[20:11]	-->|	Cook879 (cook879@cpc1-slou2-2-0-cust202.haye.cable.virginmedia.com) has joined #wikisimpsons
[20:11]	Solar_Dragon	Hi Cook879
[20:12]	Cook879	hello
[20:12]	AleWi	End of September
[20:12]	FatHomer	Hi!
[20:12]	Solar_Dragon	[20:11] Solar_Dragon So, estimates for 10,000 articles?
[20:12]	Phinbart	Hi Cook879.
[20:12]	Doh5678	About DEcember
[20:12]	FatHomer	In about 23 days
[20:12]	Solar_Dragon	I'm guessing Octoberish if we keep on at this rate
[20:12]	Cook879	End of October required 13 pages a day
[20:12]	Phinbart	23 days?!
[20:13]	AleWi	Maybe October
[20:13]	FatHomer	well, we have gotten many pages the last few days
[20:13]	Solar_Dragon	We're gaining at least 20 articles per day right now I think. These are usually pretty good quality articles too
[20:13]	Doh5678	Better than Wikia anyways
[20:13]	AleWi	I have add 10 today
[20:13]	FatHomer	hm, maybe longer than 23 days then
[20:14]	Solar_Dragon	23 days would be about 460 more articles with 20 a day
[20:14]	Solar_Dragon	Bearing in mind with the school timetables, there'll be less activity
[20:14]	FatHomer	Wikia hav 6.908 articles now
[20:14]	Solar_Dragon	I reduced that
[20:14]	Solar_Dragon	Redirected a few pages to other pages
[20:15]	Cook879	true - college means i'll have less free time then at school anyway
[20:15]	Doh5678	About 50 days if 20 articles a day
[20:15]	AleWi	In june we got 8000
[20:15]	Phinbart	When I come home on a Monday from school, if a new ep of the Simpsons aired on the Sunday, I watch it on my laptop.
[20:16]	Solar_Dragon	I'll try and do that. Depends on my timetable though
[20:16]	Solar_Dragon	I might get home earlier, or later, than normal time
[20:16]	Phinbart	So, I would say we get 10, 000 in early November.
[20:16]	AleWi	Many new episode have already an article.
[20:16]	FatHomer	I don't know if this a important topic, should we go on
[20:16]	Solar_Dragon	Might as well
[20:16]	Doh5678	When season 23 starts we'll get a massive boost
[20:16]	Phinbart	Newsletter
[20:16]	FatHomer	yepp
[20:17]	Phinbart	All there is to do is the IRC section and the Other wikis section.
[20:17]	Phinbart	I'm supposed to do the other wikis section, but I don't know what to put in it!
[20:17]	Solar_Dragon	And the condensed version for the main page? How is that going?
[20:17]	Doh5678	Everyone happy about it going on the Main Page
[20:18]	FatHomer	what?
[20:18]	Solar_Dragon	Just put a bit of info about our other wikis
[20:18]	Phinbart	Yep, then condensed version with the links.
[20:18]	Cook879	Just some info about the other wikis i;d guess

[20:18]	Doh5678	Finished
[20:18]	Solar_Dragon	Cool
[20:18]	FatHomer	it looks good
[20:19]	Doh5678	Could we have an image like on Mario Wiki?
[20:19]	Solar_Dragon	Of what? We already have The Springfield Shopper and Kent Brockman images on the main page
[20:19]	Cook879	make a logo maybe
[20:20]	Solar_Dragon	We need an official name for the newsletter first
[20:20]	Doh5678	Any ideas?
[20:20]	AleWi	WikiSimpsons News
[20:20]	Solar_Dragon	Too obvious
[20:21]	FatHomer	yeah but why have something else
[20:21]	Doh5678	Springfiel Shopper's taken
[20:21]	Solar_Dragon	Channel 6 News
[20:22]	Doh5678	The Springfield Inquisitor?
[20:22]	FatHomer	i think it is good with a obvious name
[20:22]	Solar_Dragon	Hold a vote on the wiki for everyone to see then
[20:23]	FatHomer	me?
[20:23]	Doh5678	The vote will be inconclusive
[20:23]	Solar_Dragon	Someone. And why?
[20:23]	Cook879	true, voting hasn't been very conclusive recently
[20:24]	Solar_Dragon	Hence Votes and more voting needed. being on teh list of things to discuss
[20:25]	Solar_Dragon	Should we move on then?

