[20:08] Phinbart Let's get back to Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance
[20:08] Clg *first
[20:09] Solar_Dragon We need people to go out and persuade Wikia wikis to move
[20:09] Solar_Dragon Not an easy task
[20:10] Clg What wikis are we aiming at?
[20:10] Solar_Dragon Family Guy, South Park, American Dad
[20:10] Phinbart Bob's Burgers!
[20:10] Solar_Dragon Everything here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms
[20:10] Solar_Dragon Bob's Burgers isn't ready yet
[20:10] Cook879 May be easier to start with smaller shows from the list with smaller communities.
[20:11] Phinbart Although, they don't have a wiki for Bob's Burgers on Wikia.
[20:11] Phinbart Hmmm.... they do! http://bobsburgers.wikia.com/wiki/Bob%27s_Burgers_Wiki
[20:11] Solar_Dragon Our Wikkii wiki is better though
[20:11] AleWi Is there anyone who has not?
[20:11] Mick_McCarthy indeed
[20:11] Solar_Dragon And is an affiliate: http://aswanetwork.net/affiliates.html
[20:12] Cook879 Phinbart - Fish Hooks is in the category

[20:14] Solar_Dragon Phinbart ^
[20:14] Clg So bob's burger's is a wiki to be
[20:15] Phinbart Erm....Registered users....Three?
[20:15] Phinbart Not a popular wiki.
[20:15] Mick_McCarthy tea
[20:15] AleWi We also have not so many users.
[20:15] |<-- Mick_McCarthy has left irc.shoutwiki.com (Quit: CGI:IRC (EOF))
[20:15] Solar_Dragon I changed it to 5 active users needed to be part of the alliance
[20:15] Phinbart Techinally, the other two vandalized the wiki a bit, so...just me!
[20:15] Solar_Dragon Ah, right...

[20:16] Phinbart Just three registered-non-vandalizing users!
[20:17] Cook879 i would say i'll go register and do something to make 4 but i can't
[20:17] Solar_Dragon It has to be active though
[20:17] Solar_Dragon We might we able to help out, make it more active
[20:17] Solar_Dragon Even if it is minor edits
[20:17] Phinbart It is active, but not right NOW.
[20:17] Solar_Dragon Well, yeah
[20:17] Phinbart ShoutWiki's down!
[20:17] Solar_Dragon Read this page: http://aswanetwork.net/requirements.html
[20:18] AleWi I have not followed the series and since it goes at Disney, it is probably not my type of series.
[20:18] Solar_Dragon Same here. I don't like Bob's Burgers either and I am co-founder of that though
[20:18] Solar_Dragon the wiki I mean
[20:18] Cook879 Solar_Dragon: Should we use the cite web template or should i remove it?
[20:19] Solar_Dragon I never bother with it
[20:19] Solar_Dragon I don't know
[20:19] Phinbart Yeah...I joined Bob's Burgers Wiki before I even watched the series!
[20:19] Clg Does it link to anywhere?
[20:19] Cook879 <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fox.com/programming/shows/?sh=the-simpsons |title=The Simpsons Season 23|author= |date=Unknown |publisher=Fox.com}}</ref>

