Welcome to Wikipedia!

I just wanted to let you know that you have the right idea in what you did regarding the Fanboy article, but you didn't quite do it in the right place. You posted a comment on the article page, but you really should have posted it on the talk page (i.e., Talk:Fanboy). I've copied it here for you, in case you want to repost it on the talk page yourself:

I thought the term "fanboy" meant, within the comic book world, that you were the type of collector that cared nothing of the content of a comic book (the story) you only cared of the comic book's future dollar value. In other words a "fanboy" didn't read comics they only "collected" comics as a form of investment. Another example of this would be, when the practice of comics being shipped pre-bagged (ie. McFarlane's Spider-Man #1), a "fanboy" would only buy a copy (or several copies) of the bagged edition never to be opened, while a "true" comic book collector would definitely buy a copy to open and read.

I stopped collecting comics in the early 90's and I can not recall where I heard the definition as I just described it. If I am wrong feel free to tell me. Does anyone else remember this version of the definition of the term "fanboy"? (Also see the comic book "Lobo's Back #1".)DrNvrmore 22:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC) Thanks!
