2008-05-13 22:29 < Ceiling_Cat> he's getting his master's either in the summer or fall
2008-05-13 22:29 < Lucifer_Cat> and are you going to do some wikiart on the cap?
2008-05-13 22:29 < Ceiling_Cat> so at least it'll save him some money
2008-05-13 22:30 < Ceiling_Cat> Lucifer_Cat - oh god, only white trash decorate their cap
2008-05-13 22:30 < DrSkullthumper> There's a lot of cats in here
2008-05-13 22:30 < DrSkullthumper> Is there a story behind that?
2008-05-13 22:30 < Ceiling_Cat> DrSkullthumper - you should see #wikipedia-cats
2008-05-13 22:30 < Messedrocker> Lucifer_Cat = Working_Cat

2008-05-13 22:30 < Messedrocker> DrSkullthumper, it all started with Ceiling_Cat
2008-05-13 22:30 * Ceiling_Cat nods
2008-05-13 22:30 < DrSkullthumper> Ceiling_Cat: OH LOL
2008-05-13 22:30 < Ceiling_Cat> it's true
2008-05-13 22:30 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: what makes you think so?
2008-05-13 22:30 < DrSkullthumper> Way to trick me.
2008-05-13 22:30 < Messedrocker> * [Lucifer_Cat] (n=chatzill@unaffiliated/workingcat/x-518352): Lucifer_Cat << that
2008-05-13 22:31 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: then why do you need to ask?
2008-05-13 22:31 < Lucifer_Cat> also, everyone knows that.
2008-05-13 22:31 < Ceiling_Cat> DrSkullthumper - we have a rule, you must be this feline to chat in the channel: <------- =^o.o^= ------->
2008-05-13 22:31 * Messedrocker pats Ceiling_Cat on the head

2008-05-13 22:32 < Lucifer_Cat> Ceiling_Cat: also, one gal at my college had BEEEYOOOOOTIFUL Clemson logo made out of diamond shaped colored glass pieces on her cap. she was white - hot - very hot - but not trash.
2008-05-13 22:32 < lolcat> Ceiling_Cat: There is no #wikipedia-cats
2008-05-13 22:32 < Ceiling_Cat> oh sorry
2008-05-13 22:32 < Ceiling_Cat> #wikimedia-cats
2008-05-13 22:33 < Lucifer_Cat> Ceiling_Cat: is your gown furry?
2008-05-13 22:33 < Ceiling_Cat> velvet
2008-05-13 22:33 < Ceiling_Cat> (or, the hood is, at any rate)
2008-05-13 22:34 < Lucifer_Cat> no... the gown. is it furry?
2008-05-13 22:34 < Ceiling_Cat> Sorry, it is not
2008-05-13 22:34 < Lucifer_Cat> heh heh heh
2008-05-13 22:35 < Lucifer_Cat> so now i can hold up a poster at your ceremony
2008-05-13 22:35 < Lucifer_Cat> "/me shaved Ceiling_Cat"
2008-05-13 22:35 < Ceiling_Cat> at my last graduation, Joe Biden was the speaker
2008-05-13 22:35 < Ceiling_Cat> he made some anti-war statements (this was back in 2004 when the war wasn't a disaster) and got boed
2008-05-13 22:36 < Ceiling_Cat> booed* (sp?)
2008-05-13 22:36 < Vorschlagsnoten> I believe so
2008-05-13 22:37 < Ceiling_Cat> brb
2008-05-13 22:37 < Ceiling_Cat> brownies
2008-05-13 22:37 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: The funny thing is that, I and a lot my friends saw that the war was becoming disastrous as early as 2004... when Bush made his 'mission accomplished' and 'bring 'em on' speeches.
2008-05-13 22:37 < Lucifer_Cat> heh
2008-05-13 22:38 < Messedrocker> quanticle, mission accomplished was 2003
2008-05-13 22:38 < Golbez> omg dblock
2008-05-13 22:38 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Really? Oh. So the war was turning sour ever earlier than 2004 then.
2008-05-13 22:39 < Golbez> yeah, Mission Accomplished was somewhere like a month after we invaded.
2008-05-13 22:39 < quanticle> Messedrocker: I know the Mission Accomplished speech was the turning point at which the insurgency started to get serious.
2008-05-13 22:39 < Messedrocker> quanticle, I've been calling the war a disgrace since either late 2003 or early 2004
2008-05-13 22:39 < quanticle> I is sirius Iraq. This is sirius insurgency.
2008-05-13 22:39 < dunstvangeet> So, how's the updating of the Congressional pages, going?
2008-05-13 22:39 < Monobi> I've been calling Wikipedia as disgrace since late 2004 or 2005
2008-05-13 22:39 < TylerPuetz> :D
2008-05-13 22:39 < Golbez> pff and THEN it fixes
2008-05-13 22:40 < TylerPuetz> omg db lock ;D