[20:20] Simpsons88 hi
[20:20] Cook879 hi
[20:20] AleWi Hi Simpsons88
[20:20] Simpsons88 hey
[20:21] Clg Anyone want to discuss any more about the ASWA?
[20:22] Solar_Dragon Nope
[20:22] Phinbart Silver + Bronze Homer Award.
[20:22] Solar_Dragon Yeah, who added that?
[20:23] Clg Me
[20:23] Solar_Dragon What about them then?
[20:23] Clg Has everyone voted?
[20:23] Cook879 for once i did
[20:24] AleWi Do it tomorrow
[20:24] Solar_Dragon It ends tomorrow though
[20:24] Solar_Dragon I'll update it as soon as I wake up
[20:24] Phinbart Next topic?
[20:24] Phinbart Getting more users.
[20:25] Solar_Dragon Our views have gone up a lot
[20:25] Solar_Dragon 412 a couple of days ago
[20:25] Clg We need more people to edit though
[20:25] -->| Mick_McCarthy (~cgiirc@cpc1-midd9-0-0-cust514.11-1.cable.virginmedia.com) has joined #wikisimpsons
[20:25] Cook879 just look, they ranged from 330-410 this week
[20:26] Phinbart That's a LOT!
[20:26] Solar_Dragon Best way to do that is to keep making articles, attracting people to us
[20:26] AleWi We have received almost 1,000 more articles in a month
[20:26] Solar_Dragon Exactly
[20:26] Clg But Wikia probably bribe google
[20:27] Phinbart That's 250 articles a week!
[20:27] Solar_Dragon And each one of those articles will be inviting people who are searching for them to us, instead of Wikia
[20:27] Phinbart Meaning 35 articles a day!
[20:27] Solar_Dragon Really?!
[20:28] Phinbart Or 36.
[20:28] Phinbart Calculator had a decimal, so.
[20:28] Clg Last month we got 500 articles
[20:28] Solar_Dragon We could keep asking Wikia's editors to move
[20:29] Clg Will they though?
[20:29] Solar_Dragon Dunno
[20:29] Solar_Dragon We could keep asking, that's all I know
[20:29] Solar_Dragon It's worked for a couple of users
[20:29] AleWi 18 June we have 8000
[20:30] Phinbart Ah! Can't see my comments again!
[20:30] Phinbart ooh...can now!
[20:30] Solar_Dragon I can see them
[20:30] Phinbart Next topic?
[20:30] Phinbart New Swedish wiki
[20:30] Solar_Dragon It's growing quickly
[20:31] Cook879 How's that going? Haven't checked it out recently.
[20:31] Cook879 Cool
[20:31] Solar_Dragon AleWi, do you know of any Swedish fan sites?
[20:31] Cook879 How about Chinese?
[20:31] AleWi No new users
[20:31] Solar_Dragon We could ask them about affiliating with the wiki
[20:31] AleWi Most Fathomer and me.
[20:31] Solar_Dragon Chinese wiki hasn't set off yet
[20:31] AleWi chinese works
[20:31] AleWi http://zh.simpsonswiki.net/index.php?title=%E9%A6%96%E9%A1%B5
[20:32] Phinbart We have a Chinese Wiki!
[20:32] Solar_Dragon Yes
[20:33] Mick_McCarthy hy
[20:33] Mick_McCarthy *why
[20:34] Clg Smiley suggested it
[20:34] Solar_Dragon He knows some Chinese
[20:34] Cook879 For new language wikis we could try foreign wikipedias. If some users edit a lot of Simpsons they may want to make a whole wiki about it
[20:34] Phinbart Zuh?
[20:34] Cook879 Zh
[20:34] AleWi I can not Chinese. Language Links and stuff can be easily fix by evreyone
[20:35] AleWi In China, is The Simpsons banned on public-TV.
[20:35] Solar_Dragon Don't know
[20:35] AleWi zh=simple chinese
[20:37] Clg So next topic
[20:37] Phinbart What to fill the space on the main page where the poll was
[20:38] Solar_Dragon Any ideas?
[20:38] Clg Think everyone, think
[20:38] AleWi In China, the Simpsons banned.
[20:38] AleWi Do you know-ask?
[20:38] Solar_Dragon No, why?
[20:38] Phinbart Schedule feed?
[20:38] Solar_Dragon Is it promoting Satanism or something?
[20:40] AleWi In Swedish Wiki we have a TV schedule. Maybe one for Fox, Sky and Network1?
