KHWiki talk:Roundtable

Okay, I suck when it comes to time, so can someone tell me what 9:00 in Wiki time translates to on the United States East Coast?LapisLazuliScarab00:21, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

Um.. I think it's like 2:00 pm. I live in US East Coast, too. --Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 00:28, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

Thanks, Crono. I hope I can make this one...LapisLazuliScarab00:34, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

I've made a list of some common time zones and their relation to UTC (Wiki Time) here. Should we put something like this on the Roundtable page to avoid future confusion? Dan - ^{Don't Blink! ♫} 12:06, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

That would help; we want to make it as easy to get to these meetings as possible, ya?LapisLazuliScarab12:19, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

Done... kinda. A collapsable format may be better... KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 12:31, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

It looks good! But a little bit... messy... Does anyone know of a way to align the tables side by side, and then we could put them into a collapsed section or something maybe? Dan - ^{Don't Blink! ♫} 12:34, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

New Meeting

When has the meeting been rescheduled for? KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 13:38, 11 June 2011 (EDT)

11/6/2011 9pm UTC 0 Erry 13:48, 11 June 2011 (EDT)

Well, since I won't be here, these are my opinions on the items

1. We forgot this last time, so it doesn't really matter to me.
2. I find the majority of off site accounts completely useless. I even find the Facebook account as such, as I even had to manually invite Kryten and Bluer, otherwise they would have never found it.
3. Self explanatory, really. I've already started on the enemies, but I would be willing to do much more if I can find the time.
4. This was mainly directed twords stuff like the Featured Media change, but that is now in effect. But, there is also stuff like the walkthroughs, the main page change, etc.
5. Post audit, what I think needs to be done: finish the image crap, set up some sort of wiki bot to watch over the image space and notify someone when jpg's/ gibberish name images are uploaded, create these walkthroughs, find more affiliates (like actual KH news related websites), and really get to work on all of the different "Project:"'s that have popped up.
6. I vote Erry, if he's willing.

I'll pull a T I here, as there's a good chance I won't be able to make it as well.

1. The Trinity archives don't really concern me; as long as they're maybe updated a little more frequently and efficiently or whatnot I'm good.
2. I believe offsite accounts should be used primarily for the Trinity Archives. I brought this up at the last Roundtable. As for the things that can't really serve that function, such as the deviantart account, I don't really see the purpose of having them. The biased and discriminatory rules the deviantART account on the subject of yaoi/yuri also disturbs me, and if I make it to the meeting, I really really want to talk about this, even if it is a little off topic.
3. What T I said; I'd be glad to help out in this case, but who specifically works on this/volunteers is of no concern to me.
4. Post-audit, as T I said, all of the image work needs closure. Also, Doorsey and I were discussing having a thing on the main page to commemorate everyone who worked on the audit, similar to the Keyblade War winner thing from a few months ago. Please talk about this.
5. I am indifferent to the Mirage Arena.

August 6th7th, 2011

Since these things are always on the Saturdays when I have to work I will not be here, I'll leave my opinions on the talk page again.

1. No opinion.
2. Yes, the new system is a lot more fun.
   1. I'm in favor of the way I handled it. I think it would work, unless we want to institute a tie breaking system.
3. There needs to be a separate section for each member wiki, and a contact list of admins. Also, SOMEBODY RESPOND TO THIS.
4. I really don't care. I prefer to read the logs anyway.
5. Of no consequence to me.
6. This should be started ASAP. I know we should be focusing on the audit, but a lot of people don't seem to want to do it. In addition, the wiki has been literally DEAD the last few days because Kryten, Neumannz, Erry, me, etc. have not been on as much. HOWEVER, a walkthrough would rally the community, I believe. Also, people who are doing strategy sections and stuff should post their drafts on a Walkthrough:GAME/Draft, so the gnomes can fix the sections up without getting edit conflicted 10,000 times.
7. I suppose there should be some rules, but none should go as extreme as the PG rule went. That made breaking the rule FUN, inviting inapropriate behavior. alsoihaznoproblemzcuncurningazulspeek.

Please use this. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 17:44, 4 August 2011 (EDT)

I also will be absent, sorry! I will also leave my opinions on the matters.

1. This needs to be explained better for me to create an opinion on the matter. Simply put, I have no clue what you are talking about.
2. I would like to continue ut--our imagespace is thriving and large enough to support changing it far more often that only once a month.
   1. First nominated was used; perhaps we could roll the other tied image over to the following month?
3. WE NEED TO COMPLETE THE SITE ASAP. I like the format as it is now, but please, it needs to be ABSOLUTELY COMPLETED before it is presented to potential wiki partners.
4. If we aren't going to have logs available for the roundtables, we might as well not have them at all. This is the only way to make it available for the entire community, and it needs to be done. Specifics users, perhaps, could be appointed to handle the logging and summarizing.
5. OH DON'T BE ALL BUTTHURT ERRY. The format that has always been used for the Trinity Archives has been a title with the date related to the subject, the user's name with the POSTING DATE, and then the text. Changing the posting date is outright dishonest and looks TERRIBLE. Also, I posted a forum topic on adding a comment forum thread that coincides with each future post of the Trinity Archives, please go see that it, it seemed to be well received.
6. A community walkthrough would be a large project, and rules and regulations of the writing style and format will need to be created before it the walkthrough itself is created. I prefer all professionalism in a wiki-created project. HOWEVER. I am not opposed to users also hosting their own personally written walkthroughs in their userspace. If we have enough of these in high quality, we can discuss hosting them in the walkthroughspace.

