Big Red? What about Pulsar? -Derik 10:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

The guy from ATSCAL isn't red and isn't necessarily Pulsar.

It was Octopunch who shot Grimlock in the original Marvel book - did they change that? -LV 16:14, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope. It was just 4am.  Fixed. --ItsWalky 17:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Walky, you doofus, you changed it to Stranglehold. -LV 17:59, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd still disagree that Big Red deserves his own entry undaer a nickname though. A sub-section under Pulsar noting he may be a seperate character, yes. (You can feel free to disagree.) -Derik 17:14, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree "Big Red" does deserve his own page, 'cuz Dan Khanna drew the big red guy who appeared in #1, not Pulsar. Pulsar's a different color.  --ItsWalky 22:22, 5 April 2006 (PDT)

Image
I have removed Image:Vectorprimeinthebeginning.jpg from this page due to a complaint about copyright infringgement. It is possible that a reduced version of this might be fair use, but no source for the image was cited and no claim for fair use made. I suggest this wiki implement a policy on image uploads like Wikipedia has. See Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Fair use. Currently, there seems no justification made, so I need to respond to the complaint quickly in order to prevent it escalating. Angela (talk) 05:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Can you tell us where the complaint came from, or is that a no-no? I think it would be useful to know if the complaint came from some random guy (IE, a vandalism attempt) or from people who actually own this.  --ItsWalky 05:19, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

If I had to place bets, probably Fun Publications. Which makes sense, and, well, is within their right. Jus' reduce the image size down to where the text is totally undreadable, I think, and that should suffice... --M Sipher


 * It was from a company that claims the image was there property, not just a random internet user. Angela 06:36, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * All righty, just making sure. --ItsWalky 07:33, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a fair point, most everything else here clearly falls udner fair use (individual pannels/stills for context.) Because the FP stuff lacks a cover, exerptign an image like that is a much bigger... thing.
 * How should we be amrkign these things as fair sue? Is there a template tag we can just add to tne end of an image description to make a claim of fair use pop up? -Derik 12:48, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Have a look at Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Fair_use to find an appropriate tag (or more than one) which could be copied to this wiki. The important thing is to provide a detailed rationale as to why each image qualifies as fair use. Wikipedia says:


 * In general four factors must be considered:


 * the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
 * the nature of the copyrighted work;
 * the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
 * the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

What if we just scaned the part at the top with the title? X-BoB58 19:56, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * While this would probably pass "fair use" muster, I would rather see a small thumbnail (that can't be expanded to a legible page of the comic) used, and think this would be sufficient (as it reflects on the "amount and substiantiality" clause above). In the text detailing how it is fair use, you might also note that this is for the purpose of commentary ("purpose and character of use").--G.B. Blackrock 20:23, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
