User blog comment:Undoniel/Multiple corrections from Stuart Vandal, Official Handbook writer./@comment-4651179-20130727001510

Well... I certainly don't know where to start, as most of my fellow admins already took the words from my mouth.

I would also like to know when did he accuse our wikia? Because if it was recently I might say that's just totally unprofessional. You just can't go around incriminating our wikia for things done in a distant past. It's almost as if you, a now grown man, were being recriminated for not knowing how to ride a bike, when you actually didn't know how to ride a bike when you were 5.

Here we don't promote illegal download of comics, and we never did. It was just an isolated case, which Vandal used as a generalization for our entire site.

Here we had the problem of unreferenced work. But now we are correcting that. I must admit I didn't use references back then, but now I add a reference to every single thing I write here.

We never posed as an official wikia, we even tell people we are just fans with who enjoy Marvel numerous times. And at least we do a better job than Marvel's own Marvel Universe wiki, holly...! That site is full of red links, and out-dated bios with no references, although it's also run by fans.

And yeah, the way he talks "arrogant" is written all over his words.

But I'd also like to point out certain things from what he mentioned:


 * What is the source for Ghost Rider's name being Alejandra Jones? I would like to know, because in his post it is never referenced, as most of his facts. I don't want to accuse him of hypocrisy, but...


 * The Venom's off-spring symbiotes (or their respectives hosts) might have never been officially named Phage, Riot and Lasher back then. But in Carnage U.S.A. #2 all of them are named that way, thus making the fan-names now official. The original hosts for these symbiotes might have never been called Phage, Riot and Lasher, but the symbiotes are called that way now. He should do a little bit more research.


 * Yes, Hydra is oftenly misspelled "HYDRA", but I've spend a lot of time changing the incorrect form of the name to the correct one in many pages. So, this is a problem that is being solved. Not to mention even official Marvel products use the capitalized form of the terrorist organization's name.


 * The whole "Falcon is not a mutant" thing has been clarified in our wiki a long time ago. I don't even remember anywhere in this wikia Falcon being called a mutant.


 * "Incorrect: "Devil Dinosaur is smart for a dinosaur." / Truth: He’s as smart as a human, not just a dinosaur." How does this correction make sense? The "incorrect sentence" basically states that Devil Dinosaur has an intellect superior of that of a normal dinosaur, and Stuart Vandal corrects stating he's smart as a human, which is basically an intellect superior of that of a normal dinosaur.


 * As far as I know we never stated that the number "616" comes from the publication date of Fantastic Four #1, in the page for said reality, we even state that is a rumor.

Of course his claims weren't specifically against our wiki, but I'm just raising the shield.
