Proposed by: Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)}

Image suggestions Anyone like a particular logo from tenwiki:Design? Personally, I think we ought to grab File:10mark_k.svg and stick that onto the puzzle piece in our logo that has the W, in place of it. That'll require a bit of SVG editing, but if I hit a dull spot someday (even if it's over the summer), I can do that. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 06:14, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We could either put that on our existing puzzle piece, or you could try and make the puzzle piece look more like the ones that they have made already. Obviously, we wouldn't just copy theirs onto the card, but maybe you could try and make a version of the black puzzle piece that looks similar to the current one? Bleh. I sound idiotic. Hopefully, you get what I mean. In the meantime, I need to get some sleep; I am having to retype almost everything I say, because I keep hitting the wrong keys. :) ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 07:01, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

image

I think it would be more appropriate to include one of the thousands of photos from the various festivities. Perhaps one of a cake, or of people having fun...preferences? Here's the collection to browse through...I didn't even get through a decent amount of photos before realizing input from others would be valuable during the selection of an image. I have no idea how rare these will be...it all depends on how many people have the coupon (it was distributed via the Wiki-X mailing list prior to the festivities, so event leaders included it at their own discretion, and attendees held onto it at their own discretion, and more than likely, very few of these people will redeem the coupon, so I'm guessing this card will be exceedingly rare!). Bob the WikipediaN ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:45, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I handed them out at the meetup I went to, but I doubt anyone kept them. And I have it sitting on my desktop (I should probably back that up, it would be sad if I couldn't get a card I helped to design). I don't know if the card's rarity will mean anything for long, I could get rich selling free WikiTen cards on Amazon :) As for the pictures, I guess real pictures are fine, too, although I thought the globe I made was pretty impressive. Skimming through those bagillions of pictures, I came across a few I liked (A • B • C • D [I've obviously got a sweet tooth]). —Airhogs777 (complaints • evidence • job) 06:31, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My fault-- I should have been clearer! I was thinking along the lines of lightening the dark photo. Perhaps the midtones can be brought out or something; it looks dark and will be darker in ink than it will be on the screen. Bob the WikipediaN ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:44, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I lightened it, but I think it might be a bit too light. —Airhogs777 (complaints • evidence • job) 05:25, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a proposal that's rather time-sensitive. In 9 days, Wikipedians around the world will celebrate ten years of Wikipedia. Let's contribute to that celebration by offering those hosting the party a decennial promotion card. Since the cards obviously haven't been arranged to be printed yet, of course, we'd issue a sort of coupon. This coupon could be something really simple, like "In celebration of 10 years of Wikipedia, you are entitled to a free promotional decennial card once the Wikipedia Trading Card Game is finished being developed and released."

Thoughts? Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:20, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

yes.--CanvasHat 22:22, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! With two supports, I'm going to send this on up to the approved section, due to its time-sensitive nature. Bob, will you handle letting the people who would get a coupon know about this? Seems fitting, as you are our still charismatic leader (for now...). I think you should design this one as well, due to your cards being of very god quality (don't worry; I said god on purpose now, as I no doubt will forever). ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 02:56, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a message out in the open on a random page where I'm hoping a few folks might cast their eyes near it. Now we've got some real motivation to get this thing developed. Just think of all the fans who would be disappointed if they could never redeem their coupons. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 04:07, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How will people redeem it, exactly? There aren't any good ways that I can think of, at the moment. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 04:15, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we could set up a link at WP:TCG with the text "click here to redeem a coupon", and behind that link, we have an address they can mail it to. Then we can mail them their promo card. By the way, I just had a look at our store where we're planning on selling this. Without a direct link from WP:TCG to the product, no one will ever accidentally stumble upon even the store, much less the product. Just something for us to keep in mind once we released this thing. Which, by the way, will happen. I'm guessing we're only two years away, unless we come across major problems between now and then. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 06:14, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As long as it isn't my address, I'm fine with that. :) We'll advertise the game all over Wikipedia (and meta, perhaps?), I'm sure. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 06:36, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, do I need to print one of these coupons, or can I just have one of these cards when this finishes? I think that anyone that is deserving of a tribute card shouldn't need to print a coupon. What do you think? ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 06:52, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm cool with that. I can't help but wonder what facility we'll have to go through to print these cards...but we'll worry about that later. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:39, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"If, for instance, a long-standing editor makes a lot of tyops, it's perfectly reasonable to check their contrib logs for similar tyops and fixing them." -Radiant!

