Is there any objection to adding this imprint to the [[Marvel_Comics#Imprints|list]]? Several comics where printed under it, including [[Ren & Stimpy]] and [[Earthworm Jim]]. While we're at it, how does everyone feel about an article? -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] 05:58, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

    Carnage (comics)

    Speculation is continually added to this page about a possible movie role. If someone could keep an eye on it (as I haven't seen S3 yet so I don't want to get anymore spoiled) and revert any "Some fans believe Carnage..." or so forth I'd appreciate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CyberGhostface (talk • contribs) 00:33, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Comics articles wanted

    This is a list of (significant) comics-related articles that do not exist yet.

    If an article does not exist yet: list it here. Please try to list it in the appropriate section, in rough descending order of importance.

    If an article exists but it's stubby or needs a lot of work:

    Feel free to create any of the articles below, and then strike it out on this list with <s> and </s>, like so. If you like, you can leave a comment describing what you did. If you simply create a stub, please put {{comics-stub}} somewhere in your new article.

    Shi problems

    On Shi (comic book) an editor keeps removing the formatting. I have reverted twice and left a number of message on their talk page as I've reached the edge of 3R (they may have stepped over). Can someone else take a look? (Emperor 01:36, 13 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

    FYI: Discussion on editng the page over on the users talk page: User talk:Sllamky01. (Emperor 01:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]
    I reverted back to your last edit and also left a note on the article's talk page. I was careful not to bite as this editor is obviously a newcomer. Hopefully, now that you have made them aware of 3RR, they will take a pause. We should also keep an eye on William Tucci. --GentlemanGhost 02:01, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes I have tried make it clear things get more complicated when you hit 3 reverts, without getting too bitey (I hope). Hopefully that should fix the issue because it is, after all, an awfully minor, and easily fixed, issue (and not the first time I've run into this kind of "blank slate" approach) and the editor does seem to have good quality information to add. I'll just have to take a bit more of a backseat on this from here on. Also I have reverted William Tucci once to add the links and formatting back. (Emperor 02:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]
    I've had a bit of a chatwith them (as they were emailing me the verion on their talk page is only one side of the conversation - hope it make sense) and it should be easy enough to sort things out. One thig though is that Tucci objects to it being classed as Bad girl art but it is a leading example on that entry and I suspect removing the mention would be getting into NPOV issues. (Emperor 03:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]
    Well, the bad girl art article looks like it could use some work, anyhow. Much of it is unsourced and thus appears to be original research. Are there any reliable sources which point to Shi as an example of this trend? If so, Tucci may be out of luck. That doesn't mean the "bad girl art" label has to end up on the Shi page or the William Tucci age. If someone does put it in, it should be properly sourced as it is controversial, as evidenced by the fact that we are having this discussion. :) And, if we can find a reliable source to quote (instead of the email messages), we can always mention that Tucci rejects this label. --GentlemanGhost 04:26, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes it does need work - at the moment it seems to have good references but (like some other entries I have seen) it is unclear what parts of the entry they are supporting pushing it into OR territory but it should be easy enough to tighten things up. Shi does get included with the others though [e.g. http://www.badgirl-comics.com/] and I even found an acandemic study (from The Liberbal Arts University in Hong Kong) saying "Another variation of the aforementioned bad girl comic in connection with Japan is Shi by Bill Tucci. ... Shi’s mixture of violence and eroticism with a Far Eastern touch has made her into one of the most popular independent comics in recent years. " Word doc, see also this from Buffalo University. Tucci does seem to reject the term - from the start of the Dark Horse trade: "They said she was a bad girl. They said she was a fad. They said she'd never last. They'll say anything, won't they?" [1]. It should be possible to use the two quotes I give to at least give a balanced view of things. The... bottom line though is that if you give your scantily-clad, ass-kicking female lead a thong that seems to be made from dental floss and you make a fortune selling merchandise often featuring that character in scantily clad/tasteful nude poses (see for example that illustration accompanying the denial it is a bad girl comic), then you probably can't complain later on that most people include her in the general bad girl sub-genre. She may be a better class of bad girl but a bad girl nonetheless. (Emperor 15:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

