How to Contribute
Human, you're in authority and we have an understanding [sic]. Can I ask what exactly I am supposed to do on this wiki? I am a little confused.Bohdan 14:55, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, I don't know about "authority", I view sysopism as more of a responsibility? But I will try to answer your question with a bullet list:


 * 1) Have fun. Please.  Some of us take that out by blocking each other for one second.  OK, that's childish.  We also call each other names and stuff.  But if your idea of fun is something else, please exercise it.
 * 2) See #1
 * 3) Write articles and essays. I bet you have some ideas that actually fit in with the "creed" of this site (roughly, debunking irrationality), so feel free to write about them.  Mainspace pieces are to be community edited; essays are essentially "yours" to work on, others are free to use the talk page to comment.
 * 4) Have fun. Eat pizza.  Make silly userboxes.  Make serious userboxes.
 * 5) Help people out with things they are working on, as on any wiki. Check recent changes, if a subject interests, go see if you can make it better.
 * 6) Have fun. As an old column in F&S used to be called, "Exit Laughing".
 * 7) Vandalize GodlessLiberal's talk page for me.
 * 8) Have fun. Our goals and purposes are serious; but if we weren't having fun, Jack would be a very dull boy indeed.

I hope this helps?

PS One way to "have fun" is to do whatever you feel constrained not to do on CP. Not that this site is the "anti-CP", but it's a way to think about this liberation. human be in 15:03, 24 May 2007 (CDT)

How do I archive?
It just got a whole lot easier, thanks to Stevo. Just put this at the top of your talk page: and it will make a box like the one at the top of my talk page, with a place to click to make the new archive. I think. human be in 20:55, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I've just corrected the template name in your comment. And yes, it will! -- Stevo (talk) 07:50, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

Block
We all WANT to, but shouldn't say it. Tmtoulouse 22:33, 20 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Every once in a while, I will do it for "many" of us. And I could afford the minute... which took forever to end!  Now, back to productive editing and learning from each other! Y reed a book wen we kan right won? human be in 22:36, 20 June 2007 (CDT)
 * What is interesting about this, not complaining actually, but it is fascinating, that Human and other sysops are allowed to block themselves, and he has done so many times for such comments, but they never approach the length I was blocked for, and he has lashed out more than a dozen times. Perhaps sysops should be given special breaks, and I tend to agree with that.  --TK/MyTalk|undefined 12:56, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Actually, I think this was my second "real" block. Of course there have been other times I thought someone might block me, but it did not happen.  As is the case for many - outrageous behaviour is often just ignored.  By the way, this block was done by someone else, the earlier one I did because the plaintiffs asked me to for cause and it was jsut as easy to get me to do it as another sysop. I believe your blocks also started in the minute range. human be in 13:10, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
 * What happened to "never again participate in community life?" olliegrind 13:04, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

I didn't realzie this page was one about community rules and procedures, Ollie. But if it is, just say I lied, like most of you do, daily, lol. --TK/MyTalk|undefined 13:08, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I read "community life" and "unjoin" as you wanted to be done with the entire RW site. My bad, dawg. olliegrind 13:12, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Perhaps email notification should be sent of the blocks. I propsed that many times on CP to no avail. I would hate to think people miss out on knowing they have them.  And perhaps a block for a sysop should be tripled, or quadrupled, since they are supposed to know better....:p
 * Anyway, except for Trent's deceitful 404 block, I never knew I had any of the others, some until days later, reading my page. No complaints, I fully agree some sort of punishment was called for, at least for the cursing.
 * Ollie, they only way I would quit, would be for my pages to be deleted. They refuse to do so, although they give no notification up-front that unlike other sites, you cannot delete your shit. ;-) --TK/MyTalk|undefined 13:18, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Re: retirement, I'm working on a compromise offer, should have it ready in an hour or two, have to run some "RL" errands... As far as blocks, what we do is leave a note on the user's talk page. Then when they return they will have a new message, although on a busy talk page it might not be obvious, I suppose.  C'est la vie :( human be in 13:26, 21 June 2007 (CDT)


 * If you want, I'm sure we could bury it under a mass of junk, spam, and scrawlings that it would be as good as deleted ... ;-) --ויִכִּ נתֶּ<font color="#aa0000">ר ֶפּ רֶ תֵּ ר  שְׁלֹום!

