HYDRA (whatever...)

You are an idiot, because you added demonstrably false information to the page. I'm out, you can very well keep this project on a fan boy level without my help. "Anyone who has access to these sources can verify this." Yeah, who could argue against a source like this. --91.10.40.17 (talk) 01:40, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

A little favor

I hear you are a great administrator. This favor is this: Block forever the account of this person User:JDDJS. Is screwing me and the other people of wikipedia redirecting articles like the episodes of south park when this episodes are important. Please block this idiot.

Editing Issues response

In case I didn't tell you this yet, whatever I leave in the Edit Summaries is there until the next cache clearing since I am on Mozilla Firefox. This never happened when I used to have AOL. As for the link tinkering issues, I'm not sure what you are saying. Rtkat3 (talk) 1:45, April 1 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I have to cal BS on you ES explanation: Of your last 500 edits as they render under "contributions" only THREE have an edit summaries. That isn't a cache issue, it an "I don't care to" issue. Also, I'm using Firefox as well with "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" turned on under my Wikipedia editing prefs. It reminds me every damn time I leave the edit summary black or just the "/* */" that propagates from editing a section.

As for tinkering, this would be the most recent example. The hash (#) expression is appropriate, but you removed it without comment.

And to add to your problem edits, it is never OK to wikify headers in articles as you did here.

navbox

What do you think of Spider-Man appearing on Daredevil's template and Daredevil appearing on Spider-Man's template as supporting characters. I am not sure about that that's why I am asking? Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 22:05, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

I'd think no. Neither started out in the other's stories and both are stand alone characters. - J Greb (talk) 22:18, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok what about those other alternate version characters. I think the basic mainstream should count since we are linking the alternative version articles. It doesn't matter if there was a cross over or not. Either that or a new section topic about alternative versions instead of it being in on the other topics. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 22:41, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Looking at "Spider-Family"...

• Did Marvel ever really use that any way? It evokes the Batman, Superman, and Marvel Family sets from DC. Those are inter-related characters, these aren't.
• I'm not a real fan of "borrowed" names. So the Jessica Drew article seems very out of place and both Julia Carpenter and Anya Corazon are border line at best.
• Toxin seems very, very out of place.
• Porker, Morales, Mayday, and O'Hara would fit under a "derivative characters" or "Alt versions" section. And even that is iffy in the 'box since it would be limited to the "These are based off of Spider-Man."

A few of those you mentioned is part of my plans. I will show you....when I get done with the navbox. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 23:08, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

How about now. And do you think Kaine belongs on the navbox. I am not sure where he goes if he is to belong since I removed Spider-Man family. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 23:31, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

....and also (now that I notice) if Spider-Man family doesn't belong then Anya Corazon probably doesn't belong either since I find no evidence that she is primary affiliated with Spider-Man. Mostly just her own comic books. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 23:37, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Avengers protection

This page was recently unprotected and we're already having problems. With the imminent release of this high profile film, I think you should reprotect the article to maintain the articles stability and help curb the vandalism and fan cruft that no doubtily will come. Thank you.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 16:37, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

I assume you are referring to The Avengers (2012 film)... (links do help)

- J Greb (talk) 19:40, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

And semi-ed till May 4. If the same shit happens after the US release, we can see about a longer term semi.

Also, the IP has been blocked since they've been doing the same across multiple articles.

- J Greb (talk) 19:48, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, thank you. Although I can tell you now from experience that the page will require further protection after the film's release. IPs tend ignore WP:FILMPLOT even after it has been pointed out to them. I would have suggested atleast a month after the release. That will give the experienced editors time to come up with agreed upon wording for the plot section and other usually contested sections like the Reception.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 22:00, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

At this point I'm looking at three things:

• Crystal Balling;
• Skewing based on analyzing the "marketing"; and
• The Disney/Paramount issue.

The IP was hammering the last one across multiple articles and it seems to be the hot-button ATM.

As for the Plot and Reception sections... I'd rather let them be open on the day of release in the hope that it won't be a debacle. Also based on the general premise Wikipedia uses. This isn't my personal pref, but how things over all seem to run.

• I feel as if I need to let an administrator know about this[1][2]. That can't be the way you state something on wiki article.-99.168.75.244 (talk) 10:16, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Request for removal of Edit Protection Comics Guaranty

I understand the reason why the page Comics Guaranty was fully protected. It has been an issue, but I think semi-protection has been a good deterrent. That article is a mess and I was steadily working on it, there is still a lot of stuff that could and should be removed. Point being I think full protection is excessive and is against the spirit of wikipedia. One disruptive user takes away from the whole community. Basically this person wins as much of non-sourced and poorly sourced opinions are still on the page and no one can edit. I will allow time for a response then I will submit a formal request to downgrade protection to semi-protect. --0pen$0urce (talk) 19:23, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

The main issue is that the editor made it clear they will continue to target the article. That said, I'll drop it back to semi for editing. However, if it starts over again, the full protection gets put back.

- J Greb (talk) 21:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for delving into it. It's nice to see other people paying attention to the article. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 02:25, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Avengers

Talk:The Avengers (2012 film)#International title might need an administrator's opinion on. ;) Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 01:26, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
