Talk:A Distant Soil

message: An External link to the late, respected comics historian Don Markstein's site, to his page for A Distant Soil, was removed without stated reason. It is the only other EL besides the official site, so WP:LINKFARM is not the reason. Since Don Markstein's Toonopedia is a highly well-regarded source of researched essays about comics and animation characters, it provides pertinent, informative further reading that belongs here as as an EL. An editor should not summarily remove a pertinent EL with no reason, since under Wikipedia policy each of us has to provide a valid rationale for our edits. If none is given in the next few days, this link will go back in. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:44, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

message: To follow up on the errors in the Toonopedia article, it states that (WaRP) "...sought the same working relationship the Pinis had, with Richard acting as editor and writer of the final script, and Doran co-plotting the stories and supplying artwork." Toonopedia cites no source. However, there are many sources from WaRP Graphics that directly contradict this statement. The most obvious being that Richard Pini was never credited with co-plotting the work in the book. The credits in all issues of the comics from WaRP Graphics credit Doran as the sole creator of the plot. In an editorial, written by Richard Pini in first issue of A Distant Soil it reads "A Distant Soil is the brainchild...of Colleen Doran, the artist on the magazine." Doran is also credited as the sole writer (plot and scripts) on the credits page of the comics while at WaRP Graphics. The reason cited for Pini's brief scripting contribution, according to an interview with both Doran and Pini in Comics Interview, July 1984, pp 50-51, 53, 55-57, 59 and 61, is to help Doran to "learn how to write," not, as stated by Toonopedia to seek "...the same working relationship the Pinis had..." Toonopedia has no factual basis for this statement. Also, in A Distant Soil #6, on the editorial page, when answering questions about why Doran was getting credit for scripts, editor Richard Pini wrote "we thought it was time to make this a truly creator created comic". If Toonopedia gets this much wrong about one comic in the first paragraphs, I don't see why it should be cited as a reference source about this particular comic. It may be a very important research source for others. Just not this one.MayCauseDrowsiness (talk) 01:13, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
