  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Biollante: ok so shouldn't Joe Quesada know that? lol  It made him look a bit stupid imo.
    May 21, 2012, 07:57:37 AM
  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)
    May 21, 2012, 07:23:13 AM
  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

  • Biollante: Joe Quesada was drawing Thor on some Disney promo, and he drew him flying with his hammer on his side, now I'm not a Thor junkie, but isn't that actualy inaccurate, doesn't he fly by being dragged by his hammer???

  • Biollante: gonna be hard for anyting to catch up, Ridley Scott is pretty much the top of dark visual design imo, and he drew a lot from Moebius for that film, most fillm makers are not really connected to aestheticas of good fantasy film making in the same way

Archie Comics Portal on Wikipedia
« on: March 06, 2007, 09:33:31 PM »
Over the past few months, I have become more and more interested in contributing to WikiPedia. One thing I have noticed is that although there are literally dozens and dozens of articles related to Archie comics, there really isn't any one thing tying them all together.

As I have been getting more interested in Wikipedia, I have begun to notice Portals and WikiProjects. Seeing as to how there's even a portal devoted to Futurama (a great show if you've never seen it), I figured it was time to create an Archie Comics portal in an attempt to link all the Archie comics articles together, and also as a way to get a dedicated group of Wikipedians working on those articles - expanding them, cleaning them up, etc.

So, if this sounds like something you'd be interested in helping in, here are some links:

Portal page - http://en.wikipedia.org/Portal:Archie_Comics
General info on portals - http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Portals
Guidelines - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Portal/Guidelines
Instructions - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Portal/Instructions

This is a massive project and there is still a lot to do, so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. The possibilities are practically endless considering how large a subject area this is.

Have fun, and be sure to tell anyone you know who may be interested :)

I've already created the portal. I did that by following the instructions (on the "Instructions" page). There's one main template that most of them are based off of (although I'm still trying to figure out how they did the rounded corners in the Futurama portal - those are most likely images). I just need help building it up and adding content :)

I'm sure there are lots of people on Wikipedia who can help us with that too.

I often contribute to Betty's Wiki.

A while ago, someone deleted cola from the list of Betty's favorite foods. I added it back in.

Also, a lot of the character bio's, including Betty's, have charts with stats about the characters, but, a while ago, these charts started displaying only the first few lines of info? Can anyone fix this?




Betty Cooper + Cheryl Blossom. It's inevitable.

I'll take a peek, and see if I can add anything.  Surely being a fan for 20 years may give me a bit of an advantage.

I'm interested in contributing but haven't a clue about contributing or where we should start....

I'll do some more reading on Wiki
