You know what?
You're right, wikipedia does suck, and I'm glad that you acknowledge that your entry isn't the only one being sent to the chopping block. There was once was a ClockCrew page on that site, but it got deleted because it was considered un note worthy. As you probably know, some members of the Clock Crew get lot's of awards too. I too may have a wiki entry (eventualy) And I hope that it doesn't get deleted.
-G.E.
See now, as much as I don't always like the Clock Crew cartoons, I really believe they SHOULD have an entry. They're huge! I honestly don't know if Fred the Monkey should be there, but I think regardless they need to do more research into what they delete. Certain things they think are non-notable are VERY notable, just perhaps not to them personally. And I have a problem with that.
Anyway, glad you liked the cartoon, and thank you for leaving a review!
Very Funny!
An example of nonviolent humor. This is hilarious, considering that Fred is going to have his entry deleted. Great job, as this is going in my favorites.
Thanks! Having something wind up in someone's favorites always makes me feel like what I'm doing with my time is worthwhile. =)
Thanks a lot for taking the time out of your day to write a review!
a word of fairness
To be fair, I think Wikipedia's kinda understaffed. The fact that they aim to make it free for everyone, and that they rely heavily on the community to write and edit entries, means that they probably do not have the resources available to reject entries in a more humane manner.
I got the implication that Wikipedia causes 90% of aspiring artists to give up their dream, although after reading it a previous review I got that clarified. I'm sure every artist, successful or not, has experienced the kind of heartless impersonal rejection that you mention. I think it kinda acts like a sieve; it separates those who would persist till the end from those who do not have what it takes.
Lastly, if Wikipedia was a site about the many different artforms, like Newgrounds, and they were treating aspiring artists like that, it may be justified in saying that they should know better. However, I believe that it's a site concerned with the free exchange of information, not with developing artistic talent. Hence, I don't think it is reasonable for them to consider the ego of artists, when it really isn't their concern, or even what their site is trying to achieve.
That aside, I liked your work. Just thought I'll say something in defence of Wikipedia.
Well I appriciate your review and comments. While I don't agree with you, you still have very valid points. One thing I must argue against though is your "Understaffed so it is okay" comment. Sorry, that doesn't fly with me. I don't like them using the excuse that they are too big for their own good as a reason for how they do things. But that's just me.
Anyway, thanks again for the review. Glad you liked the cartoon even if we don't agree. =)
Subliminal message!!

You love Chocoloopies!
Unfortunatly, i use wikipedia. Sorry
I have no problem with using Wikipedia, or supporting them or anything like that. I just think they need to know that there should be some changes to improve their service, and that is why I made the cartoon. That and to make people happier.
That sounds like a great commercial for Chocoloopies you made there. Nice job. Maybe I'll find a way to put that into a Fred cartoon at some point. =)
Thanks for taking the time to write a review!
