==Re: En-wiki…== | |||
Hello BG7, I made the changes you had requested on the pages you told me. If you're still interrested into becoming an admin here, please subscribe & write to our mailing list. That can be done on http://lists.scoutwiki.org . | |||
I saw you were planning to create a community portal. I just changed [[:fr:Scoutopedia:Communauté|ours on French ScoutWiki]], so if you want to take inspiration from it, or even to copy it, feel free to do so. I'm of course available for questions of help of whatever you would need to know (and http://babelfish.altavista.com usually provides good translations ;-) ).

:Ok thanks a lot. | |||
:I'm also creating [[ScoutWiki:Applications for Adminship]] which is a must needed tool for the wiki... All we need is a b'crat to run it (i'm volunteering! The mailing list you say... ok. By the way, I know that Adminship is a task, i'm an admin at 6, yes, 6 other wikis...). | |||
:Thanks, | |||

I have replied to your questions on my talk page there. I thought I had done so long ago, but must have forgotten to save it. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] 01:14, 6 January 2008 (EET) | |||
== Adminship == | |||
Congratulations for your new, shiny admin rights. I'm sure you know how to use the privileges responsibly, but if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the other SW admins at either on IRC (irc.freenode.net, channel #ScoutWiki) or through our [http://lists.scoutwiki.org/wws/info/discussion mailing lists]. | |||
Have fun, | |||

==.svg images== | |||
Hello BG7, I uploaded the .svg images you had requested (directly on ScoutMedia so that they can be used by other ScoutWikis). I also added the page a bit of text trying to explain how to manipulate .svg graphics, but if you need more explanation, feel free to ask on MSN or IRC.

==[[Help:Importing articles under GFDL]]== | |||
I do not think that this template meets the requirements of GDFL on its own. We also have to indicate which version was copied from Wikipedia. That was explained on another page which I think was linked from the main page when I first joined up here. I can not find it now. The advice was, on wikipedia, to click on "Permanent link" in the left menu and then "Copy link location" and then paste it into the edit summary when the article is first saved on ScoutWiki. After the first few I have been doing that. I think we need to do that and add the template. For the first few I found the version number and pasted it to the talk page. If we do not do that it is impossible to see the correct history of the article. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] 03:22, 7 February 2008 (EET) | |||
==Re: ScoutMedia== | |||
Hello BG7, nice to hear from you :-) | |||
So to answer your questions about ScoutMedia : | |||
# Why not ? If you have a good reason, tell us on the mailing list or on IRC and we will see if we grant admin rights to you or not. | |||
# I'm affraid it won't be possible, as it is the common main page and as it is using a template with parameters so that it is similar in every language. Also, there are still many red links on the English ScoutWiki main page … Sorry about that, though. | |||
Hope you're doing well and the English ScoutWiki too. [[User:Akela NDE|Akela]] - <small>[[Special:Emailuser/Akela NDE|yaw]] [[:fr:Discussion utilisateur:Akela NDE|yaoooo !]]</small> 22:11, 25 March 2008 (EET) | |||
:Hello :-) | |||
:Just a quick note about Neckerchiefs because I saw you asked Bono to do some for you : you can easily make them by yourself using the generator I made : http://www.scoutwiki.org/~jeoire/neckgen | |||
:You just need to follow the on-screen instructions, it produces a .svg neckerchief you can download and upload to Scoutmedia, using template <nowiki>{{neckerchief}}</nowiki>. Have fun !

== Re: Where do i work? == | |||
Hi BG7, | |||
I work for Jarvis rail, in the S&T design office in Manchester. We design signalling schemes and installations here there and everywhere. | |||
Signed up here back in october, but got invoolved in setting up scout network in my county. Between that, and the two groups i run, i didn't have time to do anything else for a while. | |||

== Ugly frontpage + my advice == | |||
Hi, | |||
Can you please simplify the front page? With the current format, constant new items are necessary to fill the front page. But no one seems to feel responsible for making them. I therefore think it is better to have a static front page. You may use [[Main_Page/Sandbox]] or simply take an old version of 2007 for the front page. | |||

==Question for all administrators on en.scoutwiki.org== | |||
Currently, Egel and I are active with cleaning up the English ScoutWiki, aiming on: | |||
* making it a better example for the other language ScoutWiki's | |||
* making it a useful intermediate for exchange of information between other languages | |||
However: there are a few quite disturbing issues on which we need the help of one administrator, because we can nog deal with them ourselves: | |||
* The main page is ugly, because the dynamic items are not updated regularly: I suggest putting [[Main Page/Sandbox|this new idea]] or [http://en.scoutwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=10677 this old concept] on the main page instead. | |||
* There are many [[:Category:Candidates for deletion|candidates for speedy deletion]] | |||
* Of the EIGHT administrators, no one seems to have time to check regularly to see if help is needed. | |||
Can one of you come by and be a bit active again? Or otherwise give me or [[User:Egel|Egel]] administrator rights for this English version of the scoutwiki? In that case, we can do all the cleaning up ourselves. [[User:Sietske|Sietske]] 09:25, 13 December 2009 (UTC) | |||
:Thank you very much for your quick response! I'm very happy with it! [[User:Sietske|Sietske]] 10:46, 13 December 2009 (UTC) | |||
::No worries at all. Now that there is some more interest being shown in the wiki I may be inclined to become more active <tt>;)</tt>. That said, I need to get onto the SW people as there are still a lot of corrupt bits and bobs on the wiki. Running 1.15.1 isn't particularly helpful either!

:::It would be nice when you would become more active! It doesn't have to be much, though. If at least once a week something happens at this scoutwiki, it keeps things going. And that may lead to other people contributing! [[User:Sietske|Sietske]] 11:17, 14 December 2009 (UTC) | |||
