I am again deleting many of your tiny pages that refer to aliases or real names. These are repetitive, add nothing new, and should be explained in the MAIN ENTRY without links. This is a site to chronicle new stories - NOT to make a link and an entry for every tiny bit of minutia.--[[User:MatterEaterLad|MatterEaterLad]] 01:15, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

For now, I am functioning as an editor for Supermanica. That may change, but for now, as I have been a contributor for many years, please follow my judgment in editorial matters. It is not for nothing, it is to follow format established for a long time. This is getting tedious. --[[User:MatterEaterLad|MatterEaterLad]] 03:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I think we need to have an entry on Sunburst.  Superboy did encounter him in I believe 3 consecutive issues in New Adventures of Superboy.  I think it is necessary to include him. --[[User:Manomight1974|Manomight1974]]

Please do not use so many huge pics in such a small entry and try not to upload large images. If it looks too big on my 22 inch monitor then something is wrong. --[[User:Super Monkey|Super Monkey]] 23:20, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how big your display is, but other people here have the same issue, for example Mattereaterlad's pics tend to be way too small :) Other post extremely low res pics because they do not have proper editing programs. At least I can work with big pics ;) I still rather I didn't have to. Look at the entry now, I think it looks a lot better now, IMHO.--[[User:Super Monkey|Super Monkey]] 23:30, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

It does indeed look good now, but don't go and get a swelled head from the compliment :) This was my first attempt at uploading images, so I'm again sorry for the issues it caused.  I'll try not to do that again, but if I do, even though I know you don't like it, I know you'll be there to watch my back.

I would like to add information to the Bruce Wayne entry regarding a story that appeared in the Superboy Spectacular special from 1980 (I think that was the year), but I have no idea how to refer to the issue at the end of the entry.  I know the date and name of the story, but I do not know what abbreviation to use to refer to the issue (i.e., using "NSB" to refer to the New Adventures of Superboy). Does anyone have a clue as to what we should call it?  --[[User:Manomight1974|Manomight1974]] 10:34 pm, 8 October 2009 (EST)

Hi. I think that the title should just be spelled out because we don't have an established abbreviation for Superboy Spectacular. If you do choose to abbreviate it, I would suggest "SB Spec".

It's good context wise, we always need more Bronze stuff. However you have to go back make all in the present tense rather than the past tense.

For example, instead of: Joining a travelling carnival, her travels soon enough brought her to Smallville, where she first encountered Superboy.

I think we need to add a separate section for Supergirl, similar to tthe one we have for Superboy (Superboy Era). This would enable us to differentiate things in the Silver and Bronze ages between the two Kryptonian cousins.  --[[User:Manomight1974|Manomight1974]] 11:22 pm, 4 April 2010 (EST)

LOL, Super Monkey adds pictures that are way too big, with no consideration for people who have dial-up or use laptops. I use a laptop at home, and while I have a cable connection, I optimize images for faster loading and so not to take up so much server space. Since I don't pay for server strorage, I try to keep it in mind. Another thing to think about is balance, a picture similar in size to the text makes the pages look better. --[[User:MatterEaterLad|MatterEaterLad]] 00:13, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Would it be possible for me to create the Supergirl category, or does a category need to be created by one of the EIC's?  --[[User:Manomight1974|Manomight1974]] 10:17 pm, 5 April 2010 (EST)

Please respond to talk pages on the new entries. They are how we communicate. --MatterEaterLad 23:01, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


Please do not add entries like II or III to names, they aren't names that appear in the comics. Explanations should not be used in entries either, the stories can only be said to conflict or possibly attributed to realities based on content. Changing a name from "Ardora" to "Ardora of Lexor" is not necessary and creates too many redirects. While it is possible to change EVERY name to the name plus the planet they come from, it would not be a good idea at all. Please look around to see how these things are handled before implementing, especially in large numbers.

When in doubt, use TALK pages rather than just going ahead and doing it. Also, we try to use links in articles rather than REDIRECTS on Supermanica. But, aside from edits or brand new entries, please, please, PLEASE do not decide on new names or categories and introduce them in mass. --MatterEaterLad 11:16, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


Please use Categories and you must list the issues where the entries appeared in.

Your Jur-Ll entry was excellent, nice and detailed with sources and everything, keep it up :) --Super Monkey 19:34, 1 Nov 2005 (EST)


Mano, I notice that you are editing pages to alter the tense of the entries. Since the goal of Supermanica is to chronicle characters who, in the canonical sources, are still very much alive, entries are generally written in the present tense, following the example of The Great Superman Book. Unless the subjects are shown to have unequivocally died at some point in the chronicles, their actions should not be referred to in the past tense.

Thus, the Guardian "wears" yellow gloves, etc. He "is" encountered, described, etc. --Telle 11:49, 25 Nov 2005 (EST)
