User talk:Higher Further Faster
Thanks for all your hard work
[edit]Hi there, glad to see you have an account now. :) I appreciate all the hard work you're doing on the characters. I didn't know any other way to reach you since you have been using multiple IP addresses, but now that you have an account where I can reach you, I wanted to let you know that if you have any characters that have been merged or redirected, but you have reception information for them and want to work on the articles, then please let me know and I can help you with that. I can also help if the article have been deleted completely. BOZ (talk) 02:31, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @BOZ.
- I am so sorry I did not reply to your message sooner, I just noticed it.
- Thank you SO MUCH for your kind words, but we both know you do a much bigger job than me (^_^) If I can help you in any way, I will (despite not being a Wikipedia expert), just tell me !
- Have a nice day ! ;) Higher Further Faster (talk) 13:02, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Restoring old articles
[edit]One more thing, on what I said about restoring articles, I started building User:BOZ/Marvel deletions a few months ago and I am nowhere near finished. Most of these characters will be difficult or impossible to source properly, but if there are any that you can find, say, at least 3 good independent sources for, then I can bring them back. :) I tend to restore character articles anyway when they are appearing in MCU projects because they will get more attention and can be improved. BOZ (talk) 14:32, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- That is very kind of you, thank you very much !
- However, I totally agree with what you just said. It will be challenging to edit some pages before these characters appear within the MCU, due to their lack of media coverage. For now, I will stick to the pages that are already available, but I really hope we can both work theses deleted pages in a near future. ^_^ Higher Further Faster (talk) 15:14, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- It's definitely admirable for you to continue working on existing character articles, as those sure need work and you do some impressive stuff there already. :) If you do come across sources for characters without their own current articles, most of them do have entries on one of the subpages of Lists of Marvel Comics characters so you can always find or start an entry on those lists and add the sources there! That would make a later split of the character to its own article much easier.
- One idea I had is that when I find the time I can see what character articles have tags for notability or needing more sources and make a list of them for you, so that you can see what you can do to improve those. :) BOZ (talk) 04:20, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you very much @BOZ, that is really nice to hear that, but again, a lot of contributors do a much bigger job than me. It is great to know that I can ask for help though. (^_^)
- For now, I will focus on the different articles that have already been created by other contributors (non-Marvel related pages). Like this, I can try to prevent old articles from being deleted, then, I can move on to the pages which will be created once the MCU extends with new characters.
- I really like your idea dealing with a list of sources. However, as you said, the most notable characters already have their own pages I guess we will have to wait for Marvel Studios to help us. :) Higher Further Faster (talk) 16:23, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah, that makes sense. I restored articles like
Scarlet Scarab,Iron Maiden (Marvel Comics), andFrog-Manbased on their MCU appearances and the sources that came with them. :) BOZ (talk) 10:54, 10 October 2022 (UTC)- Understood, thank you very much. :) Higher Further Faster (talk) 12:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
- I forgot about these, but before the Eternals movie came out, I also restored
Ajak, Kingo Sunen,Phastos, andArishem the Judge. :) There are probably others from other projects that I restored, will see what I can find later. BOZ (talk) 14:16, 13 October 2022 (UTC)- Understood, than you, ^_^ Higher Further Faster (talk) 09:45, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- I forgot about these, but before the Eternals movie came out, I also restored
- Understood, thank you very much. :) Higher Further Faster (talk) 12:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah, that makes sense. I restored articles like
- Seeing what you did with the Helicarrier article, I've got to believe that at the very least,
Avengers QuinjetandFantasticarshould have enough sources to maintain them so I went ahead and restored them. :) If you get a chance, see if you can find more! BOZ (talk) 23:09, 9 January 2023 (UTC)- Same thing goes with Atlantis (Marvel Comics), but I did not quite feel confident enough yet to restore Symkaria[1] or Transia[2]. BOZ (talk) 01:43, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Anyway, after those I hope to work more on articles again in the near future. Hope you are doing well! BOZ (talk) 00:43, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi BOZ. I hope you are fine too. Sorry for the lack of work.
- I am sure we can find some sources at some points. ^_^ Higher Further Faster (talk) 07:50, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah no worries. :) You don't have to be sorry, this is all volunteer work, only for when you are available and interested! BOZ (talk) 15:19, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
I hope you are doing well! Comics characters have not been on my radar much lately as I have been working on other projects, but so glad to see you are still pitching in. A user went and redirected a few dozen Marvel character articles over the last couple of days; most of them are likely to stay that way, but there are a few that may have potential, so I will list them here.
First of all, these do have some non-trivial independent sourcing, so they might be more easily challenged:
- Challenger (character) (redirected)
- Jason Macendale (redirected)
- Michael Van Patrick (redirected)
- Slayback (comic book character) (redirected)
- White Tiger (Kasper Cole) (redirected)
These have at least a hint of potential for sourcing if we can add a little more:
And of course, we know that just because an article had no independent sources at all, does not mean that no such sources exist, so if you find the time to go through the full list, just check here for all the articles that were redirected this week: [3] There are definitely a few there that I think should have sources, but I did not include them here because there were already a lot to list...
