Revision as of 15:53, 25 September 2008



Hey goobers, it's my talk page!

Just so's you all know, I have a distinct preference for continuing conversations on the talk page they start on. Otherwise my aging brain hurts! (ie, no table tennis conversations, please)
Anyone is welcome to nominate editors for demotion to sysop, and discuss the nominations here.
Sysops can summarize the nominations here

Let me rephrase that. If you have edited RationalWiki for several days, and haven't wreaked havoc (in an unfunny way), why aren't you a sysop!?!?!?!!?


Tracking progress:


Phail so far


Archives for this talk page: Archive list (new)
See the history of vandalism to this article

So what is next?

Now what? tmtoulouse harass 19:25, 22 August 2008 (EDT)

Well, polishing up AotW:Cpatheism for Monday, but that's "easy", right? Isn't it time for a drink again? Hahahahaha, lemme think of what we need... ħumanUser talk:Human 19:33, 22 August 2008 (EDT)
Yea AOTW needs doing, figure we would aim for sunday night at this point so we are back on our old schedule, I also really need to get the Best of bot working with the new WIGO. So can do that? Are we doing something with the other wigos? tmtoulouse harass 20:13, 22 August 2008 (EDT)
Yeah, the other WIGOs next "best ofs" too. Full automation would be nice... move the "end of section" thing I put in WIGO CP each night to about 5 entries down from the EZ edit button. When total list hits about 75 entries, move 50 to archive/best of. Build archives til they have 100 or 200 entries, then start another... By the way, I mellowed out the buttonz on the intercom a bit. ħumanUser talk:Human 21:11, 22 August 2008 (EDT)
Blegh, archiving is a whole other beast...so I have a new version of best of bot that works with the new wigo. After vandalizing the main page, it seems to be working now :). Check out how I am handling the archiving of wigo votes and see what you think. I added a "closed=yes" parameter to the wigo and that turns off the voting on that instance of it and instead adds small vote total at the end of the item. tmtoulouse harass 00:00, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Okay, Best of will nightly adjust the EZ editing section for each WIGO. Once a month it is set to archive and send to Best of WIGO CP. It creates an archive for that month, then moves everything >10 over to Best of and sorts by up votes. So we should wind up with an automatic monthly archive, and a Best of per month ranked by the voting. It leaves I think 15 entries after an archive. Etaroced 23:29, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

The other WIGOS I am not sure they get enough votes to justify a "Best of" or enough entries to justify anything but infrequent archiving probably best handled manually. And size of pages means a whole lot less than it used to since there is no longer a hard limit and also since you don't have to reload the page per vote. Etaroced 23:30, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Half your idea

Come help :). tmtoulouse harass 17:00, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Heh, I'm back to disapproving the whole concept. People can make their own bookmarks ;) ħumanUser talk:Human 17:51, 23 August 2008 (EDT)
Eh, that was my feeling. How hard is it to drag and drop and build what matters to oneself? Way the hell easier than arguing to customize the site to one's own preferences... I could argue that all my "personal" hotlinks should be sidebarred - but it never occurred to me to be that lazy. The time it took me to write this comment would have been enough to create a tab of bookmarks. ħumanUser talk:Human 00:01, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

Rounding error

:P <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!That isn't science, that's Pac-Man! 15:27, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

Hehe... they did actually round it the wrong way, but still. ħumanUser talk:Human 15:28, 24 August 2008 (EDT)
You're right. I probably wouldn't have covered it in the article if I'd noticed how close to a whole number it is. It's still a number they pulled out of thin air, though... <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!That isn't science, that's Pac-Man! 15:30, 24 August 2008 (EDT)
Right... you just grabbed the wrong joke ;) The 48/61 itself is BS. And that's a tiny sample! ħumanUser talk:Human 15:35, 24 August 2008 (EDT)
Especially considering how small Swedish people are. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!That isn't science, that's Pac-Man! 15:38, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

Block Reasons

If we created a random selector for funny phrases (like we do for Signatures and the Bush countdown thing) and then posted that into [[1]] Would that create a random block reason? Or would it just freak the site out and cause massive harm? SirChuckBPenguin Knight, First Class 15:26, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

