  • User:Ntnon/Kirby: The (bizarrely) excised section from Jack Kirby detailling his legal and moral battles with Marvel over the return of his artwork, was apparently removed for being "opinion" and partisan and all the rest of it. Probably because it's difficult to write completely objectively about this when almost all comment and coverage has (probably rightly) condemned Marvel utterly for their behaviour towards Kirby. In any case, all comments and advice welcome - I wondered whether there were worries raised about neutrality because of the potential DC vs. Marvel angle of parts chronicling the facts about DC returning artwork before Marvel; writing letters in support of Kirby, etc. so I tried to tone those parts down somewhat.
Help welcome. :o) ntnon (talk) 03:00, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Pat Lee: User:Hyrocomics keeps on adding/rewriting the article Pat Lee, disregarding the cited controversies this artist have. The user basically leans on the side of article's subject. †Bloodpack† 13:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Gotham City Police Department: The article says in the section 'Current status of GCPD' that "Maggie Sawyer [...] has ended her relationship with former lover Toby Raines". However, none of the main DC publications seems to indicate that this is true. The last time the relationship came up was in 52 (comic book), where it's said that Toby's move to Gotham will be delayed. Where was it stated that they broke up? Was it stated at all? -- Anval (talk) 09:20, 01 February 2008 (UTC)
  • The Program (disambiguation): A user has blocked three different users' attempts to add a redlink pointing to The Programme (comics), arguing that "it isn't notable". I couldn't find anything to help in WP:MOSDAB#Red links (which only talks about what red links shouldn't be included) or WP:NB ("this guideline does not presently provide notability criteria for the following types of publications: comic books"; not that notability guidelines apply to redlinks anyway). I cited WP:RED's "In general, red links should not be removed if they link to something that could plausibly sustain an article." and he's still standing his ground, so we're at somewhat of an impasse. (Apologies for earlier uncivil wording of this post.) --DocumentN (talk) 18:17, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
