Topic: Tag Alias: irlsealpup -> judylavernehopps

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

-1, this is a mistake waiting to happen. And I wouldn’t suggest a suffix or reversing the alias, you are literally suggesting an alias with an artist and a character’s full un-underscored name. There’s a threat of mistagging in this, especially from FA images where people do not space out the name all the time and instead use one word.

No matter how common or uncommon that name is, that is Judy_Hopps’ name. The website you linked has expired, so I wouldn’t suggest an alias go that unless it gets renewed.

The best course of action is: we sift through any images tagged judylavernehopps and separate between the artist irlsealpup, the character Judy_Hopps, or both. We should alias the full name to Judy Hopps since we already have her un-underscored common name in there, along with its underscored counterpart Judy_Laverne_Hopps.

Judy's full name is never used in the source material and the only reference to it is, I think, a twitter comment about a cut scene.

While there is a threat of mistagging, It's highly, highly unlikely, and if we went by your course of action, we'd also need to figure out what to do with basically any artist who's name is close to a canon character's name (and there are a LOT of pony artists who qualify) ... and if we do that, what about cases where the artist's name and a character's name are similar? There are probably thousands of cases where SparkleWolf_(artist) has drawn pictures of Sparklewolf_(character)

She was referred by such in the movie, by Stu Hopps.

There is a 0% mistag tolerance. This is why some of our present implications and aliases had been brought up before, they’re currently wrong and mistags are occurring because of them. Feel free to cite your sources. Mine is imminent_vore and kitsune, to name 2.

And yes, though chances are Sparklewolf owns their character and understands why the suffix is used. This is not a similar case, an artist with multiple names is not the same as an artist who shares their name with their character. Irlsealpup is not Judy Hopps.

https://twitter.com/_rich_moore/status/729172269725933569 <-- an exchange on twitter:

For those that don't want to look at twitter:
"What's Judy's Middle Name?"
Rich Moore: "Laverne"
"Byron said it was a secret... ARE YOU VIOLATING CONTRACT?"
Rich Moore: "There was a line in the carrot festival scene that got cut where Stu called Judy by her full name: Judith Laverne Hopps"

There is a 0% mistag tolerance. This is why some of our present implications and aliases had been brought up before, they’re currently wrong and mistags are occurring because of them. Feel free to cite your sources. Mine is imminent_vore and kitsune, to name 2.

Tags are mistagged all the time. we can't idiot proof the website entirely. That's why we rely on users to try and make sure that the tags are right. Now if some misguided soul did decide to upload a bunny picture, and boldly tag Judylavernehopps--no underscores, no spaces, not judith, but judy--someone will notice. Judy's the 5th most popular character on the site. People will notice if she's not tagged, or is mistagged.

We try to avoid tags that are misleading, misinterpretable, or unclear. I, personally, don't think that judylavernehopps is misleading. Especially as it's an artist name, not a character name, and anyone uploading here would notice real quick.

And yes, though chances are Sparklewolf owns their character and understands why the suffix is used. This is not a similar case, an artist with multiple names is not the same as an artist who shares their name with their character. Irlsealpup is not Judy Hopps.

The suffix is not really the relevant part here...

okay, irlsealpup has 7 posts. judylavernhopps has 79. One name is already clearly favored and, at cursory skim, consists entirely of the artist's art, and every judy_hopps is tagged as well.

I mean, I'd support the reversed alias if that'd make you happier, but she clearly uses her tumblr more--it has greater 'brand recognition'.

Cut content counts as official material. Just look at Jack_Savage, from an older iteration of the movie. It doesn’t matter when, it matter that it occurred. Jack Savage is validly tagged with Zootopia, as he is from an earlier concept.

We can’t idiot-proof the site, but we can idiot-proof the aliases and implications. Furthermore, the “idiots” used to have a large portion of control over tagging on this site, for instance it wasn’t until recently that we put a hard NO! on pokemon/digimon being tagged as RL species, despite people getting told it a thousand times over. People jump to conclusions and make dummy tags, mistags, or remove correct tags and they aren’t the people making / talking about aliases or implications. We have the power to prevent further damage, by making a foolproof system for tags and implications.

