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.

But it had good spelling! =(

After looking at the revert and combing through the text, I could only find one spelling error, and minor at that. Did I miss a couple (allding was supposed to be allUding). I also rest a bit confused with the sudden change in the headline qualifier, and if need be, I can produce a source for my claims, check it out (and it's kinda creepy, one part) here you go. =).ĴάΛäšςǍ₰ my sig is my own opiate!

(psst, your moments of ludcidity thing is moving with the page...)

Sorry, without the diff I'm too lazy to look it up. I changed the header to negate that the Bible may have relatively "correct" history in it. History is easy to record. Science actually takes work. Your link is not exactly substantive, it's just a website claiming what you claim. By the same token, many events in the Bible have never been "shown" to be true, either. But thanks for coming here to argue your case with me, I am not trying to muzzle you... ħuman 23:23, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

(Psst, it's supposed to!)

Well, even a stopped clock is right two times a day. If the bible covers 5000 or so years, than I suppose being right four times demonstrates even less accuracy than a stopped clock. Never really thought of that bout of irony. A small problem exists with trying to find scientific accuracy, however. The bible isn't exactly a scientific work. There are, admissibly, MOUNDS of blatent inaccuracy, but trying to find accurate science in a fairy tale is like trying to find a needle in an ring factory, the two just don't combine. ĴάΛäšςǍ₰ my sig is my own opiate!

True - the only reason we even "entertain" the idea is one thing we are doing is debunking fundamentalists who think all the "science" that matters is... in the Bible. We have an article somewhere I copied a table of "biblical scientific predictions" from a, um, "science" textbook I own. ħuman 16:01, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

We're trying to have an edit war here. Stop making legitimate contributions.

This is ur first warning :P ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 18:51, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

You do lots of small edits. Why is that? ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 20:18, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

I find lots of small things that need fixing? I also tend to edit a section at a time to reduce EC's and load time. Why do you ask? ħuman 21:40, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

Because I do tend towards boredom. ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 21:43, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

There's a spammer in the forums....

who can blockz him? Sterile^snore! 11:49, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Where? Can't see anything.   ^Contribs_Talk 11:58, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Someone must have already fixed it and deleted the posts, since I see no new activity there. ħuman 14:53, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

He seems to be a very quiet spammer.--Bob^{bing up} 14:56, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

If the spanner fits... it must be the right nut... ħuman 14:59, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

I took care of it earlier. tmtoulouse ^oppress 15:21, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

(Whew, thought I was going nuts...) Anyhow, see you all in a week... (VACATION!) Sterile^snore! 15:48, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Mmmmm Nachos

God damn nAchos. ThanKs for fixing mE typos. You are good human. Ace McWicked^Interesting 23:42, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Num num num, nachos! Yr welkom. No big deal. ħuman 23:44, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

I tell ya though, beer and nachos sorted me right out. Hell yes. Ace McWicked^Interesting 23:49, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Er, "beer" = "hair of the dog", eh? Nachos, they be yummy, num num num... ħuman 23:52, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Hair of the dog is the way to go my friend. Get back on track again, face the world with a new vigour! Ace McWicked^Interesting 23:55, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Challenge

I challenge you to a game of skill. ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 23:56, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

A game of skill you say? Hmmm what did you have in mind? I am quite the chess player and I was pretty good at Quest For Glory - So You Want to be a Hero. Ace McWicked^Interesting 23:58, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Chess is not my game, although I love it. How about the game of moderating games between other editors, and still struggling to be "funny" - or at least original? How about Texas Hold 'Em? ħuman 00:01, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

(EC)You must assemble five varieties of classic paper aeroplanes. ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 00:01, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Er, um, huh <makes a run for it> Ace McWicked^Interesting 00:06, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

I declare myself the victor. ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 00:07, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Anyway, KAOS, you loserzor, what was your original intent? ħuman 00:09, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

To amuse myself. I had no real idea of the challenge's specifics.