Let me know if you find anything for any of them and I will add it! At the very least, I will temporarily unredirect, add the source with info, and then restore the redirect for future presentation as I have done before. :) BOZ (talk) 15:10, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, I also hope you are doing well ^_^
- Understood. I will take a look ! Higher Further Faster (talk) 19:16, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- Excellent. :) Anything you see for any of those, let me know! BOZ (talk) 00:33, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- Five more redirected today: [4] BOZ (talk) 01:38, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- Excellent. :) Anything you see for any of those, let me know! BOZ (talk) 00:33, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
I've been slowly working my way through The Encyclopedia of Super-Villains, adding it to all the Marvel characters that appear inside. I was able to restore a number of character articles, although I did not yet bring back any of them that were redirected at AFD. If you find anything more for any of these, that could be a big help!: Aggamon, Angar the Screamer[5], Answer (comics), Blockbuster (Man-Brute), Blue Bullet Crossfire (comics)[6], Cutthroat (comics)[7], Daddy Longlegs (comics), and Death-Stalker so far. BOZ (talk) 17:44, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hi BOZ, regarding The Encyclopedia of Super-Villains, there is a link I found from Oxford University Press. I will try to check it later. Higher Further Faster (talk) 17:35, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- I should have kept up with you on this but I did not, so I wanted to let you know that I have made my way through most of this book and restored quite a few others (some only temporarily, as before, if they were redirected through AFD), so here is a full list from where I left off - if you can improve any of them further then that is only a great thing. :) No rush at all, but if any of them come up for deletion I will let you know of course. Doctor Demonicus[8], Doctor Sun[9], Grappler (comics), Green Goblin (Bart Hamilton), Hangman (Marvel Comics), Kurse (comics),
Leap-Frog (comics), Locksmith (comics), Manslaughter (comics), Maur-Konn, Megatak, Primus (Marvel Comics),Solarr,Space Phantom, Stilt-Man[10], Tatterdemalion, Thermo (comics), Tiboro[11], Trump (Marvel Comics)[12], Tumbler (comics), Tundra (Marvel Comics), Vibro (comics), Water Wizard aka Aqueduct (comics), and Windeagle[13] (see: archive). There might be a few more before I finish, but if there are I will let you know as I . :) BOZ (talk) 16:58, 19 February 2024 (UTC)- I also restored Zaran today, which would be the last of the characters covered in the book, although there is a chapter about villain teams so I will take a look at that next week. :) BOZ (talk) 19:23, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- I finished the book just now. :) While going through the villain groups, I restored the article for Circus of Crime[14], Death Squad (comics)[15], Factor Three, Rocketeers (comics), and Titanic Three in case you have more sources for any of those, or more to restore the redirected ones later. BOZ (talk) 01:57, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

You think you could do the same thing you did on Lord Chaos (Marvel Comics) with Master Order which I just restored? :) BOZ (talk) 02:27, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- I will check today. Higher Further Faster (talk) 10:52, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
Just letting you know that I have been my way through on a new book, "The Supervillain Book: The Evil Side of Comics and Hollywood", and so far I have not restored any old articles, but I did temporarily restore Dragon Man (character)[16] to add the citation. You can see the link to the book there. I'll let you know how my progress goes. :) BOZ (talk) 15:52, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I wanted to try an experiment, so I restored
Stilt-Man. Do you see anything more for him? BOZ (talk) 17:50, 10 April 2024 (UTC)- Excellent work, thank you. :) I'm going to leave that one up, and hopefully no one challenges it. BOZ (talk) 12:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- That book did cover plenty of characters, but almost all of them still have active articles (which is a good thing, of course). I have one more book to go through, which I will start on next week: 500 Comicbook Villains. I will let you know if I am able to restore any character articles with that one. :) BOZ (talk) 06:34, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
OK, I started "500 Comicbook Villains" today, and so far I now have a second source for Angar the Screamer so I restored him - do you see anything more for that one? BOZ (talk) 22:52, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Just noting my progress today, I added the book to Asbestos Man[17] and Boomerang (character)[18] but did not yet feel confident in restoring either. BOZ (talk) 06:57, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- I made some progress today and split Jason Macendale and Jester (Jonathan Powers) back to their own articles in case you have anything for either of them, but left Roderick Kingsley[19], Arnold "Lefty" Donovan[20], Steven Mark Levins[21], Jack O'Lantern (Mad Jack)[22], and Kraven the Hunter (Alyosha Kravinoff)[23] as redirects for now. BOZ (talk) 20:04, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Just noting my progress from late last week, unlike the two I noted above that I split earlier in the week, I did not split Zoltan Drago[24], Larry Cranston[25], Alan Fagan[26], Mysterio (Daniel Berkhart)[27], and Ox (comics)[28] - may do more tonight or maybe tomorrow. :) BOZ (talk) 22:15, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
I recently restored Ravonna in case you have anything more for that one. :) BOZ (talk) 17:22, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for building that one up, it looks great now. :)
Pagon,G'iah (comics), andVarra (comics)appeared in the Secret Invasion television series, in case there is anything to build any of those up more. BOZ (talk) 11:48, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
Notability and sourcing tags
[edit]So to better illustrate what I was talking about earlier, finding already existing character articles with notability tags, I went through this page and started looking for Marvel characters listed there, so I found for starters Adrienne Frost, Andromeda (Marvel Comics), and Azazel (Marvel Comics) under "A", so of course there will be a bunch more. You may be able to source some of them properly, or maybe none, and hopefully eventually someone else can come along and fix them? You can always do something similar as how you did on Barney Barton, make the edits and then note on the talk page that you believe you have fixed the issue, and then if no one objects after a while I think the tag can just be removed. In that example, there were 0 independent sources to start with, and you added a lot, so that sort of thing is critical. :) BOZ (talk) 17:08, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @BOZ, I am sorry I did not answer to your message immediately.
