Ultimate Tarantula edit
You brought the Ultimate Tarantula problem on the Tarantula (Marvel Comics) to our attention at the comics project talk page, so I thought you'd like to know someone is re-adding that unsourced speculation repeatedly now. The page could use more frequent monitoring. Doczilla 05:31, 26 December 2006 (UTC) It's getting worse. The editor with no username and whose IP address keeps changing is getting more aggressive about inserting speculative remarks into a number of articles. Doczilla 22:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Louisville growing and changing edit
WikiProject Louisville is sprouting its wings for 2007! We have a new Assessment Department and a much more refined project template. We have nearly 1,000 articles catalogued for our project. And we still have a lot of work to do. We have 500+ articles left to assess for quality, and all our articles, as always, need tender loving care. Please consider dropping by the project and seeing what you might be able to do to move Louisville-related articles forward. Cheers, and Happy New Year! Stevie is the man!

Font Size edit
Thank you for contacting me. What I have been doing is typing in Microsoft Word and then doing a copy/paste into the Edit section of my article. After one copy/paste, I saved the changes and the fonts started to get smaller. I do not know what to do to correct this. Maple Leaf 21:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Krune. edit
I posted this on Krune's Talk Page.
- I still did not actually call him a troll. I simply said that "I should have realized he was a troll." I did not say "Krune is a troll and should be blocked." Also, I thought the situation would be over after that edit. It seems, however, that's not the case.
Seriously, I didn't call him a troll. I realized my mistake with this User, and attempted to leave him alone, as ChrisGriswold said to do that. I said he left trolling messages, I still did not call him a troll. Acalamari 22:11, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- I understand and almost posted to that effect. It was implicit, and unintentional, but is understood. If I said something like "I should have realized you were a loser", you would think I called you a loser, no? Maybe I didn't, but I sure made it sound like I did. Regardless, I shouldn't have even posted what I did. It's almost like I was looking for an argument, which I wasn't. No worries. --PsyphicsΨΦ 22:57, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- That's fine then. To be honest, I didn't expect to be in the situation I am now. I thought it was all over when I posted that message to ChrisGriswold. Acalamari 23:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Damian Tryp edit
So, how about trying to work on the article, instead of automatically tagging it for deletion. It seems that you bring up all these issues, but you don't have any way to fix it yourself. As a fan of the series, I'd think you would attempt to rectify the problem with edits, not deleation. (RossF18 03:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC))
- Please assume good faith, but do not assume that just because I am a fan of the series, I'm going to want every character in the series to have its own article. Wikipedia is not a fanzine, it's an encyclopedia, and there are many wikis out there for this sort of information to be added. The reason I prodded it is because the article has all those issues and I don't believe they can be fixed (no secondary sources), thus the article should be deleted. As there are no sources, it is on you, as the one arguing to keep it, to fix the article or prove it's an exception. A prod is a very low-level deletion request, able to be circumvented by removing the prod from the article, its real purpose is to spark discussion. The edits I wish to make would merge it with a list of characters from X-Factor Investigations. --PsyphicsΨΦ 13:53, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Ultimate X-Men (story arcs): Peer Review edit
Greetings! In October of 2006, you participated in the discussion for the first deletion nomination of Ultimate X-Men (story arcs). The article underwent a second deletion nomination, which was followed by two months of rewriting, reorganizing, and referencing. It is now undergoing a WikiProject Comics peer review. Your editorial opinion would be most welcome to help us improve the article to A-class status. Thanks for your time! - fmmarianicolon | Talk 07:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Opinion Requested edit
Hi, I'd like to hear you opinion on the following debate. (Merging Alternate Versions of Characters)
Guess who edit
I worry about the people who can work regularly on this thing for years. I hope you are well. --132.235.45.83 23:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Request for your opinion edit
Hi. Can you join this discussion in order to offer us your thoughts? We need as many people as we can get in this, since the 4-6 participants from previous discussions on this matter was felt by some to be insufficient. It would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Moon Knight page changes edit
Hi, I made changes to the Moon Knight page and someone undid them. The page as it stands has 3 big lines at the top saying there are multiple issues with the page in regards to citation and grammar. When you compare Moon Knight to the Batman page, everything on the Batman page is perfect. No mistakes, no layout problems, no grammatical issues. Why is Moon Knight like this? It has sections where there is seriously missing info such as in the publication history and in his abilities and powers of what I have included below, and long winded sections that can be reduced such as in the contributors section and the series issue releases and dates of those.
