Talk:History:Sandbox

Added for kicks to see what edits people do and/or what edit wars result. Formatting leaves something to be desired, but is enough for a starter. The initial posting is the original (except for a bit of formatting and adding "Historian's" in front of Introduction) without any content edits by me. I figure that History:Originalwritername could be a good way to make obvious the original source. Feel free to move or remove it or discuss such things. --Guppymomma 01:55, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)


 * First, as I said before, I'm fine with having this article in the Wiki. That being said, I'm not comfortable with the naming scheme.


 * It's not clear that "Historian" is a character name.
 * Eventually, this will be edited substantially, and it seems odd for one author to be given credit.
 * Finally, the entry may eventually say things that "Historian" fundamentally disagrees with. Having his/her name on it could be misleading.
 * So, we need to find a new namespace for this article. For now, this is fine.  In fact, the right solution may be to carve off and relocate chunks until nothing of the original remains on this page.  --Barrister 02:00, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Good points, I pondered those bits too, but I couldn't think of a better naming scheme and figured someone with a more functional brain could move it for me :) --Guppymomma 02:06, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually I thought of something since editing of the thing will be so "experimental" how about History:Sandbox? :) --Guppymomma 02:14, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Excellent choice. Definitely conveys the experimental nature of the project.  And, really, nothing should remain in the History:Sandbox permanently.  --Barrister 02:17, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I'm going to slowly go through and add links as if each day's section will be split off from the rest. Or something like that. Anyone feeling linky can join in the fun. --Guppymomma 03:32, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, have done the linking thing. I didn't link Ruby Alliance though as I thought a link should go to RAWR instead of somesuch.  I'm sure I probably missed some links etc, so clean up as you notice 'em. --Guppymomma 17:08, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

If anyone thinks there would be interest in editing/adding to the RR vs. CT conflict history that Penn did, just pipe up and I'm happy to wiki formatize it and pop it into this pile as well. --Guppymomma 12:50, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think Penn's story is worth adding. Make it History:Sandbox2? --Barrister 20:48, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)
