Talk:Jeph Jacques

message: There is an interesting quote on Jeph's tumblr about the origins of Deathmøle: 
:"The style of music I write for Deathmøle actually started out as a joke- I wanted to write and record a really stupid metal song, so I did, and it turned out to be really fun. So fun, in fact, that I started writing more 'serious' metal tracks, and that’s basically how the music evolved." 
While I think the quote is illuminating, the Deathmøle section is getting large. I'd prefer to avoid the section getting too bloated. Should the quote be included? Include a slightly shorter version with ellipses like 
:Deathmøle's style "...started out as a joke- I wanted to write and record a really stupid metal song ... and it turned out to be really fun. So fun, in fact, that I started writing more 'serious' metal tracks, and that’s ... how the music evolved."
in between the two existing paragraphs, or just leave it out? 50.39.112.109 (talk) 07:12, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I see the rumor about him dying in a car crash is back. I suspect that, once again, it's faked (as it is completely unsourced and he's been posting on twitter as recently as 8 hours ago as of the writing of this.)
Consequently, I'm removing mention of him being dead from the article. If someone has a source for him dying, feel free to re-add the claim, along with source. 121.73.172.126 (talk) 09:47, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Should the note about the (death) rumour be kept ? I think it would be a good idea because im sure some people will goto this page looking for more infomation abou the "death" --2005-07-04 10:10:28 (UTC)
:Not if Wikipedia was the primary venue of the hoax, no. That would be enshrining a prank pulled on Wikipedia, and be self-referential to boot.  — Saxifrage | ☎ July 4, 2005 20:24 (UTC)
::I think it'd be better to leave it. I understand the concern about Wikipedia's reputation, but I think vandalism and pranks in articles like the such of the Pope's are worse in that sense (or even actual articles -no joke intended, although it'd seem they are pranks- about Reptilian humanoids invading the Earth or any occultist or gnostic or pseudoscientific article). Also, if we were to hold that view of protecting all institutions reputations, they'd be no science nor religion nor nor family (just as examples) anything. Science and religion and family are still beating and kicking despite all the hoaxes, pranks and evildoings. So, I don't find it damaging to the Wikipedia, and I think it speaks well of Jeph Jacques and also it is a notable event about him (making him more notable) that his death was hoaxed. That's why some (including me) had suspected Jacques himself was behind all of it (but he was not, I think) dalegrett 4 July 2005 21:36 (UTC)
::It was also mentioned by word of mouth and on Jeph's forums ( and IIRC another web comic ). --2005-07-04 21:57:37 (UTC)
:::I'm not worried about Wikipedia's reputation when I say self-reference is bad, it's just a general policy here to avoid talking about Wikipedia in articles—it's amateurish and smacks of self-importance. Rule of thumb to avoid self-reference: if Jeph Jacques got an entry in Encyclopedia Britannica, would that article mention the Wikipedia hoax? I think likely not. From what another editor mentioned above, it sounds like this was the work of a single person who didn't actually put much work into it except by saying "he's dead" on IRC and on Wikipedia. Above all, Wikipedia is not for stroking the ego of some prankster. Thus, I still think it should be left out.  — Saxifrage | ☎ July 5, 2005 09:30 (UTC)
::The hoax originated on Wikipedia. The prankster edited the wiki first and then created an account on the Questionable Content message board saying something to the effect of "hey guys have you looked at the wiki entry for Jeph lately, it says he's dead."  The moderators assumed at the time that it was probably Jeph's doing as he was spending the afternoon with another webcomic artist who had previously faked his own death so the mods played along a little although they referenced a fictional location from the comic Wigu as the scene of the accident.  Jeph happened to not check the internet before he went to bed that night and things started to mushroom since he had no knowledge of the hoax and didn't find out until the next afternoon.  It was a pretty minor event and not worthy of notation. --209.6.13.99 7 July 2005 08:25 (UTC)
Move to Bad Jokes and Deleted Nonsense? -- 81.79.114.138
:Definitely not.  Even if it hadn't originated on Wikipedia (which evidence strongly indicates it did), it's not notable.  I would urge people to watch to prevent similar vandalism, rather than endorsing it.  Superm401 - Talk 04:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Should we mention that Jeph often refers to Sam Logan as his rival/adversary/nemesis?65.95.112.163 (talk) 04:30, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not necessary, although we could merely point out that they have a close professional relationship...if you can demonstrate that in a verifiable way (such as by giving links to several guest comics they have done for one another, and links to the QC newsposts in which Jacques mentions Sam Logan).  None of that stuff should be put in the article, though, until someone finds enough sources (like the stuff I mentioned above) to make it valid.  --Politizer (talk) 23:38, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The new image on this article could be better; it doesn't give a clear view at all of Jaques' face.  (Not to mention the fact that it just isn't a very flattering picture--there are much better ones of him out there!)  I'm working on trying to get a better picture--right now I'm waiting for an e-mail response to see if I can get permission to use this picture.  This article also has a good image, but I haven't been able to get in touch yet with the writer and photographer to ask about permission.
If anyone else has a fair use image already on Wikipedia that we might be able to use, please let us know on this talk page!  Thanks, --Politizer (talk) 23:38, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

message: : Since its inception, Jacques has periodically released individual Deathmøle songs through his LiveJournal or his Tumblr ....
"Periodically" means with a consistent length of time between such releases.  Is that the case?  If not, make it "occasionally". —Tamfang (talk) 06:06, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I took a new portrait photo of Jeph today (right) and thought it might be useful for this article. I have no strong preference for either the current photo or this one, but would be interested in your opinions. I also took many more pics of him drawing sketches for fans, but haven't uploaded this quite yet. Thanks! Dcoetzee 08:12, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The new photo from earlier today was removed with the reasoning being that there was no evidence of it having been released under a free license. Would these two tweets by Jeph Jacques be considered sufficient evidence of the same?

replies: text: No because he only released it under a non-commercial(NC) licence. He's been told which licence to use so he probably doesn't want it on Wikipedia that much. -- haminoon (talk) 23:42, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Hey all - wondering if Jacques's participation in the recent group of verified twitter users parodying Musk should be noted on his Wikipedia page as his tweets & screenshots of them went fairly viral, and caused Jacques to lose his account. 
Here is an article discussing the topic in general that mentions Jacques as a participant (https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/elon-musk-twitter-impersonators-suspended-manu-saadia-trekonomics.html) - thoughts?
