Stacy is one of the major characters in Phineas and Ferb. She is the best friend of Candace. While reading through her wikia page , I found out that she is a Japanese American.

I didn't know that Stacy is a Japanese American.

Mithrandir

@MovieReel The only indication that I'm aware of is her last name, "Hirano", which is a Japanese location and could indicate that that's where they came from.

Nog Shine

@Mithrandir I didn't know her full name until I saw her wikia page.

Does anyone call her by her Surname?

Mithrandir

I'm... not sure.

Q: Why doesn’t Everett react to Big Dan’s beating?

Q: What happened to the Joker after The Dark Knight?

So avoiding the obvious reason the Joker wasn't in The Dark Knight Rises, what was the reason in the film for The Joker not appearing? Is he locked up in Arkham? Clearly it's not Blackgate due to the breakout.

2:08 PM

@AnkitSharma This might be a first start:

I figured I would add an image similar to the one from Google that you posted in the middle, just the text of the different genres stitched together as a crossword puzzle, but in pure white text and with the screenshots (possibly more faded) below.

But that being said, the images themselves actually represent the genres already, so we could as well just use it as it is, as long as I find a way to enhance the images' contrast a little more.

I considered various wordings, like "Watching more than just SF&F?" or "Watching other genres than SF&F?", but I feel like the current wording is best. The genre thing sounded verbose and the "just" felt strange. I also didn't like SF&F being abbreviated.

A J

@NapoleonWilson Impressive, very nice!

Napoleon Wilson

It should be possible to subtract the red out of those images somehow and then enhance their contrast based on that. But I really don't know much about GIMP beyond simple copy/paste/transform stuff.

Nikhil Eshvar

Need a better caption and some work but how's this... ANd for people believing my "rad" skills... It's not soooooooo "rad" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Napoleon Wilson

Meh.

Nikhil Eshvar

Need a capion rework definitely

Any suggestions

And the picture format too

Napoleon Wilson

Not really. (Other than "every question", of course.)

Nikhil Eshvar

Consider this a working title :D

Napoleon Wilson

And why just Batman? All of that stuff is on-topic there, too.

Including the comics.

Nikhil Eshvar

2:49 PM

Wanted to contrast the multiple formats he appears in

Napoleon Wilson

Well, but we're not really about multiple formats. We're about one format, with multiple content.

They're about mutliple formats, with one content.

A J

A better idea: Post a picture of @NapoleonWilson with M&TV shirt and with caption "Want to know how this person got the name Napoleon Wilson". ;-)

Nikhil Eshvar

@AJ The 3rd point will SHOCK YOU!

Well, his half-smile will definitely bring some users to this site. ;-P

@AnkitSharma I made the border of the filmstrips a little darker, maybe that makes them stick out a little more altogether:

@NapoleonWilson That also looks good, but what about my idea? ;-)

Mithrandir

So... Why not migrate all SFF IDs to SFF, where they'll stay open and improvable instead of leaving some here locked?

Napoleon Wilson

@Mithrandir discussed on meta: movies.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4090/49

@AJ It's creepy and I don't like it? ;-)

Mithrandir

@NapoleonWilson yeah... I'm not seeing any mention of only migrating the ones that would get deleted?

Napoleon Wilson

@Mithrandir Really?

Maybe we just attributed that to common sense then. ;-)

Mithrandir

3:22 PM

(looks again)

Yeah, still not seeing anything.

Napoleon Wilson

Hmm, okay then.

JAD

why would migrating only the deleted questions be any different to migrating all?

that would mean you would only get the subjectively worse questions with the same problems in the process

Napoleon Wilson

@Mithrandir Isn't it in Shog's answer at least.

Mithrandir

No... Unless I'm missing something.

JAD

> Start on your meta. Build a list of questions that you think would benefit from being migrated to your site and collect some reasons along with each one. Don't just say "all questions in our tags!". That's neither going to happen nor is a good approach - do you really want to swarm your new community with old content?

