2008-05-22 04:17 < Sdalmonte> Lady_Aleena: articles.
2008-05-22 04:18 < Sdalmonte> For example: "Angel/Stitch couplings have now been heard all over the USA. There are much more than 5,000000000000000000,678,000 fans of Angel/Stitch and all of them agree to the notion that Angel should be the main girl in Stitch's life."
2008-05-22 04:18 < Lady_Aleena> Similar to vandalism?
2008-05-22 04:19 < Sdalmonte> It doesn't look like vandalism.
2008-05-22 04:19 < Lady_Aleena> How often are edits like that made by the user? How disruptive are the edits?
2008-05-22 04:21 < Sdalmonte> They've made 6 disruptive edits in the past week or so, and deleting legitimate information in the process.
2008-05-22 04:22 < Lady_Aleena> Sounds like vandalism.
2008-05-22 04:22 < Luna-San> As cute as they must be, the fact remains they're damaging our content and need to stop. =\
2008-05-22 04:23 < Lady_Aleena> Treat the user as a vandal, IMO.
2008-05-22 04:27 * Lady_Aleena is trying to get back into the swing of editing, but since the thing, it is hard. She was on a roll, then it happened and her focus shifted. She tries to refocus.
2008-05-22 04:32 < uberpenguin> editing is overrated
2008-05-22 04:32 < uberpenguin> soon you'll realize that the primary activity supported here is sitting around, wasting time, and occasionally complaining
2008-05-22 04:33 < Luna-San> I'd like to file a complaint.
2008-05-22 04:34 < Luna-San> uberpenguin's sarcastic attitude is really spoiling my sit-around-doing-nothing time =\
2008-05-22 04:34 < bumm13> hiya uberpenguin
2008-05-22 04:34 < uberpenguin> hey bumm13
2008-05-22 04:35 < uberpenguin> it's not sarcasm as much as cynicism, but I can see how you could mistake it as such
2008-05-22 04:35 < uberpenguin> editing is a thankless job; arguing with policy wonks and/or deleting things and/or arguing ABOUT deleting things are how you get ahead
2008-05-22 04:37 < Sdalmonte> OK, so I added the uw-vandalism2 template to her/their user talk - their offending edits didn't look like bad faith so much as comments from an unhealthily obsessed fan/shipper.
2008-05-22 04:37 < Sdalmonte> Thanks for the advice
2008-05-22 04:39 < Luna-San> I'm waiting for the day we have more XfD pages than articles
2008-05-22 04:39 < Luna-San> Unless we already hit that?
2008-05-22 04:40 < Sdalmonte> Depends. Total, or at any one time?
2008-05-22 04:42 < AdamBishop> editing is for chumps. Reverting edits is where the action is
2008-05-22 04:46 < uberpenguin> at times the FAR process was delisting more articles than FAC listed
2008-05-22 04:46 < uberpenguin> I dunno if that's still the case, nor do I much care
2008-05-22 04:46 < uberpenguin> but I found it amusing at the time
2008-05-22 04:47 < Luna-San> There's a few pages I've edited that basically haven't been touched, since, even a year or more later.
2008-05-22 04:47 < AdamBishop> well, next year when someone creates new FA standards, they can all be put on FAR all over again
2008-05-22 04:48 < Luna-San> Nice and easy, those. No edit wars or anything.
2008-05-22 04:48 < Luna-San> Very relaxing work.
2008-05-22 04:48 < AdamBishop> and any old chump whose only qualification is hanging around on Wikipedia a lot can peer review a new crop of FA articles!
2008-05-22 04:48 < Luna-San> Then there's the opposite side of the spectrum: a few hundred kilobytes spent arguing over a sentence or two on the [[Libertarianism]] article
2008-05-22 04:49 < Luna-San> I'd check, but I'm halfway willing to bet the paragraph we all spent so much time arguing over isn't even there, anymore. :p
2008-05-22 04:51 < uberpenguin> Luna-San: sentence? ha! I can think of a few which expended hundreds of kilobites on a single word
2008-05-22 04:52 < uberpenguin> and another which caused endless fighting over a single LETTER
2008-05-22 04:52 < uberpenguin> (not kidding)
2008-05-22 04:52 < Luna-San> Dialect issue?
2008-05-22 04:52 < uberpenguin> nope, but close
2008-05-22 04:53 < Sdalmonte> Do tell.
2008-05-22 04:55 < StayTuned> printing covers for the CD's now
2008-05-22 04:55 < Sdalmonte> Say what?
2008-05-22 04:56 < StayTuned> I just made 35 promotional copies of Sky Wheel
2008-05-22 04:56 < StayTuned> tomorrow I need to go over to office max (today actually)
2008-05-22 04:56 < StayTuned> and buy more CD's and paper cases
2008-05-22 04:57 < Sdalmonte> I see. Is Sky Wheel music?
