User talk:Tenebrae/Archive 6RFAI think you should go for it. You're a good editor, and frankly, we could use you. Either way, pleasure to be working with ya :) -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 18:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Durin has a point. Waiting a week or so would probably be a good idea, or at least a show of good faith. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 18:42, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Silver SurferI've semi-protected this as requested. But only for a week. If after a week, vandalism resumes at a high level, let me know, and I'll reset the protection. I don't think it should be indefinite until it can be shown that temporary semi-protection did not manage to control the vandalism. BTW, Discussions are underway about creating some criteria for when to use indefinite semi-protection. -- SamuelWantman 08:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC) Plot summary tagNo problem. I just found it myself the other day. I have a feeling it should be used more often. Bhissong 19:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC) Need your help/adviceAs a seasoned member of the Comics Project, I'm hoping you can help. I was trying to update the article for Agent Axis, but I've run into a sticking point. There were two Agent Axises (Axi?) in comics, one from Timely/Marvel, and one from DC. Shouldn't this be two seperate articles? If so, how do you split the article? Let me know what you think. Konczewski 15:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Description of the ThingI noticed you deleted my addition to the description of the Thing in the Fantasic Four. I think the addition is perfectly appropriate, especially given the descriptions of the others. Certainly no one can deny the Thing is known as much for his courage and fighting skills as he is for his strength! (Just as it is fair to have Sue Storm described as "Beautiful and intelligent" the Thing's courage and fighting skills should be mentioned!) I would appreciate it, if you feel this is not an appropriate addition, if you would discuss the deletion on the talk page, rather than merely deleting without discussion. I feel this is a question which should go to consensus rather than you merely deleting, and my readding. You are a good editor, and I am sure you did not mean to be rude, but I try to discuss deletions - of serious edits at least - before merely cutting. Thanks!

If you're up to it...There are still portions of the Whizzer RfC open for comment if there was anything else you had wanted to add there. - J Greb 07:35, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Fair use rationale for Image:Ethelbert.jpgThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ethelbert.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ilse@ 08:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC) sorry and thanks!Sorry ten, your application didnt turn out the way as we all (comics project members) expected.

Peace †Bloodpack† 22:26, 7 June 2007 (UTC) SummaryWhat I said, or meant to was, you edits conflicted withOUT the conflict box' so that I could fix it as it went. My initial revert included undoing the vandalism of changing hulk's name, and NOT undoing YOUR edits. However, repeatedly reloading and trying to fix the vandalism kept hitting YOUR edits, and somewhere in there, the stupid system 'skipped a groove' and undid the wrong stuff, leaving hte vandalism. As your FIRST message said, I wasn't interested in affecting your image sizing. ThuranX 20:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC) ThanksThanks for your very knowledgeable edits to Silver Surfer.

There's a great resource for artist galleries at comicartcommunity.com and I'd like to add links to those galleries on the individual artists' pages. You sent a message to me about adding links because the site is "primarily" an auction site. I would love it if that were true. However, the gallery traffic is ten times more than the auction traffic. Our auctions are free for buyers and sellers to list with a meager two percent final value fee. It's obvious we're not making money off of the auctions, we do it as a public service to fledgling artists. The reason we were adding links to these artist pages is because we noticed many people utilizing existing links on wikipedia that we ourselves did not add. We're considered a valuable resource for artists' images in the comic community and I think our links would be a valuable resource to your directory. Thanks. --Tman930 18:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC) Obviously, our views differ on this matter. We consider the gallery to be a valuable resource for comic art fans. What is the next step to resolve our editorial dispute? Is there an admnistrator for this category? We only want to do what's best for wikipedia users.--Tman930 19:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC) Reminder for Comics Notice BoardWhen you're done with a discussion or anything else that's been on the notice board, please remember to move it down to the Recent decisions section, instead of just deleting it :) -- Ipstenu (talk • contribs) 15:30, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
SkylarkeI honestly have no idea about that user or his issue with adding the site. The site (comicartcommunity) has a lot of users, and people have added links to the galleries on other artists' wikipedia pages before. It was never an issue before, so he probably didn't do it with the intention to defy the rules and policies. But then, I don't know him, so he might have. I have nothing to do with any of that, however. --Tman930 19:10, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Whizzer, Blood Brothers, Galactus

