This page would probably be better as a section in Eragon and Stargate rather than its own page. Quickbeam 04:24, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Eh? why would that be? Kull is a well known and independant character with his own cycle and does deserve his own article... Also, I don't know why it should be a subset of the stuff you mention, which at best borrowed from Howard.

On another tack, I'd like to know why whoever wrote the passage mentiond Thulsa Doom as a recurring character... to the best of my knowledge, he only appears in Delcardes' Cat but I thought it better to ask before correcting the text. Svartalf--Svartalf 23:38, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Kull was created by Robert E. Howard in the 1920s. "Stargate" and "Eragon" are both recent inventions. Spartan198 (talk) 04:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC) Spartan198

[edit] Where does Kull appear?

Can someone add in a list of stories in which Kull appears? It's relevant to the article, and also, I'd like to read them... SpectrumDT 20:33, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] He-Man connection

In the subsection referring to the connection between Kull and He-Man, I believe He-Ro and King Grayskull are two different characters filling the same role. One originating as a proposed character at the end of the original toyline and one created for the 200x cartoon. Not certain though so I won't edit it.

[edit] The merger question

IMHO, it would be just plain weird to merge the article on the DC King Kull character with the article on the Howard character. They represent two independent creations, with nothing in common but the name. The articles belong apart. Why is this even under discussion? It should be a no-brainer. BPK 06:17, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kull 1969.jpg

Image:Kull 1969.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 05:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ramelia

Is this the correct spelling of that Pre-Cataclysmic nation, or is it Kamelia? I haven't read any of the Kull series but Howard's "Hyborian Age" essay has it as Kamelia. Cerdic 00:55, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I went ahead and changed it to Kamelia unless someone can show it was right the first time. Cerdic 13:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Kamelia is correct. I thought I'd seen something somewhere about one called Ramedia, but I can't find anything about it now. Spartan198 (talk) 04:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC) Spartan198
