Talk:Shield (Archie Comics)

!mpact's Shields
How about adding something about The Legend of the Shield by DC under its !mpact logo? (If that's listed elsewhere, someone needs to link to that article & correct the link in the Impact Comics article.) I would, but (a) I don't have the time right now, and (b) I've forgotten more about the 3 Impact Shield's than I remember. --Joe Sewell 18:28, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Note: On Shield's son from the 1960s Radio/Mighty Comics, the first name was Bill, not Bob. Please correct this. You can verify that information on this yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fly_papers16/files/. You can also verify it on the link for Shield III you attached to the article. Also, I don't believe that Shield III (or at least as you have him numbered here, the Bill Higgins Shield) was a part of the "new" Archie heroes line-up in the 1980s. I believe I read somewhere that he had joined the airforce, but, either way, he did not participate in the new adventures in the 1980s. Only the Original Shield and Lancelot Strong Shield appeared in those adventures. Lance eventually "died" in the pages of his own magazine and after that only the original Shield was featured. 68.174.43.224 16:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Note 2: I made the changes that I mentioned in my last post. Check the document.68.174.43.224 17:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

SETTING UP AND ACCOUNT

How does one go about getting an account here? The reason I ask is that I know somewhat of the Archie super heroes (or ultra heroes as they called them in the 60s). I made some changes to this article sometime ago (see the two notes above), but I notice that some of the Archie heroes do not have listings, for instance Steel Sterling, Red Rube, Bob Phantom. All the MLJ/Archie heroes have a rich history. I'd like to be able to start pages on these heroes and add more depth to some of the others. Please let me know how to go about it. (My user name might be different from the one on the notes above because I might be using a different computer from the one I used then.) Thanks. 24.168.135.28 17:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I dropped you a note on your talk page. (Emperor 22:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC))

Thanks. I'll take a stab at it when I get back from vacation in mid-October. I'm looking forward to updating the Archie/MLJ characters, such as Bob Phantom, the Web, Mr. Justice, etc. I know that some pages on some of the characters already exist, but the details are very scarce.24.168.132.18 17:50, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi this is user 24.168.135.28 above, though I am sure I'm at a different isp at the moment. I went to my user page to finally begin to set it up and I found out that it has been deleted. I followed the link to the page that is supposed to tell me why it was deleted, but I didn't find any specific reference as to exactly why mine was deleted. I suppose that it was because I haven't accessed it or started the process in over a year. I do want to begin setting up a page, however all the instructions that you sent me are gone along with the page. Would you be so kind as to reformat that page for me so that I can start the project that I had intended. I would really appreciate it. 70.21.183.3 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 12:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Name
The naming convention for comic characters is that this should be Shield (Archie Comics). Any objections to my moving it? (Emperor 22:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC))


 * For those wondering this is the basis for this: Naming conventions (comics). Which is pretty clear. I'll make the move in a few days if there are no good reasons put up against it (or I forget). (Emperor 04:33, 12 September 2007 (UTC))

Public domain or not?
Current article text reads: "In 1999, Joe Simon and the Kirby estate regained ownership of the character by terminating their shares of the copyright. The character is currently available for licensing - something which no one took advantage of as of this writing." What can this possibly mean? Do they own the character, or have they no share in its copyright? What? Mandrakos (talk) 03:06, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Infobox image
In no way, shape or form should the minor, 2015 version of the character go in the infobox, the guidelines for which specify the most longstanding and usual version of the character. Having the most recent version smacks of promotion. Do not revert to the most recent version without discussion here, as per WP:BRD and WikiProject:Comics guidelines.--Tenebrae (talk) 13:24, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
