2008-04-13 20:43 < Lucifer_Cat> pleeeesaaaeeee
2008-04-13 20:43 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: lolwut?
2008-04-13 20:43 < Lucifer_Cat> as in about the nickchangeflood
2008-04-13 20:43 < SJ|Homework> Congrats to English Wikipedia
2008-04-13 20:43 < kmccoy> The new Segways steer just by leaning. It's much nicer than the older twist-the-handle style.
2008-04-13 20:43 < fruitbag> Lucifer_Cat: I really want to know the cartooning style of these shows.
2008-04-13 20:44 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: Messedrocker :P
2008-04-13 20:44 < fruitbag> Cartoons like He-Man and D&D were of the same cartooning style
2008-04-13 20:44 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: We don't get a lot of German entertainment programming here, though.
2008-04-13 20:44 < Mike_H> We get two news channels and a sports.
2008-04-13 20:44 < Messedrocker> The nickchangeflood is due to me relinking my names so that "Messedrocker" is the master
2008-04-13 20:44 < Lucifer_Cat> fruitbag: you have been down that road before. if you did not get an answer at that time, then not much chance of it happening agian.
2008-04-13 20:44 < Lucifer_Cat> but you have 3 tries
2008-04-13 20:45 < Mike_H> ThePolecat: The best known German channel in North America is "DW-TV"
2008-04-13 20:45 < Lucifer_Cat> burnin' hot buffalo wings anyone?
2008-04-13 20:45 < ThePolecat> that's just awful.
2008-04-13 20:45 < Mike_H> short for, well, you can figure it out
2008-04-13 20:45 < ThePolecat> yea
2008-04-13 20:46 < Mike_H> There was a channel called GermanTV here for a few years
2008-04-13 20:46 < Mike_H> which broadcast entertainment shows from ARD and ZDF
2008-04-13 20:46 < Mike_H> but it was bought out by...
2008-04-13 20:46 < Mike_H> DW-TV
2008-04-13 20:47 < ThePolecat> "bought out" meaning "taken over", because both are lock-stock-and-barrel government institutions.
2008-04-13 20:47 < Mike_H> Yeah.
2008-04-13 20:47 < Mike_H> DW-TV aired GermanTV programming for two months afterward
2008-04-13 20:47 < Mike_H> and after that they just went back to the old DW-TV schedule
2008-04-13 20:47 < fruitbag> .l