2008-05-22 04:58 < StayTuned> yes
2008-05-22 04:58 < StayTuned> it is the second album by Digital Noise Control
2008-05-22 04:58 < StayTuned> due to be released on iTunes June 7
2008-05-22 04:58 < Sdalmonte> Oh, OK
2008-05-22 04:59 < StayTuned> I already gave 40 of them away in the US
2008-05-22 04:59 < StayTuned> 50 CDs are on the street in the UK
2008-05-22 05:24 < JessicaTaylor> Hello everyone
2008-05-22 05:24 < sphefx> hello
2008-05-22 05:25 < Sdalmonte> Hi
2008-05-22 05:26 < Sdalmonte> Well, that was underwhelming
2008-05-22 05:26 < sphefx> yeah
2008-05-22 05:26 < sphefx> sure is quiet in here
2008-05-22 05:26 < Werdna> that's what you think
2008-05-22 05:27 < sphefx> yes it is Werdana :)
2008-05-22 05:52 < Lubaf> Besides George W. Bush, who was the worst President the US ever had?
2008-05-22 05:53 < Luna-San> There was one guy early on who died less than a month after taking office, I think?
2008-05-22 05:53 < sphefx> Lubaf: I head the guy who held office before Lincoln was pretty bad
2008-05-22 05:53 < sphefx> James Buchanan or something
2008-05-22 05:54 < Lubaf> It's hard to top Buchanan.
2008-05-22 05:54 < sphefx> but I dunno... im not american so I dont really have much of an idea
2008-05-22 05:54 < Lubaf> Bush pulled it off, but Buchanan's fairly hard to beat.
2008-05-22 05:54 < sphefx> lol
2008-05-22 05:54 < sphefx> is bush really that bad?
2008-05-22 05:55 < sphefx> or is it just the media?
2008-05-22 05:55 < Luna-San> Ah... Buchanan did a pretty shit job, that's true.
2008-05-22 05:55 < Aqwis> i think if he had not invaded Aghanistan and Iraq, bush would just have been a regular president, not very good or bad
2008-05-22 05:55 < Aqwis> would have been considered*
2008-05-22 05:55 < Luna-San> Although I've never covered much, aside from his clumsy and ill-fated efforts re impending war.
2008-05-22 05:57 < Lubaf> Aqwis: Iraq, plus various political blunders that showed him to be a poser.
2008-05-22 05:57 < Aqwis> but every president has those political blunders
2008-05-22 05:58 < Lubaf> Aqwis: Bush's indicate there's no there there.
2008-05-22 05:58 < Aqwis> hmz
2008-05-22 06:47 < Messedrocker> On March 14, 2007 Take-Two filed a lawsuit to prevent Thompson from preventing the sale of Grand Theft Auto IV and Manhunt 2 to minors, claiming that Thompson's effort to block sales of its games through lawsuits violates the company's First Amendment rights.[63] Responding, Thompson said, "I have been praying, literally, that Take-Two and its lawyers would do something so stupid, so arrogant, so dumb, even dumber than what they have to
2008-05-22 06:47 < Messedrocker> date done, that such a misstep would enable me to destroy Take-Two."[64] On April 19, 2007, Thompson and Take-Two settled their suit, with Thompson agreeing not to restrict sales through any court worldwide of Take-Two's games, threaten to sue the company, or accuse Take-Two of any wrongdoing based on the sale of any of its games.
2008-05-22 06:48 < Werdna> bahahahahaha
2008-05-22 06:48 < Werdna> pwned.
2008-05-22 06:48 < Alkivar> but it gets better
2008-05-22 06:48 < Alkivar> he's going to be censured and lose his license to practice in florida
2008-05-22 06:51 < Fire> join #wikipedia-de
2008-05-22 06:51 < Fire> -.-
2008-05-22 06:52 < Alkivar> The Florida legal career of Jack Thompson may be nearing an end as the judge presiding over his trial at the Florida Bar has recommended guilty verdicts be returned on 27 of 31 charges. The State Supreme Court will now decide whether Thompson should be disbarred.
2008-05-22 06:52 < Alkivar> http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080520-judges-report-in-jack-thompson-case-guilty-on-27-charges.html
2008-05-22 06:52 < nsh> the guy needs to be institutionalised
2008-05-22 06:52 < nsh> he filed gay porn and swastikas
2008-05-22 06:52 < Alkivar> so Take Two gets its victory... and shortly thereafter the rest of the world gets theirs
2008-05-22 06:54 < Messedrocker> he'll end up resorting to soapboxing on the streets of miami
2008-05-22 06:54 < Alkivar> nah... even disbarred he may be able to practice law in another state
2008-05-22 06:54 < Alkivar> which means he can still file shit
2008-05-22 06:54 < Messedrocker> but isn't getting disbarred a curse?
2008-05-22 06:54 < Alkivar> even disbarred a lawyer isnt necessarily prevented from practicing law
2008-05-22 06:55 < Alkivar> In the United States legal system, disbarment is specific to regions; one can be disbarred from some courts, while still being a member of the bar in another jurisdiction.
