Talk:Prisoners' Rights Wiki

Instead of cutting down this article Nathan Larson should provide the missing information.

• Where is the Logo?
• Who else was involved in the founding?
• What was the actual time of existence?
• How much articles at peak time?
• What was the reason for the shut down?

I can send you the database and file system if you want. It has all that. I forget how the conversation went in which it was decided to create a Prisoner's Rights Wiki, but August and I were definitely the only two people involved. I may have suggested some possible options for what to make the wiki about; I know that August made the final decision to make it a prisoners' rights wiki. Beyond that, August's role was to sit there while I said, "Okay, type this..." and then type it, to get MediaWiki set up. They also picked out the logo.

Since August didn't end up becoming an Inclupedia programmer, the need to have a small production wiki to test code on and play around with administering wasn't as great as it otherwise might have been. And as it turned out, August apparently didn't have much to write about prisoners' rights (at least on-wiki), because they never wrote a single article on there, that I can recall.

Ugh, I really don't feel like trying to get that MediaWiki installation imported, working, etc. right now. Anyway, I'm counting a grand total of 14 mainspace articles: Editorials, First_Amendment_Center, First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution, Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp_suicide_attempts, LGBT_people_in_prison, Main_Page, Nagem_Hatab, Paruresis, Postcard-only_policy, Prisology, Prison_Litigation_Reform_Act, Prison_abolition_movement, Prison_rape, and Prisoner_abuse.

There are two users in the user table, and all the revisions except for a bunch of imports (probably from Wikipedia), were by me. Leucosticte (talk) 15:25, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
