August 5, 2010 I BID A FOND FAREWELL TO ROCWIKI!!! Updated April 2, 2011 |
|
Life since 2008 has been difficult, with medical and family tragedies, but highly productive for wiki activities. RocWiki editing got me through the cancer surgery recovery in 2008 and ![[bufwiki]](https://rocwiki.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/inter.png){kind=small} BufWiki gave me an alternative focus after my daughter's death in 2008. I am especially proud of the work I put into 2009 and 2010 and for my work on BufWiki as well.My melanoma has now spread to my liver and my time is getting shorter. Our move to Virginia was completed on the15th of August 2010 and I was fortunate to complete a Compassionate Use Treatment with Ipilimumab. You can find more information on my CaringBridge Site, find me on Twitter and Things Worth Sharing RocWiki is now off my Bucket List. The rest I leave to all of you with fond memories and my best wishes. I hope others will join in, review my previous work and implement some of the strategies I have tried to use for RocWiki improvement (;>} !!!  Creative Commons 2.5 on XKCD.com |

STATS
-
See Stats History for old details.
Current Total RocWiki Pages = 16962 - See also User Statistics
NOTE:
The Stats macro apparently feeds off of cached data and may not represent actual totals. The Edits number includes both Edit - Save Changes and Save New Page, so it includes the Pages Created number.
One can trace back through their UserInfo pages to their oldest Edits - for example for me as of April 21, 2010
https://rocwiki.org/Users/BradMandell?action=userinfo&offset=103 Oldest 103] - July 2008 and 2007
There are 100 entries per page, so I had 10,200 actions plus the 65 on the 103rd page = 10,265 actions. These actions include the Page Creates, Page Edits, and Page Delete actions. The Deletes are not accounted separately. The Files actions are not recorded in the UserInfo and it is possible to do several Files actions within one of the recorded Edit sessions. However, it is possible to do a File action with no recordable Edit when you click on an "image requested link" or replace an image via a click on the image.
