Great start on the story section. However, there's some overlap in explanations and details between the story, the setting and the character sections. The article could be clearer if without them, IMHO.

Leviathan 1 is at the 2nd Langrange point, according to the fourth Last order volume. Also, the last 'T' in ZOTT stands for "Tournament", IIRC. I've changed these details for now. HertzaHaeon 20:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cam Ranh is Camlann. Problems with inverse transliterations

The tragedy of Cam Ranh is probably Camlann, the death place of King Arthur, related with Merlin and Morgana. In comics, I have seen that this kind of problems happens frequently with Occidental transliterations of Japanese transliterations of originally Occidental words.

By the way, in the Italian edition, the transliteration was changed from the first version, Kamuran (in the first issues) to Camlann in the last issues.--217.172.203.2 10:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Story section - turning into a plot summary

The story section is turning into a volume by volume plot summary. It needs to get away from this and provide a general overview of the series without going into too much detail. BrokenSphereMsg me 14:40, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. I'd happily write a first draft, but I don't want to read about volume 10 to spoil things for myself. Someone should get on it, however. HertzaHaeon 21:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Too late for me...Well I had skimmed up thru the last phase just before the last part, so I can do it.  :) BrokenSphereMsg me 22:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Alita-attack.jpg

Image:Alita-attack.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] References

I added all the books as references so noone complains in this article as they did in the character article. But the reference list is basically the same information as the manga list, so I suggest some kind of trimming. The manga listing looks much nicer than the standard trade reference list though.

[edit] Appreciation

Hey, thanks for the clear up on Last Order! I was so confused when I was reading it and I couldn't tell where the story fitted in. In thanks, --24.23.19.56 (talk) 20:02, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
