Revision as of 20:33, 13 December 2006

Thanks for contributing to the LGpedia.. Thank you especially for working on the Creators' pet project: The Story So Far... If you take issue with the credibility of some of the information provided in the article, you can edit in references and citations to more hard facts if you prefer. If you can't verify a particular piece of information, question the contributor on their talk page, or the talk page for The Story So Far... What elements of the article do currently find questionable? -- Twjaniak 22:09, 18 November 2006 (PST)

Hi, thanks for writing back. I was referring to the Watcher article, not The Story So Far.... I'm sorry if I said something confusing or posted the wrong link somehow. I only started watching the series recently, so I've been trying my hand just updating more recent articles and changing minor things on old articles. There are several references on the Watcher article to the Deacons (commenter) posts and to external websites of questionable veracity (in particular a Geocities website that looks really sketch, for lack of a better word). I moved those under a heading called "Unofficial fan research", but I'm wary of deleting anything because, well, who am I to start junking what other people write? I'm a little worried that the article is starting to become controversial because another anonymous user made some wise-cracking edits because they were skeptical about the content. I'm skeptical about some stuff too, but I was trying to preserve neutrality, so I gave everything a fair chance... but I don't know where to go from here... Thanks for your help =) OwenIsCool 23:24, 21 November 2006 (CST)

Re: Gemma Note

Alright, that was merely confusion on my part. I thought corner booth meant the corner booth at a bathroom, it could also mean the corner booth near the bathroom in the restaurant. Nice catch. - FireInside 22:19, 28 November 2006 (CST)

tag page

Lonelygirl15 (tag) is a completely unnecessary page. While I think every tag should have a page, I don't think it needs a page separate for the tag itself. --Brucker 15:58, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Hey Owen

Thanks for all the good edits. It's always refreshing to have another good editor on the LGpedia. Big thanks for the heads up about the Phorum 3 -- so weird that such a random page would get hit.--JayHenry 11:20, 1 December 2006 (CST)

Thanks for your help on the vandalism stuff. To tell you the truth, when I see spam vandalism by an unregistered user, I check their contribution history, and if it's the first time they've put in an edit, I assume it's probably a post-and-run spammer who won't be back and don't bother giving them a warning. I don't think anything's likely to happen beyond a warning unless they are a repeat offender. If they are a genuine troublemaker, they'd probably get blocked from editing. --Brucker 12:39, 1 December 2006 (CST)

The Deacons (commenter)

Actually that was an error by me. I was trying to add the template with the Bree's religion index to the page. However it caused a conflict with the graphic on the page so i deleted it again. In that process I guess i was sloppy and took out the header by mistake. It certainly was not a deliberate attempt to make the Deacons more genuine.........infact their existence creates a lot of extra research i could live without.....but they are just so well informed.--modelmotion 02:51, 2 December 2006 (CST)

A word about templates

I like the fact that you edited all the userboxes into a category, but in the future, keep in mind that those extra line breaks that appear outside of the <noinclude> tags will show up on the pages where the template is used. --Brucker 14:20, 4 December 2006 (CST)

Don't worry too much about it, the wiki is new, even the admins are on a bit of a learning curve. The above was just an FYI. --Brucker 11:04, 5 December 2006 (CST)

Owensad

Thanks for fixing the size. It's pretty easy to make it a userbox -- just use the 'move' tab and move it to Template:Userbox Owensad and then add it to the list on the Userbox talk page: Template_talk:Userbox. That's all there is to it!--JayHenry 08:50, 6 December 2006 (CST)

Lonelycrack Template

Ooh, looking forward to this one! --Treefunk 00:48, 8 December 2006 (CST)

Ta-DA! I knew I just had to come up with a good one eventually! Hope you enjoy! OwenIsCool 00:50, 8 December 2006 (CST)

Contact me

Hey, OwenIsCool, Please contact me at todd@lonelygirl15.com. I have something I would like to discuss with you. -- Twjaniak 09:31, 9 December 2006 (CST)

Thanks

Thanks... --Demosthenesdown 00:15, 10 December 2006 (CST)

cite.php

read your to-do list item about cite.php -- TWJaniak has that on his to-do list. I think he's a little swamped right now as it appears JSmith has left the LGPedia web staff.--JayHenry 13:59, 10 December 2006 (CST)

Awesome, thanks for noticing and letting me know! Naturally, it's not an urgent thing, so I understand he has other stuff to worry about right now. I'll keep a lookout for when this is available, thx! OwenIsCool 14:22, 10 December 2006 (CST)

Music project

Nice looking table. If you would like, I'd be willing to collaborate on this project--I could work on the rows from the bottom up and meet you midway. But I should also ask first--where are you planning on getting the listening links? --Treefunk 19:21, 10 December 2006 (CST)

I like the suggestion to just go with the webpage column--that would also keep people from being frustrated by COPYRIGHTED! entries. I also like the template idea; a template would be ideal, albeit hard to initially design ;) I'll play around a bit with it. --Treefunk 19:43, 10 December 2006 (CST)
On second thought, anyone updating a complete list of the LG15 music would have to actually go into the template code anyway--because they wouldn't be making an individual music entry. Perhaps we should just stick with the table. --Treefunk 19:51, 10 December 2006 (CST)
Here's my very slightly altered version of your table--I mostly just simplified the code to make it more accessible to other people wanting to update it. I'll start working on compiling the most recent videos' music into this format so we can eventually plug it into the table, unless you've figured out a way to manage this using a template. --Treefunk 19:59, 10 December 2006 (CST)
Just a thought: they got most of the music from either MySpace or CCMixter.org. Best places to start. On CCMixter the copyright status is always pretty clear, I think. Also, I'm fairly certain that after My Lazy Eye none of the music is copyrighted.--JayHenry 20:13, 10 December 2006 (CST)
Soundtrack
Vlog Song Artist Album Website
First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails Crazy Gnarls Barkley not sure Copyrighted
Purple Monkey Son Soo (Treatment) Victor not sure here

I've been playing around with this, borrowing code from the main page, and came up with a new format. I didn't include the album list because I was worried that too few of the songs used would actually be compiled in an album, but I could be wrong, of course. I also combined "songs" and "listen" into one category, as well as "artist" and "webpage." With this format, I think all we would have to do is come up with the links and then list the information under each column. Let me know what you think! --Treefunk 03:09, 11 December 2006 (CST)

My thought on where to put this: I would be fine with just replacing the current information that exists on the LG15 Music page. There is good information there right now, but it would basically be covered in a much more parsimonious form via the website links. --Treefunk 13:10, 11 December 2006 (CST)

Song

Artist

OIC, just a heads up... at least on my browser the videos don't line up with the bands and music. It seems to me that a table might end up being simpler than the three parallel columns.--JayHenry 22:38, 12 December 2006 (CST)
Uh-oh, good catch. So I've been using my browser full screen the whole time and what you said made me think... what if I don't fullscreen... and they don't align then either =( Maybe I'll have to work on the table after all. OwenIsCool 23:06, 12 December 2006 (CST)
Oh yuck, now with the longer video titles, it doesn't align on my browser either. Oh well, the hard part is getting the information together... moving it over to a table won't be that much work. And the above msg was way incoherent. OwenIsCool 02:06, 13 December 2006 (CST)
