Nominations closed

[koraki]

Hello! Nominations are now closed. 

There is a lingering question about what duplicate tags are listed under Dragon Age. Once this question has been resolved and the duplicates removed, signups for the 2021 round will open. 

Please check the tagset and comment here if you notice anything else amiss such as misspelled tags, duplicate tags, or misassociated/migrating tags.

Hey there! So I'm noticing some potential confusion with multiple versions of a fandom being nominated. The example I'm looking at is Marvel 616 and X-Men (Comicverse). X-Men comics are part of the overarching Marvel 616 universe, and several characters have been nominated under both. This may also apply to "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon" (which is an "all media types" fandom) and "Sailor Moon (1992 Anime)." It might be worth combining these sets of fandoms?

Also, "Arthur Curry (DCEU)" is showing up under DCU, while "Mera (DCU)" is under DC Extended Universe (right after her counterpart, "Mera (DCEU)").

Thanks so much for running this fest! I'm really looking forward to signing up. <3

Hello!

Thanks for the heads up about the migrating DCU/DCEU tags.

As far as the question about combining multiple versions of a fandom... we can definitely do this (someone else is asking if Dragon Age can be combined into AMT) but it will delay signups opening by at least a day -- possibly longer due to mod IRL commitments -- since this issue was not raised until after nominations closed. I'm also not familiar with any of the fandoms people are asking to be combined into AMT (Sailor Moon, DA, various comics) and would need guidance on which tags are duplicates vs. which tags refer to different characters with similar names.

Hm, that's tricky! Nobody likes sign-up delays, but I have to say, in this case I would personally support them, because redundancies like the ones I'm seeing in Marvel Comics/X-Men might significantly affect matching (although I'm fully willing to admit to bias, since that's one of my primary fandoms, and my favorite character is one of the ones nominated under both iterations).

You're the mod; ultimately, it's entirely up to you. I'd be more than happy to help with the information you're requesting in fandoms I'm familiar with (which doesn't include DA, unfortunately), but I get it if you'd like to just run sign-ups as-is for this year.

Either way, thank you!

Hi! Since my last comment I was able to successfully combine Sailor Moon and Dragon Age without too much hassle. I am happy to fold X-Men into Marvel 616 if you can let me know what duplicates exist there.

[reflectedeve]

Oh, fantastic! Thank you so much.

These are the duplicates in Marvel 616/X-Men (Comicverse):
Jean Grey
Jubilation Lee
Laura Kinney
Rachel Summers
Rogue (X-Men)
Wade Wilson

Thank YOU for pointing this out and for your help! Everything should have been folded into Marvel 616 now, please let me know if it looks OK or if there is anything more that needs to be done to clean it up.

Looks great to me! The only thing I’m noticing as I read through the Marvel 616 list one more time is: I’m not terribly familiar with her, but I believe Gwen Poole and Gwenpool are the same character (those are her given name and code name/alias, respectively). Apart from that, I think we’re good!

[koraki]

Very good! I will combine those two into a piped tag: Gwen Poole | Gwenpool.

Thank you for your help here :)

Hey, my pleasure! Thanks so much for all your hard work running this event. <3

There's something similar going on for "DCU (Comics)" and "Batman (Comics)," where characters are nominated multiple times over in spite of those technically being the same canon. I noticed this earlier but wasn't sure if it was supposed to be a feature or a bug for folks since I'm fairly new to exchanges, myself.

I'm also a little confused about the floating "Batman - All Media Types" that I noticed just now, which results in triplicates for some characters under the Cartoons & Comics & Graphic Novels header.

Hi! I am not familiar with any comics fandoms so I could not answer the question of whether it is a feature or a bug for whoever nominated those tags.

If somebody familiar with DCU is able to provide information about what might be the most logical way to handle this in the tagset, since signups have already been delayed to handle the Marvel 616 tagset cleanup requests, I am happy to perform any requested tagset cleanup for DCU as well. If somebody familiar with DCU cannot advise on this, I am going to leave everything as-is.