As you have a good reputation as an editor for the wiki comics project, your assistance is required. This user (Richard75) has made it very personal by insulting me and is accusing me of vandalism, which I find highly inflammatory. His complaint is that my assessments of articles is too fast. I have been a comics reader for almost 25 years and I can read extremely fast. Rather than engage in a conflict with him, perhaps you could check a few of my assessments and provide another point of view on it. I have contacted the other user and advised him that I wanted a third party and that I am willing to stop making assessments until a third opinion is complete. Based on the accolades that you have received, I thought you would be the ideal person to settle this. Maple Leaf
Thank you very much for your assistance. It is sincerely appreciated. All the best. Maple Leaf Thanks for your help. I am sure that your constructive recommendation will solve the problem I raised.

Small thing re WhizzerThe "vol. 1 vs v1" thing you brought up... the "v1" in the "Footnotes" section is being generated by the {{Comic book reference}}. It may be that the template needs to be put back to the format where it used "vol."... The reason I bring this up is that I can't see where Asgardian is plopping in a "v#", so I don't see where this specific point on his talk page is coming from. That being said, his edit does do a definite job on the reflist... - J Greb 06:19, 21 June 2007 (UTC) Footnotes, References, Ext linksgot it, see it, all good, thanks.

That's probably for the best, as some sort of mediation was clearly required. Please keep me appraised of what he/she rules regarding the DVD information. I apologise if you considered my now-removed information listings regarding the DVDs on the discussion page abhorrent, but I believed that leaving your protected main page for the series alone was very important to you. That is why I simply listed the pertinent information on the discussion page and why I will continue to maintain my pledge not to touch the main page again without your express permission. Again, please keep me informed of the admin's decision, as I don't want to get either of us in needless trouble. 86.147.92.156 02:35, 3 July 2007 (UTC) CC of my posting at User talk:86.147.92.156I have been doing my best to try to explain Wikipedia's guidelines about verification and proper sourcing, and it has become very disconcerting to read your highly personal invective as if I had personally created these guidelines. I do, however, agree with these policies, as do other responsible editors. One of Wikipedia's prime tenets is no original research — that's the Golden Rule. Everything has to be sourced to an authoritative, credible source. I understand you disagree with that. That's no reason to rail against one particular editor, and to use sarcasm and accusatory comments that truly comprises uncivil behavior. I have asked, practically invited, you to register and to read the Wikipedia Five Pillars for a better understanding of how this noble experiment works. I ask you again, and I ask that you refrain from personal invective. You would not act this way in person, I'm sure. If I can help you with links or information about Wikipedia consensus-building and basic guidelines, I will take the time to do so. In the meantime, please do not disrupt Wikipedia, including its talk pages. Thanks.--Tenebrae 02:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
CC of my posting at User talk:DoceoFirst of all, I apologise for the following elucidation's length, but I wanted to make things crystal clear for the record, as well as acknowledging specific Wikipedia guidelines to your satisfaction. I would have added this to the Marvel discussion page, but since my last entry was deleted I am assuming it is now under your direct protection. If you wish to move the discussion to my newly-generated talk page, you're as free as the next Wiki user to do so. As you can see, I have finally taken on a handle to better facilitate my communication with you on this matter. I think that the crux of this problem is that waiting for any reviews of the Maximum Entertainment DVDs will prove to be a task long in the making. Although these episodes do date from 1966, these recent DVD releases are squarely being aimed at the low-end of the children's DVD market, rather than adult collectors. I myself only discovered their existence a couple of weeks ago, nearly a whole month after their release date. I usually consider myself pretty observant when it comes to releases of older Marvel animation, and these still passed me by for nearly four weeks, thus serving as an explanation as to why I'm so insistent the release information is correctly included on your Marvel page. That is to actually say, if I almost missed them, many other genuine fans are bound to miss them as well! Currently, on your Marvel Super Heroes article, you have incorporated my citations literally by mentioning the Captain America DVD release only, which is in itself now ironically misleading considering my numerous mentions of Iron Man, Thor and Sub-Mariner also being on DVD. When I said "Captain America, in this example" in the discussion page, that actually meant that I was simply using the Captain America series release as an example; the other three series in question have all been similarly released as per my previous statements. Given that there are already five "citation needed" remarks on the page, and the fact that my information on the four DVD releases has been consistently rebuffed by you, despite me actually being able to substantiate it (albeit not to your or Wikipedia's