List of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes[edit]

This list no longer meets the criteria for being a featured list. Its lead is inadequate and is missing basic information on licensing, availability, etc. The summaries for episodes are primarily teasers and many are far too short (one line in some cases). There are several bold statements that are unsourced in the lead. The references seem to be a combination of ELs and refs. Collectonian (talk) 15:30, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly not beyond help, but it would be nice to see it updated to current standards. Any takers? Drewcifer (talk) 06:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if it's relevant that this list's lead doesn't talk about licensing or availability. The summaries should be improved, though. -- Ned Scott 07:49, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most other FL episode lists do at least discuss that the episodes are licensed for release and/or airing in English. Another issue I've found seems to be an inconsistency between whether the list is going to use the English or Japanese spellings of things, particularly with Ishval versus Ishbal (this seems to be a problem through FMA articles, though). I've done some clean up, but having not seen the entire series, there isn't much else I can do, and no one else is stepping in to address the issues.

Define 'several' bold statements; I sourced the Animage thing, but I don't see what else explicitly needs a cite. —TangentCube, Dialogues 08:43, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Animage was the main thing, but anything not supported by the list itself should be explicitly cited, including the movie info and its airdates in Japan and on the Cartoon Network. Neither of the citations given in that paragraph give the start or end dates. Since the movie has its own article and is an actual movie, why is it listed as an episode?
