I finally got around to a bit of template updating and used your changes as a base as you suggested lo those many weeks ago:-) It appears that I am not alone in my dislike of the mass change. At least according to the talk page of the template project, many users are sticking with the old templates. Accordingly, I decided to keep the old and add the new.--Fuhghettaboutit 04:43, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I like most of the new templates. The only thing I dislike is there isn't a good {uw} equivalent to {nn-warn}, which I think is a lot more informative than the {uw-creation} tags to help people understand why their band can't be on Wikipedia. So I use the {uw} tags, but I'm still using {nn-warn} for the first-level warning on vanity pages.-FisherQueen (Talk) 12:30, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
This highlights another problem. As far as I can tell there is no chart anywhere showing exactly which new templates [purport to] replace which old templates and which are retained unchanged. I think that all of the csd specific talk page warnings have been kept and there aren't supposed to be replacements. Certainly there are no new templates for that entire class (nn-warn, empty-warn, spam-warn, etc.) all of which are still linked as the suggested warning template at the bottom of their corresponding csd tags. To illustrate, look at the bottom of {{db-bio}} which suggests nn-warn.--Fuhghettaboutit 14:29, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
While there's no direct parallele to nn-warn, I have been using uw-spam1 and uw-delete1 for spamming and blanking, and they seem to fit pretty neatly into the scheme. I do think the new uw warnings layer more neatly than the old ones, I appreciate that there are four reasonably parallel warnings levels for the various offenses, and I like the little graphic, which I think is useful for the warner and the warned. I have to admit that, while they've taken some getting used to, I do like them better. Maybe I'll spend some time creating the nn-warn tier myself and propose it be added... -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Well I think that the whole scheme should have been done in a different way. The existing templates should have been proposed to be modified (some of them are the same exact language with an icon added) and then moved after consensus was reached, thus preserving the edit histories. That would have avoided a ot of controversy and given some respect to the creators of the templates. Though I see no reason to change any of those templates, let's preserve the edit histories if this is necessary at all. Personally, even if the templates are better, under this organization, I think having to type uw- for each one is an incredible waste of time; incremental yes, but hundreds of hours lost if you think about it on a macroscopic scale of all users over time.--Fuhghettaboutit 11:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
The uw is quite irritating, there I will agree with you. Possibly there was a better way to bring standardization to the existing templates rather than recreating the whole scheme... I'm just glad that the old ones are still live, so those who want to can continue using them. The important thing is that we're all keeping vandals and vanity-publishers appropriately warned... would I be in trouble if I invented and used my own private system? -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
No, That would be great! You would be feted amd worshipped as an Emersonian-Nietzschean uber-self-reliance guru template god (I'm feeling a it punchy this morning; leaving for work now, move along, nothing to see here).--Fuhghettaboutit 12:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I have removed your speedy tag on this article, since it doesn't seem to me to be anything more than a garden-variety stub. I don't see the advertising content here. If you feel the article shouldn't exist, I would recommend you consider proposed deletion or Articles for Deletion instead. (ESkog)(Talk) 14:51, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I can understand your reasoning. It was part of a group of three or four stubs promoting a single business, and this was the best of them- I'll send it on to AfD. -FisherQueen (Talk) 15:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. Don't mean to step on your toes. I was tagging with db-copyvio at the same time you were tagging with copyvio. Is there an assertion of permission I missed?--Fuhghettaboutit 18:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Trying to figure this out...

edit

First time using Wikipedia for anything other than learning something new, but I was browsing around and came across your profile FisherQueen.. Feel like I know you from somewhere, but I really don't know how to directly email you and see if I am right, either way, this area of Wikipedia is far too confusing.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fastaire33 (talkcontribs) 19:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC).

