New Year's Quiz[edit]

  • 15/15...the Football questions were to determine if you are a well rounded individual rather than an elitist snob...J/K, but seriously, not caring about a topic is not a good reason to exclude that topic, some people don't care about names of storms for example. Sarasota Slammer

Don't you have a quiz over on es: ? --Brian McNeil / talk 22:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, we do. Actually, I wrote the last one myself ;-) Why do you ask? --Boricuæddie 22:31, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Because I was too lazy to check for interwiki. :-P In case you missed discussion here, Cormac Lawler from Wikiversity was delighted to see us using the Quiz extension. It gives them a great example to point at. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:35, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well done. Despite writing about 3 of the events for Wikinews and writing the quiz I still only got 7/8. (I did the quiz the day after I set it).--User:Anonymous101 Talk 18:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The rest of us are trying to sleep off dinner. We kidnapped the two turkeys President Bush pardoned and had one for Christmas, and the other for New Year. IIRC Dick Cheney called them "lunch" and "dinner". --Brian McNeil / talk 19:51, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Something wrong with the first two questions. First one in the answers says she was sentenced to 40 lashes, she wasn't. Second one lists an unrelated article with the answers and I think the answer is wrong anyway. (checked photo) --Brian McNeil / talk 09:15, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 17:51, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It says she did NOT recieve 40 lashes (although it might have changed since you said that) --Anonymous101 19:11, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not much happening this week, sorry it's so short. I'll try to make it longer next time when something actually happens (that's covered by Wikinews, anyway). If I get time I'll extend it. Problem solved. Auroranorth 12:28, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed that. The coding was changed. FellowWiki Newsie 16:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that was my mistake. Auroranorth 23:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
