Articles that do so should be nominated for Featured status. " 2013-09-22T02:08:47 <Toprawa> I think that's intended for GANs, though ^ 2013-09-22T02:08:49 <CC7567> yeah 2013-09-22T02:08:52 <CC7567> we don't remove GAs over 1,000 2013-09-22T02:08:55 <Toprawa> Right 2013-09-22T02:08:58 <CC7567> we just encourage people to take them to the FAN page 2013-09-22T02:09:01 <Toprawa> I don't mind if we don't remove CAs, then 2013-09-22T02:09:06 <Toprawa> We can encourage users, as CC says 2013-09-22T02:09:07 <Cade> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:SH:1000%2B_GA_list?t=20130706053631 2013-09-22T02:09:09 <CC7567> ^ 2013-09-22T02:09:12 I say we give the nominator a message, and kick it to hell 2013-09-22T02:09:17 <Cade> It's like that SH. 2013-09-22T02:09:19 <MasterFred> Ah, I am no longer confused. :D 2013-09-22T02:09:21 <MasterFred> I agree with CC 2013-09-22T02:09:34  <Cade> We're not stripping status from the large GAs, we're just asking the writers to FAN them. 2013-09-22T02:10:02 <Cade> However, I'm not sure when I'll be able to get GSI to the FAN page :P 2013-09-22T02:10:08 <CC7567> I'd say that the rule is fine as it is right now 2013-09-22T02:10:09 In'ts there a point where an article becomes too big though? 2013-09-22T02:10:15 What about that TOR nom? we can't just leave it.... 2013-09-22T02:10:16 *Isn't 2013-09-22T02:10:35  <MasterFred> Well, that one would be removed simply due to lack of quality. :P 2013-09-22T02:10:39 <Cade> >_< 2013-09-22T02:10:43 true 2013-09-22T02:10:48 <MasterFred> After going through a redux or whatever. :P 2013-09-22T02:10:49 * Cade pounds Fred and dogma with the gavel 2013-09-22T02:11:01 <Toprawa> EJ, did you have a suggested word limit in mind? 2013-09-22T02:11:02 <MasterFred> So 2013-09-22T02:11:07  <MasterFred> ^ 2013-09-22T02:11:25 I was thinking of about three hundred... 2013-09-22T02:11:32 <Cade> That sounds good 2013-09-22T02:11:39 * dogma agrees 2013-09-22T02:11:43 Those we could just kick out.... 2013-09-22T02:11:45 <MasterFred> So, what happens when they pass 300? 2013-09-22T02:11:50 <MasterFred> oh 2013-09-22T02:11:53  <Toprawa> I just think it's impractical, since you can't force someone to nominate something. 2013-09-22T02:11:55 WE KILL THEM 2013-09-22T02:11:57 <Toprawa> What if they don't want to nominate it? 2013-09-22T02:11:57 <MasterFred> As in remove status? 2013-09-22T02:11:59 <Supreme_Emperor> drop a message on the nominators talk page 2013-09-22T02:12:01 <Cade> However, all of those will require intros 2013-09-22T02:12:13 <Toprawa> You're going to put something on the GAN page without a nominator to monitor it? 2013-09-22T02:12:16 <Supreme_Emperor> if they do nothing, it loses status, assuming nobody else "adopts" it 2013-09-22T02:12:32  we should give the nominator a month (or less) to nom it 2013-09-22T02:12:33  I never suggested to put anything on the GAN page.... 2013-09-22T02:12:37 <Toprawa> That doesn't make sense to me. 2013-09-22T02:12:39 <MasterFred> Actually, I find this ok with CAs. 2013-09-22T02:12:47 <Toprawa> Because then you're cross-pollinating the GAN and CAN pages. 2013-09-22T02:12:47 <MasterFred> CAs dont' require intros. 2013-09-22T02:13:03 <Cade> Frd: if they're over 200, they do 2013-09-22T02:13:07  Technically no article over 250 words can be a CA.... 2013-09-22T02:13:12 <MasterFred> Cade pls 2013-09-22T02:13:18 <MasterFred> I'm fixing to explain something. :P 2013-09-22T02:13:33 Go ahead Fred. 2013-09-22T02:13:47 What do you want to explain? 2013-09-22T02:13:53 <MasterFred> We can drop a message on the nominators talk page. If they don't want to nominate it and no one adopts it, if it has no intro, can it not be considered low quality? 2013-09-22T02:14:04 <Cade> ^^ 2013-09-22T02:14:04 <MasterFred> If it is over 200, by policy, it requires an intro. 