Cleanup cat doesn't seem to be resulting in cleanup taking place.  (This may become less of a problem as the holes in the wiki disappear and the precieved lack becomes less pressing- right now peopel are throwign themselves onto gaps like an armed grenade with no tim for ''cleanup'' of articles already written.)  "Articles in need of expansion"? Dangerous.
* A PHP script to scan through the image on the wiki and list which of them have no copyright info, or copyright year and put them in a category?  (A low-effort improvement drive, but an important one, from a legal standpoint.)
* [[World of the Transformers]] page
* Point one of our aspiring list-makes ar the [[2007]] page and make him fill in the toy section.
* Do a [[1984]] page like the 2007 page. The BW-years would be easiest after this.
* {{storylink|Prelude: Optimus Prime}}
* Titan Magazines comic 'overall' page.
* Call Lutzwick about prescription
* Check TRU for Amar, mail that wrong power source back to supplier.  (Print e-bay communication for context since they provided no invoice.)
* Abstract for Maddie's college-search site.
* Do the retouch on that God Neptune art.  (2-3 hours)
* Scan and catalog covers to my other JP guides.
* Items in need of translation front-pagery?

Revision as of 23:21, 6 September 2007

"Objective journalism is one of the main reasons American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long. You can't be objective about Nixon." - H.S. Thompson

Derik talks a good game, but he's really a big softy that goes all squooshy inside at the sight of kittens or Emo Boys kissing.

They're not just doing it for attention!

Derik can't spell woth a danm. Did you know Mozilla 2.0 has MS Word-style spell check on textarea boxes?


Feel free to yell at him on AIM: ReGenesis0

Things not to message Derik about: (culled from actual conversation)

  • "I just sent an e-mail to the executive producer telling him what he needs to do better."
  • "Did you delete my post?"
  • "I had drunken sex with another dude at a furry convention in Canada, what do I do?"

He's also apparently a Mut-Org, whatever the hell that is.

Episode article style

Do we have a definative established style for the episode entries? Lately I've been editing the Armada ones to reflect the look of the new G1 episode articles. Also, I think the RID episodenav looks abit cluttered and would rather if it was just 'Preceeded by [episode number and name/link] Suceeded by [episode number and name/link]. --FFN 02:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Cluttered in what manner? 'prev episode' and 'next episode' being too close together? I agree they could use some air. -Derik 06:44, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, they were abit too close together. Needed to be more clearly seperated.

Re: Pics from other sites

If you admittedly borrow pics from other sites, particularly if its their own photography, please leave a link to the site on the image's page, just for some consistency when we wiki users borrow pics. --FFN 06:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Don't just credit, link, gotcha.
I appreciate the tangley ethical implications, and I try to avoid gloming others' pictures unless there's a compelling reason for it- especially TFU since their pictures are their content to a greater degree. In this case they had just the angle on Blastcharge I needed.  ;-) -Derik 06:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
