[edit] The Age of 13

"The style was popularized, if not invented, by Neil Cicierega (aka Trapezoid) at the age of 13, an 18-year-old student from Kingston, Massachusetts."

Okay, call me stupid, but isn't the above sentence a bit ambiguous? What is "the age of 13": the 18-year-old student (in which case it's an error), or the style (which considering that Macromedia Flash hasn't really had an influence extending that far back in time, I would assume an error as well). So I know it's screwed-up, but how? I'm assuming that the "18-year-old student" part is extraneous, and that author was going for:

"The style was popularized, if not invented, by Neil Cicierega (A.K.A. Trapezoid), a 13-year-old student from Kingston, Massachusetts."

Did I get the jist of the problem? Eliminating the update on Neil midway through the sentence may have cleared the problem up. (Crtrue)

[edit] Albino Blacksheep history

Are we allowed to just reproduce other people's text verbatim? It's not even paraphrased, but it's made to look like it is. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is under the GNU FDL, so text incorporated has to be under the same or a compatible license, or public domain. Did anyone get permission from ABS to use that?

[edit] Proffessionalism

So yeah, at present I feel this article has lots of POVness. Also, questionable assurances such as "Animutation should become mainstream in a few years" probably don't belong here. For cleanup, I'm not sure where to begin, but I'll do my best to rally interested folk from the ABS forums. Jesset77 09:21, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Link

Does anybody know what the protocol is for wikipedias for specifics things- like the fanimutation wiki, is it right being under internal link?

  • FanimutationWiki is not a wikipedia, so it should remain as an external link. —AdamAtlas 06:59, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Behind The Music That Sucks

The first time I saw this kind of animation was on a show on Fuse TV called "Behind the Music that Sucks" (hereinafter, "BTMTS"). Having stumbled across this article, I looked for a reference to that show and couldn't find it. I've now located a web site "Heavy.com" that features BTMTS as well as another "channel" called "Kung Faux" which was also shown on Fuse. Any info on connections between these various phenomena? --Davecampbell 18:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Other than the whole Monty Python-style animation dealie, no. There are lots of things which use the animated cut-outs, but actually have some coherency to them. 71.231.56.40 21:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Death of Culture

This is. gohlkus 17:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Wow, how relevant.

[edit] Cleanup

I just wiped out a big chunk of this article. Unverifiable, non-notable info doesn't really have a place here. Just as YTMND has the YTMND wiki, so is there an Animutation wiki, and that is the place for the majority of this information, not here. Please discuss here. --Dwiki 06:12, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lead Paragraph

Who are the intended viewers?199.126.28.20 07:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

My guess would be that whoever wrote that was thinking of Americans. That should probably be removed or rewritten. --Burgercat 11:20, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Terry Gilliam?

Didn't Terry Gilliam influence this, with cutting off the chin to make people talk and whatnot? Curvebill 00:23, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Colin Mochrie

The most commonly used character in animutation is Colin Mochrie

Where does that come from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.137.63.190 (talk) 07:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

It should probably say:
A commonly used character in animutation is Colin Mochrie
Or better yet, just include Mr. Mochrie's name in the list of other characters. --Lance E Sloan (talk) 14:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hyakugojyuuichi.jpg

Image:Hyakugojyuuichi.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