There's an "Email this user" link in the toolbox to the left of the page... I don't know whether you know me or not, though. -FisherQueen (Talk) 19:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Just ask me the next time you see me in person, then, or email me at my personal address that you already know, if you know me. -FisherQueen (Talk) 19:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks for expanding this page. --Alynna 15:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing. I don't think I'm quite finished with it yet, but I do think that it's looking a bit stronger. -FisherQueen (Talk) 15:04, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks also for updating. I added some info, thanks for adding more and clearing up what I did. I have pleanty of RMN related pictures, especially from GC2004 (I am on the board of directors) that I took and have the right to use, but I don't know how to add them. Can we put up the RMN logo? I also just made some minor edits. Nothing major. --R0bbiegill 19:27, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Fantastic! Instructions on how to upload images is at Wikipedia:Uploading images. It's not quite as complicated as it looks... sort of. You just need to make sure that you use the tags provided to make it clear that you have the right to give Wikipedia permission to use and distribute the image. I think. I've messed up in adding images often enough to feel like it's wiser to just point you toward the relevant instructions and wish you luck. If you can get one or two pictures uploaded that capture the spirit of RMN, I'd be happy to help add them to the article. I don't think there's any problem with using the logo; it seems like it would be appropriate to add.
On a personal note, since I've got a Board of Directors person right here- thanks. The Reconciling Ministries saved either my faith or my sanity... I don't know which way it would have gone, but being part of a reconciling church transformed my life. I'm sure you hear that all the time, but I'm going to say it again anyway. -FisherQueen (Talk) 19:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I understand most of this message. The editor seems a bit confused about my gender. What really puzzles me is the reference to 'manbags.' I have no idea what this is. Whatever it is, there doesn't seem to be an article about it. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Scrota, perhaps? --Orange Mike 20:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Don't men just have one of those? I guess the plural indicates more than one man... but there's a singular noun form for 'cock.' And also 'boobies.' I'm trying to imagine what kind of person I could be involved with that has boobies, a cock, and multiple scroti... and it just isn't working for me. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:28, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh give over FisherQueen, no-one wants to hear your attempted witty comments trying to suck up to administrators and all that crap. All you ever do is try to act cool infront of them.

Blocked

edit

Fisherqueen, I am puzzled as to why I have been blocked after warning me that my last change was bias. The warning stated that I would be blocked if I continued to re-post the information, I did not. Instead I contacted you after reading your Neutral point of view policy and offered to re-word my post. This seems a little harsh, after all I've never shown any malice to you or this site. Bravedave 00:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'm not FQ but in the interest of getting you a quick answer I'll try to field this one. I checked the block log and don't see that you've been blocked. All I see are a couple of warnings to your talk page, but no official action taken. I'll copy this to your talk page so that you see it. Philippe 02:57, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm going to go with Philippe on this one; I don't see anything in your block log. I'd like to point out that I'm not an admin, so I don't have the power to block you. If you get blocked, it'll be someone else who does it. If you were blocked, you would not have been able to post this message on my talk page. -FisherQueen (Talk) 10:18, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism on bacon

edit

In regards to your edit summary, I think the article is vandalized because Bacon is a "funny" word. The cultural commons (and I mean the commons) is littered with phrases like your "everybody loves bacon". It's an easy punchline, and an obvious target for juvenile humor. --Eyrian 20:09, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. I cannot see any reason why information about a private server is helpful or informative in an encyclopedia meant to inform a general audience. Nor can I see any reasonable way that this information can be attributed to a reliable source. If you are aware of a Wikipedia guideline that would support adding this detail to the article, I hope you'll bring it to my attention. If not, please stop adding it. -FisherQueen (Talk) 10:25, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok ok, I have been informed that I should keep that information to myself. But it would have been useful to post it here for people that didn't know about it if I hadn't been told to keep my mouth shut. Like I said, sometimes Cascade does make exceptions and lets decent people onto his "Private Server". And whoever said it wasn't a reliable source? Seems like you just don't know anything about it. You madam, have just been owned. :P -Plasmastar —Preceding unsigned comment added by Plasmastar (talkcontribs)

A reliable source is something published independent from anyone associated with the game. Have any newspapers, magazines, or online reviews of the game discussed this server? In addition, while comments like "you have just been owned" and "you just don't know anything about it" are appropriate in some places, they are not considered civil in Wikipedia, where we try hard to stay polite. You can sign any post by adding four tildes- that's the little ~ squiggly thing. -FisherQueen (Talk) 00:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Image

edit

Hi FisherQueen!

Very good question. I've had a brief poke about, and you're right, nobody states ownership or gives a source for the photograph. My best guess is that it comes from a book on the subject - there's one mentioned on the stated source for the image.

