[edit] Main article still too long/Do not delete

The main article is now even longer than it had been before by re-adding this section back in. The main article will still need to be shortened after this section gets removed again (assuming this article does not get deleted). There are other articles of this nature for multiple other comic book characters that have been used multiple times in multiple alternate universes. Maybe it needs some clean-up so it's less of a list, but that can be done. If this article is deleted then the main article will be way too long. -Freak104 12:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Also, look at my argument here in the discussion section for the main article. -Freak104 12:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

• Hi some effort is being made to shorten the main article. Please feel free to help me trim it back on the version at Captain America WIP. Thanks Jasynnash2 (talk) 13:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Capzombie.PNG

Image:Capzombie.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Modern Continuity

Currently, there is some conflict in the interpretation of who should be listed here, which I believe lies in the interpretation of What if 4. As someone who has both read and owns the actual issue, I feel that specifically under the title of What if and it's context at that time as an early issue, it was considered "imaginary" initially. The Cap Annual 6 (6 years later) resurrected the story and brought it "into" continuity. The What if and Cap Annual 6 and the Captain era point to "Captain America" being a goverment appointed position. I also own Truth, and my understand of that source material and recent retcon's and my understanding is that Bradley's current interpretation is that his Tuskegee like project was an effort to recreate project; although he did hold the title in an alternate universe. In the same context, I am not familiar of how Falcon became Cap in Sentinals of Liberty (just that he is referenced as Cap on his character bio), and to better hatch that out would point to either his continued inclusion or the inclusion of other characters such as Clint Barton. -66.109.248.114 (talk) 14:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC).

• How can Steve Rogers be an "alternate version" of the character? I haven't removed it but, I don't see how this applies. Please let me know. Thank you. Jasynnash2 (talk) 13:16, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • The page reflects the multiple interpretations of Captain America. Rogers is the primary interpretation of the character. This is similar the Alt version of Superman, which has been pointed to as an exemplar for this type of page. -66.109.248.114 (talk) 21:04, 30 April 2008 (UTC).