- Okay, so, I am going to find as much sources as I can, but I can not promise anything, to be honest. But I will do my best. I will try to work on one page at a time.
- Thank you for the little list of characters you just gave me, and for the links. :) Higher Further Faster (talk) 18:34, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- No worries, I always say do what you can when you can. :) BOZ (talk) 18:35, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if you wanted to continue going through the notability tagged articles, but in case you are willing, I went through the "B" articles and that would be Baron Von Blitzschlag,
Barracuda (Marvel Comics), and Bluebird (Marvel Comics). Most of them do have other media appearances, so I've got to figure sources are out there. I'd say you did pretty good with the "A" articles, adding sourcing to more of them than not. BOZ (talk) 02:46, 24 October 2022 (UTC)- I have to admit that these last few days I was not really productive, but yes, I definitely want to keep working on these pages.
- I will check them out. :) Higher Further Faster (talk) 16:04, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
Good work on Hepzibah! What you found there was enough to get the editor to remove one of the many notability tags they have added recently... it can be done, although it's not always easy. :) BOZ (talk) 04:22, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
Belasco (Marvel Comics) was simply redirected for notability concerns, but I believe the sources may exist - do you see anything more for that one? BOZ (talk) 21:57, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Same user also redirected Bella Donna (comics), which I restored and suspect may also have some sources? BOZ (talk) 00:23, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
Articles for deletion
[edit]I don't think the Mac Gargan article is in any real danger, but if you see anything that could help build it up then that should make sure it stays around for the long haul. :) BOZ (talk) 19:33, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, so I tried to find some sources, but I do now know if it will be enough. Higher Further Faster (talk) 20:41, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- I also think there is no reason for this article to be deleted. Of course, if I see anything, I will add something. :) Higher Further Faster (talk) 17:21, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- Do you see anything for Base (character) from Marvel UK? If not, I may merge him. BOZ (talk) 14:48, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- I looked for sources on the internet, but I did not find anything. The character seems to be unknown for now. Higher Further Faster (talk) 22:37, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- Do you see anything for Base (character) from Marvel UK? If not, I may merge him. BOZ (talk) 14:48, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi there! :) Just wondering if you see anything for
Janice Lincoln? BOZ (talk) 15:56, 4 November 2022 (UTC)- Hi BOZ, I am so sorry I did not answer to your question sooner, my computer was malfunctioning for several days, so I did not edit anything.
- I will check this page right away. Higher Further Faster (talk) 22:04, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
- Excellent finds! Glad to see you back up and running. BOZ (talk) 00:48, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
- Two other Marvel character articles up for merge, in case you see any sources for either: Hugin and Munin (characters) and
Coal Tiger. BOZ (talk) 01:33, 8 November 2022 (UTC) - Not a character but still important in Marvel lore, do you see anything that can be added to Subterranea (comics)? BOZ (talk) 20:02, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- Sure, I will look. Higher Further Faster (talk) 19:01, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
- I did not find a lot of sources to be honest. Higher Further Faster (talk) 19:46, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
- Sure, I will look. Higher Further Faster (talk) 19:01, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
- Do you see anything for Ismael Ortega and
District X? BOZ (talk) 13:25, 17 November 2022 (UTC)- I looked for both but did not find a lot of important secondary sources. Higher Further Faster (talk) 16:24, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- Nothing much about Ortega, sadly. Higher Further Faster (talk) 10:27, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Do you see anything for Vault (Marvel Comics)? BOZ (talk) 19:29, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, I tried to find some sources, but I did not see anything that can really help. Higher Further Faster (talk) 19:43, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi there, I hope you are doing well! If you're able, do you see anything for Matador (Marvel Comics), Jazinda and Southpaw (comics)? BOZ (talk) 19:43, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Those three were redirected earlier today, but if you do find sources for them I can of course bring them back. BOZ (talk) 16:11, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Understood. :) Higher Further Faster (talk) 16:19, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Those three were redirected earlier today, but if you do find sources for them I can of course bring them back. BOZ (talk) 16:11, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Got anything for
Dragon Man (character)? BOZ (talk) 16:09, 26 February 2023 (UTC)- I hope we can keep the page, but I do not know what other contributors will do. Higher Further Faster (talk) 11:23, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, I did not find more sources. Higher Further Faster (talk) 10:27, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- You did your best, we will win some and lose some, and with some of the ones we lose we may have an opportunity to bring them back later, potentially boosted by what you add now. :) Don't be discouraged, I've brought back many deleted articles on my own and with the help of others. Two good recent examples are Lexicon (card game) which was deleted and is going to appear on the main page soon for DYK, and another is Infinite Conflict which was deleted at AFD but just today passed AFC. Don't give up! :)
