Captain America: The First Avenger

Hello. I'm copy editing the article at the request of Darkwarrior and have spotted a possible problem in its Marketing section. Please could you take a look at User talk:Darkwarriorblake#Your GOCE Request and comment? Thanks in advance. --Stfg (talk) 10:02, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

No problem, dunno how I missed that one award though, double checked it. Thought "Well I've got the ref handy, might as well hit a bunch of articles at the same time", save others the trouble. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 17:04, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

First Avenger

Threats are unbecoming, especially ones that are cut and paste by someone who is not an administrator. Your reverts are basically pointless since they are linking to an article about a mere shape and not the artifact that is clearly being portrayed in the film. The shape of the tesseract tells nothing about the source material on which the film is based, and is a redundant inclusion on the article's plot outline. Linking to the Cube is relevant given the film's source material, and allows a reader further insight into the material that brought about the creation of the film. Ganthet2814 (talk) 20:10, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

That was no threat and please use the article's talk page to resolve any disputes you may have. Thank you.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 20:13, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

If my dispute is with your edits, then it seems more appropriate if I direct my comments to you. Also, saying that I will be disciplined is a threat. Ganthet2814 (talk) 20:17, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

They are not just my edits. You appear to be edit warring with other editors as well. If you continue you will be blocked. Again this is not a threat. Thank you.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 20:19, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

"If you don't stop doing A, B will happen to you." That is a threat, regardless of your semantics. Thank you. Ganthet2814 (talk) 20:31, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

No, its a warning. One that I highly suggest you heed. Thank you.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 22:11, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages blackout

I just got a press release from the Misplaced Pages Foundation saying English-language Misplaced Pages is staging a 24-hour blackout on Wednesday to protest (as well it should) the SOPA legislation before Congress. Darn good way to get people's attention to that frightening bill.--Tenebrae (talk) 01:33, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Smithsonian Institution Archives Edit-a-Thon and Meetup!

Who should come? You should. Really.
	She Blinded Me with Science: Smithsonian Women in Science Edit-a-Thon will be held on Friday, March 30, 2012 at the Smithsonian Archives in Washington, D.C. This edit-a-thon will focus on improving and writing Misplaced Pages content about women from the Smithsonian who contributed to the sciences. It will be followed by a happy hour meetup! We look forward to seeing you there!

...and if you do not live in the Washington, D.C. area, please forgive the intrusion and you can delete this invite! Sarah (talk) 20:30, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your edits at the Box office section of Thor (film). Just wanted to assure you my edit-summary comments were not directed at your edits, but at an earlier editor whose work has been the subject of discussion since before this past October. Your stuff is as judicious and well-reasoned as always. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 14:03, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

No problem, I figured they weren't.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 16:34, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

No need, I'll voluntarily remove it.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 23:14, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Avengers

It's quite alright, I wasn't put off or anything. I also think "Later" is a better option. I didn't read the whole paragraph, and "also" to me seemed like something was being connected to so I changed it to "In addition".  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 18:57, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey T3, I added some info about pre-release tracking to the Avengers article and the source I used has been updated to include some more info. Rather than try and fit it in I wanted to see if you thought it was worth it first. It mentions this Ultimate Marvel Marathon thing where they sold out tickets a month in advance to see a marathon of the five Marvel films before the midnight launch, and the other part just mentions the date/countries where the film will be first wide released.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 17:24, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Alright, what about the Marvel Marathon thing? Is that worth mentioning as a marketing and/or release event? I don't quite understand how big an event it is based on that article, don't know if you do.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 18:36, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

OK, also saw this http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Avengers-Really-Finished-Robert-Downey-Jr-Says-So-30403.html thought you might find it interesting, don't thnik there is enough there to warrant it's inclusion in the article though. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 22:14, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

"Marvel Avengers Assemble" :( I gotta admit, I'm kinda angry that Disney thinks we're too stupid to differentiate between a film about comic heroes and an old film about a British TV Show and so gave us this offensively bad title. - EDIT Also this lists it as "Marvel's Avengers Assemble" and this as "Marvel Avengers Assemble". Seems to be some lack of clarity on how the Marvel is presented but it does seem to be Marvel Avengers Assemble. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 11:34, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure how it could be worded but I think it is interesting information. Post release for instance, where available, I add gender and age breakdowns when I can because I think some people will be enlightened by how certain audience types react. There is a lot of pre-release tracking for Avengers and I think that info will be really good when it is actually released, to compare the anticipation with the reality. So I think it would be worth including.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 13:43, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Also I just saw this. I don't know if any of those photos are of interest to you, I'm not quite sure how but I could try to contact the person who took them to see if they'd let one go for use in the article.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 13:55, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Hmm...tough question...probably Box Office since it's tied to predictions on the financials. Would make it easier to compare against the actual takings. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 18:41, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Avengers vs. X-Men