 * I ignored my "compromise" re: your graceful retirement, since 1. you showed no curiosity about it and 2. you are still active here, so apparently it's an irrelevant topic. But I'll remember it if you ever do bring it up again, in case you're interested. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 21:54, 21 June 2007 (CDT)


 * No, actually I was waiting for you to return in two hours, as you posted, so that is why I was "active" as you say. But since Ames is working on some arbitration deal, maybe you should check with AmesG. Not to be a cynic, 7 out 10 members polled told me anything you would come up with would neither be graceful or a compromise.  However I will keep your willingness in mind, should Ames efforts fall through. Thanks for your consideration, Human. --TK/MyTalk|undefined 01:35, 22 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Ah, ok. Well, it was pretty simple, maybe not exactly what you want, but simple.  I created a template called "retired", which is neutral in content, saying that the user wished to leave for private reasons.  Your user page would be blanked or archived, and your talk archived, and the template placed on both pages, and then they would be protected from editing.  Let me see if I can make a link to the template: template:retired.  Tell me what you think, if AmesG hasn't "made you a better offer". <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 11:10, 22 June 2007 (CDT)

Ref the template, I have placed it on my user pages, please would someone take a look and protect them? Cheers. לול 16:11, 22 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I've protected your user page, user talk page and talk page archive, Lulz. I hope you return at some point; I'll be happy to unprotect if you do, and I'm sure any other sysop will as well. --<font face="Monaco,Consolas,Courier New,Courier,Fixed">jtl talk 20:11, 22 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Tmtoulouse reverted the protect on the talk page, on the theory that they're community property. That seems reasonable to me, but we need to remember to make it clear only the user page will be locked. --<font face="Monaco,Consolas,Courier New,Courier,Fixed">jtl talk 21:31, 22 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I object and re will re-protect it and argue with Tmt on his talk page about it. The point is to leave a clean template and not a place for defacement.  As far as "community property", that's why it is archived.  Nothig is being deleted, so I see no problem, as long as the user truly "retires".  OK? <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 16:52, 23 June 2007 (CDT)

Protecting talk pages
I really am not so sure about protecting user talk pages, I understand the users actual page but the talk page is not there page and their presence or absence from RW should not affect it. Tmtoulouse 16:57, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I see it as eliminating a target for crap that would have to be dealt with - if they are retired, there is no need for any editing on their talk page. You know, like my wandalism of TK's talk page when he retired for the third or fourth time.  But I will, of course, bow to the judgement of the mob!  If they aren't protected and don't cause any problems, my argument is of course empty. Should I edit the template so if no sysop is spec'd, the "inquire" link goes away?  So it can actually be used on his page?  How do you feel about having an "inquiry" link on the retired template at all? <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 17:01, 23 June 2007 (CDT)

Your edit
I do not disapprove of this edit. I was trying to make a point, however. I do not think (and I hope I am right) that the brief explaination of ID was intended to classify an article fundementally on academic freedom into the category of pseudoscience. I have tried to address this for now by editing the category page, but hope some better alternative evolves. See my recent contributions to the IDAF talk page. Heart ♥  Gold tx 20:19, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I think if the article was "fundementally on academic freedom" that AF should have come before ID in the title. Do you think it should be renamed?  Then we can have Academic Freedom and Anti-Semitism, Academic Freedom and Multicultural Studies, etc., etc.  Oh, and Academic Freedom and Prayer in the USAF Academy. Right now, with ID first, ID becomes the focus.  And, in fact, all the AF issues in it are to do with ID - which is not a science - and issues that swirl around whether it is science or not. (PS, it's a religious doctrine) <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 20:26, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Why so defensive? The ID and AF article falls squarely into the category of pseudoscience.  If it was AF and anti-Semitism, it wouldn't.  If it was AF and Holistic Medicine, it would.  You can argue for your point of view, but on a wiki there will be others, as well.  And your point of view, in spite of disclaimers, seems to be 1) a sense of ownership of this article and its meaning, and 2) being defensive of ID's intrusions into academia as "science", where it does not belong. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 20:34, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Too many battles going on at the same time, and I am outnumbered. Heart  ♥  Gold tx 20:44, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I know, I think many who are here now felt the same way at CP. Except there, they ban for lack of ideological purity ;)  So you do have my sympathy, if not agreement. How about taking a breather and trying to put together something less, um, divisive?  Like another AF article?  Or a favorite recipe ;)  I like the idea of Academic Freedom and Anti-Semitism being explored - it's a bit off topic for the site, but the way the ideologies explode around it makes it interesting.  And we'll get to create an article about Alan Dershowitz! <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 21:07, 23 June 2007 (CDT)

Pseudoscience
Please review what I have done with the pseudoscience category and sub-categories and let me know what you think. Tmtoulouse 12:23, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

Category sorting & template
Thanks for that suggestion, over the last day or so I'd been looking to see if there was an easier way to do it than edit all the articles. There doesn't seem to be, so jtl's suggestion was pretty much there, and I thanked him for doing all the hard work there.

