Talk:World War Hulk

message: With the crossover drawing near, I'm wondering if there are any lessons learned from Civil War (comics) and Annihilation (comics) that might make this article easier to structure/maintain. Suggestions? --Mrph 09:04, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: well, first is the formatting, it should be cleared as to what the formatting of this article will be. since this will be a major crossover, i say it has no diffenrence to the civil war in the sense that it also has an overview, publication, delays (if there will be any), synopsis, tie-ins, external links. but lets be careful not to over do it as to the previous civil war article †Bloodpack† 19:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I reckon we put Publication History in early, as WP:CMC consensus is that's one of the sections with the most 'Real World' relevance - and we can add any delays into that? I'd definitely agree about the risk of documenting every minor plot twist and every character involved...--Mrph 19:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Here we go...

message: World War Hulk is a comic book crossover event, published by Marvel Comics and scheduled to begin in May 2007.[1] It was announced by Joe Quesada in 2006 that the Hulk will be the focus of the event.[2]
I think it's safe to assume that the Hulk will be the focus of a story named after him, is it not? Kelvingreen 16:27, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the current wording's clunky, but how much prior knowledge should Wikipedia assume? Adding "centered around the Hulk" just before the first comma might work as an alternative, allowing us to dump the Quesada blurb...? --Mrph 18:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

text: An improvement might be something along the lines of 'centered around the Hulk's return to Earth to carry out a vendetta against those who cast him off and took everything from him.'  I can't think straight right now, but I'm sure some knowledgeable editor can get the gist of what I'm saying.  Also, I believe the page should be update to reflect current information (some of the info's outdated, like WWHulk prologue release date, and past tense that should now be present) 66.81.152.47 05:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redundant? 

message: To those inserting an inaccurate May 2007 date for World War Hulk: Prologue: The postal indicia date, which is what hundreds and hundreds of comic books referenced on Wikipedia uses, is July 2007 for this comic. May is the on-sale date. Those are two different things. Thank you. --Tenebrae 03:40, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Marvel has released their official checklist on the Marvel site. Should the tie ins be adjusted? Or do you guys want to add the link at the bottom? If no one has a problem with it, I'll adjust the tie ins with a footnote in about a week or so. --DavePretty 13:58, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  World War Hulk Checklist 

message: Per WikiProject Comics guidelines. This is in place since information occasionally changes between a solicitation and the actual published comics. And solicitation dates are notoriously changeable. The footnotes in the intro graf are from solicitations, and need to be re-sourced for this reason. --Tenebrae 13:52, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Editor identification 

message: Forgive me if I'm just impatient or clueless, but what will happen with the tie-ins?  Particularly things like WWH: Frontline and the miniseries like WWH: X-Men.  Will they be given their own pages?  I know the similar Civil War miniseries were.  Will the events be recapped here as well, or only on those pages if it happens?  Also, what about the issues of other comics that deal with it?  Like Ghost Rider or Avengers: The Initiative?  I'm sure they'll be covered in their respective articles, but would they go here as well?  I ask because I've been checking on some of the individual X-Men profiles and a few of them (like Hellion and X-23) mention them fighting the Hulk, but apparently those events haven't been recapped here, nor has a WWH: X-Men article been created.
Again, sorry if maybe I'm just impatient or if this is something everyone else knows.  I'm just curious.DNMN 06:12, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In my own humble opinion, this article mainly focuses on the 5-part series of the WWH, which means all events that will happen within the 5-part main arc series goes here (synopsis). Any related events happening in the lives of XMEN, Avengers, etc. and their participation in WWH goes on their respective articles, but this mainly focuses on the 5-part series. †Bloodpack† 23:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's cool.  I just wanted to clear it up for sure.  Thanks.DNMN 02:24, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tie-ins 

message: Just to be clear and as described in the initial sentence/paragraph of this article, WWH is all about the 5-part series, anything within the scope of events happening inside the 5-part book series, which means outside of that, including the events happening in the supporting tie-ins of this event (i.e. xmen, ghostrider, etc.) goes to their respective articles (characters) . Again, events happening within the 5-part book should be the focus of the synopsis. WWH frontline can be created as a new article. As for the other heroes' participation in this event, like ghostrider or xmen, etc. goes to their respective books/articles †Bloodpack† 21:17, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, there is NO valid purpose for forcing wiki readers to look up the story of WWH in multiple articles. It should (as is) consolidated here. --Kontar 04:57, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: and the valid purpose would be? †Bloodpack† 05:23, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  synopsis 

message: :Image:Hulk and The Heroes.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

replies: text: I'm confused.  You would include a cast list for a film or TV programme, so why not here?  How is this any different?  It's not the same thing at all as a "list of stats", and as long as it sticks to characters truly involved in the main series and doesn't attempt to list every Marvel character that appears in an "unspeaking cameo", it's a useful addition of data. 71.204.204.249 12:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Addition of the said section is unecessary as the characters involved can easily be incorporated within the synopsis itself. Pls refer to the WP:COMIC for more info as it is different from the movie or tv programme wiki projects. Thank you †Bloodpack† 15:18, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with User:Bloodpack. This is an across-the-line crossover. We'd simply be listing every major and several minor character in the Marvel Universe. --Tenebrae 04:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Well personally, i feel the hulk doesnt need any weapons, because hes already the weapon. Secondly, talk pages are meant to dicuss how to improve the article itself and not to discuss the subject of the article. Thank you †Bloodpack† 14:40, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  I have a question 

message: I have added a publication section following the format seen on the Civil War page though it may need to be updated and/or corrected.  
There should be a World War Hulk : Front Line page or someone needs to create a Front Line (comics) page and merge the Civil War: Front Line page into it and include sections on both Civil War and World War Hulk. --Savre 04:17, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: World War Hulk was in Ghost Rider #12-13 and seemed to take place sometime after the Hulk first arrives and probably lasted about an hour in Marvel time. --203.100.211.163 23:50, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I'll do it. Can definitely be done. Either with links to pages that have sections on the the WWH event or a section with synopsis for each tie in. --Savre 22:37, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: But there should still be a ti-in section. Someone removed the tie-in section. Why? Who knows? People looking for the WWH ant man issues are gonna come here first rather than the Ant-man page (arguably) and also those will full out the page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Savre (talk • contribs) 01:47, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  infobox image 

message: This section seems inaccurate and dated.  These books have since come out and the information listed in the section is misleading and/or can be updated.  Examples being "Skaar abandoning his planet" when he was infact exiled from the planet but had full intent to stay on the planet.  Updated sections include the "Reed Richards will not be thrilled with his return." followed by a comment about a confrontation with his father.
