New Wikipeelia thread.

Neat title. :)
-
You broke it!
-
Pah. That is not the phonetic spelling I learned in my interpreting & translating courses.
-
I love the title. :D
-
So why is there no entry for Sil?
There should be some info on our resident female light-saber owning Jedi.
Like, is it true that Sil is the forgotten daughter of Luke and Leia and she was raised by a herd of Wookies?
We gotta know.

Um...Forgotten daughter of Luke and Leia?

It's a part that we'd all like to forget. Luke and Leia kissed during the original Star Wars and had a child. When they later learned that they were brother and sister, they silently shipped the newborn girl-child off with Chewbacca's family to get her out of the public eye. Leia being a Princess, she couldn't be accused of incest - otherwise the scandal would have destroyed the Rebel Alliance and given Darth Vader the chance to become the new leader using the "Family Values" platform.
You may have missed it - it was a part that Lucus rivised.*
*I hope you know that this is satire.

Incest is best.

hahaha, that's the first i thought of when i read it aswell

Sil now has an entry, it's up to you to populate it.
-
Wow, what a title.

Done!
-
ə is my favorite letter. And you used it!
That's a first, I believe. :)
-
I can't claim originality on the title - I believe Gopher suggested it in the last page of the previous thread. Also thank you for the wiki page ;) I don't have a clue how to do those things and in any case I wouldn't know what to write :)
-
i added a coupla things...
and a piccie on VF's entry... awww...

Throughout your entire PEEL career I cannot recall you mentioning having any kids of your own. I think I located yer problem.

that was a big BURN!

Well, they're aliens and procreate differently than humans.
Haven't any of you taken Exobiology?

According to all Expanded Universe sources, Luke and Leia are human, and would therefore reproduce in the same way as you and your own (undoubtedly lovely) wife.
-
Whose side are you on, tnuk?
-
BOO! THE THREAD TITLE SUCKS
>_>

No, they are simply an alien species that looks exactly like humans, and are also called humans.
I mean, they are are in a galaxy far, far away. Or they were. It depends on how long "a long time ago" is.
-
Well, then hhow about we drag some other science fiction novels into this, such as the countless ones that claim that an alien race biologically engineered the seed that started life on Earth to create us, humans, as copies of themselves. Assuming that "a long time ago" is a very long time ago, that race might have been the people from the Star Wars universe.
-
That's a stupid idea. How could they start with the first proto-cells knowing that the conditions would be exactly right for something like us to evolve?
-
Since Star Wars is already more science fantasy than science fiction, I'm not one to say that all those other books and movies make no sense in comparison.
-
Humans are adapted to earth. If you think about it, this planet is perfect for us. There is no way in a galaxy where long distance space travel is possible, that they could turn out like us. Since they live on completely different planets, with much different climats, and have the ability to move to others.
In short terms- I agree with wooter. Luke and Leia are not humans, just similar.
-
Nobody raised an eyebrow when it happened in Mission To Mars... I guess that's the seductive powers of Gary Sinise at work.
-
Well in Mission to Mars, the aliens didn't look exactly like us. Also the movie sucked.
-
True and true. But most people I've had the misfortune not to be able to avoid discussing it with seem to agree that the gangly dude in the face represented a human being a bunch of steps higher on the evolutionary ladder.
Also, CrapBag, I don't know why you think long distance space travel would have had that big an impact on the people of Star Wars. It's still a semi-recent invention compared to the time evolution needs to take its toll. I'm not assuming hyperspace jumps were possible immediately after life started crawling around on the planets in that galaxy.
But in the end, we all know this is all about Ralph not knowing how to reproduce, and no amount of pulp science fiction will rectify that solid fact.
-
Xanfor, I demand a small article that tells about my artwork and the rest will be an enigma... :p

Mammals are tasty.

Mammals are tasty only if battered, deep fried and placed next to the mashed potatoes.
am i the only one who knows about this and finds it creepy as hell?...
Yep.

I just added a ton of stuff to my page, but I couldn't add an external link with a space in it. The space is required for the link to work, is there any way to get around that?
-
Yes there is, but I'll be darned if I can remember the proper syntax or whatever... But until someone comes along who knows stuff about junk, rest assured that it will happen some day. You will get your spacy link.

I'm done! Entirely accurate and factual. :cool:
(You do live in the US, right?)
-
I must say, I love how the title looks in the General Discussion Board.
Also, I find myself adding random trivia to my page when ever I am on the thing now.
-
Pft, im way too lazy to make myself a page. wikimedia annoys me.
-
http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/JoshTheater (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/JoshTheater)
Would it be wrong to ask for advice on improving my page? :)
-
Haharrr, thankee to Bend-err, I'm back on form. Go check it out, if ya loike.
-
Also, question...I have a file I'm trying to upload that is 230508 bytes...I've looked at the file log and I see many files that are almost twice as large as that, but I'm not sure if those users who uploaded them had permission or the right of way or something. Will I get kicked off Wikipeelia if I upload it?
-
It shouldn't be kicking you. As far as I know Spiff allowed everyone to upload files.
-
Yes, but it's a file that exceeds the recommended file size. Does that change your answer?
-
Randi fought in the Battle of Endor? (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Randi)
Neat. How did she fit in the cockpit though?
Wooo!
-
Originally posted by JoshTheater:

No, like I said: Everyone is allowed to upload files. And like you said: There are already files twice as big as the one you want to upload.
Just try it, either it works, or it doesn't. You won't be kicked or banned.
-
:hugs Sil:
I know I missed the first page, but I don't care.
This is the first time my suggested title for a continuation thread has actually been used by another PEELer. Huzzah!
Ralph: Mammals are only good deep-fried? Not only do I disagree with that statement, I must say you clearly didn't think it through. What about cows? They are one of the most delicious of all mammals, and are almost never deep-fried.
Josh: I noticed when you created your article, but I left it alone as I tend to prioritize my WikiPEELia work a little, and PEELers who joined in the past month rank very, very low. Stick around and people'll add things to your page eventually. If you're impatient to improve it now, you can copy and paste an infobox from another article (just edit it and copy source). For the more savvy, you can also check out theWikiPEELia:Templates (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/WikiPEELia:Templates) article, which has links to the infobox templates as well as all extras, including links to instructions and examples.
If it's information for your page that you want, well, I can't help there as I don't know a thing about you. I suppose I could do a BS article on you, but I have to be in the right mood to make up bogus interesting facts.
-
Thanks for the advice, Gopher. I think if you check my user page again you'll see quite a difference.
-
oops. re: FuturamaFreak and links with spaces, there are a couple of ways around it.
Simplest, replace the spaces with '+' or '%20'
[http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/GetBio/HookerBot+5000 Hookerbot 5000's PEEL profile].
or use the URLENCODE function, just on the final part of the link as so...
[http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/GetBio/{{URLENCODE:HookerBot 5000}}].
If you wanted a PEEL or MySpace link, there are templates for those which do this automatically
The PEEL template allows shorthand links to PEEL.
User Profiles: {{PEEL|user=HookerBot 5000}}
Forums : {{PEEL|forum=Off-Topic Discussion}}
Threads : {{PEEL|thread=003199|WikiPEELia Thread}}
Posts : {{PEEL|thread=12-003199-2|post=55|This links to this post}}
This will link to MySpace pages:
{{MySpace|name=Some myspace username}}
or
{{MySpace|name=Some myspace username|optional link text}}
-
@Xanny boy: Hm... Xanfor, let me think.... uhh... Yes :p
Edit: Xanofr, I love it. :laff:
-
I've added a ton of stuff to my page in the last couple days so anyone who isn't me should go look at it.
And if anyone knows how to put in a link with a space in it, feel free to tell me.
-
link with a space? I don't really know what you mean, but try to replace the space with %20.
I've been cleaning out the server a little yesteray. Fixed double redirects, broken links, unused categories, etc...
-
I'd been trying to put a direct link that, when you're in AIM, clicking on it opens an IM window directed towards a certain screen name.
This is the link I was messing with:
aim:goim?screenname=MindBesideItself
(MindBesideItself is my screen name...any screen name would go there.)
I couldn't get it to work. I suppose perhaps somebody could make a template for it? I would HIGHLY appreciate it. :D
-
@Futuramafreak: Gopher already covered it. In a whole bunch of ways, even. (use a +... it's the most efficient)
-
Man, I'm oblivious. Sorreh Gopher.
-
hmm.. I want a place in wikiPEELia. Yo Xanfor! Why not make me a small article there, eh? If ya don't, I will find you and I'll chuck you off a bridge into an ocean with sharks or somethin. lol. I kid, I kid. :p So.. will ya make me one? :)
-
i just updated stuffs in the PEEL-agi-alia article..
wooo!...
-
...after Pikka Bird ranted about a busker and almost taught him a lesson...
Say what? The guy in the tunnel with the bland cover tunes?
Also, that page suffers from weird punctuation. I have half a mind to go clean it up. Possibly add to it (the content, not the horrible punctuation).
-
my wikipeel is now full with bullshit, muaha
argh! why do images sometimes work and sometimes not?
also, can you somehow set a whole image as an external link?

In respect of the busking on the tube... I seem to remember seeing one guy dressed as a wizard. Reminded me of Rincewind. Shame that the moment co-incided with me needing to move quickly, and my camera being trapped in pockety limbo. Although, I'm sure I'll see stranger things than Rincewind on the tube next time.
Anybody remember the purple guy from the AGI before the last one? He got on at Camden with purple boots, purple hat, purple hair, purple trousers, purple nails, purple jacket and jumper, purple cape, and a purple smile.
He was disturbingly purple.
-
I shared a happy moment with Melll when just a mere 2 minutes after talking about "Girl from Ipanema" the busker down the tunnel was playing it. I know that song a little too well....

Certainly. But I'll need three things from you: A link to your fan art thread.
So I can't do math. So what?

XD haha. Here ye go (http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/Futurama/4-001291-1/)

Just out of interest, how does one put their myspace thing on? PLease note, this will have to be in very very small steps, owing to my Internet stupidity.
Bend-err, you're a darling :love:

a link can be put like this:
[adress some text]
for example:
[www.google.com this is google]
hehe, welcome

Uh Gopher, I don't suppose WikiPEELia can host my PEEL Comics please?

Gopher is the wrong one to address there Nurdy. Spiff's the one who is in charge of the server.

Baaa-ba-da-da, baa-baa-ba-da-da....

The look you gave me when I started singing the other parts of the song that nobody knows was classic.

Woohoo! Thank you Xanfor! I love my page. :D
I edited one small thing though. I was drunk by Professor Zoidy when she became liquid emperor. So.. I put that.

Since when do we have a PEEL mafia (http://splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/JoshTheater#PEEL_Mafia) and what are our Elite Corps (http://splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Elite_Corps). Does anyone care to explain this, or is it completely unknown of? :confused:

Because it's pretty much a "let's suck Fazeshift's cock" page. Which really belongs in the main Fazeshift article rather than anywhere else.

germanfryfan:
It was a joke that I pretty much started in the Questions/Answers thread in on-topic, and a couple people seemed to run with it. I decided to add it to my page with information, just for fun. It's not to be taken seriously (just as several other things on Wikipeelia aren't supposed to be).
tnuk:
As much as I absolutely admire your awesome "skillz" (not being sarcastic), if you truly are serious, please reconsider. It's just a joke, and I happen to quite enjoy it. It's definitely not anything that I'm at all asking for PEEL to accept as an in-joke or anything (and I'm not implying that PEEL really has a Mafia), nor is it anything that is insulting or offensive in any way. I'm pretty sure I have the right to have a little fun with it as long as it's at nobody else's expense. Also, I did a fair amount of work putting the whole thing together.
And don't worry, I won't be making anymore pages for it. I just wanted to (and hopefully did) make only one or two pages that would actually make sense and not just be a waste of space that repeated stuff. I tried to do it sparingly, and I know that there's no need for anything else.
Please don't get rid of it just because it seems, to you, to be some sort of newbie attempt to be cool on my part, or anything like that, which it isn't. :(

Fry1077 did that by accident apparently. I was able to set it back.

I'm not even kidding a tiny bit when I say I have a tremendous amount of loathing for this PEEL Mafia dealie. It's even worse than that god-awful "virtual pizzaria" someone tried to hijack a thread with a bunch of months ago.

I'm sorry that you find it annoying, and trust me, I'm not trying to push it any further than it is now on the board. I'm not trying to force it on anybody, nor did I expect anybody to really notice...it was a just a little joke, and if you want, go ahead and ignore it. It wasn't meant to "hijack" any threads or anything of the sort, and I DEFINITELY wasn't intending, and absolutely don't want to, get on the bad side of any PEELers.

Just added more stuff on my page and assuming Xanfor created it as it mentioned "stupidity"

When the fuck did I become leader of a cult? Would someone please explain this. And if I said some shit it was probably because I was drunk.

Ah, I see. May I just ask you to put something in that clearly shows it is your idea and not a general PEEL thing.
Just asking because I think that about 95% of all PEELers and 99.9% of long time PEELers don't have a clue what you are talking about and also don't really recognize themselves and this community in it.
Just my thoughts however, others may think differently.
-
My mouse almost slipped on that mafia leader article with a pic of goatse, but I some small animals broke my fall... :p

Done. (http://splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/JoshTheater#PEEL_Mafia) :D

um... wtf?

::JoshTheater is hunted down and killed by the REAL mafia::
-
I see... I have to do it myself. And I did edit it myself.
edit: I still don't see the point though, you know.
It's like immigrating into the US and claiming the WhiteHouse the next day. You have to work for it and earn it in order pull such stuff on us buddy. :nono:
edit2: Thanks Nix
-
Actually, that's MUCH better, gff.
I even forget what I had put...
Just checked, I must've been half-asleep when I wrote what I wrote or something. Sorry.
It's a joke. Say it with me, now:
Monotonous drone from crowd: "A joke."
Thank you, very good. That concludes our intensive five minute course of "Hooked On Phonics".
@Nix: I doubt they'd be able to get me before the Gay/Lesbian Alliance did. They've had a pretty huge bounty on my head for a while now. Seems my support is too "radical" for their cause.
-
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, but the pic I added for the Vegas section of PEEL-AGI-alia isn't showing up... I've added pics before, and now I'm retarded.
-
it's not you, it's the side... happened to me a few times aswell... fucking wiki!
-
Wikimedia is really shit about that, it's true. However, that Vegas picture is fixed now... at least I can see it.
What I did: Go to the main page of said picture (http://splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Image:Airbag_nink_VEGAS.jpg) and copy its caption.
Image:Airbag nink VEGAS.jpgadd '[['] and ']]' as well as additional text around it and it should be set.