On certain sites, both using the character’s full name and the lack of using underscores are commonplace. FA is one such site, you will find judyhopps as well as Judy Hopps in the same tag pool. People bring over other site tag systems very often, often enough that people are told time and time again that E6 uses its own tag system. This includes proper pronunciation of a character’s name in tags, aliasing potential misrepresentations to prevent multiple character names for one character, and the managing of “dummy tags” where people misspell or use older names. This is Judy Hopps full name, and since we use Judy Hopps it needs to be aliased to the common (first + last, possibly plural) name we use on site. Judy Laverne Hopps is not IRLsealpup, Judy Laverne Hopps is Judy Hopps.

Suffixes are relevant on site, and sometimes mandatory. Any instance of multiple entities/beings using the same name (to a point) needs to be suffixed for precision, with site recognized suffixes so people don’t need to create suffixes all the time. It doesn’t matter how much or how favored a name is, the latter is wrong to use as it is a character’s name. And it doesn’t matter where it is used unless the artist uses it across multiple sites against a singular name on a singular site. Then popularity matters.

Now, I suggest you go and catch up on what you missed. The site staff have taken a firmer grasp on tags and their usages, because formerly such has accosted the site’s users at least time and effort, and at most it hampered the accuracy of a tag. This lead to the 0% tolerance on mistags, what was formerly tolerated had proven to hurt this site so no longer do we tolerate mistagging: we either fix it or prevent it.

You presented it as if the scene was in the movie I saw in theaters, which it wasn't.

We can’t idiot-proof the site, but we can idiot-proof the aliases and implications.

Regardless, it's still judylavernehopps, not Judy_Laverne_Hopps, or Judith_Laverne_Hopps, all of which are WAY more likely for people to type, if they manage to skip over the plain and simple Judy_Hopps.

The chances of this error being made are next to nothing.

Furthermore, the “idiots” used to have a large portion of control over tagging on this site, for instance it wasn’t until recently that we put a hard NO! on pokemon/digimon being tagged as RL species, despite people getting told it a thousand times over.

This is a case of misunderstanding of something that's not exactly obvious. we say "tag what you see" and, in fact, reiterate the hell out of it. people don't think "let me check before I tag this species" --they jsut tag and go unless they don't know what species it is. So by our standard rules, tagging a psyduck as a duck seems REALLY obvious.

Tagging by a characters almost-but-not-quite-full-name, without spaces is not going to happen. Especially when there are 14,000 posts that show the 'right' way to do it.

People jump to conclusions and make dummy tags, mistags, or remove correct tags and they aren’t the people making / talking about aliases or implications. We have the power to prevent further damage, by making a foolproof system for tags and implications.

people make mistakes. It happens, but they are the reason that the site is successful. I think you underestimate how many people are out there tidying things up. On any given day, there are about 4000-5000 tag edits made, with most of those edits being made in drips and dribbles. which suggests that there are a lot of people changing just a few tags. No, they aren't participating in tag conversations. They're out there doing their best to do the right thing. Mistags are natural. They happen. That's what aliases are for. "Oh, a lot of people are tagging "fluffy_hooves" when they really want feathering -- we should alias that!"

Foolproof isn't foolproof. We can try, but unless we do something like an interactive 'tag finder' popup, that suggests tags, or asks for clarification (Did you mean...) it's not gonna happen. Which is another reason why judylavernehopps is not going to cause problems--the system doesn't auto suggest tags. And even if it did, judy_hopps is more used.

On certain sites, both using the character’s full name and the lack of using underscores are commonplace. FA is one such site, you will find judyhopps as well as Judy Hopps in the same tag pool. People bring over other site tag systems very often, often enough that people are told time and time again that E6 uses its own tag system.

The nice thing about this is that generally, you tell someone once, and they learn. After all, on the side of every image is a reminder. And any picture that they upload with 'wrong' tags will be fixed quickly by the rest of the site, and, as you helpfully demonstrated the other day, they'll probably be corrected by someone helpfully informing them about their error.

This includes proper pronunciation of a character’s name in tags, aliasing potential misrepresentations to prevent multiple character names for one character, and the managing of “dummy tags” where people misspell or use older names. This is Judy Hopps full name, and since we use Judy Hopps it needs to be aliased to the common (first + last, possibly plural) name we use on site. Judy Laverne Hopps is not IRLsealpup, Judy Laverne Hopps is Judy Hopps.

