Comics Cleanup
You are one of the best editors working on comics-related articles on Wikipedia. I'd like to inite you to join the new WikiProject I've started: WikiProject Comics Cleanup. Similarly to how the WP:CMC collaboration works to elevate articles to Featured Article status, the primary goal of this new project is to coordinate group cleanup efforts on articles, copy editing, condensing, and providing citations where needed. The secondary goal is to remind good editors that there are other good editors who have the same goals.

This will also help prepare articles for Wikipedia 1.0 assessment, a project I am currently working on pulling together for WP:CMC. I'd really appreciate your membership, but I do understand if you find yourself to be too busy to participate. --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  )  18:58, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

SF
Actually English is my first language. And as this is a wiki, you may go ahead and change things as you wish; I will not reverse my edits, but I won't edit war with you either. My opinion is that "science fiction" does not have to be hyphenated, and I also don't agree that this is a "black and white" rule of English grammar. (Why don't we see "military-fiction" and "crime-fiction" and the like?) Additionally there seemed to be a consensus towards non-hyphenation, as the instances of "science fiction" far outnumbered "science-fiction", even when used as modifiers. As I said to Hayford, I don't wish to argue about this, so this will be my last message. Cheers. --Fang Aili talk 18:26, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * As I stated before, I do not wish to discuss this further. This is a wiki, and I have stated before that I will not edit war with you, and you are free to revert my edits as you wish. I even encourage you to acquire AWB, which will make this easier for you. My life is simply too short to argue about this. So go ahead and spend 5 minutes and revert me if you want to. It will not take you long with AWB. I consider this matter closed and I will not participate in mediation or arbitration over so slight a matter. --Fang Aili talk 20:59, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Regarding edit summary
I fail to understand the use of such irony in this edit summary. Surely you didn't think mocking my edits (i am not referring to the "ungrammatical" part) would cheer me up. I was offended, of course and my suggestion is to take a look here and think about it. Kamikaze 21:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

The so-called "sockpuppetry case" you just discovered is actually the result of a username change request. You might wanna check the logs on suicidal zero. The so-called quotation was completely needless unless you wanted to use an ironical nuance. My comment on your talk page was not insulting but rather an attempt to communicate my offence. Kamikaze 21:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

B4 someone changed my username, I had set my signature in "my preferences" as "kamikaze". maybe this is the redirect problem. Regarding talk page, I must confess I am somewhat unfamiliar with the usernamechange procedure. I thought it would be automatically transferred to the new user and since my username change took place quite recently I am still thinking. Regarding mispelling of "offense" I can only say this: If you had had the patiente to verify your statements b4 posting, I wouldn't have to tell you right now that both forms are correct. Now that's even more ironic.Kamikaze 21:59, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Stop removing my comment on my user talk page (aka vandalizing it)
Please stop modifying or removing my comments on my own talk page. In these edits 1, 2 you've removed my comments. You might have as well added your contributions without removing mine. Note that according to WP:VAND, this could be considered vandalism. Kamikaze 22:13, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I have never, ever removed anyone's comments. Don't you dare accuse someone falsely. -- Tenebrae 23:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Proof - i'm not accusing falsely. do the links below mean anything to you?
 * 1,2
 * No proof - Yes, you are. Let me ask you something: Did you run across the term "edit conflict" at any time you were writing something on that Talk page? -- Tenebrae 23:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I did. I'd suggest you demonstrate convincingly you did not know you were removing my comments whilst editing. I maintain my accusations. We'll talk again tommorow. Kamikaze 23:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Since you admit, and I respect and thank you for your truthfulness, that you saw edit conflicts, then you know your accusation against me is groundless. (One cannot, by the way, prove a negative, i.e., one cannot prove one did not do something, only that one did something.)


 * Look, let's just drop this. If my sock-puppet belief was a misunderstanding based on a suspicious interpretation of evidence, I apologize. If you're good with that, and you're willing to do likewise about your accusation, I'll go formally withdraw my complaint. --Tenebrae 23:59, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


