Fictional obese characters
You, and 81.240.203.129 - if you're actually not the same person, have created and been adding people to a category which was already once created and deleted on 3 July, 2008; this category has again been voted for deletion. Please don't repeat this as doing so will result in a 4im, Only warning. Thanks. Quaeler (talk) 21:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Angelfood McSpade


The article Angelfood McSpade has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * How notable is this? There are no references, first of all. Also, since Robert Crumb is still alive, and due to the racially-charged subject matter, this article is a BLP nightmare.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Stonemason89 (talk) 02:58, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Two L'emmerdeur articles
That is funny. I've been work on the main Brel article for the past month, and was in the process of creating articles for Brel's other films when I saw you created a link for L'Emmerdeur. So I created the article from that link after correcting the spelling (French title formats per [|Wikipedia Manual of Style]).

I merged your content into my article, using your structure and additional credits and information. I also replaced my French character roles with your English translations. Take a look and see what you think. Sorry for the confusion.

What a "gag cartoon" is
You have recently been adding the genre "gag cartoon" to the listing for many comic strips. If you check the link that that goes to, you'll find that it applies to single-panel cartoons, and should not be applied to many of the strips you're applying it to, which have several panels in the typical installment. Please stop these additions. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:03, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Can I make a page for gag comics in general? Because this is the format I mean: comic strips that build to a single gag, either in one picture ("Family Circus"), three or four images ("Peanuts", "Hagar"), one page ("The Smurfs"),... In other words humoristic comics that generally don't follow continuous stories. User talk:Kjell Knudde 24 August 2015 (UTC).


 * While I could see creating some sort of delineation, it might be trickier to apply than you might think. For example, Peanuts, while definitely hitting a humor point every day, uses many of its dailies for multi-day storylines. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:33, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * By the way - could you kindly undo the "gag cartoon" additions to Peanuts yourself? I have a WP:COI on that particular topic. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:39, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it's true some kind of story line could be followed over the courses of several "Peanuts" gags, but the most important distinction between a gag comic and other humoristic comic strips is perhaps the lack of a "to be continued..." below the page. The gags can be enjoyed out of context, even if you missed a few episodes. It's strange that there isn't an article for "gag comics" yet. Especially since it's such a popular format for daily or weekly magazines. I found articles for it on other language pages of Wikipedia too. Perhaps I could translate one of them. -- User:Kjell Knudde 16:50 24 August 2015 (UTC).

I found what I meant: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gag-a-day. I'll change what needs to be changed. -- User:Kjell Knudde 17:01 24 August 2015 (UTC).
 * That's a separation that you get in the Europe that we really don't have in the US; we don't have marked-as-to-be-continued humor stories. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:14, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Indeed, that's where the confusion stems from. I noticed the same thing with other articles about comics. Outside Europe people don't understand the "album" format either. Much like newspaper comics aren't a separate genre in Europe like they are in the USA. -- User:Kjell Knudde 17:01 24 August 2015 (UTC).
 * Agreed; this "Gag-a-day comics" category has been occasionally applied recently for inexplicable reasons. Little Annie Fanny was assigned this category before it was rightfully reverted. And there is no reason to repeatedly assign a correlation between an editor's nationality and their types of edits. You don't know if their nationality has anything to do with their edits unless they tell you it does. It doesn't matter anyway; it's what an editor provides from their research of the reliable sources that matters. Prhartcom (talk) 19:48, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * With this particular discussion the matter was already solved a few days ago, when Gertler showed me that "gag cartoon" was not what I assumed it to be. And as I promised I set right what I promised to do. Anyway, to make matters clear: I only talked about a difference in interpretation based on culture. I never said anybody was wrong in this discussion, nor did I presume that every misinterpretation made is solely a matter of cultural differences. By the way, I have a slight fear that you feel offended about my words, Prhartcom: I sincerly hope this is not the case. I have no intention to start fights and hope we can all get along fine in the future. I also have no problems with America's comic book culture. -- User:Kjell Knudde 14:49 26 August 2015 (UTC).

"comic" "comics"
Hi. Thanks for creating the "comic debuts" categories. They'll all have to be moved to "comics debuts", though, as "comics" refers to the medium, and "comic" can be confused with "comedic" or "comedian". "Comics" is an uncountable noun when referring to the medium, and as such is a noun adjunct when used as an adjective. This is well-established usage that you'll see in the works Eisner, Spiegelman, McCloud, and others. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 11:49, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi, the categories have been listed as "comic debuts" for a long time now. Check it out here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1910s_comics_debuts, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1920s_comics_debuts, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1930s_comics_debuts, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1940s_comics_debuts, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1950s_comics_debuts, here, and so on. Nowhere else is the word "comics" used. I'm not going to argue against a decision that has been made in the past about the matter. I understand your point and I see why "comics" would fit better, especially since we now have a confusing situation where "Category: 1950s comics debuts" for instance, leads to subcategories named "1950 comic debuts", "1951 comic debuts", "1952 comic debuts",... I think it would be best to bring it to a forum and ask for a namechange of all these categories. Because consistency in categories is what is favorable. If other users agree (and are willing to change all the articles) it's fine with me. - User:Kjell Knudde 13:55 25 August 2015 (UTC).
 * You can see it's a serious problem, then, if the names of the categories are in conflict. I've just moved all the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s to "comics". Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 12:05, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm afraid you only made it worse. Now all the articles don't have their proper categories anymore. Each one of them ought to be redirected too individually. User:Kjell Knudde 14:12 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * No, there are bots that will fix the redirects automatically. The articles will be fine. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 12:16, 25 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, don't forget all the other decades too. They go on before 1910 and after the 1930s too. User:Kjell Knudde 14:25 25 August 2015 (UTC).

Hi, I'm curious why you are creating categories like Category:1973 comics debuts when we already have Category:1973 comic debuts, etc., etc. You are creating an awful lot of unnecessary work for yourself and creating duplication which then needs fixing. If you think all "XXXX comic debut categories" should be changed to "XXXX comics debuts" then you can get a robot to make all the relevant changes so you can go and start a discussion over here: WP:CFD. I have no objections to the changes (I started most of them) but we do need them to be consistent across the site and not have categories duplicating others. You could probably request a speedy rename to get it all done. Emperor (talk) 00:32, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, User:Emperor well, it wasn't my idea. As you can read from the comments above it was originally user Curly Turkey who wanted all the categories to be changed into comics debuts rather than "comic debuts". I was against the idea, especially since I too favor consistency on Wikipedia and could predict that he wouldn't have the energy to make all of the neccessary changes and someone else would have to clean up the rest. And indeed, before I knew it, he had already changed three decades by adding a redirect (1910s, 1920s, 1930s) and just left the rest like it was. Since I was already checking all the articles and adding more necessary categories (year of introduction, genre, nationality,...) I decided to just go ahead and finish what he started. I've made redirects to all the decades up until 1979 by now. I know it's rather tedious and your help is definitely appreciated, but I'm studying comics history at the moment so for me it's not such a huge problem to go by each article about a comic strip one by one. Several of the more obscure and/or foreign entries were so minimal that I'm actually glad I'm taking a look at all of them. Some, especially foreign titles and obscure comics, leave a lot to be desired and I've rewritten, added, linked and sourced more info to them if necessary. But feel free to add the bot to the remaining pages (1980s until the 2010s) so that all the articles are automatically moved to the proper page. The quicker it's done, the better.- User:Kjell Knudde September 6 2015 (2:47) (CET).


