Paper-Man
His name is Horace Throstle. DC Indexes and other comic reference sites say so. The page should be named Horace Throstle.--1966batfan 21:59, May 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's strange, seeing as he's got only one appearance and he dies there. Which DC Index says it? -- Tupka 217 22:01, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Mike's Amazing World of DC Comics--1966batfan 19:54, May 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Who doesn't cite a source... it's not in the issue, and it's his only appearance to date. I would suggest finding a primary source for the surname before we move it back. -- Tupka 217 20:00, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * What's an example of a primary source?--1966batfan 02:35, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * An issue, or the DC encyclopedia, or any other licensed work. -- Tupka 217 06:53, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

http://www.dcindexes.com/indexes/indexes.php?character=148&choice=appearances If you look at that, it clearly says that Paper-Man is Horace Throstle.--1966batfan 19:27, May 26, 2011 (UTC) The comic issue is Wonder Woman Vol 1 165.--1966batfan 19:29, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I know Mike claims Horace's last name is Throstle. But where did he get it from? Like I said, it's not in, Paper-Man's only appearance. So unless Mike has a primary source for the surname, it's not going on the wiki. -- Tupka 217 19:31, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Mike owns that comic.--1966batfan 19:43, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * DC owns the comic. Mike owns a copy.
 * I've read the issue, it's not there. He's the only one of the major comics databases who gives him the surname Throstle. Mike Voiles isn't the absolute inerrant authority on comics, even he can be wrong. Which he is in this case, unless he (or you) provides a source for "Throstle". -- Tupka 217 19:58, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

http://dcboards.warnerbros.com/web/thread.jspa?threadID=2000209167&start=300&tstart=15 It says Paper-Man is Throstle here.--1966batfan 20:10, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also not a primary source. PRIMARY. As in, officially licensed DC stuff. This Indiaink could just have been reading Mike. Please, linking me to every google result of "Horace Throstle" is not necessary. Point me toward a licensed book or website or comic that uses "Throstle". Otherwise, this discussion is over. -- Tupka 217 20:14, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

What's an example of a licensed book/website/comic?--1966batfan 20:33, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * An example would be, or DC Encyclopedia, or , or even a roleplaying book from Mayfair Games. Primary sources are one of the most important things in historiography. -- Tupka 217 20:40, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

I have an idea that will end this argument. E-mail Mike and ask where he got Throstle from.--1966batfan 21:01, May 26, 2011 (UTC) I can't email because my mail client isn't installed, so you'll have to do it.--1966batfan 21:09, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Episodes
There's a lot to talk about when it comes to these.

First off, check out Bloodsport now and see what you think.

I'd really like to adopt a uniform method of naming the episodes in a series that works for both Marvel and DC so that template writing is universal and it's easier for people to move back and fourth across the sites.

Right now, Marvel uses the: "SERIES Season SEASON# EPISODE#" format, much like the Comics format with 'Vol' replaced by 'Season'. You guys generally use: "SERIES Episode: EPISODETITLE", with the Series often not being the same as the main page of the series. I'd like to see some kind of title that uses the main name of the series, incorporates the season number, and some understandable reference to the episode. I think your use of the episode name is cool, so maybe something like "EPISODETITLE of SERIES, Season SEASON#"? It would be nice to use episode numbers, if possible, since it's easier for the template to make automatic determinations of what the next and previous episodes are, but it might not be logical.

What do you think?

Relationship
I was wondering which DC characters had Older Women and Younger Men relationship? --Cococrash11 06:58, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know. Besides, women never age as much as the men do, so there aren't that many "older" women. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 19:00, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

They do age it just they never list. Do you know who know the answer? --Cococrash11 22:18, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope. You can put up a blog though. It's the easiest way to reach multiple users. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 22:20, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Help with page creation
Could you help me create the page Priscilla Rich (Earth-One)? She is the Cheetah, like her Earth-Two counterpart of the same name and made her first appearance in Wonder Woman Vol 1 160. I however, don't know how to use the page creation template.--1966batfan 17:21, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Apparently, you succeeded without my help (which is good, because I was gone for most of the day). Couple of points:


 * No need for the "none.jpg" image. Though, yes, and image is needed, placing an image there will prevent it from being automatically categorized as such.
 * Statistics Policy
 * I'm not sure if Earth-One Cheetah first appears in #160, as the story is presented as a Golden Age one.
 * I think I agree with Darkseid01 on this one, all can be merged into "Priscilla Rich (New Earth)". The Earth-One character is essentially the same as the Earth-Two character, and has aged. Priscilla has appeared post-Crisis (in Our Worlds at War), and was a Hippolyta villain eventually murdered by Minerva. The notable difference with the pre-Crisis character is that she's no longer wheelchair bound. I'm not a Wonder Woman expert, though, and I'd like to hear other people's opinions on this. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 19:00, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

German Version?
Hey Tupka,

is there any chance for a german version of the DC Wiki? The Would love to have one because I'm from germany and english isn't my native language. I'm asking because of the "Language: Español | Magyar" at the end of the mainpage. --JimmyOlsen 15:01, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * You can start it if you want, but I can't really help you with it. Though German is my third language, I'm not very good at it (it's my third language because my French is even worse). I'm not very comfortable speaking it, let alone writing it.
 * You could bring this up on the forums, and I'm not sure if Marvel has a German interwiki, maybe you can get some help from them. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 15:10, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I guess it won't be a problem for me to start it but my question: how can I do it? I'm not that into Wiki. I don't even know how to install a template. Is there a forum for german people? I don't have a problem with english (I really love that language) but my english is a little bit better than my english hahaha --JimmyOlsen 15:49, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is really more of a question for Jamie Hari... he's the site's founder.
 * - Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 15:57, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you, man! Cheers! --JimmyOlsen 16:12, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've tried to send him an email but his account doesn't exist. Is there another chance to contact him? --JimmyOlsen 19:19, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Have you tried his website or the forum? -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 19:26, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thx! :) --JimmyOlsen 10:21, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've waited a few days but he didn't answer the emails. To bad :/ --JimmyOlsen 17:59, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Fosforos
Ok,I'm Sorry!!! Fosforos malone 21:45, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

My words and pictures
from this moment, I've started writing with my words. I put a picture, I did it right?

Fosforos malone 21:45, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Image template. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 21:47, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Recent changes
I just want to make sure I take the right lesson away from all of those edits you just made. So, direct links to character pages that go 'Alias (Real Name)' are only safe to put in the summaries, notes, and trivia, because appearances and quote pages get broken without the 'Name (New Earth)' format? Just checking.
 * - Hatebunny 00:23, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, exactly. Those major characters have different pagenames for to get a better search engine result. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 06:51, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Teen Lantern?
Interesting that Wonder Woman in the episode "Kid Stuff" from Justice League Unlimited would be identified as Wonder Girl. Any possibility that the DCAU John Stewart would be called "Teen Lantern"? Just humoring. (VicGeorge2K9 18:35, June 3, 2011 (UTC))


 * No idea. They're called "Kid Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman/Green Lantern" in the credits. She's called Wonder Girl in the extra And Justice For All. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:41, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Tiny Titans Images
Hey Tupka. You've been killing on the disambigs for animated versions lately. I'm not sure if you have plans for the Tiny Titans or not (and don't feel like I'm pushing this at all) but I found this page at Art Baltazar's website - http://www.artbaltazar.com/tinytitanscharacters. Its a pretty good chunk of the characters and they are nice, clear images. I sent Art an email asking permission to use them. I'll let you know what he says but its still cool to check out in the meantime. Kyletheobald 07:49, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just haven't gotten to it, I guess. Maybe later. That's a great site, by the way. Though I can't recall Phantasm ever making an appearance. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 07:53, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Art said its totally cool to use those. We just need to source it, which I know you always do anyway. Kyletheobald 17:44, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Milestone Universe
Should characters introduced in the current Xombi series (after DC licensed the characters) be listed as Dakotaverse or New Earth residents?