2013-09-22T02:14:15 <MasterFred> So those could be removed, correct? 2013-09-22T02:14:20 What if it is over 250 with an intro? 2013-09-22T02:14:31 <MasterFred> Then I would say keep CA status. 2013-09-22T02:14:38 <MasterFred> Unless someone GANs it. 2013-09-22T02:14:44 This isn't about article over 200 words without an intro, it's about article over 250 that are CAs. 2013-09-22T02:14:46 <Toprawa> We don't kill existing GAs that go over 1,000 words just because no one wants to take them to FAN; I think it's impractical to kill CAs for the same reason. 2013-09-22T02:14:56 <CC7567> per Tope 2013-09-22T02:15:15 <MasterFred> EJ: Yes, I'm talking about a CAN that has no intro that grows to over 250. 2013-09-22T02:15:19 <MasterFred> *CA 2013-09-22T02:15:27 <Cade> Yeah, I'd have to agree. Though there are extremes, like GSI, that can be killed. 2013-09-22T02:15:40 Ok, that's fine with me. 2013-09-22T02:15:54 Any other comment? 2013-09-22T02:15:59 <MasterFred> But if it has an intro, then it meets site standards and should stay a CA unless someone GANs it. 2013-09-22T02:16:01 <CC7567> so just to clarify, what's the decision? 2013-09-22T02:16:01 <MasterFred> Just my opinion. 2013-09-22T02:16:07 <CC7567> or what are we voting on? 2013-09-22T02:16:10 <CC7567> I'm getting a bit lost 2013-09-22T02:16:26 <MasterFred> Should I explain everything I just said, EJ? 2013-09-22T02:16:30 <Toprawa> Well, the general consensus, correct me if I'm wrong, is to not start doing this. 2013-09-22T02:16:33 <Toprawa> We could hold a formal vote, I guess 2013-09-22T02:16:37 Yeah... 2013-09-22T02:16:46 <MasterFred> In general, per Tope. 2013-09-22T02:17:00 <Cade> So, the 250+ CA's will remain CA's. 2013-09-22T02:17:09  <Toprawa> Right, though they will require an intro. 2013-09-22T02:17:12 <Cade> Unless they violate the Layout Guide by not having an intro. 2013-09-22T02:17:18 <Toprawa> Correct 2013-09-22T02:17:21 The general consensus is to leave 250+ articles CAs except for those way over, like GSI. 2013-09-22T02:17:33 <MasterFred> I was saying that if a CA that started under 200 and didn't have an intro went above 250, and the nominator didn't want to GAN it, it would be put up for removal. 2013-09-22T02:17:34 <Toprawa> Well, we need to address that, then, EJ 2013-09-22T02:17:34  <Cade> :P 2013-09-22T02:17:34 <MasterFred> For a vote. 2013-09-22T02:17:43 <Toprawa> We need to define "except for those way over" 2013-09-22T02:17:52 300 plus? 2013-09-22T02:17:56 <Cade> 500+ 2013-09-22T02:17:59 <Supreme_Emperor> 500 2013-09-22T02:18:00 <Toprawa> Personally, I don't favor any limit. 2013-09-22T02:18:01 400 2013-09-22T02:18:06 <Cade> Hmm. 2013-09-22T02:18:08 <Toprawa> I don't believe we should kill existing CAs. 2013-09-22T02:18:08 I remember putting Gavar Khai on the AC page as over 3000 words 2013-09-22T02:18:09 <Supreme_Emperor> 327.5 2013-09-22T02:18:16 per SE 2013-09-22T02:18:17  I think his status was removed... 2013-09-22T02:18:23 <Cade> Tope: what about FA-length CA's, like GSI? 2013-09-22T02:18:28 <MasterFred> Hmmm 2013-09-22T02:18:37 <Toprawa> I don't think it matters. 2013-09-22T02:18:44 <Toprawa> It's not a fault in the article, per se 2013-09-22T02:18:46  <MasterFred> I agree with Tope on that. 2013-09-22T02:18:50 <Supreme_Emperor> seems like this might be something better done case by case 2013-09-22T02:18:51 http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:AC/Gavar_Khai 2013-09-22T02:19:04 This is what I was thinking of. 2013-09-22T02:19:06 <MasterFred> I don't like case-by-case policies. :P 2013-09-22T02:19:24 <Cade> Well, one other issue is how much the article has changed since the CAN process. 2013-09-22T02:19:42 <Cade> I don't believe any of the original text remains. Maybe a couple of sentences. 