== Brendan McCarthy Photo ==
== IOM infobox ==


Just following up on [[User talk:J Greb#"In other media" infoboxes|this]]...
Hi Emperor


I've move the template to a live page - {{tl|Infobox comics in other media}} and placed it on most of the IOM articles.
Thanks for the offer of help. [[Brendan McCarthy]] sent me a photo of himself to put up on his page, unfortunately everytime I try to add the picture it’s deleted. Any chance you could put it up for me, you can find the photo here:


I've also gotten some feed back on my talk if you're interested.

== [[CSI franchise]] ==
== Carol Danvers Death? ==


I changed the text stating the death of the character, as it is more plausible to assume from the interview and from her addition to the New Avengers cast, that Carol will fake her death. Either way, we do not know for sure the state of her during dark reign, and the source interview is inconclusive. I changed the text to reflect what we know for sure.
I have created the page [[CSI franchise]], a page you said ud help contribute too once created. Do u still want to help?


== More minor stuff-questions ==
== Illusive arts and Dorothy Notability ==


1) Doom (film) has a character, Carmack, that people keep saying is named for a real person, a programmer for the Doom game. But since Carmack the fictional character is an evil man, I've been deleting the references. Am I right to do so? It's one thing to say 'Funky Flashman is based on Stan Lee's mannerisms' when Funky is a fictional slave trader but a name is a name.
I see that you have tagged them. What would need to be done to make them more notable? I've added more information with citations for where the information came from, generally interviews or reviews of their work. They are a small independent publisher, so they won't appear in things like reference USA, although they might be in Lexis-Nexis. I'm currently doing some research to make sure the entry in Lexis refers to the correct company.


:No. The character in the movie is not intended as a reflection on id's John Carmack. If you look at names mentioned in the credits, Carmack actually isn't even the only "scientist" who was involved in the development of the original DOOM--he's just the one with the most recognizable name and the most screen time.
== Happy First Day of Spring! ==


:The names are there simply as a nod to the history of the story and its beginnings as a video game; they're just intended to elicit a knowing smile from the audience. Their presence has no biographical implications whatsoever, particularly not as reported on Wikipedia.

:TLDR: Stop removing stuff like that.

I was wondering how much you knew about templates, and if you'd be willing to help me with a problem I'm having. I recently installed the same software that Wikipedia uses (MediaWiki), and I don't understand how to get the common templates like <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> etc to work. Could you point me in the right direction? Please answer here on your talk page, as my ip address may change, best regards.

Yes, it's time to protect the Rachel Pollack page.

::It is largely covered here: [[Talk:Rachel Pollack#Transsexual?]]. ([[User:Emperor|Emperor]] ([[User talk:Emperor#top|talk]]) 17:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC))

:::Right. I wondered as much, but couldn't see anything particularly telling in the main edit history. Should have thought to check the Talk Page..! ;o) [[User:Ntnon|ntnon]] ([[User talk:Ntnon|talk]]) 20:31, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

::::It should be easy enough to fix but at the moment it is back and forth (adding, removing, etc.) when just finding some solid sources should sort it out for the most part. ([[User:Emperor|Emperor]] ([[User talk:Emperor#top|talk]]) 20:34, 10 July 2008 (UTC))

Hopefully that isn't jumping the gun...

:Oh.. and I could use a second set of eyes on Phil's comments re this on my talk and the one post section of his on the article's talk. Thanks - [[User:J Greb|J Greb]] ([[User talk:J Greb|talk]]) 02:27, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

== Comics Project branding ==

Quick query - are "C" and "low importance" the generic settings, or is there some rhyme or reason about which articles get which initial ratings/importance..? [[User:Ntnon|ntnon]] ([[User talk:Ntnon|talk]]) 17:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, I agree - the workgroup, heading and whatnot are the important additions. I just wasn't sure if you/people were weighing up everything against some kind of gold standard, or whether "C"/"low" were just reasonable middle-ratings prior to better assessment. ''[[Young Romance]]'' was the one I was a little surprised to see as "low importance" - but, philosophically, I wasn't sure enough of what the baseline was for importance to worry enough about contesting it specifically..! <small>(''YR'' is vitally important in relation to other romance comics; reasonably important relative to other genres and titles. But then as a Kirby-comic, it's probably middling; as a longlasting comic, middling, etc., etc.)</small> Are there any centralised decision-making guidelines/people, or is it all a little arbitrary...? (Also, there must be a way to see which articles are "High"/"A", etc., surely..? Any idea how I find it, please?! :o) I see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Comics/Assessment#Quality_scale|guidelines]], and they provide the reverse-links to ''all'' articles rated a certain way, but I can't seem to separate "comics" from "everything".) [[User:Ntnon|ntnon]] ([[User talk:Ntnon|talk]]) 23:13, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

:Browsing a bit further... I see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Top-importance&limit=500 "top"]-level rated articles include [[Superman]], [[Batman]] and [[Spider-man]]; [[Comic strip]], [[Little Nemo]] and [[Calvin and Hobbes]], plus [[Manga]], [[Robert Crumb]].. probably some more, including - rightly - Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Alan Moore (although not all of them have the banner, some seem to have "Category" links. And that page doesn't seem to be fully alphabetised..).
:Do we need a concerted effort to rate and rank other things? ([[Julius Schwartz]] is "high" to "top," for example; [[Martin Goodman (publisher)]] should be higher than "mid", etc., etc.) Plus, some don't seem to have been ranked at all... Indeed, I see from [[Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Comics_articles_by_quality_log|this log page]] that ''Flash'' and Neil Gaiman have been downgraded recently - any idea if that will have been an individual choice or a centralised decision..?

