What years was the comic in production? That's important information that this (otherwise very complete) article lacks. Fernando Rizo 19:13, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • The first issue came out in '94...can't find the date the last one was made, though, so I'm going to hold off adding that. --InShaneee 03:53, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I got the issue in my hands right now. Sez on the inside, 1998. I'm adding it. --Toquinha 02:11, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Why the removal of casting suggestions? They are a feature of every issue of Scud and all of the related spin-offs. --Toquinha 07:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
    • They really aren't all that encyclopedic...--InShaneee 21:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

You're wrong. --InShaneee 22:05, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Okay, why am I wrong? Those are your words. I'll ask on ANI. --Candide, or Optimism 22:07, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Ask away. --InShaneee 22:11, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Verifiability

According to WP:V:

1. Articles should contain only material that has been published by reputable sources. 2. Editors adding new material to an article should cite a reputable source, or it may be removed by any editor. 3. The obligation to provide a reputable source lies with the editors wishing to include the material, not on those seeking to remove it.

I am challenging the unsourced material of this article. Please include references and sources and link them to the relevant material. If not, anyone - including I - can remove anything and everything unsourced from the article. This according to the official policy of Wikipedia which falls under WP:V. --Candide, or Optimism 22:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

The source is the comic books that the article is about. --InShaneee 22:45, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't think that's a valid source, but if it is, then please add it and we shall see if it counts as a valid source. --Candide, or Optimism 22:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
...This article is about a comic book series. If it were actually true that comic books couldn't be used as a source, this wouldn't be here in the first place. --InShaneee 22:48, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Then please add the source to the article. --Candide, or Optimism 22:49, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
This article is ABOUT the source. The comic book series. The whole thing. That's the source. That's all the article is about. --InShaneee 22:50, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Please tell AdyCarter the guy who works for Minimates to stop removing links that mention these comic's new toylines! He is promoting a toy line called minimates he works for and removing other toy companies mentions from WIKI and that is being a vandel!


I dont work for any toy companies, its my personal feeling that until these products are actually released or at elast officially solicited to stores they are non encylopedic, I could announce a toyline but it means nothing. Also please note that the above unisgned talk comment is by the owner of ShockerToys who has a long history of having entire Wiki articles removed as he views it as his advertising playground. I'm not removing the line listed as yopur first wave anymore, but plastering your company over every page even vaguely related to a line you may make was rediculous. Adycarter 19:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Actually you would know more then us as you work for Minimates. As far as me I'm a wiki reader from Niagara Falls who is on board to help list info. lease don't dirty me with your crappy one sided opinions. And if something is announced all over the web and in magazines then why should it not be known on Wiki? Brings to mind a few minimates that were anounced and you placed in the wiki page but never saw the light of day.
For the millionth time "I DONT WORK FOR ANY TOY COMPANIES". I still disagree that "intent to make an item" counts as encylopedic, hasnt ShockerToys just un-announced some of the figures you so proudly added to the Wiki? Its interesting that all your edits are ST related and you have exactly the same attitude as the last batch of ST "employees" who spammed Wikipedia. Adycarter 15:51, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Actually contributing is not spamming! I want it to be known as this is an important event for Indie Comics. Please go promote your minimates and stop editing this page.
Someone else is reverting your edits not me. Adycarter 09:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Issue #21

On robschrab.com, Schrab has a picture of Scud saying "I'll do it" underneath a title that says "SCUD #21" followed by "more to come." See http://www.robschrab.com/scud-21/ . This is a huge breakthrough, and should possibly be included in the article. However, it may be too flimsy of information provided, though from the author himself. Any feedback?

The best we could do is include exactly what was posted, with no speculation about what it could mean. This DOES sound cool, though. --InShaneee 13:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
