User talk:Iron Ghost

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Iron Ghost! I'm Celestianpower. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". Hello. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! Here, however, are a few links to get you started:

There are lots of policies and guidelines to get to grips with but they all make your life easier and your stay more fun in the long run. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or add {{helpme}} to your userpage - someone will come very, very quickly to your aid. Please be sure to sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? ;)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a great time, all the best, sayonara and good luck! --Celestianpower ^talk 14:53, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Phoenix

I wouldn't classify Phoenix as an alien. It's a force of nature but it's hardly like a little green man. I think you should revert your category addition. Joeyconnick 00:00, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight

As a member of WikiProject Comics, I thought you might be interested in the Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight we have set up. Please feel free to vote on the articles listed, although bear in mind that a vote for a particular article means you are pledging to help improve the article. The goal of the collaboration is to improve articles to Featured Article status, as we feel Comics is under-represented in that area. Thanks for your help.

List of limited series

I note you have added Y: The Last Man and Ex Machina (comic book) to the list of limited series of more than 12 issues in length. These lists are onlyt for series which were of finite length and were announced as such with a finishing issue also announced prior to or as the first issue was published. Do you believe these two titles meet such a criteria, and can you source such announcements? Steve block talk 20:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I don't seem to have communicated myself very well. What the consensus on what the lists are for is books which were announced as limited series at or before publication of the first issue. The sources you have provided are interviews which are after the publication. It's doubtful the criterion will be changed, since otherwise works such as Sandman become eligible, and Sandman the series, as opposed to Neil Gaiman's story arc, was not intended to be a limited series, and Gaiman had to manouvre hard to be allowed to finish the work. Y: The Last Man and Ex Machina (comic book) are certainly publications serialising finite stories, and it is possible there is a case for a list of creator owned stories. I hope that helps to clarify. Steve block talk 21:49, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also note, in the interview you pointed me to here, he talks of Y as having "...always planned for it to be an ongoing", which doesn't actually imply it is a limited series, I hope you will agree. Steve block talk 21:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that I have not taken the quote out of context, read this excerpt here: There’s a lot setups and payoffs that that will be coming and subplots that will be addressed. We do have a really set road map, the book’s gonna end somewhere around issue 60, we plan for it to be about five years. There is no pre-determined end issue, which is the criterion established for a limited series. He has already noted it was intended as an ongoing series as opposed to a miniseries, I'm not sure I have quoted out of context since he was asked directly whether it was propoised as a miniseries. Perhaps you could explain how I have quoted out of context. I hope you can accept and agree that there was no pre-determined and pre-announced final issue number. Otherwise I see no way of resolving the issue. I apologise, I hope you can at least understand my reasoning as much as I understand yours. I am not disputing that the books have a finite end, I am merely disputing that they do not meet the criteria for the lists upon which you wish to place them. If you believe these lists should be more inclusive, it would help if you could word a criterion which wouldn't be so ambiguous as to be unmaintainable. Perhaps you could explain why you feel it is so neccesary to list the books on these specific lists? Steve block talk 23:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It's also worth noting Y and Ex Machina were nominated for best continuing series as opposed to best limited series at last years Eisners, [1]. Can you cite a source which lists it as a limited series? Steve block talk 23:19, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tezuka Osamu

"Mitume ga Tooru" in Japanese is "三つ目がとおる". I run google search of this term in English and found this page. http://users.skynet.be/mangaguide/au1925.html. English title appear to be "Here comes three eyes". Hope this helped. FWBOarticle

Re: Defaultsort...

Does it really matter where in the article the tag sits? — J Greb 03:04, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hrm... That's odd. I'd placed it at the top on around 60 articles yesterday. When I left the pages it wasn't showing as a red link. A few, maybe 4, needed a run or two through "Preview Page", but the tag wound up hiding. — J Greb 14:34, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Portrayal of Women in Comics

Hi Iron Ghost. I was shocked to see this article deleted. This was two weeks worth of work that has disappeared for no good reason. I do not know about the person who did the speedy deletion but this is very disillusioning. Maple Leaf 00:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:AXM14.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:AXM14.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