2008-04-13 20:48 < Rinn> [
2008-04-13 20:48 < Rinn> We broke fruitbag.
2008-04-13 20:48 < ThePolecat> Yea, DW sucks arse.
2008-04-13 20:49 < ThePolecat> I watched it in Turkey, then zapped back to MTV Mumbai.
2008-04-13 20:49 < Mike_H> Well, DW is just boring stuff
2008-04-13 20:49 < Mike_H> it's almost all news kind of shows
2008-04-13 20:49 < Mike_H> "this is what's happening in Germany today!"
2008-04-13 20:49 < Mike_H> yeah, that's nice
2008-04-13 20:50 < ThePolecat> yup.
2008-04-13 20:50 < Leslie_S> ooh, there was a catfight with two lesbians at work today.
2008-04-13 20:50 < Leslie_S> rofl
2008-04-13 20:50 < ThePolecat> when Mrs Merkel talks about "ze situ-eh-shn"
2008-04-13 20:51 < Lucifer_Cat> Leslie_S: did they fight in the jello offloading section?
2008-04-13 20:52 < Leslie_S> rofl
2008-04-13 20:52 < quanticle> Heh. Mud puddles are cool too
2008-04-13 20:52 < Leslie_S> Lucifer_Cat i dropped yogurt out of the dock once
2008-04-13 20:52 < Lucifer_Cat> Rinn: what did i tell you about riding roughly. see now you broke him.
2008-04-13 20:52 < Leslie_S> apparently one held a knife to the others face
2008-04-13 20:52 < Leslie_S> seriously, wtf.
2008-04-13 20:52 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: but you cant lick the winner after a mud fight
2008-04-13 20:52 < Lucifer_Cat> >_<
2008-04-13 20:53 < Lucifer_Cat> i give myself all the wrong images
2008-04-13 20:53 < Leslie_S> ...
2008-04-13 20:53 < Leslie_S> omg
2008-04-13 20:54 < Leslie_S> heh, walmarts always have a company digital camera in the managers office.
2008-04-13 20:54 < Leslie_S> It gets taken to recieving quite often.
2008-04-13 20:54 < Leslie_S> we get horribly disfigured loads all the time.
2008-04-13 20:55 < Leslie_S> one time in particular, we had to open the trailer door with a forklift, it was jammed shut
2008-04-13 20:56 < Lucifer_Cat> Leslie_S: i'd have used explosive charges.
2008-04-13 20:57 < Leslie_S> bleh, im trying to listen to cute music to cheer myself up
2008-04-13 20:58 < Lucifer_Cat> someone ping me!
2008-04-13 20:59 < Lucifer_Cat> noo... im not seeking for attention... i think im lagging
2008-04-13 21:02 < Enterprise_Cat> !pingpong Lucifer_Cat
2008-04-13 21:02 < Messedrocker> i love butter pecan ice cream
2008-04-13 21:02 < Messedrocker> it takes like cookie batter
2008-04-13 21:03 < melikbilge> !pingpong aib
2008-04-13 21:04 < Leslie_S> Messedrocker heh, i bought one of those packs of cookie dough squares. I ate them, but i didnt cook a single one.
2008-04-13 21:04 < Leslie_S> Messedrocker people are like "OMG, that mustve made you sick!"...i didnt eat it all at once though. it was like half of it one day and the other half the next. lol.
2008-04-13 21:04 < Leslie_S> but it tastes way better than cookies ;/
2008-04-13 21:04 < Messedrocker> some cookie dough you can eat raw
2008-04-13 21:04 < Messedrocker> it depends on the egg content
2008-04-13 21:05 < Leslie_S> Messedrocker well, the idea is, thats a lot of sugar and other crap.
2008-04-13 21:05 < Leslie_S> Messedrocker but they basically assumed i ate it all at once
2008-04-13 21:06 < Leslie_S> but i dont think this type of cookie dough has eggs in it, and even if it did, its not that common to get sick from raw eggs. its kinda like sushi,,,theres a real danger, but its not that common to get sick from it
2008-04-13 21:06 < Leslie_S> people drink raw eggs, which is disgusting, but ....
2008-04-13 21:07 < Messedrocker> the real danger is from the egg shells
2008-04-13 21:07 < Leslie_S> Messedrocker egg shells in cookie batter?
2008-04-13 21:07 < Leslie_S> :o
2008-04-13 21:07 < Messedrocker> that'd be a real shame
2008-04-13 21:12 < Alptraum> I think unless you're immune compromised, or very young or very old eating raw eggs or sushi is not a significant health risk
2008-04-13 21:14 < Mask> Alptraum, it kinda depends on shelftime, temp and what not, as well as contat with the shell for eggs
2008-04-13 21:15 < Alptraum> well I wasn't suggesting eating the shells
2008-04-13 21:15 < Mask> but there no question theres some risk if its been sitting out for more then a few minutes at temp
2008-04-13 21:15 < Alptraum> yeah that's obvious
2008-04-13 21:15 < Alptraum> I wasn't suggesting eating ones that were lying around
2008-04-13 21:15 < Mask> Alptraum, salmonella is not IN eggs, its onn the shell, if the insides touch the outside of the shell, theres a chance itll pick it up
2008-04-13 21:16 < Alptraum> I was not aware of that
2008-04-13 21:16 < Messedrocker> and there's a good chance at least some will touch the shell
2008-04-13 21:16 < Mask> i had to take an eight hour class for my serv-safe certification :)
2008-04-13 21:17 < Messedrocker> only 8 hours?
2008-04-13 21:17 < Messedrocker> or was it a single class session? D:
2008-04-13 21:17 < Mask> single class
2008-04-13 21:17 < MECU> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Tamaro
2008-04-13 21:17 < Messedrocker> D:
2008-04-13 21:17 < Mask> 8 hours, plus an hour test
2008-04-13 21:17 < Mask> but im good for restaurant management through 2011
2008-04-13 21:24 < Mask> hey, raise your hand if you are currently in the san francisco bay area
2008-04-13 21:29 < The359> this is the internet, we don't have hands
2008-04-13 21:29 < The359> or bodies
2008-04-13 21:30 < Fou-Lu> HAHA CLEVER
2008-04-13 21:33 < Lucifer_Cat> thanks Enterprise_Cat
2008-04-13 21:33 < Enterprise_Cat> Lucifer_Cat: What?

