Conservapedia talk:Team contest (view source)
Revision as of 21:33, July 12, 2007
, 21:33, July 12, 2007→[[ACE (baseball)]] and the contest
::::Sid, I don't "lurk" - you all know I read it, you all know I occasionally post there - "lurking" is somehow insulting. Are you "lurking" here? As for your points above - that is why we need a robust {{tl|db}} team/procedure - I've said elsewhere, we need to create stubs like these and see what we can do with them over time. Should they go? Should they merge, expand? The contest is a bit of fun, don't forget. Why are you so against us having fun here? Yes, I've been stubbing the shipping thing, but that's because its a subject I worked in professionally for a long time and I can see how I can develop some monstrously good pages. And check [[Ship's Bells]] - you know YOU didn't know that before now: it '''IS''' educational. Its hard enough for us to be constructive while you lot are running your vandalbots. This site is very very young. You people have never appreciated the benefits that contributions such as mine can make in the long run, and you just want to destroy and make conflict. That's not the way. If you don't like it here, please leave. Trashionalwiki needs you.

:::::I don't lurk here. I just had been banned for the past three months. ;)
:::::Copy-pasting technical glossaries IS useless, especially when it's done in this quantity (especially compared to the total article count and the number of unbanned editors). It's just a glossary mirror, filled with orphaned (and often dead-end) stubs. Any Google query gives the source (which says exactly the same content, minus potentially hilarious grammar slip-ups) and half a bazillion more comprehensive articles.
:::::And funny how you...
:::::#insert the mandatory "Don't love it? Leave it!" line (I mean, dude, I just came back! :P) and
:::::#don't comment on how Andy's opinion apparently did a 180° turn.
:::::Here's a (late) suggestion: Just post links to all those glossaries and then make a project out of it. Instead of mindless copy-pasting with the "Work on it later" tag, create meaningful articles from scratch. That would put an emphasis on quality instead of quantity. Keep in mind, it's not only about how things look in five years, it's also about the impression you project to outsiders right now)
:::::And I let you guys have as much fun as you like, but you most likely also read my analysis of how the scoring system is critically flawed and thus encourages mindless copying (I predicted one of the key strategies before you guys even had your own namespaces). I would gladly have a contest in which the focus is the creation of GOOD and actually USEFUL articles. --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 17:33, 12 July 2007 (EDT)