2013-09-22T02:19:51 <Toprawa> I'm struggling to remember this Gavar Khai thing, though it's concerning me 2013-09-22T02:19:54  <MasterFred> What is the disadvantage to doing it the same as the GAs? 2013-09-22T02:20:00 <Toprawa> because I don't remember when we changed the limit from 3,000 to 1,000 words 2013-09-22T02:20:08 <Toprawa> and I don't remember it applying to existing GAs, but maybe I'mw rong 2013-09-22T02:20:16 WE can kill GSI because of the redlinks 2013-09-22T02:20:21 It was over 3,000 I believe... 2013-09-22T02:20:24 <Cade> So, basically the entire article never went through the nomination process. And per dogma. 2013-09-22T02:20:43 <Toprawa> but yeah, Cade, you have a point 2013-09-22T02:20:48 <MasterFred> yeah 2013-09-22T02:20:49 <Toprawa> another issue is the change in the content 2013-09-22T02:20:49 <MasterFred> Hmmm 2013-09-22T02:20:53 <Toprawa> which falls into Redux territory 2013-09-22T02:20:58 <Toprawa> I don't know if CAN has a Redux page, though 2013-09-22T02:21:04 It doesn't. 2013-09-22T02:21:07  <Cade> I'd say articles that received //expansions// that pushed them over the limit, they can stay 2013-09-22T02:21:31 Isn't that every CA that went over 250? 2013-09-22T02:21:58 <Cade> Sorry. When I mean expansion, I mean that the text largely remains the same other than the additions. 2013-09-22T02:22:07 <MasterFred> Could we do something like "If the __% different in bytes from the original CA, it should be sent to the redux:? 2013-09-22T02:22:07  Ok, just checking. 2013-09-22T02:22:24  <Cade> I'm with Tope on not adding a numeric limit. 2013-09-22T02:22:28  I don't know if we want to go there.... 2013-09-22T02:22:45  <CC7567> Fred: that's a bit complicated 2013-09-22T02:22:49  <Cade> Plus, formatting and references can vary the byte size enormously. 2013-09-22T02:22:53  We should vote soon - this issue is taking too long 2013-09-22T02:22:58  <MasterFred> Hmmm 2013-09-22T02:23:02  <Cade> My SWTOR workbench is about 1/3-4 referneces and formatting. 2013-09-22T02:23:05  <MasterFred> It is a little complicated. 2013-09-22T02:23:06  <Toprawa> We have like three or four competing, intermingling issues here :P 2013-09-22T02:23:14  <Toprawa> This is very cimplicated 2013-09-22T02:23:17  <Toprawa> o* 2013-09-22T02:23:38  <Toprawa> Ok, despite the example of Gavar Khai, the AC doesn't kill existing GAs 2013-09-22T02:23:47 A lot of the CANs with issues were over the limit, which I assumed meant that it couldn't be a CA anymore... 2013-09-22T02:23:49 <Toprawa> I don't remember what that was all about, but that was some kind of special exception 2013-09-22T02:24:03 <Toprawa> I think it involved page moving or something 2013-09-22T02:24:06 How about we create a Sh like the GA over 1000 words, just for CAs over 250? 2013-09-22T02:24:19 <Supreme_Emperor> we could always keep them CA's, but let the nominator know it's over 2013-09-22T02:24:21 <Supreme_Emperor> per dogma 2013-09-22T02:24:31 We can reserve the right to kill crappy articles, like GSI 2013-09-22T02:24:34 <MasterFred> SH often don't go anywhere. 2013-09-22T02:24:45 <CC7567> an SH wouldn't hurt, though 2013-09-22T02:24:49 <CC7567> as long as someone's willing to compile it 2013-09-22T02:24:49  If we can't remove a CA over the limit, then most of the articles we are going to review we can skip. 2013-09-22T02:24:49 <MasterFred> I'd say keep them and inform the nominator. 2013-09-22T02:24:49 <Cade> I think that as a general rule, we don't kill them. But we allow for extreme exceptions like GSI and the AC's Gavar Khai. 2013-09-22T02:25:14 what about the ones over 250 without an intro? 2013-09-22T02:25:15 <Toprawa> Ok, we need to divide this into votes. 2013-09-22T02:25:16 <Cade> Is anyone against that? 2013-09-22T02:25:19 <Toprawa> One thing at a time. 2013-09-22T02:25:22 To kill, or not to kill? 2013-09-22T02:25:27 <Toprawa> Everyone be quiet for a second. 