2008-04-13 21:34 < Enterprise_Cat> oh
2008-04-13 21:38 < RandIter> q: how do i nominate an image for deletion because the uploader put a PD-selfmade license tag which is not really a valid license?
2008-04-13 21:39 < JohnReaves> RandIter:What makes it invalid?
2008-04-13 21:40 < RandIter> there is no PD-selfmade license template as i understand
2008-04-13 21:41 < RandIter> the correct option is PD-self
2008-04-13 21:41 < RandIter> but that's not what the uploader chose
2008-04-13 21:41 < JohnReaves> What's the image?
2008-04-13 21:42 < RandIter> Image:Foam Alcohol Rub.jpg
2008-04-13 21:43 < RandIter> it doesn't look like a photograph that one can take anyway.
2008-04-13 21:43 < RandIter> looks like a professional marketing image
2008-04-13 21:43 < JohnReaves> deleted
2008-04-13 21:43 < RandIter> thank you!
2008-04-13 21:44 < JohnReaves> no problem

2008-04-13 22:09 < Lucifer_Cat> anyone?
2008-04-13 22:10 < quanticle> I'm still here.
2008-04-13 22:14 < koavf> I have a question about categorization policy...
2008-04-13 22:14 < koavf> Is it the case that every page in every namespace should be in a category (other than the root category itself)?
2008-04-13 22:14 < koavf> E.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AAshley_Y%2FUserbox%2FBelieves_in_Allah&diff=205451523&oldid=205450771

2008-04-13 22:15 < Enterprise_Cat> koavf: yes
2008-04-13 22:16 < gwern> koavf: basically. if there is no sensible category, put them in the uncategorized category....
2008-04-13 22:20 * denelson83 is listening to "Oh Be Joyful" by Matthew Good (CFCP-FM 98.9 - Stereo)
2008-04-13 22:20 < koavf> That's what I thought.
2008-04-13 22:20 < koavf> Does anyone have a citation for that?
2008-04-13 22:20 < koavf> I checked WP:CATEGORIES and the categories FAQ, but I couldn't find it.
2008-04-13 22:20 < koavf> So, you are saying that I am right to add {{uncategorized}} as far as you're aware?
2008-04-13 22:22 * denelson83 is listening to "Stop and Stare" by OneRepublic (CKLR-FM 97.3 - Stereo)

2008-04-13 22:25 < denelson83> koavf: Oops
2008-04-13 22:25 < koavf> Ugh. I am completely ignorant of IRC.
2008-04-13 22:25 < denelson83> Use /msg
2008-04-13 22:25 < quanticle> denelson83: Heh. Sounds like a fine idea.
2008-04-13 22:25 < koavf> How are you messaging me in particular?
2008-04-13 22:25 < koavf> Thanks.
2008-04-13 22:26 < denelson83> koavf: We're talking to you in public
2008-04-13 22:26 < koavf> Right.
2008-04-13 22:26 < koavf> Which is fine, I don't need it to be private.
2008-04-13 22:26 < koavf> I just wanted to get the attention of the users who responded to me earlier.
2008-04-13 22:26 < denelson83> heh
2008-04-13 22:26 < koavf> I have no idea if they are still paying attention.

