[edit] Parallels

Anybody wondering if making a list of parallel characters/ideas would be interesting? For instance, it's obvious that Gyro and Johnny are parallels of (or close to) Baron and Jonathan, respectively, but there are other small references to the earlier manga: Speedwagon Foundation (now Speedwagon Oil), Enya makes an appearance, still telling fortunes, Dio of course, etc...

Good idea? Bad idea?

I think it would be a good idea, considering this series is essentially a revision of everything that came before it.

This article on SBR could really use more details about the plot development in the series. I don't feel able to do this since I'm reading it in Chinese and many of the characters names are different. Maybe someone acquainted with the Japanese version can lend a hand?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Steel Ball Run Volume 10.jpg

Image:Steel Ball Run Volume 10.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.
