paranoid
Thanks, I should have known better! (whoops, that's the Beatles). I was on a stream of unconsciousness roll, thinking of sabbath bloody sabbath, and then I realized Iron Man was perfect for the reference, and got my BS records mixed up. You fixed it to exactly what I intended. human be in 10:01, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

I can't believe I screwed up my &mdash; s. I should be more careful on a showpiece article like that, that so many people worked so hard on. Thanks for catching it! Gawd, that article was just a glimmer in Trent's eye yesterday afternoon... human be in 23:57, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Hey, it gave me something useful to contribute! --jtl talk 00:09, 22 June 2007 (CDT)

Utter, Profound, Absolute, Total Cluelessness about criticism
Hi. I have deleted the content of the page "Conservapedia:Utter..." and copied it to "Category:Utter..." so that it will appear in only one place in the "Category:Conservapedia" page. It's on the top now, alphabetized under "U". (I tried to do a "move page", but that doesn't work between namespaces.) This means that I had to delete your redirect page so that it won't appear on the bottom also. I hope that's OK. I'm totally new here, but having a wonderful time. SJIHAS 20:14, 24 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Sounds good to me. I went ahead and deleted the now-empty page.  Glad you're having a good time! --jtl talk 20:20, 24 June 2007 (CDT)

CP category sort
Hi, I think you were right about the category sort. I had been looking to see if there was a way to apply it to the namespace as a whole before going through all the articles to change them, but there doesn't seem to be. So thanks for doing the hard work! I've made a slight change though: Adding  instead of   will make sure the article is properly sorted in all categories rather than just the conservapedia one. So I made that change to the template and the few articles that didn't have it. --Stevo (talk) 07:12, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

you should have mail

Contents
Hi, just wanted to clean up this loose end. Could we: Thanks -- Stevo (talk) 06:38, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * 1) Delete RationalWiki:Contents
 * 2) Move Template:RationalWiki_MainPage/Featured_Content to RationalWiki:Contents
 * 3) Restore all revisions of RationalWiki:Contents to merge the histories?
 * All done. Thanks for the reminder. --<font face="Monaco,Consolas,Courier New,Courier,Fixed">jtl talk 12:46, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Muchas gracias. Yeah you were always going to have to do the last bit manually because the page move counts as the latest revision. -- Stevo (talk) 12:48, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

Also, I've compiled a list of redirects with few links to them on my sandbox page. I've told Human about it too. Dig in! -- Stevo (talk) 12:39, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

random motto
talk about your pingponging conversations!

The "choose" thing came from http://uncyclopedia.org/index.php?title=Template:Stub&action=edit

It uses sub templates, but unless class="boilerplate metadata" is important, they don't do much - see one at http://uncyclopedia.org/index.php?title=Template:Allstubs&action=edit

It would be nice to have all the mottos/slogans on one page. Googling "mediawiki choose option" as I type... <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 19:46, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I think the extension is called "RandomSelection". shall I pester Linus or Tmt for it? <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 19:50, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Ah, here it is -- RandomSelection works better than random_selection. I think Linus is our best bet. --<font face="Monaco,Consolas,Courier New,Courier,Fixed">jtl talk 20:04, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Cool. When it's working, it will show up correctly here and we could just switch templates on the main page, if you like.  I also notice that the weighting is not percentages, but ratios, which is cool. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 20:23, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Awwwwesome, all loaded up now, eh? Did we delete the "other" version files yet? <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 22:32, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Yep, all whitewashed away. Now they'll never be able to tell what we did there for a while!  --<font face="Monaco,Consolas,Courier New,Courier,Fixed">jtl talk 22:42, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

tech help
I ask because I suspect you know how to do this: can you figure out an easy way for me to "list" articles I have started? So I can check for unfinished orphans saying "I'll work on this"? I'm trying to clean up my random crap. Thanks! <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 22:40, 11 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I don't know of an easy way, and it seems like an obvious enhancement to me -- the recent changes list shows when pages are new, but (as you've probably noticed) the user contribution list doesn't. I have some tools to allow some analysis of a user's edits, which I could make recognize new pages, I think.  They don't deal well with moved pages, though, which is likely to be a problem here. --<font face="Monaco,Consolas,Courier New,Courier,Fixed">jtl talk 23:26, 11 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, it would seem easy and obvious, to a n00b like me. Dang if it isn't hard to do! I asked you because you heve done some incredible analyiss of CP edit, at times.<font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human <font color="#00AA00">be in 23:33, 11 July 2007 (CDT)
