[edit] Merge (centralized discussion)

[edit] Merge proposal - Zombie (John Doe) into Zombie (comics)

They're both Marvel characters, they're both relatively minor - and there's precedent for multiple characters with same name / similar background to share a page in that situation. --Mrph 19:37, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Merge --Mrph 19:37, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge. They are both owned and published by the same company. A good example of something similar being done is Gorilla-Man. Stephen Day 23:47, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and rename. Both are from the same company. Other companies can use the word, though, so call this Zombie (Marvel Comics). Doczilla 01:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zombie (Marvel Comics)

Zombie (Marvel Comics) now exists; shouldn't this and the other Zombie article be merged with it? It's the most complete of the three. --Erikacornia 18:43, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Copied here from the original page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DragonHawk (talk • contribs) 23:25, 27 April 2007 (UTC).

Zombie (comics) and Zombie (John Doe) are also floating around out there. Not clear if they offer much worth saving, but they all refer to Marvel Comics characters.--Erikacornia 18:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd save maybe the Zombie of Ancient Egypt info. The rest of the information in both those articles already seem to be in this article, in expanded and copy-edited form. Those other two articles can them be submitted for deletion, assuming that's the consensus. --Tenebrae 02:49, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Centralized discussion

Woo. It appears we have no less than three articles on the same basic character: Zombie (comics), Zombie (Marvel Comics), and Zombie (John Doe). I know nothing about the subject matter, so I cannot even begin to have an opinion on what should go where. But I figured I could at least facilitate some centralized discussion. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 23:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Good call. The article Zombie (Marvel Comics) is the most encyclopedic and comprehensive, and actually contains a lot of the information already of those other two. I'd suggest judiciously taking relevant info from the other two and blending them into Zombie (Marvel Comics). --Tenebrae 02:36, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Feb. 6 edits

I rv to the last version by User:204.153.84.10, except for one addition to "Powers and abilities", as the bulk of it was a lengthy, disallowed "blow-by-blow" synopsis of a single issue. As well, rv'd edits that erroneously made the FCB past tense (Wiki style for descriptions of fiction is present-tense), and for non-WP:CITE/WP:SOURCE changes for reference-section formatting. --Tenebrae (talk) 03:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Menace5 AtlasComics.jpg

Image:Menace5 AtlasComics.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.
