I'm sure they will be deleted per clear precedent established when we purged Wikipedia of those pesky homosexuals, who clearly did not want to collaborate, but were instead only interested in using this noble project for their sleazy sexual social networking purposes. Jeffpw (talk) 09:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC) I hate it when people are sleazy and sexual. *cough* (see above conversation) --AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 09:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC) Hmmmm. Both categories were closed by an admin as speedy keeps. Does this seem just the teensiest bit hypocritical to anyone? Jeffpw (talk) 10:46, 3 February 2008 (UTC) As far as American Wikipedians is concerned, it was up for deletion like 2 weeks ago and survived so that one was too soon for sure. Christian Wikipedians on the other hand.. well, who knew Armageddon would begin on Wikipedia as the gay angels and the xtian angels duked it out. O_o Seriously though, Jc37 makes a good point about all of the religion cats needing to be nominated, not just one. And so I will do such because I have been thinking this needed to be done a long time ago. No just because of the gay cats but because of the precedent and the collaboration issues. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 11:45, 3 February 2008 (UTC) I'm watching with interest to see what happens. While I always knew there were homophobes on Wikipedia, I was not sure about the claimed institutionalized homophobia. After today I need no more convincing. :-S Enjoy the Superbowl when it starts. We don't have it on tv here. Jeffpw (talk) 12:34, 3 February 2008 (UTC) There is a place on Earth where you can't get the Superbowl? Oy... That is terrible. Avruchtalk 16:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC) Nope. The Africa Cup is on ESPN, the English Premier League is on Sport 1, and ESPN has hockey. I'm actually not bothered, since the Chargers didn't make it all the way. I just count my blessings that we finally got the Oscar telecast. Last year was the first time we broadcast it here. Jeffpw (talk) 16:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC) What country do you live in?--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 16:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC) Holland. While we're very advanced when it comes to drugs, prostitution, gay rights and euthanasia, we're woefully behind the times with the things that really matter. :-( Jeffpw (talk) 16:42, 3 February 2008 (UTC) Ik wil Nederland bezoeken. --AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 16:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC) En wij willen je graag zien, APK! Maar wacht tot dat het weer beter wordt. Het is vreselijk koud op dit moment. Jeffpw (talk) 16:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC) Het is koud in Washington ook. --AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 17:03, 3 February 2008 (UTC) Giants Have you stopped woot woot'ing yet? ;-) Thanks for fixing the wikilink on the Navy Yard/Near Southeast article. Do you think there's enough mention about the gay presence that used to be in the area? I don't want to talk about it too much or else it won't look NPOV.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 11:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC) WOOOOOOOoooot! I've got a special love for the Giants since Eli Manning was also the QB at my alma mater, Ole Miss. On the article, I think it's enough. The only thing I see that will no doubt result in the info being removed eventually, is that there aren't any sources especially for the line which was one of the largest clubs between New York City and Atlanta, Georgia. since that's a pretty bold, fact based statement. ;] - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 11:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC) True, although it was the case. I don't have a source for it, so I'll remove it. But there were at least 2-3,000 people there every weekend...and up to 5,000 on special event nights. Where's the hot guy in the corner? I don't see him. Lemme go slip a lil something in his drink.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 11:35, 4 February 2008 (UTC) p.s. click the 'something' link and note the vandalism. I'm on it like APK on dick. lol I take it you haven't found the preview script to install on your Wikipedia to where you don't have to click links but can preview via an auto popup? See Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 11:43, 4 February 2008 (UTC) How do I register the pix at the bottom of the Southeast page? I've spoken to the woman who took the pix (she created the www.jdland.com i reference in the article) and she told me I have permission to use them...plus her website states it's ok to use them. When I click on the pix, it says they'll be deleted in one week. That's not good.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 11:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC) I've fixed them. When you uploaded them, you didn't choose a license. No license, no keepy. Also you'll notice in the summary I provided the link to where the web site gives permission. On the Southeast article itself, I added the attribution to the photos because the woman says on her web site's permission page that people can use the photos as long as they are non-profit (which Wikipedia is) and a link back. So I did that. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 12:06, 4 February 2008 (UTC) Gracias. I owe you one. (replace one with whatever floats your boat)--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 12:09, 4 February 2008 (UTC) The creator of the website, Jacqueline, e-mailed me this morning. She said: Looks like you did a lot of work! Nicely done. A few quick things: 1. I shouldn't get credit for the Half Street Rendering, nor can I give the rights for it to be used. You'd need to contact Monument Realty (http://www.halfstreet.com). 