BTVA

You can only use BTVA if there is a checkmark for the entry pointing to a screen capture of closing credits. If it is not checkmarked, then it is not confirmed. Please read WP:ANIME/RS for more detail. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 09:23, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

@AngusWOOF: Ok, so someone at BTVA would have to gather a screen cap and get it approved from their website? The listing of sources on the page you shared offers sources for anime roles. What sources are considered reliable for video game roles? Is there another page for details on that? Gameinfirmary (talk) 10:47, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

There's WP:VG/RS for video games. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:07, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk Page Links

Hello, I have found that when you sign your name on a comment page, like you did here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sleishman, if someone clicks TALK next to your name it does not go to the talk page I am on now, but instead to User talk:Finngall. Same person? ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 17:59, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Definitely not the same person. GI, if you used my sig as a template, you forgot to change the link to point back to your own talk page here. --Finngall ^talk 18:05, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

@Doomsdayer520 @Finngall My mistake and thank you for catching it. I used the code to figure how to color and change the font of the talk portion. Should be fixed now and if not I'll work on it now. GameInfirmary Talk 18:11, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. Looks like the immediate issue is fixed, but there's still a lot of erroneous links out there in the wild. I hope that you can take the time to fix them. Thanks. --Finngall ^talk 18:16, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

@Finngall Luckily, it hasn't been like that for a full 24 hours but I will work on fixing it up. GameInfirmary Talk 18:30, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Deletion Sorting

Hello, thanks for helping out with the Deletion Sorting process for articles that were recently nominated for deletion. However, please use this process sparingly because the deletion project pages can get overloaded. For example, you added both Crack Music and Sleishman to the Bands and Musicians sorting page, but neither of those is actually a band/musician article that was nominated for deletion. The first is a song and the second is a company. The deletion sort pages are frequented by people who have expertise on a certain topic, and Bands and Musicians in particular tends to get overloaded with actual bands. AfD listings on off-topic items can be a distraction, so please be frugal in this sorting process. Thanks. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:00, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

@Doomsdayer520 Ok no problem. I figured it would help as it is a similar topic and might get the right people to see it. although I certainly understand it can cause clutter in certain projects. If their are multiple similar options one can fit, I will pick the best option. Thanks for the advice. GameInfirmary Talk 18:16, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

ur sign is missing and wikilink is wrong. DBigXray 11:48, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! I fixed it. GameInfirmary Talk 11:54, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

umm still there. U are asking it to redirect it to itself ? its not making any sense. --DBigXray 11:56, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Now it should be all fixed up. Clearly this isn't my morning. Thanks for being on top of this. GameInfirmary Talk 12:41, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Hope you are feeling better now. Sorry to buzz here again. Appreciate if you can follow WP:REDACTED and add any changes only after striking the old text. Cuz I already replied to your comment, and now my reply to you, isnt making any sense. --DBigXray 15:05, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! Things have picked up a bit. It should be better now. I put the old incorrect tag back and striked it out and put the new tag next to it. GameInfirmary Talk 15:46, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saint Dismas Prison Ministry (2nd nomination)

Thanks for listing the above AfD. I apologise if this seems like canvassing, as that is not my intention, but the arguments at this AfD are hanging on the proper interpretation of WP:ORG. So I'm wondering if you would add it to the organizations list also? I don't know how, and by all means if you feel this is improper, just ignore it. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 17:55, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

@John from Idegon It looks like it is already listed in the organizations listing. I personally missed it and should have put it there. Luckily, someone else put it up in organizations. GameInfirmary Talk 18:28, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Visions (convention)

I think Category:Defunct science fiction conventions and Category:Science fiction media conventions are both applicable because they are both subcategories of Category:Science fiction conventions. They're not broader/narrower of each other. Fuddle (talk) 17:43, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

@Fuddle The train of thought is that we have a clear divide of what conventions are defunct and which are ongoing. I didn't want to mix defunct cons with the active ones. That said, I understand if you and others feel conventions should still be in the other categories especially notable conventions. GameInfirmary Talk 18:08, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

If we wanted to do that (maybe?), then there should be Category:Defunct science fiction media conventions. Fuddle (talk) 20:22, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

@Fuddle We could create that category. I believe there were 3 or 4 that are defunct from the science fiction media. I'm not sure if that would be too small for it's own category though. GameInfirmary Talk 20:58, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

There are only 19 total, so a subcat might be WP:OVERCAT.

@Fuddle Yeah, there are at least two points that would make it overcat. I guess IT can be left as is or move the ones back into the science fiction media category. Id' have to go back and check which others belong if that is the way we decide to go. GameInfirmary Talk 11:30, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

I added Category:Defunct events to Category:Defunct science fiction conventions which aligns things a little better.

