2008-01-06 06:30 < Discmon> you mean the spiders will like run up to the tiger balm and just stay there all day?
2008-01-06 06:30 < Drunken_Idiot> Discmon: Put a bit of tiger balm on them white one
2008-01-06 06:30 < Drunken_Idiot> :D
2008-01-06 06:30 < Discmon> anyway, I know that Ants like twine a lot. No idea why, but its not a good idea to bring twine to a camp
2008-01-06 06:31 < Drunken_Idiot> :D
2008-01-06 06:31 < Discmon> my campsite got swarmed by ants when I woke up the next day
2008-01-06 06:31 < Drunken_Idiot> Nice
2008-01-06 06:32 < Discmon> it was a great morning then... won't forget the amount of punishment I got after that heh (=
2008-01-06 06:34 < Discmon> what's the white one you are talking about?
2008-01-06 06:36 < TimStarling> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-operative_Commonwealth_%28society%29
2008-01-06 06:36 < TimStarling> argh... my eyes
2008-01-06 06:36 * TimStarling has clicked "random page" once too often and has paid the price
2008-01-06 06:37 < Lycurgus_> what are you talking about?
2008-01-06 06:38 < Discmon> a page with about one paragraph?
2008-01-06 06:38 < TimStarling> I'm talking about the terrible screenful of lime green
2008-01-06 06:38 < bumm13> ack, that is bad
2008-01-06 06:38 < TimStarling> which constitutes 90% of the article
2008-01-06 06:38 < Lycurgus_> enough.
2008-01-06 06:39 < Aqwis> oh my god
2008-01-06 06:40 < Aqwis> we should start enforcing sane colour schemes via policy
2008-01-06 06:40 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-06 06:40 < Discmon> lol....
2008-01-06 06:41 < Discmon> lime green isn't too bad, at least wiki has a white background ^^
2008-01-06 06:41 < Discmon> if it was black and red.... .....
2008-01-06 06:42 < cimon> good afternoon, gentlemen

2008-01-06 07:20 < Drunken_Idiot> Amazon.com
2008-01-06 07:20 < Drunken_Idiot> I hate it.
2008-01-06 07:20 < Drunken_Idiot> Never got my books.
2008-01-06 07:22 * brown_cat cleans TheWeasel's cage
2008-01-06 07:23 < Data|Food> I love Amazon.
2008-01-06 07:25 < Drunken_Idiot> Gnopher: Are you drunk :P ?
2008-01-06 07:29 < TheWeasel> Ew, freep. Obscenities in #wikipedia!
2008-01-06 07:30 < cimon> anyone here use wikipediafs ?
2008-01-06 07:30 < Drunken_Kitty> Huh?
2008-01-06 07:30 < Krimpet> shit! :o
2008-01-06 07:30 < Drunken_Kitty> fs ?
2008-01-06 07:31 < cimon> it is an ubuntu utility to mount wikipedia directly as a filesystem
2008-01-06 07:31 < Drunken_Kitty> not me
2008-01-06 07:31 < cimon> so you can edit wikipedia directly without using a browser
2008-01-06 07:35 < Chapter_7> Why in most of the books chapter 6 or 7 is the fun chapter of the books.
2008-01-06 07:35 < Chapter_7> Krimpet: Hugs
2008-01-06 07:36 < brown_cat> Chapter_7: Hugs
2008-01-06 07:36 < Chapter_7> brown_cat: Now you notice me
2008-01-06 07:36 < Chapter_7> :(
2008-01-06 07:36 * brown_cat glares at Chapter_7 suspiciously
2008-01-06 07:37 * brown_cat goes to check food
2008-01-06 07:40 < Chapter_7> brown_cat: you back yet?
2008-01-06 07:51 < Chapter_7> Warpath: !!!!
2008-01-06 07:51 * Chapter_7 plays you sunk my battleship with Warpath
2008-01-06 07:53 * Warpath sinks a battleship in pakistan :P
2008-01-06 07:53 < Chapter_7> Good one.
2008-01-06 07:53 * Chapter_7 shoots Indian F-16 in the air.
2008-01-06 07:53 < Chapter_7> lol.
2008-01-06 07:54 < Chapter_7> Warpath: Heard of Narayan ?
2008-01-06 07:54 < Warpath> common indian name ..why ?
2008-01-06 07:54 < Chapter_7> The writer
2008-01-06 07:54 < Chapter_7> I have to read 'The Guide ' by Narayan by end of Feb;#
2008-01-06 07:54 < Chapter_7> *Feb.
2008-01-06 07:55 < Chapter_7> Analysis and stuff..
2008-01-06 08:01 < ST47> O.o
2008-01-06 08:05 * TheWeasel finds a cleanup tag from April 2006
2008-01-06 08:06 < JohnReaves> Anyone know a good redirect target for [[councilmanic]]?
2008-01-06 08:16 < cimon> lol, year-cruft
2008-01-06 08:16 < cimon> https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Category:1701_by_country
2008-01-06 08:16 < thedj> lol
2008-01-06 08:25 < TheWeasel> Are "regular", "typical" and "normal" weasel words?