2008-04-13 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> i was
2008-04-13 22:30 < Pilotguy> same for you denelson83
2008-04-13 22:30 < Lycurgus> anyone with knowledge about linguistics would be shocked at the apparent ignorance expressed implicitly by the article implying the language family in question dated from the 8-12th century CE.
2008-04-13 22:30 < koavf> Good, good. I know there are plenty of IRC tricks, too "Like, hey type X!" and it gets you booted.
2008-04-13 22:30 < MZMcBride> TheLetterE: ???
2008-04-13 22:30 < MZMcBride> :P
2008-04-13 22:30 < koavf> I would never know.
2008-04-13 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> would "fuck you :P " have been better?
2008-04-13 22:30 < quanticle> Lycurgus: Which language family?
2008-04-13 22:30 < Krimpet> please don't type those three characters again, either -_-
2008-04-13 22:30 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Perhaps.
2008-04-13 22:30 < Lycurgus> Indo-Aryan.
2008-04-13 22:30 < denelson83> Lucifer_Cat: Yes.
2008-04-13 22:31 < TheLetterE> MZMcBride: sorry, buffer was flowing when i tried to nick-click someone

2008-04-13 22:31 < denelson83> Uh oh... Buffer overflow? Not good
2008-04-13 22:31 < Lycurgus> which dates from Vedic times, universally assigned to the 2nd millenium BCE.
2008-04-13 22:31 < MZMcBride> Krimpet: Hm?
2008-04-13 22:31 < quanticle> Lycurgus: 8-12th CE, or 8-12th BCE?
2008-04-13 22:32 < Lycurgus> [[Charyapada]] says CE.
2008-04-13 22:32 < denelson83> quanticle: He said CE
2008-04-13 22:32 < Krimpet> MZMcBride: I meant exclamation point, followed by "o," followed by "p." :)
2008-04-13 22:32 < denelson83> Lycurgus: ;)
2008-04-13 22:32 < MZMcBride> :)
2008-04-13 22:32 < quanticle> denelson83: Well that's obviously wrong then.
2008-04-13 22:32 < Lycurgus> of cours it is.
2008-04-13 22:32 * MZMcBride goes back to lazin'.
2008-04-13 22:32 < Lycurgus> it would be even if it was BCE.
2008-04-13 22:32 < denelson83> Krimpet: You can just say "the op summon trigger"

2008-04-13 22:35 < snowolf> it was intentional

2008-04-13 22:44 < MZMcBride> Huh?
2008-04-13 22:45 < denelson83> He's 70
2008-04-13 22:45 < MZMcBride> "He" doesn't exist.
2008-04-13 22:45 < denelson83> That was supposed to be funny, MZM
2008-04-13 22:45 < MZMcBride> Oh.
2008-04-13 22:45 < denelson83> Hmmm... If you ROT13 MZM, you get ZMZ
2008-04-13 22:45 < MZMcBride> >_>
2008-04-13 22:46 < denelson83> And >_> can be a substitution cipher for MZM
2008-04-13 22:46 < Lucifer_Cat> anyone up for pulpfiction?

2008-04-13 22:48 < Lucifer_Cat> lol
2008-04-13 22:48 < Lucifer_Cat> invoking ops the way you did
2008-04-13 22:48 < denelson83> So that's annoying, eh?
2008-04-13 22:48 < denelson83> Fair enough
2008-04-13 22:48 < denelson83> That'll be the last time
2008-04-13 22:49 < Lucifer_Cat> lol well, its just undue attention
2008-04-13 22:49 < denelson83> /¯\_/¯°^_^°¯\_/¯\
2008-04-13 22:49 < Lucifer_Cat> you can annoy as much as you want without getting me kicked
2008-04-13 22:50 < denelson83> I doubt you would have gotten kicked for one f-bomb
2008-04-13 22:50 < Lucifer_Cat> you never know
2008-04-13 22:50 < denelson83> Heck, I know a video that has 26 effs per minute
2008-04-13 22:50 < Lucifer_Cat> lol
2008-04-13 22:50 * MZMcBride stares.
2008-04-13 22:51 < Lucifer_Cat> we do drop the f bomb a lot here... but usually does not lead to someone invoking the ops
2008-04-13 22:51 * JohnReaves notes that you may say "fuck"
2008-04-13 22:51 < Lucifer_Cat> fcuk
2008-04-13 22:51 < toresbe> oh God almighty. "The F bomb"?!
2008-04-13 22:52 < toresbe> Are you 12 years old or something?
2008-04-13 22:52 < denelson83> XD
2008-04-13 22:52 < snowolf> toresbe: ...
2008-04-13 22:52 < Lucifer_Cat> toresbe: well he invoked ops for a friendly 'fuck you' what do you think
2008-04-13 22:52 < toresbe> that's possibly the dumbest euphemism I've heard in my life
2008-04-13 22:52 < denelson83> Because I didn't know it was friendly
2008-04-13 22:52 < denelson83> because it initially had no emoticon
2008-04-13 22:52 * snowolf shuts the pair up

