Talk:Atom (character)

message: I've added a spoiler warning to the paragraph that gives away the ending of the Identity Crisis miniseries.  My inclination is to delete the whole paragraph, and replace it with a note that The Atom last appeared in Identity Crisis and is not expected to appear again in the near future.  Any objection?

replies: text: What's the point in removing the spoiler? By doing so, you also removed a important event from the character's article. Spoilers are supposed to be there. If not, why would exist a "spoiler alert"? Lesfer ☎ 18:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

text: I totally agree concerning long paragraphs and detailed plot synopsis. But I think that crucial facts -- as Jean Loring -- have to be there. Lesfer ☎ 01:54, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't think so. Cray, for instance, is not relevant enough to hold an article for himself. Plus, this article is already divided in sections. If we start writing articles for every version of characters sharing a name in common, this is going to be a mess. Leave it for more relevant names as Flash and Green Lantern - holders of larger background history. Lesfer ☎ 13:53, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Identity Crisis spoiler

message: I seem to remember reading a story long ago where Atom was able to move quickly from one place to another by traveling at "the speed of electricity" through an open telephone connection. If I'm not imagining this, should it be added as a notable power? (I'd guess the story was from the 60s or 70s, but this was long ago, and I certainly didn't pay attention to details like that at the time.)

replies: text: It's a power that the Atoms (Ray Palmer as well as Adam Cray) have actually used quite often, so yeah, it is notable. Kusonaga 12:14, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Since the new comic isn't out yet, the main pic shouldn't show a spoiler that a reader can't avoid. Anybody got another Atom pic that will serve until July? CovenantD 05:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Why prune the infobox? and further, why to a dead, minor holder of the name and the new one? Choi's a good one, but either trim it to Choi as the current one, or to Ray and Choi as the holders of the legacy of the current 'shrinking atom', or all for holisticism. but Cray and Choi lacks a reason.ThuranX 22:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: IMO, it's either all of them or just Cray and Choi. Why? Well, the 'all of them' is self explanatory, but beyond that, Pratt and Palmer both have their own pages and their own infoboxes. Neither Cray or Choi do. Why would there be bias against Cray? Because he filled the role for all of about a year (real-time)? That's ridiculious. He was still the Atom. Kusonaga 07:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Cray was the atom for all of a single extended storyline. Pratt, Palmer and Choi are all series-starring holders of the name. I'd like to hear from the editor who sliced up the infobox his reasoning, and why he relocated it to mid-page. ThuranX 14:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't agree with the mid-page relocation either, but I wouldn't necessarily say Cray was the Atom for all of a single extended storyline. He was in three arcs that weren't actually connected to one another. Besides that, it doesn't even matter whether he was there for, say, only one issue. He's a character that took up the name of the Atom and therefore deserves his spot in the infobox. Let's also not forget that Ray Palmer made him the Atom (in-universe though that fact may be), and no, Pratt never held his own series (only if you count All-American Comics).

thread_title:  Infobox? 

message: I know Wikipedia has made it really tough to add copyrighted images, but could someone please change the current image (may, 2008).  Certainly the most famous version of this character should be used.  I'd even accept the yellow clad golden age version, over the current one!  Thanks!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.55.162 (talk) 21:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the 'any Atom but this one' smacks of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. that's not a particularly good reason for a change. If you an find a good, Fair Use image, upload it, link it here, and discuss. ThuranX (talk) 21:28, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Whereas Ryan Choi is notable enough for his own article (starred in his own series, has appeared in other media, etc.) and the length of his section in this article throws of the flow of the article, Ryan Choi should be split to his own article titled Atom (Ryan Choi).--May Cause Dizziness (talk) 17:33, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Ryan Choi had his own article, but it was merged into this one at some point in time. I must concur with the above notion, too, that the death of the character pretty well eradicates any possibility of reviving his own article. --Joe Sewell (talk) 22:21, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
