List of villains

Don't worry about the edit conflict — I've fixed it, I think. You might want to double-check to make sure I got all the DC villains you were adding back in, though. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:40, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Can you fix it one las time? i won't edit anymore tonight, your spelling changes on comic book character were right, and also, the new titles are ok too. but remember that i'n new and i don't have you editing skills, so when we edited at the same time, i freaked out. I'd still like to keep sequential art firs and then "or Comics". Secuential art is amore wide concept, remeber that you could put hyerogligpics* or villains there, if you find the pictures!--T-man, the Wise Scarecrow 05:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

It's true that "sequential art" is a wider term than comics, but "comics" is the more widely recognized term. It's supported by the existence of WikiProject Comics. Right now all the villains in that section are from comics as traditionally understood (comic books or strips). More serious sequential art works are less likely to have "villains" in the conventional sense. Even McCloud calls his book Understanding Comics, so I think that it's OK to have "comics" first and "sequential art" second. We can discuss it more widely on the talk page, as well, so that we can get other views. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Er... T-man? What's going on? I had fixed several DC Comics links (such as Klarion the Witch Boy, Professor Zoom, etc.), and in your latest edit you reverted back to a version before the changes (as well as moving the toy/action figures to the top of the list instead of where I'd put them (alphabetized under "toy"). I'll back off for the moment, but I'd like it if you can restore the edits I made, like I restored your recent edits lost in the last edit conflict. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

I dunno, ha, ha, i'm too tired, i worked several hours on the page, i can't think right, man. Try to fix it with out erasing my last aportations. Your changes, except the above mentiones are right.--T-man, the Wise Scarecrow 05:10, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Klarion!!!!!!!!! that's the name!!--T-man, the Wise Scarecrow 05:11, 28 November 2005 (UTC) You are on. i think i finally got it right, i just copied your last edition, but changed novels for literature. --T-man, the Wise Scarecrow 05:23, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll take care of it if you want, and do my best to incorporate all your additions from the last round. Edit conflicts are a pain in the ass, even for experienced editors. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Never mind — you took care of it while I was typing those messages above! :) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:24, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Your message

Hi, T-man. I left a response to your message on my talk page. —Cleared as filed. 13:41, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Straw poll at List of villains

Hey, T-man. Since 213.114.215.199 keeps reverting List of villains back to the old, alphabetical format, I decided that we ought to hold a straw poll to make the consensus on what to do about the page clear. (I thought it was clear before, but apparently it's not clear enough for 213.114.215.199.) I'd appreciate your input on the straw poll — apparently we're supposed to discuss the poll for a week or so before we vote, which seems silly to me, but I want to do this by the book.) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 01:48, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikilinking headers

According to the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style, it should be avoided, because "Depending on settings, some users may not see them clearly. It is much better to put the appropriate link in the first sentence under the header." It's a usability issue. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 09:16, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