2013-09-22T02:25:32 <Supreme_Emperor> article such as those could be brought up on a redux page, or at EC meetings for further discussion 2013-09-22T02:25:54 <Toprawa> The first issue is whether we want to kill existing CAs that exceed a certain word limit. If the vote is positive, we will determine a specific limit. 2013-09-22T02:25:59 <Toprawa> Vote Yes or No 2013-09-22T02:26:01  <Cade> No. 2013-09-22T02:26:04  <Supreme_Emperor> no 2013-09-22T02:26:07  no 2013-09-22T02:26:08  no 2013-09-22T02:26:09  <MasterFred> no 2013-09-22T02:26:10  <Toprawa> No 2013-09-22T02:26:12  n 2013-09-22T02:26:13  o 2013-09-22T02:26:13  <CC7567> no 2013-09-22T02:26:14  no 2013-09-22T02:26:31  <Toprawa> Ok, we will not vote for a limit, then 2013-09-22T02:26:56 <Toprawa> The next issue is articles that receive significant expansion and thus no longer reflect the state of the article upon original status passing. 2013-09-22T02:27:06 <Toprawa> For FAs and GAs, we created Redux pages for this purpose. 2013-09-22T02:27:12 <Toprawa> To basically re-review the new content. 2013-09-22T02:27:18 <Toprawa> Do we want to create a CAN Redux page? 2013-09-22T02:27:24 <Cade> One question first. 2013-09-22T02:27:27 <Toprawa> Go ahead. 2013-09-22T02:27:57 <Cade> On the AC Redux page, if articles have gone over 1,000, are they directed to the FAN page, or reduxed regardless? 2013-09-22T02:27:57 i have one too 2013-09-22T02:28:21 <MasterFred> Reduxed if no one wants to FAN it. 2013-09-22T02:28:26 <Toprawa> Um, I don't even know. I would imagine they are not immediately sent to FAN. 2013-09-22T02:28:34 <Toprawa> Since they are existing GAs already. 2013-09-22T02:28:36 <CC7567> in my memory, we don't even probe a GA for simply being over 1,000 words 2013-09-22T02:28:43 <MasterFred> ^ 2013-09-22T02:28:45 <CC7567> length is not grounds for probing 2013-09-22T02:28:51 <Toprawa> Go ahead, dogma. 2013-09-22T02:29:05 <Cade> No, I mean if an article that's being probed for other reasons is over 1,000. 2013-09-22T02:29:15 <CC7567> Cade: no, it still doesn't get removed 2013-09-22T02:29:19 <Cade> Alright. 2013-09-22T02:29:35 Isn't this a redux: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:Comprehensive_article_review#Galactic_Solutions_Industries ?

2013-09-22T02:31:22 <MasterFred> It could be turned into a redux. 2013-09-22T02:31:25 <Toprawa> Wait. 2013-09-22T02:31:27 we could use it for reduxs, escpecially if we are going to kill articles at these meetings 2013-09-22T02:31:30 <CC7567> I mean, moving on past the questions 2013-09-22T02:31:36 <Toprawa> IIRC, we agreed last meeting to do away with the review page, since we're not handling all of this at meetings. 2013-09-22T02:31:43 <Toprawa> But that review page can become the Redux page 2013-09-22T02:31:51 <Toprawa> we're now handling* 2013-09-22T02:31:56 <MasterFred> Per Tope 2013-09-22T02:32:04 <Cade> I'd prefer the Inq/AC way of reduxing 2013-09-22T02:32:12 <Cade> Though.... 2013-09-22T02:32:13 per Fred, who pered Tope 2013-09-22T02:32:14 <Toprawa> Well, the page would need to be overhauled 2013-09-22T02:32:17 <Cade> Hm. 2013-09-22T02:32:21 <Toprawa> it can be exactly like the other Redux pages 2013-09-22T02:32:26 <MasterFred> Yes. 2013-09-22T02:32:28 Sounds good 2013-09-22T02:32:35 <MasterFred> Our process works, so just make this the same. 2013-09-22T02:32:41 <Toprawa> Right 2013-09-22T02:32:45 <Toprawa> Ok, let's vote on doing all of this. 2013-09-22T02:32:54 <Cade> Wait, link to the GA redux 2013-09-22T02:33:13 <Cade> Nvm. 2013-09-22T02:33:13 <CC7567> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/WP:GAR 2013-09-22T02:33:22 <CC7567> never mind, that link doesn't exist 2013-09-22T02:33:25 <Cade> Wait. 2013-09-22T02:33:27 :P 2013-09-22T02:33:30 <Toprawa> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:AC/Redux_page 2013-09-22T02:33:39 <Cade> Reduxed FANs go the FAN page, no?
