posted on my talk page, and several other active editors, so I am bringing the discussion here. I am going to save this to flag everyone's watchlist, and re-edit in a moment. Yngvarr (t) (c) 21:23, 5 January 2009 (UTC
- Given the complexity of it all, and the fact that my memory is shot, but Treelo will speak out and correct me where I am wrong... As far as I understood, the CN wikiproject never claimed Adult Swim material to be within our scope. The CN project is for original CN programming, developed in-house by CN, and those original properties which may be developed by third-party houses, but are still the sole properties of CN. That would mean originals such as Lazlo and third-party like EE&E. We've tried to start to get some of the Hanna-Barbera original materials under our belt, the stuff prior to the Warner split, with the possibility of excluding big-ticket things like the Flintstones.
- For Adult Swim, none of the material (AFAICT) is original to either HB or CN, and simply airs on the same broadcast space as Cartoon Network. That would make most of the actual AS out of our scope. There is anime that does air outside of the AS programming blocks, the Star Wars series mostly comes to mind, and those would fall into CN.
- Confusing? Yes, but not really, since, in my mind, it's mostly a matter of "who did it?". Yngvarr (t) (c) 21:28, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, there's a lot of original programming on Adult Swim: Category:Adult Swim original programs. However, I am hoping to form a consensus that the AS taskforce's scope can be considered as different from CN's. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:32, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Specifically the question is whether to retain User:New Age Retro Hippie's removal of "no anime" from the project scope, even though the Cartoon Network project scope also states "no anime" and is intended primarily for the actual original CN programming. In edit summaries, he says it should include anime because it is of interest to project members, but this seems like a poor reason to go against the primary project's scope. If members are interested in anime, they can join the anime and manga project as well. That's why that topic has a specific project. I'm just not seeing any actual good reason to expand the scope and overlap an existing project that already has far greater experience and ability to handle anime/manga project. I also do not see how it would be appropriate for a task force to have an almost completely different scope from its parent project. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 21:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Your argument seems to be that AS should have the same scope "no matter what", even though that would entail that the task force be able to cover nothing, as CN project also excludes shows aired on Adult Swim. So explain to me why the task force can cover Adult Swim but not anime, even though its parent covers neither? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Again, YOU created this task force without actually discussing it with the CN project at all, so it would be well within the CN project right to reject the task force all together and have it removed. However, since you have already created it, a secondary issue is whether it should even be allowed to exist, and if so, then the CN scope needs to be modified to note that it does not cover AS programming. That discussion is back on the CN talk page, however, and separate from this issue which is, if the AS task force is kept, should it cover anime outside of the CN scope. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 21:47, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Is this a matter of chain-of-command? I'm sorry if I have to ask such an ignorant question. Having an AS task force under the CN Wikiproject is not antithesis to the CN project. Forgive me for speaking in their place, but it seems that most of us who are active in the CN project (well, three of us, the more active/vocal ones) aren't necessarily interested in Adult Swim at this maintenance level. The CN Wikiproject has developed our own style guides, notability concepts, and so on, for which I presume the Adult Swim task force would agree to comply with. By the way, those are NOT antithesis to Wikipedia; we try to closely follow the general policies and guidelines, expanding when en.wikipedia is silent, but never in opposition.
- I would not state the CN Wikiproject does not cover anime. As I exemplified above, the Star Wars stuff is anime, but it is also Cartoon Network and definitely not Adult Swim. I'd be hard-pressed to find diffs, but I am pretty sure there has been discussion along the lines of "what to do about Adult Swim" in the past. Yngvarr (t) (c) 21:53, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Not really, New Age Retro Hippie keeps asking why it can't cover anime when technically CN doesn't cover AS. Personally, my view is that obviously CN is covering AS (even before the task force was made), so the CN scope should be modified to include AS under the task force since there do seem to be at least one or two CN editors willing to work on AS specific stuff. However, I do not think either AS nor CN needs to expand its scope to include anime (or really any other non-CN original programming), particularly when there is already a much larger and existing project for the topic of anime that better covers those articles. It seems to me that with 34 series + subarticles (at least 2 per article), the AS task force has more than enough work to last for several years just concentrating on cleaning up and bringing to GA/FA level those articles on actual original AS programming. Trying to expand out into the dozens of anime articles too seems rather stretching to me, particularly for such a small task force in a relatively small project. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 22:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) OK, seems we have an issue so let's get a little backstory. Adult Swim hasn't been part of our scope ever through part not having the editors who are focussed in that area and it not falling within our scope as it is a totally different beast. We did want to create a task force for the specific purposes of making sure the shows coming out of Williams Street got some attention as even though they're not within the main project they still originate and air on Cartoon Network so a task force made more sense than a fully separate project. Issue here is with the anime and off-network programming, it helps to focus on something that doesn't have much in the way of overlap and anime is very well covered by the anime and manga project like Collectonian says and doesn't need us adding yet another project banner on their talkpages. We don't cover a lick of anime (neither Star Wars series are anime) and for good reason, our focus is specific to what the network creates and outputs only, not what it buys in. I think expanding the focus of the project to include that which does get produced by Williams Street seems reasonable and I can't see why we need to give undue attention to series which are already covered well by other projects. Consensus has long been against including anime within the scope of the project so it should remain as such and it seems to be the case for the task force anyway. treelo radda 22:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Collectonian, your argument seems to have become that "anime and manga can only be covered by the anime and manga project". People shouldn't have to join the anime and manga project to collaborate on anime and manga - anime falls under the AS taskforce, you just don't WANT it to fall under it.
