Quickie Questions

Go To

This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.

e.g.

Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?

Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?

Get the idea?

Are we allowed to make pages for works that are not officially available in English? Or should we hold off until an official translation is available?

We have no such restriction. However, all work articles must be written in English, and the English title used if one exists. If/when a work is given an official English title (as opposed to a fan translation), the article should be moved to that title, with the original language title being kept as a redirect.

We have plenty of pages for non-English works that are interpreted by tropers. Official is just a priority.

Is it just the trope pages that allow video examples, or is it fine to upload for articles in the Sugar Wiki?

How long, on average, does it take for one season of a series (let's say...12 episodes) to be created?

Anywhere from a week to 3 weeks per episode, excluding contract work, casting and marketing. If you're planning 12 24-m episodes, a good studio would at least half a year focusing only on creation.

Re: What kind of information are you looking for?

  • Sorry I forgot I asked. Oververs will be nice. I found one that just lists them. but No voiceover and no info other than the image. So it didn't really help.

Has this meme image appeared somewhere on site / the forums, or am I thinking of some other source?

On the Pages Needing an Entry Pimp page, what does the (X/Y) format mean? Like which number represents the amount of pages something is crosswicked on?

Right before the ad on mobile. Easy to miss. Last line:

If you add a page to the list, also add the imbalance (wicks/examples), if possible.

That it's always the second number that's vaguer could be used as a mneonic.

Is there anything especially notable about the Leaning Tower of Pisa aside from the fact that it's leaning?

It was the site of some of Galileo's studies on gravity. Supposedly, by dropping two cannonballs of different mass from the tower, he established that the speed at which an object falls isn't dependent on its mass, going against the prevailing wisdom at the time (thanks, Aristotle).

D'Ocon Films Productions refuses to come up as the Wiki Word on the page itself does (D'Ocon Film Productions) (I had to use square bracket markup for this).

The URL is Creator/DOconFilmsProductions, but even spelt correctly, the apostrophe is absent, even though it is the existing custom display. What's going on here?