Batgorilla 23:44, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd say (New Earth) in the name, with the "| Universe = " field "Dakotaverse; New Earth" just for completeness. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 08:12, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just so we're clear on this... former Milestone characters appearing in the DC Universe for the first time should have their Universe field designate as "Dakotaverse; New Earth"... I haven't been following Xombi, but any completely new characters should just be listed as New Earth, because there's no shared continuity.
 * - Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 10:11, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

==Time Out for Vengeance Any more info on "Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Time Out for Vengeance!"? Larry1996 23:15, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope. Is it even out yet? -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 23:22, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Kamandi award
You got a Kamandi award for contributing for 30 days. What comes after Kamandi and how long in consecutive contribution days does it take to get it.--1966batfan 20:09, June 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Plastic Man, 60 days. You'd better ask Billy/MrBlonde what comes after, he made the custom badges. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 20:12, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Images
I wasn't even planning on placing those images on the character pages at all since I have no idea how the new DC Universe will work and what pages would even correspond to the correct version of the characters. I'm just supplying the images and letting other editors place them where they need to eventually go.

-Balfro 21:57, June 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's cool. I was a little precautious because every once in a while, somebody pops up on the net and thinks "New stuff! Must. Go. To. Wiki" and then leaves us with a lot of cleanup. And as for the correct pages... we haven't quite figured it out yet. We're waiting for more stuff to come out from DC about it. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 22:07, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Image Template
oh sorry thanks, I dont see the button for it --Joe-Kurr 07:15, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * where is "more options" --Joe-Kurr 15:53, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * ok thanks --Joe-Kurr 16:11, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

You're Awesome
Thanks for finding images for Dragonfly, Silken Spider, and Tiger Moth. I told Billy I bet if I put them up, you'd find images. I don't really say it enough but you are seriously killing on stuff and I appreciate how much work you do. Though I am pretty jealous of the number of badges you have. Kyletheobald 20:09, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Luck has it I reread the Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul TPB the day before yesterday.
 * You like my badges? You can have some of my Wonder Woman badges. Seriously, I've got 57 of them already. With a site so built around categories, you get one every 5 issues or 10 characters. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 20:24, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Moving Pages
Billy and I have discussed having Wikia turn off the Move/Rename Page option for non-admins on the site. They replied that it is possible and actually a pretty easy thing to do. I just wanted to see if you had any objections to this before I have them do it. It might mean we have to do a few more moves but I think that's better than constantly having to monitor the recent activity to find ones that slip through. I'm also going to ask Nathan since he is the one who usually handles the bot on that for us. Kyletheobald 15:29, June 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I remember that was brought up. I agree, it would be handy, especially because of the category magic.
 * A possible downside is that Anti-Lad can't move anymore. He's cleaning up a lot of the MLJ and Quality issues, and encounters DC Index names from Answerguy's days. He moves the stuff and updates the links. Such a case would make Move Rights (like Rollback rights) an option, so if you do contact the guys at wikia, ask if that's a possibility. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 15:38, June 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think since I'm a bureaucrat now, I already have the power to grant rollback rights. I was hoping Billy could look into this before he left though, because he knows more about it than I do.  I'll make sure Anti-Lad is able to move stuff anyway. Kyletheobald 17:20, June 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, we had Wikia do the same thing on Marvel. It's a good idea.


 * You can't move pages without Admin rights, sadly. I'd recommend giving Answerguy admin status, if you trust him...


 * &mdash; Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk &bull; contribs &bull; email) 04:57, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Anti-Lad yes, Answergauy big no. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 06:03, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello Kyletheobald and Tupka217, rollback rights message received --- Thanks for the trust! (Anti-Lad 13:44, June 22, 2011 (UTC))

Template Bugs
Thanks for the heads up. I updated the page those images point to, they should now go to the appropriate section on Help:Template Fields. If you could check some of them out and see if the titles make sense (Editor-in-Chief needs to be fixed for DC), that would be extremely helpful.

I'll correct the gallery link space issue for the comic template.

As always, thanks for the Bug report. :)

&mdash; Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk &bull; contribs &bull; email) 04:45, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Seven Men of Death
Since you just read through the Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul, would you be able to go through and make sure those guys are listed in each issue? I can handle the Robin and Nightwing pages, as I have those on hand, but I don't have the others yet. I'll even make pages for them if we can just get their appearances down. I think there have been 8 members so far (since Merlyn evidently quit) and I have names for 7 of them. Kyletheobald 22:03, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd have to reread it, I'll get back to you tomorrow. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 22:20, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem. I really appreciate it.  I'll try and download them in the meantime so I can pull images if I need them. Kyletheobald 22:28, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Done. There's one guy I don't know the name of (he has a black hood and some chainmail on his chest), and it seems Wikipedia agrees with me, he isn't named yet. I take it Shellcase is the guy with the skull on his face? Razorburn (the knife wielding whiteface) was named in Road Home/Oracle, but not in Resurrection. Maduvu is the dreadlock guy, best possible image would be from Nightwing Vol 2 138. I'm not sure who the guy on the right of your picture is (Alpha/Michael Sommers?). The lady is Whip (well, she's the only one with a whip). -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 10:04, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Cool. Thank you so much for taking the time to look at it.  I didn't know about the chainmail guy but I've seen no mention of his name in my research.  The 7th member in my picture has yet to be named also.  For a group called the Seven Men of Death its weird that they've already had 9 members. Kyletheobald 17:43, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Rotating membership?
 * For most of Resurrection, they're referred to as "the Sensei's Men of Death" or just "Men of Death", it's not "Seven Men of Death" until the last issue. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:04, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

What was I doing wrong?
Hey I noticed you deleted the "Jason Woodrue (Burtonverse)/Images" that I tried to start. What was I doing wrong? I was originally using the "Pamela Isley (Burtonverse)/Gallery" as a basis. Granted my experience/skill with Wikia coding is limited but I'd like to try again if at all possible and perhaps you could point what would be ideal.Bellboyjr 14:51, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * It should be at Jason Woodrue (Burtonverse)/Gallery. You should also use the Image template on images you upload. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 14:58, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, right. I took the descriptions as literal. I.e. "Images featuring Jason Woodrue", as in not containing solely said-character. Thank you. Bellboyjr 15:03, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

re: Villains
Hi Tupka. I have a question. If a character who is a villain in the DCU appears in a story as a bystander should he/she be listed under 'Villains' or 'Other Characters'?

Darkseid01 17:48, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think there's a rule for that. I've done both. Just pick what makes most sense to you. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 17:53, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Kind of the same question... what if the main hero (of their own title) is only a secondary/minor character in said issue? Do they have to be listed as a featured character? (Anti-Lad 18:15, June 24, 2011 (UTC))


 * No, they'd get bumped down to Supporting. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:29, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Nice to see you've got the badge system over here! I'm on the Marvel side, and I normally only came on here about once a month anyhow, but I think I might give these a try. ;) Just curious, but how long have they been on for..? --<font color="Blue">Johnnybravo <font color="Orange">44 (talk) 00:01, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Reason for fixed the Captain Marvel page.
You reverted my edit, saying that I can only fix what's wrong. But at the time I edited the page, it was extremely messed up to the point of being completely unreadable. I noticed that the previous version was fine so I reverted to the previous version. Now that I look at the History, there's no evidence that the page was ever messed up at all. I wish I did a PrintScrn to have proof. It's the same with the Superman page that I also fixed. NetSpiker 23:58, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's strange, nothing seemed to be out of place. Anyway, they're fixed now. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 00:03, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

photos
I recently did a character sheet for Sergeant Casey (Earth - 2). With it of course I uploaded a picture. Seeing how I got a pm from you about this topic, please let me know if I included enough info or if I need to add more details to the pictures I upload.

