[edit] Project Welcome

Thanks, Doczilla, for creating this WikiProject. I know I often find the primary WikiProject: Comics to be very super-hero centric, and since my comic interests tend to be expressed as: [(independents, comic strips, comic history), +Batman] its focus tends to be outside my area of expertise. Splitting Batman off into a more manageable chunk is probably a good idea. ~CS 22:25, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project Suggestions

List of Batman girlfriends could be a fun one to clean up. I have no idea why so many of those women are listed there. Each name needs citation or removal. Other names might be added. Doczilla 21:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I forgot that article existed. I still don't know what "remains" is supposed to mean, and some of the names are a little suspicious. Lois Lane? Doctor Light? Harley Quinn? What constitutes "girlfriend" in this list? They flirted once? Some sexual tension written into a single story arc? The article name should probably be changed to "Batman romantic interests" or something similar if the scope is going to be so broad.
And even that is only if this list needs to exist. Right now only Sasha Bordeaux links there (she's not even on the list!) and all of this material is covered at Batman_supporting_characters#Love_interests. ~CS 22:25, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't have a clue what "remains" is supposed to mean. Doczilla 17:58, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. Also, I note that yours is a comparatively new project. You may be interested in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide, which has a lot of information regarding project organization from several of the most successful WikiProjects. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 17:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project banner

One thing that would definitely help people know about this project is developing some sort of project banner. Do you think you could create one, or, alternately, if no image for the banner can be made, maybe talk the people in the Comics WikiProject to append a banner of yours, like WikiProject Military history, WikiProject Biography, and WikiProject Australia do? Also, do you all consider Christian Bale to be within the scope of the project or not? If yes, adding some sort of statement to that effect on his talk page might be a good idea.

It's a good idea. Please create such a banner. This project won't become an actual project unless people take on some of the tasks they think of. Doczilla 04:59, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
