Talk:Spider-Woman (Gwen Stacy)

Sense and sensibility
Does it make sense to have a Spider-Woman (Gwen Stacy) article and seperate Spider-Gwen? They should be merged Rachelskit (talk) 14:14, 25 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Maybe Spider-Gwen could be merged here with its info still intact but not vice versa.  Jhenderson  7 7 7  14:55, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This is an example of what it will look like. Jhenderson  7 7 7  20:20, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree. Spider-woman (Gwen Stacy) is her name, but Spider-Gwen is the publication, which can merged. I think it looks good the way you did it! But, we should have a direct here from the Spider-Gwen page. Rachelskit (talk) 21:39, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok I will boldly try to redirect it but if I get reverted I ain't going to edit war by any means. I am pretty much neutral about it. The positive thing about it is it could improve this article. Jhenderson  7 7 7  16:26, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Hah, nobody wants an edit war!I know editors don't like it when they create a page and it gets deleted, but it makes sense to merge these pages. Rachelskit (talk) 16:59, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Spoke too soon! It got reverted. Jhenderson 7 7 7  02:51, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I think there should keep the page separate with the character page to be enhanced with her fictional character biography. As for the Spider-Gwen page, I was thinking we should add a character section to it so that it can list it's characters from Earth-65 including the full details of the Earth-65 characters that don't have Earth-616 counterparts. Any objections? --Rtkat3 (talk) 03:43, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Wouldn't there be a lot of duplication? Also confusion when people are searching for Spider-Gwen and they find two separate pages?

The comic history would be listed on the comic series page. It was added to the Marvel Multiverse template to represent Earth-65. I am suggesting that we add a character section to talk about the brief info on the Earth-65 characters that have Earth-616 counterparts and a detailed information of those Earth-65 characters that don't have Earth-616 counterparts like the Bodega Bandit, a variation of the Yancy Street Gang, and the organization S.I.L.K. which is run by the Earth-65 version of Cindy Moon. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:06, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Collected Editions
Does anybody know the collected editions involved?Rachelskit (talk) 17:01, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Faint praise
Is it really notable to be listed 7th out of a list of 10? Gwen Stacy's Spider-Woman was named number seven in a list of the best Spider-Men by Newsarama.[45]

I thought maybe it could be improved by adding context and mentioning that the list was published in March 2016 and the character was relatively new but the very next sentence has a list from April 2016 calling her the 2nd greatest alt-Spidey. I suggest dropping this faint praise entirely as it is counter-productive. -- 109.77.209.152 (talk) 02:50, 14 October 2018 (UTC)


 * It is indeed notable that she is listed there. We might not need to add the rank because the list has updated itself as proven by the archive. But I still feel that the source and a mention belongs. Jhenderson  7 7 7  03:58, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Reviews
Aren´t the reviews a bit one-sided? The character might have gotten mostly positive reviews but it´shard to believe there was no negative criticism anywhere.77.179.172.214 (talk) 11:33, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

She appeared some were else before into the spider verse
Gwen but and alternate version appears first to my knowledge in “The Amazing Spider-man” series 68.100.230.171 (talk) 13:54, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Spelling of her name
Last I checked, Spider-Gwen/Ghost-Spider's name was more-or-less consistently spelled "Gwendolyn Stacy" without an e, both by her creators and all but one subsequent writer.2001:569:F875:3D00:210E:D96F:44F7:8C1E (talk) 2001:569:F875:3D00:210E:D96F:44F7:8C1E (talk) 03:04, 10 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Considering that both Latour and Seeley both spell her full name as "Gwendolyn" rather than "Gwendolyne." While there is a 2019 tumblr reply from McGuire that suggests that dropping the "e" is a typo, in 2020 she chalked it up to different conventions and editors: https://seananmcguire.tumblr.com/post/612951587233710080/ive-noticed-that-in-ghost-spider-gwen. In that context, I'm inclined to change the article to use the former as it's ostensibly more common at present. YanA (talk) 02:51, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
 * There's an uncited comment in the info box that Latour stated that her name does include the "e", but I have been unable to verify the veracity of the claim. YanA (talk) 03:07, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
