Learning
Regarding the Larry A. Thompson page -- I am learning the Wikipedia editing system. I also did not 1) know IMDb is not an accepted source and 2) receive any notification that we were engaged in a "war" until I received an email just moments ago. I apologize for the inconvenience and will keep better track of the article's history.
I have no intent on taking part in an "edit war." But if you'd like to keep making comments like, "If this editor, who is so intent on [{WP:PUFFERY]] for this producer, will no [sic] follow Wikipedia policies and guidelines..." and "Pure promotional WP:PUFFERY. For shame," keep firing away. I'm not going to take part.
However, I thank you for the constructive advice you provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 818simmer (talk • contribs) 00:20, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

In particular for the ongoing discussion on Star Trek into Darkness regarding a pesky little I. At the end of the day, it may not have been resolved but we all did work together to try and get it sorted, even if we did feel at times we were banging our heads on our desks and calling our computer screens idiots.

Hi T-to-the-brizzle, I've created the above article for the costume designer for Prometheus to get rid of the red link, but I don't have ANY experience with Bio articles and I've seen you edit a lot of them (actors at least, don't know if you have done crew), was wondering if you could take a look and just help me improve it a little.

A brownie for you!
After dealing with certain editors on a certain page (I hope you understand the one I mean) I think you need a brownie. I just want to trout them! lol MisterShiney ✉ 19:36, 23 January 2013 (UTC) |
Just a heads up....
I removed a reference on Cooper Square as all it was a bunch of text that referenced other works and was not in a standard formatting. The text itself has been moved to the talk page, so that yourself or another editor can find a place for it within the article and so that it can be properly referenced within the article. MisterShiney ✉ 22:50, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Just in case you didn't spot it, the first citation that follows the passage "returned to New York City, settling in Brooklyn." resulted in a citation error. I'd have fixed it, but I'm not sure how, as I don't do a lot of work with cites that contain info in the archive values. Nightscream (talk) 02:20, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- Well, let's see. I had a folder filled with hundreds of folders from the Dec 5 George Takei signing, and another filled with hundreds of photos from the Dec 6 Todd McFarlane signing, including those of me posing with them, but I accidentally deleted the folder on my Desktop containing them, along with folders containing the pics I took last June at Ground Zero and at Niagra Falls, and I'm hoping the data recovery program is able to retrieve them, because otherwise, I'm going to kill myself. And how was your week? ;-) Nightscream (talk) 02:31, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- I just checked, and it turns out the the two photos of me posting with each of them had been put away in the Photos of Me folder, so at least those were saved (I think I posted them on my Facebook). I tried using two data recovery programs (the second of which took two days to scan my entire HD) to see if they could be retrieved, and I did notice that pics from both signings were among those flashed across those programs' windows, but when they were finished scanning, they turned out to be trial versions that required me to purchase the full program (which are kinda expensive) before the retrieval process could be completed. Fortunately, my cousin, who understands bit torrents, helped me download a valid version of the second program last night, so I'm crossing my fingers, as it's scanning my HD again right now as we speak. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 03:13, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Star Trek into Darkness
Lord fuck a duck.
Couldn't you give me something more substantial to read than that thread? :) I was particularly amused by the number of non sequiturs being employed as arguments for the subtitle ("Into Darkness appeared first in the trailer! That makes it a subtitle!" "JJ Abrams referred to it as just 'Into Darkness' in an interview! That makes it a subtitle!").
Anyway, can you point me to where on that page a consensus emerged for that compromise? Nightscream (talk) 02:23, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
- I've read the Consensus section, and it does not appear to me to be that clear a consensus, particularly in terms of the pool of respondents. When you told me that there was a consensus, I figured you meant that there would've been a conclusion reached by the closing admin at the bottom of initial long-ass discussion thread. But in that smaller Consensus section, I see five editors, including yourself, for the compromise, and one person against it. I tried using my browser's Find feature to see where else on the page the word "compromise" appears, but they're mostly instances of you suggesting it, or others suggesting some type of "compromise". Given the number of people who participated in the long thread, what I would do if I were you is, I would contact them to request that they offer their viewpoint in the Compromise section, in order to get a wider sense of the community. Nightscream (talk) 03:17, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
- You contacted all the participants in the long thread to offer their thoughts on the Compromise in the smaller one? Well, there are 21 people in the former who did not chime in on the later: SonOfThornhill, Erik, GRAPPLE X, Ëzhiki, Betty Logan, fcsuper, Dicklyon, Kilcoyne, DonQuixote, Powers, douts, Z, Andrewa, RAP, Ωphois, DocNox, Enric Naval, TomStar81, SMcCandlish, Darkwarriorblake, and Jjuo. so it's not accurate to say that "Virtually every other editor has agreed to it." However, looking more closely at the smaller thread, I see eight or nine people supporting the compromise, so in any event, Scjessey has no cause to revert the article. I'll keep an eye on it. Nightscream (talk) 19:52, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, I posted about it on my Facebook wall. It reminds of the time that I found an article on some 16-year-old Melbourne kid named Corey Delaney who threw a party while his parents were away to which 500 people showed, which turned into a riot that damaged the community and cost $20,000 in police response. Even though I was still a bit green with respect to notability, and I didn't make article deletion nominations a lot, it was so obvious to me that this particular topic was not deserving of its own WP article, that I got the deletion process going. The result? It made the Australian news.
- But this Trek thing is just ridiculous. Nightscream (talk) 06:45, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- To be fair, most of my admin duties don't really require Solomonic wisdom, since most it constitutes reacting to vandalism and unsourced info with user warnings, page protection and blocks. While my assistance as a mediator is occasionally requested, it's not that often. Nightscream (talk) 17:22, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

