Nick Cardy
I apologize. It was uncalled for. Nightscream (talk) 19:15, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello Fma12,
I wanted to let you know about an article which I have recently created. Jack C. Harris was a writer and editor at DC Comics in the 1970s and 1980s. Please let me know your opinion about the article. Thanks again. Mtminchi08 (talk) 04:44, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Mtminchi08, I took a look to your article, and... it is very good! From my opinion, your goal was to include the bibliography, so I grew up reading the 1970s comics and I could recognise many of my readings during my childhood. I was editing other topics on WP, such as football and companies articles, but my contribution to comics was Nick Cardy's bibliography, which I started from zero. If you want to add more information there to improve that section, it would be great. Thank you ! Fma12 (talk) 19:14, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- Nick Cardy is one of the all time greats. I started reading comics back in 1973 and Cardy drew the covers for most of the DC Comics at that time. I'll try to work on the Cardy article sometime soon. Thank you again for your support. Mtminchi08 (talk) 01:41, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

What were pencils made of before?
Did you mean to say that Staedtler's 1950 mechanical pencils were "the first pencils made out of wood"? (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Staedtler&diff=412286102&oldid=412283461) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buster79 (talk • contribs) 20:08, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply, and for the link (I should have found it myself from the references, sorry). I made a small correction (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Staedtler&diff=494838183&oldid=494827710). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buster79 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Metropolitano de Hockey (Men)
Hey, I just noticed you reverted an edit I made to Metropolitano de Hockey (Men) a few days ago. As far as I can tell from your edit summary, you objection was to the article using the names of teams as used in their articles (your version uses mostly abbreviations instead). You also made a few other changes, including removing a maintenance template and manual of style stuff, which I'm going to revert; but before I do I was just wondering if you could explain your concerns about the team names? (I know nothing about Argentinian field hockey, so it'd be good if you could try to keep it straightforward). Thanks! – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:08, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, in the case of the clubs you cited, their abreviated form is the way they are most commonly known in Argentina. For example, in the article about Argentine football champions, abreviated names are used instead of complete clubs names. "Club Atlético River Plate" is appropriate for the title of the article about River, but when listing it on a table (where the name repeats once or more), we (in Argentina) refer to it simply as "River Plate". Besides, the most of hockey clubs listed in the Metropolitano article (such as Quilmes) are mostly known for their football teams rather than hockey, so they are called by shortnames ("Quilmes", "Lomas Athletic") because the words "club"/club atlético", etc... may sound redundant in this context. I hope this helps, Regards. Fma12 (talk) 22:23, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. That makes sense. Are you familiar with WP:COMMONNAME? It basically says that article titles should be based on the name by which the subject (in this case, the team) is best known, rather than necessarily their official name. I think it might be relevant in this case, but of course it's up to you whether you want to pursue moving those pages. Thanks again. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 00:58, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

new article
Hello Fma12,
Wanted to let you know about an article I created for Cary Burkett, a writer for DC Comics in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In addition, I posted an article for Gary Cohn (comics) a few months ago. Hope all is well with you.
With regards,
Mtminchi08 (talk) 04:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- There is now an article for Ron Randall, an artist who drew Arak, Son of Thunder and The Warlord for DC Comics and the creator of the Trekker character for Dark Horse Comics.
