==Categorizing videos - POLICY TYPE VOTE==
| align=center |
 
{| class="wikitable"
When I normally establish some sort of policy, I try to be like a judge and using precedent (like Wikipedia guidelines) to establish some sort of ruling in our situation, like about notability for trolls and people like that.
|-
 
! colspan=3 | Navigation
However, I feel for a policy with categorizing videos is in order and we can discuss this in a democratic fashion.
|-
 
| align=center | [[CWCki:News]]
The problem currently is that sometimes people will make videos for articles or it'll be hard to find videos because they'll erroneously be entitled "Captain's Log" when they're really just addressed to one person. For instance, [[CWC to Mr. Miyamoto-san]] was erroneously titled "Captain's Log, Stardate January 17th, 2009." Chris did not start the video with "Captain's Log" nor was he addressing his fanbase (two traits of a typical "Captain's Log" video). There are other videos like this, videos that really aren't Captain's Log but being attributed as such, even though they're really private messages to people.

| align=center | [[CWCki:Policy]]
I forget where this discussion arose but the current was based on this problem - Chris is usually too lazy to give his videos title, so you get videos like ECV 00095" which means nothing to someone trying to find the video. Personally, I proposed that we use AVDierten's names for the videos like "The Realization", "The Beginning", etc. The complaint was that it was too opinionated, focusing mostly on what Arjen was thinking and not so much about the video itself. So, instead, we pretty much called any video Chris made a Captain's Log. Problem is, that this was when Chris's videos were mostly addressed to his fans and that on a rare occasion would a video addressing someone would come out. In addition, I don't think it should be called a Captain's Log unless he says "Captain's Log" (though his earlier videos were in this format yet he doesn't use the phrase).
|-
 
| align=center | [[CWCki:Help]]
Of course, since then, we have a whole category of videos. Some are videos intended solely for someone. Some are leaked videos acquired by trolls. Some are just Chris doing weird and stupid shit. Things have changed and so has our system of categorizing.
| align=center | [[CWCki:Technical]]
 
| align=center | [[CWCki:General]]
So let's discuss a better way of categorizing videos. In my personal opinion, I think Arjen's names for the videos should be used considering they're the "standard" and a troll will usually know which video you mean if you cite "The Realization" or "Chrissy Lies Through His Fangs." We could find a way to slightly tweak the current system. Or we could just stick with whatever Chris names the videos.

The possibilities are endless. Put your thoughts here and let's try and come up with a new system. Discussion ends in one week, 12 June 2009. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 21:58, 5 June 2009 (CEST)

*I agree for the most part. The videos categorised under "The Captain's Log" should be solely that - logs and updates by Chris on his life, not ones such as the Miyamoto video or ones to Ivy. [[User:Sonicow|Sonicow]] 02:22, 6 June 2009 (CEST)

==English usage?==
While I think we can agree we won't use Moonspeak here, but what about English usage? Could we use American English because a majority of trolls are American? I don't mean to be an Amerifag but it's annoying as hell to add unnecessary vowels to words when spellcheck says it's wrong. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 07:25, 27 January 2009 (CET)
 
if there is an american english setting, i can't find it, the language code is simply "en" for english... i didn't even know mediawiki featured a spellcheck system, i thought that was my browser --[[User:Cogsdev|cogsdev/vedsgoc]] 10:53, 27 January 2009 (CET)
**Err, that's what I mean, with Firefox. I use Firefox and everything comes up misspelled when I see words like "colour" and such. It's not a huge ordeal, and I know Wikipedia uses British English but I think we should stick to American English. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 10:02, 28 January 2009 (CET)
***I refuse to use anything less than the TRUE and ORIGINAL English. It's a minor point anyway, but I don't see any real reason to stop spelling things correctly. --[[User:ZAPPED|ZAPPED]] 14:59, 2 February 2009 (CET)
 
I, for one, have no problem seeing either being used interchangingly. Although I write American, I'm cool with whatever version. [[User:Da Nuke|Da_Nuke]] 05:20, 25 February 2009 (CET)
 
:Well I'll say since the TRUE and ORIGINAL Sonichu creator, [[Jimmy Hill]] is English...  I'd say whatever the fuck you want to spell it seems right, bith are acceptable forms of ENGLISH spelling.--[[User:UncleBastard|UncleBastard]] 05:35, 25 February 2009 (CET)
 
since the vast majority of our users are americans, it's best that we use american english in the articles. --[[User:Cogsdev|cogsdev/vedsgoc]] 05:30, 17 March 2009 (CET)
*SO SHALL IT BE WRITTEN, SO SHALL IT BE DONE. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 16:33, 17 March 2009 (CET)
 
==Possessive of Chris==
It's Chris's. From the very first page of Skunk & White's "Elements of Style", third edition:
''1. Form the possessive singular of nouns by adding 's.  <br/>''
''Follow this rule whatever the final consonant. Thus write <br/>:''
''Charles's friend <br/>''
''Burns's poems <br/>''''
''the witch's malice <br/>''
''Exceptions are the possessives of ancient proper names in -es and -is, the possessive Jesus' and such'' ''form as for conscience' sake, for righteousness' sake.'' --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 02:09, 7 February 2009 (CET)
 
