Thanks for adding to the Mental Emperor entry, ME.  I had forgotten the info regarding Ersork, and when I added the entry, I was doing most of it from memory, which on occassion seems to be a little shot. Thanks also for letting me know about the use of numbered designations...I was not aware of that.  Like what you did for the two additional Superboys, combining them into one entry, shouldn't the same thing be done with Air Wave?---Mano

The best thing to do is use the talk pages for the entries. Redirects are not necessary and aren't used here, any entry could get a redirect based on another name or even a typo. As far as the Superboys, if they had designations of universes, then yeah, a new entry could be OK. (the "Airwaves" were named as two different people in the pages of the comics - years work better than giving a number that isn't official). If not, grouping together works. The Earth-1 or Earth-2 designation works only when the comics name these Earths (generally, with Superman, in the 70s and later). Before that, it is always assumed that Superboy is from "Earth". --[[User:MatterEaterLad|MatterEaterLad]] 04:10, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure many of us know this but, in my case, are too lazy, tired, bored, egotistical or plain forgetful to proof the first time through. My mistakes are usually the same over and over.  I never learn.  Another suggestion is to compose in a program with a spell/grammar/syntax check.

I'm a little confused, is it hard on the database to keep editing online?  Generally, most of the things I keep going back and editing are small things that I just figure should be right eventually, and its easier to get them sooner rather than later when there are going to be a lot of entries. For example, in the "Sylvia" entry, the reference should be SGLL, not LL, and since its close to the top, its easier to make the small edit now...when I follow links to other entries, I find some typos in almost all of them...I think I'm anal in trying to wipe them all out on my entries in a few hours, rather than let them sit?
