Praise
Just letting you know, in addition to all of the other wonderful things you do around here, you're doing a kick-ass job fleshing out the disambigs.
 * - Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 17:20, May 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Although I'm waaaaay behind you on Elseworlds :) (Kid Flash cost me almost an hour and it's still not complete), I'll just stick to checking the "Other Media" sections. -- Tupka 217 17:22, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Cover Art
This is more like a heads up. I notice that you've been putting up a lot of pages without covers... obviously pages with no covers is better than no pages, but most people just aren't aware of good resources for cover art. If you're ever trying to find covers for a volume, the Grand Comics Database has pretty much everything, and they're updated really well. Example: Tiny Titans.
 * - Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 15:31, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, I know where to get covers. It's just that I'm planning to upload them all when I'm done, or halfway through, or whenever. I find multiple upload to be a lot easier. -- Tupka 217 15:34, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Agent Axis II (Earth-Two)
Hi!

I notice that you've been modifying the new pages I've added for some long unused DC villains. I don't have a problem with most of the edits you've done, but there is one on the Agent Axis II page that I think needs to be corrected.

You've inserted a hyperlink that refers people to the page for Grant Wilson, who called himself the Ravager. Unfortunately, he's not the Ravager that appeared in the same story as Agent Axis. It was an earlier, pre-Crisis Ravager that has not appeared since. I expect that eventually I'll get around to making a page for him as well, but I wanted to let you know that Grant Wilson isn't the Ravager that appeared in this particular story.

Thanks,

 * Thanks for the message. Does this pre-crisis "Ravager (Earth-Two)" have a name, or is he the one-issue guy hired by Two-Face? -- Tupka 217 20:36, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, he's an Earth-One character, a mad scientist type who invented a thingy that gave him his powers and enabled him to become a threat to both worlds. It's been some time since I actually read the story, so the details are a bit fuzzy to me.  His real name was Mark Ronsom.  Story was by Gerry Conway, with art by George Tuska.

JLA/Avengers
I noticed that you added JLA/Avengers as an Elseworlds version of Elongated Man, and I removed it. Not sure if you've read the story, but I know that wikipedia always lists it specifically as an alternate appearance for some weird reason. It's not actually an AU story, the entire thing is completely in continuity... and this has been demonstrated several times, with plot threads tied up in stories like Syndicate Rules and Trinity. Granted nobody can specifically reference "oh yeah, remember that time we were chillin' with Thor?" because that would be copyright violation and also confuse people. So, letting you know for the future, it's not actually a different version than the mainstream characters.

Bizarro-Computo
Nice, quick work getting Bizarro-Computo image on the Bizarro disambig page! Thanks!

I realized that. But it is quicker to create the link and then do a multiple upload than it is to go back and make corrections ~ as you may notice those images are now uploaded ~ and I have done it this way for well over a year without complaints

Jcsrauch 01:19, July 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not really a complaint, just something weird I noticed. -- Tupka 217 01:47, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

thx for the head-up about the images ill try to find something more suitable

Hey
Hey nice to meet you Tupka.FirebenderFan 15:23, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Shayera Hol (DCAU)
On the Justice League Chronicle video game for the Gameboy Advance, they gave Shayera's height as 5'6" and her weight as 120 lbs. Kalaile 18:36, August 17, 2010 (UTC)Kalaile


 * Ah, okay. My bad. It's just that a lot of people come up with guesses for these sizes, so there's a need to run a tight ship. -- Tupka 217 18:44, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah you don't want someone putting her as 6'3'' or something, lol. Kalaile

Thanks for the editing help
Thanks for the help editing my 'DCU Legacies #2' page, it was my first time 'creating' a page. I'm planning on adding the remaining missing issues and can use what I gleaned from your edits and put that to use for them.JMockShepard 22:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for the help by fixing my Heath page...didn't think to add New Earth when I created it - JMockShepard 13:02, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the editing help with Sandor Fane. I'm still getting to grips with this stuff so your oversight is very much appreciated.Tony ingram 10:29, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

