Nomination Queries

[lbdmod]

The results of our poll were precisely split as to how people will prefer to be notified. As a compromise, we are going to have one, real-time updated Nomination Queries post (here) and then when a chunk of additional ones have been added, makes additional posts for people who track the community. We will also let the discord channel in EAD know whenever we add queries. (Invite here, 18+ only: https://discord.gg/7VSEuV9)

We will make a variety of little changes without making a note in this post; if you have a concern with our changes, this is the right place to let us know.

Last Updated: 14 May 11:08am UTC

As a reminder, please disambiguate your noms. It slows the process on our end considerably when we have to retype everything with disambiguation.

Resolved Queries

Iron Man
Tony Stark (Iron Man) went wandering, so he is now Tony Stark (Iron Man Franchise). Let's hope he stays home this time.

Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic (Video Game)
Are the following characters properly disambiguated?

• Malavai Quinn (SWtOR)

Ambiguity in disambiguations disambiguated for mod.

DCU (Comics)
Could the nominator of the following tags revise them so that they're disambiguated with DCU Comics:

• Kara Zor-El (Post-Flashpoint)

If there's no change to them by May 6th, 9:00AM UTC, we will change them along the lines of "Pre-Crisis!Kara Zor-El (DCU Comics)."

Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Main Video Game Series)

The one below is good. I was imagining only the 7 books.

Harry Potter Original Series - J.K. Rowling

[lbdmod]

Excellent! Change made, thanks you.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks! “Star Wars: The Old Republic" is the same as "Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic”.

SWTOR’s the common abbreviation, the game doesn’t actually have Legends in the title. Sorry they drifted!

[lbdmod]

Thank you! I accepted them.

[asymptotically]

Found a duplicate!

Acina (Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic (Video Game))
Darth Acina (Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic (Video Game))

I nominated the Darth version, but probably keep the version that's just "Acina" since her title can change late in the game.

[lbdmod]

Thank you! Darth Acina deleted.

[(Anonymous)]

I nominated Arisato Minako and I've gone in and deleted it. Thank you!

[lbdmod]

Thanks for letting us know!

DCU

[sirvalkyrie]

I changed the format for the Kara ships. Sorry about that, I'd used that format in other exchanges without issue.

Re: DCU

[lbdmod]

No worries, I just approved it!

[(Anonymous)]

Whoops I nommed a dupe! Castiel (Supernatural) is also in there as Castiel (SPN). Could you cull my (Supernatural) one?

[lbdmod]

Done, thanks for bringing this to our attention!

[(Anonymous)]

👍 Trainer Red disambiguation. Thanks for your work!

[lbdmod]

Awesome, thank you! 👍

[ashling]

Duplicate:
Sansa Stark (Game of Thrones (TV))
Sansa Stark (Game of Thrones TV)

[lbdmod]

This has been corrected.

Final Fantasy VII Remake

[sirvalkyrie]

Not my nomination. But I can give info about it. Final Fantasy VII Remake has notable divergences from the original and official word has gone back and forth about if it is part of the Compilation, if it's going to diverge further, if it's going to remain relatively the same in future games.

All of those characters listed do appear in Final Fantasy VII Remake, though for Remake Jessie should be Jessie Rasberry. https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Jessie_Rasberry
AO3 hasn't changed their tags yet to reflect her having a canon last name.

Andrea Rhodea and Madame M only appear in Final Fantasy VII Remake. So depending on your status as mods they might or might not also go in the Compilation.

Everyone else you listed appears in both Compilation of Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Additionally, Reno (Compilation of FFVII) has wandered into Final Fantasy VII Remake. He does appear in both the Compilation and Remake.

I hope this info is helpful.

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake

[lbdmod]

Thanks for the info!

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake

[(Anonymous)]

Hi! Just letting you know that Reno has indeed wandered BUT I would personally like him in the Remake section as well as Compilation. I've just now nominated him specifically for Remake since I wasn't certain if the mods normally deleted wandering duplicates or not and didn't want him to get taken out at the last moment. Just giving you a heads up!

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake

[lbdmod]

Noted, thank you! I've approved him in the remake fandom for now, and we'll keep this in mind when we're doing our general tagset cleanup and sorting out all those wandering tags.

Re: Wandering Tags

[lbdmod]

This has finally been taken care of, thank you!

[convenientalias]

I nominated Azula (though not Sokka) and I'd prefer the nomination to just be for the animated series. Sorry I'm only clarifying now.

[lbdmod]

No problem, thank you for clarifying!

Nominator for Rivers of London

I wanted both the comics and books. My nomination page - https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/4225/nominations/151147

[lbdmod]

Thanks for letting us know! Would it be suitable if we change this to Rivers of London (AMT)?

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

I’m fine with that change but as the comics and the novels are by Ben Aaronovitch the canonical is normally kept an people who want just the novels are separated out. It’s not like a lot of AMT fandoms, the comics and novels are the same continuity and characters and plot lines introduced in either medium carry over to the other medium with no reintroduction.

[lbdmod]

Thanks, that's good to know! We're going to keep the nomination as AMT for clarity, but if yourself or anyone else wishes to write for this fandom, you're welcome to select your canonical based on fandom convention rather than sticking to the nominated tag.

[everysecondtuesday]

Question: for the sake of this exchange, how are you handling the Marvel Comics multiverse? I'm not sure if you mean only 616 for main continuity and whether I should nominate Ultimates Tony Stark under its own subfandom or under the larger umbrella. I'm perfectly happy to get Ults!Tony/616 characters if I end up requesting it if that makes a difference.

[lbdmod]

Heya! Sorry for the delay in addressing this. I just wanted to touch base with you to let you know that we're currently discussing the best way to handle this and will get back to you ASAP.

[lbdmod]

Thanks for your patience with this! You're welcome to nominate Ultimates Tony Stark under the Marvel Comics Umbrella.

Wandering Batwoman and a misspelling

[sirvalkyrie]

Wandered into DCU (Comics)
Kate Kane (Batwoman TV)

Under Puella Magi Madoka Magica you have "Tamoe Mami (MSMM|PMMM)" it should be "Tomoe Mami (MSMM|PMMM)"

Wandered into Marvel (Comics)
Matt Murdock (daredevil tv)

Wandered into Arrow (TV 2012)
Kate Kane (Batwoman TV)

Re: Wandering Batwoman and a misspelling

[lbdmod]

Have also gotten these, hopefully they stay put!

[luvbarryfefe]

Hi, I was going through the tags tonight and happened to notice Elena Gilbert on The Vampire Diaries (TV) is nominated twice. Just thought you'd like to know :)

She's nommed as Elena Gilbert (The Vampire Diaries TV) and Elena Gilbert (Vampire Diaries)

[lbdmod]

Thanks for letting us know! We'll keep an eye out when we're doing our general tagset cleanup.

[(Anonymous)]

I left this on a different entry and I'm not sure the mods saw it. Sorry for the repeat.

I've found some wandering tags:

In The Aeneid - Virgil:
-Cassandra (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore)

In The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien/The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types:
-Éowyn (Tolkien) is showing up in both, I'm not sure where she was originally nominated

In The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types:
-Kili (Hobbit Movies)

Thank you for all your hard work!

[lbdmod]

Thank you so much! For Éowyn we'll keep her in both, but fix her disambiguation. We'll put these on the list of things to sort when we do our tagset cleanup, much appreciated!

There is a duplicate character in the fandom Stranger Things (TV 2016):

Thank you, this has been corrected!
