[edit] Unclear

The phrase "A male aspect created to act as a balance, which must have a female as a host." is unclear. A male aspect WAS created...? Or is this saying the withblade IS a male aspect? Swrdfghtr 22:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

the Witchblade is a male offspring of the Darkness and the Angelus... that's it.

[edit] Issues

I think that the section "Issue events breakdown" can be moved to another page. Which could allow more information included, reduce de size of the main article, and remove potential spoilers from the main page. Comments? --Guille2015 03:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

It also needs to be made NPOV.--Kross^Talk 12:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

A new article called 'List of Witchblade Issues' should be created and have the summaries moved there. LyMinh 01:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yumi picture...

That Yumi character is supposed to be 15? You can see her butt in the accompanying image. Does anyone else think this is a bit much? Do we need to have it in the article?

I think you're over-reacting a bit. It is a cartoon character after all. And please remember to sign your comments by placing four ~ after your comment. Konczewski 03:20, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Excalibur3.gif

Image:Excalibur3.gif 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.

[edit] Witchblade Lost Generation

Finally found a pic http://www.tokyopop.com/WraithMaster/photo/372699.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.245.122.98 (talk) 17:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

The trouble is, that image doesn't have any licensing information associated with it that I can see. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, so a license is needed before uploading it —αlεx•mullεr 17:09, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other witchblade weapon?

I am sure I saw a Witchblade as a staff with two swords on the end, and not only in Dawn of War. Does anyone else know where this is? --98.215.53.250 (talk) 16:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

Should we make a article about the manga? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.248.230.11 (talk) 01:41, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes. It strikes me that the article is actually missing a lot of information about the comic series - which should be the core. It makes sense to split off the adaptations to their separate articles so the bulk of the article can be refocused on the comics. The anime and TV series are already split off, the film will be when it is closer to being released, so I think the manga should be too. (Emperor (talk) 17:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC))
