Dominic Fortune's real name
His latest entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Univere A - Z #3 (2006) lists his name as Duvid Jerome T. "David" Fortunov. Since he is owned by Marvel and the name David does appear in brackets there isn't any reason to suspect that Duvid is any sort of error.
 * No problem. :)
 * I can understand how there would be some concern on your part. I've changed his real name in infobox to the full name from the handbook entry. I'm hoping this will prevent this sort of concern from coming up again. Stephen Day 21:58, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Drunken fugue
Sorry, but the statement in Doctor Who looked oddly suspicious, with the unusual use of fugue and frank use of drunken. If the statement can be sourced at a quote, it can surely be included. My apologies for the error. Freedomlinux 18:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

World's Finest

 * "After Infinite Crisis, World's Finest is an in-universe magazine about superhumans. References to 'nude quote-unquote art photos' show that it has a tabloid reputation. It's main rival is Powerhouse, a trade magazine for costumed crimefighters."
 * The problem with this sentence is that it invokes lingo particular to Wikipedia editors. Most readers won't understand what "in-universe" means. Therefore it will look to most readers like the article is saying that World's Finest in the real world became a tabloid with a real world rival magazine called Powerhouse. (By the way, "It's" should have been the possessive "Its" without the apostrophe.) Because no citation is provided for the specific real world publication in which this was mentioned, it just looks like a prank. Doczilla 19:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I deleted it because I didn't personally know how to fix it. I don't know that it's true. If it's written correctly and includes a citation, it can stay. Doczilla 19:18, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

re: Revision to Spectre--14 June
Actually... the change is really minor, but it avoids a redirect. The last wiki-link in the section, for the All-Star Squadron article, was going through the redirect All Star Squadron. Placing a hyphen ( "-" ) in bypassed the redirect and is a clean up of the link. Unfortunately, since it is only one, small character, it tends to get swamped in the text. - J Greb 20:11, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Origins of Once Upon a Time
Check out this newsgroup thread - UK TV researcher Simon Coward got his hands on a complete copy of the script, which includes both the deleted No. 86 scene (near the beginning of the episode) and the outro with the Supervisor (almost exactly as filmed). Both are transcribed in the thread.


 * Looks good, but I feel that what shows in the recently published two-volume collection of all known Prisoner scripts would be definitive. BTW, "Brian Watson" in that thread is no relation as far as I know, but I do have distant cousins in Belfast to this day, so it's possible. Speaking of him, his "my theory" about "What do you desire?," etc., being tacked on after the fact (because, although he doesn't say this there, "Degree Absolute" was--supposedly--originally intended as the finale of the first of two seasons of 13 episodes each) does in fact call the authenticity of this thread into question, as that was reported as flat fact in professionally published works on the programme decades ago, as I indicated in the posting you were responding to here. Therefore, his calling it his own, personal theory in the 21st century is literally unbelievable. And why are you not "signed" here in any way, shape or form, if only by IP number?