 * Yes, I see you had to rather take over to sort it out, but as a student of comics history I'm sure we can find more interesting work for you to do than the rather tedious work of creating new categories, editing all the articles to include the new ones and... it is making my head hurt. It wasn't that exciting creating them and adding them, but I have been doing it slowly over the years and it was necessary.


 * I'm not as fully engaged with Wikipedia business at the moment, but if you hang fire on new categories, I'll look into summoning a robot to run through the rest of them. Thanks for the work so far and I look forward to seeing your future contributions (which I hope will be more interesting for you ;) ). Emperor (talk) 01:44, 6 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not really sure of the procedure here, so to try and get it sorted out asap, I've posted here. Emperor (talk) 02:09, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Categorisation issues
While I'm here I thought I should flag up edits like this. There was no comic that debuted in 1940 (that was the year the character was introduced, which is correctly categorised), Fictional American people is made redundant by American comics characters (as the latter is a child of it). I'd also suggest American comics characters is redundant as the page already has DC Comics superheroes and Archie Comics superheroes, which are child categories for American comics publishers. At the moment those two categories aren't children of American comics characters, but they should be - I see you have created that category and populated it, but I'd suggest you've done that in the wrong places - rather than, for example, Category:Batman characters being a child of it, Category:DC Comics characters should be as it makes more sense that way structurally. Category: American comics characters should be kept relatively clear, only including pages that don't have relevant American comics publishers categories already.

Hope that makes some sense - the general rule of thumb is to try and only categorise with the deepest nested categories (so Category:DC Comics superheroes not Category: Superheroes or Category: Comics characters, the first category being a child of the other two higher ones. So a lot of characters in there shouldn't be and I'll mark the category for diffusion. The higher level American comics publishers' character pages should be children of Category: American comics characters which would remove the need for Category:Batman characters - I'll pop a few of them in now, but I'll leave you to reverse the majority of your additions to that category.

Technically, I don't object to Category: American comics characters, but I think the reason some might is that there could be some confusion - the description makes it clear that this is for characters from American comics, not characters in comics who are American. However, it is a child of Category: Fictional American people which actually then demonstrates it is the latter. Unfortunately, Hägar the Horrible, Ka-Zar (comics), etc. aren't fictional American people and The Incredible Hulk (comic book) isn't a character it is a comic book, the character, obviously being Hulk (comics). The solution would be to remove Category: Fictional American people as it structurally changes the intent of the category - there has been a general reluctance to have categories for comics characters from specific countries, because with legacy characters and rolling continuities things aren't fixed like they might be in novels, for example, and we don't always get information about someone's nationality. I'd hate to referee the debate about Psylocke, although note the article is in Category:Fictional people from London...

Sorry about all that, but I do keep an eye on the comics categories to make sure it all makes sense and to ensure everything is properly categorised. I only happened across all this because I was editing Black Hood and noticed some problems which I'll now revert following my points above (theoretically, the only one of those three that could be kept is Category: Fictional American people but a) has his nationality ever been stated in the comic and b) it is usually better to give it a more specific character if you can, as in the Psylocke case as Category: Fictional American people is itself flagged up for category diffusion, so we should try and avoid adding any characters to it).

I've not gone to the task of checking your other category additions, as there are a lot, but the sample of one I've seen suggests you might need to be a bit more careful with the categories you do add, as it may be some of them will need removing or refining and it is better to be as right as possible first time. Emperor (talk) 02:56, 6 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes I thought we'd done the dance over comics characters by origin and Category:American comics characters has been previously deleted, along with a slew of others, some of which I see you've re-created (which I contributed to and was told a better formulation would be something like "Characters in American comics"). I'd personally be wary about putting too much effort into those as precedent will tend to mean they don't stand a long-term chance formulated as they are. If you wanted to continue, you'd be best to remove Category: Fictional American people from Category: American comics characters and propose a renaming to "Characters in American comics" (and the same with the other country variants you've started). I'll probably not be doing any edits connected to them myself because, until they are restructured and renamed, they are liable to get (speedily?) deleted. Emperor (talk) 03:15, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Long text. I'll try to keep my reply short. 1) Many of those superhero comics articles are extremely chaotic in their categorization. I often see different debut years pop up so it's possible I may have misread a few of them. When in doubt I always went for the oldest. 2) When I first started categorizing comics characters by nationality there was only a "Category:British comics characters" and "Category:Scottish comics characters". I have no idea why these pages were (still) there while other nationality pages have been deleted. But I saw that these specifically made clear that they were categorizing comics characters originating in Great Britain, not just those who have a British nationality in their respective comic strip universe. I used the same line of thought with the other nationalities (Belgian, German, French, Spanish,...). When a character both originated in the USA and is identified as being American I've added both "American comics characters" as well as "Fictional American people". When not, I've added another nationality, if possible. Take Alphonse and Gaston. I categorized them as "American comics characters", because they originated there, but in the comic they are supposed to be Frenchmen, so I added "Fictional French people". The Dragon Lady (Terry and the Pirates) is an American comics character, but she originated in Asia according to the comics universe she is created in, so I added "Fictional Asian people". For Native American characters I just used "Fictional Native American people" instead of "Fictional American people". Nero and Zero are two Roman soldiers in a British comic strip, so I used "Category:British comics characters" and "Fictional ancient Romans". From reading the deletion page I see that this confusion was already an issue back then, plus that many felt that there wouldn't be enough articles to fill the categories. The confusion is definitely there, but on every "Comics characters by nationality" page I've specifically stated at the top of the page: "Comics characters who originated in the USA", "...Spain", "...Italy",... to make the purpose of the category clear. As for the matter of not having enough articles: this may have been true in 2007, but nowadays there are far more articles about Italian, Spanish, British,... comics characters than I could even imagine. So there definitely should be some way of categorizing those by nationality one way or the other. Another namechange, like you suggested, might provide the solution. Maybe something among the line of "American born comics characters", "Italian born comics characters" or "Comics characters born in the USA", "Comics characters born in Italy" might be a good solution. Or "Fictional American people in comics", "Fictional Spanish people in comics",... maybe? Because the "Fictional American people" as it is is rather large. Making a subcategory for the comics characters would be a good idea.

By the way, a category I personally find redundant is "comics titles". Why do we need "Spanish comics titles", "American comics titles" and "British comics titles" if there are also categories for "American comics" and "American comic strips"? Most articles are already about a comic strip published under that very name, so there is no need for differentiating it as a "title". - User:Kjell Knudde, 6 September, 2015,17:32 (CET).


