I'm working on a summery for Issue #5 to go along with the plots for the previous 4 issues I found (they were under CC-BY-SA 3.0) If anyone can update it before I get to it, feel free. Jagmastercd60ce ( talk) 3:55, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
I have re-edited the Plot section to show a summary for all six issues, for a small paragraph that was there is just too short to explain the happenings in six comics (I did keep that paragraph though at the beginning as an overview). I have, however, shortened them, as beforehand, the copies from the God of War Wiki were just too long for Wikipedia standards. The version their now is suiting, though it may need some minor tweaks (e.g. grammar, rewording of a sentence, etc.) JDC808 ( talk) 18:45, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Again, the paragraph there is way too short for a summary of six comics. Even when the sixth issue comes out and there's a rewrite of it, it will still be too short. The best solution is having a summary for each comic, and there is nothing wrong with that. Thebladesofchaos, you cannot claim what we will and won't do as you did in your edit summary saying "no issue by issue retells". It was also a bit uncivil to go and say my edit was "woeful". Remember, you, nor anyone, do not own these pages. JDC808 ( talk) 17:05, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
I would also like to direct you to the Resistance comics page as it does a issue-by-issue telling and no one has had any problems with it, although I personally think #6 is a bit long, but that's beside the point. JDC808 ( talk) 17:09, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
It is not about ownership, but rather trying to keep the articles at an acceptable standard. Thebladesofchaos ( talk) 03:37, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Thebladesofchaos, you are misunderstanding the meaning of the hatnote. It is not to simply tell the readers to also check out the God of War series page, it is to direct them to a similarly named page in the case that they have accidentally stumbled upon this page. The hatnote tells the reader what this page is about and if they were looking for another page (such as the game), they can find it at, in this case, God of War (video game). THAT is the purpose of the hatnote.
It should also be noted, even if a link is a dead link, it's unnecessary to unlink because it could become a page in the future.
And please, DO NOT call me on blind reversions. I know exactly what I did for the reasons I have stated in my edit summaries. JDC808 ( talk) 14:53, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
I see you guys are edit warring over the hatnote at the article God of War (video game) (e.g. [1]).
The point of a hatnote is to direct readers to other articles with similar titles that they may have been looking for when they typed in "God of War"—it is not to supply a "chronology" of the series, nor to list every article with a similar name regardless of what the reader might be looking for. See WP:HATNOTE, particularly WP:NAMB. Someone typing in "God of War" does not get taken to that page, they get taken to the disambiguation page Gods of War. Someone typing in "God of War (series)" doesn't get taken there, either. So no hatnote at all is needed on this page; you guys need to stop edit warring over this. If anything needs to be edited, it's the disambiguation page and the God of War (series) page, which are the targets of the respective redirects.
If you guys continue edit warring at that or any other related articles, you will be blocked. rʨanaɢ ( talk) 17:07, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Okay, that will do. The only thing I'm doing is changing the wording at the top of this page so it's not just "See also: God of War (series)". JDC808 ( talk) 16:42, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
