For discussion that doesn't fit into the other community pages - though do keep it related to the CWCki.

Anonymax is hereby a CWCki admin

Because I am far too STRESSED to constantly monitor CWCki like I use to, and because the CWCki has gotten larger, I hereby dub Anonymax a CWCki admin. May he use his powers for good, not evil. If you have problems, you can all stop bothering me bring your problems to him as well.--Champthom 20:10, 9 November 2010 (PST)

A booru for CWC-related fan art

Hi guys. I'm here to ask you a simple question.

There's a site out there that allows you to create a free "booru". A "booru" is an online gallery that anyone of its members can contribute to. Another "booru" feature is tagging: e.g., if you add a "rosechu" tag to all pictures featuring Rosechu; then, if you search for "rosechu", you'll find every pic with the "rosechu" tag; etc. It's quite a useful thing. Examples of "boorus": Danbooru, Gelbooru, Paheal (aka Rule 34).

I can create a booru (on the site I mentioned) for CWC-related fan art, for CWCkians to browse and contribute to. The question is, are CWCkians interested in this? That's what I want you guys to tell me.

P.S.: Btw, there's a lot of fan art pics on CWCki, and most of them aren't used in actual articles. If such a booru were to exist, all these pics could be safely deleted from the CWCki database, I reckon. --GokuGetEm 11:01, 10 November 2010 (PST)

Fan videos

I think we should limit the fan videos to 2 max per page, since thay are not really relevant and most of the time don't add much, take for example the "CWC fighter" page, currently it has 6 fan videos.--Basgon 11:18, 12 November 2010 (PST)

A counter for the main page

Since this is like the fifth time Chris has declared he's leaving the internet forever, do you think a counter could be added to DA Update? Like the old one which counted how many days he'd missed on his page a day schedule, it could count how many days he lasts before he uploads another video. Chris doesn't tend to last too long on these things but he did go for a month and a half over the summer without a video update and it might be interesting to see if he manages to beat his previous record. Whispsonichu 13:34, 22 November 2010 (PST)

That actually sounds like a pretty good idea. --BreadGod 13:59, 22 November 2010 (PST)

Chris has survived 5127 days without the Internet

• His latest quit attempt started on 22 November 2010
  
• His longest quit attempt lasted ?? days.
  
• He has unsuccessfully attempted to quit 5 times.
  

My initial idea for it. The tech for it works. --Anonymax 15:30, 22 November 2010 (PST)

• Oh wow, that looks really good. Whispsonichu 15:31, 22 November 2010 (PST)

I also have another suggestion to respectfully add to this. If the site has the available bandwidth and space, why not run a streaming news ticker across the front of the page under the CWCki banner, just before the main page articles? This is for when Chris "possibly" goes a longer length of time away from the internet. Say, 50 or 100 days goes by, it could say something like; "BREAKING NEWS: Chris has been away from the internet for 100 Days Now! A NEW RECORD!". Something to that effect, but I think that would be a fun idea. Maybe throw in some random quotes as well and factoids as well, much like the "Did you Know...", but do it as a streaming ticker. --Chris Pickles 00:12, 26 2010 (EST)

working on the Sonichu comic articles

They are way too fucking long. They need to be shortened down. Sonichu 9 for example. I mean fuck who is actually going to read that than just watch the audiobooks or some shit? -- Clyde 10:40, 4 December 2010 (PST)

• I took a crack at the #9 article. I think the problem with the pages for #9 and #10 is that users were updating the article as Chris was updating the comics on CWCipedia. So the summaries read like shit because it was a bunch of people tacking their reactions everytime Chris added new pages. Hopefully Sonichu 9 reads better now, even if it may not be short enough.Dethchemist77 17:18, 4 December 2010 (PST)

Chris, the Master of Disguise

is it worth creating a page detailing all the times chris has gone "undercover"? like the kacey call, junior jenkins, the emails where he pretended to be a teenage girl or whatever, and any time he pretended to be an "evil troll". i think his bizarre attempts to act like another person and believe he's fooling everyone provide good insight into how his mind works and how he sees the world. plus it's funny as fuck -- Acousticvirgin 15:53, 7 December 2010 (PST)

• I don't know. It sounds like a good idea with some potential....maybe we could make it a new addition of the Chris and Cosplay page? After all, that's what it is, in a sense.... --EdtheHedgehog1894 20:31, 7 December 2010 (PST)
  • Junior Jenkins isn't Chris jackass. Canine 23:41, 17 December 2010 (PST)
    • I think a seperate "Disguises" article would be a good idea. Cosplay doesn't cover his mentality when trying to be someone else. Don't forget Carlos the lover! Shock Waves 09:48, 21 February 2011 (PST)

Hey, I'm lazy

Can someone make a PSN tracker template or some shit for the front page? Basically, people will keep an eye on Chris' PSN activities and update the template. So something like "DATE - Fatty uploaded a new cart to modnation racers. Go downvote it now!".