2008-04-13 22:52 < toresbe> it's actually infinitely more offensive than the *word* "fuck"
2008-04-13 22:53 < Lucifer_Cat> that one was cuz you beat me to it again
2008-04-13 22:53 * Krimpet rides the f-bomb down to the ground hooting and hollering Dr. Strangelove-style
2008-04-13 22:53 < toresbe> haha
2008-04-13 22:53 < toresbe> "the f-bomb". Oh, for fuck's sake.
2008-04-13 22:53 < Werdna> oh, for the f-bomb's sake.
2008-04-13 22:53 < denelson83> hehehe
2008-04-13 22:54 < Lucifer_Cat> "Krimpet rides the f-bomb " heh. i read just that much and i had the Dr Strangelove image
2008-04-13 22:54 < toresbe> me too :)
2008-04-13 22:54 < denelson83> Somebody set us up the bomb
2008-04-13 22:54 < Lucifer_Cat> make your fucking time
2008-04-13 22:54 < toresbe> The thing that gets me about Dr. Strangelove is when Peter Sellers picks the radio out of the mainframe printer
2008-04-13 22:54 < Lucifer_Cat> lol yeah
2008-04-13 22:54 < toresbe> now, that printer - incidentally, an IBM 1403 - is the noisiest thing in the world
2008-04-13 22:55 < denelson83> There is actually no film called Dr. Strangelove
2008-04-13 22:55 < toresbe> it's noisy enough to make it difficult to hold a conversation when the big, iron, padded lid is on
2008-04-13 22:55 < Lucifer_Cat> denelson83: stop splitting fucking hairs
2008-04-13 22:55 < toresbe> but when it is up, it's like being at a rock concert
2008-04-13 22:55 < denelson83> It's called "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"
2008-04-13 22:55 < toresbe> it truly is terrible
2008-04-13 22:55 < Krimpet> ...

