Most unfortunate news

You've been made into a sysop. Please report to your nearest bureaucrat with your broom and dustpan. Thank you. The Spikey Punk ^{I'm punking my punk!} 00:18, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! Dalek (talk) 00:18, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Because I needed a janitor of my very own. The Goonie 1 ^{What's this button do? Uh oh....} 00:21, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

FYI

In addition to {{ken}} to render Ken we also have {{kens}}Ken's to avoid the cumbersome looking Ken's.

Election chart thing

Should we put it in Forum or main space? Tyrannis^{An Iron, but caring, fist} 17:52, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

I'd be inclined to a simple Fun or RationalWiki page. We can all put predictions on the page, and then discuss things during the night on the talk page? Wikitable can be copied fairly easily from the Fun:Best Liberal Words page. Dalek (talk) 18:01, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'll make the article(mainspace). Tyrannis^{An Iron, but caring, fist} 18:03, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Barnstars

We have them, they just forgot them, or the fact that some were created by a rather controversial member who has since retired. [[Category:Barnstar_award_templates]]. ^{An iron, yet caring fist} 14:14, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

IP

You revealed your IP by accident again. If your IP is static then you can block it if you want, just check the anons only box and you can still edit. --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 02:03, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Will block it now. Any chance you could remove that edit? Sorrrry! And thanks for all the help. ^EXTERMINATE 02:06, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I already blocked your IP. No further action required. Lord of the Goons ^{The official spikey-haired skeptical punk} 02:08, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcoming

Have you see MediaWiki:Welcomecreation? It's the message every newbie now sees automatically after they create their account. --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 21:43, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, that's cool. Can we edit this just like any other article (I know it is bureaucrat-locked), or is it limited in size and style? ^EXTERMINATE 21:44, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't think there's really a limit on style, I originally created it to look just like the welcome template. --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 21:48, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I imagine a lot of people skipping it over and barely noticing it, just going back to main page or whatever, maybe some colour would help it out. If I made a suggested one, in my userspace, would people be at least prepared to look at it, or shall we just leave it to the 'crats? ^EXTERMINATE 21:51, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

There's no reason not to. --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 21:53, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Have a nice day too :). Wait, there's only me?! Finally, time to go into bot mode and start pushing my Creationist agenda! ^EXTERMINATE 10:16, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for that. I have no idea why it double-posted, I only hit it once. --Kels (talk) 14:11, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

No problem, my computer seems to do it sometimes too. No idea why. ^EXTERMINATE 14:12, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

That bouncing ball

I was away for a while, and missed the mass removal of the {{wp}} template. How about putting something like this in a visible spot on the template page or its /doc page?

This template is reserved for individually determined special cases. Before adding it to any mainspace page, first seek consensus on that article's talk page.

Good call, shall do. Thankies. ^EXTERMINATE 23:37, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Cheers, I see what you did. Well, some of it. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 23:53, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

$\pi$

I think I'll try to write up something about pi woo tomorrow to fill out the pseudomathematics stuff a bit. Do you have any thoughts about what pages should be created? I'm thinking that infamous Indiana law might deserve its own page, but I'm not sure what to do with the other stuff. All the claimed values for pi stuff is closely intertwined with squaring the circle, but as it stands that page is more or a less a subset of compass and straightedge constructions. I'm thinking of changing squaring the circle to focus more on specific claimed values for pi and other stupid stuff people have said. Another possibility would just be to dump all this stuff on a page "Fallacies about pi" or something and keep it in one place. Any comments? --MarkGall (talk) 05:29, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
