Yeah, a few weeks ago, when I realized that several episodes were given names that corresponded to characters, places and concepts in the series and the confusion that would ensue, I began adding "Episode ##: "Episode Title" (2003 or 2009 series). I feel that the episodes should have the number in the title for reference and include the year of the series to specify to which they belong, but haven't had a chance to get to all the episodes yet, but if you would like to change the others in kind, that would be greatly appreciated.

I feel it is important that episode numbers be included in the article titles and, since there are two separate anime series, there should be a year tag in the titles to differentiate between the series when the titles are put together in the Episode list, but after seeing your moves, I realize it might be prudent for me to remove the quotation marks from the article titles I've renamed.

regarding spellings
FUNimation's pretty great and they did a terrific job with FMA, but as many words weren't spelled out in roman letters, there was room for error and a couple transliteration errors made. It was easy and can't really be blamed on the company, but the fact remains that spellings in the manga list the nation as Ishval, as does the new series. I'm sure you know that Japanese has no "v" sound and mimics it with a sound like a "b", prompting FUNi's choice. "Ishbal" is a discrepancy. However, I have been reluctant to alter the spelling of the word in relation to the anime and episode titles, since that is what is officially printed and distributed. The way I'd planned to deal with it is to alter all spellings to "Ishval" except for those that occur in Episode Pages. CorbeauKarasu 02:47, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

-Haha, no problem. On a side note, I really think they should have dove a little more into the history of the Tucker family...but that's based off my own preferences =P Cheers!
