Editor Log: August 2002 (log)

On August 11, 2002 I opened my Message Inbox to read from Klaproth that my writeup in code-switching had been moved to code switching. Right after that was a message from Cool Man Eddie that code switching had gotten the nod from one of my esteemed colleagues. To express my gratitude, I did my best to clean up the nodegel by applying firm links and softlocks where appropriate, and fixing the hardlinks in a few writeups of mine that referred to code-switching. In other news, I'm coming to the end of my big Summer 2002 European Odyssey, which means my e2 participation should be more regular (and just plain more) in this and the following months. I've missed y'all.

Firmlinked

• code-switching to code switching
• diesel to diesel engine, but diesel still needs some cleaning up. Maybe some time when my attention span's up to it....

Softlocked

• code-switching since code switching is now the definitive node title
• butt plug because the former is a nodeshell firmlinked to to butt-plug, which has some pretty decent content (I cooled it), so why clutter things up?

Deleted

• My answers to factgirl's Christianity test (idea) by raybass because writeup does not mean reply, especially when the thing it's replying to doesn't exist anymore. Added node title to Nodeshells Marked for Destruction.
• My Mach 3 makes life worth living (idea) by chuck (mercifully) because it sucked, and lots of downvoters agreed with me on that. Added node title to Nodeshells Marked for Destruction.
• What do you believe? (idea) by SkiBum5 (mercifully) because it's a misspelled quote just begging for a lot more GTKY crap to follow it. Added node title to Nodeshells Marked for Destruction.
• tuna (thing) by Xamot (mercifully) because it was essentially a one-liner and superceded by pimephalis's writeup. Now all this node needs is more info about tuna as food...
• True Love Waits (idea) by JeffMagnus (mercifully) because it boiled down to a relatively useless GTKY/one-liner.
• Commando (idea) by Dr. Plaid (mercifully) because it was a pretty useless one-liner
• Commando (thing) by RandomIdiot (mercifully) because it boiled down to a cut-and-paste and was getting downvoted to hell to boot.

Miscellany

• Added if you knew you were gonna die soon, would you just go ahead and get married? to Nodeshells Marked for Destruction because it's important to choose titles carefully and nodes with questions for titles make me twitchy.
• I love Editor Endorsements so much that I added things you can make a wish on to the Page of Cool and hence my list of endorsed nodes. Yay for finding magic everywhere!
