[edit] Merge

The article at The Pit (G.I. Joe) can very easily be condensed and merged here. The article is overly long for the information it contains, and can be rediuced in size to fit perfectly as a section here, in line with guidance at writing about fiction and Wikipedia is not a plot summariser.

[edit] Opinions

• Merge per nom. --Chris Griswold 16:41, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Nay! Do not merge! Adding it to G.I. Joe (comic) would make that other article looking off balanced with the rest of it. The Pit article even if summarized still takes a huge chunk of space. If you want it removed or redirected elsewhere why not merge with all other smaller articles like that Jewel of Ameterasu into one? Say, something like Objects in the G.I. Joe universe or similar? Leave the comics article as it is. --Destron Commander 14:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Do not Merge I think this is fine as is. Precedence? Batcave -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 17:28, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Do not Merge Being a subscriber to the pack rat theory of information, I do not think this article should be merged. While it may be a niche article, there is no real reason to condense. topkai22 22 July, 2006

Decision closed with no decision to merge. --Chris Griswold 08:42, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GI Joe Reinstated

The section of GI Joe Reinstated says there are 43 issues but all I can find online is that it was a 4 issues series.

See here http://www.marsimport.com/display_comic.php?ID=3436

I did edit the section a bit to include the artist John Larter and correct the Publisher from Devil's Due to Image Comics.

Joe Reinstated is the nickname of the series. The first four issue was a story arc called Reinstated, hence the confusion. 70.50.2.80 02:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:G.I.JoeArabic.jpg

Image:G.I.JoeArabic.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.
