Did you miss this paragraph of the history?

"As the final effects of the Crisis took hold, Hunter discovered that he was now a man out of time without a home. No one remembered that he had existed. Even his old time traveling teammates had no memory of the Pre-Crisis world. Rip himself had been replaced with a new Post-Crisis doppelganger, also a master of time travel."

The Earth-One Rip Hunter continued to exist after Crisis because of some cosmic fluke, probably related to time travel -- even though there was a New Earth Rip Hunter around to replace him!

No, sorry, I did not miss the history.

But you miss the point that I made about the Note. Here are the full notes... the bit in bold is the one contradictory.

This version of Rip Hunter, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series. Even though versions of the character may have since appeared, this information does not apply to those versions. Despite that, he still survived, because he was traveling through time when the original Multiverse collapsed.

This full note seems obsolete (in regards to later storylines). And the bit in bold seem contradictory (if someone survives, then is not erased from existence).

Like I said, I'm trying to figure out where in Linear Men#History can I mention that Rip Hunter joined Linear Men (as per Legends of the DC Universe 80-Page Giant Vol 1 1#Synopsis_for_"Falling_in_Line").

Yes, it is contradictory, because the first two sentences are from the template, and can't be rewritten or changed. So the third sentence is trying to explain that the first two sentences aren't really accurate.

As to when Rip Hunter (New Earth) joined the Linear Men, and why he didn't meet Rip Hunter (Earth-One), and all of that, I do not know. I think you are going to have to read the actual comics, obviously our synopses aren't detailed enough to make everything clear. Also, as you mentioned in your first post, it is possible that we have some Rip Hunter appearances mislabeled.

There's a lot of comics featuring Rip Hunter characters. :)

In the meantime, I've already edited Linear Men article, and placed a sentence and its ref about Rip Hunter joining the team. The problem is that it causes a contradiction in the text, but I'm not doing anything more, as I lack the info, and also, the sentence I added has a ref. It is the first sentence that needs citation.

I only contacted you, as you had contributed significantly to Ripley Hunter (Earth-One) in January 26, 2016.

Someday, someone might untie the contradiction. That's my hope.

Thanks, anyway. :)

Here it is on the Internet Archive: Earth-B Chronology

Well, it was announced and formed in 2018, but did DC Ink actually publish anything in 2018? It looks like they didn't publish until 2019. So maybe 2019 is correct for Ink. idk...

Me neither. Today is the first day of me hearing about them. I'm gonna stop touching them.

Hey, If I got something wrong, feel free to correct it. I don't remember Time Masters much, so I may have made an error.

Believe it or not, Vandal tried to take the identity of Doiby Dickles.

We had a thread about it on Discussions a while back, but can't find it. Short version: DC.

A lot of Golden Age Captain Marvel stories were pulled down at the request of DC's IP lawyers who said it was no longer public domain. Presumably because with the success of the movie, they want to offer it at DC Universe.

And I couldn't find it because it was in the forums.

I'm pretty sure they said it never was public domain and Comic Book Plus was in error.

I stand corrected. I’m not an IP lawyer.

So according to DC IP lawyers, some-but-not-all of the G.A.C.M. stories were never in the public domain? Dudn't sound right. Did they try to take down all of those stories, but partially fail? Or did their argument only apply to some of them but not all of them? Why, innuddawoids, are there still SOME G.A.C.M. stories still up?

DC asked Comic Book Plus to remove certain issues because those issues are not in the public domain (per DC). We don't know what DC's legal argument was (because Comic Book Plus is not sharing the letter DC sent them), but apparently Comic Book Plus found the argument convincing.

If I had to guess, I would guess that DC found paperwork showing that Fawcett did renew the copyright on those particular issues. If your next question is "Why did Fawcett renew some issues and not others, seemingly at random?" I cannot answer that, but I can totally believe that it happened, because Fawcett's comics division was shut down and I can buy that renewing the copyrights was a low priority.

ComicBookPlus found it convincing, or knew they wouldn't have the resources to fight it in court and cut their losses.

bah

Ah, I see

Also electrocutioneer 2 is based off of electrocutioneer 2 from arkhamverse like copperhead 2

Because you forgot your closing curly brackets

Oh my bad

Sorry, I didn't mean to undo Andy Warhol, as the page already existed. I'll fix that.

For the rest, see the link I referred to (which you may already have done). And you may be right, Neil Armstrong and Leonid Brezhnev and a few others may qualify for pages under #3 (Major Historical Figure), but not all of them...

Are David Bowie and Mick Jagger out of the question?

Personally, I'd say no to them because they are too recent (who knows if rock & roll will even be around in 100 years?), but since we didn't come up with a definition for Major Historical Figure yet, I won't object if you make redlinks for them. (Someone else may, but not me.)

No. I just added that note because Adventure Comics #218 was already where we were making the split, so I figured it needed a note, but because I didn't know the exact reasons I left the note vague. The decision to use that issue as the first Earth-One issue was made in 2011, long before I was here.