I'm thinking it might be possible. First make the random reasons as a template, then try adding it as {{random block reason}} to the list and test immeditaly after creating to make sure it works. I see no reason not to try. ħumanUser talk:Human 15:29, 26 August 2008 (EDT)
PS, you spelled ellipses wrong, I think... ħumanUser talk:Human 15:31, 26 August 2008 (EDT)
Three things: A, sorry about posting that on your page... That's what I get for Rationalwikiing from work I suppose. 2, I will try that and see what happens, and III, no, it was intentional... no one ever gets my intentional misspelling gags...... ::Cries::SirChuckBPenguin Knight, First Class 15:36, 26 August 2008 (EDT)
How about "el...ipses are fun"? ħumanUser talk:Human 15:40, 26 August 2008 (EDT)
That's good, I'm gonna steal that one. :) SirChuckBPenguin Knight, First Class 15:50, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

More Holydaze

I have the last of the month thing working. So now it displays a hard date in the Gregorian calendar, the #th (fil in day of the week) of the month, the last day of the month and Easter in any year (I thought of a quick fix later that would have been alright for the next 97 years or something of that order). If we had some extra functions we could also automate Islamic and Jewish calendar events as easily as the Gregorian. Anything else you need? 22:52, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

Most of what you are doing seems to be working, congratulations. Here's the hard part to keep in mind: document how what you're doing works, so people less skilled can work with your production and not create disaster? In other words, write a "help" file (noincluded at the holydaze page) that explains how you accomplished all this stuff? So if other holydaze get added, people can do it right? PS, awesome work, I can't wait to go "live" with it. ħumanUser talk:Human 23:12, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

IP Block

I don't think most vandals know anything about proxy IPs. Look at Jinx, for example... ^_^ <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!That isn't science, that's Pac-Man! 16:32, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Maybe trolls don't but vandals do. tmtoulouse harass 16:38, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
Why? Vandals are just people who've stumbled onto the site and decided they don't like it. They're less well-versed in these things than trolls. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!That isn't science, that's Pac-Man! 16:51, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
Every vandal that I have seen is just a standard "wiki" vandal ala GRAWP/Hitler is a sensitve man. tmtoulouse harass 16:55, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
No they aren't! We have exactly two serial vandals. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!That isn't science, that's Pac-Man! 17:01, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

How do you feel now?

Do you feel bad and ashamed... or liberal, after this grave accusation? Editor at CPLiar at RP! 17:43, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

For the public:
  • 15. A preference for complaining rather than submitting new entries. Many liberal editors have complained 9 times more often than they have made a substantive addition, which violates the rule against 90% talk per 10% substantive edits. In some cases this has even necessitated blocking accounts.
  • 20. Instead of just correcting a grammatical error, liberals like to dramatically announce their superior ability to correct other contributors. Editor at CPLiar at RP! 17:45, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
Oh, man, why do I have to read about everything that happens to me on CP here on RW before I know it's happened? ħumanUser talk:Human 18:33, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
That's what RW is for! WIGO, WIGO Talk and the occasional Talk page notice are much faster and more efficient than skimming through all the CP Recent Changes. Happy to oblige! Editor at CPLiar at RP! 18:36, 29 August 2008 (EDT) (going back to self-imposed block)

I see. Thank you for telling me why you feel I shouldn't be a bureaucrat—I hate being left in the dark on people's reasoning for behind that sort of thing.

"Oriented to issues". Ask Ed how to stay on mission and contribute to a wiki. Ask him to recommend you as a beachrat, if you really think you want the responsibility. Personally, I think your 'rents made the decision for us... ħumanUser talk:Human 02:31, 2 September 2008 (EDT)
Sorry for the rather rude responses above, RA, it appears I was not being very nice. When I suggested asking another 'crat to do it, I did mean explicitly that I was fine with that - kind of the opposite of the "asking the other parent" thing - ie, you wouldn't be "going behind my back". I'm not saying "no you can't be one", I'm just saying "let someone else do it"... ħumanUser talk:Human 21:41, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

Look

if you want me to go away, just say so and we can discuss it. However deleting my work when I am in the middle of doing something (check the times) is . . . well fascist behavior _ or Stalinist or are they the same thing? i forget. So how 'bout you just back off for a second or two. okay? Carptrash 21:33, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

First, I have no idea what you are talking about, can you at least tell me which article? Also, the nature of a wiki is that is "live" - other people are editing at the same time as you. If you are trying to work intensively on something, leaving a comment so people know what you are doing makes sense, so they also know when you're done. Oh, and try not to take things personally if possible... ħumanUser talk:Human 21:36, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