- As for a change in approach, I like your conversion of accolades on Firestar into prose for example [29] and I think that would be a good approach going forward. Just listing rankings doesn't say a lot about the character (other than, in my mind, they were notable by being noted) but saying something like "CBR ranked this character #3 because of their interesting personality" actually does speak a little towards why people like a character. BOZ (talk) 19:03, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Do you see anything for Superia? BOZ (talk) 16:38, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, I mainly found sources related to a group of characters named "Femizons" she belonged to. She does not seem to be a very important character, but I will keep looking for references that could be used. Higher Further Faster (talk) 20:37, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Sounds good. Anything worthwhile to add to the Femizons article? BOZ (talk) 01:01, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Do you see anything for Brute (Reed Richards)? BOZ (talk) 13:57, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- I found some sources, but not enough to make sure the article can avoid deletion, I am afraid. Higher Further Faster (talk) 13:26, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- I always say add what you can, and see what happens. :) BOZ (talk) 17:51, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- I found some sources, but not enough to make sure the article can avoid deletion, I am afraid. Higher Further Faster (talk) 13:26, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- How about for
Dark Beast? BOZ (talk) 15:26, 12 August 2023 (UTC) - That one, and also Spirit of '76 (Marvel Comics)? BOZ (talk) 07:05, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- I think Spirit of '76 (Marvel Comics) will be deleted no matter what. However, I believe Dark Beast has enough sources. But that will depend what other contributors think through the deletion discussion page. Higher Further Faster (talk) 12:26, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Maybe, but I think it would be more likely to be merged rather than deleted, probably the same for both articles. At the very least, anything you found could be used in a merge and then if the topic is found to be notable in the future we will have some groundwork. :) That's why I say any little bit helps! BOZ (talk) 18:49, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

A dormant user woke up suddenly and nominated 17 articles (so far) for AFD, in case you have anything for any of them: Boomerang (character), Rocket Racer, Ringer (comics), Razorback (character), Stilt-Man, Burglar (character), Crime Master, Bloodshed (character), Beetle (comics), Chameleon (character), Roderick Kingsley, Mac Gargan, Abner Jenkins, Gibbon (character), Ox (comics). BOZ (talk) 12:20, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, I just saw it. They plan to nominate 1-2 articles per day, but I guess they do not have the time to search for sources themselves before nominating these articles...
- I will look for sources for some of these pages but this is ridiculous. Higher Further Faster (talk) 18:58, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- I worked on bit on Boomerang, hopefully, the article will not be deleted. Higher Further Faster (talk) 20:58, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- Tell me about it, I agree it's too many for one person to work on, especially when the nominator plans to continue daily. Do what you can, I say. Remember that the trick at AFD is not to convince the nominator that the article is worth keeping (although I have seen this happen), but to convince potential voters that the article is worth keeping, which is what I always keep in mind. Any of these that you work on, I think will have a much better chance of surviving. BOZ (talk) 21:48, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- Updating on this situation; several of them have been closed as "merge", although I would say that we have a certain indeterminate window of time, if any sources can be found, to add them to the article and petition either the closing admin and/or deletion review to have the close relisted or overturned. I would say that this would be especially true of Abner Jenkins, as he had a starring role in Thunderbolts for many years; it could also be true of Gibbon (character) who went from obscure to more regular use in recent years. Rocket Racer, Ringer (comics), Stilt-Man, Crime Master, and Roderick Kingsley were likewise closed as merge so they will be ultimately merged unless sources are found.
- Razorback (character), Bloodshed (character), and Ox (comics) have been relisted and remain at AFD for another week.
- Mac Gargan was closed as keep, in large part because of the work you put into it. :) Burglar was likewise closed as keep, as the nominator withdrew the nomination.
- Boomerang, Beetle, and Chameleon were also relisted and remain at AFD for another week, but I am hopeful that the work you put into those will allow them to be closed as keep, but even if they ultimately go to merge at least they are safe from full deletion. :) Thank you once again for your efforts and work! BOZ (talk) 14:02, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hello BOZ,
- I am so sorry I missed the deadline to work on Abner Jenkins. I will see what I can do for some of these articles though. Higher Further Faster (talk) 08:14, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- No worries, Abner Jenkins is not gone yet, and once it does get redirected I suspect will not be gone forever; the merge has not been completed yet, so as I outlined above it can still be worked on in the meantime. Even after an article is merged, you can add sources on its talk page using the Template:Redideas. I forgot to mention this so far but right now I'm running a test for Template:Refideas editnotice to appear on any articles which use that template on the talk page and I hope for this to go live on all articles in about a week. The benefit of this is that you can accumulate sources for redirected articles and save them up for a time when you honestly believe that it can be restored. You may find that useful for character articles, and anything else you want to work on? You can even use it now for existing articles whenever you are not sure how to incorporate a source and think someone else could use it or even save it for later for yourself. For a sample of how that would look, click "edit" on Call of Cthulhu (role-playing game) to see the template, and then take a look at its talk page. BOZ (talk) 17:45, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Does anything come up for Ox (comics) as a member of the Enforcers? BOZ (talk) 17:45, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi BOZ,
- I am sorry I did not reply sooner.