2008-05-13 22:40 < Ceiling_Cat> brownie baking -- mission accomplished
2008-05-13 22:40 * Lucifer_Cat sends Ceiling_Cat back
2008-05-13 22:40 < Vorschlagsnoten> Golbez: it's usually temporary. you can see lags here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=dbrepllag&sishowalldb
2008-05-13 22:40 < Vorschlagsnoten> some are worse than others
2008-05-13 22:40 * Ceiling_Cat can haz delicious brownies
2008-05-13 22:40 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Special brownies?
2008-05-13 22:40 < Golbez> Vorschlagsnoten- I know, but this seemed longer than par
2008-05-13 22:40 < Ceiling_Cat> quanticle - special only in the fact that they are delicious
2008-05-13 22:41 < Monobi> Vorschlagsnoten, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=dbrepllag&sishowalldb&format=xml
2008-05-13 22:41 < Vorschlagsnoten> Golbez: in terms of db locks, or lag displayed on whitelist?
2008-05-13 22:41 < Ceiling_Cat> ever since I started bringing them to work to give out to my co-workers, I've become very popular :)
2008-05-13 22:41 < Vorschlagsnoten> Vorschlagsnoten: that's all on one line, not terrible human-readable
2008-05-13 22:41 < Golbez> Vorschlagsnoten- in terms of db locks

