Spider-Man II and Spider-Gwen

If they begin a relationship, as is alluded to in the promotional material, then a brief mention of it may be reasonable, IMO. Otherwise, I'd leave it out. Nightscream (talk) 19:53, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Injustice Comics Moved

Why did you move the Injustice Comics to "In Other Media"? As far as I'm aware, it belongs in "Other Versions" since it qualifies as an alternate timeline displayed in comics. If we are going by the logic that it is tied to other media (the Injustice video game) why don't the Arkham Knight comics deserve to be moved as well? Thanks,Klayman55 (talk) 02:08, 13 January 2017 (UTC)Klayman55[reply]

The Arkham Universe does not have a designated Earth either, as far as I am aware. Correct me if I am wrong. In your explanation, I still do not see how that would be an different from Injustice. Thanks, Klayman55 (talk) 03:13, 21 February 2017 (UTC)Klayman55[reply]

Monsters Unleashed

I've combined the two volumes into a single article, as WikiProject Comics does for multiple volumes of small-run series. It probably should have been discussed on the talk page before you created that other article. But I understand: WP:BRD. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:21, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Rtkat3. Always liked your Wikipedia handle, by the way. The difference is that Secret Wars has three iterations with long articles — although each of the second two series' articles needs to be trimmed severely; one of them has an issue-by-issue synopsis, which WPC specifically disallows. The better example would be Mystic Comics. But no worries. All good. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:33, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

February 2017

Hello and good day sir, could you please cease and desist from adding to knowledge that which is impossible to verify, that which has little coverage, and that which has original research backing them.

Wikipedia indicates in policy, WP:GNG that articles possessing some of the aforementioned qualities may not be suitable for inclusion. The few significant coverage possessed by some of the comic characters you developed are by their inventors, hence faulting in WP:GNG as sources provided are to be independent of subject.

Bucky redirects

Hi, I wanted to tell you that I don't think it's great that you removed the Winter Soldier (comics) redirect to Bucky Barnes since it wasn't broken and it would be convenient to have incase of a split in the future. I hope you don't take offense but I think it's better if such links were left be. I intentionaly left them like that when I split the Bucky artilce and Bucky Barnes one.★Trekker (talk) 14:35, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

'Incomplete' tag

Hi Rtkat3. You placed the template {{incomplete}} on Beauty and the Beast (2017 film). Would you care to provide some detail on the article's talk page about what you feel is missing? Thanks! Wyddgrug (talk) 00:54, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rtkat3 responded on my talk page.

I haven't seen the film so cannot vouch for the description of the plot as it appears being accurate, but it looks like a thorough treatment that takes the reader right through the story. (In fact it looks longer than most plot sections and I see someone has tagged it for this and there is some discussion on the talk page.) I see you've edited the article since and what I don't understand is why the incomplete tag has been left there. Do you still feel that the plot section is incomplete? If so, please say something on the talk page so other editors know what needs addressing. Pending that I've removed the tag, as I can't see that the article is missing anything substantial.

Detail bloat and other notes on writing

Hi. Would you please stop adding these ridiculously inflated passages of useless detail like this one and [this one? These sections are supposed to briefly summarize material. The edited version of the entry on William Cobb here is of reasonable length and detail. The prior version is not, and is not helping this project. I've gone over this with you on more than one occasion over the past several years. Can you pleas stop? Nightscream (talk) 22:14, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

One other thing:

There are certain practices that I come across every day in comics-related articles that cost me a lot of time to clean up. Since I see that you created this article, which exhibits some of them, I would really appreciate it if you incorporated this into your writing/editing habits, given the amount of work you do:

Storylines are not italicized. They're quoted. Only the names of specific books are italicized.
Bullets are clarify, at a glance, the items in a list. If you only have one item under a heading, then it's not a list. They are also not needed if the item is a paragraph of considerable length.
Similarly, you cannot divide a section into only one subsection. If a character like Grid, for example, only appears in one other media adaptation, then this is the way to present it.
I understand if you don't remember the creative team or date of a given issue, but if you know that a book cited as a source is by Marvel or DC, then please try to include that in the citations, since it's easy to do so. It would save me a lot of work.
I'm not sure if you do this or if it's other editors who do this, but please don't refer to storylines or other things as "events". We have to write these articles with the understanding that the uninitiated may read them. We can't assume that everyone who reads them understands comics lingo like you and I do. The clearest way to refer to a story, storyline, story arc, etc., is as such. Calling it an "event", may confuse the reader, who may not understand if the word "event" refers to an external, out-universe event, like a company ending an imprint, or an internal, in-universe event, like what happens to a character. Similarly, brandings and initiatives like The New 52 and All-New, All-Different Marvel should not be italicized or quoted, nor referred to as "events".

I would really appreciate it if you took the time to consider this, as it would improve the consistency of the comics articles on Wikipedia. Thanks again, Rtkat3. Nightscream (talk) 00:05, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response.