2008-01-06 08:27 < TheWeasel> 1701 was *the* year for England and Scotland
2008-01-06 08:27 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-01-06 08:29 < TheWeasel> Question above still stands, btw
2008-01-06 08:39 < Suva> Hmm, Georgian presidental elections
2008-01-06 08:40 < Suva> The data around the web is so conflicting
2008-01-06 08:40 < Suva> I wonder what exactly goes on around there
2008-01-06 08:47 < cimon> TheWeasel, I am tempted to create the year 1701 article for San Marino. "The '''Year 1701 in San Marino''' was uneventful. Nothing at all happened."
2008-01-06 08:47 < TheWeasel> :-)
2008-01-06 08:48 < TheWeasel> Again, are "regular", "typical" and "normal" weasel words?
2008-01-06 08:48 < cimon> no
2008-01-06 08:48 < cimon> not to me anyway
2008-01-06 08:48 < cimon> they might be in some contexts.
2008-01-06 08:48 < TheWeasel> okay, saw em tagged that way and thought that was stretching things a bit
2008-01-06 08:48 < cimon> I agree.
2008-01-06 08:49 < cimon> "typical" might be used in a rhetorical way...
2008-01-06 08:49 < cimon> as well as regular, but as long as they are accurate descriptors, that isn't a problem.
2008-01-06 08:50 < cimon> normal might be more of a controversial thing, if used in say sexual articles.
2008-01-06 08:50 < TheWeasel> Sentence was "an ordinary parliamentary democracy" or something
2008-01-06 08:50 < cimon> not a weasel word, but rather the opposite.
2008-01-06 08:50 < TheWeasel> or "typical"
2008-01-06 08:50 < TheWeasel> as in typical for northern Europe
2008-01-06 08:51 < cimon> I think it is more an issue of accuracy than of weaselwordage.
2008-01-06 08:52 < TheWeasel> well, there was no source that said what the specialities of Scandinavian parliamentary systems are
2008-01-06 08:52 < TheWeasel> but it was accurate for all I could see
2008-01-06 08:54 < TheWeasel> just wanted to know whether those words are in the same category as "it is commonly accepted" or "as is plain to see"
2008-01-06 08:58 < TheWeasel> They loved Saakashvili in the West because he was one of the biznesmeny that are so reassuring to many influential Westerners. Of course he was going to be a crook. But maybe that kind of quasi-dictatorship is what people in the US mean when they talk about "bringing the country together".
2008-01-06 08:58 < DannyLilithborne> ...probably not?
2008-01-06 08:59 * TheWeasel finds bipartisanship undemocratic
2008-01-06 08:59 < TheWeasel> but that's just me
2008-01-06 08:59 < TheWeasel> the craving that people have for bipartisanship is essentially the craving for a good king
2008-01-06 09:01 < TheWeasel> except watered down.
2008-01-06 09:19 < thedj> is there a way i can search my old contributions easily ? i need to find something I posted on someone's userpage a long while ago, but he has too many archives...
2008-01-06 09:21 < Kieff> google
2008-01-06 09:21 < chuck> thedj: he user contibutions special page?
2008-01-06 09:21 < Kieff> +site:en.wikipedia.org +inurl:user_archive_url_base "what you want to search"
2008-01-06 09:22 < chuck> i think the user contributions page has search
2008-01-06 09:30 < thedj> chuck: i only see the searchbox for the contributions, but you can't use that to "cross-reference" two searchterms as far as i know
2008-01-06 09:49 < Raging_Hog> 5th row of 1st paragraph, national institution-link's url is garbled(I'd fix it but I don't know if there is such an article) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Italian_Job
2008-01-06 09:51 < TheWeasel> it's not garbled
2008-01-06 09:52 < TheWeasel> it's just a figure of speech which hasn't got its own article
2008-01-06 09:54 < Raging_Hog> Permission error just didn't sound right to me. I thought it should show a "Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name."-page.
2008-01-06 09:54 < TheWeasel> I agree
2008-01-06 09:55 < TheWeasel> I discussed that yesterday
2008-01-06 09:55 < TheWeasel> it's impossibly rude
2008-01-06 09:55 < TheWeasel> I think it'll be fixed soon
2008-01-06 09:55 < TheWeasel> actually, it says exactly what you're saying further below
2008-01-06 09:56 < TheWeasel> but that headline isn't helpful
2008-01-06 09:57 < Raging_Hog> ok. Good thing I asked instead of making changes
2008-01-06 09:57 < kmccoy> Yeah, the "permission error" is coming from the fact that the link auto-directs you to an edit page, but non-logged-in users don't have permission to create articles.
2008-01-06 09:57 < kmccoy> I think.
2008-01-06 09:57 < TheWeasel> yup
2008-01-06 09:57 < TheWeasel> log in and it'll be gone
2008-01-06 09:57 < TheWeasel> but it's still inappropriate
2008-01-06 09:58 < Kieff> does anyone know of any freeware Hexic clone?
