Title: Close to 1,000 entries...
Post by: MatterEaterLad on June 17, 2006, 06:44:06 PM
Well, lots of new stuff...I am trying to add some Bronze Age stories but I have no real expertise there, so I can only add single entries, we need a Bronze Age person to add to Jimmy Olsen, etc. (Johnny Nevada? 8)  )...

Maybe it might be a good idea to split up all the previous entries and comb through them for typos and other errors sometime?

Yes, it is quite exciting.  I didn't want to say anything in case I jinxed it, but Supermanica is chugging along towards 1000 entries without even the benefit of a special promotion of extra team effort.

I am torn between wanting to add new entries and wanting to tidy up old ones.

Both? 8)

Actually, its great to see the entries show up high in Google searches, and there is some clean-up needed, but still, its pretty unique.  If half the unwritten hyperlinks are added along with new entries, 2,000 entries shouldn't take forever... :wink:

I hadn't thought about that --that's great!  Supermanica is the authority.

Get ready for project 2000, June 2007!

Anyone know exactly how many entries in TGSB and how far we are from at least having stubs for all of them?

I was hoping someone would actually count them so I wouldn't have to...  :lol:

Maybe time to change the "Current Events" page that is still talking about "Project 800"?

Yay! 1000 entires!  I can hardly believe it!  Congrats to everyone, especially Super-Monkey who really has pushed us over the top by methodically plodding through the TGSB.

I added the landmark to "Current Events".  I suggest not changing the old 800 project as it is an indication of where we have been --maybe when we get to 2000 it will seem less impressive.  What do you all think?

1000!  :D

 Wow! That's more than 600 new entries since I first visited Supermanica in late April of last year!


Congratulations and keep up the good work, everybody!



P.S.-I may have a few new entries on the way.

Dr Johnny, what's your favorite entry in Supermanica?

Everyone else?


Title: Re: Close to 1,000 entries...
Post by: DrJohnnyDiablo on June 25, 2006, 02:05:26 AM
My favorite?

Hmm... I think that would have to be http://superman.nu/wiki/index.php/Krypto_Mouse!

And you? :)

I really like the way Superboy's entry has shaped up (because I really like Superboy) but most days my answer would be "Whatever's most recent" or "Whatever pops up when I hit Random Page."

It changes all the time, right now it's the MOON, which is a fun entry, some of the ways in which the MOON has been used in stories are downright silly!

You wouldn't think an entry on the MOON of all things would be so much fun to read about, but it is ;)

I like all the entries that help me learn something new, I'm even getting a slight fondness for some Bronze Age stories... 8)

Yes, that's it...it's all good... the Bronze Age is your friend... :-)

Well, small steps...I liked my comics cornball with broad characterization, my favorite personal entry is Pat Boone, not because I liked Pat Boone but it was just so goofy that he was Lois Lane's favorite musical artist... 8)

There would be no Mr and Mrs Superman or Private Life of Clark Kent without the Bronze Age!  Something to love in all the Ages!

LOL, actually I could have done without those, as well as WGBS, Morgan Edge, the New Gods and the whole ball of wax...nevertheless, I like to explore the stories even after my time as comics buyer was done... 8)

In many ways, the stories I mentioned were my gateways to the older stories.  The exact reverse of your sitch.
