Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

It is mostly gesturing to Sennett's argument and is similar to the "Shokunin" (職人) in Japanese, which does not imply the gender (direct translation: Shoku (職) means professions and Nin (人) means people). However, considering the possible sexist connotations it implies and the long-standing issue of sexist content in games, I will start using terms like "craftwork" or "Shokunin's spirit" for future writings and projects (after I have done a good research on the words and their historical contexts). (A big thank you to Vee for reminding me this issue! I was truly not cautious enough.)
