[edit] Handbook

The majority of this article is plaigerized right out of the Official Marvel Handbook (original) and needs to be rewritten. 66.92.50.167 23:31, 17 September 2006 (UTC)


Loki also appears in Neil Gaiman's Sandman series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_of_The_Sandman#Loki). Should these appearances be included here, or is this article Marvel-only?

[edit] Images

At the moment I've left two of adsfafdsafdsafsafefepenisthe images since they are close to supporting the sections they're in. And even that is a polite stretch of terms. Both should be replaced with something that actually supports the sections or removed as "decorative only". — J Greb 17:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.


Loki appears in other comics and in general articles about deities in modern fiction should properly disambiguate themselves in the article title. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 08:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak support of the move. Until there are articles on other characters of this name it doesn't seem to be much of a problem to me, and both disambiguations seem to follow established usages, but I agree the proposed move is to the better choice. Andrewa 03:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Fence If there is a need or desire to put up an article on "Loki in other comics" it makes sense ro move this one to (Marvel Comics). Otherwise... it seems unneeded. - J Greb 03:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose I don't think there are any other comic book characters named Loki, so (comics) is enough. TJ Spyke 03:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. I have reduced the history of the redirect at Loki (Marvel Comics) to a single line, so that if disambiguation is ever needed, this article can be moved there. --Stemonitis 11:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Loki64.PNG

Image:Loki64.PNG 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.
