From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Actually, I did add the co- once: I restored your edit because I thought it made sense. Naturally, you must be a sock puppet of mine. No way anybody could actually agree...

I'm offended that he's accusing me of sock-puppetry, but he's accusing you of not existing! Sorry you had the bad luck of hitting a troll so soon in your Wikipedia career. Took me months.

It might help matters if you said who you were--my identity's public, as I link to my home page from my userpage--but I certainly would understand if you prefer to remain anonymous. —Chowbok 21:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My identity

I entered my e-mail in my profile...doesn't that mean you can contact me directly? I appreciate your support. It took me a while to sort out who's writing what and how I can respond. I'm pinging back and forth between your user page and Tenebrae's...

[edit] Kane

The fact is, Finger's contribution is not universally acknowledged, and much legal and formal credits goes the other way, and so it cannot be stated as fact.-- Tenebrae 21:58, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Finger

Did you read my citations? Kane himself stated Finger deserves credit. So did Kane's first ghost, Jerry Robinson, who was there from issue #2, I believe. That's why he created the Bill Finger Award, which was first given out last year, to honor writers and publicize Bill's legacy. As I wrote, even DC acknowledges Finger's contribution--one place I didn't mention is Amazing World of DC Comics #1 (1974), page 28, the Bill Finger "In Memoriam." I'm happy to e-mail it to you if you provide your e-mail address.

Not everything on Wikipedia is universally accepted. Few theories are. There is not a single source in my hundreds of pages of research on the creation of Batman (not to mention the interviews I conducted personally with half a dozen Golden Agers) that gives Kane (or Finger) sole credit. The law (i.e. the contract that Kane signed without Finger's knowledge) does not make something a fact. Everything I've cited does make it a fact. I'd like to add the "co." Will you support it?

[edit] Re: Your comment

Your last comment on my page looked like it was directed at Tenebrae, so I removed it. You should re-post it on his talk page. Please try to only post messages to me on my talk page. --Chowbok 23:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Compromise solution

I've made a compromise solution at Will Eisner that ID's Kane while eliminating the entire issue of credit, since this is an article about Eisner and not Kane. Please see it and let me know if you have any objections. -- Tenebrae 00:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It's fine by me, thanks
