Revision as of 21:43, 15 March 2008
Very nice logo, reminds me of somewhere. I'd stick around but I'm due to screw up another surgery. PALMD 08:24, 27 December 2007 (EST)
- Yes, there is a certain familiarity. ...--Bobbing up 08:39, 27 December 2007 (EST)
- Might I suggest the Liberapedia RW logo?--Bobbing up 10:06, 27 December 2007 (EST)
I second that choice. Can we haz permission? Human 16:19, 27 December 2007 (EST)
- Kewl. Logo too wide for the space it has to fit in. Maybe crop off the outer brackets? Human 19:39, 29 December 2007 (EST)

Purpose
I have copied and edited some material about the purpose of this Wiki from a post at RationalWiki.--Bobbing up 10:18, 27 December 2007 (EST)
Hosting
Maybe the kind folks at RW would offer to host this metawiki if someone buys the domain name? Human 16:19, 27 December 2007 (EST)
Am I the only one ...
Who realises that the label is mispelt? Or is that a joke? --82.44.64.173
- I think its a joke. I think. --72.232.23.238 21:38, 27 December 2007 (EST)
install pleez?
I don't know who runs this thing, but can they install the "choose/option" tag things somehow? Human 19:38, 29 December 2007 (EST)
Godamn
I was gonna wandalize this, but I just noticed the good guys own it. Helios 01:42, 2 January 2008 (EST)
Today's activities
I think we need a separate article and not just something on Susan's page. But things seem to be still going down and it's hard to know where its going to go. So what angle? And what name? I wouldn't want to use "Susan's departure" in the hope she will come back. We've already got one "fuck" article so I'm not sure about that either. But anything written now might be out of date by this evening anyway.--User:FalseFlagFlag Me 13:45, 14 March 2008 (EST)
- I, too, am at a loss what to name it. In her article I resorted to snark and called it "SusanG takes her ball and goes home". --Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 14:07, 14 March 2008 (EST)
- I think this had died the death now, but the debate went in so many y directions that it's hard to define the damn thing in a punchy way. Any ideas Hans?--User:FalseFlagFlag Me 14:42, 15 March 2008 (EST)
- By the way, it went on longer than 90 mins. It started at talk:main with Marcus Cicero's complaint about the "talk to a Mormon" according to item, which very early on had a brief pissing match between him and Susan. My/human's "lecture" came many hours later, and I think by then she was already doing some auto-dismantling.

New Main Page
I made a new main page. User:Ryan/Main Page. Hope you like --Ryan 00:55, 15 March 2008 (EST)
- So you did. A few tweaks and I think it is ready for pasting in. Balance the two sides, and perhaps start WIGO RW? humanbe in 01:02, 15 March 2008 (EST)
- While I have not always (or perhaps ever) been a fan of Ryan's, I really want to say that his work on the mainpage is absolutely fantastic. Well done Ryan, and thank you for your efforts. That said, I'm almost embarrassed to make a suggestion. What about repeating the RWW signature orange color somewhere in the mainpage?--User:FalseFlagFlag Me 14:10, 15 March 2008 (EST)
Ah, ah, ah. Why does this look like a real wiki now. 76.10.172.106 14:37, 15 March 2008 (EST)
Um that was my fault. I can revert if you want. 76.10.172.106 14:54, 15 March 2008 (EST)
- It's ok, I already did, and tried out what I was doing. Do you folks think the header boxes should be orange, too? humanbe in 14:57, 15 March 2008 (EST)
- Well I liked it (drew attention to the headers and complimented to borders). But wtv. 76.10.172.106 15:00, 15 March 2008 (EST)
- First off, I'd like to mention that this is the
thirdfourth edit conflict I've had this afternoon Weird on RWW. Anyway. Yes, the idea is good, but (and I'm letting my feminine side out here) are there any "pastel" oranges we can use for the header boxes?--User:FalseFlagFlag Me 15:04, 15 March 2008 (EST)

Adminship
Make me an admin! No? Ok... MarcusCicero 14:06, 15 March 2008 (EST)
- You really need to petition User:Admin about that. Initially he promoted promoted RW sysops but more recently people who have made significant contributions to the site. Perhaps you should work at the site for a while longer before making your request to him? On the other hand "Admin" lives in a cloud of secrecy and does not explain his decisions, so your appeal may prosper anyway.--User:FalseFlagFlag Me 14:27, 15 March 2008 (EST)
