More IRC stuff: New Years' Day 2012

Here to annoy Reddit's r/WikiInAction, more #wikipedia-en IRC logs.

Session Start: Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 2012
Session Ident: #wikipedia-en
[00:00] <darkfalls> TParis: The article is sourced. Just not inline.
[00:00] <Gfoley4> turn to ESPN right now if you want to see something really cool
[00:00] <Pancetta> WOOOO
[00:00] <Pancetta> OWOOOo
[00:00] <Pancetta> WOOOOOOO
[00:01] <TParis> darkfalls: WP:V calls for inline citations.  It's not a strong oppose, but the other articles contribute to the oppose.
[00:02] <darkfalls> TParis: I don't believe the material can be considered something "challenged or likely to be challenged"
 06[00:03] * darkfalls shrugs
[00:03] <kylu> ...and my neighbors are going nuts with the guns and fireworks
[00:04] <lucasoutloud> I wish I had a giant glitter cannon that left a 50 yard trail.
[00:05] <TParis> darkfalls: Honestly, I've got other gripes.  That article doesn't pass [[WP:GNG]] either.
[00:05] <TParis> One of the refs appears to be trivial coverage.
[00:06] <darkfalls> his book is notable
[00:07] <TParis> Notability isnt inherited...
 03[00:07] * notola (~Tom@cpe-76-167-65-211.socal.res.rr.com) has left #wikipedia-en
 15[00:07] * raindrift (~Adium@wikimedia/raindrift) Quit (Quit: Leaving. )
[00:07] <TParis> Were a lot of his books notable?
[00:08] <darkfalls> TParis: [[WP:ARTIST]] #4

[00:08] <TParis> Umm, not sure how #4 applies
[00:09] <darkfalls> his work has significant critical attention
[00:09] <TParis> c maybe?

[00:10] <TParis> Alright, so why haven't those refs been included by an editor seeking an RFA?  That seems basic to me.
[00:10] <Gfoley4> TParis: might want to clear up what article you're talking about. "Road Trip" is a disamb
[00:10] <darkfalls> probably an example of anglo bias tbh, lack of english sources etc.
[00:11] <TParis> Gfoley4: Wow, the capitization of the "t" makes a difference.  Ehh, that doesnt seem right to me
[00:12] <darkfalls> TParis: Yeah I realised that yesterday

[00:12] <darkfalls> I was like wtf, when I saw two different articles that had the same title
[00:13] <TParis> darkfalls: Is that yesterday as in a few minutes ago cause it's midnight on the east coast or yesterday as in like 24 hours ago?
[00:13] <CRRaysHead90> happy new year east coasters!
[00:14] <darkfalls> yesterday meaning any time within 48 hrs of now
[00:14] <darkfalls> considering it's probably the 30th when it happened
[00:14] <darkfalls> ;)
 15[00:14] * Avruch (me@wikimedia/Nathan) Quit (Quit: Leaving )
[00:14] <foks> It was new year on the east coast 17hours ago!

[00:15] <CRRaysHead90> East coast north america*
[00:15] <LauraHale> America =/= World
[00:16] <CRRaysHead90> never said it did
[00:16] <LauraHale> Always define so the rest of the world knows what you're talking about with out thinking you're one of those idiots from the USA who assumes the world will revolve around you. :)
[00:16] <foks> whoa whoa
[00:16] <foks> he just said happy new year!
[00:17] <foks> chillax :3
[00:18] <Gfoley4> Rather ironic that there is a music show going on in California celebrating the new year - even though it would be 2012 for 3 hours there
[00:18] <Bsadowski1> I wonder what edit was first made in 2012 on Wikipedia.
[00:18] <TParis> Well we already know what the first article was
[00:19] <CRRaysHead90> I don't think the world revolves around us, LauraHale, I'm just used to talking to people in my continent so don't usually have to specify
 15[00:19] * Netalarm (~Netalarm@TechEssentials/Netalarm) Quit (Quit: Shutting down )
[00:19] <CRRaysHead90> chill :)
[00:19] <LauraHale> On IRC, never safe to make that assumption unless you're in a place that is specifically for Americans. :)
[00:19] <TParis> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Buddy%27s_Bug_Hunt&redirect=no
[00:19] <TParis> First article of 2012
 06[00:19] * LauraHale huggles the USA

