I don't think that's too relevant. DC tends to act like they own all the Fawcett characters, even if they don't. And there's nothing wrong with that, the public domain characters are still open for DC to use, even if they don't own them.

Now, this is just a difference of opinion. I think the notes are helpful (otherwise I wouldn't be adding them), and I see nothing wrong with repeating the same information in many different articles, as long as it is relevant and true in all the cases. Maybe it should be a template, so if there is a need to change all the notes it would be easier...

I also don't see a problem with having Notes with no History. Sure, it would be nice if all articles had some History, but if a Note is relevant, why not include it?
