Reversion

Hey I think the thing is we are both pedantic about the real name in the intros. I'm anally retentive so I'm matching as much of the Marvel articles as I can since the majority go [codename] ([real name]) and you i think prefer the [codename] (real name: [real name]). It's a preference thing (I prefer the codename (realname) and you prefer the other way) so what should we do about it since when I change the articles eventually you will change them back and so on and so on until possibly I break the wikipedia in half :-p RIANZ 22:30, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh I hope I made sense. Usually I don't and ramble incoherently. RIANZ 22:31, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I do agree with you to a point but I don't think you and I will agree on this :-p. The reason I do it the way I do is simply because it's more "eye appealing", a majority of the articles (including fictional characters outside the Marvel U) are like the way I change it to. I do make allowances though, like Luke Cage. I'm just more anally retentive that's all. Though I think we're both in the right and don't think the other contribs would take part in a discussion about which one should be used or whether or not I should bitch to make you stop since you're not in the wrong. It's just we will end up both tailing each other over the next few months as I go along and change History and Biography to Fictional character biography and putting in the citations then loop back around and check on the ones that may get changed back and then reverse your intro change etc. But yes your reasoning isn't wrong. It's sound. So is mine :-p. So what to do? RIANZ 01:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

• sigh* Looks like it will be up to us to decide which way to go since we are indeed both right. Though had no idea what the first response meant but hey :-p RIANZ 18:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

"I deem it so and it shall be done" :-p Hehe. That's ok mate... though makes me seem like I'm a former Catholic Schoolteacher or Spoilt Heiress. But at least this is much more amicable than what I've seen on this site with other disputes. I was wondering though did you used to update just the Marvel character articles or all comic character articles because I only do the Marvel/Ultraverse/Amalgam/Wildstorm characters. Also, does this mean I "don't touch" the articles you've already done? I'm all confuddled since I really can't be bothered thinking right now. :-p

Ahh gotcha. I didn't see the boldness of the brackets. I seriously think that I need my contacts check. But yeah that is doable. DC Comics is all yours though. Edit as you wish ;D RIANZ 23:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Request for Comment

There's been a Request for Comment initiated at Talk:John Buscema#Request for Comment: NPOV and images, concerning a dispute over alleged violations and which includes links to two versions of an article, for comparison.

You're a regular and diligent contributor to WikiProject Comics, and so might be a knowledgeable and disinterested party who could add an informed opinion. --Tenebrae 18:01, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Digger (comics)

Actually, when editing that article I don't recall removing any information from it - just moving it around. The paragraph that was under "fictional character biography" didn't really fit there as well as it did under "publication history", so that's where I moved it to. Still, I like the way Tenebrae handled it better than both the previous version and my revision, so I have no complaints.  :) 24.136.11.242 06:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Stephen! Always good to see you! -- Tenebrae 05:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

AfD

List of Marvel Comics endearments has been nominated — unfortunately, I believe — for deletion. If you wouldn't mind taking a look at the article and adding a comment, pro or con, at its "Articles for Deletion" discussion, then the article can at least be assured of a fair and knowledgeable hearing by editors familiar with the context. Thanks --Tenebrae 05:15, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Arrowsmith1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Arrowsmith1.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.

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 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. (ESkog)^(Talk) 20:47, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:AvataarsCOTS1.jpg

I have tagged Image:AvataarsCOTS1.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:SquadronS12ILSnum1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:SquadronS12ILSnum1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 14:31, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

New request for adminship

Hi, Stephen! I've been nominated by a fellow editor — from out the blue, believe me — to be an admin. That's a lot of work and responsibility; I was asked to do it once before, and didn't think I was either ready or needed. But User:Steve block and User:ChrisGriswold, who came out of WikiProject Comics and know the nuances of comics, are on indefinite hiatus, and someone who knows comics, the basis of some of the biggest things in pop culture, should be an admin. Some of my Comics Project peers are also qualified, and if they were to step up, I would step down from this nomination. But we need a comics-knowledgeable admin in any event. If you'd like to enter the discussion either way, you can go to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Tenebrae2. Thanks so much,-- Tenebrae 16:43, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