Thank you for your time.

Cheers.

Galleries
Ah I see. So what I was doing would be correct then if a Gallery had already been created. But since there was no gallery yet created I was missing a step. Is that right? Knightreaver 2:16 pm July 1 2011


 * Yup. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 20:18, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

re: Action Comics renumbering
Hi Tupka. Do you happen to know what will be the last issue of Action Comics before the renumbering? 904 has a date of Oct where Action Comics Vol 2 1 has a date of Sept. The last editor to Action Comics Vol 1 904 did not place an entry in the NextIssue field so I'm unsure as to whether 904 is the last issue before the reboot or if there will be a 905.

Darkseid01 20:13, July 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know either. DC has no info on a #905 on their site yet. I think, based on the dates, that #904 is the last issue. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 20:18, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Smash Comics issue 9
Before I attempt to create this page, I was wondering the reason why it was deleted the last go around?

Knightreaver 2:54 July 1 2011


 * It was created with just a link to the ComicVine article. By all means, create it again. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 20:59, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Trying to. lol. But having major issues figuring this one out. Im still new to all this coding stuff.

Knightreaver 3:00 July 1 2011


 * Just copy the code of Smash Comics Vol 1 8 and update the fields. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 21:17, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yep already one step ahead of you. lol. Thanks for all the input

Knightreaver

Can you join me in user chat. Got some questions that would go faster asking there. If you don't mind.

Knightreaver 4:43 July 1 2011

Fair enough.

Knightreaver 4:50 July 1 2011

Hey
Hey, Tupka217, I was just wandering why you got rid of all of aqualad's info?


 * Read your talk page. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 17:11, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Dang!
Wow man you make a lot of edits in one day. I'm impressed o, and congrats on ranking #1.

Category with thumbs question.
Just wondering... is there a particular reason that some articles with images present a "file" icon instead of the first image in thumbnail view?

Looking at Category:Batman (1966 TV Series) Characters, both Mayor Linseed (Batman 1966 TV Series) and Richard Grayson (Batman 1966 TV Series) have images placed, but it doesn't seem to be translating to a thumb.

- Byfield 18:43, July 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've noticed that before, but I have so idea why it is. "Category Exhibition", as it's called, is fairly new, maybe it's a bug. It's not about cache or file type, that's all I know. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:49, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Take a look at the Black Condor Diusambig page, if you get a chance-the New Earth version is for some reason now listed as Earth-Two, the Earth-X link goes to the same page (which is logical I guess, as the Earth-Two and Earth-X versions were the same one) but the history is the New Earth one, the Earth-Two/X history having apparently vanished. I can't work it out. Tony ingram 17:55, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * The redirect's wrong, it obviously needs is own page. Richard Grey, Jr. (Earth-Two) and Richard Grey, Jr. (New Earth). From what I can see in the page history of both, there never was a good pre-crisis page. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:03, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

I could have sworn I remembered adding a bit about the Earth-Two Condor's mental powers to the history section when I was tackling a lot of FF pages a few months back. I'm sure there was an entirely separate pre-Crisis history-but you're right, it's not showing in the page history! Weird. If the redirect can be altered and the pages separated, I'll happily fill in the appropriate pre-COIE info, but if I try to alter it as is, I'll just screw it up. Tony ingram 19:04, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * There. I'm not sure if the Black Condor in the Wedding Special is Grey (I highly doubt it). -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 19:08, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

I think it is intended to be. It's probably the same ghostly version of Grey seen in the 90's Black Condor series (he didn't always seem insubstantial). Tony ingram 19:43, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Dick Grayson disambig
There's a user, Jdogno7, who has added some images to the disambig gallery for Dick Grayson, and also Barbara Gordon. The problem is that he's added an image of Nightwing from The Batman tv show, and there's already a Robin image from the same show - both of whom are the same Dick Grayson. Do we leave it for the sake of having both versions appearing in the gallery, or get rid of it because it's redundant? - Hatebunny 03:54, July 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * There's no need for mentioning them twice. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 06:35, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

Lana Lang (Pocket Universe) image
The image that appears in Lana Lang (Pocket Universe) is NOT that of the actual character, but rather that of Matrix Supergirl in the form of Lana Lang. (VicGeorge2K9 11:38, July 7, 2011 (UTC))


 * Yeah, I noticed this was brought up before. I'll delete the image and take up Lana in the Image Needed sweep. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 20:42, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

Extremely important message, please read than respond.
I know that this is asking a lot and quite irrelevant here, but I asking a favor of you, dude, could you unblock a user by the name of TomWellingishot, who is from Smallville wiki, who somehow got blocked from logging in and or editing until August 5th, as she has done nothing, I repeat, noting at all, whatsoever. Some bad user called Cloisfan1 has the same IP number as her and they both got blocked for what he did, thanks. Also, she is TomWellingishot, a girl user, who has never ever done something to deserve getting blocked, so please, help this poor girl out. -- ImperiexSeed, 2:55 PM, July 7th 2011


 * I can find no existing blocks for either user. I can also not find any reason why Cloisfan1 would be blocked, as he/she has no contributions, nor deleted contributions. There are no blocks at all ending on August 5. Are you sure you have the right wiki? -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 06:55, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, first of all I can log in and we're for sure on the right wiki. It's on the Smallville wiki.; I just can't edit or comment. Just to clear things up, the IP 24.16.12.42. was harrassing me, got blocked for a month,and the actual user Cloisfan1 also got blocked for a year, also having the same IP, most likely being the same IP user. I just share the same IP as both of them for some reason, so it wouldn't show up in my contribs; they were blocked for attacking me on one of my blogs: []. Cloisfan1' contribs weren't deleted, but it says that he's been blocked for a year: []. The other link to the IP is right here: []. Both blocks indirectly blocked me; sorry if I sound so blunt, but please undo these bans (I don't think that user will be returning anytime soon...)! -TomWellingishot


 * I can't find any block on the DC wikia. I'm not very familiar with the Smallville wiki, but it's not affiliated with the DC wiki, and to my knowledge, none of our admins have sysop status there. So you'll have to ask an admin there, via email or something. I can't help you with this. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 16:11, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

We already tried that - the main (and only) admin there, Kanamekun, refuses to do it... - TWISH


 * That's the down side of a limited number of admins. I don't think any of us talking to him would change anything. You're more than welcome to help improve the Smallville content on our site. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 16:22, July 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * So, dude, could you please unblock her? -- ImperiexSeed, 12:25 PM, July 8th 2011


 * I'm not an admin at Smallville wiki. I'm just a user there. So sorry, I can't. Maybe you can ask someone from Wikia for mediation? -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 16:29, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Mediation? - TWISH


 * This is what Wikipedia has to say on dispute mediation. I'm fairly certain Wikia has something similar. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 16:37, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Oh lol. Anyway, we'll contact the wiki staff. - TWISH

Thank You
Thanks for the link. That and one I found today should get me all the covers I need.

A question about the Character Gallery
I've been in the character gallery recently and I have a question. Why does it go all the way back to the beginning of the letter when you leave the page?


 * I have no idea what you're talking about. Also, technical issues are best taken up with User:Peteparker. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:08, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

What I mean is for example you are in Barbara Grodon (New Earth). When you leave the page. It goes back to the beginning of the B's. OK I'll ask Peterparker my question them.

