Your recent edits to the Spider-Man's powers and equipment and Spider-Carnage articles have been reverted because they contained strength stats taken out of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. It is against Wikipedia policy to use power ratings taken out of certan encyclopedic comics, such as the OHOTMU. Those stats appear only in certain publications controlled by Marvel Comics or in industry trade publications, such as Wizard Magazine, only with the permission of Marvel Comics. Since Wikipedia doesn't have the permission of the company, using them in the articles could potentially be construed by them as a violation of copyright, which could result in them seeking legal action. The only legitimate way to add a strength stat into the article is if the stat has appeared in a regular, monthly issue of a comic book, which is fair game. An example of this is Secret Wars vol.1 #4 in which it states that the Hulk supports the weight of a 150 billion ton mountain. Furthermore, after en editor has been made aware of the policy concerning comic book power stats, and he or she continues to add them nonetheless, it will be considered vandalism and will be reverted. Persistent violation of the policy, just as any other Wikipedia policy, can result in an editor being temporarily blocked or, in very extreme cases, permanently blocked.Odin&#39;s Beard 23:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
