`  == Anime versus Manga Specifics ==  It seems that we are faced with a bit of an interesting dilemma. As the manga progresses further and further, it also diverges further and further from the ending fabricated by the creators of the anime series. The nature of the philosopher's stone, the homunculi, their creator, Hoenheim, the gate, and even the world itself is very different. It may in fact be prudent to split this article (which is getting rather long anyway) into two separate articles, Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga) and Fullmetal Alchemist (Anime), with a short disambiguation page taking the place of the main page. Since many of the pages linked to on the main page are specific to manga and anime anyway, this would simply allow us to present a cleaner overall summary. Any thoughts?     :I'd prefer keeping things together as much as possible, giving precedence to the manga and simply explaining the differences in the anime series in the subsidiary articles. This, especially since the manga length is now dwarfing that of the anime, will be the best option in the long run. Atomizing the pages simply because of some differences won't help much, we'd hardly benefit by having a seperate Pride (Fullmetal alchemist manga) and Pride (Fullmetal alchemist anime).      ::That is an insanely ridiculous idea. Your point on the different lengths and content of the two forms of FMA merely underscore the necessity of separating the article. The majority of people who have experienced FMA and link to it at Wikipedia for the first time have no idea that an FMA manga even exists, apart from the general knowledge that most successful animes have a manga form. The majority of people who would consider themselves fans of FMA have never read a single FMA manga. This also underscores the vast difference between the two subjects. For they are just that. Two entirely different subjects.  ::I can see that there might be a need to consolidate minor linked pages. I am all for this. But trying to write a combined article for both the manag and anime is impossible. And by this I mean that the current article utterly fails the public. It needs to be separated.  ::Most important of all perhaps, is that the subjects need be treated VERY differently. All information about FMA (anime) is currently either known or obtainable. The community needs to focus on improving this article to reflect that knowledge.  ::All of the information regarding FMA (manga) is not known. Because it does not exist yet. The manga is not finished. The community needs to focus on ordering information efficiently to account for the addition of future information, and reflecting what is currently not known concerning the series.  ::In fact there are numerous reasons why the two articles subjects should be given separate article. But as they are all obvious I will not needlessly list them.    ::It seems like no one has commented on this again in a while, but the fact of the matter is that while over the years, the manga has become increasingly discrete from the anime, it has lately become so separate that this article merely adds to the confusion. This is hardly something that could be appreciated w/n an encyclopedia, and requires serious revision. I plan to attempt this, but I would probably drown in my procrastination w/o help. The general opinion of others I've talked to seems to be that every time people try to correct something, it is edited out again, presumably by fans of the anime. Then again, 'gneral opinion' was stated by one person on a forum I visit, and I've yet to figure out whether others consent to this b/c they agree or b/c they don't want to argue w/ that person. Frankly, I admire and fear this person about as much as you can someone you've only met in cyberspace, but other opinions and support would be helpful. Very. ::Please. Enough w/ my rambling, but as a fan of the manga and the wonderful mangaka, I hate to see this article suffering.  ::  —Preceding unsigned comment added by      :::Some examples of corrections you feel were reverted without a good reason?
