From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

7-5-2006 20:23 Celestianpower  !AC Everyone ready?
7-5-2006 20:23 pschemp go
7-5-2006 20:23 Titoxd go
7-5-2006 20:23 JoanneB aye
7-5-2006 20:23 Celestianpower Let us begin
7-5-2006 20:24 freakofnurture ok
7-5-2006 20:24 Celestianpower First item on the agenda is to welcome pschemp and freakofnurture to the AC
7-5-2006 20:24 pschemp thanks
7-5-2006 20:24 Celestianpower And congratulate Titoxd on his re-election
7-5-2006 20:24 pschemp congrats
7-5-2006 20:24 Celestianpower Right, down to business
7-5-2006 20:24 Titoxd  :)
7-5-2006 20:25 Celestianpower First thing I'd like to bring up is the Code Of Conduct (WP:ESP/CC)
7-5-2006 20:25 Celestianpower Where are wre on that? It seems to have stalled
7-5-2006 20:25 Celestianpower *we
7-5-2006 20:26 Celestianpower  !AC Is everyone still in agreement that in principle, it's a good idea?
7-5-2006 20:26 JoanneB aye
7-5-2006 20:26 Titoxd yes, although there were some concerns about the overly broad wording
7-5-2006 20:26 pschemp I don't like its current form
7-5-2006 20:26 JoanneB hi Linuxerist, welcome, but this is a closed meeting
7-5-2006 20:26 Celestianpower Linuxerist: Yes
7-5-2006 20:26 Linuxerist oh
7-5-2006 20:26 freakofnurture lol
7-5-2006 20:27 ILovePlankton am I allowwed to be here?
7-5-2006 20:27 JoanneB erm, sorry, no
7-5-2006 20:27 Titoxd to be blunt, no
7-5-2006 20:27 JoanneB you're welcome to read the logs afterwards though :)
7-5-2006 20:27 Celestianpower lol
7-5-2006 20:27 Celestianpower Where were we?
7-5-2006 20:28 freakofnurture code of conduct
7-5-2006 20:28 pschemp I have moral issues with Esperanza being a policeman. I'd rather we word things so users have to police them selves, but this is an issue with few obvious answers.
7-5-2006 20:28 JoanneB pschemp: yeah, I see what you mean
7-5-2006 20:28 freakofnurture who considers esperanza to be policemen?
7-5-2006 20:28 Celestianpower pschemp: But you are in agreement that, in principle, it's a good idea?
7-5-2006 20:28 Titoxd we're not going to become the Arbitration Committee, but we do need some sort of way of showing that we do not condone incivility, etc
7-5-2006 20:28 pschemp it will if we make the code of conduct more restrictive
7-5-2006 20:29 freakofnurture a number of users feel that i'm in violation of it anyway
7-5-2006 20:29 pschemp we already say we don
7-5-2006 20:29 pschemp t condone it
7-5-2006 20:29 Celestianpower Right
7-5-2006 20:30 Celestianpower pschemp: How do you propose we change it?
7-5-2006 20:30 Titoxd well, it's all talk and no action, I'd say that we kick out incivil editors from Esperanza
7-5-2006 20:30 Celestianpower Right
7-5-2006 20:30 Celestianpower One official warning then a boot?
7-5-2006 20:30 pschemp not sure. I think people need to agree to police themselves when they join, but I see a lippery slope and everyone kicked eventually because people are human and make mistakes
7-5-2006 20:31 pschemp CP, you are in violation of it as it is.
7-5-2006 20:31 Titoxd several users are incivil because they are doing things "in Esperanza's name"
7-5-2006 20:31 Celestianpower pschemp: I have done, I agree
7-5-2006 20:31 pschemp I'm sorry, but the evidnce is all over. its too restrictive. no one will be left
7-5-2006 20:31 freakofnurture pschemp, that would leave esperanza with a core nucleus of people who don't actually edit
7-5-2006 20:31 Celestianpower At this point, I would have been given an official warning
7-5-2006 20:32 pschemp freak, we can't police everyone who is a member. it is a waste of time.
7-5-2006 20:32 Celestianpower pschemp: So how do you propose we change it?
7-5-2006 20:32 freakofnurture interestingly enough though, that is the stereotype that some people hold even now
7-5-2006 20:32 pschemp freak, the convo is fractured, what sterotype?
7-5-2006 20:32 freakofnurture "core nucleus of people who don't actually edit"
7-5-2006 20:32 pschemp CP, i said it up there. have people agree to police themselves
7-5-2006 20:33 Titoxd I'm not sure that is sufficient
7-5-2006 20:33 Celestianpower pschemp: Yes, but how? As in, how would you change it?
7-5-2006 20:33 JoanneB why not talk to them though, instead of all this official warning stuff?
7-5-2006 20:33 pschemp well I see thins turning into a witch hunt.
