thread_title: Pronunciation of Van Sciver's surname

message: In addition to his illustration work, Van Sciver has received significant media attention for expressions of his sociopolitical views, a fact which is not reflected in the article currently. It seems to be particularly relevant to his recent transition from a regular DC freelancer, to concentrating exclusively on a previous creator-owned property. (See here if you don't know what I'm talking about.) Because his views are highly polarizing and likely to invite edit-warring, I think it would be useful to first discuss and develop some consensus here about how to present this information in the article, what sources to use, etc. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 01:16, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm puzzled by the change from saying he "has been" a central figure in Comicsgate to "was". This is contradicted by this article, which indicates his involvement is ongoing. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 20:45, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a bit ambiguous whether Sciver references the word or the movement here (which indeed he very well might be aware of). 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 09:52, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Nearly every article about Comicsgate as an ongoing campaign identifies him as a central figure. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 12:18, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

text: How in the world is describing Comicsgate only in terms of its detractors compliant with NPOV? 4.16.26.19 (talk) 22:31, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a valid criticism. I've borrowed the description from the Comicsgate article and added it. Magic9Ball (talk) 23:55, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

text: It's actually wholly unimportant and unrelated to Sciver himself. It has no place in the article at all. Now, if you wanted to include him doing stuff like cutting up effigies of Last Jedi characters...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.183.76.75 (talk) 17:32, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

text: We cite reliable sources to verify what we write. The first source identifies EVS as one of the group's leaders. (I've added another.) A quote from him wouldn't "prove" anything one way or the other; he might falsely claim or deny involvement. Magic9Ball (talk) 21:14, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy 

message: IMDB has some TV credits that have twice been added to this article, incorrectly implying that Van Sciver worked on those series. These were characters that he co-created in comics that were later used for the TV series, and the series credits him for that because that's how credits work. Listing things that are based on his work, but he had no personal involvement in, would be like listing every movie based on a play by Shakespeare (which we do not do). Leave the exhaustive listing of every place his name appears to IMDB; that's their job. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 14:29, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  TV credits 

message: I am a big fan from the moment I found this man's work in 1996. I own a full set of what I assume is the original Cyberfrog, first issue February 1996 published by Harris comics. Ethan created, drew, and wrote the series, which has never failed to impress me on the many times I have revisited it. It should be included in this article, as it is a seminal accomplishment, not just something he has done for a major publisher. Thank you for your work sir.

thread_title:  Original Cyberfrog 1996 

message: I want to know what people think of this source. On one hand, Grandpallama raises its connection to a university, however Arcadia Darell raises points about the lack of knowledge of its editorial oversight, limited posts, and short duration making it seem to be self-published. I want to know what others think. Given this is BLP I lean towards removal, but I am not too committed and could change. Thoughts?  3Kingdoms (talk) 14:04, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