I beg to differ. CREFS is an organization of several PEELers. It wasn't created by Faze and so it doesn't belong on his page.
-
@ninky- I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PUT THAT PICTURE UP..
that's such at terrible photo!! ARGHH!!!
-
You're more than welcome to post the horrible one of me.
I think it "captured" the moment, don't you? I hate that photo too, trust me. It's not my most flattering picture, but, holy crap, your mouth is as big as my forehead (that's pretty big). Doesn't it make you remember how fucked up that ride was?? :)
PS love you!
What I did: Go to the main page of said picture and copy its caption.
you know, I did that. Stupid thing didn't work. Baffling!
Edit2: Damnit, it's doing it again :( Help, GFF!
-
fixed
-
Bah. How? I don't get it. It looks EXACTLY the same :cry:
-
it does indeed
just coppied and pasted it a few times... and voila
maybe it were my mysterious german superpowers ;)
-
here is why:
Have a look at this comparison of Ninaka's version, and Booze's fixed one (http://splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php?title=AGI-ali-athon_/_PEEL-AGI-alia&diff=next&oldid=8590). Notice that in the left (faulty) one there is a space right behind the file name, while in the working one on the right there isn't.
-
not in the bottom one!
i still say it was all my superpowers
-
GFF: Pah. PAH! Still very odd. Me no likey!
And thanks, Bend-err for fixey.
-
Added a few more things. As always I just hit the "random page" button.
It also appears my desire for hugging may be mutual. I now need to get a ticket to England.
-
Should we have Galleries too?
Like: Gallery of AGI images for example?
-
why not just start one?
but you can also add pics to the AGI-pages
-
To the people vandalising other peoples pages for no reason, I have this to say to you:
You are fools of the highest calibre.
-
meh, I take my previous statement from the now locked thread back.
However, that pocky is banned (for a month, maybe longer later on) and the page is deleted.
-
Is M. Proctor supposed to be listed under PEELers in USA? :hmpf:
Norway, surely.
-
It's been in there since the very first verion from Gopher. I've changed it now.
-
I just noticed that shifty little ad you inserted into my page, Nurdbot. Nobody's impressed. :nono: (except me)
DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU COULD OUTSMART ME!? :mad:

Yeah! Its a big enough PEEL movement to have its own page! If Steel Battalion gets its own page. CREFS gets its own page!
now who knows how to unmerge?
-
It is true though M0le. I hear you love that goddamn pudding, so much!
-
CREFS does neither need it's own page nor any further mentioning cause it's just completely stupid
-
The people who made it don't seem to think so, and Wikis aren't about what you or anyone think is stupid, they're about facts, like them or not!
Personally I think ymil account was stupid, but that gets its own page and it should, so, there's WikiPEELia hypocrisy for you.
Some people are more equal than others, especially if you bother to register to edit.

Re: some of these "bogus" articles, I understand people like Tnuk's reactions, and ultimately the wiki is democratic, nobody is in charge. (Well, except Spiff, but he seems to assert his only as relates to bandwidth conciderations. I don't think this will ever be a problem, no matter what we do; there's just not enough traffic on WikiPEELia to be a real problem.) Back to the point, I don't personally have any problem with BS articles, but in order to preserve the PEEL as a dual-purpose site (entertainment and information) I suggest using the BS tag on articles on completely bogus topics or which simply contain completely bogus information. It's quite simple, just add {{BS}} to the article. Currently, it's referenced only by a few PEELer stub articles I wrote, particurlarly Zoidyzoid, Red5, and MeisterPOOP, though I'm sure there are more articles like them which should be tagged.
As for the CREFS article in particular, I didn't have a problem with it myself (I had noticed it shortly after it was created) but I can't really rebut TNUK's arguments except to say "...so?" After all, as the title of this thread suggests, WikiPEELia is just one massive circle-jerk anyway, so if Faze's cronies want to sit in the corner servicing faze instead of joining the circle, does it really make a difference?
Bottom line, keep it in perspective, and don't think your wanking is any more valid than anybody else's. I mean, we're talking about preserving the integrity of a circle-jerk here. Lighten up!
Nurdy: It's ultimately up to spiff, but I doubt he would object to your comics being hosted, as long as you don't proceed to link to them from hundreds of active forums or something. Since they're entirely PEEL in-jokes, I assume you were not planning anything of the kind, so I'd say knock yourself out, and just leave spiff a message on the wiki to let him know, so he can kill them if he does object for whatever reason.
-
Benderr: Heh. :p
Solid and irrefutable facts!
Well, I guess the CREFS supporters can register and edit the article back to its former glory if they so wish, right? But to be honest, they seem to be a bit of a lazy bunch to me!
(C'mon guys, the PEELies? What the hell?! :p )
Gopher, that's a whole lotta BS.
-
Of course we are!
At least I am. :p
-
Faze: Of course. I would add {{BS}} to my sig, but I never use it, so meh.
-
Gopher: Awesome, feel free to whip up something for the comics if you wish.
-
Sure, post away. As long as they're not tons of megabytes each, I won't object.
Plus they're still a lot better than articles about crap like the "PEEL Mafia".

Hey, I was the one who personally emptied those articles and asked for them to be deleted, gff. Also, I was the one who decided to take the PEEL Mafia section off my user page.
They weren't annhilated. They simply retired. How dare you offend those poor old (former) mobsters?

Well, eventually. The fact that people didn't like it and were attacking me for it definitely played a part, because I certainly respect their opinions and feelings, and also don't want to get on their bad sides at all. But ultimately, it was my decision that it was a waste of space (as well as being bored with it) and decided it definitely should go. Not that it wouldn't have been deleted eventually by someone else if I hadn't. Even though it was just a JOKE. :D

My problem with the PEEL Mafia is that it was hardly a running joke, but rather just a few scattered posts, and the fact that such a tiny fraction of people went along with it doesn't exactly boost its merits.
There are several other jokes on the wikiPEELia that I don't find funny at all, but those are long-running phenomena that people have amused themselves with for ages, so whether or not I find it funny has nothing to do with how I view its justification for a dedicated wiki section.

I created an Entry for PEEL: The Movie.
Have fun, IMBd nuts!

Is "PEEL: The Movie" a running gag I am unaware of, or are you just showing off to the noobs by flaunting your ability to disregard the rules on the same page that one was chastized for the basic thing, Mr. Ubersecretary? :)
More seriously, re: the comics, yeah, I'll throw together something eventually. No promises about when, though; I just haven't been spending much time online lately. I'd recomend putting together something yourself, unless you don't mind waiting months for something to happen. I'll come back and beautify and such when I get a chance. For all I know, you may have done this already, I haven't been to the wiki since my previous post above.
-
PEEL: The Movie is a PEEL in joke. Just like the game. I plan to add more Multi Media content at some point.
As for the comics, I got around to making a WikiPEEL archive a few days ago.
-
I figured it probably was, but I'm surprised I've never heard it before. Ah well. If it's made, I demand to be played by Tony Clifton.
-
I demand my part to be played by Nicholas Cage.
-
We have a movie and a game?
Jesus we are super-nerdy.

Space: bah. I say we need at least two games, "PEEL: The Game" and "PEEL: The Movie: The Game." I'm open to suggestions for "WikiPEELia: The Game" as well...
-
The Game IS the tie in game for the movie.
-
Ah; well, that's only a minor problem. We just make the other game a prequel; that never sucks.
-
You could do PEEL: The Board Game, or PEEL: The Sound Track?
-
If somebody makes a PEEL: The Board Game, there needs to be a real board game made. With real, sensical rules.
Either that or just a crazy impossible whacked out board game that doesn't have to comply with the laws of physics and can do insanely absurd things, like jump up and slap people in the face, or to a lesser extent, shoot laser cannons.
-
I demand my part to be played by Sean Connery, for him to use his Scottish accent even though I am American, and for him to utter both "You're the man now, dog!" and "Shaken, not stirred" at least once in the movie. Also, I'd like Mr. Connery's stunt double to be Chuck Norris and for him to use an atomic roundhouse kick to Yardstick as much times as seen fit and to divide by zero at least twice in the course of the film. Also, I'd like Sean Connery as i_c_weiner to be an old hermit mentor to a n00b who must learn the rules of the road if he hopes to become
an established writer in the Bronx a British secret agent a Jedi a Russian submarine captain Mr PEELified. In this story line, I'd suggest Tony Clifton as Gopher to be a humanoid dog who loves to eat Jell-O and dance to David Bowie and is the sidekick to Nic Cage as Ralph Snart to be a smartass smuggler who gets killed at the end of the film after trying to steal the PEEL FAQ from The Fry Hole to find the hidden C++ code on the back of it, and Steve Buscemi as Wooter to be weird, quirky alien who appeals to a younger audience that the fans of the movie will hate.
I also suggest not hiring George Lucas for anything.

What would be the objective of a PEEL board game be?
Speaking of which, whats the objective of PEEL: The Video Game?
-
The game has the same plot as the movie (mostly).
I assume the board game also has the same plot.
-
I picture the board game to be Monopoly-like...
Collect 200 Nixorbucks as you pass go, and instead of spending time in jail you get banned!
-
I was thinking the same, but with some Mouse Trap and Cluedo slapped in too, along with some sort of D&D gaming system and some dice.

A dice with more than 6 sides... Oohh and also some knuckles.

how many sides?
i can offer you 8, 10, 12, 20... or if less 4

Nurdy: Are "more information needed" things really appropriate for WikiPEELia? It's not a typical fact-based wiki like wookiepedia.
-
Wookiepedia doesn't really come under that heading either. It's basically a collection of more-or-less inaccurate cruft, given a title that ends in "pedia" to make it sound like some sort of authoritative and definitive work.
I scoff in the face of wookiepedia.
-
Well, it's an ATTEMPT to be a factual resource on all things Star Wars. Whether it lives up to that or not is beside the point.

Originally posted by Gopher:

Yes. It's an attempt. A bad attempt. I consider it in fact to be a failed attempt, as any corrections that are made in the name of factual accuracy seem to be swiftly reverted in the name of wishful thinking. As I think I've mentioned in another thread before now, I've given up with wookiepedia. I'm close to giving up on wikipedia as well. With WikiPEELia on the other hand, I'm not nearly ready to throw in the towel.
The Internet is a mess. I'm beginning to hate the whole thing. Let's go back to the stone age and hit each other with rocks to communicate.
-
:throws rocks at tnuk:
Nurdy: I'll spruce up the {{BS}} and {{Stub}} templates, which are already used, just for you. Don't think we need any more tho.
Just thoroughly mutilated TheMadCapper's article (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/TheMadCapper). Replaced the old infobox with the new one, and added the gatherings footer. I tried to retain all the original info; what wasn't appropriate for the new infobox I moved to the trivia section.
-
W00t. Thanks for considering and all. I apologise to TNUK for opening old wounds.
Wookieepedia editors are dicks.

NP. They're done, though I expect some mixed reactions on my pic/quote choices. If someone has funnier ideas, feel free to change the quote and upload a new pic. If I disagree, I'll just revert them. :D

Originally posted by totalnerduk:

We could, but since it'd be like playing baseball while having hot dogs and jelly beans thrown at you, it would die quickly (that is probably what you were hoping for, though ;)).
You raise a good point, though...Calvinball would, in a way, be another type of test thread. It's basically a game with no rules and much random silliness. However, the game has it's own sense of boundaries, style of silliness, and a certain way to play that you have to be somewhat familiar with the Calvin and Hobbes comics to understand (for great examples, look at some of the above posts on this page when we were briefly playing the game as a joke).
So while it is a game without rules...there are certain things you couldn't do in it. :p
It would probably save a lot more time just to NOT do Calvinball at all rather than having to play it in the test thread, if the mods feel an individual thread for a "game with no rules" would take up too much bandwidth. :D
I and the others who would enjoy a Calvinball thread will just have to wait and see what the mods say, I guess.

Your talk page uses the info-template Gopher has created. He edited it in there to show you how it would look like if you used it (which you do by now).
To prevent your talk page from getting automatically added to the Space-Pope category I had to use a dummy showing off the status of a Popler.
If you want you can delete the whole info box and my line from your talk page.

Heh Heh. I stubbed him. Take that DavieRocks!

Decapodian, labelling an article as a stub is not the equvalent of a wedgie. Editing the wiki isn't a way to score points.
"Stubbing" people doesn't earn you respect, cheap laughs, or booze.
The tone of your post suggests that you do not understand this (or anything much).
Please refrain from using the wiki to feel as though you have "one-upped" somebody.
If you simply must edit articles for no rhyme or reason then why not begin with the "stubbed" articles. Look for a way to expand them. Do you know something about the subject that could be added in accordance with the style of wikiPEELia? Could you perhaps begin to turn this short block of text into an epic tome containing all possible information on this subject.
De-stubbing (ie: transofrming a stub into a full article will earn you respect. Sadly, cheap laughs and booze are things that you must look elsewhere for.
-
Bump.
Yeah, speaking of de-stubbing, I'm doing bits of that ATM, pretty much wherever I feel confident that the person in question can take a joke. If your page contains (orused to contain) little content, I'll be padding it out so that it seems more like a real article.
PEELers would be well advised to take a look and make sure I'm not violating their personal limitations. Srsly.
-
Cleaned up some clutter on my page. Left the Trivia section alone, though.
-
Well, I dont know most of the PEELers in the articles. So I cant fill them out. I just stub them. Someone has to do it.
-
Someone has to do it.
I disagree.
-
Whoa. This thing's all totally new to me. Like, wow, man. I have an entry on there and everything. And I can't believe that my goddamned story of getting lost at PEELathon ended up on there, that's utterly crazy.

