2008-02-02 04:50 < brown_cat> " some girls had the bright idea to dress up as nurses and sneak into Zac's hospital room. When he awoke, they were surrounding him and giggling"
2008-02-02 04:50 < brown_cat> xD
2008-02-02 04:50 < brown_cat> Wile_E_Coyote: do you watch many looney tunes cartoons?
2008-02-02 04:51 < Wile_E_Coyote> sure
2008-02-02 04:51 < Wile_E_Coyote> many cartoons, of all flavors
2008-02-02 04:52 < brown_cat> Wile_E_Coyote: there is one called (if I can remember) the chase - with Wile E coyote, sylvester, the mouse, and the road runner
2008-02-02 04:52 < brown_cat> <3 it
2008-02-02 04:52 < Wile_E_Coyote> hmmm could be, i'm horrible with names and numbers
2008-02-02 04:53 < brown_cat> same xD
2008-02-02 04:54 < Wile_E_Coyote> i just enjoy a good cartoon
2008-02-02 04:57 < brown_cat> Wile_E_Coyote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wild_Chase I cried laughing - it has to be my fave cartoon xD
2008-02-02 04:58 < bumm13> do ya? :)
2008-02-02 04:58 < brown_cat> omg, Wile_E_Coyote http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5547524872594491072 xD I found it ^_^
2008-02-02 04:58 < brown_cat> I haven't seen it in ages
2008-02-02 04:58 < bumm13> I just got a new DVD of old cartoons two days ago :-)
2008-02-02 04:59 < Mike_H> bumm13: your cat!
2008-02-02 04:59 < Mike_H> he was typing to us
2008-02-02 04:59 < Mike_H> things like 44444444444444444445555rrtffffgvvvvvvv;;;;;;;;;;'
2008-02-02 05:00 < brown_cat> bumm13: what type of cartoons?
2008-02-02 05:00 < bumm13> yeah, I know :P
2008-02-02 05:00 < bumm13> I fixed him ;)
2008-02-02 05:01 < bumm13> don't worry, he was bothering me too :p
2008-02-02 05:01 < bumm13> (he wasted a lot of his canned food yesterday ;p )
2008-02-02 05:02 * brown_cat stares at bumm's cat
2008-02-02 05:34 < JessicaTaylor> Hello everyone
2008-02-02 05:34 < bumm13> hi
2008-02-02 05:35 * ronabop waves
2008-02-02 05:35 * brown_cat waves to ronabop and JessicaTaylor
2008-02-02 05:35 * Mike_H pets ALLSTARecho
2008-02-02 05:35 * brown_cat growls at Mike_H >:D
2008-02-02 05:35 * ALLSTARecho purrrrrs
2008-02-02 05:35 * JessicaTaylor wavies at brown_cat
2008-02-02 05:36 * brown_cat jumps onto JessicaTaylor's lap
2008-02-02 05:36 * JessicaTaylor pats bron cat
2008-02-02 05:36 < JessicaTaylor> aw
2008-02-02 05:36 < JessicaTaylor> brown*
2008-02-02 05:36 < brown_cat> ^_^
2008-02-02 05:37 < JessicaTaylor> I'm sick
2008-02-02 05:37 < JessicaTaylor> So you better stay away
2008-02-02 05:38 < JessicaTaylor> My stomach hurts
2008-02-02 05:39 * ronabop dreads infection via IRC
2008-02-02 05:40 < brown_cat> ronabop: be careful of people like bumm13 - just like our teachers say, if you hug him, you will get herpes and aids
2008-02-02 05:54 * ronabop fears brown_cat's teachers more than bumm13
2008-02-02 05:54 * brownceiling_cat looks at ronabop innocently
2008-02-02 05:56 < bumm13> excuse me? ;)
2008-02-02 05:56 * brown_cat gives bumm13 a present
2008-02-02 05:57 < ronabop> A lifetime present, that causes sores once a month or so?
2008-02-02 05:57 < ronabop> ;)
2008-02-02 05:59 < brown_cat> xD
2008-02-02 05:59 < brown_cat> ronabop: the present will blow bumm13 away
2008-02-02 05:59 * brown_cat hopes that didn't tell anyone O_O
2008-02-02 05:59 < ronabop> Ah. A .50 caliber headshot?
2008-02-02 06:01 < ronabop> A bigger sail for a sailboat?
