==Wikiproject Dead Cartoonists==

When I notice that someone of notability in (or adjacent to) the comics community has died, I try to make sure there's a respectable article about them. If there isn't an article at all, I at least create a stub, and if there's one that's not up to standards, I try to fix that. Some of those I've worked on to some degree are:

== Damaged People ==
It's remarkable how certain kinds of damaged people come to Wikipedia to try to fix what's wrong with them. If editing Wikipedia and being angry are routinely happening at the same time... you have a problem (and it probably isn't Wikipedia). If you've come to my page and are wondering if I'm talking about you... that's a hint. But this is actually an observation about ''several'' people I've seen warring with others (including me) on Wikipedia, so maybe it ''isn't'' about you in particular. Best of luck to you.

I've been "online" since before the Web and I think it's great that language has evolved during this time. But not when it simply degenerates. And one example of that is the overuse of the word ''titular''. Someone apparently came across the word – probably seeing someone refer to Dracula as "the titular vampire" of Stoker's book, and figured that it was a fancier, smarter version of the adjective ''title''. It isn't. The word actually has two meanings, the first referring to royal titles; that's not the one we're dealing with here. The second is ''similar'' to when you say "title character", but not quite the same. A "title character" is something simple and direct: it's the character named or referred to in the title. Like the [[title track]] of an album. But when you describe a character as "titular", you're... well... ''describing'' them, telling us something about them beyond the fact that they're referenced in the title. It ''is'' a fancy, smart turn of phrase, and when you finish it with "character", it lands with a thud. That wasn't the word you were looking for. If you want to refer to the title character, say "title character".

(Note: I'm not getting rid of ''titular'' where it belongs. I have no problem with "the titular prince of Denmark" or "''Sherlock'''s titular detective". In fact, those are the kinds of things I'm trying ''preserve'' the word for.)

I'm Jason A. Quest. I'm a professional writer and an illustrator, and I play with technology.

I am the creator of Neverpedia.com, a web site about Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie, and related subjects. Much of the "foundation" information on which the site is built is gratefully derived from Wikipedia.
