Red Links
Is there a way to find articles that have loads of redlinks? I'm envisioning a list of pages sorted by number of redlinks in descending order. Sort of like a reverse Wanted Pages. That might be an efficient way of going after them, and also of tracking down serial redlink-creators for horsewhipping goatwhipping.--Bayesupdate 16:18, 6 November 2007 (EST)
 * 162.82.215.199 16:20, 6 November 2007 (EST)


 * Wanted pages shows a list of non-extant pages that are linked to. I'm thinking of a list of extant pages sorted by the number of redlinks that they contain.--Bayesupdate 16:34, 6 November 2007 (EST)
 * Yeah, I know what you mean - a gold mine list. I try to find them by following "odd" entries on the wp list - scored two gems today, one a subpage of hoji's (it's his cp page, unedited, so it's full of links that don't work), and the awful essay:New World Order page, which I removed, I swear, a hundred links from today. (wp went from 905 to 770 in the last couple hours...).  But there ought to be a way to do what you suggest.  I just don't know how.  So I'd suggesting asking Trent and/or Linus, they have more skills, especially on back end stuff, which might be required.
 * Speaking of red links, do you want to remove this one, now that the essay is gone? (Anyone else, and I'd do it myself with an explanation and an apology, but I'd rather ask you first.) Thanks, Researcher 03:29, 19 December 2007 (EST)
 * Done, and hey, feel free to do it yourself when you find anything like that on my pages. It's always easy to revert if there was a reason for a link... human  14:13, 19 December 2007 (EST)

Can you see if you can make this more visually appealing? Tables maybe? 00:45, 13 November 2007 (EST)

C.E. Young'uns
Good name. On principle I like to choose my own, but I must admit I have no ideas coming to me at the moment. Did I choose mostly youngsters (of course, we must count the man-child Andy as a youngster)? I wasn't aware. Then again, the collective naivete makes me assume so many of them are children (is Ken really older than 16?).

Censoring my comment on Cracker's page
No, I don't mind that you did that - I think it speaks to what we're trying to get at - If I don't think links to the Nazi Party belong of W-power's userpage, I shouldn't have a hard time with you toning down the strong language that I was using only to make a point.PFoster 22:50, 18 November 2007 (EST)

maybe it has something to do with all the nazi/white supremicist garbage that the site has been attracting ever since RW and Metapedia got each other in their sights? Cause that's been pissing me off to no end and making RW way less fun than it used to be. PFoster 14:22, 19 November 2007 (EST)


 * I don't think so - we've had plenty of little spats or discussions over time. The fact that none have turned into outright decampments to war is pretty cool.  And, yeah, PFoster, we managed to get lined up for a particular insidious brand of wandalism.  Which gets us arguing the free speech vs. censorship issue, even though we are probably all clustered very close together on whatever spectrum could be drawn for that issue. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  14:29, 19 November 2007 (EST)

Editing
Cheers for editing my stuff, I'm lazy at proof reading things. Question though, shouldn't Earth, the Sun and The Moon (when referring to Earth's natural satellite) be capitalised as proper names? -- 18:08, 27 November 2007 (EST)
 * YVW. As far as that, it's a tough call sometimes.  Certainly not with a "the" in front of them, no.  It's "the moon, which we pretentiously call Luna, rules the night while the sun, a/k/a Sol, rules the day as seen from our planet, which we call Terra".  See how Sol and Luna are like Jupiter, but the words earth, sun and moon are not proper nouns.  Similarly, universe is not either.  Since there was some slight inconsistency in the article, I decided to run the way I did - if it had been entirely internally consistent, I would have left it alone probably.  The tough call is when "earth" is uaed without "the" - "The moon lights Earth's nighttime sky" vs. "The moon pees on the earth's evenings" makes my head potentially hurt.  I've also got your creation/social history thing in my sights ;)
 * By the way, that moon/sun article is awesome. That was a lot of work just to school a bunch of twits! <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  19:02, 27 November 2007 (EST)

It would be funny, if it weren't so horrifying
Whilst I was wondering about dar interwebs, I came across this wonderfully loony site. I'll spare you the link to it, but it's called the "Liberty Guard of New America", one of those kooky militant anti-government sites. Oh, hell, here's the link:. It's telling just how off-mainstream they are that the first ten listings in Google mentioning the organization consisted of newspaper articles mentioning them in passing and, believe it or not, their Myspace page. I found Ed Brown reasonable (or, as reasonable as holing yourself up in your wooded home and calling for revolution can be), right up until he started mentioning the Illuminati.

