[edit] Calvin James

Although the information on Calvin James was good and complete, it was a bit long. All the other team members have short synopsis on them and Calvin James should not be any different. Also, added a "New Members" section within Phoenix Force to distinguish from the founding members. If anyone objects let's discuss. FrankWilliams 14:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page moved

The disambiguator "paperback" is somewhat inappropriate since this article is not about one book -- in fact it is about a literary franchise. I have therefore moved the article. I also suggest that in the near future the individual series of books be split up into articles of their own. 23skidoo 13:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I initially started the article for just the "Executioner" franchise. However, because there was very little with regards to the spinoff series as other articles, I added it since it was related and because the executioner stories are so intermingled with the spin-off series. I think ideally there should be an article for "Phoenix Force" and "Able Team". The info in the executioner article should remain as a way of tying all three franchises together.

Agreed, no argument there. I originally was going to move the article to Executioner (literary franchise) however that seems to be an uncommon term. And to move it to Executioner (character) is obviously wrong since Mack Bolan has an article. I also agree that, since the other spinoffs have (or will have) their own articles, a separate one for the magazine is also warranted, though it's worth noting here that one was published. I wasn't sure at first if there was a connection to Pendelton until I found the cited webpage that indicated that it had a Pendelton connection, at least at first. 23skidoo 15:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Article

I created a Phoenix Force article with the proper links. They along with Able Team can continue to grow while the executioner article can serve as a place that ties all three franchies together with minimal edits and changes to the Phoenix Force and Able Team paragraphs.FrankWilliams 14:31, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of books

The list is waaay too long. Why not just link to the relevant lists on MackBolan.com? - KingRaptor 09:49, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Agreed that the list is long; however wiki articles should be self enclosed. If a link goes down the list is unavailabe. Also, just in principle most of the information in wiki is "Somewhere" why not just link everything. :) Seriously, this is why the list is at the end; that way users who are not interested don't have to scroll through.