Or something. Whatever. Canine 15:57, 20 December 2010 (PST)

• I would refrain from using language like "fatty" and any concrete trolling plan in response but given the amount of time Chris spends on the PS3, it is worth documenting. There's a requested template award in for it.--Champthom 17:21, 20 December 2010 (PST)
• If only such a template existed/was updated regularly. It would be especially useful if it were updated by someone reliable, such as Clydec. I guess we'll just have to keep hoping. (It isn't a template though. FUCKING WRITE ON HIS TALK PAGE GOD DAMN). Freecell 17:41, 20 December 2010 (PST)

The CWCki Quality Review

I've gotten some complaints about the quality of the CWCki. Now I haven't really noticed anything super bad but this is something I hear from some people and I think that given the CWCki's second anniversary is coming up next week, we should have a frank open discussion about article quality and think of ways to address it.

I encourage everyone who uses the CWCki to offer their feedback so we can maintain the high quality standards we set for the CWCki.

So, I ask you all this - how is the CWCki doing? What do you think of article quality? How could it improve? --Champthom 13:47, 18 January 2011 (PST)

1) I think the top priority for the CWCki in Year Three is to organize the content we already have. MachPunch has been kicking ass sorting videos and saga-related content, and I think that's the sort of thing we need right now. For example, Chris was working on a novel last year, and most people probably forgot all about it, because the details are buried in the Wallflower E-mails, instead of being presented in their own article. We have a lot of raw information here, and I think part of the CWCki's role should be to digest those primary sources, so a reader can get the highlights without having to pore over hours of chatlogs or sift through weeks' worth of e-mails. Dethchemist77 14:59, 18 January 2011 (PST)

2) The second priority needs to be to crack down on namefaggotry going on around here. I don't object to personalizing one's user page, or using the user talk pages, but lately it feels like that's all some users do around here. The emphasis needs to be on the articles, not introducing yourself and your agenda to the community. Conversely, it annoys me when users add useless shit to articles, as if making any contribution at all increases their wiki XP or something. I'm thinking specifically of those dumb "reaction shot" images, but the same can be said for excessive piping, speculation, or anything where quality takes a back seat to quantity. In moderation, the reaction shot images could be funny, but mostly they just felt like someone was trying too hard. Dethchemist77 14:59, 18 January 2011 (PST)

Just a small complaint really, (Since DethChemist already hit all the truly necessary points) but I think some further research is required on some pages. For example, the Zapina article says (paraphrasing from memory) that while still a shitty character, Zapina hasn't really ripped off another character. I took one look at Zapina and realized that she's a transgendered version of obscure (And almost-universally disliked) Sonic character Charmy Bee, with a lightbulb in her ass instead of a stinger and the head traded out for Sonichu's. (Why Chris would do this is just... I dunno, really, but it IS Chris.) Anyway, just a reminder that maybe some further research is required on some articles. DJChaos 15:18, 7 February 2011 (PST)

JenkinsJinkies Articles

Coffee Place and Amanda articles need to be dealt with. I'd suggest that the Coffee Place article become a subsection of List of Christian's edits to the CWCki and become a redirect, while the Amanda article just be deleted. Freecell 22:30, 30 January 2011 (PST)

• Coffee Place article should be preserved as it is a historical document in its own worth. Perhaps Amanda could be incorporated into Burger King?--Champthom 22:08, 4 February 2011 (PST)
  • You should add a disclaimer or header to the Coffee Place article mentioning that it was written by Chris. --Thorgnzorrg 20:52, 14 February 2011 (PST)

Foreign languages

While there's always work to be done on the CWCki, since there probably won't be new Chris related content for a while, I was wondering how many CWCkians are proficient in foreign languages. It may be an interesting endeavor and perhaps could work with [{TheCWCvilleLibrary]] to create subtitles for all of Chris's videos. That way, all the world can know of Chris's failings.

