Editor Log: February 2003 (thing)

Being a newbie editor is like being a newbie noder. There are lots of FAQs to read, and features to learn. I may do some lurking, before I sally forth and slay without mercy.

I'm also open to suggestions. When that starts getting old I'll let you know here.

Every noder, at least every experienced noder, has the ability and the duty to talk with other noders, praise and/or constructively critique writing, and convey technical information to new users. You don't need a "$" for that: everyone can use /msg.

Editors do get the ability to post a homenode pic without attaining Level 6, and some sekrit powers. It's like getting a nice big ring of keys so you can go anywhere in the facility. Too bad the reason I get the keys is to clean the toilets and take out the trash.

Editor Cooled:

• Barbed Wire

Marked for Death:

• diffutils by SCSIbug: Cut-and-paste of copyrighted, but obsolete software documentation by a fled noder. Suggested by waterhouse.
• others by SCSIbug for same reasons: cp, df, chown, chgrp ... but I tire of the slaughter
• Age of Consent by General_Wesc: the chart of "age of consent" (a dubious concept, anyway) was incorrect for at least one state I bothered to check, probably more. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.
• Scranton, Pennsylvania by azilum: because somebody else did a *much* better job.
• miscellaneous crap as it came in...

Other:

• created Messerschmitt Bf 109 and firmlinked it to Messerschmitt Me 109 (since both are correct and hardlinks to both have been attempted)
• firmlinked Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and softlocked the former, incorrect spelling, 'cause I can.