Transofrming? I knew it! Spammer! :p
-
On that topic:
I would gladly see it if not so many articles would be added to the stub category too.
Right now there are 62 articles in there, and in my eyes not all of them are really stub.
YLB's article i.e. I don't know if she agrees with me there, however, I do know that she edited it quite a lot and added info about herself. While it is still short compared to others I wouldn't say that it is incomplete. Maybe she didn't want it to be longer...
Just my opinion on that article in particular.
And like TNUK said, just adding the stub category to an article because you feel like doing something is pretty "lame".
As I have mentioned above:
Category:Stub, while it doesn't really exist, holds 62 articles by now; Seeing that makes me feel as if the whole stub thing could be added to the B*llsh!t one... :p
-

Confine yourself to the articles you can fill out then, and leave the "stub" thing for others to play with. Please.

Your level of competance is execrable.

There should be a catergory for PEELers who have Test Threads named after them. Theres 8 so far. Ralph Snart, Pitt Clemens, Winna, Chay's Head, Sarge, Zombie Jesus, Nurdbot and Melllvar.

Just an ickle thing, but please, whoever it was, could you possibly leave 'meagre' as its UK spelling, rather than meager.

'shaft of wit?'
haha :P
-
Shaft of Wit was something I used to say at school. In 1994, it was a fad to swap the letters around on whatever you were saying to somebody, eg: Cooking Fat, Hick Dead, etc.
One day, some guy made a really terrible joke. I said to him, "You're a real Shaft of Wit, you know that?" Of course, he thought that I was complimenting him, whilst the guys around us got the joke and laughed their arses off. The guy's credibility never recovered. The fad died shortly after that, as all anybody was saying was "shaft of wit". Occasionally it experiences a short revival when I have to explain the backstory to somebody, but by and large, this hs never become a mainstream popular "insult".
Wilst you probably got the joke first time, I feel better for having explained it. Slightly.
-
ahh, I get it now! Haha, either way, it still makes my wiki page sound cool. I didnt get it, but then again, I'm crap for getting stuff like that. Now I have, I like it.
-
A small favour to ask, some of you feel free to add to my 'what you think of Nurdbot' box. I don't mind if the comments are serious or silly.

Yo. Content added. Fake comments from Nix, Edel and Tweek are in there, as well as my two pence. Enjoy.
Gah. So much trivia. I've re-organised it into a seperate page.
Remember the Super-Johnny (http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/Futurama/12-000575-18/)? The condom that surapsses everything else on this planet in terms of sheer manliness? Well, your trivia now links to an article on this, and there's a new category for PEEL inventions. You, my friend, are ultimately responsible for this.

AGI Minsk (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/AGI_Minsk) has its own article now.
I've made other minor changes to other, less important areas.
I'm getting slightly better at doing this as I go along, but I'm nowhere near Gopher's level.
Gopher, if you're around, I'd be grateful fro any feedback on layouts/formatting.

I must say, that News Section needs to be used a lot more.

I can't. Somebody confiscated my stub gun.
No wait, here it is. *laughs evilly*
Anyway, I only use the dreaded stub gun on PEELer articles. That and a few unlucky Ex-PEELer trolls whose articles were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
-
Don't use it. Seriously, if you start stubbing articles without providing an in-depth analysis of why on the discussion page, or if you ever say "dreaded stub gun" again, I'll block you for a fortnight.
Edit: Nink, not without a reason. I intend to give him enough rope, and then watch him swinging. Although, it's tempting.

Do it anyway

Woo! Now my wikipage has a picture of Labarbara on it! I'm on my way up!

Best damn fake story ever. It manages to dodge the fine line between real life and absurdity into the realm of satire. Sheer brilliance. Bravo.
Incidentally, I did once flick through a tourist guide to Belarus. If a tourist guide can't make it sound appealing then you've got real problems. Reminds me of the quote from Wikitravel Iraq, 'You may tell the border guards that you are visiting for vacation but they'll probably laugh at you'.

Seriously, though. I know categorising articles is necessary, but so is actually adding text to them. Even if there's nothing really to say, there are SPAG mistakes, there are "trivia" points to add, there's all sorts of fun you can have with layouts, there's the opportunity to add your own particular viewpoint to the article, there's the dire and desperate need to collate the known facts regarding ascension to LE status.
Even at its most basic, editing can include things like a PEElers registration date and any notable contriutions, or even observations.
Making a jillion content-free edits to largely empty articles is something that should be discouraged. Because it's annoying.

http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Juliet (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Juliet)
-
why not do it yourself? that way you can make your page exactly how you want it to be
-
Do it yourself?
-
One of the first things mentioned in Pitt's entry:
"a member of New Jersey's most popular band Steel Battalion"
yet he is not listed in the catagory "Musicians"
I'd do it right now, but I can't remember my log in info at the moment.
-
Yeah I will try and do it myself over the weekend

I've given you a flying start. Feel free to delete anything you don't want on there, and remember that some information was not meant to be shared.
Enjoy.

To date, Juliet has attended only one PEEL Meet (AGI 6)...
I'd say there's strong evidence to the contrary in the AGI2 group shot. (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/images/a/ad/AGI2-People.jpg) :confused:
I don't have time to correct it right now, but now it's out there for someone else to deal with.
-
That's her robotic double.
That's what I get for not attending them all - I'm not in possession of all the facts.
I'll go fix it.
-
Thank you totalnerduk I ill add some more next timeI am off work
-
Awwww...
Im banned for a week.
You know TNUK, I added that latest category before you threatened me with WikiPEELia banning.
-
Call me nutso, but that is a hint. It means:
Write content, don't keep putting supports everywhere. Especially when it is not needed.
EDIT: Also, Old School PEEL Rat Pack>KKK.
-
I love you, Nurdy. :love: :D
scared?
-
A little. Slightly aroused too...
-
My page was never updated to show my PotM win. Wait, I did win, right?
Shit, did I dream I won? No, no... I think I won in... March? Or was it May?
I don't even remember anymore!
-
If your page was never updated it's probably cuz you didn't do it yourself - seems to be the way these days. Screw generosity!
-
mine's been the same for ages, cause i refuse to put anything on there cause yeah... i don't really have
anything to say for myself...
-
I've gone on an absolute rampage today with the editing.
Also, it looks like being banned for a week got the right message to Decapodian. :D
I'm off to sniff around, see if there are any more pages in dire need of additions.
Edit: Wooter, I've added the POTM info to your profile. The award box and category, anways. If you want it mentioned in the text of the article, then add it yourself you lazy dalek bastard.
-
hmm I stop by wikipeelia everynow and then, fixing technical errors whenever I see them.
Oh, btw. People, can you add avatar picitures to the [[category:Avatars]] ? would be apreciated :p
-
You're my hero, tnuk.
-
Minor updates... (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Current_events#Wiki_news) but we need some major updates. It's been suggested for exaple that Juliet winning POTM June 2007 deserves its own page. Anybody feel like making it? It's been said that Decapodian is a "pretty epci fake account". Anybody know where we could stick that comment?
We have a possible return of Yardstick with the New World Conspiracy thread... and I'm sure that we all have our own little bits and peices of "news" that could be noted somewhere on the wiki.
It seems to have slowed down enormously in recent days.
If you don't fancy making an update yourself, then make a suggestion and myself or some other kind soul will most likely do it.
Please, Decapodian, check before you make any update as to whether it is something that I will want to kick your arse for. Re-reading the last three pages of this thread should serve as adequate reference.
Also, (everyone) check out the main page before you put any info on or take any info off the wiki.
I might go on another spree this weekend.
-
Ah, ta TNUK, I was going to add the latest comic to the archive at some point. Did it now.
Considering making an image galley for the characters, what would be the template that allows Thumbnailed pictures to be displayed?
-
There's no template as such. Just put |thumb| into the image link.
-
Example:
[[Image:image.jpg|thumb|200px|right|This is a caption.]]
I just noticed I was in a PEEL Comics thing. Although it makes it seem like I have a man crush on Gopher, it's still funny.
I made some minor edits to some pages. The Decapodian/Fake Account thing, which I had pointed out one time, could have its own page. It would have to have both sides of the arguement, as to be a little bit more fair.
-

And what would we put on such a page? That after being here for seven years Juliet finally got voted in as Poster of the Month out of pity despite not having made any posts worthy of nomination during the month in question or for that matter during any other month that she's been here? That hardly seems like something that deserves its own page.
No offense, Juli.
It's been said that Decapodian is a "pretty epci fake account". Anybody know where we could stick that comment?
Decapodian's page? The fake account page? I have a few other ideas about where you could stick that comment, but they involve bodily orifices, not WikiPEELia pages.
-
Did that character page, Anyone feel free to tidy up the gaps and make it look a little neater. The content is mostly in.

I would hardly say that as a musician I'm qualified. I'm more like a noise maker. I'll address myself as a musician only after I've mastered more music theory.
So yes, I'm more of a music player than a musician. This is best explained by Yogi Bera:
"In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is."

Yes, Decapodian's fake-ness should be on his page, and does not deserve its own.
Yes, Juli's POTM-win should probably go on her page rather than a new one. You'll notice that these were suggestions made by others - I collated them here for ease of reference in the hope that somebody such as yourself would then see tham and rather than posting about how bad these ideas were, take some useful action and do the right thing in the right place. But I guess that you're just not as useful as you give yourself credit for.
-sigh-
Nevermind. I guess I'll just skim PEEL for as much recent information as possible and then update every artcile myself, painstakingly slowly, since you're more willing to tell me what I'm doing wrong rather than to lend a helping hand or anything...
-
I did a few updates to pages...like adding my PEEL t-shirt to my page and the "PEEL: The Movie" page.
I enjoy finding pages with many spelling mistakes and just going through fixing them all. Hopefully that's helpful, at least a little.
-
ic: Both sides? Fair? this isn't Wikipedia. :)
Josh: fixing little mistakes is a bigger help than you realise; the key to an error-free wiki is an army of such trivial editors, which Wikipeelia is desperately short on due to it's rather small audience. We have a ridiculously high contributor-to-reader ratio for a wiki.
DavidA/Tnuk: No fighting allowed. if you can't get along, just take turns adding scathing witty insults to each others' articles; make sure they're at least 3 parts funny for every 2 parts mean, though, or points will be deducted.

We now have a Harry Potter fanboy image.
Stick this in your profile extras when you've finally become enough of a dork to read all seven kids books about a boy who likes waving bits of wood around and shouting nonsense.
{{ProfileThumb

I've read tham all now, so I feel like this is my reward. A wikiPEELia button that announces it to the world.
Of course, it's also my punishment for being such a sad bastard that I actually felt the need to read a set of books penned for people between zeven and seventten years younger than me. Now the entire internet knows... :p
-
Can I have something similar to that for attempting to half spoil the books on the internet for the past 5 years with an unwavering persistence to drive that particular joke all the way into the ground? :rolleyes:
-
You want to reward yourself....on the internet.....for reading 7 books about wizards.
*blinks*
-
I rock more ass than those people that read Harry Potter. I won a signed Futurama scriped in 2001, faked someone's death over the internet in 2004 and my recent scary bat shit insane adventure that I'm still freaked out about. You don't see me braging about any of it..... too late I just did.
-
Since Harry Potter is being added, can we have an ever so superior Discworld button too?
-

What about the fact that you spelled "seven" with a Z?
-
Actually that would be correct in Dutch.
-
It is? I did not know that. Learn something new every day...
-
Who's up for a new Main Page design (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/User:Xanfor/Main_Page)?
If I could be invited onto the 'mod squad', I would try to keep it updated frequently.
-
Pretty nice design, I have no objections, though I would suggest replacing the "Featured PEELer" with perhaps "POTM." Maintaining a featured article really requires a more active community than WikiPEELia really has, while we already select a POTM every month. Also, not sure that test threads count as "news" ;)
If nobody objects, I'll drop in the new page later. :)
-
We have a few threads full of excellent PEELer quotes, why don't we have a Daily PEELer quote box too?
-
That sounds interesting. I'll work on something for that. ;)
@Gopher: Will I be able to edit it still? You know, have responsibility over maintaining and rotating trivia, news, the featured pic, that sort of thing?
-
Well, I can't make you a mod, not within my power set. What I can do is templatize the page, so that the elements on it are on separate, editable pages; this approach protects the main page from all but the most determined vandals.
-
It should already be templatized, if I understand what you mean...
Here, how about this plan: You copy my design (which is on my user subpage, here (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/User:Xanfor/Main_Page)) onto the Main Page, and I'll keep my user subpage just the way it is now. That way, the individual templates can be edited by me easily, and if I make any improvements to the overall layout (which will be on the Main Page, which I can't edit), I'll edit my user page to my new version, notify you, and then you can copy the new version to the Main Page when you get around to it. Provided, of course, there are no objections to it's current form?
Although if someone did say it was Ok for me to become a mod, I wouldn't complain. ;)
-
I edited the News on Comic-Con in the Xanfor/Main Page Recent News section. The dates were off.
I frequent the New Futurama News and Speculation threads and other sites that have info on Futurama. If I find something new, I'll update the Recent News section.
Oh, and Gopher, just to say, the newest version of the PEEL Client looks nice. I just wanted to suggest to you of adding the Registration Date and Rank in the left side PEELer column thingy. You know the one I mean.
-
No, you misunderstand. While you won't be able to edit the main page directly, each section will just transclude another page using templates. You'll be able to edit the elements individually (as long as they're not protected), and you'd only need a mod's assistance to alter the basic layout.
-
Ok, that'll work. If I make improvements to the basic layout (like adding Nurdbot's idea of a quote box), I'll let you know.
And thanks for the help! If this were Wikipedia, I'd give you the Helping Hand barnstar. ;)
-
Hooray! I'd get a Barnstar!
... Oh, wait. You meant Gopher. You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, Xanfor.
On the Quote Box idea, I'd put it above the Feature Picture in the same box. I'd have an image of the quoted PEELer's avatar on the right hand side of the box. I'd do it myself, but I'm personally confused by what's going on with the script for the Xanfor/Main Page.
-
ic: Dropping suggestions on PEEL may get my attention, but adding feature requests to the PEEL Client Article (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/PEEL_Client) on WikiPEELia, then I can't say I forgot. :)
re: the main page, I'm just going to copy the structure to the main page, then copy the contents of each box to a template page. The main page will define the tables and layout, and populate the cells with the template pages. It's a common way of structuring welcome pages on Wikis, as it allows the page to be protected while allowing portions to be edited by regular users. Just realised Xanfor already designed it this way, lol. Didn't actualy look at the source before, just assumed for some reason. Copied the main page over.
-
@ic: I was thinking of designing a slim box over the 'Poster of the Month' box and the 'Recent News' box and underneath the 'Read before editing' line. The avatar would go on the far right (perhaps shrunk slightly), and instead of putting the name of the quoted PEELer, have the picture link right to their article.
I might have it ready by tomorrow. And I'll test your idea as well, i_c_, and see how it looks.
@Gopher: Thankee vedy mucho!
-
Love the new layout, Xanfor. Very nice. Don't like the way it runs paragraphs together for the featured article though. Needs fixing.
-
Ok, added quote box (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/User:Xanfor/Main_Page), now accepting opinions!
@tnuk: I'll get to that very soon. Thanks for the approval, by the way.
-