BTW, if you like, you can now also add the template to your archives; it'll look like this, well until someone makes it prettier.

--Stevo (talk) 13:16, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

Did you find this? If so, is this well known in the UK, dismissed? Heart ♥  Gold tx 20:10, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I hadn't gone there, no. I appreciate the link, but chasing coincidences isn't really my thing.  Maybe I'll watch it later, getting my Mike Malloy on right now.

Promotely power
Promote me too. I would like more power. Wait, maybe not. What is available? Heart ♥  Gold tx 08:46, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, usually, opening up the intake and exhaust tracts to make them freer-flowing will get you some more power, though usually at the cost of more noise. Of course, you can always slap a supercharger on, as well.  Or I could lend you my generator, good for about 5 kW in a pinch.  You could also appoint yourself the official director of something here at RW. I would make you a knight - not sure if I can, but I could try - but such titles are not recognized here in the colonies. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 14:44, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

 * You should have an extra tab at the top of each page marked "delete". Great for getting rid of mispelled article titles, useless redirects, etc.  In a number of places, depending on what you are looking at, you will see "block user" links.  I suggest you practice on some innocent RWers to get used to how it works.  The software is smart, if you enter "1 minute" it ends it on time.  You will also see irritating red exlamation points next to articles in recent changes or your watchlist - those mean that no sysop has yet "marked as patrolled" that edit.  We are a bit lazy about this, but it can be useful.  marking them as patrolled means a sysop has checked that they aren't vandalism.  Oh, yes, you'll also have a "protect" tab that we really don't use.  Now you know how CP sysops win all their arguments! <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 17:59, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

 * Eh, that's mostly myth and rumor, except for a few fanatics. We have editors who have integrated perfectly smoothly into our peanut butter/chocolate mix who never edited at CP.  In fact, in some ways less CP experience is better, as weaning some of ourselves off the CP obsession is slow going.

 * Somehow, turning it white made the actual text uglier...if you don't have any ideas, ill work on it.--PalMD-Goatspeed! 12:25, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Play with the backgournd color, too. Under "info-c" is the background color; "info-fc" is the font color (if you get rid of the font color tags I added).  Colors can either be the sixteen or so that can be named (white, red, blue, green, black, etc.) or in hex - six digits, which are three pair of 0-255 hex numbers, R, then G, then B: "FFFFFF" = white.  Fully saturated color, 255-255-255.  Black is 000000.  Bright red is FF0000.  Look around for color that look good to you and see what they used. But I'd try black text on white first.  Since it's a link, "info-fc" won;t work, of course, you have ot use the font color tags inside the link brackets to overrride the "blue" of the link.  Maybe blue link color on white will be good enough?  I'll try that for you. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 12:30, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

You also agreed with some of my changes
Regarding your change comment here, it looks like you agreed with some. I am curious, however, why you don't expect more out of human beings? Specifically, even birds build a nest before laying their eggs (well, most birds in my region). Also, who decides what is mythology, what is a demon, what is a mere god, and who (or if) God exists? Atheists? Heart ♥  Gold tx 10:02, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * 1. Probably, yes. Did I leave any unreverted? 2. What did I not expect of human beings?  Did imply something in the article's first draft, or at a meta-level? 3. Birds have instincts, like it or not, we don't. 4. Who decides?  Hmmm.  True believers?  I think we should all be raised free to decide for ourselves as adults.  This goes for any indoctrination, religious, atheistic, political, etc.


