Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane/All of GMail Conversations with April

Peter Fargo June 8

10:45 PM Peter: nice initiative on the Oficial Comminques page
  *Communiques
 me: Thank you.
10:49 PM btw, I looked up his undername in my database
  it came up as bradly
 Peter: his e-mail is signed "Bradley"
 me: that's why I knew ahead of time
 Peter: your database?
 me: yes. my database.
 Peter: Well, that's interesting and all, but I'm sure you understand why I wanted to get some kind of official confirmation.
	32 minutes
11:22 PM me: I think we need a new image tag.
  something to do with official members uploading images if they do
 Peter: um.
11:23 PM me: {{actor image}}
  just doesn't cut it
 Peter: hrm.
  i don't see why that would be any different though. I mean, presumably they own the copyrights to photos of themselves, and can license them just the same as any other user
11:24 PM me: Would we mark it "{{BW exclusive}}
 Peter: ... but it wouldn't be. Unless they said so.
 me: no matter what it is
  umm
  tricky.
 Peter: i don't think there's a need.
11:25 PM me: http://www.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Template:Welcome_official
 Peter: if something like this comes up, we can figure out what to do then.
  yes, I saw - I like it.
 me: i worked on it more
  just need a quick view before I subst in brad's page
 Peter: okay, reading
11:26 PM i'm going to make a few edits
 me: k
  I was making one
  on spelling
  but go ahead first
11:30 PM Peter: okay, couple more things
  1.) I don't get what this sentence means: "This way our members can update that need changing, instead of putting this burden on you."
 me: if they make a change...
  like brad did
11:31 PM they should have to worry about going thorough the wiki to change all of the pages with the d
11:32 PM Peter: oh, I see.
11:36 PM That's my input. I strongly suggest that you ask a few other users before you make it final, though.

11:54 PM me: I wonder if Joe seen this yet
 Peter: which?
 me: brad
11:55 PM Peter: yes, I forwarded him my e-mail.

Peter Fargo April 27

6:56 AM me: Morn'
 Peter: ahoy
6:57 AM me: What is werid..
  no one has co mmeted ont he new design since we been working on it
  I guess once we finsh the portals
 Peter: well
  for me
 me: it can go live because no one seems to have any objectes
 Peter: I don't browse the wiki that way
  so it doesn't really matter all that much
6:58 AM but... I do have some pretty big difficulties with how they look, to be honest. I might propose another system.
  but I mean, I have a lot to do still - image tags for 1980, and um... another big writeup to make about an often misbehaving user.
  who shall remain nameless.
6:59 AM me: well... as I said... there has been a lack of comment so no one has really gave any indication of any real problems other than that people hate the idea except joe.
 Peter: I'll be sure to put my two cents in soon.
7:00 AM me: better be soon ;-)
  at the rate me and steel are going
7:01 AM there could be change of the guard without little notice. :)
 Peter: that would be unfortunate.
7:02 AM me: as I said.. without comments we would think everything is going ok.
7:03 AM Peter: true.
  as I always say, communication is important.
	20 minutes
7:23 AM me: I saw this Caprica (series);
  last night
7:24 AM Peter: yeah, it's still last night on this coast
  speakig of
  *speaking
7:25 AM me: it gives no date
  on a timeline
 Peter: ?
7:26 AM -50some years, they say
 me: no.. when it will start
 Peter: oh
  no idea

Peter Fargo May 15

10:29 PM me: With the Proposed Policy tag, people know it's being worked on and it's not offical
10:30 PM why is everything I create come under your creal secuinty?
 Peter: why is moving it to your user page, as joe suggested, cruel?
 me: I was even done with it.
 Peter: you can keep working on it
  I didn't delete it.
 me: That's why i didn not move it
  That is the lamest excuse ever.
10:31 PM people work on podcasts on the main podcast template
  er
  namesource
  and I guess people can't just woprk on the BW namespace anymore because it's just rude
 Peter: I'm not going to dignify this with a response. Read Joe's comments on the talk page here:
  http://www.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Shane/Policy
  if you still have a problem, bring it up with Joe
10:32 PM me: I have. And they were a suggestion. if he was to dictate that is should be worked ont he user subpgae while I was ediing it, not while I was done.
  it is best that you either move the current version of this page to your namespace under a subpage or bring this stuff up for discussion, as Peter suggests. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all
  peter suggests
  Not move it to your namespace.
10:33 PM Peter: You can always file an RFC against me if you feel horribly slighted.
