message: In searching for a citation for this quote, the only place I could find it was in a personal e-mail from Steve Gerber to me, which I don't believe is citable based on Wikipedia's rules unless someone publishes his collected letters and it's in there. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 17:49, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: ABC Standards and Practices

message: This might be off-topic for here, but posed this question on my Man-Thing and Howard the Duck Yahoo! groups and got only a partial answer.
In Fear #19, Jim Hunter of Durham, NC asks if Gerber is familiar with any of the following:
*Bulkington [character in Moby Dick]
*Cheregorodstev [no Google hits other than to this question]
*Hari Seldon [Asimov character]
*Milton Pinski [someone mentioned in Nabokov's Lolita]
*S.K. Lus [no Google hits that make sense other than this question]
*Paul Morel [main character in Lawrence's Sons and Lovers]
The response is that Gerber knows of Hari Seldon, the psychohistorian from Asimov's Foundation trilogy.  A No-Prize is offered for anyone who can identify the others.  Wikipedia doesn't know who any of them are, and I don't seem to be finding them on Google, either.  These guys must be too arcane to have made it onto the Internet so far, or else they are copyrighted fictional characters that have not been written about in essays.  --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 15:59, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Steve Gerber's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Lambiek":
From Johnny Hart: 
From Alan Kupperberg: 
From Russ Manning: Manning biography at Lambiek.net's Comiclopedia. Accessed November 8, 2008.

From Kevin Nowlan: 
From Marv Wolfman:

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:29, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Steve Gerber]] 

message: The article reads "Marvel attempted a spin-off with a short-lived Howard the Duck syndicated comic strip from 1977 to 1978, initially scripted by Gerber and drawn by Colan, Mayerik and Alan Kupperberg.[17] Later, writing duties were taken over by another experienced comic book writer, Marv Wolfman.[18]" with something wrong with the first reference. The second reference - https://www.lambiek.net/artists/k/kupperberg_a.htm - has "In 1978 he took over the 'Howard the Duck' weekly comic with Marv Wolfman. A year later he took over the newspaper comic 'The Incredible Hulk', based on the popular TV series (1978-1982) with whom it ran parallel." I suppose the reference to "weekly comic" actually means daily newspaper strip, but it would be good if we could have a better source. Lambiek is not even clear if Kupperberg wrote or drew the strip. -- Beardo (talk) 04:33, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I found these detailed articles - http://www.kleefeldoncomics.com/2016/03/on-strips-howard-duck.html, http://strippersguide.blogspot.com/2010/01/obscurity-of-day-howard-duck.html and http://www.nemsworld.com/howard/. I am not sure if any of them are sources that wikipedia would want to use. -- Beardo (talk) 17:10, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
