[edit] Re: Hellions

  • I noticed you just made a change to the Hellions page where you made a link to New Mutants in the caption of one of the images. Given that there is a link to that page already in the text of the Hellions page, doesn't that qualify as double-linking? Or is image caption text not considered part of the article body in this kind of situation?

*shrugs* I've never considered image captions to be part of the body text, and link accordingly. - SoM 22:14, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Earth-One vs. Earth-1

Thank you for restoring the "Earth-One" (etc.) spelling on Multiverse (DC Comics). Contrary to what you stated in your edit comment, that was the standard and official way of spelling it. For some reason, John Costanza used numerals in Crisis itself, and there may be other examples where someone goofed, but that is not "how they were always referred to in the actual comics". Tverbeek 02:45, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but your childhood memories are mistaken, probably affected by all the modern-age people who can't be bothered to type "o-n-e". Whether you believe it or not, it was spelled out as "Earth-One", and I have actual comics as my references, not vague recollections. If you think about it, hand-lettered "Earth-1" and "Earth-2" would have been easily misread as "Earth-I" and "Earth-Z". And compared to the innumerable periods written as exclamation marks, spelling out the names of the Earths several times in each of a handful of comics each year wasn't much of a burden on letterers. As for the Earths first shown in Crisis, I'd consider "4" and "6" to be a mistake on Costanza's part, just like "1" and "2" were, but if you feel they should be spelled that way in th article, go ahead.

[edit] Re: Phoenix

The Phoenix force may not be a little green man but it is an extra-terrestrial entity first encountered in space. I think that counts as alien by most definitions. However if you feel particually strongly about it you can remove it. Iron Ghost, 00:12, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] X-Mansion

There are at least three different Marvel Girls in the Marvel Universe. I think

Marvel Girl (Jean Grey)

lets people see more clearly at once who Marvel Girl is referring to than:

Marvel Girl

[edit] moving a page

No, when a page is moved it's not a requirement for the person who did the move to update all the pages that link to it, to point to the new title rather than going through the redirect. It would be nice if all those pages got updated by and by (by someone, or several other people), but in the meantime the redirect works fine.

The (movie) -> (film) title update is being done all over Wikipedia, apparently there was a consensus to make this the new naming standard. -- Curps 16:34, 22 August 2005 (UTC)


Actually, I think there are such redir-fixing bots, which some users occasionally run, but there are a lot of pages out there, so it might take a long time. -- Curps 16:42, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Canada Line

The Canada Line is not going to be an Bombardier Advanced Rapid Transit system like the current two SkyTrain lines. It will be built by a different consortium of companies, with wider cars driven by an electric third rail (the current SkyTrain lines use linear-induction motors instead of a third rail). The cars will be made by ROTEM. The two systems will not be compatible -- trains from the current lines won't be able to run on the new line, and vice cersa

Of course, there's nothing stopping TransLink from calling all three SkyTrain lines -- or even calling the light rail Evergreen Line a SkyTrain line, for that matter. But they won't be the same kind of system. --Jfruh 00:46, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian superheroes

Thanks for doing cleanup work on my cleanup work. It's nigh impossible to keep up with all the categories. CovenantD 19:17, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Xavier Institute Student Body to Category:Xavier Institute student body

If you look at the very bottom of the CfD page you will see this listed under Speedy Moves. Anyone can do this, I believe you just need to cut and past the contents of the old name to the new one and rhen change the category for those listed in the old to the new. At some point, this will be picked up by a bot, but you don't need to wait if you have the time. Vegaswikian 19:57, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:MetaStar still reverting Jean Grey when discussions have not reached a consensus

Hi there,

I noticed you posted on MetaStar's talkpage regarding the three-revert rule. He has continued [1] to revert the Jean Grey page since then. Joeyconnick 19:08, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

He's staying within the boundaries of three reverts per 24-hour period, so there's nothing I can "enforce". Try a straw poll or a request or comment. Stifle (talk) 22:52, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I do always put the source information whenever I link to the image as you can see the artist name and comic book "Age of Apocalypse" (the Marvel Handbook) on this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Child_%28comics%29 Do I also need to add source information to the image? Thanks! Blatantdream 21:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fictional heroines

Well, it looks like we have our work cut out for us correcting all the categorization that some anonIP did. CovenantD 22:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I know! People come up with the stupidest categories and then go nuts with them. Ahhhh! Joeyconnick 23:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Sorry for stepping on your edits to X-23. I was working from an slightly outdated list and didn't catch your newer edits. CovenantD 00:18, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
No problem. It's hard keeping up with the crazy/useless category people. *grin* Joeyconnick 00:19, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
