[edit] Too small

I personally think this page is too small. She was shot recently. And there must have been some other major events recently. She was sent to another universe. I'm just saying, if she is dead now (I heard that somewhere, not sure) it should be listed.

The second link to Smallville (the TV Series) under the picture of Lois Lane goes to the Smallville (the town) webpage. Looking at the "source" I don't understand why it doesn't go to the correct page. It is the same as another link elsewhere on the page to the Smallville TV series that works properly.

[edit] Lionel Luthor

I removed Lionel luthor from the LL initial criteria, because Lex's father is never given a name beyond Luthor in the comics, also is only referenced, never seen.

[edit] The Link Under Erica

The link under Erica now leads to the Smallvile TV series wiki, not the town.(CloneArmyCommander 23:24, 13 November 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Jim lee pic

Can't someone change the main pic to one pencilled by Jim lee? That one is ugly. --Dangerous-Boy 07:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

If you were referring to the Byrne Lois drawing pic, I agree (think it looks rather dated/ugly in a way the other versions of Lois don't)... thus the reason I scanned in and put the "10 cent adventure" picture at the top (though moved the Byrne version to the "Modern Age" section). Though would rather see a Curt Swan or Kurt Schaffenberger rendition of Lois (the two artists most associated with her over the decades, particularly Schaffenberger) over Jim Lee's, myself. :-) Anthony Dean 22:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

doesn't matter. drbat keeps putting the image from byrne just because he found it.75.4.34.253 05:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

If you can find a better image then do so, but the scan from 10-cent was ugly. The quality is also lower. --DrBat 23:07, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup?

User:Exvicious tagged this article for "cleanup"---but of what specifically? The article as a whole? Or just the opening section? I thought the article itself looks reasonably fine to me... Anthony Dean 03:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I thought a lot of the top part should be integrated into the main article and the other media appearances is a mess with the random placement of the actress's pictures Exvicious 01:22, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lois Kent

anyone think we should split off an article for golden age lois?Exvicious 18:02, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't see the need. Kaijan 20:50, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This article is in need of cleanup

If you ask me, this article is somewhat poorly set up. The pictures of all the Lois Lanes need to be deleted or put into different sections. There needs to be a new section about Lois Lane in the Superman movies & Lois Lane on Smallville & in the animated series of Superman. Son of Kong

[edit] New Lois image

I found this image in a Google search, but can't find any information about the issue comes from or the artist (although the style is pretty similar to Jim Lee). Without that information, this image is useless, but either way this article needs a good artwork of the mainstream Modern Age Lois. Jonny2x4 02:08, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

-Pretty sure that's Ian Churchill from one of the recent "Countdown to Infinite Crisis" Superman/Shazam team-ups.

-That picture is from Action Comics 826, page 14. --Led Zeppelin Destroyer

[edit] Smallvile

we REALY need seperate pages for the smallville characters

yeah, and maybe actually add some information about the character Lois Lane from Smallville?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Neilll.jpg

Image:Neilll.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 23:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lois Amster?

According to an issue of Times Magazine way back in 1988 Lois was based on a girl name Lois Amster who was a student in the very same class as Siegel and Shuster who both had a tender crush on her. In the Times article an aged Ms. Amster is quoted to say she never conceived of being a reporter but was seeking to become a detective

[edit] Lois's mother

I haven't read many Superman comics in the past decade or so. But from the 1950s through the 1980s, Lois's parents (who first appeared in "Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane" #13, dated November 1959) were named Sam and Ella Lane. This article says that Lois's mother is named Ellen. I don't want to correct it, because I don't know if it's a typo, or if the character's name has actually been changed in recent years (possibly to put an end to the "salmonella" jokes that fans were making). Is there a valid source for the name "Ellen?"

[edit] Lesley Ann Warren

Why does someone keep taking out the picture of Lesley Ann Warren? —scarecroe 18:09, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other Media section...

Needs a clean up:

• Some actress have photos, but others don't.
• Smallville has it's own section... why?
