editWell, I have read the original series about Spot, and I must say that this article is quite sloppy. It's a shame, since he is one of my personal favorite villains. 85.226.122.205 23:48, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. In the next couple days, I'll try to clean it up some, although I'll probably focus mostly on grammar and structure (I dont' know enough about the character or his appereances to do much else) Darquis 02:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Ultimate Spider-Man -111 AltCover.jpg
editImage:Ultimate Spider-Man -111 AltCover.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.

Name text difference between comics and films
editIn the comics, the Spot's real name is spelled "Jonathan Ohnn", while in the text of Spider-Verse films' scenes, it is spelled "Johnathan Ohnn" or "Johnathon Ohnn". Do you want to keep "Johnathon Ohnn" or change most of them to "Jonathan Ohnn"? The Media Expert (talk) 23:05, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Spot (character) → Spot (comics) – "Character" is too ambiguous given there are about 15 characters listed at Spot (disambiguation)#Fictional characters. Googling for Spot character -Wikipedia shows no evidence of a primary topic, with the results featuring The Good Dinosaur character in first place, followed by two hits for the titular puppy in Spot (franchise), then the Marvel character, then three pairs of the puppy and supervillain, followed by one hit for Spot (Star Trek), something botanical, then another mix of mostly puppy and supervillain with some generic uses (e.g. "spot the cartoon characters") down to the end of page 3.

- In case I wasn't clear above, after the move I propose retargetting Spot (character) to the section of the dab page as a {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}. Thryduulf (talk) 20:13, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Move to Spot (Marvel Comics): Per WP:NCC, because the character DAB is deemed too ambiguous, this should point to Spot (Marvel Comics) instead, as the "comics" DAB has been largely phased out. As the original mover to the character DAB, I was unaware there were other characters of this name. Trailblazer101 (talk) 20:20, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'm perfectly happy with "Spot (Marvel Comics)", I just picked what looked like the common disambiguator in Category:Marvel Comics supervillains, guessing that "(Marvel Comics)" was used when "(comics)" was still ambiguous but I stand corrected. Spot (comics) should still target here though as that does seem to be unambiguous. Thryduulf (talk) 20:43, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

- Move to Spot (Marvel Comics) per above. 162 etc. (talk) 21:22, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Move to Spot (Marvel Comics). Much clearer disambiguator. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 02:17, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