No it is not Judy's full name. Judy's full name is Judith Lavern Hopps. Not Judy.

And we don't alias every possible misspelling.

Otherwise, twilight sparkle, the most popular character on the site, would have: twilight_sparkle, twilightsparkle, twilitesparkle, twilite_sparkle, twilit_sparkle, twilitsparkle, princess_twilight_sparkle, princess_twilightsparkle.... and so on and so forth. With iterations for 'princess' and 'queen', as well as iterations with and without _(mlp) after it. However...

"The following tags are aliased to this tag: twilight_sparkle, queen_twilight, twi_staff, princess_twilight"

Rainbow_Dash_(mlp), number two, only has two aliases: Tatzldash, and rainbow_dash. Not even "rainbowdash" --And yet, there are no posts tagged 'rainbowdash' on the website.

Fluttershy's got a few more, like twilight, because of futashy, and psychoshy and her gender swapped variant. Pinkie pie has 4, Rarity has two, and then we're looking at Miss Judy Hopps. Judy has one Alias: JudyHopps. Just that. no judy_hops, no judy_hoppes, no Judith_hopps, no judy_hoops... just judyhopps.

Suffixes are relevant on site, and sometimes mandatory. Any instance of multiple entities/beings using the same name (to a point) needs to be suffixed for precision, with site recognized suffixes so people don’t need to create suffixes all the time. It doesn’t matter how much or how favored a name is, the latter is wrong to use as it is a character’s name. And it doesn’t matter where it is used unless the artist uses it across multiple sites against a singular name on a singular site. Then popularity matters.

I'd possibly agree if you insisted that it should be judylavernehopps_(artist), but the artist name isn't goign to cause any confusion, generally. The most likely cause of confusion would be someone tagging irlsealpup, and getting judylavernehopps as the artist instead--but then they'd look at the wiki, presumably, and realize why.

Now, I suggest you go and catch up on what you missed. The site staff have taken a firmer grasp on tags and their usages, because formerly such has accosted the site’s users at least time and effort, and at most it hampered the accuracy of a tag. This lead to the 0% tolerance on mistags, what was formerly tolerated had proven to hurt this site so no longer do we tolerate mistagging: we either fix it or prevent it.

Excuse me, do you please think you could stop being so condescending? I've been told by the administration already that they have no problems with my actions or opinions (as of that moment in time). I'm in IRC regularly. I've made it very clear on several occasions that I'm open to feed back. I'm not saying "lol mistags are fine"... I'm saying mistags *happen* ... they are unpreventable. My *assessment* of this tag is that it's unlikely to cause a problem. Others--like you--are welcome to disagree with me. This is my own, personal, opinion. I'm stating it here, as I do on many tagging threads. I'm not always right. I'm willing to admit that. But right now, I stand by my opinion, with is worth as much as the next person's. c_c Geeze, man.

Updated by anonymous

You sincerely suggest that people should be OK when tagging a RL species for a pokemon? You talked to the administration, maybe you should ask them about that...

Next to nothing isn’t nothing, “imminent_vore” would be next to nothing and look where that’s got us. You studied the amount of tags done on site, but how much of those tags were due to them being fixed?

There is a tag suggester, unfortunately it is deep in the settings and basically useless unless you do manual tag projects... except there also is a tag suggester when editing a post’s tags, and those are site managed. They may not always be right, but it’s better than the person being wrong due to themselves only. I would bring up the wikis, those would be pretty relevant for minimizing mistakes, but they’re very rarely used.

No, they do not learn. Nobody learns from their own mistakes alone, that is a fantasy fed to people who were told they did right. If you were right, I wouldn’t have the evidence of countless records of people being repeatedly told they were wrong. If people stopped and listened, maybe that’d be changed too, but that doesn’t occur either.

A full name is a first, a middle, and as many last names a person has. This excludes titles, but they’re irrelevant. You use your full name and one is given to you because out of everyone of this entire world, there is always a chance of one person sharing your first and last name. A middle name makes the statistic nearly impossible for sharing a full name with someone who isn’t a twin (and sometimes it’s used to distinguish twins). You cannot lie to me, and therefore others who read what you wrote, that her last name is not Leverne from some official source, spoiler or not.

