Hello, and welcome to my '''laboratory'''! This page is reserved for experimenting with my every whim and fancy before I implement them into Wikipedia! Feel free to look over anything that I have going-on and to comment about anything!!

==RfA Ideology Analysis==

I will attempt to scan the results of the successful adminships and the unsuccessful ones too for similarities. I will make a list of my findings here and maybe the info can be used to generate policy. Soon I will move this out into the Wikipedia namespace.

Ok, some guidelines:

*Ok, you can do 2005 or 2004 because we only need to do every three months or so. You don't even have to do all of the candidate for a certain month. You can do half of them!
*Group similiar phrases such as 'good' and 'good Wikipedian' together. Also, 'good editor', 'strong editor', and 'consistent editor' should be grouped together.
*Don't start a month until it is over with.
*Only tally information as it is givin. Don't compare how long an editor has been with Wikipedia with their actual user count. Tally it only if a supporter or opposer has mentioned it.
*I have made a [[#Blanktally|blank tally sheet]] so that you can copy it to one your namespace pages and work on it from there to avoid edit conflicts. After you've completed gathering all of the information then paste it to this page: [[User:Jaberwocky6669/Laboratory/Completed Tally Sheets|Completed Tally Sheets]]


Ok, I have finally arrived at an acceptable tally sheet. Everything should now be second nature. Just use the blank tally sheet at the bottom of the page and paste it to your own userspace please. After you've completed gathering all of the information the paste it to this page: [[User:Jaberwocky6669/Laboratory/Completed Tally Sheets|Completed Tally Sheets]]

==Misc.==

If you're here for the RfA Analysis then disregard this stuff unless you want to look at it. Be warned it's boring and unstructured.

:''Just as Wikipedia develops according to each of our edits then so shall this game; therefore, you may feel free to change the rules of this game. With that, any edits that are just plain silly will be reverted.''

'''N degrees of separation''' is a wikigame derived from two things. One, another page located on [[Wikipedia:Department_of_fun|Dept. of Fun]]. Two, the [[Small world phenomenon]] experiment. The idea of this page, thus, is to expand on these quite a bit in order to create something that is both fun and functional!

The rules, which are quite flexible, are as follows:

''For puzzle providers:''
#Generate a [[Randomness|random]] page which we shall call the '''Start'''.
#Generate a second random page which shall be called the '''Goal'''.
#Then state these pages on this main page by using the ''template'' provided below for ease of use.
#If solvers are not allowed use lists and dates then neither can providers!

''For solvers:''
#Attempt to follow the links, starting from '''Start''' until you arrive at '''Goal'''.
#Post a new start and goal for the next round.
#Try to get there without using lists and dates.

Here's the template:

<center>
<nowiki>== --> ==</nowiki>
<br>
<br><nowiki>*Start: [[]]</nowiki>
<br><nowiki>*Goal: [[]]</nowiki>
<br>
<br><nowiki>Contributed by: ~~~~ </nowiki>
<br>
<br><nowiki>[[]] --> [[]] --> [[]] --> [[]] --></nowiki>
<br>
<br>Finished by:
<br>
<br><nowiki>----</nowiki>
</center>

Now all you have to do is simply copy and paste this example and expand it as needed!

If a goal page is an orphan then link to it with relevant pages. It may be boring but here at Wikipedia it is one of the ways for editors to improve it.

'''Note:''' After some correspondence/discussion between [[User:Jaberwocky6669|Jaberwocky6669]] and [[User:Penwhale|Penwhale]], as of [[October 2]], solutions have to be provided ''without'' the usage of lists, dates. Disambiguation pages are OK, but texts in other pages serving the purpose of disambiguation are disallowed. Here's an example: [[Chain]] is an disambiguation page. It's allowed (as it is somewhat critical). [[National Hockey League]] has a link to [[National Historic Landmark]], but that's on the page for disambiguation (no direct relation), and has to be discarded.

'''''See also:''''' ''Kate's tools'' - http://kohl.wikimedia.org/~kate/cgi-bin/six_degrees which does use lists.''