Congratulations
Nice job on clearing out the character images. The site looks so much better. As for needing a new project, here are some options-image needed, organization image needed, first appearance needed. Or you might want to go back to just indexing books. I know I tend to get burned out doing categories only. Either way, thanks a ton for clearing out one major category for us. Kyletheobald 18:31, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm shifting my priorities to another wiki for the summer and maybe beyond. Besides, I can't compete with Johnny B. He'll overtake me soon...
 * I'm a bit tired of searching images, so I'll skip on Team and Organization for now. I'll look at Trident first. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:41, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Brightest Day Vol 1 4
Just something I noticed. Georgetown is listed in the edit section but doesn't show up on the actual page. I have come across something like this before. What would be the reason and how would one correct it? Thank you for your time. Cheers. Knightreaver July 11. 1:20 am


 * It did show up - except it was underneath the summary needed template, because a wayward }} ended the comic template before it should have. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 07:31, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Blogs
Hey Tupka, any thoughts as to displaying recent blogs on the main page? I feel like this could really help their popularity around the site. We have the most recent 5 (I think 5, maybe more or less) displayed over on the Marvel side on the home page, and I'd say it's increased their popularity, even if some may seem by a little bit. Also, it ends up being a lot easier to find the newest ones. I just figure with all of the new books coming up, it'll be a great chance for people around here to start more reviews, and they might have more incentive to do so if they are famous on the main page, haha. Seems like there is enough room for it in the bottom left corner.. Either way, let me know what you think. Thanks! --<font color="Blue">Johnnybravo <font color="Orange">44 (talk) 05:15, July 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Could be something, but I generally leave the main page alone. Ask Nate. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 07:58, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

A "new world" after the reboot/relaunch?
Hey, what world should we used to after the DC-Universe relaunch/reboot? Will the world still be called "New Earth" or will there be a post-reboot world with complete new sites? Like Kon-El (insert new world here)

I'm sorry for my bad english today but I'm feeling not that well. I hope you know what I mean, man. --JimmyOlsen 11:41, July 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * The way I understand it, it's still New Earth. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 16:02, July 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks man. I don't know how this will work (because of the "new" Teen Titans and all this stuff) but I guess it's still New Earth, too. --JimmyOlsen 16:37, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

The New 52
Hello Tupka217,

RE: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/The_New_52

I noticed "Category:The New 52" and there are several wrong titles and Vol #'s:

I was going to correct them, but started to 2nd guess myself after creating a mess with All-Star Western.

Here are my concerns: All-Star Western Vol 1 1 RENAME --> All-Star Western Vol 3 1

All-Western Vol 3 1 DELETE.

Hawk & Dove Vol 1 1 RENAME --> Hawk and Dove Vol 5 1

Legion of Super Heroes Vol 1 1 RENAME with hyphen --> Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 7 1

O.M.A.C. Vol 1 1 RENAME --> OMAC Vol 4 1

The Flash Vol 1 1 RENAME --> Flash Vol 4 1

The Fury of Firestorm Vol 1 1 RENAME --> Firestorm Vol 4 1 (per Byfield's sugestion.)

The Savage Hawkman Vol 1 1 RENAME --> Savage Hawkman Vol 1 1

Also rename any textless.jpg covers to reflect the correct issue.

Any help would be much appreciated. (Anti-Lad 23:15, July 16, 2011 (UTC))


 * Just an observation, but with the Firestorm title Firestorm Vol 4 1 would be consistent with how the previous runs are being handled. As per:
 * Volume 1 (1978) was published under the indicia of Firestorm with the cover logo adding "The Nuclear Man"
 * Volume 2 (1982-1990) was published under the indicias of The Fury of Firestorm (issues 1-64) and Firestorm the Nuclear Man (issues #65-100) with cover logos for issues 21 and 65-82 matching the indicia; those for 1-20 and 22-49 adding "The Nuclear Man"; those for 50-54 and 59-63 using "Firestorm the Nuclear Man" prior to the indicia change; and those for 55-58, 64, and 83-100 using just "Firestorm"
 * Volume 3 (2004-2007) was published under the indicias of Firestorm (issues 1-22) and Firestorm: The Nuclear Man'' (issues 23-35) with the cover logos matching the indicia.
 * By indicia that would be Firestorm vol 1 (1978) and 2 (2004-2006), (The) Fury of Firestorm vol 1 (1982-1987) and 2 (2011-), and Firestorm The Nuclear Man vol 1 (1987-199) and vol 2 (2006-2007). By cover logo it's much more of a mess.
 * - Byfield 03:55, July 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree. Firestorm Vol 4 1 would be prettier, and have amended my original title suggestion.
 * - (Anti-Lad 04:26, July 17, 2011 (UTC))


 * I actually disagree on Firestorm - I thing it should be Fury of Firestorm Vol 2. We have a lot of series where the name does not reflect the title in the indicia - Supergirl Vol 2, Superboy Vol 2, Firestorm. Personally, I favor moving them, but I'd like to hear other people's opinions. As for all others, I agree on the suggested titles. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 08:15, July 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm inclined to use the indicia, even if means splitting up some of the lists and, likely, adding an optional "Title changed to/from" parameter set to the template. - Byfield 14:01, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Templating and categorizing jobs
Couple of questions: Thanks,
 * 1) Is it not appropriate to either generalize templates and text when dealing with real world jobs that are not limited to comic books or to split off cases where there is a distinct difference in the media?
 * 2) Is it also not appropriate to explain why material and templates are deleted instead of just mutely doing it?

- Byfield 03:21, July 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I probably should have mentioned why I deleted TV Writers (that's what this is about, right?). I actually merged it into Writers (by changing "Comic Issues written by" to "Stories written by") because many writers have done both episodes and comics.--<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 08:15, July 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * That would be the one. However, the template was only half updated, "If you find an issue in the database that is not shown here, please edit that issue adding..." was left as is. It would also have needed the article content of Category: TV Writers to be updated to empty the category. - Byfield 14:08, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

The Monster League of Evil
Thank you for cleaning up my Monster page & making it more in line with other pages on this wiki. I'm not very tech-savvy & I tried to make the page look more professional but it didn't work out. Thanks again... Aaron Hammonds 07:21, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Who's Who Superman entry
If you will consult the issue in question, you will find that the entry after Superman of Earth-Two is the John Byrne, post-Crisis version. The artwork for the entry was done by Curt Swan, but the history details are from John Byrne's revamp, which had been published just a few months earlier. Not everything in the original Who's Who series is pre-Crisis... Aaron Hammonds 20:55, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Redirecting pages to another site
I noticed Queso6p7 has been redirecting all the characters from DCU Online to another wikia. I didn't know if you had given permission to do that. I didn't see anything said about it on the talk pages so I'm pretty suspicious. Unless you signed off on it, I think we need to undo all of those redirects. Kyletheobald 20:55, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Dead Earth Character Pages
I had created some Dead Earth character pages last month, and I didn't realize to use the character template. As I re-create them now, is there anyway to access the descriptions I had written on those now deleted pages? Joshua Weil 21:02, July 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes. Give me the pagenames and I'll undelete them for you. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 21:04, July 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks. They were: Trace Wyndham (Dead Earth), Quetzal (Dead Earth), Bryan Mallory (Dead Earth), and Tris Plover (Dead Earth) -- the last of which I just re-created with a template this time.