2008-02-02 06:01 < arcimboldo_> http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk
2008-02-02 06:01 < ALLSTARecho> woot
2008-02-02 06:01 * ronabop ponders "blow away"'s place in phrases
2008-02-02 06:02 * brown_cat smiles at p858snake|laptop for the next hour
2008-02-02 06:03 < p858snake|laptop> is there a way to find out all the pages that a cerain user has made?
2008-02-02 06:03 < p858snake|laptop> /created?
2008-02-02 06:04 < brown_cat> there is a tool called wannabe sally i think
2008-02-02 06:04 * brown_cat looks
2008-02-02 06:04 < ronabop> As in, they made a one-word stub, or 1,000 word page?
2008-02-02 06:05 < ALLSTARecho> umm, GO GIANTS!
2008-02-02 06:06 < brown_cat> how do you get a user reviewed?
2008-02-02 06:06 < p858snake|laptop> ronabop: as in anything
2008-02-02 06:06 < ronabop> Per WP:OWN, I distrust metrics on pages a user has "created", but it might be nice for detecting stub-spam and users with a brazillion minor redlink edits.
2008-02-02 06:09 < p858snake|laptop> i was just intrested in seeing all the pages i have created
2008-02-02 06:44 * ronabop checks a page he created 2 years ago....
2008-02-02 06:45 < ronabop> Great, orphaned now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Inaugural_Bible
2008-02-02 06:46 < bogdan> hey.
2008-02-02 06:47 < ronabop> (it also dates me, back in 2005, we often cite'ed on an article level, not a "per-phrase" level)
2008-02-02 06:47 < Zenwhat> Hey, does anybody here know how to create conditional parameters in Wikipedia Templates?
2008-02-02 06:47 < bogdan> where can I find a bot which adds a "no source" tag to untagged images?
2008-02-02 06:47 < Zenwhat> In other words, I need to use a template within a template.
2008-02-02 06:52 < TheWeasel> Guten Tag you sauerkraut-eating attack monkeys!
2008-02-02 06:53 < ronabop> Tschuss bis Morgen
2008-02-02 06:53 < brown_cat> bogdan = bogan?
2008-02-02 06:54 < bogdan> brown_cat: bogdan = bogdan
2008-02-02 06:54 * brown_cat gasps
2008-02-02 06:54 < bumm13> howdy bogdan
2008-02-02 06:54 < bogdan> brown_cat: it's a Slavic name!
2008-02-02 06:54 < brown_cat> bogdan: ah, :)
2008-02-02 06:54 * brown_cat kicks bumm13
2008-02-02 06:54 < brown_cat> stupid godless communist american
2008-02-02 06:54 < bogdan> Eastern Europe! big fur hats! borsch!
2008-02-02 06:55 < brown_cat> O_o xD
2008-02-02 06:55 < ronabop> Zenwhat: The idea behind the template metaphor is removing logic from display. So conditionals.. well...
2008-02-02 06:55 * ronabop hates on MVC for a bit
2008-02-02 06:56 < Zenwhat> Ronabop, what I'm doing makes sense.
2008-02-02 06:56 < Zenwhat> I'm making a botstatus template for the Bot Status page.
2008-02-02 06:56 < ronabop> Zenwhat: I do not doubt that.
2008-02-02 06:56 < Zenwhat> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Botstatus
2008-02-02 06:57 < Zenwhat> My connection to NickServ keeps getting broken.
2008-02-02 06:57 < Zenwhat> Any idea on why this may be happening?
2008-02-02 06:58 < ronabop> First there is a nickserv, then there is no nickserv, then there is?
2008-02-02 06:58 < Zenwhat> Also, ronabop, in case you didn't get my message.
2008-02-02 06:58 < Zenwhat> What I'm doing...
2008-02-02 06:58 < Zenwhat> I'm making a template for the Bot status page, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Botstatus
2008-02-02 06:59 < Zenwhat> Within that template, instead of having users paste the active\inactive\discontinued templates within Template:Botstatus, I'm going to set it so that they can do that by just adding the text active, inactive, or discontinued.
2008-02-02 06:59 < Zenwhat> I just looked and found that I could do that with {{ #if: <condition string> | <code if true> }}
2008-02-02 07:00 * ronabop is tempted to repeat a 1999 rant, and decides not to.
2008-02-02 07:00 < bumm13> old rant? ;)
2008-02-02 07:02 < ronabop> Suffice to say that I think implementing a templating language on top of a scripting language on top of a programming language has its downsides. ;)
2008-02-02 07:04 < Zenwhat> What did I do wrong here? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Botstatus&diff=188582623&oldid=188578143
2008-02-02 07:04 < Zenwhat> Keep in mind. I'm not a programmer.
