[edit] New Creeper mini for August 2006(!)

I just did some mostly minor revisions to the "Brave New World" section of this article, and in the process noticed something. One early sentence reads, "It was recently announced that a new 6-issue Creeper mini-series...would begin in August 2006." This is obviously obsolete. It was added on February 24, 2006, by one DrFinger, whose most recently listed contribution is dated April 2, 2007, and whose profile and talk page links show in red, i.e. they don't exist, so asking him/her about it doesn't seem a viable option. Does anybody out there know if this mini came out, came out late, or never came out at all?

One other thing--when I deleted the grammar warning, the illio did disappear from the preview. I was quite surprised when it showed after I clicked "Save", but couldn't take my comment about it out of the edit summary then. Ted Watson 22:15, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm a little slow, but it just occurred to me to check the Grand Comics Database's search engine for "Creeper," and I found that the above was released, beginning with a September 2006 cover date, so I updated the article to reflect that. No more problem here. And that cover I seemed to but actually didn't have a problem with, was from that mini's first issue! How could somebody put that up but not update the text? Oh, well, as I said, nothing to worry about here any more. Ted Watson 19:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Eclipso6.jpg

Image:Eclipso6.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