> do you really want to swarm your new community with old content?

more specifically, the old content that didn't get upvotes

Mithrandir

3:27 PM

> Criteria:

must be about sci-fi or fantasy
must be unwanted by M&TV (either a score of <5, or no answers scoring >2, or both)
must be high-quality by SFF's standards (i.e. enough details for a unique match)

Napoleon Wilson

> If and only if the folks on SFF decide they want a given set of questions, the folks here can make quick work of reviewing them to ensure nothing that would be kept will be moved; at that point, the Stack Exchange Team can mass-migrate the entire set.

We really really need to get that reading-up-on-things-before-they-happen business rolling a little more here. ;-)

Mithrandir

Yeah. I'm asking why you want to leave them here locked and frozen in time, with no way to improve them, rather than sending them to SFF where they could be improved in the future.

That answer doesn't address that question ;)

Napoleon Wilson

And I'm asking why you're asking this now rather than a month ago, or at least 2 days ago.

Mithrandir

Because I wasn't involved in this whole thing... I was busy with other things. I know I'm coming into this very late.

Admittedly, those are more common on book IDs than movie IDs.

@Mithrandir If there are unanswered ones, you can ask mods for migration. However, it doesn't seem a good idea for reason 1) those who asked them weren't seen for a while or never returned 2) most of them, I'd say none, has account on SFF, so how they are gonna find it after migration.

In the end, you won't be helping them either.

Napoleon Wilson

3:52 PM

@AJ But that's what they already do, and it's already going to be implemented. He isn't talking about unanswered ones, since they already made a list for those and they will definitely get those questions migrated already.

@NikhilEshvar As I said Batman is not really a good contender here as it’s fully on topic there

Nikhil Eshvar

4:43 PM

ALright will revamp more

Napoleon Wilson

The approach of holding onto one content in multiple forms doesn't really fit, though, because that's exactly what SciFi already is for.

It's a different viewpoint at site scope.

Ankit Sharma

And it’s better to target non sicif stuff

Like godfather , breaking bad, James Bond like stuff

Napoleon Wilson

The approach might work when building on a SciFi property and extending it to derivations of it that are not SciFi. But that's a tricky thing to do, since often those derivations are either on-topic or at least controversial.

And concentrating on a single property also comes with the general danger of seeming too narrow, but that might be a subjective impression.

@AJ @NapoleonWilson How should such post be flagged? movies.stackexchange.com/review/late-answers/71907 . Last time I flagged such as "low quality" all were denied. So this time I passed then and they got deleted. So would "low quality" flag been appropriate?

Napoleon Wilson

Depends what you mean with "such post" specifically, and also what your last flags were and on which posts.

Paharet

It was long time ago.. when my "low quality" flags were rejected. So I stopped adding them. The question is should I have flagged this as low quality? It is deleted by you and AJ as you see.

I have red numerous "low quality" posts on meta, but there is no definitive answer. Everything is subjective. But would have that fallen under "low quality"? Or why the delete?

Napoleon Wilson

Depends. In that case it was not only guessing, but also guessing what other answers had already explained in detail.

@NapoleonWilson Yeah, guessing would be more accurate way to describe his posts. But again, how these should be flagged or not at all?

Napoleon Wilson

I don't know, it depends. I guess "low quality" is a good idea in that specific case.

Honestly, "low quality" flags are often a mess.

They mean something like "I feel this is too bad for just downvoting, but it might be countable as a genuine answer. Please someone else take a look at it".

Sometimes they're a good choice, sometimes they're not. When is really hard to answer, though. Even harder than in the "not an answer" case, and that can already be difficult sometimes.

There might be some related guidance here (and in posts linked from there):

In my experience... The VLQ and NaA flags amount to the same thing: Delete this please.

Napoleon Wilson

It doesn't hurt to flag if you're unsure about a post's validity. But it might as well happen that others disagree with the flag. Or that the moderators disagree. Or that you're getting a higher chance of the moderator disagreeing handling it than the one agreeing. ;-)
