Text and/or other creative content from this version of xkcd What If was copied or moved into Xkcd with this edit on May 30, 2015. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.
See MOS:LCITEMS and MOS:TMCAPS. In these cases, we follow reliable sources, which I think either use all-lowercase or all-caps for xkcd. A proper dig through all the sources would probably be needed to get a good conclusion of best presentation. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 13:18, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@The Grid: (I apologize for the terrible grammar in that edit summary.) It wasn't just because of the 40 characters, I also feel the word "American" doesn't help much. The short description is supposed to help disambiguate between searches, and there's no British cartoonist with a webcomic called xkcd. The word "Cartoonist" is much more helpful for this purpose.

He's from the US and that makes his an American. To be honest, he's more than an cartoonist but if you want to simplify the short description than saying it's by someone based from the US is pretty normal. There's singers, songwriters, mathematicians, etc where the short description is based on where they're from. – The Grid (talk) 02:15, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi all, I've added the subsection "Academic Research" to the section "Inspired Activities". Please let me know what you think about it and whether any improvements can be made - this was my very first Wikipedia edit. Maxmuller100 (talk) 10:58, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
