I reinserted it because it seems to be the heart of the premise of the comic. In light of that, it seems to me that it has to go into the lead of the article. I mean, it's what the comic's about - the return of E2 Superman. Snowspinner 23:48, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Someone can deal - we're an encyclopedia. Someone who doesn't want to know about Infinite Crisis shouldn't look it up in an encyclopedia. Snowspinner 00:02, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Secret Six

[edit]

Forgive me, but I accidently hit "enter" before I could provide any reasoning. That being information on a yet-to-be-released comic book and Person X states... wasn't too attractive. I don't care much about the article, either way; feel free to keep it as is. ' (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 03:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for edit summary

[edit]

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 46% for major edits and 73% for minor edits. (Based on the last 103 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 06:00, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alphabetizing categories

No roman numerals

[edit]

You'd reverted an edit I'd made to the Blue Beetle infoboxes, stating that Wikiproject:Comics preferred not to use roman numerals to distinguish various incarnations of the same character (like BB, or Flash, or GL). You pointed (rather broadly) to the archived talk pages, but I couldn't find the discussion where this was decided. Why have we decided not to showcase which version each person is in the infobox?

The Question

[edit]

we have decided that the Question does not deserve to be on the list of 'best fighters' If you disagree, then go to the Lady Shiva discussion page. But im tired of reverting the Connor Hawk page. Thank you. darkestknight

IC Characters Who Disappeared

[edit]

If you'll check the history, I'm not the only person who deleted those names. A lot of characters whose whereabouts were briefly unknown at various times have not been included on those lists. If some people can say we count Pariah as dead because Johns said in an interview outside the comic that the guy is dead even though his death has never been confirmed in the comic, by gosh we can use a shred of common sense and leave those characters off the presumed dead list when we know darn well they're alive a year later. (On the other hand, if we don't quickly learn their whereabouts (i.e., in #7), we'd have to note that they're missing at the end of the series.) Wryspy 07:25, 15 April 2006 (UTC) P.S. And it's not clear exactly how many of them disappeared, regardless of the "ALL" remark. That could mean ALL of the ones who disappeared, not all of Donna's Crew. It was a character's reflexive remark, which we have no reason to consider an accurate assessment.[reply]

Okay, you're right that those mentioned as missing in Titans are definitely 100% missing. As for the editorial remark things: EDITORS LIE. At one point, to keep readers wondering, DC said Infinite Crisis would have nothing to do with Crisis on Infinite Earths. Wryspy 23:37, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, wait a minute. Are we supposed to draw from our One Year Later knowledge or not? If so, it's fair to specify that certain characters are missing because we already know that. HOWEVER, we know that some of them aren't. I know from Hawkgirl that she has not been missing for the last year. Also: I think the debate would be greatly eased if those who read an issue which confirmed someone had remained missing would so note that as was done in the case of Tempest. Seeing how people have gone back and forth on these issues, I apologize for contributing to the editing war on the matter. The fact that so many people keep changing the list does show that we need to find a middle ground. Simply tagging on the word debatable hasn't quite done it. Stating which disappearances have been confirmed would certainly help. I can't do that myself because I haven't read that issue of Titans yet. Wryspy 00:10, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heggie's Page

[edit]

Yay! I entered something for my user page! I figure that now that I've laid that foundation, contributions from you in the form of open vandalism might enlarge it to a respectable size. While you're there, check out the user page of the only person who has contributed to my talk page. Specifically, check out his picture, followed by all of his userboxes. It's Richard from the future! H3G3M0N 13:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MIA?

So have you disappeared altogether? Or is this just one really long wikibreak -- Wryspy 20:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ursula.png)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Ursula.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:Kingofthecage.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Kingofthecage.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 non-free media 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. Muchness (talk) 13:04, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The following images you uploaded are also missing fair use rationales: Image:Braveconedog.jpg, Image:Lazysunday.jpg. --Muchness (talk) 13:15, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

[edit]

Hello Rocketgoat! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person.

Adrianne Wadewitz Memorial edit-a-thons

[edit]
Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
