Further Questions for Nominators

[jenn_calaelen]

Thank you for your help so far. We are discussing and working on the issues reported so far - these will all be sorted before signups.

The following questions have come up during the open tagset vetting. We need to hear from the nominators to resolve these. Please link to your nominations page when you reply.

• If you nominated Outlander (TV),

I saw a couple of corrections:

In Vatta's War - Elizabeth Moon, "Rafe Dunbager" should be "Rafael "Rafe" Dunbarger" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatta%27s_War). The archive canonical is incorrect and we make this change to the tagset every year, so if you get the chance to ask the regular wrangler to have a look at this one it would be great. :)

In The Wood Wife - Terry Windling, the author's name is incorrect - it should be Terri not Terry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terri_Windling). "Fox" should be "Johnny 'Fox' Foxxe".

Thank you for all your hard work!

Thanks, I've added these!

There are definitely some corrections/queries that I recognize from previous years... Not enough to counteract them, apparently.

I nominated "Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major" (my nominations page). In the tagset, he's now under "Punic Wars RPF" as "Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus". I nominated the way I did, despite it being a less common way to refer to him, to avoid any possible confusion with Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus Africanus Numantinus since, as you can see, "Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus" can refer to both.

I want to make it very clear that my nomination was for Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major, not Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus Africanus Numantinus. Thank you.

We've added this to the fix list. Thanks.

One of my nominated characters (link), "Brother Nathan", was rejected - I suspect this may have been due to confusion with another version of the same character "Nathan Summers (Cable and Deadpool)", which was accepted. I'd argue that the two should be considered distinct and could therefore be nominated separately, as the Brother Nathan character is a distinctly different alternate universe version, appearing only in a single issue.

Confusing things slightly, I nominated Brother Nathan under "Deadpool (comics)", whereas "Nathan Summers" was nominated by someone else under "Cable and Deadpool" (a specific Deadpool-related title, and thus a subset of the former). There's a case to be made that Brother Nathan would be better placed under Cable and Deadpool too, as that's the specific title he appeared in, but that's probably best left up to the mods.

I've marked this for discussion, thanks.

[morbane]

Thanks. We rejected this as Brother Nathan does not appear in the comic title nominated, even if the comic he appears in is "functionally" part of that set - that is not felt to be a sufficient connection.

Not the nominator, but Mike (Justified) should be Mike Cosmatopolis. His last name was never mentioned on the show (or if it was, only once or twice), so people in the fandom usually refer to him only as "Mike", while people would use the full name for Mike Jackson.

[morbane]

Got it - thank you! Since one person has already expressed that they find just "Mike" ambiguous, we will probably use the longer name.
