searching for offerings: delicious!

[fiercynn]

Hello all! help_pk_mod has kindly given me posting access so I can clarify a little about the way that offerings are tagged on the help_pakistan delicious account. I find that people tend to tag in many different ways, so hopefully it'll be helpful to have an explanation

Re, Sherlock, I know lots of things that wish to diffrentiate the recent tv series call it sherlockbbc or a variant. The movie could be Sherlock2009. I don't know, though.

Also, this is awesome. Go you!

[fiercynn]

hmm, what do you think about fandom:bbcsherlockholmes and fandom:sherlockholmes2009, and possibly fandom:sherlockholmes(books)?

Incidentally, which one would you like your offerings tagged with?

[snowishness]

Hmmn. Well, for the bbc the Holmes should probably be dropped, since the name of the series is just Sherlock. And you might want to start with sherlock and then put bbc, so they all alphabetise nicely together?

For me, it's the bbc version.

Ah, I did not realize that! I was just thinking how annoying it was that all the newest adaptations in things like Star Trek and Sherlock Holmes just use the original name, making it more confusing, but apparently I was wrong. (Well, not about the 2009 movie. That's still irritating.)

In that case I'll just make that one fandom:sherlock and clarify in the post. Thanks!

Wow, that's great work! Thank you so much for going to the effort of doing this - it makes the offers very easy and comfortable to navigate.

I do have one remark:

Arashi, Johnny's Entertainment and jpop (JE) are all the same fandom. I'm not sure how to change the tags to reflect this, or whether it makes sense to change them at all, but I thought I'd let you know, just so it's out there. *g*

Arashi is a jpop band, as are KAT-TUN, NEWS and Kanjani8. All of these bands belong to the entertainment company Johnny's Entertainment, or JE. And it's all Japanese pop music, or jpop. ;-)

Maybe - if the tag Arashi stays - there should be a tag for the other bands as well? Or alternately, everything could go together under "jpop" or "johnnysentertainment"...

[fiercynn]

Ah, got it! Hmm, as someone who knows more about JPop than I do, what do you think? Will people be okay searching for different bands under a monolithic tag? Given that American bandom is under one tag, I'd prefer to do it that way, but I also don't know the fandom. And if so, would Johnny's Entertainment or JPop be a more accessible name for said tag?

[rheasilvia]

A single monolithic tag should be fine - everyone will know to check for their bands in it, and considering there probably won't be a great number of offers in total, I do think this makes the most sense.

And IMO, "johnnysentertainment" would definitely be the better tag. "jpop" can also include artists and bands that aren't part of Johnny's Entertainment, like mega-star Gackt or the Visual Kei people.

(If you want, and if there is any doubt in future where some offer that might be jpop and/or Johnny's Entertainment belongs, just ping me.)

[fiercynn]

Thanks! And I'm sure I'll be asking you for clarification again. :D

(once again, thank you so much for doing this! ♥♥♥)

[fiercynn]

haha, no problem! I actually really enjoy tagging things - weird, I know - and it's a great form of procrastination from the piles of readings I have for next week!

[fiercynn]

hey, so (awesomely fantastic) fact that the offerings page have started to explode means this is getting to be a bit much for me to do by myself - I've edited the post to ask for help with tagging. I hope that's okay? Or if you know anyone else who's been looking for a way to help, maybe you could refer them to me?

[help_pk_mod]

well that is both amazing and terrifying on your behalf! I'm sorry for the workload and it's totally okay to edit & ask for help. I'll also poke around and see if anyone's interested and get back to you :)

thanks again for being such a sweetheart and volunteering to do this!

[emerald_embers]

My Sherlock would be fandom:sherlock as I'm a BBC girl, not a books/movies girl. <3!

[fiercynn]

thanks!

[fiercynn]

Yes! Strangely enough, at the point that I made this post there weren't any vids being offered. Now there is a tag! Thanks for reminding me though, I'll update the post.