- And Treelo, not covering anime and off-network programming seems unnecessary - it's no disputing that InuYasha, Dragon Ball/Z/GT, etc. gained significant popularity due to having appeared on Adult Swim. Just curious, Treelo and Collectonian, what is your opinion on The Big O as being in the Adult Swim task force? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 22:13, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- If people want to collaborate on anime and manga, they must follow that project's stated guidelines for those articles, whether they join it or not. Part of the purpose of a project is to determine the appropriate guidelines for the layout, scope, and content within their articles, and the project members are primarily the ones who weigh in on discussions regarding the upgrading of those articles to GA and FA/FL levels. So ignoring the guidelines leaves the article at start class, which will only stay that way for so long before it is targeted for clean up by the project and fixed. This is the same as any major project. You can edit any article you want, but if you do edits that conflict with the article's topic guidelines, they will be corrected and the guidelines pointed out to you so you can learn how to edit them properly. Now, perhaps you personally don't care about having high quality articles, but the projects do (big purpose of any project), and you versus the project, the project will generally have the consensus needed to overrule your personal desires because the project will be backed by appropriate guidelines and policies, not just personal interest in the topic.
- And no, anime does NOT fall under the taskforce right now, as you have no consensus to change it at this point. And yes, InuYasha, DragonBall, etc, did gain some popularity, but by no means did the majority of their popularity come from their AS airing. (significant is arguable as well, as you seem to be completely ignoring that they are based on manga series that were significantly popular before being made into anime series). As for The Big O, its borderline as it seems CN was involved in making the second season episodes happen, but that needs clarified before I could say for sure if it should be in the CN project or not. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 22:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- The airing of those shows did add significant popularity. I'm not saying that the majority came from it, but AS was the only way for a lot of people to see these shows, or the only way people did see these shows. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 22:22, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
(undent again) Bah, I think it's starting to sink into my thick skull now, so forgive me again for being dense. What I think I'm seeing is an issue of the production details? Is it an original Adult Swim property, developed specifically for AS, but perhaps eventually airing elsewhere (that is rhetorical)? Is it a non-original AS which ultimately ended as an Adult Swim production, or just something that was purchased for airing? The Big O, since it was specifically mentioned, wouldn't fit into an AS task force. Yngvarr (t) (c) 22:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- To me, the anime series and the original productions which make up the vast majority of the AS output are too different to reconcile under one project. Popularity and/or enabling a wider audience doesn't translate into grounds for increased scope and brought in productions excludes most of the anime besides The Big O to such an inconsequential amount that there'd be no point in having The Big O as part of the scope. As before, we focus on that the network makes itself, not the things they buy in. treelo radda 22:33, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Half of the Big O show is produced in part by Cartoon Network, so it should apply. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 22:43, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Should in theory, in practise most likely not. treelo radda 23:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- And to clarify, no, this is not a ploy to get more anime added. The Big O just happens to be a show that's as much an Adult Swim show as Harvey Birdman is. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 23:06, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'd highly disagree on that statement but let's not bring this down to if one show should make it when you're arguing for a good deal more which don't have one half of it made by CN. treelo radda 23:18, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Since Adult Swim is (officially) a separate network from the Cartoon Network, wouldn't it make sense for the [adult swim] taskforce to be an independent WikiProject? That way, the members could freely decide what fall within its scope (without worrying what its parent project dictates). Meaning The Big O (anime or not) would be within its scope since it was promoted as an "Adult Swim Action original" (link).--Nohansen (talk) 01:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Is it officially a separate network? Where did you read that? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 01:08, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Adult Swim's article itself says so: "Adult Swim is an adult-oriented television network sharing channel space with Cartoon Network in the United States". Also, this bit of news from ICv2:
- "Turner Broadcasting's announcement last month that it will split Adult Swim from Cartoon Network";
- "As a separate entity, Adult Swim will be a formidable network"; and
- "Nielsen will begin reporting Adult Swim as a separate network on March 28th."