2008-05-13 22:41 < dunstvangeet> Anybody wanna update Mississippi's 1st Congressional District? It's now Democratic...
2008-05-13 22:41 * Ceiling_Cat nom noms Golbez
2008-05-13 22:42 * Lucifer_Cat nom nom nominates Obama
2008-05-13 22:42 < Golbez> dunstvangeet- oy
2008-05-13 22:42 < Lucifer_Cat> and to think i tried to tab complete nominates and obama
2008-05-13 22:42 < Golbez> MS 1? hm let's see
2008-05-13 22:43 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: One of my persistent fantasies is to try to make a perl plugin for irssi that tab completes English words.
2008-05-13 22:43 < Vorschlagsnoten> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi%27s_1st_congressional_district
2008-05-13 22:43 < Vorschlagsnoten> it's already updated
2008-05-13 22:43 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: wet dreams heh
2008-05-13 22:44 < Golbez> and i just updated [[United States congressional delegations from Mississippi]]
2008-05-13 22:45 < Messedrocker> don't cry, Golbez, Childers is a Republican in a Democratic shell
2008-05-13 22:45 < gwern> quanticle: it'd be useless
2008-05-13 22:45 < gwern> there are too many english words
2008-05-13 22:45 < gwern> the mental overhead of deciding whether to complete or not would be just too great, and overwhelm the microscopic gains
2008-05-13 22:45 * gwern knows this from personal experience with various completion packages for emacs. completion is only good when there's a restricted vocab you're likely to use, or there's some other way to get good predictions about words
2008-05-13 22:45 < Vorschlagsnoten> praise be to Golbez
2008-05-13 22:45 < dunstvangeet> Just updated the 110th congress page for member delegations. May have to change the date, though.
2008-05-13 22:46 < gwern> allahu golbez
2008-05-13 22:46 < Golbez> Messedrocker- eh, I don't care.
2008-05-13 22:46 < Messedrocker> gwern: "god is golbez" ?
2008-05-13 22:46 < Golbez> gwern- alaykum salaam
2008-05-13 22:47 < quanticle> gwern: I know that. I've seen the effect with OpenOffice. OO has a setting where it tries to autocomplete for you depending on which words you'd used before in the file, and its useless.
2008-05-13 22:47 < Messedrocker> not OO
2008-05-13 22:47 < Messedrocker> it's OOo
2008-05-13 22:47 < quanticle> O_Oo
2008-05-13 22:48 < Messedrocker> OpenOffice.org
2008-05-13 22:48 < quanticle> I know.
2008-05-13 22:48 < quanticle> I was making an emoticon pun.
2008-05-13 22:48 < Messedrocker> IMO that's just stupid
2008-05-13 22:48 < quanticle> Messedrocker: The fact that they have the .org as part of the official name?
2008-05-13 22:48 < Messedrocker> yes
2008-05-13 22:48 < quanticle> I think its stupid too.
2008-05-13 22:49 < gwern> quanticle: well, that actually can be good if you're writing long essays and such, but you need a good prediction algorithm, a fast implementation, and an easy interface. none of which I'd credit OO with having based on prior experience
2008-05-13 22:49 < gwern> pabbrev in emacs is such a style of completion; it worked well for me before it bitrotted
2008-05-13 22:50 < quanticle> gwern: Heh. OpenOffice.org's autocomplete is fairly good, but it wasn't perfect, which, to be honest, meant that it wasn't good enough.
2008-05-13 22:50 < jebba> my IP has been blocked as an open proxy, but I can't find when/where it was added. It was added by user Dmcdevit, it has one vandal edit from June 2007, but that's it. I don't know why it was added. The IP is 216.17.145.62. Anyone?
