Outdated, Incorrect and Bad Info On Main Page

5
#15329243 - 11/05/11 10:24 PM (6 months, 20 days ago)

As many of you know the Shroomery's main page is littered with incorrect,
outdated and terrible information and advice from years passed when the
community and its members did not know as much about cultivating mushrooms. A group of
generous Shroomerites and myself in the past have spent a few weeks going
through the main page and deleted and edited a LOT of articles to try and get
rid of a lot of the misconceptions that are spread around constantly.

Here is what I am suggesting.

If you come across outdated, terrible, or wrong information on any page
on the sites main page please post the link here with the offending
information. I will try to spend some time each day (when I do have extra time) to
edit/delete or remove the terrible information that is constantly being
spread and repeated in the hopes to help out those who are new from screwing
up their experiments or passing along terrible information.

PLEASE limit your posts in this thread to adding links to outdated and bad
information so I do not have to weed through banter or off topic discussions
to find and edit/delete the offending articles. Any other TC's that want to
help out are more then welcome.

EDIT: I just spent the last 45 minutes editing,deleting and moving articles
from the main pages and I remember why this project came to a halt. The
work is tedious and often TEKS will have a lot of good solid information
and then turn into garbage as it goes. Because of this sorting through
teks and articles can take a long time as you have to carefully read
what is being passed along.

I almost made the mistake of using this horrible tek and have seen others do the same. Not sure if it's outdated or not, but it sucks. Cheers :toast:

I got about this far:

so i tried to go through to see some bad info to pick out.

got through everything that looks like it was already fixed.

and then i got high...

maybe we should list what is already considered "done and fixed"

and then we can slowly work through it as a group. :thumbup:

If I remember correctly we already cleaned the Getting started section. I'll try to find some time and clean other sections but I can't guarantee anything. I still have CSM editor powers so if you want to join EM, send me a PM and I'll give you CSM editor powers :wizard:

Don't mean to jumble the thread, although I am new I can spot some relatively easy misinformation. I would be glad to offer my help. I became a Sponsor because all of you guys who have been around are great and this is one way other then being a supporter I can offer my help. Together we can get this Forum into tip top shape. :thumbup:

I've read it 3 times and I'm still not quite sure why you would want to build this:

This one is now missing pictures and would seem to me to be less effective than a regular SGFC:

Here's a pretty bad one...

http://www.shroomery.org/8424/Ramsey-Vermiculite-Seal

advocates putting a layer of tinfoil between verm barrier and brf mix, using only one large inoculation/GE hole, using a crockpot for sterilization of jars, and eating spent cakes :eek:

Since we are going through and deleting bad information, is there any reason we shouldn't repopulate the pages with good, time tested teks? We could use some of the links from this thread:

This is the Archive, a section where originally we put all the old/outadated info. There is a big disclaimer on top of the page. You want to go through all the other sections.
Scary stuff though :picard:

I think some of the info in the "Your favorite and most informative links" thread should be linked into the rest of the site like this one is:

http://www.shroomery.org/11330/Psilocybe-cubensis-Strain-Information

Starting with this one to replace that shitty GLC tek:

Yes but first we need to delete all the bad/outdated info, then we can add new teks. Also I am pretty sure we already have a link to Cervantes' thread in the Getting started section.