2008-01-06 09:59 * brown_cat attacks TheWeasel >:D
2008-01-06 09:59 * TheWeasel ducks and covers, like Bert the Turtle
2008-01-06 09:59 < brown_cat> hahaahaha
2008-01-06 10:00 < brown_cat> I love that movie xD
2008-01-06 10:00 < brown_cat> I like the song at the stard
2008-01-06 10:00 < brown_cat> TheWeasel: i like the way they say a newspaper will protect you xD lmao
2008-01-06 10:00 < TheWeasel> People in my family were told the same when they were drafted in the 1960s
2008-01-06 10:02 < TheWeasel> Actually, back in 1952, the effects of the bomb in that movie were considered exaggerated.
2008-01-06 10:02 < TheWeasel> the movie was criticized of scaremongering
2008-01-06 10:06 < Hildanknight> How can I use "high quality" as an adjective? Can I simply add a hyphen between the two words?
2008-01-06 10:09 * TheWeasel doesn't like "quality" as an adjective at all, but I think hyphenation sounds like a good idea
2008-01-06 10:10 < TheWeasel> like I don't use "fun" as an adjective
2008-01-06 10:11 < TheWeasel> From Rutgers style guide... "Don't use quality as an adjective, as in a quality product — leave that sort of cant to advertising copywriters. Use well made, good, useful, something like that..."
2008-01-06 10:12 < TheWeasel> "quality (adj.)" is one of my pet peeves in English, it's probably not false though
2008-01-06 10:15 < Phoenix-wiki> does Walton one come on IRC?

2008-01-06 10:47 < hot_pink_cat> Sfan00: I ripped up a book in the school library and got kicked out for causing trouble xD
2008-01-06 10:47 < hot_pink_cat> lmao

2008-01-06 10:48 < Sfan00> besides hot_pink is a girly color

2008-01-06 10:48 < Sfan00> Is hot_pin_cat a 'girl'?

2008-01-06 10:55 < Sfan00> You should declare 'website' income
2008-01-06 10:55 < Sfan00> Doesn't AUS have some form of VAT relife for young Enterprise anyway?
2008-01-06 10:55 < hot_pink_cat> Sfan00: I know what I will say
2008-01-06 10:56 < ST47> You know what I should do.
2008-01-06 10:56 < ST47> I should go modularize my image bots
2008-01-06 10:56 < ST47> Because they irritate me at the moment.
2008-01-06 10:56 < hot_pink_cat> Sfan00: I don't need to pay tax because, I will simply deduct everything off as business expenses
2008-01-06 10:57 < Sfan00> LOL
2008-01-06 10:57 < hot_pink_cat> ie. my camera, is needed to take photos for the company

2008-01-06 10:57 < Leslie_S> im scared of my tax return
2008-01-06 10:57 < Leslie_S> im hoping to get enough to get a laptop, but in the worst case scenario i will OWE MONEY.
2008-01-06 10:57 < hot_pink_cat> steadycam: coffee with clients
2008-01-06 10:57 < Sfan00> hto_Pink_cat: ah, coprate networking
2008-01-06 10:57 < Leslie_S> they raieed the tax and averaged it for the whole year for my state income tax
2008-01-06 10:58 < Sfan00> yeah that's a neat way of doing it ;)
2008-01-06 10:58 < Leslie_S> and i was on unemployment for a while
2008-01-06 10:58 < hot_pink_cat> :p
2008-01-06 10:58 < Leslie_S> which is notorious for under-withholding.
2008-01-06 10:58 < hot_pink_cat> Sfan00: I have learned a lot from my step dad xD
2008-01-06 10:58 < Sfan00> As is claiming pet food as 'pest control' :)
2008-01-06 10:58 < hot_pink_cat> hahahaha
2008-01-06 10:58 < hot_pink_cat> Sfan00: in reality, I don't need to do network - all my clients are forwarded onto me by a guy who is asked by people all the time if he knows anyone who can buy money :p
2008-01-06 10:59 < Sfan00> Seriously, the Inland Revenue in the UK accepted that as reasoanble for someone that ran a wharehouse
2008-01-06 10:59 < Sfan00> :)
2008-01-06 10:59 < hot_pink_cat> **build websites, not buy money
2008-01-06 10:59 < hot_pink_cat> I thought you said "that ran a whorehouse" xD ahahah
2008-01-06 10:59 < Sfan00> Running a brothel is not legal in the UK.
2008-01-06 10:59 < Sfan00> But it darn well should be
2008-01-06 10:59 < Leslie_S> its spelled warehouse...
2008-01-06 11:00 < hot_pink_cat> Sfan00: then how is t.a.t.u allowed to perform live?
2008-01-06 11:00 < Sfan00> Given that the current siituation is ridiculous
2008-01-06 11:00 < Sfan00> Who is tatu?
