StaceyEllis.jpgSometimes I like to hang out with my friends! A Chico kid through and through, I spent the first 20+ years of my life growing up in this town. That, combined with my love of wikis, means I spend entirely too much time here. I like to think of myself as the second-hardest working person currently contributing to this wiki (my dear friend Ryan takes the honor of first), although I'd be happy to give my self-appointed title up to anyone who wants to help us out and contribute. No longer living in Chico, I write from afar. Well, from Davis, but still.

It turns out that I've become something of a wiki gnome around here, which isn't nearly as creepy as it sounds. It does mean that I'm pretty familiar with most of the pages and how to's in this wiki community. Have any Chico or wikispotwiki (or Chico Wiki!) related questions? Leave a comment below or drop me a line: <stacey AT SPAMFREE chicowiki DOT org>

Sorry to be so terribly boring, but I already have a page about davismyself on the davisDavis Wiki if you really care to know anything more about me. Check it out, if you'd like to hear more about a nerdy geography grad student. (And who doesn't want to hear more about that???)

Wiki-addiction is a serious problem of mine. In addition to Chico Wiki, I can sometimes be seen helping out on some other wikis:

I'm sure I could find more to add to this list (I watch the changes over at wikispotWiki Spot in general to see what's new in the larger world of community wikis and have been known to occasionally leave comments over at woodlandWoodland Wiki's restaurant pages), but it's probably plenty for now.

2008-01-19 18:10:42   Hey... what the heck is a wiki????

This is Natalie by the way :) —67.121.238.4


2008-03-01 15:50:53   If this truly <begin italics> were <end italics> a creative commons wiki, with input and editing privileges for all, I'd be able to edit your profile. Curious to see what I'd write? I'm curious to see what Admin feels like... —AdamCreighton


2008-03-04 09:20:41   We should have written down somewhere how we were going to attack Butte College pages :-) Was I on the right track changing to "Butte College *"? —RyanMikulovsky


2008-03-04 19:26:23   Awesome gnoming! It's those big sweeps that are intimidating to many people but really improve wikis. —JabberWokky


2008-03-07 18:41:04   Around this time every year, you can see Stacey celebrating a decision two other people made, about two and a half decades ago—nine months before there was a she. —75.109.248.33


2008-04-03 22:43:27   How about a luscious sponge cake! But really, fantastic work. It's pretty amazing how much you've done in just the last week. Wow! —RyanMikulovsky


2008-05-11 20:30:32   uh-oh, looks like someone's making a cake soon... —RyanMikulovsky


2008-05-16 00:04:02   For the help on editing pages, you might just want to start with the pages I wikispotcompletely rewrote to eliminate Engrish. —BrentLaabs


2008-05-18 11:27:09   Time for Tres Leches Cake. —RyanMikulovsky


2008-05-18 23:36:15   Thanks for the tip Stacey! Yep, KC tipped me off, so I thought I'd help out :) —RyanSanders


2008-05-20 20:34:00   thanks for the warm welcome. I am originally from Napa, and moved to chico in early 2007 to attend chico state. —slammin211s


2008-07-06 17:52:56   Thanks for the help Stacey. Yes, it was me that uploaded the "fire Crew on Centerville Road" photo the other day. I'm a little awkward with all of this. I'll have to do a little more research on the "how-tos" of all of this before it add anything more. It's a great website. Bernice —66.82.9.57


2008-07-17 21:06:10   I am wondering if there is some way to keep the map feature for former buildings. Perhaps just specifying a street name or intersection? It will take me forever to go through that list I compiled. If there are any that you would like me to prioritize, just let me know. Be well, —GregBard


2008-07-27 10:16:20   Thanks for the heads up on my wikispot/chicowiki profile confusion, and thanks for working so hard on this wiki! —jonodavis


2008-09-03 11:14:46   Thanks for whatnotting that entry. I just caught the template rewrite. —JabberWokky


