Got questions?
post any new questions by starting a new section below. Before posting, understand the following:
  1. if it isn't cited, it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia; don't even bother arguing it with me.
  2. I am a a follower of Conan the Grammarian: if its bad writing, I am going to correct it.
  3. I am polite and appreciate politeness in turn. If you act like an ass-hat, I'll ignore you, decimate you, or simply point and laugh.
  4. I like butterscotch. I don't know how that matters here, but I'm just throwing that out there.

Captain Marvel edits

Concerning your criticism/reversion of my edits to Captain Marvel (DC Comics):

  1. For the vast majority, the comics issues are themselves the sources (this is especially true for the rewrite of the description of the feature's appearances in the last 13 issues of Adventure Comics; there is, off the top of my head, at least one reprint from DC's early 70s Shazam! comic, a Mary Marvel solo, and maybe another with C.M. Jr.; the non-appearances of the feature in #s 500 & 503 and the reasons therefor are similarly not open to dispute).
  2. I did not "remove Newton" but merely relocated his first appearance to the revamp of which his arrival was part.
  3. As for the serials, just check out the articles for Adventures of Captain Marvel and the earlier Mysterious Doctor Satan and you'll find citations for the fact that the storyline of the Superman serial pitch was reworked as Satan, not Marvel.
  4. That you also reverted the strictly "mechanical errors" (minor grammatical changes, duplicated full names/Wikilinks, and especially the typographical misspelling of "Batson" as "Baton," none of which have any effect on meaning) shows that you did not look closely at the diff. pages of my edits, which you linked in on my talk page, prior to hitting the "undo" button, never a good idea.

Again, for the comics discussion, the issues, carefully identified, are themselves Wiki-acceptable sources, even if I did not make formal reference citations of them, and just give me time and I'll duplicate the cites from the serials' articles to the others. Also note that the article has a "Citations needed" template at the top, so singling out my not really unsupported edit of the DC Comics run in favor of a less accurate version that is no better cited is very strange. I have added your talk page to my watchlist so you can respond right here and I'll know about it. --Tbrittreid (talk) 22:53, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

My most humble apologies, as item #4 was completely unjustified. Very sorry, sir. --Tbrittreid (talk) 23:12, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Re: Hikaru Kato

Re your message: I have reverted your blanking of the redirect. Please do not do that again. I am sure that with the many Star Trek fans that there will eventually be somebody who will answer your question on the article talk page. If somebody does not answer the question, I recommend that you bring up the topic on Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Star Trek or if that doesn't work, then starting a new discussion at Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion would be the best way to have the redirect deleted. No speedy deletion categories would apply for the redirect to be deleted. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:20, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