We do alias misspellings, I already linked evidence in Judy’s wiki. Guess what name, with no underscore, is aliased. It is a misspelling of the tag Judy_Hopps. We are lucky that MLP characters are well kept, but we are dealing with literally the most popular character from a child’s movie, drawn in porn. You can’t argue that misspellings won’t occur, they can and will.

The suffixing will create tension for people who will then try to suffix Judy Hopps. People imitate our tag system (sometimes) when creating their tags. Yet doing that only sometimes help, the active users (like you, me, and many others, abbreviate to the forum users) have to hold their hand so they actually get it right. Your aforementioned conversations with staff members, did you know that I was appreciated for fixing one’s mistakes? It really sheds another light when you see, for your own eyes, that nobody ever gets it right the first time. I’d link you my example, but they are no longer online and they told me to not use them by name as an example. I can only refer to their actions.

I’d wish you wouldn’t be so stubborn, and not cast judgement on me as if you were in a position to do so from the start. I, too, talk to admins to make sure I don’t do anything wrong, and they outright tell me when I do something wrong. I can provide evidence and i’m not afraid to admit my faults. But saying your opinion can be incorrect doesn’t prevent me from disputing it further, and unless you bring evidence against it I am explaining to you that unclear and misleading names have unintended negative effects on this site. I have seen the time when we fixed that with my own eyes, you should see it as well (we fortunately have records since we don’t delete forum posts) so you can know where I’m coming from.

I meant something more like autocomplete. AS in, type in "ju" and get judy_hopps, jumping, jungle, justmegabenewell, julius_zimmerman, jumpsuit, etc." AS in, type "judy" and see Judy_hopps, judylavernehopps, judy_jetson, Judy, Judy_(elzzombie), judy_clops, and judy-hoppswilde"

Not the 'list of tags often seen along side these other tags' or similar. Autocomplete style.

Well, how about just blacklist each other? This was literally the answer I was given when a very similar problem came up. If we both will not work well with each other, why try working with each other at all? And let’s not bother with responding to each other and etc., I believe that we can both agree that doing so is not actually helping.

Reply to Siral, for those who wish to stay on topic.

Siral_Exan said:

No, I don't think that people should be okay with that. I said that it was understandable why people do that. Not that they should.

Next to nothing isn’t nothing, “imminent_vore” would be next to nothing and look where that’s got us.

I honestly don't know much about imminent vore. I don't know what you're talking about. I am uncertain why you mentioned it in the first place, or what I'm supposed to gain from it's mention. I can search the forums, yes, and see that there was some talk about vore/imminent_vore about 8 months ago that lead to changing a disagreed upon alias (that's good. I"m glad things were changed to better suit everyone)..

I can see that you apparently didn't have a very high opinion of what I and the rest of the people participating in the discussion 6 years ago came up with (and over about 2 weeks, so it wasn't rushed). Of course, at that time, the vore related tags were a mess with a minimum of implications and aliases at all... but that is beside the point.

The only think I can think is that you're purposefully throwing imminent vore into my face as an example of mistakes of made in the past? I honestly don't know, Siral.

You studied the amount of tags done on site, but how much of those tags were due to them being fixed?

*soft sigh* I will examine the two pages of "tag history". There are 200 tag edits here. They cover roughly the span of an hour.

Tag edit typeNumber %?Notes?
Adding some tags11758.5% Mostly adding 1-5, but some were 40+
New Post4522.5%
Deletions 178.5% Often paired with adding a few. Commonly seen as typo correction. There were 2 posts where 1 tag was deleted and 30 or so added.
No edit84%I don't know why, but some times it registers a tag edit with no changes.
"Other"115.5%These were adding parents, changing JUST the rating, and removing translation_request while adding translated. Not technically a correction.
Total198Mustsa misplaced one or two. Whoops.

So. Define fixed? Removed for being bad? 17. Added because it was missing? 117. There were 2 or three people carefully tagging things like threesomes, while others carefully enforced tag what you see. Others were just adding tags to sparse images.

my prior 'studying' was looking here: https://e621.net/report/tag_updates -- I set it to a 24 hour period and changed the limit to 30. ... 'other' by the way, is 'everyone else'. There's some neat info to see there. There's also pages for wiki, notes and uploads. :)

There is a tag suggester, unfortunately it is deep in the settings and basically useless unless you do manual tag projects...

