[edit] Fandom in Mina's overview on lovelife

There's too much fandom! It should be removed if there's no sources for it soon. --71.105.1.23 22:10, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

This needs a lot of work. There was more information on fan interpretations of events than on what the character had actually done! Where's the information on how she originally started her singing career, how she got back her mother, or her attempts to be a Freedom Fighter?

Mina's designed to be a love interest. That is how she's had a relationship to the main charachter (Sonic) within the series. So while it is important to explain her history, many fans will also be more attatched to the relationship between the two charachters (because that's her primary purpose to the storyline). Though at this point I don't see any harm with keeping things the way they are. SonicMobius 16:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

"Fan reactions", meanwhile, are generally not considered appropriate for Wiki articles, except where they have a clear effect on the sbjuect (such as the fan movement to overturn the original Star Trek's cancellation, or a TV show being cancelled due to poor fan reaction). Saying that there is a large number of people still in favor of a "Mina-Sonic" pairing is acceptable under wiki policy, paragraphs on what they think (or what someone thinks those fans think) of events is not. I know a lot of work has been put into those paragraphs, and I am sorry, but this isn't the correct forum for that.D1Puck1T 23:14, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

The "fan interpretation" stemmed mostly from something the editor of the series had actually said. so instead of placing what the editor said as a beleif by the fans, I found and quoted what was said. Hope that's satisfactory SonicMobius 16:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to fix it up! --71.104.182.53 08:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

While it's a nice picture, the description reads "current design" which isn't remotely accurate. She only had that outfit for a few panels and one splash page. Does anyone have a more recent image? 99.243.144.54 19:25, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes I do as this new Image is from the feb 2008 comic of the series. [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.140.128.142 (talk) 14:33, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Minaheartbreak.jpg

Image:Minaheartbreak.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.
