Batman

Just wanted to say thank you for some great edits, man. Good eye for places the article size can be cut down. Simnel 12:42, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! The layout to the Batman pages bugs the heck out of me, for some reason. Feels so .. claustrophobic. -- Ipstenu 20:27, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if I was a bit heavyhanded with your treatment of Batman's fey side. Now that I see where you are coming from I still think it was not a useful move but at least not a POV attack. I have no idea what inspired you to cut down the Batman article, but just as a cosmetic surgeon faced with a particularly ugly nose, it is generally a good idea to check with the patient before amputating. If the article seems unwieldy, perhaps a reordering would be in order? Anyway, seeing you play paper games, do you know the car racing simulation, from Scientific American, back in the late sixties, I think? Haiduc 13:15, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Superboy-Prime is alive

hey, what's up? look at the preview in IC #6 for the last issue. they mention a final showdown with superboy-prime. plus didio even said that he'll be around after crisis at newsarama.com

Link Removal

Thank you for going ahead and cleaning up the retcon punch links. You saved me a lot of time there. And thanks for all your contributions. I've seen your name here and there. --DoctorWorm7 20:02, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

No prob :) -- Ipstenu 20:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

IPB

You keep on deleting my link Invision Fuse from Invision Power Board article, do you have a reason for this? There was a big discussion in the discussion page regarding links, I do not see the reason for you to repeatedly delete my link, it's a resource for IPB and widely used and respected. --143.238.106.149 23:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

It's also a pay for site. external Links guidelines suggest that links to sites which sell products or services should be avoided. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 23:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

"Sites that primarily exist to sell products or services." My site does not primarily exist to sell products or service, but rather a small part of my site to maintain hosting costs. And a majority of my site is open and available to the public, with small restricted bits that require simple registration. If you will be using external Links in our discussion I suggest you read it. Since I first added my site, it's been removed several times, I don't understand why!` --143.238.106.149 23:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Well the commented section under links also says 'Please don't add any more resource links to this list! if you want to, discuss it in the talk page', speaking of reading. Finally, if InvisionFuse is your site, you shouldn't be adding it at all. That's just standard practice, and I'm blanking on where this is stated right now. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 23:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Well I can tell you it has already been discussed, I didn't put Invision Fuse up there for free advertising but rather to offer as many free and public resources to the IPB community as I can. And I very much doubt that if someone else added it, you would leave it up there. The whole wiki idea is a very good one, just some of the wiki users, who only believe in an open article if they can control as much of the aspects of it as possible. Either you have something personal against me or the site Invision Fuse? But I can't see any reason why the inclusion of Invision Fuse is a problem.--143.238.106.149 03:01, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I really don't have an opinion save IPB's page is on my watch-list, I saw a site added without discussion on the talk page, and I removed it. Feel free to bring it up on the talk page there. I don't think you, or anyone else, is putting it up as free advertisement, but when something says 'please talk' and you don't... well, it doesn't look good, now does it? -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 11:14, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

There was discussion regarding it on the talk page under "Links?". There was some discussion regarding unofficial links and links that follow the guidelines. Then I restructured the page using vBulletin page as a template.--60.228.128.197 05:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks good! Thanks :) (FYI, look for the section on IPB's talk page labeled 'InvisionFuse' for the recent chat) -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 13:23, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Animated Barbara Gordon/Oracle

Ipstenu, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't keep erasing my info an Oracle's planned appearance in Justice League Unlimited. The only reason I probably found the site before you is because I'm a regular visitor on Toonzone/World's Finest, and due to my heavy spare time I happen to come upon info that's more obscure or overlooked.