 * "Long text" Yes sorry about that, brevity is no houseguest of mine - one of the reasons I've been trying to keep a low profile on Wikipedia at the moment.


 * On your points:


 * 1) If you are unsure about categorising an article, then it is best to ask on the talk page.


 * 2) Categories like Category:British comics characters aren't still there, they were deleted years ago and have been recently recreated (that one was started in 2014), so it is unwise to rely on them existing as a sign that this is now OK - if there had been a discussion to overturn the precedent from that category deletion discussion, then they'd have all been recreated. I'd imagine that, once someone notices all these categories, they'll all be mass nominated for deletion. You can state clearly what the category is about, but the current structure doesn't match that (putting Category: American comics characters under Category: Fictional American people says that this is really about fictional Americans in comics). As the naming is ambiguous that is problematic, as it is the categorisation that defines the category. Adding a child of Category: Fictional American people and Category:Comics characters by medium and nationality says that they are fictional characters with an American nationality. What you need are:
 * Create "Fictional American people in comics" as a child of Category: Fictional American people and Category:Comics characters by medium and nationality (Category: American comics characters isn't about the character's nationality, but the country of origin of the publisher) - it clarifies what it is about but could see itself getting deleted as one of the arguments against this last time around is the difficulty of defining a nationality for a fictional character in comics. I am neutral at best about this, but if you are going to keep putting in Category: Fictional American people, etc. then this is a better approach, especially as that category marked for diffusion - we should find a better solution than putting comics characters into it.
 * Change the name of Category:American comics characters to "Characters in American comics" and then have the relevant American comics publisher categories under that: Category:DC Comics characters, Category:Marvel Comics characters,etc. and only put characters into that category if there is no relevant publisher category. I suspect renamed, and with Category: Fictional American people and Category:Comics characters by medium and nationality removed, this stands a decent chance of surviving, especially as it'd allow you to almost completely clear pages from Category:Comics characters, which is too high level to have all but a handful of ambiguous characters. So you can argue that this has an important place within the wider structure. I'd support such a move and defend it is a deletion discussion if it is along the lines I describe.
 * On your other point: Category: American comics is the main category for the entire field of American comics - American comics creators, American comics publishers, American comics titles, etc. and should be largely empty except for those types of broad category and about half a dozen pages (like Free Comic Book Day, perhaps). I've removed a number of categories you and others have placed in there, as they shouldn't be there (and you've over-categorised those categories) so it makes a bit more sense. If you don't understand what a category is for, then ask, don't just jam other things in there as it'll need cleaning up. I helped thrash out the larger comics category structure, so can hopefully explain anything that is unclear. I'd rather sort it out than try and fix the issues piecemeal further down the line (as I haven't the time or energy to do that).
 * Oh and another tip - you added Category:Horror comics to this article but it you check the previous version, it was already categorised . Comics title templates, like, will generate genre and date categories automatically (and has been updated to generate the "XXXX comics debut" style of category). I've edited that article so that the infobox does a lot of the heavy lifting (leaving Fantasy comics as a hard coded category, because it would trigger compound categories that aren't relevant) . If you are looking to add genre and year categories, then it'd be better to update the infobox rather than add them in directly.
 * And I've done it again. Sorry for the lengthy text but all this covers a lot of issues. (Emperor (talk) 17:23, 6 September 2015 (UTC))

- OK, when unsure about categories, I will ask. And I will refrain from adding “American comics characters” to categories like “DC comics characters”, “Marvel comics characters”, “EC comics characters”, because, indeed, you could just put those entire categories under “American comics characters”. I can see why nationalizing comics characters could be difficult, given the medium. On the other hand: you could easily say the same about literary characters. Or any fictional character in general. Why do we assume Sherlock Holmes is English? Because the stories portray him living in London. Why is Batman an American character, despite living in the fictional city of Gotham? Because we can all see it’s a typical American city. Nobody would assume Batman is Hungarian and he is marketed as an American character. The children from “Peanuts” don’t have a specific hometown at all, yet we all know they are American, based on their language and their surroundings. There is no real “proof” fictional characters have a certain nationality, other than their creator saying so. The rest is assumed by the readers based on the characters’ race, culture, name, clothing style or hometown. Or take countless fictional Frenchmen, Chinese, Native Americans, Russians, Mexixans,… Half of the time they are just walking stereotypes. An idea most people would have of those nationalities, despite not having any basis in reality today. The best thing about categorizing fictional characters by nationality is that you get a large scope of the way they are identified as being from that specific country. Some are nothing but a stereotype. Others are more three dimensional. I can get behind a renaming of the categories for “American comics characters”, though. Something like “Characters from American comics”, “Characters from Italian comics”, “Characters from British comics” is probably a bit more clear in its purpose. Summarizing characters from comics from that country, rather than assuming every comic book character from a specific country automatically has that very nationality. And like you said, it would help reducing the “Category:Comics characters” considerably. – User:Kjell Knudde 12:49, 6 september 2015 (CET).

If you read further in the text the publication date is 1970. That's why it debuted in that year. If it appeared earlier we need a date that is less vague than "the 1960s". - User:Kjell Knudde, September 1, 2015.

Fictional dandies?
Hi,

I saw you created and populated Category:Fictional dandies (came across it via Patrick Bateman). It looks like you're using WP:OR to apply that label (connecting what the Dandy article describes it as and finding people in fiction you can apply that to). This seems like something you would need WP:RS for, but I thought I'd ask before removing it. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 13:20, 5 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I used the list on the Dandy page. I wouldn't agree with all the examples listed there, but there are definitely some characters who fit that description. If the category has to go then so should that list of fictional dandies on the Dandy page. - User:Kjell Knudde 15:23, 5 October 2015 (CET).
 * I see. I don't have particularly strong feelings about it, but I suspect that list is largely based on WP:OR. Whether or not a character can be considered a dandy is not the sort of cut and dry thing like making a list of fictional police officers, fictional characters with a particular disease, etc. except insofar as the character is explicitly called a "dandy" (rather than described in the way one might describe a dandy) in the text. When they're not labeled as such in the work itself, it should require a reliable source which does. But, again, I don't actually have all that strong of an opinion on what to do with this :) &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 15:09, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Comic strips
Your recent use of a "comic strips" category has in some cases been mistaken. Gay Comix, Meatmen, Strangers in Paradise, and others are not comic strips, but periodicals – comic books – in their own right. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 22:59, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Please stop changing categories of articles about things you are unfamiliar with. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 01:18, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Are you going to discuss this, or do I have to ask for intervention? -Jason A. Quest (talk) 01:34, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

The "debut" categories are for ongoing series, not graphic novels. Saying that a graphic novel was published in year XXXX and that it "debuted" in XXXX is redundant and confusing. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 01:37, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I should explain my line of thought with the "comic strips" category. I originally assumed that the "LGBT-comics" category was the main category for topics involving "LGBT-comics" and that articles about specific series, books, novels and such should be subcategorized in the "LGBT-comic strips" section. As for the "graphic novels category": I'm sorry, I looked over it. - User:Knudde Kjell 3:45, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * "Comic strip" is simply not a correct term for them. A "strip" is a specic format: a short comic that's included in a newspaper or in a magazine with other material (or the web-based equivalent). Graphic novels are not strips. BD albums are not strips. American monthly comic books are not strips. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 01:59, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Categorising fables
Hi, Kjell Knudde, I notice you have been doing a lot of categorising lately, among which a fair number of fables figure. If you wanted source lists of fables to guide you, you'll find them at the end of articles on Aesop's Fables and La Fontaine's Fables.