7-5-2006 20:34 pschemp its counterproductive, and not in the spirit of the organization
7-5-2006 20:34 freakofnurture {{mfd}}
7-5-2006 20:34 pschemp if they agree to police themselves, then don't do it, we are not liable for thier actions
7-5-2006 20:34 pschemp people aren't perfect, they make mistakes
7-5-2006 20:34 Celestianpower Yes, but how else do you solve the issue of constantly uncivil editors being members? It damages our reputation and harms our gfoals
7-5-2006 20:35 JoanneB Celestianpower: perhaps exactly by what pschemp says
7-5-2006 20:35 pschemp pschemp> if they agree to police themselves, then don't do it, we are not liable for thier actions
7-5-2006 20:35 pschemp we need a disclaimer
7-5-2006 20:35 Titoxd pschemp: but we *are* liable for their actions in everyone's eyes
7-5-2006 20:35 JoanneB emphasize that we're not perfect, that you don't become perfect by becoming a member of Esperanza
7-5-2006 20:35 pschemp that this an organization made of unperfect people
7-5-2006 20:35 pschemp yes
7-5-2006 20:35 JoanneB that we do our best, but that each member is still an individual
7-5-2006 20:35 Celestianpower Titoxd: I agree
7-5-2006 20:35 pschemp we are trying to help, but we aren't perfect
7-5-2006 20:35 freakofnurture their presence of such users doesn't harm the organization's reputation
7-5-2006 20:36 freakofnurture the organization's defense of said users does, however
7-5-2006 20:36 Titoxd that works for occasional incivility, but that doesn't deal with constantly uncivil editors
7-5-2006 20:36 Celestianpower freakofnurture: Try talking to people in #wikipedia and #wikipedia-en-admins and see if you still have that opinion :P
7-5-2006 20:36 pschemp well those people tend to get banned by arbcom, and the charter already covers that
7-5-2006 20:36 freakofnurture disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer
7-5-2006 20:36 Celestianpower pschemp: They don't
7-5-2006 20:36 freakofnurture i agree with pschemp
7-5-2006 20:37 pschemp if they are found gulity by arbcom of inciviility, then there is no question, and WE didn't make that decision
7-5-2006 20:37 pschemp but a disclaimer covers all of that
7-5-2006 20:37 Celestianpower pschemp: Yes, but very, very few editor do so - and there are many, many more uncivil Wikipeidans than that
7-5-2006 20:37 Celestianpower *constantly
7-5-2006 20:37 pschemp CP, i was adress Titoxd's concern about the really bad ones
7-5-2006 20:38 pschemp *addressing
7-5-2006 20:38 pschemp the disclaimer and self policing covers the rest
7-5-2006 20:38 JoanneB pschemp: if we'd change the wording though, would the code of conduct work for the self policing?
7-5-2006 20:38 pschemp i think it could, and with very minor changes
7-5-2006 20:39 Celestianpower I disagree
7-5-2006 20:39 Titoxd I sure want to do something stronger about editors who say, "You are an {{expletive}} because you don't follow Esperanza's ideas, and I do!"
7-5-2006 20:40 Celestianpower Titoxd: Yes, that's my point
7-5-2006 20:40 Celestianpower Stuff like that never goes to arbcom
7-5-2006 20:40 Celestianpower In fact, incivility rarely goes to arbcom
7-5-2006 20:40 Titoxd IMO, incivility that is done through Esperanza's name is grounds for removing membership
7-5-2006 20:41 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 20:41 freakofnurture ok... well if we are going to have a code of conduct
7-5-2006 20:41 pschemp will not be the judge and jury
7-5-2006 20:41 freakofnurture and specifically prohibit certain types of speech
7-5-2006 20:41 JoanneB I think, we wanted to solve two problems with the CoC. People acting wrongly within the Esperanza stuff (stalking or harrassment on IRC, for instance) and people behaving wrongly *in name of esperanza* outside
7-5-2006 20:41 Celestianpower pschemp: I've no doubt that'll be down to me :P
7-5-2006 20:41 freakofnurture things like "i'm a better member because i'm more civil than you" should be at the top of the list
7-5-2006 20:41 pschemp yes, two different issue
7-5-2006 20:41 pschemp just o muddy the waters...
7-5-2006 20:42 Titoxd mostly the CoC would deal with the two issues JoanneB brought up above
7-5-2006 20:42 pschemp pschemp> if they agree to police themselves, then don't do it, we are not liable for thier actions
7-5-2006 20:42 JoanneB the first could be solved with the self policing and, if nescessary, a conversation with someone, and if the problems continue, dismembership
7-5-2006 20:42 pschemp damn ig nore that
7-5-2006 20:42 JoanneB the second, the disclaimer would solve
7-5-2006 20:42 freakofnurture thoughts...
