[edit] Proposed move to Nemesis (Malibu Comics)

It doesn't appear to be that problematic, it is a red link at the moment, and the current title is too unwieldy. Hiding Talk 22:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opinions

Comment/Question Is the primary reason for the move to simplify the article name? From reading it, it sounds as if the character is co-owned by both Malibu and Marvel, in which case I'd say the current name is appropriate, if admittedly unwieldy. Based on the disambiguation page for Nemesis, I see the articles for the other two comics characters named Nemesis are called Nemesis (DC Comics) and Nemesis (Marvel Comics) respectively, which seems to set a precedent. I agree none of the above should be called "Nemesis (comics)" since that could be construed as partisanship. Obviously if the character is solely owned by Malibu this is not an issue, and the move should happen. -Markeer 14:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

The name is not to assert ownership, it is to clarify ambiguity between the articles. Article names, and certainly disambig phrases, the bit in brackets, should try to be as short as possible. So I think just using Malibu serves both purposes, people looking for the character will associate it with Malibu, and it's shorter than the current, more correct but against guidance title. If we can get a shorter disambig phrase that people will recognise, we should use it. Hiding Talk 12:29, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

• Move to Nemesis (Ultraverse) - Marvel owns Malibu, but Malibu published comics prior to that ownership. Marvel has never published any comics with Nemesis under the Marvel banner. The character, more accurately, appears in comics published by both companies under the "Ultraverse" banner. --Chris Griswold 16:47, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I am assuming this is resolved, if it is not, please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks --liquidGhoul 00:17, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duplication of non-public domain material

Strangely enough, this current version of the article is pretty much a duplication of the external link included. I read those site's mailing list and I am pretty sure they do not want such duplication. That also applies to the pictures. I propose reverting to a stub and (hopefully) giving it some original, public domain "meat" from that point on. Luis Dantas 17:32, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nemesise2.jpg

Image:Nemesise2.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.
