[18:30] <***> Buffer Playback...
[18:30] <Ironholds> [18:33:37] if one of them is dead he isn't able to serve
[18:30] <Ironholds> [18:33:43] that doesn't mean he has to be replaced, of course
[18:30] <Ironholds> [18:33:50] Section 36(1) just ALLOWS him to be replaced
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [18:37:50] "Daniel Defoe wrote of Fagg's prodigious bullocks, "I never saw any thing like them"
[18:30] <alyxuk> [18:38:25] "As austerity cuts bite in Britain, Matt Prodger reports on the UK councils turning off streetlights in order to save money."
[18:30] <alyxuk> [18:38:30] bloody great idea
[18:30] <alyxuk> [18:38:50] they said theyre gonna dim some, turn some off periodically, and scrap some
[18:30] <alyxuk> [18:39:02] light polution reduction, maybe we'll see the stars in the city :O?!
[18:30] <topaz> [18:39:27] IHNJH,IJLS "prodigious bullocks"
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [18:40:01] "Fagg's prodigious bullocks"
[18:30] <topaz> [18:40:16] indeed.
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [18:45:41] jesus CHRIST - [[Nasal Reconstruction, Paramedian Forehead Flap]] - what what what what
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [18:47:34] ...how did i not know abotu Reflinks until now?
 06[18:30] * killiondude [18:48:15] slaps Chaoticfluffy with a ten pound trout.
 06[18:30] * Chaoticfluffy [18:48:29] accepts the well-deserved trouting
[18:30] <alyxuk> [18:48:37] http://techcrunch.com/2010/11/10/kindle-pedophile-book/ << points to amazon for not caving in yet :/
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [18:49:04] there's been a lot of screaminess about that in my twitter timeline today, alyxuk
[18:30] <killiondude> [18:49:21] :/
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [18:49:45] thing is, amazon probably had literally zero involvement in that book being offered. Apparently authors who self-publish can add their books to the kindle wares pretty much on their own
[18:30] <geniice> [18:49:57] alyxuk they did on virgin killer
[18:30] <geniice> [18:50:28] alyxuk however in this case they probably want to avoid the Lolita issue
[18:30] <alyxuk> [18:54:53] virgin killer is a slightly different matter
[18:30] <killiondude> [18:55:01] killer pings me
[18:30] <killiondude> [18:55:06] or kill maybe
[18:30] <killiondude> [18:55:08] ugh
[18:30] <alyxuk> [18:55:20] virgin killer is (arguably) CP, whereas a book is.. a... book
 06[18:30] * PeterSymonds [18:55:22] kills killiondude.
[18:30] <killiondude> [18:55:28] D:
[18:30] <TenPoundHammer> [18:56:54] FT2, poke
[18:30] <FT2> [18:58:13] yup
[18:30] <FT2> [18:58:20] was hoping you'd wander back
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [18:59:33] Ghosts and clouds.....
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [18:59:36] and nameless things.
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [18:59:41] Squint your eyes and hope real hard....
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [18:59:44] maybe sprout wings.
[18:30] <TenPoundHammer> [18:59:51] ?
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:00:10] ??
 06[18:30] * Chaoticfluffy [19:00:18] eases the beer out of Dragonfly6-7's hand
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:00:25] I don't drink
[18:30] <topaz> [19:01:19] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jGDUy7BH2w
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:03:05] ah. so just autumn musings, then?
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:06:54]  [[Nasal Reconstruction, Paramedian Forehead Flap]] - someone give me an opinion on this
[18:30] <Ironholds> [19:07:22] Dragonfly6-7: disgusting, but necessary
[18:30] <Ironholds> [19:07:31] otherwise we'd have people with weird noses
[18:30] <Ironholds> [19:07:34] that sort of opinion?
[18:30] <TenPoundHammer> [19:07:43] sources look bogus
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:07:46] Do they?
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:07:52] Something seems wrong.
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:07:58] the surgery itself - meh
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:08:03] the *article* is what I'm concerned about
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:08:06] so tempted to prod the article of a non-notable Moldavian with the rationale "molvania doesn't really exist"
[18:30] <TenPoundHammer> [19:08:13] ....meh, sources look okay actually
[18:30] <TenPoundHammer> [19:08:24] the first one exists, for sure
[18:30] <TenPoundHammer> [19:08:33] but the article's a mess. I say speedy delete via [[WP:IAR]] and [[WP:TNT]]
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [19:08:57] And some other three-letter acronyms too.
[18:30] <TenPoundHammer> [19:09:08] WP:TNT definitely.
[18:30] <TenPoundHammer> [19:09:29] Also nuke the images.
[18:30] <geniice> [19:09:49] pubmed says process is real
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:10:14] TNT?
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:10:16] wow those are quite possibly the creepiest images i've ever seen
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:10:33] I mean, I understand completely his desire to censor the images for the privacy of the patients
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:10:34] but
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:10:52] yeah
[18:30] <topaz> [19:11:00] the process is real, that doesn't mean there needs to be a whole ten-page wikipedia entry on it.
[18:30] <geniice> [19:11:03] Chaoticfluffy have you seen our deformed bay pics
[18:30] <geniice> [19:11:10] baby
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:11:11] he's been doing a lot of work today on medical stuff
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:11:18] some of it is good, some of it is... I don't know what
 06[18:30] * Chaoticfluffy [19:11:30] is fine with graphic pics. It's just something about the black holes added to these that creep me out
[18:30] <topaz> [19:11:34] summarize in two paragraphs, merge into [[rhinoplasty]] or something
[18:30] <oona> [19:11:38] WP:NOTGUIDE though
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:11:49] they're added so *badly*
[18:30] <geniice> [19:11:57] cyclopia try [[cyclopia]]
[18:30] <topaz> [19:12:06] jesus, I hope this isn't intended as a manual.
[18:30] <TenPoundHammer> [19:12:07] Dragonfly6-7, if it's low quality, I say just wipe it out.
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:12:23] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Healed_underlying_soft_tissue_and_cartilage.jpg
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:12:46] the thing is, this guy seems to be an expert. So we have to do this *delicately*
[18:30] <geniice> [19:12:51] topaz see the technique section
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:12:55] don't want to frighten him away
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:14:08] send him to WP:NOTHOW #5 #7 and give him a chance to rewrite it
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:14:46] I don't think anyone should delete it, it's superficially encyclopedic
[18:30] <geniice> [19:17:05] Dragonfly6-7 because anyone who could post those images is posible to frighten
 06[18:30] * Dragonfly6-7 [19:20:06] rolls eyes
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:20:22] I don't want him to think that Wikipedia is hostile towards him and an unrewarding environment in which to contribute
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:20:30] read his article on the [[triphalangeal thumb]], for instance
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:20:33] that's *good*
[18:30] <FT2> [19:23:25] he;'s put in a lot of work
 06[18:30] * Chaoticfluffy [19:24:58] reads editors talk page, mutters "oh dear, oh dear" to herself a few times
[18:30] <FT2> [19:26:13] df - may I rewrite your note?
[18:30] <FT2> [19:26:17] so as to be a bit gentler?
[18:30] <geniice> [19:26:24] "Wikipedia sister Wikia undergoes major redesign"  fuck
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:26:27] FT2 - go ahead
[18:30] <geniice> [19:26:31] http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11715876
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:27:01] gah, social-web wiki
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:27:03] good ol bbc they are too busy playing cricket and "football" to check facts
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [19:27:25] And cricket.
 06[18:30] * PeterSymonds [19:27:27] sips.
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:27:30] Alyxuk: What was that you were saying about Amzaon allowing a controversial book?
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:27:54] geniice: The new design at Wikia isn't compatible with Firefox 2
[18:30] <killiondude> [19:28:05] PeterSymonds, why, is that Kool Aid you're drinking?
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:28:09] It breaks for a 'real' computer user like me...
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:28:09] I sometimes fantasize about prodding every footballer article that's less than 3000 bytes
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:28:21] I figure most of them are completely irrelevant so most would expire
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [19:28:23] killiondude, certainly not.
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:28:24] Qcoder00: why in the world are you using Firefox TWO?
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:28:28] Gigs: This article is a stub - DEL-ETE
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:28:43] Chaoticfluffy : No budget for upgardes
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:28:50] ...firefox is free
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:28:59] Qcoder00: the thing is, a lot of those guys have day jobs... it's not like professional sports here
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:29:18] Are they national side players?
[18:30] <geniice> [19:29:26] Gigs- oh yeah? well there's a pro footballer who doesn't even have an article and he rescued 30 people from an fing copper mine
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:29:27] Or play for Top-Tier clubs?
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:29:57] Qcoder00: uhh... did you see that ludicrous display last night?
[18:30] <geniice> [19:30:06] Manuel Gonz谩lez hardcore
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:30:19] Gigs-: Which ludicrous display?
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:30:41] Qcoder00: What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on so early?
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:31:06] I don't watch football
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:31:11] hehehe
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:31:35] I prefer to watch competitive troll-baiting in ##politcs :(
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:31:42] *##politics
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:31:46] nor the IT crowd apparently
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:34:09] opinions on the relevance or irrelevance of this paragraph to [[Twinkie]] (i.e. worth article mention, or no?)? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Twinkie&diff=395996469&oldid=395851811
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:34:10] geniice:  Thanks re the Commons thing
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:34:34] BarkingFish : In a good mood?
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:34:48] chaoticfluffy: it seems fine to me.
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:35:07] Gigs-: fine as in should be there?
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:35:10] or fine as in good removal?
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:35:19] it should be restored
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:35:53] For common items like that, a lot of the media coverage is going to center around things like that
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:36:07] unless you want an article drawn entirely from primary sources, you need information like that