2008-01-06 11:00 < hot_pink_cat> or are russians not counted as prostitutes because they are not people
2008-01-06 11:00 < Sfan00> Russian girls in UK brothels aren't run legally
2008-01-06 11:00 < hot_pink_cat> Sfan00: two girls who when they were 15 created outrage by releasing a video clip (all the things she said) where they made out
2008-01-06 11:00 < hot_pink_cat> Sfan00: what about russian girl imports?
2008-01-06 11:01 * hot_pink_cat copyrights company name xD
2008-01-06 11:01 < Sfan00> Same thing... Trafifcking of russian women into prostitution is a big issues, and it's HIGHLY illegal
2008-01-06 11:01 < Sfan00> *issue
2008-01-06 11:02 < hot_pink_cat> I just censored myself :D
2008-01-06 11:02 * hot_pink_cat is proud
2008-01-06 11:02 < hot_pink_cat> wikipedia has taught me how to censor myself and others :)

2008-01-06 11:18 * NotACow wonders where jimmy is hiding
2008-01-06 11:18 < NotACow> he's been on freenode for 15 minutes but hasn't shown up in any public channel i know of
2008-01-06 11:19 < Dtobias> boo
2008-01-06 11:19 < Dtobias> poo
2008-01-06 11:19 < Mahlzahn_> goo
2008-01-06 11:19 < Dtobias> who
2008-01-06 11:19 < Mahlzahn_> loo?
2008-01-06 11:19 < Master_son> w00
2008-01-06 11:19 < Dtobias> doodoo
2008-01-06 11:20 < Dtobias> NotACow: You've got time for IRC and message boards, but not to update your blog?
2008-01-06 11:21 < gwern> NotACow: quick! let's make a vast leap of intuition and say either he's busy with something else or in a sekret cabal channel!
2008-01-06 11:21 < Mahlzahn_> must be a question of priority
2008-01-06 11:22 < NotACow> Dtobias: blogging is a LOT more work
2008-01-06 11:22 < Cyrius> gwern: he's obviously busy with the sekret cabal channel
2008-01-06 11:22 < Mahlzahn_> or he's waiting for the cows to come home
2008-01-06 11:22 < NotACow> Dtobias: it takes a couple hours to write a good blog post, but only secodsn to babble on irc and only a few minutes to spew bibble on a message board
2008-01-06 11:22 < Mahlzahn_> > NotACow wonders where jimmy is hiding
2008-01-06 11:22 < NotASpy> he's not in the sekrit cabal channel either.
2008-01-06 11:22 < Dtobias> "Blogging is hard! Let's go shopping!" -- Barbie
2008-01-06 11:23 < Mahlzahn_> NotACow: where is your blog?
2008-01-06 11:23 < NotASpy> he could be hanging out with the Arbcom.
2008-01-06 11:23 < NotACow> NotASpy: nobody goes in the arbcom channel anymore
2008-01-06 11:24 < gwern> NotACow: blogging really doesn't look that hard. I've seen many posts to Wikien-l which would've been perfectly fine blog posts
2008-01-06 11:24 < Dtobias> "Nobody goes there any more... it's too crowded!"
2008-01-06 11:24 < NotACow> gwern: from me? i haven't posted to wikien in quite a long time
2008-01-06 11:24 < gwern> well, no, in general
2008-01-06 11:25 < NotACow> gwern: some people may be faster writers than i am, or have more time
2008-01-06 11:25 < gwern> your blog posts don't look like they take a couple of hours, unless you mean start-to-finish, research and all
2008-01-06 11:25 < NotACow> gwern: typically most of them take several hours to research and write
2008-01-06 11:25 < Aqwis> you should write articles instead ;)
2008-01-06 11:25 < NotACow> and honestly i don't have anything good to blog about
2008-01-06 11:26 < NotACow> Aqwis: why would i do that? so someone could turn them into mush?
2008-01-06 11:26 < Aqwis> *shrug*
2008-01-06 11:26 < mavhk> you can always link to a historical version
2008-01-06 11:26 < gwern> NotACow: don't worry. I can see at least one article in the future - the audit. you'll be able to blog about it, if it ever comes out. and if it doesn't, that's something to blog about too :)
2008-01-06 11:26 < gwern> and the fundraiser, I suppose
2008-01-06 11:27 < mavhk> or write an article on randomwikipediaclonethatattemptstoavoidmushness
2008-01-06 11:29 < NotACow> gwern: i don't have anything interesting to say about either of those
2008-01-06 11:29 < gwern> (yet)
2008-01-06 11:30 < gwern> and what about Moeller? isn't that even a tad interesting?
2008-01-06 11:30 < NotACow> gwern: already blogged about, dude
2008-01-06 11:31 < gwern> oh. hm
2008-01-06 11:31 < gwern> and knol is too boring to discuss... well, there's that discussion about the ru WikiBook admin who has sort of hijacked the site
2008-01-06 11:31 < gwern> but that's probably going to be resolved soon
2008-01-06 11:32 < mavhk> drama alert is only at yellow then?
2008-01-06 11:36 < Popolon> hi
2008-01-06 11:36 < Popolon> is there some commons admin here ?
