RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - Bob Schroeck - 02-07-2022 We'll see if he's got anything better, or if this was some "grr speak english!" reactionary crap. EDIT: I was already not really liking Burnator for his extended series of plagiarized or otherwise unacceptable edits. This has done nothing to improve my opinion of him. RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - Bob Schroeck - 02-07-2022 Update on the search issue: Reception123 has gone ahead and made the proposed schema change. One of the affected wikis is already fixed, and for us? Well... Quote:@Looney_Toons Search is being progressively rebuild on ATT and should hopefully be working by tomorrow.

Relatively noncontroversial edit compared to their other ones, grammar of the word coastal aside.

RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - Bob Schroeck - 02-07-2022 It's nothing of any value, plus minor grammar error ("ridiculous" instead of "ridiculously"). But it doesn't make the page worse. I'll pass it and we can deal with it at our leisure. RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - Bob Schroeck - 02-08-2022 Here's one I'm trying to find: Do we have any kind of trope for a device or object with a limited operating time? Like the Mol unit's 666 seconds in Moldiver? I've been digging through the time tropes indices but having no luck.

Rob, I understand. I have stepped away myself when I did not trust my own judgment, please take whatever time off is required. You will be in my prayers that you can return at a later date with your personal situation vastly improved and we will welcome you back with open arms to resume your duties whenever you feel you are able to do so. In the meantime, we'll mind the store while you are out. Please see to your own affairs and well being in the meantime, we understand entirely. RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - Norgarth - 02-12-2022 I'm pretty annoyed by the ones causing trouble in Windsor and they aren't even directly impacting me. Unlike a couple friends who work in the areas where these idiots are blocking traffic. secondary effects are starting to impact me though, so I'm hoping it gets resolved soon. RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - Bob Schroeck - 02-15-2022 At about 3:10 EST -- five minutes ago -- it looks like anything that is transcluded thanks to a template has been broken -- losing all special formatting and markup. Most notably page templates/menus and tropelist/examples. EDIT: Never mind, it fixed itself. RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - robkelk - 02-15-2022 Erk! I wasn't expecting that many pages to have the "tropestub" tag... The list of Trope Workshop pages just doubled in size. Sorry about that. At least now we know about them all. EDIT: Mind you, I have no idea how "PlayStation 4" is a trope... somebody needs to go through the list and fix the stub tags on the pages that aren't actually tropes.

The list of Trope Workshop pages just doubled in size. Somebody has. I've converted a few tropestubs to plain stubs. I've removed a few on "this page has lots of main text and more than dozen examples" grounds. I've marked a couple of the pages for outright deletion. I pretty much entirely rewrote one that caught my eye. Someone else can now look into what I left in my wake.

I was sorely tempted to comment about this myself, but then I noticed that it was already 9-10 days old. That said, though, I have the body of what I had thought to write. If anyone thinks it's of any use, please let me know. It may even be useful as YMMV material on the trope page itself. Quote:Hrm. I don't normally skulk around here, but given that I'm one of a few Japanophiles in Bob's usual haunt who's actually been in Japan for an extended period of time, I feel I'm pretty well qualified to supply some useful feedback.

Beautifully put and well reasoned. RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - Bob Schroeck - 02-16-2022 What Geth said. And yes, let's not discard that, we can save it for use somewhere. Now that I think of it, let's put it on the Analysis page for the trope. As for Burnator, it seems he's retreated from that topic and isn't going to try to answer. As I noted earlier in this thread, it looks like it was entirely a case of "'grr speak english!' reactionary crap" and he didn't have anything past that. RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - robkelk - 02-16-2022 I know this is a trope, but which trope?

I've had most of a week to calm down, and the mass arrests currently (when) underway have done wonders for my disposition. So I'm back. So... "Best Known for the Fanservice/Myths and Legends" needs an image. I was tempted to go with Saint Mary Magdalen with Saint John the Baptist and an Angel, but is she showing too much at her hem line?

You could always invoke the "it's classical art, not porn" loophole and use it unedited.

Sounds good Thanks. RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - robkelk - 02-19-2022 I've made another request to run a mass-replace job. RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - Bob Schroeck - 02-22-2022 Guys, we need to set up some kind of regular rotation to work the Moderation queue. I've said this before, and it's still true. I just took a look at it, and there is stuff in there that is ten days old. We promised to get stuff in and out in 24-48 hours, and we're not keeping that promise.

We promised to get stuff in and out in 24-48 hours, and we're not keeping that promise. I had no idea this was such an issue, I'm game for any system that would be workable to address this. At any rate, barring exceptional circumstances, I should be able to guarantee checking the queue at least once a day. Also, rejected all of Burnator's edts, they were all blatant theft, one you guys can handle him if you like. Cleaned out the rest of the queue, the rest looked legit and got passes except for Exploring Editor, they ripped off the TVT Aventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Character page. Also Wimythechild had hideous grammar, rejected on those grounds. RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV - Bob Schroeck - 02-23-2022 Thanks, Geth. I'm going to try to be dedicated about checking at least once a day, too, but there I times I find I've overlooked it for days at a time. I think if we each just took a day in turn and handled everything that comes in that day it should be enough. The question is keeping people reminded when it's their day (it'd be so much easier if there were seven of us <grin>). When you say Burnator's edits were theft, I'm presuming you mean TVT plagiarism as usual. I'm thinking we've hit a limit on the crap we should take from him, but I'll review his history just to be sure. |