...and I think I've just made the same damn error again! Sorry, I was listening, honest!Tony ingram 11:52, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Undone Edits
Umm.. is there a reason as to why you have undone those edits of mine? Are those specific images not allowed on the disambig pages or something like that? --Johnnybravo44 (talk) 21:25, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * We select the main images on our articles very carefully, and your opinion of what might look better doesn't necessarily agree with the group consensus... if you're going to change featured images on big characters like that, you should bring it up on the talk page first. For example, I reverted your image on the Superman page because the one there is a better shot of him, not just a picture of the right side of his body. Also, it's sort of boring having those cliche Alex Ross headshots everywhere.
 * - Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 21:59, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * And besides, the Ross images are already featured prominently on the main page. -- Tupka 217 22:12, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok I was unaware of that.. But i decided to put all of the Ross images up because I saw Martian Manhunter's page had it, so I figured it wouldn't be a problem to the others. Does that mean that image should be changed too? --Johnnybravo44 (talk) 22:36, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!
Just wanted to say thank you for cleaning up my articles. I've been using the guides and trying to use other pages for comparison, but I'm still pretty new at this and have a lot to learn. Thanks so much! Robottroubles 22:54, August 30, 2010 (UTC)Robottroubles


 * No problem. If you come across any other problems, feel free to ask. -- Tupka 217 08:59, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Administrator Nomination
Hey Tupka. We now have a nomination process for new administrators here on the site. I'd like to nominate you if you're willing. You've been doing an awesome job here and I think you deserve the title and the rights that go along with it. If you accept the nomination, I'll officially nominate you for voting. Kyletheobald 19:36, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

I'll second that nomination. Tupka is invaluable to newer users like myself. Tony ingram 19:41, September 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I accept.
 * Now, why do I get promotions everywhere I go? -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 19:45, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Because it's true what they say: If you want to get a job done well, ask a busy person. Tony ingram 19:48, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Batman: The Brave and the Bold - The Videogame
Need help completing the rest of this page as far as character appearances and all that. (VicGeorge2K9 12:48, September 10, 2010 (UTC))


 * Sorry, don't have the video game. What kind of help do you need? -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 12:49, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Just links on characters listed primarily. (VicGeorge2K9 12:56, September 10, 2010 (UTC))

Input on my villain stubs
Hi,

Thank you for your help in making my additions better.

How do you link to the Batman villains template (and othes as well)?

David Peattie


 * It's really easy, you just put the template at the bottom of the page like Batman Villain. You can find the rest of them in the Character Stubs category.

Creeper
why do people keep deleting my edits of Jack Ryder (New Earth) its a "CHARACTER" database not a publications database.


 * Because you're deleting a lot of valid content. This database has information on characters and publications, and both of them are valid to the structure of the site. We recognize that your edits are in good faith, and we appreciate your efforts. But it also doesn't help that a lot of your writing has problematic spelling and grammar. It's nothing personal.

IRC Meeting
Hey Tupka. We still haven't been able to get in touch with the guy who changes user rights, but as you know you're considered an admin at this point. While this isn't exclusively restricted to adminstrators, and it's by no means mandatory, I thought you might be interested to know that we're (by we I mean the admins of this site our brother admins at the MDB) having a meeting tonight in the IRC at 9:30pm to discuss the direction of the site.
 * - Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 23:52, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, couldn't attend. I don't know what time zone the 9:30 is in, but if it was Eastern, it started around 3:30am where I am... and even I have to sleep sometimes. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 08:40, September 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, yeah, timezones exist... I forgot about that. Sorry, my internal clock personally is on Australian time.
 * - Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 11:29, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations
I am so sorry this took so long to get completely processed, but we the powers that be finally got everything sorted out and you are now officially an administrator. Congratulations and welcome to the team! I will suggest that you add yourself to the Administrators page as active before deleting everything in sight.
 * - Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 08:13, September 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Will do. Thanks. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 08:40, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Air Wave Page
Dear Tupka, Not sure what was wrong with the way in which the names of the creators of the character Air Wave were listed. You asked that they be fixed properly, but I do not know what you mean exactly. Kindly restore the Air Wave page and clarify or post the names of the creators properly on your own, if possible. Unfortunately, being a Wiki editor is new for me and I am not well-versed in making changes. As far as I know the names of the creators of Air Wave should appear as:"Murray Blotinoff" (writer) and "Lee Harris" (illustrator) aka "Leland Harris", and "Harris Levey"). Many thanks! Jonathanlevey 11:18, September 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I didn't delete any Air Wave page, only the improperly named creator page. I already fixed that creator issue. Creators are listed under one name, and separated by a semicolon. -- <font color="Green">Tupka <font color="DarkOrange">217 11:21, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Victory!

re: duplicate entries
I think I meant to tag DC 100-Page Super Spectacular Vol 1 DC-12, which is a duplicate of Superboy Vol 1 185.