2008-01-06 11:36 < Popolon> there is a bug in [[category:SVG]] page
2008-01-06 11:36 < Master_son> see commons
2008-01-06 11:36 < hangy> #wikimedia-commons I think
2008-01-06 11:36 < Popolon> ok, thanks
2008-01-06 11:42 < NotASpy> gwern: what's that about the ru wikibook admin ?
2008-01-06 11:43 * Drunken_Idiot hugs gurch
2008-01-06 11:43 < gwern> NotASpy: apparently he stripped a lot of stuff out of the site CSS, like mentions of, y'know, WMF, and has been mendacious and insulting when called on it
2008-01-06 11:43 * gurch huggles Drunken_Idiot
2008-01-06 11:43 < gwern> so a steward is going to op someone by the name of delphine or something to edit the stuff back into the site css and de-op him if he interferes
2008-01-06 11:46 * JohnReaves points gwern to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/rights
2008-01-06 11:46 < Popolon> bye
2008-01-06 11:46 * gwern bahs. you and your so-called 'facts'!
2008-01-06 11:47 * JohnReaves smokes facts for breakfast
2008-01-06 11:47 < gwern> JohnReaves: from none to sysop, from sysop to none, from non to sysop? eh?
2008-01-06 11:47 < JohnReaves> apparently the user name was taken
2008-01-06 11:48 < NotACow> gwern: hehe
2008-01-06 11:48 < JohnReaves> oh, another sysop, odd
2008-01-06 11:48 < gwern> NotACow: I worry sometimes about people's competence
2008-01-06 11:49 < NotACow> gwern: it's wikipedia, you should assume they have none
2008-01-06 11:49 < NotASpy> ah, I only get foundation-l on digest, so I tend not to follow it as closely as the other mailing lists.
2008-01-06 11:49 < gwern> don't blame you. some of the discussions are darn tedious
2008-01-06 11:49 < NotASpy> that'll be how I missed the russian wikibooks drama.
2008-01-06 11:50 < gwern> I can't even read the threads about a meta-arbcom or that wikicouncil thing
2008-01-06 11:51 < NotACow> wood porn rocks
2008-01-06 11:54 < Drunken_Idiot> HellOOoo Sunshines
2008-01-06 11:54 * Drunken_Idiot dancing with his stick.
2008-01-06 11:56 < Drunken_Idiot> NotACow: want to dance?

2008-01-06 12:35 < Sfan00> Canada wants a net-music tax instead of paid music :)
2008-01-06 12:39 < Drunken_Idiot> Canada = www.spiralfrog.com free download music :D
2008-01-06 12:40 < Sfan00> "free acquisition of audio and music video files," - It's not 'free' material as it's still Copyright but give them some credit :)

2008-01-06 12:46 < Ceiling_Cat> hello all
2008-01-06 12:46 < rahull> taking chatzilla down with it too
2008-01-06 12:47 < rahull> Drunken_Idiot: do you know hindi?
2008-01-06 12:47 < rahull> :P
2008-01-06 12:48 < rahull> seems like the mac's uptime could be a problem
2008-01-06 12:49 < rahull> uptime is 11 days right now
2008-01-06 12:50 < Ceiling_Cat> so my photosubmission idea got 8 hits while I was on vacation
2008-01-06 12:50 < Ceiling_Cat> none of which actually followed the instructions, but it's a step in the right direction
2008-01-06 12:52 < NotACow> moo

2008-01-06 13:01 < Ceiling_Cat> Hrmm....
2008-01-06 13:01 * Ceiling_Cat needs an "Oops, you didn't specify a license" form reply for the photo submission OTRS queue
2008-01-06 13:02 < NotASpy> we have such a queue ?
2008-01-06 13:03 < Ceiling_Cat> NotACow - I suggested it in September
2008-01-06 13:03 < Ceiling_Cat> I was told the OTRS server couldn't handle it (it was nearly out of space at the time)
2008-01-06 13:03 < Ceiling_Cat> it got upgraded in december, I resuggested the idea, and I pushed it through last week
2008-01-06 13:03 < Shiroi_Neko> Ceiling_Cat OTRS never runs out of space
2008-01-06 13:03 < Ceiling_Cat> Shiroi_Neko - um, yes, it does
2008-01-06 13:03 < Shiroi_Neko> its like an infinite void that swallows you
2008-01-06 13:04 * Ceiling_Cat sends Shiroi_Neko down to the ceiling zen garden to meditate
2008-01-06 13:04 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: what?
2008-01-06 13:04 < Shiroi_Neko> Ceiling zen?
2008-01-06 13:04 < Shiroi_Neko> is that like the next alcove?
2008-01-06 13:04 < NotASpy> ah, I recall hearing about it. I'll have to annoy someone to get access to the queue.
2008-01-06 13:04 * Shiroi_Neko is a defacto ceiling cat now?
2008-01-06 13:05 < Ceiling_Cat> NotACow - we have a photo submission system in OTRS now
2008-01-06 13:05 < NotACow> Ceiling_Cat: yay, woot, whatever.