Swastika And I've already been identified (correctly, I might add) as as having few lucid moments. This is not one of them. Carptrash 21:39, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

However while I was uploading this picture, a slow process in my part of the universe, sorry, my edits to swastika were deleted. And so it goes. You guys are pretty trigger happy here. - Carptrash" The trouble was that the "intermediate" (?) edits made no sense. As I mentioned above, letting others know you are "half done" will tend to ease such problems. ħumanUser talk:Human 21:44, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

As for the vents for the subway, I'd say the knowledge is more perverse than intimate. But I don't take a piss in public, trust me. Except one time when I was in Salt Lake City during the Olympics, but that is for another day.

Hehe, interesting. I don't bother with RC, but I do check the current blocks fairly regularly.

RC is what you said at the image page, you silly. They were perfectly visible at current blocks. Hmmm, unblocking vandals after a couple of days? Block that long are highly frowned upon here, a short block for cleanup and then putting them in the vandal group is what we do. ħumanUser talk:Human 20:10, 4 September 2008 (EDT)
I usually block for 8 hours these days. Although a number of days might be suitable for a persistant troll. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!That isn't science, that's Pac-Man! 20:21, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

Aren't we supposed to be able to talk about these things?

You know, the template classification effort does serve a purpose. Can we at least talk this over before mass reverting? Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 01:38, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

Better idea: let's "talk this over" before mass weird categorizing? See how talk works? Idea, intercourse, discussion, then mass reworking. You program seems to be "I can, therefore I will", with no discussion with anybody on the site at all! ħumanUser talk:Human 01:43, 5 September 2008 (EDT)
*Sigh* That's makes things exponentially more difficult. But you're right—I should have discussed it first. Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 01:51, 5 September 2008 (EDT)
Yes, your ideas were probably good ones, but discussion helps a lot. We'd probably need to do more than just cat a bunch of templates, we'd need to figure out where to show those cats to people. I know, I know, you went through a lot of work (all that default sort stuff), but you've got to get a few people working with you for the final results - have you ever tracked how Trent & I work together at times (and then present the beta version to the mob)? Really, all you need is another "power user" working with you (hint: the edit comments make everybody else back off in awe) and you could probably do what you are trying to do. ħumanUser talk:Human 01:55, 5 September 2008 (EDT)
Incidentally, I think RA's categorisation thing is a good idea. It could be more useful than our current template list -- although it obviously couldn't replace it completely. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!That isn't science, that's Pac-Man! 21:56, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

(unindent) Sure, that's what I'm trying to do. In fact:

You oversimplify. Sure, we should categorize our templates. But, what should the categories be? ħumanUser talk:Human 23:56, 5 September 2008 (EDT)
upneutraldown
0We should categorize our templates in a way that is transparent and useful, and easy to use, and offends no one (ie, calling their pet template "silly")

Yes, but don't forget:

upneutraldown
3We should not worry about that, because "silly" is a compliment.

Should I ask nicely for people to write in complete sentences? Like, many times I proofread badly written prose, and all I EC is "copyedit" - or, even in the case of egregiously crappy writing "tyop". A lot of what gets added to this site reads like low-grade WIGO-CP comments, and needs imrpoovmints. Sometimes I EC my frustration at this, yes. All I am trying to do is make things I come across on here read better. ħumanUser talk:Human 00:10, 8 September 2008 (EDT)
I understand that, Human. But when you drop "fuck" into a sentence, you come off as ANGRY MAN. As in, "ANGRY MAN IS ANGRY AND WILL CRUSH YOUR TESTICLES FOR WRITING THIS INCOMPLETE SENTENCE".

You're welcome on the link help. As far as the names, the one I changed I figured it ought to at least list the prime arguers on each side. You might want to tread lightly with adding links to "your" site, make sure that what is there is really good, to avoid having people think you are just link-spamming.