Do you mean in the actual article or in the Talk page?
Xanfor: I just noticed the "310 gazillion articles to improve!" thing at the top of your Main Page: very funny. Looking at the position of the Quote Box, it looks like it's pushed into a corner.
TNUK: I split the POTM section into two paragraphs to see how it looks. Please note that the POTM section of the Main Page isn't from Juliet's actual article.
-
I'm liking the new addition, excellent work Xanfor. I take it we'll have a page where we nominate the best quotes for the moment too?
-

Yes, and it's wiki-coded so that it displays a true number. We actually have 310 articles right now.
Originally posted by Nurdbot:

Just follow the instruction in the quote template (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Template:Main_Page_Forms/Featured_Quote). ;)
I'm having fun today. :)
-
i_c: meh, add a subheading under features and put 'em on the page. discussion or debate of those features will go on the talk page.
-
Should we have a category that lists the sysops for the wiki?
I think it would be useful to collate the data, even if only so people know who to complain to, and link to it from the main page (somewhere in that stew of links at the top).
Anybody think this is a crappy idea? 'Cause if not, I'm going to do it. Later. When I'm not feeling lazy and floppy.
Edit: Some recent changes I has maded. (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Special:Recentchanges)
-
Added your sysops link, tnuk. (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/User:Xanfor/Main_Page) ;) Good place?
By the way, if you copy this page to the main page, please copy the whole page over. I've fixed some various capitalizations throughout the layout.
edited several hours later:
Ok, I've added some archives now as well, and updated the News section. By the way, tnuk, you do realize that linking the 'Recent news' header to the 'Current Events' page is redundant, because the 'Current Events' page is already linked to, right? It's at the bottom of the news list, with the text of 'More current events...'
However, if you wish to keep it that way, I'll edit my Main Page draft to match, so you copy the whole thing over easily without worrying about it.

Iz good. I know it's redundant, but I think that the easier it is to leap to a page, the more people will leap there. The more exploration gets underway, the more people will stop to edit. The more people stop to edit, the more the wiki grows. The more the wiki grows, the more exploration cn be done. It's a positive feedback loop. RECURSION!
I'll bear in mind that the whole template eeds to be copied at once, and yes, the new Sysop link is in a foine old place me lad, as FazeShift would say if he were more stereotypically Irish.
Edit: I would suggest that the FAQ's link be placed int he top box with the "portals " link set. Also that "Notices from Mods and Admins" be re-titled "Noticeboard" because the other one is just too damn long.
Edit again: I've tweaked a few things. Feel free to un-tweak if you don't like.
-
I like the FAQ link where you put it, however, now I'm thinking the portal list is too large. Hmm... Hold on a sec...
Consider this: 'POTM' can probably go, because we already have the featured PEELer box labeled and linked to 'Poster of the Month', right?
'PEEL' can also probably go, because the identical link is right underneath it in the bar, as so: 'Alphabetical Index · Index of Categories · PEEL · WikiPEELia Sysops'
Finally, do we really need 'Rank' in the portal box? I mean, it's a bit trivial compared to most of the others, which are categories, which link to a number of articles at once.
I've commented them out, so you can see how it looks. It's a bit neater (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/User:Xanfor/Main_Page), isn't it?
Opinion?

Agreement.
You should probably approach Spff about getting sysop rights so that you can put iton the main page yourself, since you're the one who is putting a lot of work into it.
-
Clicky (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Template_talk:Main_Page_Forms/Featured_Quote) to see what's been queued so far for quotes. All culled from PEEL's quote threads. Please, feel free to add more to the queue.
This is going to be a double post, but I think it's justified. Or at least, I don't care. :p
-
Like the quotes you listed, tnuk. Should I remove them one by one as they're used?
Also, if you want, I think I could find a place to insert your General Disclaimer (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/WikiPEELia:General_disclaimer) on the Main Page.

Really? Well, if you say so... ( ;) )
How should I do that? Leave him a comment on his talk page?
-
Originally posted by Xanfor:

As they become archived, there will be no need to keep redundant copies. So yes.
Also, if you want, I think I could find a place to insert your General Disclaimer (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/WikiPEELia:General_disclaimer) on the Main Page.
Up to you.
The best way to get hold of Spiff is to email him, to find him and ask him in person, or to post something completely scientifically inaccurate in one of the politics threads or the Gwoppa Woppa thread. He usuallyturns up within a few days of somebody doing that. It's like a subconcious Spiff-Signal.
-
I think I'll wait and see if he turns up in this thread soon.

Does anyone else believe that both Static's Homepage (http://medlem.spray.se/static223/index.htm) and the PEEL PP (http://people.peelified.com/indexlarge.html) should be mentioned on the homepage as some of the first PEEL-based profile and community external websites?

Alternatively, you can glorify overhyped bands that are currently popular (i.e. "selling out" ) or knock one of the many obscure and pretty much unlistenable bands I whore around in one of the music threads.
As for you being a Sysop: I'll look into it. I'll go to bed now, but I'm going to post again about this here tomorrow and then we'll all see.
-
Hmm, can it be true that Wayne's PEEL Pics site isn't linked from his page? I'd add it,
but I can't quite remember the URL. Something with DJ-Melll and Lycos, I reckon.
Googled it. It's this one (http://www.melllvar.co.uk/peelerpics_greatesthits.htm). Where'd one put this? And should it be mentioned in his profile text among the many other exploits?
-
I think that the top of the Main Page is a bit crowded already, tnuk. How about this (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/User:Xanfor/Main_Page) for the quote archive instead?
By the way, Spaceman, you haven't forgotten about me, have you?

No. Yours is b0rked. Mine works.
-
I'm certain that I've fired off a few noteworthy quotes, but damned if I'm going to go looking for them just to add them to the quote page.
I contribute nothing to this thread! NOTHING!
-

But it looks a great deal awkward. Surely there's something else which works?
-
Heh, I made something in The Movies ;).
I don't suppose we can have YouTube video box thingies on the Wiki though? if not, I'll just post the URL for it in the Wiki Entry.
-
I think that Wiki is HTML, but I'm not 100% positive. Try adding a YouTube video box thingy using HTML, and if that doesn't work, just use a link.
I edited the Origins section of the WikiPEELia page. Hooray for the mighty search function!
Sorry I haven't been able to help with WikiPEELia as much as I expected to this summer. I was busier than I thought I would be.
-

You can, I believe. Uncyclopedia does, at least...

Yet more edits and uploads. Take a look at the most recent changes. Also, take a look at the relocation of the quote archive link.
Somebody else do some editing now, I'm going to sleep.

I tried the YouTube inbed code, didn't work. Am I doing something wrong?

New Article (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Banstick) up. Quite an informative piece, well written and provocative, etc, etc.
Whoever wrote it is a genius. :p
-
You must have lost a lot of fire then TNUK, rumour has it this is your 4th incarnation here?
I would suggest though that if, as the article seems to imply, that the banstick is in fact 'The Nuclear Option' of peel, that anyone returning from this apocalypse should do so, considerably if not entirely stripped of their rank.
-
Feel free to email mArc. He sets policy. I merely write about it.
Or create a user account on wikiPEELia and get some editing done.
Rumours of my demise seem to have been greatly understated (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Totalnerduk#Later_career).
-
Indeed... I was quoted 3 to 4 times!

Shut up and
hoot edit (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Gaschief).
That ought to keep you busy.
Edit: Have been on a huge rampage today. Got quite a bit done.

lol hah i haven't been to the wiki in ... months
Cool i get referenced on the front page :D
Hmmmmm the "Help" page is useless!! I want to know how to make a new page.
-
Here y'go (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/PEELalia_Melbourne_2009).
Put some references to drop-bears in there.
-
Hey thanks... but I don't appreciate that TONE in your voice! Thousands of currency units would be well spent on going to somewhere you've never been to before. And it's giving you plenty of time to SAVE (hello?). Don't forget the amounts ABF and I spend on you guys. ABF moreso since she's been, like, 3 times. So, nerrrr, or something. Deal with it.
Are you gonna come? :D
-
Yes, yes, yes, I'm dealing with it.
I'm not going to spend thousands of currency units to visit a place whee all the wildlife is potentially fatal. Unless you are going to personally eradicate every poisonous creature or, say, you guarantee that absolutley nothing will try to eat me, poison me, or generally kill me (including you and ABF) and that I will not be required to be within 10 miles of Ribbons, I'm not even going to look at how much it would cost. :p
Yeah, I'll come if I can afford. Although on my salary, giving me time to save would put the AGIalia Melbourne in 2015.

Keep an eye out, wildlife are running wild in the 2nd largest city in Australia. I mean, really. In and out of commerical buildings and everything. Drop bears have evolved to fall from ceilings...
Honestly, I don't even think anything could surive in the Yarra River, let alone anywhere inside the city walls (that's right, there's a large 16-foot brick wall surrounding Melbourne to keep the wild fierce Red Kargaroos - and the bogans - out)
-
More quotes queued for the QOTD. Some of Yardstick's gems are in there now.
-
Hee. According to the 'hits' counter, I'm the first one to notice this (http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/buddielist.cgi)...
-
Double post...
I don't know how many people have noticed this, but I've been archiving the templates of each POTM that's been featured on the Main Page. My point? Well, I've just now managed to add some wikicode which automatically uses the POTM Infoboxes to find, and if in existence, link the 'details' field of the infobox to the archived template. See Juliet (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Juliet) or Officer 1BDI (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Officer_1BDI) for examples.
-
I noticed. Well, I wondered what you were doing. As for the auto-link, I assumed the wikiFairy was doing it.

Hee!
From now on, I wanna be the WikiFairy. :cool:
-
Hehe. That's no way not becoming a page update.
-
Hehe. You did that. ;)
Anyway, coldangel_1 has given us permisson (http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/Futurama/4-001585-1/#t23) to unlock his page. So... That can be done now.
BTW, Spiff, you still remember my bid for sysopship, right?
-
I guess you have to do something really drastic to get a page on WikiPeelia. I always assumed I would be unable to be forgotten do to my eyesore of a avatar. Where's the love?
-
Xanfor: Y'know, if you hadn't started (and kept) asking, you would probably a sysop by now; I certainly never asked. Just something to think about. ;)
Zephid: actually, your avatar is all I ever remember about you. I can never remember your name, let alone any of your posts. In fact, I've already forgotten what you posted, as all I can think about is what a god-awful eyesore your avatar is.
-
And who he's friends with.
Generally speaking, those who ask receive. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
-
@tnuk: Is it possible to change the title to "PEELalia 2009" rather than include Melbourne in the title? Only because Melbourne will unlikely be the actual location of the event.
-
Bah. I forgot about this... my page is boooooring. I liked it at first, though.

Well atleast the avatar is working correctly. If I wanted anyone to remember anything I've said I might have posted more than 300 times in 3 years. That 3 years of hard posting is about a days work for you folks so I hope the avatar burns, and burns good.

Yah, it's possible. However, I would then need to fix a bajillion (five) links, so no dice.
-
TNUK: The place hasn't been the same without your unique brand of sarcasm! :)
-
I'm not a sarcastic person. I have no idea why people keep calling me sarcastic. I'm the most genuinely honest and open person any of you will ever know, science doctor man.
You can't hear it, but in my head there's a man growling at you for suggesting that I'm anything less than 100% honest 100% of the time. I have never been sarcastic.

Uh Huh.....

Done. Next time you want something done, take a crack at it yourself. Once you've fucked up, then ask me to put it right, mmkay?

*narrow eyes* What, do I look like a guy who's not lazy to you?
*Guilty Edit* Thankyouu very much tnuk. It's just tough-love, y'know?

Yeah. Done. Updated. WikiFairy may arse, if I hadn't gotten un-lazy and done that, it wouldn't ever have been done.
-
I vote for tnuk to have some award bestowed upon him for working on the peel wiki so diligently, even after the drugs set in!
-
I already have enough PEEL awards to fill a toddler with, but thanks for the thought. Also, more content added to the Banstick Article (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Banstick) a day or so ago.
Now off to find more stuff to tweak.

You didn't give me no time! :p

Blah di blah, I've given Xannyboy permission to open my wikipage again

Although I, Xanfor, have given others plenty of time.
The Main Page (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) is now updated. WYSIWYG if you allow me to write up the Featured PEELer box when I know nothing of the person.

