2008-04-15 00:45 < Gambit> ;)
2008-04-15 00:46 < Fennec> Gambit: hmm, maybe.
2008-04-15 00:46 < Gambit> :D
2008-04-15 00:46 < Fennec> I'll probably fix it up on the train to work tomorrow actually though
2008-04-15 00:46 * Gambit pats Tillie
2008-04-15 00:47 < Mark_Ryan> wow, those wikia stats are pretty

2008-04-15 01:13 < ggreer> people like corona with lime, but what about corona with.... strawberry?!
2008-04-15 01:14 < Lubaf> ggreer: How about corona with plutonium?
2008-04-15 01:14 < ggreer> that would give you heavy metal poisoning
2008-04-15 01:22 < bumm13> hiya ggreer
2008-04-15 01:22 < ggreer> yo
2008-04-15 01:22 < bumm13> I finally got my truck back from being fixed \o/
2008-04-15 01:22 < ggreer> what was wrong with it?
2008-04-15 01:23 < bumm13> nothing major, just needed a new alternator
2008-04-15 01:23 < ggreer> oh
2008-04-15 01:23 * bumm13 sucks at anything car-related and makes other people install parts for him
2008-04-15 01:23 < bumm13> (for $)
2008-04-15 01:24 < ggreer> an alternator wouldn't be too bad. if you've changed oil in a car before it wouldn't take too long
2008-04-15 01:24 < ggreer> well, most cars that is
2008-04-15 01:32 < Ceiling_Cat> evening folks
2008-04-15 01:32 < MZMcBride> Evening.
2008-04-15 01:33 < bumm13> howdy
2008-04-15 01:33 * Ceiling_Cat picks up White_Cat, throws him at bumm13
2008-04-15 01:34 < Ceiling_Cat> MAOR KATZ!
2008-04-15 01:34 < Ceiling_Cat> This channel has too little pussy
2008-04-15 01:34 < Ceiling_Cat> :P
2008-04-15 01:34 < Warpath> O_O
2008-04-15 01:38 < denelson83> ping
2008-04-15 01:40 < denelson83> Ah, I see every letter of the alphabet is now represented
2008-04-15 01:40 < denelson83> was represented
2008-04-15 01:41 < findlay> what's intersection of subcultures that chats on freenode and edits wikipedia?
2008-04-15 01:42 < Ceiling_Cat> findlay - lots of people chat in here about wikipedia because this is, for want of a better word, the "official" channel
2008-04-15 01:42 < findlay> Ceiling_Cat: interesting
2008-04-15 01:43 < findlay> I guess I'm just curious as to what a 'wikipedia editor' demographic might include :)
2008-04-15 01:43 < denelson83> White male, age 20 to 30
2008-04-15 01:44 < denelson83> smart but lazy
2008-04-15 01:44 < OverlordQ> qft
2008-04-15 01:44 < findlay> the most discriminated against demographic :)
2008-04-15 01:44 < denelson83> sometimes drinks a lot while editing
2008-04-15 01:44 < Warpath> ahh actually 12 to 29
2008-04-15 01:44 < Ceiling_Cat> white male from a western country
2008-04-15 01:45 < Ceiling_Cat> age 12-25, high school or college educated
2008-04-15 01:45 < Ceiling_Cat> No job
2008-04-15 01:45 < findlay> 12-year-old high school students are somewhat remarkable :)
2008-04-15 01:45 < denelson83> fuck that, how 'bout 12-year-old university grads?
2008-04-15 01:45 < Warpath> XD
2008-04-15 01:46 < denelson83> Or, failing that, 5-year-old mothers from Peru
2008-04-15 01:46 * Ceiling_Cat picks up another cat, hurls said pussy at denelson83
2008-04-15 01:46 < Warpath> by the time they are 18, they are millionaires :p
2008-04-15 01:46 < denelson83> millionaires who attend Bilderberg
2008-04-15 01:47 < denelson83> and find new ways to fuck us in the ass
2008-04-15 01:47 < Warpath> O_o
2008-04-15 01:50 < nokmar> 12 year old high school students are remarkable?
2008-04-15 01:58 < Sponge> Where's the cut, fold, and glue ceiling cat image? I finally got access to a color laser printer. :)
2008-04-15 01:59 < Mike_H> nokmar: remarkable for not having lives
2008-04-15 02:02 < nokmar> =P
2008-04-15 02:03 < nokmar> not having a life isn't all that remarkable on IRC, though
2008-04-15 02:09 < Sponge> holy &^%$ demonoid.com rose from the dead?

