Have fun on Gourdcore, and don't give up. Seeing that trophy in your case is worth it! --Barnaby36 18:03, 18 Oct 2005 (MDT)

What's next, Alpaca? Booze and "When Drunk"?--Barnaby36 09:54, 16 Oct 2005 (MDT)

Check out this thread on the forums. I'm just going by the current poll results and comments. --Alpaca 10:02, 16 Oct 2005 (MDT)

I'm moving Alpaca/Help because it shows up in uncategorized pages. It's best to put temp stuff in subpages of your WikiUserName. Have fun playing in your own personal sandbox. --JRSiebz (☎|§|‡) 01:35, 6 December 2005 (Central Standard Time)

Hey, there. I only just now noticed your note to me on Nov 24 regarding coordinating our efforts on the {{itemheader}} templates -- you put it on Talk:Old Ned rather than User Talk:Old Ned, so I didn't get notified. (I've redirected the Talk page to the User Talk page and moved your comment.)

I'm not really doing all the items; I've been specifically doing all Food items, going down the alpha list in the Food category. How do you get a list of item numbers? I don't have any objection to coordinating our efforts, but I'm not sure how to go about it... -- Old Ned 01:25, 10 December 2005 (Central Standard Time)

• You can see a list of what I've done so far on my main page. I'm using Items by number as a guide. So, y'know, if'n we could somehow keep track of what we've done, to avoid redundancy. --Alpaca 08:39, 11 December 2005 (Central Standard Time)

Okay... what I've been doing so far is that if a page turns out not to need any more standardizing, I simply move on to the next item on my list. It seems to me that getting the name of my next food item, looking up its number, then looking at your page to see if you've gotten that far would take longer than just editing the page to see if it needs work. Not to mention that your page only lists what you've done up to the nearest 100, so it won't tell me whether an item in the range you're currently working on has been done yet... So I'm not clear how that will save us time.

If you're wondering how far I've gotten, I've currently done all the foods up to "pointy mushroom" on the Category:Food page. So about 2/3 down, 1/3 to go. I guess for you, if you see that the next item on your list is a food, you can tell where it is alphabetically without having to look anything up, so this might work a little better for you than for me...

• Sounds good! Thanks. --Alpaca 13:25, 14 December 2005 (Central Standard Time)

By the way, does anybody check the forum anymore? In theory we're supposed to carry on major discussions there, but I posted a new thread in there several days ago with no response so far. -- Old Ned 19:58, 12 December 2005 (Central Standard Time)

• In theory, yes. I check it every day. Still, though, something's wrong with it (see Discussion#Forums), so it's rather impractically slow. --Alpaca 13:25, 14 December 2005 (Central Standard Time)
