Writing Style
Should these articles be written in the past tense, present tense, future past participle twice removed tense, etc.? Roygbiv666 02:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Great question. I'd go with the latter, it just keeps things simpler. :)
 * Seriously though, I think past tense comes to mind, provided you aren't speaking of an event in an upcoming book.
 * Do your best and that is good enough for me.
 * Sorry about not getting back to you, I am not sure why you didn't show up on the helpme category. I guess it's broken. I will look into it...
 * Cheers!

== Angela ==

Hey there Redgreenyellowblueindigoviolet666,

Just to let you know Angela is a Wikia staff member who merged the previously existing Wikia DC comics database with ours when we joined the Wikia family. She doesn't really contribute to the database, but during the merge, she made thousands of edits (via script) so you will see her name pop up quite frequently. :)

Just in case you were wondering. Cheers!

Info for 52 article
Hey Roy, I just wanted to let you know that I borrowed some of your info from the Multiverse article and incorporated it into the "52" section of 52. Let me know if this is cool with you, okay? Thanks! --Brian Kurtz 18:53, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, nice that someone might be using it.

Deleting Spam
Hey Roygbic66,

I noticed you added the categories to delete those spam pages. Don't feel bad or shy about using your magic admin powers to delete them yourself, if you want. :) Usually, I just delete the pages and ban the user infinitely. The reform rate of linkspammers is approximately 0.00%, give or take 0%. ;) Doing an awesome job! You rock! --Jamie 13:39, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Move
Hey! Just a note, you can move pages usually quicker than making the redirect, then copying&pasting. (Comics:JLA/Avengers Vol 1 -> Comics:Avengers/JLA Vol 1 for example) Cheers! --Jamie 16:35, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Dumping the dates from comic issue pages
Hey Roy,

Ideally, I'd post this on the forum, but they seem to be out of commission right now, so I'm just gonna copy this same message to a few of the other admins.

How would you feel about dumping the dates from comic issue pages? They're a REAL pain in the ass quite frankly, and I mostly started doing it because that was what was recommended in the style guide when I first came on board. Besides which, the MDP doesn't really use them, and it might make things look more streamlined. The downside would be that literally HUNDREDS of issue pages would have to be moved. I don't mind doing it really... but it will require a lot of committment.

I'm thinking we could either format it the same as MDP which would be, "Superman Vol 2 266", omitting volume #s for series 1 titles, or we could keep it sorta close to how it is now, "Superman (Volume 2) 266". Or we could just keep chugging along the we've always done. What do ya think? Lemme know your opinion on my talk page. Thanks! --Brian Kurtz 19:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
