# Talk:John Romita Sr.

Johnny rocks. How does one pronounce "Romita"? I can think of about 10 ways off the top of my head. What's the proper pronunciation? UndeniablyJordan 02:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I have always assumed it was in an Italian-like fashion, a lá roh-MEEtuh / roh-MEEtah... 惑乱 分からん 00:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm just watching "Comic Book Greats" with Stan Lee interviewing John Romita Sr and Jr (available on youtube) and he calls them "Rom-meeta".(84.236.152.71 (talk) 19:33, 30 June 2014 (UTC))

I've removed one sentence because it's not just vague but incomprehensible. I don't know if the editor is a native English speaker, but there is too much here to edit without doing more research into exactly what he or she trying to say. We can start with the use of the WP:WEASEL passive voice at the start, but there's too much more to get into. I can only hope this editor, if he is adamant, will take the time to write this so that, as Wikipedia guidelines require, it is written so that a general-reader audience can understand it.--Tenebrae 13:26, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

For example: "The Romita years cast as parents" -- How can "years" be cast as people? --Tenebrae 13:29, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
OK, I'm on deadline, but I'm Wiki-addicted. See that section now. --Tenebrae 14:31, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

600th Spider-Man cover:
John inked the cover of the upcoming 600th issue of Spider-Man. Didn't know if it was worth putting up. Here's the source:

To see what Romita brought to comics, look at Ditko's Spider-Man then the first issue Romita did after him. It's like Ditko just did rough pencils which were then coloured in, and Romita did the full inking job with all the detail, which were then coloured in. There was no comparison between the two.(84.236.152.71 (talk) 19:33, 30 June 2014 (UTC))

Marvel.com, the ComicBookDB, the UHMCC and every other source spells John Romita Sr.'s name without a comma. An editor moved this and John Romita Jr. without discussion. Given this documentation — and documentation at John Romita Jr.'s own website that he, too, spells his name without a comma — an admin has restored the original, comma-less titles. --Tenebrae (talk) 05:05, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
