See Talk:Spider-Man for some background on why there is both a Spider-Man and page and The Amazing Spider-Man page. -mhr 21:58, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)

It's still ridiculous. Just because separate entries for the same character/comic-book/comic-strip has been set up doesn't mean they should not be combined. It's simply confusing. Turn this into a redirect to Spider-Man. Kaijan 22:53, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
This article will remain separate from Spider-Man. Spider-Man has had many comic books devoted to him (Spectacular Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man, Amazing Spider-Man). Each one of these comic book runs will have its own article as it should, while the character himself, separate from the various series devoted to him, has his own article.

[edit] Bibliography of all amazing spiderman issues

Can someone do a Bibliography of all the issues of the amazing spiderman. From Vol.1,2,and 3. Also the annuals, and specials in the series.

I agree, there are 536 issues to date. I think the bibliography should be classified as begining with the amazing spider-man #1, and include all the 1963 Series Issues. Next, it should note the 1999 series, and thirdly the 2003 series should be outlined and listed as well. ALSO: the picture on the page should be changed to the MOST RECENT "the amazing spider-man" issue, to keep it recent. --Ccolling 23:27, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External link slow

The Marvel Database Project linked to from the article is cool but almost unreachable due to slowness... -Philwiki 19:01, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Issue252.jpg

Image:Issue252.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 10:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Linking to external wikia

Wikipedia policy is never to link to outside wikia as a reference source, and to include only consensus-approved outside wikia under "External links" only. Inline links within the article to Marvel's wiki is inappropriate and against policy. That and DC's wiki are only approved for listing as "External links".

I'd like to also alert fellow editors to the heavy use of POV original-research essaying throughout this article, which is similarly inappropriate. It's such a long article, and involves such a high-profile character, that will take several editors to bring it up to standard in a reasonable period of time. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] One More Day

This section contained hugely overwritten and overlong plot detail, disallowed per WPC guidelines and exemplar, and also per Wikipedia MOS since the section topic links to its own, separate article. It also contained uncited "apparently" statements (WP:NOR speculation), and used incorrect cover-dates. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:21, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1990s

Removed lots of personal critical analysis and WP:NOR essaying. Wiki policy is that we state only verifiable facts, properly cited. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:40, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SHB

This is an article about the comic-book series, not about the character Spider-Man. The SHB should depict the first issue. That is encyclopedic, historically significant, non-decorative, and justifiable under FUR. Thought and comments from other editors, please. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree... Start with the beginging instead of the "most recent, significant issue". - J Greb (talk) 20:28, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
With no comments otherwise after nearly two weeks, I will make the change. Please do not revert without calling for community comment. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:44, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
