Y'know, I wonder about some people on Wikipedia. This entry had an incorrect name listed for the character (Frieda Ratsel); it got corrected, AND a reference tag was added both to the real name's source, AND a reference tag was added to a reliable online source explaining both why Ratsel is a codename that people have erroneously misapplied as the real name, and that Warrior Woman's own creator, Roy Thomas, the man who also called her Ratsel, has confirmed this. So, of course, someone swiftly reverted the edit to make the page wrong again, and noted "what source?" for the changes that had been made. WHAT SOURCE? Why, those would be the ones in the reference tags the reverter clearly didn't bother to read or check. Venting my frustration here, and date tagging this, because if I was a betting man, I'd lay good odds that someone, likely the original reverter, will revert the info again to make the page wrong. 86.144.89.113 ( talk) 14:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC) Yep. I was right. Four hours before the same person, who clearly lacks reading comprehension skills, reverted it, saying "the handbooks I've read said Ratsel, which ones are you talking about?" That would be the specifically named, most recent handbook, clearly listed in the citation. But the reverter (a) assumes bad faith and reverts without checking, (b) seems incapable of coming to the talk page to discuss it, instead just assuming he/she is automatically correct, and (c) seems incapable of actually reading a citation. What's the point of citing sources if people can't be bothered to check them before reverting things? 86.186.10.52 ( talk) 23:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Armbrust The Homunculus 10:55, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
Warrior Woman →
Warrior Woman (Marvel Comics) – the current title is highly ambiguous, both with the generic term "woman warrior" and with the popular book
The Woman Warrior. The book gets
thousands of hits on Google Books, and is plausibly searched for without the prefix "the". The disambiguator "Marvel Comics" seems to be the most common in
Category:Marvel Comics characters with superhuman strength.
The bare title "Warrior Woman" should be redirected to the dab page at
Warrior woman. --
