Talk:Fan convention
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And not a single picture for those hundreds of cons?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 01:16, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- I've dropped in a pic, along with a few other changes. Hope this helps. :-) GreenReaper 04:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup
This article needs help... it seems to focus on some mostly unknown cons while ignoring some of the larger ones (such as Star Wars Celebration, GenCon, etc). Should also be wikified.
I'll do some work on it as soon as I get a moment.

[edit] Furry
Why does this article focus on "furry" conventions, a very small minority of fan conventions? 209.98.250.100 (talk) 04:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Because nobody has yet volunteered to write about others. Will you? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 05:00, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- One paragraph would not appear to be as much of a focus if the entire article were larger. Like science fiction convention, furry convention is a well-developed topic, with several articles about specific conventions of note. As Piotrus notes, articles about other types of fan convention are not as well developed, and so their coverage in this summary article is lacking. Feel free to expand such articles, and this summary along with it. GreenReaper (talk) 05:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- I trimmed back the undue emphasis on furry cons, and the one-shot JAWS thing. This article conflates commercial shows like GenCon and SanDiego ComicCon with fan-run, not-for-profit conventions, which I think is a shame (but a widespread failing). --Orange Mike | Talk 18:43, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