- Before you asked me that question, I actually checked almost all pages the nominator wanted to delete, and started to work one several of them several weeks ago.
- I did not add anything on Ox (comics) in the first place because I did not find something helpful, unfortunately. Higher Further Faster (talk) 09:25, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your hard work on these, and all the other pages you worked on. It was a ridiculous amount of articles to have to go through and I'm glad you did what you could, where you could, and that the nominator has apparently given up on their desire to continue this activity. You helped save Mac Gargan and Chameleon, and Boomerang may still be pulled out. That alone is great work. Hopefully no one else tries anything like this again! BOZ (talk) 13:18, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- I worked on bit on Boomerang, hopefully, the article will not be deleted. Higher Further Faster (talk) 20:58, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi there! :) Do you see anything more for Asbestos Man and Sons of the Serpent? BOZ (talk) 23:28, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- Argh, I forgot to bring this one up but I noticed the AFD for Death-Throws late and it was just closed as "merge". I don't know if there would be sources to rival the kind you found for Sons of the Serpent, but if they do exist then a deletion decision can always be challenged even if it comes after the fact. BOZ (talk) 01:03, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- With the Death-Throws now set to be merged, any article that redirects there must be redirected to their respectful List of Marvel Comics characters page like what was done with the members of the Circus of Crime when it's AFD ended with merge. @BOZ and @Higher Further Faster, the person who caused the mass-AFDs was @Industrial Insect: who once withdrew the nomination for Burglar before nominating it again. I just wanted to let you two know that. Rtkat3 (talk) 03:11, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I had closed the AfD not because I had changed my stance, but because I obviously was not in the right headspace to participate and needed a break. Industrial Insect (talk) 16:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

- Hello BOZ,
- Goodness, I am so sorry I did not reply sooner. I did not see your messages regarding Death-Throws. However, I do not see enough reliable sources to prevent the article from being merged.
- Regarding Asbestos Man, I did work on that article a long time ago, and added everything I could.
- I did not know The Burglar was nominated though. :( Higher Further Faster (talk) 17:50, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, I knew you already looked at Asbestos Man, and I noticed the Death-Throws discussion late myself, so it's all good. Merge is not the worst fate ever because it's a lot easier to bring an article back once sources are found. Burglar was part of that mass of nominations back in October; if you do have some good sources for that or any other article that gets merged (or even deleted) because of an AFD, it's not the end of the road. BOZ (talk) 20:04, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- I wasn't going to try to ask you to rescue
Features of the Marvel Universe, since that would be a huge project for any one person, but if you do happen to come across any sources that would enhance it that would be a wonderful thing. BOZ (talk) 17:03, 20 January 2024 (UTC)- Thanks for your excellent work on that page! I copied many of your sources to the corresponding existing articles; I also did this with the redirected Attilan:[30] and I can always restore that page if we find more sources later. :) BOZ (talk) 18:09, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks again for the work you put into that page; I had the opportunity to add your citations to existing articles, and to add them to redirected articles in hopes of restoring some of them one day as more sources accumulate. :) BOZ (talk) 17:42, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Do you see anything more for Orrgo? BOZ (talk) 21:26, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi BOZ,
- Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, there are not many sources that can be used for this article. They barely mention the character, as Orrgo is relatively unknown. Higher Further Faster (talk) 15:16, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- OK, thanks for checking! BOZ (talk) 16:16, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Probably a long shot, but do you have anything for Gorr the Golden Gorilla? BOZ (talk) 22:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi BOZ ! I tried to add everything I found but I doubt that will really help. Higher Further Faster (talk) 10:27, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- I appreciate it! :) BOZ (talk) 11:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Finding accolades
[edit]I talked previously about restoring articles when sources are found, and that is more of a down-the-road project, but I was reusing some of the sources you found for Eternals characters, and I saw that Interloper (comics) and Kronos (comics) both had a couple of sources so I added them and restored them now. If you see anything more for them then I think I would want to keep them around, but otherwise I will restore the redirects and save them for later. :) BOZ (talk) 17:11, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- Understood. Thank you. :) Higher Further Faster (talk) 18:13, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- I'm going to find some free time in the upcoming evenings to look at more of those list articles (listicles) you have added and see what other characters I can add them to! :) BOZ (talk) 20:49, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry I did not respond immediately, I was working on Iceman's page.