I apologize if it seemed that I was implying that you were the one doing this. I've long-assumed that multiple editors were doing it. (This is why I commented above "I'm not sure if you do this or if it's other editors who do this...") I contacted you yesterday merely because I noticed that one particular example of this was by you. In general, I appreciate the energy and the work you display in trying to improve articles.

I don't think changes in costume are salient enough to be significant, unless you can cite a secondary source indicating otherwise. If we noted every time a character's look changes amid a new artist being assigned to them, the articles would further cluttered with fannish cruft. Nightscream (talk) 16:17, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Why are you still creating superfluous subheadings in articles (here, for example), when I mentioned to you above that this is unnecessary and redundant? Can you please stop? Nightscream (talk) 03:18, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you still adding bullets to single-paragraph/single-sentence sections? Nightscream (talk) 18:03, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Creator credits in Lead sections

Hi. Please do not remove creator credits from Lead sections, as you did here and here. Such information is indeed salient enough that it should be mentioned in the Lead. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:45, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Lead section of an article is a summary of the article's most salient information, which means it duplicates information found further down in the article, so one is not a substitute for the other. For articles on comics characters, the characters' creators and first appearance is obviously among the most important info. If you came across other articles like that, then they were wrong.

In any event, while it's true that editors on the Comics Project have stressed that articles should emphasize out-universe information instead of in-universe information, and that this means emphasizing Publication history sections that discuss the characters in terms of their real-world status over FCB sections that treat the fictional stories as real, if all you're going to do is create a PH heading and move info from the Lead to that new section, then you're not improving the article, for the reason mentioned above.

Regarding the upcoming Miles Morales plot point:

The ideal examples for handling plot info in comics character articles are the Batman, Superman and Spider-Man articles, which have enjoyed Featured Article or Good artcle status. You'll notice that the FCB section in Spidey's article is small compared to the PH section (especially compared to the out-of-control FCB sections in articles like Captain America). Ditto for the Batman article, in which the PH section combines out-universe and in-universe information, with in-universe information on the character summarized historically in the Characterization section. The Superman article has a FCB section, but again, look at how it generally summarizes the most important historical info about his stories. It does not list every single storyline. Simply put, that is not what a general knowledge encyclopedia does. That is more along the lines of what an index does. It is for this reason that I've tried to keep the FCB modest in the Miles Morales article. In truth, I've thought for some time that I could trim it even more. A mere fight or confrontation between two characters, in and of itself, does not necessarily need to be mentioned.

Just remember that both the Lead section and the Infobox summarize information in the article (albeit in different ways), and that this means they will repeat info in the article's body, and therefore, should not be thought of as substitutes for mentioning things in the body, or vice versa.

Nomination of Simon Stagg for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Simon Stagg is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Simon Stagg until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Drmies (talk) 16:22, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rtkat3: I occasionally read Drmies' talk page to see whether I can help with something. The deletion discussion exists; just click on the link. It's a peculiar glitch in the software that they are redlinked in the notification messages even though they have already been created. I haven't looked at the article, but I'll wish you good luck arguing for its retention, nonetheless. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:43, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

John Rocco Edit-A-Thon

Annnouncing RRTF's first Edit-A-Thon! In honor of his July 9 birthday, RRTF will be hosting an editing event focused on author/illustrator John Rocco. The event will last until the first day of August, when the most helpful contributor will be featured on RRTF's forums. More information can be found here on the talk page, where you may also post questions and comments (as always). Please consider helping out! -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 03:41, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Favor for Rtkat3

Hello Rtkat3, can you do me a huge favor and write a synopsis for "Ties That Bind" (#109B) on List of The Loud House episodes? That segment badly needs one! Oh, and make sure to write one in your own words for copyright reasons. Thanks!Elijah Abrams (talk) 22:53, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re: List of The Loud House episodes

Hi, there. Just wanted to follow up. There was no reason to remove that information from the lead and then replace it with "below is a list of episodes." That is obvious from the article title that it is a list of episodes, so having that there is redundant. Also, for the segment "L Is for Love," please stop changing "Is" to "is," as per MOS:CAPS, only prepositions should not be capitalized—unless they're at the beginning or end of a title—and "is" is not a preposition. And please stop adding the quotation marks to the L for that same segment as even the segment title card does not have those. You've been unofficially warned at least two times about this. I'm not one to template good faith editors like yourself, just be more careful in the future and heed the advice given. Thanks. Now, having said that, as you seem to enjoy writing episode summaries, we could certainly use your help with that. That would certainly be appreciated. Amaury (talk | contribs) 23:46, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Another Favor

Hey Rtkat3, can you do me another favor and write the summaries for "Bathroom Break!!" and "Slice of Life"? They still need one each.Elijah Abrams (talk) 23:26, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
