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?

Did we lose like 20 pages recently? Was updating Tropes By Wick Count 1500 To 4000 and I'm seeing a lot of numbers go down.

Does anyone besides me watches over "Popular with furries" clean-up thread? Because I wrote there two proposals that I would like to consider with others whether they might fit.

Bringing this from this post of mine:

  • However, there is one thing that interests me. Around the end of the trailer, a huge flock of geese appears, and I wonder if flocks of geese can reach such sizes in real life, because I don't remember any documentary that would show such a large flock of birds. Can someone inform me of this matter? Because if that's not the case, then it could mean that movie takes place in the future where humanity lives in Solar Punk civilization allowing animals to bounce back after sixth extinction, explaining this humongous flock appearing near the end of the trailer.

How you create redirects for WMG pages?

Like any other? [[redirect:WMG/PageName]]?

[up] Then how I should type this?

Also, can you answer my previous question concerning The Wild Robot (2024)?

[up]If they had an answer to your earlier question, they would have given it. I'm sure they saw it.

And before you ask, I don't know either.

[up][up] - "Then how I should type this?"

What do you mean? Copy the code I put and change the page names to what you want? Use your Sandbox to test it out if you need to.

What’s the origin of the word "Woobie"?

#11490: May 20th 2024 at 5:15:15 AM

For the curious, the fanspeak term "woobie" is ultimately derived from a word for a blanket, stuffed animal, or other soft object that a child keeps for its comforting properties (hence the name—some of these characters really could use a snuggling!).

Hey, is it fine if I completely vanish from the site and return months later due to being busy with school? I feel a bit bad about being gone for so long, lol.

Alright, spread out, team. Those things could be anywhere in the building.

Of course. School takes priority. You can post about it here and at relevant threads if you feel like giving a warning.

In character pages for theatrical productions, should one caption images of the characters with who was acting the role? Cos play/musical characters rarely have a "canon" appearance, and many actors may play the same role at different times, so it seems important to mention.

Why have images in the first place, if appearances don't matter much?
