Do you think it makes us come across as communists? 77.99.57.229 19:40, 22 January 2008 (EST)
 * Well, the red star is a symbol of socialism... so it might. --Liberal- Elassint Hi! :) 09:37, 25 January 2008 (EST)
 * Well yes, at least Uncyclopedia thinks so, but yes I think it should be changed, otherwise the far right and well, just the right, are going to start some sort of anti-communism thing against us. Ok that's paranoid, but what I mean is it opens us up to ridicule, and that could be avoided with a nice circle, for instance.--Liberal- Jasajo

Red, Star, everyone being equal, it's a little bit Socialist, but who cares? Liberal-DillyDally 06:33, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

There's no absolute truth - it's all relative
It's all relative. One cannot affirm that there is a single uppercase T Truth that is more valid than all the other truths that came from other cultural backgrounds; these backgrounds are not worse than our own, just different. A post-modernistic view will hold that each reality paradigm is equally valid, depending on the specific cultural context. To not have that in mind that would be eurocentristic/monotheistic, non-multiculturalistic, and would only serve the interests of the socio-economic elites, which is unfair. In the case of liberapedia, the reality whose truths matter most is the social reality, rather than things like economic reality, spiritual reality, bourgeoise-science reality or mathematical reality - paradigms whose truths may be socially harmful in so many ways. So I suggest to change the slogan "with 100% truth" to something like "100% accordingly with the social reality truth" (perhaps 99,99%). May contain also some truths of proletarian-science and even ecumenic science, whenever it's socially acceptable for the common good.--Liberal-Tovarisch 13:53, 23 January 2008 (EST)

Bit Quiet
Been a bit quiet here recently, anybody have any suggestions as to what should replace Bill Gates on the main page? Liberal-AJUK talk 05:48, 31 January 2008 (EST)

Update tonight
Ok, so tonight I'm going to be getting the new hosting and updating the mediawiki software, I'll be taking a backup of the wiki here so there should be no problems with the wiki. I'll post after I've taken the backup and any new posts after that won't be on the next version. Not sure how long everything will take, might be a few days before everything is up and running 100% Liberal-WillH 22:14, 1 February 2008 (EST)

I think we should have more on it on this site. Liberal-AJUK talk 13:15, 5 March 2008 (EST)

Template help
Hello, how DO I get templates onto a page?

Liberal-retsam! 17:46, 5 March 2008 (EST)


 * Place the name of the template (example: Template:Example) in two {'s then two }'s at the end (like this: ). The template must exist, so this will work:

(that is the "Wikify" template)

But this won't (you can tell because of the red link):

Because the template doesn't exist, the red link appears in it's place, which when clicked, leads to the edit page for creating that non-existent template - something you'll learn a lot later :). --Liberal- Ryan  02:24, 6 March 2008 (EST)

Blank section
There is a space in the bottom right hand section of the main page. Perhaps we can think of something to fill the blank. Liberal-Barbara Shack 07:16, 15 March 2008 (EDT)

Presidential campaign
How about a box about the 2008 presidential election? like delegate counts or something LYRELLE

 * Someone, please, remove that image if they have ANY PROBLEM WITH IT AT ALL -- Liberal-Lyrelle 21:42, 16 March 2008 (EDT)

How about making the presidential candidates into two columns? The Democrats can go underneath the donkey. The Republicans can go underneath the elephant. That way they take up less space and the two sides of the page will balance.Liberal-Barbara Shack 16:59, 18 March 2008 (EDT) Feel free to help out with the formatting, I really don't get the markup code used. Liberal-Lyrelle 17:51, 18 March 2008 (EDT)

How about making the purple section saying, "Some Recent Content" Biggger.

The purple section saying, "About Liberapedia" could also get a bit bigger. Then the purple at the bottom could be smaller and everything would balance.Liberal-Barbara Shack 17:32, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Very close now, just 200 articles more to go! It's not that many more --Liberal-Lyra Belaqua 01:32, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

Protected
OK I fully protected this page again, do you think it should stay that way? Liberal-AJUK talk 19:47, 31 March 2008 (EDT)

I'm taking over!! on the 1st April
I have found a way to hack this site and take over, I shall block Elassint, he is a rubbish sysop because he blocks more trolls than me and he is a little whiny bitch! Liberal-AJUK talk 20:10, 31 March 2008 (EDT)

New main page
I've proposed a new main page with "normal" colours and better placing of stuff, see User:Ryan/Main Page. --Liberal-Ryan 08:50, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

That Communits flag will put people off!Liberal-Barbara Shack 04:21, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
 * I didn't put that there --Liberal-Ryan 06:49, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

I've just suddenly thought. How about allowing the main page to be edited for an hour or so at a time. This can be done with a sysop around so the page can be protected fast if needed.Liberal-Barbara Shack 04:29, 4 April 2008 (EDT)


 * Yes we need a new main page, we need a featured article template, and I don't see why we need a permanent template devoted to the US election on the main page. When It comes to featured articles may I suggest Flat earth society as an article to work on their is a lot to go on and it can be really funny without making anything up. Ajuk 20:21, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Great idea! Let's have the Flat Earth Society. We need the US Election about half the time, I feel as many of our contributors are American.Barbara Shack 20:34, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

My boredom has just benefited you!
I was bored, so I created this wiki. Not sure if you will ever need it, but then again, you might! --Liberal-Liberapediapedia 17:24, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Thanks. You have benefited us a great deal. You gave me the chance to flame the enemies of LIberapedia. Now those regular attacks from enemies of Liberapedia have virtually stopped. If they restart I'll take out my flame gun again. By thanks for making me a sysop there. It's cool.Liberal-Barbara Shack 13:59, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

