[edit] Avengers (comics)

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Avengers (comics). If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.~CS 20:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your recent edits.

First off, welcome to Wikipedia. Many hands should make the work all that much lighter.

Keeping that in mind...

  • Tarantula (Marvel comics)

This needs some work on a few fronts. To that end the section for Anton Miguel Rodriguez needs to be tweaked by having the powers section expanded to include the items you're referring to covered there. The abilities section of the infobox also needs to be cleaned up. Basically the bullets removed, information shortened, and a link to the, hopefully, expanded power section of the article.

The section of the Ultimate version of the Tarantula that you've added isn't valid as of yet. Two reasons here. First, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Second, the information has to be verifiable. What you've added is nothing more than fan speculation. Only the statement that was there before your edit has any verifiable sources. Beyond that, "everyone knows" has a tendency in comics to fall apart when the writers intentions actually see print. At this point the section is best left as it was before your edit.

Last bit, and I bring this up if you are going to be doing major work on the article as it needs to be addressed (I know it was there before the Ultimate debacle broke out...). The infoboxes should not be using roman numerals as per project guidelines. They need to be eliminated and the 'boxes combined, see Human Bomb and Phantom Lady for examples.

We've been trying to head off a revert war on the infobox image for a while now. Please work with the community and discuss changes to the image. I know Wiki encourage bold editing, but this, link the Ultimate Tarantula, is only serving to antagonize all parties involved.

(While writing this I see this was addressed by another as well...)

  • Doczilla

While I can understand your frustration, what you have posted on his talk page comes close to a personal attack. At the very least it breaches the tent of civility Wiki is supposed to strive for.

Thanks for listening... — J Greb 21:01, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On your edits to Tarantula (comics)

Please read the guidance at WP:V and WP:NOR. Wanton, deliberate disregard for policy is tantamount to vandalism. --PsyphicsΨΦ 14:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No personal attacks

With regards to your comments on User talk:Doczilla: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. --GentlemanGhost 17:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
