[4:33pm] seanw: Wiki_Blue, hey [4:33pm] Wiki_Blue: hello fellas [4:33pm] Wiki_Blue: hey sean, can you do me a favor? [4:33pm] Martinp24 is now known as Martinp23. [4:35pm] Platonides: do we have agenda? [4:35pm] Wiki_Blue: hey does anyone know about how many articles are deleted per day? [4:35pm] Wiki_Blue: its for a reporter on a tight deadline? [4:35pm] Wiki_Blue: ?? [4:35pm] Platonides: Wiki_Blue, easy to count [4:35pm] Platonides: on which wiki? [4:35pm] Wiki_Blue: wikipedia english [4:36pm] cary-office: None of them are articles [4:36pm] cary-office: they wouldn't be deleted if they were [4:36pm] Wiki_Blue: stubs [4:36pm] Wiki_Blue: how many stubs [4:36pm] cary-office: You can't really judge [4:37pm] cary-office: some are nonsense pages [4:37pm] Cbrown1023 joined the chat room. [4:37pm] cary-office: some are vanity pages [4:37pm] • Cbrown1023 forgot, sorry [4:37pm] cary-office: I don't think you can come up with a valid figure [4:37pm] CraigSpurrier: maybe an AFD count for a day would be more like what the reporter is looking for [4:37pm] Wiki_Blue: so less than 100 stubs per day are deleted? [4:37pm] seanw: Oh whoops [4:37pm] seanw: Ackl [4:37pm] seanw: SORRY ALL [4:37pm] seanw: I forgot about the meeting. [4:37pm] • Cbrown1023 did too [4:37pm] seanw: Sorry Sandy [4:37pm] seanw: Let me grab an agenda [4:37pm] Wiki_Blue: no prob. [4:37pm] cary-office: There's no quick answer [4:37pm] seanw: (no, I meant I forgot this window) [4:38pm] Wiki_Blue: meet me for a sec [4:38pm] cary-office: There's no simple answer [4:38pm] • Cbrown1023 huggles Sandy [4:38pm] Wiki_Blue: hey gusy [4:38pm] Cbrown1023: [4:38pm] • Cbrown1023 has no clue what that means, but it sounds nice [4:38pm] Platonides: Wiki_Blue about 8000 in last 24h [4:39pm] cary-office: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/delete Here is your problem [4:39pm] seanw: Okay, guys, we have no agenda [4:39pm] seanw: This is good. [4:39pm] Platonides: but seems to have been a crusade anti #redirects [4:39pm] Cbrown1023: Platonides: [4:39pm] Platonides: by DerHexer [4:39pm] Cbrown1023: but yeah, we have a ton of pages deleted per day [4:39pm] cary-office: We have to talk about Aussie accessibility [4:39pm] Platonides: so real normal deletions may be much less [4:39pm] seanw: Any ideas? [4:39pm] Cbrown1023: cary-office: I neeeded to disucss this with you all too [4:39pm] Cbrown1023: not just aussies [4:39pm] Cbrown1023: but Asians too [4:40pm] cary-office: To this meeting [4:40pm] Wiki_Blue: thanks [4:40pm] cary-office: a different time occasionally [4:40pm] Cbrown1023: Platonides: it varies, but it's easy to find out daily AfDs [4:40pm] Cbrown1023: just look at the log page [4:40pm] Wiki_Blue: plantonides! [4:40pm] seanw: Okay. [4:41pm] Cbrown1023: cary-office: will meeting times change when you move to SanFran? [4:41pm] cary-office: Plantainides [4:41pm] seanw: Does anyone have any project issues they wish to raise? [4:41pm] Cbrown1023: that will complicate things more, cary-office [4:41pm] cary-office: Cbrown1023: that's up to the committee [4:41pm] cary-office: This would be 1:30 instead of 4:30 for me in San Francisco, so that's not an issue [4:43pm] Platonides: seanw, there was some discussion yesterday about preparing to create wikimedia spain [4:43pm] Platonides: but for now it's less than smoke [4:43pm] seanw: Hmm. [4:43pm] cary-office: [4:43pm] seanw: Well, it is a chapters thing, so what we should do is offer our services to teh people involved [4:43pm] cary-office: Platonides: Would Barcelona be included in that? [4:43pm] cary-office: or would they be a separate Wikimedia Catelonia [4:43pm] HistoryOnTheroad joined the chat room. [4:44pm] HistoryOnTheroad: seanw: Just got the e-mail, sorry I forgot [4:44pm] Cbrown1023: seanw: not right now probably [4:44pm] cary-office: HistoryOnTheroad will be late to his own funeral [4:44pm] seanw: HistoryOnTheroad, np [4:44pm] Cbrown1023: wm-es is "less than smoke" as Platonides said [4:44pm] • Cbrown1023 wants to push them [4:44pm] seanw: Okay. [4:45pm] HistoryOnTheroad: cary-office: lol ... this time, I forgot, as opposed to getting stuck in traffic [4:45pm] seanw: So do we have anything else, seeing as wm-es is hardly ready? [4:45pm] Cbrown1023: when do we help chapters? [4:45pm] Cbrown1023: when they're already set up, right? [4:45pm] seanw: Basically yeah. [4:45pm] Cbrown1023: k, that's what I thought [4:45pm] seanw: As a general rule, ComProj is for project stuff, and Foundation stuff only when under direct supervision. [4:45pm] cary-office: Other than different meeting time for 3rd zone [4:46pm] HistoryOnTheroad: seanw: I wanted to know if we've got someone working on the current project list ... I missed the meeting on that one. [4:46pm] seanw: Ah. [4:46pm] Platonides: cary-office, Barcelona should be included [4:46pm] seanw: Well, hopefully Cbrown is [4:46pm] • HistoryOnTheroad wonder if chapters are projects or "foundation stuff" [4:46pm] seanw: HistoryOnTheroad, foundation really [4:46pm] Platonides: but catalonians are quite independent [4:46pm] seanw: As soon as I go and tell him what to do. [4:46pm] Platonides: as are basques [4:47pm] • cary-office needs to get to Barcelona [4:47pm] Cbrown1023: hehe [4:47pm] • Cbrown1023 does too [4:47pm] HistoryOnTheroad: we should have our next CPG meeting there [4:47pm] Cbrown1023: cary-office: andyou need to go to BA [4:47pm] Cbrown1023: para loco [4:47pm] cary-office: well yeah [4:48pm] cary-office: So we're a bit scattered today [4:48pm] seanw: Okay. [4:48pm] HistoryOnTheroad: seanw: Ok, so cbrown is managing the current project list? [4:48pm] seanw: Shall we close the meeting? [4:48pm] cary-office: That's fine [4:48pm] seanw: HistoryOnTheroad, yes [4:48pm] Wiki_Blue: hey [4:48pm] Wiki_Blue: can some of you stay behind [4:48pm] Wiki_Blue: i have a quick question [4:49pm] Wiki_Blue: espeically if you are german [4:49pm] cary-office: I guess I'll ask symode09 to send out an email of when he thinks a good alternate meeting time [4:49pm] cary-office: Wiki_Blue: We have no involved Germans [4:49pm] Cbrown1023: cary-office: we don't?