I am also going to be absent again, for reasons I don't think I need to explain at this point, but in most of the points I don't have an urgently strong opinion. I agree with Doorsey on number 1, though, I have no clue what that's even about, we ABSOLUTELY need someone to be on top of logging, and I have no idea what azulspeak is, nor was I aware of new irc rules being added willy nilly. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 02:36, 5 August 2011 (EDT)

The roundtable has been moved a day later due to the absences of numerous people, there were only 4 people (myself included) in the noticeboard channel who were idling, the rest were all sat either in #KHWiki-social or not here at all. Tomorrow is the final roundtable for August, and that's it until September Erry 20:54, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Same time, I presume? KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 22:16, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

...I thought today was Saturday. [facepalm] Graugh, fail, I should be able to attend the roundtable if it were held today.LapisLazuliScarab19:00, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Then you're in luck, Lapis. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 20:28, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Activity

Some people asked me on the IRC what I meant by this, so here goes.

I while ago, I moved maggosh and Ultima to inactive staff because, well, the entire point of having an active staff is so the users on the list can be contacted for immediate administrative assistance. However, at the time, I wanted to move more over, but figured it wasn't for the best. So, based on contributions up to this date and time (22:41, 25 August 2011 (UTC)), the following staff are, well, definitly not fully active.

• DoorToNothing - Very few total edits in August and July, about half mainspace. Inactivity notice on his page.
• Troisnyxetienne - No August edits (August inactivity declared on page), many June edits, few July edits, with only a handful of mainspace.
• EternalNothingnessXIII - One June edit, active for most of July, with primarily talk page and walkthrough edits, no August edits. No notice on page.
• Xion4ever - Active for a while, but inactive as of late. Notice on page.
• LevL - Inactive as of late. Notice on page, edits when he can.
• SilverCrono - Very few edits for August and July, mainly Mirage Arena and talk page edits. No notice on page.

In the end, I want to know "what defines a staff member as active".

KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 22:41, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm actually here everyday. I check in on the RC's, participate in IRC discussion, and maintain a watchlist of articles that I oversee. In all honesty, by busy life, and resumed courses, have caught up with me, but I am in no way, form, or manner inactive. If I'm ever needed for an emergency, I am available on the IRC and my talk page. I get e-mail alerts, so the latter works just fine. There should be no reason to address an issue with that. Also, Inexistent: if you have a question, leave it on his, his, or my talk page. You'll get a quick answer, I assure you. --^DTN 23:07, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I know who to contact, it's just that others may not. And this is why I asked. If you are indeed monitering the wiki, then you shouldn't be counted as inactive, unlike the others, for which the definition would be necissary. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 00:41, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Damn, I guess I am inactive. :| It's just that school has started for me and I have little to no time for interwebz except on weekends... so yeah. List me as inactive if you must, at least until after like October. I should have more time after marching season ends. --Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 19:47, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Okay, we are not dealing with this now. Especially not on this page. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 20:25, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Sept. 3rd

There is, once again, a substantial chance that I will not be there.

1. ^Above
2. If we want to keep it for our walkthroughs, yipee. If not, I don't care.
3. No idea.
4. Go forward with it.
5. About as far as we where last time. And new renders, definitly yes. However, it seems only the White Wizard can get big, complex models. But yeah, awesome renders for stuff we don't have good scans of.
6. I say no.

KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 02:34, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

October 2nd

Since I most certainly will be off galavanting with my camera and crew:

1. I striked it out, because it isn't dead anymore.
2. Don't care; I've abandoned the channels.
3. Except then we'll create a bunch of one liners that do nothing, and never get updated. The red links should remain as a reminder that they should be filled.
4. Also don't care cause I'm going to the Keyhole's rp.

KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 02:54, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Wait, Roundtable today? Wasn't it supposed to be yesterday? Was it another no-show? --Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 15:53, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 17:35, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

From now and beyond

Don't expect me to be in roundtables in the near future or present, I have no power of being able to join Roundtables due to it being on a Saturday (not to mention just past midnight) and my school week starting from Sun-to-Thur. Erry 02:37, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

This just occurred to me; did we ever consider having two consecutive meetings? The initial meeting on Saturday, and a second on Sunday for everyone who couldn't attend the Saturday one? LapisLazuliScarab03:05, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Sunday would still not work for me. Thursdays and Fridays only work with the exception of weekday holidays. Erry 03:11, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

...And neither of those days work for anyone in the Eastern time zone, like me. -- AS IF! 03:25, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Well we need to figure out something that works. Not just anything and stick with it... that'd be absolutely pointless. Erry 10:42, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

How about one for the Western time zone, and one for the Eastern time zone? The meeting starts at 3 O'clock in the morning at my place, I certainly can't show up every time there's a meeting :/ ^{What mattered most} _{was remembered least} 11:09, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Two separate meetings would be too chaotic. Different agreements would be reached by both meetings, and in the end, we'd just be coming back together again. So no to that idea. Chitalian8 11:24, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

asdfghjkl;' you're right though. What about Friday night (which is probably Saturday early for me)? ^{What mattered most} _{was remembered least} 11:41, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Friday night's as bad as Saturday for me. Look, we can't possibly find a time that works for everyone, so the best we can do is use a day that works for many, and those of us who can't make it can either leave messages on this talk page or with someone who will be making it to the roundtable. That's the best we can do. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 14:38, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

November 5th

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? I will not be able to attend the Nov. 5th meeting. I don't have any real opinion on point #1. If any other points are added later, I'll edit this message accordingly.