2008-04-13 23:19 < SonicAD> hi, I just noticed a talk page that I accidentally didn't move along with an article (at least, I don't think I did) get deleted. Could someone recover and merge it?
2008-04-13 23:19 < SonicAD> [[Talk:Crown Royal Presents The Jim Stewart 400]]
2008-04-13 23:19 < denelson83> will do
2008-04-13 23:19 < quanticle> nokmar wins
2008-04-13 23:19 < denelson83> merge to where?
2008-04-13 23:19 < SonicAD> [[Talk:Crown Royal Presents The Dan Lowry 400]]
2008-04-13 23:20 < SonicAD> if there's anything even there that needs to be merged
2008-04-13 23:20 < SonicAD> but I can't check
2008-04-13 23:20 < SonicAD> so thanks :)
2008-04-13 23:21 < SonicAD> hmm, it looks like I did move it right
2008-04-13 23:21 < denelson83> There doesn't seem to be anything to merge
2008-04-13 23:21 < denelson83> It was just a redirect
2008-04-13 23:21 < SonicAD> but it should stay as a redirect
2008-04-13 23:21 < denelson83> done
2008-04-13 23:21 < bumm13> hiya denelson83
2008-04-13 23:21 * The359 stabs the NASCAR people
2008-04-13 23:21 < SonicAD> thanks
2008-04-13 23:21 < denelson83> yo, bumm
2008-04-13 23:22 < The359> stupid race names that change from year to year
2008-04-13 23:22 < SonicAD> oh, it's far worse than this one
2008-04-13 23:22 < denelson83> Gee, next they'll claim a trademark on "sprint cars"
2008-04-13 23:22 < The359> I know
2008-04-13 23:22 < SonicAD> think of how many different Kmart 400s there've been!
2008-04-13 23:22 < denelson83> give 'em the red flag
2008-04-13 23:22 < The359> They're Stock Cars, denelson83
2008-04-13 23:23 < SonicAD> actually, bad example
2008-04-13 23:23 < The359> "Sprint Cup" is the championship
2008-04-13 23:23 < SonicAD> but there's others
2008-04-13 23:23 < The359> Batman Begins 400
2008-04-13 23:23 < denelson83> "car" can be short for "stock car", though
2008-04-13 23:23 < denelson83> ugh
2008-04-13 23:23 < The359> but that doesn't matter for a trademark, denelson83
2008-04-13 23:24 < SonicAD> well, last year's Kansas race was the LifeLock 400
2008-04-13 23:24 < The359> they wont trademark Sprint Car
2008-04-13 23:24 < SonicAD> later this year at Michigan is the LifeLock 400
2008-04-13 23:24 < The359> because the name could just as easily change in 2 years
2008-04-13 23:24 < SonicAD> later this year at Chicagoland is the LifeLock.com 400
2008-04-13 23:24 < denelson83> How about call it the "fuck 'em all 400"
2008-04-13 23:24 * The359 prefers the simple use of "Grand Prix of XXXXXX"
2008-04-13 23:24 < The359> even if they add sponsors
2008-04-13 23:24 < The359> there's still a common name to fall back on
2008-04-13 23:25 < denelson83> but Formula 1 holds the "Grand Prix" trademark
2008-04-13 23:25 < The359> no, they don't
2008-04-13 23:25 < SonicAD> yeah, there's plenty of IndyCar races that use Grand Prix
2008-04-13 23:25 < SonicAD> as did CART use it
2008-04-13 23:25 < The359> Champ Car, IndyCar, American Le Mans Series, all have races titled Grand Prix
2008-04-13 23:25 < The359> Grand Prix of St. Petersburg was just last weekend
2008-04-13 23:25 < SonicAD> like the Long Beach Grand Prix this coming weekend
2008-04-13 23:26 < The359> Grand Prix is also used in other sports
2008-04-13 23:26 < bumm13> now known as the Champ Car Series :-)
2008-04-13 23:26 < The359> MotoGP is also short for Motorcycle Grand Prix
2008-04-13 23:26 < denelson83> ChampCar merged with IndyCar
2008-04-13 23:26 < SonicAD> Champ Car is dead
2008-04-13 23:26 < SonicAD> long live IndyCar
2008-04-13 23:26 < The359> Snooker uses Grand Prix
2008-04-13 23:26 < The359> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Prix
2008-04-13 23:27 < bumm13> IndyCar = old IRL split-off?
2008-04-13 23:27 < The359> IndyCar is just a brand name
2008-04-13 23:27 < SonicAD> IndyCar is IRL
2008-04-13 23:27 < denelson83> More like "Grand Pricks"
2008-04-13 23:27 < bumm13> right
2008-04-13 23:27 < bumm13> denelson83: potty mouth :P
2008-04-13 23:27 < SonicAD> but there was an agreement between CART and the IRL to not use the IndyCar name for a period of time
2008-04-13 23:27 < denelson83> XD
2008-04-13 23:27 < The359> The Indy Racing League won the right to the IndyCar name in the United States
2008-04-13 23:27 < bumm13> SonicAD: such confusion
2008-04-13 23:27 < SonicAD> I think until 2003
2008-04-13 23:27 < The359> But Champ Car retained the rights to the IndyCar name in Canada
2008-04-13 23:27 < SonicAD> when the IRL could start using it
2008-04-13 23:27 < SonicAD> not quite
2008-04-13 23:27 < denelson83> I call it septic mouth
2008-04-13 23:28 < SonicAD> it's just that it was only trademarked in the US
2008-04-13 23:28 < The359> IRL doesn't race in Canada
2008-04-13 23:28 < The359> so they had no way to right it
2008-04-13 23:28 < SonicAD> exactly
2008-04-13 23:28 < The359> Anyway, the premiere IRL series became the "IndyCar Series"
2008-04-13 23:29 < The359> their other series is the Firestone Indy Lights Series
2008-04-13 23:29 < SonicAD> and now the confusion can finally end and Indycar racing can finally become popular again
2008-04-13 23:29 < SonicAD> well, at least after the mess next weekend
2008-04-13 23:30 < denelson83> black flag!
2008-04-13 23:30 < Lucifer_Cat> african american flag!
2008-04-13 23:31 < SonicAD> actually, I forgot, the official name of IndyCar now is "IndyCar Series in DirecTV HD"
2008-04-13 23:31 < The359> yes
2008-04-13 23:31 < denelson83> brandoids!
2008-04-13 23:31 < SonicAD> still better than the changing NASCAR race names though...
2008-04-13 23:31 < The359> They just add a sponsor name to the race title
2008-04-13 23:31 < The359> Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg
2008-04-13 23:31 < The359> Acura Sports Car Challenge of St. Petersburg
2008-04-13 23:32 < SonicAD> nah, the race names can still be messy, if they get to changing
2008-04-13 23:32 < The359> but they don't
2008-04-13 23:32 < SonicAD> not so much for the street courses
2008-04-13 23:33 < SonicAD> but you still have names like the Honda 200
2008-04-13 23:33 < denelson83> How about restricting race names to two words?
2008-04-13 23:33 < denelson83> where a number is considered one word
2008-04-13 23:34 < SonicAD> I remember a horrendous Busch Series race name from a few years ago
2008-04-13 23:34 < SonicAD> let me find it...
2008-04-13 23:34 < denelson83> The "I am a horny bastard 500"?
2008-04-13 23:36 < SonicAD> found it
2008-04-13 23:36 < SonicAD> ITT Industries, Systems Division and Goulds Pumps Salute to the Troops 250 presented by Dodge
2008-04-13 23:36 < gwern> 'It was a deliberate taboo-breaking thing for him. He ate pork because he wanted to be seen as English, not because he wanted to eat it. I resented it when people served it to him specially. He never talked about it, except once, when he said how he wished that people would read the rest of the things Jews aren't supposed to eat and take to serving us buttered lobsters or shrimp on toast.'