I think Spanish should be the first language, but I'm curious if this is feasible given the current user base. Thoughts?--Champthom 22:08, 4 February 2011 (PST)

• I've taken French as a second language class for 7 years and I've done two French immersion courses. If it's necessary, I can do that. I'm not sure how useful it would be, though. Is it just adding subtitles to videos, or is it translating the entire wiki into a foreign language? If it's the latter, there's no point in trying. If it's the former, there are still diminishing returns. I've been to France a few times and there are very few people there who can't speak English pretty well, and most can read it even better. The only French people I've met who couldn't speak or read any English were those in Aix, and they barely even have computers there. It would be a very small group of people that this would appeal to. If anything, they should be translated to a west/east Asian or Far-East European language, as it's much less common for them to speak English. Freecell 05:23, 5 February 2011 (PST)
• Spanish is my first language, so I could work on those subtitles if you decide you need them. Cesare 14:11, 7 February 2011 (PST)
• I could do Polish, as it's my mother tongue. LittlePigBlanket 00:48, 17 February 2011 (PST)
• It's really great to hear some responses, I've brought up the topic of subtitles here which could use some discussion. Freecell does make a good point that a Asian or Far-Eastern European (what constitutes that BTW?) language would help reach the wider audience though the problem is that I'm skeptical if there's anyone into Chris trolling is competent in these languages. I've thought about translating Chris's comics but that would be a bit more difficult as any translation would work, but first I think we need to work on getting the comics on the CWCki in the first place. Anyways, there's some good potential here. --Champthom 15:11, 17 February 2011 (PST)
• My mother tongue's Cantonese, maybe I can do Chinese? Tell me exactly what to do and I'll find time to do it. Sidre 00:05, 22 February 2011 (PST)

improvement project proposal

http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Special:AllPages

http://sonichu.com/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=%22Damian+Antaria%22%2C+PLEASE%2C+Don%27t+Leave+Me+-+I+NEED+YOU!!!&to=9+October+2009&namespace=0

Every article needs to be improved. This must be a notice on every page for people to start taking dumb shit out of articles. Video articles should be locked once it's in its final form. If people want to make changes, they'll have to go through the talk page. Pages need to be approved by a mod before we can move onto the next set on the AllPages Special page.

The project will start from all the non-alphabet characters.

-- Clyde 15:29, 9 February 2011 (PST)

• While you're free to edit pages as you deem fit, I will not lock pages as pages can always be improved as you nor anyone else is the end all final word of Chris. --Champthom 16:09, 9 February 2011 (PST)
• Another thing, I think one way you can help maintain your standards of quality is to edit the style guide and you're welcome to establish expectations for articles and general style. I think that would be a very good way of you and your other Improvement Team members to really help the CWCki.--Champthom 16:30, 9 February 2011 (PST)

Uploading the comics

I think one of the few faults with the CWCki is that at current, we don't have the Sonichu comics on the site. True, they're on the CWCipedia mirror but I believe those constitute the retconned comics with altered names.

Therefore, I'm offering a Gold Star Bounty to anyone who contributes to uploading every Sonichu comic, original and retconned versions, onto the CWCki and incorporated them into the article. Obviously these are primary sources from Chris and should be on the CWCki itself so CWCki users can use them for research purposes and that sort of thing. --Champthom 11:39, 1 March 2011 (PST)

I was thinking about this yesterday when I saw that 789chan thread. I don't have anything planned this afternoon so I guess I can upload them. Should this get its own article, or should they be put as galleries in the existing Sonichu Comic articles? Freecell (t/c) 11:55, 1 March 2011 (PST)

• I think galleries on the respective comic pages would make the most sense, no? --Champthom 15:19, 1 March 2011 (PST)

Episode 0 done. I'm thinking I should upload the files and also link to a .zip file download in the appropriate article so that people can download the whole issue. Once I'm done I guess I'll make a .zip for all of the issues in one. Freecell (t/c) 12:14, 1 March 2011 (PST)

I'll do more later. I'm just going to change the download locations because I forgot to make them .zip files. Freecell (t/c) 13:35, 1 March 2011 (PST)

• For those who wish to contribute, my dear friend Gecko made .rar files of the comics here and here. I think this covers up to issue 7. --Champthom 16:12, 1 March 2011 (PST)

• Okay, so looks like Freecell uploaded iussues 0 and 1, while I've uploaded 2 and 3. Not sure how to do 4 as I know a lot of of the subepisodes are already on the CWCki somewhere but maybe we should upload them anyway. In any case, do contribute, it'll help the CWCki and it'll get you a sweet userbox. --Champthom 17:04, 1 March 2011 (PST)
