WI templates
I redid the weigh in templates so that is purely just source code and the other templates simply give the specific image, name, and location of the person. I thought this would make formatting a little easier now that only one edit is needed to widen/rearrange the tables. I don't think this will cause any problems but if so, it can obviously be reverted. I also thought it would be nice since anyone could potentially make a new persona without needing to make a new template right away. Edit: Also, the  s at the top in template:weighin are so that they all align below one another uniformly rather than sporadically all over the place. --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 16:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks good, now I guess we should come up with some topics to have for slow news days and launch this sucker!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 17:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * few questions...


 * Are we going to stick with titles or names? I liked the titles but I didn't know what your intention was.


 * What sort of topics are we talkin about here? Two cents seems to go with the typical assortment of trivial questions of life wisdom mixed in with minor commentary-esque topics for the average joe. I think unrelated non-iraq issues are an untapped source of humor that could possibly give this page a different angle.
 * Were you planning on placing the issue of the story in the form of a question or a general "[insert brief summery of issue]... whats your opinion?"


 * --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 19:22, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Titles v Names We can try first name, last initial to give it that informal feel. But maybe we can put both?  Like: Rush L., radio personality?
 * Topics I was thinking about anything goes. Iraq-related, non-Iraq-related, anything goes.  Sort of like a SomethingAwful.com forum (heh)...
 * Form of Issue Same as topics, whatever we need to make it work. Some issues can be posted as flamebait, similar to push-polls ("If you knew John McCain had a black baby, would this effect your opinion of him?")  Others can be fill-in-the-blank stuff, like: "My favorite part of Christmas is..."--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 19:32, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Need yer advice
Can you take a look at something on my "stuff" page that resembles the beginnings of a help article. If it works out well, I'm considering calling it something like "Wikiality: Writing Techniques."

So if you could just take a look at it and see what you think (the good/the bad) and if you think anything should be added on, shortened up, etc. I think its a long ways away from being anything worthy of being called a policy. --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 17:27, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, "policy" is more or less something the admins came up with, LOL!


 * It looks good, infact, it reads as if you did some research (cough, cough) shame on you, j/k. I am fine with it, I say people should have more information, they can pick and choose what they will use.  At least they can't say they weren't given the opportunity to read the stuff.  In fact, uncyc will ban people because they don't read the helpful hints pages, LOL.  They have a tag that makes fun of the person and tells them they are banned until they do read it!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 22:00, 7 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'm still gonna work on it a little bit to make it a little more original and not as researchy. I just figured the suggestions page could only provide a limited amount of help in FAQ form. --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 15:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Awards
Are we doing something like this this yet? ...i thought you mentioned something about best featured the other day....--GlennBecksATool (talk) 03:48, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know, but one of the articles was voted for feature and no one has moved it to the front page. Our MC has been AWOL (most likely school) and I have too much to take on one more thing!  I don't want to suggest it when we have no one who can do it.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 03:57, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Molech Picture Please?
Could you find pictures of Molech?

Clubhouse
I was just trying to start up a few pages mostly just to have something in there that somebody could edit/add to/remove later. I'm still trying think of things that can be used as content like youtube videos and what not. I still might do the Liberal Watchers one or one other clubhouse but i figured the American, Jesus, and tek jansen ones could be left for another day for someone with enough balls and creative wit. And what do you think about linking to the specific clubhouses in the userboxes? --GlennBecksATool (talk) 04:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm...never thought about that one, sounds like a good idea. I was thinking maybe (if it's not too much work) maybe we can use just plain "Clubhouse" instead of "Wikiality:Clubhouse:"--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 04:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

that shouldn't be too bad--GlennBecksATool (talk) 04:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If you feel like it's something you want to take on, or if you feel it's a good idea, go for it! I'm going to have to see if we're going to do "Feature of the year"...--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 04:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)


 * "Clubhouse" or "Clubhouses" ...Yeah, I was going to stop there and see what you thought. So basically you want the root page changed to"Clubhouse"? or should I redirect it to the current root page? Also, do you think the category should be "Daily Show Club" or "Clubhouses: Daily Show"--GlennBecksATool (talk) 08:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok so double checking here...


 * Clubhouse
 * Clubhouse: Tds
 * Clubhouse: Homo
 * Clubhouse: etc...

No subpages, just a main clubhouse page with links to each clubhouse.


 * I would take it a step beyond by asking if it should be the full name rather than initials but clubs like Boozers, Users, and Losers would make that a mess. --GlennBecksATool (talk) 08:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Improving Pages
Has anyone suggested making anything like this yet:

I noticed we already have Help:Starting a new page and Wikiality:Improving Pages could more or less be our equivalent of "Develop the article"

anyway, just wanting to get your thoughts--GlennBecksATool (talk) 06:13, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


 * We started something like that, but it didn't get past the idea stage. We couldn't figure out what to use:
 * Colbert College, which became
 * Truthiness University, which didn't go anywhere, but
 * military rankings was tried for a moment before becoming
 * religious ranks (pope, priest, altar boy, etc) another dead end idea.


