Forum:Wiki awards

I'd be happy to manage the wiki awards as I was vice chair. However, I'm moving them to December.

I thought Darth Fury already had plans for those. Bub 04:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

And I thought we had settled that it was going to be in June again. Master 76 Holodisk Mind TrickJedi Library

Yes... wait when was this Wiki founded? &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 10:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

August 30, 2005. It's on the main page. NKSCF NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 11:14, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, but I was vice chair and nobody is here in August. Besides, December is at the end of the year.

Besides, I already made the page.

Actually, I think we're going to change it. They are now the biannual wiki awards. One will be in December and the other, like last year, will be in May. I'll host the one in December, though. I know it sounds stupid but some usersaren't here in the summer. Therefore, those of you who can't make it in the summer can still enjoy them and visa-versa.

Let's vote on the hosts. But we'll do it differently this time, with more open voting. I didn't quite understand how to vote last time. &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 19:34, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

And I notice no users disappearing in the summer, if anything, there would be more of us on when there is no school. &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 19:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Because the Wiki Awards Council supposedly stands, maybe the members of the council could choose articles for awards, one nominee each. With four members, that's perfect. Then MaulYoda would determine the best among them. Perhaps the council nominations could be restricted to ideas of everyone else's input. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication

I think everyone should vote for them, not four self-acclaimed judges. &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 20:08, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Another issue is one of how they are presented this year. DV last time did it like a staged talk show or something, very informal and typing as if he were talking. Not to mention there were many spelling errors. I think that there could be a better way to do that. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 20:11, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, DV's way was impersonel and I did not enjoy it at all, well, until I won something. MaulYoda and the other members should choosed the winner on the IRC the winners and he will announce the winner after the decision is made. Another thing, DV's was way too slow, we need to make this one a whole lot faster. NKSCF NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 20:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I still think that we do it like featured article way. That would give us an excuse to start earlier... &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 20:30, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

In concerns with voting, that could be done. We could also make the winners of the categories featured articles for the next, oh, twenty weeks. That would relieve a lot of pressure for now and let us accumulate new users and contributors to vote and create more FAs. As to the IRC means, that is a possibility, and would be much more comfortable than last year with constantly clicking Refresh. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication

The IRC is genius but not all of us know how to work IRC, such as myself or at least not very well. And now that I remember they were in May last year, it's fine. Besides, I only wanted two of them because the suspense is killing me. What I think about the articles is that we shoudl allow people to vote on any article they want at first until a certain time, when we will pick the four most voted for articles to be finalists and only those articles can be voted for. I have much better spelling & grammer then DV by the way, and it's congratulations, DV.

Heh, I remember that. "Congradulatoins!" Anyway your plan sounds mostly good. How about we have the summer awards in August, because the Wiki was founded then, or maybe starting in late July if they take a while. Then the other could be six months before or... hmm February sounds too late. How about January, or mid-December? &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 23:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

December sounds fine. It's the Christmas season and what a gift to receive! NKSCF NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 01:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Gift? --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication

The awards. NKSCF NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 01:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, whatever. I'm not going to exersize my dictionary prowess right now. Speaking of holidays, we should do something like that Revolutionary War article for Thanksgiving and Halloween, with Christmas and however-you-wish-to-spell-it, with all the holidays in fall and winter. Could even make them improvement drives for the preceeding week. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 01:31, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Awsome stuff! Anyway, we should keep it in May like last year but how about we have a Founder's Day on August 30, the day this wiki was fouded? Holiday improvement drives would be cool too. I wish I had admin access to make this stuff better, though.

Hey, why are you focusing on all these Christian holidays?... The Revolutionary War joke article is awesome, though. I like May, it's the time when school is going to end soon and my birthday is in may. But let's vote:

December (2)
We aren't going to have two Wiki Awards in the same month, of course. Let's not have two right next to each other either. &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 12:46, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I only used one Christian holiday in my list of examples, but hey, those are the holidays I celebrate. My family recognizes a few Jewish holidays as well, but not as sincerely as we do with Christmas and Easter. I cowered from mentioning the holiday with the Menorah because I don't know how to spell it. Wait... I suppose it's Ramadan, isn't it? We could do something like that. What do the "2"s and "1"s mean after the months? --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 12:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