acceptability), it is perhaps a little more understandable why I have taken this personally. Even discounting the above, all four DVD sets were all given multiple non-commercial citations in my final, highly-detailed, reference entry that you excised from the discussion page (as is entirely your exclusive prerogative now, so I will not challenge your personal decision while you own the page). I do however object to your opinion that my final entry on the discussion page was a disruptive entry, since it was restricted to the ostensibly free talk page rather than your protected main article (and as such, seems to not fall under Wikipedia's strict definition of editing disruption as per the talk page guidelines). Since I mentioned you by name on your Marvel talk page, I now realize it could have been construed as a personal attack. Therefore I would allow you to revise the entry and simply edit my brief opening paragraph should you wish to restore my breakdown of the discs for reference, along with BBFC certificates and the links to the cover artist's website as citations on the discussion page only. However, as I stated before, I will probably not belabour this particular point any further by "demanding" proof to back up this specific editing decision of yours, requesting information on the admin's findings (as you mentioned you would call in) or anything else that could be considered borderline-belligerent behaviour of the type you have already accused me of, so I will leave the matter of your Marvel Super Heroes discussion page alone. Looking into the situation further with regards to Wikipedia's rules, as far as I can tell, my proposed single-sentence entry to your personal Marvel page would have come under category number 1 of the "Unsourced material" section on Wikipedia's citation page, unless I am grossly mistaken. Please correct me if I do not understand this section accurately either, as understanding more of Wikipedia's regulations will be key to enable me to make successful additions to other pages, including some outside of your direct jurisdiction, which I am keen (and hopefully literate enough!) to do, assuming a constructive resolution of this simple matter. I would actually like in the future to add more info to your Marvel page that can easily be cited, such as the name of the composer who produced all the stock music used in the series, but at the moment I actively fear you'll edit any of my further contributions into non-existence due to what I perceive is some abrasiveness from yourself towards me, even though I still genuinely fail to see any instances of objectionable language or syntax. If you have perceived any such objectionable behaviour from me, then I can only pre-emptively apologise. In any case, I think at this point, even with proof from Amazon, Play.com and Sendit (although they obviously cannot be cited in the context of your article), I do inevitably grow increasingly fatigued by my attempts at enlightenment on this particular matter. You are obviously extraordinarily dedicated to your own Marvel Super Heroes page, have an impressive encyclopaedic knowledge of most of Wikipedia's rules, and are surely in Wikipedia's top few percent of expert page editors/owners. Given your dedication to the various pages you own, and your understandable personal reticence to acknowledge the existence of the DVDs in question, due to Wikipedia's guidelines, I believe it would probably be better for me to concentrate my future energies into stimulating the creation of third-party reviews (not self-published sources, I might stress!) of all four Marvel DVD sets on other websites. Hopefully, whenever such reviews emerge (barring anything unforeseen), they will be of an acceptable enough quality for you to possibly allow their citation on your Marvel page, and you can finally relax knowing that your page will be adequately up-to-date! I can only hope that such reviews appear at least within the next 12 months or so, and certainly before the DVDs start becoming harder to find for prospective fans, especially those from outside the UK. I also sincerely hope that you take on board at least some of my admittedly long-winded exposition regarding such a comparatively trivial matter, and that you can work towards your own consensus regarding this issue on your Marvel page in the absence of any formal reviews on other websites. I similarly have no desire to file a WP:RFC or even possibly raise the spectre of a WP:OWN should any more of my comments regarding your protected Marvel Super Heroes articles, or indeed the obviously now-protected MSH discussion page disappear, and potentially get such a prolific and constructive comicbook page owner such as yourself into trouble over such a small matter. Therefore, hopefully you can eventually clarify your stance on Wikipedia discussion pages publicly on this discussion page, or on at least one of the comicbook-related pages you own (if not all of them, with a standard disclaimer or similar). I am truly trying to help both Marvel fans in general, and your own Wikipedia standing. However, I still ultimately insist that the total prohibition of non-commercial links is detrimental with regard to certain DVD and other such releases, in that with the absence of a review or standard ISBN number, their very existence is effectively unable to be proven, given who chooses to own each article in question. This is even though such previously established commercial websites happily display the very same products for prospective paying customers. I certainly wouldn't want to see Wikipedia plagued with needless links to such websites, but the fact remains that some