2008-05-22 06:56 < Alkivar> the majority of US states have no procedure for permanently disbarring a person. Depending on the jurisdiction, a lawyer may reapply to the bar immediately, after five to seven years, or be banned for life
2008-05-22 06:56 < Alkivar> so even if he is disbarred it may only be temporary
2008-05-22 06:57 < Alkivar> for example
2008-05-22 06:57 < Messedrocker> he should hate super smash brothers for promoting violence against italians, futuristic womans, and cute round pink things
2008-05-22 06:57 < Alkivar> On July 20, 1979, Fred Phelps was permanently disbarred from practicing law in the state of Kansas,[17] but continued to practice in the Federal courts
2008-05-22 06:57 < Messedrocker> granted the violence in that game is consensual
2008-05-22 06:57 < Alkivar> yes that is GodHatesFags Fred Phelps
2008-05-22 06:58 < Alkivar> so its possible Thompson may lose his florida license but still pester people in federal court (although its much harder to file a case there)
2008-05-22 06:59 < Alkivar> just wanted to point out that while him getting disbarred is fucking great (it will definately cast a negative light on any future filings/open cases) it doesnt mean he's down for the count
2008-05-22 06:59 < Alkivar> well i'm off to bed... its 7am
2008-05-22 07:00 < bumm13> hmm, this coming weekend is Memorial Day weekend in the U.S.
2008-05-22 07:02 < dJ|iiIiI> awww this place is rather boring
2008-05-22 07:02 < dJ|iiIiI> lets have a party!!!
2008-05-22 07:11 < sphefx> whats "netsplitting"?
2008-05-22 07:12 < gammy> Hey guys. How can I find out the name of a template in another wikipedia language? Specifically I am looking for {{unreferenced}} for the Swedish wikipedia.
2008-05-22 07:12 < bumm13> se.wikipedia.org
2008-05-22 07:13 < dJ|iiIiI> honestly what is the most useless page on wikipedia?
2008-05-22 07:13 < gammy> bumm13: Yes of course but I still cannot find the template in Swedish.
2008-05-22 07:13 < bumm13> http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias for all wikipedias
2008-05-22 07:14 < bumm13> wait, that's supposed to be sv.wikipedia.org
2008-05-22 07:14 < bumm13> it's at http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mall:Källor
2008-05-22 07:14 < bumm13> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Unreferenced has interwiki links
2008-05-22 07:14 < gammy> Really? I looked for ages
2008-05-22 07:14 < gammy> I must be daft then
2008-05-22 07:15 < bumm13> it's ok :)
2008-05-22 07:15 < gammy> I still can't find it.
2008-05-22 07:15 < bumm13> ?
2008-05-22 07:15 < gammy> NOW I found it
2008-05-22 07:15 < bumm13> \o/
2008-05-22 07:15 < gammy> {{Källor behövs}}
2008-05-22 07:15 < gammy> God what an annoying thing to have as language-specific. Impossible to keep track of.
2008-05-22 07:16 < gammy> There.
2008-05-22 07:16 < gammy> Yay :).
2008-05-22 07:16 < gammy> bumm13: Thank you for the help!
2008-05-22 07:16 < gammy> Aw man the template lies
2008-05-22 07:17 < gammy> it translates to "This article needs more sources"
2008-05-22 07:17 < gammy> Yet the name (källor behövs) means "Sources needed"
2008-05-22 07:17 < gammy> Tricky :)
2008-05-22 07:17 < gammy> "{{Källa behövs}} – används efter en uppgift som behöver källhänvisning." - yet that template doesn't exist
2008-05-22 07:18 < gammy> What a MESS
2008-05-22 07:18 < bumm13> try asking in #wikipedia-sv
2008-05-22 07:21 < pengo> has anyone noticed that spanish wikipedia is by far the most popular after english, but is only 9th in size by articles ?
2008-05-22 07:22 < pengo> (and 5th by edit count)
2008-05-22 07:23 < bumm13> they need editors, it sounds like
2008-05-22 07:24 < bumm13> whereas the Spanish-speaking world is fairly large
2008-05-22 07:24 < bumm13> not like English, but still large
2008-05-22 07:24 < gammy> Man
2008-05-22 07:24 < gammy> This is superbad
2008-05-22 07:24 < gammy> bumm13: There simply does not exist any template for it!
2008-05-22 07:24 < bbot> Much like how you face is superugly!
2008-05-22 07:24 < gammy> What a joke!
2008-05-22 07:25 < bumm13> gammy: I'm sorry
2008-05-22 07:25 < gammy> I can't believe this
2008-05-22 07:25 < gammy> Swedish energy companies are using the Swedish wiki to "prove" stuff
2008-05-22 07:25 < gammy> And it's all a load of bollocks
2008-05-22 07:25 < gammy> Very upsetting >:|
2008-05-22 07:25 < Werdna> lols
2008-05-22 07:27 < gammy> Oh hey I found it
2008-05-22 07:27 < gammy> It was not listed in the translation for templates or in the template list
2008-05-22 07:43 < gammy> Phew. been looking for a neutrality template for 15 minutes.
2008-05-22 07:43 < gammy> Very tricky stuff, this.
2008-05-22 07:48 < nsh> when is clarence thomas going to fucking die already?
2008-05-22 07:51 < Mm40> Netsplitting?
2008-05-22 07:52 < gammy> bumm13: Ok, got it as I wanted it (sort of) .. the English wikipedia is much more sorted indeed!
2008-05-22 07:52 < Mm40> wat is ntesplitting
2008-05-22 07:55 * Lady_Aleena grumbles.
2008-05-22 07:56 < Lady_Aleena> I am going nuts, I can find information on the sequels to this book, but can't find the original. ACK!
2008-05-22 08:24 < bbot> God damn it, verizon.
2008-05-22 08:58 * Lady_Aleena now has a headache

2008-05-22 09:31 < bbot> Greece, probably.
2008-05-22 09:32 * Lady_Aleena softly giggles.

