Hello- I took a look at the Wiki and noticed that you recreated the Grid Wide Auction schedule in a table. I manage the Grid Wide Auction schedule through Google and would really appreciate if you just use a link to it. It changes almost on a daily basis. I get IM's and NoteCards from Auctioneers and such all the time asking me to update the Google Doc we have had going for over a year.

I noticed that there was a few auctions left out today on the list. Like I said it changes all the time. I find that most of the kitty cat auction community trust Me and Kitty Kottage to keep track of the list and if we have to many places for them to turn in information then things will get lost or missed.

Those are my two cents.

Quote: The wiki, in my opinion, is a place for the community to provide light-hearted tidbits of factual information and to share knowledge that can ease another's KittyCatS experience, not srs bzns knowledge like lining up which eye is more dominant than the other where people would have something to gain (potential market power) by having editing rights to that. Edits can also be undone by one of us if someone decides, for whatever malicious reason, to vandalize.

If you would you like help make things more complete, sign up and help out. I created the wiki for the community to help each other.

I will not acknowledge takedown requests of information. Key things wont be on the wiki, such as recessive/dominance charts unless we can find a great way (or people volunteer to run it) utilize it. Obviously such things can make or break people, lots of money gets tossed around based on dominance charts. But other things, like who has auctions at what time, no, that should be community information, as it is fact. Every auctioneer should want their information easily accessible. A website that they can update themselves should seem like a great thing for them. A google doc only 1 person can edit on the other hand? That they have so send a notecard, in Second Life? to get it updated? When they could just take 5 seconds to update it themselves on the wiki? You tell me what seems more practical.

Also, as posted on the Original Post, tonight I will be adding the changes Tad and others described to limit who can post and edit information. If you think you would be interested in editing wiki articles, or think you might just want to correct little bits of things, sign up on the wiki! If you would editing rights, just make a post on the wiki's forum after you create your account.

Auctioneers: If you want editing rights to the auctioneer times page, which will be updated in the next day or 2, sign up with an account, and IM me in world, I'll get you added to the Auctioneer's group, so you'll have special rights to edit.

Help is more than welcome indeed and that is what the Wiki is made for.
Notecards can be pretty inconvenient.
Is the person who collects these notecards constantly online to change times and stuff daily?
I think each auctioneer would love to fill out their times, themes and what ever is applicable at least I would.

That's your choice, but posting just to say you have no interest in signing up is a waste of everyone's time. The wiki is meant to be helpful to everyone. Go be against it on your own thread.

I'm all for suggestions to help improve it, but just posting that you want no part in it is just wrong, and frankly, very rude. I have no time for such things.

And again, because it's clearly difficult to grasp, if you would like something to be linked on the wiki, I know...this is a strange concept: Maybe you should post a link to it with your request.

As for discussions about what is currently maintained. Prove it. I have 2 groups saying they update a list of auctions. It's not my job to figure out who has the more reliable list, and I don't think it should be up to anyone to have to figure out. I think there should be a unified resource for people to go to find out any and all information they want. They shouldn't be forced to going to 80 different websites, or browse 100 different google docs.