I should like to advise, however, that you at least read the lead to the articles you categorise, if not the entire article. I have sometimes disagreed with your judgments on items on my watch list and have reversed them. I will give one example: The Young Man and the Swallow. This is virtually an illustrated proverb in which there is no interaction between man and bird. The bird functions purely as a bird and certainly does not speak. It cannot therefore be categorised as a fictional swallow since the whole point of the fable is that it acts like a real bird. The man draws a deduction from its appearance and later apostophises its dead body, which hardly qualifies them to be categorised as a literary duo. You might just as well enter into that category the proverbial Pot Calling the Kettle Black! Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 10:09, 8 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the appreciation and concern. I do read the articles to check if they fit the category. In fact, I was going through the fables and fairy tales to check for missing categories, but quit for a while because I first wanted to do some other ones. I will return to them shortly. Indeed, I have refrained from just adding every article with the words "X and (the) Y", precisely because in some cases it's not about a duo at all. I'll give a simple example: "War and Peace", "Crime and Punishment",... are more abstract concepts, so I will never list those as literary duos. In the example you gave, "The Young Man and the Swallow", I can understand your interpretation but I still feel they are a duo because the story is about two characters, whether they are real, anthropomorphic or metaphorical. Even with the "Pot and the Kettle" they are anthropomorphized objects who are able to talk, making them characters instead of just lifeless objects. I will agree it's fit for a discussion, though. - User:Kjell Knudde 14:02, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

I agree, we ought to discuss the parameters of what makes a duo, trio, etc. I have looked up duo in Merriam-Webster for US usuage and in Chambers for UK use. Both refer primarily to the musical meaning (also duet), and secondarily to "two persons etc associated in some way" (Chambers). As I have argued, really from the musical analogy that has primacy, there has to be active engagement. In an opera, there may be any number of persons on stage (there often are), but the duet is performed by interaction between just the two. Your argument that the title alone links the 'cast' together seems questionable, especially in the case of fables where titles often differ. To make a trio of "The miller, his son and the donkey" (as you have just done) would require the donkey (or ass in some versions) to be anthropomorphized and gifted with speech, and so play a more than passive part. I would prefer it, for the category to make sense, for the link to be made solely between the characters that play a principal part. I notice, for instance, that you (quite correctly) make a duo of The Tortoise and the Hare, even though a third animal (a fox, mole or whatever) plays a supplementary part as referee.

I have found you another list, by the way, at the end of Grimms' Fairy Tales. The downside to this is that many of the articles are no more than a stub mentioning that this is the title of a story from that publication. I'm wondering how you would categorize a story like The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids - a literary octet? Really the story consists of a duel between Mother Goat (who is not even mentioned in the title) and the Wolf. We really do need more rigour than simply categorizing by title alone. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 15:11, 8 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Perhaps I should explain the entire idea behind "Literary duos". Until a few days ago we only had subcategories about "Fictional duos" for comics and animated cartoon characters, causing the list of "Fictional duos" to be very large. While I don't mind articles about comics and cartoon characters it does bother me when pop culture characters get more attention in articles than characters from less popular media such as literature. For instance, it amazes me some one-time characters from Star Wars, Batman or Disney films have their own character sheet articles, while so many characters from ancient tales are considered to be already "covered" in the article about the tale itself and thus not worthy of a separate article. In many cases the Wikipedia articles about fairy tales, fables, legends, folk tales and other oral tradition are very minimal in categorization, despite many being about animals or professions that we have separate categories for ("Fictional foxes", "Fictional birds", "Fictional kings", "Fictional farmers",...). Since these are often the most ancient examples of these narrative archetypes they too should be listed in the most appropriate categories. Of course, categorization is sometimes difficult. You could argue that the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood is not a "real" wolf, because he is able to talk and cross-dress and would therefore fit more under the category "Anthropomorphic wolves", or something. And shouldn't the hunter be mentioned? He plays a minor, but vital part to the conclusion of the plot. Should the fairy tale be listed as a "Literary duo", because many people talk about "Little Red Riding Hood AND the wolf"? And isn't the article more about the story, rather than two separate characters? Is Dracula a "fictional bat"? Is a story about a hellhound about a "dog" or a "wolf"? You could really go on about this. In some cases the solution is easy. The Princess and the Pea, for instance, is more about a princess. The pea is just a macguffin in the story and not a character. Therefore I didn't categorize it under "Literary duos". A different example is a story called The Clever Little Tailor, which is about a tailor, so "Fictional tailors" fits as a category. However, in the same story a bear also plays a large part. Since this bear is not mentioned in the title and more or less a side character, albeit an important one, I used the category "Bears in popular culture", to indicate that this a story where bears play an important part, rather than "Fictional bears". I would do the same for "Hansel and Gretel", where a witch does play an important part, but she is not mentioned in the title, nor the focus of the story, nor the article, so the category "Witches in popular culture" fits better. Of course, in some cases you can't really make a clear decision. Many stories have other characters besides the ones mentioned in the title, though sometimes they are just additions. The Tortoise and the Hare is about a tortoise and a hare. Some children's stories depict other animals watching the race and one being a referee, but in the original tale no mention of other animals is made. It could just be about them two alone. With The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids the story is about mother goat, her seven goats and the wolf. Who plays a more important or bigger part is not really a deal here, because both the wolf, the mother and the little goats are vital for telling the story. I wouldn't categorize them as "fictional septets or octets" either, because we don't have a category for that topic and hardly enough characters in fiction that could be categorized as such. To get back at The miller, his son and the donkey: all the characters are indeed associated with each other. Whether the donkey is passive or not doesn't really matter. After all there are articles about characters who play no major active role in a story (damsel in distresses, kings who order a hero to do something for him but who stays home otherwise,...) or who are literally flat characters. Most characters in these folk tales are in fact flat characters, even the miller and his son of whom we know nothing, except that they subjugate themselves to the norm at this particular point of the story. Is the father really a miller? Is his child really his own son? Maybe the donkey could talk and just decided he wanted his owners to fail miserably, for the sake of the story's aesop. All of it is deliberately left vague, as you can expect from such a short story. In the end, what matters most for categorization is whether the characters in the title are separate beings that play an important role in the story. To me personally the donkey is equally important. You can't tell the tale without him. Yes, he could have been a different, more complex character, but then it would have been a completely different story too. Of course, others like you could interpret it in another way. That's the power of storytelling. :) - User:Kjell Knudde, November 8, 2015. 17:21 (CET).

