[edit] TV show

sorry! I added the parts about the tv show thinking that wikipedians had not added a page (nothing came up in my search results, and I am fairly new to wikipedia [i've been here before, but just for research things]) I added the parts about the TV show (which proved how little I knew), and kind-of muddled the article thank you for straightening it out, and again, sorry....

It's okay, just ask if you want to know more

[edit] Inappropriate additions

Someone (I'm guessing from the repetition of his previous activity that it's User:Mare-Silverus) has been inserting quotes at the top of this article and two others about Static. As I've explained to him, they do not belong there; this is an encyclopedia, not a fan site, and there are standards for how articles should be structured and what they should contain. This is why I keep removing those quotes, and will continue to remove them as often as necessary. If the person who keeps adding them would like to act like an adult and discuss it, that would be very welcome. Tverbeek 18:00, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Move and Merger

I've renamed this page from Static (comics) to Static (superhero) to reflect the fact that the character is well-established in both comics and television. In this context, the Static Shock page can focus on the television series itself, and this page can focus on the character in both media, including coverage of the comics series of the same name. The Static (Static Shock) page will be merged into this page and the main Static Shock page, and redirected here. Tverbeek 23:35, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

I've imported most of the material from Static (Static Shock) into this article and redirected that article here. This is now the article for information about the character of Static, in either incarnation. Tverbeek 15:47, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia section heading

I've changed the heading back to just "Trivia" again. Since the page is about Static, then the trivia is by default assumed to be about Static. Saying "Trivia about Static/Virgil Hawkins" is redundant. Pitr 19:20, 11 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Trivia - Source

RE the last item in the trivia section

"In the animated series, Virgil has harboured a powerful dislike of guns, since his mother, an emergency call doctor and ambulance paramedic, was killed by stray gang-fire during the Dakota City Riots, twelve years before the Big-Bang. His fear and hatred for guns has been illustrated more than once in the series."

It's not that I don't think that this is relevent or important, I just don't recall guns ever being a real issue in the animated series except maybe as his dislike of being shot at.

For my own reference, could somebody please drop some examples (series and espisode number + scene or quote) into the discussion section.

There is no need to edit the main article. This is just for my curiosity.

It looks as if someone has removed/swapped the pic of Static #1 with some automobiles. Does anyone know what that's about? It's in the Fictional character biography section.