2008-04-14 00:11 < Leslie_S> yes, the ones between the pectoral fins and the dorsal fins.
2008-04-14 00:11 < Leslie_S> by the anus

2008-04-14 00:24 < FastLizard4|away> Da_ViRuS: Why was I pinged?
2008-04-14 00:25 < SonicAD> hmm, it's messier than I thought
2008-04-14 00:25 < SonicAD> looks like someone set up a bot to delete tens of thousands of talk page redirects

2008-04-14 00:52 < gwern> 'Going to court is an option if a university finds it can no longer comply with the terms of a gift. The Virginia Tech Foundation took this step when it could not grant a scholarship for students from Warwick County, because the county no longer existed.' <-- nice
2008-04-14 00:52 < Mask> how long ago did einstein die? i know it wasnt that long ago, there are color pictures of him, so it was after the 20's

2008-04-14 00:52 < gwern> Mask: wasn't it like the 60s?
2008-04-14 00:53 < gwern> I mean, geez, in the 20s he would've been in his 30s or so
2008-04-14 00:53 < gwern> 'Take the $1,000 bequest to Dartmouth in 1945, from a soldier who had died in Burma, which his parents suggested be used to keep the Dartmouth president’s fireplace stocked with wood. The president still has a fireplace, but it no longer burns wood; the money is used for general expenses in the office.'

