Continuity
So from the US point of view, is Marvel UK an alternate continuity, part of the same Earth-616 continuity but located in Europe, or does it have any effect on continuity?

Does it matter? There's probably chatboards out there who could give an 'answer'Logan1138 15:44, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

who cares they were fukin great....


 * Marvel UK is part of the regular Marvel Universe. Characters and stories from Marvel UK have been consistently referenced in Marvel US titles, from Captain Britain and Psylocke appearing in American comics to Albion getting an entry in the Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe A to Z. -Sean Curtin 04:37, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

This issue is comprehensively discussed here.

Fair use rationale for Image:Ssmcapbrit231.jpg
Image:Ssmcapbrit231.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 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Images
All images introduced on this page have previously been used in other articles, and "fair use" rationale has been given for all of these images in the pages relating to the image files themselves (which can be found by clicking on the images). I am therefore at a complete and utter loss as to why all the images on this article have been removed and have therefore undone their removal.82.110.160.178 (talk) 14:10, 20 June 2011 (UTC) With the greatest of respect I must disagree. With the exception of Super Spider-Man and Captain Britain #231 (which while next to text regarding Captain Britain could, I freely admit, be regarded as decorative), the images were all of comics 'specifically' referenced in the text and of particular relevance to the history of Marvel UK: namely MWOM #1 (the very first Marvel UK comic), Hulk Comic #1 (the first of the new "Marvel Revolution" weeklies - which is discussed at length in the text), and The Daredevils #1 (which in the context of this article was significant in being the first new title of Bernie Jaye's tenure). WP:NFCC #8 states: "Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding". I would contend that when dealing with a visual art form such as comics the covers do "significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic". 82.110.160.178 (talk) 15:59, 20 June 2011 (UTC) I'm terribly sorry, but I'm obviously getting lost in the terminology being used here. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by pointing to the locations. If you could enlighten me and describe how it's done it would be very much appreciated (As WP:NFLISTS #4 give no indication how this might be achieved. I had previously presumed this meant merely using the Wikipedia code to point to the existing image, but since when I did this I got told repeatedly that it violated Wikipedia's policy I find it all very confusing. Wikipedia's own pages on such matters are not written as usefully and clearly as they might be.)82.110.160.178 (talk) 10:59, 22 June 2011 (UTC) Apologies, but your answer seems to me to be tautological and I don't understand it. What does "pointing to" actually mean in this context? And how is it technically achieved? (I've tried looking at various Wikipedia pages but it doesn't seem to be covered anywhere.) Thanking you in anticipation. 82.110.160.178 (talk) 13:09, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * All uses of non-free media require a separate, specific non-free rationale for that specific use. These are all absent for these images. This is a failure of WP:NFCC #10c policy. Further, the use of these images is decorative in nature. They are not referenced in the article text, and they all have their own articles elsewhere to refer to if necessary. This is a failure of WP:NFCC #8 policy. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:18, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * And since all of these images are hosted on other articles, you can point to those locations, per WP:NFLISTS #4. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:11, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * What is meant is pointing to the article where the image is hosted. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:37, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * File:Mwom1.jpg is used on The Mighty World of Marvel. So, a link to that article (which is already present on this article) via The Mighty World of Marvel . --Hammersoft (talk) 15:25, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Bernie Jay
This article currently states that Bernie Jaye took over from Dez Skinn as UK EiC whereas multiple sources I've read indicate it was Paul Neary then Ian Rimmer, and that Jaye was 'just' an editor. As the only reference for Jaye being EiC is from a fan-compiled list I've removed this for now; I am hoping to add material from these various sources to the article once I've pulled together the various bits I've found working on some Marvel UK titles. If these sources are wrong I'd naturally like to hear more for this purpose and fort curiosity as to why people like Alan Davis think differently =) BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 11:24, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
