[edit] Non-encyclopedic tone

This article needs a rewrite very badly, to streamline the purple prose and more importantly to make the writing more enclopedid and less fannish. For instance, the following sentence is not in keeping with Wikistyle:

At this second meeting, the five youngsters decided to become a team... and the Teen Titans were born!

Also, the word "Alas" and others throughout are non-NPOV, and need to be addressed. - Tenebrae 21:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Justice League Unlimited

Template:Spoilers I've heard in a recent episode of Justice League Unlimited that aired in the UK that Speedy appeared along with the other Seven Soldiers of Victory. Should this be noted? He did, with Green Arrow. So yes.

[edit] Titans Tower plagiarism

This article seems to be copied almost entirely from here. I'm not sure what the thing to do here is, as I'm pretty new to Wikipedia. Lilyha 00:48, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I tried to do a rewrite to make the two articles different, but this one still might be too derivative. Lilyha 15:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Good work, but there are still quite a few paragraphs that are lifted almost word-for-word from Titans' Tower. I've rewritten the first half, but the second half (starting with Cheshire) still needs a deeper rewrite. TheronJ 14:34, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red Arrow

it's official I think. Why else would they have this [1]?Brian Boru is awesome 00:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, I also believe it is official. Hal called him that, his name appears as such on his new DC Direct figure, so that is official enough for most. --CmdrClow 06:09, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Here's hoping that in August it doesn't ship as "Arsenal"... Also in JLofA #4 Hal does 2 separate stutters: pg 9, panel 4 "R--Arsenal, it's not gonna hol--!" and pg 10, panel 1 "R--Red Arrow, he's got a Starro!" Both after calling Roy by name, pg 6 panel 2. The by play from pg 10 on implies that the name stuck, at least in Hal's mind. It would have been nice if it had been reinforced in #5 or the appearance in GL. — J Greb 06:42, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

DC is highly promoting the JLA figures in their monthly books. I saw it today in 52 and Batman. In the ad, he's clear;y labelled Red Arrow, and has an R on his belt buckle. The name change is for sure. --CmdrClow 10:20, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

And promotional items can possibly change, even the in house adds. If you want to add a paragraph under publishing history, with the solicitation spoiler tag, that as of the 1st quarter of 2007 DC is promoting the character as "Red Arrow", fine. But changing the infobox or adding information that makes it looks like the name change has already happened should wait for the story where the name change officially happens to be published. — J Greb 16:30, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Owned. --CmdrClow 23:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

In this interview, the man interviewing Meltzer refers to Roy as Red Arrow and is not corrected by the writer. He is also referred to as Red Arrow in an earlier point of the article. --CmdrClow 10:02, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

In Justice League of America #7 he recieves the new coustme and takes the name Red Arrow--Jdarryl 22:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Powers & Abilities/ Moo Gi Gong

Shouldn't Roy have a P&A section in his profile just like all rest of the Arrow family has? Also it has been stated that Roy is a master of Moo Gi Gong and Archery, shouldn't these be added to his profile especially the Moo Gi Gong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.88.156.230 (talk) 16:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
