Chat with Pacman

sorry; I was away for spring break. some other time? Pacman 10:20, 15 March 2007 (PDT)

Sure. I'm currently on spring break. I'll be back on Saturday. Perhaps we can speak on Sunday. Admin 13:38, 15 March 2007 (PDT)
As I mentioned below, I'll try to be online all day Sunday as AIM user wikicu. Admin 22:20, 17 March 2007 (PDT)

Logo voting

I voted on the logo. -- Puppyfury -- talk -- contributions 18:29, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

Oops! Sorry about that. Admin 18:30, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

Broken

The <ref></ref> designators aren't displaying properly on any of the pages. wang 11:21, 24 March 2007 (PDT)

Sorry about that. Everything is fixed now. (Short URLs weren't working either.) Admin 17:07, 24 March 2007 (EDT)
Something weird even happened to the logo; the transparency stopped working. I've fixed that too. These problems may have arisen when the site's server became unresponsive at around 6-7am this morning. Admin 17:11, 24 March 2007 (EDT)
Now the references come up as superscripted numbers within the article, but the corresponding link at the bottom of the page does not appear.
To make the references appear at the bottom of the page, you need to insert: <references /> Admin 12:49, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

Message for promising new users

I see you've made some useful contributions. If you plan on sticking around, perhaps you'd like admin privileges... so you can delete and move pages, block users, etc. No minimum commitment is expected or required. Let me know by leaving a message on this page. Admin 22:27, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Clubs

Let's keep one wiki page for students clubs. Basic clean 3 column table. Club name (as wiki link to article), contact e-mail, website. Merge SGB and ABC into one list. Let's keep the administrative nonsense out of this. Should we combine club sports in as well, or keep it seperate, or both (merge into the list and keep a seperate article?) Because I think it might be useful to have some List of articles as well (e.g. List of Student Publications). Cleaner and more customizable than category pages. Absentminded 23:46, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

I'm personally inclined just to use categories, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to have one big long list. It's better than the restaurant solution (ie, categorizing everything into a restaurants category and a sub-category). I'd say merge club sports into the one list. Then people can do a (Firefox) search for anything they're interested in.
I really don't think there's any need for more specialized lists such as a list of publications. Categories are fine for that.
If you want, we can each deal with one page. I can process ABC into a clean list, you can process SGB, and perhaps someone else will volunteer for Club Sports. Admin 23:51, 24 March 2007 (EDT)
Alright, I'll get on that soon. Absentminded 11:21, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

Using Columbia's GIF Maps

I've stuck one on the Ruggles Hall article. Take a look and see if we can come up with a better formatting solution.
