Hi AJCham, |
|||
There are countless examples on the internet referring to rotational ambigrams as 'flipscript'. "flipscript" is obviously easier for artists to write than the phrase "rotational ambigram". It is by far the most common of the four 'alternate names' listed in the article, and consequently should be the last of the four to be deleted. |
|||
I have updated the "Ambigram" Talk page with the information you requested. For your convenience, here are some links where you can verify the widespread usage of the term: |
|||
http://www.deviantart.com/?q=flipscript |
|||
https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=flipscript |
|||
http://statigr.am/tag/flipscript |
|||
http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/creative-and-cool-ambigram-designs/ ("the flipscript or rotational ambigram...") |
|||
To avoid an edit war, I have not reverted your latest change. I would prefer that you do that personally once you have verified for yourself that this term has been in widespread use for more than 5 years, that it is by far the most common alternate name in use in the world today, and that the removal of this factual information was unwarranted. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Punyam|Punyam]] ([[User talk:Punyam|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Punyam|contribs]]) 20:15, 10 August 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
|||
: The removal was not unwarranted. The supposed fact was cited to only the company which owns the trademark, not a [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliable source]]. Any editor is justified in removing questionable statements if suitable sources have not been provided, and the onus to cite these sources rests with the editor adding the information. I see you are now trying to do this with the links provided above, although I remain unconvinced. Firstly, a search results page is not a reliable source, but even if it were the ones you provide show no indication of significant use of 'FlipScript' as a synonym for ambigram. Take the DeviantArt link for example. 11 images found when searching for flipscript, whereas there are [http://www.deviantart.com/?q=ambigram 7849] results for 'ambigram'. The 3 search pages combined show only 35 hits, some of which are false matches - it's a fringe term at best. Blogs too are not generally acceptable as reliable sources, as there is no editorial oversight, so the last one also fails the test. |
|||
:Sorry, I won't be putting it back in. Even if it was a neutral term it seems of little significance, and not worth mentioning. The fact that it is a trademark doesn't help, and it just comes across as spammy. <span style="font-family: sansation, sans-serif;">'''[[User:AJCham|<span style="color: #000;">AJ</span>]][[User talk:AJCham|<span style="color: #666;">Cham</span>]]'''</span> 09:36, 11 August 2013 (UTC) |
