Requests for renaming of page titles should be made at this page.
unkx80: Happy New Year everyone. Wishing everyone a peaceful year ahead. =)
Bill: Best wishes to all for the coming year! :-)
axd: I'd like to know about other opinions concerning ErrataInBooks. IMHO errata that deal with specific books should be moved to a section in an Errata subpage of the concerned book instead of being concentrated on this page; I'm willing to do some edits, but I don't know if there is enough agreement on this. For argumentation, see my input on ErrataInBooks/Discussion. (Maybe reply there rather than here.)
axd: As I get no reaction *at all*, I assume that everybody agrees with the idea so I will start WME those pages.
Arno: I suggest you go ahead. But most of the pages should be renamed. Please don't copy&paste, when renaming the page is possible. Just list the pages to be renamed in PageNameChangerequests.
axd: Thanks.
nunb: I wonder what is the right place to ask this. My brother is in Germany (at Uni) and I wanted to get him started with Go. He speaks German of course, though I do not. I found these two sites: govb.de and degob.de but no information on meetings (I translated through Google). If there are any German deshi hanging around, please could you help? Also if you can move this to an appropriate page, and put a small link here, I will check back tomorrow and remove it. (I thought of putting this in CoffeeMachine but GeneralDiscussionPages seemed to indicate this was a better page for it. Cheers all.
PS: Oh I forgot, he is in Berlin at Humboldt (sp?) and I thought one of the pages mentioned Ryo Kato teaches there, but maybe the translation was off.
Fuchsnoir Hi, look at game meetings in Berlin and here are some
german go meetings. The word to look for is "Spielabend".
P.S. The
first meeting in the first link is at Humboldt Uni.
ProtoDeuteric: I have a simple question. Why was the layout Sensei's Library changed?
Quicksilvre: My reply is kind of late, but see GuineaPigsFeedback for discussion.
Quicksilvre: I believe that the Front Page had its 500,000th hit today. Party!
Bob McGuigan: Bravo to Ferdi, Unkx80 and DanSchmidt for their retrograde analysis problems. Such problems have been popular in chess for a long time but these are the first attempts I've seen in go.
FireFox?: I'm new to Go and do not know that much so I was wondering if any of you know of some good sites that can help me. I was also wondering, my friend plays Go and has been playing for about 2 weeks (he's the reason why I play) and on KGS he is a solid 20 kyu and I was wondering if that is normal for someone who has been playing for a short time. I just want to know so I can have some expectations of my own for the future.
Thanks
Bill: It may be a little quick, but certainly not uncommon. If you take to the game, you will progress rapidly for a year or two. I would not worry at all about ratings during that time. :-)
FireFox?: Thanks for the advice Bill.
Hmm... You can learn the basics here, http://playgo.to/interactive/index.html and later visit goproblems.com and
http://gobase.org... But most important is playing and if you can, get your games reviewed, try the KGS Teaching Ladder... Reuven
(Ohh and btw... There's some site... Called Senseis by the masses where you can find lots of usefull info and help...:)
Hi Kendrew Li?,
Welcome to Sensei's Library.
To avoid having many pages with duplicate content and better naming of page titles, I have done the following:
I hope you do not mind these changes. =)
Have a nice day,
-- unkx80
unkx80: Thanks to all who helped restoring pages. Somehow, this vandal has deleted too much material and was automatically blocked by SL's own defence system.
Bill: Thanks to you and everyone for your care and diligence. :-)
Dieter: unkx80, I'm deliberately not touching your beginner exercises. However, if nobody enters a solution, I will be more than willing to try them a few days from here.
unkx80: I might fill up solutions for the older ones myself in a few days time, but not the problems from 200 onwards. I know I have posted too many problems within one day, so let the others have some time to digest them.
