[22:38:16]  Welcome to AgriCorps Meeting 88, sponsored by TaggCo, proud makers of Beer Milkshakes. [22:43:00]  Cav is hosting [22:43:19]  Down to business then. [22:43:22]  New articles. [22:43:39]  http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Barel_Ovair [22:43:47]     Archive links need to be for the BTS, sources, and references. [22:43:49]     The BTS here is woefully short and should be expanded upon. [22:44:07]  "woefully" is my favorite adjective for GAs :P [22:44:23] I thought you would appreciate it. [22:44:36]  I genuinely feel woe [22:44:47]  But I happily vote Probe [22:44:51]  Probe [22:44:52]  Probe [22:44:54] Probe [22:45:01]  Probe [22:45:16]  Barel Ovair probed. [22:45:27]  http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Obitoki [22:45:32]  This article needs to have its BTS and appearances section reworked to reflect the Canon switch. [22:45:46] <CavalierOne> Probe [22:45:56] <IFYLOFD> Probe [22:46:07] Probe [22:46:12] <Toprawa> Ah, yeah [22:46:21] <Toprawa> Sorry, I was familiarizing myself with the ambiguous thing [22:46:23] <Toprawa> Probe [22:46:30] <Imperators> Probe [22:46:37] <CavalierOne> Obitoki probed. [22:46:53] <CavalierOne> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ozurist [22:46:56] <CavalierOne> Some of the P&T assumes 100% game completion, but not all of it. [22:46:58] <CavalierOne> The year presented in this article is incorrect. It needs to use the TOR date template for referencing as well. [22:46:59] <CavalierOne> I do not believe the fact that he is a Lethan Twi'lek can be sourced to the game. [22:47:01] <CavalierOne> The release date for the game is not self-sourcing. [22:47:23] <Toprawa> Proob [22:47:32] Probe [22:47:33] <IFYLOFD> Probe [22:47:40] <CavalierOne> Probe [22:47:44] <Imperators> Probe [22:47:52] <CavalierOne> Ozurist probed. [22:48:02] <CavalierOne> Nothing on the maintenance page. [22:48:13] <CavalierOne> So, Tope - your discussion item? [22:48:17] <Toprawa> Yes [22:48:21] <Toprawa> Ok [22:48:41] <Toprawa> As we all know, admission has been stagnant lately, with the exception of our newest arrival [22:49:00] <Toprawa> I've come up with an idea that I hope will have two purposes [22:49:35] <Toprawa> One is to promote greater interest and a more personalized reason for /wanting/ to join the AC [22:50:05] <Toprawa> The second is to not penalize people the rule was never originally meant to apply to [22:50:22] <Toprawa> I'm speaking about the four-nomination-limit rule [22:50:39] <CavalierOne> Ah, yes. [22:50:55] <Toprawa> The purpose behind the rule was to attempt to control new nominators, who are often overeager without understanding the full level of nuance that we put into detailing status articles [22:51:08] <Toprawa> I believe that need still (and probably always will) exist [22:51:35] <Toprawa> What I propose is to remove the limit for AgriCorps members. [22:51:42] <Toprawa> Now, I realize that seems self-serving on the surface [22:51:59] <Toprawa> But I hope it will have the effect of giving a reason to want to review more, as I said [22:52:05] <Toprawa> If you want to nominate more articles, review more and join the team [22:52:15] <Toprawa> There are benefits to putting in the hard work of being a panel reviewer [22:52:21] <Toprawa> Thoughts? [22:52:23] <Imperators> unlimited powah. [22:52:43] <Imperators> I was thinking you were going to talk about allowing ACs to vote for their own noms [22:52:57] <Toprawa> I've considered that from time to time [22:53:09] <Toprawa> For now, I hope this will be a better working alternative [22:53:15] <IFYLOFD> I opposed the nomination limit when it was originally proposed and my stance hasn't changed [22:53:19] <Imperators> I'm good with it. [22:53:21] <IFYLOFD> So I'm in favor of this [22:54:19] <CavalierOne> I agree with it as well. [22:54:30] Yeah, anything to give people an incentive to want to join the AC seems like a good idea to me. [22:54:42] <CavalierOne> I would also be interested in reinstating AC self-voting. [22:55:07] <Toprawa> I had tossed self-voting around as a more desperate idea to try and get nominations moving faster [22:55:19] <Toprawa> But I admittedly thought more seriously about it before I decided to nominate Imperators for admission [22:55:31] <Toprawa> I'd at least like to see what effect his admission has on nomination time [22:55:41] <Toprawa> Before we potentially ratify that, that is [22:57:04] <CavalierOne> Fair enough. Then I support it's future potential [22:57:35] <Toprawa> I'll support continuing to consider it :P [22:58:08] <CavalierOne> Excellent :P [22:58:13] <Toprawa> Like, maybe if we allowed self-voting to then require an extra panel or non-member vote to pass [22:58:27] <Toprawa> But that's something to discuss later, I think [22:58:41] <CavalierOne> Agreed. We'll see how removing the limit for ACs works first. [22:59:17] <CavalierOne> Anything else to discuss? [22:59:23] <Toprawa> Not from me [22:59:36] I don't have anything. [22:59:46] *** Joins: eckscloud (uid8018@wookieepedia/administrator/pdpc.active.ecks) [22:59:46] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o eckscloud [22:59:53] <Toprawa> wut [23:00:00] <Toprawa> wut is this sorcery [23:00:10] im either just in time or an hour late [23:00:14] <Toprawa> haha [23:00:19] <Toprawa> We decided to start 30 minutes early :P [23:00:20] <CavalierOne> Well, technically, you're on time. [23:00:26] bloody hell [23:00:26] <CavalierOne> But we started early ... [23:00:26] <Toprawa> You're catching the tail end [23:00:52] so what happened [23:00:53] <CavalierOne> To catch up: Imperators in AC, three articles probed, nomination limits for ACs to be removed. [23:00:54] <Imperators> hi ecks [23:01:01] hello, welcome [23:02:11] <Toprawa> I think that's it [23:02:15] <CavalierOne> So, meeting duties. [23:02:25] <Toprawa> Imperators, we have a rotating system for meeting duties [23:02:32] <CavalierOne> Ecks, you arrived in time for paperwork! [23:02:37] <Toprawa> We each take turns in a randomized list, then start a new list when the cycle ends [23:02:40] o shit [23:02:48] <CavalierOne> Scheduling falls to some fella named TBD [23:02:56] <CavalierOne> We need a randomiser. [23:03:02] new guy gets duties [23:03:05] <CavalierOne> Good place to start with a new member and all [23:03:16] <Toprawa> I can randomize it really quick [23:03:24] <CavalierOne> Fire away [23:04:02] *** eckscloud sets mode: +I $a:Imperators [23:04:13] <Toprawa> Paperwork:    exiledjedi [23:04:15] <Toprawa>    Imperators [23:04:16] <Toprawa>    Cavalier One [23:04:18] <Toprawa>    IFloyd [23:04:20] <Toprawa>    Toprawa [23:04:21] <Toprawa>    ecks [23:04:29] <Toprawa> Meeting:    Imperators [23:04:31] <Toprawa>    IFloyd [23:04:32] <Toprawa>    exiledjedi [23:04:34] <Toprawa>    Toprawa [23:04:35] <Toprawa>    Cavalier One [23:04:37] <Toprawa>    ecks [23:04:39] <Toprawa> ecks, you bastid [23:04:39] ha [23:04:40] ha [23:04:42] haaaa [23:05:09] <Toprawa> Ok, I actually have to run now [23:05:13] <Toprawa> See you guys later
