what in the heckoslovakia is panel 16 172.71.147.216 02:18, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

I can only assume that it's from the perspective of someone inside the well looking upward toward the outside world. OmniDoom (talk) 02:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

It's a reference to The Ring (リング) films and books. This distorted view from the inside of the well is an iconic part of the franchise's imagery, and, in minimal-spoilers form, its appearance suggests that someone has watched the cursed tape and should now expect a visitor to arrive from that well in seven days.

more at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ring_(franchise) aside holy gosh! I was expecting to link to IMDB for like two or three movies. /aside the trailer at https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0298130/ starts with an a 1950-1990 ish USA telephone ring. It's been a while since I saw it and the ring referring to a telephone not magic ring is starting to sound familiar. SDT

which is too much detail. "Panel 16 refers to a horror film" is not enough info SDT 172.70.134.102 04:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

You watched the tape!? --162.158.94.27 07:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Having never seen^* The Ring, I now think I understand a lot more about the film. Here was I, always thinking it was an allegory upon the idea of a webring...

^* figure that if seeing "the tape" causes imminent death, then watching "The Ring" might at least cause an annoying rash/the sniffles in the near future... and I have indeed eventually felt an itch or had a runny nose even after seeing references to The Ring. Sometimes within a couple of months!

I mean, is it not a bit of a Spoiler? (Clearly, I don't know how much it might be.) Hmmm... *itch itch* *aaachew!!* 172.69.195.175 13:04, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

172.70.134.100 03:58, 25 July 2024 (UTC) I'm assuming that a table would probably be best for this comic, but tbh I don't know how to make one and it's kinda late for me. 162.158.137.212 02:48, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Update: thanks to whoever made the table 141.101.109.192 03:32, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome :) I had to look at Wikipedia's tutorial to make it - Blue in real life (talk) 05:55, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

The table parser is incredibly byzantine; good job. 172.70.215.11 07:34, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

172.70.162.18 (well, more precisely, the person who made this edit): you managed to make me frantically make two page moves thinking that you had removed the link that I added. See, I created Category:Confusion matrices and added links to that on all the articles with confusion matrices. However, I thought you had reverted my edit when you removed a link to Category:Comics with confusion matrices. So I thought I had created the category under the wrong name compared with what I added and went to move the category, until I realized you had indeed removed a link to a category that isn't used. Two page moves later (because I made a typo in the first move), I realized that the category's name was correct and that someone had earlier linked to a nonexistent category that was not mine. OOPS. —megan talk contribs 13:35, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I was just trying to submit the following, and got Edit Conflicted about it. Right, then. Obviously it's too late to make my reasoning known (I thought it was an IP who had created the "Charts with Confusion Matrices", or whatever it was, who couldn't have even created the required page, but... well, talk about confusion!) but giving it here anyway...

Removed the category of something to do with "confusion charts", which might be something to do with the appearence as a cross-compare table (akin to a Punnet Square, not quite the same as a Karnaugh Map; probably has some name such as "compatability matrix", but I can't remember or find what that might be). Anyway, apparently "confusion chart/square/matrix/whatever" isn't a term in use that I've been able to find out there in the real world (also, it is probably supposed to guide one away from potential confusion, not cause it), it specifically doesn't have a wikipedia entry (or even a wikiledia redirect to another one by another name) and we don't have that category even if we invented the term ourselves. There are other examples of this form already under Category:Charts, so it's "a thing" that we might want to service with a Category (ideally more "Compatability Matrix" than that other name), but best to create the category and add the comic(s) as members rather than speculatively add spurious non-existent categories then rely on someone else to fulfil them at a later date. Even better to have a quick check to see if everyone agrees to the category title (and need, ...which I would actually tentatively support, in this case, if asked) beforehand.

...just as a note, as I spent quite some time trying to find out if "confusion charts" were a thing (and coming up blank), so maybe this way I haven't wasted my time quite as much as just going away, or instead just offering a laconic apology for getting in the way. 172.69.195.5 13:46, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Ok, me again. It looks like someone found Confusion matrix after all, as a wikipage. I'd actually looked for various "confusion" things but... Perhaps typoed the search when I tried vs. "matrix"..? Maybe. Seems the most logical mistake to have made. So ignore my above objections. Still, I don't like the name ("deconfusion matrix" would be awful, yet better), and I've never known it by that name. Just left making my opinion known, now, however wrong it turns out to have been. About that and the original wrong-way-round of implementing it (by parties unknown; not User:Megan, who it looks like just happened to clash with me in mutually well-meant but oppositely attempted resolutions to the original mess). 172.70.163.121 14:28, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

it kind of looks like the driver in the car/front door panel is beret guy, assuming the car went front first into the door 172.70.178.9 16:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Lightning rod inventor historical dispute

Could someone please add a [citation needed] tag to Lightning rod#History where it says Franklin was unaware of Prokop Diviš's work? Back when I read a 1950s biography of Franklin, I believe there were some questions about whether Franklin would likely have been aware of it and similar work which had not been entirely resolved by historians. 172.69.34.190 17:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