2008-05-13 22:51 < Monobi> jebba, go elsewhere, no one will unblock you, sadly
2008-05-13 22:51 < Vorschlagsnoten> jebba: open proxies are blocked a matter of course, to prevent abuse
2008-05-13 22:52 < Vorschlagsnoten> is it possible for you to access Wikipedia without using a proxy?
2008-05-13 22:52 < quanticle> jebba: You could just make an account.
2008-05-13 22:52 < jebba> Monobi, i'm not asking to be unblocked here. I'm asking how to find where it is actually listed, when it was added, and why (well, he thinks it's an open proxy, but it's not)
2008-05-13 22:52 < Ceiling_Cat> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/13/AR2008051302783.html?hpid=moreheadlines
2008-05-13 22:52 < jebba> quanticle, I am logged in, too (as user jebba)
2008-05-13 22:52 < quanticle> Oh. Ok.
2008-05-13 22:53 < Monobi> well, someone does need to fix dmc's horrid block. We don't indefinitely block IPs...
2008-05-13 22:53 < jebba> Vorschlagsnoten, it isn't an open proxy.
2008-05-13 22:53 < quanticle> Hmmm. I don't know. You could put up an unblock request on the IPs user page.
2008-05-13 22:53 < Vorschlagsnoten> jebba: oh, okay. For some odd reason Dmcdevit autoblocked it indefinitely.
2008-05-13 22:53 < Vorschlagsnoten> way back in June 2007
2008-05-13 22:53 < quanticle> Yeah. We shouldn't indef. block IPs.
2008-05-13 22:53 < jebba> Vorschlagsnoten, where are you reading that?
2008-05-13 22:54 < Vorschlagsnoten> he should know that proxies don't stay as such forever... normally they're blocked for 6 months
2008-05-13 22:54 < Vorschlagsnoten> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:216.17.145.62
2008-05-13 22:54 < Monobi> quanticle, {{sofixit}}
2008-05-13 22:54 < dunstvangeet> Is May 19th when he'll be sworn in?
2008-05-13 22:55 < quanticle> Monobi: I don't have admin access. If I could, I would.
2008-05-13 22:55 < Monobi> Oh
2008-05-13 22:55 < Monobi> I thought you were an admin
2008-05-13 22:55 < Vorschlagsnoten> jebba: try leaving an {{unblock|1=msg}} on the IP's talk page, with msg replaced with the reason.
2008-05-13 22:55 < Monobi> !admin fix block of [[User:216.17.145.62]]
2008-05-13 22:55 < jebba> Vorschlagsnoten, thx :)
2008-05-13 22:55 < Vorschlagsnoten> quanticle: have you checked if it's an open proxy?
2008-05-13 22:55 < jebba> i believe that the IP at that time (but not for a long time since) was a tor exit node.
2008-05-13 22:56 < dunstvangeet> Is may 19, when Childers will be sworn in?
2008-05-13 22:56 < Monobi> It's no longer tor
2008-05-13 22:56 < jebba> but its strange it would block me editing while logged in too
2008-05-13 22:56 < Monobi> Nah
2008-05-13 22:56 < Monobi> He didn't just block anon editing
2008-05-13 22:56 < quanticle> Vorschlagsnoten: Does it matter? We shouldn't be indefinitely blocking IP addresses, since, with so many IP addresses being assigned dynamically, its a fair proposition that the IP will be going to another person soon enough.
2008-05-13 22:57 < Vorschlagsnoten> quanticle: yeah, that's why the normal block period is 6 months
2008-05-13 22:57 < quanticle> jebba: Have you checked your userpage to see if [[User:Jebba]] is blocked as well?
2008-05-13 22:57 < Lucifer_Cat> ur welcome'
2008-05-13 22:58 * quanticle wondered who thanked Lucifer_Cat
2008-05-13 22:58 < Vorschlagsnoten> quanticle: and considerably less for Tor nodes - half-life is 12 hours. iirc

