It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality.

Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

[edit] Image

According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/copyright, "All fair use images must be used as a part of a commentary on the material in question; it is not acceptable to use fair use images for mere decoration." The current use of the image Image:Bc3.jpg does not qualify this, as there is no discussion of this particular image or his Battle Chasers artwork in general in the article (there is hardly anything on any of his artwork.) So, for now, it should not be included. --Fritz S. (Talk) 18:58, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Original Research?

"his popular work lead to a new interest in Japanese entertainment in the U.S." this definately needs to be sourced.--Fritz S. (Talk) 11:20, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] external link

I propose to put a link towards a gallery of various variant covers of Joe Madureira. This is the link : http://abcovers.free.fr/index.php?option=com_ponygallery&Itemid=26&func=viewcategory&catid=29 Do you think this is appropriate?Kaperni | Talk 16:58, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

The link seems completely useless to me given that the one page currently linked in the article, JoeMAdFan.com, already has all those covers and many more; in a higher resolution and without the watermarks that is. And it's ad-free, too. So, if you ask me, I don't think the link should be included. --Fritz S. (Talk) 17:05, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

stop plugging your site. for god's sake, you have the same handle there as on wikipedia. no, it's *not* appropriate. Exvicious 08:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
