Talk:Vixen (comics)

message: :This is off-topic. This article is about Vixen. Wikipedia guidelines say to create a separate article and add a See also to this one. Otherwise, for consitency, you'd have to stick this section in every African comic-book character's entry. -- Tenebrae 13:44, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: How is the bit about a white "Vixen" from Lois and Clark relevant? --Basique 15:56, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe there needs to be a separate Vixen (DC Comics) entry that is only about Vixen? --Basique 14:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Model sheet images only occur in the Marvel Handbook, they are rotations, three separate images used to show three different views of a character's costume. They don't occur in Who's Who and they do not apply to a main page Marvel Universe image because model sheet images only occured on the second pages on the second version of the marvel Universe Handbook, they did not exist in the first version. So the criteria you used for reverting the image was wrong. Therefore i'd like you to put it back the way I had it. --Basique 22:29, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And don't think that doesn't make a lot of us flinch. However. The policy was written correctly and yes, it does mean we have a lot of work to do. Linking to the handbook is fine, but copying information whole-sale from it would not be.  Plagarism=bad, after all. Think of it this way, we don't want to duplicate the exact work from another encyclopedia, including images. Some of us have been heavily re-doing pages with obvious copy-vio, but it's a work in progress. If you know of some pages, please come on over to WP:COMIC and let us know. We may have to add a whole lot more to the notice page, but so far it's been a one-at-a-time correction. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 15:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

text: In further detriment to any fair use claim to Who's Who images, you can't use images from a work that the article does not discuss.  See counterexamples at Wikipedia:Fair use.  Postdlf 16:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I see, then i'll set about replacing my own images with alternates. I don't envy you having to replace those others. --Basique 16:34, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I usually see Basique dealing with problem editors and taking care of problems; this is certainly a minor issue, and I am glad but not surprised to see how fast Basique has accepted that those images might not be appropriate. You're good dude, Basique. --Chris Griswold 17:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Hey thanks Chris, I just finished three big builds in between pretending to be telecommuting, so i'm going to take a break for a while. --Basique 17:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Ugh. I hate it when I start reading an article just to glean information from it and then see a bunch of things wrong with it and feel obligated to edit it. Case in point: This article. It switches from present-tense to past-tense within the same paragraph, and back again, or vice versa. I don't have time for this shit! I am a lazy Wikipedian, I admit it.

replies: text: I went through and changed all the tenses to Present like it should be. Lots42 10:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Cool, thanks. I was going through and doing the opposite (all to Past tense; but only in one section). I knew it was one way or another. I should've checked to see what the rule is regarding "fictional character biographies". Could you gimme some links to guidelines regarding this, seeing as what I seem to edit most IS fictional character bios? Zebraic 11:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:VixenOYL.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

replies: text: Done - it needs more references but, crucially, it is missing a publication history section. I have started it with the latest news but it needs expanding and completing. (Emperor (talk) 18:15, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not a wikipedia expert, but Vixen was also in Lois and Clark, The New Adventures of Superman (S04 E07)... Might be worth mentioning. She appeared as a mysterious superhero that didn't understand Superman's code of ethics. 68.97.165.234 (talk) 03:26, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I've tried very hard to do a very thorough copy edit. From a plain old copy-editing standpoint, there was very little that needed fixing. The article is, by and large EXTREMELY crufty, but deleting cruft is an on-again-off-again venture here at WP anyway, so I decided to leave most of it alone. --Bddmagic (talk) 18:25, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Should the "Vixen" of Lois and Clark be mentioned here?  She had absolutely no ties to the initial character, but it was a DC Comics property that happened to use the exact same name.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:3088:B2F0:488F:9AC8:E998:31AE (talk) 06:43, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
