User talk:Sokwe

Welcome!

Hi there, and welcome to LifeWiki! In answer to your question on my talk page, some of the LifeWiki conventions are described on the LifeWiki:Style guide page, and in particular the "pattern names should be in lowercase" thing is described at LifeWiki:Spelling. LifeWiki is still very new though so a lot of conventions and whatnot haven't been formally written down, and unfortunately the LifeWiki procedures and guidelines pages are still a bit of a mess. My best advice right now is to just use your best judgment and you'll pick it up in no time. The guidelines are by no means set it stone, and if you have recommendations for what guidelines should be, then you're of course more than welcome to suggest them.

Also, thanks for your contributions to the spaceship article, it's already looking a lot better. I have plans to do something similar with the oscillator article as well, as it's a bit of a mess right now. Nathaniel 18:55, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Silver's

Hi Sokwe, as you seem to create redirs, you may find every Silver list's red link on my home page User:Methodood/sandbox1. --Methodood 06:50, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, a lot of the Lexicon's pages could be made to redirects. I'll look into it tomorrow.

p60 glider shuttle

When you mention the p60 glider shuttle on your userpage, are you referring to a shuttle creating gliders or simply a glider bouncing back and forth? If you mean the former, could I have the pattern? I am trying to make a p60 LWSS gun for the Star gate, and I plan on using glider synthesis to create the LWSSes. Thanks, The last username left 04:44, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Never mind, I just realised that Star gate contains a p60 gun. I'll catalogue it. The last username left 23:53, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Question about Oscillator page maintenance

Hello Sokwe. I'm new to this wiki and have a few questions regarding some recent edits/revisions that you made. The criteria for which oscillators may be listed on the "smallest oscillator" table seems arbitrary and inconsistent. Recently I noticed that 48P31 could interact non-trivially with many oscillators, which I am now aware that many of these interactions were likely noticed by many individuals prior to me. I decided to replace P124 lumps of muck hassler on the smallest oscillator table with the much smaller T-nosed p4 on 48P31, which quickly lead to you deleting the entry for P124 entirely. I also added a few other oscillators of various periods which where also deleted from the table. My question is as follows: What oscillators should and shouldn't be listed in this particular table. The LifeWiki notability guidelines state that a pattern is considered notable if "It currently holds, or at one point held, a record of some kind." which i believe these patterns do (or at least improved upon the entries currently listed in the table). To avoid repetitive edits and reversions of this table can you clearly state what oscillators, periods, and types of oscillator interactions meet the notability guidelines. I appreciate your patience in answering my questions. Jsorr 14:06, 17 September 2011 (CDT)
