Then, of course, you have to remember that there are Wikipedia editors who work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. One - Philip Cross - was noted as working for five straight years without a break, and after this was pointed out, it became a bannable offence on Wikipedia to try and make a page about him or the ensuing media controversy where people tried to "unmask" who he really was, which in retrospect was probably just a bunch of pundits calling Wikipedia's bluff that Cross is a real person and not a shared account taking advantage of the open-source nature of the site - something they've long been warned about.
Tornado Annual 1981: Black Hawk, Wolfie Smith and Johnny Lawless in spine-tingling full-length picture-stories!
Is it me, or does Black Hawk look... well, more like White Hawk on that cover? His limbs in particular are pretty pale. Surely not a deliberate attempt to downplay his ethnicity? I sense the malign influence of Victor Drago.
*ahem*
2000ADopedia
2020 Update: WIkipedia, in a display of absolute stupidity, have relegated the Judge Death wiki to a mention on a page of 2000 AD characters. We don’t know what sort of massive brain aneurysm caused them to make a move that stupid but it’s a disgusting move. I’ve seen a suggestion that I could have somehow done that to get more traffic to here but I was gutted to see the wiki go as I was relying on their bibliography a lot (until I remembered Wayback Machine) and, honestly, this is the most niche site ever and I’ll be glad to get any readers! Think of it as a resource that I always wished existed and ended up making myself.
I've never even seen that Tornado annual, and I've trawled my share of carboot sales - now thanks to Sheridan I'm grateful that I never have to.
Not that it matters in a wider context, but it would be nice to have something outside of wikipedia, so any new readers who wants to fill in the gaps are able to do so.
This is what happened to the entry for Transformers The G1 Collection from Hachette. Luckly the info is all now over at tfwiki. Given the detail found on the entries for JDMC and 2000adUC I've said before it would really be a good plan to put it elsewhere. But the pages are now so detailed I've not found the time myself.
To solve the original problem: get the information that was deleted from the way-back machine, become a Wikipedia editor (I think this step is necessary, but I'm not sure), put the information about Death on the Dredd page.
Updated the JD annual with quiz results (we did the quiz late last night so I can't remember what the actual points I got was, 66 out of 80 perhaps?.I must have owned that Starlord Annual because I remember the cover and the Mind Wars prologue but the rest is a blank. Sounds horrible.
Meanwhile, you thought that Phantom Patrol was over. It wasn't.
Starlord Annual 1981
Never mind though - there's a sequel to Mind Wars, so it can't be all bad. Can it?
