Wiki Education assignment: Communication and Culture[edit]

"Writer" should be his last credential[edit]

and it would be more appropriate to call him a "punch-up writer" at best. --69.142.88.64 (talk) 14:33, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RfC on Infobox image[edit]

I feel that a consensus is needed to establish which image is best for the infobox because the current image is poor quality and I feel that Stan Lee was better known/popular during his later years than his early years. Here are the options, please add more options if you feel they are needed:

Option A (current; 1975)
Option B (2007)
Option C (2014)
Option D (2010)
Option E (2006)

Personally, I'm in favor of option C, good quality and captures what many of us remember him as. – 38.106.246.192 (talk) 16:19, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Option C is best. Pflesher (talk) 03:40, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Legal concerns[edit]

Currently this section contains only the text "Lee engaged in several legal actions in his later years."

Well whoopty shit. Clearly that isn't encyclopedic. 23.84.128.179 (talk) 03:18, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual misconduct lawsuit should be included. MisfitBlitz (talk) 05:28, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are clearly numerous sub-headers detailing the legal concerns. If anything needs additions, please feel free to contribute and provide a WP:Reliable source and comply with WP:BLP. Trailblazer101 (talk) 05:59, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Military[edit]

the fact that he was in he military during WW2 and it’s just glossed over is ridiculous 122.218.136.32 (talk) 19:30, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stan Lee Missing Info[edit]

In the section that informs people of his television/movie appearances, there is no mention of his short but important appearance in The Big bang Theory Season 3 Episode 16 in which Sheldon misses meeting him and ends up getting arrested. Great Episode! Stan Lee Rules!!! Hope this can either be added as an amendment or at least I have put it in here for people to now know if they didn't already! 81.110.113.82 (talk) 06:12, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