2008-05-13 22:58 < Lucifer_Cat> the oppressed people of the world
2008-05-13 22:58 < Lucifer_Cat> the broken hearted lovers

2008-05-13 22:59 < Mike_H> the best season finale in years
2008-05-13 23:00 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Wait, doesn't selling your soul to Lucifer (or his cat for that matter) mean you're more oppressed in the long run, not less.
2008-05-13 23:00 < quanticle> ?
2008-05-13 23:00 < Lucifer_Cat> >_<
2008-05-13 23:01 * Lucifer_Cat is NOT LUCIFER'S CAT
2008-05-13 23:01 * Lucifer_Cat is devil in a furry disguise
2008-05-13 23:01 < cimon> btw: earlier, was jwales cloaked and identified with systems? or was Raul or somebody just fooling around?
2008-05-13 23:01 < jebba> quanticle, no, my user isn't blocked.
2008-05-13 23:01 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: they didnt sell it to me
2008-05-13 23:02 < Lucifer_Cat> they just thanked me cuz they look at me and go "well, atleast im not him"
2008-05-13 23:02 < jebba> Vorschlagsnoten, {{unblock|1=msg}} added: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:216.17.145.62

2008-05-13 23:10 < jebba> quanticle, i was trying to edit Lethe, but it's blocked for the sandbox too. Lethe isn't semi-protected.

There have been a couple edits since the vandalism, but in the history about 4 edits back there is an IP which vandalized with spelling mistakes.
2008-05-13 23:12 < Lucifer_Cat> In January 2008, the Malaysian Internal Security Ministry issued a directive alerting newspaper editors not to trust Uncyclopedia. <--- duh

2008-05-13 23:12 < DrSkullthumper> Something about Malaysia warning the people not to fall into the "trap of heart" that is Uncyclopedia
2008-05-13 23:13 < DrSkullthumper> There's a great forum post about it, somewhere. We've got it in our worstref2008 list

2008-05-13 23:15 < yao_ziyuan> should i be happy or sad about the destruction of china's nuclear weapons R&D center, Mianyang, in this earthquake?
2008-05-13 23:16 < Lucifer_Cat> Important note: Indian English is about as English as American or Australian English. It is exemplified in this very article.

2008-05-13 23:17 < yao_ziyuan> make an analogy to israel's bombing of syrian nuke facility

This is a very ingenious idea to attain world domination." <-- Too true.

2008-05-13 23:27 < Mike_H> "Today in Karnataka, an elephant died of embarrassment."
2008-05-13 23:27 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: jeez, i was just kidding

2008-05-13 23:34 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: You can't bittorrent on wireless
2008-05-13 23:34 < Mike_H> quanticle: I like the one bit they wrote on the UK
2008-05-13 23:34 < Mike_H> For nearly 200 years, England ruled over 500 million people on six continents--a time in which it was commonly said that the sun never set on the British Empire. Today, however, the sun sets on the British Empire at precisely 5:47 p.m. GMT.
2008-05-13 23:34 < Lucifer_Cat> but its unencrypted... and occcassionally slow.
2008-05-13 23:34 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: no torrents here.
2008-05-13 23:34 < quanticle> Mike_H: That's win.
2008-05-13 23:35 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: What do you mean? You don't torrent?