@Fuddle That is fantastic! I added Category:Defunct comics conventions and Category:Defunct gaming conventions as well. I'm going to be on vacation until Monday and have limited internet access until then. I definitely want to continue to work on things if you see anything else that should be done. GameInfirmary Talk 01:36, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Enjoy. We can continue on Monday. Fuddle (talk) 01:40, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

After looking at the category trees, I think we should nominate Category:Science fiction media conventions for deletion. There isn't an article with that title. 'Media' means 'not books', I guess. Not really defining. Fuddle (talk) 20:27, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

@Fuddle That makes the most sense. The only other thing I could l think about would be renaming the category. Multimedia conventions is a possibility but there isn't a page for that either. GameInfirmary Talk 12:27, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

OK. I'll take a stab at deleting it.

Our logjam has cleared. Categories have been moved and/or renamed. Moving on:

• Category:Science fiction conventions in the United States. I have two issues with the scope note:

1. We should remove "annual". There's no mechanism for dealing with cons that aren't annual.
2. Limiting this category to active cons means we either have to do the same for the other "in [place]" cats, or we need to create Category:Defunct science fiction conventions by place. Fuddle (talk) 20:52, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

@Fuddle I don't think active conventions need to be categorized on whether they are annual or not. An active convention is active whether they plan a convention to be bi-annual, annual, etc. So yes removing annual makes a lot of sense.

Done.

I'm not opposed to creating defunct categories by location. My only issue with it is if a certain location only has 1 or 2 defunct conventions. We could then broaden the defunct categories but then we wouldn't have the active categories to match. GameInfirmary Talk 01:22, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

There are only 49 articles in Category:Defunct science fiction conventions and it looks like only 2 or 3 aren't American. So we can just create one new cat for defunct US cons. We can add other places and the container cat when we need it.

@Fuddle We could go with the title Category:Defunct science fiction conventions in the United States to match Category:Science fiction conventions in the United States.

Is there a reason to keep Category:North American Science Fiction Convention? GameInfirmary Talk 01:26, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Category created. I hadn't heard of the NASF Con before, but it looks like a real thing.

Ok, I'll start moving them over into the defunct US category. Also I will remove conventions that aren't associated with the NASF from the other category. GameInfirmary Talk 12:48, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Things are moving along. Now to cause more trouble: What do you think of Category:Multigenre conventions? It seems arbitary and there's no article, only a list with an arbitary definition. Do cons identify themselves as multigenre?

A lot of bigger cons are multigenre. The Fan Expos being the first that comes to mind. A great example is Dragon Con which currently going on. They get televisions guests, comic creators, voice actors, video gaming, and so on. I suspect more will go the multigenre route after the San Diego Comic Con judgement just the other week. There could be a multigenre article made. It would describe how conventions over time have evolved from single genre events to spanning a wide array of pop culture within one event. The fun part would be to find sources on the evolution and those that explain multigenre cons. Searching multigenre convention on google does yield a bunch of conventions that consider themselves to be such. GameInfirmary Talk 02:30, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

The category includes any con with 3+ genres, and that's not how categories should work. It should contain only self-defining cons, unless you can come up with a standard definition. And I'm not clear where it should fit in the category tree (it's currently level with and a subcategory of other types of cons). But it's all outside of my area of expertise.

I think multigenre cat should only be outside of the genre specific categories. You can still put a con in comics or gaming cat as well as multigenre. The reason why the term multigenre is so hard to define is because most cons don't advertise themselves that way. Attendees wouldn't understand what it is about. What they do instead is call themselves fan cons (which is even less clear to define but attendees understand) or simply list all of the genres they span by showing all of the activities going on during the con. I think we can define multigenre in a more clear way, I'm just not sure the best way to find sources to back it up. GameInfirmary Talk 22:09, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

A7 tagging

• Stellarcon (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
• ShadowCon (Oslo) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

You tagged two event articles above for deletion per a7. In both articles, you also added material to the article that said the events were defunct. In neither article did you add sourced material to the body supporting the status of the event. One of the articles had been nominated for deletion in 2011, and the result was keep. In the other article you reverted an administrator who had declined your a7 tag. First, you should never reinstate a speedy tag that has been removed by any legitimate editor, let alone an administrator. Second, you should not be making controversial changes to any article without support from reliable sources. Finally, you are obviously too inexperienced to be tagging articles at all. Consider this a warning or very strong advice. If I see similar conduct in the future, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:41, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

• I apologize in the event that I have made a couple of mistakes and did something incorrectly. Although I will say a search for the conventions online didn't yield results and even their websites aren't in existence any longer. GameInfirmary Talk 10:41, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