    I just noticed, there's a Shi (comic book) article and a Shi (comics) article. *slaps forehead* I guess a merge/redirect is in order. --GentlemanGhost 04:43, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Good find. I'd suggest we aim for the final entry to be largely based on (comic book) but at (comics) (I suspect there are some graphic novels as well as comic books and trades and the latter is more general). (Emperor 16:59, 15 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

    Merging Alternate versions

    With what's being said about many of these articles on the Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Comics/Notice_Board#Merging_Alternate_Characters (which I didn't know existed until about a week ago ha!) I just don't really agree, especially since it's only the Marvel characters being hit. I do see where the "merger person" is coming from but with some of the articles the merge will be unnessary. Yes, merging alternate characters into the mainstream's profile because the wikipedia isn't a fansite blah blah blah, but some alternate are notable enough to have their own article. Really i know that merge will win but in all fairness, shouldn't DC characters be merged as well? Why is X-Man excluded? Technically clones of characters should be merged as well like Superboy Prime and Ben Reilly? I just needed to moan. RIANZ 00:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I could not agree with you more, RIANZ. That said, "good luck" in getting the sort of consistency your are seeking. Rather than consistent application of rules, at least it seems indicative on this project that popular opinion is the order of the day in many cases. Netkinetic (t/c/@) 01:29, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Point out some DC articles, then. I think, for the most part, the 'elseworlds' DC stuff has been merged. Superboy-Prime would fall under 'notable' since he was pretty much the 'star' of a lot of the latest crisis ballywho, and is currently to blame for all retcons. Superman from Earth-1, similar reasons If there are some that need merging, please propose. (and Ben Reilly I think is notable enough to stand on his own legs, since it was a big deal at the time and affected a lot about Spidey). Marvel is slightly more insane with the multiple character versions and stories, but that's a YMMV thought. -- Ipstenu (talk • contribs) 01:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    And 2¢... and maybe a chunk more...
    The DC characters went through this in there way about 6 or so months ago with a spate of of "(Earth-μ)" articles being created, and mostly folded back into parent articles. That doesn't make this look any less odd, but it isn't something that happens "only to one company."
    That being said, it is possible that the editor that collected the merge noms is a Marvel-phile, making those the articles s/he's likely to look at and care about. And yes, I realize that means the editor is a Marvel-phile that does not support a "one article for each character" stance.
    It does though fit general editing patterns, most of us look at specific subjects that we care about. Hopefully we are consistent in our editing to those articles, but we are unlikely to pick a format, guideline, or policy issue and scour all articles to fix it. And suggesting that all the "alt character/team/item" article be found and mass nomed is akin to that. You do that with employees, not volunteers. Volunteers work at their own pace and on what the like. Hopefully that winds up with the end product being consistent, even if it takes longer.
    And paraphrasing myself: There are three separate issues I'm looking at with the particular batch of articles listed there:
    1. Major, notable subjects with enough weight to merit an article. These include: Hyperion (Supreme Power); Nighthawk (Supreme Power); Squadron Supreme (Supreme Power); and Morph. These shouldn't be merged back into the parents. (Also to repeat myself, I nomed the SP trio due to edits and article moves that looked like boldly merge them.)
    2. Minor, notable subjects that should be retained in the parent article. These include: Ultimate Thor; Mahr Vehl; and Sunfire (Exiles). This is a variation of the WP:FICTION suggestions for minor characters. Yes, the Ultimate Thor and Mahr Vehl are focal characters,but they have had minor use at this point. Right now they can be served as a section of the article for the parent character. If the alt character gains weight, as with the Supreme Power characters, or the parent is an excessively large file, then the alt should be looked at for splitting off.
    3. Minor, not-so-notable subjects. This includes: Widget; Changeling (Marvel Comics); and the Mutant X cast. To be honest, these are more notable for the books they are associated with than anything else, hence the suggest based on WP:FICTION to merge, with see also links from the parent character article, Widget into an "Excalibur supporting characters" article, the Mutant X characters into Mutant X (comics), and, looking at it now, Changeling into "Minor X-Men characters" (or "foes" depending on how it's handled).
    Similar situation can be illustrated in DC articles: #1 examples being Kal-L, Barry Allen (Flash), and Atom (Al Pratt); #2 examples being Ryan Choi (on the Atom article), Harlequin (comics), and Doll Man; and #3 examples being the Green Lantern Corps (List of Green Lanterns). - J Greb 04:59, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I concur with J Greb's suggestions. WesleyDodds 23:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Maqita