That is so full of win :D

WikiPEELia is now officially half evil:
(http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/9365/mainpagewikipeelia11998vb0.png)
-
I hope the wiki gets updated soon. I need something newish to read up on. :)
-
Ok, public input needed.
NSWiki is having troubles, as in the template for it doesn't work because the site itself has been reduced to a read-only database with different url encoding. Should...
- ... the NSWiki template be changed to link to the read-only database pages, or
- ... the ProfileNationStates template be changed to link to the DROOPWiki (http://droop-wiki.ktsltd.co.uk/index.php?title=Main_Page) instead.
Some people might have some things on their NSWiki pages that they haven't copied over to DROOPWiki yet, so that's why I'm asking.
-
The former, because I care about NS so much!
-
Thank you, Gopher. You made a hard decision very easy for me. :)
-
Context please?
-
He took care of the NationStates issue by himself, using proposal one.
-
What ever happened with that? Was the old database replaced by the wiki or has it simply not been updated in a long time?
-
I have to hug whoever put the little blurb about me in the WikiPEELia page. It's 3 simple sentences that make-a-me-a-happy.
(http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1574966/2/istockphoto_1574966_thumbs_up_naked_guy_with_moustache.jpg)
-
Now that the PEELies results are in, all those who care should go update their pages with the number of awards they have won.
-
Should I just lie and say that I won a PEELie?
-
I intend to lie and say I won "most retired" PEELer.
-
I endorse your made up award Wooter. I can't remember what all you were nommed in; actually I don't even remember who won what... or who presented what awards.... I kind of remember, but I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to it while I worked on it. Also, I pimped the hell out of the wiki; I think I actually got the links better on the stats pages than the person who edited the peelies page on the wiki. The links on the stats page have all the usernames spelled as they are on PEEL and link directly their wiki counterparts excepting the people who didn't have wiki pages in the first place. In those cases they link to what the page should be.... hopefully somebody will go and make those wiki pages: wink wink nod nod. ;)
-
That's weird, I just edited my page a bit and it still says "last modified on 2 March".
edit: okay, not anymore.
-
Mwahahah, with 9 PEELies I'm still on top. Winners' roll of honour updated.
-
Xanfor: Well, whether or not to add links to this new wiki I left in the air, but tweaking it fix all the bad NSWiki URLs was pretty trivial. Were the existing pages copied over, or is it just a replacement/alternative?
-
*bump*
Started to make a page for Sedna (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Sedna) and got a little carried away finding a way to have it properly show off her avatar. The end result: An adequate solution that will have to be redone when her rank changes. Oh, and I'm late for work.
-
...that's absolutely awesome, Gopher.
-
thanks; I had to make myself stop and call it done since, as I mentioned, I was late for work; I might play around with it more later, or I might wait until she goes up a rank, she can't be far from starship captain now, right?
-
Great jorb there.
Now if we could only get the spacing right... :)
-
I wish my article contained bullshit... Because I'm very boring in real life.
-
got a little carried away finding a way to have it properly show off her avatar
Argh! Tricky... that hurt my eyes for a few seconds cuz I didn't quite see what was going on... Now it's cool :) I still think tis the coolest avvy since sliced bread.

Well, so much for my new avy. :cry:

Oh, thanks so much. I saw that the other day and loved it. Thought it was cooler than the avatar itself. :)
Don't worry about when my rank changes... uh, IF it ever changes. (I chose Sedna as a name because of the planetary object (http://www.gps.caltech.edu/~mbrown/sedna/) itself. That's how my Internet access seems to be - regular for very short periods of time, then nothing for ages.)
Can I get some help for the page itself? I don't know how to work with Wikis. Or at least not well.
-
The best way to figure it out is to go to other pages and click edit, then look at how they worked. If you need anything specific, you can ask and I'm sure somebody will be able to help out. :)
-
I know how to do almost all of it now after making my own page and updating the Hall of Emperors. So if you need any help ask me or Xanfor who knows way more than I do.
-
Yes. Ask them... I don't know anything about that technical voodoo. Some people need to get together and update it a lot sometimes all the time.
-
Having actually bothered to register on wikipeelia now, does anyone want to give me a crash course in how to make my page look better?
-
Depends on what you want to do...
The best way to learn how to do it is to take a hands on approach and dive right in... Try clicking the edit button on other people's pages and see how theirs is written.
-
Aight, will do later. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within has just finished installing :D
-
^Have patience with it, it's a shitty game compared to The Sands of Time, but you'll need to go through it to get the full experience from The Two Thrones, which is not nearly as shitty.
-
Well, the plot isn't as good, but it gives combat a lot more options. When I played sansd of time, I was rather upset that I couldn't use wall running in combat.
-
Yeah I'm basically looking at this as the Two Towers of the trilogy - necessary in order to understand the third, but not as much fun :p Already getting frustrated with block-everything bullshit mobs and cameras changing direction suddenly so now left is forward and oh-look-I-just-ran-into-eleventy-billion-traps.
I am now going to the pub or I will stab my housemates in their faces.
-
Fixed up the abortion naming that someone did of the latest PEELalia meet. Besides the fact I can't remember what username I saw who last edited the wiki because I was so angry, they did it all wrong, and moreso I don't even think they were an Aussie. Get out! Get out! Get out! You FAIL at chronology and knowing stuff about the meet if you weren't there.
[/rant]
Anyway, it's fixed now. Could do with a definite neaten up and a few more images, but I was rushed slapping at least some information together before discovering whoever had fiddled with the original page that already existed for it. Longest sentence ever. *breathe* okay i'm done.
-
I looked at the history (it's the button next to edit), and I have to wonder if you're overreacting. Certainly didn't see anything to get all ragey about.
And it was Keffo.
-
*grumbles*
Yeah he's the one.
New pages were created with the wrong titles, wrong & vague information, and another was renamed incorrectly. I don't understand why Keff would be going in there anyway in the first place editing and creating pages since they didn't attend the meet, nor are they even Australian.
There was a page already created in preparation for the meet months ago, then another random new page was made with a title that wasn't even in continuity with the other meets. It made no sense...
[/defensive about our things]
Bottom Line: Leave the creation & major editing of meet pages for people who actually ATTEND the specific meets. (of course that doesn't apply if you're fixing code or spell-checking, we thank you for your help, of course)
-
the wiki just makes me miss everyone when i read it.. :(
-
Well you can sit there wallowing in sadness or you can do something about it and hire bounty hunters to bring them back.
-
You know what I like? Having a wiki article dedicated to me. You know what I like more? Having two (http://www.editthis.info/superdickery/Alabaster) wiki articles dedicated to me.
-
Well today I edit my profile a tiny bit. but really don't know most of the codes. can anybody help? How do I add a picture?
-
The best way to figure it out is to click edit on other people's pages and copy on how it's done. Be sure to use the preview button a lot while editing. I'd give you the code off the top of my head, but I don't know it off the top of my head. :)
-
So is it just me or is WikiPEELia down?
-
WikiPEELia has always been down with it. :)
I hope this post has been helpful!
-
More helpful than you can possibly comprehend.
-
Well, I'm done. I had a good run at helping with wikiPEELia's upkeep and general maintenance, but now I'm done. Anybody else thinks I was doing a good enough job, they can blame Jeremy.
I'm quite annoyed, but not actually annoyed enough to stop editing things. They may be less helpful than before, but I'll still make the occasional contribution.
-
And thus we see another vitem of that stuipd clown's unstopable rampage. Damn him....damn him to hell....THAT DAMN DIRTY APE!!!
-
You have no one to blame but yourself, doucheburger.
Since it was deleted from the other thread,
Sequence of events:
- TNUK makes an entry on Amy's page about how she'll break your heart.
- Someone deletes it
- BirthdayClown decides to help a TNUK out by re-posting that entry.
- TNUK bans BirthdayClown
- TNUK then writes a bunch of lame shit on Jeremy's wiki page.
- BirthdayClown writes one thing on TNUK's wiki page.
- Winna deletes it
- TNUK bans BirthdayClown again.
-Spiff is awesome.
Don't try to make me look like the bad guy here. Blame yourself, not me. You're the douchey douchebag. If you can't see that, well, I guess it's because you're a douchebag, right? LOL at you banning someone for posting the same exact entry that you posted, then writing a bunch of shit about them, then banning them again for writing one thing about you. You don't deserve to have any power. I'm glad Spiff is smart enough to see that. Talk to the hand, girlfriend.
-
It's a joke man lighten up.
-
I wasn't talking to you, guy. But you can also talk to the hand. Gimme your email address.
-
the "someone" who removed tnuk's comment was tnuk. Or possibly amy, who I gather has most of his passwords now.
Either way, I feel like people take the wiki waaaaaay too seriously.
Really.
Too seriously.
-
wiki is very gay.
-
Jeremy uses the word douche too much, that douchebag.
jk i wuv u
-
Well, the guy is a douchebag. :)
Last post from me on this subject: I had nothing to do with you losing your powerz, TNUK. If you think I went crying to Spiff, you're wrong. If you have a problem, take it up with him. Don't point your filthy Cockney finger at me.
And all this defending myself makes it look like I care about wikipeelia. Fuck you for that. Wikipeelia is quite gay. LOL at the whole idea of a wikipeelia.
-
Yes, yes, we're all douchebags. Get over it.
-
I'm not a douchebag.
I aspire to be more of a complete asshole. I'm a ill-tempered, beer-swilling, finger-gestering, foul-mouthed redneck who is just two steps (maybe just one now) away from being a full blown alcoholic.
Credit must be given to my old supervisor, Shari Sykes for the description of me that she gave to Kelly two weeks before we got married. I've gone downhill since that time.
-
Ralph when i started reading your "ill-tempered, beer-swilling, finger-gestering..." the 1st thing i thoughed was "so in one word, Redneck?" and then i read you wrote redneck too ;)
-
Were is my article?
-
Dood, there's more to being a true "redneck" than having all of those qualities. I'm sure there are plenty of Russians, Brits, Canadians, Germans, etc. who have all those positive qualities but would never be classy enough to be a "redneck".
Redneck is a state of mind and a state of being that I'm sad to say is a dying breed. A Redneck is the type of guy who won't bail you out of jail because he's in jail with you. A true redneck is a guy nobody fucks with because they know his credo: "Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. Fuck with me and I'll kill you."
So you guys watch the "pseudo-rednecks" and "wanna-be's" like Jeff Foxworthy and Larry, The Cable Guy. They may be from the South but they're not rednecks. They're not tough or classy enough to fit into the genre.
And yes, you must know the lyrics to the song "Freebird" to qualify as a true Southern Redneck. (A true Redneck is born knowing the lyrics to all Lynyrd Skynyrd songs.)
When one of them has bitten another person's nose completely off in a bar room brawl or have sat on a Harley in a prison's parking lot waiting for the jailer to say that a murderer has been executed, then they can give me a call. Until then, they may be rich, but they're still not the real deal.
And lastly, to quote Kelly when she first met me: "Most men can't wear leather and not look gay. You (meaning me) can pull it off, the 'I don't give a fuck what you think' look on your face just cinches it."
And that's why she loves me.
-
Vanguard20: do it yourself
Ralph: i know i know, but it fitted so well to you :p
-

Yeah, and I can buy a C-3 and a C-5 Corvette for rock bottom prices because I can absorb the price of oil with the amount of driving I do.
-
Seriously, you weren't being helpful, and you knew it.
I wouldn't have decided to abuse any power I may have had, if you hadn't been a dickhead. Of course, I fully intend one day to cure you of that. By removing said head.
Oh fuck it, I'm not bothered anymore. Now I can post whatever the hell I like there, and somebody more responsible can decide whether or not it is appropriate. I was getting tired of having to be sensible anyway.
But Jeremy, I still fucking hate you. No longer for anything specific, I just think you're a despicable piece of shit, and I want you to die. Nothing personal! :)
------------------
TNUK. (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/User:Totalnerduk) PEEL's first 25-star General, and 3rd Resident Corrupt Despot (2006-2007)
7x PEELie (http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/Futurama/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=PEELies&number=18) winner (2002 through 2006) (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Totalnerduk#PEELies). POTM winner April 2006. tnuk you! Proud owner of 1,985 Nixorbucks.
-
Mega-Ditto's for tnuk's post.
If tnuk hadn't already won POTM, I'd nominate him for the above post alone.
Besides, unlike CorvetteForums (of which I'm a moderator), a ban here means nothing. Get banned, make up another account, continue being a stain on humanity. Jeremy is a perfect example of the mentioned stain.
At CorvetteForums, I can limit offenders posting priviledges but not outright ban them. A PM from me tells the person what they did wrong, promise not to do it again and I'll restore their posting priviledges. Be a dick about it, I then send it to the admin (Cor07vette) who bans the person and arranges it so they can't come back under a different account.
(With over 185,000 members and a huge post rate at CF, there are ten mods for the C-4 section alone. Agent 86, Gold Cylon and I mod just two of the subsections of C-4.)
-
Bans do still mean things.... they're just workable around... Most people won't want to start a new account... and all the people that were banned and started a new account waited several months before doing so. Furthermore, unlike your corvette forum... Most of the people that can ban cannot unban. Only marc and slimmy can unban people, so it's usually reserved as a last resort sort of thing... and marc and slimmy don't ban people... they delete accounts, if it's that serious.
All that said... the rules around here have become more and more lax over the years... and the mini-modding has gone up against new members.
Anyways, for the record, I think you did a good job working on wikipeelia tnuk, and I appreciate all the work that people have done to build it over the years. It's a very nice and enjoyable resource. :)
-
You also forget how old PEEL is as far as forums are concerned. When it came out it was loaded with stuff that didn't actually exist yet. Now it's just way behind because of its age. So you can't expect all those fancy features. At least until the fortold Second Coming of PEEL.
-
Can I be updated to Liquid Emperor on my Wiki? I don't know how to do it.
-
Just did it.
-
Thanks Frisco, I didn't know how to do that I should learn but hey whatcha gonna do?
-
Do what I do. Find somebody that has what you want, copy it and figure out what has to be changed to make it yours.
-
Okay I can handle that. That's how I got a couple of things on my page but it took me a while to get it cooperate with me.
-
I learned most of it from the DROOPwiki actually but if you ever need to know anything just ask....or better yet ask Xanfor, TNUK or Zed, they know way more than me.
-
Ok can do. I'll see if one of them can tell me how to add the Drank Such and such and get put in the Hall of Emperors. I'll figure it out at some point how to update the wikiPEELia and stuff.
What's DROOPwiki?
-
Did the drank thing already for ya. I forgot to do the hall though. I'll get right on it.
-
Thanks Frisco, I need to learn how to do this stuff on my own. I also really need to get my computer to cooperate with me but it refuses to tonight I have no clue why.
-
Computers have a mind of there own they don't need a reason to do anything.
-
Yeah true. Mine just hates me today, and every other day.
-
Frisco, do you think you could change mine to Professor please?
Or somebody?
Thanks :D
-
Done. Yay I did it all by myself. :)
-
Awesome.
And congrats on liquid emperor, Bf :)
-
Your welcome and thanks.
-
Yeah, looking at other people's pages is the best way to learn how to edit. Also, preview is your best friend. ;)
P.S. You guys know we have a chatroom right?
-
If you are talking about #fc I can't get on there so it's kinda hard for me to talk there.
-
Why specifically can't you get on there?
Because if it's because the PEEL/CGEF applet won't work for you.... you might try these.
unPEEL Java Chate applet (http://geomys.com/unpeelified/fc/)
euIRC HTML Chat applet (http://webchat.euirc.net/webchat/en/)
-
The only time I ever got on #fc was when I was at my aunt's house. So I'm not sure what is wrong....
Wait the unPEEL one works now (for the first time ever,) but it never worked before so maybe there was sometihng wrong with Java here but it works now... it could also be the fact that I use Fire Fox. I hope that it will work later today.
Thanks Winna.