Thanks for the compliment. :-) I usually stay away from large-scale editing on those crossover articles (aside, perhaps, from basic copyediting or organizing), and I don't even intend to read AvX. The only reason I started and maintained the "Fear Itself" article was because I was present at the press conference at which Quesada, Alonso and Brevoort announced it, and took photos of the event, so I felt that gave me an advantage in getting the article started. Nonetheless, I did some copyediting/cleanup to the AvX article. I hope you find it helpful. Nightscream (talk) 20:30, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I would prefer only to protect a page after placing warnings on the IP's talk page fails to work, or if the disruption comes from multiple IPs. There is only one IP making any recent edits to the article, with only one that was clearly disruptive The only one that appears inappropriate was the last one, so I left a message on that IP's talk page. If it continues, I'll intervene with more decisive measures. Nightscream (talk) 20:49, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 5

Hi. When you recently edited Wrath of the Titans, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zimbo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Thanks

Much better the way you did it. I hadn't wanted to just revert the other editor entirely, since he did find a cite, and I did try to base what seemed salvageable on what was done on another comics-movie page, but your edit tied it all together pretty seamlessly. Just wanted to say, Bravo, dude. --Tenebrae (talk) 03:16, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Avengers (roster members)

Hello, TriiipleThreat. I'm sorry, I don't speak english. Ce message est au sujet des récentes modifications de Avengers (comics). Je suis désolé mais il est évident que vous vous tromper. Car la série Avengers Assemble est considéré comme parlant de l'équipe actuelle des Avengers. Allez voir sur www.marvel.wikia.com/Avengers_(Earth-616) ou sur www.marvel.wikia.com/New_Avengers_Vol_2_26, et vous comprendrez que lors de l'événement Avengers vs. X-Men, Storm a quitté les Avengers, et que Black Panther, Black Widow, Thor et Hulk les ont rejoins durant la séries Avengers Asemble. Ils apparaîssent d'ailleurs tous comme mebres actifs dans New Avengers #26 qui est sortit en librairie hier et dans les récents numéros de Amazing Spider-Man durant l'événement de End of the Earth et plusieurs sites sur les comics les présentent comme meembres actifa. Donc s'il vous plait arrêtez d'enlever mes modifications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.94.22.73 (talk) 22:00, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Denisof, Gjokaj and Johnson

Just so you know, Alexis Denisof plays a character called "The Other". Enver Gjokaj is in the film as a New York cop and Ashley Johnson is a waitress who has a crush on Captain America. The last two may not be notable roles, but the first one sure as hell is! – PeeJay 00:27, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Still needs to be referenced by a reliable third-party source.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 00:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Neutral notice

This is a neutral notice to members of WikiProject Comics of a discussion of interest at Talk:Blackmark (novel)#Move?. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:02, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Triiiple T -- If you know of editors in WikiComics Projects who might additionally like to comment on the above, please let them know. Things are starting to get ugly there, and a larger variety of editors commenting might cool things down. Lordy, lordy. --Tenebrae (talk) 18:43, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

As a newcomer to this article, I really don't know any other editors who might have an opinion on this. You might want to post a notice at WT:COMICS. Also after reading much of the discussion, favor doesn't seem to have sifted too far just a couple of more outspoken editors. I know it sometimes get hard not to take these things personally especially after all the time and effort you have put into it but the only thing I can advise is to let the discussion take its course. If the move is indeed blocked I think you'll find after while you'll get used to it and find other concerns to rack your brain over. At least thats usually the case with me. Good luck!--TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:23, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

List of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes characters

Not sure. I can't remember which episode they called out his name, nor which one they referred to him as, so I'd have to go back and rewatch to verify. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 16:15, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

The Avengers

I think they should at least be acknowledged as part of the cast. Maybe add them back once the movie hits theatres and it's a known fact? And i think Stanton's cameo would be notable, he is a notable actor. RAP (talk) 16:48 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps, depending on the size of the roles. Stanton is a very notable actor but his role in this film might not be that relevant. Stan Lee is mentioned because he has a notable connection to the project; being a creator.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 17:25, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Dude, just saw a press screening. It's everything you could want, and even a little more. I'm actually going to pay to see it again when it comes out. No spoiler to say they finally did the Hulk right. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:18, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Absolutely. I'd be happy and even honored. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:27, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Avengers Assessment

I don't use those assessment's period, because it's a sample size. I detest using things like "universal acclaim" or "universally panned" because "universal" implies basically everyone and since we only get a small sample size it's not responsible of us to apply such generalizations. I get that RT or MetaCritic are doing it, but I've always been against it. The same with the words "acclaim" or "panned"; they come across as personal opinions (again, it's RTs and MC's opinions). I tend to just stick to the data and let that speak for itself, but that's my personal philosophy. If the page is going to reflect an outside sources interpretation of reviews, then I think we should wait till it has more than 30 reviews from either site. Considering that once it is released in the US there will probably be closer to 200 reviews, it seems better to wait.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:25, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

I'd say so, because we probably should not be quoting a site that has like 6 or 9 reviews (or whatever it is).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:51, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Just to temper my note to Triiple above, yes, of course, I agree with Bignole in favor of the most neutral wording (as I'm sure Triiip does, too). See my note from a few minutes ago at Talk:Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:20, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey T3, saw this and thought it was somewhat remarkable but I don't know if MovieTickets.com is something that is a big deal in the US. Was going to add it myself until I saw where it was from so thought I would ask your opinion on if it was worth while.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 17:23, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