The conflict with toolboxes & ads is another reason for top righting it - jeeves brought my attention to it on the WIGOcp one. SusanG  ContribsTalk 18:17, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
The trouble with top right is that it will almost always be obscuring "something". Shame to have to allow for small screen :P. Does my current version here obscure the toolbox when in the "home" position for you? wait, 800 high? I had to set to start at 640 from the top, you should have seen it. Hey, can we combine it with Jeeves "hide/show" code ya think? ħumanUser talk:Human 18:35, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
Yes it's all over the toolboxen. the 800 screen comes down a lot with all the toolbars @ the top - that's what must have done it. The standard WWW3 screen is 800 x 600 to allow for old & small machines I think so it's probably not a good idea to work top down. (The EEEPCs have fairly small screens) Trouble with Jeeves code: It'll wipe out any div with plainlinks so not too good? probably just usen it on user areas where it's a matter of personal preference, unless TMT can make the whole top of the page float with the screen. SusanG  ContribsTalk 18:58, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
800 x 600 is so silly, but yeah, I still "build" to it on my webshites. By Jeeves I might have been thinking of BobM's - you remember the little boxes that could expand/collapse? Might not work well, just a thought. The top float thing could be done with frames, of course. But it would be a nightmare to integrate that with MW ;) ħumanUser talk:Human 19:28, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
Oh, you meant his collapsing boxes - good idea - thought you meant the code on WIGOcp that he wrote to remove the box entirely in javascript. SusanG  ContribsTalk 19:31, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
yeah... at least that way if a link someone wants in the toolbox is blocked, they stand a chance of getting to it. So, anyway, is it really a nightmare to get them overlapped on a short talk page? Like here on mine, you can scroll down a tad and expose the toolbox, right? Most of the point is to deal with talkies like mine, or WIGO, that get ridiculously long? PS, isn't it redundant to have a link to the talk page, on the user talk page-only version? ħumanUser talk:Human 19:41, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

I copied and tweaked your new version, too bad "hide" and "show" are not "small" too... as far as the reload to check for reply thing, I just close my talk page and go back to obsessively reloading my watchlist. The orange box does the rest... ħumanUser talk:Human 20:04, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

undent

Give me a while before tweeking any more - I'm experimenting with variables & it's getting hairy. SusanG  ContribsTalk 20:17, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
No big deal - I'm only altering the one on this page when I see things I like, your subpage and user talk page are your sandboxes, I don't alter them. Good luck! ħumanUser talk:Human 20:23, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
The one on my user page now works like: {{name of template}} puts it top right, {{nameoftemplate|left}} puts it top left; {{nameoftemplate|left|bottom}} puts it bottom left; {{nameoftemplate||bottom}} puts it bottom right. How's that? Exact positioning needs sorting. SusanG  ContribsTalk 20:31, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
Sounds good! Just matter of tweaking the margins I guess. Shame that they'll be all over the place ;) No one will ever know where to look for them! ħumanUser talk:Human 21:59, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Side-by-side

I still never figured out that side-by-side template stuff, just for kicks could you at some point toss myths about homeopathy into one or find someone willing to? It is one of the few crazy CAM non-stub articles at Wiki4CAM. I would like to stab at it when I am bored.

I'll give it a shot. Quick tutorial - the current version of the blank side by side is a series of table. Headers outside table, each table has one row, two cells. That way it's easier for people to edit and see what the result will be (they don't get mucked up "half tables" on preview, eg).
So: we've stopped signing, have we?
Yes?
As commanded, the whole pile o'mess awaits our responses at Wiki4CAM: Myths about homeopathy ħumanUser talk:Human 19:23, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Honestly!

Sounds like a challenge ^_^

Consider it done... New3.pngPink(Astronomy Domine) 00:04, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Well, thank you! I just couldn't stomach it, having read it all once. Just put it on your hard drive in some clear way (at least to you) for now? And then we'll discuss how to present it at Andrew Schlafly (no jokes) talk page? Anyway, if you can grab all that, you're my hero. Not as much as you are RA's hero, but still. I'd like to build some sort of side-by-side with it, but I'm not sure how, yet. What I want to show is how that prick silences, censors all intelligent comment about how clueless he is, while maintaining that smug veneer of lawyerly "above it all" neutrality that he affects. I'd like to see the final result hit the blogs (with massive due credit, hoping you get it done, to "Pink", of course) ħumanUser talk:Human 00:11, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Message

Hey Human, PJR left a message on your CP talk page telling you that he answered your question on his talkpage, so I am leaving a message on your RW talkpage telling you there is a message on you CP talkpage that there is a message to you on PJR's page.

I'm Done

I'm also fairly disgusted. What shall we do with our Dossier of Doom? New3.pngPink(Astronomy Domine) 11:53, 25 September 2008 (EDT)
