message: Why no information of Macross F manga? All I know is that it started its serialization in February.. no information on whether it is the adaptation of this anime, or the series is the adaptation of the manga. --staka (T ・C) 17:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Macross II didn't occur in the MACROSS FRONTIER universe. The term Zentran was used in DYRL as an alternate name for the male Zentradis, while Meltran was also used to name the Meltrandi female alien warriors. The Marduk have nothing to do with the MACROSS FRONTIER continuity... Kronnang Dunn (talk) 20:25, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Yes this is a quibbling point, but someone or some people have been using & as a shortcut to writing "and".  It's just 2 more letters to type and this is supposed to be encyclopedic content.  Please avoid using shortcuts like these unless it's part of an actual name or the like.  --BrokenSphereMsg me 16:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I accidentally marked it as a minor edit, but I updated the listed episode count from "13 scheduled" to 25. The latest news post on the official site links to information about the shows DVD/Blu-Ray release schedule, which is nine volumes - with one episode on the first and three on the following eight.

thread_title:  Episode count 

message: According to an article in the recently released June 2008 Issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Newtype magazine called "The Official Art of Macross Frontier", the official name of the VF-25 is "Messiah" (メサイア), a reference to the song "Shao Pai Long" from The Super Dimension Fortress Macross.

message: Episode 4 states that Ranka was the only survivor of the attack on the 117th fleet, not "one of the few". Could someone confirm this and make the necessary adjustments?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.136.10.190 (talk) 16:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Episode 5 clearly shows a number of individuals who are addressed as survivors of the 117th fleet (Ranka isn't present in the scene, though Ozma is).  So presumeably the comment about Ranka being the sole survivor was either a writer error...  or more likely a mistake on the part of whichever translator you used (assuming that you don't speak Japanese yourself) for the dialogue. --Junior612 (talk) 00:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I think the recently retitled "Soundtrack" section could use some better organization.  It seems the data can be better presented using more WP:STYLE friendly markup, or possibly a table.  I have not seen the deculture edition, but the article as is seems to imply that the music for that edition is different from that of the first episode of the regular series run.  Regardless, I think dividing it into two separate subcategories is unnessisary, the preview can just be treated as another episode.  If the music is different, then perhaps this should be explicitly mentioned.
:OK, on review, only one track was not redundant, so I squished it together.  Fixed the formatting a bit too.  I think it looks quite a bit better. -Verdatum (talk) 17:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, thank you for making it better and better. Since there're new releases coming, many of us have contributed within the short period of time... But with different people with different opinions, translations and styles (and I'm certain most of us aren't purposely vandalizing), can we try to make it more "uniform"? I mean, for example, take a look on other anime series like Gundam, it looks more "refined" and "uniform". What do you think? Thank you. (Howardchu (talk) 19:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This article looks like it could use a large amount of cleanup, such as moving the characters to their own page, List of Macross Frontier characters, the songs in a proper table, the episodes moved to List of Macross Frontier episodes and a few other minor fixes.

message: This sets the number of episodes to 28. Will make the proper corrections...
Kronnang Dunn (talk) 06:12, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you do that by counting the number of weeks to decide the total number of episodes, it might be wrong. Furthermore, there has not been any official announcement saying that it will contain 28 episodes. On certain weeks, episodes may not air due to particular events to drag a pre certain anime to last longer. I propose to leave the number of episodes blank first. From most sources, it is largely popular that the number of episodes will be 25, this being the 25th anniversary of the first Macross series, hence it will contain 25 episodes to mark this event. However, even this is not official, so please leave it blank first.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1qwf (talk • contribs) 15:07, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

text: The 25th anniversary of the franchise was LAST YEAR (2007), and still the official site has 28 slots for its episode listing. After carefully counting the number of weeks the episode count is still 28, so I will just leave it that way... Kronnang Dunn (talk) 12:31, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The official site does not have "slots"--that's just an assumption that the episode listing will form an INVISIBLE grid of 4x7 buttons. That's speculation, and speculation doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Please stop adding assumptions to Wikipedia. 1-54-24 (talk) 05:27, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

text: The Japanese wikipedia article lists 25 episodes, based on a news article that lists 25 planned episodes. I will make the change, since this is the only actual episode count that is listed in a reputable source so far. 1-54-24 (talk) 05:45, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Additionally, this page  has listed the dvd/blu-ray release schedule of the show for a number of months, and explicitly lists it as 25 episodes. This was linked from the offical webpage  on the 25th of April. Midshift (talk) 06:49, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I have moved the huge elaborated chunk of terms and technology to a page under Terminology. This is to allow easy navigation of the main page.

message: Someone as enacted a merge request for VF-25 Messiah article with main page of Macross Frontier.  I am against this, technolony related & other detail background info has been sent over to the List of Macross Frontier terminology.  I think if has to be merged, it should be tossed over there and not muck up the main info page for Frontier. -- Colt9033 (talk) 11:32, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Would there be an appropriate place to mention that the English description of a kabuki play that characters view on a computer screen in one episode was lifted verbatim from the English-language Wikipedia entry on said play?

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
