 * You now have your very own Book:JC --Yunzhong Hou 01:57, 9 October 2006 (UTC). Err, thanks, I think, but I won't be using it.  --JC 22:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Help! I've added loads of links to nowhere on page Classic: New Standard Timeline and now I want someone to write those nowhere pages! --Yunzhong Hou 23:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC).  I think you've overlinked.  If you want new material on a specific topic, try asking the oracle.  JC 09:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk Pages
Since this wikia is small, anything placed on talk pages will not be noticed unless we check on the recent changes list. I would recommend putting everything either on the relevant user's talk page, or on the community portal Talk:Main Page. Minor comments can be placed in comment markup inside the article text itself. Your practice of putting comments on talk pages is good too; you're not alone. --Yunzhong Hou 16:53, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Reply: Talk Scenario: Cognitive Science
We should be writing our predictions on article pages rather than user pages because it's all about collaboration... So this page should exist as a separate entity on a different page. Once you've been here long enough, you'll see why we do this--if I were to put all my predictions on my user page, it would be 200kb long! So please, move all your predictions onto article pages. Thanks. --Yunzhong Hou 16:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, maybe Scenario:JC needs a new name, and not to be 'owned' by me to make it more open to collaboration. As to breaking it up, well, I was attempting an integrated prediction, cross relating a number of future possibilities.   I think that is useful, and User:Paranoid liked that idea too.  It does leave the problem that potentially we end up with duplicated text, if we make extracts as seeds for new pages.  So any suggestions for:
 * A new name for the scenario that makes it more clear that it is open to edit.
 * How to deal with potential text duplication in 'stub' articles that get spawned off it. JC 19:18, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Easy. Take a primary page and make it into a subcategory under "Predictions" that holds your other pages, and categorize your pages under the various other categories available. --Yunzhong Hou 21:31, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Future fiction collaboration wiki
If you want to direct writers of future fiction to a different wiki, the Fiction Wikia is the way to go. --Yunzhong Hou

Thanks Yunzhong Hou, a useful link. JC 11:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

The future of Anime deletion
User:Paranoid deleted the artical The future of Anime. He said it was useles. When you saw that article you did not delete it. You are an adminstrator and I was hopeing you could help me restore it. I think RyansWorld: Criminalization of television 2040, is way more useles than The future of Anime. How can you tell if an article is useles or not. User:Gjeremy

NIAC input
I noticed that there aren't any mentions of the NASA Institute of Advanced Concepts (NIAC) on this site. I haven't tried to sift through to find if there are any references to NIAC sponsored studies (see the NIAC site), but there are many concepts there that come out into other media. These studies seem pertinent, do you think there would be much interaction if I made sure NIAC was ok with their stuff being published here? Jwiley80 02:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * We do not want to just cut-and-paste material written by others! The NIAC material does look relevant.  I suggest you start by adding links to specific articles it contains on pages here which you think would benefit.  You can also add summaries of your own under fair-use provision.  There is no point asking to republish their material since we can link to it. JC 11:11, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. My question is, are there enough users interacting here to add value to NIAC. If that is the case, then I think they would be very interested in that and would not just cut and paste, but would start to direct people to use this as a forum. I have met with them for the last few days about innovation, and I can see who I might need to talk to that could encourage the organization to collaborate online. Is there enough interaction on subjects they are interested in to go to that trouble? Jwiley80 14:23, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * There aren't enough active users here to add value to NIAC. Look at recent-changes to get a sense of the active user community numbers.  Also the lack of true peer review, which is related to the low numbers, would I expect be a big negative point as far as NIAC is concerned.  However, if you know these people, you're in a better position to judge what's possible.  It would be marvellous to have more interaction, particularly such well informed interaction as comes from NIAC.  I'd certainly welcome it.  If you're interested in building bridges, doing it using interviews that are posted here could be one way - but that is a bit of work for you.  Have a look for example at the existing Interview with Aubrey de Grey (gerontologist).  I'd be interested in seeing an interview with a contributor to the NIAC program, and commenting on it, relating it to any relevant pages here.JC 17:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
