[edit] Skeets

Sure, I'll add it in.--DrBat 19:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: title conventions

He's gotten notes regarding the citation guidelines from the Comics Project, as well as the Succession number and the Wiki guidelines for date formatting multiple times on his talk page.

Upshot of his comments when the subject of the citations was on the Project talk page boiled own to he was right, we're wrong, he'll do it his way.

Every now and then I'll check his contribs just to see what he's been up to. I was being polite and just hitting the relevant sections of the edits, but...

[edit] Fictional character biography

Please stop changing this to Character biography. Wikipedia:WikiProject_Comics/exemplars is specifically worded to satisfy Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) guidelines. If you want to change the exemplar, then bring it up for discussion before you continue with mass changes. CovenantD 21:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AWB

Is there any reason why you requested AWB access even though you are already approved? Also, just a reminder that there is no need to replace a link of the sort [[REDIRECT]] with [[DIRECT LINK|REDIRECT]], per the redirect policy. —METS501 (talk) 23:37, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citation/Title conventions -- as per Project Guidelines

Chris Griswold brought up a very good point on my talk page. The Project guidelines (link above) are very specific: second and later volumes should be tagged as "vol. n", not "vn". You may need to go through you AWB edits for to day an correct the formatting. — J Greb 00:39, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't that conflict with the overall MoS, though? I seem to recall that they were in conflict on this, and that Exvicious is really just following the general standard. CovenantD 01:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

There's a conflict? I think I'll forcus on getting rid of (Nst series) stuff first, but I'll use "vol. n" until further notice.--EXV // + @ 01:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I think I've found what CovenantD is referring to. The relevant information is here: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics)#Disambiguation between volumes

The long and the short of it is that "vn", "(nth series)", "(Year series)", and so on are wrong by either standard. Personally, if we are going to use abbreviations in other areas, such as the months for cover dates, then "vol." should be acceptable. Also, I don't like the inference the "volume n" should be italicized. In most cases the volume number, like the issue number, is not part of the title. — J Greb 03:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comics to Comic Book?

Why are you changing all these pages from Comics to Comic book? when and where was that change decided so I can review the reasons, please? thanks. ThuranX 04:08, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh. Shockingly logical. Thanks. I think that someday, there's probably going to be a mass disambig move series separating comic book and comic book character and so on... I just hope it's no time soon. My watchlist would double, and the amount of idiotic IP vandals putting in things like "is the joker's schlong white, is the thing's dork rocky"... would grow exponentially more. ThuranX 04:24, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Captain Marvel

Can you please edit your citation to the 'preferred format', perhaps using the 'cite web' template style? thanks. I'm slowly trying to reformat the citations to the newer style, and it'd help a lot if you could take care of the cite you added. If not, I'll get it in time, LOL. ThuranX 04:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Citation_templates is what I'm talking about... Thanks. ThuranX 04:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: More on comic references

To be honest I wouldn't propose a change to the ref template.

In general other reference works have two distinct styles for the text and the footnotes. This results in the 'notes being in an academic shorthand. The reference "notes" here seem to follow the same conventions. So, where "Wonder Woman vol. 2, #12 with art and story by George Perez" should be spelled out in the article body for the casual reader, it won't fly in the 'notes.

— J Greb 06:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I think you may be missing the point.

First, the style for the references need to be consistent across the board, both between the types of references and across articles.

Second, the style is to an extent dictated by academic standards.

You can creates any template you like, true. But since there is a current template in place, it is likely that a new one will be reverted to standing one when placed in articles. It's also unlikely to gain enough support to replace the standing one.

— J Greb 07:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Very true. It would move the "aside" comments to the bottom and make them uniform. It would still leave essential title/issue references in the body, but it would be a start. — J Greb 08:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Jessica Harp - The Wreckers.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jessica Harp - The Wreckers.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Extraordinary Machine 18:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
