[edit] French verb "ignorer"

In the Counter-Earth section, the quote from the French was mis-translated into English. The French infinitive "ignorer" is what is known as a "faux ami" - a "false friend." It doesn't mean in English what it appears to mean. Rather than "to ignore," it is generally translated as "to be unaware of," or "to be ignorant of." This was changed to more accurately reflect the French.

[edit] The List of Stories and Other Publications

There seems to be some confusion about the number of books in the series, as well as the exact spelling of their names.

For instance, the comic-book “L’ombre d’un homme” only gives its own title as well as other titles of the series written in all caps. The Urbicande Albums Page seems like a reliable source to some extent. Some things remain unclear to me, however, like why it lists “L’enfant penchée” (1996) with -e- and “L’Enfant penchée” (2007) with -E-. The Wikipedia list lacks some titles of the Urbicande listing and vice versa.

Apparently it will require some extra philologic work to put together a complete and accurate list. – Jippe 09:28, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cites obscures etpv.jpg

Image:Cites obscures etpv.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.