7-5-2006 20:42 Celestianpower JoanneB: Yes, that sounds good
7-5-2006 20:42 pschemp I'd like to propose that posting of EA channel logs on wikipedia be prohibited. it does more harm than good
7-5-2006 20:42 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 20:42 JoanneB agreed
7-5-2006 20:43 JoanneB especially as it is a common rule on WP anyways
7-5-2006 20:43 Celestianpower But if you're not going to de-member them, pschemp, what are you going to do?
7-5-2006 20:43 Titoxd any channel log should be prohibited, unless it has the explicit authorization of the logged users
7-5-2006 20:43 Titoxd of *all* the log users
7-5-2006 20:43 pschemp no, even then it should be prohibited
7-5-2006 20:43 pschemp it is never productive
7-5-2006 20:43 Celestianpower pschemp: But how are we going to log this then?
7-5-2006 20:43 freakofnurture pschemp, be sure to point out that posting the log in the same breath as asking permission...
7-5-2006 20:43 Celestianpower This is productive logging
7-5-2006 20:43 freakofnurture "hey, can i use this:.."
7-5-2006 20:44 freakofnurture is just as perverse
7-5-2006 20:44 JoanneB Celestianpower: this is different
7-5-2006 20:44 pschemp a bucnh of users could get together and agree to a log to gang up on someione else
7-5-2006 20:44 JoanneB this is not the esperanza channel
7-5-2006 20:44 pschemp exactly
7-5-2006 20:44 Celestianpower JoanneB: I see
7-5-2006 20:44 Celestianpower pschemp: Sorry - got confuced about what you said then
7-5-2006 20:44 Celestianpower *confused
7-5-2006 20:45 Celestianpower  !AC So, are we close to a solution?
7-5-2006 20:45 Titoxd doubt so
7-5-2006 20:45 freakofnurture doubtful indeed
7-5-2006 20:45 Celestianpower Hmm
7-5-2006 20:45 pschemp no, but i think we can make a decision on the log thing, so lets do that
7-5-2006 20:45 freakofnurture maybe if we completely rewrite it
7-5-2006 20:46 freakofnurture CoC 2.0b
7-5-2006 20:46 Celestianpower lol
7-5-2006 20:46 Celestianpower pschemp: Yes
7-5-2006 20:46 freakofnurture lol, pronounce that abbreviation
7-5-2006 20:46 Celestianpower  !AC Are we all in agreement that any logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are prohibitted and any doing so is to be responded with a ban from the channel?
7-5-2006 20:47 pschemp yes
7-5-2006 20:47 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 20:47 freakofnurture YES
7-5-2006 20:47 JoanneB yes
7-5-2006 20:47 freakofnurture and actually enforce it
7-5-2006 20:47 pschemp you need to add a notice like : [#wikipedia-en-admins] This is a private channel. Please do not repost IRC logs, etc. without permission.
7-5-2006 20:47 Titoxd yes
7-5-2006 20:47 Celestianpower But without the "without permission" bit
7-5-2006 20:47 Celestianpower  :P
7-5-2006 20:47 pschemp yes
7-5-2006 20:47 Celestianpower Right, good
7-5-2006 20:47 JoanneB exactly
7-5-2006 20:48 pschemp and it is in force from now on, previous incidents are excepted. (just to be clear)
7-5-2006 20:49 Celestianpower Right, back to the broader issue of the CoC
7-5-2006 20:51 Celestianpower  !AC Are we in agreement of adopting a disclaimer?
7-5-2006 20:51 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 20:51 JoanneB yes
7-5-2006 20:51 Titoxd just a disclaimer?
7-5-2006 20:52 JoanneB no
7-5-2006 20:52 Celestianpower Titoxd: No, just for starters
7-5-2006 20:52 pschemp yes, i think we can work on that first.
7-5-2006 20:52 Celestianpower freakofnurture?
7-5-2006 20:52 Titoxd that seems reasonable, so yes
7-5-2006 20:52 freakofnurture disclaimer yes
7-5-2006 20:52 Celestianpower Right
7-5-2006 20:52 Celestianpower About this self-policing
7-5-2006 20:52 pschemp Esperanza is a communty of people. People are not perfect. while everyone who joins is asked to abide by the ideals of the organization, in reality, people will make mistakes.
7-5-2006 20:53 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 20:53 pschemp (me is trying to write a dsclclaimer here
7-5-2006 20:53 pschemp modify or add please
7-5-2006 20:53 Titoxd capitalize "while", but yes ;)
7-5-2006 20:53 Celestianpower pschemp: We cansort that out later
7-5-2006 20:53 Celestianpower *can sort
7-5-2006 20:53 pschemp no, we need to see it to agree to it
7-5-2006 20:53 Celestianpower pschemp: We do?
7-5-2006 20:53 Celestianpower Something like that will be fine
7-5-2006 20:53 pschemp yes, do it now, get it done with.
7-5-2006 20:53 pschemp why wait?
7-5-2006 20:54 Celestianpower pschemp: freakofnurture has a time limit :P
7-5-2006 20:54 pschemp its simple, its easy, fix it.
