==Other Mary Janes in literature==

In Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, there is a major character named Jane Mary, who is described as a hideous redhead and was probably not Stan Lee's inspiration for the comic book character.

Mary Jane is the title character of Mary Jane and Mary Jane 2, both novels by Judith O'Brien.

these had nothing to do with mary jane watson.

The two books by Judith O'Brien are by Marvel and even feature Spider-Man! --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 10:24, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed so. To the anonymous user: check your facts before removing information. —Lowellian (reply) 15:32, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute or no?

What's with the disputed section? How come there is no discussion? Has the dispute been resolved? Should I remove the dipsuted section warning? --Lenehey 18:06, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I came here because I noticed the dispute tag on the community page. I'd say the tone of the section needs some serious rewrites. Saying that the editors were out to get the character and such is a little bit much - stick to saying what happened in the stories, and not theorizing on the reasons unless references can be made to interviews.

There's a contradiction on MJ's first appearance (which I noticed because it's what I came to check. Was it Amazing Spideman #47 (cited first) or #42??? -bradydale@thistoowillpass.com

Ultimate "Mary"

Call me stupid, but I kind of want to point out how in the early issues of Ultimate Spider-Man, there seemed to be a tendency for Mary Jane to be called "Mary", rather than "MJ"... pointless trivia really... but... gah, whatever. (195.92.168.170 02:21, 2 April 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Basketball Vandalism

Removed the many inserted references to MJ's "Mad Skillz" in the arts of Basketball... I'll start reporting if it happens again, but it did make me laugh. Check the page history. (195.92.168.174 11:46, 5 April 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Skills and equipment

I think there should be a short section on MJ's defensive skills and equipment. Eg, she's trained in self defence, was recently training with Captain America, has fended off normal attackers and the Chameleon, owns a gun, has a amplified spider-tracer, and has Peter's old web-shooters (modified into bracelets). (But as far as I know she's not particularly good at basketball. Anyway...) Thoughts? - HKMARKS 04:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added this section as there were no arguments. I'm not sure, but does anyone know who else trained her? I could have sworn Flash Thompson did. Or maybe she just took a class... - HKMARKS 05:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Biography

I just did a big rewrite of the Biography section to remove NPOV statements, and provide more biographical information. I might add some of those statements back to the "Controversy" section later if they prove to be relevant and sourced when I look at them more carefully. Then again, maybe not. - HKMARKS 07:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
