�03[14:47] * Set by FooBarMartijn!d4c6aed88d@wikipedia/Martijn-Hoekstra on Tue Dec 06 14:26:38
[14:47] #wikipedia-en url is http://en.wikipedia.org/
[14:49] <FooBarMartijn> well, they have a form of conflict of interest. If that's a bad thing in this case is up for debate I guess
[14:49] <nemo> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Paid_editing_%28policy%29#Who_is_not_a_paid_editor.3F
[14:49] <FooBarMartijn> and would probably depend on the edits at hand too
[14:49] <nemo> might fall under "summer intern" :-p
[14:50] <nemo> FooBarMartijn: does not fall under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Financial IMO at least from (1) and (2)...
[14:50] <nemo> and isn't like we really cared what they wrote. we were mostly asking for aggregating technical info
�03[14:51] * LikeLakers2-1 (~LikeLaker@wikipedia/LikeLakers2) has joined #wikipedia-en
[14:51] <WilliamH_UK> the real reason they were blocked though would have been the username
[14:51] <nemo> probably :)
[14:51] <WilliamH_UK> a group account name editing in the area relating to the name is pretty much grounds for an instant block
[14:52] <nemo> I guessed that after I clicked through and saw the account was blocked
�03[14:52] * Lubaf (~chatzilla@c-67-188-188-70.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #wikipedia-en
[14:52] <nemo> http://osdir.com/ml/sympy/2011-11/msg00359.html another org w/ similar task looks like
[14:53] <nemo> http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Task_ideas_for_Google_Code-in and this one has a ton of wikipedia tasks :)
[14:53] <WilliamH_UK> ah I see
[14:54] <FooBarMartijn> something like updating an outdated piece of info (like a current version or something) is never a problem in any case. As it gets more involved, it usually becomes more difficult to remain completely neutral
[14:54] <nemo> oh well. guess I'll start w/ trying to contact them
[14:54] <nemo> if I can't though, what's the next step?
[14:55] <nemo> (contact them to change their account name)
�03[14:55] * MasterofPuppets (~MasterofP@mail.bcsmb.ca) has joined #wikipedia-en

[14:56] <WilliamH_UK> hi m.o.p
[14:56] <FooBarMartijn> if I read the second link by the way (the aperium stuff), asignments like this are never problematic:
[14:56] <FooBarMartijn> Bulgarian WP has 107,355 articles, Macedonian WP has 42,112, less than half as many. Translate some articles from Bulgarian Wikipedia to Macedonian Wikipedia using Apertium, and then postedit them. Explain to the local Wikipedia community what you are doing beforehand.
[14:56] <FooBarMartijn> er, let's see
[14:56] <nemo> oh
[14:56] <nemo> FooBarMartijn: that one I might have misfound :)
�03[14:56] * Steven_Zhang (~Steven_Zh@Wikipedia/Steven-Zhang) has joined #wikipedia-en
[14:56] <nemo> FooBarMartijn: sympy is closer to what we asked though
[14:57] <nemo> FooBarMartijn: I think we got the idea for the task from the Wesnoth guys - I'd have to ask koda
[14:57] <Steven_Zhang> Ugh, morning..zzzzz
�06[14:57] * Steven_Zhang is still half asleep
[14:57] <Steven_Zhang> more like 3/4 sleep
[14:57] <Steven_Zhang> nemo: are you a clownfish? :D
[14:57] <nemo> perhaps there's even a way to google all GCI tasks in past few years for references to wikipedia
[14:57] <methecooldude> Huge success! ClueBot should be up a day earler then annoucned :D
[14:57] <FooBarMartijn> so, if you have any means to contact him, the namechange is the first thing
[14:57] <FooBarMartijn> if you can't contact him
[14:57] <FooBarMartijn> er
[14:57] <nemo> Steven_Zhang: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vingt_mille_lieues_sous_les_mers
[14:57] <Steven_Zhang> lol..this wouldn't have happened if they paid their server fees :P
[14:57] <FooBarMartijn> ideas?
�06[14:58] * Steven_Zhang no speak francais ;)
�06[14:58] * Steven_Zhang wonders why 28bytes was looking at my rfa...
[14:59] <FooBarMartijn> well, let's cross that bridge when we get there :/
[15:00] <nemo> hehe
�03[15:00] * derpyfoo (~no@unaffiliated/d-e-r-p/x-3722634) has joined #wikipedia-en
[15:00] <nemo> alllrighty
[15:00] <methecooldude> Steven_Zhang: I pay for the server :P
[15:00] <derpyfoo> can i waste its resources?
[15:00] <FooBarMartijn> the thing is: if you can't contact him, we can't contact him either
�03[15:00] * aude|eating is now known as aude
[15:01] <nemo> FooBarMartijn: well. I can always ask google for the info I guess :) they might be uncomfortable w/ that due to student privacy
[15:01] <FooBarMartijn> you could drop a note on his talkpage, which he would get a notification off in case he logs in under that account again
[15:01] <nemo> (like phone number or something)
[15:01] <nemo> FooBarMartijn: oh. I'm pretty sure he has no intent to ever use that account again, or he would have used another name
[15:01] <FooBarMartijn> yeah, that's what I was thinking too
[15:01] <FooBarMartijn> but it was the only other possibility I could think off
[15:02] <WilliamH_UK> he should state that it was his though
[15:02] <WilliamH_UK> he should disclose it
[15:02] <nemo> WilliamH_UK: right. we are more discussing what I can do if I can't find him again
[15:02] <nemo> which I'm going to try to do
[15:03] <Steven_Zhang> methecooldude: or don't pay for the server :P
�03[15:03] * bep\afk is now known as bep

