message: In Green Lantern Corps #7 and #8, a new branch of the Green Lantern Corps called the "Green Lantern Corpse" is introduced, it's an elite black ops branch of the Lanterns. They don't use Power Rings, but instead swallow power disks that give them all of a rings powers for a limited time, exept that instead of green energy, it is purple. Shouldn't the "Green Lantern Corpse" be mentioned in the article? 151.203.160.62 21:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Guardians by Igle.jpg

message: With the recent influx of information on the new universes of the post IC multiverse and Green Lanterns being promanent in a lot of major storylines with series like Countdown Arena and the Sinestro Corps War, I propose we expand to include all we know. Let alone the Sinestro Corps mention added to this article, I propose we expand the article to cover all of the alternate universes Green Lantern Corps and related/similar groups we know to be in continuity. The Star Saphire group being generated right now might then also warrant a mention if the Sinestro Corps has. The mention of other colors in the spectrum such as Red lanterns references as well as Wildstorms blue ones might warrant mention as well. 
Likely a simple blurb in this article for the basic premises for different groups and the universes they exist in would be a start, and the originating stories they came from to start with. Later, add individual pages for expanded information as it comes in along with how they tie in to the primary New Earth GLC. I do agree with Arcayne on editing out my earlier editions of the other universe groups. The structure of everything might require a brand new page, under some heading to be determined here soon first. But, most pages of characters make note of alternate versions from other universes, media or in the case of DC, defunct universes. Let alone frequent mentions of homages. There aren't many verifiable connections between the current organizations to New Earth though beyond the fact they are for all intents and purposes alternate versions of the same organization or variations thereof. Thats why I'm starting this to discuss the future of this section. I was suprised as any when the Earth-3 Green Lantern Corpse was mentioned in the preview Countdown 31 pages released. The fact more crosses, mentions and such are my motivation for adding them in the first place. The fact there is still another major GL storyline coming up AFTER Final Crisis as mentioned in many interviews seems all of this stuff might just tie in in the future. It has been mentioned it is the culmination of a lot of these long running arcs, Rainbow batteries, alternates and so forth. LMWanderer 01:28, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am thinking that - and this is just an idea - that these other groups should be written as stand-alone articles, and linked to this article via either categories (fictional law-enforcement agencies, etc.). The problem I see with tying them in here is that adding the information here means that you have to explain who the group is, and then explain their connection to the GLC, which comes too close to OR by synthesis to not get tagged and/or removed. If there are other articles on these other agencies, with citations noting the inspiration/connection to the GLC, they can be tied in a lot more effectively, wouldn't you think? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 02:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sector 2 

message: Even though the formatting of this particular portion of the Blackest Night section is very nice, I propose that its inclusion in this article is totally unnecessary and that it should be deleted. 
*Firstly, among the four tagged issues at the top of the article is the page resembling a fan site. This is probably an area of the article that led to that tag. In an encyclopedic entry on the Green Lantern Corps, one should probably find information focusing on that Corps. If it's appropriate to describe their relationship to other Corps within the text or mention other Corps in plot descriptions, then that's one thing. It's another to include a lengthy list of bullets that is so detailed as to include an oath... that is not an oath for the Green Lantern Corps. More to the point, one of the bullets is for the Green Lantern Corps themselves. That seems a little bizarre.
*Second, the section on Blackest Night should probably only describe how the event effects the Corps in the DC Universe, depicts them within the plotline, and relates to the real world perception/reception of the Green Lanterns. The section begins with a link to the separate Blackest Night article. That would be the place for a description of the overall event. Interestingly, a list of the different Corps also exists in that article.
*Third, though the section does include links to the main articles for each of the other Corps, all of this information should probably stay in those articles (as it pertains to them, not to the Green Lanterns).
*Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, (as the tag implies) this information can be found in other articles that are more appropriate houses for it. The Blackest Night article has a similar (though more concise) list resembling this one, Power ring (DC Comics) has a more detailed one than this, and Emotional spectrum also lists out the eight Corps in the introductory paragraph for the article. Including the information here is not only not appropriate for the article's topic in terms of an encyclopedia, but redundant in terms of its appearance on Wikipedia in general.
In that same vein, Hybrid Lanterns should probably also go. It's information that only pertains to Hal Jordan. Since he's the only Lantern to belong to two Corps at once, it should go to his main article. What information isn't about him is about Larfleeze... who isn't a Green Lantern at all. One might argue the resurrection of deceased Green Lanterns in the Blackest Night event as Black Lanterns, however those issues are not released yet and they may not be hybrid lanterns when they are. They may very well just be Black Lanterns.  Hooliganb (talk) 02:32, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

message: From the article: "In an attempt to redeem himself after his actions as Parallax, Hal Jordan sacrificed his life reigniting the sun, whereupon Oa and the Central Power Battery were completely rebuilt by the physical manifestation of Jordan’s dying will channeled through his old friend and confidant Thomas Kalmaku. [...] Hal Jordan, upon learning the truth about Parallax, separated himself from it and was reborn as a Green Lantern once again."

thread_title:  Death, then alive? 

message: Is the article supposed to be focused on the fictional history of the Green Lantern Corps, as a comic entity, or on the three volumes of the Green Lantern Corps book (one of which as a retitle of the second Green Lantern title)? This article features a  Bibliography section which lists pretty much every limited and ongoing series related to the GLC that isn't simply titled Green Latern, even though that book is highly relevant to the GLC mythos. I'd suspect an article with based around a book would feature a "Publication history" section.
Just want to start up a discussion. It seems as if the article is a mix of many topics which could potentially be split off into various articles. || Tako (talk) 15:18, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a common problem I've seen with some comic book articles. I think a good handling is with Batman which is about the character and Batman (comic book) which is about the series. In this case, a content split would be in order to have Green Lantern Corps relate to the team and Green Lantern Corps (comic book) could be devoted to the comic book series titled Green Lantern Crops. --Odie5533 (talk) 01:29, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
