Talk:Atom (Ray Palmer)

message: Apparently with Dwarfstar, Rip Hunter and Ryan Choi's use of the Shrinking Belt the restriction that permitted only Ray Palmer to use the shrinking equipment without losing cohesion and die seems to be lifted. Musn't we puntualize it somewhere in the article? DrTofu83 13:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Something someone may want to add to the article -- The season 4 episode 21 of Dharma and Greg was broadcast yesterday on WeTV, titled "Pride and Prejudice."  It featured a college pal of Greg's named Ray Palmer.  Yes, it may be a fairly common name, but in this episode Ray is a little person.  I doubt this character sharing the name of a superhero who shrinks is coincidence, considering all the references on "Big Bang Theory" and both shows were created by Chuck Lorre.  96.253.122.221 (talk) 09:57, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The section on his appearances in Arrow is way too large and detailed.. adding undue weight to the article.. Should be seriously trimmed and doesnt need its own section.Spanneraol (talk) 04:02, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: In actuality, if you check the views for this article most, recently, have been viewing the Arrow sub-section. Hence its own heading. The sections text is concise and informative. It appears bias/opinion may be at play her, in which Wikipedia does not indulge. If you are concerned about unneeded "weight" to the article, there is an abundance of it in the Character Biography section. Cheers, LLArrow (talk) 07:43, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You are a victim of recentism, we dont go by page views in areas like this. I think your bias is at play here. All similar articles use the live action/animation subheadings. No reason at all to make this one different. People looking for information on Arrow should look at that page, not this one. The article is about the comic character not the tv show character. Spanneraol (talk) 13:02, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

text: After further thought, I'm inclined to agree with you. It is a violation of recentism. However the section remains concise and informative, therefore the content should remain as is. Cheers, LLArrow (talk) 23:15, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Arrow 

message: A partner/accomplice in Ray Palmer's early adventures, or more of a supporting character? I've looked up info on the old comics lately and I feel it's more heavily geared towards the latter. The role she played was not similar to what Steve Trevor or Mera or Larry/Kurt Lance or even Sue Dibny meant to their romantic counterparts (as in they do/did most things together side by side), it's more akin to a Mary Jane Parker or a Pepper Potts or an Iris West. In other words, I find her to be lacking agency in relation to the primary protagonist and more of a passive supporting character in the strictest sense. Additionally, Jean hasn't really been at Palmer's side after the 1960's and even before his first ongoing series ended its run, and probably better known for her fairly complicated recent history as a deranged villain.

thread_title:  Jean Loring 

message: I've switched a term from fiancée back to fiancé, as per typical French usage of both terms. A fiancé is a man who is engaged to be married. A fiancée is a woman who is engaged to be married. Since we are talking about a male who's betrothed was killed, the masculine form of the word is the correct one to use. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 17:22, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I undid your edit. An engaged woman is a fiancée, so Ray Palmer was a 'fiancé', and had a 'fiancée'. AJeiEM (talk) 02:54, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

message: Looking at these in a kids perspective 
First of all let's define atom .
Atom is the smallest piece ever live in the planet .So atom is one of the smallest scientific approved.
Ant,what is ant?
Ant is an insect also known as the most hardworking animal in the world.That why they say as hardworking as an ant.
But back to the topic,the reason they choose ant as a small thing is because comparing an ant to a man is a lot of gap so that why they choose ant man as a small hero.
In conclusion,according to me ...
Atom is the smallest super fictional hero ever. Babatunde Feranmi (talk) 22:05, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