Above comment was made by 71.115.212.229 2006-05-08 21:44:05

I didn't erase it this last time, since you so kindly cited your source (which I couldn't find and said so... in the summary, it's a good idea to read those, FYI). I cleaned it up. Said so in the summary. -- Ipstenu 11:25, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Jason Todd

About your most recent edit, the reason I used the words I did there is that there is some contention about what exactly happened in that grave, which is what promptred me to edit that section in the first place. See, some people think that Superboy-Prime resurrected Jason Todd, partially regenerating his flesh, but the comic explicitly states that he is altering reality, not resurrecting. He basically just flipped a 1/0 switch that now says Jason Todd survived the beating from the Joker, and that's why he's again suffering from the wounds as if he has just received them. He doesn't flash back to dying; he flashes back to a page of art that was to be used in the Death in the Family storyline had the votes gone the other way, in which Batman has to carry him because he is so badly beaten. It's a bit of a semantic thing, the difference between returning life to a dead body and replacing a dead Jason with a live one; however, to Jason Todd, he never died, doesn't remember dying, only knows that Batman thought he died, and therefore is angry that Batman didn't avenge him. The anomaly is localized on Jason; while everyone knows he died, this Jason Todd had instead survived. Like I said, it's a fine line, but it's actually a big difference, and that's why that was the most neutral way I could write it, while actually describing what's on the page more accurately. --Chris Griswold 14:15, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and the narrative is also not clear on whether "how things should be" is a universal truth or an opion of Superboy's, as noted in my text. Did you see he just undid your work? Would you be interested in mediating? He has done a lot of work on this article and seems to be very protective of i, but that means he won't let anyone make any changes he feels are too big or different from what he thinks. For instance, not allowing for the ambiguit of the issue's events and narrative. --Chris Griswold 15:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Oy. IMO, Todd was 'resurrected' since he remembers everything and is pissed about the whole dead business. If he hadn't died, why would he be upset? But .. whatever. SB-P is a fucktard ;) And yeah, Cheesenw is being a little too heavy handed. Let gooooo. -- Ipstenu 15:57, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

re: Batwoman

Sorry about that. I keep forgetting to refresh my watchlist to incorporate edits since I first signed in. CovenantD 16:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

No is problem :) -- Ipstenu 16:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the note about the SHB for Batwoman. I'll have to remember that one. CovenantD 19:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

re: Nightwing and Shiva

Thanks for signing my post the other day. I'll have to be more careful about that. And sorry if I helped to reopen a tin of worms. I was hoping to defuse the matter in a post or two, but it looks like I might've made things worse. Lastly, thanks for all your work on the Dick Grayson and Batman pages. I try to keep an eye on all the pages in the DC Martial Artists category, but I know those ones are good hands. D1Puck1T 05:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

No ay problema :) Honestly I see where Nightwing99 is coming from, but the boy makes me want to go get the lead lined hose. He just doesn't GET that the big picture has Nightwing as a pretty awesome detective and martial artist, but he's no where NEAR Shiva calibar, and certainly not the detective that Elongated Man is. Bleah. Sometimes we have to accept our heros aren't the shizniz. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 13:28, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

al Ghul in the bathtub (Jason Todd)

I don't have as much of a problem with the mention Ra's being in the LazPit as the flowery "Ra's himself" stuff that Cheesenw wants there. It may be important, it may not be, but it isn't currently. My feeling (developed by my weekly condensing oft he 52 storyline) is that if it proves to be important later, we can add it again. Besides, DC is playing fast and loose with the Lazarus Pit rules. Ghul's daughter Nissa can re-use them, and the one at the end of Batgirl is used by three different people in quick succession. However, if this sort of thing keeps phrases like "takes possession of him" and "bestows upon him a kiss", then I'm cool with it. --Chris Griswold 19:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

'Inner Deamons'

Hilarious. --Chris Griswold 19:53, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Stop letting the Joker out, Batman! O_o D1Puck1T 05:47, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

encyclopediotic

Isn't it "encyclopedic"? Is this an american word?? - I should buy an oxford dictionary... sorry, i know this is pedantic, but really? "encyclopediotic"? You've just mixed "encyclopedic" with "idiotic" right? Was that deliberate, cos its rather ironic considering i can't find the word in a dictionary...? — ChocolateRoses ^talk

A pun actually :) Melting words. It's 'encyclopedic' and I do know that. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 23:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

(It's a portmanteau.) --Chris Griswold 05:14, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

yo, homie

pleeze don't take it personal, houlmez (batsuit). just tryin to keap it reel. i still think you deserve madd propz on all the good edits you do. --74.238.7.182 19:07, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