[18:30] <BarkingFish> [19:36:09] Qcoder00: ask me in an hour :)
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:37:18] ok, that was more or less my feeling too, but i wanted a sanity check
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:37:21] thanks
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:43:16] man OTRS just goes around in circles
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:44:03] wp:otrs redirect to -> wp:vrt, the link in the last paragraph of the lede says "if you want to contact otrs go to WP:Contact Us", you go there and it leads you back to WP:VRT
[18:30] <DarkoNeko> [19:44:27] I'll be bach
[18:30] <killiondude> [19:44:48] Gigs-, I hate the "VRT" thing.
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:45:23] wp:otrs should land in a page with a bunch of email addresses plainly listed at the top
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:45:56] one of these days, when i get some energy, i am going to ram through the help-pages rehabilitation that we started at WikiconfNYC but that has lost steam since
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:46:26] the funny thing is that the pages that us wikiwonks use all the time are highly streamlined
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:46:43] it's the pages that we send newbies to that are a maze of twisty pages, all alike
[18:30] <Chaoticfluffy> [19:49:15] incidentally, here's the help-with-help page we started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Contents/draft
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:49:30] heheh anyone remember "virus creation labs" in DOS?
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:49:54] they had help on help, and then if you hit help again they had "help on help on help" which described how to blow your brains out with a shotgun
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:50:49] did I give her the right queue? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AMkmichelle&action=historysubmit&diff=396001836&oldid=395967756
[18:30] <alyxuk> [19:51:25] i LOVE google earth historical imagery
[18:30] <killiondude> [19:51:28] I think, Gigs-.
[18:30] <alyxuk> [19:51:34] we fucking DESTROYED germany.
[18:30] <alyxuk> [19:51:42] http://imgur.com/0Fv70.jpg
[18:30] <killiondude> [19:51:42] They always can be moved around in the system, so it's not a big deal if they email the wrong address.
[18:30] <SWATJester> [19:52:56] Gigs-: you should get in touch with Keegan about the OTRS -> crt thing
[18:30] <SWATJester> [19:53:00] vrt*
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:53:24] I'm going to make a bold edit to add the email links to the vrt page
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:54:02] alyuk : Just like we DESTROYED thier team in 66? XD
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:54:11] Gigs - don't forget the word 'falsely'
[18:30] <killiondude> [19:54:13] I think the reason they do that (to be honest) is so they don't get a thousand emails.
[18:30] <SWATJester> [19:54:34] killiondude: the queues are pretty calm right now
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [19:55:13] I remember when somebody added quality's e-mail address to {{blp}}.
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:55:49] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVolunteer_response_team&action=historysubmit&diff=396003059&oldid=392521768
[18:30] <SWATJester> [19:55:50] BTW, while I have an audience, might I point you all to [[WP:CONTRIB]] -- we can use all the help we can get
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:56:48] heh swat, not to crap on your idea, but I think getting the word out isn't a problem
[18:30] <SWATJester> [19:57:04] Gigs-: offline it is
[18:30] <Ottava> [19:57:05] OMG OMG OMG
[18:30] <Ottava> [19:57:13] Ironholds's book is for sale on Amazon
[18:30] <SWATJester> [19:57:14] online, it's more about helping get better contributions
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:57:14] my wife who doesn't even edit wikipedia was using the web and said "a personal appeal from jimbo wales eh?"
[18:30] <Ottava> [19:57:15] http://www.amazon.com/Pedophiles-Guide-Love-Pleasure-ebook/dp/B0049U4CF6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
[18:30] <killiondude> [19:57:44] OLD NEWS.
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:57:44] Chanops
[18:30] <alyxuk> [19:57:48] already linked to it, Ottava.
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:57:54] Any chanops?
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [19:57:56] alyxuk - put Ottava back on your /ignore
[18:30] <SWATJester> [19:57:58] Gigs- we have a lot of readers who may see the fundraiser etc., but don't necessarily donate, or know why they should.
[18:30] <SWATJester> [19:58:16] It's not so much outreach ABOUT the fundraiser, but outreach in support of the fundraiser.
 06[18:30] * Ottava [19:58:26] gives killiondude a muffin
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [19:58:27] Qcoder00, I don't think we need to ban you just yet.
[18:30] <alyxuk> [19:58:30] what were some major carpet bombing targets in germany in WW2? i wanna check it on the google :P
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [19:58:31] I'll keep an eye out though.
[18:30] <killiondude> [19:58:41] I'm going to skip my class and get lunch.
[18:30] <Ottava> [19:58:56] good!
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:58:57] PeterSymonds :  You probably know why I asked though....
[18:30] <alyxuk> [19:59:01] we seemed to have wiped out berlin
[18:30] <Ottava> [19:59:02] lunch is way better than class
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [19:59:22] alyxuk: Dresden maybe?
[18:30] <alyxuk> [19:59:31] its just empty shells of housesm, all over berlin
[18:30] <SWATJester> [19:59:46] alyxuk: berlin, guernica
[18:30] <Gigs-> [19:59:46] Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed  "A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality " heh
[18:30] <SWATJester> [19:59:55] dresden
[18:30] <alyxuk> [20:00:08] checking  Dresden
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:00:18] warsaw
[18:30] <alyxuk> [20:00:23] cant see the same level of obvious carpet bombing, i cant spot any bomb marks
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:00:32] well, dresden was incendiary bombed
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [20:00:36] Gigs :  :O
[18:30] <alyxuk> [20:00:37] http://i.imgur.com/0Fv70.jpg << like that
[18:30] <alyxuk> [20:01:03] dresden is really built up, its hard to spot anything
[18:30] <alyxuk> [20:01:13] waaaaait
[18:30] <alyxuk> [20:01:17] one of these maps has.. a cross on it
[18:30] <alyxuk> [20:01:39] the "Albertinum" fine art museum, they put a cross on it, in pen
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:01:55] SWATJester: late reply, yeah I can see that.
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:01:55] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden_in_World_War_II
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:02:08] re:the social media thing
[18:30] <alyxuk> [20:02:45] interesting that we put a cross on it, though
[18:30] <alyxuk> [20:02:53] wonder where else we've got some
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:02:59] Gigs- makes you wonder why there isn't a "parents guide to prevent people who bought the other book from getting to your child"
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:03:16] SWATJester: as an idea, people like stupid thermometer type bars that go across the screen and real time display of money donated... it builds an excitement to see immediate effects and goal reaching... that's something I always thought WMF was lacking.  Look at the successful money bomb things, they all had that.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:03:22] Tokyo was fire bombed
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:03:47] Gigs-: that's an idea, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe you can add it to the task planning page?
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:04:04] SWATJester: ok
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:04:04] (and sign up)
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:04:13] hehe I don't know about htat
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:04:19] Gigs, instead of signing up for that sign up for my facebook group
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:04:42] gigs-: it's a "work on it as you choose to" thing, not something we're going to be putting demands on you to perform
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:04:49] http://www.facebook.com/#!/home.php?sk=group_169572306395031 Gigs-
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:04:50] sort of like a wikiproject
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [20:06:42] Gigs - you want it done, you do it
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:07:24] Dragonfly6-7: if WMF wants money, they can do it
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:07:30] Dragonfly6-7: they don't pay me
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:07:32] If you want something done, don't do it, otherwise, people will complain that you are doing something, you end up getting banned, and the wiki returns to its previously crappy state
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:11:54] http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showtopic=31278&st=0&#entry257577
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:12:28] I clicked.
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:12:37] tl;dr
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:13:41] interesting page
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:18:39] PeterSymonds: why hide them
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:18:48] Hmm?
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:19:08] PeterSymonds: the otrs stuff, it's all like 4 levels deep and you are liable to head in circles
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:19:08] Oh, the OTRS page?
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:19:35] PeterSymonds: every time I need to look up an OTRS address it takes me about 15 minutes to find them, just imagine what a newbie is up against
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:20:02] Yeah, we don't really want addresses on that page, since it's for established editors. In the past the purpose of those addresses has been misinterpreted by established users and stuff we can't deal with has been sent.
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [20:20:05] Gigs: There are level in OTRS?
[18:30] <Ironholds> [20:20:11] Qcoder00: yup
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:20:24] Gigs - almost impossible to find the email addresses for OTRS on sister projects, including Meta
[18:30] <Ironholds> [20:20:24] it goes from Alpha to Theta
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:20:30] Most established users won't need the addresses; they're for readers and infrequent contributors really.
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [20:20:48] Operating Thetan Removal System
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:20:50] But the permissions-* e-mail addresses are quite visible.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:21:01] Thetans? Like Scientology?
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:21:01] o.O
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [20:21:03] Dragonfly6-7:  Isn't that Arbcom?
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:21:07] PeterSymonds: I need them kind of often
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:21:13] Aren't scientologists banned by ArbCom?
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:21:14] omgz
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:21:15] PeterSymonds: maybe once every 3 months
 06[18:30] * Qcoder00 [20:21:19] needs to take his anti-giggles medication...
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:21:33] Well, you can note them down.