7-5-2006 20:54 freakofnurture it would most likely be more difficult to change something that's live
7-5-2006 20:55 Celestianpower How about "Esperanza is a communty of people. People are not perfect. While everyone who joins has agreed to abide by the ideals of the organization, in reality, people will make mistakes."
7-5-2006 20:55 JoanneB Esperanza is a communty of people. People are not perfect. while everyone who joins is asked to abide by the ideals of the organization, in reality, people will make mistakes. If any Esperanza member makes a mistake, please let them know like you would any other user.
7-5-2006 20:55 pschemp (tack this on the end)Please be understanding and do your best to add hope.
7-5-2006 20:55 pschemp yes
7-5-2006 20:55 JoanneB ooh nice
7-5-2006 20:56 Celestianpower Right
7-5-2006 20:56 pschemp Esperanza is a communty of people. People are not perfect. while everyone who joins is asked to abide by the ideals of the organization, in reality, people will make mistakes. If any Esperanza member makes a mistake, please let them know like you would any other user. Be understanding and do your best to add hope.
7-5-2006 20:56 pschemp and capitalize While. :)
7-5-2006 20:56 pschemp how's that?
7-5-2006 20:56 Celestianpower I think "has agreed" is better
7-5-2006 20:56 Celestianpower Since we're planning to have them publicly agree
7-5-2006 20:57 pschemp well right now they haven't agreed yet
7-5-2006 20:57 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 20:57 Celestianpower But they will do
7-5-2006 20:57 pschemp and we are asking them to do this
7-5-2006 20:57 Titoxd well, part of the deal is that they have to agree to the CoC, so I'm with CP here
7-5-2006 20:57 freakofnurture i'm not familiar with the phrase "add hope"
7-5-2006 20:57 pschemp no, they need to agree to TRY to follow it.
7-5-2006 20:57 pschemp the point is we all will fail
7-5-2006 20:58 JoanneB yes
7-5-2006 20:58 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 20:58 Celestianpower is asked => "has agree to try to"?
7-5-2006 20:58 Celestianpower *agreed
7-5-2006 20:58 Titoxd has agreed to try to
7-5-2006 20:58 pschemp so we have been asked, we will will try to do our best.
7-5-2006 20:58 Titoxd and we agree that we will try to do our best
7-5-2006 20:59 pschemp then you need to say, has agreed to try, but i think that's less elegant. however, I'll deal
7-5-2006 20:59 Celestianpower pschemp: The point is, "has agreed to try to" is more person-centred - it's /his/ responsibility to abide by it, since he's publically declared that he will
7-5-2006 20:59 Celestianpower Okay
7-5-2006 21:00 Celestianpower So
7-5-2006 21:00 pschemp Esperanza is a communty of people. People are not perfect. while everyone who joins has agreed to try to abide by the ideals of the organization, in reality, people will make mistakes. If any Esperanza member makes a mistake, please let them know like you would any other user. Be understanding and do your best to add hope.
7-5-2006 21:00 pschemp and the WHILE, ack. :)
7-5-2006 21:00 Celestianpower  !AC Are we all agreed with that wording, with the "w" on while capitalised and "the ideals of the organisation" linked?
7-5-2006 21:01 pschemp yes
7-5-2006 21:01 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 21:01 freakofnurture as long as you spell capitalize with a z
7-5-2006 21:01 pschemp lol
7-5-2006 21:01 Celestianpower lol
7-5-2006 21:01 freakofnurture and organization
7-5-2006 21:01 Celestianpower lol
7-5-2006 21:01 Celestianpower Titoxd? JoanneB?
7-5-2006 21:01 pschemp organization already has a z :)
7-5-2006 21:01 JoanneB yes
7-5-2006 21:01 Titoxd yes
7-5-2006 21:01 Celestianpower Good
7-5-2006 21:02 Celestianpower So
7-5-2006 21:02 Celestianpower Where are we?
7-5-2006 21:02 pschemp ok cool. 2 down, one crazy one to go
7-5-2006 21:02 Celestianpower We have a disclaimer, we've banned logs
7-5-2006 21:02 pschemp goes to read the COC in its current form
7-5-2006 21:02 Celestianpower Could a solution be to re-word it to:
7-5-2006 21:03 Celestianpower As a Wikipedian and Esperanzian, I agree to try to:
7-5-2006 21:03 Celestianpower Yada, yada, yada
7-5-2006 21:03 freakofnurture you have to accept that not everyone will love the CoC
7-5-2006 21:03 pschemp does not love it
7-5-2006 21:03 Celestianpower No
7-5-2006 21:03 Celestianpower It's a rought first draft
7-5-2006 21:03 pschemp cannot find the blsted thing
7-5-2006 21:04 Celestianpower WP:ESP/CC
7-5-2006 21:04 pschemp thanks
7-5-2006 21:05 pschemp um. ok i think we need to remove the part about the IRC channel. like, everyone I know except Joanne has violated that in the channel. the channel needs to be a more free place than the wiki
7-5-2006 21:05 Celestianpower Right
7-5-2006 21:06 pschemp if rule are to be set for that, they need to be separate from the CoC
7-5-2006 21:06 freakofnurture which part
7-5-2006 21:06 pschemp keep the CoC on wiki
7-5-2006 21:06 pschemp This Code of Conduct applies to all Esperanzians, both on Wikipedia and the IRC channel; the Administrator General and Advisory Council are explicitly included.