2008-01-06 13:05 < Shiroi_Neko> Ceiling_Cat I need a face hug
2008-01-06 13:05 < Ceiling_Cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contact_us/Photo_submission
2008-01-06 13:05 * NotACow honestly doesn't give a shit :)
2008-01-06 13:05 < Shiroi_Neko> NotACow we dont have the technology for shit submissions
2008-01-06 13:05 < Ceiling_Cat> the goal is to bring in more good-quality freely-licensed pics of living people notable enough to have an article
2008-01-06 13:06 * Ceiling_Cat facehuggles shimgray
2008-01-06 13:06 < Shiroi_Neko> so sadly you cant give a shit either way
2008-01-06 13:06 < shimgray> !
2008-01-06 13:06 < Sfan00> NotACow: Ansd when you submit over 10,000 Photo Jimbo and the cabal reveal the whole story about how the Human genome is an advanced project in open source by a pan galatical demensioal super computer running an AI?
2008-01-06 13:06 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-01-06 13:07 < shimgray> ah, tabcomplete
2008-01-06 13:07 < NotACow> so now y'all can have nice pictures on highly biased biographies of living people? :)
2008-01-06 13:07 < TheWeasel> "Oh, Hillary is still alive?"
2008-01-06 13:08 < Shiroi_Neko> Sfan00 no
2008-01-06 13:08 < Sfan00> Sfan00: Joke ...
2008-01-06 13:09 < Sfan00> ;)
2008-01-06 13:09 < Shiroi_Neko> entire galaxy is mere figments of jimbos imagination
2008-01-06 13:09 < Sfan00> based on some comments made by a certian Mediwiki developer who compared the cabal to a cult... ;)
2008-01-06 13:10 < Shiroi_Neko> Sfan00 cultists!
2008-01-06 13:11 < Sfan00> ??
2008-01-06 13:11 < Sfan00> Not that the cabal exists :)
2008-01-06 13:12 < NotASpy> what's a cabal ?
2008-01-06 13:13 < Ceiling_Cat> two wikipedians chatting :P
2008-01-06 13:13 * NotASpy thought so
2008-01-06 13:15 < phed> people use it to ridicule the fact that people are canvassing each other to push through edits
2008-01-06 13:18 < Ceiling_Cat> OH CRUD
2008-01-06 13:19 < phed> :D
2008-01-06 13:19 < phed> can somebody get me a pubmed article btw?
2008-01-06 13:19 < Ceiling_Cat> We got an email from someone who wanted to submit a photo about someone whose article was speedily deleted by doc glasgow 2 days ago
2008-01-06 13:20 * Ceiling_Cat headslaps
2008-01-06 13:20 < phed> err, I mean, this one: http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a713679675~db=all
2008-01-06 13:23 < Crazytales> Is there a mycologist in the house?

2008-01-06 13:24 < Kieff> there's always a mycologist in the house when you're dealing with Wikipedia
2008-01-06 13:26 < Crazytales> http://fukung.net/v/1337/smaikls-1165618041_i_9771_full.jpg
2008-01-06 13:26 < Crazytales> I was wondering what genus and species that is.
2008-01-06 13:27 < Kieff> that looks exceptionally like a flaking penis
2008-01-06 13:28 < Crazytales> Kieff: Indeed.
2008-01-06 13:29 < Crazytales> I was wondering what genus and species of mushroom that is, because it's really fucking weird and not something I"d want to eat.
2008-01-06 13:30 < NotACow> i love mushrooms
2008-01-06 13:30 < Sfan00> Hmm
2008-01-06 13:30 < Sfan00> Is it a 'free' image?
2008-01-06 13:31 < Sfan00> Try the helpdesk
2008-01-06 13:31 < Sfan00> :)
2008-01-06 13:31 < Crazytales> Sfan00: Ganked from /b/ most likely
2008-01-06 13:31 < Crazytales> So already raped as far as copyright
2008-01-06 13:31 < Crazytales> I could link though, unless fukung.net is on the spam blacklist.
2008-01-06 13:33 < Rinn> Why is there a WikiProject Furry
2008-01-06 13:33 < thedj> AzaTht: ???
2008-01-06 13:33 < Crazytales> Rinn: Why not?
2008-01-06 13:34 < NotACow> Rinn: because furries make hte internet go
2008-01-06 13:34 < Rinn> Because I don't like them.
2008-01-06 13:34 < thedj> AzaTht: this Safari bug is so strange.
2008-01-06 13:34 < AzaTht> thedj: I've heard that before ツ
2008-01-06 13:34 < thedj> yeah from me.
2008-01-06 13:34 < AzaTht> 5 ok, 100 !ok?
2008-01-06 13:34 < thedj> yeah weird. probably a corruption of a cache.
2008-01-06 13:34 < Crazytales> Rinn: There's a WikiProject Education in Australia
2008-01-06 13:35 < thedj> however i found another thing that also solves it now.
2008-01-06 13:35 < AzaTht> thedj: that's sadly nothing I can fix
2008-01-06 13:35 < thedj> which makes no sense, because i don't think this JS code normally runs..
