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)

Creating subarticles

It's not something to vote on, it's standard Misplaced Pages policy. Please read Misplaced Pages:Guide to writing better articles#Long article layout before you do anything else. Dyslexic agnostic 01:57, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

I added a link from List of villains#Superman to Enemies of Superman. Dyslexic agnostic 02:06, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Superman

Good job so far on the edits, man! You expanded "supporting characters of", but I'll let it go for now given your other reductions. Way to go Eddie! Dyslexic agnostic 04:11, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

On the Batman edits

It really is not done here to enforce your view of propriety by deleting texts on aspects of your favorite topics that you are uncomfortable with. It is also against the rules to take controversial information out of an article and relegate it to a less conspicuous place. Can we resolve this between the two of us? Haiduc 22:34, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Yucateco, eh? My Mexican friends refer to themselves as "Los hijos de la gran' chingada". We've all been screwed by the conquistadores, and one way that they have screwed us is that they hammered their twisted morality into our otherwise clean minds. Mas en Yucatan, donde los mayas si se querian entre ellos - los hombres querian y ensenaban a los muchachos asi como lo hicieron los griegos. And the Mayans were the highest culture Central America saw, more civilized than their Aztec and the Tlazcaltec neighbors. So now why do you have such a problem with hints of the same in Batman culture? And even if you do have a problem with that, why project it onto the article. Other people will see your deletion as the acme of uncool -- it is censorship, be honest. And ease up on the size argument, it is spurious in the extreme. Or, if you stick to that, take out something else since what you are doing is flagrantly against the rules but I do not want to go through the tedious process of RfC's and all that nonsense. You are clearly against the topic, you should not dump that on others. We have a duty to inform, period. Y un poco de orgullo en to propria historia, no? No te dejes colonizado!

Que seas poeta esta bien, y no te encuentro grosero, tal vez. . . autentico. Y lo de la historia no es de ser marica sino de ser hombre y no tener miedo de amar lo hermoso. No es cosa de espantar, ni a ti ni a nadie, pero que quieras tu de cortarle los huevos a Batman por que no te gustan, esto no es equitativo para los que tienen otra atitud. Es aquel mensaje tu ultima palabra? Haiduc 23:25, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
