Talk:Blue Beetle

message: Please, all: Wiki standards and just basic encyclopedic standards require citations for quotes. Things have to have attributions both for our own benefits as users and the Wikipedia's benefit for its credbility.
I have comment-out (but not deleted) instances in this article of unattributed quotes, an uninformative public-relations "teaser" quote (as they're called in the PR industry), and a contributor's educated guesses -- e.g., speculation of future events. As it says somewhere in the Wiki standards (or maybe by one of the administrators), Wiki's not a crystal ball.
This is a great article overall, very authoritative and factual, with usefull footnotes and lot of References. -- Tenebrae 16:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: RE: Citations and speculation

message: I think we should split this page.  We should almost definitely break Jaime Reyes into a new article, since more information will keep coming about him and his section will grow a lot, but also because certain categories (Hispanic superheroes, for example) only apply to him.  The same goes for Ted Kord (the page is redirect right now); he should be in the Extreme Justice category but Dan and Jaime shouldn't.  Does anyone agree or disagree? --Rocketgoat 08:50, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that makes sense. Dan Garrett's unlikely to have much more written about him, Ted had the longest and most significant career among the Beetles(;D) so far, and Jaime's is ongoing for the foreseeable future. Are we then making a disambig page for the three characters? I don't think the legacy of Blue Beetle needs an entire page itself like Green Lantern. Cybertooth85 16:09, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was about to suggest we have the following articles, Blue Beetle, Ted Kord, Jaime Reyes. Keep all the info about Dan Garrett in the Blue Beetle. It sounds a lot like Green Lantern, but it works. --waffle iron 17:24, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: i agree.  Ted definately deserves his own page and jaime looks like he will eventually.Exvicious 22:04, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Extreme Justice?  Shouldn't Ted be under something that wasn't terrible (It is exactly as much mid-90s suck as the title "Extreme Justice" promises and barely anyone remembers it) that he was actually famous for?  Giffen/DeMatteis/Maguire Justice League or FKATJL?  Splitting the article into seperate articles for Dan, Ted, and Jaime would be good though.  Lots of new stuff cropping up for Jaime and Ted's article can be fleshed out some more. the pineapple 04:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

text: I support the split as well.  Keep Dan on this page and split off for Ted and Jaime. -- Ipstenu 20:44, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Don't be surprised if there's a lot of new information about Dan Garrett and his relationship to the scarab in the near future. CovenantD 19:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page split proposal 

message: This section seems to be in the wrong article, since it deals with how Jaime and the scarab interact. Anybody feel like moving it to his article? CovenantD 14:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: JLU

message: I'd like to have the character split off into his own article, in keeping with other multi-character code names (Robin, Green Lantern, Flash, etc.), and leaving this to focus on the publication history of the various characters. This would have the side effect of moving the SHB, leaving the series box (which is really more appropriate anyway) and reducing the clutter at the top of the article. CovenantD 06:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I originally proposed the split to be like the Green Lantern article, but leaving the Dan Garret stuff here is obviously inconsistent. --waffle iron talk 19:43, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I also agree. It feels like there is enough info to support a separation. — J Greb 23:36, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Further confusing things is Garrett or Garret. The one with two t's was the archaeologist and then one with one t was the cop. Do we then need Blue Beetle (Dan Garrett) and Blue Beetle (Dan Garret)? I am sure we need the former (2ts) but not sure about the later. --waffle iron talk 04:10, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd be tempted to use 1 "t" for the main article as it was originally used, and returned to at Charlton. Beyond that, the 2 "t" should be a redirect. But that's personal preference, either route will do the job. In either case, the note presently in the article definitely needs to be included. — J Greb 04:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oy, I hadn't even thought about the spelling conundrum - I just took the spelling from the SHB for this section header. I'll take the easy way out and leave it for others to debate which way the new article should go :) CovenantD 05:00, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In the section Dan Garrett/Charlton Comics, there appears to be an image of a music album where there should be a comic book cover. Can anyone here correct this?

thread_title: WikiProject Comics B-Class Assesment required

message: I've always thought there were intentional simularities between the Dan Garrett Blue Beetle and Marvel Comics' own Scarlet Scarab, created for their Invaders WWII-era superhero team. I'd like to add this, but don't have a source for verification.  Does anyone know more about this?Rickremember (talk) 04:18, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems the kind of thing Roy Thomas would do, especially given that the scarab's creator was called Garret.Nickpheas (talk) 22:41, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Virtually certain it was intentional. I will try to locate my Blue Beetle Companion this week, it would probably be mentioned in it. Khajidha (talk) 16:54, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
