thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Autobot logo s.jpg

message: It has always been pretty apparent, but even more so with a recognizable (and the only) african-american voice actor behind him that JAZZ is to-be inferred as the African-American equivalent in the Transformers world? "One of their fiercest warriors and good at learning new cultures"...I think its definitely noteworthy enough that this was and still is a pretty commonplace correlation.
Eh. You might have a point. But I seriously doubt that there was any kind of political or cultural point to the decision. --MrDopple 18:14, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

message: What is the policy of Wikipedia on "spoiler warnings"? That is, if a movie is not even released, shouldn't there be a warning on items that reveal the plot/outcomes? There's a big (and I'm not sure if it's true) spoiler in the movie section. 
ElCapitanAmerica
I don't think its true at all.I heard somewhere that it was in the script's first draft but then scrapped.I'll just get rid of it.
I'm extremely new to Wikipedia, so pardon me if I'm not using the proper protocol. That being said, the aforementioned SPOILER should be removed... there should at least be a warning.
I removed what I deem to be a serious spoiler alert from the movie plot section. This movie hasn't been released in America. If anyone has a problem, they can wait until tomorrow after the movie's release and justifiably return the section. I don't want to hear any complaints about it either. Someone ruined a considerable portion of the movie's plot for people who haven't seen it yet, just so they can be the first to add to the article and get credit for it. I don't care about any attempt to justify it as "a risk someone takes for getting details on a character" either. Especially since American audiences cannot verify the details themselves until they can see the movie on July 3rd. Don't like it? Tough.--MrDopple 18:09, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Encyclopedias don't tend to have "spoiler warnings".  There needs to be a very compelling reason to add spoiler tags to articles, and there really isn't one for this article. --  JediLofty User ¦ Talk 08:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: What recent interview, and why wasn't it linked? Also, the toy bio, like many other Hasbro TF toy bios written by Forrest Lee, may not be binding to any current or future storyline. In fact, the Jazz G1-style repaint's bio is likely totally made up to explain why the toy is suddenly in G1 colours, so it should not be cited as a possible future outcome for Movie Jazz. - FFN
: Agreed. Until proof of this interview is shown, please refrain from adding it to the article. Djseifer 22:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Jazz-animated.jpg

message: Jazz was not the one to issue the fallback order upon Megatron's arrival during the final battle. It was Ratchet. It's a small inaccuracy, but one nonetheless. However, I did not make this edit as I see it's been a point of disagreement in the history, with some indicating Ratchet gave the order, others that only Jazz can issue such an order, as he was the most senior autobot officer present.

message: "During the time between the film's release and the start of season 3 of the TV show, Jazz's voice actor, Scatman Crothers, died."
Actually, he died on November 22, 1986, two days after the last episode of the year aired.  It should also be pointed out that Roger C. Carmel, who predeceased Crothers by 11 days, was still active on the show during that time.