[15:07] <Steven_Zhang> thats what I do :P

[15:09] <Steven_Zhang> WilliamH_UK: how many pages on your watchlist?
[15:09] <WilliamH_UK> bout 150 odd

[15:11] <Steven_Zhang> 150,000?
[15:11] <Steven_Zhang> or literally 150
[15:11] <WilliamH_UK> literally 150
[15:11] <WilliamH_UK> why
[15:11] <Steven_Zhang> You have 2,859 pages on your watchlist (excluding talk pages).
[15:11] <Steven_Zhang> :D
[15:11] <WilliamH_UK> to be honest, you could probabyl lose a ton of them
[15:11] <Steven_Zhang> thats why i see everything :P
[15:12] <Steven_Zhang> probably :P
[15:12] <{Soap}> I used to have about that many but I cut it down drastically
[15:12] <WilliamH_UK> i tend to manage my watchlist a lot
[15:12] <{Soap}> I still have more than WilliamH though ... 372 currently

[15:14] <Steven_Zhang> your watchlist cannot be 0
[15:14] <Steven_Zhang> :P
[15:14] <Steven_Zhang> yeah you at least must have your userpage on your watchlist
[15:14] <Steven_Zhang> i bloody hate these shitty train seats
[15:14] <Steven_Zhang> they're so hard...my butt hurts
[15:15] <{Soap}> well, I think it's technically possible to remove your own userpage
[15:15] <mailer_diablo> well u haven't tried those here
[15:15] <mailer_diablo> it so hot, u'll feel that its on fire
[15:15] <{Soap}> you'll still get the orange bar though

[15:26] <nemo> FooBarMartijn: luckily he'd made an account on our website for editing our documentation wiki too, so I had a gmail address. Fired off select quotes from this channel. We'll see what happens
[15:27] <FooBarMartijn> ah, good to hear :)
[15:27] <WilliamH_UK> good stuff
[15:28] <nemo> looks like interestingly he signed up for sympy work too, so perhaps he's right now creating a sympy user as well - I told him he miiiight want to reuse the account if he can get it renamed ;)

[15:53] <Steven_Zhang> Can't believe our country is run by a ranga

[15:54] <nemo> The one that seemed odd to me, for example, was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_chart vs http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_chart where the french one adds a colour gradient imposing a left/right axis
[15:54] <nemo> the comments said it was based on some idea by some wikipedian