 * CC from User talk:Kamikaze


 * Your sock-puppet belief IS indeed a misunderstanding. As for my accusation, I am willing to apologize for it when you have withradwn your complaint. Kamikaze 06:49, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Done and done. Sorry for my assumption of bad faith. I hope you believe me when I say I truly wasn't being sarcastic in that very first edit summary, and genuinely only meant to quote you for strict, verbatim accuracy. It's good we both care about the subject of comics, though, and care about getting the details right. Wishing you many happy Wiki edits, -- Tenebrae 02:16, 16 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Likewise, I formally withdraw my complaint and I apologize for my original assumption.Kamikaze 05:36, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Notability (comedy)
I've created Notability (comedy) to help editors in deciding the notability of comedy- and humor-related articles. You are an editor whom I respect and admire. I would appreciate any commentary you may be able to provide to help hammer it into shape. --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 09:08, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Fang Alii
Thanks for your support! I sent the whole package over to an administrator that I share some interests with and hope that he will step in as much as he can. I'll keep you up to date. As you say, I don't want to make an enemy of an adminstrator either, but there are bad apples in every barrel. A couple days ago I ran across a Wiki site that listed Admins. who had been banned or blocked or stripped of their rank. So it can happen. Not in a case as minor as this, I would say, but maybe it will make her think twice the next time before doing such a sweeping edit.... Hayford Peirce 03:50, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Righto. I thought that was a very good message you left (two of them, actually).  She obviously thinks she can stick her head in the sand and that the situation will vanish.  I'll goose my admin. that I sent all the stuff to and see if he will do anything -- he was away on vacation for a while and is still catching up.... Hayford Peirce 22:01, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

WP:RFAr
There's no need to draw non-responsive anon editors to arbcom. It appears he has never been blocked at all. Bringing this to the attention of an admin (like me) on WP:ANI or WP:AIV is probably a better course. I will see how long his edits extend and how many are truly vandalism. I'll report it to the arbcom if I block him (maybe it gets his attention). Arbcom is not for simple vandalism. - Mgm|(talk) 09:20, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I blocked 82.108.12.52 for 48 hours for his vandalistic edits. However, the photographic memory he mentions in connection with Daredevil appears to have some merit. I'm sure you're more qualified than I am on the issue. Please research it and include it in the article if it's not already mentioned. - Mgm|(talk) 09:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Attn: Tenebrae
It's me, 71.115.212.229. I recently had to add that which you deleted to the Black Panther In Other Media. That would again be the fact of his appearances in The Avengers: United They Stand Comic Tie In. Yes they are comics, but they set in the animated series timeline, hence "other media". If you feel the need to delete it, can you at least move it somewhere on the page where it would be suitable? Thank you. '71.115.225.100' 4:22 AM, 19 September

Spammer
He's only inserted the link once today, and hasn't added it back even after it was reverted. I'll keep an eye on his contribs, and if he starts up again like he did two days ago I'll get rid of him again. -- Steel 19:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, in the event that I forget or I'm not online at the time, feel free to warn the guy with Spam3 and Spam4 and have the guys over at WP:AIV deal with it. -- Steel 20:14, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

the punisher trivia edit
good day i checked your trivia edits on the punisher article and i have but some points id like to express particularly on this one:

According to one-time Punisher editor Don Daley, responding in the letter column of The Punisher (1987 series) #98, the Punisher's version of justice is classically based in the Middle-Eastern Code of Hammurabi dictum "an eye for an eye".


 * you changed the then-editor to one-time editor. i think the word one-time is vague, which could easily mean "being an editor for one occassion" when in fact don daley had a long stint being a punisher editor.
 * i would also like to question of adding the "Middle-Eastern Code of Hammurabi dictum" statement. when don daley replied to that fanmail at the back of the page, he didnt mention anything like this. he just simply said "its clasically based as an eye for an eye". i took it right directly from the print of the book.

still, thanks for sharing, thoughts? †Bloodpack† argh! 19:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

''As for "classically based", an encyclopedia really can't use a famous phrase (so famous it has its own entry) and give it a vague description; Daley might not have known where it came from, but there's no reason to extend his lack of knowledge. Anyway, nice to talk to a fellow Punisher fan!--Tenebrae 19:55, 19 September 2006 (UTC)''

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bloodpack"


 * thanks for a very prompt reply, but it still confuses me when you said an encylopedia cant use a famous phrase (so famous it has its own entry) and give it a vague description (sorry but english is only my second language).
 * so you mean to say we cant quote a direct source of statement of a person as exactly as it is even when the person who said it (personally) doesnt even know or lack the knowledge where the classic came from? (kinda long huh?) =D  †Bloodpack†  argh! 20:03, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

keep it cool
sorry if i upset you but my point is, you added wordings (like hamurabi whatsoever) to a trivia which the actual source didnt have. what i only did is excerpted that actual information and incorporate it in the punisher article (no more, no less). you also stated in your edit summary if i want to undergo a mediation?, sorry but i didnt suggest anything like that you want it your way, no prob, just be cool -_-'   †Bloodpack†   argh! 21:24, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Punisher article
Please do not get into an edit war - come to the talkpage and let's discuss it ok?