Whilst the image might be old enough to be copyright-expired, I'll lay money that the hand-colouring is modern and thus the image is a derivative; if so, that renews the copyright (in favour of the person who created the derivative). So, the original image: I'd be pretty sure we could use it; this version: I'd be pretty sure we'd not be able to.

An option of course is to go to Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission - somewhere off that page there's a nice template letter you can send to request permission under a free license from the webmaster of one of the sites. That'd solve all problems... although if the image comes from a book, I don't know how much that permission would be worth.

Sorry I can't be more definite here!   REDVERS  SЯEVDEЯ  13:08, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I guess it's off to the library for me, to find the book that uses the image and gives more information about its origins- or I can see if the webmaster at Grand Guignol Online knows more about it. Thanks for your advice. -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:10, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

My Outrageous Editing

edit

My editing was quit justly, but since there is no proof that certain teachers or events exist. i cannot add to the MSHS site. time for a bit of a lecture mate. Lets start with sources, talk about reliable sources for instance. how can sources be reliable? or maybe how sources, are sources? usually sources are based on eye witnesses. most courts, decide if a man was a murderer if there was an eye witness to the situation if they recount everything perfectly to coicide with all of events the suspected was jailed or put to death row. Hence can we say that eye witness is a reliable source??? has to be doesnt it becuase that reliable source did have the a man put in jail or death. as an eye witness to many of the events that happens in MSHS, people, well courts, can deem me as an eye witness to situation. the funraiser that was mentioned by me. has two eye witnesses. fisher referback to history, a user named timmyboy he mentiones the same funraiser. U said the comments of the fun raiser my defame the image of the school, if i typed in Hitler into wiki pedia or even look it up on a liabry emcyclopedia they mention him killing alot of innocent people to do the wrong thing. "one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter" but isnt encyclopedia's ment to be neutral??? some comments i over exaggerate but they again there are some which are true events becuase i was an eye witness —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thiskid4 (talkcontribs) 13:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

Have you read the reliable sources guidelines? They answer many of your questions, and explain what we consider to be a reliable source- an independent publication, with standards of fact-checking. Wikipedia doesn't accept the reports of eyewitnesses, because we aren't a forum for original research. We require that information be of a sort that other readers can check for themselves and verify accuracy for. That helps us keep the encyclopedia clear of false information. -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
wait there were two eye witnesses to the account of the problems. of the funraiser —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thiskid4 (talkcontribs) 08:17, 14 April 2007 (UTC).
I refer you to the third sentence in my reply above. Wikipedia doesn't accept the reports of eyewitnesses, because we aren't a forum for original research. People posting anonymously on the internet sometimes lie, misinterpret the facts, misunderstand what they saw... we require our information to come from reliable, published sources. This encyclopedia article explains what this school is and why it is significant, and we're planning for it to still be here in a hundred years. A hundred years from now, will it still be important that the school once held a fundraiser that a few students thought wasn't fair? -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
of course this is a major event in the school's history. i would know you don't —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thiskid4 (talkcontribs)
Which leads me to give the same answer that I have given at least three times already. If it's a major event in the school's history, all you need to do is verify that using reliable sources. If you can't verify the facts with reliable sources, then they aren't appropriate for Wikipedia. If not even the local newspaper reported on it, then it's probably not a major event in the school's history. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

It's okay if you win--it'll force me to do some focused work here. And thanks for the update!

And I'm back! I was supposed to be back home last night, but got stuck in Newark for 26 hours. I've also contracted some horrible French cold which will probably turn out to be bird flu or something, so I'm not sure that I'll be back to editing for another few days. Ugh.

Omihalcon

edit

Sorry to ask, why my entry of the metal Omihalcon for the fiction Spriggan was removed? Wow168 05:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Was it related to a novel? The entry didn't make that clear at all- it had no details, no sources, and I couldn't even figure out what it was talking about. I googled the term and didn't find any references to the word except as an alternate spelling for this historic/mythical metal, so I redirected it there. If it's more notable from this work of fiction, you'll need a sourced article that makes that significance clear. -FisherQueen (Talk) 10:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply to my Talk page. I have gotten consistently inconsistent replies about the concept of external links. Can you provide me a specific citation in the Wikipedia guidelines which addresses linking specifically to forums. I have had others say the quality of the link and its depth of information is the most important aspect of external linking, and that there were no specific guidelines pro or con regarding forum linking. Further, as the links were a part of the legacy of the article for nearly a year, and that collectively these sites contain more relevant, updated (the GLAAD site for example hasn't been updated in many, many months) and ongoing information, I'm not sure that the dis-inclusion of these resources is appropriate if one judges the value of the information found therein. Thanks!