2008-04-15 02:19 < Sponge> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8098683859434221553 When did this air on american tv I wonder...
2008-04-15 02:27 < Mike2> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kan13st
2008-04-15 02:28 < denelson83> Any Brits here?
2008-04-15 02:31 < denelson83> Guess not
2008-04-15 02:31 < Lycurgus> well I can be rather affected at times
2008-04-15 02:32 < denelson83> No, Lycurgus, you're not a Brit
2008-04-15 02:32 < mavhc> yes
2008-04-15 02:32 < denelson83> Complete this anecdote:
2008-04-15 02:33 < denelson83> "Some say that he can pull tissue paper out of his ear, and that he has 2-yard-long claws."
2008-04-15 02:33 < mavhc> no
2008-04-15 02:33 < Lycurgus> bravo
2008-04-15 02:33 * Lady_Aleena wonders is mavhc is a bit.
2008-04-15 02:34 < denelson83> s/is mavhc/if mavhc/
2008-04-15 02:34 < nokmar> you missed one.
2008-04-15 02:35 < Lady_Aleena> I think that my really old keyboard is making me make typing mistakes to get me to buy a new one.
2008-04-15 02:35 < mavhc> 'tis true, I doth verily speakth the Queen's English
2008-04-15 02:35 < denelson83> Who would that anecdote be referring to?
2008-04-15 02:35 * Lady_Aleena now knows that mavhc is not a bit.
2008-04-15 02:35 < mavhc> doesn't my .com hostname give it away?
2008-04-15 02:36 < denelson83> NTL... That's definitely UK
2008-04-15 02:36 < mavhc> damn
2008-04-15 02:36 < denelson83> Well, actually, GB
2008-04-15 02:36 < Lady_Aleena> mavhc: .com hostname?
2008-04-15 02:36 < mavhc> off to work
2008-04-15 02:49 * denelson83 can't think of anything better to do, so he pings The359
2008-04-15 02:57 < OverlordQ> !admin [[WP:AIV]] Grawp-like malicious hagger pagemoves
2008-04-15 03:00 < denelson83> blocked
2008-04-15 03:05 < gomez_> hello good people of the world
2008-04-15 03:05 < denelson83> Hello, Mr. Marshmallow Peep
2008-04-15 03:05 < gomez_> hehe
2008-04-15 03:06 < gomez_> i'm actually a long time irc user back in the early efnet days, not that it makes any difference, but i've run into an issue where an admin has claimed i'm a sock puppet, which i'm in fact not.
2008-04-15 03:07 < denelson83> Lemme guess, a sockpuppet of Golbez?
2008-04-15 03:07 < gomez_> actually good guess, but no
2008-04-15 03:07 < denelson83> di-idn't think so
2008-04-15 03:08 < gomez_> the issue arose with quite possibly good intent.. i must say, a crafty user who knows anything about networking could have access to an almost infinte of ip addresses, but quite honestly i believe in the fair use and honest approach to the wikipedia system.
2008-04-15 03:09 < denelson83> infinite number
2008-04-15 03:09 < denelson83> Unfortunately, all the big corps frown on fair use
2008-04-15 03:09 < gomez_> i might have appeared dogmatic in my approach toward a particular article, but i'm certainly no sock puppet.
2008-04-15 03:09 < denelson83> Your Wikiname?
2008-04-15 03:10 < gomez_> yes i completely agree, deleson about the big corps.
2008-04-15 03:10 < denelson83> Who's deleson?
2008-04-15 03:10 < gomez_> rafaelsfingers
2008-04-15 03:10 < gomez_> sorry its late
2008-04-15 03:10 < gomez_> denelson83
2008-04-15 03:10 < denelson83> that's better
2008-04-15 03:10 < denelson83> You might try tab-completing
2008-04-15 03:10 < gomez_> i wont make the mistake again
2008-04-15 03:10 < gomez_> yes, i'll keep that in mind
2008-04-15 03:11 < denelson83> Your wikiname?
2008-04-15 03:11 < gomez_> not to embellish my situation anymore then need be, but i came to the internet with a completely anarchist, free use.
2008-04-15 03:11 < OverlordQ> [[User:rafaelsfingers]] i think he said
2008-04-15 03:11 < gomez_> oh yes my wikiname is rafaelsfingers.
2008-04-15 03:11 < denelson83> oh, oh
2008-04-15 03:12 < denelson83> I thought you were referring to your typing
2008-04-15 03:12 < gomez_> fingers make conjure up the imagery of a puppet, but rest assured it was in the vain of the fingers representing who i am
2008-04-15 03:12 < gomez_> hehe
2008-04-15 03:13 < gomez_> i was thinking along the lines of 10,000 maniacs
2008-04-15 03:13 < denelson83> You are unblocked; edit at will
2008-04-15 03:13 < gomez_> (its late)
2008-04-15 03:13 < gomez_> thank you so much denelson
2008-04-15 03:13 < denelson83> yw
2008-04-15 03:13 < nokmar> den-tab
2008-04-15 03:13 < gomez_> (sweats at the prospect of mispelling)
2008-04-15 03:13 < gomez_> denelson83
2008-04-15 03:14 < denelson83> there 'ya go
2008-04-15 03:14 < nokmar> [00:10] <gomez_> i wont make the mistake again
2008-04-15 03:14 < nokmar> [00:10] <gomez_> yes, i'll keep that in mind
2008-04-15 03:14 < nokmar> =P
2008-04-15 03:14 < denelson83> lol
2008-04-15 03:14 < denelson83> XD
2008-04-15 03:14 < gomez_> i've actually almost never reached my limit of 3 edits per day, i hope that was never an issue
2008-04-15 03:14 < denelson83> Personal or imposed limit?
2008-04-15 03:14 < gomez_> a quite sincere imposed limit i might say
2008-04-15 03:15 < gomez_> er 3 reverts
2008-04-15 03:15 < denelson83> Ah, three-revert rule
2008-04-15 03:16 < dpotte1> I wish to do the following: {{#if: condition| <onlyinclude> I only want to see this, not the rest of the article </onlyinclude>|}} lots of junk out here won't be seen if condition is true.
2008-04-15 03:16 < gomez_> it is difficult enough trying to be fruitful on iphone when slaving away in my corporate hellhole
2008-04-15 03:16 < dpotte1> But I find that <onlyinclude> is taking precedence over the #if, and it doesn't matter whether or not the condition is true. Recommendations?
2008-04-15 03:16 < gomez_> well perhaps others have more pressing needs so i'll be quiet now
2008-04-15 03:17 < denelson83> Take it to Bugzilla
2008-04-15 03:17 < gomez_> it's so nice to revisit the irc network again, tho
2008-04-15 03:17 < denelson83> <-- has IRCed for years
2008-04-15 03:17 < gomez_> i have many stories to tell if anyone is interested feel free to /msg me
2008-04-15 03:17 < gomez_> i was just thinking it's almost the 20th anniversary of irc.
2008-04-15 03:18 < denelson83> IRC was Finnish-ed before it was started ;)
2008-04-15 03:18 < gomez_> (i think im talking too much, so i'll be quiet)
2008-04-15 03:18 < denelson83> you don't have to
2008-04-15 03:18 < gomez_> oh thanks denelson83
2008-04-15 03:22 < gomez_> (sorry, in another window)
2008-04-15 03:26 < gomez_> should there be a new status on my talk page per our conversation today, denelson83
2008-04-15 03:26 < gomez_> or was my account just edited in an non obvious manner
2008-04-15 03:26 < denelson83> not really necessary
2008-04-15 03:26 < gomez_> (sorry, i am kind of new)
2008-04-15 03:26 < denelson83> IC that
2008-04-15 03:28 < denelson83> Make sure you discuss first
2008-04-15 03:28 < gomez_> 07:12, 15 April 2008 Denelson83
2008-04-15 03:28 < gomez_> i see that, thanks again
2008-04-15 03:29 < gomez_> yes, the company i work for isn't too welcoming of outside intranet discussions, i dont know if i should upgrade from my iphone to a more wiki friendly device. the asus eee works great but my boss is such a bloody hawk,
2008-04-15 03:32 < gomez_> ping?
2008-04-15 03:32 < denelson83> pong!
2008-04-15 03:32 < gomez_> woot!
2008-04-15 03:32 < denelson83> [snarf]
2008-04-15 03:32 < gomez_> hhehe
2008-04-15 03:33 < denelson83> Twenty Questions: I'm thinking of a THING...