--Charlesknight 21:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Asgardian
This guy's made quite a lot of edits and I don't know the first thing about comics, so it's hard for me to pass any kind of judgement unless you can elaborate on what's going on with specific diff pages. I'd actually recommend leaving a message on the administrators' noticeboard and see what other people have to say. -- Steel 15:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Dan DeCarlo
Hi, thanks for undoing Rebecca's revert of my date edit at Dan DeCarlo. She has promised several different editors that she will revert each such edit. If you look at her contributions, you will see that she has used the admin rollback tool to do exactly that.

Several editors are also complaining to her about incivility. See her talk page, and comments she has made elsewhere. Regards. bobblewik 18:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Erm
Why did you post a version of the MOS that was outdated by several months on my talk page? The current version of the MOS says nothing about "generally delinking" these things, and has been that way for several months. Rebecca 23:45, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Question for you
I reposted my Black Panther info but gave it a different section. Yes, I know it's guest appearance, but it also qualifies as another version of said character. Does the mainstream version hold a grudge against Pym, because he was injured by an early version of Ultron? No, I don't think so.

It's not so much that I'm passionate about it. It's just that whenever you see information out of place, do you always prefer deleting that info or have you ever helped to organize it? I on the other hand will help organize someones information as long as it's:
 * A- Not a rumor.
 * B- Not vandalisim.

When we first had a dispute over this, CovenantD told me that I needed to be a little more calm and polite. But he also agreed that you needed to improve your problem (That would be delete first and ask questions never). Sorry, but being a long time Wikipedian doesn't mean that everything you do is right.

In my opinion, the point of contributing information to Wikipedia is to make the page pretty informative about the subject it's on. If the person makes a mistake with the info they give, you don't nitpick at them or delete their work, you help them fix it. Again, the important thing is not about whether the person is right or wrong, but if the article is helpful and informative.

I'm sorry if I sounded harsh, but it needed to be said. I hope you will consider what I've said. Thanks for your time.

Punisher
Just for information - the Punisher IS about 60 - it's all clearly explained in the max series, dates and so on. However if they carries back over to Punisher War Journal... who knows! :) --Charlesknight 19:05, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

non-superhuman criminals?
i think "normal criminals" is direct to the point or how about, While the Punisher most often fights non-superhuman criminals...? a bit complex though, thoughts? ☼ 21:10, 21 September 2006 (UTC)


 * lol, actually i cant find any characters to use as my siggy =p anyways, i dunno about the superhuman word as directed to bullseye, i only changed the word superpowered to superhuman which are relatively the same, if you have any idea what it should be called, then feel free to alter ☼ 21:49, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

RE: Vandal Back
Hi there! Of course it's ok to let me know! Thanks a lot for the heads up! I've since blocked the IP again for a month, though users wishing to create an account may still edit. Also, if you come across more vandalism you can mention it at WP:AIV and an admin will address the problem straightaway. Cheers and thanks again! hoopydink Conas tá tú? 18:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

WikiComics naming?
Hi, sorry about any confusion with the Blazing Skull name format - I'd been working to the Exemplars guidelines on name format, which do seem to show 'real names' in bold... just wondering if I've missed something...? Thanks! --Mrph 21:55, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:DDGoldenAge5.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:DDGoldenAge5.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 04:06, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Strange message
And what exactly brought that on? I don't see that you left a message like that for Kross, Rtkat3, Tai112, or others who tweaked the Stan Lee article without entering explanations. Can you even see what I did on that article? I can, but I think it's hard to spot. Maybe I should have clicked m for minor change, but I'm very curious as to why you felt compelled to remark on this. And what "etc." are you talking about? Wryspy 04:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC) I hesitated even to ask this because you did say it nicely, after all, and I have always respected what I've seen of your contributions to Wikipedia, so I'm reluctant to rub a good contributor the wrong way, but then again, that's all the more reason that the message had me scratching my head as to what brought it on when you didn't say it to other people tweaking the same article. Wryspy 04:53, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

RE: Spammer
As much as I hate spam, this guy's last edit was 8 days ago. Ideally I need to be informed at the time. By all means ping me if he starts again (and in the mean time remember to keep warning him with Spam3 and Spam4. -- Steel 15:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
