Editing Talk:Quicksilver (Marvel Comics) (section)

== Literature ==

Quicksilver is a character of literature.  His timeline is not nearly as important as the cultural impact of the literature of his appearances as a whole.  Therefore, if you are arguing that everything except his most "recent appearances" is irrelevant, you seem to be confusing him with a real person (and even real people have history in their entries).  Quicksilver has appeared in hundreds of comics using superspeed powers.  That is relevant.  It's what he is known for and what his name describes.  Deleting a few sentences about the character's historical description (while other characters currently depowered -- Magneto, for instance, or Protigy  -- retain desciptions of their historical character) is dubious, at best, and most likely clearly incorrect.  The total impact of Quicksilver as a character in comic literature is decades as a speedster mutant, and not whatever happened to him over the last months.  If anything should be shortened, therefore, it is the current status that may, in the end, be a blip in the character's total history.  So stop deleting.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/64.0.196.186|64.0.196.186]] ([[User talk:64.0.196.186|talk]]) 18:20, 28 September 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:That is all complete rubbish.  Quicksilver is not a speed character anymore.  He has lost that power, and the whole point of this site is to keep things up to date with what is CURRENT, and since he is no longer a speedster, it makes absolutely zero sense to keep talking about him as if he still is one.  And it is also completely unneeded to continue to go into detail about his powers as if he still has them when they no longer exist.  You also have no reason to say that what is currently going on will be nothing but a "blip" because you have no proof of that.  So until he either gets his speed powers back or gets new ones, then it is you who needs to stop changing the article to stuff that is no longer relevant.[[User:68.34.51.231|68.34.51.231]] 19:50, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Terms like "rubbish" is, perhaps, your replacement for reason?  It doesn't overrule the major cultural impact of a the character if, say, Sherlock Holmes was once written early on as a user of cocaine, or if he was written late to be a crossdresser.  Those might be interesting sidenotes but, as a character of literature, it's his total impact as a solver of mysteries that is most relevant, without regard to what came last.  You would not delete his mystery solving because his last appearance is "most current" and, similarly, the orignal creater of Quicksilver, who is not the one constantly adapting him, made Quicksilver relevent by Wikipedia standards before the period you appear to be obsessing over.  Your "what is CURRENT" is your obsession, not Wikipedias.  Continue to delete that, as a comic character, Quicksilver is know as a speedster, and it will be replaced.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/64.0.196.186|64.0.196.186]] ([[User talk:64.0.196.186|talk]]) 00:11, 2 October 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Also, I don't see you deleting every scrap of information on Magneto's powers, because he has "most currently" become powerless in the comics.  Remember, what is current must overshadow all, correct?  Contradicting much?
:You do not run wikipedia.  You have zero right in saying what can and cannot be put up on the pages.  I, however, am going by every other thing that I have seen done by people who have actual clout around here.  Putting things up in their most current status is the normal practice of what to do.  For example, Chamber and Jubilee have always been known through their Generation X appearences, and her much longer before, especially her cartoon appearance, but recently they went through major overhauls, and their pages changed accordingly.  Jubilee is even arguably a more recognizable character than Quicksilver, yet I don't see you forcing them to keep her and Chamber's pages like their most recognizable forms.  Contradicting much?  I do not change Magneto's page because his status is very clearly up in the air right now as to whether or not he is truly depowered, so there is no one way to say it, so it's left as is, which is how things are done around here.  Maybe when you realize this site isn't your own personal playground, you'll catch on.[[User:68.34.51.231|68.34.51.231]] 01:02, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Quicksilver's history is decades longer in literature than either Chamber or Jubilee.  More importantly, you are not simply adding the most current, you are obsessing with deleting more of the past/most longstanding/most cultural impact information.  Since your information is available in both versions, and your version deletes information, the personal playground label applies better to you.
