Your edit to Starman(Jack Knight)

[edit]

That information about Harris being the model for Jack is interesting, but needs citation. Thanks, please readd it with the citation. ThuranX 20:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure that there is a proper way to verify and cite this as this arose from a conversation that I had with him at Comic Con '97. Tony, James and Wade were at the DC booth doing a signing and it arose from a discussion early on. Reccomendations?
As you mentioned in your email:

I wasn't sure what the appropriate measure for responding to a deletion/comment was, so this is the method that I opted to use. My contribution regarding Tony/Jack stems from a conversation I had with him at Comic Con 97 in San Diego. Both his agent and he discussed with me (as an avid fan) the physical appearance aspect. The tattoo is not something I am sure i can validate by itself either as there is little data on his particular tattoos, I know only because he showed the piece to me himself (located on his left forearm).

Suggestions? Would i simply use a standard oral conversation citation format? Isn't that inherantly unverifiable unless it has been catalogued?

It is unverifiable. I don't think it's 'bad' information, and in fact, as I said, I think it's great, and SHOULD be in the article, but only if it can be verified. YOu might try searching for interviews where he discusses Starman through google, and go from there. Best of luck.
I also took a moment to reformat this conversation to the more standard wikipedia talk page style. Use one more colon than the person you're replying to, and that will indent your text. Further, keep replies in the section of the question, so that others who come to a talk page can read through the entire problem/discussion at once and find all the replies easily.
One last note. You don't need to email replies generally. What you could've done also would've been to A, reply on my talk page by starting a new section with a title like 'About that starman edit', or something similar. B, you can reply on your talk page. If so, I recommend that you add a note to the top of your User talk saying 'I reply to comments left here on my page, not yours.' so others know to check back for a reply from you. C, you could've started a section on teh Starman talk page about the topic. All three are proper and polite wikipedia etiquette, and only a matter of personal preference, although it's best to pick a way of doing things and stick with it. Best of luck here, hope to see more contribs from you. ThuranX 21:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, welcome to Wikipedia. You had some interesting ideas in your recent edit to the Galactic quadrant article but unfortunately I had to remove it because it seemed a bit like an original thought. If you could find some reputable published backup to your thoughts then please bring them back to the article. Have fun here. If in doubt just ask .... well ask almost anyone, even me if you must lol. :) Abtract (talk) 18:59, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
