Fundelementals
editIf you're going to add to Elementals, more power to you. (I was also a big fan. ;p) Any help I can offer? Also, to join, go to the project page ("View project page" & use the "add yourself" link). Welcome. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 16:17, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
- If you haven't already, can I suggest you create yourself a sandbox for a draft edit? (Open up my page, look for any of my "project page" links for the syntax to create one, & just change username & target pagename.) From there, I'd suggest copy-pasting from the existing Elementals page, doing the work in the sandbox, then just pasting back. (Probably not good to copy the whole page, tho; there's an unwritten Thing about doing that, & I don't know how to fix it. :( ) Doing it this way gives you plenty of time & avoids both edit conflicts for long work & the appearance of vandalism if you change big chunks before you get done with it all.

- IMO, most of your "combined" or "separate" issues depend on how much sourced material you've got. I favor separate character pages. (You don't need an enormous amount; have a look at Cap'n Jughead, frex.) I'm not a big fan of covering every detail of a character's history, but that seems to be the standard practise, so I guess it's your call. (Chances are, it's going to get put in anyhow. :( ) I don't distinguish between good & bad guys; the number of appearances will govern how much coverage they get, & so govern if there's enough to justify a sep page.
- The team pages I've seen all have a capsule bio with links out to those; I'd go that way. Here, I'd limit to the major baddie(s), like Saker, & keep the less-frequent apps to a couple of lines, including the link out.
- I'd subhead spinoffs/crossovers under publication history. It seems most sensible there, IMO. You're right, subhead them individually, by publisher, & I'd say chronologically (with dates): if there's, say, 2 Comico spinoffs (it's been too long for me to say offhand :( ), head it ==Publicaton history== ===Comico=== ====Spinoff 1==== (It'll format smaller text each time.)
- IMO, you need to mention Willingham's "creation theory", because it's so different from any other. That said, I'd do it briefly on the team page, then break it out on a separate page, with as much detail as you can find. That will depend on how much is available; if it turns out you only get a 'graph or 2, a new page may not make sens. (It might do for a "creaton of superheroes" page, where the various methods could come home to, so...)
- Do look at X-Men, Captain America, & Weapon X, for handling creators & contributors. You might only need something like Sable's page, with fewer involved.
- On themes, IMO you get some leeway on the comics pages you won't get on the "straight" pages, since you'll tend to attract fans, not the uninitiated, & won't get hammered for "soft" sourcing. Don't ignore it, but don't feel you need to nail down every single detail with a fn. That said, you may still get tagged for "too in-universe" (Which I really don't get... How else do you describe a fictional character?); don't take it to heart.
- I gotta tell you, this looks like a big job. I don't envy you for it. Good luck. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 00:01, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