2008-01-06 13:35 < thedj> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ATheDJ%2Fmorebits.js&diff=182568671&oldid=182548513
2008-01-06 13:35 < AzaTht> it does
2008-01-06 13:36 < AzaTht> it's the maxlag thingi
2008-01-06 13:36 < thedj> AzaTht: all runs hit 503 ?
2008-01-06 13:36 < AzaTht> yes
2008-01-06 13:36 < thedj> oh....
2008-01-06 13:36 < thedj> well i guess it doesn't like the recursion then
2008-01-06 13:37 < AzaTht> when the maxlag is under the given value, the server respons with an 503
2008-01-06 13:37 < AzaTht> thedj: uh?
2008-01-06 13:37 < AzaTht> what recursion? ツ
2008-01-06 13:37 < AzaTht> yes, it's a loop
2008-01-06 13:37 < AzaTht> I just tries to repost it
2008-01-06 13:38 < AzaTht> though it would be rather idiotic to create a new wikipedia object for each retry
2008-01-06 13:38 < AzaTht> as I have everything allready set up
2008-01-06 13:39 < thedj> hmm, i'll put some window.console.log("") messages in there to see what is going on...
2008-01-06 13:39 < AzaTht> and that code only runs IF lag is found
2008-01-06 13:40 < thedj> AzaTht: but that's the weird thing, i disable it, and everything works. even if there is no lag (at least no lag that i notice)
2008-01-06 13:40 < AzaTht> hmm
2008-01-06 13:41 < Lycurgus_> does any body remember a fable or fairy tale where a hen is making a cake or something and none of the other animals want to help?
2008-01-06 13:41 < AzaTht> thedj: the 10 first edits are also not affected
2008-01-06 13:42 < AzaTht> thedj: the code is only run of a 503 is given
2008-01-06 13:42 < AzaTht> perhaps safari is unable to parse JS
2008-01-06 13:46 < thedj> AzaTht: what was the diff again between this and self ?
2008-01-06 13:46 < AzaTht> uh?
2008-01-06 13:46 < AzaTht> aha
2008-01-06 13:46 < AzaTht> self point to the Wikipedia object
2008-01-06 13:46 < AzaTht> "this" is a builtin target to the current object
2008-01-06 13:47 < AzaTht> let just say it's not certain they are the same (they can be)
2008-01-06 13:48 < AzaTht> I choosed "self" as it was allready highlighted in my gvim setup ツ
2008-01-06 13:49 < AzaTht> thedj: see http://aza.nehle.net/~azatoth/js.png
2008-01-06 13:50 < OverlordQ> Lycurgus: yea
2008-01-06 13:50 < Drunken_Idiot> Bye
2008-01-06 13:52 < Lycurgus> OverlordQ: I seem to remember Henny Penny but that seems to be wrong as current web text equates that with Chicken Little which is a whole nother story.
2008-01-06 13:52 < thedj> AzaTht: phone..
2008-01-06 13:52 < Lycurgus> JS processed fine by Safari btw, unless configured not to.
2008-01-06 13:52 < thedj> brb
2008-01-06 13:52 < OverlordQ> def not chicken little
2008-01-06 13:53 < Lycurgus> yes, it's always like this, the right stimulation cause the recall: it is of coure "The Little Red Hen".
2008-01-06 13:54 < Lycurgus> s
2008-01-06 13:54 < OverlordQ> heh :)
2008-01-06 13:54 < OverlordQ> it's a commie fairy tale, so sayeth wikipedi :P
2008-01-06 13:54 < OverlordQ> *a
2008-01-06 14:03 < AzaTht> silence
2008-01-06 14:04 < thedj> AzaTht: i'll toy around some more with the Wikipedia object.
2008-01-06 14:05 < AzaTht> hehe
2008-01-06 14:05 < AzaTht> good luck
2008-01-06 14:05 < dirk_> hello I am trying to run http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/Contributors.php from a script. It works about five times, then I get the error message: "One of our database servers seems to be unstable.
2008-01-06 14:05 < dirk_> Tools may not work for wikis that are contained on the s2 cluster (german wikipedia and about 20 others).
2008-01-06 14:05 < dirk_> Some new disk are awaiting installation and will hopefully make things better." . But I can still run the php from my webbrowse, still my script keeps getting the error message. What does this mean?
2008-01-06 14:08 < phed> aww :(
2008-01-06 14:08 < phed> one good editor quit because of a pov-pusher
2008-01-06 14:08 < phed> damn those pseudoskeptics :(
2008-01-06 14:08 * Ceiling_Cat tickles phed
2008-01-06 14:08 < phed> mmm
2008-01-06 14:08 < phed> it's a pity. I really liked his edit because they were sourced in his library which is pretty good given the topic
2008-01-06 14:09 < phed> there's not many specialists in psychiatry criticism that doesn't cite pamphlets from scaremonger orgs
2008-01-06 14:10 < phed> but it seems certain editors thinks citing sources that state things contrary to the hegemony are inherently bad sources
2008-01-06 14:12 < Messedrocker> ps:
2008-01-06 14:12 < Messedrocker> nothing

2008-01-06 14:30 < gadfium2> Any admins for the veropedia forums here? The #veropedia channel is empty?