OK, you've demonstrated that you know there's a problem with (let's call it) folk material. Now let's talk about rigour. I'm happy to discuss the matter with you, or you might prefer to find someone with more expertise to advise. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 17:04, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Have you in fact drawn up guidelines for how these categories are to be defined? So far there's nothing to stop me or anyone else deciding to 'help' you with your task by categorising the wolf and kids fable as an octet, nonet or duo. WP runs on guidelines in order to avoid chaos and rubbish.
 * 2) You have to address the fact that the original versions of fables like The Boy Who Cried Wolf had no titles and go under a variety of them. Then in the case of The Lion's Share, the lion's hunting companions vary in type and number over a variety of versions.
 * 3) Just who is supposed to be helped by these categorizations? How easy is it going to be for (re)searchers to make use of the lists if there are no valid parameters and no-one partolling them?
 * 4) WP is an encyclopaedia open to all, agreed, but if a major initiative such as yours is going to be launched, then it should be according to agreed professional standards.


 * 1) Categorizing serves one major purpose: bringing all articles about a similar topic or theme together in one group. The same goes for subcategorizing. If you do a study about the way birds are portrayed in fiction or just need an overview of all the articles about fictional birds then "Fictional birds" would come in handy. The subcategory "Fictional penguins", "Fictional owls", "Fictional parrots",... is even better, because it's more specific. Same goes for categorizing by genre, topic, author,... If you need examples of comics about World War Two, gothic horror novels or Brazilian folklore characters then categories for these topics are needed. Especially to avoid people creating articles that we already have. Categorization should also be justified within the article text itself and have enough examples. For instance: "Fictional narwhals" is not going to list many examples, while "Fictional sea mammals" would open more possibilities. There are probably famous groups of eight people in fiction to warrant "fictional octets", but I doubt whether there will be enough. That's why I wouldn't make such a category. In some cases it's difficult to count. Are The Three Musketeers a quartet, because D'Artagnan is actually one of them? Are The Marx Brothers a trio (Groucho, Harpo, Chico), a quartet (with Zeppo) or a quintet (originally there was Gummo, but he never made it from the stage to the films)?
 * 2) Many tales originally had no titles, that's true. However they all received a title when they were written down by folklorists. And even on this site, when deciding over a title, there are still redirects to point people to the correct page in case of different titles, spellings, and so on... Many articles about folk tales are sometimes about almost the same story, only with a few key differences based on the storyteller or country where it was told. In the end whether a tale is "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" or "The Youngster Who Yelled Wolf" doesn't matter. The story is about a child and a wolf and they are mentioned in the title of the Wikipedia article, so "Child characters in literature" and "Fictional wolves" are the categories needed. I know The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids as "The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats", for instance. Same story, different name.
 * 3) Judging whether an article/category is needed is not my personal job. There are enough users worldwide who patrol articles and keep a close watch. If something is ripe for discussion then it will be nominated and discussed sooner or later. If I have something to say about it then I will come in. If not, then I mind my own business. In some cases I have the impression an article is just pandering to people within a certain niche without much impact on overall society. Do we, for instance, need articles about every Pokémon character, every Batman character, all main characters of a long-running TV soap? On the other hand I'm confident that these articles, IF well written and sourced, can be of interest to other people, therefore I don't mind them. All I try to do is be responsible for my own work. When in doubt about something I ask others for advice.
 * 4) This one speaks for itself. - User:Kjell Knudde (19:45) November 8, 2015 (CET).

And finally, 5. Let's respect English usage, as I discussed in the passage on dictionary meanings. The Young Man and the Swallow is all about the young man, his foolishness and false deductions. He and the swallow are not a duo in the dictionary definition. The most one could claim is that a fictional swallow is involved because of the fable's connection with the proverb discussed in the article. "The Miller and his Son" (not all versions even mention the donkey in the title) are a duo and the moral relates to their social behaviour, their responses to criticism. The donkey is not a necessary player because, as you imply when discussing another fable, any other mcguffin would have done.

I am making two points here. First, that it is not useful to count in elements of the story that play no active part; second, that you cannot treat the English language in the cavalier way you are suggesting, it only confuses the issue. My suggestion is that you stick to categorising individual elements of the story where it is useful and that you steer clear of dubious and controversial categories involving duos and trios that muddy the issue. Where I or other editors disagree over categories, it will be up to you to discuss the point on the talk page, not via reversion. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 20:11, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

I have agreed with almost every change so far and have even added some, eg Fictional trees under The Fir and the Bramble and Fictional plants under The Gourd and the Palm-tree. However, I have noticed that you have missed categorising the occupation of Bird-catcher/Fowler, a country occupation since Classical times and persisting, so far as I remember, so far as 1840 in Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor. I'm not suggesting you create a category just for that craft but one that takes in other country occupations. It makes sense if you're going to categorise all the fable and folklore entries. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 10:05, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, yes, I decided to finish all the work on the fables in one session. First I did the familiar ones (there are many about common animals, such as dogs, cats and lions), then went to the more challenging ones (out-of-date historical professions, less common animal species, plants and trees). Thanks for the appreciation and the additions. As much as I would like to categorize fictional fowlers/bird-catchers the profession doesn't even have its own page on the site. I could also only find three examples of fictional fowlers for now (The Bird-catcher and the Blackbird, The Fowler and the Snake and, of course, Papageno (who doesn't even have his own article)). Hardly enough to warrant a subcategory of its own. That's why I categorized them under "Fictional hunters". - User:Kjell Knudde 14:55, 9 November 2015 (UTC).

Cultural depictions
Hi, after closing your nomination at Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_November_30, I followed this up with related proposals at Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016 January 9 (and a few speedy proposals).

There are of course lots more "in popular culture" categories and pages that are not people-related. You might like to start at the top, Category:Topics in popular culture, and work down. – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:34, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

A useful tool to create nice looking refs from Google Books links
I noticed you added a number of items, along with references to List_of_anti-war_films.

In many cases, the references were the url to a Google Book link. I though you might be interested in a tool which takes a link as input and creates a (usually) properly formatted ref.

http://reftag.appspot.com/

I used it as an example for the reference for Das Boot.