2008-05-13 23:35 < yao_ziyuan> quanticle: i still feel so good about the destroy of china's nuke industrial city

2008-05-13 23:36 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: Really? I never got into DC++. Somehow, I could never get past the original Catch-22 of the system. In order to get onto any of the major hubs you needed to be sharing a certain amount. However, in order to get the good stuff to share, you need to be on the hub.
2008-05-13 23:36 < yao_ziyuan> i want to dance
2008-05-13 23:36 * quanticle dances with yao_ziyuan

2008-05-13 23:37 < Lucifer_Cat> also, shared everything i DLd... so it was all mirroring
2008-05-13 23:37 * yao_ziyuan is real motivated
2008-05-13 23:37 * SynergeticMag is watching the intro to 28 weeks later
2008-05-13 23:37 < SynergeticMag> man that guy
2008-05-13 23:37 < clicketyclick> D++ is very elitist
2008-05-13 23:37 < Lucifer_Cat> which guy?
2008-05-13 23:38 < quanticle> Lucifer_Cat: So, essentially, you were doing the same thing as BitTorrent, but with less automation?
2008-05-13 23:38 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: does it have any naked/semi naked girls?
2008-05-13 23:38 < quanticle> clicketyclick: Yeah. That's the vibe I got from DC++ as well.
2008-05-13 23:38 < SynergeticMag> Lucifer_Cat: in the intro, zombies are about to kill this guy and his wife
2008-05-13 23:38 < SynergeticMag> so he leave his wife behind
2008-05-13 23:38 < SynergeticMag> and saves himself
2008-05-13 23:38 < Lucifer_Cat> quanticle: yeah. and they had an awesome chatroom too.
2008-05-13 23:38 < SynergeticMag> and no, no naked people
2008-05-13 23:38 < quanticle> SynergeticMag: And later his wife comes back as a zombie and kills him?
2008-05-13 23:38 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: smart guy. he can always find a younger chick.
2008-05-13 23:39 < SynergeticMag> quanticle: actually no, he goes back to her, and she kills him
2008-05-13 23:39 < clicketyclick> oh that sux
2008-05-13 23:39 < SynergeticMag> minor, but heh
2008-05-13 23:39 < quanticle> SynergeticMag: What a dumb dude.

2008-05-13 23:41 < clicketyclick> ya, wouldn't want to leave any behind for them, the little buggers!
2008-05-13 23:41 < Lucifer_Cat> clicketyclick: do your math sweety.

2008-05-13 23:41 < Mike_H> quanticle|away: and 76 of them are Lucifer_Cat's relatives!
2008-05-13 23:41 < Mike_H> Think of the children.
2008-05-13 23:41 < clicketyclick> well hey, they'd prolly spend it on alcohol anyway
2008-05-13 23:41 < SynergeticMag> lol
2008-05-13 23:42 < clicketyclick> wikipedia-related question:
2008-05-13 23:43 < SynergeticMag> k
2008-05-13 23:43 < clicketyclick> if I understand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Category right, does guideline 7 require that someone use reliable sources to prove something is controversial?
2008-05-13 23:44 < clicketyclick> as in, you do not need to produce reliable sources to categorise something; you only need to do so to challenge it?
2008-05-13 23:44 < SynergeticMag> well, i'm assuming you need it regardless
2008-05-13 23:44 < SynergeticMag> for anything on wikipedia
2008-05-13 23:44 < SynergeticMag> let me read it
2008-05-13 23:44 < DrSkullthumper> It says if the category is shown to be controversial
2008-05-13 23:46 < clicketyclick> says: Categories appear without annotations, so be careful of NPOV when creating or filling categories. Categories that are not self-evident, or are shown through reliable sources to be controversial, should not be included on the article; a list might be a better option.
2008-05-13 23:46 < clicketyclick> it seems as if it requires RS to prove controversiality
2008-05-13 23:46 < clicketyclick> before removal
2008-05-13 23:46 < SynergeticMag> yeah so if its proven to be controversial, it shouldn't be used
2008-05-13 23:46 < clicketyclick> as in, assumed good until proven bad?
2008-05-13 23:47 < SynergeticMag> apparently
2008-05-13 23:47 < SynergeticMag> i'm not sure how that works, i've never had to look into anything about categories
2008-05-13 23:47 < clicketyclick> interesting loophole...
2008-05-13 23:47 < clicketyclick> ^_^
2008-05-13 23:48 < SynergeticMag> well, that whole section needs to be fixed though
2008-05-13 23:48 < clicketyclick> ha, ya
2008-05-13 23:48 < clicketyclick> I am just curious cuz I was looking over a request for mediation about categories
2008-05-13 23:48 < clicketyclick> two actually
2008-05-13 23:49 < clicketyclick> one was an image category though
2008-05-13 23:49 < SynergeticMag> i'd look into a policy related page regarding it
2008-05-13 23:49 < SynergeticMag> if we have one
2008-05-13 23:49 < SynergeticMag> those would be clearer
2008-05-13 23:49 < SynergeticMag> i'd assume
2008-05-13 23:50 < SynergeticMag> ok, so we don't have one
2008-05-13 23:50 < clicketyclick> oh yey
2008-05-13 23:51 < clicketyclick> that means we get to be creative
2008-05-13 23:51 < SynergeticMag> then just ask someone on #wikipedia-en
2008-05-13 23:51 < SynergeticMag> or on wiki
2008-05-13 23:51 < clicketyclick> pssssh I'm on THE #wikipedia!!!
2008-05-13 23:51 < clicketyclick> that's not good enough?
2008-05-13 23:52 < FastLizard4> clicketyclick: nope
2008-05-13 23:52 < SynergeticMag> this channel is usually more for a laid back talk than questions
2008-05-13 23:52 < SynergeticMag> hell, even -en isn't the place to go
2008-05-13 23:52 < clicketyclick> um not according to wikipedia
2008-05-13 23:52 < clicketyclick> #wikipedia - general Wikipedia-related chat, conversations sometimes off-topic.
2008-05-13 23:52 < SynergeticMag> oh well
2008-05-13 23:52 < clicketyclick> SOMETIMES