2008-10-12 10:27:26   Hey Stacy, I don't know how to tell you this, but the whole "riot" thing is a propaganda production of the police and the ER. There never was a riot of any kind until the police tactics changed in 1987. We don't have to help these evil people demonize the young people in this town. Its their own disrespect and ignorance of human nature that causes these problems... not groups of young people who mostly just want to have a good time with no trouble. -GB —GregBard


2009-04-08 15:41:27   gold star for the day! —RyanMikulovsky


2009-05-06 15:52:46   Thanks for the comment, sorry I'm tardy with a response. I am very glad to see the chicowiki growing after how valuable it was to me in Davis. How are you liking Davis by the way? I know quite a few grad students at UCD, but never a geography one before :) —JohnNash


2009-05-06 21:24:24   Thanks, I have a very good teacher, she is great. —marthawetter


2009-05-08 13:44:21   Ah yes, UCD can be quite a bit different in that regard. Most of the grad students I know are either in Poli Sci or the Spanish department, with a few scattered in different departments. What building is geography based in? The Death Star would be my first guess. If you ever need any recommendations for places to live (or not for that matter), let me know, I spent almost 6 years there, two after I graduated, so I am pretty familiar with it still. —JohnNash


2009-05-11 08:57:34   Interesting. I knew Walker had been used but I guess I never thought to ask for what. I had been in there a few times, doing the whole exploring thing. I had a lot of classes in Hunt, which on the bottom floor there, were very tiny and for some reason, always at 8 AM. For some reason I seem to recall hearing the geography program was being discontinued while I was there, but I honestly cannot recollect why or how. Though I had no idea how large of a grad program they had, that is amazing. I always did enjoy the death star. The easiest way to get around it is to pick out the tall spire of stairs and then remember your compass points. It becomes easier somehow that way, but I won't lie, I did come face to face with a wall from time to time. It's a great time killer to sit there and watch in the middle of the day as all the new poli sci and history kids look in futility for their offices. I just moved to Chico in December, though I have been coming up for about 2 years, so the town isn't brand new to me. I have always found it important to get to know the town I live in fast (ie why I love wikis) so I have picked up on it greatly. But any of your knowledge I will gladly take! —JohnNash


2009-05-12 13:49:56   Holy crap, you weren't kidding about deciding to over haul the events —JohnNash


2009-05-13 07:36:28   Well, good news is, the Silver Dollar Fair comments show people pay attention to second page search results on Google! —RyanMikulovsky


2009-05-14 17:56:29   Does the event page move forward automatically or do we need to clear every date that passes? As of now, May 13th is still listed. —JohnNash


2009-05-14 18:46:10   Well I am glad for that, I'd probably remember at first and then look back and have missed a few weeks. Oh well. Thanks for backing up all my new pages with your gnome skills ;) —JohnNash


2009-05-16 10:00:17   thanks for back-reverting recent changes. I hadn't had my coffee yet and thought the recent changes tab would let me revert the front page ;-) Lesson learned. I hate vandals. —RyanMikulovsky


2009-05-17 21:20:14   Great job finding the truth behind the Miller Mansion and related pages! That is what wikis are all about! I wonder what next should be looked at closely. —RyanMikulovsky


2009-05-18 21:58:13   Re:Jake's and several others...

You don't have to delete those redirects. If someone wants to expand one, nothing is stopping that. However, if you delete them, that is one less link for people.

I think it is better to leave the historical name as part of the article unless there is an actual article written already. No one will ever write an article about "Beer and Liquor World" as opposd to Sierra Market, for instance.


2009-05-19 15:14:12   Ah I kept meaning to ask about the wiki links, keeps slipping my mind. Thanks for reading it before it was lost forever. I had no idea about the me link either, that's pretty nifty, because I definitely forget it, usually once per edit ;) —JohnNash


2009-06-03 14:03:24   Looks good to me, if I think of anything, Ill add it on :) —JohnNash


2009-08-04 20:00:24   Hi Stacey! Thanks for the warm welcome and help with editing. :) —Pietro


2009-09-22 16:16:56   I fixed your geeksquad page info for you. —24.23.18.130