I found a Society of Shadows image on the site you told me about, but I don't know how to upload it.--1966batfan 17:10, July 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Rightclick the image, Save as.
 * Get to it on your harddisk. Rightclick, open in Paint.
 * Size it down (Ctr+W). WFO's images are amazingly large, 40% is more than enough.
 * Save under a better filename, "Society of Shadows BTBATB 01" or something.
 * At the wiki, go to the episode, and go to the Episode images category near the bottom.
 * Rightclick an image, Open in New Tab (leftclicking it will get you to the central wikia server)
 * Press edit. See the template? Change the image subject to Society of Shadows.
 * Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C. Copy the entire template. Don't save.
 * Go to Special: Upload
 * Paste the template in the description box.
 * Select the file from your harddisk.
 * Press upload.
 * And presto, you've uploaded an image to the wiki.


 * Rather than copying an existing template, you can also add a new one. Choose "TV Screenshot" at the bottom of the upload form, and fill out the specifics after you've uploaded it. Or you can upload the image without a template and add it with the link in the edit toolbar above. But if you're new to this, I'd recommend the first option. Copying others is the first step of the learning process. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 17:21, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

I can't.--1966batfan 21:38, July 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * At what point? -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 21:42, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

Paint--1966batfan 21:46, July 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Then skip that part. Just rename the image on your PC. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 21:51, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

 * Okay, different road. On any page, you can see "Add a photo" on the right. Click it, you'll get a pop up. Click "More options", and on "Licensing", select TV Screenshot (you need to scroll down a bit). Then choose a file with the top left button, and press upload. You can fill out the template by returning to Recent Changes and clicking the link to the image. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 13:02, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

 * Try it again. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 20:03, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

I did. It's too hard for me.--1966batfan 20:57, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Look, Batfan. I don't know if its your computer having problems or if you are unfamiliar with computers but I'm sorry you're having problems.  At the same time, its not fair to demand Tupka to look up these images.  If he is willing to help you, that's fine. It seems like he's been very helpful so far.  I wouldn't push my luck by being rude if you can't do it yourself. Kyletheobald 22:32, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I will eventually, but I like to see you try, Batfan. Just pick an image, any image, and try the Add a photo button. (we can always delete it later). --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 06:53, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

What do you mean by any image?--1966batfan 19:33, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Press Add a photo. Then click choose/select file. And go to a folder where you have an image. It doesn't matter what it is, we can always delete it later. And click upload. I just want to see you upload an image. Or tell me what goes wrong. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 19:44, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

I did it.--1966batfan 20:40, August 2, 2011 (UTC) It was the Society of Shadows image.--1966batfan 20:40, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well done. I did the Image template for you. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 20:47, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Uploading images is easy now thanks to you.--1966batfan 21:05, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * See? Now all you need to do is add the Image template. See the bar of buttons above the field when you edit something? There's one of a photograph. Click it. "| License = " should be TV Screenshot, "| ImageType = " Character. "| Issue = " is the episode title. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 21:09, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Question
What happened to the rename page feature? It was there before, but isn't anymore. Why not?--1966batfan 21:17, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * We (the admins) discussed it a while ago, removing the rename option like the Marvel wiki has. I hadn't noticed it was implemented (probably because the button still appears for me). It's because not many people, only the responsible editors, know they have to update all the links for the categories. So, what do you want moved? --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 21:22, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

my thoughts
Yes, I can see what you mean, but by the same token, there is a category between normal strength and superhuman strength. However, if you see that the page I created is not in fact in the handbooks, feel free to undo the edits. I just thought it made sense to have an intermediate category for fighting ability.

Request to edit template DC Database:Race Template
I would like to edit the DC Database:Race Template to not show empty trivia or note sections if not specified in the parameter that any exist. I also believe the template should not be protected as only 194 pages use the template. I would also like to note that the template DC Database:Comic Template is not categorized in the Category:Framework. -Odie5533 19:48, August 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * User:Peteparker is responsible for the framework and protects, you should take this up with him. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 20:10, August 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I left him a message but I don't see why you can't help me. Assigning one user as master of the framework makes it difficult for other users to contribute. --Odie5533 20:47, August 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * He;'s not the only one that can edit them, it's just that he's the one that made them and he knows how they work. I don't edit them because whenever I do, things will go awry. I know he's been doing some repair work on the templates lately, but he hasn't done race yet. Just let him know what your concerns are with the template and he'll see to it.
 * I realize you want to contribute and obviously you know what you're doing, however, the templates are protected to prevent damage done by those who don't. So I'm not going to unprotect them. That wouldn't even be my call to make. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 20:55, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Comic Book Creators
Hi Tupka217 with the Comic Book Creators Credits no problem with adding just the writer and the penciler as the main credits I was actually doing that method at first when I started it but I changed my mind because I notice some similar creator credits like inkers and cover artist were appearing as well with the new issues to I thought I should add them but no problem at all with sticking to the main two creators of the new issues thanks for letting me know. Oh and I'll try using the new method you suggested as well. Thanks for the help oh well talk to you later.

I don't want to create 90 image templates just for the sake of licensing. I don't do templates because they are a waste of time. Maybe I'll stop doing images altogether. You are going a little too harsh with the time-out threat. What's so important about licensing anyway?--1966batfan 22:07, September 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Harsh? You've had multiple warnings and shrugged them off. You've engaged in multiple edit wars. You've already had a block. You're on thin ice with several admins and senior contributors here. Tread carefully.


 * It's not just licensing, it's sourcing and categorizing too. You took all of the images from other sites. They need acknowledgment. The episodes and characters need to be added otherwise they won't show up in the Character Images and Episode Images categories. And you don't need to add 90 templates if you hadn't uploaded 30 images you never used.

Questions
Hey Tupka. I saw your edits to the Lyle Edwin page I started. Two quick questions. 1) Not a big deal, but is the (New Earth) disambiguation needed where there is no other Lyle Edwin for him to get mixed up with? And 2) Are "Behind the scenes" sections not permitted? I had added one stylized after those at the Star Wars wikia but it has been removed. — <font color="#C0C0C0">Hunter <font color="#595454">Kahn  22:28, September 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * 1) See the Naming conventions.
 * 2) Your behind the scenes info was redundant. Creators should be under the |Creators = field in the template, First Appearance under | First =. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 06:08, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

Elastic Lass
I notice you redirected this to Lois Lane but that page has no information about when she became Elastic Lass, it only lists it as an alternate name. Wouldn't it be good to explore that identity on a separate page so we can add details without cluttering LL's main page? Tyc 03:34, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * No. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 06:59, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Images
Re the images situation: pretty much all of the images I use come from my own collection, but I have no idea how to insert the licensing info. If I click on the add image icon while editing a page, all it does is insert a load of licensing info into the page I'm trying to edit without seeming to give me an opportunity to actually upload anything; so, I simply bypassed it. I'm obviously missing something obvious in the process, but I've been missing it for months and asking me to use the template doesn't help if I don't know how to (sorry, but this is rather frustrating). I'm doing something wrong, I know that-but what? Tony ingram 18:10, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * The key is not doing it while you're editing a page. Then, it does work. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:17, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

So I need to upload the image separately before editing the page I'm concentrating on? How? I know I'm being thick, but I don't get it. Is there somewhere I should be looking for an upload option on the wiki's home page or something? Tony ingram 18:28, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Tabbed browsing? On any page, there's "Add a photo" on the right. Richt clock, open in new tab. -<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:32, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

I don't actually know what 'tabbed browsing' means. If I click on 'add photo' it just invites me to upload and add the photo direct to the page, it doesn't offer to open up a new anything. What am I missing? Tony ingram 18:37, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Tony, you're aware of pages like Special:Upload and Special:MultipleUpload right?
 * - Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 18:42, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't, no. I've never seen them before, to my knowledge, Billy. I know I'm being thick, but I still can't see what I'm meant to be doing. Tony ingram 18:44, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Is it possible to somehow add the licencing info after uploading the image to the page? Tony ingram 19:13, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can access the image in Recent Changes. Add this, or click the little polaroid photo on the top of the page, above the edit window. It's fifth from the right. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 19:17, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Recent Changes doesn't seem to work as a link, but I'll try the other tomorrow (going to close down for tonight shortly). Sorry to be such a pain and thanks for the assistance, all. I'm pretty much useless with technology so it's all trial and error and I can at times be very slow on the uptake. I'd never even looked at the internet or touched a computer until I was 38...Tony ingram 19:23, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, look, sorry-I've just uploaded an image (to Lucille Lane (Earth-Two)) and I'm now trying to figure out how to find the file to add the license information, but I'm obviously still missing something. Where am I going wrong? The link you suggested, Special: Recent Changes takes me nowhere. Getting a little frustrated, now...Tony ingram 17:51, September 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * File:Lucille Lane.jpg. If you can't find it in Recent Changes, you can also just search for it by typing the exact name in the Search field.


