Formatting[edit]

@Antigem I assume you're okay with me formatting all this? Also, I can't seem to find the text for the footnotes. —Kazitor, pending 21:40, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

You are correct that I'm ok with your formatting. I started throwing in footnotes in the middle of the article. Before I discovered I was unable to format even the simplest things (like bold face print.) I figured they were my personal reminder. The first two are a couple of paragraphs down. Now let's start with what I had for footnote 3. A bit after the part about Freddy Kreuger. The Gematrinator homepage is a place where the search for personal synchronicity is encouraged. I wanted to link it to the article. Gematrinator.com. Now, in case they should get the idea to password protect the site, I thought the process would be archive->link->stays with article regardless of outside adjustments. If that's the case, everywhere I envisioned a webpage link, don't you need the URL every time? That's going to take a bit of research. I will, but it will be a bit before those are ready. I sure don't expect YOU to go searching for the Sandy Hook post Hubbard made doing gematria on LNZ for Adam Lanza. You, as the extender of the formatting get to tell me if you want all the ducks in a row first or if you can start with the basics now and I can give a yell when the rest is ready. Or, if I can code these things longhand by typing brackets and such, I can do that myself if I could get a list of commands. I also envisioned links to existing RW dictionary terms like NWOdidit and such. Thanks for all your help so far. It means a lot to me. And although BULLSHIT =113, and DISHONEST = 113, I say that truthfully because VERACIOUS =113 and IT'S THE GOD HONEST TRUTH=113. (I'm proud of my antonym list.)Antigem (talk) 23:18, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Cheatsheet has a list of the various formatting codes. If you're unable to type any particular characters (such as th degree sign), jsut leave a placeholder and I can replace it for you. There's also Help:Contents with a variety of help topics. —Kazitor, pending 01:32, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
I will start some editing the formatting on Friday. I noticed the article on fairies has a link to a Youtube channel that has been deleted. How do you avoid that? Notes to self - NWO vs. freemason. Link off ok gematria page "if you're looking for the way the tin hats practice this now you want : "New Gematria". Links to RW dictionary, e.g. Bullshit. Work on subjectivity/coincidences/lampreys? Probably not, but...hmmmm. Found a way to copy links...need to test pasting. More antonyms. Expand 113 narrative?22:21, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the editing codes. I've got a good handle on formatting and successfully put a link to a blog page in the references. This should keep me busy on my own for awhile.Antigem (talk) 18:18, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

No problem, happy to help. —Kazitor, pending 21:04, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
I accidentally reverted my most recent edits. Can you put them back?Antigem (talk) 19:33, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
False alarm. I found the UNDO.Antigem (talk) 20:21, 13 January 2018 (UTC)Not done yet....i know I didn't sign off.

Coming along nicely[edit]

Now that you've sorted out formatting, this page is coming along well. Just out of curiosity, is there any specific reason you removed that table? —Kazitor, pending 11:02, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Dyne/cm. Erg. I lost my message as we were playing the editing equivalent of phone tag. Which is to the point of what I was up to - higher level formatting. The dog is still sleeping, so back to the drawing board.

1). I lost the table. When I viewed it last it was not in a table format. I probably screwed up and messed up the coding. It would look much nicer in table form, and easier to edit in the future. I stick by my personal assessment that an unbiased reader of the article should be impacted by TRUE and BOGUS having the same value in the original system. 2). My own undo - I messed up formatting a reference link. I don't want to have the format show as "https:dumbasscontent.dumbassvideo.com". If you can format one to be something like "sample link format" I should be able to figure out the rest. 3). Should be last, but I'm saving that for the big one. After exposing myself to near infinite irrationality for a year it's nice to be among people that can put together a logical argument. I want to express my gratitude to RW asa whole. If there's an appropriate spot for such a message please advise.

Edit conflicts happen, no biggie. I put the table back. I guess you could say something in the RationalWiki:Saloon bar? That's where anything that doesn't go anywhere else goes. —Kazitor, pending 11:43, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
4). The Jenna Coleman is the Antichrist game. I spent a lot of time on this on my blog. Perhaps it's beyond the line if good taste. It combines how easy it is to make any number out of reduction ciphers with why they giggle like two year olds at "666". Even if amused, I think Ms. Coleman might suggest that enough is enough. How about if I link my blog page to the reference and if you don't already know I'm out of line you can judge from that?Antigem (talk) 12:02, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
RationalWiki is totally cool =113. Telling it like it is =113. Veracious=113Antigem (talk) 12:37, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Reference group "new"[edit]

Sorry to bother you again, but you've added a few references in the format of <ref group=new>...</ref>. Do you intend for these to be part of a separate group, the "note" group, or standard references (no named group)? —Kazitor, pending 10:27, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

I was about to get back to you on that. I want those added to the original reference list. I threw them in as a bookmark for placement. There's a couple of section titles that could be sized down. I have a new section for a Hall of Fame, each which will be linked to external sources of some of the more amusing finds I've uncovered over the months. Then I suppose I'll proofread myself again (what I've spent most if this morning) and then look for someone else to go over grammar (I think I tend to use too many commas, e.g.) and then it will be in a condition I can be satisfied as a final product.Antigem (talk) 11:23, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Can you add the new to the notes group? I can't find the ref list.Antigem (talk) 11:25, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure which ones were meant to be in which group, but hopefully this is correct. —Kazitor, pending 11:57, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
That' what I hoped for.Antigem (talk) 14:27, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
Looks like I'm done. If I have any more obvious typos or grammar problems my blinders prevent me from seeing them.Antigem (talk) 18:19, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
I'll have a look through it soon and check for any remaining errors. Great work! —Kazitor, pending 07:13, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
Notes to self. Article name alternatives. Remove hall of fame ref to author edited out mistake post. Learn to update reference lists independent of mods. Trend of expansion ciphers contracted by number shaving. Hubbard and Gematrinator individual pages? Pipe in Pi to main article.Antigem (talk) 10:42, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Almost there[edit]

@Antigem I went through the whole thing and clarified what I could. Two parts I didn't understand:

  1. The second paragraph of Pi and its derivatives
  2. The first sentence of the second paragraph of PhraseShopping

Fix those and hopefully that'll be it :D —Kazitor, pending 07:01, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

It's hard to structure the article when dealing with source material that is all over the map, reverse engineering from the desired result to the origin. Here's what I did-
  1. Referenced changing words which appears below the Pi section.
  2. Hopefully clarified how after PERSON and EVENT numerology you need to tie in some dumbass freemason value from their list of annoying catch phrases.
  3. While editing Pi added a paragraph, which also has the misfortune of getting ahead of myself. Even if out of place here it will need your formatting skills. Pi symbols and fractions. I can't do those. In theory, I could link the actual comment off a YouTube video. I have been abusing that video for months with comments that should shatter their little world. If there's a video out there that should be deleted by the maker, this is it. I get the feeling that I've linked in enough to give a taste of things actually occurring without just taking my word for it without chopping up the article completely by doing it everywhere.— Unsigned, by: Antigem / talk / contribs
@Antigem how's that? —Kazitor, pending 10:24, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Works for me. I scanned through everything and have no other issues with your fixes.Antigem (talk) 10:36, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Look, it's all your hard work! A toast! —Kazitor, pending 10:39, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the toast. It will go nicely with my ventreche and Ovarian Illuminati egg omelet.Antigem (talk) 11:31, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