7-5-2006 21:06 pschemp members to uphold the following rules at all times on both Wikipedia itself and the Esperanza IRC channel.
7-5-2006 21:06 pschemp those parts
7-5-2006 21:06 JoanneB there will need to be separate guidelines for the channels then
7-5-2006 21:07 pschemp yes
7-5-2006 21:07 pschemp i agree we need guidelines, but they shouldnt be lumped together
7-5-2006 21:07 pschemp the channel should be more free.
7-5-2006 21:07 Titoxd I'd say keep the IRC line in until we draft IRC guidelines
7-5-2006 21:08 Celestianpower Refresh
7-5-2006 21:08 pschemp I can't approve the COC if that is in there, so remove it and place proposed IRC guidlines somewhere else
7-5-2006 21:08 pschemp the COC is a proposal right now anyway, so why not get rid?
7-5-2006 21:09 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 21:09 Celestianpower Removed
7-5-2006 21:09 Celestianpower Please refresh
7-5-2006 21:09 freakofnurture do we have any idea of how to enforce the CoC
7-5-2006 21:09 JoanneB we'll need to work on the guidelines for IRC soon then, since the incidents that made me propose the whole thing happened on IRC
7-5-2006 21:10 freakofnurture i mean as it relates to on-site
7-5-2006 21:10 pschemp yes, thats fine
7-5-2006 21:10 pschemp http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AEsperanza%2FCode_of_Conduct&diff=52019636&oldid=52019365
7-5-2006 21:10 Celestianpower JoanneB: yeah, fine
7-5-2006 21:11 JoanneB freakofnurture: that's the big issue, I think we'll have to ask everyone to 'sign' it (renew their membership) or something - and then the self policing mechanism should work - rather than us chasing everyone around
7-5-2006 21:11 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 21:11 pschemp yes. we will have to have everyone re-join under the new terms
7-5-2006 21:11 freakofnurture like if somebody's posting logs, we can give them a 24-hour COC-BLOCK
7-5-2006 21:11 Titoxd JoanneB: it was previously agreed that everyone had to reconfirm their membership
7-5-2006 21:11 freakofnurture or not?
7-5-2006 21:11 Celestianpower http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Esperanza/Code_of_Conduct&diff=0
7-5-2006 21:11 JoanneB Titoxd: ok, I didn't remember if we had agreed on that, but that'd be fine with me
7-5-2006 21:12 pschemp we will have to have everyone re-join under the new terms anyway
7-5-2006 21:12 JoanneB freakofnurture: I don't know about stuff like that - for posting logs, it'd be pretty clear cut, but for the other parts of the CoC it would be much, much more difficult
7-5-2006 21:12 pschemp yes
7-5-2006 21:12 JoanneB I guess we'll have to keep doing that on a case by case basis, like we do now
7-5-2006 21:12 pschemp logs, I'm ok with though
7-5-2006 21:13 JoanneB we have banned people from the channel before, we have removed their memberships (haven't we?) - I'm not sure if we should perform any admin actions though
7-5-2006 21:13 pschemp hmm...
7-5-2006 21:13 JoanneB because that's quite a slippery slope
7-5-2006 21:13 Titoxd I'm not sure we can use any admin actions under WP policy
7-5-2006 21:14 JoanneB Titoxd: exactly
7-5-2006 21:14 pschemp since not everyone in EA is an admin, I don't think that will fly
7-5-2006 21:14 Titoxd logs perhaps, but that would be something that would need to be discussed at #wikipedia, not here
7-5-2006 21:14 pschemp but I wouldn't heistate to delete the revision with the log in it
7-5-2006 21:14 pschemp not block though
7-5-2006 21:14 JoanneB Titoxd: exactly, that would fall under normal policy and normal ways to deal with that
7-5-2006 21:14 Celestianpower # Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel is explicitly banned. Doing so is grounds for an immediate ban from that channel.
7-5-2006 21:15 Celestianpower Is my revision ok?
7-5-2006 21:15 Celestianpower # Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel is explicitly banned. Doing so is grounds for an immediate ban from that channel.
7-5-2006 21:16 pschemp i don't get why that links to meta...?
7-5-2006 21:16 Celestianpower  !AC ?
7-5-2006 21:16 Celestianpower pschemp: That's the relevant policy
7-5-2006 21:17 pschemp where does that note go?