2008-02-02 07:08 < Lycurgus> Not a programmer? Off with ir head!
2008-02-02 07:08 < ronabop> What sets/populates 'discontinued'?
2008-02-02 07:09 < Zenwhat> {{5}}
2008-02-02 07:09 < Zenwhat> The fifth parameter in {{Template:Botstatus}}
2008-02-02 07:09 * ronabop notes that he's seen a lot of 'not a programmer's become just that....
2008-02-02 07:09 < Zenwhat> To get an idea of what I'm doing, also see this failed attempt at fixing it. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Botstatus&diff=188583219&oldid=188582623
2008-02-02 07:09 < spectie> is there a place i can ask about copyright issues on wikipedia ?
2008-02-02 07:10 < spectie> e.g. using wikipedia in a program ?
2008-02-02 07:11 < ronabop> spectie: two issues: wikimedia code, and wikimedia *content*
2008-02-02 07:11 < spectie> content
2008-02-02 07:11 < spectie> see #wikimedia
2008-02-02 07:11 < spectie> regarding the use of wikipedia interwiki link translations
2008-02-02 07:11 < spectie> in a free software program licensed under the GPL
2008-02-02 07:12 < Zenwhat> Wait, I should probably use a switch...
2008-02-02 07:12 < spectie> i'm writing up my research in a paper and i'd like to make painfully clear the copyright status
2008-02-02 07:12 < spectie> my program is a machine translation system
2008-02-02 07:13 * ronabop points at Zenwhat using conditions *and* switches, but not being "a programmer"....
2008-02-02 07:13 < Zenwhat> I'm not, ronabop.
2008-02-02 07:13 < Zenwhat> Also, I think I know what I did.
2008-02-02 07:13 < Zenwhat> I only used two brackets, not three for {{5}}
2008-02-02 07:13 < Zenwhat> Also, yes, using switches would look nicer.
2008-02-02 07:14 < Zenwhat> Also, I don't want to drag out your rant, but I think the way Wikipedia works is good.
2008-02-02 07:14 < ronabop> What does "being a programmer" mean to you, then?
2008-02-02 07:14 < Zenwhat> "Being able to do stuff". I generally can't.
2008-02-02 07:14 < Zenwhat> I can play around with Javascript and PHP, but I can scarcely remember ever making anything useful.
2008-02-02 07:14 < Zenwhat> I.E., I want to make this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zenwhat/To_Do_List
2008-02-02 07:15 < ronabop> http://xkcd.com/378/
2008-02-02 07:15 < Zenwhat> But I was confused by Wikipedia's help pages on scripting.
2008-02-02 07:16 < ronabop> Adding a scripting layer to a scripting language is fun.
2008-02-02 07:16 < ronabop> And, by "fun", I mean, "wrong".
2008-02-02 07:17 < arcimboldo_> Hehe, 18.8 Million points in Pinballs.
2008-02-02 07:18 < bumm13> Pinballs?
2008-02-02 07:18 < arcimboldo_> Space Cadet
2008-02-02 07:18 < bumm13> as in, the game that comes with...
2008-02-02 07:18 < bumm13> yeah :)
2008-02-02 07:18 < bumm13> that's well beyond my record :(
2008-02-02 07:18 < spectie> bumm13, !
2008-02-02 07:18 < spectie> you might know
2008-02-02 07:19 < brown_cat> p858snake|laptop: you there? there is a tool to see the edits like you asked earlier at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?site=en.wikipedia.org&username=YOURUSERNAMEHERE
2008-02-02 07:19 < bumm13> I might :)
2008-02-02 07:19 < arcimboldo_> I've never come anywhere close to it before.
2008-02-02 07:19 < p858snake|laptop> brown_cat: thankyou
2008-02-02 07:19 < spectie> bumm13,
2008-02-02 07:19 < spectie> <spectie> are word-translations i extract from interwiki links able to be included in a GPL program ?
2008-02-02 07:19 < brown_cat> np
2008-02-02 07:19 < bumm13> hmm
2008-02-02 07:20 < bumm13> I'm not quite sure what you mean
2008-02-02 07:20 < spectie> right
2008-02-02 07:20 < spectie> you know interwiki links ?
2008-02-02 07:20 < bumm13> yes
2008-02-02 07:20 < spectie> you can use them to generate a translation lexicon
2008-02-02 07:20 < spectie> e.g. cat : gato
2008-02-02 07:20 < bumm13> ok
2008-02-02 07:20 < spectie> ok
2008-02-02 07:21 < spectie> these translation lexicons can be used in machine translation systems
2008-02-02 07:21 < bumm13> alright
2008-02-02 07:21 < spectie> some machine translation systems
2008-02-02 07:21 < spectie> are released under the GPL
2008-02-02 07:21 < Zenwhat> OK, yeah..