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:21:36] just ask on irc
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:21:48] Killiondude, how is lunch?
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:21:48] info-en@wikimedia.org works for everything as well :-P
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:21:53] lunch!
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:21:58] PeterSymonds: anyway wp:otrs leads you to wp:contact us, if you read carefully, wp:contact us/article problem leads you back to wp:otrs if you click on "volunteer response email"
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:22:19] it just goes in circles
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:22:21] Gigs- do not look behind that curtain!!!
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:22:24] It does; but WP:VRT is a documentation page.
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:22:34] WP:Contact us is for people who need the addresses.
[18:30] <geniice> [20:22:36] Gigs so whats the problem?
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:22:41] if wp:vrt is for experienced users, why does wp:contact us send you to it?
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:23:18] wp:otrs -> wp:vrt -> Wikipedia:Contact_us -> Report a problem with an article  -> Volunteer response email -> wp:vrt
[18:30] <geniice> [20:23:44] so whats the problem?
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [20:23:46] Gigs: It's the Google approach to help
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [20:23:48] ;)
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:23:52] geniice: it's a maze of useless pages
[18:30] <geniice> [20:24:00] thats a feature
[18:30] <geniice> [20:24:06] OTRS is undermanned
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:24:08] Someone, please just add OTRS's email on WP:Contact_us
[18:30] <geniice> [20:24:23] getting rid of the time wasters is useful
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [20:24:24] ' You are in a maze of twisty turny page links, You may be berated by a sysop' XD
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:24:31] it already is I think.
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:24:33] All of the needed addresses are there, Ottava.
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:24:35] info-en@
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:24:41] Depends on the subpage.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:24:47] PeterSymonds - info-en@ does not look like it would go to OTRS
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:24:53] It does.
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:25:01] Ottava: it is one of the main queues.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:25:09] The words OTRS does not appear
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:25:13] so it is impossible to tell that
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:25:25] OTRS is just the system we use. People don't need to know that.
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:25:36] it's also what everyone calls it
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:25:47] Every established editor, yeah.
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:25:50] Pretty much all email to the foundation goes through OTRS unless its either internal, or to a direct address.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:25:51] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contact_us  That should have "If you have an OTRS concern, email info-en@ ..."
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:25:53] The people who e-mail don't call it that.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:26:05] I do
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:26:10] and I direct people to contact us
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:26:12] PeterSymonds: at least unlink the words "Volunteer response email" in Wikipedia:Contact_us/Article_problem so that it's not a loop
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:26:23] I know others who say "contact OTRS" about matters
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:26:30] and there isnt even an email on WP:OTRS
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:26:32] PeterSymonds: the page is fully protected so I can't
[18:30] <Peter-C> [20:26:58] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Conan_O'Brien O_o
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:27:48] I don't see why we should. The page is there for documentation of the system.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:27:52] How do you have WP:OTRS and no email address to actually email them!!!
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:27:55] It's available to anyone who wants it.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:27:57] That is ridiculous
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:27:59] PeterSymonds: arg!
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:28:02] Just add it
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:28:09] "If you need to email OTRS, email: ..."
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:28:10] I did add it, PeterSymonds reverted me
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:28:11] How hard is that?
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:28:24] Gigs - take it to the Admin Noticeboard
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:28:30] It is something that should be public
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:28:32] heh wtf Ottava
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:28:32] and available
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:29:00] It is almost impossible to know how to email OTRS even though any licensing matter and the rest requires it
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:29:08] and many admin say "email OTRS" but dont even know the address
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:29:12] why is it secret?
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:29:13] that is bs
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:29:18] calm down man
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:29:22] Just add it to the WP:OTRS and WP:Contact_us
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:29:23] Easy
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:29:24] simple
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:29:30] ur mother is simple.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:29:36] I'm adding it to Wikiversity's contact us page
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:30:30] Ottava, I'm not sure what you're getting at. WP:VRT is linked from the contact us page. But the purposes of those two pages are very different.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:30:50] Peter, it should be on multiple pages
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:31:03] One is to inform people how to contact us. The other is documentation of the contact system itself.
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:31:21] PeterSymonds: wp:vrt directs you to wp:contact us, wp:contact us directs you to wp:contact us/article issues  that directs you back to wp:vrt...
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:31:36] Yeah, because they're all relevant to each other.
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:31:58] that would be fine if it were clear how to actually get where you want to go... to get the email addresses
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:32:01] PeterSymonds, but Gigs- keeps following the links and going back and forth!!!
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:32:06] it's making me dizzy
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:33:40] "Users have two main ways to contact Wikipedia:"  except none of these links lead to any of them!
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:33:45] Anyway
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:33:51] I added info-en@wikimedia.org 12 times on Wikiversity
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:33:56] and Im about to spam it all over Meta
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:33:58] brb
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [20:34:17] Uh Oh :(
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:35:13] do favicons take time?
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:35:18] Okay, now Im going to add it to Commons, Source, and the various simple, fr, and es projects
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:35:21] wait
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:35:24] killiondude: no not really, but the can be cached
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:35:24] scratch the foreign language
[18:30] <topaz> [20:35:42] it may take time to create one.
[18:30] <Gigs-> [20:35:43] killiondude: the browser only makes on request and if it's 404 then it's not going to keep trying
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:36:12] hm.
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:37:56] i just didn't have it done correct.y
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:37:59] correctly.
[18:30] <Addihockey10> [20:38:55] Hey does anyone know why SoxBot isn't working at UAA?
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:39:21] because you touch yourself at night
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:39:26] SoxBot doesnt like that
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:39:26] ;/
[18:30] <SWATJester> [20:39:27] Hey who operates BrownBot?
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:39:43] mz?
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:39:56] kibble.
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:40:12] oh, it says right on it's userpage.
 06[18:30] * killiondude [20:40:16] stares at SWATJester.
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:40:19] its
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:40:59] Omg!
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:41:04] Im BrownBots operator!!!
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [20:41:17] No you're just odd.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:41:22] :(
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:41:47] At least I am prettier than you :D
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:42:04] I'm the proud owner of killiondude.com
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:42:16] So, then, why is it a gay porn site?
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:42:19] o.O
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [20:42:37] Chanops?
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:42:38] We're going to have a 3 strikes rule with Ottava.
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:42:39] That's one strike.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:42:52] What? It was funny
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:42:53] : P
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:43:02] don't push your luck!
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:43:10] omgz :(
 06[18:30] * Ottava [20:43:15] gives killiondude a muffin
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [20:43:19] kill-ion-dude.com Sounds like a name for a comic book promo though
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:43:21] you are just grumpy cause you are starving!!!
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [20:43:22] ;)
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:43:47] I am starving. :-x
[18:30] <killiondude> [20:43:58] I am going to get Panda Express on the way to school in a bit.
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:44:18] Mmmmmm endangered species
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:44:39] Brb, I need to go feed the horses.
[18:30] <Ironholds> [20:44:49] neigh
[18:30] <Peter-C> [20:49:40] The NEJM has an ad ratio of 1:3
[18:30] <Peter-C> [20:49:54] That is a crap load in my opnion >_>
[18:30] <Ottava> [20:53:01] back
 06[18:30] * Peter-C [20:53:43] licks BarkingFish

