[edit] Cleanup request

The background for this character is disorganized, and needs a better chronology. In addition, the info on the character's appearance in the Spider-Man films was written hastily; needs grammatical and content editing. Konczewski 04:51, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name of the article

That name completely threw me. That character is known as the burglar. The name Dennis Carradine is never used in connection to the burglar in the comics. The last name is used in connection with his daughter that appeared years after he last appeared (ASM 200). The first name is never used except in the third movie but that doesn't make it canon. The Wizard or any other of the Marvel characters that went without name would never have an entry under their civilian identity.--Leocomix 00:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. When I first saw the article listed at the Comic Project, I thought it was about a lesser known brother to Keith and David Carradine. Konczewski 02:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I corrected the article, I also created a subdivision about his name so as to remove information pertaining to other media from the section dealing with the comics character. however, I don't know to change the name of an article. If somebody can do it or tell me how to, I'd be grateful. --Leocomix 16:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I think there are two things you can do. One, petition a moderator to make the change. Unfortunately, I don't know how one does that, so you'd have to browse the help section. Two, create a new article that is more accurately named, copy all the info to that article, and place a REDIRECT in this article. The benefit of this method is that someone searching for "Dennis Carradine" will be shunted to the new article. The question remains, though, as to what to call the new article. Sorry this wasn't much help. Konczewski 19:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