If I've gone against a consensus that you reached on the talk page, I apologize- I was going with the usual interpretation of WP:RS and assumed you were a drive-by spamlinker. If y'all have already decided on these links on the talk page of the article, then I'll leave them alone. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
In this case I don't think a consensus matters. WP:EL Links to be avoided #10 is pretty clearly against forum links unless there is a very compelling reason to ignore the guideline.--Isotope23 17:13, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, I'm pretty sure he didn't have consensus to add forum links- just wanted to encourage him to go to the talk page rather than to me. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

IndieRobLB 17:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC) Thanks for helping me out. I'm not too sure why it got deleted - I thought it was something I did to begin with... I wanted to added a Wikipedia article as I feel this band is getting a lot of exposure at the moment and it would be a source of information if there was a Wikipedia Article on them too... I'm not sure if that's right though

I don't really understand the process. I think you may have done the human race a disservice by your actions.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mlbphd (talkcontribs)

FQ's always been a bit of an overachiever. I've only been able to disservice individuals or small towns, but never the entire Human Race. That aside, she did leave (on your talk page) instructions about how to discuss it, using the {{hangon}} tags. There is also Deletion Review if you think she's just way out in left field, but I gotta tell you - her call on that one is gonna stand, and at least one administrator (the deleting admin) agrees with her. Philippe 17:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
The process:
  • I tagged your article for deletion, because it didn't assert notability per WP:WEB.
  • You placed the hangon tag, and explained a little more about the web site, but you didn't explain how it was notable per WP:WEB.
  • An administrator looked at the article, looked at your comments on the talk page, and decided that the article didn't make it clear how the subject was notable per WP:WEB. The administrator then deleted the article.
  • If the subject really does meet WP:WEB, you can present your evidence and sources at Deletion Review, and the community will decide whether the article should be undeleted. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
I also left a note at User talk:Mlbphd‎. I have to agree with Philippe that doing a disservice to the entire human race is quite impressive. Leebo T/C 17:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you, thank you, thank you all. I never thought I'd have this much effect on the whole human race. I guess it's true that the tiniest actions, like deleting an article about a non-notable web page, can truly have consequences we do not foresee. I'm feeling especially guilty about the orphans of Calcutta, who have it hard enough without my doing them a further disservice. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:45, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I learned a thing! I followed my own link, and discovered that, although I've always associated Calcutta with its worst slums, there's a whole city there, much of which is not slum... I won't use the word as a synonym for squalor again. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, I think this whole thread makes up for the lame-a$$ vandalism on your user page. Since you 1) disserved the entire human race and 2) learned a thing, I think you're officially queen of the vandal-thwackers again, Burundi not-withstanding. Philippe 19:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
And there is today's vandal, who blamed me for both the World Trade Center attacks and the Virginia Tech shooting, who completely makes up for the inadequacy of the previous vandal. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
At least he's creative. You gotta get a better quality of friends. Philippe 20:59, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm a vandal

