message: Okay, the page is protected until this low level edit war over the publication history section is sorted out, following the dispute resolution process. Generate discussion and build a consensus.  One point I want to address above: The guidance at Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/exemplars does not specifically apply only to characters who have only had their own series.  Now, I suggest a consensus is built as to whether the section is to remain in the article or not.  When one is demonstrated around either position I will unprotect the page.

replies: text: I'm getting postings from User:Asgardian on my Talk page, where rather than address issues he prefers to attack me, calling me "melodramatic" and other things, while simultaneously using terms like "you know who" and "C*******D" to refer to fellow editor User:CovenantD. To see such behavior at this stage is troubling, and I want to let the rest of us know what we're dealing with. --Tenebrae 04:50, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Asgardian, stop calling me names. I have not called you any of the dozen things that I could have. The fact that you are stooping so low as to hurl personal invective says in and of itself that your argument cannot stand on its own. If it could, you wouldn't have any need to disparage the other party as "melodramatic" or anything else. --Tenebrae 22:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Okay, with all of that silliness out of the way, I went ahead and made a few changes to fictional biography (which got deleted during the edit wars, and I can't figure out for the life of me why), while editing personality so it's not redundant.  That I way, I think I got it fulfilled...we have multiple headers in this article, and information is not repeated.  What do you guys think?  It's still a little rough, but this is all collaborative, so I'm always open to suggests.  -Toquinha 18:50, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've just moved this article from Awesome Android (comics) to Awesome Android, because there's no need for the parenthetical disambiguation — we have no other article called "Awesome Android".  This was done per WP:DAB and per a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Uncontroversial proposals. -GTBacchus(talk) 03:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:AA-14.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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:AA-14.jpg

message: In response to Asgardian notifying me on my Talk page that he had unilaterally declared his and my RfC null and void — which is not his choice to do — I have chosen not to continue and bring in an admin to deal with his continued questionable conduct.
I have also chosen not to revert the large number of changes he made, although having to make all the many tiny changes detailed below is much harder and I do not plan on doing that again when he behaves this way. It is my  hope that these details will have some effect on his future editing. I am trying to be constructive, though I note that Asgardian has been reminded of Wikipedia policies many times in the past.:
* Character names like Iron Man are not titles and are not ital.
* Once more: "features" is not used that way in US English. We don't write "humourous" and we don't say "the character features in" – it's "is featured in" or "appears in" or "stars in". It's not "the group are," but "the group is." Why you persist in Britishisms when you, like other presumably British WPC editors, knows that Wikipedia style is to use US English terms for US companies and characters seems, after all these years of your knowing this, puzzling.
* It is not POV to say that the word "perennial" does not apply. Perennial, when not speaking of plants, means continuing without interruption or regularly repeated and renewed. A character with a gap in appearance from the 1960s to the 1980s is not perennial. By your definition, virtually every Marvel hero or villain is perennial, making the word meaningless in this context.
* FCB is written in-universe. That means we don't refer to "the character" from an out-of-universe perspective.
* If we say someone is an antagonist of a Marvel heroes, we it's not necessary to say "in Captain America he battles Captain America" ("self-same hero"). In the FF 28 mentions it's done to differentiate between that FF and the X-Men, but, rightly, you did not do it in the FF 15 mention. It's unnecessarily wordy.
* Watch out for passive-voice construction. In most cases, a phrase such as "The Android is created by the Mad Thinker" is better rendered as "The Mad Thinker creates the Android." Writing 101.
* The Style guide shows the long months abbreviated in cover dates. You spell them out and abbreviate "June" as "Jun.", "March" as "Mar." and "April" a "April."  – why? Minor corrections: You used single hyphens where m-dashes go. Watch pronoun use – in one sentence, "his" could have referred to the Mad Thinker, the Android or Tony Stark. Adverbs ending in "-ly" aren't followed by a hyphen in compound modifiers.
I don't want to get in another edit war with Asgardian, who is currently blocked from editing the Rhno and Abomination articles for such conduct. If this continues, and if he refuses to try to work with other editors' RfC consensus, then that is an option to request for this article as well. -- Tenebrae (talk) 14:10, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think there's a degree of overreaction here. I still believe the RfC was not necessary, and there have been almost no responses in over a fortnight which shows it was something of a storm in a teacup. If anything, it has brought Tenebrae and I together in discussion about this issue. Now, this is not hard. I have accommodate every request that Tenebrae has made, and am happy to also implement the suggestions made above. I am not from the US, so my spelling of certain words is different, and have no objection to changes. I will try to adhere to US spelling, just as I have taken on board the suggestion about dates.
In fact, it would have been good to have all this pointed out a tad earlier, as the extra information is still valid. There is a PH and a FCB, and with the changes suggested that will hopefully be the end of this matter and we can move on. There has been, however, no edit warring. I have accommodated all suggestions, and will continue to do so after the next minor revamp. Asgardian (talk) 23:13, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Latest round

message: There is a confusing sentence in the Fictional Character biography. It reads: "After battles with the superhero teams the Thunderbolts,[10] and the Heroes For Hire,[11] and two more encounters with the Fantastic Four,[12] the Android is reclaimed by the Thinker."
My question is, did Andy's encounters with the Thunderbolts and Heroes for Hire happen at the same time, or were they separate events. Should either read, " ... Thunderbolts, Heroes for Hire, and two ..." or "Thunderbolts and Heroes for Hire, and two ..." depending on the answer to my question.