releases never get reviewed due to various factors marginalizing them, and thus some alternative acceptable arrangement badly needs to be found in such circumstances in order to verify such items' existence to a level satisfactory for vigilant page owners such as yourself. Doceo 16:51, 3 July 2007 (UTC) References vs External linksWP:CITE says "Articles can be supported with references in two ways: the provision of general references – books or other sources that support a significant amount of the material in the article – and inline citations, which provide source information for specific statements.". Which suggests general sources links should be included but all more specific references should used inline (a big pile of links in references especially when they are specific is not very helpful). The changes I made were to bump them down to exeternal links and it'd be better to reintroduce them back as references using WP:FN to link into the areas they explain. For example Wolverine and Deadpool the "reference" is this link [2] which doesn't verify any information and is suitable only for further reading (if that - it isn't very helpful for the entry at all). Digging I find [3] which is slightly more useful and could be used as a reference for some details but should be done inline. Equally if you look at Saint Sinner (comics) (and the other Razorline titles) the links are nearly all very general (links to Clive Barker fansites, etc.) and would require further digging. For example I have struggled to find anything relevant on Revelations - the closest thing I could find for Saint Sinner is [4] which is about the TV series. Most of those links are barely adequate as external links and really don't measure up to what is required for a reference section. So following WP:CITE I'd suggest if you can find more specific links that actually verify the information in the entry then add them in as inline citations where possible. I see you have reversed by edits and I don't feel that is the best route to improving the quality of the entries. If you disagree with what I have said I'd be happy to seek second opinions from the comics project. (Emperor 12:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC))
The citizen from beyond the rainbow bridgeI'm swamped in real life right now, so I didn't quickly respond to Asgarian's message on my talk page, which he probably should not have left at a time when it could be construed as evading a block. Taking a few days (which will probably be weeks) without editing on Wikipedia is refreshing. It's useful to step back for perspective on how absolutely nothing that affects Planet Earth will go wrong if I don't edit some articles and if I stay out of the current chapter in what is now a ten-month dispute over editing style. Yeah, it would have been best if he had not mentioned a solicitor (is he British?), but my feeling on that is like the advice I gave him: Let it roll off like water off a duck. Remember it, but don't poke that bear (yeah, I'm mixing metaphors) ourselves by bringing it up. This is a weird, weird situation, and everybody needs to be careful to use language aimed at demonstrating their attempts at objectivity should an admin unfamiliar with the situation eventually arbitrate things. Anyway, thanks for dropping by my talk page. Yours, Doczilla 17:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
As a disinterested third party, you're welcome to remove the PROD tag from the article. Joyous! | Talk 00:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC) I don't think it would be a big problem to recreate either Pandolph's article, or the one on Barkeater Lake. Of course, if you have additional information to expand either one, that would be great. If not, you might consider combining the two short articles into one longer one. Joyous! | Talk 02:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Graphic novelThis seems an awfully small thing to dispute over, but in what sense is "working on" a vague term? Would we not describe a novelist as working on a book and not understand what was meant, would we not describe a directing as working on a film and not know what was meant? I don't see the need to be so precise as "wrote and drew", especially when no other work's creation is described in such a manner, it just feels off. It's not something I'm going to edit war on, but I really don't understand what the issue is. I mean, in what sense is working on not what he actually did, and in what sense do you separate what he did into two separate forms, writing and drawing? When the two are split it is very easy to make the distinction, but when there is one creator working on the idea it becomes something of a redundancy to use both terms, as if implying that the creation goes through two processes, that of being written and then that of being drawn. Meh. Like I say, I'm not really interested in going any further over this, I just don't get it, I don't see what was so wrong in the first place. Steve block Talk 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC) Moving The MockerRegarding your request to move The Mocker (comics) to Mocker (comics): It is not necessarily true that we never use “The” in article titles. If The is part of the usual or official title of the subject, or is more commonly used, then it should be included in the article title. See The Lovin' Spoonful and The New York Times. I know nothing about The Mocker—is he usually referred to as The Mocker or just Mocker? If someone were discussing him, would the person say “Mocker did that” or “The Mocker did that”? ●DanMS • Talk 23:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

