TheFlash700. If it wasn't clear, I think you discovered earlier the disambiguation pages are like an overview of the character. That's the page that just ends in Barry Allen and you saw in the previous thread there's some guidelines for how to maintain those. Looks like you tried to update the Riddler page too. Let's stick with the Barry Allen disabmig page. You'll notice on this disambig page there are additional links on this page to different universe versions of barry allen. So there is a new earth barry allen, a prime earth barry allen, an arrow universe barry allen... all different versions of barry allen based on different source materials. That's because there might be different origins or details that differ between these universes. So the TV show version of Barry Allen isn't the exact same as the comic version. And even the comic versions aren't all the same either. There's been different iterations and retcons of these characters over time so it's important to update the right universe of the character. It appears to us you seem to be updating the opening quote to the TV show the Flash for the comic universe New Earth version of the Flash character page. While it's a great opening line (which has origins that point back to a Wally West homage) and I love it.... you need to make sure if you are pulling this from TV show, you update the Bartholomew Allen (Arrow) page that Tupka linked you to. If your quote is to update the Barry Allen (New Earth), we need to make sure we are pointing to the right comic. You updated the quote but not the source... so Tupka is questioning what issue this quote came from. For Riddler, looks like you tried to change the name of many of the universes to be spelled Nigma vs Nygma. While that spelling is true for some universes, it's not correct for all. You'll notice when you did that, it broke some of the links and they turned red instead of being blue. A red link means the target page doesn't exists. Thanks for the attempts to improve, but let's take some more time to make sure you understand there are different universes of this character and you can't go around updating stuff if you don't know the material or haven't read it. I've done the same things as a newbie, and frankly I still am quite new at this but would love to see you come up to speed. Don't take anything we're doing here as against you so much as preserving we have the right quotes with the right version of the character and making sure the links work and names are spelled correctly for that universe. For big changes on main character pages, it's good to hit the "talk" button. Each page on a wiki has a "talk" button that you can click. Here we sometimes make proposals and suggestions before making them. Tupka is recommending you use this before changing a quote on a main character page. While Tupka said all this, it was hard for me to understand it having been new to the wikia recently as well... I hope this was helpful.. Maybe take some time to read more source material and understand universes before updating.
