Talk:Animania

message: :The event scored a mention in the Sydney Morning Herald on the second page of its main section.
Is a mention in a newspaper really that notable to include it like this in the wiki article? While the newspaper article can be used as a source, I don't think there is a need to mention the newspaper article itself beyond citing it as a reference.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheFarix (talk • contribs) 23:19, 14 March 2006  (UTC)
Well, I can see your point, and I think I only put it in so that there would be more than one "notable" event of that year, so its removal probably won't cause me too much pain. Of course, I think it was also poorly worded, since it wasn't just a "mention" but an actual article - the entire 2nd page article was the one linked which pretty much focused on Animania. That said, no, I guess it can go, but I wish I could remember something else memorable about it to replace it ^^; Confusing Manifestation 12:35, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable events

message: At some point (I would assume) Animania will fall into some kind of regular pattern - each convention will be fairly similar in terms of events, and the number of conventions held in each city will be constant as well. Even between 2004 and 2006 there isn't as much change as the jumps in 2003 and 2004, simply because of the handover from the clubs to Aurora. That was the reason I had all post-2004 conventions lumped under "2004 and beyond", although I'm willing to accept that can be broken up. However, I think it should be kept in mind that the article doesn't need sections on every single year, and could be best served with a single section describing significant events in each year, something like this (but in prose, not as a bulleted list):
* 2004: Run by Aurora, in Town Hall, a few notes on any new events
* 2005: Mini in Brisbane, new events at Sydney
* 2006: Brisbane and Melbourne, new events at Sydney
Then another section could possibly detail the common complaints, especially since they tend to be of a similar nature each year. Just something to keep in mind when you edit the article. Confusing Manifestation 15:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In other words, have something like "History" with subheadings "2002", ..., "2004-present", and then another section "Current Animania Structure" which details a "typical" convention of the most recent batch? Confusing Manifestation 13:51, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I pretty much did the History section as you requested (although I thought of it immediately and did it even before glancing here *smile* Good ideas!) Kopf1988 05:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  On documenting future conventions 

message: I was involved in the planning and execution of Animania 2002 and was a member of the 2002 Sydney University Anime Society executive committee. The article currently describes the 2002 event as being 'started by then-President (Founding President, 2001) and Treasurer (Founding Vice President, 2001) of SUAnime (the Sydney University Anime Society)'. I don't believe this is an accurate description and am concerned it downplays the contributions of a number of people who worked to make the initial Animania a reality. My recollection is that it was indeed Dexter and Louis who made the initial suggestion to do a convention but it was due to the efforts of all those who participated in its planning and execution that the event 'started'. There were a number of anime society executives who contributed and it would seem more correct to say the event was started by the society, rather than to highlight any particular individual. I can't seem to find any evidence for the statement and believe it qualifies as an unsourced controversial statement. Michael Camilleri 00:26, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to make sure everything's in the open, I'll point out that Mike voiced his concerns to me privately first and asked about the best way to fix things. I'm going to check the 2002 Animania pamphlet when I get my hands on it again to see if it can clear things up on the subject, and failing that I would agree that it would be valid to remove it.

replies: text: Sorry about the delay there. I did find the old programmes, and while they mention Louis as being in charge, they certainly don't mention it being his own "brainchild". What's more, the programme for the original one certainly doesn't make it sound like the work of a single club with "limited" help as much as a joint effort. I will fix this up shortly.

thread_title:  Starting the Event 

message: I've made a start on this section, including a photo courteously donated by commons:User:Adun (plus another one in the Halcyon section). At the moment, though, it's just got one bit on the cosplay and one on the move to ATP. I'm not sure how much more there is to say on the main Sydney event, but a bit more on the other locations would probably be an idea. Confusing Manifestation 01:06, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
