If anyone wants to organize a transcript team with me that'd be coo. Preferably 4-6 people could be in on it and take on one episode at a time, divided into 10-15 minute chunks. Someone could also be in charge of formatting/spell checking/keeping things British (yogurt comes to mind). Just an idea. PM me or post here if your up for it. Maybe we can make a Babel thing that says "Transcriber" or sommat. Knockinabout

The Office mainly needs actor and character details. I think actor details can be copied from Wikipedia and chopped down a bit (I did that with Mackenzie Crook, see if it works or not) and character details can be a paragraph or two. I think The U.S Office should be the next Article Attack rather than included in this one, as it's a big job. Also, the toolbox for The Office needs changing as it's "Clark" not "Clarke" in Jennifer Taylor Clark. I created a page for "Clark" and linked to it from The Office. Smuggling Seaweed.

hi gang .... this is a good start for the office characters. smuggling seaweed's page for mackenzie far exceeds all the others -- should we try to be more like that instead for each one? also i think bender32 did well to pick out the most important characters to make new pages for. to me, we shouldn't spend our time on pages for the others but should "un-red" their names. our time is better spent working on other things. IMO. and yours then? Steve is King 19:19, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

PS. i think it IS clarke, with an e. Steve is King 19:19, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, I don't think we need a page for "Ben" or "Trudy" for instance. If they need to be mentioned (like the Welsh woman who Brent says "you've let yourself go" to) then they could be mentioned as part of other characters' articles. SmugglingSeaweed.

How about having a page of "minor characters in the office" with headings for bookmark hyperlinks? (Or is that what you meant?)Knockinabout

So are we just going to copy the info on other sites and paste it here? I think it will be a lot easier. But i think in the rules it says otherwise, I mean I don't want to be "square" or anything...--Thelicdrummer 00:17, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

Knockin About - I like that idea. That wasn't what I meant but that's a better plan. I'll make the page and outline it. Thelicdrummer - I copied the actor details for Mackenzie Crook from wikipedia and edited it a bit to make it shorter. I think copying actor details is alright, but character details should be written by us. When we get round to doing the episode guide/recap, I think we should copy the ones from the bbc website and edit them a bit, to make them shorter and more informal. SmugglingSeaweed

Gtpod (someone edited me out :P I'll do it by jingo!)

Bender32 (i'm off to turkey for a week, but after that i'm free to do a bit of transcribing. Have already started on 04 May 2002, for some reason)

YouTube Links

Thought about this when I looked at the Rik Waller page. What if we had links to YouTube of clips from the show that give an example of the article topic. e.g. Rik Waller, clip of them taking the piss out of Rik Waller, White Van Karl, clip of a White Van Karl. I say YouTube because this is the only site that I can think of that will allow free streaming "audio". Obviously, the downside to this is pictures would be displayed instead of video. They could be stored on the the Pilkipedia YouTube account (if it exists yet). There are probably more pressing issues in Pilki (red links, general content), but I thought I'd get this idea off my chest before I forget.Knockinabout
