Peter Parker (Spider-Man film series)

I started copy editing

Peter Parker (Spider-Man film series)
today. However, it quickly became apparent to me that this article should be (1) merged with a similar article; (2) rewritten completely to focus on the fictional character (as opposed to the film series); or (3) deleted.

  1. Peter Parker (Spider-Man film series)
    article.
  2. We do not currently have an article about Peter Parker, the fictional character. I personally don't think we need one because the Peter Parker character receives adequate coverage in the various Spider-Man articles on the English Wikipedia, e.g., Spider-Man, a good article, to which "Peter Parker" redirects; Spider-Man (2002 film), a good article; Spider-Man 2, a B-class article; and Spider-Man 3, a good article.
  3. Merging is probably the best option, but if a consensus develops for deletion, I would not object.

The WikiProjects for

WP:FCHAR (Fictional Characters). I was going to ask this question of those three WikiProjects, but I decided to seek my fellow Guild members' advice first. Thanks!   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I am a man. The traditional male pronouns are fine.) 18:27, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

I would definitely bring it up with the beautiful people over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:35, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It appears things have moved along rather quickly. See

I came across The Don Rosa Library as a short article to edit, but found that the reason was Fix up URL display in refs, which probably isn't the thing the GOCE is supposed to handle. Should I:

  1. Fix the URL display anyway, or...
  2. Remove the copyedit tag (and place {{GOCEreviewed}} on the talk page), or...
  3. Do something else entirely?

Let me know your thoughts on this, and to contact me, {{

ping
}} me.

You are correct. that is not really a CE issue, so the tag should be removed. You could replace it with the generic cleanup tag, although fixing the URLs would be a good deed if you chose to do it. Tdslk (talk) 05:50, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There's a tool that can help. All the best, Miniapolis 13:26, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