Vandalism level one warning removed by me

Can't win for losing. In that one, you removed the darned vandalism and got blamed for it anywayz. Philippe 20:59, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Ooops!! Please disregard that comment, my apologies! Literacola 21:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem- I was doing the same thing when I was using VandalProof. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for being so understanding. :) This is my first day using it and I must say, it's kind of confusing. So sorry! Literacola 21:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
FQ, I think you're probably gonna want to remove that - I'm pretty sure that VP reads talk pages (for the warn levels) and if it sees a warn, it lists it on the interface; so taking it off keeps you clear on the interface. Literacola, I agree - it's a little tricky in the beginning.  :-) Philippe 21:07, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Aw, do I have to? I think it's cute... my first vandalism warning...-FisherQueen (Talk) 21:08, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Far be it from me to take your fun away. Leave it up. Let 'em think you've gone rouge. Philippe 21:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Now, if I could just figure out how to delete the main page... -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
That's just what I was going to say, Philippe. It had her on my [insert ominous music here] blacklist. Literacola 21:11, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
P.S. .....and don't make me come back here again!
If you keep FQ on your blacklist, you're going to be seeing a LOT of red on your recent changes boxes. She's active. Merciless, some might say. Philippe 21:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
All right, all right, I'm taking it down. I wouldn't want to be on Literacola's (insert irritatingly cheerful music here) blacklist. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Yep, up there at the top it says you have no vandalism warnings now. Philippe 21:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Your recentl vandalism to the page "Odiham" is unacceptable and will be changed immediatly.--Farmboy999 09:26, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I see your change was changed back immediately by another editor. Maybe, instead of trying to add so much false information to that article, you could try to improve it and make it more accurate? -FisherQueen (Talk) 14:33, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Brutal Attack

edit

The original contributor has removed your {{prod}} tag from Brutal Attack (as WP:PROD allows him to do). So if it's to be deleted it would have to go through AfD (its assertion of notability is slight, but I think enough to avoid CSD). That said, some googling around does find some noteworthy mentions of it, so it's clearly not just some dude's garage band. Unfortunately most of the references are either from Stormfront type sites or Southern Poverty Law Center type ones (both more concerned with the band's politics than their music) so I don't know how we'll find reliable and neutral sources for this one. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 16:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. The article itself was so lacking in context that it was hard to tell if it was a noteworthy band or not... I'll send it on to AfD and see what the community has to say. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

IndieRobLB 17:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC) Thanks for helping me out. I'm not too sure why it got deleted - I thought it was something I did to begin with... I wanted to added a Wikipedia article as I feel this band is getting a lot of exposure at the moment and it would be a source of information if there was a Wikipedia Article on them too... I'm not sure if that's right though

replied on your talk page -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:10, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, The drummer used to be involved with the Undertones. I'm not anything to do with the band - just a fan!IndieRobLB 17:12, 22 April 2007 (UTC) I've included what I can find when Clacket Lane were at BBC Radio Kent from September... http://www.bbc.co.uk/kent/your_space/music/kents_unsigned_track_listing_feature.shtml IndieRobLB 17:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

That's cool; if they're a notable band after all, it won't be deleted. We get a lot of garage bands adding articles on here; I'm glad this isn't one of them. -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

No worries mate! First ever wikipedia article - Think I'm getting the hang of it now though :-) Thanks!81.179.238.200 20:52, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

She blanked the talk page to tell me this...

Now What BITCH!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by MegLee (talkcontribs)

I added some reviews to Jill D. Davis. --Eastmain 15:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

You added some reviews written BY Davis. Has anyone ever written anything ABOUT her? That is the kind of sources that are needed... writing ABOUT the subject. -FisherQueen (Talk) 15:29, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
None of these reviews were written BY Davis. Some of the reviews are unsigned, but they are all independent of her, as far as I can tell. Her name appears in the reference only because it was part of the title of the book review. --Eastmain 15:45, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Okay, so if they aren't by her, and they aren't about her... then they still don't assert notability. It's becoming pretty clear that this person doesn't meet WP:BIO. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:10, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
They are about her books, which I think should be sufficient. --Eastmain 17:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
But there's nothing here to establish notability about the books, much less the books' editor. Even if the books were notable, which nobody has asserted, that wouldn't make their editor inherently notable.--Orange Mike 17:49, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
I understand that you think that editing books makes her notable. Have you read Wikipedia's notability criteria yet? We use a very specific definition of the word, and this person doesn't seem to meet it. -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

You speedied this, understandably, but I think with a bit of cleanup it's not a speedy. To me (an American) it seems terribly old, and this alone might make it notable, but I don't know - maybe England is littered with Elizibethian foundations. I don't know if the article should be deleted or not but I think it deserves a full AfD at any rate. Herostratus 15:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Local in scope, no sources... but if it's that old, which I must have missed when I was tagging, then there might be something there- I'll look into it a little more. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
For starters, is it Seckford or Secford? The article swings wildly back and forth between the two spellings. And how about some cites?--Orange Mike 17:08, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

No barnstar for me then, sob, sob.

