:::Right now, I'm just confused about why such a huge portion of Per Degaton's history got deleted from the article. I restored a previously deleted section. Now I'm going to leave the article alone for a while because I've got to figure it out again. Take your stab at cleaning it up. I'll butt out.

::::Tense will be tricky. Generally, fiction is supposed to be reported in present tense. See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Comics/editorial_guidelines#Present_tense]] to try to figure out how the exceptions apply to the Per Degaton article. [[User:Travislangley|Travislangley]] 17:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:My recommendation on tense, based on past experience when I've struggled with this, would be to first put it all in present tense. When done, read it to yourself from beginning to end and see which parts just flat don't make sense and/or convey the wrong idea about story events as read. You've done a great job on the Per Degaton article. (Heck, you did a good job editing the articles I've been voting to delete, but those deletions are about Wikipedia style issues, not about the quality of your writing.) You write well, you bring a good knowledge of story history with you, and you have a great ability to see how things fit together. Whatever you do to the tense will certainly be tweaked by others, including some who misunderstand the style guideline and think every word is supposed to be in present tense, but if you're seriously interested in addressing the tense issue in that article, you've got the ability to lay a good foundation.