[17:31] <PeterSymonds> You won't find it very convenient where I live.
[17:32] <Peter-C> I already have a 90% guarentee from someone else, I just need a backup person
[17:32] <WilliamH_UK> or me
[17:32] <Steven_Zhang> {Soap}: me?
[17:32] <{Soap}> yeah
[17:32] <Peter-C> All brits live in London....
[17:32] <WilliamH_UK> {{declined}}
[17:32] <PeterSymonds> Since I live in a village, in the middle of nowhere, six miles away from the nearest railway station.
[17:32] <Peter-C> O_o
[17:32] <WilliamH_UK> my village has no pub
[17:32] <WilliamH_UK> no shop
[17:32] <PeterSymonds> Oh I've got a pub.
[17:32] <PeterSymonds> So I'm alright.
[17:32] <Steven_Zhang> {Soap}: Why?
[17:32] <PeterSymonds> Nothing else though.
�06[17:32] * WilliamH_UK shakes his fist
[17:33] <Peter-C> How far away from London
[17:33] <Steven_Zhang> No pub? how do you survive?
[17:33] <PeterSymonds> Import.
[17:33] <MuZemike> By God, no pubs. The horror.
[17:33] <WilliamH_UK> well I went to the [[Oktoberfest]] in September
�06[17:33] * WilliamH_UK realises the irony of saying that
[17:33] <PeterSymonds> Heh.
[17:33] <kiminewt> Is it because of the war, WilliamH_UK?
[17:33] <WilliamH_UK> enjoyed lots of lager
[17:33] <WilliamH_UK> ate lots of pretzels
[17:33] <kiminewt> pretzels?!
[17:33] <MuZemike> Don't mention the war!
[17:34] <kiminewt> But thsoe are american!

[17:35] <Steven_Zhang> yummeh
[17:35] <WilliamH_UK> pretzels are a wonderful thing
[17:35] <MuZemike> Sounds like something from Wisconsin.
[17:35] <WilliamH_UK> they were invented completely by accident
[17:35] <WilliamH_UK> they were originally sweet
[17:35] <MuZemike> Beer, check. Cheese, check. Pretzels, check.
[17:35] <{Soap}> Steve: I think youd be good
[17:35] <WilliamH_UK> but King Ludwig's bakers
[17:36] <WilliamH_UK> they put the pastries in the oven without removing the cleaning saline solution
[17:36] <WilliamH_UK> and the King said
[17:36] <Steven_Zhang> {Soap}: I think so too...thats kinda why I ran for RFA :P

�06[17:39] * Steven_Zhang was told by a crat that it didnt matter, 70% and under was no return
[17:39] <Steven_Zhang> thats why i withdrew

[17:39] <Steven_Zhang> that and because i realised I suck at content
[17:39] <Steven_Zhang> WilliamH_UK: yeah
[17:39] <PeterSymonds> Was it Andrevan. ;-p
[17:39] <Steven_Zhang> no
[17:40] <Steven_Zhang> Maxim.
[17:40] <WilliamH_UK> I'm not aksing you to name them
[17:40] <WilliamH_UK> .....nevermind
[17:40] <PeterSymonds> Well it doesn't matter anyway.
[17:40] <Steven_Zhang> i was asked if i wanted a crat chat, was told it'd probably have to be 70%+
[17:40] <Demiurge1000> Someone named a machine gun after Maxim I think
[17:40] <WilliamH_UK> they did
[17:40] <Steven_Zhang> as it looked likely to go sub-70% i withdrew, saw no point.
[17:40] <Steven_Zhang> etc
[17:40] <Demiurge1000> Quite silly looking, too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxim_gun

[18:46] <ryanag> it's snowing snowflakes. .1"

[18:46] <barts1a> If it is snowing then usually snowflakes are involved
[18:46] <Osarius|Around> Nothing better than Wikiediting and playing OpenTTD for a week :)
[18:47] <barts1a> otherwise it would be hail or rain

[19:20] <kim_bruning> shoot, that's actually a good question for the WMUK folks: is it possible to do electronic bank transfers to/from uk from the continent (and do they charge you for it?)
�06[19:20] * kim_bruning hasn't tried recently.
[19:20] <tashir> someone in UK call their 24/7 number 020 3384 2356 and ask if they can take a credit card payment or if we have to wait until 9am
[19:20] <methecooldude> kim_bruning: My bank (Santander) would charge
[19:20] <tashir> I'm in Colorado
[19:20] <kim_bruning> ah, shoot
[19:21] <methecooldude> tashir: They will, my mate has the same server as me and he did it a couple of nights ago
[19:21] <tashir> methecooldude: is there an account number or ID?
[19:21] <kim_bruning> There goes the plans of cheaply reimbursing anyone
[19:21] <kim_bruning> methecooldude, in fact, how about transferring the entire thing to WMUK, and let them handle the bills?
[19:21] <methecooldude> tashir: Yes, that's why I suggest Skype... I have a Skype subscription
[19:21] <tashir> tommorris: you want to spring for the 17 pounds and sort it out later?
[19:21] <kim_bruning> methecooldude, or transfer your bot to a WM server in general?
[19:21] <tommorris> yep, can do
[19:21] <kim_bruning> I think any of us can :-)
[19:21] <methecooldude> kim_bruning: It's Cobi's bot, not mine (as I keep reminding people)
[19:22] <tashir> methecooldude: what's the account id or number?
[19:22] <tashir> to pay?
[19:22] <kim_bruning> methecooldude, oh sorry?