2008-05-22 09:41 < bbot> Always with the pain and misery.
2008-05-22 09:42 < bbot> Kanonkas: Typically, the best way to block a proxy is to vandalize Jimbo's talk page.
2008-05-22 09:45 < pengo> do non-profits pay less for tv ads?

2008-05-22 09:53 < Ziggy_Sawdust> I just made this
2008-05-22 09:54 < Ziggy_Sawdust> can anyone figure it out? :P
2008-05-22 09:54 < gammy> Ziggy_Sawdust: Somewhat elongated, is it not?
2008-05-22 09:55 < Ziggy_Sawdust> Yeah, but it's pretty obvious
2008-05-22 09:55 < gammy> Ziggy_Sawdust: Also, it is very aimed towards Americans.
2008-05-22 09:55 < Ziggy_Sawdust> Two words...
2008-05-22 09:55 < gammy> I'm Swedish here, the 4th picture is..

2008-05-22 09:55 < Ziggy_Sawdust> The 4th picture is Dee Snider
2008-05-22 09:55 < Lady_Aleena> {{Globalize}} :)
2008-05-22 09:55 < gammy> Ziggy_Sawdust: Who's that?

2008-05-22 09:56 < gammy> Ah.
2008-05-22 09:56 * gammy blinks
2008-05-22 09:56 * gammy will start using Swedish rappers in his ones.
2008-05-22 09:56 < gammy> ;)

2008-05-22 10:26 < Ziggy_Sawdust> What/A
2008-05-22 10:53 < quanticle> "Until Mars is turned into private property, the only alternative means of exploring and exploiting that planet is through the forced service--in other words, the enslavement--of others: either the explorers who develop land that is later expropriated from them or the taxpayers who are forced to pay for that exploration."
2008-05-22 10:54 < quanticle> http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3462
2008-05-22 10:54 < Aqwis> ah
2008-05-22 10:54 < Aqwis> that sounds really Objectivist
2008-05-22 11:01 < quanticle> Aqwis: It is. I want #wikipedia's help in formulating a rebuttal.
2008-05-22 11:02 < Aqwis> it's not possible to formulate a rebuttal against anything related to Objectivism
2008-05-22 11:03 < Aqwis> which is actually useful
2008-05-22 11:03 < Aqwis> so it's a waste of time
2008-05-22 11:03 < quanticle> Aqwis: Now that's just defeatist.
2008-05-22 11:03 < Aqwis> i've experienced Schroeder.
2008-05-22 11:03 < quanticle> Aqwis: So have I.
2008-05-22 11:14 < TheWeasel> NA(imagine SS-type S here)A tyranny!
2008-05-22 11:16 < TheWeasel> calling taxes exploitation has no more creedence than a belief in a certain religion, you're quite entitled to hold it, but it isn't useful in public life.
2008-05-22 11:18 < quanticle> TheWeasel: The main point of the linked column is that it would be more efficient economically to essentially reward Mars to the first private individual that can reach it. The writer argues that giving Mars to the first person or organization to reach it would create incentives not only to get to Mars, but to do something useful once you've arrived.
2008-05-22 11:18 < TheWeasel> I think private, uncoordinated space travel would be a catastrophe.
2008-05-22 11:20 < KingOfAll> Private, uncoordinated air travel was the norm for a while...
2008-05-22 11:20 < quanticle> TheWeasel: As would I, but, at the same time, I'm not sure it'd be any more of a catastrophe than NASA's squandering of opportunities.
2008-05-22 11:20 < Aqwis> give NASA the budget of the Iraq War
2008-05-22 11:20 < TheWeasel> the air travel to the extent it was done had no need to be coordinated.
2008-05-22 11:21 < TheWeasel> NASA is at least vaguely accountable.
2008-05-22 11:21 < quanticle> Aqwis: And they'd waste it somehow. Unless there's a real threat of someone overtaking us, the US doesn't do anything with regards to space.
2008-05-22 11:21 < Aqwis> they wouldn't be able to waste a budget 100x times larger than their current one completely
2008-05-22 11:22 < quanticle> TheWeasel: And private space travel wouldn't be? I can imagine setting up some kind of FAA-like organization to enforce basic safety considerations.
2008-05-22 11:22 < TheWeasel> that's tyranny.
2008-05-22 11:22 < TheWeasel> :-P
2008-05-22 11:22 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Heh.
2008-05-22 11:22 < TheWeasel> "massive bureaucracy"
2008-05-22 11:23 < TheWeasel> Eh... I could imagine a private space travel that basically assumes the responsibilities a public institution would have to assume.
2008-05-22 11:23 < quanticle> Aqwis: You're understimating the ability of government to be corrupt. Remember Parkinson's Law.
2008-05-22 11:23 < TheWeasel> (SpaceShipOne etc.), but that's not really the thing our free market friends are on about.
2008-05-22 11:24 < quanticle> TheWeasel: The real question is whether private space travel would be any more efficient than the current regime.
2008-05-22 11:25 < TheWeasel> I think calling economic efficiency the only thing to consider misses the point vastly, the answer is "likely" though.
2008-05-22 11:29 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Well, if economic efficiency isn't the point, what is?
