[edit] BOP Spoilers

The spoilers posted by me for Birds of Prey were from issue 92 of Birds of Prey. While the book ships next week comic stores can order 1 advanaced copies of certain books that will arrive the following week. The store that I go to had Birds of Prey #92 on hand and I looked through it. So it is not a speculation/spoiler page as you posted in your revisions, it is a factual entry with a warning of spoilers.Dstorres

Thanks for clarifying, Dstorres. I think this crucial "sourcing" information should appear in the entry itself until issue #92 appears on Wednesday. Oh, one more thing: the cover image at the BoP page is still a preview, right? Doesn't the "actual" cover show who the two new members are? (No shadows?)--Galliaz 12:11, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

The cover has 3 shaded figures, just like the promo to keep the readers in suspence (hence my spoiler warnings). Dstorres

Thanks for the follow-up info!--Galliaz 12:33, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flagged/Tagged Entry

The entry on Marina Abramovic is flagged for clean-up. (It also has a NPOV tag.) I've done a considerable number of revisions to the entry: corrected factual errors (for example, the wrong birth date); substantiated any quotes and references (and picture captions); provided accurate biographical information, derived from works written by and about the artist; and worked to provide a neutral/fact-based POV for the essay.

I've provided comments to all of the major edits, and provided information at the entry's talk page. I wanted to have an administrator review the entry to see if the various tags might be removed from it.--Galliaz 17:24, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Galliaz! Anyone can remove those tags, especially since there wasn't much discussion happening on the talk page. If you felt that the article was clean and from a neutral point of view then you could have removed the tags, no need for an administrator. I have removed the tags for you. Thank you for your efforts with the article.--Commander Keane 17:30, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Commander Keane!--Galliaz 17:35, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Galliaz, I'm sorry I never got round to replying to your message on my talk page, I've been very busy outside of Wikipedia at the moment, and haven't yet had a chance! I've just looked at the article though, and it would seem you've done a good job cleaning it up — thanks for your efforts! _└ ^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 09:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, good job. I also tagged the article for cleanup. (Someone removed the tag after UKPaolo added it, I removed it back.) I tried to fix the article myself but gave up in disgust, it was too much of a mess. You really did a great job there. Garion96 ^(talk) 10:53, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words!--Galliaz 20:46, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Donna Troy

Though I like the work you've been doing for the Wonder Woman article, I must ask you to please note that you have added a factually wrong statement to the Donna Troy article when correcting it for grammar and coherence. In your recent edit, you added that Donna Troy's Post-Infinite Crisis origin seems to be the same as "her earliest one", despite the fact that the first issue of the new series shows Donna as Diana's biological sister and inhabiting Themyscira before Diana's departure (both Post-Crisis On Infinite Earths retcons from John Byrne's run on the second Wonder Woman series). Donna also states at the beggining of the first issue that she was "born of magic", and is shown wearing her Titan suit in a flashback, obviously indicating that the reader is not meant to interpret that the magical twin/Titan child origin has been superseded. --Ace ETP 23:42, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Ace ETP! Your points are well taken; mea culpa on the use of "earliest," and the deletion of the 'I was born of magic' quote from WW #1. Having said that, though, I still consider the text of the OYL subsection to be overly wordy, and unnecessarily jargon-laden; I'm working on a factually correct yet more concise revision.--Galliaz 00:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

The current horrible state of that section is mostly my fault. While I understood your intentions to make it better, I changed it back to its previous form due to the Donna Troy article having suffered a lot lately because of some people assuming that Donna's Silver Age origin has been brought back into continuity simply because Diana's Silver Age career has, despite recent books indicating otherwise. They also fail to consider that any change would distance Donna from the Wonder Woman mythos and make her far less special, as she would cease to be Diana's sister (which she clearly is OYL, with some villains even having trouble telling them apart, as in the original magical twin story). Anyway, by all means feel free to clean up my mess. --Ace ETP 00:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Good work on Supergirl, thanks a lot! --The Judge 20:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

No problem!--Galliaz 02:17, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] She-Hulk

Please see my talk page for response. --Jamdav86 16:44, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Captain America

Indeed -- clear, concise edits. Bravo! --Tenebrae 04:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

That's good of you to say; thanks!--Galliaz 11:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
