| :::Also I would like to know how to insert the Character chart that's found at the bottom of the Irina page into the new page and how to add characters to the chart.] 21:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Firstly, take a look at ]. | |||
| I'm not advocating the splitting of the article - perhaps an ''Alias'' wiki (that deals just with ''Alias'') is what you are looking for. | |||
| To do the split you just create the new article. You would need to check the "What links here" for the ] page (available in the toolbox, under the search bar) to fix any links. The "Character chart" is a template available at ]. Any change to the template will affect all pages it's used on - so discuss on the talk page first.--] 22:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ==TAR== | |||
| Hello Otto...thanks for your note. I guess the 'issue' about Frankenberry is that there are multiple editors of the page all of whom don't recall this nickname. As I stated, I've just rewatched all the episodes (not because of this!) and don't hear it. If it is in there once, does that constitue a real nickname? If I am hearing Fran N' Barry but they said Frankenberry once...does that truly need to be in the page. I guess that will be a discussion point. As you might have seen I have reopened the discussion on the TAR discussion page. With regards to having to 'prove' this, all the other nicknames are easily recalled by multiple editors thus there wasn't a need to specify an episode/timestamp. Those nicknames were used continously in multiple episodes by multiple teams. ] 12:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| I added those comments you made about Claudia to the article, which could give us an indication of what could happen during the series' run, which means we could see more models with related LGBT ties or other personal issues. ] 18:36 (UTC) 26 June 2006 | |||

| What production staff are you talking about that have appeared in 2 out of 3 hours of Treasure Hunters?]<sup>]</sup><small>]</small><sub>]</sub> 18:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :The medical guy in episode 2 and the rescue divers and other production people who were hovering around the Browns in Hawaii.] 19:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ::::Production staff are also in TAR a lot. There are production people at a zipline which I think was in season 7. Another instince was season 9 when Fran was having a hard time bungee jumping.

| Honestly, I don't really care all that strongly about that particular item. I do think it's a somewhat significant difference between the two shows and it's worth including, and obviously I would prefer that it stay, but if it truly, truly bugs you so much to have it in the article then I'm not going to fuss if it gets deleted.] 20:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Well, about categorizing as "works of" isn't any problem, as far I can tell. I'm sure Cott12 will agree to this. Yet some of the other exculsions were done a bit hasty. For example, the whole Sufi Reoriented was created by Meher Baba. ] as the current Murshida is directly related to Meher Baba. If St. Peter is in category Followers of Jesus, then maybe we should use the follower option. For another example, Mandali is a term in relation to this particular group, it is not just religious terminology but a group specific term, at least as far as the article presents it. Also a part of Townsend's work is very much connected, Townsend himself being one of the most famous (to the West world) followers of Baba. Part of his work is clearly rock, but part of his activities and songs are quite within the Baba sphere of topics. If not the parent category, some other related category would be quite appropriate. ] <small>]</small> 20:16, 10 April 2007 (UTC) | |||

| == Film categories == | |||
| Speaking for myself, it's not "I like it", although I have doubts when I see isolated actions and not an overall plan. But I understand your point on CfD process and precedent. As said in my comment, I want to get to a useful and stable categorization. I do not want to see subgenre type categories for such groups of films either. I started the WP Films categorization department to get people to agree on what we are doing. This method may not be the most effective, but I think that if we try to work out a scheme that makes sense, we will be able to clean films overcategorization in a wide and relatively undisputed sweep. The problem of users that like creating categories for everything is workable if we have a clear "category-list-navigation" scheme that meets our needs. There is a much more serious problem on the very basics of categorization. Some want to have index-type "primary" categories, and others try to break everything down in specifics. I am trying to find a satisfactory combination of both, but it's not easy. And surely category cruft makes it all worse. If you wish to help me define a scheme, let me please know what you see useful and what you see as cruft in all of ], and I will try to make a wide proposal it in ].

| Hey Otto. After all the recent by-city cfds you nominated recently, I came to realize that there might be a good compromise on how to handle these. I spelled it out at ]. Feel free to let me know what you think. Basically the proposal is to use categories like "People from (city)" only as navigational hubs to related occupational categories. For example, ] should itself have any articles, but should instead simply be the parent category for navigation of related occupations like ]. That would eliminate the "phonebook" of articles for individual cities (ie listing articles by name only) but would retain the more useful subdivision of people by occupation and by city of practice (eg keeping all the New Orleans musicians or Los Angeles politicians as a distinct categories). | |||

AfD can have that effect: it's a debate, everyone debates, but often people are overly hesitant to take action. I agree, there was some discussion of a retired vs. non-retired solution but that didn't have consensus either, clearly. Hopefully if a discussion can be had where the point is how best to organize the articles, then that can be properly addressed. But none of the hoping for merging will go anywhere if no one actually puts together the more general articles. IMO, that can be done, at first, without redirecting the individual game articles.

I'm considering adding another article about a TV show to WikiProject LGBT studies (]). The show features two, possibly three homosexual contestants, and while the show doesn't deal directly with their homosexuality, we still think it's significant that such a large percentage of the show's contestants are homosexual. The article doesn't currently mention this (we're trying to make sure we have the correct information, get our sources straight, and figure out the best method of presenting this information before we add it to the article), so I realize that the article may not qualify at the moment, but I think that it may soon fall under the scope of the project. —] 15:18, 14 August 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ==Comic books -> comics== | |||
| When we made the decision to aim for "comics" and not comic books (especially in disambiguation) I did raise such things and I think the main feeling was that it was splitting hairs and there didn't seem to be much enthusiasm for all the work required. | |||
| However, I do think the distinction is important (especially in moving away from a US-centric naming system, which strictly speaking, didn't apply to a lot of things within the categories) and was prepared to put the effort in on cleaning out ] and have stuck to the naming scheme as I tidied up the comics categories and created new ones. | |||
| The video games one already existed and so was a relic of the old system and was well worth targeting. If you have the enthusiasm for doing the work I don't think many objections will be raised if you go through and finish the clean-up - I do think it is needed but don't have the tie to drive it through at the moment. | |||
| If you want somewhere to start I'd recommend: | |||
| *] - which is a child of ] and the division between these is arbitrary and having two is plain silly. | |||
| *] - which contains a lot of comics conventions. | |||
| The first is a no-brainer and will help get the issue onto the radar and the second one is fairly obvious. It could then lead to standardising about a dozen categories. | |||
| If you give a few test cases a go and are up for the challenge I'd certainly support your efforts. Unless there is some major objection I can't think of they should be fairly straight forward. (] 20:38, 30 October 2007 (UTC)) | |||