 * We tried to use the "clubhouses" in the way other wikis used "portals". But, instead of being about a topic or field, it would be about the users and their similar interests.


 * Which of course went no where, LOL. but, it really isn't that funny.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 06:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Thats horribly saddening.

Well, I figured there would be a lot of things that had been rejected in the past. I think the clubhouses thing wouldn't have caught on unless we had an active user group the size of uncyclopedia. Mostly because, as a n00b, it appeared to be primarily a user community thing rather than also a portal project for a genre of articles. But i don't see why it couldn't still catch on.

Though, the inability for the path to improving articles to catch on is clearly clinton's fault.--GlennBecksATool (talk) 07:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


 * We did have an active user group and quite a few visitors, albeit not the size of uncyc's. However, I fear that the majority of our users were students and wikis aren't as easy to use as myspace or facebook, which is where I believe they were instead...but I still have faith that once we hit our 10k mark we will be able to build our base!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 07:36, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

oh yes, how could i forget about the permanent super-bases. I think a fair amount of the members in this myface demographic are going to go where ever everyone else is going. Its a little bit like hierarchy applied to personal interest. On the other hand, theres also the type that enjoy things which are authentic, seemingly without limitations and don't appear to have diluted itself/lost its edge or sold out, regardless of whether it gets major site traffic or not. And...as a result of averages...i expect to always find someone seeing the content as gay, stupid, lame, or out of date in some way. You can't make all those shitheads happy. --GlennBecksATool (talk) 08:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Thankstruthing Reply
Thank you for the Thanksgiving greetings; as you are aware, we Canadians celebrated Turkey Day on October 8... I will assume your tardy message was due to the slow processing of the US E-Mail Postal Service.

Where have I been? Glad to answer a question you never asked. I have been consulting with investment bankers to stem the flow of subprime mortgages north of the the 49th parallel. Thank Christ (The Baby Jesus) we have to finance our houses here the traditional way... copulating Cousin Bertha to gain a share of the family dowry. After a failed first attempt I turned her around (hard to tell front from back) and she is now impregnated. Hallelujia!

Weigh In
Do you want them just left in order or categorized? I had thought about categorizing them (in numberic order) with those categories you already listed but the problem with that is if we ever change/add anyone new, the numbering would be instantly off. --GlennBecksATool (talk) 21:42, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I only made the categories to see what we had and add any that were missing. I was trying to make sure we had enough "extremist" points of view to have an interesting conversation (cough)--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 22:04, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * What do you think about the template itself? Can it be made easier?


 * I'm just worried if somethings too abstract and takes longer than 6-10 seconds to understand, it'll get passed over. --GlennBecksATool (talk) 22:07, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You're right we have to make it simple, we've had the problem with the "cards". Compare the Valentine's Day Card "game" to the Give Thanks for Stephen "game".  So, simplest is best...I have to admit I haven't looked at since you made it, will look again.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 03:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Since I'm already making a template for each image, should I just make a full template for each person? Then names and locations could be specific for each person.

The difference would basically be instead of typing, it would now be  ...is that easier?

Also, is the talk page going to be used for directions or will that be placed on the main page or subdirectory page?--GlennBecksATool (talk) 05:58, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the fewer times you ask people to type that vertical bar, the better.


 * I was so tempted to jump in--you're doing an amazing job with this, keep up the good work!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 06:06, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

crazy effin' time warp
are you having issues with the recent changes page? After a few page refreshes, the most recent edits after "02:01 Keith Olbermann" are not listed. --GlennBecksATool (talk) 18:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Is this too random?
Um, I've been doing some editing, so that the names of various Wiccan writers are now re-directs to "Satan," except for Zsuzsanna Budapest, who redirects to "lesbian." Is that too random for anyone other than me to get?

Thanks
Thanks for all the stuff you're doing for my stubs. Hope I'm not going overboard. Are you an admin, BTW?

No prob. I'm actually an anthropology and religion major at college. It's nice to be in a place where I can write truthy information without all these alleged "facts" about how Islam was historically more tolerant than Christianity, and evolution being scientifically proven, that my teachers and books keep attempting to force on me. My gut knows better!

Wikiality is a fag enabling site
You at wikiality have repeatedly censored the gospel message of Westboro Baptist Church. We have warned you, you need our message. Now wikiality is doomed, irreversibly like Sodom and Gommorah. And everyone associated with wikiality is headed straight for hell.

Gods gonna make fun of you
And throw you in hell if you don't make a page with Matthew Sheppard in hell.

Fag Furnace!
Gays go to hell. Why do you think Jesus called it Gayhenna? Its the fag furnace!

Westboro Baptist Church
Whats with the fag pope ass kissing?

Westboro
Westboro: Why is this site filled with so much false prophet ass kissing?