2. You'll probably want to remove the anticipated start/completion dates for both Canal Park and Diamond Teague Park, as I'll be removing them from my own pages. There's been no movement on either of them, and Spring 2008 is just moments away. 3. I'd prefer that the reference link under the two photos not be to the photo-use.cfm page, which seems kinda tacky. I'd link to the page the photos actually appear on: http://www.jdland.com/dc/photobrowse.cfm?int=southcapitolfreeway&toward=25 There might be more, but I can't get into maintaining that page, too. :-) --jd I'll change it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AgnosticPreachersKid (talk • contribs) 14:34, 4 February 2008 (UTC) On the Half Street rendering, I wouldn't bother messing with the image page itself. Just remove the photo credit from it in the actual Southeast article and then leave it alone. haha *wink wink* ;] - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 14:39, 4 February 2008 (UTC) Suck it Sinebot.AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 14:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC) Proposal: User categories You may be interested in participating in the discussion at User talk:Hyacinth/User categories#Proposal. Hyacinth (talk) 00:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC) Sorry... Did not know that he was copyvio... --BetoCG (talk) 02:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC) user page When I looked at your user page and saw "cock" written over and over again, I thought maybe you were trying a bold, new approach to social networking. Alas, vandals had struck again.AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 14:09, 5 February 2008 (UTC) At least they associate me with my fav-o-rite of mouth utensils. ;] Thanks for fixing it. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 14:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC) Authors blanking own pages Hi - a word of advice: when a page is blanked it's usually vandalism and reverting is the right thing to do; but it's best to look first at the history because sometimes, as with ADVA Optical Networking just now, the author has blanked his own page. (He'd written an advertising piece; I'd explained to him that WP isn't for ads.) In that case, the thing to do is to add {{db-author}}, which asks for a speedy G7 "author requests deletion or has blanked the page". Apologies if I'm telling you things you know already! Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:16, 5 February 2008 (UTC) My Vandalism Thanks for reverting my junk so fast, sometimes I could'nt even get a second look at them! Keep up the good work, man!--69.94.168.37 (talk) 15:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC) Bear (gay slang)  Done Satyr, Benji, Jeff, PreachersKid.. whoever comes by and sees this.. Please revert the redirect vandalism by 76.26.107.4 on this article. Thanks. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 21:46, 5 February 2008 (UTC) Benji beat me to it.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 21:54, 5 February 2008 (UTC) haha I see. Thanks Benji. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 21:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC) (sigh) So much vandalism and weird stuff like that I didn't even remember doing it until I looked through the history. Benjiboi 23:00, 5 February 2008 (UTC) On a lighter note I want you to watch the video found at the top of my user page. After watching it, I felt a heavenly annointing throughout my body, and my body expelled all of the demons that had been building up since lunch. For those of you that might read this after I change it (I have a new video everyday), here's the link. [1] AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 22:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC) Ha! Benjiboi 23:03, 5 February 2008 (UTC) Well add this one tomorrow (NSFW). And alright for the IP vandalism driveby. Me thinks it's the sock of whomever sent Jimbo here in the first place. I looked at the IP's contribs and nothing that IP has edited have I been involved in. Unfortunately I can't request a checkuser without knowing who the user was, or a suspected user name, that sent Jimbo here. It's obvious the IP was trying to bait me, probably mad that my block was reduced to 24 hours. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 23:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC) As soon as I clicked the link, I hit the back button. I watched the 2 girls 1 cup & 4 girls fingerpaint videos, but I've heard about that one and APK can't stomach it. I love watching the reaction clips on youtube though.AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC) Argh there should be a rule against links to pain olympics videos. I didn't look this time, but when I watched it before... I could tell that at least part of the 'pain' intended by the title is mine for watching. 2girls1cup is gross, but nowhere near the same level. Avruchtalk 23:51, 5 February 2008 (UTC) Two of my fav reaction videos: (2 girls 1 cup)[2] & (4 girls fingerpaint)[3] AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:59, 5 February 2008 (UTC) I almost forgot the best one.[4]AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 00:05, 6 February 2008 (UTC) Umm, sick. I had never heard of 2 Girls 1 Cup until y'all mentioned it. So I went searching. Sick sick sick. Bleh! - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 00:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC) The other one is worse.AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 00:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC) All the nastiness is hosted on the same server. www.hai2u.com, www.blink-182.com, www.lemonparty.com... Goatse is on there as well, that probably isn't even all of them. Avruchtalk —Preceding comment was added at 00:25, 6 February 2008 (UTC) haha I knew about goatse. Unfortunately, I've encountered an organ like that once. He was made to leave quickly. