Hey pen! How's it going? Are you alright? Still here? ☠ Jaguar ☠ 19:50, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- Of course he is. They are soon to introduce a new admin power whereby an administrator questioning the action of a peon, can prevent the peon making any further edits until the peon acknowledges a message as written by the administrator.
- No block will need to be made, just by coincidence the peon will not be able to edit until they accept the message as dictated by the administrator.
- I'm sure this will help to make sure that... something? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 02:11, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
I am still here Jaguar, and apparently still an imminent threat to the project :D
I miss the orange band across the top of the page for new messages, that was cool. There was like a pavlovs doggie thingy where you saw the orange and thought WooHoo !!!! I guess someone didn't like that either. (they thought, nobody loves me, so I'll make it so nobody else is loved either, or so they thought)
It would be so cool if people could be *Forced* into not leaving en.wiki, then, as soon as en.wiki forked, every good editor would be sucked out from here and arrive in the new project all at once, like sci-fi or comedy, there are so many sketches that fit what I'm thinking of, but as it is, it's hard to go and find them all.
Jag, you should come to commons ! on commons, they call 'articles' 'files', and you can destroy HEAPS of them, they even have things called 'mass deletions', I've done a few, it's fun. :) although my time there is better spent on valuable additions like polandball and insect porn, with their undeniable educational value. Lemme show you some.
Very important work there, but in some ways it suffers a few of the same problems, but in a way less so, because there is a occasionally-functioning de-sysop process (possibly), I think it must have been made out of fear that non-Americans might become sysops and need fixing ;) not like on en.wiki where everyone is assumed to be a fat redneck, (hmm, I should go read the official bias page, I seem to have a fuzzy recollection of some of the statistics)
I'm glad that you and Pesky are still about, I can't visit her page easily, but it is good to know that she is ok and still kickin. I've been tinkering with my programming knowledge-base in the areas of robotics and so forth, useful things for a fork. I think wikialpha is cool, but I don't know that they could handle all of wiki if I asked PALZ to copy it. I like PALZ, I mean, I know he hates me and is trying to kill me, but honestly I get that a lot, and he does a good job of fixing up those space station articles, so it balances itself out in the end I guess. PLUS there is that corny movie Tron, which I have a copy of the newer one (must get the old one) and there is that nerdy 'tron guy' I know, but maybe that's cause it IS a cult movie, maybe people just don't know it yet. Hmmm, I kindof like it, the idealism, the god awful shallow villains, the power of the creator, the whole cyberworld thing, hmm, whistful thinking.
Peons makes me think of warcraft II, you click on the Orc Peon too many times, he tells you 'my tummy fells funny' and then burps loud and long. Penyulap ☏ 05:12, 4 May 2013 (UTC) 05:12, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Penyulap. I completely agree with everything you said, and whatever decision you make, I'll support. Yeah I noticed that they got rid of the big orange band for new messages, I loved that! It was one of those things that made Wikipedia great, but all good things must come to an end eventually. I guess somebody thought it was time to a change and now they introduced in a new crappy notifications system.
- I think it's about time you should be unblocked, Wikipedia will be so much better with you around and editing. But then again this project is more or less doomed and too politically correct for people like us! Yes me and Pesky are still here, and Dr. Blofeld... and a handful of other good editors too, but I think we're all that's left! I haven't been on Wikipedia for months, I can't create anything anymore, and I can't expand on anything either without other people interfering...
- Commons? I'll check it out. I uploaded a few pics on there two years ago but I suppose people have got things like Instagram now where people can just look and mess about with photos in a more simplistic way. Yes it would be great if all the good editors could get transported from here to a new Wiki, a place where we could be our own bosses! Who knows? It might actually happen one day!
