Hey, I've noticed that there's no guidelines for editing. Do I have to follow a certain layout when editing/writing articles? A standardized system such as the one that Theopedia uses might be helpful. Apologician
Hi Apologician. Welcome! There isn't a layout yet. I only started the website earlier this week, so I'm still thinking about these things and would love your thoughts. Do you mean like the standard article in Example article and the guidelines in the writing guide? They certainly look good to me. Perhaps we could copy those almost verbatim, although I'd perhaps like to include a multimedia section for MP3's/videos. What do you think? --Nopaniers 08:07, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Yes, a system similar to that of Theopedia or any other Wiki would certainly be useful, not to mention increase the look of professionalism. As for copying verbatim, you could do that provided you give proper attribution to whomever you took it from. The MP3's/videos idea sounds great, perhaps we could also include some pertinent articles on some apologetic topics as well. Apologician 18:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Hey mate. I've copied those pages from Theopedia (and attributed to them, which should be fine under the creative commons license). It should at least give us some guidelines to work by... I noticed you started the Cosmological Argument. I hope that I'm helping :-) Also, would you like some extra rights, on this site? To make this site work we need good people like you to make a contribution, and if you do that you deserve to have more rights than your average user.--Nopaniers 14:08, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
If you want to, I suppose. I'm fine with it. --Apologician 06:43, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
Cool. You have a couple of extra rights now - you can protect pages, delete, undelete and rollback. If you use them is up to you :-) --Nopaniers 02:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I would suggest that we get a better logo. --Apologician 05:49, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Nice idea mate. Any suggestions for it? --Nopaniers 06:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Well it's your website, I'm letting you decide. As for acquiring the desired logo, I'm semi-decent at designing stuff. I suppose if you give me an idea of what you want I could design it. That, or you could design it yourself (granting you have better experience) or get someone else to do it. --Apologician 06:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey mate. I'm a bit of a science geek and not so good at logos (as you can tell). I've been looking around at different apologetics logos. I'm thinking a combination that something that represents thinking (a lot have Rodin's Thinker on them) and something Christian (like maybe a fish or a cross). If you do make a logo, I'd be very grateful, and we could definitely make it the logo of the site.
Thank you for your contributions so far. A wiki quickly becomes both our website as we write articles... and hopefully in future the website of many more people! --Nopaniers 10:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey, two of my friends both designed logos. Take your pick.
Regardless of which one you choose, credit is to be given to innoxiuss for the stock image. See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en for details.
If you choose the first one, credit should be given to Arty for editing the image. If you choose the second one, credit should be given to g33k456 for editing the image. --Apologician 01:41, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey mate! Thank you so much! I like both. They are both great. Please thank the guys who made these! I think I'll put up the first one and see how it goes. --Nopaniers 03:40, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Nice! It's up, and looking good :-) If Arty has a link to say his blog or something, we could put that on the front page in his acknowledgement for the logo. In fact, if you want we could add one to your blog too. Thank you all again! :-D --Nopaniers 03:59, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Now that I look at it, do you want me to tell Arty to add perhaps a cross or fish in the area of all that white space? Also, his blog is at http://www.blog.koroinu.com/. Adding a link to my blog isn't necessary. --Apologician 06:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Yes. I agree, something in the top left would be really good. I'll link his blog now. Happy Easter Apologician! --Nopaniers 11:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I just registered to the wiki. Here's the logo with the cross: http://koroinu.com/media/apologetics2.png oh, and can you link to http://koroinu.com instead? My blog isn't really completed. --Arty 19:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi Arty. Welcome! The new logo is awesome. Thank you for doing that! I hope you stick around and maybe even write something. If ever you need your blog address changed then just say. --Nopaniers 07:26, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Would you mind if I started a category dedicated to responding to the counter-apologetics wiki? --Apologician 19:21, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
