Elsewhere in the Comics Project, this kind of section has been removed as inherently POV. I can say that in my opinion, for example, many of the stories listed here are not significant. And generally, the Comics Project doesn't list individual guest appearances, just a bibliography of starring series/features. -- Tenebrae 20:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
He would have been about maybe 16, 17 years old. A co-creator credit for him probably needs some explanation. - Tenebrae 17:23, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
i'm removing the part about a canadian band sharing the name brother voodoo; there is no wiki for the band, and it isn't appropriate to link out for myspace profiles or whathaveyou —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.155.88.139 ( talk) 20:06, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Rtkat. I wanted to let you know the reason I've reverted this. WikiProject Comics editorial guidelines disallow what it calls "blow-by-blow" synopses — that is, overly detailed plot descriptions that include details of specific, ordinary actions, such as, "They ran and in and saw two bodies on the floor" ... an example that also serves to point out the overall Wikipedia policy about encyclopedic notability. If the story were to have shown Brother Voodoo killed ("on the courthouse steps, Brother Voodoo is shot by an unknown assailant and pronounced dead at the scene"), that that would be a significant character milestone. That's the key thing to ask: Is this a significant character milestone? In this case, it's not clear that this is even Brother Voodoo at all. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:56, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
With the events of Black Panther #38, should the article mention that Brother Voodoo has been a Skrull for an indefinite amount of time? Zhaizetta ( talk) 19:43, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
I put in the sarcastic comment to show that Brother Voodoo is not happy with his new 'job' of helping out Iron Man and the others oppose heroes. Said job is by itself noteable. Lots42 ( talk) 13:01, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
I understand. If you'll check out the WikiProject: Comics editorial guidelines and exemplars, you'll see that what we call "blow-by-blow" overdetails aren't considered encyclopedic. Optimally, what goes in these things are significant character milestones. Read the Batman and Superman articles for examples of what we mean.
It takes time to learn encyclopedia research and writing. One wouldn't expect to pick up a guitar one day and be able to play perfectly. There's a learning curve, and we all understand. Good Wiki'ing and good wishes, -- Tenebrae ( talk) 13:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Can we change the main Image to the one of him as "Doctor Voodoo"? The current one isn't very flatering. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.224.232.184 ( talk) 17:55, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Changing the page name to Jericho Drumm, covers both names, Brother Voodoo and Doctor Voodoo. -- 198.135.110.2 ( talk) 16:13, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Following a consensus of editors at the WikiProject Comics talk page, I've twice asked User:NickLenz19 on his talk page to discuss his widespread insertions of bibliographic lists of character appearances. He apparently has declined to do so.
These lists are problematic for reasons discussed on the WikiProject Comics talk page, where the consensus was to remove them. I said on that page I would wait a couple of days, in the hopes of getting a response from NickLenz19. Indeed, I urged him twice on his talk page to join the discussion.
Since he will not discuss his questionable edits, I will remove said edits from the time of my second request to him for discussion and going forward (from 18:09, April 19). Within two days, as noted at the editors' discussion at the WikiProject Comics talk page, I and presumably other editors will remove these lists. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 01:38, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
I've removed all claims of who created the character, since (1)they're unsourced, and (2)they're apparently controversial, since I've seen claims elsewhere that John Romita, Sr. co-created Brother Voodoo (on Romita's own article, for example). Also, I may have to triple check this, but I'm 99% sure that Gene Colan's biography Secrets in the Shadows makes no mention of his co-creating the character, which you'd think it would if that were the case. Anyone with reliable info on Brother Voodoo's creators, please step forward!-- NukeofEarl ( talk) 14:58, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
You're right 50.141.204.194, he's an "emigrant." Thanks. Savvyjack23 ( talk) 05:31, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