King of the Nerds
Hi. I'm glad to see you confronting those who add unsourced material to articles. However, for the first warning, I would've chosen a Level 1 warning, rather than the one with the red triangle and exclamation point. Also, I would not have referred to the second one as a "second warning", because it is not clear that the two editors were the same one. While it's certainly possible they were, it is not conclusive. One of the IPs is traced to Florida, while the other is traced to Kansas, they didn't have the same or even similar edit summaries, so it's possible that one editor reverted what he/she thought was a legit edit by another. I normally don't refactor other editor's messages, but I altered that second message slightly (the one on the article talk page) in order to remove this accusation, so it doesn't escalate into an argument. I hope you don't mind. If so, let's talk about it. Thanks, buddy. Nightscream (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Marvel Database Notability
Hello Tenebrae,
I am writing to ask if you, as a fan of comics and a contributor to the Comics portal on Wikipedia, would support the notability of the community project called the Marvel Comics Database. Several years ago, the site was deemed too new and not sufficiently notable to qualify for its own Wikipedia article. Since then, the site has passed the 100,000 article mark, after nearly 8 years of effort, and has been featured in the New York Times, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, the Toronto Star, among other mainstream press.
I am the founder of the site and will not create the article myself (to prevent infringing the self-promotion policy), but I ask that you objectively consider my suggestion that the site has become a valued resource and a notable part of the comic book culture, in the same way that Memory Alpha and Wookieepedia have done. If you agree that the Marvel Database is now justifiably notable in its own right, please consider creating an article for the site. Either way, I'd love to hear from you.
Thank you very much,
--Jamie (talk) 06:37, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- Hey,
- I was just wondering if you'd given any more thought to my idea. Is there something in particular that you are usually looking for as a milestone for notability?
- This is as far as I could go with the sources that you have, Jamie. Just point to those other mainstream media and I think we can turn the userpage draft into a article. Jhenderson 777 19:22, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Bill Finger
The noblemania page cited re: Denver DOES mention Denver, in the first line of the scanned page from GREEN LANTERN #1 (1941): http://noblemania.blogspot.com/2010/09/to-billmobile.html. Mtn (talk) 05:08, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Not sure I'm doing this right, posting a note on the same topic but a different subtopics right under the previous? Hoping so, I proceed! I admittedly have plenty to learn about Wiki editing, but that said, as an author, I find it preferable to cite the only book on the subject over a web site that does not list its sources. I happen to know and respect the Finger Family site since I wrote the book in question and researched thoroughly, but what matters to everyone else referring to a Wiki page is authority (=citation). I have a copy of the census he's referring to but it's not on my blog yet. Also, for years, picture books almost as a rule have not used page numbers, but that is not a reason not to cite them. Some picture books, such as this one, are the ONLY source for certain facts; the book was the result of five years of original research. Is it a Wikipedia rule not to include a title in Further Reading if it is already in the References, or is that just your preference? If the latter, I would like to put it back, not because it's "overly promotional" but because I, for one, often don't wade through all the References but frequently skim the Further Reading, and again, this is the only book on the subject. (If I was being overly promotional, I'd make an entry for the book!) Thanks. Mtn (talk) 03:46, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Is it possible to see one thread of our exchange, instead of my comments on my talk page and my comments to you on your talk page? Removal of Roussos is not a whitewash. It is simply not accurate. Everyone from Kane himself to Jerry Robinson to Julie Schwartz to Paul Levitz to Carmine Infantino - many who knew and worked more intimately with Finger - have explicitly said Bob did NOT have ideas. I can cite you specific examples from my 700+ pages of research for the book. I have added comments from more authoritative sources and would like to add a third from Jerry Robinson, but it is from my book so I will take your suggestion and post it where you said. Please know that none of this is self-promotional. I spoke to literally hundreds of people in researching, wrote this book to set the record straight, and have waited more than nine months to see what people would pick up from it and transfer here. Some of the major points have remained untouched, so I jumped in. I am not quoting myself unless there is no other source. The goal is to accurately describe Finger's contribution in the most visible online repository for it. Other than the fact that it is consistent with what I did in the book and what I am doing in my speaking engagements nationwide, it has nothing to do with me. I just want misinformation or mischaracterization on Wikipedia to be corrected. Mtn (talk) 04:28, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
I am willing to be collaborative; I think my publishing history speaks to that. Please don't call me disruptive because I disagree with you. Yes, other historians and comics experts have written about Finger. One told me with conviction "Only two photos of Finger exist so don't bother looking." Over nine months, I found eleven more. Several other historians told me "Finger has no heir." After nine months of searching, I found his granddaughter. I pointed out mistakes in other people's books that were then fixed for reprints (just as I have done with other books of mine, and am always eager to do). I cold-called every Finger in the state of Florida (500+) in the name of accuracy. No one has dug as deep as I have and has the research I do, so I feel I do have some authority in determining which quotations most accurately describe the situation IN COMPARISON TO THE REST. Of the dozens if not hundreds of eyewitness quotations I have gathered on Bill Finger, the Roussos one is simply not one that anyone who has read them all would put anywhere near the top in terms of reliability. In fact, the rest of this very article contradicts that Bill "sort of organized" someone else's ideas. However well-intentioned, his assessment is wildly inconsistent with the descriptions of nearly every other major player including Kane's, and it does not belong in the opening paragraph of an article about Bill Finger. As I mentioned, to say that Kane had the ideas when he did not write a single story and drew only at the very beginning, whereas Finger not only wrote 1,500 stories over 25 years but designed the costume and built the bat-motif, is irresponsible. Have you seen my book? If not, I would like to send you a copy, if you'd tell me where to send. Of course I am a Finger supporter but I am critical of Finger, too. And some reviews have called it the most balanced portrait of Kane they've seen. Regardless of any other changes, may we continue this discussion offline, simply because it's easier than the different talk pages and I prefer to talk openly anyway? My email is mtnobleman@gmail.com. Mtn (talk) 05:05, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the explanation re: authors editing on Wikipedia. I (obviously) did not know that there was such a distinction. I appreciate the time you've taken to educate me. I do take issue with you describing me as "self-promoting" and "self-aggrandizing" when you do not know me. Likewise "self-description of your expertise." I didn't call myself an expert (being a "Bill Finger expert" would not be of much use to anyone anyway); I simply listed what I did to get the story. And yes, re: uncovering photos/family, while that is what authors are supposed to do, none before have with respect to Finger, so I felt specifying that would back up my position.
What I didn't say is that for two years before an editor acquired the book (i.e. in the period when I did not know if anyone WOULD acquire the book), and now since, I have shared considerable research for free online (i.e. Bill's death certificate, medical examiner report, only known surviving correspondence, WWII 4F records, etc.) because I want this history to be known. I hope this would indicate that I edited the Wiki entry only on behalf of Finger and his family; I cited my own book only when it was the only known source, the rest of the citations came from my research. And I did not begin editing the Wiki entry when my book came out. I waited what (for me) was a very long time with the hope that others would. It was hard for me to see the incorrect or (what I feel is) misrepresentative info up for so long. I did not know how to use the Talk page so thank you for telling me.
There is another reason I asked for an offline connection - because I simply enjoy discussing Finger with people who have more than an intermediate knowledge of him, and I am really interested to know about your books. (Maybe you could come hear me speak in NYC, or vice-versa...wherever you are.) If you do choose to reach out, I'd be thrilled, and professional: of course we'd keep Wiki business (not that I will be a regular) and our external relationship separate. Wikipedia may work better keeping us anonymous, but the world works better when we know each other. Mtn (talk) 05:59, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for supporting the book. I hope once you read it (and don't miss the author's note, not that you would) you will gain a better perspective on why I wanted to do my small part on Wikipedia. I greatly appreciate your kind words, and hope to see you at some point. If you are in NYC, I am speaking at the 92nd Street Y the evening of May 15; last time was standing room only so register early. And if you do come, please be sure to introduce yourself. I hope you enjoy the book and best of continued luck with your own work. Mtn (talk) 00:58, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Secret Story Romances #7
Hi Tenebrae,
My suggestion was that you replace Love Romances #98 with this one.
The three covers shown are all Kirby & Colletta. I think that my dad's career was defined by three things, his solo romance art, his inking over Kirby, particularly on Thor, and the speed and long hours he worked inking just about every other penciler in the business. The Secret Story cover is his work alone while none of the others are. IMHO, the Love Romances cover isn't a very good one anyway. You'll not see many comic book covers drawn as beautifully as SS #7. I'm OK with the Mister Miracle cover although there are others, such as Batman #282 with Ernie Chua, that show the slicker inking style he employed from time to time.
Yes, Viola is my mother and is still with us. She will be delighted to see their photo in Vinnie's Wikipedia page. Much thanks, Tenebrae.
Franklin222 (talk) 18:43, 15 March 2013 (UTC)Franklin Colletta
Hi Tenebrae,
My father would truly be pleased to learn that someone (you) took this much of a dedicated interest in portraying him in such a fair manner. And thanks from me for including the Secret Story #7 Cover.
If you don't mind, and if it is allowable under Wikipedia policy, I'd like to contact Marvel to obtain their permission for Wikipedia to use a high resolution image of that cover. I read the Wikipedia non-free content use guideline. If Marvel signs off on using the original scan I sent to Wikipedia, can you use it instead of the current version? I hate to say it but the low resolution pretty much trashed the image. The detail is gone. The Love Romances cover was a better choice simply because there was no detail in it to lose.
Using Firefox, take a look at the first image in Wikipedia's Rembrandt page, a self-portrait, then keep enlarging it. I'm guessing that image is thousands of times bigger than the SS #7 I submitted. You would need a theater screen to see the largest version in its entirety.
Let me know if I should call Marvel.
With my best regards, as always,

