#
Artoria2e5 okay...
#
Artoria2e5 ?def Artoria2e5 is Mingye Wang and can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Artoria2e5
#
Artoria2e5 nvm the jibot isn't even current
#
[KevinMarks] we haven't had a jibot for a while, we have Loqi
#
Artoria2e5 yeah i was just reading the wiki page without taking note of the data
#
Artoria2e5 date*
#
Artoria2e5 anyways are the admins taking a break or..
#
gRegorLove Let me see if I can help
#
gRegorLove I didn't realized new registrations were locked down
#
gRegorLove aaronpk, do we have that process documented somewhere?
#
aaronpk I am not sure
#
aaronpk but also expecting a response within just a few minutes is not reasonable
#
gRegorLove I found a CreateAccount page I have access to. I'll pm you Artoria2e5

@gotwalt Clubhouse today reminds me of Twitter circa 2009 - microformats became bios, social media experts are moderators now, and despite the hype it’s mostly the audio equivalent of a drawn-out #poopin tweet. This format needs time to figure itself out, but it will. (twitter.com/_/status/1361880457730613251)

#
[tantek] hey Artoria2e5 are there any particular goals you have for improving the microformats wiki or specific microformats use/improvement goals themselves?
#
[tantek] e.g. that page has been untouched (and is likely VERY out of date) for ~10 years so I'm not sure it's worth the effort to "fix" it
#
[tantek] (see https://microformats.org/wiki/index.php?title=geo-extension-nonWGS84&action=history )
#
Artoria2e5 it's been referred to on wikipedia and...
#
Artoria2e5 now that you've mentioned it maybe i should just delete the links
#
Artoria2e5 ...still, I am a bit interested in doing non-WGS84 for h-geo. I guess I should write a new page?
#
[tantek] rather perhaps start with a discussion of what use-cases you're trying to solve
#
[tantek] like what's the context on Wikipedia?
#
Artoria2e5 on wikipedia it
#
Artoria2e5 it's just linked to the geo microformat page. [...why is the ' key so close to enter]
#
Artoria2e5 on the other hand we got this issue cropping up every few months on wikidata where we want to come up with the right way of tagging stuff on not-earch
#
[tantek] in general Wikipedia's pages on microformats are horribly out of date and show an inaccurate dated perspective
#
[tantek] they're almost all centered around frozen classic microformats, whereas the predominant uses of microformats has transitioned to microformats2 many years ago
#
[tantek] tagging data on wikidata seems like quite an interesting use case!
#
[tantek] what's "not-earch"?
#
Artoria2e5 not earth*
#
Artoria2e5 yeah...
#
[tantek] I think the larger challenge there is to do research on how do astronomers tag data on other bodies
#
[tantek] like how does NASA etc. tag the locations of photos of the moon, mars etc.
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[tantek] and figuring what the consuming code use-case is
Seirdy joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] they have other geoids
#
[tantek] seems like a partial answer. this has been the historical problem with the mars / moon stuff on the wiki. none of it actually referenced the *real work* that astronomers do to track / document / catalog this stuff.
#
[tantek] doing armchair nih science like that is no good

@ellisgl ↩️ Then after that, you start digging in to microformats and no one sees you for weeks. (twitter.com/_/status/1362027704103567364)