==Ages?==
Has there ever been a page concerning the warped ages of the Sonichu comic.  Because they're really fucked up.--[[User:gourmetpickle|gourmetpickle]]
*Do it. It could be incorporated into an existing article, most likely [[Sonichu 8]] would be a good spot, but yeah, it'd be a good thing to discuss, both the age change thing and how some Rosechus are older even though the only known ones were made during the rainbow thing. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 02:55, 9 March 2009 (CET)
 
==If Chris ever found CWCki==
Since this was discussed in Mumble - I think Chris's mind would be blown at the size of the Wiki, documenting every single thing about him and everything he cares about, but I think there's a good chance he'd say "IT'S ALL LIES AND SLANDER!" I think there's a 5% chance he'd get an account and try and edit shit, then we'd be like "OH CHRIS, LOL." --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 05:28, 18 March 2009 (CET)
*i hope he'd add to it and try to portray himself in a more positive way. although we aren't that harsh to chris on here, now that i think about it --[[User:Cogsdev|cogsdev/vedsgoc]] 22:23, 24 March 2009 (CET)
*His input would be valuable going by the precedence he set from the ED article. [[User:Mall Conductor Bear|Mall Conductor Bear]] 07:46, 1 May 2009 (CEST)
 
==Suggestions for Featured Articles==
I've been adding them lately to feature articles that I think are really good, but so far I've run out of ideas what to feature that are interesting in a "Huh, I did not know about that" way and have lots of information. I felt like changing the new one to [[Rosechu]] mostly because I ran out of ideas and not to mention I couldn't get [[Fail]] or [[Yawning Squirtle]] to go with a nice format for the front page.
 
Anyways, as I'd rather avoid pages I've extensively worked on, leave suggestions for pages you think should be featured here. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 02:55, 25 March 2009 (CET)
*Don't worry about wether you've worked on them or not. Worry about wether they are fun to read and if they will make people interested in reading the wiki. :3 (and I'll be thinking about featured articles) [[User:RachmaninovDESU|RachmaninovDESU]] 11:39, 29 March 2009 (CEST)
 
==The Scrapbook==
 
[[PandaHalo]] has finally delivered and she has delivered us the [[Scrapbook of Fail]], scanned. These are high res scans (well, better than the the images we have now) and I will be uploading all of it here. In the process, I will remove the lower res images since they're shitty images he got from his PSP from images from his computer. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 03:42, 25 March 2009 (CET)
 
==Something buggy with the site==
[http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcki/index.php?title=IRC_%2820_January_2009%29&curid=1408&diff=9837&oldid=5104 This diff on this site] gets some bug and won't show the diff. --[[User:Ritegroic|Ritegroic]] 14:46, 13 April 2009 (CEST)
*It's not a bug, it's either PHP or MySQL timing out because the page is gigantic. There's not really much that can be done about it as long as the site's hosted on 110mb. --[[User:Tumbleweed|Tumbleweed]] 22:43, 13 April 2009 (CEST)
 
==Audio Recording Transcriptions==
These definitely need to be done for the mumble and psn chats, either that, or brief summaries for each so you know what you're downloading. --[[User:Tumbleweed|Tumbleweed]] 22:41, 13 April 2009 (CEST)
*There quite a few summaries of these in the corresponding PVCC threads. That does mean getting it from the old database I believe, because they changed forums or whatever... [[User:RachmaninovDESU|RachmaninovDESU]] 22:58, 13 April 2009 (CEST)
**Who has the old databases, and how would we be able to access them? --[[User:Tumbleweed|Tumbleweed]] 00:36, 14 April 2009 (CEST)
*** http://www.mediafire.com/?tjw2ynjyzjg I'll just leave this here. ^^ [[User:RachmaninovDESU|RachmaninovDESU]] 02:19, 14 April 2009 (CEST)
 
==If Chris Discovers CWCki - Policy Vote type deal==
===UPDATE===
Not sure how pissed Cogs would be if I told what she had in mind for this, but she came up with a solution that is the best of both worlds, in that we neither have to deal with Chris fucking up CWCki yet would be easy enough for him to use and we don't have to worry about him finding out sensitive stuff. Sorry if you felt like you voted in vain but trust me, this is gonna be awesome.
 
Details to follow in good time. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 23:28, 4 May 2009 (CEST)
 
 
<STRIKE>I have [[User:Champthom/Chris, if you find this...|here]] a sort of message Chris should he ever discover CWCki. Clyde and I believe cogs have stated support for showing Chris our fine wiki and I think this message is a good policy on how to handle Chris should he ever discover CWCki.
 
Obviously you are free to edit the policy and perhaps we should do a vote of sorts to determine if this should be official policy or not and moved into the CWCki portal.
 