- Understood. :) Higher Further Faster (talk) 21:27, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
- I did a bit of this today, using the sources you added for Achebe. I also started several new articles, including
White Wolf (comics),Nakia (comics), Tetu (comics),Zenzi (comics), and T'Channa, who all had at least two sources. They can always be merged somewhere if anyone objects and no other sources can be found, but starting them as stubs at least creates an opportunity for development. :) BOZ (talk) 19:06, 22 October 2022 (UTC)- Wow, you did a great job. :)
- I doubt anyone will delete some of these pages. For instance, Nakia seems to be really notable. Higher Further Faster (talk) 18:19, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- I did a bit more today, using the sources you added for Azazel. It wasn't quite enough to bring back Sugar Man[31] or Margali Szardos[32] but I'm sure those will come sooner or later. :) BOZ (talk) 16:58, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- I did a bit of this today, using the sources you added for Achebe. I also started several new articles, including
- I did more today, using the sources you added for Ares, and was able to restore Hippolyta (Marvel Comics), create
Nyx (Marvel Comics), and restore Hera (Marvel Comics) and Neptune (Marvel Comics), but it wasn't enough to bring back Gaea, Artemis, Apollo, Bloodwraith, or a few others that I created redirects for. Hippolyta in particular appeared in Fearless Defenders so that may have generated additional sources for her? BOZ (talk) 00:59, 10 November 2022 (UTC)- Yes, I saw that you did edit on many pages. Thank you very much ! Higher Further Faster (talk) 01:00, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
- I went through one more list that you used on the Nyx article, it wasn't enough to bring back Set or Atum, or create one for One Below All, but I will bring them back if we find more. :) BOZ (talk) 23:44, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
- Understood. ^_^
- I also did not find enough sources for One Below All. Higher Further Faster (talk) 21:36, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hey hey! :) Of course you noticed I was hard at work again today, this time I went through the sources on Baron Blood and moreso on Janice Lincoln. I created several new redirects, and added more to Menace (Marvel Comics), Scorpia (comics), Blizzard (Donnie Gill), and Nocturne (Angela Cairn), so hopefully we can find more to bring some of those back one day. :) BOZ (talk) 21:10, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I saw you were working super hard ^_^ That is awesome.
- But do not forget to rest, you work on so many projects at the same time ! Higher Further Faster (talk) 21:20, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- You got it, of course. :) I also brought back
Varnaewith that other vampire list you found! BOZ (talk) 21:35, 26 November 2022 (UTC)- Great^^
- I always try to search for some sources for the characters you ask, but I do not always find something. If I see anything interesting, I will provide what I can. Higher Further Faster (talk) 21:58, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- You got it, of course. :) I also brought back
- I did more today using the sources from the White Rabbit article, but they were unfortunately not enough to restore Leap-Frog (comics)[33], Videoman[34], or Iguana (comics)[35]. I might have just enough to talk about bringing back Screwball (comics), but her article was deleted at AFD so I would need to make sure I had substantial sources to make that worthwhile, and then I could get her article restored as maybe a draft or something before trying truly to bring it back. BOZ (talk) 03:14, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- To follow up on what I did yesterday, I had that last article moved to Draft:Screwball (comics) so that I can try to work on it and get it back into article space. Do you have anything more for her? BOZ (talk) 22:35, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi BOZ, sorry for not answering sooner. I took a break from Wikipedia due to health issues. I am going to look for sources. Higher Further Faster (talk) 17:38, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- Oh no! I hope you are doing better. I wanted to mention that I used the sources you added to Abigail Brand this past week, all of which were to existing articles this time. :) BOZ (talk) 18:00, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you. ^_^ Higher Further Faster (talk) 18:45, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- If it means anything, I think that successfully getting Screwball (character) back into article space yesterday shows the potential for efforts on trying to get articles restored by finding sources for them. :) BOZ (talk) 13:31, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you very much.
- I tried to find more content to add to this page, but Screwball does not seem very famous at the moment.

- I used the Big Hero 6 source that you added to GoGo Tomago, as well as the source you added to Monica Rappaccini and from Bob Agent of Hydra. No new articles created nor old ones brought back, but we'll see what I do next. ;) BOZ (talk) 01:57, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Glad to hear it. ^_^ Higher Further Faster (talk) 20:20, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- I went through the sources you added to the articles for Lorna the Jungle Queen a few days ago, and Zenzi and Nakia today, as well as Makkari and was able to add a little to Moses Magnum[36], Black Racer (Marvel Comics)[37], and Runner (comics)[38] although not enough yet to restore them completely. BOZ (talk) 23:11, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- I hope we will find enough sources one day. Higher Further Faster (talk) 20:09, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'm working my way through the sources on Siryn. The first one had 100 characters and I need a break. :) I added it to Joseph (comics)[39], Copycat (Marvel Comics)[40], Sway (comics)[41], Petra (comics)[42], Widget (Marvel Comics)[43], Mondo (comics)[44], Barnell Bohusk[45], Danger (comics)[46], and Artie Maddicks[47] but of course that alone is not enough to restore any of those; I'll come back and look at the rest of those sources and I may find enough for some of them, we'll see. :) BOZ (talk) 21:08, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Finished with Siryn, may or may not do a little more tomorrow. I added a little to Aliyah Bishop[48] for one, but again not enough to restore. BOZ (talk) 06:06, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Understood.^^ Higher Further Faster (talk) 17:01, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Just curious, are there any Marvel characters that you know for sure you've seen sources for, but they don't currently have their own articles? Don't be afraid to make a long list, I'll see what I can do. :) BOZ (talk) 01:17, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hi BOZ, (^_^)
- I think I may have enough sources for an article dealing with Ripley Ryan. But since even articles like Lylla get nominated for deletion, I am not sure this is a good idea.
