Hmm... so I'm confused. How many different Franks are we working with Frankiswaking, Franklin, Frankiswaiting and yet another? (Jay's head starts spinning.) Was the Frank in CIW known as anything other than Frank? If so, it would be good to say so in the name of his article. So, for example, maybe Frank (schizophrenic) or Frank (CIW character) or something like that. Then, with this many Frank's, we should probably make the Frank page into a disambiguation.--JayHenry 10:01, 11 January 2007 (CST)

Yeah, in wikis a disambiguation page is exactly what you described, a short page that gives brief descriptions of the different Franks and links to the full article. I started one at Frank.--JayHenry 10:37, 11 January 2007 (CST)

Hehehe, Ms Kelly is probably scrambling to put together a video on safe sex practices! OwenIsCool 20:21, 15 January 2007 (CST)

Redirects

I posted a reply to your Moonchild speculation query in the Talk:Aleister Crowley page. I hope that's useful, if not, just let me know! OwenIsCool 23:39, 15 January 2007 (CST)

Hi LG422,

I think it's great that your adding a lot of info to the wiki that other people haven't bothered to post, such as backgrounds of notable fans and interesting locations from LG15 and spinoffs. However, a while back we started trying to cut down on very short articles, mostly because it's easier for users not to have to click on a link just to read a sentence or two about a tangential subject. So going forward, before creating new pages, would you consider including their information wherever it is relevant? (i.e. include some background on the user if they are mentioned in CiW as having done something meaningful.) If there's more than a couple of sentences to say about a particular subject, then it should be included in a separate article.

I was just bitching to a buddy of mine how little folks know or care about how we got where we are. I've started 3 zillion and 5 articles and I am bumping them up as they go along in other words..some are rather short right now..but TRUST me..I dont say hello in less than 500 words...I am just ADD as hell. . Actually most of these sleuths have done videos. Some fall into the category of just posting slueth info..others do some fan fiction. I am of the opinion..if they have a video..it gets a page..unless its a straight response video. I can always combine later. I am trying to watch the pages I am starting and am mindful of bringing them back in down the road..right now..there is just SOOOOO MUCH to the story that is lacking. What we have to remember is that WE are the story in the forums..if we spent weeks chatting about something..thats something that should be chronicled. I am gonna start whoring into my old forum posts of various subjects if they still exist..they are fun..hah.As to the places..I don't see myself doing too many pages like the Azusa page..it just hit me..thats a pretty damn important place and there have been a TON of people that filmed there. As is the playground. Usually you may see some new article from me with a few lines and think..wow..what a waste of space..but often I have a lot more in my gourd for that page. Also..I am LINK HAPPY as hell..but what I usually will do is link out to a regular wikipage. Just bear with me for a bit..I got a ton of stuff rattling around this damn noggin of mine and I am just organizing it as I remember...fillin in details later. Anyway...I talk too much..SEE! --LordGreystoke422 00:18, 17 January 2007 (CST)

I know you mean the best and I like that you bring a fresh perspective. Since a wiki is very different from a forum (well, you knew that, duh) I just wanted to help you make your contributions in an appropriate way. I'm glad you're aware that the pages are a bit lacking in content for now, and I understand they can take a while to develop. Keep at it and let me know if I can be of any assistance!

Thanks

Hey LG422,
Thanks for your help reverting all the vandalism yesterday. I know you already have a lot on your plate with your videos, not to mention saving all those poorly written articles you've modified, so it was nice of you to still take the time to go through the Recent Changes and notice that other stuff. Just wanted to say it was appreciated. As always, let me know if I can be of any help with your articles.
Best,

101 Damnvandals

Thanks so much for your help with that! It seems like the moment I leave the wiki and go get other stuff done, this kinda crap has to happen. The fastest way you can revert is outlined here: LGPedia:Reverting vandalism. You're right though, sysops have a "rollback" feature that basically is like a one-click revert. After realizing everything that person did the same to every page, I checked their user contributions and clicked each one that was left. There was no "rollback" link next to the ones you fixed. What it's also really helpful for is knowing that we reverted everything they did. If I look at their contribs, I see no rollback links anymore. Victory! OwenIsCool 20:05, 29 January 2007 (CST)

About your comments on the LL page

LG422, let me be blunt with you for once. Maybe it's the only way you understand things. You (yes, you) said LG15 was supposed to be all about fanfiction and you wanted to see more support, and how these series were each a chance to support fanfiction, not brush it aside. I cannot believe how unsupportive you have been of the LL series, regardless of how self-promoting you think the article is. Never even mind the fact that you've been working on your series' article to your heart's content--nominate it for an FA if you feel like it. Maybe a free publicity won't sound so bad if it's for you. No one will be as "blunt" (HA, try crude, or maybe deprecating) as you have been to these people. I cannot believe how you will flip out over a YourMomIsSmarmy page not getting enough so-called support, and then waltz over there and bash those people and the series that they like. Did it ever even occur to you that you could provide some kind of useful bluntness that would have actually made the article acceptable to you and more feature-worthy? Or heck, say you prefer GC and get on with it--without giving them all that other crap.
You're a good editor: you know a lot about the series, you're committed, and you actually care enough to take the time to revert vandalism. However, your people skills are wayyyy lacking over here. I know it's hard with the whole "people are planning my death" scenario, but you sound more like a middle-school kid who still thinks it takes mad skillz to be rude.

Nice vid!

Hi LordGreystoke422,
I thought your recruitment video was very good! You make a strong point that we need more people to help us against the Operators who are suppressing information. I think many will heed your call... Also thanks for taking the time to reply to my message earlier. Like I had said, you're a good editor, and things like this recruitment video show you have a lot of initiative (well, you have like 50 others so I'm just restating the obvious). I was just worried that some users could feel a little bullied around if you were kinda rough with them and they didn't really know you. After all, you're trying to recruit people, not scare them off... but oh wait, I see what you're doing! You only want the strongest on our side in our fight against the Operators...  ;)
Take care,
