User talk:Human

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!?!?!?!!?

Archives for this talk page: Archive list (new)

See the history of vandalism to this article

So what is next?

Now what? tmtoulouse ^plague 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... ħuman 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 ^plague 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. ħuman 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 ^plague 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 ^plague 17:00, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Heh, I'm back to disapproving the whole concept. People can make their own bookmarks ;) ħuman 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. ħuman 00:01, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

Rounding error

:P <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!^{Nobody likes nothing. I certainly wish with all my heart that it did not exist.} 15:27, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

Hehe... they did actually round it the wrong way, but still. ħuman 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!^{Nobody likes nothing. I certainly wish with all my heart that it did not exist.} 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! ħuman 15:35, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

Especially considering how small Swedish people are. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!^{Nobody likes nothing. I certainly wish with all my heart that it did not exist.} 15:38, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

By the way, I've replied to you on talk:Narconon. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!^{Nobody likes nothing. I certainly wish with all my heart that it did not exist.} 15:54, 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? SirChuckB^{Obama/Biden? 2012} 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. ħuman 15:29, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

PS, you spelled ellipses wrong, I think... ħuman 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::SirChuckB^{Obama/Biden? 2012} 15:36, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

How about "el...ipses are fun"? ħuman 15:40, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

That's good, I'm gonna steal that one. :) SirChuckB^{Obama/Biden? 2012} 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? $\approx$$\pi$ 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. ħuman 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!^{Nobody likes nothing. I certainly wish with all my heart that it did not exist.} 16:32, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Maybe trolls don't but vandals do. tmtoulouse ^plague 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!^{Nobody likes nothing. I certainly wish with all my heart that it did not exist.} 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 ^plague 16:55, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

No they aren't! We have exactly two serial vandals. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!^{Nobody likes nothing. I certainly wish with all my heart that it did not exist.} 17:01, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Actually, we have a rather large number of vandals - and most of them are sysops. They just don't vandalize RW. ħuman 17:04, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Do I detect a Jellyfish reference, Human? :) <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!^{Nobody likes nothing. I certainly wish with all my heart that it did not exist.} 17:08, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Well, actually, we do—just not when anyone's listening. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 02:11, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Shhhhhhhhh! ħuman 02:14, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

How do you feel now?

Do you feel bad and ashamed... or liberal, after this grave accusation? Editor at CP^{Liar 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 CP^{Liar 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? ħuman 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 CP^{Liar at RP!} 18:36, 29 August 2008 (EDT) (going back to self-imposed block)

Redlink

Sorry, my page has been like that for quite a while, I understand why you changed it, but in the future could you please just leave me a message instead of changing it yourself? Thanks, I appreciate it.The Alien^{Sick Freak!!!} 02:30, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

Sure, I'll try to remember that... but as I said (?), obviously you are free to revert. No offense or trespass intended. ħuman 02:37, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

That is fine, no offense taken. I really could care less.The Alien^{Sick Freak!!!} 21:25, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

Is Fred’s contribution acceptable? This has been deleted many times. Proxima Centauri 13:40, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for the heads-up. Someone else already reverted it... ħuman 17:06, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

Did anyone notice that Deletedpage is now the fourth most-popular page? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:47, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

No, but why don't you tell everyone now that you sort-of can? But at least make the link to "popular pages"... Also, are you off "probation"? Gonna do better in school this term? Can you use us for "homework" credit at least? ħuman 23:51, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

Was that sarcastic? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:53, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

No, my parents are just being nice and letting me use their computer for an hour or so each day. And I'm not going to school this year; I'll be getting a job instead. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:53, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

No, silly, it was "friendly". I hope things are working out for you! The tell "everyone" thing was a suggestion to put it on the "random" intercom... Some hot crackers are slow on the uptake sometimes ;) ħuman 23:58, 1 September 2008 (EDT)
