The NES Wiki - Get Wiki With It

[Gelion]

Do we only have NESers as a category?
or if I were to rephrase:
"What categories do we have?"

You can find them listed here.

That sounds quite sensible to me. Symphony D. is a very sensible person :O

Nice try, pal. That perfect Spanish almost had me. It'd be hablo!

I'm rather glad to see a boost in contribution from everyone. Keep it up! I myself have been somewhat distracted by SMAC (Cybernetic Consciousness > you) and some other things but just as a heads up over today and tomorrow I'll probably be tagging up stubs, category linking, the community page, and a new skeleton for NESing, and NES. Here's basically my thoughts on organization:

• NESing, being the verb form, is the main action (it is what we all do), and under that are things like orders, updates, stories, and so on. It's the process. Page and category.
• NESer(s), the participants, are set up like they are now. If somebody wants to start working on this page feel free, there's a skeleton already there. Page and category (subcategory of NESing; current NESer list a subcategory of NESer category--follow that?
• NES, the actual format of NESes; types, history, and so on. Page and category (subcategory of NESing, future directory or summaries listing a subcategory of NES category).

Essentially, it'd be built like a tree; NESing would be the trunk, NESer and NES the main branches, each splitting off into their own subcategories, on and on. Room for growth would be in there by doing subpages for things like history and what not as more is added. That sound sensible to folks? Any opinions?

Ah ha! Subjunctive tense! Dudas que implies doubt, hence the clarification with yo! Though Penny-Arcade is pretty great...

And could someone begin compiling a list of past NESes? I know this would be massive, and wouldn't necesssarily need to be 100% complete, but it would save all of us time in our field histories

The NES Directory should help, at least up until mid 2004...

 

[LightFang]

I never even knew we had a NES Directory. That's pretty crazy.

Hey, subjunctive tense! That's...cool. We should revive it within the English language. I hereby require that all people be aware of the subjunctive tense and be able to use it properly.

Dear God no... the subjunctive (combined with the imperfect) are the two worst aspects of Spanish...

And as for the directory, I had no idea it existed either.

 

[LightFang]

Je ne parle pas espagnol, monsieur, je parle un peu de français. Le français est plus difficile, je crois.

Subjunctive is really easy in English, actually. That's perhaps because it's almost died out. HOW SAD. If I were you, I would push forward the use of the subjunctive, because it hasn't died out completely!

--

To keep this on topic...er...I think we need some editing majors and such. Symphony D. really needs so help, I mean, he's got two jobs, man. I like going to Recent Changes, reading new articles, and fixing up grammar. That's just my kind of little important background detail work.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

How's subjunctive work?

OT: So Sym, an answer to my question of what's with the major/minor editor thing?

[Lord_Iggy]

Well then, I could be an Editor Major if you'd like another one.

 

[Symphony D.]

Retroactive deletion.

 

[LightFang]

@Iggy: Subjunctive mood is like when you are saying something that is contrary to fact, or a wish, or stuff like that. A lot of times, people just use those verbs like "could" "would" "should" to mean the same thing.

So: I wish he were better at chess.
or: I wish he would be better at chess.

I really think, for all intents and purposes, Symphony D. is pretty much in charge of the show, really. He's put so much of his heart and soul into it!

 

[Oruc]

I think its a nice idea, but I can't really be bothered to add anything, only thing I can think of adding would be Puglover to the Neser page and getting rid of all that crap in Amon Savags.

 

[Thlayli]

Ok, crucial question here.

Is wiki pronounced wii-kee, or wick-ee?

 

[Symphony D.]

Retroactive deletion.

 

[LightFang]

I say "wick-e-pee-dee-ya" but it's "Get wee-kee with it"

I know, bloody weird. And sometimes I'll even mess myself up and switch it around!

 

[jeps]

not wiikii. that is either too much nintendo-ifying or New Zealand gone wrong. also, imparfait is horrible. I remember learning that in french. Subjunctive not so much, but it seems I use it without knowing in other languages. Baruch Hashem Hebrew's an easy language.

 

[Insane_Panda]

I don't know why you guys consider imparfait difficult. We do the same thing in English, except in french you just add rather uniform endings to the verbs.
