Therobotdude

Vote here (4/0/0) ending 03:55 20/7/2014 (UTC)

Therobotdude (talk • contribs) – Therobotdude has over 2000 edits and has shown dedication to the wiki. He has done a great job in cleaning the gunk of the wiki, but I believe he could do even more if he had administrative powers. Guipsp 16:11, 12 July 2014 (PDT)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept.

Support

  1. I wholeheartedly support this nomination. Therobotdude has been tireless, friendly, and efficient since he began editing here. He has a good temperament with the ability to maintain a cool head in disputes. He has extensive knowledge about what this wiki needs and how to provide it. And he is a very active user. He is the ideal choice for the job, so there is no question he should get it. Chupchup 16:27, 13 July 2014 (PDT)
  2. Of course, as the nominator, I support. Guipsp 03:19, 14 July 2014 (PDT)
  3. I support this nomination as well. Therobotdude has put a lot of effort into the wiki, and has exemplified the ideal of 'See a problem? Fix it!'. He is also very willing to discuss matters when an edit is called into question, and I agree with Chupchup that he keeps a cool head, even when it's his edits called into question. Additionally, I think he's far and away the best active editor of YPPedia that isn't already an admin. I see no reason why he shouldn't be made one. Jlh0605 10:45, 15 July 2014 (PDT)
  4. Support. I agree with the reasons enumerated above. (And I'll find it amusing for him to become an Admin in time for his one-year anniversary of his YPPedia activity.) -- Franklincain (t/c) 14:09, 15 July 2014 (PDT)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. I would make minor fixes to protected pages (typos, grammar, links, etc) as I've already done across numerous Gameplay/Terminology articles. Additionally, I am interested in organising a new series of featured articles to feed the main page, and admin rights would speed up the process of getting an article up there once the article's been peer-reviewed. As an active user, it'd also be useful to have me around in admin form to address cases of severe disruption/vandalism, weird deletion/undeletion requests and so forth (and I'd finally be able to clean up the small mountain of speedily-delete tagged pages I've left behind!).
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. The swordfighting drop pattern article was one of the first I worked on, in response to players who just wanted to know how a drop pattern worked. I also enjoyed working on spades and hearts, making their layouts consistent with that of the poker article; again, I have known people who would not play the puzzles (particularly spades) because no clear breakdown of scoring was available. Finally, I make edits all over the place in response to ongoing greeter chat questions, since it's important that the wiki continues to provide useful information that players want to know.

Addyrielle (talk • contribs) – Addyrielle is a user with a great passion for YPPedia. Her first edits were good faith, and ever since she has always improved as an editor. Since her self-nomination, Addyrielle has done over 5,000 edits over a period of three months.

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. I would like to help out with anything and everything! In addition to continuing the tasks I do already, I would love to be able to update the current events page, and pages like the refer a friend article. I would also like to be able to delete old revisions of images, because this would make it easier for me to clean up after myself when I am uploading updated versions of images. I would like to continue learning as much as I can about all aspects of wiki editing, and would also like to continue to share my knowledge and experience, and use these things to help out other users - especially those who are new. Adrielle ♥ =) 00:21, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I am pleased with my work updating and creating wanted crew, artistic forum event (eg. Art:Gitmo needs an avatar! 500+ doubs), flag, island, building and pirate pages. I am pleased with these because they help to fill in bits of the YPP information net that would have otherwise been absent or outdated. For similar reasons, I am pleased with my work cleaning up articles in the clean up category, updating the avatar artist directory, and improving the quality of various articles by adjusting grammar, spelling and wording. I am also proud of my pirate's page because it was the first page I ever edited (on my old account of Ezmerelda_M). It is still a work in progress! Lastly, I am pleased with this little page, and that I learned how to make trinket colour charts yesterday. Adrielle ♥ =) 00:21, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