    I voiced some concerns about this on the talk page but nothing much came of it. I have proposed a better solution might be moving it to a more general "Indonesian comics" entry: Talk:Maqita#Term.3F I obviously need some input on that but also I see they are known as "komiks" but we already have an entry komiks on Filipino comics. So it suggests to me we may also need to consider moving that to "Filipino comics" or even "Filipino komiks" (and using komiks as a disambiguation page - there is also Komiks (TV series). The Czech word for comics may also be komiks [2]) - if the latter perhaps we need "Indonesian komiks"? So although a smaller issue there are slightly broader questions raised about the naming of entries. We have manga, manhua and manhwa on the assumption that "manga" == "Japanese comics" (ditto for Chinese and Korean), which doesn't seem unreasonable (note maqita is a more recent word just for Indonesian manga), but they are fairly widespread words used in English but I'd not want to push that precedent too far. So I'd suggest the better terms are "Indonesian comics" and "Filipino comics" but I wanted to check before setting the wheels in motion. Thoughts? (Emperor 17:14, 15 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

    Ran across something odd...

    ...and I'm not sure what Wiki's policy on it is.

    Specifically it's Titans of Justice. Looking at it, it's a recently created (June 3) article dedicated to a fanfic hosted at www.clik.to/JLU.

    My gut reaction is that it doesn't hit the "notability" threshold, and that it may just be a "hey look at this sort-of-MUSH" article.

    Has anyone else run across anything like this? And is this something that there are over-all guidelines related to?

    Thanks - J Greb 08:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • My gut reaction matches yours: It doesn't meet the notability threshold. I'm for putting it up for AfD. Everything I've ever seen along these lines has gotten deleted. Doczilla 08:42, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree it's AFDworthy. Until WP:RS are shown, there's no basis for an article. Murghdisc. 09:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Some of the wording is weird: "Titans of Justice is a running fanfiction on www.clik.to/JLU" and "Publisher www.clik.to/JLU". This seems designed to make it sound more impressive than it is. clik.to is a URL shortening service and those phrases mean diddly. The link resolves to some free hosting: http://metrotower.bravejournal.com/index.php which is in fact a blog. I can't even find a mention of Titans of Justice on their main page. The list of episodes link from the entry goes to a message board which requires you to be logged in. Sooooo basically this not only has massive notability concerns but as the only sources are blogs and forums it also violates WP:EL. AfD it. (Emperor 13:29, 16 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]
    Just a note to say this has been AfDed. (Emperor 13:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

    Jason Todd

    I've just finished a major revamp of Jason Todd (diff here) and I was wondering if anyone could track down any of the major news articles that reported on the character's death in 1988. The back of the A Death in the Family trade lists quotes from Time, Newsweek, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and The Boston Rock. I would also like to request someone help fill out the issue citations a la the "Cite Comics" template so they list writers, authors, and dates of publication. Thanks. WesleyDodds 10:59, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Cerebro's X-Men

    Is this worth an article? A one time team (for an issue or so, I'm not completely sure). A mention of them on villain lists seems like the best route to go. RobJ1981 19:21, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Also there is Assembly of Evil. I'm no expert of Acts of Vengeance, but if the team was only around for that...it's not that noteworthy for an article of it's own. RobJ1981 19:23, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Anyone have any thoughts on these articles? RobJ1981 11:00, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I think it just barely hits the max of what's 'enough' information for an article. Notability may be in question though. There's enough info for a decent sized entry on a villain list page. Which page were you thinking of putting them on? -- Ipstenu (talk • contribs) 13:50, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Assembly of Evil should be on the Acts of Vengeance page (if it isn't already, I havent checked the article as of yet). Otherwise put Assembly on some other villian list (not sure which though). Cerebro's X-Men should be on an X-Men villains list of some sort, if one exists? RobJ1981 02:41, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Superheroes by race

    The discussion on the Category:Superheroes by race and its subcats closed with no consensus [3] but I am concerned about the area. My digging around the policies following my initial comments there and brought up this: Overcategorization by ethnicity:

    "Dedicated group-subject subcategories, such as Category:LGBT writers or Category:African American musicians, should only be created where that combination is itself recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right. You should be able to write a substantial and encyclopedic head article (not just a list) for the category."

