• 18 Feb 2008 - Template:Undelete looks great now, but has a problem covering up part of the domain box on many of the pages it's on. Any ideas/help beyond moving it to the top of the page? Kristina .talk. .chat.
• 16 Feb 2008 - Maybe this phrase is good for welcoming? "we have a page for your website" User talk:ReggieS -- TedErnst (talk)

  • Here's another weblog post to DailyBuzz. I'm a bit confused by it. Anyone want to do it? [post. It's a blogger blog that links to User talk:Malayalasangeetham as a way to get in touch about MalayalaSangeetham.info. Maybe we could invite them to use InfluenceUs? TedErnst (talk)
  • Ted and I worked on dividing the FeatureMePotentials page into sections. Obed Suhail 05:48, 14 February 2008 (PST)
• 13 Feb 08 - Asad (not sure if others as well) worked on the Feature process using the AddThisHere feature, so nominating can be much easier. It'll be even better tomorrow! Yay! We also have some great discussion going on there about how to improve the process. Join in! TedErnst (talk)
• 13 February 2008 - Worked on FeatureMePotentials list A-E, moved lots of 'em to last chance. --Sa'ad ^{: msg me : email :}
• 13 February 2008 - On one of the personal pages, I noticed today that adsense was not working despite the fact that there was Category:WhiteList on it. It turned out that it was because this category was in one of the templates and we didn't have the functionality mark as okay for all audiences any page that has a template on it or has a page that is transcluded on it that contains this category to be marked as Okay for all Audiences. We have this functionality now but the question is, do we want to have this category on all personal pages? Thoughts? Asad | *~talk~*
  • I think, no. Personal pages that trip the filter will get the non-adsense ads, which is okay. If we notice and want to manually whitelist, that seems fine. Is there another side to this? TedErnst (talk)
• 11 February 2008 - I intend to DailyBuzz this, and link to it from the domain pages mentioned, but don't have time at the moment. I'll still do it later if no one gets to it first: http://paulfwalsh.com/more-noise-being-added-by-the-bwdma/ TedErnst (talk)
• 10 February 2008 - moved this discussion from InterestingHappenings to here.
  • Domain names not seems to be Adult BookFinders.com but it had adult information on its AboutUs Page
  • Not sure what to do with VertexResourcing.com
    • Not sure what you're referring to. Say more?
      • Related Domains are confusing me in this page VertexResourcing.com
    • What would you suggest to do with it?
      • My suggested Edit, because I think These Domains (vertexresourcing.c0.uk, vertexresourcing.c0m, vertexresourcing.comm, vertexresourcing.coom) doesn't make any sense. I would be more happy if some body make it more constructive.
      • looks like there are too many categories and RelatedDomains

02-January-2008

• I love the way Tak made ContentStaff so transparent! What can we do for CommunityStaff? ~~ MarkDilley
• Ted - could you explain why you are playing with the test idea of redirect to No Bot Policy? ~~ MarkDilley
  • Yes, we have various levels of people being okay with us displaying there information here. Some people are fine with our bot scrape. Others prefer to remove their personal phone number (they don't care about the history). Others also want the history removed. Others want all bot-generated content removed. Others are still not satisfied with that, so changing the page into a redirect to NoBotPolicy makes it so that from one point of view, they don't even have a page on AboutUs at all. And yet this still allows the community to go back and change the redirect into a real page again at some point in the future, intentionally, be a human being. Does this answer the question? TedErnst (talk)
• So we (I) have put WikiBoxes on all new folks PersonalPages for this months experiment. The idea is that we have asked people to Upload their image and take the WikiTour - now what? Letting them know there is community here and that they can learn from is a cool idea to me. This means that we need to tweak the box for CommunityNews aka InterestingHappenings to make it better and we need to change up our welcoming message a little. What do you think? ~~ MarkDilley

25-December-2007

• Yes! in reply to KristinaWeis's email - "I was thinking in light of the new core customer stuff that TheWikiWay:WhatIsAboutUs might be a good page to tweak and get that out there for new (folks). Thoughts?" ( also tweaked the MissionStatement. MarkDilley
• I did some tweaking of the titles and formatting and links, with Saad's help. TedErnst (talk)
• Nice! :-) Obed Suhail
• I like this a lot! Even before community members start using this for communication, we staff can use it to show an example of how it can work! ;-) ~~ MarkDilley

24-December-2007

• This box has been added to the personal pages of each community staffmember using {{CommunityStaffWorkingInPublic}}. This is an experiment. What do you think? Feel free to move the box and comment back here. TedErnst (talk)
  • I love it! I think this box can be used to great effect for enhancing communication between the community members. :-) Asad | *~talk~* 09:42, 24 December 2007 (PST)
• This box is inspired by the recent work on News.