Do... you mean the quick tags? Those are pretty useful, for manual tagging projects. :) They only contain what tags you put in, however. No automatic suggestions.

except there also is a tag suggester when editing a post’s tags, and those are site managed. They may not always be right, but it’s better than the person being wrong due to themselves only.

I would think that those are a list of 'what tags are seen most commonly with this tag'... which is very useful sometimes! As I said below, I meant more of an auto-complete sort of thing. :)

I would bring up the wikis, those would be pretty relevant for minimizing mistakes, but they’re very rarely used.

They do help, though. However, for the matter at hand, the biggest tip off will be that the name will not be listed as a 'character' but as an artist.

The wikis do need some tender love and care, though, especially for 'see also' and 'related' tags. However, not really relevant here and now..

No, they do not learn. Nobody learns from their own mistakes alone, that is a fantasy fed to people who were told they did right. If you were right, I wouldn’t have the evidence of countless records of people being repeatedly told they were wrong. If people stopped and listened, maybe that’d be changed too, but that doesn’t occur either.

You sound pretty burned out, hun. Maybe you should take a break for a while? I mean that honestly: You can grow to hate a place if it gets too frustrating, and it can be a lot easier to take a break for a week or two and come back refreshed.

BUt you're right. NO one learns from their mistakes alone. that's why I said that you had to tell them about it. And people *do* learn. I mean, I've got a whole inbox of messages from 6 years ago that basically go as follows:

SnowWolf: Hey! You're doing a thing that isn't quite right. When this is the case, you should do this instead! Look here for more information! But thanks for helping to make e621 a better place! :D Feel free to ask if you have any questions about anything!
Person: Oh no! I'm sorry! I didn't know! Thank you for telling me!
SnowWolf: It's not a big deal, so don't sweat it too much! It only took a moment to fix! :D

And they *learned*. Fff.. somewhere around here I still have a folder of 'form letters' that describe things like 'things to tag on a new upload' or the basics of 'tag what you see' or "how to use your blacklist" or my favorite "please don't be creepy"

People who post here, and edit here want to help out. They don't want to hurt the site. It's about wanting to contribute--or at least make things Less Wrong. So they're generally pretty open to gentle and upbeat corrections.

Of course, for part of my time, there was no such thing as a neutral record...

... that said, some people don't learn, that's true. But in my experience, most people do.

A full name is a first, a middle, and as many last names a person has. This excludes titles, but they’re irrelevant. You use your full name and one is given to you because out of everyone of this entire world, there is always a chance of one person sharing your first and last name. A middle name makes the statistic nearly impossible for sharing a full name with someone who isn’t a twin (and sometimes it’s used to distinguish twins). You cannot lie to me, and therefore others who read what you wrote, that her last name is not Leverne from some official source, spoiler or not.

Sugarpuff. Hon. My focus was on her *first* name. her full first name is Judith. Mine is Jennifer. She goes by Judy, just like I go by Jen.

My point was that if people were going to include her middle name (which I agree is Laverne!) as part of the tag, they would use the full rendering of her first name.

Judith Lavern Hopps. Not Judy Lavern Hopps.

We do alias misspellings, I already linked evidence in Judy’s wiki. Guess what name, with no underscore, is aliased. It is a misspelling of the tag Judy_Hopps.

Yes, I know this is a thing, as I specifically looked it up also and related this information to you in my last post. But it is one misspelling, while there are MANY mispellings that could be made that are not aliased.

We are lucky that MLP characters are well kept, but we are dealing with literally the most popular character from a child’s movie, drawn in porn. You can’t argue that misspellings won’t occur, they can and will.

...

The MLP characters are also the most popular characters, from a children's TV AND movie, drawn into porn. MLP and Zootopia have the MOST popular characters on the site. They've surpassed sonic the hedghog, and krystal. Zootopia's been around for like 2 years, and Judy is more popular than Applejack, and is about 650 posts away from catching up to Rarity.

Zootopia is going to be well maintained.

Heck, while I was going through the tag edits, one person was correcting sonic tagging errors, while most of the uploads were undertale related (which comes up after sonic on the list.)

The suffixing will create tension for people who will then try to suffix Judy Hopps. People imitate our tag system (sometimes) when creating their tags. Yet doing that only sometimes help, the active users (like you, me, and many others, abbreviate to the forum users) have to hold their hand so they actually get it right.