Voting will end 01 May 2009 (since that's an easy date to remember). --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 19:04, 28 April 2009 (CEST)
 
*Okay, I'll extend it until 07 May 2009. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 21:28, 2 May 2009 (CEST)</STRIKE>
 
:Prithee, where do we vote? [[User:Fat Nigger|Fat Nigger]] 11:54, 3 May 2009 (CEST)
**Right here, dude. Just say "Aye" or "Nay" or "Yes" or whatever floats your boat. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 17:05, 3 May 2009 (CEST)
 
:* I think the message is pretty cool, but I'd say the system you are proposing is too complex for Chris. He's going to shut down or ignore it as soon as he sees it. Shouldn't we just let him edit articles? We always have the original version backed up, so we can then edit his edits again to have them show both our and chris's view. (if we show chris this letter, we are running the risk that he starts sperging because he doesn't understand, and won't really edit anything at all. If we just let him edit freely we're motivating him moar. Remember, it's a tard we're working with. ^^) [[User:RachmaninovDESU|RachmaninovDESU]] 16:12, 3 May 2009 (CEST)
::*Aye to what RachmaninovDESU says. [[User:Axe|Axe]] 22:15, 3 May 2009 (CEST)
::*By all means, change the page to what you want to reflect it. I see what you're getting at, just you could express what you want than I can. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 22:20, 3 May 2009 (CEST)
::*Aye to this idea in general. --[[User:Mr Mittens|Mr Mittens]] 21:31, 3 May 2009 (EST)
:*Aye. Chris is likely to disregard the message, and spout the same old drivel about his words being twisted around. However, the prospects of him dropping new information, insight or drawings is too good to ignore. At worst it'll result in the creation of a 'Christian and CWCki' page. [[User:Mall Conductor Bear|Mall Conductor Bear]] 06:36, 4 May 2009 (CEST)
:*Aye. --[[User:Delabonte|Delabonte]] 05:15, 5 May 2009 (CEST)
 
==Remove [[Da update]]==
 
Suggestion: Redirect this page to [[2009]] so we don't have to update 3 pages (including [[Template:Da update|the template]]) every time something happens. [[User:Axe|Axe]] 08:36, 4 May 2009 (CEST)
* Da Update should really be for current events that are too minor to be in the main timeline, or ongoing events, it's not being used properly now. --[[User:Robotnik|Robotnik]] 23:48, 4 May 2009 (CEST)
**Agreed. We have to keep Da Update. It's a useful short-term timeline based on a classic running joke. --[[User:Delabonte|Delabonte]] 05:15, 5 May 2009 (CEST)
 
==Sonichu Fan Comics==
Just curious, are there any?--[[User:Jericho|Jericho]] 18:15, 17 May 2009 (CEST)
* I only know of [[Sonichu finale]]. --[[User:Lime|Lime]] ([[User_talk:Lime|Scold?]] | [[Special:Contributions/Lime|Undo?]]) 18:57, 17 May 2009 (CEST)
 
==Organization of emails==
 
I've been pasting large sets of documents like [[Blanca E-mails]] and [[PSN Blogs]] and I want to make sure they're organized well. The way [[Chris E-Mails]] are listed right now is mostly chronological, which is fine but we can separate them by topic instead. I'm thinking of moving stuff out of [[Chris E-mails 2004]]...[[Chris E-mails 2008]] in the following way:
 
* [[PaRappa emails]] - create this page with the ~17 emails with Megan, Susan@PVCC, and PaRappa contest support
* [[Megan emails]] - ~30 other emails with Megan and Tyler/Tony
* [[ED emails]] - emails from Chris to Anna, Megan, Wikimedia, Fox and NBC
* Move the 2 emails with Mary Lee Walsh to [[Piedmont Virginia Community College]]
* Move the 1 email with Robert Simmons V to [[Robert Simmons V]]
* Add the 3 emails of trolls sending Chris's nudes from his aol address to [[Nudes]]
 
This should make emails easier to find, easier to link for reference, and give them more context for losers to read straight through. We already have these emails not in the chronological lists:
 
* [[Miyamoto Saga]] - complete with 83 emails
* [[Cole Smithey]] - has all the emails with Cole
* [[Blanca E-mails]] - complete with 143 emails
* [[White knight emails]] - 10 and growing
* [[Virginia Jeanine Sanford]] - 1
* [[Kathleen Nicole Wallace]] - 1
 
[[User:Axe|Axe]] 00:11, 21 May 2009 (CEST)
 
*well, i think the emails should be listed in chronological order, and grouped by topic and year. this allows readers to read up on a whole subject while also being able to put particular emails in perspective. --[[User:Cogsdev|cogsdev/vedsgoc]] 00:43, 9 June 2009 (CEST)
 
** I don't follow. Chronological and by topic, which comes first? [[User:Axe|Axe]] 11:25, 10 June 2009 (CEST)
 
*Could we have both, with an option to choose at the [[email]] page? --[[User:Delabonte|Delabonte]] 16:03, 10 June 2009 (CEST)