 06[18:30] * Qcoder00 [20:59:13] hates to imagine what the shipping forecast is like...
[18:30] <BarkingFish> [20:59:23] apparently parts of the UK had snow overnight, to the point where councils were gritting major roads
[18:30] <Qcoder00> [21:00:34] Hope they have enough Grit....

[18:30] <geniice> [21:06:14] life tends not to deliver

[18:30] <BarkingFish> [21:08:19] for another 53 minutes, then i'm vanishing to watch a double "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" :)

[18:30] <BarkingFish> [21:09:42] http://lanoswww.epfl.ch/personal/schimmin/uni/ecglex/ekg.htm
[18:30] <Peter-C> [21:11:07] thanks ^_^
[18:30] <BarkingFish> [21:11:13] yw :)
[18:30] <Ottava> [21:11:20] meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[18:30] <Ottava> [21:11:23] oooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
[18:30] <Ottava> [21:12:02] Omgz, a Laura
[18:30] <Peter-C> [21:12:52] o.o
 06[18:30] * Peter-C [21:12:57] shoots Ottava
[18:30] <Ottava> [21:13:12] ow :(
 06[18:30] * Peter-C [21:17:30] pokes BarkingFish with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5fX2s_lqS0
[18:30] <BarkingFish> [21:19:44] love to watch it, Peter-C - but I just found out, trying to play that, that my [censored by client] [censored by client] damned [censored by client] sound server has crashed
[18:30] <BarkingFish> [21:19:53] I'll be back in a minute
[18:30] <Dragonfly6-7> [21:24:04] back
[18:30] <BarkingFish> [21:38:11] any admins here with access to the ban list for the channel? I need some assistance
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [21:38:34] Erm. Sure. :-p
[18:30] <BarkingFish> [21:38:48] I've just seen someone join another wiki channel, I suspect it's Georgie Gibbons under a different nick, can someone pull his last join mask if he's still banned please?
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [21:38:49] The banlists aren't private though.
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [21:39:30] In here? No; there's no point unless he's a real pain. He can evade fairly easily.
[18:30] <BarkingFish> [21:40:42] I've got him in my ignore list, but I didn't add his mask PeterSymonds - only ignored him by nick...
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [21:41:01] He doesn't have a mask.
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [21:41:18] His IP range is huge anyway.
[18:30] <Ottava> [21:41:27] hmm
[18:30] <Ottava> [21:41:34] are you talking about me again?
[18:30] <Ottava> [21:41:35] o.O
[18:30] <BarkingFish> [21:42:48] no Ottava we're not. You're safe :)
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [21:42:57] ..For now!
[18:30] <BarkingFish> [21:43:39] PeterSymonds: All I remember was that he was on a 92.x.x.x range from Three Mobile broadband, and we had one join #wikinews, which is why I was looking for it.
[18:30] <BarkingFish> [21:43:58] if he shows up here, he may be under the nickname Halo
[18:30] <PeterSymonds> [21:44:02] 92. covers a large chunk of Britain.
[18:30] <Ottava> [21:49:35] http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/springfield-news/ohio-edison-tower-blasted-falls-wrong-way-999816.html

[19:34] <Chaoticfluffy_> THE HORROR
[19:34] <Thorncrag|w> MuZemike: I think the problems with RfA are symptomatic of the general problem of the defined role of administrators, first
[19:35] <Peter-C> Chaoticfluffy_ WE HAVE NO PURPOSE!
[19:35] <MuZemike> Well, which came first, the chicken or the egg?
[19:35] <Peter-C> </High School ref>
 06[19:35] * Chaoticfluffy_ thinks the trouble with RFA is people having really strange, restrictive requirements
[19:35] <Thorncrag|w> for instance, you often hear people arguing that administrators have no authority or power, which demonstrates that they don't understand the meaning of either term
 06[19:35] * Peter-C tosses a cross at MuZemike
[19:35] <Peter-C> GOD
[19:35] <Peter-C> Now go pray to that Jesus guy
[19:36] <Chaoticfluffy_> MuZemike is not god, no matter what he might have tried to convince you of
[19:36] <MuZemike> i.e. Is it the community's fault for making RFA as it is, or is it the admins who anger the community who in return makes RFA the problem as it is?
[19:36] <sonia> It has been a natural progression, I think.

 06[19:36] * Chaoticfluffy_ throws a POV fork at the POV fork
[19:37] <Peter-C> I think people have the idea that you must meet tough regulations to be an admin on such a popular site
[19:37] <sonia> but as the population grows, and external recognition does, suddenly the structure of the community does mean something.
[19:37] <Peter-C> because you could do some serious damage
[19:37] <sonia> or at least, it is regarded as meaning something.
[19:37] <Peter-C> But it shouldn't be silly things
[19:37] <sonia> define silly.
[19:37] <IDoH> like your edit count? or whether or not there are too many admins? or too many anti-vandal admins?
[19:37] <Peter-C> "If they forget edit sums they must be a vandal"
[19:38] <Chaoticfluffy_> i'm sure people genuinely think that if you haven't written 10 FAs, you can't function as an admin. But I'm also sure that some people believe super-weird things
[19:38] <IDoH> Uhmmm....no.

