[edit] War Machine MAX

Could there be an addition of the War Machine MAX series?

Yes I think there should be (The Chuck Dixon one?) because it was controversial, being so right-wing.
Actually,I think it was Chuck Austen.

[edit] Second War Machine

Who exactly was the second War Machine, the one portrayed as a villain in Iron Man vol.3? I know that Rhodes recognized him as a former Stark employee. An update with more info on the villainous War Machine would be nice.

[edit] Should this really be the destination page for War Machine?

It strikes me that when most people think of "war machine" they think of militarism or the military industrial complex or military in general. At the same time, this is the only article with the specific title War Machine, so I am not entirely comfortable changing this page's name to something like "War Machine (Comic Book)" and creating a redirect page for "War Machine" to collect the various uses. Does anyone here have any thoughts on what the correct solution to this problem might be? Thanks. Justinpwilsonadvocate 01:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Until there are other articles that actually use the name "War Machine" (proper noun), there's no reason to move this article and create a disambig page. As it is, "War Machine" isn't mentioned a single time on Military-industrial complex. As such, the comic book character is the dominant usage of the phrase, meaning that it can stay in its place. Not a bad question, though, and it is one that I would expect (and hope) will get revisited in the future to ensure that the phrase hasn't become more common. EVula 01:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

It seems that someone has recently edited the material of this article. I've re-edited it back to what I hope is the original format, but someone may want to cross-reference it with the original format just to be sure. The Chibi Kiriyama

[edit] Better Image

The current image, as of 4/24/07, has War Machine upside-down. Certainly a better, right-side up image exists. --24.249.108.133 17:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rightside up v. Better Quality

The upside-down War Machine, however, showed a much more recent version of the character and his armor. Would that compensate enough for its wrong direction?

Still, both are War Machine. The time the image was used is pretty irrelevant to the main image of the article. If it was talking about War Machine in history, then it'd be different; but this part is simply of War Machine. BlueCanary9999 20:16, 21 June 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999
In that case, perhaps we could include it once somebody adds more info on the more recent War Machine comics
I don't get your point. It's still War Machine, new or not. BlueCanary9999 19:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999
The point they are trying to make is, the current image has Rhodes wearing outdated and destroyed armour. The new model should be used to represent War Machine as he currently is. Kontar 04:33, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ultimate War Machine.jpg

Image:Ultimate War Machine.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 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.
