Talk:Yukikaze (novel)

Fair use rationale for Image:Sentou Yousei Yukikaze.jpg
Image:Sentou Yousei Yukikaze.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 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.

 * I would use this image instead:


 * http://www.dvdvisionjapan.com/imgs/av22900.jpg


 * This is cover of volume 1 of 3. If you want an original scan I can upload one as I have this DVD. The original English site from Bandai, yukikazenet.com, no longer exists. I tried looking through the Japanese website (www.faf.jp) but everything's copyrighted or hidden inside Flash menus. I'd say using one DVD cover to advertise the series seems to fall under fair use, but I'm not a rules lawyer.


 * However, if you want a rationale for the existing picture, I'd say that


 * a) the image is of B-503 Yukikaze, so it is representative of the subject
 * b) the subject is OVA, almost 3 hours of animation, so one image is a tiny fraction of it
 * c) this was a part of wallpapers that WERE given out free on yukikaze.net website (cannot be verified, site no longer exists, though dimensions fit), so it's as free as you can get
 * d) there is no free media that can substitute this. Even DVD cover is not public.

 * The DVD cover is not public, but it is fair use for review purposes under international copyright law. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with using a free wallpaper, just pointing out that the use of DVD covers in wiki is legit.  Don't want anyone who happens to read this getting the wrong idea. Moritheil (talk) 22:29, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Clean up
I've done some major clean up of this article, including getting it more in line with the Anime and manga MoS. I've added a reception section where, hopefully, we can get some review comments and the like. For now, it has the award info there. I also added the media section with a summary of the series release in Japan and elsewhere. I removed the DVD details as it was overly long, unsourced, and read like a sales catalog (with some fan commentary tossed in). As part of this clean up, I also removed the absurdly long plot summaries stuff into the episode list. Those were longer than the ones allowed for 2 hour films! It violates the MoS, and WP:PLOT (and depending who you ask, WP:Copyright). If someone would like to write new plot summaries of a more appropriate nature, please go for it. Remember, an episode summary should be 100-300 words in length, and should not be a blow-by-blow, scene-by-scene breakdown of the episode, but a short summary of the major plot points/events in the series. The old summaries can be found here if needed for reference (or so someone who hasn't seen the series can try to redo), but please don't just add them back. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 03:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Improved Summary?
I wrote the original synopsis for the five episodes, which were clearly way too detailed. However, the new ones are a bit short. Here's my "revised" versions. Can someone look them over and merge them in as needed? -- Kschang77 (talk) 04:08, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Operation 1

The human race has beaten back an invasion by an alien race called the JAM, and a stalemate now exists on "Fairy", on the other side of the portal, where humans have established "Fairy Air Force". Lt Rei Fukai pilots the Yukikaze reconnaissance plane to record battle between human and JAM forces. After one mission, Fukai encounters a duplicate of his plane, but with no IFF transponder. Has the JAM infiltrated the Fairy Air Force?

Operation 2

Fukai must deal with the loss of his precious Yukikaze, only to see it reborn in a new body. In the meanwhile, General Cooley tries to assemble clues as to how deep the infiltration have gone.

Operation 3

Rei and a Fairy Air Force computer tech investigate an airborne fortress that had gone silent. They landed, and find the place completely empty, like a ghost ship. Where is all the crew? Is it the JAM? If so, how?

Operation 4

Rei and his superior Bukhar took Yukikaze to test a new engine design on Earth, only to see 3 JAM planes gotten through the portal ahead of them. Will the Earthlings roll out the welcome mat? Or just a lot of cold shoulders?

Operation 5

A conspiracy is brewing in the FAF, and Yukikaze, and her pilot Rei, may be the last hope as FAF goes for broke: get through the portal, then destroy the portal once and for all. JAM, however, did not like that idea at all... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kschang77 (talk • contribs) 04:08, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

We don't have to write down every last brainfart that happened in the episodes, don't we? --Eaglestorm (talk) 15:22, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Info about the spin-off
It may be a good idea to include information about the spin-off Rescue Me Mave-chan here and make the link a redirect to this article so I left some references in the Refideas boilerplate above. Regards. – Allen4names (contributions) 03:57, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
