Talk:Rat-Man (comics)

Requested move

Propose that It be moved per the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics) guideline, to fall in line with all the others using (comics). Anyone have strong feelings and good reason why not? MURGH ^disc. 23:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose: Comic is fine for talking about a series. If you feel it must be moved, move it to "comic book" or "comic strip". Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 23:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. That is surprising reasoning. A uniform disambiguation guideline is only effective if it is followed, per the agreed general disambiguation phrase used for articles related to comic books, graphic novels, comic strips, and comics creators is "(comics)". To minimize user confusion, it makes sense to avoid terms possibly referring to comedic performance, and avoid variations such as comic book, comic strip.. MURGH ^disc. 10:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

It should be (comics) in this case, per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics), as cited above. This is no different than Robin (comics). - jc37 11:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Um... actually "(comic book}" would be better in this case. There has been at least one other notable character called Ratman, from Willinghams Elementals. (Oddly enough Ratman does exist, though it looks like it's a vanity piece for someone's pet comic book project...)
Even if that is viewed as a non-issue, the consistently used, and preferred, base disambigus term is "(comics)". At the very least this article should move to that. — J Greb 17:23, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Since there seems to be a difference between Rat-Man and Ratman, I agree that it's probably a non-issue. And yes, (comic) should never be used. - jc37 01:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, moved the page. - jc37 16:43, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Expanded

Wrote some things on the article. I hope everything is alright. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.12.117.121 (talk) 23:18, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Wrote more things as the story as developed. I have also added sections regarding chracters and background information. Here's still hoping it's alright.

Changed all instances of "City Without a Name" to "No Name City" in compliance with the official translation used in the animated series.

Added pic from Italian page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leopold Boon (talk • contribs) 23:34, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Rat-ManCoverT01.jpg

Image:Rat-ManCoverT01.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.

Tadeus Brakko

An afro american police inspector, he is Rat-Man's best friend, and easily his only one. He was the only person to support Rat-Man after coming out of the coma and he has great faith in him. Probably it helps their friendship that he is almost as dimwitted as Rat-Man himself, not even realizing, in certain circumstances, Rat-Man's racial prejudices against him. His wife, Clara, constantly cheats on him but loves him deeply as well. They have a son, who is in fact son of the postman"

afro american? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.243.14.124 (talk) 22:40, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, what's the problem? Brakko is afro american...--II ARROWS (talk) 18:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