2008-04-15 03:34 < denelson83> [19] YES
2008-04-15 03:35 < gomez_> a utilitarian thing?
2008-04-15 03:35 < denelson83> [18] no
2008-04-15 03:35 < gomez_> kind if vague of me
2008-04-15 03:35 < gomez_> of

2008-04-15 03:38 < denelson83> [16] NO
2008-04-15 03:38 < nokmar> these are actually good questions
2008-04-15 03:39 < gomez_> thanks, i rarely have the opportunity to use my brain for my own use
2008-04-15 03:39 < bumm13> oh, it's this 20 questions stuff again :P
2008-04-15 03:40 < gomez_> i'll make a giant leap. a technology related thing?
2008-04-15 03:40 < denelson83> [15] NO

2008-04-15 03:44 < gomez_> hrm
2008-04-15 03:44 < bumm13> Leave It to Beavel
2008-04-15 03:45 < gomez_> is the thing metal?
2008-04-15 03:45 < denelson83> [14] YES, sometimes
2008-04-15 03:45 < gomez_> ooooh
2008-04-15 03:46 < gomez_> i was going to say ta3k laugh
2008-04-15 03:49 < gomez_> ok
2008-04-15 03:50 < gomez_> used for entertainment?
2008-04-15 03:50 < denelson83> [13] NO, not integrally
2008-04-15 03:51 < gomez_> my s/o called me a geek and walked away
2008-04-15 03:51 < denelson83> hehe
2008-04-15 03:54 < gomez_> is it under 100 pounds?
2008-04-15 03:54 < denelson83> [14] YES, sometimes
2008-04-15 03:55 < theINC> sigh, conservapedia
2008-04-15 03:57 < gomez_> is it round?
2008-04-15 03:57 < gomez_> oops he left, i win :D
2008-04-15 03:57 < bumm13> ?
2008-04-15 03:58 < gomez_> denelson83
2008-04-15 03:58 < gomez_> either that or i repeated myself in some stupid fashion'
2008-04-15 03:58 < gomez_> (going to go check on s/o)
2008-04-15 03:58 < gomez_> bleh
2008-04-15 03:58 < gomez_> someone take over for me
2008-04-15 04:02 < bumm13> :x
2008-04-15 04:04 < AdamBishop> is it bigger than a breadbox?
2008-04-15 04:12 < Blu_Aardvark> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigotry#Forms_of_Bigotry - Should Scientology be listed there? While I'm mildly amused by that, I don't think it quite appropriate
2008-04-15 04:12 < bumm13> haha
2008-04-15 04:15 < Aqwis> can anything be objectively defined to be "bigotry"?
2008-04-15 04:15 < Blu_Aardvark> Indeed, I was wondering the same. The entire subsection "forms of bigotry" seems quite inappropriate
2008-04-15 04:16 < Aqwis> let's remove it!
2008-04-15 04:16 < Blu_Aardvark> I mean, some of those philosophies clearly should be linked from that article. But I don't think that manner is the best way of doing so
2008-04-15 04:16 < Aqwis> gone.
2008-04-15 04:16 < Blu_Aardvark> Ah, indeed.
2008-04-15 04:16 < Blu_Aardvark> That fixes that problem
2008-04-15 04:16 < Aqwis> yes.
2008-04-15 04:19 < Lycurgus> i felt bigoted toward arabs a moment ago when given a travel advisory not to show the soles of your shoes in arab countries
2008-04-15 04:19 < Lycurgus> "what a bunch of stupid assholes" is what I thought.
2008-04-15 04:23 < Lycurgus> so Ceiling_Cat is The Raul? The one who decides FA and stuff?
2008-04-15 04:24 < Aqwis> well, so says his hostname
2008-04-15 04:29 < theINC> http://www.conservapedia.com/Liberal lols
2008-04-15 04:29 < theINC> Support for gun control - apparently a liberal only thing
2008-04-15 04:29 < theINC> As if that doesn't support the Bible Belt Hick Redneck theory
2008-04-15 04:31 < Blu_Aardvark> Conservapedia is a riot. They make Fox News look good.
2008-04-15 04:31 < theINC> They often cite Fox News, which is sad
2008-04-15 04:31 * Blu_Aardvark does share conservative politics, but prefers his bullshit cut short.
2008-04-15 04:32 < theINC> Government-rationed and taxpayer-funded medical care, such as Universal Health Care - rofl, i don't understand why anyone WOULDN'T want Universal Health Care
2008-04-15 04:32 < theINC> I live in Australia, so I have that luxury, and though free healthcare isn't the best it's better than nothing!
2008-04-15 04:32 < Lycurgus> anybody in channel consider themselves conservative?
2008-04-15 04:33 < theINC> Lycurgus: I thought Wikipedia had a gross liberal bias ;)
2008-04-15 04:33 < Blu_Aardvark> I'm a conservative-leaning libertarian. Which means I'm a Ron Paul supporter, in essense
2008-04-15 04:33 < Aqwis> reality has a liberal bias
2008-04-15 04:33 < Aqwis> oh my god, not more of you, Blu_Aardvark
2008-04-15 04:33 < theINC> Teaching "comprehensive" sex-ed programs instead of abstinence-only programs. - there, they just said it, that prretty much their sex-ed programs are DON'T DO IT AT ALL IF YOU DO YOU WILL GET AIDS AND PREGNANT AND DIE
2008-04-15 04:33 < Aqwis> hopefully you're not an objectivist
2008-04-15 04:33 < theINC> aqwis, it's true
2008-04-15 04:34 < Blu_Aardvark> I'm not familiar with that philosophy, so I can't say for sure. Probably not
2008-04-15 04:34 < Lycurgus> theINC: I didn't.
2008-04-15 04:34 < theINC> Lycurgus: according to conservapedia we do.
