Small thing: when you create DM and Whatsapp, which I hope you will, category:Video chat has already been created, and both Skype and Chat would also be candidates for category:Instant messaging, in all the same categories except vision. 22:28, November 22, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Comics

 * I think it will be fine (I'll be travelling the next week or so, so no edit conflicts should happen).


 * I'm not 100% sure on that, but I believe the reason we use the Publisher's summary rather than writting our own is because they actually exist for comics. For TV stories, only synopsis are availlble, and they're rather inconsistent. Thus, every (well, unless the publisher decides to change it at some point of publication) comic book will present the same summary, but not every synopsis for TV stories will be the same. This way, by choosing a synopsis to be used as our summary, we would essencially be plagiarising one of the many synopsis, whereas, with the comics' summary, we would simply be presenting what the publisher tells us. (You might want to contact User:Shambala108 or User:SOTO for checking on that, though).


 * As for posting only the summary of the first issue on multi-issues stories: I always though myself this was an error, and all the summaries should be posted on the page, but that's probably a topic for a future thread.


 * Concerning the character "blurb introductions": I don't personally pay much atention to them, but I know they make a board description of the character. Keeping in mind that most (or all) relevant information presented there will already be at the character's page at some point, I ,personally, don't think they would be of great interest to any pages.


 * Anyway, don't worry about breaking my "well-established methodology". I guarantee you no such thing exists (at least, I try not to have any, since this is a community, and I'm only one of the contributors; my edits for sure don't overweight your's, on anyone else's).

 * I guess I'll put my little Canadian dime in here. If a summary is taken from the comic, it should say "publisher's summary", I would think. Otherwise, it would seem to violate Tardis:Plagiarism. As for multiple publisher's summary, my gut feeling is that they should all be included, but there should probably be a discussion on that, as it might get long, even repetitive in some cases.
 * TV stories don't have publisher's summaries, of course. You can't flip them over and read what it says on the back. So we write original content for those, which I suppose ideally should be the standard for all forms of content (ha, forms of content). I always write original summaries for short stories, but for some reason a lot of those just have a "summary" section, rather than both summary and plot. There are some inconsistencies to perhaps be discussed. 01:21, December 29, 2016 (UTC)

RE: plagiarism by anonymous user(s)
That is definitely an issue. Thank you for informing me. Regardless of whether IMDb is a valid source (which it isn't), Tardis:Plagiarism makes it quite clear that plagiarism from anywhere is against the rules. As they're not registered, there's not much of a real point in leaving them a message. And it would make an easier cleanup if it was all under the same IP. How long have these edits been going on? 15:18, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh jeezus. 4 months worth of IP user plagiarism. RecentChanges only seems to go as far back as 1 December. Perhaps the only way to really deal with all of it is to somehow get a complete list of the IP addresses involved. 22:13, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * I've brought the issue up with some other admins including CzechOut. I hope we can find a good way to fix this problem. Again, thanks for bringing this to my attention. 22:31, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * It would definitely be very helpful if you could help compile a list of IPs, if you're feeling up to it and do in fact choose to do it. 23:19, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! I'll keep you updated. 23:26, December 30, 2016 (UTC)
