Talk:Corto Maltese (Earth-1)

93.39.179.94 20:20, August 21, 2014 (UTC) The admin removed my edit regarding the origin of the name Corto Maltese (http://arrow.wikia.com/wiki/Corto_Maltese_(location)?diff=49915&oldid=49914)

His/her justification "Nope. It's also a location in the DC universe" is a non sequitur, because nothing in my edit contradicts that assertion.

Trivia sections are presumably intended for such miscellanea as this, even though they may refer to things outside the DC universe. Had the admin taken the trouble to Google the name "Corto Maltese" before deleting my edit, he/she would have easily discovered pages and pages explaining the history of Pratt's character (which long predates The Dark Knight Returns) and its influence on Frank Miller, for example:

http://comicsalliance.com/idw-hugo-pratts-complete-corto-maltese-english/

''"Pratt’s work has been a major influence on quite a few American comic artists and writers. You may remember that there’s a fictional DC Comics country called Corto Maltese (it’s even mentioned in the 1989  Batman  movie). That’s because  Frank Miller was a fan of Pratt’s and put his character’s name in  The Dark Knight Returns ." ''

I request that my edit be restored, as I believe it adds interesting background and context to the entry. There are far more irrelevant items in many other trivia sections in this wiki that have been allowed to stand, I don't see what's so harmful about mine.