Now all you need is somebody there to chat to. :)

I might update the wiki for PEELathon VI. Y'know, only if nobody has a problem with me doing that? Just asking in case. Y'know, 'cause I'm such an irresponsible prick that anything I put there is likely to cause offense to somebody. Somebody who in all likelihood deserves a fiery decapitation.
Anybody got any problems with me doing that? The wiki edit, I mean, not the decapitation of a probable somebody whose most likely username is going to be similar to CelebrationEntertainer. Just asking.
I have pics.
-
sweet i was wondering who wasn't gonna be lazy enough to do that. i already updated mine and taco's :love:
-
Is that what people call it nowadays? "Updating your taco" ??
Whatever you're cool with, I guess.
-
Updating your taco... nominating... same thing.
-
I'm nominating right now. My wife. For a competition. Nominating. Nomnomnomnominating.
-
(Thinks about it....passes up obvious joke.) Too easy.
-
Ms. PEELified (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Ms_PEELified) will need to be updated soon. I'd like to suggest a photo archive of winners as well.
PEELathon VI I will look at adding pics to when I get a few minutes spare.
I'm back in edit mode again, but as I no longer have super powers, I am no longer taking requests.
-
I'm afraid to join this thing now because if I do I'm afraid someone will put me in the NOOB category :o.
Can someone please promise me not to? I'd love to join and help you totalnerduk but I am just afraid. Tha'ts all, in case you were wondering.
-
Well to be fair you are a noob. We all were at some point so you can't really complain about it.
-
I bet Nurdbot wasn't.

That's not true actually.
Although it depends on your definition. I think a lot of what it has to do with is how a new member integrates into a new community; the lurker types who try to understand the community and assimilate themselves into it smoothly would not be considered noobish in my opinion.
-
there are people who actually do that?
loooooosers.

I read the boards for a month or two before deciding to join so I had a good idea what to do once here :)
-
Yeah, me too. I read them like a book. It took me a year and a half.

peel sex logo? what have i been missing!how'd that get on my page?!

Why doesn't Bear have a wikipeel-entry?
-
abf: Tnuk and/or Amy's little project. Hadn't said it until now but frankly I find it a bit tacky, little different from putting notches on your belt or bedpost.
gudbjorg: why should he? If whoever holds the stringspassword to his account doesn't feel the need to compose their own page, I can't imagine anything that would compel me to feed the beast by doing it for him.
-
It's not my fault! :nono:
-
I've never known a gopher to do a favor for a bear.
-
meh, you're just jealous gopher. All it means is that a person has had sex with another peeler. No names are included. I don't think it's tacky, funny actually.

Nobody creates their own pages. If you wait long enough around here, somebody will do it for you.

Because he can make one himself! :)
Goooo Bear!

Regarding waiting, people making pages and such...gaschief made mine within two weeks of me joining, without asking me, and then wrote to me to tell me about it.
Otherwise I probably wouldn't even have one.

It'd be even weirder if your icon started showing up on everyone else's page.
-
Slackito2, what do i have to do to get that icon on my profile? :confused: Does :love:ing gudbjorg count?
-
Actually Nick, I didn't make it. It's been on wiki for quite some time now, I just went ahead and moved it onto peoples pages.
I think its silly for people to take it off. You made the "mature" choice to sleep with someone, it's likely everyone else already knows, so why not leave it up. Atleast you'll be seen as a nerd thats gotten some.
-
I made it. I was originally going to copy-paste the entire thing onto another site, like wikia. I was going to call it "WikiPEELia with blackjack and hookers" and show who had hooked up with who. But then I got bored.
-
With all due respect Amy, I also wish to make the mature choice to keep those things to myself.
I'm not saying that you should remove it from everyone's profile, I just prefer not to have something like that on mine.
If everyone knows about it anyway, I don't see why I need to add it to my page as well.
-
I know who made it... I'm also aware that you were in on putting it on people's pages.... an accomplice, if you will.
However, generally speaking, I have to agree with abf... some matters are better left private, and personally I'd rather not divulge into other people's sex lives.
All of that aside, I'm not saying it's a bad thing; if you enjoy it, then by all means indulge. It's a little tacky, but it isn't hurting anybody as long as you're not diving into other people's personal affairs... You and others may find it to be rather exciting and fun, which is perfectly alright. ey ey?
-
I have to agree with Winna and ABF - there are a few things that people don't want to get around. Whatever happens or doesn't happen between people is their business and I think that something as personal should be off-limits unless the person(s) involved give permission for such an icon to be used.
Even though that little icon may bring a laugh and grin to some people's faces, it has the potential to do far worse damage to somebody's rep and potentially to any current or future relationships.
Permission should be asked before placing that icon on somebody's page. The person doesn't need to give a reason, just a "No," should surfice.
-
WOW! I can't even read this thread anymore without sweating like a dog! A bear dog. PLEASE people let's keep the tension level a little lower ok? SLackito2, I like you. Airbagfailure, I like you. Please like me together and like each other as a result :) This should be a STRESS FREE place :)
-
Bear. I swear you are not real.
I think the only person stressed here is you.
There's been a difference of opinions, and that's all..
-
Well that does ease my mind a bit. Good. Thank you. Now I just need to hear from Winna so I know we can all move on from this as friends.
-
Originally posted by airbagfailure:

He's real, just another alias for another PEELer, much like HypnoBrecky.
-
dammit, I've been here all this time and no ones thought to make a page about me :cry:
now I feel left out :cry:
-
Completely agree with Ralph. While something may be seen as a bit of spice and a way of adding fun to WikiPEELia, the individual PEELer should have final authority on what is and isn't fair game. All it takes is saying no. I mean, we even allow people to opt out of the Wiki entirely, right?
And that includes outright spelling it too. :nono:
-
I agree. Please nobody put that thing on me and gudbjorg's and Sil's pages at the same time last night. Thank you
-
Originally posted by Ralph Snart:

Hate to break it to you, but HYPNoBRECKY isn't an alias for somebody else. She's a real person with one account (HYPNoBRECKY) and she lives out in Arizona. Short of you having some sort of information that I'm unaware of, I'm going to go with she was real all along.... probably rather newish at the internet and very excited about meeting people on a futurama message board. That's not so wrong, is it?
-
*looks at Amy's update to abf's page*
Why do you care so much about abf's sex life? I mean, I even saw you talking about it in that lame video chatroom.
(Hojew posted a link and I clicked on it, not realizing it was a link to a chatroom.)
Are you secretly attracted to her? What's the dealio?
Just stop being a stupid gossip, okay? Thanks. :)
-
My sex life is interesting?! I didn't know that!
-
We talk about it all the time... but at least most of us have the common courtesy to do so behind your back. :rolleyes:
-
Hi winna. :)
-
We do? I knew nothing about this (involving another PEELer) till I saw this thread/wiki :confused:

No. I was making stuff up.
Hi BirthdayClown. :)

For the record Amy, I thought it was a good idea as long as the person is ok with it.

i guess marc figured that if someone is that bothered by something on the internet when they are drunk it must be bad... or something

I wonder who Bear is....
-
I have no idea how BC crossed the line this time, but while most of his posts are just mean-spirited fun, he definately crosses the line at times attacking some people.
And personally I don't approve of the whole "I'm gonna make a fake account so I can be as vicious and hateful as I want" thing. If you wanna be vicious and hateful, I can respect that, but if you require the protection of a fake identity to be vicious and hateful, you get no points at all in my book.
-
Can we just shut up about all the e-drama and return back to the good old days where we made jokes about my spelling when I first joined and masturbation? I really doubt anyone cares who did who. I think that stuff really shouldn't have any place on WikiPEELia. It incites this sort of thing.
When it was first suggested, I think we were all hoping for amusement not drama between PEELers the likes of which MyBook or whatever causes. Stop the PEELer on PEELer hatin'!
EDIT: Come on, who's with me? fap fap?

I would respond, but you did not misspell anything in that post that I can see, so I guess I'll just go masturbate now.

While the prospect of going Old Yeller on my bandsaw has not escaped me, in fact I've been severely tempted to bash it with the angle iron I was trying so futilely to cut, it is decidedly troglodytic and un-nerdy.

Whatever was there, -mArc- has taken care of it.
Just when I thought that -mArc- just dropped in occasionally, he surprises me by seeming to have been monitoring the board.
I know he would turn down the offer but I would love to be able to start a donation drive so we could buy him plane tickets and a hotel room the next time a comic-con or a theatrical screening of the next Futurama DVD comes, just so he would get the chance to meet DXC and vice-versa. He just seems too humble of a guy to accept things like that.
-mArc-, we love ya, man. Take it as a compliment.
-
hmm, i could drive over and visit him and edel... not like they live far away ;)

I don't know why you haven't done that yet. I'm sure they'd appreciate the company; maybe someone should edit your wiki to remind you. :p

He quoted Amy's post with the stated intention of making it impossible for her to edit/remove her post. E.g., he chose to be mean-spirited and acted with the goal of making someone else suffer. That's not acceptable on PEEL.
-
It must've been a quite horrid post to warrant the Banstick™: Wii Edition. Regardless of the degree of which the general PEEL will never know, it's good to know that [-mArc-] still prowls the PEEL. I agree with Ralph's proposal of a drive for next year to get him something to show our appreciation after 10 years of this venture.
-
@ i_c_weiner.. better yet. Lets take up a collection so [-mArc-] can join a PEELathon here in the states.
:-)

I'm gonna buy him a pizza :)
Marc what is your address please? Do they have pizza deliveries in Germany? :confused:

mom: Ralph proposed a collection so he can go to Comic-Con and meet DXC in person. I like the PEELathon idea as well.
Bear: North Dakota to Germany would be quite the delivery.

Insignificant WikiPEELia News:
Since Frisco seemed impressed with the term "PEELanoia" I posted on another thread I have recently made a wiki page about it.
So far it isn't very big or very good, but maybe with extra input from you funderful people....?

Oh God. It's Decapodian's fake account. Somebody hit it with a shovel, please.

soooo pestering someone (abf) about their sex life is not mean spirited? what?
yet just quoting someone's post deserves a ban? he could've said 'lol', what would that have changed? not to mention people should have enough common sense to know that if they get drunk and post on peel others can read their posts. doesn't make any sense...

I see your point, Marge, but you're assembling the circumstances in a fashion to suit your cause, and in doing so you leave out the malicious intent, however passive it might be, which most of us have seen coming from BC before, oftentimes unprovoked. Call him an effective troll, whatever. Say people need to grow thicker skin, whatever. The bottom line is PEEL doesn't need that kind of attitude or open hostility. An "us-versus-them" mentality is never good for a message board.
I do see your point, I really do, but I agree with the ban. I won't say I've never laughed at a BirthdayClown post, and I won't say he doesn't deserve to be here, but his passive aggressive, grudge-holding, meanie-face tendencies don't belong here.

eh, if I'm understanding you correctly, at the left side of the page click "recent changes" and you can see the most recent changes made to any topic.
If you are looking for yours specifically, go to your page and click history. You might have to be logged in, I can't remember. Anyways, once there you can click the little bubbles and "compare selected versions" to see who added what. Or, next to any person that you see edited your page, click "last" and it will show you what they changed in green.

From that position the tip of my middle finger can barely reach my anus! My arms would have to be six inches longer (at least) AND I'd need a wrist that could been backwards by 120 degrees or so. Then there's the issue of sphincter control.
P.S. How did you get the nested quotes?

Stop being a bitch for the sake of it.
If I still had superpowers on the wiki, you'd be banned for that. Vandalsim of something that people have worked long and hard to fill with either truthful and releavant or just genuinely funny content is not big and it isn't clever.
The wiki is about chronicling the people of PEEL, and also about having a good natured laugh. It's not about throwing people's hard work away, nor is it about making people unhappy.
Removing the "peelsex" logo from ABF's page is something that was done to make ABF feel better. That's something we can all agree was a good thing. Not everybody wants to advertise the fact that they've slept with another PEELer, even if they don't say who it was.
Making a nusiance out of yourself for the sake of it, and posting stuff with the sole intention of irritating people and laughing at their expense (not to mention the amount of content you've blanked since the wiki got started) is a really shit-headed thing to do.
Yeah, I'm probably taking things too seriously/personally here, and I know that the mighty Codefish thinks that it's childish to do so. But fuck Codefish. I loved the idea of wikiPEELia. I thought that it was a great way to preserve the spirit of andf the great things about this community.
When I see people like HJS and BC deciding to use the wiki as a tool to humiliate people and to sow their seeds of idiocy and bad feeling, then I truly despair of the human race. They might by a very slender thread cling on to belonging to PEEL, but they most certainly do not belong on wikiPEELia.
Of course, Spiff disagrees with me, but hey. Fuck Spiff too.
I stand by my convictions. If that means that I ca't be a super-user on the wiki, then that's fine. I won't be responding further to this argument. Anybody who wants to can take it to email.
-
K, doublepost, but whatever. Needs to be seperate.
I've just done quite a bit of work on the wiki. I don't expect BC or HJS to go undoing any of it. Some of it was on their behalf, they should be very fucking grateful, if anything.
If they do decide (or anybody does) to vandalise any more of it, then I'll be askign Spiff for my old powers back to ban them for a month. I'd like to know who would support me and mail Spiff on my behalf if I asked them to, saying that it's good idea. If nobody would, then forget it. If there are a few people who would like to back me up so that I can continue to try and make the wiki as great as it deserves to be, then that would be great. Greatly great.
Also, airbags, can we discuss the apparant blanking of all content from your page please? At the very least, we could have your avatar on there with your rank and a set of stars. Somebody with superpowers could then lock the page.
I can understand you're not too happy about the disclosure of you having sexxed another PEELer, but that doesn't need to go back on there.
It was never meant to be placed on pages where it would cause offense. I'm not BirthdayClown, after all.
Speaking of the PEELsex icon, I'm considering making it smaller and more unobtrusive anyways.