2008-04-15 04:35 < Lycurgus> but then in my lexicon 'liberal' = 'bourgeois/moderate conservative' since it's colored by the fact I live in the US.
2008-04-15 04:37 < Lycurgus> corresponding to center right parties in the EU I suppose
2008-04-15 04:37 < theINC> yeah
2008-04-15 04:37 < theINC> I live in australia, probably a little more left-wing than America but not that different
2008-04-15 04:39 < Lycurgus> it will be interesting to see how the complete lack of a real left in the US for now what is going on to a second generation will play itself out
2008-04-15 04:39 < Lycurgus> it's a historical contradiction with manifold aspects.
2008-04-15 04:39 < Aqwis> wouldn't Kucinich and Gravel be "real left"
2008-04-15 04:40 < Lycurgus> not by my standard.
2008-04-15 04:40 < Aqwis> *shrug*
2008-04-15 04:41 < Lycurgus> Gravel is especially laughable as a proposed authentic left
2008-04-15 04:42 < Lycurgus> there are authentic left parties (e.g. the SEP) but the are well and truly characterized as "fringe"
2008-04-15 04:42 < Lycurgus> *they
2008-04-15 04:50 < Ceiling_Cat> oh shit
2008-04-15 04:50 < Ceiling_Cat> a celeb sex tape apparently just turned up
2008-04-15 04:50 < Ceiling_Cat> guess who's on it?
2008-04-15 04:50 < DannyLilithborne> Jon Stewart?
2008-04-15 04:50 < Aqwis> jimbo wales?
2008-04-15 04:50 < Aqwis> you?
2008-04-15 04:50 < The359> Natalie Portman
2008-04-15 04:50 < Ceiling_Cat> Marilyn Monroe
2008-04-15 04:50 * The359 prays
2008-04-15 04:50 < Mike_H> Tony Orlando doesn't have a sex tape
2008-04-15 04:50 < The359> ...
2008-04-15 04:51 < Ceiling_Cat> http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/webscout/2008/04/how-long-till-m.html
2008-04-15 04:51 < DannyLilithborne> yes. dot dot dot is an appropriate reaction
2008-04-15 04:51 < Ceiling_Cat> In a strange and lurid tale more befitting one of those Hollywood movies that fictionalize 1950s Hollywood than something that actually happened, the New York Post is reporting that a 15-minute sex-reel starring Marilyn Monroe not only exists, but was just sold to a New York collector for $1.5M. It gets weirder: the NYC businessman who now owns the footage bought it from the son of a dead FBI informant. And sorry, you're not going to get to s
2008-04-15 04:51 < Aqwis> watch it
2008-04-15 04:51 < Aqwis> :|
2008-04-15 04:51 < The359> so if we can't see it
2008-04-15 04:51 < The359> why the fuck do we care
2008-04-15 04:51 < The359> who wants to beat it to a dead woman anyway
2008-04-15 04:52 < Ceiling_Cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Monroe#Appearance_in_Sex_Tape
2008-04-15 04:53 < theINC> and how many years ago did she die
2008-04-15 04:53 < Ceiling_Cat> 46
2008-04-15 04:53 < DannyLilithborne> I'd feel bad wanking it to Marilyn Monroe
2008-04-15 04:53 < theINC> as would i
2008-04-15 04:53 < Ceiling_Cat> she's be 81 today
2008-04-15 04:53 < DannyLilithborne> unlike most celebs I actually feel bad for her
2008-04-15 04:53 < theINC> plus it's silent and black and white
2008-04-15 04:54 < Ceiling_Cat> just wait until the lincoln sex tapes show up
2008-04-15 04:54 < Ceiling_Cat> that'll show you all
2008-04-15 04:54 < DannyLilithborne> ...
2008-04-15 04:54 < Ceiling_Cat> he wasn't called the illinious rail splitter for nothing
2008-04-15 04:54 < DannyLilithborne> i don't think i can ever get an erection again.
2008-04-15 04:54 < DannyLilithborne> ever
2008-04-15 04:55 < The359> how about this, DannyLilithborne
2008-04-15 04:55 < The359> Babe Ruth sex tape
2008-04-15 04:55 < theINC> ceiling_cat: all you can see is a stovepipe hat moving up and down
2008-04-15 04:55 < The359> ...
2008-04-15 04:55 * The359 just had a bad thought about the use of a slave...
2008-04-15 04:56 < The359> Lincoln could turn out like Max Mosley
2008-04-15 04:56 * Ceiling_Cat remembers a truely horribly awful joke
2008-04-15 04:57 < Ceiling_Cat> ...thanks theINC
2008-04-15 04:57 < theINC> hahaha
2008-04-15 04:57 < theINC> no promblem
2008-04-15 04:57 < Ceiling_Cat> What is white and bobs up and down in a baby's crib?
2008-04-15 04:57 < theINC> what is it?
2008-04-15 04:58 < Ceiling_Cat> Answer: N crqbcuvyr'f nff (Rot13)
2008-04-15 04:58 < Ceiling_Cat> for the faint of heart
2008-04-15 04:58 < theINC> i wonder if anyone has learnt to translate rot13 without a translator
2008-04-15 04:58 < theINC> hahahah it's not for the phaint of heart
2008-04-15 04:59 < The359> Rot13?
2008-04-15 04:59 < DannyLilithborne> ew.
2008-04-15 04:59 < Riffage> you could at least spell it right ;P
2008-04-15 04:59 < Ceiling_Cat> The359 - rot13 is a alphabetic substition where all letters are rotated 13 spaces, so a because n, b becomes o, c becomes p, etc
2008-04-15 05:00 < Ceiling_Cat> it used for posting things that people might not want to see like movie spoilers and the punch lines to bad jokes
2008-04-15 05:01 < The359> ok

