"Eating sickness"[edit]

When I compiled the list of Krypton references, the "eating sickness" that killed Lara (Kal-El's mother) escaped me. Anyone recognize it? BryanEkers 01:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Noteworthiness issues"[edit]

Regarding the questioning of the value of the "background details" section, I'd have to point out that the reason this particular story is significant at all is because of the considerable care Moore and Gibbons put into it, as is the case for most of their projects. After all, the basic premise is not particularly original, nor is the climax. I think the story appeals to longtime Superman fans because of the references. Take them out and the value of this article evaporates and you may as well reduce it to a paragraph and stick it on the animated episode's page, if it has one.

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

Image:Fortheman.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.

Zor-El[edit]

Zor-El's own page describes him as Jor-El's younger (not twin) brother, but I've seen conflicting stories in various DC comics. Is there a definitive reference? I'd dig out my Who's Who in the DC Universe but it's buried in the closet somewhere. 24.202.251.240 (talk) 04:41, 17 September 2008 (UTC) (aka Bryan Ekers)[reply]

"Unnecessary"[edit]

Without the details and the obvious care that Moore/Gibbons took to reference and remain consistent with established Superman and DC canon (as it then existed), the entire article is as meaningless as one dedicated to Superman Annual #10 or #12. After all, the story itself is not particularly original, it contains no significant character development for Superman and the other characters, and the ending is not especially unpredictable. 24.201.152.109 (talk) 00:47, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've just deleted the list of "in panel X, there is a Y" examples as trivia - if the depth of these references is (as an earlier editor says on this page) "the reason this particular story is significant at all", then we should say that, rather than expecting the unfamiliar reader to realise that referencing eleven particular aspects of earlier canon is groundbreaking. --McGeddon (talk) 11:01, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Outside references section[edit]

Two problems (the same as noted a few times before really): 1. Some editors don't know the difference between references IN the work to the OUTSIDE (which is what outside refernces are) versus reference TO the work by later works. 2. Collecting the outside references indiscriminately with no secondary source means that the long list fails notability, and amounts to trivia. (The same likely applies to the reference to the work in the same section if any do not have secondary sources to support them.) ZarhanFastfire (talk) 06:37, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
