The various articles that related to the Teen Titans (TV Series) characters could use some revising. Currently the "semi-articles" on the TV versions of the characters require you to have some knowledge of the "original" comic versions of the characters. This should be revised, however, as many of the younger Wikipedians will only be familiar with the TV version, not the comics version. -- Tim4christ17 20:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Fans/historians of any or all, I hope you'll contribute to these latest three bios. (Just coincidence they're all "M"). -- Tenebrae 15:32, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone think Gazer (comics) should be moved to Gazer, which is only a redirect? -- DrBat 17:45, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Or you need a rouge admin who is convinced by the reasoning, I suppose. I've performed the move, but if it turns out this isn't satisfactory, any user can revert it just by moving the article about the comic character back to Gazer (comics) and changing the redirect left behind at Gazer. I can't imagine anyone complaining, though. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 23:11, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I did not detail the first 21 issues because I do not own them. We would have just had a lot of blank cells. Hopefully, someone else would have come along and added this info.
If I understand Tenebrae's justification correctly, most other entries on comic book titles do not have information on particular issues. Rather than innovate, articles should be kept as is. If I were going to preserve this information, he suggests adding it to the Morbius page. I do not agree that this would be appropriate, as I am not talking about the character, but am reporting on creative team, back-up strips, etc, in various issue of Fear.
To sum up, I do not understand how Adventure into Fear is a better article by having less detail.-- StAkAr Karnak 01:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah. This isn't a good idea. Other sites do this better than Wikipedia can, encyclopedias don't traditionally include this kind of detail, and, well, it'll get awful for every single comic that lasted for six issues or more. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 19:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Has anyone seen Marvel animated universe? I had never heard that these series were supposed to be connected in some way; I don't believe Marvel ever represented them that way. This appears to be the sort of "Us, too!" thing that fans of the Big Two like to do. Because DC has a pretty cohesive animated universe, Marvel just has to as well. This just feels like OR to me. -- Chris Griswold 04:07, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
So to make a long post short...
Animated Marvel crossovers = guest appearances, nothing less and nothing more. RobJ1981 05:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
I just made two simple but time- and keystroke-saving templates: {{ Marvel Universe}} and {{ DC Universe}}. I like when editors have used the phrase "Marvel Universe" to link to both the Marvel Comics and Marvel Universe articles; it's cute but it takes a little extra work. These templates make such a double link much faster to execute. -- Chris Griswold 05:57, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Someone recently renamed all the Comics Greatest World articles; for example, Grace (Comics Greatest World) is now Grace (Dark Horse Comics). I don't want to make anyone mad or step on any toes, but I think Comics Greatest World is a better disambiguation than Dark Horse Comics for articles about the CGW Imprint. What I mean is if Marvel Comics had a character named Samaritan, the Astro City character's article would be called Samaritan (DC Comics) because that would be misleading, it would be called Samaritan (Astro City) a less ambiguous name, right? Maybe it's just me. Any comments? Kant2k6 06:11, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
True some, but not many, of the characters did outlast the CGW imprint and were printed as Dark Horse Heroes, but only by about a year (with the exception of Ghost who lasted longer). And most discussions of the characters, at least most discussions I’ve be privy to, call the entire run Comics Greatest World. Plus, at least a couple of characters, Mecha for sure and I think Grace, have other Dark Horse Comics characters with the same name. (The other Mecha had his own title in the 80s). Kant2k6 07:18, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to offend you User:Basique. I thought this was a discussion page were if I disagreed with a standard I could question it and let the various project editors voice their opinion. But apparently the standards are the missing 11th threw 15th commandments set in stone by God. I of course will yield to the majority opinion, I just thought I was aloud to disagree with it. You know, like you did with all the section heading you changed on the Titan article that I had to change back to fit project specifications. Kant2k6 13:08, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I didn't act boldly, the articles were originally named 'Character (Imprint)' and Basique renamed them 'Character (Publisher)'. In addition to that he renamed article sections from standard names to non-standard names (i.e. changing Bibliography to Chronology) and deleted the Reference section out of several articles that featured quotes. The boldest I got was getting mad at/annoyed by him for implying I shouldn't discuss usefulness of Imprint rather than Publisher name in a case were the publisher has no single shared universe and in fact has characters with the same names outside the imprint. Kant2k6 22:57, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I might have been wrong part of the time but you were wrong more. The following is the changes you made to the Titan article. In the hero box, you changed the comic_color from #80ffff (Dark Horse Comics) to #8080ff (DC Comics). You deleted the double subheading system under Bibliography do a single list which you had out of order and in the case of Will to Power 9 you doubled the entry. You deleted the References section which the WikiProject guidlines call for, and I quote
