List of SHIELD members

Hi. I made an edit to the page based on your suggestion at that article's Talk page. Thanks. -- Tenebrae 19:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

no, thank you for taking my suggestions.Phoenix741 20:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Groovy. Hey, it can definitely use a couple of pictures! Welcome to Wiki — glad to have you aboard!--Tenebrae 20:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stark

You picture of a Stark is not a Stark. AFAIK, they only appeared in GOTG and one issue of Iron Man. The Doctor in C3K was never referred to as a Stark. -- StAkAr Karnak 22:06, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

whoops, sry about that, I took it down. When i goggled it, that is what came up. My bad.

List of SHIELD members

Nice work! Good research and good, pithy descriptions. Bravo.

Couple of quick, strictly technical things: Just reminder that titles are only linked once in a list; that titles are italicized always; and to remember to center the images in the last column.

Again, real nice work you did! Tenebrae 23:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And thank you for the kind words. Do me a quick favor and please return to my talk page and sign your comment, by typing four tildes (~~~~) and the end of your post. Otherwise I'd have to delete it, and it's such a nice comment I'd like to keep it! Thanks! -- Tenebrae 03:02, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we'd spoken about, though of course neither we nor he own the article. I'd say that it doesn't make sense to separate them — one character or another may become "former" at any time, and then editors will have to go in and reshuffle things. And given the way dead or retired characters keep coming back, it seems to me to make more sense to have all the agents together in one list.

Also, while he seems a knowledgeable and conscientious editor, his idenfiers in the "Notes" column go on way too long. A chart isn't the place for detailed bios. I've trimmed where I could, but there's a lot more to do. Thanks for keeping tabs on what's turning out to be a much gone-to article!--Tenebrae 04:35, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox

You can also make a userbox in User:Phoenix741/Userbox and use {{User:Phoenix741/Userbox}} to use it. That keeps the template namespace uncluttered, and unless it's a huge violation of policy, userboxes in your own userspace are generally not deleted. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:X-Men members

The Category:X-Men members that you created was very useful. It could be considered a supplementary navigation aid for X-Men members rather than redundant with the List of X-Men characters. I do not understand why you deleted it. I encourage you to recreate the category and repopulate it. George J. Bendo 09:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

um i didn't make it..........Phoenix741 18:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

X-Men members

I am just wondering why there needs to be a discussion on this subject. I am kinda new to this, but i thought it was plain and simple that it needs to be deleted because it is the same information as a recently created page. If you could fill me in, like if this brings up some big comics topic form before, I would be very great full. Sorry if I sound like a jerk.Phoenix741 01:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing the "it" in this case are/were the newly created categories we were talking about yesterday?

Presuming that, essentially, there's no problem having a category and a list which do similar things. The issue at hand is/was that very recently the group consensus was that the super-team categories should be deleted. Re-creation that soon after deletion can be seen as a "bad faith" re-creation (going against the consensus of the community). However, as I noted on the Wikiproject talk page, it also could just be someone attempting to be helpful by being bold. If I hadn't needed to leave during the situation, I would have attempted to start a discussion with the individual to find out his/her intentions, and to attempt to develop consensus with the group from there. (Instead I dropped a note on an admin's talk page who I saw active in CfD at that moment, hoping that they could help, since I had to go soon.) Note also ChrisGriswold's question to re-affirm consensus on the WikiProject talk page. This is because consensus can change. I hope this helps clarify : )

Oh and take a moment to check out the various blue links in my comments above, I personally find those pages all rather helpful. Any further questions, feel free to ask (I'm watching this discussion : )

Have a great day : ) - jc37 16:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Stark(species).jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Stark(species).jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 16:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vista UBX

Some fool deleted the image off it cause its under some sort of copyright.. --Ard0 00:46, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Power Rangers category

You asked how you change the category name. The first step is to go into each of your userbox templates and change "are a fan of" to "who like". People using those boxes will move by themselves (this sometimes takes a while). Then copy the text of the old category, click on the link for the new category name, paste it in, and save it. If there are people who just used the "category:" line, fix their userpages to the new name. Then, when the category's empty, let me know and I'll delete the old one. Hope that helps.-Mike Selinker 05:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Fuji.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Fuji.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Copyright images on your user page

Hi. I couldn't help but notice you have a number of copyrighted images on your user page. You probably aren't aware, but that's something which is against Wikipedia policy. If you look at our fair use criteria, you can see that number 9 states that Fair use images may be used only in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are not covered under the fair use doctrine. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages. Sorry to be a pain,. but unfortunately all copyrighted images will have to be removed from your user page. Any queries on this, don't hesitate to ask me for clarification. Cheers, Steve block Talk 20:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, those images are to show what I have added to wikipedia. Not just images i think are like "Wicked cool"(which is what i am thinking the rule was made for). If this isn't the case, then I will fix it up. I would like to keep them up though just to show the work I have done on wikipedia(without images i have done almost nothing)

