User talk:Gregory
Hey Greg, good to see you here! User:Ray King | talk
Welcome to AboutUs Greg. I see that you had a question about the Repopulate function. Did you figure it out? If not, just place the tag Repopulate at the top of the page. Best, MarkDilley
- I realize that it is a higher administrative task than you can do, appologize for not realizing sooner. Please let me know what page you want to delete, or get it the way you want it and tag it with Repoplulate. Sorry, MarkDilley
- Done. Best, MarkDilley
- Looks like you were asking about updating things on the new website. Update the thumbnail and there is no about us page or section on your site, so it didn't scrape anything, that can all be added manually. And if you want me to clip something from the image on the page as your logo, that would be easy for me to do. Best, MarkDilley

Ease of Use
This is excellent! Have you make sure that Tak has seen it? He seems to be the one doing the most work on the front page. Maybe he has an idea about a process for creating the next generation of the main page. Either way, if you'd like to create a mock-up of what you have in mind, that would be a really great contribution. Call is AboutUs Home Draft or something? TedErnst
- Yes, I've seen the personalized google pages. I was wondering if that can be done within existing mediawiki or if it would need programming. If existing wiki, let's mock it up and get it done. If it needs programming, then it'll have to go into the hopper and be prioritized for the development team to take care of. TedErnst
- Could you show me what you mean at AboutUs Home Draft? I'd love to see it. Thanks. TedErnst
- Greg, I'm excited to talk more about the Ease of Use concepts. Would love to hear more about your ideas. -- TakKendrick
- Greg, let's meet up to talk about how you can help more. i.e. gaining sysop status. Best, MarkDilley
- yea, it is just the 5 cent tour and stuff, I was here when he was talking to you. I am pretty flexible, you can leave a note when to call you, or you can call me MarkDilley.info. Best, MarkDilley
This week
Sure, come out if you can, else I'll send you the agenda and go over it with you on the phone. Let's talk later today in any event. - Ray | talk (Click "talk" to leave me a message)
- You can set your preferences so that you get an e-mail automatically when your talk page is editted. Else, use e-mail, Skype or IRC. Wiki is a collaborative effort, so the mindset is "work on it when you have time" and "pick up messages when you're working on it". - Ray | talk (Click "talk" to leave me a message)
- Thursday, 3-5PM Ray
- Yes, of course!
Thoughts on Advertising
Hello Gregory,
I'm a little lost on what you mean't by this Incorporate biz dev deals into the bottom and so that external linking that aren't through adbright/adsense can still be value enhancing. --Simon | talk 13:38, 12 March 2007 (PDT)
Hi Greg, you can contact me now MarkDilley.info - do you do Skype? Best, MarkDilley
- also you can usually find me at LiveHelp.
Let's use the telephone then! :-) When would you like to talk? MarkDilley

Create wiki pages
Hi Greg, an easy way is to put double brackets around it. EliasCarson.com and save. MarkDilley
- Looks like that domain is available.
Baseball and Adbrite
Hi Gregory,
MarkDilley is actually the one working with Adbrite, so you might ping him.
As far as baseball goes, we might have to rumble. I'm a Seattle Mariners fan. Although Oakland is sort of our "hated enemies" I do love the team and think they're a model of baseball management. They pick the right players, make the right moves and also admit it when the chances they take don't pan out -- exactly the opposite of what the Seattle front office does. Seattle is very knee jerk, short-sighted and it's upsetting, but, as you know, if you follow a team all your life you have to take the good with the bad and hope that the short sighted moves pan out long term.
I do like the Phillies though. Pat Gillick is kinda responsible for dragging the M's into the cellar his last couple years here, but he has built a nice team in Philly. And Jamie Moyer is my favorite pitcher, maybe not the best, but a damned fine player and great human being with his charity work. I was sad to see him traded. -- TakKendrick

Hello Greg, I saw that you created a shortcut which I thought was cool, but two things. You can always get to yourself via the top right, when you are logged in. Two, you can sign yourself with three or four tilda - example: ~~~ - that will leave a name or a linked name of your choosing through your prefernces. That is much preferable in wiki than the "g"- :-) Best, MarkDilley
- Also to answer your question, yes it is easy but has to happen through the registrar, if the example http://MarkDilley.info is what you are meaning.
- Also, in the CommunityPortal place new items on top ;-)
Catching Up
- Ah, very cool, we're working on this page Portal:AboutUsPlan as well as a financial model which I'll send you soon -- Ray King
- Yes, talking with Pac NW vc's now and will be getting down to the valley shortly. Let's talk more by phone -- Ray King
Alternative Home 1
Hi Gregory,
I'm wondering about a page you created back in March, Alternative Home 1. This seems to be the (at the time) main page. I'm guessing you were using it for some sort of testing and that you're probably done, but wanted to check in before deciding what to do with it. I'm going through all the old images that appear only on the main page and deleting them from the system to help clean up orphaned images that aren't useful and stumbled upon this page.
For now, I'll keep the images and the page, but do let me know when you get a chance on whether you think this page is still useful or what we should do with both the page and related images.
Best,
- Gregory, thanks for the note. I went ahead and deleted the page then. I hadn't noticed any slow down myself, but I was mostly working off-line all day Friday. I'll ask around. -- Tak
