Can we have the link for Didio's quote on that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cubzrule (talk • contribs) 18:27, 23 April 2007

Opinions in this section need to be sourced or removed! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.189.102.84 (talk • contribs) 13:39, 18 May 2007 It's been removed. It's been several months since anything's been done about this. If somebody wants to add it back, include good sources. Ccm043 23:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Forum posts are not good sources. Maybe if IGN or another website had an article on critism that could work, but posting some individual's opinion is not an authoritative source. I'm also not sure about the second website. Ccm043 22:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• • However, it is true that many fans *are* hating the recent direction that Dan Didio has sent DC. Plus the fact that sales seem to be going down... You do know how hard it is to find sources about this stuff that aren't Forum Posts, right?

I realize that. Unfortunately, unless somebody writes an article on fan views, there are no really good sources for these claims. I know that some recent comics reviews on IGN criticize DC in general for their crossover tactics, but nothing that criticizes Didio himself. Ccm043 20:31, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

However, this:

"Also, many of his decisions in the mega-crossovers of DC have also caused much criticism. Subsequently, due to the failure of

violates Wikipedia's POV policy. Failure is in the eye of the beholder. Not everybody hates Jason Todd or the idea of the Multiverse. What are the sources for saying that many people (and what do you mean by many?) have stopped reading DC or that they think this was a jump the shark moment?

If anybody wants to post something in the criticism section, it needs proper sources. It cannot violate POV, and it cannot use

Can somebody explain how criticism from fans would cause DC to kill off Superboy instead of Nightwing? Isn't this something that's kept under wraps? If somebody can explain how this is possible you can put the Nightwing information back. And please site the source that says that it was Didio's decision. Bart Allen's death is fine, but it needs a citation. As for the last paragraph, who are these "some people?" Do they have a web site? Are they mentioned in some sort of article? It seems like a bit of a stretch to quote Didio saying that he doesn't like Slobo to saying that he doesn't like "fun" comics. Ccm043 18:54, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