Is it just me
Is it just me or has the creation of new articles stalled a bit, I expected a speed up when we got close to 1k. Liberal-AJUK talk 06:11, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Question
I notice this Wiki is a bit light and jokey, but to what extent is this? Liberal-DillyDally 06:35, 22 May 2008 (EDT)
 * It's mostly parody with a bit of seriousness. --Liberal-Ryan 07:52, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

thanks Liberal-DillyDally 03:04, 23 May 2008 (EDT)

WIKIA request
Heads up people, a request has been made to Wikia, if anybody thinks that they can improve on it please do so. Liberal-AJUK talk 19:43, 26 May 2008 (EDT)
 * It has been accepted, do you know its is possible to stick with the more wikipedia style look on Wikia like Uncyclopedia does? Liberal-AJUK talk 06:36, 27 May 2008 (EDT)

We've got the new Wiki! CONGRATULATIONS. Liberapedia.Liberal-Barbara Shack 07:18, 27 May 2008 (EDT)

I've deleted references to Nazism over Matt Morris. With the move we may not have time to research his politics and if he isn't a Nazi the article was possibly libellous.Liberal-Barbara Shack 08:11, 27 May 2008 (EDT)

Date for move
Should we talk about setting a date for when we officially move to this new space. I think we do we should put notices on all regular users talk pages telling them to come over here. Ajuk 12:42, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I think over the weekend looks like a good idea. Then people have more time for things like looking at what is happening to Liberapedia. I suggest starting the move, Friday evening, 6th June or Friday evening, 13th June. If that's inconvenient Saturday or Sunday will do.Barbara Shack 20:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

After the move we can reset the Main Page of Old Liberapedia and tell users to come here. That will bring us plenty of users and vandals. Alternatively we can put notices onto the talk pages of good users. That way we get most of the good users. We may overlook some. You're a sysop on Old Liberapedia. Can you protect everything there at one go. Protecting each page singly will be hard work. In the long run we should aim to have only one Wiki to protect. It's difficult to know what to do with Old Liberapedia as it belongs to WillH. I'm not sure what's possible or what's legal. Angela can advise. Remember Liberals believe in a mixed economy and respect private property. Barbara Shack 05:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC) After the move perhaps you and Elassint can sit down and protect 100 pages a day. That way after 10 days everything is protected.Barbara Shack 06:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * How would I protect everying in one go? Ajuk 12:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't know. If you don't know a way it probably has to be done page by page. Angela knows a great deal and can ask experts. Perhaps she can suggest something. Eventually we need to have one Wiki. You and Elassint shouldn't be protecting Old Liberapedia indefinitely. I think it's better if Old Liberapedia is locked at one go or page by page. I'd rather vandals don't mess Old Liberapedia and turn it into a bad advertisement for Liberalism. I'll contact Angela now.Barbara Shack 15:48, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The old site isn't my site, so I can't shut it down, I may leave some notes of encouragement for people their to come here, but basically the site will be left running, I will probably go back their occasionally just to block vandals.Ajuk 21:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

After you've moved you can protect all the Old Liberapedia articles against editing as well as against moving. There will be a notice on the Main Page telling users about the move so users who want to edit will know where to come. I protected all the articles in Elassint's Wiki after Kurgan messed it up. That worked. Unfortunately that will be a much longer job in the big Wiki.Barbara Shack 13:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

'''Transferring material from Old Liberapedia to New Liberapedia will become steadily more difficult as the two become different. For that reason if nothing else I feel we should move within a month.'''Barbara Shack 06:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The Favicon
Thoughts/opinions? Ajuk 22:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Its ok, but why is it not a star? --<font color="#461B7E"> Elassint <font color="#DD00DD">Hi! :) 16:43, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the star feeds the stereo type that all liberals are communists, and its too small.

The picture of Karl Marx may feel bad stereotypes too. We've had it for several months. Let's change it.Barbara Shack 06:25, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not American. I don't know how Americans react to Liberapedia. Left Space and Campaigns Wikia may be able to advise us. I haven’t had time to check them out. I hope those two understand Europe and the rest of the world as well as the United States.Barbara Shack 16:47, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Cite book template
I think we should create wikipedia-style cite book template and cite website templates. This will make referencing easier. Ostepolemus 13:57, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Lets get somthing else on here
Communism and that pic of Karl Marx has been their too long, its starting to look like this wiki is deserted. Ajuk 12:56, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Guys it's OK to do something with the main page, you don't need permission. Ajuk 13:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we should consider a different favicon that does not give the wrong impression about our Wiki. Proxima Centauri 06:54, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * What is wrong with the current favicon? Ryan 07:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

FOR FRICK'S SAKE
I'm sick of this! I tried to create a new article with external links, but when I type in the word that pops up after clicking the "Save Page" button & trying to save the page, it won't let me! It keeps looping to the same "Editing (insert article name here)" page, but with a different word! Stop this nonsense!!! --Baltimore007 23:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Ajuk and Elassint understand computers better than I do. They may help. Alternatively contacting Wikia Community Chat and Support may be helpful. Proxima Centauri 06:46, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Direction
Where is this site going, there seems to be very little activity on this site and I think its stagnating, I think we should be concentrating on improvements to articles which are;

1. Likely to increase traffic and interest in the site.

2. Are currently important.

3. Articles that are particularly important to this sites cause. And

4. Articles that are partially easy to write when it comes to the be funny but true rule (e.g Flat earth society). Ajuk 22:46, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Traffic
I created this, thought it might bring people here. Ajuk 22:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It's great, but I've got some new ideas:


 * 1) Not everyone likes Nirvana.
 * 2) I think you're missing out on some grammar there.
 * 3) Maybe more content/tags, as in people have to find the video, but it's great as is! '<font face="papyrus" color="B22222">ﾁﾞﾘﾀﾞﾘ  talk 06:01, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