2008-02-02 07:21 < spectie> for example the one i work on
2008-02-02 07:21 < bumm13> hmm, I'm not sure what the answer to that is
2008-02-02 07:21 < spectie> do you know anyone who might know the answer ?
2008-02-02 07:21 < ronabop> wikipedia still GFDl?
2008-02-02 07:21 < Zenwhat> Ronabop, tell me what I'm doing wrong here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Botstatus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zenwhat/Sandbox
2008-02-02 07:21 < Zenwhat> Look at those two pages and you'll see the problem.
2008-02-02 07:22 < spectie> ronabop, yes
2008-02-02 07:22 < Zenwhat> Yes, Ronabop. It is.
2008-02-02 07:22 < bumm13> are those links really part of what WP licensing covers?
2008-02-02 07:22 < bumm13> (I guess that is the question, after all)
2008-02-02 07:22 < spectie> iirc everything is covered by the GFDL
2008-02-02 07:22 < triona> They are, but fair use probably applies.
2008-02-02 07:22 < spectie> all contributions
2008-02-02 07:22 < spectie> noqe
2008-02-02 07:22 < spectie> rpognhas'ergojh
2008-02-02 07:22 < spectie> FUCK. FAIR. USE.
2008-02-02 07:22 < spectie> it doesn't apply
2008-02-02 07:22 < spectie> when you want to distribute free software
2008-02-02 07:23 < spectie> sorry for the outburst
2008-02-02 07:23 < ronabop> rpognhas'ergojh <--elder god?
2008-02-02 07:23 < triona> It's also arguable that part of the content isn't original enough to fall under copyright.
2008-02-02 07:23 < bumm13> I don't see how fair use applies in this case
2008-02-02 07:23 < spectie> triona, yes it is
2008-02-02 07:23 < spectie> triona, but where would you argue that ?
2008-02-02 07:23 < spectie> could i get a statement from the WMF do you think ?
2008-02-02 07:24 < Zenwhat> Ronabop, can you help me??
2008-02-02 07:24 < triona> spectie: you could try
2008-02-02 07:25 < ronabop> Zenwhat: in a bitchy mood, I would say the problem is trying to make templates smart. I would suggest crawling the mediawiki source, or alternately, finding a similar setup to what you want, and using them as a "cookbook".
2008-02-02 07:25 < spectie> furthermore
2008-02-02 07:25 < Princesa> White_Cat: You are in all chanels!!!
2008-02-02 07:25 < spectie> as some of the work is added by bots
2008-02-02 07:25 < bumm13> !!!
2008-02-02 07:25 < Zenwhat> I've been doing that. I can't find any examples so far, though, using if-statements or switches, or templates within templates.
2008-02-02 07:29 < TheWeasel> Wow, Google takes long to respond
2008-02-02 07:29 < brown_cat> mhm
2008-02-02 07:29 < brown_cat> a whole .4 of a second
2008-02-02 07:30 < TheWeasel> no, really
2008-02-02 07:30 < TheWeasel> it's odd today
2008-02-02 07:31 < Zenwhat> Got it working! :D
2008-02-02 07:31 < Zenwhat> Sort it. Right now, there's three {{{ where they don't belong, but it works.
2008-02-02 07:32 < brown_cat> very year google has an april fool's hoax (see Google's hoaxes ). Should wikipedia have something like this? It would be a great publicity stunt (like the google hoaxes) and increase the circulation of the other lesser know Wikimedia brands as well as livening up the image of wikipedia (as a dull lifeless encyclopedia).... and before anyone bags the idea, consider the advantages over the...
2008-02-02 07:32 < brown_cat> ...disadvantages Talk to symode09's or How's my driving? 12:15, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
2008-02-02 07:33 < brown_cat> We normally have a strange topic on the main page - last year was George Washington (inventor). Will (talk) 12:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
2008-02-02 07:33 < brown_cat> srry bout the flood -_- bigger then i thought
2008-02-02 07:34 < brown_cat> wow, aren't we over the top, a unusual topic xD isn't wikipedia flamboyant xD
2008-02-02 07:34 < ronabop> To do what? Make WP into the top 10 of sites?
