[edit] Discussion

The recently returned Mar-Vell is a SKRULL!!! Ironic ... huh?

[edit] Merge

Per WP:CMC, Ultimate character articles should be merged into those of their Marvel Universe counterparts. --Chris Griswold 22:57, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

• Merge -- Chris Griswold 22:57, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

• No Merge -- In a perfect world, I wouldn't see anything wrong merging MU and Ultimate characters together. But, unfortunately, Wikipedia is not perfect. MU character articles are already so big and unwieldly (see Magneto, Thor, Wolverine (comics), Daredevil (comics), etc.), that inclusions of their Ultimate counterparts just make things worse. Even if one did try to consciously keep a combined article small and neat, there will always come a time when someone decides to dump a load of information on it. As a result, it'll just get bigger and even more difficult to maintain. So, I vote No Merge. If they're kept separate, they'll be easier maintain. Bhissong 23:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)bhissong

[edit] Article Condense

These wiki comic articles are meant to be short, concise descriptions of the character. The Mar-Vell page has had a tendancy to be overly long, including unnecessary "play-by-play" descriptions of storylines. This verbose style is to be avoided. As a result, it will not be uncommon for large sections of text to be deleted for purposes of article integrity.

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

Image:Deathcaptainmarvel.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
