Janosabel: /* Delegating tasks */

==Re: CAT Documentation==
[[User:Keith|@Keith]] I've replied to your message at [[User talk:Travis]]. Let me know if you'd like to discuss further approaches to organizing the documentation. [[User:Travis|Travis]] ([[User talk:Travis|talk]]) 14:43, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

==Delegating tasks==

Hello Keith,

You said at the meetup that you found it easy to delegate.

This interests me because when I was in business, I found it difficult delegate: did not believe people could not do a good enough job and I would be still responsible for the results.

Is this topic of interest to you?

:I think that in the context of wikis or any kind of community project, one needs to be able to trust others to get anywhere (perhaps with some verification too at times).
:I'm under absolutely no illusion that I can do all or even much of this by myself, and we have some really talented and great people on the team!
:There's no way of achieving the results we'd want without spreading the workload and decision-making responsibility. [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 09:33, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
::I understand what you mean.
::Just realised, I was speaking about me half a century ago; and not being able to trust delegees cost me a burnout. Without delegation even if imperfect, what must be done cannot be done.
::Unfortunately I cannot help by contributing to the Wiki for lack of academic training in the required writing style, but put on my talk page a witness account how supermarkets expanding to local areas are killing independent small traders.
::PS. What is the difference between <edit source> and using the <reply> button? [[User:Janosabel|Janosabel]] ([[User talk:Janosabel|talk]]) 20:05, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

==Discussion page issue==

Hello @[[User:Janosabel|Janosabel]],

I saw mention on your user page that you were having issues starting a discussion page. This is due to an incompatibility of the discussion pages with our CAPTCHAs so I have taken the liberty of excepting you from completing them by confirming your account.

==Supermarket "locals" eliminating independent local shops==

About 10 years ago a a grocery shop near Mornington Crescent, was price-killed by Sainsbury's of Camden Town.

The "local" opened next but one to the local shop with clearly lower prices on everything.

The grocery store closed within two weeks and the prices in Sainsbury Local soon went up to the usual premium levels.

I think that economics is really a way of exploiting society for business ends. See Thorsten Vablen's writings.

== Looking good ==

Looks like we are doing alright so far with this page; lol... people go ahead of me - [[User:Atsumari|Atsumari]] ([[User talk:Atsumari|talk]]) 02:51, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

== Can we categorize this? ==

Just to clean up [[Special:UncategorizedPages]]. I suggest putting this page under [[:Category:CAT]]. [[User:Waldo|Waldo]] ([[User talk:Waldo|talk]]) 08:07, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Moved this into the CAT category so it isn't eaten by special pages as requested; looks like it may have already been in the root namespace but just for clarity sake until we build a full on mainpage. Thanks for the catch <3 - [[User:Atsumari|Atsumari]] ([[User talk:Atsumari|talk]]) 11:36, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

== Anonymization of non-logged in user IPs ==

I would like to request that users who make edits without user accounts do not have their full IP published in the edit log.

: I made a suggestion on the Discord server on your behalf. [[User:Waldo|Waldo]] ([[User talk:Waldo|talk]]) 10:44, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello there,

Thank you for the link to this interesting project.

What is your name?

:Hello, that was me - great to see you here! It was really nice getting to speak with everyone there, and I hope you'll find it useful! You can @ me on here for discussions, or I am also frequently available on the Discord linked in the sidebar (same name there) [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 07:39, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
::Good to hear back from you.

I am interested in economic justice and think that current economics exist to justify fraudulent practices in "serving" the public.

A juicy quote from Adam Smith: People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.

==But I am experiencing "I am human" security nuisance trying to edit my user page==
Do I have to do this check every time I edit?
