Talk:CNN

From Katrina Help Info

Concern about incorrect links:

When I checked this page at 11:20 PM CST on Monday, the links for pages 38-47 were all pointing to page 37 on the CNN site. I fixed the links, but several of these had already been claimed, raising the concern that some people may be repeatedly entering page 37 rather than the correct pages. --Dmdwiggi 00:26, 6 Sep 2005 (EDT)

CNN Editing Confusion:

Ugh, I grabbed page 38 when it was in the Near Complete category. Should I work on it or unclaim it? hobbes747 00:32, 6 Sep 2005 (EDT)

CNN Editing Confusion:

Actually, after looking at this further, I'm questioning the methodology of the way this was "chunked." It appears that the names are being alphabetized as they are added. This means that new names are likely constantly being inserted in the middle of the list. So I'm not sure that the single page chunks people have been entering accurately include all entries. Perhaps someone with more familiar with how this was supposed to be set up could weigh in? (On a related note, it looks like someone has done some work on scraping this programatically on the tech side, so maybe it can all be sucked in that way.) --Dmdwiggi 00:42, 6 Sep 2005 (EDT)

CNN Editing Confusion:

Hm, well, I took my name off of the CNN page. I didn't do it because I was waiting for the a response. Good to hear it has a scraper now! --hobbes747 06:59, 7 Sep 2005 (EDT)