It really helps creates a much cleaner list of references. I hope you will try it.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  14:54, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Cultural depictions
Please be more restrained in what you categorise as a "Cultural depiction". The criteria for putting something in a category are even more stringent than for a "in popular culture" section, it has to be the kind of WP:DEFINING characteristic that you'd mention it in the first paragraph of the article, not a passing appearance in Bill & Ted. So it should be restricted to biopics about the person, that kind of thing - usually films will mention the person in their name. Please have a read of WP:DEFINING and WP:Overcategorization before adding any more such categories, I almost deleted the Amelia Earheart one until I found some suitable films to go in it. And to be honest, this kind of stuff is not the most urgent thing to do with your time - have a poke around WP:WikiProject Film or other Wikiprojects to see what work is needed, the film cleanup list is here (big file, may be easier to download it and view it as a spreadsheet).Le Deluge (talk) 12:32, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * A cultural depiction is the appearance of a certain person in a work. The work should either be about him/her or have him appear as a central character to the plot. In Bill & Ted these historical characters are part of the plot of those episodes, thus it definitely counts as a cultural depiction. What I don't include are mere namedrops or references that otherwise have nothing to do with the plot or overall concept of the work. (Homer Simpsons mentioning Gerald Ford in a throwaway line: not useful. Homer meeting Gerald Ford in an episode: useful as a cultural depiction.) The categories and amount of works which feature said person ought to tell us something about his or her significance in folklore, popular culture or historical fiction. Amelia Earhart has enough biopics and appearances in time travel fiction to justify a 'cultural depiction' page of her own. Louis Blériot, on the other hand, has not. It's not that Blériot is less important than Earhart. It's just that he hasn't inspired as much pop culture depictions as her. Thanks for the suggestions of other things to do, but I've already contributed a lot to minimalistic film articles over the years. User:Kjell Knudde 19:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC).
 * We're not debating whether something is a "cultural depiction", but a "cultural depiction worthy of being categorised" - which means it has to pass WP:DEFINING. Have a read of that and WP:Overcategorization - if you still feel that you have a case then perhaps we should take this to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film to gain a consensus on where to draw the line.Le Deluge (talk) 22:28, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with your suggestion and respect your politeness concerning pointing the matter out to me. In some cases, though, 'cultural depictions' categories are still being filled with articles at the moment, so it may be a bit premature to debate whether they are full enough and therefore relevant enough to be kept? If by then there are still 'Cultural depictions' categories about certain people that may warrant debate then I'll be grateful to join the discussion and even accept certain deletions if there aren't enough articles in a certain category (at this moment) to justify its existence on the site. I'd would also like to thank you for tracking down more articles about Amelia Earhart for her 'Cultural depictions' category. Feel free to do so too with other too minimalistic 'Cultural depictions' categories. Sincerly, and with all respect. User:Kjell Knudde 0:23, 19 December 2016 (UTC).
 * This isn't about how full a particular category is. It's about not assigning a category based on a fleeting appearance in a film/cartoon. Have a read of WP:Overcategorization and WP:DEFINING, categories should be assigned to an article with restraint and not like confetti. It looks like we'll have to take this to WP:WikiProject Film.Le Deluge (talk) 12:18, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You've also made at least one apparently-erroneous addition. You added "Cultural depictions of Daniel Boone" to The Last of the Mohicans, even though he's mentioned nowhere within the article. Please be more careful. DonIago (talk) 14:17, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, not to pile on but I undid your Cultural Depiction of George Washington edit at The Patriot since George Washington only appears briefly in the film, which follows Mel Gibson's character in the central plotline.Yojimbo1941 (talk) 17:02, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Fictional characters who are able to fly


A tag has been placed on Category:Fictional characters who are able to fly, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs
Thank you for your recent articles, including Blondin et Cirage, which I read with interest.

Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK.

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including Blondin et Cirage, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:52, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Songs about Jesus
Please define in the category article what the new category is to contain exactly, because "song" is a broad term and needs a definition, and "about Jesus" the same. What makes a song "about Jesus", compared to "related to Jesus"? How does the new category relate to other categories? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:57, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

I noticed your addition "A list of all songs with lyrics about Jesus Christ ...", and can tell you that will be too many to be useful. Also: it's not a list, it's a category. If the article List of songs about Jesus existed, we would have a better understanding. Compare Category:Cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, where the scope is clearly defined by existing articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:57, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

cultural depiction nonsense categories
Video games like this have dozens of historical characters. That's a lot of categories to clog them with. I doubt anyone who plays these games would be curious to what other games would have that historical character in them. They can click a link to the actual person, and at the bottom of their page have a link to a list article listing where they have been featured at. That'd work out better.

Various new minor-planet categories
As far as I see, you created the following new categories (on 9 and 10 July, in boldface):
 * Category:Minor planets by source of name
 * Category:Minor planets named for biblical people
 * Category:Minor planets named for fictional characters
 * Category:Minor planets named for comics characters
 * Category:Minor planets named for fairy tale characters
 * Category:Minor planets named for film characters
 * Category:Minor planets named for literary characters
 * Category:Minor planets named for opera characters
 * Category:Minor planets named for television characters
 * Category:Minor planets named from literature
 * Category:Minor planets named for fairy tale characters (double parent)
 * Category:Minor planets named for literary characters (double parent)

Did you discuss these numerous new categories with any of the main-contributors such as ? There are more than 20,000 named minor planets, this potentially creates a huge backlog. Could you please explain your intentions? There are several issues here. Also, I'm currently doing a major revision on the minor-planet categories myself: is this just a coincidence? R fassbind – talk  04:08, 11 July 2018 (UTC)


 * - My dear sir, this is indeed just a coincidence and I happen to work on my own initiative. I see a huge backlog of minor planets and I just want to categorize them in order to make some sense out of them. Because, indeed, the list of these minor planets will just keep growing and, as I understand, there have already been some excellent Wikipedia articles trying to list them in chronological order and with explanations to the meaning of these names (the Meanings of minor planet names pages). The only downside is that one still can't really find out at once what kind of people or characters had an asteroid named after them? Even the one page which tries to list them altogether still doesn't name all of them, which is understandable as this would make this one page extraordinarily long. To me categorisation categories seem to be the best solution. I've already traced all the minor planets named after fictional characters by now and grouped them in the appropriate categories. Since characters from various mythologies are categorized too I feel that biblical characters could warrant their own category too, which I created. As for the minor planets named after real-life people I'm considering categorizing them by profession (actors, mathematicians, musicians, writers,...) and by nationality (Switzerland, India, Argentine, Japan,...). Yes, it would be much work, but on the other hand I foresee that in the not-too-distant future categorisation will become necessary anyway, as the minor planets pages will just keep on growing in the thousands. And then at least there is some handy overview. - User:Kjell Knudde, 11 July 2018, 12:15. (CET)

Thank you for your explanation. Here's a quick feedback:
 * As for your future plans to add subcategories to Category:Minor planets named for people (short "named for people"):
 * You need to discuss this (and get approval) at WT:AST
 * Note: we already had once a subcategory, Category:Asteroids named as an award, which was subsequently deleted. As a consequence, with the complete removal we also lost the parent categorization ("named for people", example). This means if you are creating new subcats, we run the risk that they will be completely de-categorized in case of deletion, which which would undermine all our previous work.
 * During my current (unrelated) category revision, I added the "named for people" category to hundreds of minor planets. So before creating an unsustainable amount of new sub-categories, the "named for people"-category first needs to be completely populated. I estimate that there are still a few thousand items missing (there are currently 12,457 minor planets in this cat; and counting).
 * Since there are so many items in "named for people", there is a certain risk that things will be abandoned before completion. So a broad support is mandatory.
 * As for your new categories you already created (above) and that are childs of parents Category:Minor planets named for fictional characters and/or Category:Minor planets named from literature.
 * I don' like the double classification of the last two subcats (fairy tale, literary characters). This is confusing. any suggestions? Somehow the two parents (fictional characters, literature) should be merged into one parent only. Although these two categories are much smaller, we should find a solution the sooner the better.
 * Postion of new categories: all minor-planet categories I mentioned so far should be places directly above the umbrella Category:Named minor planets, as the order of the categories does matter. I know, that is something that is not yet fully done, but I've been working on that for years now.
 * As for the category Category:Minor planets named for biblical people:
 * I understand. It's neither "mythology" nor "fiction" (well, we could get into a completely different discussion now). But the problem I have is with the identification. As new minor planets are named on a monthly basis this just add to more research before finding the appropriate category (I know what I'm talking about–I've have created these newly named minor planets for the last couple of years all by myself). What do you think, ?

