DEFINING and Populating NEW fields

Unread post by ecNate »

UPDATE - I now have the ability to add new artists (person(s) that created the actual artwork), brand (the commercial brand applied to some decks, usually Bicycle, Bee, Tally Ho, etc), company (aka producer, the person(s) or company(s) that had the vision and saw the idea complete to creation), manufacturer (the actual printer of the deck, although sometimes the company behind an unamed printer, like EPCC) to P52. So, we will use this thread to determine what needs to be added. Post a reply (one for ALL the ones you need added) and define the type (artist, brand, company, manufacturer), the name to be added, applicable website, optional description, REQUIRED way to validate your request if not obvious from website.

Basically, just be very clear what you need added and then defend your request so I know you're not just guessing at the spelling, if that person is actually an artist vs company (producer), etc. Most of the time it will be obvious from the website if applicable. This is just a quick fill method for now and won't be the way we do this forever, but it should help get these things more populated.

Examples:
Artist - Emmanuel Jose - http://emmanueljose.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - Emmanuel specialized in semi-transformation decks and had 3 decks so far - see website
Company - Tomlinson Playing Cards - http://www.tomlinsonplayingcards.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - n/a - see website
Artist - Jody Eklund - n/a - n/a - Jody is a confirmed artist as you can see in one of his KS pages, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/91 ... ody-eklund" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

======================================================================

You'll note we FINALLY have our greatly requested multiple fields for categorizing decks: Artist (artist or artists who created the artwork), Brand (if it was a formally branded deck - Bicycle, Hoyle, Bee, Tally-Ho), Company (the producer who put together the deck, often times the Kickstarter project owner for crowd funded) and Manufacturer (who actually printed the deck, USPCC, EPCC, MPC, etc). You can also now view decks by any of these values by clicking on the related names for a single deck and finding other decks with that same value (artist, brand, company, manufacturer). In addition, you can browse all categories and see what is under them. NOTE - there is up to a 24 hour delay once a deck is updated with new information before it is added to the related listings - http://www.portfolio52.com/collect

You'll also note you can add additional items for each of these so if multiple artists contributed you can list them all or if the deck was printed by one company and the tuck by another they can be listed, or if it was a joint venture with multiple companies behind it. NOTE - we don't yet have an admin control panel to add more options for these categories, so we can't yet add additional

I've started the process of going in and updating a number of decks, so any others with edit access can also do the same. I would suggest doing in groups to help manage better. Too bad we don't have a bulk update method (yet)....although I am asking if Rhu can do a script to update all the Bicycle ones based on title. What I've done so far is picked a few artists and then pulled up each deck I know from them and update those not only for artist, but also the other values. Again, remember that changes you make will be seen right away in each deck details, but not in the related lists until up to 24 hours later.

So far I have focused on artists and done Alex Chin, Cy, Diane Tomlinson, Emmanuel Jose, Jackson Robinson, Jody Eklund, Lee McKenzie, Lorenzo, Lotrek, Rick Davidson, and Robert Tomlinson. I would welcome anybody to also double check those in case I missed any and then add others as needed. Just remember that delay! http://www.portfolio52.com/artist

I've started looking through my collection decks as a starting point for this and noticed that K3 Studios is listed as 3K studios - but that's not something I can change.

Can someone with edit ability add:

Consolidated - Dougherty Card Company DONE - http://www.portfolio52.com/node/51013
Merrimac Publ. Corp. DONE - http://www.portfolio52.com/node/51011
E.E. Fairchild Corp. DONE - http://www.portfolio52.com/node/51012

to the Manufacturer List.

Ace to the Brand List DONE - http://www.portfolio52.com/node/51014

and are we expanding the Production company list? I think previously you needed a certain amount of decks to qualify, but with the current system I think credit should be given where due.

if so can you please add

Alien Ink DONE - http://www.portfolio52.com/node/51015
Scallywags

to the Production Company List.

Unfortunately we don't yet have the ability to add new options (yet). I'm told it's coming though. Once it is here we'll need to establish a policy and process for requesting new entries to these categories. So again, for now we can only update with what we have, but getting those accurate and complete will be a great start.

However, we also need to keep this going with new decks. There were a bunch added in the past few days that I had to go back into and populate these fields. Everybody please note you should fill out all these values (assuming the option exists for the related deck). They are just down a bit further and it will take a while to get used to, but this will be super neat once we get more decks updated and added.

Once we get access I can add those listed here and it's 100% correct that we no longer will require x decks to be under a category to have it added as an option.

I also added those for @dazzleguts and @Modi (need details on Scallywags though). I just edited your requests with the completed links for clarity.

Scallywags should be the company behind the Postumo cards, but of course the kickstarter page doesn't say this, and my copies of the deck are currently at the back of my storage. I should be flipping my storage around in a week or so, I'll pull the box then and check.

also could you add the following brands

Trump
Shellback
Stardust
Kent
Stancraft

These are the most of the major brands Hoyle produced.

Added these brands, thanks for the verification link

I saw mention of Scallywags on KS page, but link is dead, then found this (http://web.archive.org/web/201408311049 ... werks.com/). So I added that production company and also the artist Obsidian Abnormal. While I was at it I updated the 3 decks for Postumo

Looks like the designer for disruption, I guess we can go with that then. No obvious website found though. Added as artist.

He's the artist for many of the Collectable Playing Cards KS campaigns.

It would be nice if when someone adds a new deck, especially from Kickstarter, that they add all 2 or 3 colors/decks. Like the Leonardo deck, only Gold has been added so far, why not add both decks at the same time?

Exactly! Adding decks you don't have means not using quality scans and then we end up with crappy content because only a few people are editors and able to add them once it is in the database.

Thanks to this helpful post, I've now added a bunch of additional artists and production companies. Authorized editors can feel free to go locate appropriate decks and update them (those marked with '*' still need to be updated, if anybody goes through and locates/updates the others let me know and I'll mark off). Contributors will now have these available as options when adding new decks. NOTE - we don't intend to enter EVERY possible artist or production company, but very popular single deck artists/production companies and those with multiples will be added when made aware.

Artists
Blackout Brother
Erik Mana
Joe White
Mark Stutzman
Douglas Koozer* (some Brain Vessel decks???)
Jason Krieger* (some Brain Vessel decks???)
Paul Carpenter* (easiest way to locate and update these is using this)
Tyler Deeb* (Misc Goods decks?)

Production Companies
Brain Vessel Creative
Chris Chelko
Mana Playing Cards
Pocono Modern
Whispering Imps Productions
Joker and the Thief*
