This page currently has three scans of Dawnstar's appearances:
In a revision today, I placed the third scan noted above under "Recent appearances," as it relates to the (currently spoiler-warned) reappearance of Dawnstar in the current "Lightning Saga" crossover story.
The first scan noted above is, I suggest, the best choice for the "superhero box" of standard information. It's a more encyclopedic reference, as it has one of the few unobscured views from the comics of all of Dawnstar's limbs and outfit elements, from her wings to her boots.
For this reason, and because bots have been removing unlinked art from Wikipedia's database, I've restored the LaRocque/Mahlstedt art to the information box. - Greybird 11:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Dawnstar originally appeared in the April 1977 issue (#226) of what was then officially named (by its mailing statement) "Superboy," but which had added to the cover, in an equally large logotype, "and the Legion of Super-Heroes." (This last phrase was added to the official name in 1978.) In that transitional period, Superboy was shown as a prominent Legion member, but the Legion had, in effect, taken over the comic which bore the character's name.
I contend that completeness as to this transition calls for citing the subsidiary and unofficial, yet prominent and often-referenced, cover title wording in square brackets. I have thus partially undone the edit of 16 August 2008 that had removed two such uses.
(A related note: Other reference sources inaccurately cite issue 225 of this title for Dawnstar's first appearance. She was mentioned, as "Dawn Star," to be coming in the next issue, but did not actually appear until issue 226.) - Greybird ( talk) 10:05, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
A reference to The DC Comics Encyclopedia was added on 1 October 2008. This book, though authorized by DC Comics, has several elements in the cited reference that are highly questionable in their focus and accuracy.
In light of these elements, I believe it is much less misleading to not use such a source. I have thus removed the reference to this book.
Although such references are extremely desirable in Wikipedia entries, to note a poorly formed, framed, or researched source can be worse than to note none at all.
I entirely expect that this will be disagreed with, and I hope that any who contend that this should be restored would provide their rationales below. - Greybird ( talk) 11:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Why is this article included in Category:LGBT superheroes? There's a line in the article that states: "Several members of the JSA and JLA tracked Dawnstar's flight ring to Thanagar, but she had left it as a promise to return to a woman strongly implied to be her lover." but I'd suggest that "implied" isn't the same as fact. -- 24.212.139.102 ( talk) 15:39, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