2008-05-13 23:56 < clicketyclick> pshhh uncyclopedia is for people who don't know big enough words to edit wikipedia.
2008-05-13 23:57 < DrSkullthumper> clicketyclick: I'm afraid that violates our core policy, [[UN:N]]
2008-05-13 23:59 < clicketyclick> hah!
2008-05-13 23:59 < FastLizard4> DrSkullthumper: I thought you said you have no guidelines!
2008-05-13 23:59 < clicketyclick> it isn't a guideline
2008-05-13 23:59 < clicketyclick> it's a policy
2008-05-13 23:59 < clicketyclick> pay attention
2008-05-13 23:59 < DrSkullthumper> FastLizard4: I'm afraid that no one can violate UN:N
2008-05-14 00:00 < DrSkullthumper> Look it up

2008-05-14 00:03 < DrSkullthumper> clicketyclick: You're crazy, aren't you
2008-05-14 00:04 * DrSkullthumper scans clicketyclick
2008-05-14 00:04 < DrSkullthumper> Yep, just as I thought. Your sanity is misplaced.
2008-05-14 00:04 < DrSkullthumper> I can fix that, you know. I'm a doctor.
2008-05-14 00:04 * Sky2042_afk isn't so sure about DrSkullthumper either...
2008-05-14 00:04 * DrSkullthumper grabs a spatula
2008-05-14 00:04 < clicketyclick> ya it's always the "crazy" one who makes it to the end of the horror film tho
2008-05-14 00:04 < clicketyclick> "we'll be safe in here for sure. What? You don't think so? Hahah, you're crazy!
2008-05-14 00:05 < clicketyclick> *eaten by gerbils*
2008-05-14 00:05 < DrSkullthumper> Right, that's it. We're going to see what makes you tick.
2008-05-14 00:05 * DrSkullthumper opens up clicketyclick's skull
2008-05-14 00:05 < clicketyclick> and a spatula will not help you one bit in combating gerbils.
2008-05-14 00:06 * FastLizard4 shows clicketyclick a revolution in computer technology: /me <action>
2008-05-14 00:06 < DrSkullthumper> Ah, I knew it. That's no brain! That's just a bunch of noodles!
2008-05-14 00:06 < clicketyclick> bukkake!
2008-05-14 00:06 < DrSkullthumper> You'd be right at home at #uncyclopedia with a brain like that
2008-05-14 00:07 < clicketyclick> trying to recruit me eh?
2008-05-14 00:07 < Sky2042_afk> yes.
2008-05-14 00:07 * DrSkullthumper hides pamphlets behind his back
2008-05-14 00:07 < DrSkullthumper> Of course not!
2008-05-14 00:07 < Sky2042_afk> that's what happens with wiki peoples on IRC. we crossrecruit.
2008-05-14 00:08 < clicketyclick> ^ that one is a big traitor. I checked out his wiki page
2008-05-14 00:08 < Sky2042_afk> clicketyclick: eh?
2008-05-14 00:09 < clicketyclick> I believe the correct terminology is a wikislut.
2008-05-14 00:09 < clicketyclick> you have accounts on a lot of wikis
2008-05-14 00:09 < DrSkullthumper> Uncyclopedia is my home though, although I like other wikis.
2008-05-14 00:09 < DrSkullthumper> I try to make myself useful across wikis if I can.
2008-05-14 00:10 < Sky2042_afk> clicketyclick: i do, or you referring to skull?
2008-05-14 00:10 < clicketyclick> how fast do you think I'd get an AfD if I made a page for wikislut to complement wikitroll, wikifaerie etc.
2008-05-14 00:10 < Sky2042_afk> I'm sure you could phrase it better than "wikislut".
2008-05-14 00:10 < clicketyclick> wikisexworker?
2008-05-14 00:10 < Sky2042_afk> and then you wouldn't have that issue.
2008-05-14 00:11 < Kofiz> wikixenomorph
2008-05-14 00:11 < Sky2042_afk> ^
2008-05-14 00:11 < clicketyclick> well a volcanic mineral is not exactly what I was going for
2008-05-14 00:12 < DrSkullthumper> wikiwhore
2008-05-14 00:12 < DrSkullthumper> has a certain ring to it, yo know
2008-05-14 00:12 < clicketyclick> but you don't get paid to edit :(
2008-05-14 00:12 < Kofiz> lol I just found out that definition existed
2008-05-14 00:14 < Alkivar> other than a binary epoxy or krazy glue... what would you use to bond plastic to metal "permanently"
2008-05-14 00:15 < clicketyclick> a soldering iron?
2008-05-14 00:16 < clicketyclick> sticky tack?
2008-05-14 00:16 < clicketyclick> why would you need any other option?
2008-05-14 00:16 < clicketyclick> wait, is this for your homework or something?
2008-05-14 00:16 < FastLizard4> Alkivar: Nothing much else
2008-05-14 00:17 < clicketyclick> oh
2008-05-14 00:17 < clicketyclick> I found it
2008-05-14 00:17 < Kofiz> a heavy weight >_>
2008-05-14 00:17 < clicketyclick> Alkivar: [[Plastic welding]]
2008-05-14 00:20 < Alkivar> looks like Krazy Glue is gonna probably be my cheapest semi-permanent solution...
2008-05-14 00:20 < FastLizard4> Alkivar: Go with epoxy
2008-05-14 00:23 < Alkivar> heh i think i've got a tube of JB Weld in my toolbox
2008-05-14 00:23 < Alkivar> that'll do
2008-05-14 00:27 * FastLizard4 is now going to bed, good night!