    So the sub cats fundamentally fail the guidelines. Given issues involing retconning and the problems of assigning race to fictional characters (especially in comics where it might be implied visually not stated outright). I'm not sure what needs doing but something has to be done. Whether that is kicking it around here and reaching some kind of consensus or working the entries up from lists to full articles. If it just goes up for deletion/renaming/listifying without something being done then I suspect it will come down to no consensus again but without addressing the guideline violations it should really go back. Thoughts? (Emperor 20:35, 17 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

    Tabitha Smith

    I'm kinda already expecting this to devolve into conflict, so I'd like you guys to look in at Tabitha Smith and Talk: Tabitha Smith. User:Amsterdamx is pretty much ignoring guidelines in favour of a more fansite style of writing. If you guys could step in and give your opinions, that'd be great. Kusonaga 16:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Just a couple of off-the-cuff observations:
    • As per Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/copyright#Resolution the images should have a resolution of no greater than 72ppi. General usage has the "...generally be no larger than the size the image will be displayed in an article..." read as 300px across, tops, even though the largest a spot image is going to be is between 150 and 250 (infobox). This does mean that some of the images are going to look "crappy", but it also keeps them with in the FUR guides.
    • As per Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/editorial guidelines#Superhero box images neither image really measures up, though Amsterdamx's is closer. If you want a laundry list comparison, I'll post it on the article's talk.
    - J Greb 17:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, I'd prefer some comments on the talk page itself. The image isn't really the biggest problem. Kusonaga 17:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Side note

    Looking into this I found something that is a bit worrying... well more than a bit. The image Boomboomblog.jpg is sitting in commons space with a {{Copyrighted free use}} tag and nothing else.

    I find this very suspect since the image is an internal panel and I would think that there would need to be something, a link or verbiage, laying out that Marvel actually signed off on this.

    - J Greb 19:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Am I to understand that the Wikipedia Comic Project guidelines for images are stated in terms of Pixels Per Inch? If an image were taken from a movie poster, or from a postage stamp, at 72ppi, it would be way outside the limits of what most people would consider worthwhile on a web site. Maybe this specification should be reviewed.--Drvanthorp 02:23, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    72ppi is the default resolution of the image as the show in the articles. So, in realistic terms, having an image at 150ppi, 300ppi, or greater is pointless.
    Also, at 72ppi, a 300px wide image would be just over 4" across.
    Beyond that, it is part of what underpins the FURs. Keep in mind that, for the most part, the images we are dealing with are owned by another parties. What we use cannot be of a high enough quality to be useful in circumventing the owners' ability to use the images.
    Even with that, there are provision for exceptions. The notable ones being landscape layouts, where the height is looked at instead of the width in some cases, and integral text in the image. In the latter, if the text is, or could be, important in where the image is to be used, it can be argued that the image should be large enough for the text to still be legible. - J Greb 06:22, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Multiple characters exemplar

    I'm interested on working on an article about a comics character with multiple secret identities in order to bring it to at least GA status, which would also serve as an exemplar for the structure of similar multiple-incarnation character articles. I'm thinking either Robin (comics) or Flash (comics) (although I'm leaning towards the Flash because there are far more sources available on Robin, meaning GA or FA-level version of that would have a lot of material that would not be available for less-notable characters). Anyone interested in helping out? WesleyDodds 07:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I think you're leaning in the right direction. The Flash article is the better article for something like this. Doczilla 07:28, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Things we shouldn't ask here like who's going to Comic-Con

