[edit] Merge Proposal

No Merge Merging Spider-Man 2099 into Spider-Man is just dumb -- 69.183.15.244 05:28, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

They are guidelines and as such can have exceptions. Equally just because we have a list here doesn't mean everything has to be automatically merged into it - there are exceptions here already and there is no reason Spider-Man 2099 can't have its own section here and a link to the full entry using {{main}}. Looking over the character they seem to have had number of other versions themselves as well as cropping up in games and toys so I'd be comfortable with suggesting we keep this - it does need work though. I probably would vote to merge Spider-Man 2211 if anyone was interested in proposing it. (Emperor 01:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC))

No Merge mention on the page I agree with; however, I discourage a complete merge. I feel that the character is chief amongst a specific Marvel imprint, and that sigificance merits it's own page. The Spiderman 2099 is not a stub and merging it into this article would only be a disservice to that article. 66.109.248.114 23:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

No Merge - as with Hulk 2099, the character and the comic have a separate significance unrelated to Spider-man and require their own article to express. Merging would lead to relevant information being left out or the over-expansion of the alternate spider-man article. Terrypin 14:54, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

No Merge: Spider-Man 2099 was part of an alternate universe comic for 4 years, and still is used somewhat sporadically (now in Exiles). Just as there is an Ultimate Spider-Man article, there should be a Spider-Man 2099 article. Notthegoatseguy 18:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SpideyCostumes.jpg

Image:SpideyCostumes.jpg 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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.
