Connie Dobbs 100th birthday is coming July 4, 2022. We could use some expansion on her article! (You can see Connie Dobbs on the SubGenius Wiki for comparison). Understand we prefer articles on the Discordian and SubGenius wikis not be exact duplicates of each other.

Also the copyright status of this image is in question. Information on this would be helpful.

We used to have personalized titles for sysop and bureaucrat. Then FANDOM changed how things work again. Now they're gone. Will this work?

We might all be checking the same maintenance reports! Perhaps it might be good if we posted ones here that are already taken care of!

When we set this up, we had no idea we would have a three-way tie for three-month admin! So we need to have something in place to decide who's made a permanent admin. All active editors can express their opinion.

Personally, I would like to do it something like we did to choose a temporary admin. Not do it by vote, not do it by admin decision, but by points so there's no question of personal bias.

We've already given points for the past, so I'd propose doing points for here on, maybe starting a week after we set up the guidelines to 14:00 hours UTC June 15, 2022. Here's my suggestion, but please express your opinions before 14:00 hours UTC March 22, 2022. The counting will begin at 14:00 hours UTC March 23, 2022.

All of these apply to Discordian Wiki (this wiki) only.

Notes

Timeline: Counting points begins at 14:00 hours UTC March 23, 2022 and ends at 14:00 hours UTC June 15, 2022. Permanent admin candidates must post proof of their work by 14:00 hours UTC June 15, 2022. (For counting "Last month," see below).

Burden of proof is on the temporary admin. You don't have to link to every one of your edits and posts! We can find and count those from your user page. But if there's something you think we might otherwise miss, it's up to you to give us a link.

"Last month" mentioned in "Currently editing" and "Currently posting" will mean between 14:00 hours UTC May 15, 2022 to 14:00 hours UTC June 15, 2022.

"Proper rights notice" means specifying the legal rights to an image; public domain, copyrighted but used by permission, CC-BY-SA, etc. Remember unless it's public domain, the owner/creator of the image needs to be specified.

"Wiki maintenance" means fixing a problem in Special Pages: Maintenance reports (see links). This does not include Double redirects, Long pages, Oldest pages, Pages with the fewest revisions, Protected pages, Protected titles, Short pages.

Points do stack. For example, making 20+ edits gives 1 point for 10+ and 1 point for 20+, meaning 2 points.

This article has lots and lots of links, but they're all external! I added a bit about Discordia to it to give it one internal link, but I wonder if it needs that many links to places outside of this wiki.

We Need An Admin!

In a few months, one of our admins will be in the Peace Corps for quite a while and won't be online much. So we need another admin!

We need someone who's active, who makes good contributions, and who plays well with others.

As long as they don't violate those, the person chosen would be made an admin for a three-month trial period. A decision on an extension would be made by the active users at that time.

If you're interested, post your name and your qualifications here by 14:00 hours UTC, March 16, 2022!

Instead of Admins deciding who gets temporarily made an admin, decision will be made by point total. It is up to each applicant to post proof of the below (links to their profile page on Wikis they want counted is Ok.)

That's right, it's finally happening! I was accepted in 2019 after wanting to do it for years. Then COVID-19 hit!

So my plans got majorly postponed.

But now, finally, I’m going into the Peace Corps! There’s a lot of restrictions, and it won’t be for a few months. But it’s finally going to happen! I'll be gone for two years so won't be online much.

I’ve wanted to do this for years, so am majorly excited!

Posted on behalf of editor Uncle Pedia:

Have you been called a sockpuppet? I'm putting together Intermittens the Sockpuppets issue! So I'm looking for contributions!

Why a Sockpuppets issue? You have to know how this began.

A year ago, I edited Intermittens 12: UnFaithopedia to collect and restore humorous “religious” articles from various versions of the split-apart Uncyclopedia. Admins were systematically destroying the things that had made Uncyclopedia great—either due to prudishness or ego (because they didn’t write them).

I expected backlash from power-mad Unc admins, which is why I edited that issue under the nom de plume of Uncle Pedia. (I have an account on three UncycloPedias.)

But, lo and behold, the admins said almost nothing—but Discordians and SubGeniuses sure as hell did! They expressed great moral outrage that I wasn’t following their rules—the rules of those who insist people should not be forced to follow other people’s rules.

Furthermore, because the name of a certain person appeared three (3) times in that 16,000-word magazine, obviously I was that person’s self-promoting sockpuppet! Obviously.

So for you and anyone who's been accused of being a sockpuppet, spread the word I'm doing the all-sockpuppet Intermittens! I've found several articles already, but could use a few more!

Please post a link to your article if it's online. Or email my assistant editor at rozocran@mail.com

I made Discordia a disambiguation page. I hope that's OK! I added an article about bands named Discordia and put links. Please let me know if you want it changed!

If I go to discordia.fandom.com it sends me here.
