− | For me it is SO weird that this is today's Incomplete Explanation. Yesterday on Facebook, I had a Memory that I shared this 1 year ago today (so, 1 year ago yesterday). :) - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/162.158.126.76|162.158.126.76]] 04:31, 4 January 2017 (UTC) I finally signed up!

| I added some transcript. I didn't manage to use different colors in the transcript, so I added the HEX-Codes directly in the text. I'm not mother-tongued so please correct if you find mistakes. --[[User:LaVe|LaVe]] ([[User talk:LaVe|talk]]) 12:30, 20 February 2017 (UTC) | | I added some transcript.

− | HOW is this still not complete, it looks pretty good to me. Just want more opinions.[[User:Dontknow|Dontknow]] ([[User talk:Dontknow|talk]]) 19:42, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

− | :It certainly wants a much better discussion of ''Napoleon's March'' which is hard to do without the image. I asked on the noticeboard for someone to upload it ([[Admin_requests#Minard.27s_map_for_657]])...Or I guess i could artificially up my post-count and then wait a week...

− | ::The explanation of the Minard map on the linked page seems adequate. Not every piece of information needs to be in this wiki.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.136|108.162.245.136]] 03:19, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

− | :::I would disagree. Most people don't follow links. I would say that the Minard map is absolutely essential to understanding this comic. All of the images in the comic are based on the Minard map, and if you haven't seen the Minard map, you haven't understood the comic. Reasonably people can disagree on that, of course, but I think it unquestionably passes the "relevance" test that you mention ("Not every piece of information needs to be in this wiki"). An appropriate contextual explanation needs to be written. That's on my todo list after the image is working, which it is not right now.

− | ::Nice work on the pic, I moved it so that the text is above the picture. It makes more sense for readers to read the text for background knowledge and then see the pic.[[User:Dontknow|Dontknow]] ([[User talk:Dontknow|talk]]) 20:11, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

− | :::At the risk of excessive navel-gazing, I wonder if we're better off putting it on the right with the text accompanying it on the left. Also maybe shrinking it a bit more. I dunno... [[User:JohnHawkinson|JohnHawkinson]] ([[User talk:JohnHawkinson|talk]]) 03:07, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

− | :::: There are many comics where there is a pic in the middle,see [[1282: Monty Hall]] just need a little more opinion. [[User:Dontknow|Dontknow]] ([[User talk:Dontknow|talk]]) 23:10, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

− | I am not sure if this should be included, but it is a nice piece of trivia anyway: Randall seems to have inspired a whole field of research in digital humanities with this strip. There are now multiple papers on "storyline visualizations" that reference this comic, using the concept for visualizations of storylines, politic events and other stuff. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-50106-2_30 {{unsigned|162.158.88.128|11:06, 20 October 2017 }}