You removed the heading on Publication history and placed its contents in the introduction, and changed the headings Bibliography, Awards (I'll admit I was useing the term "awards" loosely here), and External links to Chronology, Trivia, and Resources (all contrary to the Project standards set in the article example (see link above). And in the Resources you put a link to a site that sells comics Titan appears in (and according to Wikipedia guidelines you're not suppossed to do that), and the other of the two sites I already had listed in the External links section you just changed the on screen words from 'Titan at International Comics directory' to 'Titan at International Comics' (P.S. its not the Comics Greatest World site, its a fan site with lots of different Companies and Imprints). So which of us deveated more from the WikiProject's guidelines me (for naming the page wrong) or you (for all the above). Kant2k6 04:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I meant to discuss the quotes but forgot. I will conced I may have used more than I should but I'm a Literature major and thats kinda how we do things. Sorry. If everyone thinks there are to many, I or another editor can remove some. I checked the Titan history, an IP address corrected the colors on the hero box, based on other edits by the address I'll assume it was User:Basique. But the corrected colors had Dark Horse Comics for the alliance color and still had DC Comics for the comics color. I may have gotten a little angry over this, sorry. But my point in the last post wasn't that Basique was "more wronger" (a phrase I didn't use) it was that his agrument against me was based on the fact that I didn't name the articles according to the project guidelines, but most of the changes he made to the Titan article took it away from the guidelines further than I originally had them. That said I to am finished arguing this. For a serious discussion on changes to the Comics Greatest World articles post on either the Comics Greatest World talk page or the specific article's talk page.
Anyone wishing to continue the discussion on article naming convensions please feel free to do so. This was not meant to be an arguement between myself and Basique and I am sorry it degressed into one. Kant2k6 15:27, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
With all the recent "outing" of popular characters in the past few years Spiderman, Daredevil, Captain America, in addition to the central theme of Civil War, does anyone feel that the addition of an identity section would add to the Hero-Box. Something stating whether an idenity is secret, known to the public, etc. This would be similar to the Handbooks to the Marvel Universe I believe. --sharp962 12:13, 7/15/06 EST/.

For 1 issue specials (annuals, 1-shots, etc) and/or shorter series: some pages for the more important things, otherwise... just delete.
I'm no Star Wars comic expert, I'm hoping there is some here...that can better sort through the important and less important things. Also.. I should note: the subcategory for category: Star Wars Comics, doesn't seem important and I don't see why it was made that way in the first place. RobJ1981 02:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
A couple of Comics Project editors are now working with the Star Wars Project editors to get this cleaned up. The creator of the majority of these articles has already started to merge them in light of these discussions. I think it all should be cleaned up pretty quick. CovenantD 00:21, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I noticed it as a request, but I don't think it needs a page. The Amalgam page itself has a pretty decent list on it, that's good enough (especially since Amalgam was only around for a few years and isn't even active right now). What does everyone else think? RobJ1981 12:55, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I put it there so that all the useless single-character articles like SuperSoldier could be merged into it. -- Jamdav86 18:41, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Would a list of super villain teams be needed? There is more than enough villian teams out there in the comics world. I was thinking of making one, since I didn't see one... but I saw lists of Marvel teams, and DC teams as well. But that's both hero and villian...not one or the other. RobJ1981 17:38, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
We currently have a category called Comics terminology [2] and one called Comic book terminology [3]. Is there any good reason to keep both of these categories? Iron Ghost 00:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes I understand that, but I was sugesting that as the sub-category is so much bigger than the category itself, that the stuff on comic books be moved into the main category. Iron Ghost 17:21, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
It seems like alot of clutter of related things and things that really don't need to be there. I'm in reference to the whole long "Other DC and Marvel crossovers" list (I can understand listing some of it, but certainly not all of it) and the whole section of the trading card sets that list each and every card in all sets. RobJ1981 05:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I notice there is no article for Comic Book Crossovers and that the comics section on the Fictional crossover article is a bit short. I was hoping, firstly, to generate some support for creating such an article and secondly, to get some consensus at to what actually counts as a crossover.
