[08:12:05] <takyon> PSA for eds
[08:12:35] <takyon> "Merge 4" was there to indicate 4 Uber-related stories that needed to be merged. So putting "Merge 5" on an unrelated story is not helpful
[11:30:08] <Bytram> Also, is a good time to note that whenever adding [to] a note... PLEASE include your nick so we now here it came from. Mot of the current subs' comments already do that (yay!) but atm there are 3-4 that just say 'merge' or similar... who ARE you, and... what do I merge it with? --Bytram
[11:30:45] <fyngyrz> twas not I
[11:32:04] <Bytram> not really interested in who it was... reaslly! Just makes things easier a day or three down the line when the current story list is different and trying to understand what is in flux at that current moment. What might have been obvious, then, may not be so obvious, later.
[11:32:21] <fyngyrz> duly noted
[11:34:00] <Bytram> and, for the record, thanks again for joining up and helping out! I see the measured approach to diving in (did the mostly the same myself) and I appreciate the 'understand before I try and change things' approach. =)
[11:36:27] <fyngyrz> I'm trying hard not to do any damage
[11:37:02] <fyngyrz> Also, I've found some other areas where I can help out
[11:37:25] * Bytram noticed
[11:38:03] <Bytram> btw, not causing damage, over a sufficiently long period of time, is not realistically possible... as my posting history can attest =)
[11:38:30] <Bytram> I only brought down prod once, iirc.
[11:38:42] <Bytram> otoh
[11:38:42] <fyngyrz> As it stands, I feel that my original goal - that of catching at least some of the small grammar / punctuation errors - is accessible to me, and I like doing that.

[21:30:30] <chromas> I'm looking at the Isreal to Launch Big Data and it could use more in the summary than what the AC provided. Is adding a blockquote kosher?
[21:30:40] <chromas> and/or halal
[21:30:53] <cmn32480> hell yes you can add a block quote
[21:31:03] <cmn32480> what ding dong didn't tell you you coudl do that?