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 08:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC) Rankin County template map Just wanted to let you know why I've changed the map on {{Rankin County, Mississippi}}: this is the standard map, found on virtually all (if not all) county templates using the standard US county navigation box, including all other Mississippi county templates. Of course, the size is an issue; I've fixed that. Nyttend (talk) 22:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC) Thanks. I can definitely see it now although it doesn't really need to be that big. Didn't realize there was a policy regarding which images to use but I've no problem with the ugly black and white one since it can at least be seen now. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 00:17, 7 February 2008 (UTC) Gracias for the vandalism revert.AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 01:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC) Just returning the favor. :] - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 01:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC) Hope to see you around I'm going to be publishing my essays at Wikimedia and I will be using Wikipedia in order to help Veropedia. That's all. Don't expect me to "collaborate" with the Wikipedia machine. Also, an important message I just posted that's of critical importance to all Wikipedians: Whistleblower: Wikimedia has been squandering your donations. ☯  Zenwhat (talk) 07:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC) Barnstar Order of the Flaming Hellpot I saw that and thought I'd share these incidents with ya. Pretty funny stuff. Wales was a major cock for that move. --Endless Dan 19:17, 8 February 2008 (UTC) lol Thanks for the Flaming Hellpot. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 20:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC) final warning on Jay Brannan topics This article has had serious BLP issues and is an OTRS case. Your behavior in the last day or so regarding it and the RFD has exceeded reasonable bounds for discussion and participation in BLP issue debates. Tone it down. Back off. You can hold any opinion on the article, article subject, whether it should be deleted that you want to, and you're free to express that in a polite and civil manner. Disruptive edits and activities will result in a short block on your account. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 23:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC) Excuse me? Exactly what are you referring to?? The AfD was just listed today. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 23:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC) Where in the world did this come from? George, perhaps you could be a bit more specific? I haven't seen any activities from ASE that could be considered disruptive in any way. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 23:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC) I'm just as confused as you are but see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#NPA. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 00:01, 9 February 2008 (UTC) I'm thoroughly amazed at you ability to hack people off. =D -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 01:01, 9 February 2008 (UTC) I'm thoroughly amazed at my ability to hack people off too.. especially when it happens and I don't even know it or it wasn't even remotely close to my intention. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 01:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC) Philip Brady (broadcaster) Phil's homosexuality was cited three times. ?????149.254.192.195 (talk) 23:32, 8 February 2008 (UTC) You keep adding "he's a homosexual" along with sources that do not even mention the guy. You've been reverted and warned by several people, including myself. Stop adding the content. It appears to be vandalism. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 23:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC) IP has been blocked. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 23:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC) FYI - Userpage banner Just FYI - there is a gray banner with your sig at the top of the page that obscures the skin links, at least using Modern. Avruchtalk 23:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC) Thanks. Is it causing any user-bility issues? I use monobook so I'm not seeing it. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 23:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC) Opinion Valued: ACS userpage (apologies to User:VigilancePrime for copying his template) IAW Wikipedia:Canvassing, the following Friendly Notice is a "Neutrally worded notifications sent to a small number of editors." You may be interested in a current DRV discussion. This message is to inform you of the discussion. There is no attempt to indicate on which side of the issue you may or should "vote" or comment. Recently, the page User:Tlatosmd/Adult-child sex was nominated for speedy deletion by SqueakBox (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). When that speedy was undone, the user Guy brought the page to MfD and won by arguments referring to a different piece, a mainspace article of the same name. Thus, there has now been a DRV opened. Based on your past edits and comments, you may have reason to comment or contribute to this DRV discussion. Please do. If this message is in error and you do not have an interest in such a case, please forgive the intrusion and bother. Best wishes and happy editing! --TlatoSMD (talk) 08:30, 9 February 2008 (UTC) Brannan Hey, Hon! No need to canvas about Brannan - most of us that are interested have the page watchlisted, and the note on WT:LGBT is enough for those who don't :) Thanks!! