Message for promising new users

I see you've made some useful contributions. If you plan on sticking around, perhaps you'd like admin privileges... so you can delete and move pages, block users, etc. No minimum commitment is expected or required. Let me know by leaving a message on this page. Admin 22:27, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

  • Before Raza took sabbatical, he wanted a top contributor statistics page. Possible? wang 01:54, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
  • I haven't yet found a "top contributor" feature. Wikipedia has lists of their top contributors, but I don't know how they compile them. I'll look into it again later on today. Admin 07:23, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

Clubs

Let's keep one wiki page for students clubs. Basic clean 3 column table. Club name (as wiki link to article), contact e-mail, website. Merge SGB and ABC into one list. Let's keep the administrative nonsense out of this. Should we combine club sports in as well, or keep it seperate, or both (merge into the list and keep a seperate article?) Because I think it might be useful to have some List of articles as well (e.g. List of Student Publications). Cleaner and more customizable than category pages.

I'm personally inclined just to use categories, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to have one big long list. It's better than the restaurant solution (ie, categorizing everything into a restaurants category and a sub-category). I'd say merge club sports into the one list. Then people can do a (Firefox) search for anything they're interested in.
I really don't think there's any need for more specialized lists such as a list of publications. Categories are fine for that.
If you want, we can each deal with one page. I can process ABC into a clean list, you can process SGB, and perhaps someone else will volunteer for Club Sports. Admin 23:51, 24 March 2007 (EDT)
Alright, I'll get on that soon. Absentminded 11:21, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

Using Columbia's GIF Maps

I've stuck one on the Ruggles Hall article. Take a look and see if we can come up with a better formatting solution.

Looks good. I think it should come after the Google map though. Or have a look at the changes I made... I've floated it on the right. Maybe this isn't good for people will small monitors though. Admin 11:28, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

email
