[edit] Comic book listing

I just noticed a page called "list of comicbooks" and I noticed Vampirella and Harris not being mentioned. So I am sure this list is not being maintained. Is this list a focus of this WikiProject Comics group? --boomvavavoom 12:00, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Harris and Vampirella have since been added. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 17:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Biblical"

A sentence in the introduction previously read:

"She learned that she was, in fact, the daughter of Lilith, the Biblical first wife of Adam from the Book of Genesis."

I eliminated the word "Biblical," because Lilith does not appear in the Book of Genesis, and the idea of Lilith as Adam's first wife is nowhere to be found in the Bible. Ergo, Lilith is not the "biblical" first wife of Adam, but the "first wife of Adam according to various extra-biblical mythologies." The Lilith article actually makes this quite clear.

What about Vampi?

Um, that one sentence may have been changed, but it clearly says in two other places on this page that Lilith is from Genesis. I'm going to go fix them now. Same reason. Lilith is not in the Bible, she is part of a separate story that someone placed in the same setting. A completely separate part of the Bible, not dealing with creation, mentions a demon or something named Lilith once in passing, giving no details about its back-story whatsoever. That's hardly the same as the book opening with her, as a woman, getting thrown out of Eden. --67.110.209.218 04:43, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Feminist?

On 6 September 2006, someone from 24.116.236.9 added Vampirella and Stripperella to the category 'Fictional Feminists.' Female superheros, sure - but has Vampirella ever been a feminist in any overt sense? Wyvern 16:39, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pixilated image

The SHB image, blown up to regulation 250px, is pixilated and breaking up. A better image is needed. --Tenebrae 16:13, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editor posting edit-war threats and insults

User:Cculber007 anonymously posted threats and insults on my talk page here, threatening an edit war calling me "Coward dolt" and promising, I will continue fighting against you as you are deaf discrimianting [sic] dolt. ... Get lost."

This about his putting up a superhero box image that, as I did note in my edit summary, goes against the policy at Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/editorial guidelines#Superhero box image, which states that standard is to use "the character standing straight with no background," and not images "that have more characters and/or objects than the subject of the article," which should only be used as secondary choice and preferably "by cropping, obscuring and/or painting out the other characters".

The image of Vampirella #1, aside from being historically significant and by the character's primary artist-designer, has virtually no background. The highly volatile User:Cculber007's image has a hugely cluttered background and though a fine Art Adams image for the article itself, isn't appropriate for the superherobox. --Tenebrae (talk) 14:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, this isn't acceptable behaviour from User:Cculber007 but this message doesn't belong here either. This is the talk page for the article. Hiding T 20:14, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