7-5-2006 21:17 freakofnurture m: = meta:
7-5-2006 21:17 JoanneB where would you post that, CP?
7-5-2006 21:17 pschemp on the channel subject?
7-5-2006 21:17 pschemp and where on Esperanza/
7-5-2006 21:17 Celestianpower No, on the Code of Conduct
7-5-2006 21:17 Titoxd on the subject and the CoC?
7-5-2006 21:17 Titoxd (for now)
7-5-2006 21:17 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 21:17 pschemp oh ok
7-5-2006 21:17 freakofnurture so nothing else would really be worthy of a CoC-block then
7-5-2006 21:18 Celestianpower Something else can go in the topic
7-5-2006 21:18 pschemp it needs to be there so people in the channel can see it though
7-5-2006 21:18 Titoxd I'm not sure anything would be worthy of a CoC block, if it isn't covered in the blocking policy already
7-5-2006 21:18 JoanneB freakofnurture: I don't think there should be CoC blocks
7-5-2006 21:18 JoanneB or what Titoxd said
7-5-2006 21:18 Celestianpower I agree
7-5-2006 21:18 JoanneB (again :) )
7-5-2006 21:18 Celestianpower Just bans from the channel
7-5-2006 21:18 freakofnurture well blocking policy says nothing of posting logs either does it?
7-5-2006 21:18 Celestianpower And deletion of revisions
7-5-2006 21:18 pschemp has no idea how to make a message pop up when you sign on, but we should do it.
7-5-2006 21:18 Celestianpower pschemp: Good idea
7-5-2006 21:18 pschemp freakofnurture: no. so we shouldn't do it.
7-5-2006 21:19 freakofnurture or would that be covered under general disruption i guess
7-5-2006 21:19 Celestianpower So, how is it looking now?
7-5-2006 21:19 Celestianpower Better?
7-5-2006 21:19 pschemp ok, I think we should add the disclaimer, the IRC log thing to the COC and then open the latest revisions of the COC to comment
7-5-2006 21:20 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 21:20 Celestianpower Add the disclaimer
7-5-2006 21:20 pschemp and add the log notice to the channel message
7-5-2006 21:20 Titoxd /msg chanserv help set entrymsg
7-5-2006 21:20 pschemp disclaimer on the front page?
7-5-2006 21:20 pschemp or the top of the charter?
7-5-2006 21:20 JoanneB front page, I think
7-5-2006 21:20 pschemp agrees
7-5-2006 21:21 Celestianpower And charter
7-5-2006 21:21 Celestianpower Both
7-5-2006 21:21 Celestianpower "Esperanza is a communty of people. People are not perfect. While everyone who joins has agreed to try to abide by these ideals, in reality, people will make mistakes. If any Esperanza member makes a mistake, please let them know like you would any other user. Be understanding and do your best to add hope."
7-5-2006 21:21 Celestianpower In the intro
7-5-2006 21:21 pschemp as long as it isn't an addendum to the charter, which needs a membership vote. make sure it is separtae
7-5-2006 21:22 Celestianpower Yes, it is
7-5-2006 21:22 Celestianpower Refresh and see
7-5-2006 21:22 freakofnurture takes a quick shower
7-5-2006 21:22 Celestianpower lol
7-5-2006 21:23 Celestianpower So, how are we doing?
7-5-2006 21:23 pschemp ok so what next with COC? open for discusiion on latest revision? then re-join membership?
7-5-2006 21:23 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 21:23 JoanneB yeah
7-5-2006 21:23 Celestianpower  !AC All in agreement with more discussion then a re-join of membership so long as it garners consensus?
7-5-2006 21:24 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 21:24 pschemp all in favor...say aye!
7-5-2006 21:24 pschemp  :)
7-5-2006 21:24 Celestianpower aye
7-5-2006 21:24 pschemp read Robert's rule of order :)
7-5-2006 21:24 pschemp *rules
7-5-2006 21:24 JoanneB aye
7-5-2006 21:24 pschemp aye
7-5-2006 21:24 Celestianpower Titoxd?
7-5-2006 21:24 pschemp freakofnurture: shout from the shower!
7-5-2006 21:24 Celestianpower lol
7-5-2006 21:24 Titoxd I'm still wondering about the cases that merit removal of membership
7-5-2006 21:25 Titoxd does this vote close all discussion today about the CoC?
7-5-2006 21:25 Celestianpower Titoxd: Depends
7-5-2006 21:25 pschemp no it doesn;t
7-5-2006 21:25 JoanneB I really think that will be a case-by-case basis thing again, Titoxd
7-5-2006 21:25 pschemp its opens it to a new round of discussion on the latest revisions we just did
7-5-2006 21:25 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 21:25 pschemp oooh
7-5-2006 21:25 Titoxd yes with that one
7-5-2006 21:26 Celestianpower Good
7-5-2006 21:26 pschemp ok.