2008-02-02 07:34 < brown_cat> ronabop: hahaha, no, possible allow people to (somehow) learn about other projects
2008-02-02 07:35 < brown_cat> also, there is never such thing as enough publicity :)
2008-02-02 07:35 * ronabop points at Di, Britney Spears
2008-02-02 07:36 < brown_cat> ronabop: she went through a divorce, her husband turned out to be a user
2008-02-02 07:36 < bumm13> Die, Britney Spears!
2008-02-02 07:37 * bumm13 ducks
2008-02-02 07:37 < Princesa> Britney Spears?
2008-02-02 07:37 < Princesa> The drunk girl?
2008-02-02 07:37 < Princesa> What's the matter?
2008-02-02 07:37 < shimgray> brown_cat: I think the idea is a nice compromise. We avoid actually having an overtly silly article (and, besides, which hours do we run it in?) but we *do* give people the same level of amusement
2008-02-02 07:38 < brown_cat> shimgray: it is not an article, I mean, imagine if we had something in the header or something like that :p
2008-02-02 07:38 < ronabop> Dookie, of course, is serious business.
2008-02-02 07:38 < shimgray> but why April Fool's? We could legitimately run that pretty much any day of the year, and indeed it might be worth thinking about.
2008-02-02 07:39 * ronabop doesn't see how that is not already the case
2008-02-02 07:41 < ronabop> Every day Raul654 picks something amusing, bizarre, obtuse....
2008-02-02 07:42 < Warpath> liek you ;)
2008-02-02 07:42 < brown_cat> xD
2008-02-02 07:42 < brown_cat> Warpath: herpes is not amusing

2008-02-02 14:50 < The359> If you want to report a problem with the bot, simply go to the Bot's talk page, or use its operators page
2008-02-02 14:50 < The359> Which is listed on the Bot's page
2008-02-02 14:51 < The359> [[User:Voice of All]] is VoABottII's operator
2008-02-02 14:51 < kaffeefilter> ok, im going to try again, and if its rev'ed, i'll contact the operator
2008-02-02 14:51 < kaffeefilter> The359: Thank you for your help
2008-02-02 14:51 < kaffeefilter> and of course, your precious time
2008-02-02 14:56 < kaffeefilter> yippie, no rev so far
2008-02-02 14:56 < Jerry0> whoa, is the english wikipedia down?
2008-02-02 14:57 < WikiHelper> nope
2008-02-02 14:57 < Mopper> Jerry0: I'm on it just fine.
2008-02-02 14:57 < Jerry0> I can't get any pages on it to load on my browser
2008-02-02 14:58 < Jerry0> they all give error "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
2008-02-02 14:58 < kaffeefilter> do other pages load?
2008-02-02 14:58 < Jerry0> all other wiki's and microsoft, etc... yes
2008-02-02 14:59 < loader> Internet Explorer... I don't remember when I used it...
2008-02-02 14:59 < loader> :)
2008-02-02 14:59 < Jerry0> can someone check if my username is blocked or something? USER:JERRY
2008-02-02 14:59 < WikiHelper> [[User:JERRY]]
2008-02-02 14:59 < Starnestommy> it's working for me
2008-02-02 14:59 < kaffeefilter> Jerry0: that's odd, works just fine here....
2008-02-02 14:59 < Jerry0> I am on comcast in the US midwest
2008-02-02 14:59 < WikiHelper> [[User:Jerry]]
2008-02-02 14:59 < kaffeefilter> well, if the page doesnt even load, you wouldnt have had a chance to log on, would you?
2008-02-02 15:00 < WikiHelper> Jerry0: you are not blocked as far as I can tell
2008-02-02 15:00 * Jerry0 is bummed
2008-02-02 15:00 < kaffeefilter> hmm, your userpage however is interesting :)
2008-02-02 15:01 < Jerry0> thanks
2008-02-02 15:01 < Jerry0> so nobody else is having a denail of service at wikipedia-en but me???
2008-02-02 15:01 < loader> it opens anyhow
2008-02-02 15:02 < loader> Your userpage is cool
2008-02-02 15:02 < Jerry0> wow that makes me so sad... I just did a 1 hour+ write=up about an afd closing for WP:DRV, and now I can;t post it...
2008-02-02 15:02 < loader> copy text to file
2008-02-02 15:02 < kaffeefilter> technically i think wikipedia:en isnt denying service to anybody, the problem would have to lie somewhere else..
2008-02-02 15:02 < kaffeefilter> ^^
2008-02-02 15:03 < Jerry0> I do have it in a txt file
2008-02-02 15:03 < loader> so it is not problem :) don't be sad
