Nix 2nd pic?
If no one's got any objections, I think we can nix the second pic now. The first one should be MORE than sufficient, and layoutwise the article should look nicer. --InShaneee 16:55, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Verifiability
According to WP:V:

1. Articles should contain only material that has been published by reputable sources.

2. Editors adding new material to an article should cite a reputable source, or it may be removed by any editor.

3. The obligation to provide a reputable source lies with the editors wishing to include the material, not on those seeking to remove it.

I am challenging the unsourced material of this article. Please include references and sources and link them to the relevant material. If not, anyone - including I - can remove anything and everything unsourced from the article. This according to the official policy of Wikipedia which falls under WP:V. --Candide, or Optimism 22:44, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * The sources are the comic books he appears in. Being a comic book character, and all. --InShaneee 22:46, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * If the source is a valid one, then please include it in the article (as is required). --Candide, or Optimism 22:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Of COURSE comics are a valid source. That's why this article is here at all. --InShaneee 22:48, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * But if you use a comic book as a source when writing about that same comic book, is it not original research? Because it is you who interpret the book, comic, or movie, and write about it. Should I ask on ANI? --Candide, or Optimism 22:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * You're going to anyway, since you continue to think that people there are going to help you troll. And no, summarizing the events of a book in my own words is not 'original research'. --InShaneee 22:54, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice try, Anittas. CovenantD 22:50, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Moreover, from WP:OR

Research that consists of collecting and organizing information from existing primary and/or secondary sources is, of course, strongly encouraged. All articles on Wikipedia should be based on information collected from published primary and secondary sources. This is not "original research"; it is "source-based research", and it is fundamental to writing an encyclopedia.

Abin vs William Hand
I'm not sure where this would go but in Green Lantern #17 (April 2013) Abin shows up due to a blip in the time stream. He finds himself confronting a puzzled Coast City citizen named William Hand. Both just want to go home before reality goes back to what it should be. Lots42 (talk) 20:16, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Query
IS there any suggestion anywhere that the name is derived from the French language phrase "mais bien sur"? Brooksindy (talk) 20:37, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
