Wikipedia's Fans Coverage Improves!
It hasn't yet propogated to all Wikipedia's content partners, but I'm sure it will-- Fans is now an example of traditional format, not an example of infinite canvas.
Makes sense to me. Yeah, Fans used infinite canvas a lot in its first two years and flirted thereafter, but it was still in traditional page-format more often than not. I'm flattered that they kept me on at all, really.
Huh, also a new section on "4-koma." That's a new one on me, but it makes sense.
No, this wasn't an ego-surf :-), it was research for the revisions. Speaking of which, back to 'em.

Well, 4-Koma and 4-panel is like Manga and US-produced manga-wannabe. The idea is the same, only arranged to fit the cultural context of Japan (since traditionally their language is read vertically top to bottom).
It's like those people who do a comic from right to left, even though the original language is English, and made for an English reading audience.
Wikipedia is amazing, really. It uses the internet as what it was supposed to be, an information source.
