[edit] Names

Why this urge in listing every single name? There's no need for listing them all as every character have their real names listed in their own articles. We can keep real names listed only for characters with same names but different alter-egos. —Lesfer ^(talk/@) 15:58, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

It's an encyclopedia, listing the names here for quick reference is easier than having someone go to each actual page. And the number formatting is there for reference purposes. --Basique 15:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

If you and the others had cleaned up this article earlier I wouldn't have had to now. I format pages differently than you do, if you wanted this formatted a specific way you should have cleaned the page up yourself. --Basique 16:03, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, now I see. This is about being territorial. Please, how old are you? Unfortunately I see there will be no point in discusing with you. You've already made this one an article of your own. The problem in here is that people forget to be reasonable and will use every lame argument to keep their opinion and their edits. Whatever. Keep the nice edits in your article. —Lesfer ^(talk/@) 16:08, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

It's not about being territorial, I format for maximum information usability. It's not supposed to be pretty. If I want to find out the names and order of members of the Freedom Fighters I want to be able to get that information on a single page. If I want more in depth information then I go that specific character page. I noticed this behavior before when you edited the Global Guardians page. Sadly comic readers have certain search criteria and instantly knowing that Exposition Man #2 is named so and so, especially if they knew the identity of at least one of the Exposition Men, helps not hinders. --Basique 16:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Why don't we make a article about List of Freedom Fighter members? --Brian Boru is awesome 17:09, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Makes sense to me. --Basique 17:18, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

See Lesfer then we can have more room for other stuff. --Brian Boru is awesome 17:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. —Lesfer ^(talk/@) 15:15, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uncle Sam & The Freedom Fighters #1

Go pick up a copy, it details most the current team, the rest have been covered in interviews. --Basique 20:03, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

You can't state such thing. There is no current Freedom Fighters. Uncle Sam is beginning to assemble the team. We can't even tell who's gonna be a member and who's not. We should wait until we got the real thing. —Lesfer ^(talk/@) 22:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I added a link to an interview where the writer lists the members including Miss America, that's all the proof you need. BTW i'm not going to repair the damage you've done. You are. Please put back that Trivia section including its text and link as well as the other sections you deleted. --Basique 22:31, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the link! ;) —Lesfer ^(talk/@) 23:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

My 10¢: Trivia sections usually don't improve the quality of an article; more the opposite... _> MonstaPro:Talk:Contrib. 04:54, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Current Team (vol.2?)

When you're done fighting I have a syntax question: Currently under Current Team the article states:

A new team of heroes debuted in the limited series Crisis Aftermath: The Battle for Blüdhaven, and later featured as Freedom Fighters members in the miniseries Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters, which premiered in July 2006. This team consists of new incarnations of the Phantom Lady, the Ray, the Human Bomb, Doll Man, Bigfoot, Destroyer and Face. It is part of S.H.A.D.E., a secret American government agency...

I draw from this that this new team were members of SHADE before they attempted to aquire Uncle Sam (during Crisis Aftermath). During this attempted aquirement, is it the case that U.S. then recruits them to the F.F. cause? This is not clear (certainly to me) and confused with irrelevant information very capably available in citatations. Please re-word the first paragraph of the above section _> MonstaPro:Talk:Contrib. 04:48, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:USFF8.jpg

Image:USFF8.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