Does a crossover have to take place across more than one title, or do "special events" taking place in a single title (such as Crisis on Infinite Earths and Contest of Champions) count as well? I'm sure we all want to avoid a list of every time Superman appears in a Batman comic. Thoughts?
-- Iron Ghost 21:19, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
To my mind, major events like the Crisis should be mentioned. It's hard to remember any more, but weren't there Crisis tie-ins in other titles? It seems like that's been the case in all major events since then. I think that it would be fair to mention smaller crossovers as well, such those that are spread out over all the Batman or Spider-Man titles. Even two title crossovers would be fair game, in my opinion, such as Flash/Green Lantern, Supergirl/Ressurection Man, Silver Surfer/Hulk, etc. As long as it's a named story arc between at least two titles, I think it could be mentioned. Guest appearances, however, should not be included. -- GentlemanGhost 21:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know what the boundaries are between projects? Do Wikiproject Comics and Wikipedia:WikiProject Buffyverse work together to handle the Buffy comics like this one Remaining Sunlight (Buffy comic)? I wouldn't have even known these existed if not for the Dark Horse Comics page. I've been assuming that someone in the project did, and that they all belong to the Buffy folks. -- Basique 21:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to point you all to the dispute going on at the X-Men article talk page. Me and Covenant seem to be unable to persuade the anomynous user that his actions are not in line with wiki policy. Of course, anyone who disagrees with that notion is welcome too. Kusonaga 12:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
The article having been approved by 0.5 FA Review, I'd like to bring my recent concerns about the article to a larger audience (since nobody seems to be watching the article itself lately). I think there are some significant omissions that deserve more attention. – Unint 22:25, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

To my mind, major events like the Crisis should be mentioned. It's hard to remember any more, but weren't there Crisis tie-ins in other titles? It seems like that's been the case in all major events since then. I think that it would be fair to mention smaller crossovers as well, such those that are spread out over all the Batman or Spider-Man titles. Even two title crossovers would be fair game, in my opinion, such as Flash/Green Lantern, Supergirl/Ressurection Man, Silver Surfer/Hulk, etc. As long as it's a named story arc between at least two titles, I think it could be mentioned. Guest appearances, however, should not be included. -- GentlemanGhost 21:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know what the boundaries are between projects? Do Wikiproject Comics and Wikipedia:WikiProject Buffyverse work together to handle the Buffy comics like this one Remaining Sunlight (Buffy comic)? I wouldn't have even known these existed if not for the Dark Horse Comics page. I've been assuming that someone in the project did, and that they all belong to the Buffy folks. -- Basique 21:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to point you all to the dispute going on at the X-Men article talk page. Me and Covenant seem to be unable to persuade the anomynous user that his actions are not in line with wiki policy. Of course, anyone who disagrees with that notion is welcome too. Kusonaga 12:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
The article having been approved by 0.5 FA Review, I'd like to bring my recent concerns about the article to a larger audience (since nobody seems to be watching the article itself lately). I think there are some significant omissions that deserve more attention. – Unint 22:25, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Can everyone here please contribute to the discussion at Talk:Avengers (comics) please? Thanks in advance. -- Jamdav86 15:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