 * When you're at the image, you need to add the template. There should be a row of little light blue boxes on the top. If not, you need to adjust your preferences like this: go to your username in the top right of the screen, a menu should drop down. Select My preferences. Go to Editing. Select "Show edit toolbar (requires JavaScript)", and save.
 * When you do see the boxes, pic the fifth from the right. Mouseover reveals the names if you're not certain.
 * Then, just fill it out. You'll need the license Comic Single Panel, and the image type Character. For the rest, you only need to add issue, universe, subject and artists. Just check some other images to see how it's done: File:Godiva Dora Leigh 002.jpg, Ron Troupe All-Star Superman 001.jpg, Grifter 007.jpg, Byth BTBATB 01.png. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:14, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

When I type it in, it just shows up as a red link, it's showing me the file doesn't exist! Tony ingram 19:49, September 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * True. I missed a space. Corrected.--<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 19:52, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

OK, I think I've got it! Does the Lucille Lane file now look right to you? Tony ingram 14:22, September 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * It looks absolutely okay. Good job. It gets easier after a couple of times. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 14:25, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

And having finally worked out how to add the licence to an image after uploading, now the layout seems to have changed again so that uploading the image first is no longer an option (the 'add photo' box has vanished). I'm totally lost again and now thinking this is some sort of conspiracy to make life as difficult as possible. I give up.Tony ingram 08:50, September 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * For what I can see, it's still there. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 08:56, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Then I'm not seeing what you're seeing, somehow. All I can see is a shrunken toolbar top left which has no option for uploading an image, and text filling the rest of my screen.Tony ingram 08:59, September 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * At the right of the text box (about half way), you'll see a tiny arrow. If you click it, you'll see the add photo button again. It's easy to miss; in fact, it had to be pointed out to me too. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 09:06, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Found it; thanks, Tupka. Why do they have to keep changing things around? Tony ingram 09:13, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Peace
Regarding Charles Peace, I'm not sure crediting him as created by Moore, Reppion and Oakley can be considered correct since they didn't create the original version of the character from the 1960s on whom the Albion version is based. Tony ingram 17:23, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Black Beetle/Hector

Well the Black Beetle tries not to make sense most of the time that helps if you don't want to be killed as a child by a fellow time traveler

Changes are that there are two Black Beetles

When Jaime Reyes fought the the KDRA Hectors sister Nadia was killed and he blamed the Blue Beetle. He took the reach scrarab DJo Za with him and took a false name Joshua.

In the Black Beetle's first debute in the Booster Gold books he was adressed as Joshua by Supernova 3 aka Mister Mind. And had a hate toward Jaime Reyes who took her away from him.

that version was last seen trying to stop the second blue beetle who tried to repair the timeline by being shot by Maxlord again.

when the black baatle apeared yet again i won't bother you with that detail

but he first attacked Jaime Reyes goating him to unlock his last mental blocks against his rebooted scrarab.

in the fight he first claimed to be hector then he claimed he was not hector but he killed the guy and took his scrarab then he claimed he was jaime reyes from the future. something Jaime refused to believe as he tried to kill his kid sister.

after the fight he said to give greetings to ted kord with Jaime replied then he is dead. Black replied with " I know" while blood ran from his nose was it the beating or somthing else.

So is there on black beetle or two?

Is it Hector? or only until at the part super nova 3 was defeated? Is it Jaime Reyes? a vilians word means nothing Ted Kord? Or Max Lord? if so he isn't him not just yet

Or is he somone else but this whole time or was hector the beetle for a time?

Like I said before the guy is a mystery your guise is as good as mine. --Ouroborosi 20:43, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Different pages for different appearances?
Hey Tupka217,

I've got one question for you: is there any chance we can get different pages of characters, locations and so on for different appearances. I guess you don't know what I mean. Let me explain:

There was a Version of Checkmate in Smallville (TV-Series) and there is/was the Checkmate Comicversion. Well, we got two pages but why we can't get a disambiguation page for this and rename Checkmate to Checkmate (New Earth). Same with locations like Belle Reve. Belle Reve's a part of New Earth, a part of Smallville, a part of the DCAU, a part of Earth-16 and so on. It would be better if we can get a single page for every universe and a disambiguation page for the whole hyperlinks. The reason why it would be better: Belle Reve - there are different patiens, different staff members, there are different things that happend. Same with Checkmate and so on.

I hope you know what I mean.

All the best --JimmyOlsen 11:44, September 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't like a kazillion different Arkham Asylums. I'd say it's okay for teams, but locations, items and vehicles can be done on one page. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 11:47, September 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok - thanks for the quick answer. --JimmyOlsen 11:55, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Cole Cash (Earth-50) to Cole Cash (New Earth) and so on?
Hey, it's me again. I thought we need to creat a new page for Cole Cash, Max Cash and so on. They got their Earth-50 pages but they are now introduced to New Earth. That's are two different versions of the charaters like ... well Amanda Waller (New Earth) and Amanda Waller (Earth-16) or Selina Kyle (New Earth) and Selina Kyle (Earth-21).

I hope you know what I mean. What do you think? --JimmyOlsen 08:40, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Current policy is to use the universe of origin (that's why Static is Dakotaverse, but Teshomé is not). At this moment, it's not really sure whether the WS characters are transplanted from Earth-50 or New Earth analogs, so right now, I don't think creating new pages is necessary. But new characters introduced in Grifter and Stormwatch would be New Earth. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 08:59, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you, man! :) --JimmyOlsen 09:01, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Mercury/Hermes
Lately, I've taken the (cough) Herculean task of updating/inserting appearances of several Gods of Rome and Gods of Olympus. It's come to my attention that Billy would like the deities to be merged to New Earth status, as the Earth-One and Two versions are essentially portraying the same character/continuity, (paraphrasing his comment).

I believe "Hermes (Earth-One)" could be removed from the Mercury and Hermes Disambig pages (and site), as there are "no appearances" of him (no complications, no bots, no moving of pages, just a simple delete).

Would you mind giving your attention to the Mercury/Hermes pages or let me know your thoughts about it.

(Anti-Lad 18:00, October 3, 2011 (UTC))


 * The problem with Rome/Olympus is that before War of the Gods, writers conflated the two (Kid Eternity Vol 3 is the most recent instance I can think of). War of the Gods explicitly sets them apart as different deities. So, you could make an article about Hermes (New Earth) and Mercury (New Earth), except Earth-S, Earth-Two and and even some Earth-One portrayals of the Greek God are called Mercury. Pre-Crisis, Wonder Woman never faced off with Ares, only Mars.
 * There's little consistency on the history of the gods, every writer just uses them and ignores everything else.--<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 20:55, October 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Please keep Hermes on Mercury's page, and vice versa. That makes sense. It does not concern me that Pre-Crisis writers mixed up the Rome/Olympus Gods. I am not questioning which of the deities is the correct portrayal in a given issue.