  1. Barrister 05:13, 20 January 2009 (UTC) -- I enthusiastically support this nomination. Alfwyn is well-suited for adminship with quality edits and good temperament.
  2. I agree with Barrister's sentiment. His wikimarkup skills and his ability to remain calm during discussions will be an asset to YPPedia. His willingness to listen to new information and use it to correct mistakes, such as in the issues that cropped up with the Hen.jpg issue, also show the attitude of a good administrator. --Guppymomma 14:56, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. The sysop chore I most see myself helping with is image management, such as deleting outdated versions, especially since I do a lot of image uploading myself. It'll also be handy to be able to modify out-dated but protected articles and images.
Commenting on this: Be aware that we are not permitted to modify Official namespace pages without permission, except to correct spelling errors. I'm pointing this out since Official pages comprise probably 99% of the protected pages. --Thunderbird 03:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. 2008 Halloween events, Cursed Isles and Template:BlockadeTOC are, I think, some of my best contributions, and, to a slightly lesser extent (in the sense that all I had to do was wiki formatting) Template:Map:Malachite Ocean and assorted other maps. I couldn't honestly say why I'm particularly pleased about them, save that they give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. =)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. Well, right now I am working steadily through uploading a bunch of images to the YPPedia to fill out our {{My trinkets}} (Usage) template. My goal is to keep collecting those until all of them are done. In addition, I usually have a knack for spotting template mistakes, spelling and grammar mistakes, or incorrect information fairly well in a large article and would work to make sure those are fixed as fast as possible. And the ability to have an easy rollback, especially when I am experimenting with some of the more complex templates, will certainly come in handy.
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Now this is a tough one. Probably the article that I put the most work into researching and writing was the one on Notorious Fandango shortly after they disbanded. I spent about a month to a month and a half interviewing the members of it to make sure that the article was as complete as possible. Also, I'm pretty proud on the three tutorials I have written for the YPPedia; Gem running, merchanting, and duty navigation tutorial; for their completeness and example that I can insert images into articles without breaking things.

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. I would likely be helping with page deletion, in particular the unnecessary redirection pages created when I move articles to match in-game capitalization. It seems like I do a lot of that type of renaming. I think though that I will have to learn a lot from the administration rulings to be of any help in that area. For the near future I am likely to maintain templates, handle recentchanges rollbacks, fix category sorting and attempt to reduce the number of articles marked for cleanup. Aside from accessing locked templates to debug odd errors (some of which have occurred in the crew infobox recently), it wouldn't be a large extension to what I'm currently doing.
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. The Economy diagram, commonly discussed ideas pages, time chart entry templates are my contributions which I particularly like. The economy diagram started out as an exercise to see if it were even possible to produce a graphical index for the economy, since a number of players had expressed the difficulty they had in navigating the YPPedia through existing text indices. It worked a lot better than I had anticipated. The commonly discussed ideas pages are, I hope, just as useful to others as they are to me in organizing the huge amount of material in the Game Design forum. I know they have saved me from having to constantly rescan forum search results. The time chart entry templates took a while to get right but were a great learning experience in working with nested templates and possibly more importantly, creating clear instructions for using a template.

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
I'm quite happy to do whatever is needed. Now that the initial rush of my new job is over, I'm quite keen to go back to doing a lot of active editing, specifically clean-up, wanted pages, that kind of thing, to keep the Wiki a truly useful resource. I think the fact I live in the UK - and can work on the wiki during the day - means I'm potentially covering a empty time slot to remedy vandalism, etc.
2.Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
I'm quite pleased with my efforts to create historically important pages such as Thanos, Pennsuedo, Fronsac, Dittemuzz, the Four Hour War, and of course my own pirate page ;). I think history is such a huge part of this game and I intend to continue adding to these historical pages - and others - so all the cool stuff from the past isn't forgotten!.

Piplicus (talk • contribs) – I've been using the YPPedia for a few months and think that it is the best resource to ever hit the game, and I always like contributing back as much as possible to resources I borrow from. I do tend to make a lot of ad-hoc edits (random page surfing and correcting any erros I notice). I like using the wiki markup, and am now confident with quite a lot of the syntax, although I do make quite a few harmless blunders from time to time. Piplicus 15:08, 25 October 2006 (PDT)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept, by definition.

Support

  1. I have nothing but praise for Piplicus, whose understanding of wiki markup and complex wiki matters is top-notch. His forum and in-game actions show his excellence at dispute resolution, something important in an administrator. Yaten talk 20:17, 25 October 2006 (PDT)
  2. I echo all of Yaten's sentiments about Pip's superb wiki markup & organization knowledge and his demeanor in disputes. His record in running the long term set of Booty or No Booty also speaks toward his level of responsibility & reliability. --Guppymomma 07:51, 26 October 2006 (PDT)
  3. Echoing the above comments I support wholeheartedly. --Angelbeaver (talk) 07:59, 26 October 2006 (PDT)
  4. I have full confidence in Pip's technical knowledge and his level-headed demeanor. --Zava 04:24, 31 October 2006 (PST)
  5. I've been impressed both Pip's initiative, his ability to step back and ask for help and guidance when needed, and his ability to give guidance when asked.--Fiddler 07:39, 31 October 2006 (PST)
  6. Piplicus is a technically-adept editor with a long history of commitment and good sense, both in and out of game. --AtteSmythe 09:26, 31 October 2006 (PST)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. I'm not quite sure. Whatever I feel like helping with, or if I'm asked to do something. I'll police myself with adding categories more, for sure.
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Definitely the Booty or No Booty domain. I've put a huge amount of hours into writing it; even though it's not kept perfectly to date.

