[edit] Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight

As a member of WikiProject Comics, I thought you might be interested in the Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight we have set up. Please feel free to vote on the articles listed, although bear in mind that a vote for a particular article means you are pledging to help improve the article. The goal of the collaboration is to improve articles to Featured Article status, as we feel Comics is under-represented in that area. Thanks for your help.

[edit] reply to johnte price ?

In fact that edit was by somebody else, I only moved it there as it wasn't in a alphabetical order and even though I do not know who he is either and I do not live in the US, As result I have left a [citation needed] mark there. Willirennen 12.00 23 November 2006

[edit] Stefan Marinov

I replied to your request at Talk:Stefan_Marinov. When you cite references, you may want to include the information as I have it on Marinov's talk page.-- Jreferee 20:21, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 2 December 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Stefan Marinov, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] The Viscount

Note that the 1987 comments by the viscount are not relevant to the article on his Puzzle. Please do not add them again. They may be verifiable, but they are not notable in that context. DS 16:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

    • the reason Ertl stopped promoting the Eternity puzzle in the US is related to that event. So respectfully, I disagree, and I'm adding at least a reference back to the article. Possibly unrelated, but the record of the same incident is continuously removed from the article on the viscount himself, most often by homophobic vandals- that is, vandals who target pages with material about gay rights. Needless to say I'm re-adding that material to that page as well; the information is entirely historical and not often reported by the mainstream press. I'll add this response top your talk page so you see it. brain 16:36, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Viscountery

On whether Monckton is a homophobe, I am not qualified to judge. However, my inforation is that Ertl did not stop selling the Eternity Puzzle in the US, and any actions they may or may not have taken regarding promotional campaigns cannot be conclusively tied to Tatchell's actions. Consequently, these statements cannot be included in the article; please read our policies on biographies of living persons. DS 16:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

    • no, they stopped promoting it. Please see [1] - there was a big launch planned, with Monckton, and they cancelled it.
      • Thank you for your information; however, kindly refrain from re-adding this information without my explicit administrative approval: there's a problem that needs resolving first. I concede you meant well, but for right now, this information should not be in the article. DS 17:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Bear in mind that this material is controversial, and that Private Eye and OutRage are not necessarily the most reliable and/or neutral sources. This becomes even more important when you consider that Viscount Monckton has complained via OTRS. The URL you provided is most helpful, and I have asked the Viscount for his response. Until such time as that response is provided, I repeat my request that you refrain from re-adding the material in question. Thank you. DS 17:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
    • got it. Thanks, DS. brain 17:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