 * I'm asking if Hermes (Earth-Two) and Hermes (Earth-One) should be deleted from his and Mercury's Disambig pages (and from the site). He is known as Hermes (New Earth) and Mercury is Mercury (Roman God) (New Earth). The older Earth versions of Hermes are essentially portraying the same character.

I'm trying to figure out how to add the previous and next appearance links. Obviously I wasn't doing it correctly, so a little help? Livingston7 14:26, October 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I had been wanting to drop by your talk page, just wanted to finish something first. You did:




 * While you are correct - the Spectre is Aztar, not Jim Corrigan - your mistake was the next and previous appearance. Adding two pipes (|) instead of one, previous appearance was listed as next...




 * Though if the previous appearance is the preceding issue and the next is the following issue, you don't need to add anything...

or


 * ...would be enough. I hope this clears things up, let me know if you need some more help on anything. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 14:38, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, it depends. If you're talking about flashbacks, many of them can't be firmly placed anywhere in a timeline. I think it's best to stick to publication order as much as possible, though I'd make and exception for things like 52 Vol 1 and One Year Later. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 16:50, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Honda special
Supergirl is on most every page of the book. She's on THE COVER! When a character is depicted on the cover of a book with their name on it, requiring further proof is some sort of sign of pedantic megalomania with which I'm not yet familiar.

The Vaguely Empathic device is precisely that. Superman does not explain anything about it except to say "some alien race" "gave it to him" and that it has empathic ability. Could that be MORE vague?

The reference to wrecked automobiles is mildly tongue-in-cheek. I beg your pardon.

And if Red-links DO nothing. WHY do you have them????

What is going on in this wiki that the admins are so uptight as to delete an article while it's being written and edited, then delete it a second time based on an elitist belief in the standards they hold in their heads? Is this a religious organization I've stumbled into? Are the tenants of the sect so sacrosanct as to merit DELETION rather than... you know... EDITING? Isn't the purpose of a wiki to allow editing from the community? Do I misunderstand this? Do YOU misunderstand this?

Sipfan 09:30, October 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * My point was you added Superman as the featured character, but made no mention of Supergirl in the appearances section.
 * Redlinks are for pages that should eventually be created. If not, there's no need for a link. We'll never make a page for "Some Drunk".
 * We may be uptight because we get a lot of crap. Some of it is well-intentioned, but with our heavy use of templates, we might not be the best place for wiki novices to start (that's why anonymous editing is disabled). --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 09:42, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Characters of the new 52
Hey man, I got a little question again. What do you think about a category "Characters of the new 52"? So we could collect every character of the new 52/the DCnU in one category. --JimmyOlsen 06:26, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not with that name. And which characters should be in it? --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 07:27, October 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Every character who exist after the relaunch. Old ones like Lois Lane, Guy Gardner and Michael Jon Carter and new ones like Andre Briggs, Emerson Esposito and so on. --JimmyOlsen 12:16, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think that's necessary yet. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 15:09, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Tigress
If you think Wikipedia is a reliable source, the earth-2 Tigress is Paula's mom and Artemis' grandmother, i looked up there in the Tigress (comics) page Larry1996 19:23, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, my bad, should have checked that. Who's Who Update '87 #1 does indeed list her as Paula's mother. However, I couldn't find anything in #5 about it not being true. It can go back in, but it would need a ref to the source. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 19:38, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Toolbar
I don't know if this is just me, but when I tried to edit something a few minutes back, I noticed the toolbar had disappeared. It isn't showing on the Marvel or British Comics DB's either. Is this a glitch at my end? Tony ingram 09:01, October 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikia was a acting strange yesterday, maybe that's the reason. It's working fin for me wikia wide. You might want to check your preferences. At the tab Editing, make sure "Show edit toolbar (requires JavaScript)" is enabled. If it still doesn't work, check to see if you have JavaScript enabled. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 09:15, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

'Show edit toolbar' isn't showing up anywhere. How do I see if I have Javascript enabled? It was working fine when I added Hulk Comic (UK) 37. Tony ingram 09:19, October 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Go to your profile in the op right of the screen. Mouseover, select My preferences. It should be the third tickable box at "Editing".
 * To see if js is enabled, you'd best google it. Just google "enable javascript" and the browser you're using. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 09:22, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

"My Preferences" is not showing up...Tony ingram 09:27, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

It should, but it isn't; clicking for the drop down menu does nothing. I can't even log out. I've just checked BTW, and I do still have Javascript enabled, it just isn't showing up here. Tony ingram 09:35, October 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Then I'm out of ideas. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 09:36, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Could this be some sort of local issue, do you think? For the past couple of weeks, when editing, the Wikias have all been very slow to load for me (often, I'd get a message saying the script was unresponsive just before it became responsive) but I'm not having any such problems on other sites. Tony ingram 09:39, October 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I had slow script warnings a month back, and it was local. You'd best contact wikia staff about it. Tell them the problem, your location, the message you're getting. Maybe they're already on it, or lese they can track down the problem. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 09:43, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Batman: The Brave and the Bold galleries
Noticed some guy created an improperly formatted gallery page here: Batman: The Brave and the Bold/Gallery. All of the episode pages from the show link to it. On the other hand, the gallery page linked from the actual show's page is for Batman: The Brave and the Bold (TV Series)/Gallery, which doesn't exist, and hardly anything links there. I'm not sure what to do about it, so, what do you think? - Hatebunny 18:39, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Ursa
thanks for correcting the date of the series! :D But, there is a minor problem.... the part about alternate versions was copied from the (now defunct) wikipedia page. It was kept largely because we don't have seperate articles yet for all of the versions of her.--Marhawkman 14:53, November 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * and it seems that the 1966 date is part of the NAME of the page..... Actually, what IS the right date? now I'm confused. :( --Marhawkman 14:58, November 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * The Ruby-Spears series is the 1988 one. The 1966 series was Filmation. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 15:08, November 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * So there was 2 different ones and when I added the link about the Ruby-Spears Ursa I linked the wrong series? and furthermore, since the movie was filmed in 1978 and the Ruby-Spears Ursa was from 1988 it IS possible that URsa was the original intended name for the character?--Marhawkman 16:09, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

Quotes
Why did you edit the quotes I added? In both cases I quoted directly from the comic book. Your edits have made the quotes incorrect.

 * That is exactly what I mean. I apologize for not doing everything perfectly.  This is my first time editing any Wiki page.  Despite my inexperience I did manage to get the quote correct the first time.  The actual quote is... "My Uncle Earl always said, a base of operations just makes it easier for your enemies to find you and kill you".  Would you please add back in the 'you' you deleted?  Thank you.


 * If you correct it here, it will properly display on the quotes page. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 16:02, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the information. I think I will leave wiki page editing to the professionals.  This is suppose to be a fun activity and getting condescending reprimands from a mod isn't really much fun.  Take care.

DCAU Cheetah's real name
You reverted my edit of the Barbara Ann Minerva (DCAU) page, noting that Cheetah was named in the promo material and the comics.

