    Entry for Ronald Reagan: 
     
    Ronald Reagan was a great intellectual conservative leader that led America to victory against the Soviets in the Cold War with his Reaganomics 
     
    Now I was barely even alive when Reagan was in office, but the overwhelming opinion of those outside of the USA is not that Reagan was one of the best presidents ever.  Should CV just have a link to Wikipedia for real life entries like this, and then include his comic appearances?

    Never link to other wikis/comic sites in our database, the character's page should focus on his appearances in comics. Any real life biographical information should be kept minimal.

    You did a good job of updating him RazzaTazz! ^_^ 
     
    You think thats bad though? This site had nad, zlitch, nothing for Kate Beaton's bio until I filled it out. They didn't even have her gender! Travesty on wheels!

    Thats what I figured, so why did the "Tea Party" ish version ever get approved in the first place?  Even if Reagan was instrumental as winning the Cold War as most Americans think he was (and as a non-American well read in Russian history my opinion is that he was more of a catalyst), his economic program had nothing to do with winning, and even if they did how does this relate to the random appearances he has made in comics.   
     
    Unless it is some sort of template for beating enemies - can the Joker be beaten with Batmanomics?  :P

    The top guy Jerry Seinfeld wrote it apparently, we don't see subs from users over 5k points for approval. Honestly most of that guy's subs are of questionable utility, by all means feel free to rewrite as you see fit.

    Can't I get a little repsect for the Batmanomics portmanteau?  Maybe I should put that in the database :P

    You'd have to get it published first but I like the idea.