2008-04-15 08:30 < Leo_Johannes> hi, I have a question
2008-04-15 08:30 < Leo_Johannes> what is the name of commonś IRC channel?
2008-04-15 08:30 < bumm13> #wikimedia-commons , I think
2008-04-15 08:30 < bumm13> yep
2008-04-15 08:31 < Leo_Johannes> thank you, bumm13
2008-04-15 08:31 < bumm13> no problem :)
2008-04-15 08:31 < bumm13> d'oh
2008-04-15 09:34 < Tu13es> does this read just like an advertisement for anyone else? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciena_Corporation
2008-04-15 09:35 < Tu13es> if this isn't the right place to discuss it, my apologies
2008-04-15 09:35 < Tu13es> I've not done enough editing to just go and flag it as such if that's what I should do
2008-04-15 09:36 < Mudkip> Tu13es: it certainly doesn't look NPOV, and does read like an advertisement from what I can gather from a quick scan over it
2008-04-15 09:38 < Tu13es> heh, I'm actually thinking of applying there, but I saw the article and thought it seemed a bit fishy
2008-04-15 09:39 < Working_Cat> Lucifer_Cat!!
2008-04-15 09:41 < Working_Cat> meow!
2008-04-15 09:49 < Working_Cat> how important is it that a featured article have those [1] [2] kind of references, and not just a bunch listed at the end?
2008-04-15 09:50 < Aqwis> there are FAs without inline citations but you're probably not going to get an article featured these days without them
2008-04-15 09:50 * Fennec is working on getting those silly stats working btw fyi :P
2008-04-15 09:58 < Working_Cat> Aqwis: ahh thanks. cuz i just saw one without inline citations.
2008-04-15 09:58 < Mike_H> Okay
2008-04-15 09:58 < Mike_H> so
2008-04-15 09:58 < Mike_H> I'm totally addicted to the show Pageant Place

