- "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?
He can often be found late at night making long chains of minor edits to template pages. Derik doesn't do this at night to be considerate to other people- he just likes to delude himself into thinking he can do something quickly before going to bed, and then skips sleep.
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.
To-Do List
- Immediate Goals
- Send in that timesheet to Pat Hamilton
- 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.)
- Pick up new replacement power source on e-bay.
- BT
- MO04
- CS3
- AF
- AE
- Mid-Term Goals
- Abstract for Maddie's college-search site.
- Lifegoals
- Preach the gospel of Yakitate!! Japan
- Find gayer userpic
- Wiki
- Finish Chain of Command summary.
- Deep Think
- Top-level banner for declaring a page 'completionist' as of a date because it covers every single thing about that episode/story/character? How to make when a new info makes a page no-longer-complete? In general, how do we prioritize people's attention to things? 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.
- Define what 'English language Wiki' means re: our policy about what we will/won't link to on onr external links pages. I.e. translated manga are fine, marvel comcis scans are not (not that you can find them anymore) unless they've never been collected, we dont' link tot he BW eps on YouTube, etc. Maybe two seperate policy sections, english-language, and external links/resources, maybe even a attitude-towards-piracy section. (I probably shouldn't write that though because... me.)
- Items in need of translation front-pagery?
- Meta
- 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.)
- Simple Tasks
- 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.
- Titan Magazines comic 'overall' page.
- Prelude: Optimus Prime
- Do the retouch on that God Neptune art. (2-3 hours)
- Scan and catalog covers to my other JP guides.
Derik's Resources

Wikimedia Resources
- en.Wikipedia.org main CSS file

- monobook/main.css To execute changes ask Suki Brits, since Walky is baffled by CSS.
- Wiki Parser Functions
- Wiki Table Markup
Backing up the Wiki
Database backups are very large, so always right-click save-as these links. (Waiting on an answer here)
- Current Revision - Current version of all pages (~20mb of text as of 7-7-07)
- Full History All pages, all versions past & present. (~300mb as of 7-7-07)
- Images - All images (and other media like oggs I think...) in TAR format. (Surprisingly only ~630mb as of 7-7-07)