[00:22] <darkfalls> You made me click that oppose.
[00:22] <Shirik> ha
[00:22] <darkfalls> dirty troll.
[00:23] <Shirik> it's Gfoley4's fault
 03[00:23] * JeffAndroIrcAFK3 is now known as Jeff_G
[00:23] <Shirik> it was his rationale, but he refused to use it, so I did instead

[00:41] <unfo> hi all.  I think it'd be nice if {{cite news}} would take a "type=" parameter, which could be "letter", "editorial", "Celebrity Sightings column", or similar.  Does this seem sensible to you too?

[00:48] <unfo> Dear all:  {{Citation}} already has a "type=" parameter, which sometimes maps to {{citation/core}}'s "TitleType=" parameter.  But for periodical articles, it does not map to anything in {{citation/core}}.

[00:53] <Aranda|zzzzzzzzz> matthewrbowker i think it's because everyone is texting or calling in new years eve in miami that phone lines are overloaded
[00:54] <unfo> Aranda|zzzzzzzzz:  The SMS problem sounds very frustrating.  But why go clubbing in the first place?  Does it really bring you long-lasting happiness?  :)

[02:21] <The359> Wait, according to that, the J-Alert automatically turns on all televisions and radios and tunes them to one station in the affected area
[02:21] <The359> Really?
[02:22] <Shirik> I don't live there, I know significantly less about J-Alert than I do about EAS, but I think it just pops up over the broadcast

[02:22] <The359> If tsunami warnings are issued, the Emergency Warning Broadcast system breaks into the signal and automatically turns on all radios and televisions in the warned areas tuned to NHK at the time the system is activated, so that the warnings are received properly.

[02:25] <Shirik> I mean I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult. EAS can turn on radios.
[02:25] <Shirik> though I guess for some definition they're already "on"
[02:25] <Silvester> Shirik, It can?
[02:25] <Shirik> sure
[02:26] <Silvester> not if the physical switch is turned off though
[02:26] <Shirik> that tone at the beginning of a message is actually digitally encoded information a radio can use to determine if it should turn on and play the alert
[02:26] <Shirik> well yeah
[02:26] <Shirik> basically the radio is just listening silently
 03[02:26] * RudyValencia (me@unaffiliated/rudyvalencia) has joined #wikipedia-en
[02:26] <Silvester> so...
[02:26] <The359> So if the EAS goes off and my car radio is off, it'll turn it on?
[02:27] <Shirik> no, only radios that know how to interpret it
[02:27] <Silvester> How is a radio listening if it's off?
[02:27] <zscout370> Shirik, for the EAS, the broadcast is replaced with a vocal alert and on the TV, a banner.
[02:27] <Pancetta> It's scary as hell too
[02:27] <Gfoley4> so, Imma stop stalking "alert"
[02:27] <Shirik> zscout370: Not sure what that was in response to
[02:28] <Shirik> Silvester: OK take my weather radio for example, when I turn it off, it actually is still sitting there listening to the channel for any EAS activation
[02:28] <Shirik> if it receives one, it decodes it, and if it matches my settings, it turns on and plays the alert
[02:28] <zscout370> Shirik, responding to your comment on how the EAS comes up during a broadcast at 01:22 (according to my timestamp)
[02:28] <Silvester> zscout370, My cable provider breaks into channels with some creepy old man voice saying "PLEASE TUNE TO CABLE CHANNEL TWENTY-TWO FOR MORE EMERGENCY ALERT INFORMATION"
[02:28] <Pancetta> Can radios turn themselves on upon receiving the SAME header? I thought that was only NOAA Weather Radio-type devices.