- It's been that way since 2005.--Nohansen (talk) 01:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Because the slot is considered a separate network for rating purposes you're suggesting it as a reason to create a project before the task force even gets started just so anime can be included in the Adult Swim cadre? Ugh, this is becoming way more stressful than it needs to be. treelo radda 01:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Actually no, I wasn't suggesting it "so anime can be included in the Adult Swim cadre". Retro Hippie was looking to "form a consensus that the AS taskforce's scope can be considered as different from CN" and I gave him a way to do it. In real life, CN and [adult swim] are separate entities, why should Wikipedia be any different? If a taskforce has to follow the rules of its parent project, then a Cartoon Network-Adult Swim task force cannot exist because WP:TOON doesn't "cover any adult swim programming". But there is another way: an Adult Swim WikiProject. As simple as that. That way, its members can freely define the Project's scope.--Nohansen (talk) 01:46, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- That's reasonable and just how I figured. If it means a lot that anime gets inclusion into the scope then maybe going off to create a new project would be the best way forward. Personally I don't see why it's such a big deal when other much larger and better skilled projects can take on the things we won't but I want to know where NARH wants to go with it before deciding anything else as it's very unlikely anime will be included if the task force is to go ahead. Saying that though, it's currently just the person who wants to start it who's a sole voice of dissident, maybe the biggest one but I'm saying consensus can change and just get it going before wanting the scope to expand. Guess it's just how big this got without even getting started beyond getting the framework done. Hope the task force stil goes ahead but it's ultimately NARH's choice what he wants to do. treelo radda 02:00, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- To me, a more reasonable choice would be that if Adult Swim is considered separate and shouldn't be a part of the CN project, then move this task force under the existing Television project rather than attempting to make this as a project (which would be its next logical place since its CN is also technically "under" the TV project. Of course, the TV project also does not include anime so that still leaves that whole issue. I disagree that its solely NARH's choice, though. It should be consensus base now that so many people have had their attention called to this task force. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 02:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Small straw poll
Let's take a straw poll so a consensus can be reached as batting around whether or not one show should be included or not endlessly ignores the bigger issue and yes, The Big O does count as a anime series even if one season did get co-produced. treelo radda 23:18, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose The project gets to decide consensus for task forces, the task force may be able to effect consensus for the parent project but cannot define it outright. treelo radda 23:18, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support The popularity of a lot of animes has been as a result of seeing it on Adult Swim. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 23:23, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose, agree with Treelo that the parent project decides the scope, including on task forces, and that adding anime to the AS task force directly conflicts with the existing CN consensus that the project focus on original programming and the network, not purchased shows and programming from other channels. The AS task force itself, a good addition to CN, but it has more than enough to focus on with the AS specific original programming without such an addition. I can also really see nothing good that could come from the task force attempting to overlap the existing (and well-established) Anime and manga project. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 23:35, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose I won't echo what Collect and Treelo have already said, and have said it better than I can. Yngvarr (t) (c) 23:47, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- OK, from the contributors so far it's a clear oppose towards the inclusion of outsider programming inlcuding anime within the task force's scope. I'd like to see if the remainder of people who were informed of this issue have any input but as far as I see it a consensus has been reached based on the project having final say on what scope the task force(s) below it have. treelo radda 23:59, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, how about: AS task force links to relevant projects - Anime and manga, Family Guy, Television, and Animation. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 00:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Providing links to the other projects seems like a good idea (and something CN needs to be doing too LOL). Much as the anime and manga project links off to comics because it does not cover any non-Japanese releases, even "manga inspired comics" -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 02:09, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose seems Collectonian pretty much covered it. Is there even a point to this task force? IMHO, too few programs are under its scope. Does anyone else think that it should be joined with WP:TV? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 00:06, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- There's no scope that covers AS articles. CN doesn't do anything with AS, and Television may once in a while incidentally collaborate on an AS article. There's dozens of articles about Adult Swim, and there's many task forces that have a much smaller scope (Devil May Cry, for example). - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 00:08, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- There's a Devil May Cry task force?! Wow, another WikiProject that needs to be scrapped ... Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 00:14, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- There was already a discussion, where it was determined worth existing, though it seems to be inactive. A task force is determined by activity and necessity, and no project has a proper venue to discuss Adult Swim in particular. There are many articles under its scope, much more than in DMC's. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 00:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

- Oppose All in all, WP:Cartoon Network is for Cartoon Network original programming. Anime has it's own separate project already, it's not like Cartoon Network is the only channel Adult Swim's anime shows air on. Driveus (talk) 03:03, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Where to now?
