I believe you were working from an old list. His name was spelled exactly the same as the list you edited.

The list I edited was the one I copied directly from http://www.talossa.ca/files/citizens.php a few hours prior. The most recent capture on the WayBack Machine from four months ago still has it.

The error in question was that the name was spelled Martì-Paír instead of Martì-Páir.

All I know is that when I pasted from your list, there was no change on mine. Nevertheless, hopefully the list is accurate now.

Is this something the Secretary of State can do?

Sorry Baron, can I do what? Clark this?

It helps to read all the posts. Haha.

The point of having an SoS is that, in practice as well as theory, the SoS tends to stick around much longer than a single Cosa term. I can't imagine the chaos that would ensue if every new term, someone else was in charge of running the minutiae of a Clark.

I would hope that if someone really wanted to change how the Secretary of State handled the business of his office, the current Secretary of State would be asked for input.

Kind of embarrassing to get publicly corrected like this, honestly.

It wasn't my intention to embarrass you or anyone else, so I deeply apologise. As I said, it's not fun for me either, and I only did it because not doing so as Ladintsch Naziunal would've been negligent on my part and tantamount to nonfeasance in my opinion.

You could have privately messaged His Majesty instead of doing it in public.

I'm glad that this could be resolved so quickly.

Fun fact: One of the people whose name was misspelled in the Database was none other than Martì-Páir Furxhéir himself!

I hate misspelled names. I hate them so much that I wrote a blog post about it, albeit in Talossan... anyway, the rampant misspellings that float around on here are the bane of my existence, especially considering that the correct spellings are not recorded in one place. The Database, the Wiki, Talossa.Net and of course Witt all have different flavours of misspelled names, making it impossible for laypeople to figure out which one is actually correct!

In that case, it sounds like we need a programme to make sure the correct spellings are used on the Database, the Wiki and talossa.net. This sounds like something the Ladintsch Naziunal, @the Secretary of State and @the Minister of STUFF should be getting their heads together on, ASAP.

I have updated the names in the database. Most of them were already correct.

Just checking if my incoming colleagues on this committee, @the Mençéi and @the Túischac'h, are ready to start work for the First clark?

Just a heads up to the Mençéi, the Túischac'h, the King and the (incoming - not yet official ) Seneschal:

I'm having problems with the database. It is possible, thought not set just yet, that I may not be able to use the database for the upcoming Clark. If so, we will conduct the Clark the old-fashioned way here on Wittenberg. I will let all of you know when a decision has been made.

Thanks,

Txec

Just an FYI - I'm having problems with the database, so some of the information below is subject to change when I get it working correctly.

It is my pleasure to open call for bills of the August 2021 Clark.

Eventually, the clark can be viewed in real time here:

www.talossa.ca/files/cosa_vote_result.php?cosa=56&clark=1 (for the votes)

and here:

www.talossa.ca/files/clark.php?cosa=56&clark=1 (for the bills )

It is NOT too late to submit bills, of course, as you have OFFICIALLY until the morning of the 31st of this month, provided your bills have been in the Hopper before end of business day the 21st, of course. I will make the Clark on August 1st's morning and bills submitted up to a few hours before that will probably also be taken.

PLEASE note that in order to support a bill, you need to:

1 ) Be a Senator, the Secretary of State or the King
or
2 ) Have been nominated as a Cosa Member for the upcoming Clark BEFORE the 21st,

To vote on the Clark, you will once again have 2 options:

1 ) You will be able to vote in the Clark thread (which will be created later on the 1st of July), as usual. I will enter your votes in the DB.

2 ) You will be able to vote directly in the database, using your usernumber and DB password (which you can retrieve at: www.talossa.ca/files/login.php using the PSC of the election) or by login via Facebook (which retrieve manual activation on my part).



Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă,
Secretár d'Estat

I've also set you as a moderator for The Hopper.

Often, if the monarch did not agree with the messages being communicated by the Commons, it would result in the early death of the Speaker.

Therefore, often Speakers took the position at great risk and had to be dragged from their seat in order to accept the post.

I'm glad that we live in more civilised times nowadays ;)

I assume the first thing I'll do after the Secretary of State makes this election official (assuming this is still in the rulebooks, I'd have to doublecheck) is to try and establish some sort of Code of Conduct or Standing Orders for the Cosă; for example there appears to be no way for MCs to raise points of order as of now, and there are no regular Terpelaziun sessions either, and I'd like to see both of these issues fixed. I don't know who would even be in charge of establishing Standing Orders nowadays since I believe the corresponding Council was abolished a while ago...

I hereby declare Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial the new Túischac'h for the 56th Cosa.

Congratulations!

I noticed in the original thread I neglected to include the end date of July 21, 2021. I've updated it.
