This Day in Christory

i've added a new section to the front page that displays a message based on the day of the year. to add more stuff, read this and then make a page that follows this format:

• Template:Christory/(Month in words) (Day in numbers, less than 10 padded with zeros)

for example:

• Template:Christory/October 01
• Template:Christory/November 23

i'd like it if someone could add a huge list of all the possible entries to the bottom of Template:Christory(within the noinclude tags, of course) so it's easier to tell which have been made already and which haven't --cogsdev/vedsgoc 01:51, 1 November 2009 (CET)

• I created the list for November. So gais, whenever you have time, pleas scroll trough the CWChronology and start eliminating the blue links on the list. Oh, and if a certain date doesn't have anything happening on it, just leave it blank, and hope that Chris does something funny on it this year. :3 RachmaninovDESU 22:47, 1 November 2009 (CET)
  • Considering Cogsdev wants a huge list of all possible entries, is it OK for measly commoners such as myself to start adding some of the other months? i.e. December onwards. Xentrilus 00:28, 3 November 2009 (CET)
    • Oh sure I guess, it's a hell of a job, and any work we do on it now we won't have to do in the future. :3 RachmaninovDESU 01:43, 3 November 2009 (CET)
    • please do whatever days you like, there's no restrictions --cogsdev/vedsgoc 03:31, 3 November 2009 (CET)

IRC Formatting

Has anyone got all the IRC chat logs in their original format? I want to write a script that will output them in a format like on this page. If there's a few different formats it doesn't matter, I just want the raw text files as they were before being uploaded and formatted. --Ed Kelly 05:21, 1 November 2009 (CET)

• canine probably does, i'll direct him here --cogsdev/vedsgoc 05:32, 1 November 2009 (CET)
  • uhh... yeah, pm me on rizon, i'm canine Canine 06:13, 1 November 2009 (CET)

Titles of Videos should just be whatever Chris put down

unless he put down just a date or just ECV then we should either use the quotable line that most people will remember or...something this is getting too confusing for me. Clydec 00:06, 2 November 2009 (CET)

examples- 10252009 For Kacey should just be For Kacey [[For Chris II] should just be For Chris No 2

many of the captain's log that don't explicitly say CAPTAN'S ROG should really be retitled to something more descriptive. i know champ you want to use the Captain's ROGARU for every video he "addresses" to the fans, but who gives a shit. if chris gave a shit to say caputanaRU'S LOGARUUUUU then it must have been important enough for CHRIS so stuff. and stuff. AND STUFF AND STUF FCUCKSE YUSEIJYALRKAW YIHOJBNIUO^ $NYB(& Clydec 00:40, 2 November 2009 (CET)

• I've held similar concerns for a while. Now that I have jerkop privileges, I'm trying to sort all of that stuff out as best I can. Giving articles for Chris's videos sensible titles is currently my top priority!
• As for "For Kacey" in particular, you'll notice that Chris has essentially called two videos "For Kacey". One of them is 10252009 For Kacey, and the other is the earlier For Kacey from CWC. Thus, it'd be somewhat rash to re-title 10252009 For Kacey "For Kacey". Really, 10252009 For Kacey should be re-titled "For Kacey II", and the earlier For Kacey from CWC should be re-titled "For Kacey". In fact, I'll make those changes right now. :3
• Keep in mind that re-directs from official titles are automatically being generated whenever I move a page, so nothing's being screwed up in that respect. And I keep the official titles, bolded, in the lead sentences of their respective pages. Everything should be A-okay. Llort 01:47, 2 November 2009 (CET)

• Llort gives a shit. Or at least someone was very hardcore about this shit a few months ago and I'm like "fine dude, so be it." Also, people had their say when we discussed this a few months ago. But using a memorable line may be a good idea, similar to "THAT IS MY HOUSE" though people have different ideas of "memorable" lines. --Champthom 01:49, 2 November 2009 (CET)

• That "For Kacey from CWC" video should remain what it is, as it's different from "For Kacey" and maybe make a note about it on each page, to clarify it for people. --Champthom 01:52, 2 November 2009 (CET)

• Well, I was re-naming the second "For Kacey" as "For Kacey II" to clear up the confusion. I'd like "For Kacey from CWC" to remain simply "For Kacey" for that reason, but I don't think it wise to revert your reversion of my move unless you give me a thumbs-up to that effect! Llort 01:56, 2 November 2009 (CET)

• But they're different. One is "For Kacey", another one is "For Kacey from CWC." Two different things. One has "from CWC" to it. No less confusing than adding "For Kacey II." Also, in the event Chris makes another video with the same name, maybe make it "Video title (date)" with date for each video. --Champthom 02:33, 2 November 2009 (CET)

Okay I change my mind. If Chris does a stupid nondescript title like 09205398 or Update September 2008 or some bullshit, change it, make note of the original title but yeah. Clydec 20:06, 3 November 2009 (CET)

Original Video Titles

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of the original titles that Chris has used for all of his YouTube videos? If not, does anyone have a way to at least find out those titles, especially for Chris's oldest videos and his newer ones that've been taken down? I'm trying to fix up a bunch of page titles, but I'll need that info where it's no longer readily available. Any help would be much appreciated! Llort 00:04, 3 November 2009 (CET)

• no www.youtube.com/cchan6789 for a few of them. most of them are gone though :( Clydec 19:54, 3 November 2009 (CET)

• That sucks. I've been working through the CChan6789 videos slowly but surely; it's too bad to hear that most of the titles for videos even earlier than those are likely lost forever. :( Llort 22:28, 3 November 2009 (CET)

• Try some of the other CWC video archive channels on YouTube. They tend to use the original titles whereas Arjen and TheCWCvilleLibrary opted for clever titles (like "The Realization"). --Champthom 22:58, 3 November 2009 (CET)

• Thanks, Clyde. I'm with you now that the "Captain's Log" titles need to go. I'll take these suggestions of yours into consideration when I get around to actually making said name changes, but I won't start that process until I've done a bit more digging into the original titles. While I figured that you would be my best bet, a partial list could still turn up from some unlikely place! Llort 23:06, 3 November 2009 (CET)
