[edit] new universe objections
i strenuously object to the notion that the cameo appearances under the reintoduction heading should be removed; placing them under their proper "character" heading is a good idea, but i see no reason why they should not be in both places - especially when it highlights the fact that many of the creators were pushing for a reintoduction on the new u characters into the mainstream marvel u.
[edit] Elizondo suggested text
YOU SUCK
- Gosh. Unsigned fanmail. I feel so special now. :) Mrph 20:23, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I tried to come up with some phrasing that would fit your suggestion. Head over toTalk:Horacio Elizondo and take a look. Thanks! Vickser 18:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hulk
No need for apologies. I just wanted to be sure. If you ever have any questions about anything, feel free to ask me. If I don't know the answer, maybe I can point you in the right direction. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 21:18, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nick Fury
My compliments on categorizing the Nick Fury Other Media section. Makes the information much clearer and more useful. Thanks! And take Chris up on his offer; he's good people. Any thing I can help you with as well, just ask. --Tenebrae 04:12, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alternate Versions
not quite sure this should be included...unless the intention is to list ALL of the alternate versions under one heading. even then, it further separates "newuniversal" from the rest of the listings. if anything - "newuniversal" should either have its own listing OR should be under the heading for the 20th Anniversary of the New U; especially since this is what Marvel and its creators intended.
Many of your changes thus far have either created redundancy or sometimes confusion. it is important to keep everything clear and concise. i agree with your assertion that space is an issue...hence some of the linkage for what was quoted material has been removed. once certain changes were made on your end, the Gruenwald perspective section didn't seem to fit anymore, so it was moved to the external links section. I welcome your comments and additions, but do try and keep everything "lean and mean"; some changes seem to be alterations for alterations sake - as opposed to constructive additions to the text...
personally, i would love to list all the promotional interviews that Marvel did to promote the New U, but don't because that would be excessive, and would turn the article into a "raging monster".
may need your help, though, on the picture. i erroneously deleted it (maybe?) while trying to figure out how to upload the newuniversal image to the article. would you be able to re-insert it or figure out how to help me relist it?
i would certainly much rather work with you so that we are not butting heads, especially since we both seem to have ideas on where this article should go...i would love it if in the future we could discuss it through wiki's "talk" before changes get made (maybe allow a day or 2 for discussion before anything gets added or deleted). i can definitely see that you are just as passionate as i am about the saga. my hope is that this page will serve as an excellent starting point for the uninitiated, and i would certainly welcome your help. best, nthman
[edit] Whoops
These things keep changing; I was going by Spider-Man, which is usually pointed to as a high standard, but now that I see the exemplar's been updated, I'll put the Blazing Skull intro back the way it was and update the Spider-Man intro. Hey, I think it's cool that there even IS a Blazing Skull entry! Thanks for pointing this out in such a nice way; you're one of the good ones!--Tenebrae 02:33, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Avataars: Covenant of the Shield
Feel free to take down the notability tag I placed on the article. I tend to take a deletionist approach to all new articles, but if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. DesertSky85451 22:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
A second note about this article. I added a summary of the story to this article and was going to add a section listing the charcters and their Marvel Universe equivilents. Then I realized that there are close to seventy characters and just how much space that would take up. Since you created that page, I thought I'd get your advice about wether its actually worth it.

- No problem about the work on Avataars. I was pleasently surprized to find that somebody had created that article. I thought I was the only one who remembered it. :-) Stephen Day 02:34, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jimmy Woo
Y'know, that's a real good question given his provenance as one of the first 1950s Atlas characters to make the leap to Marvel mainstream. (Thank you, Jim Steranko, back in 1967!). DO you think he has have enough history and background to fill a page by himself, though? What do you think of having a solid paragraph for him and other major SHIELD supporting agents in this similar range of notability (Woo, Contessa Valentina Allegra di Fontaine, Jasper Sitwell, Al MacKenzie, maybe Gaffer?). -- Tenebrae 22:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Then I say go for it. I'll help with copy editing and any of the early historical stuff if you want. Cheers, mate! -- Tenebrae 19:36, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] You are Welcome
Thanks for the note. Nice to see another body who is really trying to add a bit of flavour to the articles, many of which are verbose (as "tell the story") and poorly written. I can't understand why CovenantD insists on reverting text when many of the entries are a mess. The information's all still there, but in a more succinct form. I find mini-headings and dot points to list powers/abilities/traits etc (see Absorbing Man) help enormously. Well, managed to put back the revised text and keep both images for Super Skrull. Looks very sharp. Onward!
