Untitled

I changed the article's name to follow the WikiProject: Comics naming conventions. Lang has only used one codename, so there was no need for the article to be named by his alter ego alone. Rajah1 22:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Antman47.png

Image:Antman47.png 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

LA Times: "Marvel games to get a whole lot more 'Ant-Man' content"

Much like they did around Age of Ultron's release, some Marvel video games are going to be updated with Ant-Man content to coincide with his movie, we'll need to get a Video Games section going for 'In other media' (Has the Scott Lang Ant-Man really not been in any video games before?): http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-et-hc-marvel-games-ant-man-20150630-story.html HMS Werewolf (talk) 10:39, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

That infobox image is completely inappropriate: Cluttered, odd angle, you can't make out lower half of costume. It needs to be replaced in order to satisfy infobox standards. This one is simply decorative so it s WP:NONFREE vio as well. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:52, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 12 November 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus that "Scott Lang" is not WP:RECOGNIZABLE as a title. (closed by non-admin page mover) feminist (talk) 16:49, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ant-Man (Scott Lang) → Scott Lang – Per WP:NATURALDIS, since "Scott Lang" already redirects here, and other reasons mentioned at Talk:Adrian Chase. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:00, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics) clearly states that when character is well known by a codename and there are multiple users of said codename, it should be codename (real name). That is the specific policy for this case, and therefore should take priority over the more general policy WP:NATURALDIS. JDDJS (talk) 02:29, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There is a reason why Greg Saunders (the first Vigilante), Adrian Chase (the second Vigilante, but Prometheus on Arrow), Hal Jordan (the second Green Lantern), Barbara Gordon (the second Batgirl) Wally West (the third Flash and first Kid Flash), Eddie Brock (the first to use the Venom name), Cletus Kasady (the first Carnage), Mac Gargan (the third Scorpion), Carol Danvers (the seventh Captain Marvel) and Anne Weying (the first She-Venom) are titled as such. Netoholic and Cuchullain gave good reasons at Adrian Chase's talk page why the page had to be moved from "Vigilante (Adrian Chase)" and I'm pretty sure their reasons apply here too. Users may say that Scott Lang has only one alias (Ant-Man), hence the reason this shouldn't be moved. But the Ultimate Marvel version of him is Giant-Man (the Ultimate Marvel stories are canon), and even the MCU Scott Lang has temporarily been Giant-Man. --Kailash29792 (talk) 07:18, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Just making a point of correction, at least in the case of Carol Danvers the page exists where it is because she is commonly known by multiple codenames, not because her current codename has been held other individuals.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:42, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Dropping the codename might cause some readers to mistake the given name for a real person. Hifrommike65 2:15, 17 November 2018 (CST)
    - Ridiculous comment. It is like saying "Clark Kent" should be titled "Superman (Clark Kent)" because one might mistake him for a real person (in fact, there is a real person named Clark Kent). Kailash29792 (talk) 09:01, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I'm skeptical that "Scott Lang" is as recognizable and identifiable as "Ant-Man". I also think the examples given are cherry picked and unsuitable to this specific situation. Most of them are characters who have used more than one significant codename. Despite the reference to an alternate universe codename for an alternate universe Scott Lang, this is the only significant codename he's known by. This is more in line with a situation like Nova (Richard Rider), Nova (Sam Alexander), Nova (Frankie Raye), or Quasar (Wendell Vaughn). Argento Surfer (talk) 19:57, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Amusing

The current version of the page reads "Rudd reprises his role in Avengers: Endgame [...] where he returns from the Quantum Realm five years after Thanos wipes out half the life in the universe due to a rat unwittingly activating the control pad for the quantum tunnel." You can see where this sentence went off the rails... Let me try to fix it. Airbornemihir (talk) 06:01, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Airbornemihir (talk) 06:03, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

John Byrne should NOT be considered co-creator

Per this, although he should still be credited so in accordance with Marvel's rules. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:40, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
