Assistance for Michael Myers

Hi everyone,

Michael Myers (Halloween) is under GA review at the moment. Does anyone have some time to go over to help address some of the issues with the page, as mentioned in the GAR on the talk page? I'm very swamped in real life and don't have the time to spend to go through the page and clean up some of the irrelevance that has crept in, as well as expand on some sections (e.g., reception). So, I'm hoping some film/horror enthusiasts, or just some willing editors with more time, can help out. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Article dispute

Hello! I was wondering if I could get some help. I spent the last two weeks editing Princess Leia, but another user feels that I've drastically altered the page in a negative way. They have restored the page to a previous version that doesn't contain any of my edits. You can view their criticism here. I was wondering if there are any experts at writing about fictional characters who would be interested in taking a look at our dispute and offering insight. Thanks!

Restructuring of Transformers character articles

Taking a look at the articles for some of the Transformers franchise, it's obvious that all of them have pretty big issues, being primarily just biographies of all the various iterations of a given character that exist across the Transformers media; films, cartoons, comics, games, etc. No information on these characters in terms of their creation, development in given media, or a critical response to these characters or their popularity. Clearly, a restructuring is needed for all these pages. My question is this. Which format should be followed?

The problem with the Transformers franchise is that it is a multi-media and multi-continuity franchise. I did consider something akin to the Iron Man or Captain America articles. Both of these characters, as with many others from Marvel/DC, have appeared in various continuities, in "what-if" comics and non-comics media. With such characters, despite their various incarnations, the articles themselves are always about the MAIN version of the character. Earth-616 for Marvel, the main universe for DC; whether thats Earth-Two, One, New, or Prime.

But one issue with that is that unlike characters from the Big Two where you can argue that the mainstream comics version of the characters is the main one, Transformers doesn't really have a truly "main" universe. Would it be where the characters first showed up? Whether it's the 80s cartoon, the movies, comics, or something else? To "solve" this problem, I did consider the character pages from the Neon Genesis Evangelion and Fate/stay night franchises. In pages like Kaworu Nagisa or Asuka Langley Soryu for example, the "Conception" and "Reception" sections does in a way focus on their representation in the series, but do also include some info on other appearances.

However, the issue with following that approach is deciding on which of the various films, cartoons, comics, and games to include in things like "Development", "Reception", and "Popularity"; and, of course, the "Biography" section. So, any thoughts on how the character pages of a highly significant franchise - with this being a problem across character pages of the entire franchise - should be improved upon?

Proposed deletion of John Sheppard (Stargate)

The article John Sheppard (Stargate) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Consists of naught but plot summary, without a single reliable secondary source, for its entire 19.24-year history.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 04:05, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