[21:11] <Ottava> The Thing, you dont know my IP by now?
[21:11] <Ottava> o.O
[21:11] <The_Thing> Ottava: I assume you didn't get any of my messages
[21:12] <Ottava> My internet kicked out following FT2 saying "But in the community's eyes"
[21:12] <The_Thing> oh
[21:12] <The_Thing> Ottava: Did you see my block? :P
[21:12] <The_Thing> My alternate account got blocked for edits that I made several days before the block... The crime? Tagging pages with TW that included attacks in the page names.
[21:12] <The_Thing> Which where then repeated in the edit summaries of the notifications that Twinkle made to the creators
[21:12] <FT2> <FT2> But in the community;'s eyes, the vast majority of those not overturned, are
[21:12] <FT2> <FT2> and the community's criteria may not match yours or some users, or the blocked user,. But may still be the community's view insofar as it's made one clear.
[21:12] <Ottava> The Thing - so you did nothing wrong
[21:12] <FT2> (with typo corrected)
[21:12] <Ottava> The community overturned my last three blocks yet ArbCom ignored that in their findings
[21:13] <The_Thing> For all intents and purposes, yes
[21:13] <Ottava> so the community's opinion matters little
[21:13] <Ottava> "22:39, 5 September 2009 Chillum (talk | contribs) unblocked "Ottava Rima (talk | contribs)" ? (Gwen, sorry but consensus seems against this block, Ottava please don't take this as permission for future disruption)"
[21:14] <Ottava> "# 21:09, 9 October 2009 GrahamColm (talk | contribs) unblocked "Ottava Rima (talk | contribs)" ? (No consensus on this) "
[21:14] <Ottava> Not at all in the findings against me
[21:14] <Dragonfly6-7> [[User:Whoop whoop pull up/Wikipedia III: Revenge of Jimbo]] - most amusing
[21:14] <Ottava> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Ottava_Rima_restrictions#Ottava_Rima.27s_history
[21:14] <Ottava> "Ottava Rima's editorship has been punctuated by repeated disputes and blocks [5], with a lengthy gap in the latter between July 2008 and September 2009."
[21:14] <Ottava> here was no "lengthy gap"
[21:14] <FT2> The unblock by chillum seems to confirm there was disruption. Just not consensus to block for it. Is that correct?
[21:14] <Ottava> those blocks were all overturned
[21:14] <Ottava> the unblock by Chillum was him admitting he was wrong
[21:14] <FT2> But seriously
[21:15] <The_Thing> And you wanna know his block summary?
[21:15] <The_Thing> * 15:55, November 3, 2010 Jehochman (talk | contribs) unblocked "The sock that should not be (talk | contribs)" ? (Disruption was unintentional, and will not be repeated)
[21:15] <The_Thing> * 15:05, November 3, 2010 Jehochman (talk | contribs) changed block settings for The sock that should not be (talk | contribs) with an expiry time of indefinite (account creation blocked, autoblock disabled) ? (Disruptive editing: flooding watchlist with inappropriate messages)
[21:15] <The_Thing> * 14:58, November 3, 2010 Jehochman (talk | contribs) blocked The sock that should not be (talk | contribs) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of indefinite ? (Disruptive editing: flooding watchlist with inappropriate messages)
[21:15] <Ottava> Jehochman has a history of jumping the gun
[21:15] <The_Thing> Flooding watchlists my ass...
[21:15] <FT2> I would be interested if, instead of speculation, someone took the first 100 blocks in a random day (tomorrow?) and analyzed them for whether or not they seemed justified and why
[21:15] <FT2> it would be useful to base a debate on evidence.
[21:15] <Chzz> FT2   I'd like to see that for CSD too :p
[21:16] <Ottava> That wouldnt be fair, FT2, as many are IPs being blocked for spamming "penis"
[21:16] <FT2> then those are valid blocks, and not "purely political" no?
[21:16] <FT2> which kind should it be narrowed down to?
[21:16] <Ottava> They wouldnt county as blocks
[21:16] <FT2> they are in the block lofg
[21:16] <Ottava> The blocks of regular users
[21:16] <FT2> so they are blocks?
[21:16] <FT2> how regular?
[21:16] <The_Thing> and Jehochman said my block was just to get my attention
[21:16] <Ottava> Look at the Fat Man's block log
[21:16] <FT2> autoconfirmed or more?
[21:16] <The_Thing> I mean, what the fuck?... post a message on my talk page to get my attention
[21:16] <Ottava> You could narrow it down to content editors

[21:19] <FT2> ok. So here's an experiment. If we asked someone with database access to pick us the first 50 blocks tomorrow, of users with 50 or more mainspace edits
[21:19] <Ottava> 25% article, 10% talk page
[21:19] <FT2> that would be a decent sample
 06[21:19] * Peter-C licks Soxred93
[21:19] <Dragonfly6-7> ah, h ello
[21:19] <Ottava> sounds like fun
[21:19] <FT2> how would it be decided if the blocks were "fair"
[21:19] <Ottava> Hey Ashlee
[21:19] <Ottava> oh wait
[21:19] <Ottava> ;/
[21:20] <Ottava> We could do it by popular consent and discussion in chat
[21:20] <Ottava> have someone chose to be advocate for the block and advocate against
[21:20] <Ottava> and make the arguments
[21:20] <Ottava> then have people say if they agree or not
[21:20] <Peter-C> Soxred93 - around?
[21:20] <FT2> that's likely to be as open to bias as any other self-slect group.
[21:20] <FT2> it might show why a concern exists, but could easily be biased
[21:21] <Ottava> bias will always exist
[21:21] <FT2> and would never be seen as objective
[21:21] <FT2> is there a better way
[21:21] <Ottava> but when you have more people the extremes level out
[21:21] <Ottava> look at a bell chart
[21:21] <FT2> yes

[21:22] <FT2> the community's supposed to do that. What if the blocks were placed in a poll, and users invited to examine the blocks and vote for each - justified/unjustified/unsure, or community clearly agreed, community clearly didnt agree, unsure
 03[21:22] * Jacnoc (~Jacnoc@Jacnoc.is.my.username.on.the.english-Wikipedia.co.cc) has joined #wikipedia-en
[21:22] <FT2> is there a way to test any speculation about it in an objective manner
[21:22] <Ottava> they could just remove blocks in general except for vandalism
[21:22] <Ottava> that would make too much sense
[21:22] <FT2> ok
[21:22] <Peter-C> Soxred93 I need love and attention
[21:22] <FT2> narrower, doesnt hrt
[21:22] <FT2> and vandalism is a good one
[21:23] <FT2> it has a very clear definition

[21:23] <FT2> and gets abused now and then (by users claiming "Vandalism" when others disagree)
[21:23] <FT2> so its a much more objective one to test
[21:23] <Ktr101> yea!
[21:23] <Ottava> There are many users that do outrageous things that arent blocked and others that do almost nothing and are blocked
[21:23] <FT2> indeed. The question is, the ones who get blocked, did they do something
[21:24] <FT2> is it clear or not they did