Quote suggestions

"A typographical error is a mistake made in ... teh manual type-setting of printed material." -Typographical error article

Or something along that line? Also, for future reference, are ellipses necessary in the quotes? I know it is generally done, but seems like it would disrupt the fluency a bit in short quotes. EW_{_i}kist^Talk 22:10, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would say so. I'll have a quick look and see if I can't figure out who introduced that sentence to the article...I'd rather we quote the person instead of the article. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:00, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mind linking to the edit? I'm not finding it. And, as best I can tell, it would have been vandalism, as the original version of that sentence was typo-free. Is quoting vandalism advisable? Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:19, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that was an intentional typo... I thought it would be kinda' funny, having a "teh" mistake on the card, but I understand if we can't do it because its not a direct quote. That being said, even though it doesn't apply to this, I would say that there isn't anything wrong with quoting vandalism; it would be similar to naming "bad article" cards after WP:DAFT, right? EW_{_i}kist^Talk 16:28, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't thought of it that way-- we decided against cards like "Willy on Wheels" because it would glorify a real life vandal. The reason we're using actual deleted titles for bad articles is to prevent the introduction of bad titles inspired by the game-- if the page gets recreated, someone's likely still watching that title. So now I'm not really sure what to say about this...I do like the idea of an actual typo in reference to typos, but I'm not sure I like one taken straight from an article...perhaps there's a good quote out there (and I'd recommend, since we'll be pointing out someone's flaw, that we get approval from them). Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 04:15, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll keep an eye out for one. Finding good quotes is so difficult these days...

EW_{_i}kist^Talk 23:42, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend doing an advanced search and unchecking "article". Most good quotes will be found on talk pages. But yes, it takes a lot of effort (and creative searching) to find a good one. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:28, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What about this one? I would assume the typos are intentional here. EW_{_i}kist^Talk 22:17, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So I take it that you mean that an article would be lowered a level? If I have interpreted it correctly, then I like it. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 18:26, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I like teh idea, but I think "Teh" might be a more appropriate name-- "tyop" doesn't come across to me as an obvious typo-- rather, it reminds me of "sysop" and I had to wonder if that was some access level I was unaware of. "Teh" is an easily recognizable typo, I think (correct me if I'm wrong), and teh most common one, too.

Also...remember a vandalism doesn't need to have a special text on it-- it's an edit that can be reverted (and a typo is something simple enough that a simple quick reversion or edit will fix, so I don't think it makes sense to bump it down a whole class. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:06, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

True. I agree with that now. I propose that we never have text for vandalism cards (which would mean that you should take "Text" out of the preload... Actually, never mind; that's where someone could write something clever). ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 02:32, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt we'll have copyright issues with this one. —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse (talk • contribs • wikia) 02:15, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll support this one.

. If we have any problems at all, it'll be getting this game made and marketed with the approval of Wikimedia, not putting Wikipedia on one more card hahahaha. As far as I can tell, Jimbo doen't have an issue with it, but then again, apparently some guy name Zack is the person to talk to about it. I don't know who Zack is...do you guys? Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:30, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Zach? seriously?

If this thing is actually going to happen, I doubt there would be a problem with this one. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 19:34, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tribute? I don't think it needs to be tributed to anyone...it's a formerly featured article, so it already qualifies. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:01, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But I still need a tribute card. —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse (talk • contribs • wikia) 15:43, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, pick one that hasn't been featured. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 04:50, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if I feel comfortable with that. All of the best articles are featured (duh,) that and/or copyright infringement!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.196.155.178 (talk) 01:25, 22 December 2010

The difference between a featured article and an unfeatured featureworthy article is that a featured article has been noticed. There are hundreds if not thousands out there. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:07, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a problem with having an otherwise-eligible card for a tribute card... ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 03:38, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If it's SO much trouble, I'll pick another. —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse (talk • contribs • wikia) 06:23, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image suggestions

Any ideas of a user access level icon that would appear on all cards requiring this user access level? Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 06:10, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~What if we had some sort of universal user image, like this, and simply put the access level on it as text? EW_{_i}kist^Talk 19:59, 1 January 2011 (UTC)~~[reply]

I was planning on using the icons that appear on each user access level. This user access level still needs an icon, though. Sorry for the confusion. Perhaps a green checkmark to represent the confirmation? Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 03:56, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, didn't read the question properly. But maybe it could be something like this but with a check mark instead of an exclamation point? EW_{_i}kist^Talk 22:47, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That'd probably be fine. I'll recommend this checkmark. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 05:33, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
