[edit] Titles:

El Cazador and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang are part of the Sigilverse, they're just somewhat less connected than other titles and they take place earlier in time. For instance, the main villain in KKBB is an Atlantean from Crux. I'm moving them back.

When I added ==Web Presence== I wiki linked hover for placing the mouse icon over something without clicking. This may be a technical term. I can't find an entry to link this to. Also, I referred to client side browser code but I don't actually know the details of how the feature was implemented.

[edit] Classification

There should be a background color made for crossgen titles. Red and yellow would make the most sense, try reflecting the sigil theme. Also; distinguish Sigilverse comics from other 'crossgen' titles appropriatly, have a section on other 'crossgen' titles discussing the titles and the other publishing sections of Crossgen on this page,(I think it is CGE logo instead of sigil, meaning, relevance??) The catergory pages for crossgen need tidying up.

[edit] User Boxes

It would be nice to have user boxes, so's we can have a list of people interested. I don't know how to make a real userbox, just have hacked together {{userbox|#AABBAA|#DDEEDD|[[Image:Crosgenl.jpeg|40px]]|This user reads [[CrossGen]]}}. Anybody got the knowledge to share? rewinn 06:42, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hurricane Productions

For sometime now i have been debating whether or not to include a section on Hurricane comics. Some titles are listed below where it has been tagged, E.g. Snake Pliskin and Red Star, Demon Wars. I could give it its own page but there really wouldn't be much. To include it would push this article way up in the text count etc, but seems logical as Hurricane was an imprint of CrossGen and really should be included as i included a section for Code6 comics and would also complete the article in terms of products and imprints (i think anyway). Thoughts please Sigil-Bearers. Savre 04:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Code6 Logo.gif

Image:Code6 Logo.gif 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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 06:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Both of these images have now been taken care of. I would invite the owner of BetacommandBot to, in future, make greater efforts to be a productive member of the Wikipedia, providing fair use rationales where needed, rather than being accusatory, threatening deletion, and making other editors do the work.
