Forum:Proposal - Cleansing of the Crossovers

Proposal
It's very tiring to continue seeing crossovers from other movies, books, TV shows, and other media. Crossovers are becoming to great, especialy Spiderman villians. This is Star Wars, not Spiderman.

I think, if someone wants to use an idea from another universe, don't copy it exactly and put it in Star Wars. Examples are Mysterio. Troyb's Mysterio uses the same picture and identity as Mysterio in the comics. Another is Pinky's Venom. Venom in Spiderman was originally an employee of a newspaper, this Venom also an employee of news media.

These crossovers are just carbon copies of characters from other universes put into Star Wars, they are no better than putting a canon character article here and not putting an fanon material in it.

I think, if an author wants to borrow an idea from another universe, let's say use his name, don't put the picture, use a diffrent one and vice versa. Don't use the picture, name, alias, and backstory as it is in the universe you copied it from. Trask Ulgo 16:53, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Disagreeable from what I got out of that. I use crossover pictures, and sometimes I make nods to their actually story (Dustin Fayne or Zack Fayne for example) other times I don't (Ryan Vex comes to mind). If there is absolutely no or very little fanon information then yes, they can be deleted, but that's as far as I'll go. -- [[Image:JM76sig.jpg|90px]] Council Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg|20px]] 16:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * But I'm talking about like Venom and Mysterio. They are basically exact copies.

 * I recently deleted my "B'handl Rhafael/Sak Shry'dar/Tultor/Tultorian/Oorda" articles/storyline, because it was practically a copy of the Ninja Turtles molded to fit Star Wars (you know, instead of a swords, there were lightsabers and instead of ninja stars there were blasters, etc). However, using pictures (like Yu Gi Oh pics) for your characters is fine in my opinion. Or I sometimes use cross over pictures, but solely that. Homages to other characters with a name or something or just the personality is fine, but making the EXACT same storyline (molded for Star Wars universe) shouldn't be accepted, because it'd be a direct copy onto Star Wars from a totally different franchise. Basically, I agree with Trask Ulgo, to a degree. -- Victor  ( talk ) 22:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I got to agree with Vic. What he said 23:32, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I say that if the article is a "nod" to their Marvel storylie, its okay, but I wouldn't go too far with exact copies.--Darthtyler (talk) (HSM RKY)[[Image:TylerLogo.jpg|20px]] 23:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure where we should draw the borderline crossover, because on one hand, I kinda like the Order of the Whills article. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 23:40, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Why thank you! - Brandon Rhea 00:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I support deleting the exact copies, but I hope that articles with some references (like this one) aren't getting huffed. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 23:46, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to change my Mysterio because you trask hate cross overs. Further more its not hurting anyone and I changed it so it matches star wars such as The Goblin and Mysterio.Troyb(CIS ShadowFeed) contribs[[Image:Troyb2.jpg|20px]] 00:22, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Also my The Goblin is not a copy and my mysterio is not a copy either O.k. Trask? So not to be rude but I dont care but I'm not changing my mysterio, but if it come to deletion let me print my article.Troyb(CIS ShadowFeed) contribs[[Image:Troyb2.jpg|20px]] 00:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * He was just using them as examples. I don't think he was trying to be rude. Also, you should already have your articles saved somewhere else like in MS Word or a flash disk or a disk, CD, etc. It's not a good idea to only have them here. - Brandon Rhea 00:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll do that as soon as possible but here its getting late so I dont have the time.Troyb(CIS ShadowFeed) contribs[[Image:Troyb2.jpg|20px]] 00:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * sigh* It doesn't matter if their deleted, we can restore them (its ok, you wouldn't know the true power of the Admin-side ) --  JM  76  Ask   Archives  [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg|20px]] 03:49, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
