Talk:Clayface

Incorrect. Both the site above and I copied the WB character bio. The character bio is promotional material and falls under fair use. I am reverting the page. -- BoneGnawer 20:38, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

The site is an official site and it belongs to Warner Bros. Nowhere does it say it's promotional material. ― Thailog^Talk

An official website about a TV show is promotional material by definition just like TV commercials, print ads, etc. If you'd like to improve the article with well written, original material, please do.

No. A Press Release Kit is promotional material by definition. An official site is and official site, and you need more than crediting them to use their material ― you need explicit permission. ― Thailog^Talk

Fair use does not mean that you can simply copy lumps of text from the official site. A small quote may be fair use, a simple copy isn't. As well as this, there are the Wikia terms and conditions that say that text must be compatable with the GFDL. We don't mind a small amount of fair use text, say a quote, but in general text must be original or fully GFDL compatable. -- sannse (talk) 10:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification.

[edit] Cleanup

Apart from the obvious typos and terrible grammar, this article also needs to be formatted in accordance with our standards, namely the criterion:

• Words that are themselves titles of additional articles should be linked only on their first occurrence in the article."

I cleaned up the article and expanded on what was there. I merged some sections together because I felt the piece was too disjointed with several section breaks, and I think it flows better now. The article needs a few more pictures (Hagen before the change and revamped Clayface at least) and could use a quote, but I'm too tired to do that right now. That be work for a different day! Removed the stub and cleanup tags. - NakedSamurai 03:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Main Image

Changed it cause i like his attitude in this image better. The original main image is in the article still, though. -- WarioLoaf 03:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

The rule is to show the most of the character as possible. And what's wrong with his attitude? He's a villain -- he looks villainous. The other image should be fine. ― Thailog 13:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

• Hmmm, you talking about the one i uploaded or the original main image? -- WarioLoaf 19:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm talking about the other. You said you liked his attitude in your image better, so I asked what was wrong with his attitude in the other pic. ― Thailog 20:19, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

• Oh he's smiling and looks kinda kidish and there is no pic of clayface in the article besides the main one. the others are hagen. Nothing's wrong with it, its a great capture -- WarioLoaf 20:58, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Then I see no reason for changing it. ― Thailog 21:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

• Since the pic is suppose to be him in his most recent appearance, hows this as the main image from Justice League?:

-- WarioLoaf 02:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually the policy has changed, and this image does not conform with the current one. ― Thailog 08:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