2008-04-15 09:59 < Mike_H> Is HumbertHumbert stupid or just asking too many questions? 47.9% lines contained a question!
2008-04-15 09:59 < Mike_H> stupid.

2008-04-15 10:00 < Mike_H> Fennec: Can you update Wikinews too please?
2008-04-15 10:00 < Mike_H> thanks
2008-04-15 10:00 < Cyrius> why the hell did it have to pick that quote for me?

2008-04-15 10:00 < Aqwis> i've feell from 22nd place to outside the the "didn't make it to the top" list :p'
2008-04-15 10:00 < Cyrius> fennec, your script hates me
2008-04-15 10:00 < Fennec> Cyrius: oh?
2008-04-15 10:01 < Cyrius> Fennec: look at the random quote it picked for me =)
2008-04-15 10:01 < Fennec> "I am Cyrius Cat, this is cyrius channel" <-- rockin'!
2008-04-15 10:01 < Cyrius> I knew I shouldn't have said it =)
2008-04-15 10:01 < Working_Cat> "I am Cyrius Cat, this is cyrius channel"
2008-04-15 10:01 < Working_Cat> lol
2008-04-15 10:01 < Mike_H> Fennec: Someone in #wikinews was wondering when the stats would be updated
2008-04-15 10:02 < Fennec> anyway. I still need to get the upload happening automatically, but the statsbuilding is working.
2008-04-15 10:02 < JessicaTaylor> Night night everyone, bye
2008-04-15 10:02 < Working_Cat> bbye jess
2008-04-15 10:02 * Cyrius wonders how humberthumbert managed to appear in the "not the top" list
2008-04-15 10:02 < Working_Cat> Fennec: what did you use?
2008-04-15 10:02 < Fennec> that involves annoying SSH setup and if I get it wrong, there's a tendency for my host to try and ban my IP from my own server so :P
2008-04-15 10:02 < Cyrius> must be a talkative idiot
2008-04-15 10:02 < Fennec> Working_Cat: pisg. and rrdtool, but that part's down.
2008-04-15 10:03 < Working_Cat> emma didn't know that much either. 35.8% of his/her lines were questions.
2008-04-15 10:03 < Working_Cat> bumm13 is a very aggressive person. He/She attacked others 5 times.
2008-04-15 10:03 < bumm13> :D
2008-04-15 10:03 < Working_Cat> Lucifer_Cat can't control his/her aggressions, either. He/She picked on others 4 times.
2008-04-15 10:04 < Mike_H> Another lonely one was Mike_H, who managed to hit 18 times.
2008-04-15 10:04 < Working_Cat> heh, its in the nick, aint it Lucifer_Cat

