[edit] Summarize?

I have added bibliographical information that includes short summaries. Some comic book character pages such as Spider-man and Hulk have bibliographies without summaries in a "Bibliography" section at the end, while others have plot summary information with limited bibliographic information in a section titled "Publication History". Given the information I have added, which of the above two configurations would be more consistent with other comic book character pages? Mainehaven 20:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

After receiving direction at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Comics regarding the above question, I have begun editing the article to conform to Wikiproject Comics exemplars. Next step will be to edit the "Fictional character biography" to read as a biography rather than a list and to move the issue information there to the "Reference" section at the bottom.

I'm going to try to make this look more like the other comics' articles do, by putting the issue titles as refs rather than as headers. 207.229.140.148 (talk) 20:25, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

The biography has now been made a more of a biography rather than a list, references have been moved to the proper section, and the biographical info has been ordered chronologically according in-comic time. However the biography still reads in certain sections more like a list of facts than a biography. Editing to make the biography flow better is required.Mainehaven (talk) 19:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Passive voice

• Why would you change my edit to put everything in the passive voice? That seems like a bad idea. Universaladdress 08:12, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Thought changing it to passive voice would make it tie in better with the other "Fictional character biography" entries which were in passive voice. Mainehaven 21:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