  1. Support. AtteSmythe's work on all manner of things has been helpful. He voices his opinion in a level-headed logical manner while still keeping an open ear to listening to other sides; and he goes along with the decisions made by community consensus even if his opinion differed. His method of helping folks to figure out what to add to pirate articles by asking questions has been nicely encouraging and the cleanup project has been a wonderful rallying of the community. --Guppymomma 19:04, 9 July 2006 (PDT)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. This is a difficult one, because 99% of what needs to be done to keep a wiki running can be done by anyone, and the other 1% aren't really enviable duties. Still, administratorship would allow me to help share the load of deletion requests and recentchanges rollback, as well as by letting me take care of trivial maintenance (especially to my User: subpages) without adding to the admin load. To answer the question directly, there's no task on the list which I'm unwilling to tackle, though I'd have to start following the arbitration/administration rulings for a while before I felt comfortable with that side of the affair.
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Most recently, the push for pirate page editing and completion. In the near future, the Cleanup Crew is my baby, and I'd still like to make it something that enacts real changes on at least a weekly rotation. In the distant past, I'm probably most proud of my work in extracting and archiving images for the island pages. I most enjoy the template work I've done, perhaps because it's most like coding, and the changes are both immediate and potentially widespread.

  • Guys, I know you're all eager to vote on this, but I poked around Wikipedia for info on this process; I found this. Turns out you're supposed to wait until the person accepts the nomination before adding it to the RfA section and/or voting on it (to keep people from feeling pressured and such). Just something we should probably consider next time. :) --Emufarmers 15:33, 12 June 2006 (PDT)
    • Although our policies are modeled after Wikipedia, they are not all specifically adhering to everything on Wikipedia. While it wasn't noted in the text, I believe since Zava has previously declined nomination, that Fannon spoke with Zava beforehand to see if she would accept it this time. Our YPPedia community is small enough that there's no need to stand on ceremony and I don't think that anyone would actually accept adminhood out of peer pressure of a few support votes. --Guppymomma 16:06, 12 June 2006 (PDT)
      • Fair enough: I saw that Zava had declined previously, and I didn't know if Fannon had spoken to her beforehand; I don't know if any of us are particularly susceptible to peer pressure, but it's always hard to have two people vote yes for you, and then to say you're not interested. We're only human, after all. :P --Emufarmers 16:11, 12 June 2006 (PDT)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. I do feel it's my duty to step in and explain (or give people a hand) if they seem to need it, but in the past I've been careful to let people make the changes themself so they can learn how the wiki works. I also expect I'll continue to patrol Recent Changes as usual, just with a revert button in hand rather then doing things manually.
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I am pleased with the periodic updates of the Sage pages, coupled with in-game nudging of prominent Sage players. This includes the familiar listings, crew and flag pages, and island pages. I've also (slowly) been working on adding images and information to pages that are lacking - Examples are all the exterior images of housing, the governor page, and the image showing how to create a flag. It's an ongoing project to document and fact-check the parts of the game few people see as well as quirky UI things like the create-a-flag location.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept. In a recent discussion regarding administrators, I commented on how I felt there wasn't really a need for any new administrators. However, I'd like to accept this nomination, as I'm grateful to Orsino (Fiddler) for acknowledging my long-standing commitment to the YPPedia - please read my comments below. --Featherfin 07:03, 4 June 2006 (PDT)