[20:40] Phinbart Network1?
[20:40] Clg somert to do with America
[20:40] AleWi Think it's the TV channel in Australia.
[20:40] Phinbart We could do a schedule for countries that speak English.
[20:41] Solar_Dragon I don't feel too good, can't concentrate properly
[20:41] Cook879 Fox is hard as they have many regional stations which i think broadcast many of their own schedules
[20:41] Phinbart USA, UK, Canada.
[20:41] Solar_Dragon I'm still here, just not fully taking part in the convo
[20:41] Phinbart Any other ideas?
[20:41] Clg Australia as well
[20:41] Solar_Dragon TV schedule for English speakong countries would be too hard to keep up to date
[20:42] Phinbart Well, we are English.
[20:43] Clg there are US and Aussie users as well
[20:43] AleWi It can be difficult to update, but it can go.
[20:44] Phinbart Maybe it can have a trial for a bit, like my idea for the newsletter.
[20:44] Clg http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/User:Smiley12/Holiday_Wikisimpsons_Themes/Easter
[20:44] Phinbart Thought of something!
[20:44] Phinbart Wiki updates!
[20:44] Clg A featured cleanup section
[20:44] Solar_Dragon How about the urm... what's it called?
[20:44] Solar_Dragon Yes Clg
[20:44] Solar_Dragon That's it
[20:44] Solar_Dragon bring that back, although not as many tasks
[20:45] Phinbart The featured cleanup section was on the wiki when I joined as an unregistered user.
[20:45] Clg Will encourage more activity
[20:45] Cook879 Problem with Fox is they have local programming so we may have to do one for all the stations
[20:45] AleWi You can see at http://www.imdb.com/tvgrid/2011-07-30/2000/
[20:45] Cook879 of which there are 27 apparently
[20:45] Clg So a vote then?
[20:46] Mick_McCarthy featured cleanup
[20:46] Phinbart Phinbart's mouth drops.
[20:46] AleWi if programs are broadcast throughout the United States.
[20:46] Phinbart 27 Fox stations!
[20:46] Solar_Dragon Featured cleanup I think
[20:46] Phinbart What about wiki updates?
[20:47] Solar_Dragon We have too many a day
[20:47] Phinbart Ok. Featured cleanup!
[20:47] Clg all in favour of Featured Cleanup say I
[20:47] Solar_Dragon i
[20:47] Phinbart I
[20:47] Phinbart all in favour of something else say I
[20:47] Cook879 I
[20:47] AleWi okey
[20:47] Phinbart Never mind.
[20:47] Phinbart Four I's so far.
[20:48] Clg Mick Mcarthy said Featured cleanup
[20:48] Phinbart Maybe we could have a vote on the wiki.
[20:49] Solar_Dragon Yes
[20:49] Clg Yeah that's better
[20:50] Mick_McCarthy I

[20:52] Phinbart More language wikis.
[20:52] Solar_Dragon Anyone speak any other languages/
[20:52] Solar_Dragon ?
[20:52] Clg French, German
[20:53] Solar_Dragon How good are you with them?
[20:53] Cook879 Earlier on: <Cook879>: For new language wikis we could try foreign wikipedias. If some users edit a lot of Simpsons they may want to make a whole wiki about it
[20:53] Clg French Quite good. German OK to very bad

[20:54] Solar_Dragon Cool

[20:55] Clg Pity he's not here
[20:55] Phinbart Why doesn't Jake join our IRC meetings?
[20:55] Cook879 when does he get back?
[20:55] AleWi I have noticed that the language versions and Fanon has no advertising, should they do not have it?
[20:55] Solar_Dragon Don't know
[20:55] Solar_Dragon I never noticed
[20:56] Solar_Dragon AdBlock plus
[20:56] Phinbart Jake was back YESTE
[20:56] Phinbart RDAY
[20:56] Phinbart Jake was back yesterday.
[20:57] Phinbart I dropped a note on how the article number of statistics on Simpsons Fanon doesn't match the actual number of articles.

[21:06] Clg Is that a bug?
