Where Is the Partners and Fictional history section? All superhero pages have those and it seems that this is missing it so I suggest those should be added to give more informations to the readers GGGG0988 ( talk) 06:33, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
All superhero pages have those.Not all but most. Most of those sections are also rife with WP:FANCRUFT, WP:IN-UNIVERSE perspective, and WP:PLOTONLY descriptions. This is a major issue that plagues a lot of comic book articles. Keep in mind, this is a WP:GOODARTICLE focusing on the encyclopedic aspects of the character. For detailed plot summaries, I suggest you try a fan site like marvel.fandom.com.—- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 09:43, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

From the previous comments, I see that this article is written differently than other articles, because it is a WP:Good article and has to follow specific guidelines. However, I believe we are missing details on who Khan is and how she is characterized or described. These can be very generally understood from the "Publication history" section, but that sections describes the comics that she is featured in, and do not give much character details.
What I am looking for is a section such as this Jabba_the_Hutt#Characterization or Baron_Munchausen#Fictional_character, which discuss more of the character's background and story. This can be done in a "out of universe" style per MOS:PLOT. Natg 19 ( talk) 00:10, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Google's ngram search shows that embiggen's popularity was already on the rise before 2014 and dropped off a bit in that year. See https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=embiggen&year_start=1996&year_end=2019&corpus=26&smoothing=0 ADREY talk 20:02, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
All superhero articles that I've seen on Wikipedia have a Powers and Abilities section but this one. Would anyone know why that is? Airros ( talk) 19:36, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Airros
I did a basic reorganization and added some missing info. I'll continue to try and add in missing sources. This article hasn't gone through GAR since it became a GA in 2014. I've put a request in for copy-editing help over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests#Kamala Khan with the intention of requesting a GAR after that is completed if needed. The Guild has quite a bit of backlog so it might be a month or two until an editor is free to handle the request. Sariel Xilo ( talk) 01:38, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
@
MikeAllen and
103.104.117.205: I don't think we need a bunch of internal anchors to bounce readers around the article; for example "For critical reaction to the character's 2019 death, see § 2019–2022" is unneeded as this is literally directly above this section. That "critical reaction" is also a single sentence with a weak source (website part of the
FanSided group; unclear on their editorial standards). I don't think we need to over emphasize a four issue Secret Warriors Champions arc (where Kamala's died in a timeline that was rewritten) that didn't receive much critical coverage, wasn't marketed by Marvel as a big death and wasn't followed up elsewhere. Versus something like the Outlawed event or her upcoming ASM death which did receive news coverage. Also, a bunch of
duplicate links (mostly to series and character names) were introduced and should be removed. (Sidenote - in the "Critical reaction" section, I only changed the subheading "Death" to "Death in 2023" because the IP editor added an anchor to "death" which superseded the heading.)
