[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 http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/User:Doh5678/Newsletter_draft [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? [20:25] Doh5678 Yeah OK [20:25] AleWi ok [20:26] FatHomer sure [20:26] Phinbart Competition [20:26] Solar_Dragon Competition - 11 days remaining to enter [20:26] Solar_Dragon Anyone else going to enter?

[20:26] Solar_Dragon No, the editing competition [20:26] Solar_Dragon Although that could come in also [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] Doh5678 Should we have another one next year? [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] Nick97 I'd like to know. [20:29] Solar_Dragon 3rd is Doh5678 [20:29] FatHomer How much does jake get of the advertisments [20:29] Solar_Dragon 2nd is Mythigator [20:29] FatHomer ?

[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... [20:39] -->| Mythigator (322fb26a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.50.47.178.106) has joined #wikisimpsons [20:39] AleWi Hi Mythigator [20:39] Phinbart Hi, Mythigator! [20:39] FatHomer Hi!

[20:39] Solar_Dragon I just love the barrage of "hi"s someone receives when they join [20:39] Cook879 [20:40] AleWi I am quick to write on computers. [20:40] Mythigator Saturdays have been bad for the last few weeks [20:40] Doh5678 It's a pain to get to the wikisimpsons namespace [20:40] Phinbart 9 people on Wikisimpsons IRC (not including ChanServ) [20:40] Solar_Dragon Wikisimpsons:Whatever [20:40] Solar_Dragon Not that hard [20:40] Solar_Dragon Also have Category:Wikisimpsons [20:40] FatHomer wikisimpsons namespace?
