Notable users
[edit]Would it be worth adding Starman to the list of 'Notable users' of mother boxes? During the space travel section of the 1990s Starman series (collected in the The Stars My Destination and To The Stars collections if I recall) Jack was accompanied by a mother box that adopted the holographic appearance and personality of Jack's father. The mother box was with him for over a year's worth of comics if I remember it right, which I think qualifies it as 'notable'.--Alex Tulloch 12:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Motherbox.jpg
[edit]
Image:Motherbox.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 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.

Who's the uber-nerd who filled this article with "citation needed" tags?

unfinished sentence
[edit]This sentence seems to be unfinished: " Steppenwolf is able to initially to successfully unify the Mother Boxes leading to to beginning ." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.245.121.92 (talk) 17:55, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Mother Boxen and Smartphones
[edit]This article needs a disclaimer/clarification in the lead, something like this: "The Mother Box first appeared in the [issue] of [comic book] on [date]. Despite frequent comparisons to smartphones, the fictional Mother Box precedes smartphones by decades." I do not know the dates or I would add something of this sort myself. It could be worded better. By the way, is there a name for this? "Predictive fiction" or something like that? Surely someone has given a name to the phenomenon of science fiction predicting science fact, and it could be linked, even though Mother Boxes do not really function as smartphones.Wastrel Way (talk) 12:46, 25 September 2024 (UTC)Eric
