thread_title:  Bravo! 

message: I added a statement to this article that said something like,  "The most well-remembered Captain Marvel stories were written and drawn by Jim Starlin"
One user commenented that this was a POV statement and removed it.  I just want to discuss this a little, because I think it actually an important statement to have in the article.  First of all, I think that they really the most remembered stories; they were collected and reprinted 10 years later as 'The Life of Captain Marvel'.  Second, I think that this type statement really isn't terribly POV - I didn't say that the Jim Starlin issues were the best - that would be a value judgement.  But is a fact that those issues are the ones that are sought after and command a higher price, because they are well-remembered.  Yeah you could leave the statement out, but I think leaves part of the 'story' incomplete.  The best solution might be to recast the statement in a more 'factual' way.  "One writer of Captain Marvel stories was Jim Starlin".  Or something like that.  But I guess I just think that when you see something that just crosses the POV line a little, it's probably better to try and improve it than to just delete it.  (I can't believe I got concerned about this, but I'm at work and this is more fun than the thing I'm supposed to be doing!)

:I feel the phrase "most well-remembered" is POV. Like you, ike, I did it while at work and didn't have time to put enough thought into rephrasing it, sorry. I agree that if Jim Starlin is reasonably integral to the article, then he should be mentioned in a well phrased NPOV manner. Could you say something like "Jim Starlin was one of hte more highly acclaimed writers of the Captain Marvel stories"?  UtherSRG 23:56, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: How about something like what we find in the Daredevil article? "Daredevil was not an overly popular or influential Marvel hero until the late 1970s when writer/illustrator Frank Miller made him a much darker character. ..." I really loved DD or Captain Marvel when I was reading the Lee+Colan stories, but I loved even more the later Miller & Starlin works on the characters. PhS 14:52, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Why did someone delete all the images from this site? Much thanks to the person who put them back in.  All of the images were up-loaded using standard Wiki. operating proceedure, so there should be no copyright issues.  Any idea why the images where removed?

thread_title: Images

message: I think the opening of this article should be very brief.  It should simply state that there are multiple characters with the name of Captain Marvel.  The entire rest of the article explains who these people are, so I think it's unnecessary to put any sort of description at the top.

message: Shouldn't there be a discussion about how Stan Lee/Marvel Comics took it upon themselves to trademark (copyright?) the name "Captain Marvel" and, as a result, when DC Comics wanted to publish their own Capt. Marvel comics they had to use Shazam. I'm as big a geek as the next comic fan, but how about some real world info (this and maybe publication history)? Anyone? Roygbiv666 16:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello, I would like to have your opinion on the "In other media" section.
This section does not list all the appearances of each character who took the Captain Marvel codename. Which is why I would like to propose two ideas.
On one hand, I think we could create a new article titled "Captain Marvel in other media," which would look like this page. For instance, Carol Danvers alone has appeared in many different media as Captain Marvel, which makes me believe that the Captain Marvel (Marvel Comics) article would probably have too much data in the "In other media" section. 
On the other hand, I was wondering if you think this section should "remain the same," but that sub-sections should be created to deal with each Captain Marvel.