Support

  1. Support. Featherfin's contributions to the wiki have been many and valuable. He has an excellent ability to speak clearly during heated debate without letting his passions overrun his judgement.--Fiddler 06:15, 4 June 2006 (PDT)
  2. Support. FF has worked hard to write fact based articles on difficult subjects, collaborating even with former opponents in order to get multiple viewpoints. His willingness to do everything from minor edits to updating infoboxes to writing full historical accounts of people & events is an asset to the wiki. --Guppymomma 17:11, 7 June 2006 (PDT)
  3. Support. Featherfin has a history of solid contributions, most notably his content creation where historic articles were lacking. He has always remained calm during heated debates, and will do well as a moderator when it is needed. He easily meets my standards for adminship. --Fannon 17:13, 7 June 2006 (PDT)
  4. Support. Maybe I’m just a sucker for his grammar (certainly some of the best on the wiki), or maybe it’s that I get his contributions confused with those of Fannon and Fiddler (we’ll have three admins with an “F” name? I’ll never keep it straight!), but looking at him now, the thing which impresses me most is his willingness to move past whatever grudges he might have held, and quickly. (He mentioned both me and Sagacious by name below, and while I haven’t had that much direct interaction with him either way, I know he’s had some less-than-positive encounters with Sagacious in the past, so his mentioning us by name shows a good deal of tact and sense. Plus, I like seeing my name.) Beyond that, he’s got plenty of wiki work, particularly in the aforementioned history department. He’s a shoo-in, as I see it. --Emufarmers 20:48, 7 June 2006 (PDT)
  5. Support. I have seen Featherfin around the wiki alot making lots of good contributions and general page cleaning. Yohohobob

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. In light of the recent debates over the nature of pirate articles, I have become inspired to begin an ongoing project designed to actively attempt to record the history of the game in a social/political context, whilst players from the earlier days are still around. I would use my role as an ambassador of the YPPedia to keep the wiki in contact with the rest of the Y!PP community, pushing for a wider base of contributors and actively targeting and seeking people who could possibly help develop pages on specific historical events or characters. This project will go ahead irrespective of the outcome of my adminship nomination. :) I envision a role for myself based on maintaining the quality of new content produced in light of the prospective policy changes - users such as Sagacious and Emufarmers have already proven time and time again that you don't need to have admin powers to be able to do a good job cleaning up a page or highlighting its faults. The ability to temporarily protect pages would be useful in the more delicate situations, for example the History of Imperio debate.
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I'm pleased with my ongoing work with Jacktheblack on the Scallywag War as an example of how two people on opposing sides of a very bitter conflict can work together to produce an accurate and unbiased historical article. Related to that project are my work on The By-laws of The Ruby Ring and the Scallywag War Timeline. I also enjoyed writing Chihiro, Ironfisted, Pjotr and Shark's biographies, and Fannon's biography which Zava then refined. My historical contributions to Avalon, Imperio and the Crimperio Alliance page is an example of the sort of content my project will aim to develop. I created the Island Designer box for personal pirate pages [1] and will be making art pages for each specific island design contest after my final exam this Wednesday. I've also continually contributed to Ransack Marauders and Silver Dawn but those are very much group projects.

Vote here (4/0/2) ending 03:55 May 20th (UTC)

Ponytailguy (talk • contribs) – Frankly, I just want the revert button. I'll admit that my wiki markup is shaky at best, but I don't think I've ever broken a page, I've made signifigant contributions to a fair number of pages, and while I don't have much in the way of adminship aspirations, that revert button is mighty tempting. I've also helped a few people set up events or use the wiki for the first time, but that's something I do anyway. I never know what to put in these things, and I feel bad enough having self-nominated, so I'll quit while I'm ahead. Ponytailguy 16:57, 13 May 2006 (PDT)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Self-nomination, so naturally, darling. --Ponytailguy 17:02, 13 May 2006 (PDT)

Support

  1. Ponytailguy's contributions to the wiki have been solid and diverse. His game experience is certainly broad, if not as long as many of the other administrators. While we have clashed in the past on ocassion regarding some issues, his commitment to improving the wiki, his demonstrable ability to work with groups, and his increasing maturity and skill at avoiding and smoothing over confrontation have garnered him my vote.--Fiddler 20:30, 13 May 2006 (PDT)
  2. I echo Fiddler's sentiments. Ponytailguy has definitely improved his previously more abrasive demeanor and honed his wiki skills in a very community consensus kind of way. There's always room for improvement and I believe that he will continue to mature even more. He's also attempted to add small touches to various templates & things that help make the wiki a friendlier spot that gently encourages newcomers to learn more & get involved in the correct way (even if they started in the wrong way). --Guppymomma 21:03, 13 May 2006 (PDT)
  3. Ponytailguy has a strong, substantial list of contributions throughout all namespaces and has shown a helpful attitude for several months. My experiences in the game, on the forums, and on the wiki with him have been positive, and I can't see any reason to oppose his adminship request. --Yaten talk 19:17, 14 May 2006 (PDT)