response to response I don't think you can devalue them seeing as how there really is no value to them. I think they are just used to show that people are doing good work and you know keep it up.

You've reverted the article again, you're placing the exemplars above the manual of style and you don't seem to be working out what is best for the article in question. We have a policy which states we can ignore rules to the betterment of the encyclopedia, and in my opinion my version better suits the official guidelines and policies than the version you are reverting to. The exemplars were written a long time ago by a handful of users, myself included, and are being badly misinterpreted at any rate; they don't dictate that an article's publication history consist of a list of the comics a character has appeared in. The goal at Wikipedia is to write an encyclopedic treatment of a given subject. That's all I'm really interested in doing. I'm not interested in discussing bright clear lines and what this or that article merits, I'm only interested in seeing all article eventually improve to featured article status and comply as best as possible with the manual of style. The new manual of style on writing about fiction supercedes the exemplars, which were never intended to be slavishly followed, but I am after all, only one editor, I refuse to edit war and I will allow the wiki process to work as it does. For me, Wikipedia is not a project where one edits each article so that they comply with some dictat. For me it's about improving each article according to its needs. I think blindly enforcing standards is just another form of WP:OWN, to be honest, and I can think of more pressing issues facing comics articles than whether they meet the outdated exemplars. I for one would be more worried that they tend to fail four of the five core content policies. Take it easy, see you around. Steve block Talk 15:46, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

AIV reportThank you for making a report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators generally only block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you. In this case, it was because 86.156.173.11 was several days old and there were no warnings prior to instances of vandalism.--Chaser - T 20:36, 22 July 2007 (UTC) Your messagesDon't worry about informing me for each one added, If you think the rationale is OK, detag the image page and instances as well as striking/removing the relevant entry in the compact list I put on the uploaders page :) Sfan00 IMG 15:54, 27 July 2007 (UTC) review please?User:ThuranX/Sandbox can you take a look at the two templates, and leave me comments either under each, or on the sandbox talk? thanks.

Gardner Fox "Bat-" arsenal attribution: "...Complete History", Daniels p.31 " : "Batman and Me," Kane/Andrae p.103 2. NATIONAL (DC Comics) no byline policy: "Showcase Presents:Batman vol. 2 Credit page\intro "Until the 1970s, it was not common practice in the comic industry to credit all stories." (Personal note: this was true but Marvel gave out bylines,although they were often mis-leading. Charlton allowed artists to sign their name and in the late 60s, DC did the same. However, I think it was Jack Kirby who said the main rationale for comic book companies' refusal of giving out bylines is because they didn't want to reveal their talent pool to their competition and even forbade "moonlighting".) 3. Finger's use of "giant props": "Batman and Me," Kane/Andrae p.119-120 " : "Steranko's History..." p. 49 4.

And I was wondering what the evidence was for this claim. Thing is it was me who asked them for help with that entry (and some others they might be interested in). I haven't seen any patterns suggesting they are the publisher of that title as their edits are of a wide range of comics and Russian entries. Obviously that doesn't prove anything and if there are WP:COI issues I'd like to keep an eye out for any problems that might occur. Thanks for any help you can provide.

John RomitaSince when does one delete something he doesn't understand? You can either leave a message in the article talk page or in my talk page mentioning the disputed fact so I can rewrite it in case there is some ambiguity (there was). John Romita has done some way more in his later years than what was there. I'll be glad that you leave the information while I and others can look for more to be added. I added the name to the expand article in the Comics project board to bring attention to it. --Leocomix 06:54, 18 August 2007 (UTC) X2Hi man. The talk page shows significant support for X2:Xmen United. Can you explain why you've moved it? IMDb's not the best source, and I've seen the United title in plenty of places. The DVD cover lists it as X2 Xmen United [9]. Unless the company's internal title varies by product, I'd say that the movie itself is reasonable source for keeping it at the fuller title. Thanks man.