7-5-2006 21:26 Celestianpower Right, moving on?
7-5-2006 21:26 pschemp freakofnurture is too wet to answer
7-5-2006 21:26 JoanneB yes
7-5-2006 21:26 Titoxd lol
7-5-2006 21:26 Celestianpower Right
7-5-2006 21:26 Celestianpower I think I'm out of issues
7-5-2006 21:26 Celestianpower Oh no, wait
7-5-2006 21:26 Titoxd just do it at the main Esperanza talk page, so everyone sees it
7-5-2006 21:26 pschemp Titoxd: yes
7-5-2006 21:27 Celestianpower I was talkingt o ILovePlankton yesterday and he brought up the issue of argumentativeness
7-5-2006 21:27 Celestianpower We saw the discussions getting heated in the Nathan issue, and the Karmafist one
7-5-2006 21:27 Celestianpower Is there anything we can do to calm this?
7-5-2006 21:27 pschemp I don't think so.
7-5-2006 21:28 Celestianpower Hmmm
7-5-2006 21:28 JoanneB I think the most important thing we can do as AC and admin gen, is do everything not to make things worse
7-5-2006 21:28 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 21:28 JoanneB don't fuel the arguments
7-5-2006 21:28 pschemp yes
7-5-2006 21:28 Titoxd I think that's all we can do
7-5-2006 21:28 Celestianpower JoanneB: As I need to learn :P
7-5-2006 21:28 Celestianpower Well, sometimes
7-5-2006 21:29 Celestianpower The cmment in IRC was the only misdemeanour I've made for a while
7-5-2006 21:29 Celestianpower *comment
7-5-2006 21:29 pschemp oh hey, the policy here should answer freakofnurture's question, you can ban and delete, but nothing is said of blocking, so i think that's a no-no. : Violaters will be subject to a ban from all Wikimedia channels and deletion of the logs.)
7-5-2006 21:29 JoanneB ah, ok, that settles that then
7-5-2006 21:29 pschemp (from meta) sorry to change the subject
7-5-2006 21:29 Celestianpower Okay
7-5-2006 21:30 Celestianpower Changed
7-5-2006 21:30 Celestianpower Right
7-5-2006 21:30 pschemp anything else the AC needs to discuss?
7-5-2006 21:30 Celestianpower Any other business?
7-5-2006 21:30 pschemp can't think of any
7-5-2006 21:30 Celestianpower  !AC Any other business?
7-5-2006 21:30 JoanneB CP: you brought up the number of elections earlier
7-5-2006 21:30 Titoxd yes
7-5-2006 21:30 Celestianpower Oh yes
7-5-2006 21:30 Celestianpower But teas on the table
7-5-2006 21:31 Celestianpower  :P
7-5-2006 21:31 Celestianpower We'll have to pause :(
7-5-2006 21:31 Titoxd I had to have breakfast here, so no :P
7-5-2006 21:31 Celestianpower My parents won't allow me not to
7-5-2006 21:31 JoanneB  :P
7-5-2006 21:31 Celestianpower  :(
7-5-2006 21:31 Celestianpower will be back as soon as possible
7-5-2006 21:32 pschemp what about the number of elections?
7-5-2006 21:32 JoanneB well, while CP is away (guess we can't get around that) I'll fill you in: there are elections every two months now, which might be a bit much, for the amount of energy and attention they demand
7-5-2006 21:32 freakofnurture searches for socks and underwear
7-5-2006 21:33 freakofnurture semi-back, but only for a few minutes
7-5-2006 21:33 freakofnurture if it's important, say it now
7-5-2006 21:33 JoanneB a solution would be hard to find though, I think - we don't want to make the terms too long, because a few months is already a pretty long time in wikiterms
7-5-2006 21:33 JoanneB on the other hand, you do want some continuity
7-5-2006 21:34 pschemp pschemp> ok so what next with COC? open for discusiion on latest revision? then re-join membership?
7-5-2006 21:34 pschemp <Celestianpower> Yes
7-5-2006 21:34 JoanneB I guess that was the issue, I'm not sure if I remember all that CP said about it earlier - he'll have to fill it in later
7-5-2006 21:34 pschemp <JoanneB> yeah
7-5-2006 21:34 pschemp <Celestianpower> !AC All in agreement with more discussion then a re-join of membership so long as it garners consensus?
7-5-2006 21:34 pschemp <Celestianpower> Yes
7-5-2006 21:34 pschemp that's for you freak
7-5-2006 21:34 pschemp agree or disagree
7-5-2006 21:34 pschemp hmmm
7-5-2006 21:35 freakofnurture yeah
7-5-2006 21:35 freakofnurture make sure everybody who can't adapt has the chance to leave
7-5-2006 21:35 freakofnurture and everybody who's on the list, even though they've quit, will also be removed
7-5-2006 21:36 JoanneB yes
7-5-2006 21:36 pschemp yes
7-5-2006 21:37 pschemp i don't have good answer for the elctions. in the light of a lack of solution, i say leave it. or maybe extend it to 3 months? that makes it 4 times a year?