  1. While Teeg certainly exhibits plenty of Admin qualities, and has a level of grammar which impresses me, the tentativeness of his request means that I can't really support it; the revert button is nice, but it's just a minor implement of convenience: It's not a big enough thing to seek adminship over. Still, because I think Teeg would do just fine as an Admin anyway, I won't oppose it. I guess it comes down to whether Adminship is something is something which should be limited to those who would use its privilages liberally and effectively, or should be extended to those who wouldn't use it much, but would never abuse it (I'm not sure how I fall on that). --Emufarmers 17:13, 13 May 2006 (PDT)
    If anything, though, I would suggest that the fact that the adminship wouldn't change a whole lot about how I use the wiki is somewhat of a good thing... I already do a lot of productive stuff that I've been recognized for, and I'm willing to shoulder some admin duties, but my heart lies with content creation as opposed to shifting maps or doing massive rename projects. Feel free to change your vote to "Oppose because he doesn't like the boring administrative stuff", but that's where I stand. :) --Ponytailguy 17:19, 13 May 2006 (PDT)
  2. Good quality edits, but nothing to make Teeg stand out from the crowd, in my books. --Featherfin 06:51, 14 May 2006 (PDT)

A. The usual stuff. Tracking recent changes, fixing templates, helping with visual appearance and aesthetics, and catching and correcting ambiguous phrasing. (Which is actually probably where the bulk of my real wiki experience is)
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Well, in terms of pure writing and content generation, I like what I've done with event and bakeoff. I'm also responsible for the duty/carousing/labour puzzle templates (which, if nothing else, illustrates that I can create and use templates and wiki markup attractively and efficiently.) and I've added signifigant portions to the puzzle standing page. My current (but slow) project is captaincy, which I'm working on as things come to me, but I'm proud of so far. I've also assembled a bunch of tutorials like the one for 3DS-Max that Guppy used to assemble the rendered eggs for Prometheus' egg design event, as well as the wiki tips for event planners, which is more general but still quite thorough, and sounds like it might be going into the official event toolkit in one form or another.

  1. Guppymomma 20:45, 6 March 2006 (PST) - Fannon's work on infoboxes has been especially helpful and her obsessive cleaning up of articles is excellent as well. She also sets a great example in not being shy about asking if she's not sure about something or wants to learn more about something.
  2. Zava 21:07, 6 March 2006 (PST) - Fannon's generally the one I pester in game about wiki questions when I'm unsure about things. She's done a great job fixing up the pages nobody else wanted to touch.
  3. Emufarmers 21:15, 6 March 2006 (PST) - What I have seen of Fannon's work so far has been overwhelmingly positive, and she has an extensive history of useful edits, both major and minior; since has been with YPPedia for at least six weeks, she appears to have the experience and dedication necessary for an administrative post. Although I intend on reviewing her record further, I have seen nothing but good work from her, and as such, support her nomination.
  4. Featherfin 23:33, 6 March 2006 (PST) - Fannon actually follows people around the wiki improving upon their contributions. She watches the various flag and crew catagories like a hawk. Giving her admin powers would only improve the general maintenance of the YPPedia.

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)

2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I'm quite pleased with how Starting out has developed into an excellent guide for beginning players. Also, I'm rather proud of my work at categorizing the uncategorized pages, and at my attempts to create a set of categories for the beginning player.

Guppymomma (talk • contribs) – Guppymomma has been an excellent editor from the start of the unofficial wiki.

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. As mentioned above, I'm all for obsessively hitting reload on Recent changes to help patrol edits for necessary rollbacks. I'm also big on customizing the Mediawiki pages which create things like the left side nav bar.
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. The unificiation of various templates so that they work for all oceans with referencing to a single set of ocean templates for header & link styles. I'm also partial to the blockade coordination tutorial contentwise because I think it's a useful resource for flags that are looking to get into blockading.

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. Most of my sysop work has been with watching the CSD category and reverting inappropriate edits. I often do some cleanup with the image list.
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Being a fairly visual learner, I think I'm most proud of my image and template work. I think my template designs have helped create a better flow for the furniture and clothing pages, and I took great joy in seeing similar templates adapted by others for the housing pages. I'm also particularly proud of the joint effort mostly involving myself, Guppymomma, Tawnee, and Rappak starting and improving the Sage Ocean pages.
