[edit] Showcase (comic book)
The connection to Solo is a big stretch. Yeah, they're both anthologies, but as you said, they serve different purposes. There are lots of other anthologies that could be compared to Showcase (Dark Horse Presents, X-Men Unlimited, Digital Webbing Presents, etc.), but they're not Showcase, and that's what the article's about.
Has DC said that they're doing Showcase Presents to imitate Marvel's "Essentials" line, or that they were inspired by it? If not, we're not allowed to say that. Any time you try to say "why" something happened, you get in trouble with Wikipedia policy against including opinions and speculation, unless you can point to an independent and credible source that says so, and even then you should identify whose analysis you're quoting.

I've answered your comments on my own Talk page, since it was easier to do it point by point there. Tverbeek 18:23, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Liefeld page deleteions
Looks to me like your post was wiped by accident. On July 21, user:Timrock inadvertently cut-and-pasted an entire copy of the talk page into itself, so everything except his most recent comment appeared twice. Here's the edit where it happened
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Rob_Liefeld&diff=next&oldid=19298860
With all the nonsense that was going on, nobody noticed the problem for several days. Your edit was in the (top) duplicate copy that was chopped out; most everybody else was posting at the end of the talk page, and I think admin Francs2000 just didn't see that your comment wasn't duplicated when cleaning up the page. Why don't you just go back into the history, and cut-and-paste it back into the current article. I'd do it for you, but it wouldn't be signed right, and with all the hoorah about editing other people's comments . . . N. Caligon 01:16, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Category:Marvel Universe characters
- Characters aren't meant to be in both subcategories and supercategories - that is to say, they are not meant to be in categories which are a logical parent of a category they are already in.
- I note that Vance Astro and the other GotG members, at least (it's a long list), is actually not a MU character, but a character who resides in an alternate future of the MU, leading me to think you were somewhat... indiscriminate... in your selection, and that it is thus essentially a duplicate of Category:Marvel Comics characters. - SoM 21:35, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
[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] Copyvios
Where can one find good, useable pics for various Marvel pages? Oh, and FYI, lots more articles copy stuff directly from the MarvelDirectory, like the entry on the Eternals. Dr Archeville 18:49, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- I mentioned other pages seemingly copying fromt he MarvelDatabase b/c, if those pages have been accepted, then it does set a precedent. If someone sees a page that's copied from the MarvelDirectory, and that no one's done anything about it, then one can easily be lead to believe that doing so is okay. Dr Archeville 19:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- Wipe away, I'm just as ready/amenable to putting this all behind us as you ;-) . Dr Archeville 14:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
How does the Eternals (comics) article look now? Still pushing it? If so, lemme know and I'll remove what I added. Dr Archeville 21:08, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I do appreciate your reply, and am always welcome to receiving constructive criticism (it just sometimes take a while to get it to penetrate my thick skull ;-) ). As for the Eternals article itself... I'm tempted to just leave it to others (hopefully more experienced others) to deal with, since there's no way I can obtain those 30-year-old issues to cite (and to my knowledge there are no reprints available).

[edit] Not a bother at all
Glad to clarify, and I'm sorry I might have written something unclear. Happy Wiki-ing! -- Tenebrae 19:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Arrowsmith
Oops! I have now corrected my earlier error of using {{source}} when I should have used {{Citation needed}} in Arrowsmith. Sorry! - Dyslexic agnostic 22:09, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hey
Please don't put that line about me contributing to Wikipedia in my bio page, if that was you who did it, I'm not entirely sure I understand the history tab. Anyway, it's hardly a significant fact, and I wasn't writing my own biography, I just deleted something that seemed out of place and added some facts. I wasn't aware that was some taboo, but I've since learned even something like that is basically frowned upon. But thanks for expanding all that stuff, you got things I long forgot about myself. That's why I love Wikipedia. -- Ed Brubaker 08:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