AVX: VS

Hi. Thank you for contacting me about this issue about the book title! Although Marvel's website lists the book as "Avengers Vs. X-Men: Versus", the solicitations they sent to every specialized comic book websites refer to the book as "AVX: VS", such as Newsarama, Comic Book Resources, Bleeding Cool and so on. The book is still referred to as "AVX: VS" in the May, June and July solicitations; it seems weird to think that Marvel would keep sending the solicitations to all websites with the wrong title. Maybe someone should contact one of their representatives to clarify this out. Thank you for your attention! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.107.4.202 (talk) 20:17, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Message from Mitchell-16

What note are you referring to? I only stated the release dates for the film in the republic of ireland and the UK, it is relevant as the film is already out there. Mitchell (talk) 21:25, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

There is an editor's note in the same sentence you edited referring you to the guideline on release dates. The film is out in lots of places, we only include the earliest release date and the release date in the country of origin.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 21:30, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Avengers

Hiya, Triiip. Didn't know it was you removing Para from the lead. I'm leaving it tillI speak with you, since I know you know your stuff. Could you go over the rationale with me, though? Onscreen and on the poster and in the press material, it all says "Marvel Studios in association with Paramount Pictures," so I'm not we can go against the official credits. If Para put money and resources into it, then the fall under "production studio" — as many Hollywood companies still are, in addition to distributors. In any event, that's what the "in association with" credit generally means — like "Marvel Studios in association with Fairview Entertainment" as the onscreen credits for Iron Man 2. Let's talk when you get a chance.--Tenebrae (talk) 13:45, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Absolutely — I must have skimmed right past this on the talk page. We should probably add a sentence to this effect somewhere in the article body specifically to explain the onscreen credit; otherwise, if we're any example (!), it could be confusing. In fact, there's probably a sentence about Paramount turning over the production in the article already, and we can just add a phrase within it to explain how that resulted in this specific onscreen credit. --Tenebrae (talk) 15:55, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Looks like an edit-war may be brewing over a separate issue at The Avengers (2012 film). Just a neutral head's up. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:07, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Ah, geez! Sorry. I just assumed it was a straight copy-paste of text. Didn't occur to me it might be from a video. My apologies. It's one thing for a professional organization to have that issue; it's a much different and more understandable thing for a civilian. I'm like Ralph Kramden here: "Me and my biiiiig mouth!" Mea culpa, mi amigo. --Tenebrae (talk) 14:05, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

And thank you for catching my website-attribution error. I have no excuse!

Well, I do have a rationale, at least, for why my brain is distracted -- I've just finished writing a far-too-short (650-word) Avengers feature for my newspaper. Let me know if you want to see it when it comes out Friday -- we've been colleagues long enough I don't mind being non-anonymous with you. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:39, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

This is a neutral notice of what may be a brewing edit war at The Avengers (2012 film) regarding the consensus comprise re: Thanos. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:02, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Of course. It hadn't occurred to me. Rest assured that what is revealed above has no bearing on the body of the film itself. See you on the flip side. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:26, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Triple, I haven't been following the article intentionally but why is it being referred to by name as the Cosmic Cube? Was there a discussion about that because it's only referred to as the Tesseract in the film and in the plot it's being flat out called Cosmic Cube, not even Easter Egg linked. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 21:29, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Oh have you not seen it yet? Glad I didn't spoil anything for you then, I assumed you had. Well I've removed it anyway, they were just literally referring to it as the Cosmic Cube throughout the plot. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 21:41, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

I've requested page protection for The Avengers, the level of activity is ridiculous and minor edits are being lost to larger vandalism or ignorance of consensus.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 12:27, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

The jerkoff declined it O_o, not enough recent activity. Just ya know, the last 24 hours of constant reverts and undo's. Need JGreb. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 12:44, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Apropos of this, I've just given Darkwarrior some well-deserved kudos on his talk page, as I gratefully give you now, over all the effort you and some of our other colleagues are putting in to keep out the fancruft, the vandalism and the plot bloat out. It's going to be rough there for a couple of weeks. --Tenebrae (talk) 00:00, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Found this, don't know if the talk about the wanting to go cosmic Marvel and that was the origin of the alien invasion and such would be of use to the article or not. ALso says that Joss was the one who came up with the leader being Thanos. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 19:10, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I'll have a go in an hour or so, just working on some course stuff at the minute. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 21:54, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

The Avengers

You did a good job with the Avengers article. I am proud of you. In fact you are such a inspiration that I came back from my semi-retirement and start to be involved with expanding and bettering a lonelier upcoming film article on my own. Keep up the good work. Jhenderson 13:58, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Will do. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:53, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Avengers cast list

Relax, the second revision wasn't for the purposes of an edit war. It just made copying & pasting onto the talk page easier. (you did see my comment about the talk page?) Anyway, I see you put alot of work into this article, good job. But I must ask, why have you sought to preclude Gregg/Coulson from the cast list? - thewolfchild 00:22, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
