Talk:The Authority (comics)

message: dudes 
the colonel is a tribute ( if u can call it that)  to DAVID BECKHAM. Isnt that clear so why erase a clear fact. gimme a reson and i'll let go.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.226.23.18 (talk) 18:05, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering the Colonel is a murderous psychopath and Beckham is a real person, that's why. You can't go around comparing real non-criminals to fictional criminals, Wikipedia just doesn't allow it. Lots42 (talk) 07:00, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

text: The Colonel is a chain-smoking, homophobic hooligan and doesn't look like anyone of note. I'm not sure why you attribute him as a Beckham tribute? He was created as a right-wing antithesis to Jenny Sparks.  Mutant Raccoon (talk) 22:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't think we really need two seperate articles.  There's already a (very brief) section on Revolution in the main article, and I think the content from The Authority: Revolution will be more useful there.  -- Vary | Talk 05:02, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I do not know why the anonymous editor claims that the Fibonacci sequence does not apply to the level of The Doctor's power.  Maybe because we do not know that the first two Doctors had equivalent power levels.  Until and unless someone offers an explanation here, I am restoring the reference, using Golden ratio (which is more generally applicable) instead of Fibonacci number.

message: These sections are nice to have but they need some serious clean-up. I've done volume one but i'm not familar with any other volume so if anyone fancies a pop feel free.Logan1138 14:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Storyline

message: Currently, the article lists Jack Hawksmoor as the leader of the Authority.  However, the Authority as led by Hawksmoor disbands in book one of Revolution, and when it reforms in Book Two, it's Jenny Quantum who brings everyone back together, and she certainly seems to take up a leadership position for the rest of that volume, and both Apollo and Midnighter comment on her being the leader of the team (Apollo on settling into a leadership role, and Midnighter on letting Rose Tattoo into "her" team).  As I understand it, nothing has been published since then, so as of the end of Revolution Book Two, isn't the current leader of the Authority Jenny Quantum? Reveilled 00:59, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Current leader of the Authority 

message: I took out the blurb about the authority being described as fascist because a) they weren't (they were dictators and authoritarians), and b) it was unsourced in any event. Wikipedia doesn't need another debate about what fascism is, but it's not anytime you become a dictator and kill people for disagreeing with you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.16.144.44 (talk • contribs) 04:13, 20 June, 2006 (UTC).
Statements made within the material which is the subject matter of the article do not (as far as I'm aware) need to be sourced.  The characters within the comics who disagree with the Authority describe them as Fascists. Reveilled 12:12, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

message: There is currently an entry linked in at Carrier (comics) but it just redirects back here. Worth an entry? What would it include? Known facts, its hisotry, offensive use, etc. Also worth mentioning that Bunny in The Elite is based on it. Thoughts? (Emperor 23:43, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Its throwing up a warning that the page is now 46kb - granted this is largely about legact browsers and the like but is a reasonable indication that things are a bit too big. Given Grant Morrison's run is going to start soon then its only going to grow. Any ideas on trimming things down - possibly by moving some content to other entries? I am thinking the whole Kev storyline precis could be added into the Kev Hawkins entry. (Emperor 15:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why was this article moved? "The Authority" is the correct title of the comic book. --Andromeda 19:15, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah there has been a lot of things being moved around on the justification that it is per the Comics Project naming policy but really you only need to qualify it like this when there are naming conflicts and these moves have been rather a blanket thing without looking into the specifics of each case (or consulting). If The Authority redirects here then it should be under that name. So you have my vote for a move back (Emperor 23:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'd agree with that - if comic project naming policy is to use an incorrect name - well it's wrong. --Charlesknight 09:34, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it's more than just WikiProject Comics that has this policy. It's an official policy of Wikipedia.  However, to my mind, this meets one of the exceptions to the rule.  --GentlemanGhost 18:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