My only problem with your speach, tnuk, is that there seems to be an unreasonably large overlap between what you concider to be "the spirit of andf the great things about this community" and ... things related to and/or documented by you.
Before you launch into your third long-winded rant about how you losing your power on the wiki is a sign of the impending apocalypse, you might want to take the opportunity to take a step back, a few deep breaths, and try to get some perspective.
Edit: also..
to hj... if you want to make rude comments about tnuk's writing style on an article, that's what discussion pages are for. Example, "And really? Two climax entries in a row? How creative." Was a perfectly valid critical note, but it didn't belong in the middle of the BC article.

Can I help it if I've become all-pervasive or have an interest rooted in so many parts of PEEL and so many PEELers that I seem to be all pervasive? I guess I can. The fact is that a large proportion of the content on the wiki was written by me. Of course there's a large overlap.
Before you launch into your third long-winded rant about how you losing your power on the wiki is a sign of the impending apocalypse,
Not going to do that. Wasn't aware that's what either of those two posts were about. Thanks for the info though.
you might want to take the opportunity to take a step back, a few deep breaths, and try to get some perspective.
Perspective at this point is that you're seeing me as a pompous ass who just wants power back so that he can abuse it. If that's the majority opinion, then I ought to fire my publicist.
Fine. Fuckit. I've already said I'm not responding to this, and here I am responding. More to say? Criticism? An opinion that you think I'd benefit from reading? Email me.

I'm not saying you're some moustached villian plotting to rape and pillage wikipeelia. But you had gradually begun to treat the place more and more like your personal playground instead of PEEL's collective playground.
Many, if not most, of us are glad there are people like you and xanfor patrolling the place and updating content. But spending the most time there does not mean you own it more than any other peeler.
-
Gopher, I don't know what your problem is.
Tnuk is right, he has done more for wiki than anyone else, and he actually gives a crap about what people put there. He shouldn't have lost his powers for banning BC, because BC was putting crap all over the place.
You ALL have a problem with what I wrote on Airbags page, but BC was doing that kind of crap on a few peoples pages, and none of you had a problem with that. Tnuk did the right thing in banning him, and if he was still a mod, he probably would have banned me for a month too after what I wrote.
He deserves to be a mod more than any one else, simply because he wants to be, and cares enough to be. I doubt you'd be upset if you lost your powers gopher for banning a deserving person, because from what I can see, you haven't bothered with the wiki in awhile.
-
I never claimed to "own" the wiki. For those who have not noticed, I'm an extremely arrogant man, and I tend to believe that my own opinions are far more valid than most other people's. I may have appeared to be acting like I thought I owned it, but that's probably true of everything up to and including the building I work in.
Edit: also..
to hj... if you want to make rude comments about tnuk's writing style on an article, that's what discussion pages are for. Example, "And really? Two climax entries in a row? How creative." Was a perfectly valid critical note, but it didn't belong in the middle of the BC article.
I'd like to point out that the second entry was not mine.
A general rule of thumb: if somebody is able to make a valid criticism about something on the wiki, then either it's not my entry or somebody has altered it.
As far as treating the place like my own personal playground goes, I was just trying to keep a consistent and high-quality flow of information there.
It's hard to tread the line between avuncular correction based on the above and tyrannical dictatorship based on pure whim. I think I did more of the former than the latter.
Also, Amy has a point. I would have deleted her comments, and probably given her a time-limited ban. She fails to mention, though, that she would have made me suffer for it.
-
Does anyone else know what he just said? :confused:
-
I had a problem with most of BC's edits, as I had a problem with most of his posts here. I just don't bother complaining about it because BC is not a real person, he's a persona crafted in part for the purpose of pissing people off and making them complain. Thus there is no possible benefit to me from letting him get under my skin. Real people are a different matter.
I may have appeared to be acting like I thought I owned it, but that's probably true of everything up to and including the building I work in.
This is the only point I was trying to make in the first place. Well, that plus the radical suggestion that, if you tried, you might be able to curb this bad habit. :D

Amy, I don't think what you did deserved a banning. What you did was a joke that backfired. So what, we've all done stuff like that. The difference between you and BC was, what you did didn't have any malice behind it. Anything Jeremy/Birthday Assclown does is nothing but full of malice. (I have to ask why Margarita defends him so strongly. She is capable of making well-formed and educated posts. Jeremy is nothing but a damned lifeless troll.)
He deserves to be a mod more than any one else, simply because he wants to be, and cares enough to be.
Not only do I agree with that but I'll state something sure to piss off a lot of people: I feel that despite his history on PEEL, tnuk should be a Mod at PEEL.

I think I know which page you're referring to. I wasn't going to keep it on there forever, just until we could approach an agreement as to what the truth was about. There was a lot going on there behind the scenes you know nothing about and at least two people were furious as to what they considered outright lies.
I made a decision, and locked it. Temporarily. It was a petty dispute between otherwise friends that does not need to be brought up by people who don't have the information necessary to make a balanced judgement, and who are not going to be given that information.
I did more good than harm, and certainly more good than you.
You want me banned from the wiki? Good luck with that, there's no reason for Spiff to lock me out now that I'm no longer a threat to the "joking around" that you say he hosted it for.
WikiPEELia was never intended to be super-serious (and may of my own edits are less than 100% serious) but a serious attitude occasionally needs to be taken to prevent it devolving into 394 articles that all read "PEEL is Gay" because HJS got bored one evening and everybody else is too lazy or too stupid to put it back the way it was.
Why do people get so offended by somebody wanting to strike a balance between goofing around and seriousness? You, Spiff, Codefish, all of you seem to have a vendetta against taking anything seriously. If none of us took anything seriously,we'd be fine with our bank details as well as our complete sexual histories being posted on the wiki. There have to be lines, and they have to be drawn in some arbitrary-seeming places. You just seem to like crossing them in the name of "joking around" without stopping to consider other people.
You know what? Some of the internet is serious business, and that's why people can get so bent out of shape over it. You need to recognise this occasionally, instead of being so smug, superiour, self-satisfied and supercilicious that you can't see what a prick you've become.
-
What the fuck is this shit, seriously.
A couple of things: Don't mail me, the e-mail address that used to be in my profile doesn't work anymore. There's no new address on there because of spam. If you want to contact me, post here. I usually just lurk, but I still read the thread.
Then, as for saying that someone is somehow entitled to have more of an impact on the wiki as other people: No. I don't care how much of your time you put into it. This is entirely by your own choice. I appreciate it if the wiki grows, but this doesn't mean any benefits for you. It's a wiki, it means that everyone can participate equally and frankly, that wasn't the case.
This is also the reason why I hardly do any edits: I'm hosting it, everything I write will be viewed with suspicion because I have more power on there than anyone else. Given that I want to avoid childish drama (at least drama that I caused), I'm not writing anything.
I also find it pretty arrogant to say that TNUK put more into the wiki than anybody else. If you ask me, if there is someone who stands out as the most valuable contributor, it's Gopher, because everything he contributed was constructive. And he contribured a lot.
That said, something more serious (on the internet, yes): I'm moving to a different country soon and I'm not quite sure how administrating the server will work from there. I'll try to do my best, but I'm not sure whether I have what I feel will be a secure connection (as in: whether ssh connections will work) and the time to follow the patch mailing lists and so on.
Gopher, would you be willing to take over hosting WikiPEELia if I sent you a database dump? If not, I'll do my best to leave this thing running.
-
Hi Spiff! :D
Thanks for hosting the wiki!

If Gopher won't, then [-mArc-] might. After all, wikiPEELia is practically part of PEEL. It could make sense to combine them under the www.peelified.com (http://www.peelified.com) domain.
-
Hrm. I dunno, I'm a pretty lazy site administrator really, never been good about things like keeping the latest patches installed (haven't even checked for PHPBB3 patches since I put up unpeel 6 months ago...) and my Deluxe El Cheapo web hosting has never felt like the most secure service to me. (I pay them almost nothing and get an absurd amount of disk space and bandwidth, and juuuust enough features to do almost anything I want, but as near as I can tell I don't get anything else, particurlarly not reliable support)
That said, I'm not entirely opposed.
-
I know I don't know much about hosting the wiki and such, but in one of my classes we had to create a wiki using pbwiki. Is that an option to rehost this if Gopher can't do it and Spiff can't run it from the new country?

Frankly, I agree with everything said by both totalnerduk and Ralph Snart. I still don't quite understand completely what tnuk did, but I've gotten the gist and I truly don't care to know more. What it was that got him defrocked, at least I know that it wasn't done with the pure imbecilic intent to spread nonsensicality and blatant obnoxious hatefulness. He's one of the only people who tends to keep an eye on when things begin to go askew there, and yet another of the only few who cares enough to keep it in the form of something presentable. The internet may not be "serious business" in and of itself, but it consists of people, and people are serious business, with no need for quotation marks. This drama may be considered childish, but hell, if concern for other people's feelings and attempting to preserve the integrity of what is supposed to be a group effort is childish, I sincerely hope to God that the disease from Miri wipes us all out in the next five minutes.

@ Spiff:
I know that you and I have a lot of philosophical and political differences and disagreements, but I do have to concur that both Gopher and TNUK have both put a lot of effort into the Wiki. I do feel the reason for stripping tunk of his Superuser powers was bogus. You obviously disagree but I do have to give my opinion: TNUK did a lot more good than bad and I will ask that you reconsider giving him back his Superuser status.
@ Xanfor:
LOL! Only a true Trek geek would wish the disease of the "Grups" on a group of sci-fi geeks. I love it.

Which would by extension agree with Frisco. But if you don't agree with Frisco, you don't agree with the other people you agree with. Meaning that you don't agree with yourself. Which would mean that if you disagree with yourself and you disagree with Frisco, you actually agree with Frisco, but you disagree with him...
I've gone cross-eyed. Can't you just disagree with everybody to keep it simple? A policy of blanket disagreement with the entire universe would at least help to decide which side of the fence you're on every time you come across a fence of some kind.

I was merely pointing out to Bend-err that his criticisms of my performance during my tenure as a sysop were not particularly valid.
If I decide that having sysop status back is particularly important to me, I'll ask whoever is in charge of the wiki at the time (as it seems as though it may change hands) if that can be done.
If not, I'll still be able to contact other sysops and point out action that needs to be taken which is not currently within my remit. So it's not as big a deal to me as you appear to imagine.
Sorry to burst your little spite-dream, but I'm really not crying about it.
-
Why does a fairly small wiki for an internet messageboard need a lot of security? I understand it's being on a personal server, and not wanting that to be compromised... but like Gopher said, he wasn't patching with unPEEL, and I doubt he had any problems. I also assume the traffic isn't too bad.... maybe 20 users a day? Most of the content is text.... I'm just guessing.
As far as all the drama goes, it is my belief that tnuk did a lot of good on the wiki; I certainly appreciate that, just like I appreciate all the work anybody does on it. I think he's fine with Spiff's decision for now, he just feels the need to defend himself, which seems fair. That said, he was cut off sysop for the reasons Spiffy stated; the wiki was supposed to be fair, and well... to be honest, because of this other drama stuff, tnuk used his powers in what could be easily seen as a privelaged manner. I have no intention on playing sides in this instance, as that's what a lot of it seemingly boils down to, but I will say that for the most part tnuk had good intentions and attempted to work fair and play well with most everybody.
Lastly, I'd like to point out that if you're going to play the "I would appreciate it if people didn't put certain things on there about me"/"If I edit my own entry, that should be good enough" cards.... Play that with everybody else.... even the jerks and the trolls.
All that said... I could hardly be suspicious of anything you wrote on your wiki Spiffy; from what I've seen, and of what you wrote, you've attempted to be fair in all matters despite the crutch of having the capability to do with it as you like. I tend to respect other people's things, and to be honest, you do currently own the wiki, and I think you've been nice enough to share it with everybody.
-
you have to stay up to date on patches if it's a long-term resource because eventually somebody armed with the latest mediawiki exploits (published by public mailing list and on the web) will stumble upon unpeel while looking for wikis to trash. If I left it up indefinately without patches, it would eventually happen to unpeel as well, but since it's usually locked and temporary anyway, I'm not overly concerned and took only minimal precuations to avoid losing the whole database.
-
What's with all the eDrama all of a sudden? Did someone forgot to lock the door to #futuramachat? Oh, right... I forgot that fun is serious business.
Meh, I only came to respond to something I read at work (about 2 pages back or something)....
I don't see how anyone can be surprised that TNUK lost his SysOp status. Granted it wasn't absolutely certain either, but abusing the ban-tool like that? Come on...
JoshTheater: Apparently he couldn't make it to PEELathon VI. TNUK added a mocking line to his page. Josh removed the line and updated the PEELathon page with his absent. "Banned for a week because he has a stick up his ass. This should give him time to remove it." Nice and friendly.
Jeremy: Now I know he isn't popular with several PEELers, but unless he has a third account I'm not familiar with he has made exactly 1 edit (pre-banning) to Slackit and TNUKS pages. Slackit's was borderline, the one on TNUKs was across the line. Contrast that with the BirthdayClown page which is 95% TNUK made and not exactly a declaration of love. Jeremy banned, TNUK continue editing.
I'm not siding with either here, just pointing out this wasn't exactly unjustified. They both made additions to the Wiki, mistakes were made, c'est la vie. Both can continue to add to WikiPEELia if they want to, so what's changed?
Though a lock on a couple of pages for a few days might not be without merit... Hmmm, decisions, decisions....
-
95? More like 50%, and none of it's over the line. But yeah, the rest of it's right. I was acting like a jerk with Josh. :( I'd forgotten about that, actually. Still, there's also behind-the-scenes stuff there as well.
Locking pages indeed is not without merit.

