thread_title:  Citations for use 

message: Okay let's see what we got here. 
*It is well written. - Yes, easily passes this one. Very wel written, and excellent for an article about a work of fiction.
*It is factually accurate and verifiable. - No problems, all references in proper format, and all fine.
*It is broad in its coverage. - My first reaction was no, but that was the first reaction. When I fully read the article I changed my mind. The publication section is very informative, and comprehensive and includes the pre-order sale figures as well which is good.
*It follows the neutral point of view policy. - Yep.
*It is stable - Yessem
*It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic. - Yep, and its properly tagged and FUsed, very good. 
Overall the article is very detailed, comprehensive and informative to someone like me who "only vaugely knows who Optimus Prime and Megatron are", nice work. I have made one minor, minor change, that doesn't merit putting it on hold. "although he find it difficult in terms of having to rationalize gender in giant robots" needed to be "although he found it difficult in terms of having to rationalize gender in giant robots." 
Okay so the verdict. I'm glad to say that I am going to pass this article, and you have the privilege of knowing that this is the first article I have ever passed as a GA. Good job. Gran2 21:43, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Too bold? 

message: Just curious, but as NA/TF has been indicated in a few places to not really take place in the continuity, but not contradict it either, how much of a mention, if at all, do we give it in the text?SMegatron 08:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New Avengers/Transformers

message: Shockwave and the Dinobots have not been in stasis lock for "millions of years."  No specific time is ever given.  However, when they appear the dinosaurs are extinct (the dinobots assume their forms by detecting the fossils).  Also, the ice age is ending and mastodons are dying out before Shockwave's eyes (he makes a comment that they are unable to adapt).  According to the Wiki page Mastodon's existed in North America until 10,000 years ago, which is also around the time the ice age ended.  Thus the story's context puts it at roughly 10,000 years ago.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.91.123.164 (talk) 06:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Correction for Shockwave - Spotlight

message: Liste WesleyDodds, I have been watching this article for the past month and before that user SMegatron and the anonymous user you reverted were also watching and editing it. And me, SMegatron and the anonymous user have had no problem with that section being there. You said, The in-story chronology is not notable unless you have a secondary source discussing it. Now please listen, you are new to this article and since you made this statement it is obvious you have not read the comic. The comic itself has one big story, but the story is not told in the comic from A to B to C, from issue 1 to issue 2 to issue 3, from one comic to the next. No, the story jumps from point 1 in time with issue A, to point 5 in time with issue B, than back to point 3 in time with issue C and so on. You said You can read from number 1 to whatever, that's the thing, no you can not read from number 1 to whatever. The section is needed so the Wikipedia readers who come to this article would know in which order to read the comic, that's the purpose of Wikipedia, being informative for it's readers. In any case, us three have had no problem with the section and have been keeping it up-to-date, since we are reading the comic, and it's three against one. I would urge you to reconsider this since a majority of editors have not had a problem with this.LiquidOcelot24 (talk) 01:07, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It violates Wikipedia:Original research. You need a secondary source (that is, something aside from the comics themselves) to back this information up and establish its notability, or else it can be removed per Wikipedia:Be bold. Consensus does not excuse poorly sourced information. WesleyDodds (talk) 01:22, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Chronological comic order

message: Quite a few tags on this article. I am hoping someone more familiar with the subject may  ve able to deal with them, otherwise this will probably have to go through a WP:GAR. AIRcorn (talk) 09:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA status 

message: FINALLY, after the longest wait someone added a whole lot of information missing with the timeline. But, honestly, I think there need to be more pages on some of these series. Unfortunately, I could not humanly find the time to make all of these (Though I am working on a page for More Than Meets The Eye).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ig44165 (talk • contribs) 02:47, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
