Talk:Charity Akita Event Equipment
Sean, how would you feel about this page being renamed simply Event equipment?
This equipment was purchased by Wil Lentze using money raised from the AAJ events. It doesn't belong to AAJ or Charity Akita (I accept that I incorrectly named the page originally as AAJ Event Equipment), it belongs to the JETs of Akita. Check out 0:20 in this video. The ALT Charity Groups simply assumes responsibility of it, as they can use it for their events, without charge, and in turn raise more money. I say this to try avoid any future issues. Say a future chairman decides to sell off the equipment for whatever reason. If it is named Charity Akita's event equipment they may incorrectly feel more ownership over it.

- I'm glad you feel comfortable calling me out by name in these talk pages, now :)
Good thinking about removing Charity Akita from the title. Event Equipment seems a little generic to me? I assume that the reason AAJ was in the original page title was not because AAJ owned the equipment, but rather that AAJ put on the events (which this equipment is specifically used for).
Since the equipment is owned by the Akita JET community at large, maybe Akita ALT Event Equipment?
--SeanC (talk) 14:09, 6 September 2017 (JST)- I'm pretty sure it's just the 2 of us here!! And maybe Jeff checking that we are not breaking stuff!
Akita ALT Event Equipment seems a little long. How about ALT event equipment or Akita event equipment? Or as you suggested is fine too, lol. Also, should the e's be lowercase in accordance with Wikipedia standards?- Oh dear, you're right; that is the standard, isn't it? I'm afraid I've probably been capitalizing pages incorrectly in that case!
As for the topic at hand, though, I could be talked into ALT event equipment!
--SeanC (talk) 14:51, 6 September 2017 (JST) - lol, I haven't been able to break the habit of opening up wiki and checking recent changes which I have done everyday for 5 years. Hopefully when I get more responsibilities with the Sendai page I will slowly disappear^^ I vote for Akita Event Equipment.
--Jeff (talk) 08:13, 7 September 2017 (JST)- So how should we proceed with this renaming? Event equipment, Akita event equipment, or ALT event equipment? --owencunn (talk) 13:35, 11 September 2017 (JST)
- I vote for ALT event equipment because, even though many of the events are attended by more than just the ALTs, they are run by Charity Akita, which is run by ALTs and represents the ALT community (self-appointedly, I admit). I hate to disagree with you, Jeff, but Akita event equipment seems too broad in its scope; it seems like it would allow this equipment to be used in events across the prefecture which are not related to ALTs at all. --SeanC (talk) 17:27, 11 September 2017 (JST)