OWNing Watchmen
Hey, just wanted to let you see this. I think what Indopug did was wrong, but accusing someone of OWNing an article when they haven't even contributed to it is only going to veer the conversation in unsavoury directions. I'm guessing that Indopug just assumed that the FA stamp of approval means the article is perfect, fini, and that such extensive editing to an already perfect article is only degrading its quality. Wrongheaded, but all in good faith (the article really does need cleanup). Curly Turkey (gobble) 21:43, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Watchmen
Hi Tenebrae, it's unfortunate that we've got off on the wrong foot; as Curly Turkey pointed out above, I am acting in good faith. However, I disagree with him that I think the article is "perfect" (I was just wary of the many changes being made so fast by you and another editor to a stable FA; I'm just calling for a breather, a time-out).
I especially appreciate the effort you put into clearing up the dead links. That said, I hope you realise that you were incorrect about a couple of things. As I pointed out on the article talk, the publication history is already covered in great detail, and also that there's nothing "wrong" or "non-standard" about not using citation templates.
I hope you and I can work together to improve this article.—indopug (talk) 04:22, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
- Tenebrae, can you please not restore your edits until we can hash out a consensus? Please see Wikipedia:OWN#Featured_articles (note: I'm not at all accusing of OWNership; I'm linking to a specific part of that policy) and WP:BRD, which both say that bold edits (such as yours) to a stable article should be discussed, especially if they are reverted.—indopug (talk) 17:59, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

- Not really sure how that's so. The amicable thing to do would have been to acknowledge my attempts to meet you more than halfway to improve the article, my only condition being to calm down and talk things through. Instead you've opted to push your edits through that 1) introduce a redundant section already discussed twice (in the lead and in Publication section later on), 2) flies in the face of WP:CITEVAR that requires you to maintain the existing citation style and 3) disregards [[Wikipedia:OWN#Featured_articles policy, which exists especially to prevent edit-wars such as this one.—indopug (talk) 18:30, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Another editor has edited the article. Will you be reverting him in light of the RfC?—indopug (talk) 19:58, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Another pair of eyes...
I don't really think this request is a canvassing violation, since we've both agreed and disagreed on questions in the past, and you're comments in the Demi–Demetria wars could indicate you'll oppose my official position here, but I believe you might offer useful comments anyway.
Can you take a look at Talk:Vanessa L. Williams#Was Vanessa Williams born in Tarrytown, Millwood, or the Bronx? The possibilities seem rather clear-cut. As you may infer, although I think my initial revert was technically justified, I'm not exactly sure it results in the most accurate article. As the other editor in the discussion indicated, this isn't an issue worth a major expenditure of time, but it would be nice to be able to think we tried out best to get it right. TIA.

