[edit] Reason for deleting wikidate overlinkage

It's per Wikipedia style guidelines. This from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29#Avoid_overlinking_dates

Avoid overlinking dates

If the date does not contain a day and a month, date preferences will not work, and square brackets will not respond to your readers' auto-formatting preferences. So unless there is a special relevance of the date link, there is no need to link it. This is an important point: simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there is a strong reason for doing so. Make only links relevant to the context for the reasons that it's usually undesirable to insert low-value chronological links.

Usage of links for date preferences

• year only. So 1974 → 1974. Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic.
  
• month only. So April → April. Generally, do not link
  
• century. So 20th century → 20th century. Generally, do not link
  
• decade. So 1970s → 1970s. Generally, do not link (Including an apostrophe [1970's] is incorrect)
  
• year and month. So April 1974 → April 1974 Generally, do not link
  
• new year and month. So April 2000 → April 2000 Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic. Presently, articles only exist for combinations from the year 2000 to current
  
• day of the week (with or without other date elements). So Tuesday → Tuesday. Generally, do not link.--Tenebrae 16:14, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion: 22 Panels That Always Work

We might include this, but I'm no pro in this topic: Wally Wood's 22 Panels That Always Work. Peter S. 14:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wally Wood as Sky Masters inker

[edit] CC of posting left at User talk:71.143.30.135

[edit] Wally Wood

It's good that you're trying to help improve the article. I'm afraid because of the name "Wood" there might be some confusion: Brothers Dick and Dave Wood were writers, not artists. Wally Wood is well-documented as the Sky Masters inker. You mention a Kirby interview, but don't site it so that it can be verified; additionally, Kirby sometimes got confused, so if he did say Dick and Dave Wood inked it, I'm sure there was an editorial comment correcting this.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Grain3.jpg

Image:Grain3.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.

[edit] Citation subheads per Wikipedia MOS

"Sources" really isn't one of the subheads Wikipedia uses, per WP:CITE. In terms of citations, the three categories and their names according to the Manual of Style are "Footnotes" or "Notes"; "References"; and "External links", "Further reading" or "Bibliography". That's the reason I changed the subheads. Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources. Thanks. --Tenebrae (talk) 03:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
