Sounds great. Give us a link when you've got something up so the rest of us can pitch in.

Ooooh! Do it now! Do it nine times!

Posted By: photozzI once heard that Hijinksensue is entirely responsible for the significant decline in the hetero penguin population. I have included a chart for the wiki.

I can neither confirm or deny my participation in "Project Backdoor Tuxedo."

Posted By: lardboyI did think about putting more background information in there for the real life Josh, Eli and Denise but I wasn't sure how much of a connection they wanted between HE and real life i.e. gearbox,etc.

That's really something that can only be answered by the crew themselves, but I would say until we are told differently, keep any personally identifying details out of the wiki. Gearbox does get mentioned in the podcast quite a bit, either directly or indirectly, but I'd rather not call attention to possible violations of corporate policy. You know...like discussing the LOLocaust.

And the entry itself is looking great so far!

Posted By: lardboyAnybody know who Bhaelochon is. They've renamed and redirected my original entry.

I did that, because it was misspelled. ;)

Also—someone doesn't like the article being on Wikipedia at all, as it might not meet notability requirements. So everyone get to editing! It'd be a shame if the article was deleted less than a day after it was created.

Most new webcomics areticles are deleted. There's an anti-webcomics uprising on Wiki which I why Ive never pushed for an HE article. Too much politics.

and its gone.

I have to admit to being kinda bummed about this I tried to make a contribution, tried to start an interesting little project and they fucked me over.

Fuck wikipedia.

Fuck wikipedia.

The anti-webcomic movement is spearheaded by just a few editors. Fuck those guys, not Wiki.

I think the "notable" criteria refers to the subject of the page, and not the page itself. Basically, they're saying that HE isn't worth a wiki entry. Bastids.

So HE=Firefly?

Shit, I had more points to make. Nevermind.

I've been thinking about an HE wiki page for quite a while, and I know I'd do my part. In a related story, I tried to add HijiNKS Ensue to the Internet recognition section of Undefeatable's entry back when the Shitty Movie Challenge was first starting, but in a related ending some douche deleted it in under 24 hours.

Goddammit, I think we need to devise some way to reach a wider audience. Maybe have as many FB's as possible recommend HE to Joystiq for the weekly webcomics do? I really think that if people read the comic they'll get right into it. I've wasted a lot of time on webcomics, enough to recognise which ones are a waste of my wasted time and HE is one of the best written comics I read (I only regularly read HE and Penny Arcade) and is genuinely worth reading every update. I don't know, something should be done though...

Posted By: photozzIts a little bizarre. XKCD and Order of the stick both have pages, but penny-arcade does not... what hell.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Arcade_(webcomic)Artist and Creator of HijiNKS Ensue

Touche sir.

Yeah it seems like HE always finds its way onto the webcomic wrapup whenever it's relevant.

Quick.. someone make a Menudo joke...

Hmm, I'm a bit annoyed that they named it Hijinks Ensue (comic), and not simply HijiNKS ENSUE. Either way, I'm going to start by adding some images and information to try to make it more legit. I also think that the more we connect this Wikipedia page to other established entities, the better chance it won't get deleted. I'm going to start by trying to link all of Joel's guest comics he's done for other people, as well as mention specifically the Edward James Olmos shirt. I will also mention the podcast cast connections between HijiNKS ENSUE and Gearbox Software or Dallas Observer.

Anyone know of any other big established entities that we can link to HijiNKS ENSUE.

EDIT:

I've done what I can for now. I tried to add this image: [[File:Hijinks-ensue-godspeed-you-fancy-bastard-book-300x300.jpg]] but it ended up stretching out the page. Anyone with more Wikipedia voodoo, feel free to fix that.

Well, good luck guys. In this case notability is usually based on whether there are any independent, trustworthy, secondary sources about the topic. So they can list every fucking episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series, or the 493 distinct types of Pokémon, or the 1600th person in the line of succession to the British throne, but like Joel said, 800,000 page views don't mean squat to them. Short of getting the local newspaper to write an article about Hijinks Ensue (never mind the fact that newspapers probably don't want to make it common knowledge that you can get comics somewhere other than inside their pages), I don't know how you're going to satisfy those editors.

A CC (creative commons) license on the image would probably be all they need. Joel would have to do that, though.

Posted By: joelHmm... so i need to modify the actual image?

Don't think so. You just need to fill out the license yourself since you own the rights. For Wikipedia's sake, it would probably also help to make a note about the license somewhere on the official site - a tiny caption under the image or something.

they've already flagged the article for deletion unless "secondary sources are cited." If anyone knows what they are looking for, please feel free to edit and provide the info. It might help to use facts or quotes that I have provided in articles/interviews on other websites.

I remember I won the joystiq weekly webcomic contest at least once beating out Penny Arcade.

heres that wired article

http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2008/08/10-geeky-webcom.html

The thing about the Webcomic poll is, does that really count as a source for Wikipedia? I would think they're too stuffy for it.

That's the same thing for when celebrities comment or link to the comic in Twitter. Does that really count as a source?

The Wired article is probably good though, I'll add that when I get home.

It looks like the "deletion imminent" warning has been removed. Im not 100% positive but I think you guys did it! If anyone wants to make a pet project to add to and maintain the article I am all for it. I need to figure out what I need to do so you can easily add images. Maybe a characters section would be helpful.
