Marvel Universe Roleplaying Game

The Marvel Universe Roleplaying Game is a different name and should have a different article. I'll do the article if I have time, but that's unlikely.--69.166.45.32 19:37, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree, the MURPG is sufficiently different. --Rossumcapek 05:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Gaming Supplements

No, we are not going to cut and paste the entire product line into this wiki article, or anywhere else. Keep your commerials off of here. -- 69.109.253.116 07:59, 3 February 2006

I found the product list to be useful information. There's no link to any sellers, and the products have all been out of print for years, so accusing it of being a commercial seems baseless. -- 209.178.134.24 12:37, 3 February 2006

Hi erveybody,

I'm the author of the supplements section of this article.

Though I'm honored in some way that 69.109.253.116 wrongly accuses my well researched/compiled list of gaming supplements as an excerpt from an official source like a database from a publisher or a trader, I definitive disagree with the complete deletion of the supplements section for the following reasons:

• as 209.178.134.24 wrote
  • The list could be useful info for many people (it doesn't seem fair to deny them these info)
  • There are no direkt links to any sellers (I only provided Wikipedia-ISBN-Links)
  • These products are indeed looong out of print and many of them are very hard to find nowadays (even harder when you don't know exactly the title or the ISBN, some traders even deny that certain supplementals were ever published!)
• The shown table only features information. There is neither advertising/praise nor rating of the mentioned products.

I'm a big Marvel fan and I'm gathering information of secondary literature from Marvel (like this list) over years now! And I want to share this information. Therefore the sorrow about sombody recklessly trashing the Supplemental section hits even deeper!

Please, before you trash somebodies work, go to the discussion page first and ask other people about their opinion! If you dislike the mentioning of some facts (for example the Original Price info) go and write about it. We'll probably find a way where everybody can live with. If not, there are other possibilities like a straw poll for example...

Be bold! ...but please also be fair!

(At this place I want to thank Ty for providing the list of supplementals from which I started yeeeears ago!)

As above, I feel the list should stay; it's a useful resource. There is plenty of precedence for keeping info of this sort (e.g., List of Dungeons & Dragons modules, List of Shadowrun books, List of Werewolf: The Apocalypse books). Perhaps it should be moved to a separate article – "List of Marvel Super Heroes supplements" or similar? -- Muchness 03:16, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Moving the list to a separate article would make sense, I vote for that. Also, this page could be better categorized so that its not one big blob. I will leave that for someone with a little more knowledge of the subject matter. -- Hetar 05:22, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

That's fine with me... -- Weapon X (de) 15:54, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Because of Daedalus969's trashing (07:31, 13 January 2011) of the supplements section table (without mentioning it here before) I moved it to an seperate article called List of Marvel RPG supplements as proposed by Muchness. -- Weapon X (de) (talk) 00:31, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Useable source for Wikipedia?

Since nothing for this game has been published in nearly 20 years, and the company that made it no longer exists, is the material still under copyright? Does WotC/Hasbro own the copyrights? If not, can the materials be used as sources for Wikipedia articles? Dr Archeville 20:13, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

The last supplements for MSH published by TSR came out in 1993, so it's more like thirteen years instead of twenty. All of TSR's copyrights are Hasbro's now. And even if the game lapsed out of copyright, the characters all still belong to Marvel, and the game was only released under a license with Marvel. 4.232.123.124 22:38, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:RPG Marvel Super Heroes AS.jpg

Image:RPG Marvel Super Heroes AS.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Cleanup tag

This article has a lot of major issues that need to be cleaned up. Most of these have to do with lack of references, but a lot of the cleanup needed has to do with notability too. Most of the material in the "The game today" section isn't notable--it's fan-written information about fan-written material for the game. Much of the article includes the opinions of the writers, too. And the external links section list is full of inappropriate fan sites.

I've spent a little bit of time improving the article, but I don't have any more time to devote to it today. But I didn't want to tag it with the cleanup and refimprove tags without explaining the problems with the article here on the talk page.

Merger discussion

A single fansite and a couple of lines do not seem to justify a standalone article for Concrete Jungle (supplement). Is anyone here knowledgeable enough to incorporate the information into this article, or is it best turned into a redirect or put up for deletion? BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 21:30, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Same goes for most of the others actually - Weapons Locker (supplement) is a nothing and Project Wideawake (supplement) is basically a reprint of a review BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 21:44, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