[03:59] <wctaiwan> a little customisation à la main page is fine, but don't try to create an HTML world of your own.
[03:59] <foks> Eww, no, go with a grey background
[03:59] <foks> a light grey
[03:59] <matthewrbowker> ^
[03:59] <wctaiwan> foks: what's wrong with white?
[03:59] <matthewrbowker> Yeah, that's pretty bad
[03:59] <matthewrbowker> wctaiwan: Portals want their own feel ... unfortunatly
[03:59] <wctaiwan> :|
[04:00] <wctaiwan> at least don't make it ugly
[04:00] <foks> White isn't really portally
[04:00] <wctaiwan> also, that logo you have for Apple Inc. isn't current, and I'm not sure MS still uses the one you chose.
[04:00] <wctaiwan> "portally"
[04:00] <wctaiwan> OK :P
[04:00] <foks> [[Portal:English football]] is one I got to FPo years ago
[04:00] <SigmaWP> wctaiwan: I didn't choose that
[04:01] <foks> Hell, the Microsoft portal looks nice
[04:01] <SigmaWP> foks: Fortunately, my userpage has many shades of gray :D
[04:01] <wctaiwan> It looks inoffensive.
[04:01] <wctaiwan> your face is many shades of grey.
[04:02] <foks> My English football one is red
[04:02] <foks> but like, red with light red
[04:03] <matthewrbowker> foks: That doesn't look bad
[04:03] <matthewrbowker> SigmaWP: At least make the links grey
[04:03] <foks> you can't do that
[04:03] <SigmaWP> Right
[04:03] <matthewrbowker> ?? It's disabled in stylesheets?
[04:03] <wctaiwan> SigmaWP: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/imagegallery/logos/logoguidelines.mspx look at their logos. No slanted M on blue there.
[04:04] <wctaiwan> matthewrbowker: you can't change stylesheets.
[04:04] <wctaiwan> (except your own)
[04:04] <matthewrbowker> ah
 06[04:04] * matthewrbowker was thinking HTML ... time for bed
[04:04] <foks> There really is no need to change the link colour
[04:04] <SigmaWP> Someone put {{Boxheader|border=#7878790|titlebackground=#bbb|titleforeground=#000|title{{{title|Foobar}}}|border=lightgray|background=#edf1f1|foreground=black}} in a sandbox
[04:04] <foks> just make the background paler
[04:04] <wctaiwan> you cannot set selectors (? can't remember the right term) without stylesheets since style="" only affects the style of an element, not an element in a certain state.
[04:04] <SigmaWP> foks: ^
[04:04] <foks> why don't you
[04:04] <SigmaWP> because you can't see what is on my preview screen
[04:05] <wctaiwan> also, design is making something readable and pleasant to look at.
[04:05] <wctaiwan> the wow factor really doesn't matter at all on wikipedia :/
[04:05] <foks> wctaiwan, does with portals :(
[04:05] <SigmaWP> Mhmm
[04:06] <SigmaWP> It's one of the featured portal criteria

[04:06] <SigmaWP> OK
[04:06] <wctaiwan> foks: nothing to be sorry about :P
[04:06] <SigmaWP> How about gray?
[04:06] <wctaiwan> sure.
[04:06] <wctaiwan> just put readability above distinctiveness

[04:08] <foks> Main box
[04:08] <wctaiwan> that one you just named is a really, really pale green
[04:08] <foks> For the titles, white text on ... maybe 339733
[04:09] <Aranda56> and i was embarrassed to go with friends to other places because I don't want to be seen with having absolutely no money in my pockets, and in my bank accounts very depressing
[04:09] <foks> Maybe a bit stronger green
[04:09] <Aranda56> :(

[04:10] <SigmaWP> Nice
[04:10] <wctaiwan> (oh also, in general, I find that if you're going to have a large patch of the same colour, make it dull: either dark or light, don't go for liveliness)

[04:15] <foks> no sign of him in the UK

[04:25] <wctaiwan> nice design though, I tried the colour-on-hover idea a few years back but not nearly as well done as yours.

 06[04:26] * Aranda56 didn't even know a song could be ranked 123rd
[04:26] <foks> wctaiwan, oh, I guess not.