2008-05-22 11:29 * quanticle is tired on NASA's dithering with regards to space exploration
2008-05-22 11:30 < TheWeasel> safety of astronauts and the world at large, accountability with regard to space waste, coordination with other projects...
2008-05-22 11:34 < quanticle> As far as safety is concerned, that's why you'd have an FAA-like organization. For space waste, you'd just have to internalize the externality effect by having some kind of dumping fee - i.e. you're charged for the booster rockets and sundry artifacts you leave in orbit. And as far as coordination with other projects, arguably a free market can ensure much better coordination than any sort of full government control.
2008-05-22 11:35 < quanticle> Hmmm. Does anyone know of any places I can download public domain classical music?
2008-05-22 11:35 < ijustam> is that possible?
2008-05-22 11:35 < ijustam> wouldn't you have to pay royalties to whoever recorded it?
2008-05-22 11:35 < ijustam> or performed it?
2008-05-22 11:36 < quanticle> ijustam: Classical music recordings have been around for long enough that some must have passed into the public domain by now.
2008-05-22 11:37 < quanticle> ijustam: I mean, its not like this stuff has been recorded especially recently.
2008-05-22 11:39 < TheWeasel> We have recordings on Wikipedia
2008-05-22 11:39 < TheWeasel> from the 1910s and 20s.
2008-05-22 11:39 < cctoide> Anybody here ever did live screencasting of DirectX/OpenGL applications (such as games)?
2008-05-22 11:39 < TheWeasel> We even have Brahms playing his own stuff in something like 1885
2008-05-22 11:41 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Huh. Cool.
2008-05-22 11:41 < quanticle> "One theory is that Mrs Clinton is playing her cards to get the vice-presidency. This would be her best shot at becoming the first woman president: after eight years of serving as Mr Obama's second. She may have hinted at that, speaking of party unity and saying that she and Mr Obama saw “eye to eye” about beating John McCain, even as they stood “toe to toe” battling each other."
2008-05-22 11:42 < Aqwis> i doubt she'd be popular enough after 8 years as VP
2008-05-22 11:42 < quanticle> To be quite honest, Obama could get all of the benefits of Clinton (white, working class voter support) with none of the risk by picking John Edwards as his running mate.
2008-05-22 11:43 < Aqwis> hmm
2008-05-22 11:43 < Aqwis> can you have two vice presidents? ;)
2008-05-22 11:43 < cimon> Well, she could also be thinking about Hucabees idea...
2008-05-22 11:43 < TheWeasel> Except for the fact that 50% of people (and probably more now) have a seething, irrational hate for Hillary.
2008-05-22 11:43 < quanticle> Aqwis: I suspect that the main reason that Hillary has been doing as marginally well as she has is that all of Edwards' supporters have largely migrated to Hillary.
2008-05-22 11:44 < TheWeasel> (not that there are no reasons to criticize her, but the way it is done in many quarters goes well beyond sanity)
2008-05-22 11:44 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Right, which is why I suggested Edwards - all of the benefit with much less risk.
2008-05-22 11:45 < TheWeasel> oh ... right
2008-05-22 11:45 < TheWeasel> I missed that
2008-05-22 11:45 < TheWeasel> PLUS Edwards is Southern.
2008-05-22 11:45 < TheWeasel> I thought you were arguing the other way round, which woulda been odd.
2008-05-22 11:46 < quanticle> Not at all. The only issue with Edwards is Edwards himself. Namely, does he want to play second fiddle again, given his experience as Kerry's running mate.
2008-05-22 11:46 < quanticle> *?
2008-05-22 11:50 < quanticle> 'COMPLIMENTING the success of the Iraqi army in predominantly Shia areas, the AP is reporting that attacks are down at least 85% in the northern city of Mosul since the start of a joint US-Iraqi operation earlier this month.'
2008-05-22 11:50 < quanticle> 'But, as in Sadr City and now Basra, things seem almost too quiet. Many believe the militants are merely laying low, hoping to fight another day.'
2008-05-22 11:50 < quanticle> 'But, of course, Dick Cheney had to go and jinx it all. Speaking at the Coast Guard Academy commencement yesterday, he said the troop surge in Iraq "succeeded brilliantly".'
2008-05-22 12:40 < haza-w> I'm going to have to request some advice here.
2008-05-22 12:40 * Broooooooce here to serve.
2008-05-22 12:41 < haza-w> [[Talk:Civil war in Iraq]] features several threads by different users and IPs, formatted and worded very similarly, calling for the deletion of the article on the grounds that the article is massively outdated and could not become valid without a substantial rewrite.
2008-05-22 12:41 < Anonymous101> we don't delete for that reason do we?
2008-05-22 12:41 < haza-w> Anonymous101: No, precisely.
2008-05-22 12:42 < haza-w> That was in fact mentioned on one of the discussions on that page, featuring Magickyleo101. I was thinking about mediation, but the problem is that the users/IPs seem to constantly change.
2008-05-22 12:43 < haza-w> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Civil_war_in_Iraq&diff=214212945&oldid=213922868 was the latest in a long-running series of unexplained content deletions (this one's fairly mild) over this issue.
2008-05-22 12:44 < haza-w> It has the potential to boil over into an all-out edit war, but I doubt a period of semi-protection would do much. The edits have been going on since September 2007.
