If the content is to remain in use it needs to be fixed up, which I can't do as I don't own the movie, so I'll leave the decision to someone who does. --Kizor 06:46, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

text: How can we really tell that is Scarlett? What would she be doing flying planes, and for that matter, would she still look as young as she does, years later? And why would she dye her hair red? I was under the impression that this character was either the daughter of Scarlett or Ray (or both), considering these questions that have yet to be answered. Please cite the source of your information. --TwilightxPrince 02:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not intended to be that much later.  The hair color change is common in anime to represent a character aging.  Also, she's not blond, she's actually a light redhead, and her name is intended to reflect that.  Look at the sequence.  Notice the dog beside her.  Note the name of the plane.  These scenes were intended to depict possible future adventures of Steamboy.  Note that they were in a chronological order.  Ray returns home, Scarlett returns home, Lloyd dies, etc.  What did Scarlett do with the O'Hara foundation after she returned home?  Would they not have continued research into aviation?  Did she perhaps want to prove herself as an adventurer as well, using the vast resources of the Foundation to acheive this goal?  Those are the types of things we are to wonder about, but I do not believe they are intended to extend far enough into the future to allow for a child between the two characters.  In the DVD special features Otomo himself talks about how the scenes during the credits were intended as sort of a playground for the mind, and could be used as inspiration for the team to continue the story with, after he had left.--Walkeraj 19:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Steamboy.jpg

message: In the plot synopsis it claims that Edward Steam was hit with a freezing gas. It was actually high pressure steam, the gas only caused a freezing affect after the steamballs were allowed to cool to a lower temperature and then released. At the beginning of the movie the steamball was being created and thus high temperature and pressure steam was being used. Anyone mind if I change this? --Cobsterjh (talk) 21:08, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Under budget, it says:
¥2,000,000,000,00
$20,000,000,00
Now if we properly align those to:
¥ 200,000,000,000 (200 Billion)
$2,000,000,000 (2 Billion)
I really don't think this movie had a $2 billion budget. ;) King Rhyono (talk) 20:22, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I already uploaded the U.S Steamboy poster to be used in the Release section of the movie. Now someone has to add the image to that section. I can't do it because I lack the skills. Please, someone do it. Stein256 (talk) 04:19, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Stein, we try to have the earliest theatrical release poster in the infobox. In this case, that would be the Japanese one, so there is no real need to have the American one. Andrzejbanas (talk) 04:46, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Steamboy U.S. poster 

message: The removal of Studio 4°C from the credited production companies comes from the fact that they are only assisting with animation. Sunrise is the main producer, and 4°C didn't have a specific job that makes them higher than the other companies that worked on Steamboy. Should we keep 4°C, then we should also add studios such as Production I.G, MADHOUSE, Satelight, and so forth because of their involvement with the series. Taking a look at Anime News Network's encyclopedia, it's apparent that a vast number of studios worked on the film, but the only one listed as animation work is "Sunrise." Furthermore, the rest of the work was split between many other studios, making their involvement large together but minimal individually. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2161
The Japanese Wikipedia correctly labels the production companies without the involvement of Studio 4°, Production I.G, and etc. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%81%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0%E3%83%9C%E3%83%BC%E3%82%A4
Credits of the movie itself show evidence of this: https://imgur.com/a/XEL5KZU , https://imgur.com/a/1davjVW (制作協力 = production co-operation)
After a debate with members of the Anime-Planet community, a MyAnimeList that has mods who change the anime information rather than registered users (they also look for references and sources to verify community database submissions), they have decided that Sunrise is the only studio deserving of the main credit. https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/steamboy
Should we add Studio 4°C as a credit, then the other credits would also be necessary, as well as the fact that other movies would need tons of credits as well because movies on large scales, such as this one, generally have tons of studio credits because of expenses an the need to make the movies look good. Most commonly, like in this case, non-main studios are listed as production co-operation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarcataclysmal (talk • contribs) 06:32, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

message: In the production section there's mention of three 1994 ovas. I didn't do a ton of research but I couldn't find any mention of it on the internet, and the citation leads nowhere.