[04:38] <wctaiwan> the light green looks a bit too dark (hospital coat colour :P) and the dark green a bit too light on my end
[04:38] <wctaiwan> though I highly suspect it's due to display variation, not by design

[07:03] <lapompo> Stop wishing everyone a happy new year. It's not happy for me. It's an insult.
[07:03] <wctaiwan> "The product was introduced by McVitie and Price in 1927"
[07:03] <wctaiwan> wouldn't that be enough?
[07:03] <lapompo> Never heard of that company, and I've seen Jaffa Cakes by various companies.
[07:04] <wctaiwan> (also, I found the cake-biscuit dispute hilarious)
[07:04] <wctaiwan> I'd assume it's some sort of a (generic?) trademark and they're the original maker.
[07:04] <lapompo> How can there be a generic trademark?
[07:04] <wctaiwan> if you can find a source on that many manufacturers make them, feel free to add it.
[07:05] <wctaiwan> "A generic trademark, also known as a genericized trademark or proprietary eponym, is a trademark or brand name that has become the colloquial or generic description for, or synonymous with, a general class of product or service, rather than as an indicator of source or affiliation ("secondary meaning") as intended by the trademark's holder."
[07:05] <wctaiwan> in short, something used to be a trademark but is now generic
[07:05] <lapompo> It's weird how being too popular is bad.
[07:05] <wctaiwan> e.g. Kleenex and Xerox in the US
[07:05] <lapompo> Are you saying that Kleenex has lost the right to the name?
[07:05] <wctaiwan> I think so.
[07:06] <lapompo> Just because idiots call any towel that?
[07:06] <lapompo> That's insane.
[07:06] <wctaiwan> oh wait, no, they still have rights to it.
[07:06] <lapompo> Americans seem to speak in trademarks.
[07:06] <lapompo> More often than the real words.
[07:07] <lapompo> I need a Band-Aid ASAP, and get me some Kleenex and a few glasses of Kool-Aid!
[07:07] <lapompo> Later, we'll have Jell-O and Oreos!
[07:07] <lapompo> :/
[07:08] <wctaiwan> It's not just the americans, I'd think.
[07:09] <wctaiwan> (looks like neither Kleenex or Xerox has actually ceased being trademarks. Better examples: aspirin, thermos, zipper)

[08:42] <Harmonia_Amanda> sorry for my bad english
[08:42] <Lubaf> How do you mean "re-write"?
[08:42] <TParis> Harmonia_Amanda: On the English Wikipedia, we don't allow interviews by Wikipedians to be used as sources in articles.
[08:42] <Lubaf> Translate, or rephrase?
[08:43] <Lubaf> And, what TParis said.
[08:43] <Harmonia_Amanda> TBloemink: I know it is for the french wikinews
[08:43] <Harmonia_Amanda> not for wikipedia
 06[08:43] * TParis isnt sure of the rules over there

Short Post: Chris Chappell Fights Back From the Grave!

If you have been reading this blog for a while, you will remember China Uncensored and it's now-obsolete Colbert Report-era knockoff Chris Chappell. Well, like with many video shows, China Uncensored now has a podcast addition which they call China Unscripted.

http://chinaunscripted.libsyn.com/50-how-to-overthrow-tyranny-jhanisse-vaca-daza

Above: Chris, his sassy editor Shelly Zhang, and another dude talk to Bolivian Kent State alumna Jhanisse Vaca-Daza on the overthrow of Evo Morales, whom she and the China Uncensored/China Unscripted consider a dictator. The Cold War style anti-Communism of the show is an extension of how Chris and his crew are involved in the Falun Gong/Falun Dafa and work around the group's New Tang Dynasty satellite TV channel - Li Hongzhi, the founder of the religion, decided that fighting the Chinese Communist Party through John Birch Society paranoia was the way to go once the Party and the PRC government began cracking down on chi gung-style folk religions/self-improvement groups in the 1990s. This is why major metropolitan areas are flooded with Falum Gong's Epoch Times "news"paper.

http://chinaunscripted.libsyn.com/51-how-china-spies-on-us-universities-paul-mooney-china-unscripted-podcast

The trio talking to Paul Mooney (not that one) a freelance journalist; he spoke on the endless spying on mainland Chinese by flunkies of the Red Chinese government, most of whom are students themselves.




