Name[edit]

That is an article on the Phantom Detective? Ha! Ha! I could do better in my sleep. But not any more.

The article says: "Eventually the Thrilling Phantom became known as the Phantom Detective, perhaps to distinguish the two characters.". AFAIK, the Phantom Detective was known within the stories as the Phantom, but most collectors use the term "Phantom Detective" because thats what the title of the mag. I don't think this statement is accurate. Any comments? ---emb021. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.188.33.25 (talk) 18:24, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mask?[edit]

Did the Phantom Detective wear a mask? I heard he only wore it on the pulp covers - that oughtta be cleared up. (72.144.82.229 (talk) 17:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Yes, the Phantom wore a silk mask. That was his sole disguise when not in make-up. Typically he was an expert in disguise. (Cyberia3 (talk) 21:15, 10 May 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Phantom Detective 5-36.jpg[edit]

Image:Phantom Detective 5-36.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 ensure 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.

I hope you don't mind but I replaced the Phantom Detective cover with the article, since it was in use on the Pulp Magazine page also, so repetition. (Cyberia3 (talk) 21:15, 10 May 2010 (UTC))[reply]
