[edit] Merge with The Flash?

What's the difference between this page and The Flash?--Htmlism 15:17, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

More than one Flash which needs their own article. Brian Boru is awesome 15:29, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Flash230.jpg

Image:Flash230.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 Wikipedia articles 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 09:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Flash does not wear a "uniform"

The Flashes do not to wear "uniforms." The Green Lanterns, Blackhawks and Darkstars wear uniforms. The Flashes wear costumes. That should be fixed in the article for the sake of accuracy. Darin Wagner 19:07, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Darin, this is Wikipedia: be bold. I'm making this change, but next time, feel free to change the article yourself and explain it. Anyway, to clarify, a uniform is worn by members of a group to indicate group membership and/or role. The whole point is to make people look the same. Most super-hero costumes, including the Flashes, are designed to stand out individually. While designs have been handed down to successors, there's no Flash group made up of characters wearing similar outfits. --Kelson 19:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Understood. be bold. Got it. Darin Wagner 01:59, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Updates

Someone needs to update Wally as of The Flash #231. Teen Titan 2:43 18 August 2007

[edit] JLU section

Has some word weaseling. Obviously written by someone who dislikes the portrayal of Wally in the series. I'm going to make it less biased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.210.185.80 (talk) 17:49, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other Media Justice League/JL Unlimited section

There is quite a bit of info that is probably more appropriate under the Flash page and not the Wally West page. Shouldn't this be more of a Wally West as Wally West section instead of a Wally West as the Flash section? I added a couple of paragraphs where Wally appears without the Flash costume. Most of the rest is duplicated from the Flash/Other media page, and could probably be deleted or at least summarized.18:12, 6 March 2008 (UTC)~RZ 2/6/08

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Westcrisis.PNG

Thank you for uploading Image:Westcrisis.PNG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 09:23, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plunder edit.

under the section "Rogues", it said that Plunder was a mirror universe counterpart of Detective "Jared Morillo". this is false information. i just read the storyline where they introduce the two detectives yesterday, and i assure you, Plunder is Fred Chyre, the older of the two. thank you.
