You know when a song gets stuck in your head and you just have to share it with everyone, just so it’ll leave you and dump on someone else? (Do you want to be my someone else?)
Brave3, one of the most awesome contributors around, shared the following music video with me, which was shared with him by Ksmail, the proclaimed Youtube King. It’s… well, let’s just say it’s somewhat relevant if you listen to the chorus:
If you are what you eat…does that mean I’m not actually a woman, but rather a chocolate milkshake and fries? Can you imagine what life would be like as a chocolate milkshake and fries!? I guess it might be similar to life as a woman…sweet but salty, hot and cold, crispy and smooth. That’s how life is, really.
No?
Let’s take a moment to recall the important foods that you should be eating everyday to keep your body healthy and in good working order. Proteins. Green vegetables. Fruits. Lots of water. All the major vitamins and minerals.
The other day one of our awesome WikiAnswers Supervisors (Ganderton) posted a request for help on the forum. He – along with most of us – would very much like to see our Miscellaneous category lose some weight.
Miscellaneous is often used as a last (and first) resort for question placement. Unfortunately, most questions that go into this area could be better categorized somewhere else. Each day Miscellaneous packs on the pounds; in fact, for every 100 questions removed and recategorized, 30 more are added. Because we now feature over 2,300 categories, there are very few questions that would truly qualify as Miscellaneous.
Ganderton mentioned that his first action in the morning is to bring up new questions in Miscellaneous – with the entire page full of miscategorized questions. He does this several more times throughout the day; however, he has never found where he left off on the previous session. In his words, “It’s like bailing out the Titanic with a tea cup.” So we are asking for your help. If every Supervisor could dedicate just 15 minutes a day to moving questions out of Miscellaneous, it would certainly shape up fast.
Here are a few pointers: As a question reaches high popularity in the Unanswerable Questions to Edit category it will have various alternate wordings that can be swapped for the current version. This is an easy way to figure out what the person was most likely asking. Often the question will get answered by someone who understands gibberish and you can reword the question to reflect what the answer tells you.
(Another gigantic THANK YOU to Ganderton for helping write this post and for his dedication to WikiAnswers and the cause of the greater good. Onward and upwards!)