2008-05-22 12:46 < Anonymous101> Are the users making the edits usually autoconfirmed. If not, semi protection could help
2008-05-22 12:46 < Anonymous101> Are the users making the edits usually autoconfirmed. If not, semi protection could help
2008-05-22 12:47 < Anonymous101> but otherwise I don't know what can be done as the edits are being made by different users
2008-05-22 12:48 < haza-w> Anonymous101: Well, it's entirely IPs and non-ACed users.
2008-05-22 12:48 < Anonymous101> ok
2008-05-22 12:48 < haza-w> However, given the long time span of the edits, a period of semi-protection would only keep the problem away for a short period.
2008-05-22 12:48 < Anonymous101> i suppose
2008-05-22 12:52 < Ziggy_Sawdust> Let me recite a limerick about account security:
2008-05-22 12:52 * Ziggy_Sawdust There once was a sysop named Schluter.
2008-05-22 12:52 * Ziggy_Sawdust Who logged on from a public computer.
2008-05-22 12:52 * Ziggy_Sawdust But there was a keylogger
2008-05-22 12:52 * Ziggy_Sawdust Installed by some blogger;
2008-05-22 12:53 * Ziggy_Sawdust Now there's penises on the Main Page.
2008-05-22 12:55 < quanticle> Ziggy_Sawdust: You phail at limericking
2008-05-22 12:55 < Ziggy_Sawdust> NO U
2008-05-22 12:57 < quanticle> There once was a sysop name Schluter
2008-05-22 12:57 < quanticle> Who logged on from a public computer
2008-05-22 12:57 < quanticle> But there was a keylogger
2008-05-22 12:57 < quanticle> Installed by a blogger
2008-05-22 12:57 < quanticle> Now there goatse and tubgirl all over
2008-05-22 12:57 < cctoide> hmm, speaking of the main page
2008-05-22 12:57 < cctoide> is there a list of Main Page... mishaps anywhere?
2008-05-22 13:02 < chug> Hola Mis Amigos
2008-05-22 13:05 < cctoide> Ugh, burned dust smells terrible
2008-05-22 13:06 < chug> Gracenotes: Are you that famous guy?
2008-05-22 13:06 < Gracenotes> chug: for some definitions of famous, yes :)
2008-05-22 13:06 < chug> wow
2008-05-22 13:07 < chug> I never thought I'd actually see you in a chat room
2008-05-22 13:07 < chug> I'm famous too
2008-05-22 13:07 < Gracenotes> ah. I go here all the time...
2008-05-22 13:07 < chug> I have a pretty popular webcomic
2008-05-22 13:07 < chug> Remind me what you're famous for again? Some controversy? I think I read something on The Register about it
2008-05-22 13:07 < Gracenotes> I may have heard of it... what is it?
2008-05-22 13:08 < chug> http://www.drunkduck.com/Powerup_Comics/
2008-05-22 13:08 < Gracenotes> chug: NY Times Magazine had profiled me as part of an aritcle about neutrality on Wikipedia, and the social implications thereof...
2008-05-22 13:08 < chug> are you the guy who said you were a prof?
2008-05-22 13:08 < cctoide> hmm... the only people I associate with "famous" and "Wikipedia" are Snowspinner, DavidGerard and Mr. Treason
2008-05-22 13:08 < Gracenotes> not to mention cultural implications actually
2008-05-22 13:09 < Gracenotes> cctoide: I'm not really *famous*... chug: you're thinking of Essjay
2008-05-22 13:09 < chug> oh yeah
2008-05-22 13:09 < chug> hahaha man that guy has hella balls I gotta say
2008-05-22 13:09 < Gracenotes> he retired from Wikipedia since that incident and (as far as the hoi palloi know) hasn't returned
2008-05-22 13:09 < chug> he trolled the *world*
2008-05-22 13:09 < quanticle> cctoide: Really? The only people I consider famous in regards to Wikipedia are Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger, and possibly Durova/SlimVirgin (because they've raised the most drama).
2008-05-22 13:10 < quanticle> EssJay?
2008-05-22 13:10 * quanticle can has link plz?
2008-05-22 13:10 < cctoide> quanticle: well, the people I listed were probably the ones who were in the spotlight back when I decided to read up on WP drama
2008-05-22 13:10 < cctoide> Mr. Treason was just hilarious, though
2008-05-22 13:11 < Gracenotes> cctoide: they were definitely newsworthy figures in Wikipedia's past... not really around so much anymore (except DavidGerard)
2008-05-22 13:11 < quanticle> cctoide: Aww man. Why is it that all the good drama is in the past when I join an organization?
2008-05-22 13:11 < chug> so are you named after the company or what?
2008-05-22 13:11 < quanticle> chug: Which company?
2008-05-22 13:11 < Gracenotes> no, named after the musical ornamentation
2008-05-22 13:12 < chug> ah
2008-05-22 13:12 < quanticle> Oh. That company.
2008-05-22 13:12 < quanticle> Isn't the Gracenotes the commercial version of CDDB?
2008-05-22 13:12 < haza-w> Gracenotes: I suppose "User:Acciaccatura" is harder to spell...
2008-05-22 13:12 < quanticle> er s/the/
2008-05-22 13:12 < haza-w> quanticle: Gracenotes is the company that released CDDB, n'est-ce pas?
2008-05-22 13:12 < Gracenotes> Gracenote is the name, and it's a sad story of corporate idiocy...