[21:24] <Ottava> Moreschi posted up large copy and pastes of my religion column without approval on Wikipedia and outed me while saying I was insane because I am religious. My religion had nothing to do with the matter, nor did I ever bring it on Wiki, or give him the right to post my copyrighted work or out me
[21:24] <Ottava> no block
[21:25] <FT2> the question posed isn't "do users sometimes do things they should be blocked for, but no block happens"
[21:25] <Ottava> That is something that unquestionable results in a block
[21:25] <Ottava> there is no "uh oh, my bad"
[21:25] <Ottava> that is a bright line block
[21:25] <Ottava> and it didnt happen
[21:25] <FT2> it's more the concern you gave about "block logs are used purely for political games in order for non writers to bully and dominate those who deserve to be on top based on productivity"
[21:25] <FT2> to test that we would need to look at users who are blocked, and see if thgose are valid blocks
[21:26] <Ottava> I was blocked for asking Jimbo if Chillum saying he was on acid on his user page was acceptable
[21:26] <FT2> a simple test would be this (based on the above)
[21:26] <Ottava> those two happened around the same time
[21:26] <FT2> pick a random date in advance
[21:26] <Ottava> Jimbo even stated that Chillum's edit was inappropriate
[21:26] <Ottava> so obviously the block function wasn't being used properly
[21:27] <FT2> pick the first 50 blocks on or after that day (UTC) per the block log, which were done to users with 50+ mainspace edits, 25% mainspace edits and 10% article talk edits, for supposed "vandalism"
[21:27] <FT2> look at the evidence and see if they did vandalize
[21:27] <Ottava> Lets do the first 50 blocks of today
[21:27] <FT2> would that work?
[21:27] <FT2> that's what we have so far
[21:27] <Ottava> Just find someone with toolserv access
[21:28] <Ottava> But you have to admit, when you were blocked that was political
[21:28] <FT2> not sure there will be 50 such blocks today
[21:28] <Ottava> and I even pointed that out when I responded to the block of you
[21:28] <FT2> pick the first 50 in (say) October
[21:28] <FT2> that way it's guaranteed
[21:28] <FT2> yes. But did you notice what happened
[21:28] <FT2> I didnt say a word
[21:29] <FT2> and the community saw that and fixed it, and dealt wqith the political blocker
[21:29] <Ottava> Not really
[21:29] <FT2> I didnt have to get upset or take it personally or anything
[21:29] <Ottava> The community turned against you
[21:29] <Ottava> I was in the minority defending you
[21:30] <Chzz> WoW
 06[21:30] * Chaoticfluffy_ feels like she ought to have popped some popcorn in preparation for this conversation
[21:30] <Ottava> Chzz - World of Wiki
[21:30] <Chzz> mmm, that's what I mean
[21:30] <Chzz> it's really really REALLY not worth bothering about
[21:31] <Chzz> well, if you wanna play, sure, go for it
[21:31] <Chzz> otherwise though; meh; WP:FUCK and move along, etc
[21:31] <Ottava> Chzz - it gets in the way of people just wanting to work on articles
[21:31] <MuZemike> Ottava, what about Giano again? 9_9
[21:31] <Ottava> Look at Malleus, he is chased after all the time
[21:31] <Ottava> Giano chases after people so he isn't defendable
[21:31] <Chzz> sure
[21:32] <Chzz> g'luck to 'em
[21:32] <Chzz> but if you don't take the bait, and just wander off, you're untouchable
[21:32] <MuZemike> Wiki-ambulance chasers
[21:32] <Ottava> Chzz - look at the Persian Empire page. Folantin turned it into a redirect 7 times, and three RfCs said that it was wrong to do
[21:32] <FT2> I didn't take it personally or comment. The community was in an ugly mood and that was for many reasons.
[21:32] <Ottava> you can't just wander off from that
[21:33] <Ottava> Trolls go after content and destroy a lot of it
[21:33] <Chzz> Ottava so, fuck it; go back to it in about 5 years or so, fix it later. Who cares?
[21:33] <Ottava> 5 years?
[21:33] <Ottava> Dude
[21:33] <Chzz> yeah
[21:33] <Ottava> 5 years means 5 years of kids not having it
[21:33] <Chzz> and trolls do not destroy content
[21:33] <Ottava> That doesnt fly
[21:33] <Chzz> it's in the history
[21:33] <Ottava> average readers dont look in histories

[21:34] <Ottava> Many of my articles are used by students in college
[21:34] <FT2> Ottava.  In part that block was for blocking one of the blocker's close wiki-friends for 31 hours for some kind of disruption earlier in the year.
[21:34] <FT2> I knew it, so did everyone.
[21:34] <Ottava> if they are destroyed or removed, that is years of kids not having it
[21:34] <FT2> That's why it didn't matter.

[21:34] <FT2> but anyhow
[21:34] <Chzz> doesn't matter a damn, in the scale of things
[21:34] <Ottava> FT2 - it did matter as politics do have power
[21:34] <Chzz> but yeah
[21:34] <Chzz> meh
[21:34] <Ottava> Chzz - with that philosophy Wiki doesnt matter as we all die
[21:34] <Ottava> Stop being a nihilist
[21:34] <FT2> Ottava - I don't do politics. Time tends to show what's so and what isn't.
[21:34] <Chzz> nah, fuck it
[21:35] <Chzz> there are things in this world that are awful
[21:35] <Ottava> Chzz - never become an artist
[21:35] <Chzz> live with it
[21:35] <FT2> it doesn't take gaming to prove someone's right or wrong.
[21:35] <Chzz> you can't fix 'em all; sure, try to fix some
[21:35] <FT2> just honesty
[21:35] <Ottava> My live is based around making things better, not accepting the flaws
[21:35] <Chzz> but don't get hung up on just one of 'em
[21:35] <Ottava> life*
[21:35] <Chzz> there are other things worth worrying about, besides one minor bit of crap on Wikipedia
[21:35] <Ottava> Chzz, why are you even here then?
[21:36] <Ottava> If you have that view, you'd do better not even bothering with Wiki
[21:36] <Chzz> mostly, to say 'hi' to ppl wot I know. Also, 'coz I might write some stuff, one day, if I feel like it. And to check on messages; I do kinda check back on things; I have the old-fashioned sense about wanting to reply to people
[21:37] <Chzz> and, because every so often, I help people make Wikipedia a little bit better
[21:37] <Chzz> and as long as it's heading generally the right way - albeit via a very circuitous route - that's groovy
[21:37] <OlEnglish> you've done a lot of good chzz
[21:37] <OlEnglish> for wikipedia
[21:38] <Chzz> it's taken me a hell of a long time to realise that it really REALLY doesn't matter

[21:39] <Ottava> Im an Academic
[21:39] <Ottava> my reasons are far different
[21:39] <Ottava> I dont see this as a place to make friends and play games

[21:43] <Ottava> Malleus is a good guy
[21:43] <Ottava> and no one is currently working on them
[21:43] <Ottava> mostly because they were mine
[21:43] <Chzz> yes, well; I tried
[21:43] <Ottava> Chzz, you gave up :P
[21:43] <Chzz> people then accused me of various things, so, meh
[21:43] <Chaoticfluffy_> Malleus is rather more prone to screaminess than I like my coeditors to be

[21:50] <Ottava> These are in the top 10 poems

[22:07] <Chzz> D&D isn't an 'amazing poem' by any means; it's the early equivelent of writing a song cvalled "Fuck the police" - designed to 'shock'; there's nothing clever about it. It's simplistic; the allegories are school-boy-level; there is no substance
[22:07] <Chzz> at 11:11 tomorrow, it'll be read out; but, it's poo
[22:07] <Ottava> :(
[22:07] <Chzz> *today - eep.
[22:07] <Ottava> I think it is great but it does not deserve to be read on 11/11
[22:07] <Ottava> It is an anti war poem
[22:08] <Chzz> it's the antithesis of 11/11
[22:08] <Chzz> it's saying what a load of utter, pointless shite 'war' is, in general
[22:08] <Ottava> http://www.englishverse.com/poems/the_soldier
[22:08] <Ottava> Now that is patriotism
[22:08] <Ottava> IF I should die, think only this of me:
[22:08] <Ottava>     That there's some corner of a foreign field
[22:08] <Ottava> That is forever England. There shall be
[22:08] <Ottava>     In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
[22:08] <Ottava> A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
[22:08] <Ottava>     Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
[22:08] <Ottava> A body of England's, breathing English air,
[22:08] <Ottava>     Washed by the rivers, blest by the suns of home.
[22:08] <Ottava> And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
[22:08] <Ottava>     A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
[22:08] <Ottava>         Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
[22:08] <Ottava> Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
[22:08] <Ottava>     And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
[22:08] <Ottava>         In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
[22:08] <Ottava> That poem makes me want to serve the Crown
[22:08] <MuZemike> God save the Queen
[22:08] <Chzz> sure; fair enough
[22:09] <Chzz> but...well, that's just about war