Aquaman DisputeHello, Tenebrae. I was referred to you by fellow WikiProject Comics member Maple Leaf to see if you may be able to assist in a dispute over the Aquaman article. You see, I was under the impression that they wished me to create a separate page for the new incarnation of the character, Arthur Joseph Curry. When I created the page, other users illustrated to me that I had misunderstood them and reacted in a very hostile manner. I then stood behind my decision for the split when Maple Leaf brought to my attention that the Aquaman article itself was relatively large by normal article standards. A user then reverted the change and re-merged the articles, regardless of the glaring size issue. I would appreciate your input and assistance in this manner. The main discussion is happening on the talk page for the Aquaman article, and your intervention as a respected member of the WikiProject would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! --CmdrClow 03:34, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
The HulkGood last edit. I was trying to find a previous version that made sense, but you found a better one. Careful on labeling edits "dualing fan...". Your edits could be labeled similarly. Lastly, it was a good point you made about Black Bolt, etc. The general reader does not know who the other characters are simply by reading the article, but they should be able to link back the their respective entries to get further reference. However, I think your changes are still good ones. 24.9.20.149 07:01, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
InfoboxesThis page indicates that non-free content is never to be used in any template. The infobox is by definition a template. It is possible that the page itself is supplanted by other policies elsewhere. If it is, please make the appropriate adustments to the page itself. Personally, though, given the phrasing of the statement, it seems to me unlikely that there are such supplanting policies.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

The text was not intented for the wikipedia, I tried to fix ti, but i think it still does not work. I want to put something better, and more apropiate. But i have two problems. One is my english is not up to the task, and the other hand i am not shure what is the correct aproach. One is the plot that is deleted, and the other the list of the main scenes cuted and reedited. Both things may be interesting to the readers, specially since most of the people in other countires hass seen the uncut version. Also i want to thank you for cleaning my edits. I am taking into accocunt your obsrvations. Nanahuatzin 22:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
OopsNo worries - I suppose the best thing about wikis is you always have a second pair of eyes on everything. Good spot on the blog - I'll keep a beadier eye out in the future (as I should probably have spotted those earlier - again how useful the second set of eyes can be ;) ). (Emperor 03:07, 8 September 2007 (UTC)) External LinksHi. You've removed lots of ELs based on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Examples, namely "Wikis, including Wikipedia and other wikis sponsored by the Wikimedia Foundation are not regarded as reliable sources." However, ELs are not sources, they are further reading links. Otherwise how do you explain the hundred of articles linking to Wookiepedia [11] and Memory Alpha [12]? They are Wikis, as such, they violate policy. Why won't you try and remove those? --217.129.169.136 15:54, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia policyI reverted the articles to before replacing the already existing links with the template, while you removed links posted with good faith. I don't think it's your place to remove ELs, especially when you unduly rename the ELs section to References, which is a completely different thing. --PicketyFence 12:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Pardon me...Pardon me, but I've never been blocked, as you asserted. There was a spurious/harassing message left by a throwaway account on my talk page. Please reconsider your comment. —dgiestc 07:44, 11 September 2007 (UTC) re: "Comic book references" templateThere's a link for it here after the main table. It's also in the WikiProject Comics templates and Category:WikiProject Comics articles (which seems redundant...). So it is accessible ;) And directly for {{Cite comic}} (it was recently moved). And it should be fixed now. One thing, and I've gotten to the point where I don't what to bang my head on a wall over it, at least one editor is of the mind set that "not all comic book series that share an exact title have volume numbers." His view comes from the though that a book needs at least a years run to qualify and he's using fan/hobby sites to back it up. When I looked up the definition of the word from various sources, couldn't find an industry one, they read that the "year" was a general, but not needed, item. This template is going to force the use of volume numbers or bread confusion. - J Greb 18:39, 11 September 2007 (UTC) FootnotesI've looked at the project exemplars they all use the word "References". In terms of {{reflist}} vs <references /> the issue with reflist is that it the text is too small (even for a comparatively healthy adjusted eyesight like mine). However if there is a compelling reason to use {{reflist}} now is a good time for me to find out about it. Rich Farmbrough, 19:50 11 September 2007 (GMT).
I think that the 16,000 articles with hidden footnotes need the footnotes making visible pretty quick. Referencing and citation are probably WP's biggest issue at the moment. Rich Farmbrough, 20:26 11 September 2007 (GMT).

The multi-part Rand essay is heavy going and while it is a speculative as a theory it is interesting and could even explain some of the mysteries in background. Worth adding but I avoided summarising it as the reader will have to make up their own mind (and it might take up quite a bit of space to do it justice). (Emperor 22:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)) The Hulk, a shapeshifter?In regards to your edit here, is it just me or is the explanation of the shapeshifter category vague? Perhaps it can be specified better, as it reads: "Fictional characters with the power to change their shape, often assuming or impersonating the identities of another..." I was under the belief that Bruce Banner / The Hulk was an example of this, Banner constantly shapeshifts into the monster, that's why I added that category a few days back. What should be done here?