[19:22] <tommorris> most bank transfers are pretty much instant these days?
[19:22] <methecooldude> For bank transfers yes
[19:23] <methecooldude> Depends how the back do it
[19:23] <methecooldude> bank*
[19:23] <tashir> because of the ISP, not the transfer, per their payment page
[19:23] <tashir> maybe they wait to make sure it doesn't get fraud-reversed
[19:23] <kim_bruning> tashir, look, if we call them up and say this is for wikipedia, they'll prolly be nice to us. :-)
[19:23] <tommorris> ah okay, then it's too late for me to call people and sort credit card stuff out
[19:23] <methecooldude> Normally if it's the same bank (I.E. Santander to Santander), then it may be instant. Not so must for cross-bank transfers
[19:23] <Olipro> you're underestimating OVH if you think that
[19:24] <kim_bruning> Olipro, OVH sucks?
[19:24] <sonia> if one's bank sucks that much, why not, er, change banks?
[19:24] <kim_bruning> anyone consider moving the account to Hezner.de then?
[19:24] <tashir> well the point is that they take credit cards 24/7 at 020 3384 2356 and there's no transfer fee for that
[19:24] <kim_bruning> tashir, oh, ok, so let's just do that
[19:25] <tashir> kim_bruning: are you in UK?
[19:25] <kim_bruning> well, tom maybe do that, since he's closest, and probably knows how to deal with .uk folks

[20:32] <barts1a> Per WP:5P "
[20:32] <barts1a> Wikipedia does not have firm rules.
[20:32] <barts1a> Rules in Wikipedia are not carved in stone, and their wording and interpretation are likely to change over time. The principles and spirit of Wikipedia's rules matter more than their literal wording, and sometimes improving Wikipedia requires making an exception to a rule.

[20:33] <kim_bruning> barts1a, my fault, I kept forward verting it, until it got stuck

[20:34] <tommorris> kim_bruning: the only problem is nobody really gets patterns. Fuck, I'm a programmer and I find patterns a ghastly concept.

[20:35] <SigmaWP> O.o
[20:36] <{Soap}> Im not sure there's a way to get a sigma character when not typing Greek
[20:36] <SigmaWP> But it's an alt code
[20:36] <SigmaWP> Hm.
[20:36] <TParis> Σ works for me
�06[20:36] * SigmaWP goes off to create {{sigma}} for {Soap}
[20:36] <kim_bruning> tommorris, even so, there's a lot of useful community patterns over on c2 and meatball
�06[20:36] * la_pianista waddles away at last, still a touch confused.
[20:36] <{Soap}> it seems to depend on what program Im in
[20:36] <{Soap}> it works on the browser, just not IRC
[20:36] <thingg> If I need special chars I go to google translate and type random gibberish
[20:36] <sonia> how do I type a sigma o_O
[20:36] <sonia> like I tried the alt thing, nothign shows up
[20:37] <tommorris> kim_bruning: sure, and a few on Meta. the problem is for something WP's size, the patterns are deeply embedded and engrained.
[20:37] <SigmaWP> sonia: Depends on OS
[20:37] <barts1a> On windows here
[20:37] <tommorris> kim_bruning: so, something like reliable sources doesn't make sense outside of something Wikipedia-sized
[20:37] <SigmaWP> But look! https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:%CE%A3&action=edit§ion=new

[20:54] <tashir> SigmaWP: the one paragraph Britannica article on coal balls comes up top in https://www.google.com/search?q=coal+ball and Wikipedia is 5th, or 6th if you count the images

[20:54] <tommorris> kim_bruning: yeah, that's fairly widely held.
[20:55] <kim_bruning> there's more people who think that?

[20:55] <tommorris> kim_bruning: I've seen it bandied around a bit.
[20:55] <TParis> Does anyone here know how the brain and moods work and how hormones affect them? Specifically, behavioral conditioning?
[20:55] <sonia> um
[20:55] <sonia> that's a bit broad to be askign on IRC
