Future ideas
This can be a running list of ideas previously proposed/voted on. When we need a new list to choose, we can use this as a starting point.
Usual criterial
- No living persons
- No copyrighted material
- Ideally an easily referenced list we can copy to wikitech, and cycle through sequentially.
- We have not used same list in another site (elements are in EQIAD, so we won't use that elsewhere.)
The List
codfw naming discussion
- THIS IS NOW CLOSED
- just keeping the info here for future naming needs.
- Now closed, using en:List_of_proper_names_of_stars with some disclaimers, see main page. --RobH (talk) 16:42, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
So what are we going to standardize our naming miscellaneous servers as on the new datacenter site? --RobH (talk) 22:32, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
Criteria:
- No living persons
- No copyrighted material
- Ideally an easily referenced list we can copy to wikitech, and cycle through sequentially.
- We have not used same list in another site (elements are in EQIAD, so we won't use that elsewhere.)
List suggestions:
- Asset Tag : Learn to look things up before you work on them (I know that no one else likes this idea) --RobH (talk) 22:32, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- Crayola Crayon Colors : Chad suggests en:List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors
- Astronomy : Daniel suggests en:List_of_proper_names_of_stars
- +1 from: Giuseppe, Rob, Otto
- Maybe use rotating alphabetical in this list? A, B, C...A',B',C'. That way we don't have all names starting with A.
- e.g. Acamar, Baham, Canopus, ...Achernar, Beid, Capella, ...
- Mountain peaks (lots of names so we can cull down to a list of names not like exeminewisgdklgh :-P) -- ariel (talk) 07:21, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
- +1 (otto)
- en:Category:Lists_of_lists : Reedy jokes but this is a good link to find other lists, so I'm adding it. --RobH (talk) 18:56, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
- Nixon's enemies (but only if we don't need more than 20)