Publication A Moon Knight ongoing series was launched in April 2006 running to 2009. It was initially written by Charlie Huston with artwork by David Finch.[1][2][3] As of issue 14 of this series, Mike Benson took over writing duties[4][5] with Huston acting as story-outline adviser. 'Silent Knight' a single one off issue was released in 2008 by Peter Milligan and artist Laurence Campbell.[6] The 2006 series ended with Issue #30 (July 2009). The 30 comic series was released in both trade paperback and Premiere Hardcover editions comprising of 5 issues of The Bottom (Issues #1 - #6) which also featured a variant collectible Direct Market Edition cover, Midnight Sun (Issues #7 - #13), God & Country (Issues #14 - #20), The Death of Marc Spector (Issues #21 - #25) and Down South (Issues #26 - #30)[7]. There was only one Annual comic in the series, printed in 2008 and released in the Midnight Sun trade paperback as 'Date Night' it was written by Duane Swierczvnski with artwork by Jefte Palo. The issue evidences something many non Moon Knight fans think he is completely incapable of displaying, that being of the community overseer looking out for the general public's best interests, one who cares, and one who even saves![8] This 'caring side' is further evidenced in issues #29 and #30 of 'Down South'.
This was followed up by a 10 issue series titled Vengeance of the Moon Knight. Beginning September 2009 it was written by Gregg Hurwitz with graphics by Jerome Opena.[9] The character begins to stabilise, evidenced in the previous series final issues, in his capacity to understand the consequences and the reactions of his actions. Still plagued by Konshu he rejects the deities demands taking out his 'vengeance' in less brutal displays. The comic run was released in a 2 issue trade paperback series of Volume 1 Shock and Awe (Issues #1 - #6), and Volume 2 Killed Not Dead (Issues #7 - #10). After Vengeance of the Moon Knight was canceled, Moon Knight was placed in the team book Secret Avengers (appearing for the title's first 21 issues), in the trade paperback/hardcover released Shadowland three issue story-line by Hurwitz and and Dazo, and in a 2010 re-launch of Heroes for Hire.
At the 2011 New York Comic Con it was announced that a brand new Moon Knight series to be written by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev would see a "complete reinvention of the character on every conceivable level."[10] This volume launched in May 2011 ended with issue #12 in April 2012.[11] It featured Moon Knight being troubled by further personalities of Spider-Man, Wolverine and Captain America fighting his mind and 'helping him' be the best hero he can. It was released in 2 hardcover trade issues, Volume 1 (Issues #1 - #7) andVolume 2 (Issues #8 - #12).
2014 - 2015 saw Marvel[12] launch 2 series. The first a new ongoing series as part of the all new Marvel NOW! initiative. Totaling 17 comics they were released in 3 trade paperbacks of From The Dead (Issues #1 - #6), Dead Will Rise (Issues #7 - #12) and In The Night (Issues #13 - #17). The series emerges another aspect to the character in the form of a suited and booted, Mr.Knight. The second 2014 - 2015 initiative was a new compilation series, the EPIC Collection. Similar to their Essential Collection it differed in that this series is full colour. The series so far includes Volume 1: Bad Moon Rising (2014, 504 pages) covering the period 1975 - 1981 and Volume 2: Shadows of The Moon (2015, 512 pages) covering the period 1981 - 1982. [13]
2016 is to see a new Moon Knight series written by Jeff Lemire and artist Greg Smallwood. Taking a departure from the normal expectation of a comic run it is planned to have a large focus on the not so-often explored aspect by many writers (or series), that being, the psychological issues, the mental scaring and identity issues (or multiple identity issues) suffered by super heroes, associated with having an alter ego as a 'super hero' and what being a super hero entails whilst simultaneously undertaking a 'normal life' as a member of society[14]. This has already been evidenced heavily within the Moon Knight series from its very inception but Lemire has detailed to delve deeper into this aspect showing us sides to Spector and Moon Knight yet to be fully explored. [15] Superb athlete, Extreme levels of endurance and durability, Expert in multiple martial arts disciplines, Skilled acrobat and gymnast, Pro boxer, Expert hand to hand combatant, Marine level military training, Avengers training, Weapons expertise, Expert detective and interrogator, Expert in covert and espionage activities, High intelligence, Expert aviator, Expert marksman, Resistance to some psychic assaults, Possesses traditional and sophisticated weaponry, Attains increased strength-senses-agility through moon phases.
Volumes and number of Issues (vol. 1 Nov 80 - July 84): 38 (vol. 2 Jue - Dec 85): 6 (Vol. 3 Marc Spector June 89 - Mar 94): 60 (vol. 4 1998):4 (vol. 5 1999): 4 (vol. 6 2006 - 2009): 30 (Vengeance 2010): 10 (Shadowland 2011): 3 (vol. 7 2012): 12 (vol. 8 2014 - 2015): 17

I would like to know what the problem is with my changes? It tidies the sections up, makes it more easily digestible. I have corrected some of the wording to fix the issues as stated at the top as 'there are multiple issues' with the site. The site says I can change these. Why am I being stopped?
