[edit] Traci & Terri

The girl presented in 52 is Terri Thirteen and there is little/no reference to her being anything more than a detective and looking distinctly unlike Traci.

Until there is something definitive, either in story or from DC, to say one name or the other is a mistake, it is best to treat them as separate characters. Anything else is a reader's assumption of a fact not in evidence J Greb 20:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Come to think of it, I'm not sure it was ever explicitly stated in the Superman titles that Traci's father was Dr Thirteen. Daibhid C 21:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

It don't think its was ever explicitly stated in the Superman titles, but Tales of the Unexpected makes it very clear that the Doctor and Traci Thirteen are father and daughter (which retcons Traci as only "half" Asian, which is how the Grant Morrison character describes her in Tales). Blue Beetle #16 also makes it clear that Traci and the girl who was a member of the Croatoan Society are the same individual. And the 52 story did make a reference to the Thirteen girl present there being more than an a detective: I recall Detective Chimp telling Elongated Man that she used a spell when they came upon that crime scene with the Helmet of Fate. The name "Terri" being used instead of "Traci" was probably because of conflation with her dad. --Ace ETP 01:12, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Girl13.jpg

Image:Girl13.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 ensure 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.