- I feel like some users on Wikipedia want to delete as much articles as possible, even with around 40 sources. Higher Further Faster (talk) 18:04, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- I hear you. I created a redirect for now. A trick I use, and which you may want to adopt, is that when I find a good source but I don't feel I have enough to actually restore an article, I temporarily restore the article, add the source, and redirect it again. That way, I or anyone else can always come back to it later all that much easier because I built a better foundation for the future. :) BOZ (talk) 23:58, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- I created a draft on the character, hopefully this will work. Higher Further Faster (talk) 22:33, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Pages lacking primary/secondary sources
[edit]Hi @BOZ. :)
Following your advice, I am working on the characters whose first name begins with the letter "A." However, for some of these characters, such as Alyssa Moy and Agent X, I really struggle to find enough sources. Thus, a lot of information across some of these pages cannot be verified, and I cannot create a proper "Reception" section, which makes me think some of these characters may not be notable (yet).
So, I was wondering if you think Wikipedia should keep these pages or not.
PS: I am writing on my Talk page since yours has more than 100 messages. I hope it does not bother you. Higher Further Faster (talk) 21:46, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for asking me. :) My opinion on this will differ from lots of other people; many would say that articles like that should be merged to character lists, or deleted outright. Once upon a time, over a decade ago, I created more than my fair share of character articles over a decade ago that had no independent sources, and while some of those were subsequently sourced properly, most of them have been merged and some deleted. I no longer create or restore articles in that sort of condition for that reason. My opinion as an "eventualist" is that it is better to leave these already existing but poorly sourced articles in place, in hopes that someone will eventually be able to find proper sources for them, or that sources will be published sooner or later to source them properly. You've definitely vastly improved more than a few articles, which had little or no independent sources beforehand, so it can definitely be done. :) My feeling is that someday someone else may find more sources when you couldn't find them now, so just let them alone - if they really can't be sourced, then someone else will eventually merge or delete them. BOZ (talk) 23:09, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @BOZ. :)
- I totally understand what you mean. Especially if you worked on these pages several months/years ago despite the lack of media coverage on these pages, which must have been very chalenging.
- I really hope we will be able to provide some sources at some point. If I can, I will.
- PS: "You've definitely vastly improved more than a few articles, which had little or no independent sources beforehand, so it can definitely be done." Well let us not exaggerate. :) Higher Further Faster (talk) 16:34, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Accolades
[edit]Hello, I'd like to discus some of the recent edits we've both made on the Sabra page. I'd like to start off by saying, that your last message was really troubling and hurt me quite a bit, implying a kind of bigotry and malice that I totally condemn. I understand the defensiveness, antisemitism is very real and I imagine the Sabra page is probably one that faces a good deal of vandalism.
Explaining my viewpoint:
I visited the Sabra page because she is to feature in the upcoming Captain America film. I saw, what I believed to be unencyclopedic information in the form of listicle accolades fluffing her page. I delete it, like any responsible user would. And then a prolific editor, you, comes along and reinserts the unencyclopedic material. You cite me a style guide that seemingly contradicts your own edits. Then, I look at your page, see you're a dedicated editor of many comic book character pages. And sure enough, when I go to look, on almost every page you've edited is this same, unencyclopedic material. I'm not petty. I wasn't going to get into a flame war with a dedicated Wikipedia user and delete scores of your work, only for you to immediately undo them. That would be unproductive for both of us.
I'd like to reiterate that the use of these types of listicles on a Wikipedia page is unencyclopedic. Someone looking up Captain America isn't going to care that in 2018 CBR.com ranked Steve Rogers' Captain America persona 1st in their "20 Versions Of Captain America Ranked Worst To Best" list. CBR.com literally puts out 5 Marvel comic listicles a day. These don't meet the requirements set forth by the style guide. This isn't relevant, helpful, or constructive information. Listicles are not accolades. Anyone can make a listicle at any time. I appreciate your efforts to improve the page, but I believe that the inclusion of listicles and similar content is not appropriate for a Wikipedia page. I understand that you have dedicated a lot of time to editing these pages, but I think that it's important to ensure that the information we include is relevant, helpful, and constructive for all readers.
I've deleted the listicles from Sabra's page once again. I hope that we can work together to find more appropriate ways to present information about Sabra that are helpful and informative for a wide range of readers. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A Little Alien (talk • contribs) 02:57, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hello,
- My purpose was not to hurt anyone's feelings. I apologize for my lack of politeness.
- These rankings were not my idea in the first place. They were already there on several pages for years, although displayed as paragraphs (ex. IGN's rankings). I just continued the work done by other users. I did not invent the concept at all.
- I turned the list into a paragraph and deleted the rest, in order to compromise. Now, instead of having a list, we have a paragraph providing journalists' opinions on the character. Higher Further Faster (talk) 16:44, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
re: Miracleman
[edit]The collected editions make more sense on the pages of the associated publications IMHO rather than on the page of the character, who isn't in the Young Marvelman collected editions. Likewise reception about the comic rather than the character has also been migrated to the main Miracleman page. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 18:54, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I note that you added an external link to IMDb on this article, which is fine. However, you don't seem to be aware that there are specific templates for doing that, namely {{IMDb title}} and {{IMDb name}}.