2008-05-14 01:32 < denelson83|away> Who here wants the snot beaten out of Bill O'Reilly?
2008-05-14 02:07 < koavf> Are any admins on and available for c. 10 minutes?
2008-05-14 02:09 < snowolf> koavf: just a information: it's better to say at least the broad argument for which you need help, as different admins handle differents areas
2008-05-14 02:09 < koavf> Oh sure.
2008-05-14 02:10 < koavf> Well, it's not an argument, it's just maintenance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Working/Manual#Ready_for_deletion
2008-05-14 02:10 * Sky2042 was tempted to reply as if this were #wikia >.>
2008-05-14 02:10 < tawker> Sky2042: heh
2008-05-14 02:11 < snowolf> koavf: sry, meant to say subject (false friend, in italian subject is "argomento" XD)
2008-05-14 02:11 < koavf> Ah.
2008-05-14 02:11 < koavf> Well, if anyone wants to handle this, please do.
2008-05-14 02:12 < koavf> I'm going sleepytimes.
2008-05-14 02:12 < koavf> Thanks much.
2008-05-14 02:13 < tawker> why are we playing op games
2008-05-14 02:14 * snowolf is confused at tawker
2008-05-14 02:18 * tawker sees the op thing working
2008-05-14 02:29 < yang> Is there a DVD release of Wikipedia, where to look for it?
2008-05-14 02:29 < Sky2042> yang: not yet!
2008-05-14 02:29 < yang> Sky2042: but it was made in 2005/2006 once
2008-05-14 02:30 < yang> Sky2042: I downloaded it (maybe it was a German version, I can't remember)
2008-05-14 02:30 < Sky2042> :o
2008-05-14 02:33 < yang> Sky2042: http://www.wikipediaondvd.com/site.php
2008-05-14 02:33 < I_am_Keegan> who wants to clean up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatball ?
2008-05-14 02:33 < I_am_Keegan> The article looks like a center cut of a meatball
2008-05-14 02:35 < Sky2042> i agree.
2008-05-14 02:41 < ThePolecat> Wow, Democrats pick up MS-01.
2008-05-14 02:41 < ThePolecat> Odd things happen.
2008-05-14 02:41 < Ral315> That does surprise me.
2008-05-14 02:41 < ThePolecat> it's now 3-1 D.
2008-05-14 02:42 < ThePolecat> they already picked up Baton Rouge a couple of weeks ago
2008-05-14 02:43 < ThePolecat> (LA-06)
2008-05-14 02:48 < ThePolecat> "... that Daddy Cool’s 1971 single "Eagle Rock" remained at #1 on the Australian National charts for a record ten weeks before being replaced by the single "Daddy Cool" by another band cashing in their success?"
2008-05-14 02:48 < ThePolecat> That's awesome
2008-05-14 02:48 < ThePolecat> If that happened today people would moan about the evilness of these times.
2008-05-14 03:28 < Werdna> And that will become more problematic over time. I did a linear progression of this recently. I don't have the finished data any more. But if I recall correctly, the progression showed that by the time two years from now we'll be nominating >100 admins per week. I don't think what is being suggested is readily scalable. --Durin 16:31, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
2008-05-14 03:28 < Werdna> ahhhh
2008-05-14 03:28 < Werdna> and that's why we love our RfA regulars
2008-05-14 03:28 < Werdna> saving our RfA process from certain doom at the hands of saturation.
2008-05-14 03:31 < Aqwis> in 10 000 year we'll be nominating 1³° admins per day!
2008-05-14 03:31 < Aqwis> *years
2008-05-14 03:32 < Werdna> 7 admins per week?
2008-05-14 03:47 < denelson83|away> Aqwis: Just say 1^... Wait a minute... 1^n = 1 for any nonzero n!
2008-05-14 03:49 * denelson83|away is listening to "29 Palms" by Robert Plant (4:51 - 128kbps - 44kHz - Stereo)
2008-05-14 03:51 * denelson83 calls out... A n y b o d y   h o m e ? ? ?
2008-05-14 03:59 < zocky> http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/05/13/darth-vader-lash
2008-05-14 04:01 < AdamBishop> yeah that was awesome. I especially like that the victims caught it on tape because they were going to film their own light saber battle.
2008-05-14 04:04 < zocky> it all happened in the training grounds of the local church of jedi, which I think is in their garden
2008-05-14 04:05 < zocky> mom's garden, most likely
2008-05-14 04:15 < Netsniper> sometimes windows xp asks some tough questions http://www.theeldergeek.com/images/HT2_007/SP32-20040715-183242.gif

2008-05-14 06:19 * soufron hello
2008-05-14 07:00 < privatemusings> anybody fancy gossiping about other wikipedians behind their back?
2008-05-14 07:00 < privatemusings> guess not....
2008-05-14 07:01 < privatemusings> oh well - I think it's prohibited anywhoo........

2008-05-14 07:01 < privatemusings> well we can't gossip about you if you're here.....
2008-05-14 07:01 < privatemusings> but I did hear the warpath was actually more like warpavement.......

2008-05-14 07:02 < Warpath> :~(
2008-05-14 07:02 < privatemusings> it's just what someone told me...
2008-05-14 07:02 < privatemusings> an admin actually.....
2008-05-14 07:02 < privatemusings> ;-)
2008-05-14 07:03 < privatemusings> (I am making all of this up, and am too foolish not to blink first!)
2008-05-14 07:03 * Werdna turns back on #wikipedia
2008-05-14 07:03 * privatemusings blinks and blushes all at the same time......
2008-05-14 07:03 * privatemusings immediately continues talking about warpavement now she or he has left.......
2008-05-14 07:04 < privatemusings> (I'm also very fickle..... ;-) )
