Talk:Esteefee

Apparently there are three different pages for the same fan using different names (esteefee, Morgan Logan, Arrow) for different phases of their fannish life. Is that really necessary? I find it confusing and would prefer to combine them. --Tiyire 10:12, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
- +1. Don't see any reason the pages shouldn't be merged; they obviously aren't separate for privacy reasons. Only I have no idea which name should be used for the merged page. Ask the person who made the pages? --MegR 15:45, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I created very different personas for these three pseudonyms and they each have their own custom fictional biographies (especially Agent Molo). It's not just the works that are independent. Think of it as performance art. I have no problem with people knowing they come from one person, but it's not just different phases of my fannish life. I still contribute to each of these personas in a different voice. --Molo 02:31, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- I see you redirected your userpage to Morgan Logan, which is as far as I know not the intended use for either of those pages. Maybe you could transfer most of the content of Morgan Logan to User:Molo? Morgan Logan (and Arrow and partly esteefee, too) read more like userpages to me anyway. If you say they're separate that's fine, but I don't think fanlore is the right place to practice performance art. --Tiyire 12:06, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- I was directed to do that by meedee, because MoLo is short for Morgan Logan and that is another way people refer to that persona. I would rather have no fanlore page entirely for my esteefee and Arrow personas rather than mess with Morgan Logan. She works for a top secret government agency and knows where all the bodies are buried. Also, I worked very hard on the molo page and only created the other two when frogspace and others made links to my non-existent pagename. They're throwaways. Delete the other two entirely if you want. This is getting sort of silly. --Molo 18:53, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
- Molo, you don't have to redirect your user page if you don't want to -- your user page can be for things other than describing yourself (such as lists of stuff you want to work on, etc.). How would you feel about having the Morgan Logan article link to arrow and esteefee, while keeping the articles separate? We can also do a redirect and move all the content to Morgan Logan, with headers that distinguish your role in fandom under the various identities, if that suits your needs.

- We're a pretty easy going bunch here -- while fans don't get to have all the say in their fan page, there's no reason why we can't keep them separate and interlink accordingly. Performance art in fandom should be documented with regard the way it was performed :) --Awils1 08:25, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- I just noticed that Morgan Logan does link to arrow and esteefee, so that suits our (Fanlore comm/wiki committee's) needs for any cross-referencing. --Awils1 08:28, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

- Three cheers for encouraging the documentation of fandom performance art. We don't see much of it (openly) practiced in fandom which may be why fans like Tiyire aren't familiar/comfortable with it. Fanlore is all about documenting what fans are actually doing at conventions, in blogs and on mailing lists (and in zines, in archives, on devianntart, and of course in person).--MeeDee 17:30, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- I'm all for the documentation of fannish performance art, especially now that I know what it is! But the "documentation" part is important, imo. As it looks now, when I saw the three different pages I was just confused. Maybe add a note to explain and clear things up?--Tiyire 20:50, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