[22:10] <Ottava> 11/11 was when the war ended and the heroes were honored

[22:10] <Chzz> so, getting your legs blown off in Afghanistan 'protecting your nation' is, in some measurable way, 'better' than dying of a heart-attack after spending all your years researching sausages?
[22:10] <Chzz> why?
[22:10] <Chzz> glorification of war
[22:10] <MuZemike> And sadly, the Vikings are 3-5 and with no chance of going to the playoff.s
[22:10] <Chzz> bullshit
[22:10] <Ottava> Tolstoy's War and Peace - Napoleon stands above Bolkonsky's body as he lays there after making a charge with the Russian flag. He looks down. He says, "Now that is a good death".
[22:11] <Ottava> One of the best moments in literature
[22:11] <Ottava> Not everyone gets their legs blown off
[22:11] <Ottava> Very few people do
[22:11] <Ottava> and the prince served in Afghanistan
[22:11] <Ottava> so don't give any of that anti war bs
[22:11] <Ottava> and yes, dying after doing nothing is worthless
[22:11] <MuZemike> Chzz: Who said Veterans' Day was about glorifying the war?
[22:12] <geniice> war doesn't need  glorifying it just is
[22:12] <MuZemike> And even if so, it's human nature to engage in war.
[22:12] <Chzz> MuZemike so why do we clap at the poor bastards with legs missing?   We don't give a flying fuck about the nurses that worked 50-hour shifts to help 'em get walking again
[22:12] <Ottava> As Pink Floyd said - did you trade a walk on part in the war for the lead role in a steel cage
[22:12] <Ottava> Peace is prison
[22:12] <Ottava> It is dead end
[22:12] <Ottava> worthless
[22:12] <FT2> The more profound question is, who is qualified to judge the value of a human life that's been lived
[22:12] <Ottava> be a man, go out and serve your nation, attain something higher
[22:13] <geniice> Ottava Peace is awesome it gives you time to rearm
[22:13] <Ottava> geniice :P
[22:13] <Chzz> They actually clapped today
[22:13] <FT2> Ottava, Chzz - would you consider anyone else competent to place a value (comparative or absolute) on your life?
[22:13] <Chzz> there was a parade; in Congleton, England
[22:13] <geniice> nation have no place in war
[22:13] <FT2> thats the deeper question.
[22:13] <MuZemike> Even Mao believed in the need to fight wars.
[22:13] <Chzz> and when the legless guys went past...they actually fucking clapped
[22:13] <geniice> war should be pure tribe agaist tribe amoung consenting adults
[22:14] <Ottava> I would clap for anyone willing to go out and sacrifice for one's country
[22:14] <Ottava> they are much greater than the punks burning down buildings in London
[22:14] <FT2> anyone?
[22:14] <Ottava> because their tuition increased
[22:14] <Ottava> boooooo
[22:14] <FT2> without question?
[22:14] <Ottava> hoooooooooooooooo
[22:14] <Ottava> not your tuition!
[22:14] <Ottava> punks
[22:14] <FT2> no matter whjat they did, what their country asked of them, what type of country iot was?
[22:14] <FT2> probabloy not
[22:14] <FT2> the statement assumes a lot about country and cause, I think;.
[22:15] <geniice> the statment assumes a lot about winning
[22:15] <Ottava> A man proves himself through sacrifice, through honor, through dedication, and through service
[22:15] <MuZemike> Similar to here in the U.S., in which the Federal government partially funds some colleges who wholly reject anything military.
[22:15] <FT2> and sometimes
[22:15] <MuZemike> That makes no sense.
[22:15] <geniice> Ottava no a man proves himself through winning
[22:15] <Chzz> Ottava  does that mean you'd applaud the 9/11 bombers, who also sacrificed their lives for their country?
[22:15] <Ottava> geniice - a good lose is better than a bad win
[22:15] <Ottava> Roland, for instance
[22:15] <FT2> a man (or woman, or any other person), proves trhemselves by quiet acts that nobody notices, by things they didn't do but could have, by inner qualities.
[22:15] <FT2> don't forget those
[22:15] <Ottava> He died servicing his king and doing his duty
[22:16] <MuZemike> (Devil's advocate) Mission Accomplished
[22:16] <Ottava> Chzz - the 9/11 bombers were cowards who hid in the shadows
[22:16] <Ottava> they didn't openly serve
[22:16] <geniice> Ottava however think how much better he would have done if he had overthrown the king and got other people to die for him
[22:16] <Chzz> Ottava oh, and the army do not hide in the shadows?
[22:16] <Chzz> They don't use appropriate tactics?
[22:16] <Chzz> hah
[22:16] <FT2> were they? By their lights they sacrificed themselves for their beliefs and people. Personally I think it was a ghastly thing to do, but calling them "cowards" is mistaken.
[22:17] <Ottava> Chzz, are you trying to honestly compare the military with the 9/11 terrorists?
[22:17] <Ottava> o.O
[22:17] <geniice> Chzz well no. How many wars involve ICBMs? everything else is just messing around
 06[22:17] * MuZemike smells bacon
[22:17] <Ottava> FT2 - they didn't sacrifice themselves, they sacrificed others
[22:17] <MuZemike> Oh wait, that was just Rosie O'Donnell
[22:17] <FT2> in the eyes of their opeople - not ours - they sacrificed, they gained and brought honor, they were dedicated and they served to death.
[22:17] <Chzz> "servicing his king"   is that the droit de deigneur?  hehe
[22:17] <FT2> they meet all the criteria except one
[22:17] <Ottava> suicide bombers are not the masterminds
[22:17] <FT2> They were murderers of the innocent
[22:17] <FT2> and that wipes it all out
[22:17] <geniice> FT2 decent kill ratio but still ended up dead
[22:18] <MuZemike> Nah, it's OK to murder thousands of innocent lives.
[22:18] <geniice> MuZemike only if you win
[22:18] <MuZemike> Besides, every nation has been doing just that for ages, anyways.
[22:18] <MuZemike> And it's not just us/
[22:19] <FT2> point is, "serving" is value neutral and outward. it ignores qualities that are inward, and moral value (however that's assessed)
[22:19] <MuZemike> The communists are guilty of the same thing.
[22:19] <FT2> that's why I could not agree that mere service to the group a person happens by chance to be bourne into, is the measure of a life.
[22:19] <FT2> it can be
[22:19] <MuZemike> FT2: What are you talking about? I thought every U.S. soldier inherently supports the Bush administration.
[22:19] <Ottava> FT2 - sitting on a couch while cramming your face with potato chips and just getting fatter and fatter is a value far less than someone who does something
[22:19] <FT2> but it's not the definition of it
[22:19] <Chzz> soldiers with their legs blown off aren't fucking 'masterminds' either

