Talk:Fan Expo Canada

message: According to the article:
::Critics and various other convention organizers are also quick to note that when a three day pass is purchased from FXC, the same individual attendee is counted as attending three times, thus inflating the true attendance numbers.
Anyone know anything about this?--み使い Mitsukai 14:58, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Attendance Controversy

message: By doing some research by using the older version function and google searches, it's apparent that people working for/associated with this expo do not want certain public information available.
"Criticism"This was incredibly vague. If they are specific complaints/concerns, they should be listed.) 
Detailed information can be provided for criticism (example: external links), but people such as jtkirk1760 (a Fan Expo Canada Employee) have removed them previously, thus making your request rather redundant.  Is it considered standard practice by employees to hide facts that do not give their product a glowing review? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toronto-SMOF (talk • contribs) 
:I've tagged the statement as needing a cite from a verifiable and reliable source. Please see WP:CITE, m:Cite/Cite.php, WP:VERIFY, WP:NPOV and WP:RS for details. The last one is particularly important because anyone can put up a webpage spouting off nonsense, but a non-editorial news article would have much greater credibility. I've also removed several addition that do not conform to WP:NPOV, Wikipedia is not a soupbox to spout out your POV. --TheFarix (Talk) 03:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The link cannot be used per my comments above, it is an "unreliable" source no matter how much it may be true. However, if there are news accounts of the problems, then those can be included, with the sources properly cited. --TheFarix (Talk) 12:12, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I added some links about the criticism: one from Paradise Comics, one from a comics news site and a thread started by a Hobby Star employee from a comics related message board. The Paradise Comics bit is a news blurb from their official web site about the competing event so I figure is reliable and covers their point of view, a balance to the Hobby Star site which doesn't say a thing about hosting an event a week before a competitors event. The comics news site shows a bit of the "industry" reaction even if it isn't a larger publication and the message board thread covers what some "fans" are saying and some reaction from a Hobby Star employee. Lando242 17:56, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

text:  Quite the valid turn of events to note.  Also of interest is the semi-annual alterations of this article (by employees? Again?) to remove the least flattering information about the event such as the threatening and harassment of dealers and attendees.  The youtube link of the weapons bust in 2004 got taken down because of a bot removing it, yet even that news is relevant to the history of how hobbystar operates.
Yes, I used to work on the Paradise show, and now I work on the Fan Expo... that's no secret, so who cares if it is there or not. I'm inclined to, from time to time, add factual information on the next upcoming event. I'm definitely against deleting old news, but I'm also for fair and unbiased reporting. There was a particularly nasty time in Toronto's convention history 2004-2006 and we've all learned from the experience and hope that the lack of complaints since 2007 speaks more loudly than words. It's been over two years since there has been any public issues raised - if I'm wrong, please add the link. I don't think old links should be deleted, but hearsay and opinions need to be backed up by facts. If the facts are out there, it isn't difficult to find the link. --kevthemev (Talk) 03 July 2009  —Preceding undated comment added 21:10, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alterations and Removals (vandalism?) by FXC/Hobbystar employees 

message: It is found at www.hobbystar.com in the Fan Expo link under the conventions section. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.118.108.222 (talk) 05:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation on attendance 

message: Who ever is making the alterations without merit and placing unfounded and irrelevant opinions in the place of facts provided in reference links to news stories and other documentation should stop.  The references available highlight both positives and negatives and are far greater merit than fannish politic opinions without any merit.  Links with information from volunteers, attendees, dealers as well as news articles have a far greater contribution than this vandalism. - An observer from Milton.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.248.175.14 (talk) 19:10, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Return of vandalism and unfounded statements 

message: I have responded to a request for a third opinion at WP:3O. I have had no prior contact with the editors involved and have not previously edited this article, so am sufficiently neutral to to comment.
There appears to be a dispute about content. Controversial edits that lead to a dispute need to have reliable sources to support them that allow verfiability for other users. If content additions are reverted by other editors please cite them appropriately. Furthermore, wikipedia is not a crystal ball and we should not be including information that is speculative, we must report fact.
kevthemev, you note on your user page that you organise or help organise this expo. That means you have a strong conflict of interest with this article. You should consider whether it is appropriate for you to edit this article having read the page I linked to.
Finally, a lot of this article seems unsourced. It is not the responsibility of wikipedia to maintain a history of this convention, as mentioned before all information should be provided in verifiable, reliable sources that wikipedia can report on as a tertiary source in its role as an encyclopedia.
I will keep this page on my watchlist to see how the debate develops and I might even come back in a few weeks to take a look at the article in view of the lack of inline citations and seemingly unreferenced facts. This seems like an article with potential but at the moment I think it is falling short of the requirements of wikipedia and should be improved by all the editors involved here.
As a PS, it is not necessary to wikilink every single occurence of a word. Once is normally enough. The Metro Centre is certainly linked too many times! Bigger digger (talk) 20:33, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Third opinion

message: I attended the Fan Expo in 2001 and spoke to two original Star Wars actors who sat near Traci Lords. One was Paul Blake who played Greedo, the other was an Imperial Officer. I can't remember which one he was or the actor's name. If you've got the info, please pass it along. TimothyPilgrim (talk) 11:00, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Help Identifying a Guest 

message: So I made and edit with references and realized that this article didn't have proper referencing.  So the links at the bottom may need to be edited to fit in the .  I have a midterm that I have to leave for, so I may consider doing it in a couple weeks (after midterms) if no one else can do it.Mattkickbox (talk) 17:53, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: I propose that CNAnime, GX (gaming expo), SFX (Science Fiction Expo), and Rue Morgue Festival of Fear be merged into Fan Expo Canada. Most of the content is identical to Fan Expo Canada. These events for the most part no longer function as subevents and are now fully integrated parts of Fan Expo. Esw01407 (talk) 02:11, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with this idea. --PatrickD (talk) 21:49, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not think it is a good idea. Even if they are not merged, they existed more distinctly in the past. The Fan Expo Canada article does not discuss them and if it did so, I worry the detail in which they would be covered would be compromised in effort to focus on the recent incarnation. 174.92.134.248 (talk) 08:35, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

text: Rue Morgue discontinued their association with Fan Expo in 2015, so at the very least the Rue Morgue Festival of Fear page should remain un-merged for archival purposes. SPKx (talk) 16:54, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: Most American events like this are held in Las Vegas.  Which is far away from New York City.
If Americans can have huge events like this far away from their nation's biggest city, why can't Canada?--Atikokan (talk) 03:01, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why Toronto. 

message: What links exist between the two? I know that the Alberta Expo organizes Calgary while Informa organizes Toronto, but are there any links like shared sponsors or people who work as staff on both expos? How strongly does what happens to one affect the other? 64.228.90.1 (talk) 16:01, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I've attended Fan Expo in Vancouver since it started four years ago. Should it have its own section? 
http://fanexpovancouver.com
It is made by the same company, informa exhibitions, that does Fan Expo in Toronto.
A 5 minute search unearthed a number of sources.

replies: text: , I suggest we split this into multiple articles. This one should be renamed FanExpo Canada (Toronto) and the one you seek to cover FanExpo Canada (Vancouver). See Karachi Comic Con and Comic Con PK as examples.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 05:29, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vancouver Fan Expo Section? 

message: The tables need some serious cleanup. Can the information regarding each of the expos be placed in a History section?  Also, does it matter that the expo has a power outage for a few hours or were extended? Or that certain events got moved to different venues? Or that certain guests did not attend? Does it matter that someone got married or proposed to at the event? Why isn't any of this cited properly?  AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:31, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