[20:26]	Solar_Dragon	We still need more votes for that
[20:27]	Cook879	who knows, if i think i have a shot i may... but i doubt it.
[20:27]	Cook879	most of my edits have been small
[20:28]	FatHomer	why is this a topic?
[20:28]	Solar_Dragon	I'm willing to tell you the standings since the last time I changed them
[20:28]	Solar_Dragon	Anyone want to know who's first, second and third?
[20:28]	Solar_Dragon	Becuase I want more people to edit

[20:28]	Cook879	Alewi's in there some where, Mythigator as well
[20:28]	Phinbart	I'm last I think.
[20:28]	Solar_Dragon	And because postage to America has got to be expensive
[20:29]	AleWi	Five people are in the competition
[20:29]	Solar_Dragon	Doh5678, it depends on whether I have the money
[20:29]	Doh5678	i want to know

[20:29]	FatHomer	How much does jake get of the advertisments

[20:30]	Cook879	AleWi>
[20:30]	Cook879	*?
[20:30]	Solar_Dragon	Yep
[20:30]	AleWi	There are many that are not checked yet
[20:30]	Solar_Dragon	There are large gaps between first second and third of over 100 points though
[20:31]	Solar_Dragon	AleWi just proved that quantity is better than quality
[20:31]	Nick97	As long as your quantity is through the roof.
[20:32]	Solar_Dragon	Which it was. I hated going through so many edits
[20:32]	AleWi	I'll write maybe not the best quality
[20:32]	Phinbart	Next topic?
[20:32]	FatHomer	Vote for head of Wikisimpsons.
[20:32]	Solar_Dragon	Yes, has everyone here voted?
[20:33]	FatHomer	i have
[20:33]	AleWi	no
[20:33]	Solar_Dragon	And remember, whatever way the decision goes, I won't bear any grudges for the way you voted or anything
[20:33]	Cook879	make sure you read the discussion - important info
[20:33]	Solar_Dragon	AleWi: http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Forum:Vote_to_make_Solar_Dragon_official_head_of_Wikisimpsons
[20:34]	FatHomer	just a question, if you become the head, do you get to decide like what the newsletter name will be and stuff like that?
[20:34]	Cook879	That's community vote stuff
[20:35]	Solar_Dragon	I would ask the community. It is only if the decision isn't made that I'll make the decisions
[20:35]	Phinbart	Me and Doh5678 are the writers of the newsletter.
[20:35]	FatHomer	what does head do then?
[20:35]	Solar_Dragon	If discussion and voting is inconclusive, I will make the decision
[20:35]	FatHomer	ok
[20:35]	Doh5678	Editors
[20:35]	Solar_Dragon	I might have a couple of new toys too
[20:35]	Doh5678	Phinbart
[20:35]	Phinbart	Yes?
[20:35]	FatHomer	toys?
[20:36]	Solar_Dragon	Tools
[20:36]	Doh5678	We're the Editors
[20:36]	Phinbart	Oh!
[20:36]	Phinbart	Next topic?
[20:36]	Phinbart	Easier access to the Project namespace.
[20:36]	Solar_Dragon	What Jake said: "Just to comment on this, there are a few unused administrative powers that we could entrust to the 'Head of Wikisimpsons' along with a new rank. The ability to hide content (revisions, files, usernames, logs, etc...) from public view comes to mind, as it is often restricted to only the highest ranking staff members on wikis. In my opinion, it is important to have at least...
[20:36]	Solar_Dragon	...one staff member that can do this in the event of copyright infringement, inappropriate material, or illicit activity"
[20:36]	FatHomer	what is it that people shouldn't read?
[20:36]	Solar_Dragon	No one seems bothered about projects any more and the major project we all need to focus on is Comics
[20:37]	FatHomer	yes
[20:37]	Solar_Dragon	Comics are easily our worse section of the wiki
[20:37]	Doh5678	Project as in Wikisimpsons namespace
[20:37]	FatHomer	and re-watch later
[20:37]	Phinbart	We could continue Project Episodes, Characters and Locations when a new season starts, then discontinue them in the summer, and re-start them in a new season.
[20:38]	AleWi	I do not care about project
[20:38]	FatHomer	why?
[20:38]	Doh5678	The project namespace as in the Wikisimpsons namespace
[20:38]	AleWi	I change what I think myself is important
[20:38]	Cook879	TBH, i do ignore projects as well - i decide what i want to work on and do that
[20:38]	Solar_Dragon	What about the Wikisimpsons namespace then Doh5678?
[20:38]	Cook879	Though we do need organisation its not for everyone
[20:39]	Solar_Dragon	I work on a bit of everything too, except comics...
