[edit] V source?

Hi! Thanks for adding more background on V for Vendetta. I just did a little copyediting to clean up format and grammar. What's your source for the info about the early Warrior days? Especially the Marvelman connection - I had never heard that; are you guessing or did Moore (or Skinn) say something about it? (Aha, I just found an old interview[1] in which Moore denies any connection between V and Marvelman - so I'll remove that.) If it's in a book, we should create a References section and list it there. ←Hob 04:32, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Ah - so, if the answer is "Skinn often comments at conventions about this", then we could still use it in the article if (a) his comments also appeared in print somewhere that we can point to, and (b) we say that it's according to Skinn (and that Moore disagrees). Otherwise we're just printing rumors that no one can check. This isn't the first time that Skinn has recalled things very differently from others - his view is still notable but we don't want to take sides. ←Hob 18:33, 4 October 2005 (UTC) (btw, don't forget to sign comments like this: ~~~~)

[edit] Miracleman

You've added a lot of good material in the Miracleman article too, but it's going to need cleaning up - partly for grammar mistakes ("them self", "it's/its", "courts finding that ... being found", etc.) and partly for the kind of point-of-view writing where you talk to the reader as "we" and say things are "extremely powerful". Also I don't think we need to mention (and link!) relatively minor elements of the story like the Firedrake. (A minor point: it's not really WP style to make names into links every time they occur. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links).) And when you add such a large section as the "ownership" section, it looks really bad to have nothing in the References section - we need to say where we're getting these facts, they can't just be common knowledge. ←Hob 19:34, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] oops

It looks like we both reversed the same vandalism at nearly the same time. Peace. Kukini 16:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alan Moore

I notice that you've contributed to this article in the past. Now it's the comics collab of the week. Please stop by and see if you can help bring this article up to featured article quality! ike9898 15:47, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grant Morrison

Thanks for your edits on GM. You reversed a few things I had done, and I wanted to ask you about them.

  • Do you think the decade breaks are more helpful than more specific topic breaks? I made that change because it seemed like the bio was broken up pretty arbitrarily.
  • Isn't the All Star Superman idea essentially the same as the Ultimate Spider-Man concept?
  • It seems like leaving out the fact that the "wankathon" was presented as a magical ritual, you give people a pretty distorted picture of what was going on.

Thanks for your consideration. Nareek 13:05, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, i found the decade breaks to be much better, when i first expanded that page months ago i tried the same as you did and found it quite cumbersome. Its far easier to leave it as it is (as Morrison has spent most of his career flitting between various companies) and let them expand (i still have loads to add in the 1980s for example) naturally.
The thing that impelled me to get rid of the decades was the line at the beginning of the 1990s saying that during this time Morrison continued to work on Animal Man--which is kind of needless to say, since he started a 26 issue run in 1989. But it is something he was doing in the 1990s, so the section is arguably incomplete if you leave that out. And shouldn't the end of The Invisibles be in the "2000 and beyond" section? You get these kind of problems when you break up a history in an arbitrary way.
The "wankathon" thing was a publicity stunt as well as a 'magical ritual', there's more information on it on The Invisibles page which is more appropriate for expanding unpon it.
I think the sigil thing is a good way to give an example of what it means to say that Morrison is a practicing magician. It arguably has more to do with Morrison as a creator than with The Invisibles as a creative work. While you obviously want to keep a main article on track and move some details to subsidiary pages, you also don't want the main page to be misleading, which I think the summary here is.
The All Star line is an odd one, it's easy to say it is DC's version of the Ultimate line but it is and it isn't at the same time. It's easier again to let any comparison of these lines remain on the relevant pages.
It's easy to say because it does convey the essential aspects of the project in a way that comic readers will immediately understand. (Nothing's identical to anything; that doesn't mean it's not helpful to point out that the Fantastic Four, for example, were part of the same genre as Superman.) The fact that DC sees Morrison as able to do for its icons what Brian Michael Bendis did for Marvel's seems pretty relevant to Morrison's career.
When I get a chance, I'll put up some altered versions of my edits--let me know if they still don't work for you. Nareek 14:20, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I decided that you were right about the Ultimate thing. I put a reference to Ultimate on the All Star DC Comics page, which does seem like where it belongs.

I did expand slightly the "wankathon" reference--see what you think.

As for the breakers in the section, I'll give it some more thought before I change them again--and if I do, I'll raise it as an issue on the talk page. You're right that breaking it up chronologically is the simplest way, but the simplest way is not always the most helpful. Perhaps the discussion itself is too chronological now--maybe the order that he wrote his titles is not the most useful way to talk about them. In terms of improving this article to the point where it might be featured, it seems like it needs to do a little more to tell why this guy is an important figure in comics history--which can be a difficult thing to while sticking to the NPOV rules.

[edit] 2000 AD to do

As I see you have been working around the area of the British comic industry I thought I'd point you to the 2000AD to do list - if you see anything relevant that needs starting or expanding feel free to throw it in, if something on the list takes your fancy tehn go for it and if you can think of anyone else who might be interested then pass it on (Emperor 01:35, 3 March 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Flesh!

At last. Really pleased you did this one. Can we have a Harlem Heroes?

[edit] V for Vendetta

I posted some suggestions for you on the talk page but please take them with a grain of salt as I am a newcomer to the article. Although I tried to understand the NPOV issues that have been discussed earlier, it's possible that some of my suggestions have already been addressed and decided against. Happy editing. savidan(talk) (e@) 18:54, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good. Also, I saw that you reverted that image. Is there any reason why they both can't be in the article? savidan(talk) (e@) 19:44, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2000 AD Universe up for deletion

2000 AD Universe has been put up for deletion - we'd appreciate input on the discussion to gain as balanced a view as possible (Emperor 22:08, 19 September 2006 (UTC))

No problem - any major goingson I try and list on the 2000 AD talk page but I do try and drop a note to interested parties as informed folks can help bring a lot to the table. In this case it looks like a good comrpomise has been thrashed out. You wouldn't be able to help fill in any blanks on that article - it does seem to have been "policy" but is there a source that states this (possibly David Bishop's Thrill Power Overload)?