    Now, this is not a forum, a chatroom, a social scene, or any such thing. This is where we talk about work for WikiProject Comics. This talk page shouldn't get cluttered with people asking, several times throughout the year, things like, "Hey, are any of you gonna be at that comic book convention in (fill in the place) next month?" And yet, information like that could be helpful. It might be useful for some WPC contributors to meet each other in person. So suppose I'm attending Comic-Con International in San Diego next month as an academic professional presenting a paper at Comic-Con's Comic Arts Conference. Just suppose. What would be the best way to find out if other WPC contributors will be there? Doczilla 07:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • If there was a way of finding that out, people like myself who can't go would probably want to ask such people if they could take a camera. Then they might be able to get pictures of people and release them under a Wikipedia compatible license. That would be a good thing. I would think that given there is some benefit to the project and wikipedia, it might be worthwhile posting such stuff here. If it ever gets to the point where it swamps the board, we could set up a subpage for meet-ups, either here or at [[Wikipedia:Meetup]. Steve block Talk 12:14, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    If it's done in a structured fashion - then I can see great benefit for people organising to get together at comic conferences - obviously you are not going to spend all of your time talking wikipedia but what an opportunity to get some pictures of people (as mentioned above) for articles and the like. In addition, there is nothing like a face to face meeting to foster idea generation for articles and improving our work here. --Fredrick day 12:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes I could see a definite use - a want list of creator photos for starters. "Hi I'm the official representative of the Wikipedia Comics Project can I immortalise you?" After all it is the ideal way to get photos we can use here and a lot of entries need a photo. Seems to have plenty of pluses. And Doczilla how hypothetical was your question? If the answer is "not very" then what is the paper on? (Emperor 12:29, 20 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]
    Well, since the answer is "not hypothetical at all," answering would mean surrendering my in-Wikipedia anonymity because the list of papers being presented will appear online eventually. (Thanks for asking, though.) Obviously I'd surrender it in person. If any of you are going, I would like to meet you, even if it's just for a brief hello. I'm just not 100% sure about pinning myself down in writing here on the Internet, though. I don't like the idea of some spiteful monkey (that's not you folks, of course) bugging me through my university e-mail. Of course, it also occurs to me that if you ever see the list of papers, quite a number of you could easily deduce which paper's mine anyway. You know what? I'd get a kick out of that, actually. Honestly, I'd kind of like for somebody to know. Anyway, if anyone's going, please mention it here or on my talk page. The e-mail address listed in my user information isn't one I check very often.Doczilla 08:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    OK I'll get my Deerstalker on ;) (Emperor 13:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]
    To address Steve Block's question, oh yeah, I'll have a camera. I guess it's time I took more interest in working with our images. Out of however many edits I've made around here, I've never added a single picture. Doczilla 08:29, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps if we had a list of comics creators who needed a picture people could print it off and carry it with them on the off chance? (Emperor 13:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

    Hercules help needed

    Could some of you peek at Hercules (Marvel Comics) today? An anonymous user whose previous edits each appear to have been vandalism insists on changing Hercules from a god to a demigod even though Marvel Comics primarily calls him a demigod. Since I undid anon's edit first, even though I wasn't reverting to a version I'd written myself, I started the reverts and I've quickly had three this morning. Thanks.

    I've put the page on watch. I think you have your wording the wrong way round above though as they have been changing it from demigod to god and, as you rightly point out he is classed as a demigod. (Emperor 14:09, 22 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]
    Yep, you're right. I thought it right, but typed it backward. Doczilla 02:36, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Fangoria Comics

    This got speedily deleted and I think it is worthy getting it back up and running but I want to make sure we have the notability angle fully covered so I have started assmbling material here that should help. If you run across anything (or have any other ideas or input) then drop a note in. (Emperor 19:58, 22 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

    Marvel Absurd

    Is there any objection to adding this imprint to the list? Several comics where printed under it, including Ren & Stimpy and Earthworm Jim. While we're at it, how does everyone feel about an article? -- Jelly Soup 05:58, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    WikiProject redirect

    I've noticed you guys had a redirect at WikiProject Comics. I'm willing to work with you guys and others to get your redirect, my redirect and all the other redirects back as they should. Kingjeff 15:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