While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:05, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Diannaa,
- I am sorry but I am not sure I understand what you are talking about, as I was not even aware that there was a The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (season 1) article, to be completely honest. I do not have an interest in The Lord of the Rings franchise. Could you please tell me what you are referring to ? Because on National Treasure: Edge of History, and on many articles, I mainly edit "Reception."
- If you are talking about Whip Media's TV Time, I check Media Play News as a source every week, and copy the sentences from previous articles I have been editing all along. If you are talking about IMDb's ReFrame Stamp, I copied it directly from Hawkeye (but I added this information in the first place), although another user (probably Favre1fan93) completely re-wrote what I added and phrased it better than I did.
- Other than that, I genuinely (and respectfully) do not know what you mean. Higher Further Faster (talk) 16:08, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- In this edit in the Accolades section was flagged as being copied from somewhere. I thought it was copied from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (season 1). But I see that the same or similar text is now present in at least eighteen articles, including Young Sheldon, La Brea (TV series), The Thing About Pam, and more. It's a good idea when copying within Wikipedia to note that the content is copied and where you got it from (even if you are the original author), so as to avoid receiving irrelevant reports such as this one. Sorry for the mistake. — Diannaa (talk) 16:19, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, no need to be sorry, I did not mention where I got this information from in the first place. Thank you for reminding me of that rule. Higher Further Faster (talk) 16:39, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Ophelia Sarkissian (Modern).webp. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука13 18:05, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

[edit]My congratulations on some of the articles that you managed to get started. If by chance you have the time, I was wondering if you would be able to find reliable sources to help establish articles for Spider-Boy and Orchis which are currenrly redirects with the former I listed in the edit summary as "Creating a redirect for now" due to his comic series that came out this week. I'm just making some suggestions here. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:08, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Rtkat3, sorry for the (very) late reply, and thank you for your message.
- I added some sources regarding Spider-Boy. For now, there are not enough sources to build an article. However, I am sure there will be in a near future, and I will try to create an article if nobody creates one before me. Higher Further Faster (talk) 10:12, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Spider-Boy-related
[edit]Hi. I had noticed that you started a draft for Spider-Boy (Bailey Brigs). I am curious on why you titled it that instead of "Draft:Spider-Boy (Marvel Comics)". I'm just asking here. Outside of that, the draft looks good so far. --Rtkat3 (talk) 01:38, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Rtkat3, thank you for your message.
- Regarding the title of this article, I genuinely did not know how to call it. A few characters have used the codename of Spider-Boy, so, I thought in case someone creates an article dealing with another superhero called Spider-Boy, there would not be a confusion between these characters.
- I do not know if my reply makes sense to you. Nonetheless, I am 100% fine with Spider-Boy (Marvel Comics) as a title. I have no problem with someone changing the title (if it is possible) or adding whatever they want on this draft. Higher Further Faster (talk) 09:44, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- The only other Spider-Boy I know of is of Amalgam Comics where that Spider-Boy is a combination of known clones Ben Reilly and Superboy and whose link is a redirect to List of Amalgam Comics characters ever since I had established a Spider-Boy disambiguation page. I checked the Marvel Fandom and there is no other characters named Spider-Boy outside of them. If one does pop up that is much different from Bailey Briggs, that could be a sub-header like how they have the different pages for those who have went by the name Scarlet Spider. I just wanted to let you know that. Rtkat3 (talk) 16:51, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Spider-Boy-related (2024 version)
[edit]Hi. I am just checking in with you. I was wondering what you think of the draft for Spider-Boy so far after I had added to his current history and his rogues gallery. Do you think it has enough sources to be submitted for AFC review like your other page creations? Or should we wait for mour sources tied in with the upcoming issues. I'm just asking here. --Rtkat3 (talk) 02:55, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- -Hello Rtkat3,
- I am sorry I took so long to respond to you.
- Unfortunately, I feel like more reliable sources will be needed for the article to be moved. I would say a total of 40-50 might be enough. A few editors have proposed removing several Marvel-related articles, Spider-Boy would likely be their next target.
- Rest assured I am checking every now and then to see if new reliable sources can be used. Nonetheless, if you believe the article is good enough, you can submit it for AFC. No problem.
- -"I'm just asking here" : I know I do not respond immediately, but you can message me, no problem here. ^^ Higher Further Faster (talk) 18:05, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- If you find any other reliable sources as more issues come out as well as any that tie into his appearances in "The Superior Spider-Man" and "Gang War", then you can make use of those sources on the draft. In the meantime, I was able to add what I know about Killionaire in the rogues gallery section and bring up his spider-talk that was in the recent issue. Rtkat3 (talk) 20:16, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Spider-Boy-related (2024 version) 2
[edit]Here is a follow-up on a previous message. The recent information in the last Spider-Boy comic did help improve the Spider-Boy draft and my redirect for Madame Monstrosity. We have one more issue to go of the current arc before the later issues with the upcoming issue involving the appearance of both Spider-Men, Squirrel Girl, Captain America, and Toy Soldier (who was reverse-engineered from the Super-Adaptoid technology). Then we can see if the draft is ready for AFC. Right? --Rtkat3 (talk) 01:10, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
