Krushor[edit]

"Krushcor was denied resurrection for centuries. This would eventually evolve into an important tenet of his following, keeping him from doing it even after the ban is lifted."

I can't remember anything about that, whats the source? --Tortanick

Never mind, I found it. I'll cite it in the article.

Argh... I tracked down the posts, but forgot to cite them? :P Sorry. --Kizor 00:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And after I tracked down the post to cite it for you, I didn't actually update it. Ah well I'll do it right now, I remember where it was. (there done) --tortanick

Arr-Kelann[edit]

Just brainstorming about a section on the planet itself

You're all welcome to join in ;)

Cities Kindrus(sp?) based on florence-itally according to the printed works

Death Ray

Alive?

Land to water ratio

Races:

Sepient Races:

Elves: Elves have been mentioned but nothing is known of their culture or history. Only one elf, Aanlonar, has had any role in the story so far. hmm, there were two elves in for the death of kings, I'll add them soon

Dwarves: Little is known about dwarven culture or history, the only thing so far revealed is that dwarves believe the afterlife will consit of eternal fighting. To them this is an eternal reward.

Dragons: To Do

Humans: So far humans have had the most coverage of any species, however unlike real life there appears to be little regional diffrence in appearacne, all humans are caucasion, facial hair is also more common then on earth. The one exception to this rule is a Fakir that stars in the short story "the guy on the rock" however so far all humans (except the fakir) can be described as comeing from a medeval like society, it is possible that when the story dictates the introduction of a new culture, such as Krushcor's barbarian hoard, the appearence will change.

That paragraph needs a lot of work, help would be apreciated.

For future reference, detail is good, but going to such extent as giving dwarves or dragons their own sections - when either has only been present as a few very minor characters - is counterproductive. This is an encyclopedia entry for the comic, not a fan work for the comic itself. We can get pretty extensive, but taking away the distinction will cause disaster. I and a group of others tried once, on another article, and won't try again. --Kizor 16:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The picture[edit]

I changed the picture because:

The previous one showed someone being puched through walls, thats typical of the action & superhero comics, Gods of Arr-kelann is neither.
fights happen but rarely, a more common event is witty conversation. I feel the example should be of a typical event in the comics.
I just love that pannel and the attached philosiphical debate: if god kills someone then brings them back unharmed did he do something wrong?

By all means. The action picture is primarily intended to illustrate the expanded and detailed powers section that isn't there yet. --Kizor 10:10, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Author(s)[edit]

The info box listed Chuck and Steve Rowles as "Author(s)", but the text (as well as my understanding from their website) is that Chuck does all of the writing and plotting. Steve is, at best, co-illustrator. I've edited the info box appropriately. Ig8887 03:00, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Arr-kelaan-ronson-bikk-mike.jpg[edit]

Image:Arr-kelaan-ronson-bikk-mike.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

http://www.lulu.com/drunkduck
Triggered by \blulu\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

Links removed, some other revisions made as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.172.10.203 (talk) 21:11, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

More www.lulu.com/drunkduck links that I had not noticed. The books are no longer available on lulu.com anyway, so links are removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.172.10.203 (talk) 13:12, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hiatus[edit]

Not sure where this should be added (if it should, in fact, be added), but in response to a question I asked him on his Comic Book website (last question/answer), Chuck Rowles indicated plans to finish the series in 2018. Kweston (talk) 22:10, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say it doesn't matter much yet, though of course we should update this article when the webcomic concludes next year. Either way, I'm gonna put this article on my list of articles that I want to improve at some point... ~Mable (chat) 09:02, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
