"comedienne"?

"Whitney Cummings (born September 4, 1982) is an American comedienne and actress."

Doesn't the English word comedian refer to both male and female comedians? --151.239.161.158 (talk) 12:26, 25 June 2014 (UTC) It does, anyone else is stupid.

Debate over the meaning of including her appearance in The Joe Rogan Experience under the "Filmography" category and notes on my view of Tenebrae's reversal of my edit of this article.

The category is named "Filmography". Merriam Webster defines the word as "a list of motion pictures featuring the work of a prominent film figure or relating to a particular topic". Now, the words "motion pictures" is the key here. There should be no need for a debate over whether digitally stored videos with audio is motion pictures. But for clarification, for instance, no one would argue that multi-million productions such as Frozen, Shrek, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, which are all computer animated, stored on digital media and not physical rolls of film, are not to be included in the Filmography of their respective producers. For instance, on Chris Bucks Wikipedia page, under the category "Selected filmography" (yes, "filmography") Frozen is listed. And for further example, Andrew Adamsons (producer at Pixar) Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Adamson#Filmography) lists Shrek under "Filmography", another fully digitally recorded motion picture. So, if your issue is, as you say is "and if you want to start Podcast list on this page, fine. But pod casts don't go under "Film & Television"" So under the category "Filmography" we have the subcategory "Film & Television" that you allude to. Now, if we look at the Wikipedia article Film and go to the category Animation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film#Animation) we see the following line: "Although most animation studios are now using digital technologies in their productions, there is a specific style of animation that depends on film" meaning a majority of animation studios, which we have concluded produce de-facto Films (Shrek, Frozen), are not actually storing their works on actual rolls of film, but rather digital media. Now compare these definitions and examples to video pod-casts, in this case a 2.5 hour long one, and see that it fits this category.

I hope you read and understand the logic of my argument, but unfortunately i doubt it since you are probably hired by someone to edit specific Wikipedia articles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Paid_editing_(policy)). On average, over your 10 years editing Wikipedia articles, you edit 30 articles per day. Lets say each edit takes 15 minutes, you are spending 7.5 hours 7 days a week 365 days a year for 10 years, making it extremely likely, statistically, you put so much time into this you are indeed a full time hire of some organization. In fact it should raise a flag within the Wikipedia community that you are indeed getting paid. Perhaps the community can look into closer into your statistics, for instance how your editing schedule look like. I bet it looks like a 8 to 5 (perhaps somewhat skewed in some fashion, like night shift and or working week-ends) , including regular breaks for meals. Think about this before you make your move. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.219.196.108 (talk) 08:17, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

I would not normally say this, but since you're clearing not assuming good faith, I'll be blunt and say you're full of crap. On my days off I put a lot of time in. Other times, I'm a journalist and author who corrects things here while I'm doing research on a particular topic. Most edits take a minute or less. Your analysis is flawed beyond reason.--Tenebrae (talk) 17:10, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Incidentally, when you're reverted, per WP:BRD, the next step in the protocol is to go to the talk page to seek consensus from other editors. Otherwise, the status quo remains. Without gaining consensus for a reverted edit, you are edit-warring, which admins don't like. If you continue to edit-war, I will seek admin intervention, which means page protection against anonymous IPs or blocking an edit-warring editor. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:14, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
