Template talk:Iron Man

message: As with the villains, using the show is not a good argument for putting a team like Force Works and the characters that made it up into the box. Yes, the show was divorced from the Avengers material, but the majority of the Force Works article is about the comic book material. That is a continuation of the West Coast Avengers making it more an Avengers topic than an Iron Man one.
And the inclusion of the Avenger movies has a similar problem, they are not Iron Man topics, they are Avengers topics. Including them in this 'box is out of place as including the article on the Avengers itself.

thread_title: Teams

message: Important storylines are just that, story lines, arcs, not anthology series and in most cases, not ongoing titles. And definitely not story arcs that focus on another character or the Marvel Universe as a whole.
Are Iron Man and Sub-Mariner and Tales of Suspense important to Iron Man? Yes. Are the Iron Man topics? No. It doesn't matter if it's where the character first appeared or where the strip resided for a period.

thread_title: Important storylines

message: Again, the topic of most of the articles listed in the 'box right now is either the Avengers or the Marvel Universe with Iron Man being one character among many, at best. These do have a place in the "Iron Man in other media" article, but that's where it links in, not adding the articles directly to the 'box.

thread_title: Video games

message: I've weeded out a lot of minor information from the box, but there's probably still more that needs to be done.  The villains list is far too long, and can we not standardise the colours at all?  Personally, most of this should already be mentioned in the article or found in :Category:Iron Man.  Is this template in anyway needed? Hiding T  10:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Now that I think about it Howard Jr., Maria, and Yinsen should be supporting characters since they're the father, mother, and major life influence respectively of the main character as well as Gregory and Howard Sr. (the mainstream version at least) have a neutralish vibe about them. Also does Howard Sr. really resemble Titanium Man?

thread_title:  New villians. 

message: We need to quit adding so many villains here that aren't recurring adversaries or if they are debatable if they are notable. Not to mention that quite a few aren't officially "Iron Man villains". Even though villains like Fixer, Killer Shrike and Coldblood appeared in Iron Man related media that did not make them officially so in comic books. They need to at least appear mostly in Iron Man related comic books. There is two villains I still ain't too sure and that Justine and Shasha Hammer (more so on Shasha). The connection is that they are related to Justin Hammer. That's probably the most notable thing about them. Jhenderson 777 19:53, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't beat yourself in the head for it. I can see how easily one can think he is a Iron Man villain because he appeared in Iron Man 3. I removed a lot of these villains because they don't appear to be recurring adversaries or major villains. Also no proof of notability. (The main reason why Detroit Steel is there because the article does that better than all the rest of the characters) One that I can say is major that you have in the list is maybe Mauler (Mallen) due to being a main antagonist in a issue. My issue of him of a character ( being a main antagonist of a issue and is not that recurring character outside of that) is that I think notability needs to be proven for him. We got a lot of major characters from that comic book who are in section rather than in article. Also Sunset Bain is a maybe. I just need reliable source that she really is Iron Man centric. Because it seems that she appeared in only a little bit of Iron Man comic books. Technivore seems a little minor in the comics. In other media adaptions he seems to be more of a big deal but in the comic books he appears to be dead right now and was not really that recurring. I have sort of the same issue with Sunturion but not quite that much. I feel that you should ask others not just me to establish a vote or consensus. My (maybe) ok ones are Mauler, Sunset Bain, Mallen, Technivore and Sunturion if my issues of them can be disproven. Jhenderson 777 23:22, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I also feel strongly about Dmitri Bukharin having a article on his own. Sure he has been the most recurring Crimson Dynamo but does that mean that that's a notable alter-ego for a notable Iron Man villain. I don't think that's established at all. Jhenderson 777 23:28, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

text: I striked what I said when I found out that he went by more than just Crimson Dynamo. I guess he will do. Jhenderson 777 23:30, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

text: You haven't mentioned these but the Raiders and Wong-Chu I maybe can allow. I just have very similar issues with them as well. Jhenderson 777 23:37, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: On the subject, I think we should merge Cord with minor characters. I did some work on the article but that's all I can do for it. If I woke up tomorrow and say him merged, I wouldn't be surprised. so i'm adding Mauler, Bain, Wong Chu, Raiders, Sunturion, Technovore (only cause he's famous in other media and now he's out there for the public in the 2013 Anime movie). Chemistro is another one, I'm iffy since I don't remember him being a central foe, Midas is a smaller villain who did have his issues and who else I'm I gonna put him in the template? Spider-Man? lol (JoeLoeb (talk) 14:27, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You said you were going to add the five characters (who I am unsure of) but then you add almost all those other characters on there too. To put it simply if they don't have media adaptions or alternative versions of themselves. They haven't established themselves major villains. Jhenderson 777 14:39, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

text: Also Chemistro is mostly a Luke Cage villain. If you want him to belong in a navbox. Creating a Luke Cage navbox is the best idea. Jhenderson 777 14:48, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

text: Here's the deal, dude. I can tell you want some more inclusions on these characters but we have list for all those other characters you are talking about which is linked in the navbox. The navbox is not (and should not) be the official place for where all his villains should be at. We should totally only stick to the big leagues. If you can establish some of these villains are that. Then they can be in. Also you can request other people opinions. I am not the official voice of Wikipedia. ;) Jhenderson 777 15:18, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I got to know my place in this site, i'm still very new, I make changes and i'm neglectful that we have a system, so may bad, man. I still would like to add Sunturion, The Mauler or Raiders..but that's just me. I'm OCD-ish at time when I get connected to these Navi-boxes or templates of heroes. :) (JoeLoeb (talk) 02:36, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

message: Folks, we need to continue to realize Wikipedia as a site for general-interest and non-expert readers, not a collection of siloed fan sites. I’m talking about something simple here that shouldn’t be at all controversial, as it is part of site-wide improvement.
There is a section in this template for characters. Nothing but characters are listed in the tree beneath it. It should be titled “Characters”. It is instead titled using one non-descriptive word, the opaque fan/corporate marketing term “Universe”. This term, sans explanation, is deprecated across Wikipedia comic book articles because of its opacity and ambiguity, and you will notice that many articles have been improved so that “appears in such-and-such universe” in the top paragraph instead reads “comic books published by (PUBLISHER NAME)”. This tells a non-expert reader what they need to know without needing to delve into the publishing and marketing history of an entire industry. 
As comic book fans, we need to take the same responsibility as any other curators of topics of our personal interest on Wikipedia: its readers may want to know about the topic without sharing our level of prior knowledge. Could we please continue the commendable efforts to de-mystify these articles and templates here, and, sensibly, call the part of the template listing/linking characters, well, “Characters”?