So, what's going to happen? I've been thinking on this and doubt an AS specific project could survive on its own and will remain a task force but where? I figure two choices are available:
- The task force remains here in knowledge that off-network programming isn't part of their scope.
- The task force moves off to the TV wikiproject where it may be able to get off-network programming as part of the scope.
If it's to stay here then links to other projects are fine, heck even we should be having more but generally we want good coverage for Williams Street programming first and foremost and figure it can be had here even if certain shows won't be included. I don't see AS as separate even if it is considered as such by Nielsen (it's just ratings) and figure here to be the better place. Consensus will need to be picked up on this decision so this task force can just get on with getting organised and working on articles so what's it to be? I'm somewhat indifferent but would prefer if the task force stayed under our project. treelo radda 02:28, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- I still think this task force should combine with the television project, like I suggested above. The scope isn't even all that huge. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- As one note, if its moved under TV, off-network programming could be included in the scope, however anime is still specifically not part of the TV project either. :-P I personally think that while AS is "separate" officially, its not really in any real sense unless/until they actually have their own channel (and I could have sworn they are now under CN again, but I forget where that most recent discussion occured), so having it under the Cartoon Network Project seems like a good fit. I doubt most viewers see it as being separate anyway. Sticking to original programming, it can be a nice, tightly focused task force concentrating on those core 34 articles noted above, and their subarticles, which seems like an ideal size for a task force (many are much smaller, see the Law & Order task force). -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 02:40, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Final thoughts
Ah, what would Wikipedia be without teh dramaz? I've decided that even with the limitations on anime and off-network programs that what is out there that can be covered is a decent amount and like others have said, there's enough content to keep the task force busy. Might not be ideal but the reasoning as to why off-network content should be included didn't stand against consensus so it shall be maintained. Many AS shows have been tagged already with a few which shouldn't be but good enough a point to start from anyway but generally I'm ready to continue with building the task force and I reckon the others who are part of the project are also. treelo radda 21:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Right, given my parting words a decent enough amount of time for anyone to add their issues so I'm considering this done. treelo radda 01:20, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
So, I guess we should just focus on AS original programming.
So what show should we improve first, then? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 20:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- The best thing to do right now is to get people to join up for the task force and ask them what they feel needs to be done. Doesn't matter if they're all-rounders or specific to one show, just as long as they've shown they're good editors. What to improve first though isn't a question I can answer specifically, I don't watch any of the articles so what would you say needs a bit of work? I know that a few shows have too many articles and may need to merge or cleanup some of the cruftier articles. treelo radda 21:38, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well, in my totally POV and unofficial assessments, I'd say that of the shows, the following are of top importance to improve: Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, The Venture Bros., and Metalocalypse. Of those, we should probably improve Aqua Teen Hunger Force, as it is the longest-running AS show that's not yet cancelled. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:59, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- Hm, sounds like a reasonable plan but you can't do this alone like I said. I just pull levers and help out, go recruit some people to your cause. treelo radda 22:46, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- One thing is that we could MfD the Metalocalypse and ATHF projects, since none of the members are terribly active and nor is the project. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 22:54, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- If they're dead or inactive then go ahead, if anyone wants to keep them then they might speak up regarding the existence of either project. Aside from that, you really, really do need to do a recruitment drive for this to work. treelo radda 23:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- I already contacted everyone on the project, and no one responded. Also, I'm aware I need a recruitment drive - no need to repeat it. I've already contacted some people. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 23:17, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- If they are dead or inactive, I'd suggest tagging them for merging here, give an appropriate amount of time for objections/discussions, then redirect here and CSD or MfD the subpages as housecleaning from project merges. If they have any project templates, they could be redirected to the CN with the AS tag added -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 23:22, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

(undent) Anyone mind me taking a back seat to things? I figure it should be easy enough, get the right people for the right jobs and assess some articles. I'd take Collect's suggestion here, much better than mine. treelo radda 23:33, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Joining task force
Thanks for the invite to the task force. Please let me know what I can do to help out (areas of expertise are mostly anti-vandalism, tagging articles and sometimes copy edit) =) DP76764 (Talk) 23:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- Copyediting would definitely be great, a lot of articles could sure use it. I believe we should focus on copyediting ATHF and featuring that, as it is AS' biggest original show. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 23:23, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I recently took Bring me the Head of Boba Fett to AfD with the result redirect. Please join the discussion at Talk:Welcome to Eltingville#Merge pilot over the extent of the pilot's plot summary that should be included in the article. —Ost (talk) 18:32, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

The article has a number of verifiability problems. Can someone please work to address these ASAP? (Anything not immediately referenced must be moved to the talk page (or a subpage thereof) until someone can work on it.) I'll review the changes in two weeks. --AlastairIrvine (talk) 04:02, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