2008-01-06 14:34 < Schroeder> If you look at the tuning chart you received yesterday, towards the end you
2008-01-06 14:34 < Schroeder> will see a clef sign that might be unfamiliar to you. ?That is a tenor clef
2008-01-06 14:34 < Schroeder> sign. ?I wrote it that way because if you continue playing (especially if you
2008-01-06 14:34 < Schroeder> continue playing past high school, and especially if you do a lot of lead
2008-01-06 14:34 < Schroeder> work) you will see it more and more often, as the tenor clef is more suited
2008-01-06 14:34 < Schroeder> to the high-middle and high registers of the trombone and euph than the bass
2008-01-06 14:34 < Schroeder> clef.
2008-01-06 14:34 < Schroeder> To read tenor clef, you simply have to know that the little indentation in the
2008-01-06 14:34 < Schroeder> symbol is where middle C is (you probably refer to it as "high C"; it's the C
2008-01-06 14:34 < Schroeder> on the first ledger above the bass clef staff), and you can easily count the
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> notes above or below to figure out what they are. ?As you gain familiarity
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> with it, this process will naturally become faster and faster until the
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> translation from position on the staff to note on the horn is as automatic as
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> it is with the bass clef now.
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> Incidentally, that symbol can appear anywhere on the staff. ?It's only
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> called "tenor clef" if it appears on the second-from-top line of the staff,
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> but wherever it is, that indentation is still Middle C. ?For this reason, the
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> symbol itself, independent of its position on the staff, is called "C clef". ?
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> Although rarely used, the same can be done with the more familiar bass and
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> treble clef signs. ?The bass clef sign is called the "F clef", and the F
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> below middle C is whatever line the two dots in the symbol surround; the
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> treble clef sign is called the "G clef", and the G above middle C is whatever
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> line the curl in the center curls around.
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> erm
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> sorry about that
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> had the wrong thing in the clipboard
2008-01-06 14:35 < Schroeder> shit
2008-01-06 14:35 < phed> bah
2008-01-06 14:35 < phed> :(
2008-01-06 14:36 < NotACow> Schroeder: geez, you talk too much
2008-01-06 14:36 < OverlordQ> those damn
2008-01-06 14:36 < OverlordQ> tenor clefs
2008-01-06 14:36 * Master_son points a megaphone at LOUD_CAT's ear
2008-01-06 14:36 < Master_son> WHAT??!!
2008-01-06 14:36 < NotACow> i haven't seen a tenor clef in years
2008-01-06 14:36 < Schroeder> yeah, that was an email I sent to some of my band kids
2008-01-06 14:36 < Schroeder> the trombone and euph players
2008-01-06 14:36 < Schroeder> regarding part of the warmup packet I gave them for this year's marching band season
2008-01-06 14:37 < OverlordQ> for jazz band I had to play trombone parts, and transpose it on the fly :-/
2008-01-06 14:37 * LOUD_CAT IS HAVING TROUBLE MAKING OUT WHAT MASTER_SON IS SAYING
2008-01-06 14:37 < NotACow> Schroeder: it was a trombone arrangement that i last saw the tenor clef used for, so that's quite fair
2008-01-06 14:37 < phed> I wish I had access to tree of knowledge :(
2008-01-06 14:37 < Schroeder> I meant to paste a URL to a channel-relevant UF comic, but apparently it wasn't in the clipboard, and I've since lost it
2008-01-06 14:37 < Ceiling_Cat> phed - in the bible, the only thing adam and eve learned from the tree of knowledge was the shame of being naked
2008-01-06 14:38 < Ceiling_Cat> not a good tradeoff ;)
2008-01-06 14:38 < Schroeder> NotACow: yeah, trombone and euph are the only major instruments that have parts written for them in tenor clef on a regular basis
2008-01-06 14:38 < NotACow> Schroeder: one of my roommates in college was a trombonist.
2008-01-06 14:38 * Schroeder is a semi-professional trombone and euphonium player
2008-01-06 14:40 < NotACow> DIVE! DIVE!
2008-01-06 15:01 < Dtobias> NotACow: Can I come up above water now? I'm drowning.
2008-01-06 15:02 < thedj> do we translate names of organizations ?
2008-01-06 15:02 < thedj> i.e. Amaury Sport Organisation
2008-01-06 15:03 < thedj> in en. you would more likely have: "Amaury Sports Organization"
2008-01-06 15:03 < thedj> but i doubt that such a translation is in use anywhere in the world..
2008-01-06 15:04 < Aqwis> don't, it's so similar
2008-01-06 15:04 < Aqwis> no point in confusing the readers
2008-01-06 15:04 < thedj> that's what i thought.
2008-01-06 15:05 < thedjatclubrock> OMG Thedj