Brent: I, for one, enjoy trying to work through new problems and post my solution -- it makes me more honest/thorough and seems a good way to get feedback if I'm not seeing something correctly. But it takes me a while to work through each problem. So, that's not to say no one may post solutions but me, of course =), but only that it does take some of the fun out of it when dan players come through and post solutions after only a few days, before us DDK's have had a chance to think about them.
Is the page Flabox? wiki vandalism? The original creator's summary "I Rule You" makes it look like vandalism.
Sorry if I edited someone out. I thought the warning considered myself.
Oryx Does anyone know what aLegendWai meant on AmIReallyAMoronIfIDontConnectAgainstThePeep by "resp. next to the opponent's stones in 1ken distance"? Can they either translate it on the page, or explain it to me?
Tderz: I guess it was me (although I didn't not have a look now at that page) introducing this term 1 ken = distance of 1 intersection in between; hence 1 ken? jump is a tobi. ken? as in nikken taka basami? or ikken tobi etc.
Bill: From time to time SL pages do not fit in my browser (except sometimes with the smallest fonts that require a magnifying glass for some text). I am talking no horizontal slider, either. The text just disappears to the right.
Sometimes this happens because text to the right of a diagram, i. e., not separated from it by %s, is indented. Other times I do not know why.
I have a request to everyone. Please, please, do not indent text to the right of diagrams. Thanks. :-)
axd: Bill, I meanwhile corrected a graphic's position in UnusualGobans, did it help?
Bill: Thanks, axd, but no, it didn't help. :-(
Oryx I think you meant, non-indented text to the right of a diagram. I'm curious, what browser and resolution are you using? Please see Oryx/DiagramAndText for a couple of examples of diagrams with text, and let us know if the text on any of the diagrams disapear?
Bill: Thanks for the test page. :-)
I do mean indented text.
Like this.
I am using MyIE2, for security reasons, but I had the same problem with IE. Netscape, as well, I think. Anyway, only with the Smallest text size do I get the whole text on that page.
DJ: I have noticed that we have a page for the European Go Tournament Calendar but we have nothing for workshops, camps, seminars - IOW, didactics. I think that's an important activity in the Go world, so I am going to create the appropriate page: also, I have to advertise our traditional
New Year's Eve Go & Ski Workshop... ;-)
(moved Robert's comment on creating the 10000th page from WikiNews to here --Arno)
Robert Pauli: Well, many pages may also mean lots of trash . . . Nevertheless, what's my prize for having made it? :--)
Arno: well, get yourself a free cup of coffee at the CoffeeMachine. And of course you are now listed in our hall of fame.
axd: tried to visit the Feb 2001 version of SL via the link listed on the above mentioned hall of fame page, but the links there all seem to go back to the current version - not that it is important, but is there a way to navigate in the old version?
Arno: either just view the history of a page (link at bottom of each page) or download an old SL snapshot.
(Sebastian:) I just "WME"d a discussion page (Introduction to the 'press' tactic / Discussion). I understand that it is dangerous to interfere with other people's discussion contributions. I did not change other people's wording, but I split up some contributions and might have moved something out of the intended context. However, I wanted to spare that page the fate of some other discussion pages which ramble along for pages and are just dead weight. Sorry that I hogged the page for a long time and I hope I didn't hold up anyone else who wanted to contribute.
Calvin: I'm not sure where this would go on SL, but here's a cool link with photos of Korean pros. Maybe someone could find a home for it? http://rt.fm/~bk/baduk/korean_professionals/korean_pros.html
Rich: just a general message FAO any deshi = PlayKikashiBeforeLiving has been vandalised. Oh, and Bill -I agree, it's not all bad. :)
Bill: I know that I have criticized aLegendWai's presentation of his ideas. However, he has brought our attention to pages with inadequately explained, poorly presented, or flawed material. For that we owe him our gratitude. :-)
Hi Bill, thanks for the additions in the RTG Problem 24 / Solution. =) --unkx80
Bill: Thanks to you, unkx80, for posting these problems. :-)
