  1. <19:18:32> LiR And, Sims will be able to breastfeed babies
  2. <19:19:52> k6ka has had enough. He is organizing a riot in front of EA's offices, and asks The Sims Wiki for support.
  3. <19:20:57> lostlabyrinth yeah I heard about TS4 being shit
  4. <19:22:44> |<-- auror has left freenode (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
  5. <19:23:58> LiR question for you all... if you could promote one member of the wiki up to administrator, who would you promote?
  6. <19:24:02> LiR or whom?
  7. <19:24:51> lostlabyrinth to be brutally honest...I don't think anybody whose currently eligible is ready
  8. <19:25:10> lostlabyrinth but if I had to pick...I don't know
  9. <19:26:01> LiR I have a couple names in mind
  10. <19:27:09> lostlabyrinth then again I've been away for a while so I should probably abstain
  11. <19:27:27> MrC Is there a need for another Admin?
  12. <19:27:35> LiR yes and no
  13. <19:27:36> k6ka C.Syde65. Joey.eyeball. ThePeculiarMe. Just to name a few.
  14. <19:27:53> k6ka I think one administrator is enough... at least until TS4 comes out.
  15. <19:28:21> lostlabyrinth you can never have too many
  16. <19:28:44> LiR or at least, that's what was decided
  17. <19:28:52> k6ka true, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redundancy_is_good
  18. <19:29:07> LiR History lesson: TSW used to close and open requests pages frequently
  19. <19:29:22> LiR they would be closed when it was perceived that we had "enough" admins/bureacurats
  20. <19:29:27> LiR and re-opened if/when we no longer had enough
  21. <19:29:41> LiR of course "enough" is something really hard to pinpoint
  22. <19:29:45> lostlabyrinth has C.Syde65 improved considerably while I was away? from what I remember of him he was far from ready...
  23. <19:30:06> LiR Technically, one single admin could manage this entire wiki, assuming they were awake 24/7
  24. <19:30:21> LiR because there's not a whole lot that an admin needs to do that a normal user can't do
  25. <19:30:27> MrC Who the hell has that kind of time, and desire?
  26. <19:30:49> k6ka exactly
  27. <19:30:54> LiR but by that same logic, there's no such thing as too many administrators
  28. <19:31:08> k6ka even on my other wiki, The Last Stand Wiki, there are two admins when a wiki of such size only needed one. really.
  29. <19:31:10> lostlabyrinth I haven't contributed anything of value in months, so a new admin certainly wouldn't hurt
  30. <19:31:11> LiR because administrators don't have designated jobs. so you'll never "run out of stuff" that they need to do
  31. <19:31:12> k6ka Redundancy is good
  32. <19:31:17> MrC If they're all "good choices," then sure.
  33. <19:32:00> LiR The only time I would really think limiting numbers would be good is if you have a lot of people applying and you want to whittle it down to only the "best" applicants
  34. <19:32:30> LiR the problem is that the way we handle our RfAs and RfBs, you can't really pick from among multiple candidates... each candidate is considered individually
  35. <19:33:25> LiR I think ThePeculiarMe is definitely ready, and I would also advocate for [[User:Icemandeaf]]
  36. <19:33:26> delta http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User:Icemandeaf
  37. <19:33:27> Deus_ex_machina` Title: User:Icemandeaf - The Sims Wiki (at sims.wikia.com)
  38. <19:33:45> lostlabyrinth Icemandeaf seems okay, don't really know the other one
  39. <19:33:56> LiR ThePeculiarMe has been around a couple months
  40. <19:34:11> lostlabyrinth I honestly do think C.Syde65 and a few others could do well as an admin someday, just not yet
  41. <19:34:17> k6ka WP:NOTNOW
  42. <19:34:31> LiR [[The Sims Wiki:Not now]]
  43. <19:34:32> delta http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sims_Wiki:Not_now
  44. <19:34:33> Deus_ex_machina` Title: The Sims Wiki:Not now - The Sims Wiki (at sims.wikia.com)
  45. <19:34:41> k6ka I've seen Icemandeaf on RC patrol
  46. <19:34:47> k6ka sometimes beats me to reverts
  47. <19:34:59> k6ka most of the time catches stuff when i wasn't around
  48. <19:35:03> LiR ...so you're voting against his RfA
  49. <19:35:07> LiR "how dare he beat me!"
  50. <19:35:27> lostlabyrinth oh great, he can be you when you ain't around
  51. <19:35:43> LiR As for C.syde.... he definitely shows initiative, which is worth something
  52. <19:35:48> LiR but...
  53. <19:35:56> lostlabyrinth he makes so many avoidable mistakes
  54. <19:36:03> lostlabyrinth like, he needs to get bigger before he gets better
  55. <19:36:23> LiR not even that. have you noticed how obsessive he has gotten over ILS5?
  56. <19:36:33> LiR I should dig up something to show you...
  57. <19:36:39> k6ka the fastest revert i've done on this wiki was within 11 seconds of the edit being made
  58. <19:36:50> k6ka on Wikipedia it was 3 seconds, but only b/c i was using a semi-automated program
  59. <19:37:10> MrC K6ka, do you have a life?
  60. <19:37:13> MrC Kidding
  61. <19:37:15> LiR http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:K6ka?oldid=597456
  62. <19:37:17> Deus_ex_machina` Title: User talk:K6ka - The Sims Wiki (at sims.wikia.com)
  63. <19:37:32> LiR I was particularly proud of a revert I had made...
  64. <19:37:49> LiR the negative edit, revert, and talk page warning were all posted in the same minute
  65. <19:37:53> LiR I felt like a bot
  66. <19:37:57> lostlabyrinth >Ilovesims3
  67. <19:38:00> lostlabyrinth >registered in 2010
  68. <19:38:14> k6ka MrC: confused
  69. <19:38:32> LiR Yeah, exactly. He saw the name and immediately assumed that it was a sockpuppet, before even bothering to check and see that the user hadn't edited in four years
  70. <19:38:55> -->| Guest97535 (~auror@c-67-191-210-95.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) has joined #wikia-sims
  71. <19:38:57> MrC K6ka: Don't worry about it.
  72. <19:39:04> lostlabyrinth that's my main reservation about him: he lacks awareness
  73. <19:39:06> LiR hi Guest97535
  74. <19:39:19> =-= Guest97535 is now known as auror
  75. <19:39:22> LiR hi auror
  76. <19:39:28> |<-- auror has left freenode (Changing host)
  77. <19:39:29> -->| auror (~auror@trivialand/master/auror) has joined #wikia-sims
  78. <19:39:32> LiR hi auror
  79. <19:39:47> LiR I ended up talking to him on chat and basically telling him to AGF and to not jump to conclusions
  80. <19:39:52> MrC Maybe I'm bitter but I never bother to greet recent joins until the user speaks.
  81. <19:40:04> k6ka auror: We're talking about future potential admins.
  82. <19:40:12> LiR we're also going to demote Lab
  83. <19:40:18> auror ?????
  84. <19:40:19> LiR oh, sorry, that was supposed to be a secret
  85. <19:40:22> LiR hi auror
  86. <19:40:30> lostlabyrinth I'm thinking of putting in an RfB for...
  87. <19:40:35> lostlabyrinth ...myself
  88. <19:40:41> lostlabyrinth yeah...we could use a new me
  89. <19:40:44> auror <@LiR> And, Sims will be able to breastfeed babies <- Last thing I saw
