Talk:Electro (Marvel Comics)

message: I removed the following from the article because I don't think RPG stats belong in Wikipedia.  Since large numbers of these "vital stats" sections have been added to various articles, I'm using Talk:Strength level (comics) to discuss this issue in general. Bryan 08:15, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

message: The IP User:199.79.168.160, who removed the section on previous Electros, has been repeatedly cited for vandalism, and is apparently currently blocked. I've restored the section. — Tenebrae 21:36, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Technically, Electro's magnetic powers should be just as good as his eletrical powers, since current flow and charge are related to magnetic force (through movement). Jackpot Den 00:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True, but for Dillon to realize that, he'd have to be cleverer than he's often shown.  Plus, Mangeto's already got the magnetism schtick. Dr Archeville 20:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

message: In the interest of cooperation, I've refrained from bringing up that, in existing print-encyclopedia format, the chronologically first Electros would be up top, the first section after the introduction. Chronological outline is one of the basic tenets of encyclopedic writing, which is different from popular-press magazine writing. I've avoided reversions/mediation on this issue, so I ask that if we're going to do this as a popularity contest rather than an encyclopedia, let's at least retain the link I've returned to the lead. A bit of give and take here, please. - Tenebrae 10:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

message: It's per Wikipedia style guidelines. This from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29#Avoid_overlinking_dates
:Avoid overlinking dates
:If the date does not contain a day and a month, date preferences will not work, and square brackets will not respond to your readers' auto-formatting preferences. So unless there is a special relevance of the date link, there is no need to link it. This is an important point: simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there is a strong reason for doing so. Make only links relevant to the context for the reasons that it's usually undesirable to insert low-value chronological links.
:Usage of links for date preferences
:* year only. So 1974 → 1974. Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic.
:* month only. So April → April. Generally, do not link
:* century. So 20th century → 20th century. Generally, do not link
:* decade. So 1970s → 1970s. Generally, do not link (including an apostrophe (1970's) is incorrect
:* year and month. So April 1974 → April 1974 Generally, do not link
:* new year and month. So April 2000 → April 2000 Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic. Presently, articles only exist for combinations from the year 2000 to current
:* day of the week (with or without other date elements). So Tuesday → Tuesday. Generally, do not link.''

thread_title: Reason for deleting wikidate overlinkage

message: The Marvel Electro images -- though not the Atlas Electro image -- was removed by the vandal User:4.244.48.62 on 15 March 2006 at 22:39 & 22:40. Since it's been indicated in the comics that the Marvel Electro is bisexual, this appears to be homophobic vandalism. -- Tenebrae 01:50, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: More vandalism

message: According to the page History User talk:Rtkat3 on 13:51, 11 April 2006 changed "A Counter-Earth version of Electro appeared in the Spider-Man Unlimited animated series" to "A gecko who is Counter-Earth's version of Electro appeared in the Spider-Man Unlimited animated series."
I'm afraid I haven't seen that animated series, and since anything's possible, is this vandalism as I suspect, or did the screenwriters get wiggy and have a gecko character? -- Tenebrae 15:27, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Gecko?

message: It was just removed from the article that an arc suggested he is bisexual.  He's listed in the LGBT comic book characters category.  Anyone want to comment on this so if it is either returned or removed after being returned, this discussion can be referred to to prevent revert wars?  Sorry if this reads poorly, not in a coherent mood right now. --Newt ΨΦ 02:25, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bisexuality 

message: He's a very minor character. I'm not sure that big, clunky superherobox is necessary -- the cover by itself, to depict him in context is probably enough. Thoughts? --Tenebrae 23:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Can someone clarify the connection between the first Electro listed on this page and the similar Golden Age Marvel robot named Elektro?  Their similarities, including the former's apparent name change to "Elektro," are somewhat confusing.  Maybe the article on Elektro should be combined with this one?

message: The LGBT and bisexual categories have been removed from the page again, so I checked the above discussion. On the one hand, there doesn't seem to be any consensus to remove the information on this talk page. However, its also currently unsourced, and not referred to in the article at all. I don't have the books where it's referenced, I believe it was a Marvel Knights books and an Avengers, could someone punch up a couple of sentences on this and get it sourced? That should take care of the matter. Dayewalker (talk) 19:20, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bisexuality Redux 

message: This article cites February 1964 as being Electro's debut date. However, on the Sinister Six page, it's indicated that this group debuted in January 1964 and that Electro was a founding member. So was January really his first appearance? Do we need to change the date on this page? Here's a link to what I'm talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinister_Six -- Tom H12 (talk) 03:00, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