 * By the way, I purposely wrote the rough draft of child abuse so it was ideology-neutral - hence allowing anyone to see the examples, or at least most of them, from their own perspective. I should go add the atheistic thing to the religious indoctrination part, though, to make it clearer. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 14:09, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

 * I will send it your way, I think the major error there making is their equating the principle that "measurement" changes properties in such a way that "measurement"="consciousness" or "mind." They are trying to say something like a "mind" is needed in quantum physics and there a "mind" manipulates the brain. But my interpretation of the measurement effect is that it does not to have any "mind" property at all. The two-slit vs. one-slit experiments with photons are a "measurement" but the slits are not some how collapsing the wave with a "mind." They are trying to say that the collapse of the wave function and therefore manipulation of the quantum realm is somehow non-materialist........but that just sounds like crap to me. Anyway, I will send it too you. 15:12, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

<-Human, do you still contend that heavier (read: more massive) objects fall at the same rate? Do you also contend that a golf ball will fall toward Earth at the same rate as it would fall toward the moon, all other things being equal (specifically, the center to center distance. The mass of the moon and the mass of the Earth ard different, and the "falling" is measured from the Earth or moon frame of reference)? If not on this second point, you acknowledge that the acceleration an object receives at a given height depends on the mass of the object attracting it. Do you acknowledge that in a two object system, each object attracts the other? Just trying to figure out the cause of your error. I assume brain fart, but am not sure. 15:25, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, HG, you've almost changed the terms enough to make yourself correct. Here's the deal - the sun is accelerating towards the center of mass of the sun/earth system at 9.8 m/s^2 (as every object in free fall in the universe is, relative to their center of mass with the earth).  Of course, that cm is pretty much inside the sun, and the earth acclerates towards that cm at a much higher rate.  Keep in mind that a1 = Gm2/r^2, but you also have to specify the implicit frame of reference - the center of mass of the system.  This is why stable orbital periods (and hence the angular speed required to maintain them) only depend on the distance, not the masses involved.  Swapping out a pool ball for a neutron star, each at equal distances from the earth moves the frame of reference. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 16:07, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

 * Above you dragged the moon into the question. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 16:32, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * The sun does not acclerate toward the Earth at 9.8 m/s2. Check your r.  A cue ball with the mass of the sun, 3 meters above sea level, would accelerate toward the center of the Earth at about 9.8 m/s2 (and the Earth would accelerate toward the cue ball much more quickly).
 * Correct, I "forgot" r. But the sun accelerates towards the cm, not the earth.  It looks the same, but the cm is the frame of reference, not one of the objects. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 16:32, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Anyway, tell me what is wrong with this (the contribution that caused DA aka EM to wet his pants) 16:20, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * "Use the Earth, and a cue ball with the mass of the sun dropped from 10 feet" Undefined.  An object as massive as the sun, squeezed into that much space, would either instantly explode or be what we theorize of as a black hole.  If it exploded, there'd be no "earth" left to measure the acceleration of, and if it were a black hole, the earth would rapidly "fall" past the event horizon, likewise becoming unmeasureable. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 16:30, 14 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Okay, nice red herring. Clearly the context is about whether more massive objects fall toward earth more quickly or more slowly than lighter objects.  Physics problems make assumptions, and the assumptions I made are very common in physics problems.  If you want to deal with reality, that would be engineering.
 * Red herring? You made up the sun-mass pool ball, not me.  Why is your tone so rude here on this page? <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 16:49, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Going back to physics, though, using a cue ball with the mass of the sun was to illustrate. However, if you had a cue ball of .1 kg and 1.0 kg, it would still result in a difference of time before impact, if each ball, in sequence, is dropped, according to the scientific models of gravitation, with the more massive ball taking less time than the less massive ball.   16:40, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * And the ratio of the different times is... I suspect it might resolve to the difference between m1a and m1b divided by mE? Or, at least, the forces would be. Gawd, I wish $$math$$ worked so we could lay out the equations nicely. Or that we had a blackboard! I haven't even gone and read the B4B piece yet to see what you are "defending", by the way, and I suppose I should. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 16:49, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

By the way, HG, I don't mind being wrong. I do, however, mind your rude ad hominem above and accusations of introducing "red herrings". <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 16:49, 14 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Regarding the moon, it was to help you realize the errors of your ways. It failed, as you claimed the sun accelerates toward the Earth at 9.8 m/s2
 * Regarding center of mass of both bodies or center of mass of Earth...the direction is exactly the same, so this is a moot point. (Yes, it would not be exactly the same when you take deviations from a perfect sphere into account.)  Regarding the frame of reference, on Earth, we have one, it is earth, and when we drop objects in under graduate physics labs, we use it.  Making a frame of reference argument to wiggle out of the fact that the fall time (read: time to impact) depends on the distance between the two objects and the mass of *each* object is intellectually dishonest.  Just admit you had a brain fart.  16:46, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Are, there you are again. here is my considered response:


 * 1) You are right about the physics, I stand corrected.
 * 2) You are a very rude debater, Heart. I am now "intellectually dishonest" as well. Did I start this ad hominem thing somewhere or was it your idea? <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 16:52, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Sorry for being rude to you Human. I am outnumbered, and if you ask me, Devils advocate started the rudeness, which he continued here.  When you wrote what you did on my talk page, I assumed you were shifting to DA's hostile camp.  I do apologize to you for my rudeness.   17:00, 14 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Apparantly, my apology above was deemed insufficient by others. I apologize for the "massive and unjustified ad hominom attack against you."  Seiously.   23:44, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, I didn't see the intermediate stages, but I can certainly appreciate and accept the result, which I only have to credit to you. I will strive to put the incident utterly behind me and accept your apology in the spirit in which it is offered.  Peace. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 01:00, 19 July 2007 (CDT)

Science portal
I have started piecing it together Category:Science check it out and think about how best to integrate it in table of contents/front page. 15:06, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Looks good. Next step is to go through allfiles and essay: looking for things to add to the cat.  Evolution isn't even in there!  Then, it should be "up" with religion and politics, maybe even first.  The six "above the fold" portals should be trimmed to maybe 3 example articles if possible.  I am also going to try to make category:Sexuality more portal-like (like, I'll steal your formatting!), and add a template to the articles like the CP stuff has.  Although, it will always be linked "below the fold" I think on the TOC. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 15:17, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I created a portal namespace, in case anyone wants to use it. --<font color="#00FF00">Linus (plot evil tech) 16:49, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Evolution is in there, just under the subcategory of biology. Linus, we seem to be adapting the category page as our "portal" not sure we need the namespace. We can see though. 17:39, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

I "portalized" the other links and rearranged some stuff in table of contents and pruned some of our "recommendations" on the front page. 20:19, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah I saw, looked good. Question.  Should articles in "sub categories" also be in the main category?  I think they should.  So category:science would be stuffed with articles, the sub cats would only contain their part of the main cat?  Does that make sense?

Family

 * Nope, I'm not related to anyone..... Except my Family... and even that might be mistaken identity (May Dickens Be With You) SirChuckB 01:07, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Hitchens
His book, god is Not GREAT, finally made the bargain bin, 5.99@ Borders. I've been wanting to read a book by him for a while, though I'm finding I don't much like his style, perhaps he's like scotch though and subsequent readings will make me appreciate him more. CЯacke ® 22:18, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
 * He was on either the Daily Show or Colbert, ok, not great talking head, but whatever. He sticks his neck out, and of course, is right. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 22:20, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
 * He does Real time with Bill Maher fairly often. He's a bit to the left of Andrew Sullivan but not by much. He's about in-line with Bill Buckley though not on the same issues. Hawkish, but not stupidly so. CЯacke ®  22:43, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

how?
how are you making your post invisible? That might become my "new thing" here. Bohdan 01:43, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
 * The same way HG gave you his email address - tagging it as a "comment" in html. Very, very bad wiki-style, hiding words, though.  Please don't run with it - why not "unretire"?  Doesn't mean you have to hang out often, just makes your talk page "live" again.  Hoji comes here and ain't been banned from CP for not being "retired". <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 01:51, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I like being retired. But, if you think it is for the best, could you remove the retired from my talk page, but leave it on the userpage?Bohdan
 * Sure - but so can you. I'll do it for you and "unhide" my note to you. If others ciritcize me for it we may have to remove it from your user page, too, but you can just type "retired" there, or "infrequent vandal". <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 02:03, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Go ahead and do whatever is procedure. Two questions;


 * Am I still the resident vandal?
 * Do I have a vandalism quota? Bohdan 02:06, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
 * We don't really have a procedure. If no one objects, it's fine.  If they do, we adapt and learn.


 * Of course you are.
 * I think that was discussed, and it came out to a few a day or something - with original or funny vandalism not coming off the quota. A very fluid guideline, of course.
 * Did you need a complimentary 2 minute block? They're free! <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 02:11, 19 July 2007 (CDT)

Pages you've started
I think this may be giving you credit for pages you've moved, but I'm not sure.

I'm filtering out talk, user, template, and image pages. I can give you the list with those included if you want, but it jumps from 108 items to 600something.