7-5-2006 21:37 JoanneB yes, that would be my compromise as well
7-5-2006 21:37 away bye
7-5-2006 21:37 JoanneB away
7-5-2006 21:38 Celestianpower Back
7-5-2006 21:38 pschemp read up
7-5-2006 21:38 Celestianpower Have done
7-5-2006 21:38 Celestianpower Sounds good to me
7-5-2006 21:38 Celestianpower 4 elections per year
7-5-2006 21:39 Celestianpower Better than it is with 6
7-5-2006 21:39 Titoxd it's a charter change, though
7-5-2006 21:39 JoanneB yes
7-5-2006 21:39 pschemp yes, which means a whole membership vote
7-5-2006 21:39 Celestianpower Yes, community consensus would need ot begarnered
7-5-2006 21:39 JoanneB yeah, it does
7-5-2006 21:39 Celestianpower A vote?
7-5-2006 21:39 pschemp so write it up and have a discussion/vote
7-5-2006 21:39 pschemp whatever the charter calls for
7-5-2006 21:39 Celestianpower I thought we'd agreed not to vote on ch\arter changes
7-5-2006 21:40 pschemp i know I'm just using short words
7-5-2006 21:40 pschemp its a discussion
7-5-2006 21:40 Celestianpower Okay
7-5-2006 21:40 JoanneB Celestianpower: yes, but since it says in the charter that we do, we'd need one last referendum to change that
7-5-2006 21:41 Celestianpower JoanneB: I guess so
7-5-2006 21:41 JoanneB we can't take it out of the charter because we decide to :)
7-5-2006 21:41 pschemp yup
7-5-2006 21:41 Titoxd since I can see this change causing a bit of controversy, I'd say a vote is needed
7-5-2006 21:41 Celestianpower  !AC We agreed that we should have a referendum about whether to remove the referendums from the charter?
7-5-2006 21:41 pschemp which change? the 3 moth thing?
7-5-2006 21:41 Celestianpower Aye
7-5-2006 21:41 pschemp huh? I don't understnad
7-5-2006 21:42 Celestianpower As in, make it so that a change requires consensus, not a vote
7-5-2006 21:42 pschemp reads the charter
7-5-2006 21:43 Celestianpower That whole last section would need a rewrite
7-5-2006 21:44 pschemp we need to vote on that change though, I agree with Titoxd
7-5-2006 21:44 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 21:44 pschemp write it up if you wish
7-5-2006 21:44 Celestianpower  !AC Are we agreed to hold a vote as to whether to rewrite the whole last section of the charter to remove the need for referenda?
7-5-2006 21:44 JoanneB yes
7-5-2006 21:44 Celestianpower Yes
7-5-2006 21:45 pschemp yes
7-5-2006 21:45 Titoxd yes
7-5-2006 21:45 pschemp voting is evil but neccessary here
7-5-2006 21:45 Celestianpower Good
7-5-2006 21:45 Celestianpower Do I need to do that or will someone else?
7-5-2006 21:45 pschemp will not :)
7-5-2006 21:45 Titoxd how about we hold the two elections at the same time (referenda + duration change)
7-5-2006 21:46 Titoxd looks at the boss
7-5-2006 21:46 pschemp might as well.
7-5-2006 21:46 JoanneB yes
7-5-2006 21:46 Celestianpower Titoxd: Nah - that would make more votes
7-5-2006 21:46 Celestianpower And make it more complicated
7-5-2006 21:46 Celestianpower And time consuming
7-5-2006 21:46 JoanneB it would save time
7-5-2006 21:46 pschemp why?
7-5-2006 21:46 JoanneB not cost :)
7-5-2006 21:46 Celestianpower Okay then
7-5-2006 21:46 Celestianpower I guess I'm outnumberefd
7-5-2006 21:46 pschemp two different issues, separate votes, just post at the same time
7-5-2006 21:46 pschemp easier
7-5-2006 21:46 Titoxd yeah
7-5-2006 21:46 Celestianpower *outnumbered

7-5-2006 21:49 Titoxd I've discussed it on the Esperanza talk page, and the reaction has been mostly favorable, so just wanting final aproval before clearing out everything there
7-5-2006 21:49 Celestianpower Titoxd: Can we deal with that after deciding on the newsletter
7-5-2006 21:49 Celestianpower  ?
7-5-2006 21:49 JoanneB Titoxd: sounds good
7-5-2006 21:49 Titoxd ok

7-5-2006 21:52 Celestianpower Titoxd: looks good to me
7-5-2006 21:53 Titoxd  !AC - so, does anyone object to the changes?
7-5-2006 21:53 Celestianpower No
7-5-2006 21:53 JoanneB no
7-5-2006 21:54 Celestianpower Good