2008-05-22 13:13 < Gracenotes> haza-w: Appogiatura isn't much better
2008-05-22 13:13 < quanticle> haza-w: Really? I thought CDDB was free and Gracenote commercialized it.
2008-05-22 13:13 < haza-w> Gracenotes: Agreed
2008-05-22 13:13 < Gracenotes> +g
2008-05-22 13:13 < haza-w> quanticle: Aye, that sounds about right.
2008-05-22 13:13 < chug> so anyway, have you heard of my webcomic?
2008-05-22 13:13 < quanticle> Acciaccatura - see its not that hard.
2008-05-22 13:13 < cctoide> quanticle: heh
2008-05-22 13:14 < cctoide> Well, you only get to see a particular drama episode's impact after a while
2008-05-22 13:14 < cctoide> And after that it's already "in the past"
2008-05-22 13:14 < Gracenotes> chug: no, but I like it :)
2008-05-22 13:14 < cctoide> Although I guess over the last two years or so there have been people within WP cracking down on it
2008-05-22 13:14 < quanticle> cctoide: Ah. Right. Anyway, there was a NYTimes article mentioned?
2008-05-22 13:15 < quanticle> I was wondering if you had a link to that.
2008-05-22 13:15 < Gracenotes> Kurt said about [[User:Neapolitan Sixth]] ==Your username==/You're my new favorite Wikipedian! ... if I could have earned his admiration that way I would've named myself [[User:Neapolitan Six-Four]]...
2008-05-22 13:16 < cctoide> Nope, sorry
2008-05-22 13:16 < cctoide> Although I still do get Google Alerts for "wikipedia", back from when I was testing them out
2008-05-22 13:16 < cctoide> I've read a few interesting stories as a result of that
2008-05-22 13:17 < cctoide> but at the same time, it's a bit disheartening to see that some online newspaper "discovers" Wikipedia every week or so
2008-05-22 13:17 < chug> Wikipedia needs a page for Powerup Comics
2008-05-22 13:17 < Sfan00> I see Oil continues to rise in price :(
2008-05-22 13:17 < chug> that's a great discovery
2008-05-22 13:17 < Gracenotes> sfan00: and the solution, of course, is to lower the price of oil. that'll help us in the long run, right? right?
2008-05-22 13:18 < Sfan00> Nah
2008-05-22 13:18 < Sfan00> The problem isn't a lack of oil, or the price
2008-05-22 13:18 < chug> you notice how car companies are saying "buy our car and you'll only have to pay $2.70/gal for the next five years"
2008-05-22 13:18 < chug> ?
2008-05-22 13:18 < chug> Why don't they just make the cars get better gas mileage?
2008-05-22 13:18 < Gracenotes> sfan00: so SoIP (sarcasm over IP) failed? :|
2008-05-22 13:18 < Gracenotes> chug: that's not really sustainable
2008-05-22 13:19 < Sfan00> chug: :O
2008-05-22 13:19 < Gracenotes> anything involving gasoline isn't sustainable
2008-05-22 13:19 < Sfan00> Seriously do you really think China is worried about Gas mileage?
2008-05-22 13:19 < haza-w`> chug: Because then Hummer would be out of business.
2008-05-22 13:19 < Aqwis> how much is a gallon in liters?
2008-05-22 13:19 < Sfan00> Aqwis: try google
2008-05-22 13:19 < haza-w`> Gracenotes: What do you reckon, then? Bioethanol for the future?
2008-05-22 13:19 < chug> uhh like 2.5?
2008-05-22 13:19 < Aqwis> pfft
2008-05-22 13:19 < Gracenotes> 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters
2008-05-22 13:20 < chug> i was close
2008-05-22 13:20 < Gracenotes> thankyougooglecalculator
2008-05-22 13:20 < Sfan00> haza-w: Biethanol is a sink
2008-05-22 13:20 < Aqwis> 2.70$ is cheap then.
2008-05-22 13:20 < Gracenotes> haza-w`: the only problem with that is then people won't eat :)
2008-05-22 13:20 < chug> Gracenotes: rite
2008-05-22 13:20 < Sfan00> Of course the US is getting used to hi gas prices
2008-05-22 13:20 < Sfan00> when they are still lower than the European norm
2008-05-22 13:20 < Gracenotes> Poor countries sell us cash crops; we sell them food.
2008-05-22 13:21 < haza-w`> Gracenotes: Well, no-one ever seemed to complain about that problem before. I'm sure they won't mind if we exacerbate the problem, either.
2008-05-22 13:21 < Gracenotes> if we stop selling them food (or stop demanding cash crops), it's not too good for them
2008-05-22 13:21 < Sfan00> Gracenotes: Yeah..
2008-05-22 13:21 < Sfan00> And the systems rigged
2008-05-22 13:21 < Gracenotes> of course, the question is why they can't just grow their own food, but Western countries discovered long ago that wasn't profitable :)
2008-05-22 13:21 < Sfan00> The food costs more than the cash crop generates
2008-05-22 13:22 < Sfan00> America could loose a lot of farm production and still feed itself sensibly
2008-05-22 13:22 < Gracenotes> sensibly? you mean no 2-liter soda bottles? D:
2008-05-22 13:22 < Sfan00> The Oil Crisis however might mean Airlines implementing stout-ist policy...
