List of X-Men members


Even though this article is very good and stable, I've listed this article for peer review because of some issues that might need improvement or third party opinion:
 * The article has cited too much primary sources. Most of the sources who are from | Marvel's official website. Many characters listed here cite only these sources. As per WP:PSTS, primary sources need to be supported by reliable secondary sources.
 * The word X-Men is repeated too many times even though it is clear from the article's title that this is list of X-Men members.
 * For example in New Mutants graduates, the word X-Men is used 4 times (section heading, sub-heading, information in sub-section and table heading).
 * This article is based on chronological order which is one of the format listed in Manual of Style/Comics. The order is decided by releasing date of comic issue in which the character joined X-Men. The order of some characters who had joined in the same issue can be in alphabetical order.
 * An example: In 1990s section, Cecilia Reyes, Marrow and Maggott joined in the same issue (X-Men, vol. 2 #70) so here we may apply alphabetical order. The result will be Cecilia, Maggott and Marrow.

 * Is this newly registered account, not related to several Wikipedia accounts – User:Sewnbegun, User:Ringardiumleviossa, User:Teedbunny that were banned for sockpupppetry? What a weird edit for someone with 3 edits especially that article is no longer page protected. The person behind those accounts might have returned perhaps through a new account.

 * I apologize for late reply. @Hotwiki Firstly, I am not related to those accounts; a checkuser can check my IP address and editing patterns. Secondly, it was almost 15 days since protection was removed when I requested peer review (though we can still participate in talk page even if it is protected). Thirdly, this is peer review so comment on content, not on contributors. Squirrell2 (talk) 09:37, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * To peer reviewer, I forget to add one more thing. There are references for the names of members. I do not know why they got added into the article but this article is about list of X-Men members, and not about list of names of X-Men members. It must be suffice to provide the link of reference (for changing names) in edit summaries. Squirrell2 (talk) 09:41, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Right, your editing patterns are surely suspicious with someone with 12 edits. Those blocked editors also denied they were the same person. User:Sewnbegun already sent the same article for peer review, if I remember correctly, right before they were blocked. If I were you, you should probably edit other articles, rather than making the same editing patterns as those editors that were blocked for sockpupppetry. Hotwiki (talk) 12:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The alphabetical order was also suggested by Sewnbegun and Teedbunny in the talk page. It is highly suspicious for someone with only 12 edits, would edit the same articles as those 3 blocked editors, merely few days after the article protection has expired. I find it such a stubborn behavior, if this is another account created by the same person who is linked to so many accounts that were already blocked for sockpupppetry, and disrupted List of X-Men members, by making drastic changes to the article and jumping through different ip accounts and at least 3 registered accounts in order to manipulate the article. I'm literally getting a flashback from this newly registed account User:Squirrell2. Hotwiki (talk) 12:49, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * As for Checkuser, I don't know how to use it. But I will surely bring this up to sockpupppetry investigation once I get more evidences. Also, I'm bringing my suspicions in this peer review now, because they were several registered accounts/IP users that were manipulating the outcome of that article. It might be happening again now that the article is no longer protected from persistent sockpuppetry.Hotwiki (talk) 13:28, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