Where we stole the post title from, the horrendous "Brucesploitation" gung fu film Bruce Lee Fights Back From the Grave (1976) which wasn't even a fake Bruce Lee movie before the dubbers and the American releasing company got to it - it's a South Korean taekwando martial arts film!


Bonus dated slickness, a half-hour loop of "Crockett's Theme" from the Miami Vice TV show soundtrack:

(This Post was) Started Two Days Before Christmas.....

We've been extremely busy this December, so the two posts from October and the recent FRAM post need to be finished this week. I have other posts dating as far back as November that I need to put up. So what has been occupying my mind?

The Board

The biggest online thing has been dealing with the endless drama factory that is the Wikipedia Sucks! message board, which was originally a visual parody of WO-MB (Wikipediocracy's board), but is now black to their grey. There were three, sometimes four, players: Graaf Statler and CrowsNest against Kumioko, with CN going after Abd for good measure. It should be said Statler is one of the great ranters in the Dutch language - why he has not taken all that verbose anger and converted it into a series of rant-y books is beyond me. CrowsNest is just furious - angry at Kumioko, angry at Wikipedia, contemptuous of Abd. I challenge anybody reading this to go to the board and look at some of these threads.....a new-ish member changed their handle to JuiceBeetle and began "modding" the living hell out of the board, shutting down these fights constantly. It should be said that some boardies formed a Discord room/space/squat that I have never been in, and they type like mad and don't use Discord's VoIP ("Voice over Internet Protocol") feature, otherwise they would be screaming at each other in some channel. JuiceBeetle recently was forced to give Graaf Statler the boot. What I hate is the loss of people who had been involved with the previous ProBoards version of the board - FlipFlopped, Rome Viharo, Mutineer. They followed us to the new board, then dropped out before the drama began. It's very hard to keep people interested in Wikipedia, even if those people are ex-Wikipedians burned by Jimbo's website or David "Assisted-Living Dracula" Gerard's RationalWiki. This whole situation is crying out for a book to be written on it.

Wikipedia Isn't Collapsing Fast Enough

en.Wikipedia has caused reams of agony, and yet it still stands there because the average Internet "user" still thinks the site is an online encyclopedia and not a weird sort of social media website for picky, picky people who still get the facts wrong. The trick is that, unlike the #metoo movement, people have not stood up and said "I was harassed off of Wikipedia" thanks to how ridiculous Internet bullying of adults sounds. Even though everybody now knows it exists. Eric Barbour has a chart somewhere of extrapolations he sketched out in 2012 of editor loss, and from my memory the bottom either dropped out this year or it will by 2025. There are probably around 450 active editors on Wikipedia now, and the rest of it are 'bots. These people are the truest die-hard fanatics or the shell-shocked survivors, I can't tell. Unless the real world wakes up to what a mess the place is (and if you've looked at the recent book on Reddit titled We Are the Nerds, being harshly critical of monster social websites seems to be beyond journalists/researchers because there usually is a sane small core everybody praises), the scam that is Wikipedia will never be stopped.

Drama in the Wider "Wikipedia Criticism 'Community'"

I put "community" in triple quotes up there because it really doesn't exist. There are blogs and boards but they (the boards mostly) don't get along. We had a lot of drama when Auggie/Emperor was exposed as a white guy in medicine by BoredBird on a private dare from Eric Barbour, and the board gets criticism from Gender Desk, especially during the last board crash and the aftermath. I tried to sneak back into Wikipediocracy, but they aren't accepting new members, or the leadership is quietly squabbling, or something else. Wikipedia Review is still up, but there are no major changes. The dysfunction helps the WMF.




We aren't done, not by a long shot.....
