[edit] Da'kor

WTF is up with the Da'kor race description? Either modify ALL of the race descriptions to be pseudoscientific, or keep it short. Honestly, I don't think having a full screen of jargon is very 'encyclopedic' in this context.

[edit] Aimed at women?

"The comic is aimed mostly at female audience because of its lack of action."

Where in the website does it say that? Or does the author of that particular comment feel that us men only like things that have big trucks, explosions and hot lesbian action? Crimson Shadow 12:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually, Sarah said it in one interwiev, I'll try to find it.

Here it is: [1]

Cheers. I've taken the liberty of re-wording that statement however, as in its current form I feel it can be mistaken for sexist stereotyping. Crimson Shadow 18:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

No problem.

[edit] Story

Can I write more in "Story"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.152.216.221 (talk • contribs) 03:52, May 26, 2006

I noticed that a lot of this page was copied from the Inverloch website.

I agree. It should be changed.

Characters section is definitively copied from Inverloch website. This whole article should be rewritten. Even Croatian article is better than this. Keaze 13:44, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if it is a good idea, but there should be first appearance for characters. Keaze 02:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers

The character and race sections have a number of spoilers for events later in the comic (perhaps ignoring the fact that a character list is a spoiler in itself. :) ) Perhaps these sections should be cleared up a little to not be quite so revealing or clearly labelled as spoiling. --Aspectacle 08:09, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, there is a spoiler warning on the page. Crimson Shadow 11:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I'd noticed. :) It's just that it seems attached to the plot only as it is broken from the character section by the awards section which is clearly not spoiler material. And if you look at the character/race section it reveals far more about the plot and interesting events from the story than the plot section does! --Aspectacle 12:15, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've popped in an endspoiler tag and plaed the award section outside of the spoiler warning's range. Does this look better? Crimson Shadow 15:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

yes - lovely. Thank you. :) --Aspectacle 06:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure athkatchus need spoilers? I mean the only appearance is on the beginning when Acheron is trying to kill one of them.Keaze 05:43, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] When the comic is updated

I think if you consider the author being in Australia the comic is updated on Mondays and Thursdays (East Coast Australian time). I consider this to be somewhat more consistent, and perhaps understandable than saying Sunday/Monday, Wednesday/Thursday in an undescribed timezone? --Aspectacle 08:09, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Characters

Whoever changed Lei'ella section should do the same with the rest of character profiles. I also think character pictures should be deleted or changed because they're pretty much outdated. Keaze 06:36, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Which ones are outdated? I can understand Varden, but the rest? Crimson Shadow 11:11, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Pictures should be different than the ones on the Inverloch website. I don't think those pictures are even needed.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Inverloch logo.JPG

Image:Inverloch logo.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 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 07:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Da'kor ears

The Da'kor description says their ears are "triangular and apparently immobile", but in the comic Acheron moves his ears at a number of places; for example, he lowers them when he's sad. 81.226.252.221 (talk) 12:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