Harvey Kurzman's Jungle Book
Hey, I appreciate you taking the time to copyedit Harvey Kurtzman's Jungle Book. There's one thing I do have to object to, though: where you added Sabre to "Graphic novels did not start to become widespread until the 1978, the year of Don McGregor and Paul Gulacy's Sabre and Will Eisner's A Contract with God, a book made up of four short stories as in Jungle Book."
The first problem is that Sabre is not mentioned in the source cited. The other problem is that if we're just looking for the first example of the use of "graphic novel", Sabre ain't it—Richard Kyle first used the term in the fan press in 1964, and Jack Katz's The First Kingdom used it on its cover in 1974.
The point with using A Contract with God, aside from the fact that it's the example given in the source, is the fact that the graphic novel gained momentum after and because of Eisner's book—Sabre's impact is miniscule in comparison, and, to be honest, is largely only remembered today because of the fact that it just happened to use the word "graphic novel" in its title. The fact that it was distributed in comic shops is far beside the point, especially considering that Jungle Book was not distributed in (the as-yet-nonexistent) comic shops, and since Eisner's book was published by a regular book publisher and distributed in mainstream book stores (a major triumph for comics at the time, setting a precedent for Maus, Watchmen, et al).
Looking at the Sabre article now, it looks like it wasn't even an early example of a book using the term "graphic novel"—the article says it was "[d]escribed on the credits page as a 'comic novel'". Curly Turkey (gobble) 06:53, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
- Good to hear you came across a good book! I've heard rumours that Drawn an Quarterly were planning on bringing the book back in print. A lot of Kurtzman has been reprinted lately, so I hope it's true.
- The focus of the paragraph is on graphic novels; Kitchen and Buhle call Jungle Book and early graphic novel, and then the paragraph talks about another failed "graphic novel" project of Kurtzman's. The bit about A Contract with God puts it all in the context of having been too soon or whatever.
- I'm sure Sabre was a big deal at the time, but a lot of things that were "a big deal at the time" have been forgotten. The fact is, when you read about the history of graphic novels, the credit all goes to Eisner, even when acknowledging precedents (of which there are plenty, including Kurtzman, and even earlier if you want to include Lynd Ward and Milt Gross). Then there's the fact that Eisner followed up A Contract with God with a whole career devoted to graphic novels (almost one a year), whereas Sabre was followed up with...? The eventual mainstreaming of the term "graphic novel" followed the mainstream bookstore success of Maus, Watchmen, and Dark Knight, and the term itself was officially established in libraries and bookstores by the Book Industry Study Group, at a time when many comic-shop readers were still resistent to the term, and alternative terms were still being bandied about; Sabre being a comic-shop book that was only retroactively called a "graphic novel" by a couple of guys who immediately abandoned the format puts it right out of the context of the paragraph. Curly Turkey (gobble) 21:31, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't even see your "snarky" remark—I just looked at a diff of all your edits at once. You shouldn't have drawn attention to it! Not to worry—I'm know you've seen me being less than polite in the past.
- I see your point; yeah, Kitchen republished both Jungle Book and A Contract with God (my copy's the Kitchen Sink edition). Maybe Kitchen's a little too close to the material; at the same time, I don't want to make up milestones (there are plenty). How about something like "graphic novels didn't become widespread until the closing decades of the 20th century"—not exactly paraphrasing what the source says, but not contradicting it, either, and not committing to any particular milestone year. Curly Turkey (gobble) 23:14, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
- I've got to say, since I've become active on Wikipedia, you're the nicest editor I've run into. I'm much more used to having to ready myself for combat 'round these parts.
- If New York weren't half a world away, you're right, I'd really enjoy seeing Kurtzman's work up close and personal—I love his line, much more than his writing, and I think it something of a tragedy that he unloaded so much of his work on other artists (which I suppose is the greatest tragedy of Jungle Book's commercial failure). I live in Japan, though, so I suppose I won't be popping by. I teach essay writing to highschoolers, so I suppose I do something related to writing, but the focus is more on things like getting the kids not to forget the objects to their transitive verbs, or how to distinguish articles and other determiners, than on developing anything like an elegant style. I'm Canadian, so my spelling may come across as English in my non-article writing.
- I've put Sabre back in for the time being, as writing "1978" without giving a reason for that particular year only leaves readers hanging. I do have to say again that I'm not really convinced that Sabre's that appropriate, and that it's very claim to being a "graphic novel" is a tenuous one—it didn't call itself one at the time, and at 38 pages, well, Carl Barks had longer stories than that that nobody called graphic novels. I rmember back in the '80s when anything with a square spine was labeled a "graphic novel", regardless of lenghth, but my own feeling is that mentality died out in the '90s (although it seems to be heading the other way these days, where some people are calling even saddle-stitched periodicals "graphic novels").

Project Comics MOS RfC
I can't seem to make heads or tails of it. What exactly are the specific points of disagreement? When I call for some type of consensus discussion, I try to outline what the question is, and what each editor's position on it is, to make other participating editors able to decide which they agree with. For example, your message at the top of the RfC section say that two editors have sought to incorporate the WikiProject's MOS standard opening section of Publication history, which should only not be used because of a compelling, overriding reason otherwise, but I'm not understanding what their disagreement is. Does one want to incorporate it and the other not? Do they have different ways of incorporating it? It then says that one editor reverts to an "older version", but I don't understand if this "one editor" is one of the two editors previously mentioned, or a new, third one? And if he's one of the first two mentioned, then how can they both be incorporating an opening section with an MOS standard if he's reverting to an old one without it? And you want me to comment on all four sections? I could do that if I could follow what the specific topic is about. Can you help me out here? Nightscream (talk) 14:33, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- I understand the desire to present a conflict neutrally, but you can still summarize each side's position in the process. What are Wrath X and Indopug's rationales for their positions?