[22:24] <Ottava> the two marine snipers gave up their life protecting a downed pilot
[22:24] <MuZemike> George S. Patton comes to mind.
[22:24] <geniice> Ottava Mogadishu was a classic case of why logistics and fire support are important
[22:24] <Ottava> they were incredibly brave
[22:25] <Ottava> They fought off over 90 people before they were overrun
[22:25] <Ottava> and they just had their rifles and pistols
[22:25] <geniice> Ottava no they were  incredibly stupid. They were following orders that made no sense
[22:25] <Ottava> just to save a fellow pilot
[22:25] <Ottava> they didnt follow orders
[22:25] <Ottava> they rejected the orders
[22:25] <Ottava> they knew the pilot would be ripped apart so they went down
[22:25] <geniice> did they or did they not take part in an attack on Mogadishu without proper numbers or fire support?
[22:26] <Ottava> they didnt
[22:26] <Ottava> Mogadishu was a defense
[22:26] <MuZemike> The two Rangers who received the Medal of Honor disregarded orders and descended down to the mob to fend them off to help rescue that downed pilot.,
[22:26] <Ottava> not an offense
[22:26] <Ottava> Rangers?
[22:26] <Ottava> okay, I said marines
[22:26] <MuZemike> They were Rangers, I believe.
[22:26] <Dragonfly6-7> PPPPPP
[22:26] <Dragonfly6-7> Proper Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance
[22:26] <geniice> MuZemike however if they had been sensible they would have told high command to get knotted untill they got decent supples of artillery and air support
[22:27] <MuZemike> Well, the whole mission there went to shit from the beginning.
[22:27] <Peter-C> geniice - They didn't anticipate what came out of it - they had enough fire support for what the main objective but not enough for what happened
[22:27] <Ottava> geniice - there were no decent supplies because Clinton wouldnt bring ships nearby
[22:27] <Ottava> he denied it was happening
[22:27] <FT2> somewhere there will be a hutu who got a medal for killing tutsi, and one who got no medal for refusing to serve their people and kill tutsi. Which one's a hero, the one who served or the one who stayed at home and didn't.
[22:27] <Ottava> I became a Republican because of Mogadishu, fyi
[22:27] <Peter-C> Although on a random note - all of them had bullets that were 3 bucks a pop
[22:27] <FT2> it's not as simple as heroics.
[22:28] <Dragonfly6-7> war is an unstoppable tide of hate
[22:28] <geniice> Ottava my understanding is that modern submarine launched ICBMs can be luanched from pretty much anywhere. The troops wouldn't even have been there if bush sr had had any guts
[22:29] <Ottava> geniice - ICBMs cant pinpoint target a city filled with drugged out gun totting thugs

[22:29] <Submarine> geniice, Where do you propose launching ICBMs?
[22:29] <MuZemike> Sergeant First Class [[Randy Shughart]] and Master Sergeant [[Gary Gordon]] posthumously received the Medal of Honor for their efforts in the Battle of Mogadishu in saving a downed Black Hawk pilot.
[22:29] <Ottava> look a the missle mess in the Balkans
[22:29] <geniice> Ottava  "too much collateral damage"? This is war
[22:29] <Ottava> geniice - the UN had a base in the city
[22:30] <geniice> is there a shortage of UN bases?

[22:30] <Ottava> that doesnt tend to help morale
[22:30] <geniice> part of the glory of war is that you don't mess around. The inocent bystander of my enermy is my enermy
[22:30] <MuZemike> Why? The communists did.
[22:31] <Cyrius> glory? pfft.
[22:31] <geniice> Cyrius you are suggesting that multinational nuclear exchanges are not glourious?
[22:31] <Dragonfly6-7> Communism is a very nice idea. It just doesn't work.
[22:31] <Cyrius> yes, I am suggesting that they are not
[22:31] <la_pianista> I left earlier and the talk was commies.
[22:31] <MuZemike> But it's such a great idea that it *must* work!
[22:31] <la_pianista> I'm back, and it's still commies.

[22:33] <Submarine> geniice, You are being pusillanimous.
[22:33] <la_pianista> In other news, the prof has made one more off-color comment.
[22:33] <FT2> Most countries even now, war is a lot more directr
[22:33] <la_pianista> "Mozart...it's suave and elegant. Just like you."
[22:33] <FT2> kill, disable, media, and no limits
[22:33] <Peter-C> :O
[22:33] <FT2> it ws that way in the past in most countries if not all.

[22:34] <geniice> Submarine I'm applying reducto absurdium to Ottava's position
[22:34] <FT2> we sit in a country that's privilkeged for that not to be the case so much. But best remember it is how many do see it.

[22:36] <Ottava> Hell, my Burgundian ancestors were nasty chaps when it came to battle
[22:36] <geniice> remeber guys when you set fire to the protest sign you are meant to put it down
[22:37] <barts1a> yeah... holding a flaming object can be detrimental to your well-being
[22:37] <Ottava> I am disgusted that "peace activists" are the ones burning down and destroying civilian buildings
[22:38] <geniice> also they need to work on the rioting:
[22:38] <geniice> http://www.flickr.com/photos/thelostboy/5165068261/
[22:38] <barts1a> and "Peaceful" protests always manage to turn violent
[22:38] <barts1a> it's all because of one idiot and crowd mentality
[22:38] <geniice> barts1a nah most of the union ones are pretty boring
[22:39] <geniice> in fact most protests are peaceful they just don't get reproted
[22:39] <FT2> Want a topical question. Try this for ethics. The war on terror has cost (we're told) $1 trillion. A thousand billion. I don't know what that includes or how accurate it is, but okay. Suppose we had gone to those countries and said "we'll give your country free and gratis, $1 bn now, and $2 billion each and every month in the next 20 years that there is peace, split between all major
[22:39] <FT2> factions so all benefit, and the condition is that all factions get it, or none do."  And suppose by a miracle, we had gained peace by doing so. Would that have been erthical and valid as an approach?
[22:40] <FT2> Just curious.
[22:40] <Ottava> Universal Health Care costs more than the war on terror
[22:40] <Ottava> that is scary
[22:40] <Ottava> nukes, stealth fighters, etc
[22:40] <barts1a> it's only the ones where one idiot manages to lead a crowd of protestors into violent behavour like a pack of sheep into a pen that get reported on... usually
[22:40] <Ottava> all less expensive than idiots wanting useless pills
[22:40] <Submarine> FT2, King Henry IV of France, when he wanted to conquer territory, before launching into a costly war, tended to try to bribe leaders into submission.
[22:41] <barts1a> Ottavia: it would cost a lot less if they could hurry up and develop that Nanosuit like in Crysis!
[22:41] <Ottava> omg yes barts1a
[22:41] <Ottava> Im still waiting for Gundams
[22:41] <Submarine> FT2, This way, and also by winning battles, he put an end to the Wars of Religion.
[22:42] <FT2> so it's worked in the past?
[22:42] <geniice> barts1a not even a pack. If you look at the pics of a violent protest look for the one where they got the camera anges wrong and showed that it was acutaly a tiny group sorounded by camera
[22:42] <geniice> s
[22:42] <geniice> FT2 err yes afganistan 2001
[22:43] <geniice> FT2 heck for 1 trillion you don't even need to bribe them into being peaceful. you just make them too rich to want to fight
[22:43] <Ottava> geniice, you are never too rich to want to fight
[22:43] <Submarine> FT2, The idea is to bribe the leaders into retirement.
[22:43] <barts1a> usually they will end up nuking us with our money instead of calling a truce
[22:43] <geniice> Submarine doesn't work these days there are always more leaders
[22:44] <geniice> barts1a why spend money on nukes when you can spend it on effeminate boys?
[22:44] <barts1a> or on healthcare
[22:44] <Submarine> geniice, Henry IV, once the local leaders were bribed into retirement, established his own leadership, of course. :-)
[22:46] <geniice> remeber best to stick to one protest at a time http://www.flickr.com/photos/klarikah/5164871709/
[22:46] <geniice> wait what? http://www.flickr.com/photos/wobblyturkey/5165476222/
[22:47] <FT2> It's not a strictly valid comparison. The money spent in the war on terror largely circulates in the same economy - the US govt pays US soldiers, US military suppliers, US oil companies for fuel, etc.
[22:47] <FT2> Paying a different country is a straight loss
[22:47] <FT2> s9o it's not strictly comparable