It's not vandalism if it's their own page. Some people don't want certain things wrote about themselves. I will say that sometimes they're not always right in deciding such things(ie. when nothing bad or defamatory is wrote about them), but it's at least something other than simple vandalism.

That may be true but you aren't doing a good job of showing it. Take for instance how you followed up your comment about not crying with a spiteful remark. Or how you said you'd stop replying a page back, but kept replying anyway.

Which is a fairly large amount of the time, don't get me wrong. But really, there's no drama here. Considering the circumstances I'd say everyone's being rather civil.
Now, as to why tnuk lost his sysop status... Teral offers as evidence his indiscriminate banning of JoshTheatre. I don't recall seeing a reprimand from any of you when this happened. In fact, I don't recall there being a response of any kind to this. In terms of how wikis work that's approval by proxy. I could have said something, certainly. So could have anyone else. But it was the sysops' responsibility, and every single one of them ignored it. Tnuk may have made a maldecision, but it sure was polite how everyone, especially those who's jobs it was, stood up against what they perceived as injustice. If none of you saw what was wrong with it then, don't use it as evidence for now.
To get straight the actual point, this lukewarm thing that can barely be called a debate was started not by controversy over tnuk's demotion, but by the recent edits of hjs and BirthdayClown. Hjs was deliberately doing exactly what -mArc- said BC had been banned for doing. She was also uploading a different version of the same picture over and over and over again. This is not only a waste of bandwidth, but also of the wiki's disk space (every version of the file is saved.) She was acting out of pure spite and the intention to be both insensitive, rude, and hateful. That is why hjs should be banned. Now, as for BC, he was just being quite annoying over there, and basically taking offensive at every attempt to help him out. Locking the page was the best option for all, I agree, before things got too heated.
Finally, there's the issue of blanking pages. What is permissible, what is vandalism? Now, it's been suggested in various places of which I have no particular interest to go and find that the most that should be removed from any page is its content. That is, everything except the infobox, with the avatar picture and so on. However, there are arguments against this. We need to standardise. I personally think that the infobox should remain, however, there may be some who take exception to this. In any case, a page that has been blanked by request should have the template {{blankbyrequest (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/Template:Blankbyrequest)}} at the very top of it. Never mind what it looks like for now, it can be changed at some point in the future.
Incorporate this into your deliberations. I'm going to go be a man now. Buy some tires. Maybe spit or something.
-
Xanfor, I do have some thought on what should be done on blank pages. I believe I was the first person to ask to be removed from the wiki, and blanked my page.
The measures that were taken by the mods was that my page was locked, but I was still showing categories as well as who I drank. I think this (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php?title=Slackit02&oldid=9328) is the correct link.
Since that was done by done by Gopher and Tnuk, I would assume that could be seen as the standard for blank pages.
-
i hate internet sub-cliques. remember when everyone was on the same page, and fighting was kept mostly private between select PEELenemies? futurefreak remembers. remember when there was no wiki, and no discussion of people's personal lives that they didn't want being discussed? futurefreak remembers. remember when dogs were actually cats, and women couldn't vote? futurefreak doesn't remember...
-
On second thought, I like Amy's idea better. It looks clean and requires intelligence to understand.
TOTPB!
(http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/6/6c/Bouncywikilogo.gif)
-
I think it's cool that you made a template. Most of the pages that get blanked get their content brought back sometime later; it's usually a case of someone going through their own little thing for awhile and they just needed to let off steam.
-
Xanfor and Winna,
I think what was done to my page works out because you don't lose all the links that may be time consuming to add back if the person ever changes their mind, and they are still in the emperor chain.
-
I respect that, it makes sense.
-
The unedited version is never lost; just go back in the history log to find it if you ever choose to revert it. I think a combination of the two ideas make the most sense: leave it as bare as Amy's is, but still use the template. The template would detract people from trying to edit it "up to Wiki par".
-
I was going to say what i_c_weiner said.... plus with Xanfor's template, you don't have to lock the page unless it gets out of hand. People know not to mess with it while the template is there, but it allows the individual whose page it is to edit it again when/if they change their mind.
-
I kinda never voiced my thoughts on wikipeelia as it's not mine and I did not want to create work for Spiff. But as he might be passing it on, here goes.
I'm planning on putting a prominent button for wikipeelia on PEEL 2.0 and give it a tag and subdomain redirect, but only if wikipeelia does not deviate too much from PEEL's ideals and rules (let's call it PEELgeist as it's not a fixed set of rules).
I think we need a few features and near consensus on a few things. My suggestions would be:
Rules I'd like to see:- Everyone should able to say "This does not go on the page about me because I don't want it to be there". It should overrule what Superusers/wikimods think should go on someones page and extend to the right to have references to oneself removed from other pages of the wiki.
- Every Superuser/wikimod should be able to say "this does not go on your page because it is not in line with the wiki rules/peelgeist."
- Everyone should be able to have the page about themselves be locked until they decide otherwise.
Features: I'm not media-wiki experienced, so maybe these features already exist, are close to impossible to implement, or already are in place.- If a page is locked, the previous versions should not be accessible but for the superusers.
- I'd really like to see something like "page owners", which would be the person who creates a page and for personal pages, the person described on the page (if they have a wiki account). The owner of a page should be able to say "this user will not be able to change my page anymore".
One thing I'm unsure how to handle: I don't like how problems in one of PEEL/wikipeelia spill over to the other. Especially with someone being banned on one and then having extra incentive to be troublesome on the other. I'm not willing to import ban decisions from the wiki. The wiki owner might not be willing to import banning decisions from here. So, not sure what to do. For now I'll say: "If you were banned on the wiki and start taking discussion about it to PEEL, you might get banned on PEEL."
In line with rule 1 I suggested, I'd request that the peelsex logo be removed from the page about me and have my name removed from the list of peelsex people.
PS: I also agree that TNUK needs to calm down a bit :P
PPS: Again, just suggestions. Discuss.
-
^Excellent ideas and advice. I wholeheartedly agree. It's depressing that some people's pages go blank because of the animosity that goes on between a few users.

Funny post. Ralph is old enough to remember when men were men, women were women and...
What was my point?
None, just a try for levity.
----------
Edit: I just read -mArc-'s post and agree with most of what he said. The person should have the last say of what goes on the page. The problem is, what about the users who place inappropriate or spiteful things on other's pages just to be spiteful? Maybe TNUK is taking it too seriously - he can direct his time and energy to other things but for some people to say he hasn't done some good towards WIKI's time consuming things is incorrect.
If the current and future administrator is going to allow the BC and HJS of the world to indiscriminately place spiteful things on pages, then I'll ask/demand that my page be locked and blanked now. They both should have lifetime bans for some of the shit they've done. Maybe TNUK was a little overjealous but I feel he did a pretty good job patrolling the Wiki.
Granted I know Xanfor is another major force there and he's not a controversial figure like TNUK, I'm going to say that I appreciate all the efforts that Xanfor has expended to be a class act and be fair and unbiased.
The "Peel-Sex" logo needs to be dumped. NOW. I'm not giving anybody a hard time but it's obvious that it's one of the things that seems to be tearing the community apart. While it may be good for a laugh or two, such things can have horrible consequences for others.
Example: If I were to somehow make the trip to a PEELathon and one of the female members and I had a beer together, then somebody else decides to place that logo on my page, you can be damned sure that Kelly would be asking a LOT of questions. It was conceived to be a joke but it has backfired. It's time for the inventors of said logo to admit that it's not a good idea, remove it from every page and retire it.
The discussion is on TNUK and not on the real problem of the Wiki - the vandals. Why isn't the administrator or sysops banning the trash who are causing most problems? HJS and Birthday Assclown do nothing but create acrimony - their objectives. To allow them continued access to edit other pages means that the admins and sysops are no better than them. If that is the case and the attitude is "It's just the internet", then I want nothing else to do with WikiPeelia. If this pisses anybody off, bite my white, hairy ass, take my page down immediately and lock it.
Rob, for what it's worth, I support you and back you, but maybe it's time for you to put your efforts behind something else. Something less stressful, like defusing land mines in Bosnia.
That's my opinion, your milage may vary.
-
I agree with Marc's rules. I also agree that something should be done about trolling, no matter who does it.
Sysops and Admins shouldn't get involved in a flame fight and especially, they shouldn't start any. Their job is to make sure the wiki stays clean.
I hereby also propose, that every admin and sysop uses the account with his normal nick to actually edit content and use a second account (like Gopher_Admin or something, I don't know) to enforce the rules but stay away from any content unless specifically asked by the person the site belongs to to do something about it.
That way, we won't see any power abuse and people will stop bitching, hopefully.
-
I thought double accounts weren't allowed :confused:
-
I allow double accounts as a double standard for admins and sysops. :p
-
Oooh, I like the irony in that!
-
Yeah, cloning is only for the people who can afford it.
-
Just an fyi, I removed the peelsex logo from everyone's page except the one person who added it themselves. If anyone wants it back, they can feel free to add it.
-
Request to superusers/sysops: C'n you block me from making edits for 6 months just to remove temptation? Yeah, I do need to calm down and do something less stressful. So I'll take a break, and the block will serve to re-inforce my less-than-phenomenal willpower.
Thanks Ralph, thanks mArc, and thanks Xanfor. I love you guys. Sorta. In a totally non-scary way.
I like the idea of "blank by request" - I feel that I should apologise for even creating the dam PEELsex logo, and I would like to request that if anybody else sees me doing anything even half as dumb in the future, they should call me on it. I can't always tell the difference between a good idea and a bad one.
-total "taking a break now" nerduk-
-
K, I'm sick of this. Rob made the peelsex logo and had it on a separate page, where it implied nothing. I'm the one who put it on everybody's page, so stop getting upset at him for it.
So that makes me the evil one or something. Anyways, like I said, I removed it from every page except the original pages it was on (Peel Singles Bar (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/PEEL_Singles_Bar) and Peelationships (http://www.splitmonkeys.de/wiki/index.php/PEELationships)) and I didn't remove it from a page where a peeler added it him/her self.
-
That's like saying Oppenheimer wasn't responsible for Hiroshima because he just lead the team that perfected the bomb.
I can admit when I've done something wrong/stupid. You don't have to jump in front of the bullet for me.
-
A sex bullet...just like they sell at the various adult novelty stores I certainly don't shop at.
-
Ok, I'm tired of this. Let's keep discussing it.
-
I have to kind of agree with Amy. That PEEL relationship logo wasn't made for cheap laughs.... It wasn't created for the purpose of making fun of someone at their expense. As I said when this first occurred, not everyone may like the idea, but at the same time there was nothing inherantly wrong with it in the first place. It was a simple thing to denote that PEELers had had relationships with other PEELers... In a way, it's kind of cute. On top of that, it was rather anonymous, unless someone decided to talk about it.
-
Goddamnit, I had a really childish remark to make but now it makes no sense :(
-
You can always use the quote tags...
-
Nah, it wasn't that type of remark.
-
so it stands for PEELationships or PEELsex? i did not know that...where's the one for my page :mad: hehee kidding...
i think if we take the wiki for what it is, a humorous collection of information unbeknowst to other members, then there shouldn't be a problem.
-
There shouldn't be but there will. People make it their business to cause problems. (cough) Birthdayclown

I thought you were talking about keffothemonkey :confused:

i hate monkeys.

Keffo is winna, right? 'Cause I'm fairly sure that keffo has been responsible for major vandalism in the not too distant past.

Yeah, keffo is winna.

Everyone's winna.

Keffo really IS winna, though, dammit.

As I recall, they had conspired to pretend to be brother and sister at a PEELathon and start smooching on each other to make everyone else uncomfortable. That would have been awesome.

Was she really committing vandalism... Or was it more of.... making pages interesting?

The daily hate-mail.
Actually don't knock it too much, stuff that's in the Mail today is usually true in about 3 to 5 years. The thing about immigrants eating swans was laughed at until it actually happened. They just happened to be wrong about the nazis...
There's a great quote in Private Eye about the mamil this week. Taken from something Richard Littlejohn wrong in the Mail itself:
"And if you need to be reminded of the awfulness of modern Britain as you relax in a sun-drenched foreign resort, there's always the daily Mail, printed around the globe, available from your friendly beach-side newsagent and online."
The Irony of it... oh lord did I laugh when I read that one.

Are they really Mormon? Interesting
-
It's funny, members of the Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter-Day Saints are called "Mormons" after the angel which appeared to Joseph Smith.
But the angel's name was "Moroni", not "Mormoni"...
-
Originally posted by Upsilon:

I don't see why that should surprise you. We're a varied bunch, and there are members from different backgrounds here, and a lot of us have differing religious beliefs. I think what I like best is that most people here are very accomodating to the differences of their fellow PEELers and for the most part we respect eachother equally.
-
Doesn't mean it's not interesting.

that is just plain tap water, right?

I also want to point out that it was MY idea to pretend to be brother and sister and then make out a peelathon.
This idea made Molly and everybody else very uncomfortable, and they wouldn't let me go through with it. I thought it would have been hilarious, but I guess I can understand everybody else's objections.
Also: not to get churchy or anything, but a quick response to all mormon related posts: yes I am mormon, no I didn't meet Molly at a singles mixer, and Moroni and Mormon are two different guys.

Oh, I know that, I was citing a common misconception. Thanks for finally saying something though, it would have been embarrassing something fierce to have to admit on my own that I stated a falsehood. Even if it was for the marginally humorous impact.

Still, it was the best potential PEELathon prank ever.