Re: Gil Kane
- Thanks for your kind response. Gil spoke to me at great length about the things you want to know but there are issues involved that don't permit me to post that stuff in public and becuase I knew him, I want to to try and lay off on the personal revelation on his page. I didn't know how much you knew or didn't know about him based on your responses. I met him when I was about 21 and since he was one of Julie Schwartz' closest friends, socializing with the Kanes became something I took for granted. ( silly me!) Towards the end of his life, he had hours long conversations with me but I never wrote about them because they were too personal. He gave a two part interview to Publisher Gary Groth and you may be able to located those issues. Parents don't usually have to prove they have adopted their kids and I'd hate to have to go bother Elaine for that info which is why I gave you their state of residence at the time. Do you know Roy Thomas? He and Gil were collaborators and he'd be able to help, I'm sure. I suppose one thing I could do is offer an interview to some online Comic Site thta is considered reliable or to Gary and reiterate everything that Gil told me was a fact and then it can be used. As for who is or isn't his widow and how they should be referred to, with the death of somebody of Gil's stature, I am sure you can understand that being designated "his second wife" after spending nearly 35 years legally married to him and even more while a contested separtion eventually became a finalized divorce could be painful for his surviving family. ENough about that, however, I'd also like to find some sources about Gil's Military Service in the Pacific Theater. of course, this is stuff he talked about often to many people but I've got to fond a RS for the article.

Iron Man 3 tone
That's cool. I'm surprised, though - I was expecting more in the way of hardcore fan edits. Maybe word got out that it's not a great film.
Also, I'm glad to see that we both fell into the same roles we had on the Skyfall page; I build the content up, you trim it down and fix the grammar. It's a system that works well. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 03:02, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- It was just ... lazy. Which was a shame, because most of the dialogue was interesting and quirky to begin with.
- The way I see it, the film has two problems - it simply re-used elements that Iron Man 2 did, and when it finally started doing its own thing, it wasn't particularly original. The Iron Man 2 retread wasn't that bad, since Black did it smarter and better than Favreau did it. And he was intelligent enough to completely cut Stark off from the outside world with a malfunctioning suit and stranding him in the middle of nowhere (instead of trying to one-up The Avengers). But when it finally got into its own content, the film just did the standard "kidnap the President" and "kidnap the girlfriend" cliches.
- Ultimately, I think Iron Man 3 is a better sequel to Iron Man than Iron Man 2 was. It's much stronger if you watch Iron Man and then Iron Man 3 and then try to forget Iron Man 2 ever existed (which I regularly do). Prisonermonkeys (talk) 00:52, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Disney issues
Hello, Tenebrae. I'm here to ask you for your assistance in resolving a few matters in some Disney articles. Below, I've provided links to the respective talk pages where the two main contentions are being discussed and a brief description of the issue at hand.
A. Issue #1 - Whether or not Disney Enterprises, Inc. exists as its own functioning entity, operating as the parent of The Walt Disney Studios but simultaneously as an active subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.
B. Issue #2 - Whether the studios' distribution unit as a whole or one of that unit's specific film banners (e.g. Disney, Touchstone, etc.) should be identified as the distributor in the respective infobox parameter for all film releases.
I would greatly appreciate your input since neither discussion has gained any traction without there being disagreements and edit reversions erupting every now and then, hindering the chances of a consensus ever being reached. I'm also asking the same from other editors, in an effort to gather as much diverse opinions as possible, in the hopes of reaching a consensus that satisfies every editor's concern.

Dear Ten, are you still working on Skyfall article? I've withdrawn from it for some time, and I don't feel like continuing there, as you know well why.

Just in case
Hello T. Re your post here Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film#Infobox: .22Influences .2F Influenced.22 I just wanted to pass along a word of caution for you to consider. There is no doubt that the film project has agreed to remove those fields but other projects - BLP & Biography, Novels etc - have not. Also you know how possessive Andy is when it comes to "infobox" person ie nothing changes unless he has approved it. I think you will remember that we had an actor infobox that had been pared down to remove several POV fields like the ones in question and then we lost it at his suggestion. So I want to suggest that we simply add to the film and filmmakers project MoS that the fields are not used and to be removed whenever possible. Now this is just a suggestion and you are perfectly free to proceed as you wish. I only mention this to try and avoid loss of our consensus and any wikidrama that might follow.

- Hi again. I suspect you are getting a sense of what prompted my post above. In one sense things have gone better at the thread you started at the template then I thought they would. IMO KWW and Mr Strad are conscientious admins and they won't let things hang for weeks so waiting a few more days should be okay. Once again this caution is just my opinion and you are free to disregard it. Thanks for you effort is moving things along and have a great week. MarnetteD | Talk 21:19, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- I know what you mean. If anything the little red dot is angrier than the OBOD for talk page messages. Except for when another editors hits the thanks button for an edit :-)
I thought that KWWs edit here took care of things. The discussion might need closing though. Cheers again. MarnetteD | Talk 20:03, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Spider-Man plot section
Hi, Tenebrae. I am a bit confused here about the wording in the plot section of the The Amazing Spider-Man (2012 film) article regarding the scene where the manager refuses to let Peter buy a drink. The "denied a drink" wording generally means that it is "not allowed to be an alcoholic drink because of being underage or inebriated." However, in the case of the film itself, the drink was milk, but I think we may need to reword it. What are your thoughts on this matter? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 18:19, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
- No problem, laddie. I'll see what I can do to fix up that wording. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 18:23, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

DC Profiles redux
Hi Tenebrae,
Back in July 2011, we had a conversation regarding Talk:Steve Ditko#Ditko's "DC Profiles" contribution. I recently discovered that the Grand Comics Database has scans of almost all of the DC Profiles from 1977 to 1982! I've been adding them to the relevant Wikipedia articles as external links. They make for some fun reading. There are profiles for the "big names" like Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, Marv Wolfman, George Pérez, and Walt Simonson as well as for DC production staff such as Bill Morse, Jack Adler, Shelley Eiber, and Carol Fein. Check some of them out when you have the chance.
Here's the link:

Hope all is well,

Two new articles (and one sorta new one)
Hi Tenebrae,
In the last few days, I've created two new articles - Time Warp (comics) and Sol Harrison. I've been meaning to work on both of these for quite some time. The Harrison one has been on my "to do list" since at least November 2011 according to my own talk page archive. In that same posting, I said I would make an article for Richard Howell (comics). That article went "live" last January. Check 'em all out when you've got a chance.
Best regards,

Who created Dell Comics LOBO?
Hello, Tenebrae,
I, D.J. Arneson, created the Dell Comic LOBO.
I was the editor of Dell Comics from 1962 until 1973. You'll find details of my career at Dell in the interview below (as well as a bunch of other personal information you may or may not find interesting) which I wrote in response to my learning that the creation of LOBO was erroneously attributed to someone else. If you need any further clarification or information, I will provide it.
Here's a brief background for my contacting you:
A few years ago I did a Google search to locate copies of books and other stuff I'd written and found a reference to LOBO on collectortimes.com. It contained an interview with Tony Tallarico who said he created LOBO. DING...DING...DING. What!!??
The source address, collectortimes.com led me to Coville's Clubhouse and Jamie Coville who I e-mailed expressing my astonishment at the Tallarico claim. I knew Tony Tallarico very well as the material below will show; that was the source of my astonishment.
My contact with Jamie Coville led to an interview...this is the full interview:
http://www.collectortimes.com/2010_04/Clubhouse.html
Though piqued by Tony Tallarico's false claim, I let the matter drop. I did pursue my search for copies of my books.
The issue came up again as you will see in this excerpt from an e-mail I wrote to Don Dale Milne last December...I'd contacted him as a possible source to locate copies of LOBO:
On Thursday, December 6, 2012 10:41:34 AM UTC-5, DJ Arneson wrote:
Good morning,
There is a serious misperception regarding the creation of LOBO, a Dell Comic published in the mid-60's. The incorrect information, which shows up on various sites, needs addressing.
I was the comic book editor at Dell Publishing through most of the '60s; in fact, the last staff editor. The information needing correction is the claim by Tony Tallarico that he created LOBO. He did not. I clearly explained my role in the creation of LOBO in an interview conducted by Jamie Coville, which I have attached. The specifics are covered in detail mid- to 3/4 of the way through the interview, though you may want to read the whole thing just for the hell of it…or at least to put a perspective on my career at Dell (which you may or may not find interesting).
I'd not really pursued this discrepancy…other than the interview with Coville…as it was so egregious that I felt better simply forgetting the matter. I've changed my mind for recently in a nostalgic review of various comic book websites as well as Wikipedia, for example, the claim that Tallarico created LOBO keeps surfacing. So, my interest piqued, I'm making a few efforts to correct the record and thus am forwarding the following to you to make whatever changes on your site you might, and others when you can. Please feel free to contact me for whatever reason.
Thanks for your interest in comics.
I've never learned how or when the incorrect information regarding the creation of LOBO became a Wikipedia item. But more important, I really want the misinformation corrected.
I'll be grateful for your response and help in this matter.
Sincerely,
NodnoJ (talk) 15:16, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, NodnoJ. I'll be more than glad to read Jamie Coville's interview with Arneson and use that as what we call a reliable-source citation to address these issues in the Lobo (Dell Comics) article. I'm sure you're aware it's not unusual for people to have differing recollections -- see Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze) for a classic example. But between the Arneson interview and the update at the Grand Comics Database, this is completely doable. I'll try to get to it tonight, but it might not be till the weekend ... day job; you know how it is! And another editor can certainly get to it before I can — anyone can edit Wikipedia, so long as they follow the basic policies and guidelines. Thanks for helping set the historical record straight! With regards, Tenebrae (talk) 20:19, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Dell Comics LOBO
WOW! Tenebrae must mean "Faster than a speeding bulletin"...sorry about that, it's dinner time in Connecticut and...
Thanks for your rapid response to my query and for your willingness to pursue it. Do so in a time frame that works for you...day jobs take precedence and I respect that. I'm eager to hear from you when you're ready.
Sincerely, NodnoJ (talk) 22:30, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Opinion
Firstly, bra, you need to archive this page, seriously.
Secondly, what is your opinion of the MOSFIlm? I use a different format across the articles I work on and it's not normally an issue and I think it's a generally superior method to that of the MOS especially because Home Media should not be above the reception of it's theatrical version any more than albums should be. But now there is an issue at Dredd where UKER has reorganised it by MOSFILM and despite giving reasons to restore it I am apparently not giving a reason to restore it, the MOS supercedes my reasoning. But as far as I am aware the MOS is not a rule, it's a guideline to maintain some general uniformity across the articles. It's irritating because I think it looks a mess but I can't do anything about it without violating 3RR. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 23:16, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

A new issue is which photo those who participated before that photo was added would have favored had they seen it, so I'm requesting that all those who did so view the photo and indicate whether or not their favored photo has changed.

Recent Change
I'm referring to This edit.
I propose to eliminate the mention of underling/staff and simply put it like this: Eastwood had the locks changed on their Bel-Air home and ordered her possessions to be boxed and put in storage.
Sounds better, doesn't it?
Two other picky things I've noticed: the caption under the photograph on Locke's page is incorrect; The Gondola premiered in 1973 and therefore the photo cannot be from 1974. Also, a passage under the Domestic partnership section that reads: According to Locke's autobiography, she decided to have the procedures because Eastwood insisted parenthood would not fit the couple's lifestyle needs the word into inserted between "fit" and "the" (fit into the couple's lifestyle).
And I think the photo of Eastwood and Locke at Cannes in 1988 should be taken out of the Personal life section of his article. It's not a very good photograph and since they have been apart for 24 years I see no reason for it to be present. Mystiques00 (talk) 00:11, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

The tone of my move request comment
Sorry – I probably would have used a somewhat different tone if I had realized I was responding to such a major contributor when making my remarks at Talk:Enemies, a Love Story.

