Talk:List of ScienceBlogs posts

This looks very nice! ħuman 20:03, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Based on the current rate of Toast's Susan's liveblogging, I predict that this list is going to get very big very quickly. Not that that's a bad thing. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 20:04, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Cheers each. It's not my personal property though - feel free to contribute.   ^Contribs_Talk 20:08, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Definitely a good idea and worth expanding to other articles. AiG, WND and perhaps some of our articles on prominent YouTubers. ^postate 21:11, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

This is a good idea. A bit like an intelligent RSS feed. --^{Ask me about your mother} 22:09, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Intelligent? <Blushes> It also has the advantage of not disappearing with time.   ^Contribs_Talk 22:19, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

That was my clause! Three internet bunnies to whoever gets that reference. ħuman 01:52, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I think we should keep this page for ScienceBlogs only, since doing so would create an excellent reference page to find information for articles. As such, I think it would be very, very useful in the long run. Then we could make separate pages for WND and/or YouTube so that they each get their own feed. That way the pages stay separated by authorial slant and don't get too long too quickly. Also, does anyone know how we could get the table to sort by category as well as date? Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 23:27, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

?It sorts on any column? I think That's what Armondikov meant (separate ones, that is).   ^Contribs_Talk 23:37, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh, DUH. It does that already. I fail at observation skills :( Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 23:40, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Is there any way to get it to parse to an RSS feed on-wiki? I can write a script to do it locally, but seems like it would be neat to make an actual feed available... --MarkGall (talk) 23:58, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Probably, but the trouble is there's a load of crap on ScienceBlogs (not really crap but not Rother reference
or commentW Mission oriented). Even PZ has trivia that's a bit in-crowdy.   ^Contribs_Talk 00:15, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Did I misunderstand you? Did you mean the article overleaf and not as I thought SB?   ^Contribs_Talk 00:17, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry -- I'd be interested in just getting the stuff posted to this list, as it's updated, rather than all of SB. But I suppose paying attention here ought to have the same effect. --MarkGall (talk) 00:19, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Heh! you'll just have to bookmark it then (or play with wget I suppose) 00:27, 8 March 2010 (UTC)   ^Contribs_Talk

Nice work, Susan! Although I was a bit confused by your date format - maybe scienceblogs will be a bit too much for me... DeltaStar_{Senior Sysop}^{Speciationspeed!} 13:52, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Yeah,I don't like it but unless someone can tell me a better (hint, hint), it's the only way I can see to make it sortable. ScienceBlogs is fun (and informative)   ^Contribs_Talk 14:18, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Wow!

This page is awesome. Thanks a lot for putting this together, Susan! Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 03:01, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Hah! let's see if I have the OCD to keep it up before you splash thanks about.   ^Contribs_Talk 03:07, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Even at your current liveblogging rate you are giving me far more interesting things to read than I normally would in the course of a day. *hat tip* Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 03:08, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

I like the Big Bang Series; I've never really understood "inflation" before (not that I do now, but I can dream) 03:12, 10 March 2010 (UTC)   ^Contribs_Talk

Archiving

This page is growing rapidly! Would it be possible to put older entries in a show/hide box or an archive? I'd do it but I don't have the technical know-how. Also: Susan, I envy both the amount of free time you have on your hands and your dedication to this article. But mostly your free time. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 02:21, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Do what you want with it, I'm not bothered any more. 04:23, 18 March 2010 (UTC) ^Contribs_Talk

Subpages in mainspace

There are none. So where to put this? Project space perhaps? Тy^{Complaints here} 15:19, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Delete page

This page probably needs to be deleted. The articles do not appear to exist anywhere, anymore, and no one updated the actual list since 2010. Godot The ablity to breath is such an overrated ability 16:43, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

ScienceBlogs changed their software platform, so the format of the URLs has changed. The new ones probably can be recovered with little effort.

As for deletion, if "hasn't been updated since YEAR" was a deletion criterion, a lot of the wiki would get vaporized.--ZooGuard (talk) 16:56, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

my "hasn't been updated" was predicated on the fact that none of the links worked, and searching the site didn't seem to locate the 3 or 4 articles I found. but that's why I didn't delete till someoen "in the know" had a say. If we can find working links, fine by me to drop the delete issue.Godot The ablity to breath is such an overrated ability 17:04, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

OK, I found out that to update a link, you need to replace the underscores with dashes and remove the .php suffix.[1] The bad news is that this has to be done for all of the links. :( I'll try to think of a suitable regular expression to avoid doing it manually.--ZooGuard (talk) 17:10, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