2008-04-14 02:14 < Mask> hmm... what to do about copyvio text
2008-04-14 02:15 < bumm13> purge it from the article's history
2008-04-14 02:15 < Mask> bumm13, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#X_for_Dummies_fork the sections of the article discussed that are copyvios are M-theory and What does M stand for
2008-04-14 02:15 < denelson83> hehehehe
2008-04-14 02:15 < Mask> also, i have no buttons, cant purge
2008-04-14 02:16 < Rinn> Morning?
2008-04-14 02:16 < Rinn> Maritime?
2008-04-14 02:16 < Mark_Ryan> Mask, you need to remove all copyvio'd text from the article, either manually or by reverting to a non-contaminated version from beforehand
2008-04-14 02:16 < denelson83> what the what the what the
2008-04-14 02:16 < Rinn> Why are we repeating ourselves?
2008-04-14 02:16 < Rinn> Why are we repeating ourselves?
2008-04-14 02:16 < denelson83> [23:07:32] * ChanServ sets mode: -ooo dircbot dircbot dircbot
2008-04-14 02:17 < Mask> Mark_Ryan, theres a lot of text thats derived from the copyvio, i dont want to sort through it, best left to an admin
2008-04-14 02:18 < Rinn> Best to leave work you don't want to do to someone who has to do it, I agree.
2008-04-14 02:18 < Lubaf> [[Wikipedia:Please eat this policy page]]: I see a great need.
2008-04-14 02:18 < Mark_Ryan> Mask, so find out which specific revision introduced the copyvio, and revert to before that
2008-04-14 02:18 < Lubaf> Or should that be [[Wikipedia:Steal this essay]]?
2008-04-14 02:18 < Lubaf> Nah.
2008-04-14 02:18 < Mask> Rinn, im a copyright/free as in freedom nazi, this will cause much trolling, but the hell, ill go for it
2008-04-14 02:20 < bumm13> doesn't having the offending text in history revisions still violate the GFDL?
2008-04-14 02:22 < Mask> bumm13, you are right
2008-04-14 02:22 < Mask> and i found the offending edit
2008-04-14 02:22 < Mask> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Introduction_to_M-theory&diff=2467832&oldid=2467817
2008-04-14 02:22 < Mask> it was made in 2004
2008-04-14 02:22 * bumm13 has made some laborious history purges of offending text
2008-04-14 02:22 < Mask> and there are roughly 30 edits before it, most in 200
2008-04-14 02:22 < bumm13> arg
2008-04-14 02:23 < Mask> 2001*
2008-04-14 02:23 < Mask> so this will hurt
2008-04-14 02:23 < bumm13> it can result in articles having to basically be rewritten from scratch
2008-04-14 02:25 < Mark_Ryan> what's it a copyvio of?
2008-04-14 02:25 < Mask> as it seems will happen here, the article was tiny before this
2008-04-14 02:25 < Mark_Ryan> sometimes you can persuade the owner of copyyright that's been violated to license it under gfdl
2008-04-14 02:25 < Mask> and all text after is a derivitive of a copyrighted work
2008-04-14 02:25 < Mask> Mark_Ryan, it was a best selling book
2008-04-14 02:25 < Mask> [[The Turn of the Century]]
2008-04-14 02:26 < Mask> a look back at the twentieth century and our achievements
2008-04-14 02:26 < Mark_Ryan> oh, bugger
2008-04-14 02:26 < Mask> doubt its going gfdl
2008-04-14 02:26 < Mark_Ryan> give me the article and i'll delete the offending revisions
2008-04-14 02:26 < Mark_Ryan> actually, no
2008-04-14 02:26 < Mark_Ryan> don't.
2008-04-14 02:27 < Mask> lawl

2008-04-14 02:27 < Mark_Ryan> this is IRC. we don't do things as a result of IRC discussions.
2008-04-14 02:27 < Mask> its all on wiki
2008-04-14 02:27 < Mask> read the link
2008-04-14 02:28 * kmccoy attacks Mark_Ryan as a result of IRC discussion.
2008-04-14 02:30 < Mark_Ryan> Mask, yeah nah, it's probably best if i leave it for someone to do on-wiki
2008-04-14 02:30 < Werdna> Mark_Ryan: I think if you ignore it for a while, you can wait until rev_deleted is enabled on enwiki :)
2008-04-14 02:30 * bumm13 brushes his teeth
2008-04-14 02:30 < bumm13> hiya Werdna
2008-04-14 02:31 * Krimpet must now refrain from brushing hers, as it would be a result of IRC discussion :o
2008-04-14 02:31 < Werdna> silly Krimpet
2008-04-14 02:31 < Mask> the copyvio was found on wiki, brough to light on wiki, the revision introducing it is shown on wiki, and a link to book excerpts showing the copyvio is given on wiki, the whole thing was done on ani, i only brought it up here to find someone to look on wiki, see im not spouting off, and zap a copyvio
2008-04-14 02:31 * Werdna krimps Krimpet