Thanks
Thanks for the encouragement! I think I am pretty much finished with the Secretary Alphonso Jackson page. I went ahead and put it on the sound advice page. Let me know if you have any suggestions! -brent 10/31/2007

Template Help
Hey, I'm making sort of a mock up of a web 2.0 template to be used on pages like Blogger, Youtube or MyFace.com...etc...(sort of like ) At first I was going to do the usual and set random images on either side that are synonymous with the internet, but thats sooo old school media...so I've decided to try and have relatively sort youtube videos instead of images on either side of the text. The problem is, I'm having a hard time getting embedded youtube videos to align (left/right) the same way we normally do images... any ideas? --GlennBecksATool (talk) 22:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Heres sort of what I was thinking. These probably aren't the videos I'd use and theres a lot of work to be done to make it smaller and more attractive but basically I'd like to have two videos/gifs on either side with the same text in the center and a random quote below that... similar to what you'd find in the comments section on youtube or a message board. I'd also like to have the videos and/or gifs set to a random shuffle...--GlennBecksATool (talk) 23:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I Am an Op-Ed Columnist (And So Can You!)
I Am an Op-Ed Columnist (And So Can You!) By STEPHEN COLBERT

Surprised to see my byline here, aren’t you? I would be too, if I read The New York Times. But I don’t. So I’ll just have to take your word that this was published. Frankly, I prefer emoticons to the written word, and if you disagree :(

I’d like to thank Maureen Dowd for permitting/begging me to write her column today. As I type this, she’s watching from an overstuffed divan, petting her prize Abyssinian and sipping a Dirty Cosmotinijito. Which reminds me: Before I get started, I have to take care of one other bit of business:

Bad things are happening in countries you shouldn’t have to think about. It’s all George Bush’s fault, the vice president is Satan, and God is gay.

There. Now I’ve written Frank Rich’s column too.

So why I am writing Miss Dowd’s column today? Simple. Because I believe the 2008 election, unlike all previous elections, is important. And a lot of Americans feel confused about the current crop of presidential candidates.

For instance, Hillary Clinton. I can’t remember if I’m supposed to be scared of her so Democrats will think they should nominate her when she’s actually easy to beat, or if I’m supposed to be scared of her because she’s legitimately scary.

Or Rudy Giuliani. I can’t remember if I’m supposed to support him because he’s the one who can beat Hillary if she gets nominated, or if I’m supposed to support him because he’s legitimately scary.

And Fred Thompson. In my opinion “Law & Order” never sufficiently explained why the Manhattan D.A. had an accent like an Appalachian catfish wrestler.

Well, suddenly an option is looming on the horizon. And I don’t mean Al Gore (though he’s a world-class loomer). First of all, I don’t think Nobel Prizes should go to people I was seated next to at the Emmys. Second, winning the Nobel Prize does not automatically qualify you to be commander in chief. I think George Bush has proved definitively that to be president, you don’t need to care about science, literature or peace.

While my hat is not presently in the ring, I should also point out that it is not on my head. So where’s that hat? (Hint: John McCain was seen passing one at a gas station to fuel up the Straight Talk Express.)

Others point to my new bestseller, “I Am America (And So Can You!)” noting that many candidates test the waters with a book first. Just look at Barack Obama, John Edwards or O. J. Simpson.

Look at the moral guidance I offer. On faith: “After Jesus was born, the Old Testament basically became a way for Bible publishers to keep their word count up.” On gender: “The sooner we accept the basic differences between men and women, the sooner we can stop arguing about it and start having sex.” On race: “While skin and race are often synonymous, skin cleansing is good, race cleansing is bad.” On the elderly: “They look like lizards.”

Our nation is at a Fork in the Road. Some say we should go Left; some say go Right. I say, “Doesn’t this thing have a reverse gear?” Let’s back this country up to a time before there were forks in the road — or even roads. Or forks, for that matter. I want to return to a simpler America where we ate our meat off the end of a sharpened stick.

Let me regurgitate: I know why you want me to run, and I hear your clamor. I share Americans’ nostalgia for an era when you not only could tell a man by the cut of his jib, but the jib industry hadn’t yet fled to Guangdong. And I don’t intend to tease you for weeks the way Newt Gingrich did, saying that if his supporters raised $30 million, he would run for president. I would run for 15 million. Cash.

Nevertheless, I am not ready to announce yet — even though it’s clear that the voters are desperate for a white, male, middle-aged, Jesus-trumpeting alternative.

What do I offer? Hope for the common man. Because I am not the Anointed or the Inevitable. I am just an Average Joe like you — if you have a TV show.

I started a "Breaking News" story for Gore's Nobel (by "started" I mean I basically mean there's a placeholder there marking the fact that we should have a story for it).

Video Excerpts
Have you looked at the video submission think on makemeamerica.com. I got this passage:


 * If he admits to any foreign ties, it’s to having a hunting estate at Skilbo Castle in Scotland. And that’s it.  No parades.  No crazy hat dances.  His only clubs are ones like “The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club” whose manmade, trout-stuffed lake burst through its damn leaving 2,200 dead in one of the greatest floods in American history, the Johnstown Flood of 1889.  Sad event, great social club.  Over 60 millionaires, and that was back when a trolley ride cost a penny.

Hey. I left notes for the people who updated our blog letting them know that I will be "back on duty."

 * and (3) if they feel compelled to continue, why they would feel that way...
 * Apparently they are admins from other wikis and have the "authority" to edit any wikia wiki...seems a bit strange to go around and start representin' other pages, though.
