A Dana Terrace page! Woohoo!

[edit]

@User:Littlemissmitchie, reposting this from what I had on your talk page, as it is more appropriate to go here... Feel free to use the sources I have here.

I actually had the same idea myself, but I never got around to it. You could do some searches, but here are some sources from the fandom pages which might help you build your page, apart from her Twitter, Instagram, and tumblr:

That's all I could find for now. I hope these help. Historyday01 (talk) 03:10, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you can find sourcing for it (which definitely exists), you can add back in the text by KHeartsQT:

Dana Terrace has found jobs in Disney as a storyboard artist, revisionist, director, and show creator. She graduated from The School of Visual Arts in Spring 2013. Terrace originally worked as a storyboard revisionist on Gravity Falls, but by time of the 31st episode, she became a storyboard artist on the show. Eventually Dana moved on to being a director on the first season of Ducktales 2017. Now, you can find her working on the production of her own show, The Owl House.

The same applies for the text in this edit. Good luck! Historyday01 (talk) 03:15, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual orientation

[edit]

Does policy support stating her sexual orientation in "personal life"? I see we have some sources for the claim that The Owl House has LGBTQ themes, so it seems relevant to her art, but it reads a bit like personal trivia at the moment without a clear connection to her work (not to mention the obvious double standard re: not explicitly stating straight people's sexuality on their articles). AleatoryPonderings (talk) 15:59, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AleatoryPonderings, WP:BLPCAT seem to be the most relevant BLP guidelines that I can find, in which case her sexuality is relevant because a) she has publicly stated she is bisexual, and b) it is relevant to her work on The Owl House. Not sure whether it should stay in personal life though. Emflazie (talk) 17:49, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Emflazie, I'm not quite sure if BLPCAT is relevant since it seems to be about categories? My view is that if we can find at least two secondary sources (i.e., not an AMA or tweet) that explicitly link her sexuality with her work, then it should stay and either (1) be integrated with "career"; or (2) stay in "personal life" but clearly state that it is connected to her work. I just want to avoid the appearance of stating her sexual orientation as if it's a mere factoid or curiosity, rather than something noteworthy and connected to her television work (as it seems to be). AleatoryPonderings (talk) 17:56, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AleatoryPonderings, in particular BLPCAT mentions that sexuality categories should not be added to a page unless the above criteria are met; for lack of another policy (that I can find) this is what I would go off of. As far as the connection between her sexual orientation and her work, I believe she has mentioned it in the articles cited, I'll take a look. Emflazie (talk) 18:05, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

LGBTQ representation in the Owl House

[edit]

A lot of the information describing LGBTQ representation in the Owl House seems to be a duplicate of what is written in The Owl House. I think Terrace's role in creating these characters is an important aspect of her career that should be covered here, but most of this stuff doesn't need to be said twice. What info should stay here, and what info should stay on the Owl House page? Emflazie (talk) 00:24, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I agree with linking to that section on here, partially because I wrote most of that section originally. So, I'd say that Terrace's role in that representation should be highlighted here, with some of the content here easily moved onto that page. Historyday01 (talk) 18:45, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pronouns

[edit]

Dana Terrace uses the pronouns "she/her" per her Twitter bio.

There were some edits claiming that Terrace used "he/him/they/them" pronouns: [1] [2] [3] [4]

These edits were likely motivated by this tweet, where she answers a fan asking the pronouns of The Collector, a fictional character in her animated series The Owl House.

I hope this clears up the confusion. Merko (talk) 01:12, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
