[edit] Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight

As a member of WikiProject Comics, I thought you might be interested in the Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight we have set up. Please feel free to vote on the articles listed, although bear in mind that a vote for a particular article means you are pledging to help improve the article. The goal of the collaboration is to improve articles to Featured Article status, as we feel Comics is under-represented in that area. Thanks for your help.

[edit] Possible Copyvio

According to an anonymous user, it seems as though certain edits you made to Vecna might be copyrighted material. Please see Talk:Vecna for explanation. If the information does come from the book Domains of Dread or another copyrighted source, we cannot accept it on wikipedia. I reverted the page to what I assume to be the last non-copyvio version. If you have any questions or comments, please post them on my talk page. -Parallel or Together? 05:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Arkeville vs. Archeville

[edit] Copyvios

Ive noticed that on a number of entries you have copied material from the Marvel Directory website (which in turn mostly copies from the Marvel Handbook) directly on to Wikipedia. This is not allowed as it does not qualify as fair use. Even the pictures from ther Handbook are disallowed Im afraid. Ive removed the offending material from where I could find it (secifically the Controller, Doctor Demonicus and entries). Please remove any other examples I missed and cease adding such material . Hueysheridan 17:38, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Good usable pics can be found at the Grand Comics' Database [1], which has images of just about every comic cover ever printed. Covers are usually fair use, whereas Handbook pics have been judged not to be on the basis that the Marvel Handbook is a kind of Encyclopedia and thus a competing product.
On my talk page you also you mention the fact that other entries contain copyvios, but I cannot see how that justifies your actions. I hope you fix your past edits and stop doing it, as some of your work clearly has merit. Hueysheridan 19:01, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay I see how you could have possibly made an innocent mistake (though you've apparently been on wikipedia for over a year and have been warned about copyvios before which makes it a bit hard to believe) but I hope you understand now that it is not okay and fix your previous edits. If you notice any more copyvios elsewhere it would be good to remove them or at least note them on the relevant talk page. Hueysheridan 19:13, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Resolution

Thanks for fixing your work and my apologies for apparently wrongly stating that you hadnt done so at Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Notice Board. We were having that discussion at an inappropriate location though (my fault really) so Id just as soon remove the whole thing now that the issue is resolved. Its bad form to wipe other people's comments without permission though, so Im hoping youll let me do it. Im happy to let you repost them somewhere more appropriate if you want.

[edit] Eternals

Hiya Dr. Archeville, to reply to your comment on my talk page, your new edit of the Eternals article is not as blatant a rip off as the last two, but it is again clearly just paraphrasing from the Marvel Directory entry. You make it obvious by again falling into the trap of conveying the information in the exact same paragraph structure as the Handbook entry (well thats at least true of the first 4-5 paragraphs, which is as far as I read). Like I said before and (as was made clear at the Wikiproject talk page) the best way to be clear of all this would be to use the directory as a source, but also look to other sources and cite issue numbers in connection with each claim (preferably also with a listing of the main creators involved and cover dates). As for deleting the information, at this point I think Im over-involved in the issue, I could risk being in contravention of the 3rr rule by again deleting the text and to some extent Ive frankly lost interest. Not to mention the fact that you have obviously gone to some effort here, I dont have the heart to remove your work and as you have previously pointed out the page at this point is probably less bad than many other comic book related pages (though thats admittedly pretty specious logic). I have already brought some wider attention to this whole matter at the wikiproj talk page so hopefully their are still other more experienced editors watching the page who will review it and amend it as necessary. Anyway, to end an already very long-winded answer, I hope you really are sincere in your request for criticism and consider editing the article yourself along the lines I suggested (P.S. I have copied and pasted a version of this post onto the Eternals talk page). Hueysheridan 00:48, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goblin Merge

I appreciate your proposal to merge some of the Goblins, but there's more to proposing a merge than listing it on the Notice Board. At least start the discussion. --Newt ΨΦ 02:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: Carol Cox

An editor has nominated the article Carol Cox for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carol Cox. Add four tildes like this ~~~~ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Carol Cox during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.

[edit] IP Blocked?!

Y

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

There has been an issue with autoblocks today; it should be fixed now.

Request handled by: —Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Honestly, I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner, seeing as how I work at a public university library, and not infrequently browse & edit Wikipedia from my work computer. Hope it gets resolved soon! --Dr Archeville 21:38, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Velocity 9 (comics)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Velocity 9 (comics), by 66.109.248.114 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Velocity 9 (comics) fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

lack of detail and significance


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Velocity 9 (comics), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 00:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 01:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mauvais (comics)

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Mauvais (comics), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Comics Articles for Deletion

One or more articles you’ve been involved in editing (Melter, Ringer (comics), Ego the Living Planet, or others) has been nominated for deletion. If you feel you can make contributions to the article to improve it and make it worth keeping, please do so. BOZ (talk) 14:57, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Carol Cox

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Carol Cox, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Carol Cox.

[edit] Images in articles???

Hello. I left a question on the wikiproject comics talk page, but nobody seems to have noticed, so I figured I'd ask a person who seems to know what they're talking about. After reading the thing about copyrights and images, I wanted to make sure I understood it correctly. If I would scan a few panels or a page out of a comic book and upload it onto wikipedia, would it be fair use? The way I interpreted it is that it's okay so long as you don't put so much onto the article that the reader doesn't have to actually buy the comic book. Is that right? A pyrate's life for me...
