Bot errors

How does Comics-awb decide what to tag? File:Alyxvanceface.jpg is not a comic book image. It's not even in a comics-related category. --Geniac (talk) 14:38, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the bot tagging comic book pictures as NA importance? It says in the definition of NA pictures is this is for spacers and lines, cosmetic things. Seems like it could be low or bottom, but NA Importance on a character picture would be impossible? Mathewignash (talk) 18:41, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also wondering the same thing as it keeps inappropriately tagging manga/anime images as well, which are not under comics at all. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:26, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also it's tagging a lot of images that are NOT manga/anime-related but video game-related. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 14:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Long time no see

Just wanted to drop by and say hi.

I haven't been around for several months, and I'm going to slooowly work through finding out what I missed.

Also, I know I'm cheating, but I would guess that most who I would say hi to have your talk page watchlisted : )

Anyway, just wanted to let you know I'm sorta back. (So better hide the breakables : ) - jc37 14:09, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HEY!

Hey! I emailed you a while back, don't know if you ever got it or just "vanted to be alone". Gosh damn I have no clue what has happened since you've been gone. I just covered something about CFD for the signpost, though, so that might help. As to comics, we've finally got all articles we know about assessed which is a biggie. We're now looking at merging individual stubs into lists, since we have about 3000 of them, and not all of them are essential as standalone articles, based on, um, I found a tool somewhere, hang on, here. Oh, User:DrBat has been blocked indef for sock puppeting, although that user feels unfairly treated because Asgardian never was, see User talk:Carcharoth. And don't get me started on Asgardian. We're drafting an RFC, Boz has it somewhere. Damn, I don't know what else to say. I could probably add loads about the power structure on the wiki, which seems to have shifted somewhat, but that's boring. There's a whole load of people taking all teh chairs off tables on various policy pages, so have a rummage through any you used to like or created. Oh, and WP:FICT is as dull as dishwater, as ever. But yeah, any questions feel free to shout. Nice to see you. :) Hiding T 14:18, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously you can copy this back to my talk page for continuing. :) Hiding T 14:19, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You sir, nearly owed me one keyboard. lol.

I was in the process of doing just that, and opened my talk page for a link to this one. And saw the above comment and just laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed.

I'll have to check my email to see if it's there somewhere. I have several long stories, which probably really aren't important at this point, but I was less-than-online for quite awhile.

And thanks for the update.

I'll take a look around, and bbiab : ) - jc37 14:29, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HAH! You've been missed. Talk in a while. Hiding T 14:32, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Animation

Any thoughts on resurrecting or merging this, then. I know you're easing yourself in slowly, of course. :) Hiding T 20:30, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If I had the sole say in it, I'd be slightly torn.

On one hand, I think that the WikiProject should probably become WikiProject Comics and Animation. This due to the long history that both have had together, and because of the internet (among other things, including greeting cards, of all things), technology is such that we're already starting to see hybrid comics, and other interesting pieces of art that attempt to defy classification.

On the other hand, calling it WikiProject Comics has a straight-forward simplicity to it.

But I don't have the sole say, soooo.

What do you think? : ) - jc37 21:54, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can see the benefits of a merger, especially more so as I go through and tag stuff with {{comicsproj}}, the overlap with animation is quite large. The number of comics series which have been adapted for animated television is rather large. But like you say, WikiProject Comics has a straight-forward simplicity to it. If we were to do it, I think the way to go would be to set the project up as WikiProject Comics and Animation, and have animation as a work-group under that umbrella. Hiding T 21:58, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me.

Would it be worth having a 3-D computer animation (e.g. pixar) workgroup separate from 2-D animation? Or would this just be a case of content overlap between presentation types, and possibly lend more confusion than clarity? - jc37 22:14, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the animation project already has a pixar work group, and I think the film project does too, so it probably makes sense to do something like that, yes. I don;t think there would be too much confusion, we seem to get by having Marvel, DC and US work groups, although the relative inactivity of our work groups may have something to do with that? ;) Hiding T 22:18, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

lol, nod. They're more holding pens, and sub-discussion boards. And I think it actually works decently, if a bit decentralised.

Though I vaguely remember discussing a reOrg of them with you in the past... - jc37 22:28, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We did? Hmmm. Not sure how to do it differently. Eventually I kind of feel we should split the world one up into continents at the least. Beyond that... I could see splitting Batman and Superman out from DC, which would confuse WikiProject Superman. Same for X-Men from Marvel. Maybe 2000AD from British. I'd love a way of some sort of template magic creating comic strip creators or Marvel creators just by having Marvel and creator work groups, but that's impossible, I think. Hmmm. Hiding T 22:36, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Geography. I think it was part of the categorisation discussion.

And I think that WikiProject Superman will have a harder time with suggesting that it shouldn't be a workgroup after the merge. - jc37 22:41, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Geography? I doubt WikiProject Superman would agree to a merge, which is why I like the idea of a work group. I'm contrary like that. ;) Hiding T 22:43, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(de-dent) - I'll have to find it. I think it was on x7 or whichever subpage of yours it was. But I also seem to think it was on your talk page as well.

You know you're just nudging me deeper and deeper into the project... It's no fair that you're so good at that ...lol - jc37 22:50, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

X7 is still there, or the history is. We not long finished that off and pushed it out into the world as the style guidance of WP:COMICS. It's on my user page under sand-boxes in one of the show\hide things. Hiding T 22:54, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A start

Well I've made an initial foray, see diff. Hiding T 12:13, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a good start. I won't be holding my breath, but let's see if anyone comments over the next few days. - jc37 12:32, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hiding,
may I ask what Andrea Santoro has to do with Comics? (as you added a related template) --Túrelio (talk) 13:07, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hiding

And hi from me as well! Happy halloween! >Radiant< 14:26, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