I'm sure I pressed Undo, though... :-(

microchip08 19:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Don't feel bad. I'm just faster than you. It's not your fault I'm the best.  :-) -FisherQueen (Talk) 19:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
I know I did, though... Boo hoo, hoo. There was me thinking I did something for once... :-(. I don't like you any more... microchip08 10:17, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

??? im not a vandal. --Hotflavas300 11:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

So is there a reason, other than that you are a vandal, that you are adding the {hoax} tag to the articles on arthritis? -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

This guy thinks the Sarah Michelle Geller picture should be naked. And photoshopped.

FUK U FISHERQUEEN WHYD U TAKE OFF MY GOOD PIC FOR U VANDAL! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sambrown18 (talkcontribs)

Please add new comments to the bottom, not the top, of my talk page. And don't forget to sign comments with four tildes. That's the ~ ~ squiggly thing. Also, you misspelled "fuck." -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:03, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

well y cant u leave it naked lol its better than the one thatsthere already u should be able to understand this!! though u might be gay because you have alot of thing about gay rights and shit like that on your page and i can spell proply numnuts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sambrown18 (talkcontribs)

You also misspelled "numbnuts." -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

where do u get off u wikinerd—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sambrown18 (talkcontribs)

You misspelled "you." -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:13, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
So what's wrong with the naked pic? Sure, it's not my cup of tea, but I see no reason that would be offensive to ANYONE, do you? I mean, besides Sarah Michelle Geller. And my mom. And most every other woman who might come online. And it's not like it'll expose us to potential lawsuits or anything will it? It's not like we have policies against it, you're just being autocratic. (Oh wait... we DO have policies? And it IS offensive? And it WILL expose us to lawsuits? Oh, for the love of God.) Philippe 15:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Happy snappy deleted on Commons. Sorry Sam. – Riana 15:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
My main objection to the picture is that I don't think it's an accurate picture of Geller; it appears to be her face photoshopped onto someone else's body. Pictures on Wikipedia should be accurate. I'm also amused with the vandal's complete failure to consider the possibility that I might be female. -FisherQueen (Talk) 15:39, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Females don't edit Wikipedia, females cook. Watchu talkin bout, Willis? – Riana 15:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
So wait... your username along with the lesbian userbox on your userpage, suggests that you may possibly be female? The mind boggles.--Isotope23 16:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes, that's why I was cracking up at the vandal, theorizing that I must be gay, since I didn't want to see Sarah Michelle Gellar naked. So close, so far away... (incidentally, she's a bit bony for my tastes, but that's kind of beside the point.) -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:30, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, at least I got my daily dose of delicious irony.  :)--Isotope23 16:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for tagging the banned users pages with DB. I think I have decided against this strategy and to just delete from the category itself. Thanks for your hard work, it is very much appreciated. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:40, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Why doesn't my page ever get vandalised? I edit enough controversial articles. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 14:34, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Deleting non-notable articles by high school students. That's how you get your vandalism score high. -FisherQueen (Talk) 14:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Do I know you?

you sound like my math teacher when i was in school. I wonder... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kinglou135 (talkcontribs) 21:20, 27 April 2007 (UTC).

I'm probably not your math teacher. But if I sound like her, she must have been very wise. And also probably extremely attractive. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:22, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
LOL! Sorry to butt in, but I'm compelled to comment on your response to the above "student". I followed you here from an article on my watchlist. I love your answer! :) Jeeny (talk) 22:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry!

edit

I apologize for adding some stupid comments to articles. I entered the site as a "reviewer", but someone paid me $50 to edit some articles with silly fake facts that are considered "vandalism".

I'm so sorry and it will never happen again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Review california64 (talkcontribs) 22:20, 27 April 2007 (UTC).

...and you "did the WTC". You must be tired.
Somewhere out in the vast internet is a message board where a couple of years ago it was being claimed that I was the "owner of Wikipedia" and the member of of the "Jew Media" after I voted to delete an article written by a member of a hate group. It still makes me laugh.--Isotope23 20:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

It isn't easy to cause that kind of mass destruction when you don't have an airplane. I had to take off my yarmulke and roll up my sleeves. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:39, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