Also i have been hearing rumors about there being a problem with my Power Ranger userboxes being a problem(still in the issue of fair use). Is this true?Phoenix741 20:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to list the images you have added to Wikipedia, you can do that by inserting a colon in front of the Image tag, like so: [[:Image:Quantam(comics).gif]]. This displays as Image:Quantam(comics).gif. This stops the image displaying, thus keeping you inline with policy. The rule was made not to stop people just adding cool images to their user pages, but because adding copyright protected images to a user page is actually against the law. Copyright law protects the use of items under copyright. If you look at he terms and conditions of any webhosting service, you'll notice they include provisions against users posting copyrighted material. Wikipedia is no different, and must comply with the law. The use of images in the article space is allowed providing such images meet our policy on fair use, which is based on the legal basis of fair use, although it is slightly sterner because Wikipedia ultimately wants to be a free resource. I hope that clarifies why the images should not be displayed on your user page; basically, it's against policy and against the law.

Looking at your user boxes, I would have to agree that they too also fall foul of the policy on copyrighted images and the law on copyright. Hope that helps. Steve block Talk 21:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yea it helps, just not the info I wanted. I mean those pics are the only thing that make the user boxes look cool.......... well no offense but I will most likely not change them until I get flat out threatened.Even though I will do it reluctantly. TY again for the help and the other problem is fixed.Phoenix741 00:51, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chess

You messed me up. I had checkmate in 2 moves. Look back, and if you had moved the queen to A4, then put it in D1 after that, it would have been check and mate. GRRRRR... oh well. Also--- you spelled knight wrong. Good luck!!-Hairchrm 00:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Its fine. I actually don't mind, I was just upset because he hadn't moved for like a mont or so, and then I didn't even get the move.... but hey, its okay. I/we'll still win. Don't worry about it!!-Hairchrm 00:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Power Rangers userbox images

I tagged the fair use Power Rangers images you uploaded for use in the userboxes for deletion, as they are not used in any article. All of them are currently only used on user pages/talk pages/userbox pages, and such a use of fair use images is against Wikipedia's fair use policy (see WP:FUC #9). --Fritz S. (Talk) 22:01, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's just the helmets (and yes, I simply missed the yellow one). Even if these were used in articles, they'd still have to be removed from the userboxes. Sorry, but that's the fair use policy: "[Fair use images] should never be used on templates [...] or on user pages." And I'm not an admin, by the way. --Fritz S.

Rating comics articles

I notice you are removing A class rating from many articles based on the fact that they are not Good articles. This isn't how the rating system works. The GA system was introduced after the article assessment system. You shouldn't base the difference between A class and B class on the basis of any GA status but rather on the article. Hope that helps. Steve block Talk 17:34, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It does, just when i saw it, i thought that A ment better than GA but not as good as FA. So since this is not the case i am going to try to get the right anserwer on it or at least get this fixed so it does not happen again.Phoenix741 17:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comics Collaboration of the Month

You supported Marvel Comics, which has been selected as the Comics WikiProject's new Collaboration of the Month. Please help improve this article to featured article standards. Steve block Talk 19:53, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Avengers/Mighty Avengers

A project guide line that may be helpful can be found here.

The spoiler warning I refer to is this one {{future comic}}.

The up shot is that Marvel may have announced it, and may have it in the Diamond's Previews. Heck, they may even have people talking it up all over the place. But for it to be included it needs a reliable citation and it needs to be treated carefully. Just because a company, editor, and/or writer said a thing will happen does not mean that it will indeed happen. — J Greb 21:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you are looking for sources, they are all over the place. I get that it needs to be a paragraph on it, and it should be changed, just i don't have the time to do that stuff right now. But on the issue of sources there is a whole page on the might avengers, and it is stated later in the avengers article that it will be released so now my question is, why didn't you delete that part of it also. So now my real question is, since there are sources and since there is all this other info, why didn't you "wikify" it instead of just deleting it.(note: i see the irony that i typed all of this up and yet i can't type a simple paragraph, but in my defense i am switching between this and homework.)Phoenix741 22:10, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point. Split the difference. Since the statement is there already, and not attached to another paragraph. I've put in the FC tag and an "ref needed" tag. That also means that there's no need to go to the effort to dupe the info. Maybe put the effort into plating the cite you have? — J Greb 01:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am cool with that. Thanks Phoenix741 15:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason that "secretly" is capitalized? I was working on my userboxes and noticed this oddity, but didn't want to change it, as the box is in your userspace. Thanks! JPG-GR 02:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
