January Pt. 1[change | change source]

Formatting and content discussion[change | change source]

Discuss formatting and content here. I think that it should have our stories as vandals, as well as a list of members, so that people don't feel alone when they convert to being good contributors. Thesixthstaff (talk) 22:34, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Sounds Good. Lets do that a little later…Right now, I want to inform you that there is Now a template that needs to be put at the top of every new Reverted Vandal Page.. = {{template:RevertedVandalColor}} Thanks! --Pending(tell me I screwed up and where)
Should we not have the members list on the main page instead of the talk page?--Mr Wiki Pro (talk) 22:39, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
This conversation is discussing plans for the main page! The talking will happen when we have members, but we can't have a talk page conversation on the main page! Thesixthstaff (talk) 22:41, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Lets have everyone put their name on the List (Main Page). PendingTell me I screwed up!
Also, Everybody Add this to their watch List. PendingTell me I screwed up!
Archiving once a day sounds goodThesixthstaff (talk) 22:55, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

What should we do now? PendingTell me I screwed up!

I guess we could make an outline of what we should do on the main page (i.e. put in headings and whatever)Thesixthstaff (talk) 23:02, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Alright,well Lets all start making edits to the Main Page. PendingTell me I screwed up!

Main Page Discussion[change | change source]

Discussion About the Main Page Below.

Like the Article of the Week Idea? I do. --PendingTell me I screwed up!


Yes I like the article of the week. I don't really know much about it Unfortunately.--Mr Wiki Pro (talk) 23:46, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Easy Fix. Learn About It From HERE. MORE CHANGES! PendingTell me I screwed up!


Suggestion[change | change source]

Hmm...should we make this a proper Wikipedia page/group instead, with the Wikipedia: prefix? (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 13:59, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

If possible. Where would we go to get the permission for such a thing? --PendingTell me I screwed up!
Not sure if needed, and if so, dunno where leh. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 14:10, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
I'll try to figure it out. for the time being, it will remain here until further notice. Any other suggestions, maybe about the user page? --PendingTell me I screwed up! 14:13, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
We are now a WikiProject! --PendingTell me I screwed up!

WP:RV Userbox[change | change source]

Suggestions and Feedback for/on Userbox

WikiProject:
Reformed Vandals
WP:RV



Yes I did see the userbox, Its very good. I did try to create one myself but I am rubbish at making them.--Mr Wiki Pro (talk) 22:20, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

IP Vandalism[change | change source]

Oh dear it would seem an IP address keeps vandalising our project page.--Mr Wiki Pro (talk) 11:00, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Not even for a few days yet, nothing to talk, unless he's real persistent. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 12:42, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Inviting Users and IPs[change | change source]

I think we should have a template for inviting Vandals and IPs to become reformed. The general criteria would/will be a a vandal that that has/had a history of vandalizing, but recently has shown to be able to edit constructively. I do not propose we invite vandals that have not shown to edit constructively, because it would make us a bigger target for vandals. I'll get started on a "prototype". -Pending(tell me I screwed up and where)

Here is the first "Draft"



Good idea. I dont think much of letting IPs join however.--Mr Wiki Pro (talk) 17:03, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Maybe we could create a template for IPs that requests the creation of an account along with the join? Or do you not like the idea at all? Pending(tell me I screwed up and where)
Yes maby a new template would be a good idea. IPs always change so we could end up with a member with alot of IPs and it would be very confusing. It would be alot better if members had an account.--Mr Wiki Pro (talk) 17:19, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Alright, I'll base the new template off the already established one. _Pending(tell me I screwed up and where)

Here is the First Draft of the IP Template



That looks great. Should it be added to a section on the main page?--Mr Wiki Pro (talk) 17:52, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

For the mean time it will. --Pending(tell me I screwed up and where)

Some suggestions: 1) It would be much better if we congratulate or thank the user for kicking his bad habit and want to contribute to Wikipedia. 2) For IP address, dont say invite "the IP address to join the group". It is self-contradictory when you need to create an account. 3) And yes, I do agree the IP vandals should create an account. This is to ensure that it is only one user and as you know, IPs change frequently. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 18:19, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Took suggestions and implemented them into the Template! --Pending(tell me I screwed up and where)



Article of the week?[change | change source]

How exactuly do we choose the article of the week? Do we take it in turn to decide or do we have a vote? Thanks--Mr Wiki Pro (talk) 22:00, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

I think that each person should choose an article, then we all vote. We also, can't vote for our own chosen article. --Pending(tell me I screwed up and where)
Remember, we need to decide on a new article of the week. -Pending(tell me I screwed up and where) 14:49, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Article of the week votes.[change | change source]

The WikiProject: Reformed Vandals now has a Voting page to choose the article of the week.--Mr Wiki Pro (talk) 19:22, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Please do not vote until all members have nominated an article. --Pending(tell me I screwed up and where)

New article of the week[change | change source]

Is today the voting day for the new article of the week?--Mr Wiki Pro (talk) 19:03, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

As it says on the main page. It is not until the 25th, Although I would be up to selecting a new article due to the speedy creation of the previous article. -Pending(tell me I screwed up and where) 19:05, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Ok. I should have realised it said on the main page when the new week starts.--Mr Wiki Pro (talk) 19:08, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Perhaps we could select a new one today? -Pending(tell me I screwed up and where)