As for their revised constitution, this has got to be my favorite part: "Freedom of Religion" therefore as such; shall be enforced in New America as the the public display of worship of Jesus The Christ alone. This preservation shall not include those who would chose to allegedly serve "god" through any "secret societies" or "closed to public access" dark questionable-christian formats that are punishable by penalty of law. It is NOT mandatory for one to be a protestant Christian in New America, but no other religion shall be preserved or protected by the New American Constitution. Neither shall any other religion be practiced in any public venue. Nor shall any other religion indoctrination materials or forms of persuasion be allowed. To attempt to do so is TREASON.

I half expect them to say something about upholding the white race, too.

 * Hahaha, I think I have seen that before. It's, er, batshit insane of course.  I find it hilarious - I would only find it scary if it were written in decent English.  And used real math!  Note in the Executive thing, it's a 12 member council, with 6 year terms, and two people are replaced every two years.  Does not compute... In fact, even the opening section is fairly illiterate.  Reads like it was written as a first draft by an angry drunk with poor language skills at 3 in the morning.  The only drag to ripping it apart would be reproducing enough (or all) of it to be fair and clear - there's an awful lot of gibberish to be copied over, and our reader's eyes will fall out of their sockets.

Thanks (3)
Thanks for the prompt thing on the EC page. (I'm at work, and can't always look things up like I'd like.) If you're interested, two times when the popular vote winner lost the election were in 1820 (I think) when Jackson lost to JQ Adams, and in 1876 when Tilden lost to Hayes. However, in each case, it wasn't that one won the EC, but instead other factors were at play. (No one won the EC in 1820, sending it to the House; returns from 4 states were disputed in 1876, resulting in a VERY corrupt bargain.)

By the way--you seriously rock. Researcher 19:30, 6 December 2007 (EST)
 * Aw, shucks, thanks. I'd return the compliment but then we'd have 12 other RWians over here telling us to get a room!
 * One thing the current EC does do (I should mention it over there) is solve the "no one won" problem, especially in serious 3-way races. It let JFK win with just under 50%, and of course Clinton with under 40% (IIRC) in the '92 3-way race.  Of course, there are better ways of doing this, my favorite of which is IRV.  Instant Runoff Voting lets people vote for their real first choice first, and order their 2nd, 3rd, etc. after that, as I'm sure you know.  Which would give 3rd (etc.) parties a chance to show their real support, even if they don't/can't win.  EG, we'd know who Perot voters really undermined, Bush or Clinton, and Nader voters could have had Gore as a second choice, letting them feel free to vote their conscience first.  I'm sure there are also examples where this would have helped a Republican, too, of course. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  15:11, 7 December 2007 (EST)
 * (Get a room.)--Bobbing up 15:15, 7 December 2007 (EST)
 * It *might* have helped Dewey, actually, since Strom's supporters were particularly pissed at Truman for integrating the military. I'm also a fan of that, but it would require a complete restructuring of our system in each state.  Though it might be possible to do in ONE state, but then almost every state ends up going for one person or another anyway.  (What I mean is, even if a third party gets enough votes nationally to keep the winner in a plurality, the winner still gets the majority in each of the states they win, if I understand thing correctly.  But I could be wrong; I've never studied the state vote breakdowns before.) Researcher 15:18, 7 December 2007 (EST)
 * Yes, pretty much. It results in someone eventually getting over 50% no matter how split up the votes are.  As far as boosting 3rd (etc.) parties, it would let people vote Green or Libertarian (EG) first, and Dem or GOP second - signalling support for their ideal candidate without "throwing away their vote".  Meaning we would see how many people really held those beliefs.  I think the results might be surprising.  As far as implementing IRV, yes, I think it would happen at the local/state "incubator" level first.  Whether it would be used to eliminate the EC or not is another question, since that's in the darn constitution.  I do believe there are some activist groups trying to instate IRV in some cities; and also there are other countries/lovalities using it.  But that's off the top of my head, without researching what "I think I know", hehe.  Like my dumbass thing about JFK/RMN.  Which is why I yanked it ASAP from the EC article - I was the idiot who put it in there... <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  15:24, 7 December 2007 (EST)

