dead links to Comics UK, specifically the back page of the last issue of Buster. This isn't in the new gallery for some reason, so does anyone have an alternative link so I can replace it?
Unfortunately, even when it does get added to the new gallery, all that Ajax cruft means there won't be a direct link to its page in that form - only a useless hotlink. I seem to recall making this very point when the new site launched.

We can get around that by linking to the image itself. It just needed to be reuploaded somewhere. Thanks Tin Can, both wiki pages have been updated with a direct link to that attachment.

Lots of red and amber on that status page right now.

Just made some updates to the Beano, Dennis and Roger pages on Wikipedia. Had to remove an unsourced paragraph about the Golden Ticket "scam" though, as it was opinionated and has no citable sources. Updated artist information, replaced Roger's infobox (he had a TV/film character one instead of the Beano's) and updated the logo.

Guess what I just undid again? Only thing is that the vandal is not a poster on this forum.

I've requested semi protection as well. They turned it down on Saturday.
