As you can plainly see in Tatsunoko's official website (link), the official English title is "Space Ace". Again, not being released in the US has nothing to do with the article's name.--Nohansen (talk) 04:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops, my bad. Although, you see, you moved the page to Space Ace (TV Series) instead of (anime), which created double redirects. : ) – J U M P G U R U @^{Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia} 15:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Space Ace was/is a TV Series (akin to Prince Planet, Kimba the White Lion, Amazing Three, etc. ). It was dubbed into English and released in Australia (c. 1968). I have twice added an external link to a website which has valuable Space Ace info hoping that some Wiki editor would read it and update the article, but instead it has been removed both times. I am of the opinion it should be reinstated as a resource at least until the article is updated with better information. Moiira (talk) 12:29, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fansites are not resources. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 12:45, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you kidding me? You're telling me information is not a resource? And in Wikipedia of all places! Incredible. 121.220.140.152 (talk) 21:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a fansite, its an encyclopedia. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 22:02, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, duh. You need to get off this dogmatic fixation about the word "fansite". Fansite, shmansite, I don't give a hoot what it is. The only point is that the link is to a web page somewhere that contains information this article desperately needs. I'm not seeing any gainful or constructive efforts from any other direction here. I mean, this article has effectively been stuck in a basic limbo for how long now? 121.220.140.152 (talk) 13:32, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine if you don't give a "hoot", the link still isn't going to be added. Wikipedia actually does have policies and guidelines whether you like it or not. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 13:57, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The website you are linking to is not a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict guidelines about what can and what cannot be used as sources which can be found at WP:SOURCES. Since the website you linked to is a self-published source, it falls under the guidelines at WP:SPS. Has Glen Johnson's writings on 60s anime been independently republished by a reliable source? If not, then it cannot be accepted as a source. As for using it as an external link, I'm not seeing where it will pass under any of the allowable usage criteria for fansites at WP:EL. Linking to fansites are generally discourage after all and will require the site owner is a recognized authority that, at a minimum, meets Wikipedia's notability criteria for biographies. --Farix (Talk) 14:32, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Farix, that was a useful and well-reasoned response. I appreciate you taking the time and effort. Moiira (talk) 07:31, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
