My pleasure! You're doing a wonderful thing, getting texts and various links into these episode pages. I promise at some point I will do a few sections here and there. You can see that (when I had a lot of free time) I got episodes 762 and 780 rather spiffy. But I know the formatting helps a lot, and I definitely want to model your approach of doing just one or two sections at a time. Also whenever I get to proofreading your transcriptions, pleeeease don't be too upset if I clean them up a bit, mainly for the sake of some punctuation and smoother readability. Keep on trucking. I'm on social media (search xanderox) so you might be able to reach me outside of this wiki!

Oh come on, I won't be upset. I'm actually hoping you will, as I'm not a native speaker. Besides, punctuation is the most difficult. Regardless of the language :P

Yeah, punctuation can be super tricky sometimes. What's your native language? P.S. I started transcribing the intro to 872!!!

It's polish:) Keep on keeping on!!! I noticed I started to have a love-hate relationship with the list of episodes that need transcribing. One day I'm like "we're never gonna finish this" and the other "oh hell yeah, let's do this! I'm gonna do them all. Today!" By the way, I thought I found you on Reddit, long story short - it wasn't you but we have a new SGU listener :)

Nice job finding a new listener! I'm not really on Reddit.

Automation

Heya, I've been working on automation to create the transcriptions. I have 2 major milestones left: breaking the transcript up into segments putting templating in place (so that everything is pretty)

If you're interested in giving me a hand, I could really use your help with the second part. If you want to reach out on discord: plague006 You can also email me at gmail with the username above. Huge kudos for all the work you've done! Mheguy (talk) 03:45, 20 July 2024 (AEST)

Thanks for reaching out! I'll definitely send you an email. I'm a big fan of crisp, clean, consistent formatting, for sure! Let's just make sure whatever text that comes out of the automation can be easily integrated into and edited within this Wiki. Cheers!

I created a first batch of pages with the tool: 991-994. There are known issues: the speaker identification (especially in the intro) is hit-or-miss. And article names cannot be retrieved for some websites as they block bots. If you spot any issues or see anything that can be improved, let me know. Mheguy (talk) 21:20, 29 July 2024 (AEST)
