Talk:Thrud the Barbarian

message: Nothing in particular to add to this, except to note how strange it is to be cited as a source for something on Wikipedia... RobC (talk) 14:16, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Being cited as a source

message: I don't really understand the "Legacy" section. I've checked out the references given but they cast no extra light on the matter. (Emperor 19:24, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The references are reviews of the comics in question which comment on Critchlow's developing artistic style which, as mentioned previously in the article, he first experimented with in Thrud. See the review of Out of the Undercity in particular since that was his first post-Thrud story. There is more to come to explain this, but I can't devote the time this week. Feel free to add something yourself now you know the intention. GDallimore (Talk) 09:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

The only problem I see in this article is that the lead could be expanded, but that's not really a big issue. This article looks ready for FAC, you people did a nice job! Anyway, it passes all Good Article criteria.<FONT FACE="Dom Casual" SIZE="-1" COLOR="red">Mitch32contribs</FONT> 21:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Good article review 

message: copied from FAC so it doesn't get lost as it took me forever to go back over the sources.
Concerning sources. Many of them are non-mainstream and minor, but that is because they are part of a network of British small, independent press titles. Nevertheless, care has been taken to select only the best sources or to select sources which clearly accurately verify the information in the article. Taking them source by source
TRS2 - online version of a long running small publication review magazine (TRS, The Review Sheet) and part of the bugpowder network, formerly a comics distributor (see British_small_press_comics#The_1990s). Although in blog format, it has a long term editor in the form of Jez Higgins who commissions reviews. Indeed, the particularly review being linked was written by Jez Higgins. This editorial oversight makes it a reliable source particularly in the context that the source is being used for personal opinions about the Thrud comics.
Bulletproof Comics - website has had a significant overhaul, but at the time was a comic book resource under the auspices of editor Matt Yeo who commissioned reviews. This editorial oversight makes it a reliable source particularly in the context that the source is being used for personal opinions about the Thrud comics.
The Ninth Art - website has had a significant overhaul, but at the time was a comic art resource with regular contributors and editorial oversight. This editorial oversight makes it a reliable source particularly in the context that the source is being used for personal opinions about the Thrud comics.
2000AD Review - website is now shut down but for many years posted reviews of every 2000AD issue commissioned by editor Gavin Hanly. Although independent of 2000AD is appears it was supported by Rebellion Developments, the publishers of 2000AD. This official support combined with the editorial oversight makes it a reliable source particularly in the context that the source is being used for personal opinions about the Thrud comics.
3dtotal - the source is an interview with Carl Critchlow and is being used to confirm facts about Carl Critchlow's inspiration, so must be a reliable source in that context. 
 
Grand Comics Database - this site was only being used to provide online confirmation of the contents of published issues of White Dwarf. The references have been rephrased to make White Dwarf the source with the GCD being merely a url as part of the reference.
GameHobby.net - site was being used to provide online confirmation of the contents of published issues of Warrior. The references have been rephrased to make Warrior the source with the site being merely a url as part of the reference.
Forbidden Planet - These were being used merely to provide images of the front cover of the Thrud comics. The references have been rephrased to make the comics the source and to link to FP only as an online image.
  
Strike to Stun - another defunct website, but at the time provided reviews written by regular commentators under the auspices of editor Natascha Chrobok. This editorial oversight makes it a reliable source particularly in the context that the source is being used for personal opinions about the Thrud comics.
 
Collecting Citadel Miniatures wiki - the link is to a collection of photos of Thrud miniatures, and is therefore easily confirmed as providing reliable information. In particular, the wiki is only being used to provide a date of production of an early thrud miniature and the source gives its source for that piece of information: it is written on the bottom of the miniature itself. 
Heresy Miniatures - the source is being used for information about their own production line and must be a reliable source in that context.
