mumetica Hi, I have a longer question/request for advice but before I post it I wanted to know: Do all platforms that are bridged to the discord server support the flavor of markdown Discord uses?

#
aaronpk no, and long messages are generally not bridged well at all. I'd recommend posting a few short sentences, or if it's really long, write a post on your website and share a link to it

[Michael_Kupiet] Hey, I want to clownsource an opinion. I haven't contributed to the Wiki much, and I was thinking about adding this section to the /Caw page. It's not directly IndieWeb-related, but it's caw-related and I'm positive would be of interest to some of the community members with Caw pages. Opinions? Appropriate addition or inappropriate?
#
[Michael_Kupiet] == In Popular Culture ==
#
[Michael_Kupiet] [https://publicdomainreview.org Public Domain Review] describes it as "A rather sad tale, told in rhyme, of a group of crows who lose some of their family members due to a farmer who decides to rid himself of the birds." The illustrator is believed to be [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jemima%20Blackburn Jemima Blackburn], a noted Scottish illustrator of birds of the time.
#
[Michael_Kupiet] [https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/caw-caw-or-the-chronicle-of-crows-ca-1848/ Caw! Caw! Or the Chronicle of Crows, A Tale of the Spring Time] is an 1848 book by R.M., published by Grant & Griffith in London.
#
[tantek] [Michael_Kupiet] IMO it's borderline. Normally I'd say that sounds like general knowledge, not indieweb-specific, so Wikipedia would be a better destination. However, Wikipedia's caw (sound) page redirects to a brief section here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvus#Calls that doesn't feel receptive to such details.
#
[tantek] The other thing is that page is say on the more "humorous" or "lighthearted" side of the wiki pages we have so expanding it as such seems fairly harmless 🙂
#
[tantek] just one opinion
#
[Michael_Kupiet] Pretty much my thoughts exactly, that's why I asked. I wouldn't consider adding something like this on a more serious topic.
#
[tantek] I would encourage you to add a one line summary of that book however to the Wikipedia CAW disambiguation page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAW
#
[tantek] see for example how the "Bang Bang" disambiguation page refers to movies, songs, and other media in a few instances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_Bang
#
[Michael_Kupiet] Oh, interesting. Man, I don't believe I've contributed anything to WP in about 19 years, but I'll have a look at that.
#
[Michael_Kupiet] (Giving you what my friend calls the "California RSVP". "Yeah! That sounds great!" Will it happen? ...maybe 😉 )
#
[tantek] disambiguation pages are among the easier to edit in my experience (and get the addition to "stick" as it were)
#
[tantek] [Michael_Kupiet] said "recent experience" FYI: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Boom_Boom&diff=1342633473&oldid=1334132899 (which was [artlung]'s "fault")

[Al_Abut] [Michael_Kupiet] do it, make an edit! [tantek] got me into it over the holidays and I made my first edits ever, something like 20+ years after first creating my wikipedia account
