...idiot who hasn't been updating the wiki. Tongue

These are outdated.

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Main_Page

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Senate_History

There is no page for the 67th Senate and so on.

These were usually the ones kept most accurate.

I have a rudimentary knowledge of wiki updating, which doesn't extend to updating history pages unfortunately. I also don't know how to create new pages, only update existing ones and I preferred not to "learn on the job" on the statute pages. I am presently working on five different bills, I maintain a polling firm, I run a political party, and for a long time I ran the Senate on top of that. I have a very physically demanding job in real life and therefore I don't consider it to unreasonable to decline to add this courtesy to my present load.

For a while people where "doing it themselves" I would reckon, but when that person burns out you cannot exactly bitch about them no longer doing since it wasn't their responsibility, but merely a courtesy. Nix should definately be commended in this regard and bgwah for many years as well did much to keep it updated even when they weren't AG or whatnot.

When it can do is focus attention on who is officially tasked with such and find out why it isn't being done. The statute pages are the responsibility of the Department of Justice, SEnate rules were handled by VP though it almost always ended up being myself, throughout my time as PPT, that actually did the updating. Regions handle their pages, not sure who was tasked with the main page.

Al, if there was a lapse in communicate between the Senate leadership and your department, why hasn't this been brought to the attention of the full Senate?

Senate PPT should have responsibility to do it after each bill gets passed IMO.

There is no Senate PPT anymore. Tongue

Just updated the statute page and stopped as soon as I lost the will to live. More of it later, presumably.

Basically that's the issue: it's tedious work in the extreme and not really appreciated. We should train monkeys to do it.

In spite of our vast personal differences and history, I do appreciate it.

Who the hell would want the job of "Wiki Secretary"?

Presumably one of the morons who thinks that everything is a-okay in Atlasia right now and that, if we just tried harder (Smiley) things would get active and hunky-dory again!

Nothing is fine in Atlasia. But if you insist on shrinking the game to match the ever shrinking number of people willing to put up with all this nastiness, you will find you have sent it on a one way ticket to hell. I refuse to let you flush this game down the drain.

They retired the position because no one could match your brilliance?  What do they have instead?  

"Senate Speaker"

Presently vacant and likely will remain so for a few days since Polnut is on leave.
