message: I think there should be a page dedicaded to her, I mean she dies, is from the future, is born in the past? Its very confusing, Im sure there is enough about her to warrent a seperate page, not just a redirect back to The Flash(Barry allen)
:Yes, there needs to be an entry. She is very much a character separate from Barry, and she continues to show up as recently as a few months ago. Her relationships with Wally and Bart are important in addition to her relationship with Barry, and "she wrote" the history of the Flashes. --Chris Griswold  (☎☓) 07:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Towards the end of the flash run, before crisis, did Barry get plastic surgery due to a severe beating that changed his physical appearance permanently?  I seem to remember this happening in the last few issues of the flash comic, but am unsure.  I think this would be a significant addition to the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.164.189.7 (talk) 22:38, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Batman once said "Barry is the kind of man that I would've hoped to become if my parents hadn't been murdered".
Where'd that come from? Admittedly I never memorized every single thing ever said by Batman, but that sounds very out of character. Does anyone know where and when this was published? If we can't cite the source, can we remove it? Even if we can cite the source, I vote dumping it anyway cuz it sounds pretty stupid. ZachsMind (talk) 18:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I found The Flash in the above category, I admit I'm not a big comic reader so forgive me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge but he doesn't teleport in the true sense of the word does he? he's just very fast. He couldn't appear the other side of walls or bars for example, could he? (without running around them) I skip read the article and found nothing of teleporting mentioned in it. Should it be removed from this category?  Even the vibrating thing would this be teleporting or more like phasing  -  Carlwev (talk) 11:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The fair use of :image:Flash rebirth.jpg in this article is questionable. Listed below is/are the reason(s) for this:
While the image is a representation of a significant thing, it is redundant within the section with the Final Crisis page. In that respect, one or the other only should be used. Since the section is labeled "Return", the FC image is more relevant than the teaser for a later series.
If the above concern(s) can be addressed in light of the relevant policies and/or guidelines, the image use can be retained. If not, the image needs to be removed from the article.

replies: text: Rebirth #6 works better with the guideline. In the #2, he is in a slightly contorted pose. Because Wally, Barry, AND Bart have used the costume, it stands to reason that the guideline's language of, "the picture must show the whole of the head and torso" would help to single Barry out among the Flashes. "The ideal image is a full-body, three-quarter picture of the character standing straight..." This applies to Rebirth #6 more efficiently than #2. --CmdrClow (talk) 03:39, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:   Flash: Rebirth #2 as image 

message: This is a bit more general than the above section.
Right now we've got the following up for the infobox:
*The current piece derived from Flash & Green Lantern: The Brave and the Bold #1 (call it "A")
*The cover of The Flash: Rebirth #2  ("B")
*The artwork for The Flash: Rebirth #6 ("C")
And we're getting Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Style guidance#Superhero box images quoted.
Some observations:
The guideline does State a preference for a static, full or "torso and head", facing forward, 3/4 view. "B" does not meet this.
The guidelines also shoots for "the most universally recognisable appearance of a character". "C" falls short on this.
Keep in mind, the image only deals with the contents of this article. Since Wally and Bart are not, and should not be, depicted in this article, there is no justification for the unmasked image in this article. It would be more than appropriate at Flash (comics)#Barry Allen, where it honestly looks like we've got redundant images across Barry, Wally, and Bart.
Also, a simple punch out crop would be preferable if there is going to be insistence on the "no background". And if we're going that route "A" has a problem since a background was added in place of actual artwork. And "B" can't easily be "punched out". The guideline does leave a good deal of room though with point #3 - and since the Flash is the prominent element in "B" and the unaltered section which "A" is based on, the "punch out really isn't necessary.
There are a few other issues, but they stem more from 1) the lack of an actual publication history section and 2) an odd case of weighting the sections in the FCB.

message: Under Fictional Character Biography> Tragedy
The last sentence of the second paragraph reads;
"Unfortunately, when Barry is unable to make an appearance at his own wedding, his fiancée eventually descends into madness and stommpes out of the room walking in somber."
I know almost nothing about this subject.  The reason I came to this article was to learn about the Flash, This sentence caused more questions than it answers.
My thoughts;
Unfortunately (Flourish, not necessary), when Barry is unable to make an appearance at his own wedding, his fiancée eventually (When?  If this takes place at the wedding "eventually" should be removed if it happens at a later time it should be noted) descends into madness and stommpes (Not a word, "stomps" or "storms" perhaps) out of the room (What room?  The chapel?  Her kitchen? Her parent's family room after she eventually descends into madness four days after the wedding date?) walking in somber.
