mystery

  1.  
    1. spatialed, i love the mystery base. let me play with the alien schema. once its done we may know once and for all!!!

      what i mean is id like to be an admin on that base if possible,

      cheers-

      1. hey, do you know anything about organism/organism classification?

        i'm trying to do a list of all dinosaurs but all the Ornithopods are already typed as 'organism classification', instead of organism,  like Laosaurus.

        is this wrong?

      2. Organism is only to be used to describe individual organisms. For example Seabiscuit: http://www.freebase.com/view/en/seabiscuit

        Organism classication is used to describe taxonomy (i.e., similar groups of organisms).

      3. how would you feel about mystery being renamed 'The paranormal'?

        or am i forking it too much?

      4. I'm on the fence... Originally, I started this base to describe cryptids, which could just be good at hiding and not outside science's current ability to explain or measure - there just haven't been enough well structured surveys to prove or refute them. I started up the Folklore base to hold those "cryptids" that were physically impossible or otherwise so imaginary to be more mythical than mysterious. Adding UFOs to the Mystery base expanded its scope quite a bit, which has led us to this subject of paranormal...

        Short answer, I'm leaning towards sticking with "Mystery" as a nursery base. It's done a decent job of spawning new ideas for schema so maybe it should stay as-is, with new bases such as a "Paranormal" splitting off of it when ready. For example, the UFO schema are starting to mature pretty well so maybe it's time to fledge them into a "UFO" base of their own? I could go either way about that. It's kind of fun to see all the mysteries in one place too!

      5. ha, yes agree. is it possible to move types around? I dont object to a sister ufo base, or paranormal base. your call.  i was going all 'miracles-that-jesus-did' this afternoon.

        if we split it, help me out on the others.

      6. Will do. Probably the best way to approach a split is to create a new base and then file a Jira ticket with a list of relevant schema to move to it. There was a short period when base admins could do it themselves and I betcha that functionality will eventually be made available again but for now we need to ask nice like.

      7. Oh yeah, it's interesting that you are modeling miracles. I was just today thinking about modeling sacred relics...

      8. waitin on the jira..
