the grammer in the article is atrocious, as is the sentence structure. its almost unreadable, and is badly in need of a re-write.

I've attempted to rewrite the information in the article, dividing them in section, but I confess my lack of information about the "Forgotten Heroes" period. So, I've not removed the Stub template, nor the Clean-up one, waiting for another intervention DrTofu83 16:50, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

• I think 172.209.165.165 has made a very good job on this article... so I think we can reconsider the clean-up template DrTofu83 22:19, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] About the last edit of 84.9.50.139

I reverted the version to the last one of Ultimate Pyro 'cause of two major things, the unencyclopedic wording (always write in third person, never referring to itself, like a real encyclopedia) and because the suggested information... were all true, but no more actual. We even don't know if after the Infinite Crisis Dolphin's story is still the post-Crisis version...

"No 79 which i have does not mention a shark and she talks in response to the seaman with who she is romantically involved not a female doctor"

Well, the Secret Origins version, published shortly after the Crisis on Infinite Earths picks up from this point of the story, telling the whole history from the point of view of the seaman, lovesick and obsessed with Dolphin at the point of insanity, talking with the doctor about Dolphin. At the end of the story, a blatant retcon suggest that half the story in the suggested issue was partly a fantasy of the obsessed sailor, 'cause the doctor, showing him that Dolphin wears the same tatoo-mark that the sailor has, told him that the very alien race who abduct the young girl to turn her into a mermaid, had brainwashed him with a strong compulsion to follow the girl, and, eventually, protect their finest specimen. At the end of the story the sailor, managing to contact Dolphin, shakes from his ipnotic suggestion and leaves to "live his own life".

I only think we must keep in the profile only the last retcon.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dolphin comics.jpg

Image:Dolphin comics.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 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.
