Talk:Atlas Comics (1950s)

message: :Image:Atlas interior logo.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: I've ported this over from Talk:Amazing Adventures since it directly impacts this article:
:Patsy Walker #95 (cover date: June, 1961) also had a small "MC" logo on its cover. I'm assuming it was published prior to Amazing Adventures #3 (cover date: August, 1961). --Mattkilleen (talk) 13:36, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right: That and Journey into Mystery #69, both cover-dated June 1961. There's a list of comics with the MC box at Marvel : MC (Brand) at the Grand Comics Database. I'll adjust. --Tenebrae (talk) 02:19, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: First comic labeled "Marvel Comics"

message: It would be helpful if the editor placing the tag were to cite specific instances of his claims. The article has 14 footnotes — more, when counting multiple cites of the same footnote — direct quotes from eyewitness; a straight, factual list of titles (still in progression); and a small number of appropriate images. Any article can be improved, of course, so specifics would be appreciated. --Tenebrae (talk) 00:15, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Multiple issue tags

message: An anon IP, who under 86.143.47.252 has been on Wikipedia only since 26 February 2015, has made wholesale changes throughout the article to introduce a citation style that is at odds with common practice throughout WikiProject Comics. I'm quite certain that other editors discussing it would question certain aspects, such as using an abbreviation for Grand Comics Database, thereby making it vaguer for non-comics-fan readers. Here is one example:
*
replacing
*Young Men #25 (Feb. 1954) at the Grand Comics Database. Retrieved 2010-12-26. 
I believe we also have a Grand Comics Database template that produces the latter result.
Either way, we don't make wholesale formatting changes to the Project without discussion first. None of us can unilaterally decide they're going to change common practice, particularly when the new style is questionable.--Tenebrae (talk) 01:22, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, now that I've looked at the, the Project's MOS specifies the latter at WP:CMOS#ISH. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:27, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Citation style

message: An anon IP has added an "original research" tag without specifying any purported issues here on the talk page. The article has 30 footnotes plus External links and further reading; a very large portion of it is cited title / issue numbers /dates information. I would ask the editor who placed the tag to discuss specifics so that other editors may address them. If this is not done, then the validity of the tag is in question and it may have been placed erroneously. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:42, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Another registered editor has replaced it with a "ref improve" tag, which seems more reasonable, though specifics are always welcome. --Tenebrae (talk) 03:03, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Original-research tag

message: The anon IPs 109.149.171.121 and‎ 86.143.47.252 are making highly similar edits, including WP:CMOS#ISH vio. My gut tells me it's a sockpuppet situation. I advise other editors to be on the lookout. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:34, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: 86.173.238.156 and 86.173.237.249 have been edit-warring to add non-standard formatting so that some GCD citations are given one way and some are given another in the same article. Additionally, the status quo format is the standard in WikiProject Comics and there was no consensus on any change to this. They are flouting WP:BRD, edit-warring and sock-puppeting. I asked for page protection, and remarkably, despite the clear edit warring, that protection is not forthcoming. I ask other editors to keep an eye on this article.--Tenebrae (talk) 00:57, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Almost immediately after the article, which had been protected from him, was no longer protected, this sock-puppeting anon IP edit-warrior has returned, this time as 86.181.73.25. His non-standard formatting has been reverted, and if he continues to edit-war, the admin who protected this before will be asked to intervene. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:46, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: He has indeed continued to edit-war, and at this point appears to be reverting simply out of spite. I've asked the admin who protected the page before if he might do so again. --Tenebrae (talk) 00:56, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

message: The block quotes in the "Pre-superhero Marvel" subsection consist of a statement by Jack Kirby followed by two different quotations casting doubt on that statement.  Since these statements cancel each other out, I suggest they all be removed. Historydude58 (talk) 10:19, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
