not a committee post: Sherlockian character pages

[aethel]

We (some editors) have been discussing how to disambiguate the character pages for the many versions of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, etc. on a talk page. Fanlore's standard naming convention for disambiguated character pages will result in some very clunky page names for this fandom (e.g. [[Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes (2009))]]). If anyone has any ideas, input would be welcome! At the moment, it looks like we might go with disambiguating Holmes by actor name, though this approach might create other difficulties. We're also considering main "hub" pages to collect links/info on multiple versions of the characters: here's the first one, which I just now slapped together.

Speaking of character pages, at present there is only one character page in the Sherlock Holmes category (here). This is depressing, and I, for one, would love to see more! (I wonder if we could organize a fandom-specific editing party like the Merlin party back in ... March? That was an amazing thing.)

I've been busy avoiding RL (though I will need to stop procrastinating this coming week). :)

I have a vague idea of posting about editing Sherlock Holmes pages in a community to bring in more people, but which community I don't know--cox_and_co? sherlockbbc? I'm not active in any of them.

I'm not especially active in sherlockbbc but I am a member of both the LJ and DW versions. If you tell me what to post, I can post it to each. I'm not sure which comms would be best for other Holmes versions, though.