I am not sure of what to do anymore. Sources used to be a good thing but not anymore in this page. There is a editor that backs up that Ra's al Ghul (along with the Joker), Galactus (along with Doctor Doom), Apocalypse (along with the Brotherhood of Mutants), Darkseid (along with Lex Luthor) are archenemies in the archenemy page. I consider this ridiculous and some how some way there needs to be a new rule on this subjective term. Jhenderson 777 15:26, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Neither user accepts any evidence I bring up, if you haven't read the whole thing (and honestly I do not blame you), they decided that two editors adding "assumed" in January and February counts as support for their side even when I raise that an average of 100K users every month didn't change it. UKER himself has a personal issue with me, he has admitted on his talk page that he doesn't like that I undo edits of other users (I'm assuming he means himself more than anyone else) and so turned the discussion into a series of attacks on myself instead.

I have attempted to assist in inserting neutral tone and removing derogatory quotes after aggressive disruptive editing by BlueSalix to the article Ronan Farrow.

Critical acclaim.
Your change to The Rains of Castamere is fine, but the reasoning is a bit off. "Critical acclaim" simply means critics praised it, which is basically the same as "positive reviews". Maybe you're confusing "critical" with its other meaning (crucial, important)?
And yes, "best episode of the season" should certainly be sourced. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:34, October 31, 2013 (UTC)

Nick Cardy
Hi. While I was doing some considerable editing to Nick Cardy, I noticed that someone else was also, because it created an edit conflict. Since mine was substantial info, and I figured that whatever other edit was made was probably minimal (because it usually is), I decided to save my info, and then re-incorporate the other editor's info. After saving my info, however, I see that the other editor is you, and that your edits were more than minimal. How should we proceed? Do you want to put your stuff in, and should I, in order to "merge" the two sets of edits? Nightscream (talk) 18:01, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Why Steve Ditko is Ukrainian...
The surname Ditko is Ukrainian. As to his biography his parents were Ukrainians. And my goal is to defend the honor of my people. And I still think that Wikipedia has some paranoia. For many years Andy Warhol was considered by Wikipedia as “slovak” too. So, we have the same story…
I was lucky to defend Keith Tkachuk. His name remains in the article Ukrainian American. Wow…))))))))))))
As to Czechoslovakian ethnicity. This is a myth. This is the same nonsense as “greatbritish”. So, I was right.
Anyway, there is a logical mistake when we call someone “Slovakian” accordingly to the census word “Czechoslovakian”. He can be Czech as well.

Catching Fire
I just wanted to clear up a potential misunderstanding. You seem to think that I was creating an edit-war on the Catching Fire wiki, but I only included a single change; there was an incorrect statement in the wiki before I edited it (saying that lightning struck the large tree every hour; in reality, it was the 12 o'clock event). This was the single edit I made to the page; I was not intending to participate in edit-wars, nor was I attempting to revert to changes that had already been undone by other authors (if this was a reversion, it was a reversion to something I was unaware of and simply a coincidence, but I apologize for that). Either way, I just wanted to clear up that there was no intention here of any sort of edit-war. Also, I apologize if this follows improper protocol; I'm new to the process of leaving messages to people on wikipedia. Username: Mrshadow7 --Mrshadow7 (talk) 7:00 EST, 25 November 2013

Sorry I had cited the wrong guideline - it is actually in WP:LEADCITE that seems to discourage cites in the lede paragraph (which lifespan brackets are a part of). I personally find them unsightly and distracting when they are presented at a first glance to the reader... surely there must be some way that the cites can be moved down to the main prose of the article? – Connormah (talk) 05:56, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Ronan Farrow - Pandora's Box edit
User: Tenebrae let's discuss your edit. I feel that you're holding Ronan Farrow's page to a higher standard than other Wikipedia pages. Many pages inform readers of upcoming projects, promotions, etc. The information was cited directly from the publisher's announcement and used the word "currently" to indicate that the release date may change. I recommend that Farrow's book announcement be kept in the career section unless all other upcoming projects, promotions, etc are taken down from ever Wikipedia biography. I welcome your feedback and look forward to discussing this with you further. ---User:LOP97 — Preceding unsigned comment added by LOP97 (talk • contribs) 01:56, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Websites and italics
I saw at Batman: Arkham Origins that you changed some web-based works not to be italicized. MOS:ITALICS says, "Website titles may or may not be italicized depending on the type of site and what kind of content it features. Online magazines, newspapers, and news sites with original content should generally be italicized (Salon.com or The Huffington Post). Online encyclopedias and dictionaries should also be italicized (Scholarpedia or Merriam-Webster Online). Other types of websites should be decided on a case-by-case basis." It seems like websites like IGN and Newsarama.com and some similar websites ought to be italicized if they publish news. A work like Metacritic probably does not need to be italicized, but Rotten Tomatoes does have both news and non-news pages, so I'm not sure about that one. How do you think we should categorize these websites? Think it's worth a wider discussion? Erik (talk | contribs) 20:38, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
- My first thought was WT:FILM, but it sounds like you want a higher-level discussion? I guess what I had in mind was finding out how the WikiProject Film community would interpret the MOS. Newspaper-based websites are obvious, items like IGN and Newsarama, less so. Erik (talk | contribs) 21:00, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
- I suppose I was thinking film anyway since I tend to work in that scope. I don't think the MOS is a problem as it stands. Just that we should figure out what to do with websites that are not newspaper-based. Maybe it can depend on what it does primarily. For example, ComingSoon.net would be italicized because it reports news far more than any other thing. Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, and Box Office Mojo would not be italicized since they're not known primarily for news reporting. For something like Eurogamer.net, it seems pretty newsy to me. Do you agree or not? Another approach I do take for some websites is that I put the domain in the "work" field (especially for film festival websites) with the festival (or festival host) in the "publisher" field, though I could see a case for just the latter. Erik (talk | contribs) 19:33, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hah, I was just wondering about what the Manuals of Style said before I saw your link to the discussion. I don't know if there's a good tiebreaker, but maybe it could be proposed that these are the options to choose on a case-by-case basis, especially to ensure consistency within an article. We permit that flexibility with different referencing styles, don't we? Basically, WP:CITEVAR. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:04, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for your words. :)
- CMOS, according to Dervorguilla, says, "a website title should be set in roman — unless the site (1) has the same name as an in-print publication or (2) is analogous to a book or periodical. And it says that blogs are analogous to periodicals." I think that ComingSoon.net is in the same sphere as blogs and periodicals, since it is newsy (despite not being original). When we reference ComingSoon.net, it is usually a news item, so I think it is appropriate to italicize that website title. Do you think that can be interpreted differently?