, I hope this was informative. I know that the minor-planet categories can be improved and I appreciate that, but there needs to be some kind of understanding and mutual agreement before implementing new, potentially disastrous categories (for the reasons described above). I've spent hundreds of hours with tens of thousands edits on the subjects; and has certainly edited these categories 100,000 times. R fassbind – talk  10:37, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * , thank you for the ping.
 * , have you had a read through WP:Overcategorization? I haven't had time to look through all of the additional categories, but it looks like this guideline will apply to at least some of them. In terms of categorizing minor planets named after real-life people, separating them by country is only reasonable down to a certain point (perhaps 10+ for a specific country, or more?). For this to be a serious undertaking, that lower limit should be mentioned in the parent category, so that excessive categorization will not be performed by future editors. This also introduces an additional level of maintenance, so if you decide to do this, please be as thorough and complete as possible during the initialization of these categories, so that others don't have to do an initial follow-up check. Future periodic checks will still be required though, so it's generally best to get WP:AST input/approval when making significant changes to the categorization scheme.  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  14:54, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

It would be an absolute disaster to create "by nationality" subcategories in Category:Minor planets named for people. If not for the four reasons I mentioned above, then because of the fact that we don't even know the nationality of thousands of these people honored by a minor planet. And for those we know, there is often ambiguity (which will trigger a run-away creation of additional categories) and or controversy. (e.g. Soviet). If there is still someone who thinks it's a neat idea to have these categories, I suggest that this person tries to find out the nationalities of the 302 most recently named minor planets.

@:
 * I have gone through every of the approx. 350 edits you made on the subject between 9 July 2018 (14:43) and 11 July 2018 (14:46), and changed the position and the sortkey of the categories you added. In addition, I removed/replaced a few redcats you produced. I also re-inserted the double newline you removed between the categories and the stub-templates. There were also some edits that caused a duplication of identical categories.
 * Going through your edits, I estimate that $2/3$ of all minor planets received two categories from you. For example, the large majority of named for opera characters also have a named from literature category, which sits on higher level on a different branch. This double categorization (from different but close branches) is confusing, especially since the "opera characters" category has a brother, named Category:Minor planets named for literary characters, which belongs to both "named from literature" and "named for fictional characters" branch. In short this is a mess. I don't blame you entirely for this situation, since you had build upon the categories you already encountered. So here's my proposal: I will come up with a new set of categories that belong to ONE-PARENT-ONLY and that do not sound similar (e.g. "from literature", "for literary characters"). I will post this new category-tree here for discussion and feedback, before implementing .  R fassbind  – talk  17:04, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Luxembourg
Hi. If I remember correctly you contributed in the past to nlwiki (Dutch). My apologies if I'm wrong.

(next in Dutch, my apologies, but I usually prefer that if I can) Als ik het me goed herinner, draag je ook bij aan Lambieks Comiclopedia. Mijn excuses indien dit niet (meer) zo is. Op nlwiki draag ik (als een van de deelnemers van de Nederlandstalige versie van WikiProject Comics) vooral bij aan stripgerelateerde onderwerpen. Rond Kerstmis zijn er gewoonlijk 2 weken schrijfweken. Gewoonlijk is het thema een land. Dit jaar was het het thema Luxemburg. Over strips uit Luxemburg was er op nlwiki bijna niks (op een regel in het artikel "Luxemburg (land)" na). Gezien die schrijfweken leek me dat een gelegenheid om daar een beetje verandering in te brengen (niet dat er wrsl zoveel in Luxemburg is). Voor het schrijven van biografieën van stripauteurs gebruik ik meestal Lambieks Comiclopedia als een van de voornaamste bronnen (met bronvermelding dan). In de zeldzame gevallen dat ik dat niet doe, zet ik er dan minstens een externe link naar in het artikel. Tenslotte is de Comiclopedia een degelijke bron en als je puur kijkt naar het aantal biografieën van stripauteurs, dan vind je moeilijk een groter aantal op 1 site online. Zelfs Wikipedia op 1 taalversie overtreft dat geloof ik nergens. Echter heeft de Comiclopedia ook maar 2 Luxemburgse stripauteurs. Dus ging ik op zoek naar een alternatief. Dan vond ik het biografische woordenboek dictionnaire des auteurs Luxembourgeois. Dat staat volledig tweetalig (Frans en Duits) online. Het bevat Luxemburgse auteurs en ook stripauteurs zijn er in opgenomen. Via de zoekfunctie aldaar en een lijst op de Luxemburgse Wikipedia (lb:Comicszeechner zu Lëtzebuerg) heb ik uiteindelijk een aantal artikels geschreven. Het voorlopige resultaat kan je zien op nl:Categorie:Luxemburgs stripauteur. 1/2 die op Lambiek staat, heeft geen artikel omdat ik vind dat de anderen wat meer prioriteit hebben (en die is ook niet opgenomen in tegenstelling tot een tiental anderen in dat biografische woordenboek). Als ik dat biografisch woordenboek verder gebruik, schat ik dat ik aan 10-15 artikels kan geraken. Zo denk ik bijvoorbeeld onder andere nog aan Fern Weirich (heeft ook foto op Commons), Pierre Decock, Gast Zangerlé (hoge functie bij stripuitgeverij en stripscenarist, alleen hebben stripscenaristen zelden een lemma op Lambieks Comiclopedia), Lucien Czuga (stripscenarist, idem als vorige), Sabrina Kaufmann en misschien Claudio Sorgo. Allen hebben een lemma in dat biografische woordenboek. Nu ja, ik geef dit maar door mochten jullie inspiratie nodig hebben voor wat nieuwe lemma's op Lambieks Comiclopedia. Met dat mooie "The story of Lambiek" verschenen er namelijk een tijdje geen nieuwe lemma's meer en sindsdien is het tempo ook nog niet op het eerste zicht wat het daarvoor was. Nu ja, hoeft ook niet. Doe zo maar verder. Het is net als Wikipedia vrijwilligerswerk. Luxemburgse stripauteurs zijn ook wat ondervertegenwoordigd op Lambiek. Misschien is het de moeite waard om dat eens op te vullen met een degelijke bron.