2008-05-22 13:23 < Sfan00> And charging fat people more :(
2008-05-22 13:23 < Gracenotes> lol
2008-05-22 13:24 < Gracenotes> does Britain have any sort of anti-genetic discrimination bill?
2008-05-22 13:24 < Sfan00> Gracenotes: Not that I am aware of , but...
2008-05-22 13:33 < Lycurgus> it doesn't make sense there
2008-05-22 13:33 < Lycurgus> they have universal state paid health care
2008-05-22 13:33 < gwern> blum blum shub!
2008-05-22 13:34 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Of course your SoIP failed. You haven't filed the proper Request for Comments yet.
2008-05-22 13:34 < Lycurgus> so that in fact the british health system would be encourage to obtain preventitive info and act on it
2008-05-22 13:34 < Lycurgus> *encouraged
2008-05-22 13:35 < Sfan00> Lycurgus: The approach in the UK would be to 'label' problem patients and discriminate on 'best value'
2008-05-22 13:35 < Lycurgus> (in order to save money as well as improve public health)
2008-05-22 13:35 < Sfan00> Lycurgus: The NHS saves money but not treating people ;)
2008-05-22 13:35 < quanticle> Lycurgus: As Sfan00 said, they can't deny, but they can delay.
2008-05-22 13:36 < Sfan00> Sometimes critically
2008-05-22 13:36 < Sfan00> Although waiting lists are coming down
2008-05-22 13:36 < Lycurgus> it would be entirely reasonable for the NHS to advise people with known genetic risks that if they didn't take appropriate measures they were on their own
2008-05-22 13:37 < Lycurgus> but the present NHS wouldn't do that
2008-05-22 13:38 < Gracenotes> quanticle: maybe in 10 and a half months...
2008-05-22 13:38 < quanticle> Sfan00: I wouldn't mind if airlines charged fat people more. In fact, some already do. If you're above a certain weight, I think you have to pay for two seats.
2008-05-22 13:38 < Gracenotes> quanticle: but do you actually get two seats?
2008-05-22 13:39 < Lycurgus> yes
2008-05-22 13:39 < Lycurgus> you get two seats
2008-05-22 13:39 < Lycurgus> which is what's required
2008-05-22 13:39 < quanticle> Gracenotes: Yes. You actually get two seats since you can't fit in one.
2008-05-22 13:40 < quanticle> Gracenotes: People have a relatively fixed density, so volume increase proportionally with mass.
2008-05-22 13:41 < Gracenotes> yes. on the other hand mass tends to be allotted differently in different individuals
2008-05-22 13:41 < Gracenotes> some one with more apically oriented mass will likely not need two seats (but will probably need an aisle seat =D)
2008-05-22 13:42 < Lycurgus> the rule doesn't get applied typically to anyone with a BMI < 40
2008-05-22 13:42 < Lycurgus> if you're over 350 your beyond the capacity of a normal coach seat
2008-05-22 13:43 < Lycurgus> *you're
2008-05-22 13:43 < chug> lol fat people

2008-05-22 13:44 < quanticle> chug: Moobs? I mean, really? Couldn't you have been a little bit original and called him mitts?
2008-05-22 13:45 < chug> wtf is mitts?
2008-05-22 13:45 * Sfan00 chuckles
2008-05-22 13:46 < quanticle> Sfan00 gets it.
2008-05-22 13:46 < chug> well anyway if you saw him you'd call him "moobs" too
2008-05-22 13:46 < chug> cuz he's got big old man boobs
2008-05-22 13:47 < quanticle> chug: No, I'm pretty sure I'd call him mitts for that very reason.
2008-05-22 13:47 < quanticle> Or, mits, rather.
2008-05-22 13:47 < chug> that doesn't even make sense. He's to fat to play baseball.
2008-05-22 13:47 < chug> duh
2008-05-22 13:47 < Sfan00> He goes shopping in M&S?
2008-05-22 13:47 < bbot> chug: Lovely webcomic. Now get out.
2008-05-22 13:47 < Gracenotes> quanticle: i getses it
2008-05-22 13:47 < chug> lolol we should make a comic about IRC chant rooms next
2008-05-22 13:48 < quanticle> chug: Think about it. Look at the second spelling: "mits".
2008-05-22 13:48 < quanticle> chug: Nope. That'd be a horrible idea..
2008-05-22 13:48 < Gracenotes> chug: main character = Anna

2008-05-22 13:49 < chug> in the first pannel me and shadow are all "baa ram you" or etc, and then in the second panel Dorkwinkle's all "what are you doing" and then in the third panel Shadow shoots him and says "You're banned from this chant room"

2008-05-22 13:51 < Broooooooce> DOH!
2008-05-22 13:51 < Gracenotes> I wonder the sort of architecture for which a foxtrot would suffice
2008-05-22 13:52 < Broooooooce> can't really think of a style I'd match with breakdancing then, perhaps American Foursquare makes me want to do the ham bone?
2008-05-22 13:52 < Gracenotes> or Crank Dat <_<
2008-05-22 13:52 < Broooooooce> dog trot cabins match in name, but not in spirit...

2008-05-22 14:19 < quanticle> SNORING: 5000 pounds = 10,000 dollars. That's hardly something to sneeze at.