In Adventures in the DC Universe #3 Cheetah is named Barbara Minerva, but this Cheetah actually looks like Barbara Minerva. She is an archaeologist with long brown hair, small human-like ears and gets her power from magic rituals. This is completely different from the Cheetah who first appeared in the Justice League episode Injustice for All. They can't be the same character, so the newer DCAU Cheetah cannot be Barbara Minerva. I doubt that any promo material mentioned her real name as she was a very minor character. Even Justice League: The Animated Series Guide only briefly mentions her. NetSpiker 05:24, November 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Per the conjecture policy here, if she's based on the version from the comics, she gets the real name from the comics. The background given in the cartoon is that of Minerva. It's certainly not Priscilla Rich.
 * Also, DCAU is not a continuity, but a "continuity family" (to borrow a term from another fandom). They're treated as the same character. Similarly, there's no need to have two articles for Helena Bertinelli, despite the comics and the cartoon version's radically different origin story. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 07:40, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Kyle Rayner (DCAU)
I remember seeing the episode as a kid. Abin Sur sends the ring to find the one who is without fear and it locates Superman at the Daily planet in Metropolis. Jimmy Olsen has brought his friend Kyle Rayner in to submit some of his artwork to Perry, and Kyle and Clark happen to be in the bathroom at the same time when the ring arrives. Just as it is about to reach Clark, Kyle opens up a stall and the ring bounces off the door on to the floor. When Kyle puts the ring on he is transported to Oa. I haven't seen the episode in 15 years, but I remember it because it is the only time I've ever seen Kyle used instead of Hal. Joshua Weil 18:13, November 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope, Clark is never considered by the ring, and he's not in the bathroom. He investigates the crash site and the Guardians talk to him. Also, Kyle isn't transported to Oa until the end of the episode. See here. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:16, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

Wonder Woman/Covers
Hey, I want to add the images from the Wonder Woman Vol 1 #600+ page to the Wonder Woman/Covers page in between Volumes 3 and 4. It is only 15 more images, and if I cid them then the whole page will appear in chronological order. I thought I would ask permission first. If you're okay with this, I will need you to delete the extraneous cover image page when I am done. Thanks. Joshua Weil 15:35, December 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I understand. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 15:40, December 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you go to the Wonder Woman/Covers page you will see that all of the covers are present except for the 15 from Volume 1 #600-614. Instead there is a link up top to another page, Wonder Woman 601+/Covers which has those 15. I want to move them to the main covers page so they are all together and add them in chronologically. Joshua Weil 16:32, December 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Fine by me. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 16:38, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

The merge is done, if you would be so kind as to delete Wonder Woman 601+/Covers. As I was editing it I noticed there is no cover gallery for the Annuals, I'll go back and put them in later today. Thanks! Joshua Weil 17:01, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

Janelle Asselin
The person who removed that information from the Janelle Asselin page is Janelle Asselin. I'm trying to think of how to approach explaining that as an encyclopedia, removing information is... not helpful to us, but she obviously doesn't want her information up there. Your thoughts? - Hatebunny 18:38, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I figured that out too, trying to see if the image was accurate (can't tell, but we can do without it, and use the DC Nation image instead). Do we have sources on the rest? If yes, than I see no need to remove it. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 18:56, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * The image was accurate, but she found it creepy that I had to do a pretty intensive google image search in order to source it. The other information was accurate as far as I knew. Facebook, interviews, that sort of thing. She claimed it wasn't.
 * I've written up a message apologizing if she was disturbed, and inviting her to provide us with an image she would prefer, and to fill out her own accurate information. In the interest of not getting on anyone's bad side, I also said that we'd respect her wishes to remove any personal information she'd rather was kept private, though. sigh. - Hatebunny 19:00, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Snapper Carr Badge
I don't understand how it gives out the "Lucky 1,000th Edit" badges. I was the only one on here working for a stretch of like 40 minutes, I made edits on close to 40 pages, and when I finish I see that User:Darkseid01 had just earned one six minutes ago. When I looked at the wiki activity, he hadn't made an edit in hours. I don't understand how he got the badge. This isn't a complaint about him, he's a good dude and does good work, I just can't figure out how it give out a badge during that span of time, and gave it to anyone other than me. Joshua Weil 15:08, December 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * He is editing. He's doing files. They don't count for the edit count and category badges, but you can get Snappers for anything. I've had them for editing pages, editing files, uploading files, even for a blog reply once.
 * The problem with Snappers/Lucky Edits is that when you really want to get one, someone else gets it, and you only get them when you're not expecting them.
 * Darkseid's in the lead with Snappers. That's nothing but a side effect of his high number of edits. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 15:14, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

So he can be doing work that counts as an "edit" but doesn't show up on the WikiActivity page? Joshua Weil 15:20, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

re: Cover images
I understand your comment, but is there some problem with entering the artist in the Penciler field? It should be there so that the image is referenced by the Penciler Images category.

Darkseid01 13:44, December 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's redundant. Not harmful, just redundant. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 13:45, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with you that it is redundant, but since I am already in the template, I see no harm in categorizing the artist in two places, and if I were to leave the template without doing so, if at a later date I wished to make use of a more accurate Penciler Images category, I would have to revist those covers specifically in order to fill in the field which strikes me as an inefficient use of my time.

Darkseid01 13:54, December 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's because we have two different categories for a reason. If you're going to put things in both, then there's no real need for a CoverArtist gallery. They're kept separate so that if I'm not looking for CoverArt, I don't have to look through all the CoverArt.
 * - Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 14:40, December 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * 2¢...
 * Actually there are at least two reasons, depending on how a user searches, for the multiple categories.
 * If you are looking for examples of an artist's pencils, it is easier to skim one (Penciler) category rather than two (Penciler and Cover art). Ideally, if textless are of all covers existed this would be moot. Unfortunately even for relatively recent series there are "missing" art only covers.
 * It also limits what you are skimming through if the artist has provided pencils, inks, and colors for covers but not on every cover they worked on. If you want just penciles, having to open each cover image to check is counter productive.
 * The same applies for a user looking for cover art only by a particular artist. The draw back being they may have to open each file to see what aspect(s) the artist provided.
 * - Byfield 21:49, December 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * That brings to mind something I suggested on the forums a while back that was basically scoffed at by the Marvel admins. Should we have sections in the template for CoverPenciler, CoverInker, and CoverColourist instead of the general CoverArtist?  I've noticed almost all the new books are crediting at least the cover penciler and inker and many the colourist too.  To me it seems we should break them up.  The marvel admins argument against is that they are all "cover artists" and that is enough.  I just think if we are given the proper credits, maybe we should credit it as given.  Kyletheobald 22:10, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Missing covers
That was so long ago (to me anyways) I can't recall. I assume I was going to go back in and add them and forgot. That sounds right, as I don't see why I'd create a comic page with no cover. I mean, just yesterday I skipped a couple issues of Mutt & Jeff because I couldn't find the cover images. --<font color="Blue">Johnnybravo <font color="Orange">44 20:32, December 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * And of course right after I saw that, I make a mistake. lol. I've added on all the images for the pages I created that didn't have them. Glancing through the covers page, it would appear on my first go-through of adding them in that I have mistaken a few between DC and Prize.. I can put a move stub on them to make it easier, and once they're moved, wouldn't mind hunting down the DC covers too. Sorry for the confusion and mistake.

Magic
Hi, I tried to create a article about magic and it has been deleted. As source I use the Books of Magic, which I think is considered canon as about the history of magic in DC Universe, along with other more recent comic books (such as Day of Vengeance and the Shadowpact series).

The issue is about the template and should I follow the model of other articles (History, Powers, Paraphernalia and so forth). Tuxer 02:40, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

 * The preferred way is cid, except on really large ones where it's plain links. I wasn't familiar with Cis, but I don't really like it; it's not really handy with long storynames or multiple story issues. --<font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 07:48, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