You or I can answer in English if you prefer that. Even though I can understand English well, my English writing isn't always so flawless. So I rather communicate in Dutch if it's doable. That's why I do it like this. Kind regards.TheDragonhunter (talk) 10:48, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

John Tenniel
Thank you for adding categories. I do wonder a bit about adding surrealism to John Tenniel. If anything i would classify him as a romantic. Because of his association with the Nazarene School. Not to say that an artist can't be both, i just sense he is too early. Grotesque is not necessarily surreal imho. Fred (talk) 15:46, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Professional wrestling vs wrestling
Hey, thank you for creating Category:Wikipedia categories named after wrestlers, however please note that professional wrestling and wrestling are not the same and are not treated the same on Wikipedia. Wrestlers are added into Sport related categories, however professional wrestlers roll into Entertainment related categories. I have made these changes, but please keep this in mind for future edits.

Self-published
Kjell, while I appreciate your efforts on Wikipedia's coverage of animation history, you seem to keep adding self-published sources. See Questionable_sources:
 * "Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. Such sources include websites and publications expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions. Questionable sources are generally unsuitable for citing contentious claims about third parties, which includes claims against institutions, persons living or dead, as well as more ill-defined entities. The proper uses of a questionable source are very limited." Dimadick (talk) 19:16, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Mr. Dimadick, I gladly support any other reliable source, but sometimes there's not much else to be found. At least I actually add sources at all. I would also like to point out that I don't use blogs as a source, nor wikis, nor sites that are on Wikipedia's actual blacklist and have already retroactively replaced IMDB as much as possible the past months if I found a better source. And while I do appreciate your years in animation pages: it would be neat if you actually wrote a bit more in these self-created articles than just a few lines and no external links or sources whatsoever. I would save me a lot of time cleaning up these minimalist articles, doing research, adding more info and sources, all to make it a proper full-length informative page. So, if you are aware of better online sources regarding animation history: feel free to add them. I'm doing the best I can, but a lot of sources that are apparently unsuitable for Wikipedia (like IMDB, Find a Grave, fansites,...) are still listed as external links and sources underneath thousands of Wikipedia articles about (animated) films. Apparently no other users have removed them, so I take it that they are at least tolerated by most other Wikipedians. I personally checked of all of them and if they lead to nowhere I deliberately didn't use them. In some cases I have even replaced them if I found a better source. But in most cases, I admit, I've used these, precisely because they were used as source in other Wikipedia articles. So while I accept the criticism: I'm using the tools I can find and I don't see many other users providing any alternatives. I also appreciate your information regarding the issue and will try to keep it in the back of my head. Sincerely and with all respect. - User:Kjell Knudde 0:06, 9 September 2019 (UTC).

Carmen D'Avino
Are you the one who wrote the history on Carmen D'AVINO? I am his great granddaughter, there is alot of information left out of his personal life.

He was married to Elsie Forte before Helena, they had one child, a son named Anthony Carmen D'Avino, who in return had 6 children and 6 grands and 7 great grands plus step family. Anthony and Carmen had a falling out that lasted most of Carmen's life. The feud was over Anthony not marrying an Italian woman and not getting along with Helena, but they finally mended fences in 2002 ( once Helena was dead), followed by a family reunion in 2003 with Carmen meeting his grands greats, and his very first great great grand daughter who was a year old.

We have proof of all this, pictures, birth certificates marriage certificates and would like this cleared up please! We Exist, we are his blood, we are his descendants! Helena tried to erase us for years, but you cant hide your past forever!

fables, folk tales and fairy tales
Kjell, we have disagreed before but sorted out our differences through discussion. I notice you have begun recategorising as fairy tales some articles about stories described either as fables or (in the case of Henny Penny) as folk tales. If you look at the WP article on fairy tales you will see that this genre is entirely different from folk tales (of which they are a sub-genre) and from fables having a didactic moral purpose. I suggest that you address this question before creating further confusion. Sweetpool50 (talk) 19:24, 3 April 2020 (UTC).
 * I understand that folk tales are difficult to categorize by genre, so I'm not going to argue over that. All I did was check articles in the rather broad category Category:Fairy Tales so they could be recategorized into more specific categories. If some specific tales aren't fairy tales then just remove the category Category:Fairy Tales, because they shouldn't have been categorized there by others in the first place. - User:Kjell Knudde, 14:49, 4 April 2020 (UTC).

Avoid red links to categories
Please be more careful when it comes to edits like this. Categories are not the same as articles, you should never add red links to categories - per WP:REDNOT you should either create the category or not add the link. And frankly you shouldn't be creating. Per WP:EGRS you should only create women/men categories when "gender has a specific relation to the topic". Typical examples are sports where men and women compete separately, and occupations where one gender is rare - so there's a but not a corresponding, as women make up a small percentage of all astronauts. That's not true of gynaecology. Unfortunately people seem to have got it into their heads that all occupations need to be split into male and female, and while it can help to split some categories into more manageable amounts, it tends to just create lots of WP:SMALLCATs.Le Deluge (talk) 12:26, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Categories
Hello, and thank you for your contributions. Please consider some things before you make a new category:
 * A category should be created when it can include at least a reasonable number of articles. A category that only contain 2-3 articles may not be necessary. For example, the category "Female Morroccan pirates" will never include more than one article, because there were only one female pirate in the entire history of Morrocco, so there's no need for such a category. Please make sure that a category will contain at least more than 5-6 articles before you create them.
 * And also, be careful not to create double categories: for example, articles which are already in the "Italian Courtesans", does not need to be placed in the category "Italian female prostitues", because Italian courteans were also Italian female prostituties, so there is no need to place an article in both categories: that would be a double cat, which should be avoided.

Try to consider these things when creating categories! Best wishes--Aciram (talk) 18:26, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

I concur. Also, not every category scheme needs to be broken down by both nationality and gender. Slow down and avoid unnecessarily small categories. You are somewhat overzealous with your category creations. Thanks. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 20:16, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Obama debut
Kjell!

In this edit, you put the article under the category of 2008 comic debuts, when as the article notes, he appeared in 2007. I've got an obvious COI as writer of that appearance, but I ask that you consider whether a correction should be done (and, while your at it, change the credit for the Licensable BearTM story from "by Nat Gertler" to "by Nat Gertler and Lonny Chant", as I did not draw the work myself.) -- Nat Gertler (talk) 15:24, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Re: Point the Finger

 * The comic received additional attention in 2016, when Trump was elected president of the United States.

I appreciate your addition, and I added it to the body, but I’m not convinced it’s a good fit for the lead since it’s time-dependent and will quickly go out of date. The lead should provide a good general overview devoid of time dependencies. Also, I restored the material about sexism, as it comes from five different sources and is cited in the body.

New categories
Please create a category, such as Category:British women graphic designers, before adding it to articles. I found it redlinked in Rosalind Dallas, created it, and was astonished to find that it had so many entries already. When creating a new category, a useful technique is to work on the article, adding a redlinked category but not hitting "publish", then create the empty category, and immediately publish the article, so that no article ever has a redlinked category, and the category is only empty for the duration of a couple of keystrokes.