2008-04-15 10:06 < Cyrius> Mike_H: armored blowfish
2008-04-15 10:06 < Mike_H> clearly you're not working that much, cat.
2008-04-15 10:07 < Cyrius> was complaining in mass volume about oversight policy last week
2008-04-15 10:07 < Working_Cat> Mike_H: lo. also, treepie was some persistent user.
2008-04-15 10:07 < Working_Cat> lol rather
2008-04-15 10:07 < Cyrius> was it armored or armed?

2008-04-15 10:08 < Working_Cat> bumm13 is either insane or just a fair op, kicking a total of 7 people!
2008-04-15 10:08 < Working_Cat> bumm13's faithful follower, Pilotguy, kicked about 6 people.
2008-04-15 10:08 < Cyrius> treepie/a. blowfish was saying she was on a hunger strike against WMF oversight policy
2008-04-15 10:08 < Mike_H> Cyrius: oh, whatever
2008-04-15 10:08 < Working_Cat> Lucifer_Cat is #2, Working_Cat is #6

2008-04-15 10:09 < bumm13> that's beyond retarded
2008-04-15 10:09 < Mike_H> bumm13: Whatever gets the dumb out of the gene pool
2008-04-15 10:09 < bumm13> heh
2008-04-15 10:09 < nsh> what's a nice word between "propagation", "dissemination" and "publication"?
2008-04-15 10:09 < Working_Cat> Ceiling_Cat always lets us know what he/she's doing: 341 actions!
2008-04-15 10:09 < Working_Cat> For example, like this:
2008-04-15 10:09 < Working_Cat> * Ceiling_Cat latches onto kibble
2008-04-15 10:10 < Working_Cat> rofl at that
2008-04-15 10:10 < nsh> meaning, "spreading a document about more"
2008-04-15 10:10 < Working_Cat> nsh: viral marketing.
2008-04-15 10:10 < Mike_H> Cyrius: A hunger strike? srs?
2008-04-15 10:10 < nsh> that's not a word, foo
2008-04-15 10:10 < Cyrius> Mike_H: that is what was stated
2008-04-15 10:11 < Cyrius> and there were posts on some WP criticism site I had never heard of
2008-04-15 10:11 < Mike_H> Cyrius: Did anyone tell him or her that nobody gives a shit about them and that they were going to die?
2008-04-15 10:11 < Cyrius> pretty much
2008-04-15 10:11 < nsh> ah, circulation
2008-04-15 10:11 < Mike_H> Cyrius: OH!
2008-04-15 10:11 < Mike_H> I know who you're talking about
2008-04-15 10:11 < Working_Cat> SynergeticMag talks to him/herself a lot. He/She wrote over 5 lines in a row 35 times!
2008-04-15 10:11 < Working_Cat> Another lonely one was Mike_H, who managed to hit 18 times.

2008-04-15 10:11 < Mike_H> I don't know you
2008-04-15 10:11 < Working_Cat> and i thought *I* was the one going on rants.
2008-04-15 10:11 < Cyrius> that's the one
2008-04-15 10:11 < Mike_H> Cyrius: She's a bit
2008-04-15 10:11 < Mike_H> um
2008-04-15 10:11 < Mike_H> how can I say it nicest.
2008-04-15 10:11 < Cyrius> insane?
2008-04-15 10:12 < Mike_H> I was gonna go with "touched."

2008-04-15 10:12 < Cyrius> nsh: is that better or worse than diggtarded?
2008-04-15 10:12 < Mike_H> Cyrius: I mean, it reminded me of that really fat lady
2008-04-15 10:12 < Mike_H> who went on a hunger strike via YouTube
2008-04-15 10:12 < Mike_H> because Sanjaya was on American Idol last year
2008-04-15 10:12 < Cyrius> never heard of that one
2008-04-15 10:12 < Working_Cat> how many people in the top 10 of that list are not ops?
2008-04-15 10:12 < nsh> only by a margin of meh
2008-04-15 10:12 < Cyrius> I think I'm glad
2008-04-15 10:13 < Mike_H> Cyrius: She weighed herself like twice and never posted another video
2008-04-15 10:13 < Mike_H> it was great
2008-04-15 10:13 < Mike_H> Sanjaya was on the show like six weeks
2008-04-15 10:13 < Mike_H> from the start of the videos
2008-04-15 10:13 < Mike_H> One American Idol fan on MySpace claimed to be on a hunger strike until Malakar was voted off. She later admitted that she was canceling her strike, after Sanjaya's stay was longer than expected. In her YouTube video, an advertisement was prominently displayed, causing speculation her hunger strike was really for profit.[28]

