User talk:Proxima Centauri: Difference between revisions

Looks good to me.  [[User:Chadlupkes|Chadlupkes]] 16:09, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

Good idea for a category. There are a good proportion of the [[wiki]]s in [[:category: Science]] that could be shifted to [[:category:Pseudoscience]]. --[[User:Spud Gun|<b><FONT COLOR="#8B3A3A">Carl McBride</FONT></b>]] ([[User talk:Spud Gun|talk]]) 07:01, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

Hello, I made you a [[sysop]] because, through your efforts here, you care about this [[wiki]].  Work here is open - much of it is a reference (like [[Wikis to Add]] - not exactly what I had envisioned - but cool none the less :-)  I hope to highlight some cool things that are happening within wiki communities here - give it some warmth.  But really - you can build it in a direction you want.  One thing I think is lacking is [[welcoming]].  Several years ago, many of us got together at [[WikiSym]] in [[:Category:Denmark|Denmark]] and we set up [[WikiOhana]] - one of the first things we thought needed to happen in wikis - was to welcome people.  What also needed to happen was to welcome wikis to the [[WikiOhana]].  Look forward to more.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

Hi, I'm [[User:ForestForTrees|ForestForTrees]]. I'm way too busy right now seeding [[TMS Wiki|The TMS Wiki]] to do much editing here, but thought it would be good to introduce myself. [[User:ForestForTrees|ForestForTrees]] 12:13, 19 January 2009 (EST)

Perhaps your complaints on [[:category:Wikia]] would be more appropriate on the [[ComplaintWiki]] article, since the ComplaintWiki is an anti-Wikia wiki. In addition, I'm not sure if Wikia is going to view the article on themselves, so maybe you would be better off complaining to Wikia on a Wikia Forum if you want change, although they may have already seen your concerns on [[Uncyclopedia]]. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] 09:18, 27 January 2009 (EST)

I removed your name from [[:category:Wikia]] since everyone (including myself) appear to have this ability. Wikia is probably preparing for MediaWiki 14.0. According to [https://Lists.Wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2009-February/000084.html this], the new software is now available in its stable form. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] 15:01, 23 February 2009 (EST)

Which [[:Category:Wikia#Skins|skin]] do you use? If you're using [[:Category:Wikia#Monaco|Monaco]], then it's not Wikia that's slowing you down; it's the Monaco skin that's slowing you down. Monaco has too many elements and graphics that need extra loading time. Try switching to Monobook; less thing load and such. I'm using the computer at one of my university's library, and it's not slow. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] 12:28, 24 February 2009 (EST)

Hi, I think that you have to say something about [[Wikia:Forum:Changes to the Create Wiki process]] on [[:category:Wikia]]. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] 22:23, 25 March 2009 (EDT)

[[:Category:SpamFighting]]

 

Dear Proxima Centauri,  Thank you for fighting spam.  I am mystified at something I see in the Recent changes:

As far as I can tell from [[Special:Contributions/]], this user has edited 2 pages, and I don't see any "links to external sites" in those edits.  While I am in favor of blocking people "Spamming links to external sites", I fail to see how blocking people who don't do that accomplishes that goal.  Therefore I unblocked this user.  Please tell me if I am making a horrible mistake :-).  --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 08:49, 8 June 2009 (EDT)

Why did you think [https://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=WikiSynergy&oldid=68093 this?]  It is not true, but I am very interested to know why you thought it.  I once tried to get a [[username]] on [[Conservapedia]], and I won't go near the place again, though they are welcome to bring their controversies to WikiSynergy. [[User talk:Purple Scissor|Purple Scissor]] 03:32, 25 July 2009 (EDT)

:[[A Storehouse of Knowledge]] was started by disatisfied Conservapedians so I thought the same aplied to [[WikiSynergy]], also [[RationalWiki]] had dscovered WikiSynergy and they study Conservapedia diligently so I thought they had found WikiSynergy through their Conservapedia contacts.  I changed this the second time I edited the entry. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 11:10, 25 July 2009 (EDT)

::I see.  Actually, it is more accurate to say that it was started originally as a reaction to radical skepticism takeover of [[English Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] articles.  [[RationalWiki]] came across us at the [[SCEPCOP]] forum. Thanks for putting the page up (: [[User talk:Purple Scissor|Purple Scissor]] 16:55, 25 July 2009 (EDT)

::Check this out [http://WikiSynergy.com/wiki/WikiSynergy:To-do_list], see what you think we ought to do. [[User talk:Purple Scissor|Purple Scissor]] 02:25, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

I've created {{Template:Welcome}}

which is adapted from [[Liberapedia]]  Is it OK for this Wiki? [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 09:20, 8 August 2009 (EDT)

:I also suggest the deletion of the image '''Image:2008Jul-ceiling-fan.jpg''' as it appears to be copyrighted material (taken from the page http://ramblings-from-early-retirement.blogspot.com/ --[[User:Spud Gun|<b><FONT COLOR="#8B3A3A">Carl McBride</FONT></b>]] ([[User talk:Spud Gun|talk]]) 11:11, 19 August 2009 (EDT)

:::I [https://WikiIndex.org/Special:Log/delete deleted] the talkpage of Carl McBride and restored only reasonable edits because I didn't think he'd want that stuff on his talk page or in his talk page history. I tried to delete an edit by Snuffeluppergus who was also a troll, perhaps the computer didn't delete that properly and attributed it to the wrong user. I'll delete and restore again. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 06:36, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

:::I haven't looked at the evidence but from what little I know of {{U|DavidCary}}, he seems to be a sensible person. But as I have said before, it doesn't seem that editors and [[sysop]]s have any instructions to go by. Two sysops didn't really know what to expect of the [[owner]]s until there was a conflict. One of them says they are retiring now, and now it seems you may loose another. This may have been prevented if they had some instructions from the beginning. Blocks that are now apparently deemed illegitimate, may have been prevented, if there were rules. Actually I'm not sure when DavidCary's the block policy proposal came out in relation to this, but that is a great idea. I would suggest moving it right to the policy page. Even a half-baked policy is better than no policy. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:49, 5 September 2009 (EDT)  

:::If the ability to oversight could be removed, I would recommend that in Proxima's case, for the time being, especially if the other sysops can't even see what is going on. But I don't know if she wants the job anymore, anyway. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:49, 5 September 2009 (EDT)

:You have a conflict of interest. You are spamming your wiki. However, most people are hanging out at Bob's place, not yours. Wonder why? [[Special:Contributions/65.60.53.250|65.60.53.250]] 15:57, 23 August 2009 (EDT)