Bye! ^_^ ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 00:13, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Er, ok. :) ħuman 00:16, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Main Page

Would you be willing to mock up a new design for the main page with the new WIGO on top? tmtoulouse ^oppress 01:04, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

I did that recently, but was asked to undo it. Therefore I claim ownership of this idea. ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 01:20, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

"What he said" looks fine to me. ħuman 01:25, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Okay, I put it here but something about it just doesn't look right. tmtoulouse ^oppress 14:00, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

What bothers you about it? It looks fine to me? ħuman 17:39, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

"Off balance" is the best way I have to describe it, I think it might be related to how the left hand side visual forms 3 boxes with the third box starting horizontally aligned in side WIGO box. But I am not a graphic designer/layout person, it just seems...wrong. tmtoulouse ^oppress 18:48, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Ah, I see what you mean. I guess the top section and the RFA/portals sections should be in their own sub-boxes? I'll tinker with your sandbox version. I might also color the lower left box orange (to balance out the purple and green!). ħuman 19:11, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Thanks! ħuman 21:12, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Work is hard.-- -PalMD ^{--Unhand me, scoundrel!} 23:58, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Looking good, though, from what I saw. ħuman 01:37, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

I agree with keeping links onsite. I had the link for myself and forgot to clip it...sorry.-- -PalMD ^{--Unhand me, scoundrel!} 02:25, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

The house we rented up north is full of mice and their shit...very long night cleaning, setting traps, etc. Hope I helped...Must sleep now, despite rustlings behind wall.-- -PalMD ^{--Unhand me, scoundrel!} 02:29, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

Good luck with the mice - perhaps you can just live with them? (Although the poop & pee is rather smelly...). You helped a lot, thanks so much for popping in for the fix-up. Enjoy your trip! ħuman 03:05, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

You're a bit tetchy today, aren't you?

Was it that I poisoned your shaving foam? That was legitimate satire! ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 00:01, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

No, just bored of your not-so-funny-but-very-active-verging-on-trying-to-make-RW-your-own-little-ED stuff... Just not amused, is all. As in, "you're not very funny, so why don't you turn it down a notch?" Wait until you actually have another bright idea to execute.

Are you talking about the homosexual mountains thing? ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 00:11, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

By the way, I might point out you yourself do the notch-too-high-humour thing fairly frequently. In all-caps. ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 00:15, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

Oops. I did that thing where you never actually say the most important bit:

Sorry. ~ Gloom_{(is never asleep)} 00:27, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

And it takes a true invertebrate to apologize. I forgot to recognize and and appreciate that. Mostly what I do here is add commas... is a comma one of your colony's somethingphytes? ħuman 04:34, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

AOTW

Moved in the new one, I encoded DPL into the actual extension, thoughts? tmtoulouse ^oppress 00:58, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

My only thought, looking down the road, would be to have a link to "previous weak articles", and that article would dpl or (manually) list the previous contenders (and some of their stats?). But I think what you have done is fine, it will be a while before there are too many listed and we have to simplify. Oh, it should say "Previous weak articles:" or "Previous weaks:" Gotta wank that meme! ħuman 01:14, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

Okay I can change the wording, I originally had it in there but thought it was too repetitive. When the day comes that we have too many to list like that I will create my "search" index for it. I am playing with a stats program here will be adding graphing and maybe a Tukey test. At the moment its just average and standard deviation. tmtoulouse ^oppress 01:19, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

Repetitive? Perhaps. But it's our joke, our meme, and our "get out of jail free" card if we don't do a new one every weak. Also, when you "computerize" it, can you at least make it so I can edit the "text" parts without breaking the semicolons? ħuman 01:24, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

Big News

I just wanted to let you know that RW now contains now just the most comprehensive and concise set of material on literature worldwide and throughout history, but that (thanks to you!) we also have the most concise treatment of literary criticism as well! You can see it here! I have checked our Google rankings for "RationalWiki literature concise worldwide complete efforts pretty language", and while we're already probably at number seven for the results: and no doubt moving up! Also, I have a source at a major atheist website that tells me that something big is probably going to happen to boost our reach soon!--Tom Moore^{fiat justitia ruat coelum} 04:47, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