2008-04-15 11:23 < SWATJester> sups
2008-04-15 11:27 < zocky> haha, a great argument for veganism: 'Less than 2% of vegans are obese'
2008-04-15 11:28 < zocky> that's like using 'less than 2% darfurians are obese" as an argument for famine
2008-04-15 11:28 < SWATJester> 99% of vegans eat enough ruffage.
2008-04-15 11:29 < SWATJester> conversely, 100% of vegans have stinky smelling poop
2008-04-15 11:29 < Werdna> SWATJester: sauce plz

2008-04-15 11:32 < cimon> hi, anyone around
2008-04-15 11:32 < Working_Cat> cimple cimon, no.
2008-04-15 11:32 < cimon> Working_Cat, I just found a horrible article on wikipedia...
2008-04-15 11:32 < cimon> ONe that keeps screaming at me.
2008-04-15 11:33 < Working_Cat> link
2008-04-15 11:33 < cimon> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLDS
2008-04-15 11:33 < Working_Cat> also, im sure theres thousands of those
2008-04-15 11:33 < cimon> just the two first paragraphs
2008-04-15 11:34 < Working_Cat> un-bold it.
2008-04-15 11:35 < cimon> wilco
2008-04-15 11:36 < Working_Cat> what
2008-04-15 11:36 < Working_Cat> nevermind.
2008-04-15 11:37 < Working_Cat> do you want me to do something about it? or will you take care of it?
2008-04-15 11:37 < Working_Cat> afaik, ure the more experienced one here.
2008-04-15 11:37 < cimon> I took care of it.
2008-04-15 11:40 < Working_Cat> yay. what did you do? reverted it?
2008-04-15 11:41 < Working_Cat> ok i see what you did there. though i'd have merged that one liner into the second paragraph
2008-04-15 11:46 < cimon> I am not goint o touch the content, buth for crying out loud, don't cry out loud.
2008-04-15 11:47 < Working_Cat> lol. well i was just saying that based on the OverlordQ version of the article.
2008-04-15 11:47 < Working_Cat> actually what i was wondering if it was just asking to be reverted or to be corrected.
2008-04-15 11:48 < cimon> I am not going to read that article... just the visual is way way too jarring to survive on wikipedia...
2008-04-15 11:48 < Rinn> Which article?
2008-04-15 11:49 < Working_Cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLDS
2008-04-15 11:49 < Working_Cat> cimon: yeah i got that. i was just looking at a previous version before changing.
2008-04-15 11:53 < cimon> hi GerardM-
2008-04-15 11:54 < cimon> or should I say "Hoi" (don't bite my head off, I ma being in good humour here)
2008-04-15 11:54 < GerardM-> :) hoi cimon
2008-04-15 11:54 < GerardM-> today I have been to an organisation that is a repository of tv material
2008-04-15 11:54 < GerardM-> ... really impressive what they do
2008-04-15 11:54 < Working_Cat> rent it out?
2008-04-15 11:54 < cimon> GerardM-, what is even more impressive is how much classical television has been lost for all time...
2008-04-15 11:55 < GerardM-> a combination of archive and tellign people about the history of television and radio
2008-04-15 11:55 < GerardM-> true . that is why organisations like this one are so cool
2008-04-15 11:55 < GerardM-> http://www.beeldengeluidwiki.nl
2008-04-15 11:58 < GerardM-> I saw a program that I loved to see when I was yooung
2008-04-15 11:58 < GerardM-> Floris
2008-04-15 12:03 < nazgjunk> GerardM-: well that's a classic
2008-04-15 12:04 < GerardM-> it is.. one thing that is nice, if you want a paritcular program, they will digitize it for you (at a reasonable price and at a loss)
2008-04-15 12:07 < GerardM-> .. in a way it helps then give some priority to stuff that people care for
2008-04-15 12:11 < LawrenceWCohen> I can't believe [[Schmear]] was never an article until today
2008-04-15 12:16 < Working_Cat> heh, the boat sank today
2008-04-15 12:23 < Pilotguy> Hello ThatGuyThatShow
2008-04-15 12:29 < zocky> "What nonsense. Inheritance tax is nothing more than the manifestation of envy that many left-wingers hold towards those who have been more successful and wish to leave their children the fruits of their labour."
2008-04-15 12:29 < zocky> i wish more people were farmers
2008-04-15 12:30 < LawrenceWCohen> a quote like that is awe inspiring in it's venom, sadly
2008-04-15 12:30 < zocky> yuppies seem to have trouble understanding that you sometimes have to give something back to where you're taking from
2008-04-15 12:30 < Golbez> the inheritance tax is among the most socialist taxes possible; its proponents outright admit that it's to prevent wealth accumulation.
2008-04-15 12:30 < zocky> Golbez, "admit" is not the right word
