I read the article on what is replacing featured videos, and I still don't know what a vertical is, 😂

TV/Movies wikis are verticals, for example. Gaming wikis are another.

Ok, so like a vertical market - but in this context it means wiki type. Thx

Hi Marcus,

All of that sounds good, and thanks for keeping me informed.

If possible, I'd like to see the raw stats data you collect - analysing it would be good practise for me.

Unfortunately, the best that can be provided are the collected data and not raw data.

Ok, what do you mean by collected data?

I just mean that the data that is collected is translated into the tables and charts.

That sounds interesting, tell me more.

For example, you can see https://strangerthings.fandom.com/wiki/Will_Byers on the right side, there is a module that says "Stranger Things Wiki needs your help!". When you click "Code Red" a pop up appears which shows pages that could use some focus on editing.

Yes, I like that - I'd be happy to see it on the WW wiki.

Hey, unfortunately the deadline for the experiment was a few days ago but we can still get the focus module implemented regardless if you'd like.

Hi Antonio,

Thanks for getting in touch, we're looking forward to working with you and Timeshade.

Hi,

I was just reading about the Official Community Partnership Program and I'd like to talk to someone at fandom about becoming an Official Wiki.

This seems to be quite new, is there a process yet?

Hello?

Hi TimeShade,

Thanks for letting me know. I'm not really a Discord user at the moment but I'll make a note of it.

Hi,

Yes, i read the update but thanks for the headsup, appreciated.

The update describes the process but doesnt give any indication of a timeline. Do you have a feeling for when tbis will have an impact on the Westworld wiki?

At the moment, there isn't a clear timeline since they want to ensure everything is done right. More details will be revealed down the road.

That sounds sensible - cheers

Hello Marcus,

Thanks for your message.

I've not heard of a Wiki Manager before. Are you Fandom staff? What do you see as your role at Westworld wiki?

I'm a part time contractor for Fandom. So if you encounter issues with coding, or there's a dispute that may need mediating, or need help with designs, you can shoot me a message basically I'm like on site support.

Ok, thank you.

We're basically waiting until next year and season 3 at the moment. So activity here is low and concerned with vandalism and the new season cast list.

I'm not sure what this change would add, especially as Ethnicity takes up less space (as a info box label) than Race & Nationality.

Thanks for your reply.

I just thought it would be more consistent with it's usual contents.

For most, if not all characters, we can only determine their races and nationalities based on their names, physical appearances, languages, accents, and what we know about their actors. But we can't determine which precise ethnic groups they belong to or self-identify with.

And I'm not sure human ethnicities apply to hosts, or if the hosts should be considered as an ethnic group in their own right.

Also, on several pages, the "Ethnicity" is inaccurate or unsupported, such as

• Clementine Pennyfeather - the ethnicity of Old Clem is listed as Armenian, which is unsupported. There're no evidence the ethnicity of the character is the same as that of the actress.

• Felix Lutz - the ethnicity of Felix Lutz is listed as Chinese-American (Hong Kong), which is unsupported. In Akane No Mai, he only said he's "from Hong Kong". It doesn't really indicate his ethnicity.

• Kissy -  the ethnicity of Kissy is listed as Native American, which is inaccurate. In The Original, the bartender refered to Kissy as "half cornhusker".

• Lawrence's Wife - the ethnicity of Lawrence's Wife is listed as Spanish American, which is unsupported. There're no evidence she's Spanish or American.

I just think that "Ethnicity" is kind of ambiguous. But if no one else feels this way, then I'm ok with it.

"Age" in Infobox/Character is also kind of ambiguous when it's used for host characters.

Does it mean how long the host has been created, or the age the host was built to represent?

I'd say that age, Ethnicity, gender and pretty much every other human characteristic, really mean Apparent Age, etc, when applied to a host. I'd say that these are all valid observations though.

We don't make that point anywhere in the wiki, we probably should. How would this be best done?

Nice catch with Kissy, please feel free to remove or amend inaccuracies and unsupported statements when you see them.