Eric Stanton
Hi, thanks for adapting my contribution to the Eric stanton page. I have also added dates to the Willie Lumpkin page, but they were removed by a bot because I simultanously added some links to samples. I would like to add more of the stuff I found during the maing of my blog to wikipedia, for instance to correct some of the more persistant comics history 'facts'. Like the erroneous statement on the current Willie Lumpkin page that it only ran in 1960. It actually ran from December 1959 to May 1961 and my blog has the material to prove it. Alan Holtz is about the only one who has it (almost) right in American Newspaper Comics, although even he missed that the daily ran to May the 6th and the Sundays to the third week of May. The fact that it ran for 18 months instead of less than a year is important because it is usually described as a badly running flop - which is being perpetrated by Wikipedia. If needed I also have better illustrations, like the spots used to advertising the strip in the first years.
I also tried to fix the 'several artist' quote on the Jack Cole entry, which you caught. I didn't now if the dates on Dwight's version should be entered. But as for you question about the last Sunday, I did say in my post that the next Sunday did not have Betsy and Me. I do nt know how to show that 'evidence', but it concurs with the information I got from Dwiht Parks' son David, which I used for an article in Hogan's Ally. Dwight Parks was hired to fill out the year and his last work was published in December. As I say, the 21st was the last I could find, no Sundays on the 28th. Sadly I have no source for the december dailies so I am not sure about a last date there, but since the strip was not stoped suddenly it would be expected to end in the same week. Strips stopped sudenly (like Willie Lumpkin) often had more Sundays in stock (or even sent to the papers) at the moment of cancellation.
I am glad you took care of these two entries and hope you can guide me on the correct way to do some more this year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ger Apeldoorn (talk • contribs) 07:42, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed that in the article that also references her full birth name, it states that she was born in 1986.

Edits to Don Simpson (cartoonist)
Thanks, Tenebrae, your points are well taken. All the edits made today to Don Simpson (cartoonist) are by me (the subject of the article, oddly enough), and I realized I should register -- I wasn't trying to hide as an anonymous IP. There is a fine line between self-serving self-promotion and getting something better than the rather paltry entry that was up there for so long. Anyway the one link I removed was solely because the ref tag to Comics Database is sticking out on the final entry (it seems miscoded and I don't know how to fix it -- my html skills are a bit rusty and Wikipedia's tagging conventions are new to me). It looks kind of sloppy. Anyway there was no malicious intent, I'm just a perfectionist.
I'll go over the guidelines and try to make my editing more encyclopedic in the future. Any suggestions you may have about creating separate entries for the various titles (Megaton Man, Border Worlds, etc.) that go into more detail would be appreciated, as it seems you've covered a lot of comics material for Wikipedia.

Fannish
Hmm maybe I should post this on the article talk page on the off chance anyone else cares but anyhow ...
Your edit summary was "removed fannish undercutting of Debruge's criticism" and I'd like to explain.
My edit summary was "Rare dissenting critical opinion. I leave it to others to paraphrase other reviews to rebalance the section and avoid WP:UNDUE".
There was no intention to undercut his review but at the time I added that review to the article did not contain any comments from other critics and his criticism seemed like a rare dissenting voice. It did become apparent to me until later that other critics, while praising the performances did not praise the story so much, some even expressing surprise that the film was nominated for a best screenplay Oscar. Also awkwardly I noticed that Debruge was not even the main reviewer for the film at Variety.
I felt like you completely misinterpreted my intent and I wanted to explain. At most I wanted to qualify the remarks, I did not in any way intend to undercut what I felt was a very insightful review (the negative reviews often are). Perhaps after explaining you might want to edit that section further. If you care to comment here within the next day or two I'll likely see it, otherwise I'll see your edits on the article. Thanks. -- 109.79.132.61 (talk) 19:09, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

- I thought that IP 109. (as well as the different versions of that IP and IP 93.107.207.202) was you, Tenebrae. I thought this because these IPs generally use the same expressions that you do while editing film articles in generally the same way that you edit them. And there's the fact that IP 109. signs his or her username the same way that you do -- with two dashes in front of it. But I wondered what reason you'd have for sometimes editing as an IP and sometimes as Tenebrae; I figured it might be for a good reason. Or because you sometimes don't feel like logging in.

- No, not me, though it's clearly someone who, like me, explains things in detail in his edit summaries. Maybe once every three or four months I'll forget to log in after clearing cache or something, but then I notice it after the first edit. Also not the other guy. Or given the above exchange with 109, perhaps I'm Sybil! : ) --Tenebrae (talk) 15:35, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Beyoncé Knowles sourcing
Hello,
Regarding your revert to my Beyoncé Knowles edits:
- Daily Mail is a tabloid thus unreliable to begin with. Wikipedia consensuses have repeatedly declared it to be unreliable. The site is notorious for fabricating information and often poorly supporting claims.
- Huffington Post is also notorious for fabricating information and poorly supporting claims, particularly regarding politics. They are known for having a liberal bias in such reports. Essentially, it is the liberal equivalent of FOX News.
- People is a gossip magazine thus also unreliable to begin with. I've seen no association of it or either of the other sources mentioned with Time, which has a far higher reputation than any of those three combined. It might not be as fabricated/poorly backed up as gossip sources like Star or InTouch or Perez Hilton, but things like that and Us Weekly are still often known to be quite false.
Just thought I should explain. "Reliable tabloid" and "reliable gossip" are highly oxymoronic. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 03:32, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
