Is this page necessary? I'm inclined to thing that Kara Zor-El should just redirect to Supergirl-- Isotope23 19:43, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Should Cir-El really be listed as Kara's Genetically engineered "half-cousin"? Cir-El wasn't related to Kara at all, neither was she related to Superman. She was a homeless girl given Superman's DNA and she doesn't even exist anymore. CureWhite
ugh.
161.38.222.14 00:57, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
She does exist (read Cir-El's article), and second, Cir-EL's DNA is 50% of Kal-El's (Kara's cousin) DNA, so that makes her gentically related to Kara. And DNA is the primary factor in being related to anyone. Look at Superboy, he also has 50% of Superman's DNA, and everyone doesn't argue about his relation to Superman or Kara, so why should Cir-El be excluded when she has the same genetic relation to them. MetaStar 15:51, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Yea or Nay? It's kind of a different character, but i loathe two Superhero Boxes for the same character (like a lot of the Legion ones). Opinions anyone? Exvicious 01:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Some of the information on the "Modern age" Kara needs to be edited for clarity of meaning. Certain sentences read as if written by someone who learned English as a second language, and it ranges from simple misuse of words to nearly incomprehensible. Some examples:
I've read very little of the current Kara's published appearances, and I fear that if I edited the text myself (particularly the second passage cited above), I would incorrectly interpret the meaning. Can someone more well-versed in this incarnation of the character tackle this problem? - Pennyforth 16:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
There is a discussion on the Comics Project talk page about the appropriateness of "Historical" and "Modern" in the superherobox. CovenantD 00:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Isn't metioned in World War III that Supergirl was split into at least two beeings when returning from the Legion are. Only one part of her passed throu the martian manhunter and fell to earth, at least thats what i read at one of the World war III introduction pages (the black pages). This should be added, shouldn't it ? Heinrich k 06:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I put that up on the World War III page, but it was removed. Bluecatcinema 08:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
So it's true that Kara is going to be a new character in Smallville season 7, thats awesome. Allilee
Yes and I think they are doing the Supergirl: Power storyline involving her reason for going to Earth. All the pieces seem to be in place (black kryptonite, the crystal in the ship, etc.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.172.41.13 ( talk) 05:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
One of the variant covers for issue four, the one with silver age-like graphics, and the Black Supergirl saying "You thought you could destroy me with Black Kryptonite, Luthor, but instead you've released me, the true Supergirl!", is that based on an old comic story, or something?

You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, Bookkeeperoftheoccult 07:37, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
I removed a bulk of information from the silver age section that had no references. If proper citations can be found, they can be reintegrated into the article at a later date.
This article has a lot of potential, but it is seriously lacking sources. This is a very long article with very few sources. There are complete paragraphs that are with only 1 source. (See WP:CITE)
I am not posting this as your official reviewer, because If I were the official reviewer, I'd have to quick-fail the article. But because I think that this article can make GA with some little work, I'll wait for it to improve to review it. Cheers, Lex94 Talk Contributions Signatures 22:43, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I will be doing the Good Article nomination review Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
ON HOLD, I am putting this review on hold, you have one week to address the issues raised below. Overall fairly well done but there are a large number of relatively minor issues and a few major ones that need to be addressed before it meets GA criteria.

This article needs the B-Class checklist filled in to remain a B-Class article for the Comics WikiProject. If the checklist is not filled in by 7th August this article will be re-assessed as C-Class. The checklist should be filled out referencing the guidance given at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria. For further details please contact the Comics WikiProject.

The first paragraph is in bold text, which is annoying. It's not like any other superman related article, which is in plain text. Also, checking the code, I can't see any bold markup.
What is the code that is causing this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravendon ( talk • contribs) 22:20, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
30 years of her history is condensed into 2 sections "Silver age and bronze age" but then after modern age, there's a section devoted to every little individual story arc. Legion, amazons, Linda, insect queen, etc. 129.139.1.68 ( talk) 11:47, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