Having to hold people's hands is not a bad thing. People are capable of learning. Shit, some of my favorite users were people who I got to know by sending them a friendly correction to their tagging, and they became very active participants on the website as a result.

Your aforementioned conversations with staff members, did you know that I was appreciated for fixing one’s mistakes?

N... no? You were not a topic of conversation? I was basically just asking "Hey, in reference to this thread, do you want me to undo what I did?" then we chatted for a while. I didn't ask for an opinion of you, or your history with the website. I wouldn't ask someone to gossip about another user, even if they were frustrating me.

And I have no doubt that you have been helpful before--I appreciated the comment you left correcting me about the changes to the rating system! Everyone makes mistakes.

It really sheds another light when you see, for your own eyes, that nobody ever gets it right the first time. I’d link you my example, but they are no longer online and they told me to not use them by name as an example. I can only refer to their actions.

I think by now, I've made it abundantly clear that, yes, I understand this?

I just don't think that this mistake is one that is going to be made repeatedly. It may happen once or twice. But it's very unlikely, in my opinion, and easily noticed and corrected.

I’d wish you wouldn’t be so stubborn, and not cast judgement on me as if you were in a position to do so from the start.

I feel like you misinterpret me considerably, Siral. I've never ever implied you were in any way bad or wrong for having your own opinions. They're YOUR opinions! You're very welcome to have them! Just, I have my own opinions. You're not wrong for feeling the way you do about this tag. I just disagree. And you disagree with me, and that's okay! It's NOT anything personal that we're having a disagreement about if judylavernehopps is to confusing to be an artist tag. It really isn't.

But I do take exception to people talking to me like I'm a small, somewhat stupid child.

The only judgement I've cast on you is that we disagree often. That's not a bad thing. Except that it seems to really agitate you.

And I don't know how to deal with that honestly, because, call me arrogant if you want, but I've spent most of my life as a peacemaker and am pretty used to people tolerating me pretty well, because I'm good at being amicable. I've been trying REALLY HARD, Siral, to mention that my opinion is my opinion, that I could be wrong, that other people might have other opinions, that these are just my own, personal, thoughts.

I've generally tried to be warm, accommodating and friendly. I've conceded ground, I've addressed your points individually, I've put effort into trying to share why, exactly, I disagree. I've been attentive. I have basically done everything but do the verbal equivalent of rolling on my back and licking at your toes to show submission and non-threat to you, while whining about how smart and clever you are. I don't do that. Not anymore. I'm allowed to have my own opinion, man. and I'm allowed to defend it.

Please stop telling me that my opinion is 'being stubborn' and that stating it is 'casting judgement' on you. Me saying "I disagree" is not saying "you're wrong." My opinion is not the be all and end all of the world. It's just my opinion. I'm not always right.

I, too, talk to admins to make sure I don’t do anything wrong, and they outright tell me when I do something wrong. I can provide evidence and i’m not afraid to admit my faults. But saying your opinion can be incorrect doesn’t prevent me from disputing it further,

This is absolutely true! So, if my holding to my opinion and continuing to dispute it makes me stubborn, than shouldn't you be stubborn as well?

and unless you bring evidence against it I am explaining to you that unclear and misleading names have unintended negative effects on this site. I have seen the time when we fixed that with my own eyes, you should see it as well (we fortunately have records since we don’t delete forum posts) so you can know where I’m coming from.

I understand what you are saying. And I agree. Unclear and misleading tag names are very bad things. Tags should bring clarity and have focused meaning. I understand what your point is.

*I* am explaining to you that, for a long list of reasons, I don't think that this tag would be especially unclear or misleading. I feel that it would be more likely to be confusing and misleading if the artist's displayed name is that of their rarely-used deviantart account.

Your opinion is that it WOULD be more confusing because of the character name conflict. I see your point, clearly. I simply disagree. That doesn't mean you're wrong. Opinions don't mean that one person is right or wrong. Just that there are multiple perspectives of the same object.

wish I'd seen this a few hours ago *sigh* My fault for not refreshing the page.

This may be the best option. I probably won't blacklist you--but I"ll avoid directly responding to you. Feel free to blacklist me, I suppose. I won't hold it against you.

And you're right. replies are not helping. We don't seem to be capable of communicating with one another without gross misunderstandings and hurt feelings.

For what it's worth--sorry.
