::::Yes. I don't think people thought it was a bad idea to have an article about requests for re-doing emails. Everybody simply thought this was about re-drawing Trogdor, as the title suggests. I think changing the title would be a good idea, it would be a more interesting article if it's not just about re-drawing that cool dragon.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC) | ::::Yes.

So... does sibbie count? It's kinda asking him to redo Everybody to the Limit... --phlip TC 13:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Scope of the article?
I'm a bit confused about the scope of this page. Is it just about emails asking SB to draw Trogdor again, or is it about any email that asks him to redo another email? Already, we've had some disagreement about this (the following information: "Email 2 emails — Danny sends an email similar to sb_email 22" was added to and removed from this page twice). Phlip's comment above also suggests an uncertainty concerning what to include and not include here.
The title of this page suggests to me that it is only about drawing Trogdor again, but the introductory text suggests that it could be about any request to repeat an email, with drawing Trogdor as the most common example. If it's just about drawing Trogdor, a reword of the text might be in order to clarify this. If it's about requests to repeat emails, I think we should move this page to a more inclusive title.

- My read is that it's Phlip's intention that this be about the specific phenomenon of requesting Trogdor. As such i have rewritten the opening paragraph so as to not lead with discussion the general case of requests relating to any previous email, as it was probably that which caused the confusion. - Qermaq - (T/C)

- The intent was that it was about repeat emails in general, with "draw Trogdor again" being the most common. Hence "[...] most commonly asking Strong Bad to draw Trogdor again." The wording was based on the wording of the Flashforward article, which says "Redoing a favorite email, usually redrawing a dragon." I thought that the other redoings would be fair game too... the title is just Trogdor 'cause it's the most common. Same as How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On? lists things other than the question itself... shots of Strong Bad actually typing, etc. But that's just what I was thinking when I made it... if a purely-dragon-repeating article would be better, I'm cool with that. The reason why I'm unsure of sibbie is partly that it's not really asking him to redo something as such, but it kinda is. And that SB actually answers the email, unlike the other appearances... --phlip TC 08:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
