replies: text: This article is aobut the Marvel version of Loki, which is seperate from the Loki that appeared in Sandman.  Gaiman's Loki is an appearance of his interpretation of the actual god, while the Marvel Loki has been changed by Marvel writers to suit the comic book.  If anything, the Loki of Sandman should be mentioned in an 'appearances in popular media' section of Loki, but not in here.  Primal Zed (talk) 17:19, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

message: At the moment I've left two of the images since they are close to supporting the sections they're in. And even that is a polite stretch of terms. Both should be replaced with something that actually supports the sections or removed as "decorative only". — J Greb 17:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Loki appears in other comics and in general articles about deities in modern fiction should properly disambiguate themselves in the article title. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 08:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. I have reduced the history of the redirect at Loki (Marvel Comics) to a single line, so that if disambiguation is ever needed, this article can be moved there. --Stemonitis 11:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Loki64.PNG 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Loki64.PNG

message: There are numerous sources, and it's even mentioned on this page, that refer to Thor and Loki as "half-brothers", others say he is adopted. Half-brothers have one parent in common. Is Loki adopted or a half-brother? He seems to switch with each story I read. Some saying Odin was his biological father, others saying his father was a frost giant.

thread_title: Half-brother or adopted?

message: The picture in the infobox now is the one of Loki from Loki Vol 1 #1 and it's from an alternate reality. I added the alternate reality as "Loki triumphant" to the "other versions" section because it wasn't there before with the other realities. So since the infobox picture is from that story line, would anyone be opposed to me moving that picture to the "Loki triumphant" section to illistrate what he looked like in that reality and choosing a picture from the mainstream Loki to replace in the infobox? If anyone has a good picture they'd like to nominate, I have a few pics in mind but if anyone is opposed to it, let me know and explain why you'd like to keep it up there. thanks! xx Xpinkxcasualtyx (talk) 16:33, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

message: So I've gotten a revert and I've no desire to edit war, thus it seems good to take the discussion here. What exactly is the benefit to referring to Loki as "strictly" male? Because it seems to imply some sort of style guide or editorial mandate where none exists. People seem rather adamant on including it though.RosicrucianTalk 00:15, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It covers his general exclusivity as a distinctly male character in most media. Saying "he's mostly depicted as male but has also sometimes been depicted as genderfluid" can be interpreted as saying that he's inherently genderfluid but they just choose to focus on the male side of it more, which wouldn't be true. In most stories and live action features that depict Loki, he shows no signs of nor is officially described as being genderfluid at all. Davefelmer (talk) 20:45, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I really feel I should point out that you seem to be the only user pushing for the inclusion of this specific word, and you're claiming it's a "long-standing" part of the article when you yourself added it in October 2020. I don't feel your arguments for including it are very compelling, nor are they particularly based in Wikipedia article policy, but you definitely seem hellbent on having it in there.--RosicrucianTalk 01:30, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Although, strictly speaking, they're a different character from the comics version, there has been quite a bit of coverage over the past few days about how (Loki-199999 is canonically genderfluid (e.g.). With the text of Original Sin being as it is (e.g. "my child who is both"), the idea of Loki as strictly male is definitely undue weight, and to claim otherwise is the bigger act of original research; see also, Varys, where even though the word "asexual" isn't said, the desire speech from season 4 would be good enough for categorisation even without the reliable sources that exist to allow it in the text. On the pronouns issue? There's no need to torture ourselves into bad writing to avoid the use of certain pronouns. It can flow perfectly naturally to switch pronouns commensurate with their presentation in the comics. Sceptre (talk) 17:24, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Loki (character) →  – The current title is ambiguous, as there are many characters named Loki listed at Loki (disambiguation)#Fictional characters, including another comics character, so per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics)#Between characters of different publishers "Marvel Comics" is the appropriate qualifier. New title is consistent with Thor (Marvel Comics) and Odin (Marvel Comics), the latter of which was recently moved for the same reason (see Talk:Odin (Marvel Comics)#Requested move 28 June 2021).