Just wondering... why have you catted this with "Dynamite Entertainment characters"? - [[User:J Greb|J Greb]] ([[User talk:J Greb|talk]]) 02:26, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

== I'd like your opinion as well. ==

(In most things, of course - grin - but this in particular at the moment.)

Please see [[User talk:jc37#Asking for an additional look over.|my talk page]].

I've read and re-read. I've compared timestamps of comments and edits. All-in-all, it's looking rather convincing that Phil was using his ability as an admin to edit a protected article to his own
preferred version as "just another editor", rather than as an aid to the discussion.

(Indeed, phil was/is inches away from a claim of "wheel-warring" - a term that I ''really'' don't like to see. I think admins ''should'' be able to revert each other, though rarely, and when they do, there should be a good reason. With "good" being subjective, of course.)

Anyway, thank you for your thoughts. - [[User:Jc37|jc37]] 06:47, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

I've protected the page after looking it over as you'd suggested. Please also see [[User talk:Phil Sandifer]] for more information. - [[User:Jc37|jc37]] 20:39, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

== Merlins ==

I might be a little confused but isnt that the same one that was in Die By The Sword... cus you know he had Fury inside him (which happened at the end of the mini-series)... after pulling it out it took the evil out of him with it and thats why he decided to help and look more like the olde Merlin? thats how i understood it. On that note i must continue to add the plot bit and do the Wisdom ones. --- [[User:Paulley|Paulley]] ([[User talk:Paulley|talk]]) 21:19, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
:lol, nothing in life is ever simple... yea i remember the "which me" bit when Roma asked her father to visit CB after he was resurrected the first time and i know its always been a gray area concerning Merlyn/Merlin but like i said though i think we have to mention that it is a version of Merlyn's (or his character) called Merlin who became dominant when Merlyn extracted the Fury (along with his madness) from within in himself.. that is what i thought Merlin in issue three explained it as... cus i just dont see any other way how this Merlin had a chuck of Fury inside himself. hmmm maybe its a question to ask Paul lol --- [[User:Paulley|Paulley]] ([[User talk:Paulley|talk]]) 22:32, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Ahh there goes my plan then :P ... also maybe you want to change this edit then an anon user recently made in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Merlyn_(Marvel_Comics)&diff=224988602&oldid=217626380 Merlyn (Marvel Comics)] --- [[User:Paulley|Paulley]] ([[User talk:Paulley|talk]]) 22:35, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

== Something at John Buscema ==

Could you do me a favor?

[[User:Scott Free]] added and external link to the Buscema article, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Buscema&oldid=226534504 here's the version].

The link is to an article on Buscema on NationMater.com. That site looks a lot like a Wiki knock-off. And the article itself looks a lot like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Scott_Free/Buscema_draft&diff=214722964&oldid=200003387 this].

I've already posted what I think are polite queries to Scott Free, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Scott_Free&diff=226536816&oldid=214723094 here], but I'd like a second set of level headed eyes on it before one of the more enthusiastic editors of the Buscema article see it.

Thanks,

- [[User:J Greb|J Greb]] ([[User talk:J Greb|talk]]) 23:10, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

:In fact, Scott Free reverted the Emperor edit. I restored it to Emperor's, and have commented about that particular mirror site at [[Talk:John Buscema]]. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 01:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

== More Moore ==

Thanks for the heads up (again). I think there's some ''Century'' notes that could be picked out, and - should there be a need for a separate page any time soon - possibly on ''Jerusalem''. Otherwise it's just another interesting interview, but with little new.. maybe there's a quote that could be dug out and emblazoned atop the ''The Wire'' page(!) (Or, if they have any sense, the DVDs...)

Looking forward to Mr Gibbons' ''Watchmen'' book (and the film trailer's interesting, too) - I wonder whether it's worth picking through the interview for any salient stuff, though, or waiting patiently for the book itself...? [[User:Ntnon|ntnon]] ([[User talk:Ntnon|talk]]) 02:47, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

:Having looked at what was there about [[Dave Gibbons|Mr Gibbons]] ''generally'', I've now added a fair bit of chronological information on his various major works. And tried to weave in some stuff from the interview to (although I noticed you'd already added the book itself, of course). [[User:Ntnon|ntnon]] ([[User talk:Ntnon|talk]]) 00:14, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

== Fair use rationale for Image:Shakara.jpg ==

[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|70px|left]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to [[:Image:Shakara.jpg]]. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found [[WP:FURG|here]].

Please go to [[:Image:Shakara.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. 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. 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 "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

IOM infobox[edit]

I've move the template to a live page - {{Infobox comics in other media}} and placed it on most of the IOM articles.

Carol Danvers Death?[edit]

I changed the text stating the death of the character, as it is more plausible to assume from the interview and from her addition to the New Avengers cast, that Carol will fake her death. Either way, we do not know for sure the state of her during dark reign, and the source interview is inconclusive. I changed the text to reflect what we know for sure.

More minor stuff-questions[edit]

1) Doom (film) has a character, Carmack, that people keep saying is named for a real person, a programmer for the Doom game. But since Carmack the fictional character is an evil man, I've been deleting the references. Am I right to do so? It's one thing to say 'Funky Flashman is based on Stan Lee's mannerisms' when Funky is a fictional slave trader but a name is a name.

No. The character in the movie is not intended as a reflection on id's John Carmack. If you look at names mentioned in the credits, Carmack actually isn't even the only "scientist" who was involved in the development of the original DOOM--he's just the one with the most recognizable name and the most screen time.
The names are there simply as a nod to the history of the story and its beginnings as a video game; they're just intended to elicit a knowing smile from the audience. Their presence has no biographical implications whatsoever, particularly not as reported on Wikipedia.
TLDR: Stop removing stuff like that.
