Talk:JaAm
I think that the Wiki can and should include some fandom-specific information that isn't directly related to Transformers. For example, we should eventually have an article for each BotCon/OTFCC convention. We should have an entry for FIRRIB. I think Jam falls under the same umbrella. Obviously there should be some limit to how obscure/irrelevant a meme we include, but Jam, for instance, has highly-visible exposure on Ben Yee's site, so I think it is worth including. --Steve-o 16:55, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- Your arugment is sound, but I would definitely have to differ. I agree that we should have entries for each BotCon/OTFCC, because the convention is officially supported by Hasbro (even though this was admittedly not always the case. I would argue that the fact that these conventions gained official status grants legitimacy to the pre-official conventions to at least the degree where I'm comfortable with them being on this Wiki, though). I don't think that FIRRIB or the JaAm comics, as strictly fan-based endeavors, should be here, though. At the very least, if we do include them, we need to set up guidelines detailed the criteria under which non-official entries should be permitted.--G.B. Blackrock 18:42, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
I vote we move to a properly-spelled page, such as JaAm. --ItsWalky 17:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- I think JAam is a perfectly cromulent subject for this Wiki. Like Hot Shot, my shoulders often hurt, and I wonder Why- WHY was I created to feel pain? You wouldnt' want it as a section in Hot Shot's main page, but a link out is good. -Derik 07:51, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
I think this JaAm article should stay. Personal webpages can come and go, and there was a considerable length of time during which the JaAm comic wasn't available, but all these references to JaAm were, causing me to say, 'WhAt jAam?'. All those references are still out there, buried in Usenet archives, forum discussions, and things like the BWTF rating system. One thing this encyclopedia can do is help to understand the meanings of weird things like this without having to say 'My life is pain'. At least it would give everybody somewhere stable to direct people to when they wanted to know what was going on. - Autobus Prime