 * Haha, thanks, I think I had seen some of that before - somewhere on there Andy is busy trying to school a bunch of evil atheists on the origins of Devil's Mountain in Wyoming. (The Global Flood created it, of course!).  It was hilarious to watch him flounder without editorial control over what other people can say. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  14:35, 12 December 2007 (EST)

sysop powers activate
Alright, so I apologized. Give me my sysop powers back and I will come make life more interesting at RW. 01:14, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 * So I saw, over at BobM's talk page. & he accepted, so the past is the past.  Apparently, the mob wants to "vote" on it.  My personal feeling (if I felt free to act on my own & ignore the mob) would be to say, "how about making life more interesting for a week or two first?"  Someone suggested a 3 month probation on your talk page, which I think is absurd for a 6 month old wiki, but what I usually do is if I see a new, busy editor who seems to have the site's goals in their sights, I figure they might as well be a sysop so they can block vandals as well.  And that usually only takes a week or two.  I'll go paste something like this on the "vote" debate at your talk page...
 * By the way, I know you probably didn't mean it, but the wording of your request above is almost like an ultimatum. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  14:19, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Well...
Thanks very much. I promise to use my powers for good and not evil. Is there a "so you're a sysop now" brochure I need to read or sump'n? PFoster 15:20, 12 December 2007 (EST)
 * I'm not sure if there's a concise set of advice anywhere. If there is, Susan probably wrote it and put it under "help".  I was thinking as I just demoted you and Edgerunner76 that a "newsysop" template would be cool, and could link to a "sysop guidelines" article, if we wrote it.  We'll see if I get any work done today, if I do I might try to create them.  And, you're welcome! <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  15:33, 12 December 2007 (EST)


 * I just emailed you something I had kept from a previous foray of trying to write something up along the lines of what you are talking about. I was going to slap it on my page, but decided it might engender too much extraneous talk.  If it is of help, or could be, feel free to use it. --TK/MyTalk|undefined 18:48, 13 December 2007 (EST)
 * Thanks, yes, I got it. The sysop guide thing.  It's interesting, I may try to steal some of it to make something for RW.  Of course, it will get vandalized edited mercilessly, but it would be nice to have for new sysops to check out.  Explanation of their new buttons, etc. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  19:39, 13 December 2007 (EST)

Chances of being a sysop...
Exponentials aren't a nice enough way to express your chances. Rather than 99 9, how about 99 9. Look up tetration. Thats a big number. --Shagie 17:35, 13 December 2007 (EST)
 * Wow, yeah, that is a big number! Did you ever follow the annual MIT "biggest number on a blackboard" competition?  Of course, they end up using words, not "digits", and set theory and other weird stuff. By the way, you don't need the "small" tag, "sup"s are automatically smaller. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  18:19, 13 December 2007 (EST)

Hey
I know what you said, but I amn't really bothered with an encyclopedic entry on Libertarianism. I love satire. The article on Libertarianism is just silly looking. RW isn't an encyclopedia, so why would I write one? I think someone should write a satirical entry... but not one that merely misrepresents it and comes out with a ream of cliches... Hope I've made things clearer, and sorry if I offended you at all. MarcusCicero 18:47, 13 December 2007 (EST)
 * No offense taken... the tough thing is that we don't really do "pure" satire - we are trying to actually cover things, although with our POV (the one ont he main page), and, with our seemingly endless need to make at least ourselves laugh. Pure satire belongs on uncyclopedia, I think.  Or I bet liberapedia would love a good satire of libertarianism.  So, is that the only article here that you've read, or just the only one you think is "silly looking"?  After all, this is a wiki, and everything is a work in progress.  Maybe no one wants to work on that article on this particular day when you request us to rewrite it? <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  19:43, 13 December 2007 (EST)
 * I like the way this place is a pisstake - I've been lurking around for a while now and have read a few articles. MarcusCicero 08:55, 16 December 2007 (EST)

Crazy Constitution thingy
I finished my commentary...what the heck should we title it, and what namespace does it go in? Researcher 16:37, 14 December 2007 (EST)
 * Well, first, I think the mainspace would be fine. However, if there's a lot of first person voice in it from you, or if you don't want it mercilessly "improved", then it should go in essay.  As far as a title... do we know the name of the "group" that made this thing up?  As an essay, it could just be "Constitutional lunacy" or something.  Hmm, that would work in main, too, I guess.  "Alternative consitution for an alternative universe" is a bit long... the lunacy one is easy to remember and might actually get linked once in a while.  Give me a link when you put it up, will ya? <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  16:51, 14 December 2007 (EST)
 * By the way, my first reaction was that "Crazy Constitution thingy" was a pretty good title... <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  16:52, 14 December 2007 (EST)
 * Went with the actual title of the piece Constitution of the New America. It's in mainspace, and people can edit it.  (If I feel the edits get crazy, I can always put another version in essay later, right?)  Researcher 16:57, 14 December 2007 (EST)

Which Elassint retired? The real one, or the wandal? And if the real one did, why?--PalMD-If it looks like a donut, eat it 16:32, 21 December 2007 (EST)