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 21:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC) Wasn't canvassing.. was informing people who have participated on the article's talk page, which is what the nom should have done. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 21:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC) Hm - sorry! Guess my watchlist includes all those people, so it seemed just about the same thing :) -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 21:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC) Per Wikipedia:Canvassing, I am definitely now convinced I was not canvassing. They were friendly notices, neutrally worded, to a few editors who substantively edited or discussed the article. They were not excessive cross-posting, campaigning, votestacking (since I also notified users who have taken opposite opinions of my own) or stealth canvassing. As far as I'm concerned for Guy and George and anyone else, this matter is closed. And thanks to another editor below for pointing out Wikipedia:Canvassing to me in his unrelated post - which was ironically removed from my talk page by Guy.. but I've since restored. Happy editing! :) - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 16:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC) Warrior (wrestler) You can't have it both ways. If I can't defend Warrior on the talk page, then others can't bash him on the talk page. The talk page is about making improvements to the article, not stating personal opinions about Mr. Warrior. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.242.152 (talk) 22:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC) Do not remove other users comments from talk pages. Have a good day. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 22:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC) Leather Pride flag Hey you guys are defrauding my page. I created the Leather Pride Flag. I need you to leave the page page alone —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.161.189.155 (talk) 23:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC) Firstly, your edits are pure vandalism. Secondly, no one "owns" any article on Wikipedia. See WP:OWN. Finally, stop putting email addressed in articles. Thanks. Have a good day. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 23:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC) Template:Oldprodfull Hello, Allstarecho ... please BACK OFF on the claims of vandalism when editing this template (which I created, BTW) from an anon-IP account ... I can't test it properly unless I make changes as an anon, and don't feel like switching back and forth in a single edit session ... look at Template Talk:Oldprodfull ... does that IP address on ALL of the signatures look familiar? ... I mean, what's the point of the {{User Alternate Acct}} template if editors ignore it??? Happy Editing! — The Bipolar Anon-IP Gnome (talk) 05:25, 10 February 2008 (UTC) Sorry. Huggle doesn't go looking for matches of IP to Username on talk pages. I went and looked at the template manually and also saw another user reverted it as vandalism as well. I took the que. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 05:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC) User talk:SAPrasanna I don't think User:SAPrasanna's edits were vandalism. Perhaps you could try less aggressive language? Corvus cornixtalk 06:12, 10 February 2008 (UTC) The aggressive language comes from the Huggle program, not me. Also you'll see I reverted myself and tagged the article db-g7 as the user blanked the page. Thanks. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 06:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC) You might like to try {{uw-speedy1}}; I'm sure huggle adds that option. If not, it's better to leave a hand written message in your browser; biting the newcomers can go badly and drive good contributors away. Just a thought. ;) The Evil Spartan (talk) 06:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC) I tagged it db-g7 which is the template for article creator blanking the page, using Huggle. The warnings on the user's page came from vandalism warnings, which I perceived as such since the user didn't heed the initial db-advertising tag that was placed on the article. I'll remove those warnings. Thanks. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 06:20, 10 February 2008 (UTC) Cool, thanks. Corvus cornixtalk 20:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC) Request for arbitration I am filing a request for arbitration which involves you. Please see Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#JzG. John254 02:02, 11 February 2008 (UTC) Declined block on UAA I'm declining your request to block User:World News International. Unless I'm missing something, he is a good faith user who has been building an article with other people, and the username issues you raised are tenuous (the username isn't being used to promote anything). Whatever is going on with that user and his name, I see jumping to an immediate block as the wrong approach. Have you tried asking him why he's called that? rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 05:10, 7 February 2008 (UTC) With all due respect, per username policy, that name is a violation of username policy because it's a miss-leading and promotional username. It suggests being used by a group, project or collective rather than an individual and it suggests a company name. Regardless of being a good faith user, the name violates policy. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 05:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC) Well, I've been discussing the policy, and revising it with consensus, for months now, so it surprises and saddens me to see it misinterpreted like that. Username blocks are there to protect Wikipedia from clearly unacceptable usernames, not to block users for the sake of upholding some rules. The parts of policy you're quoting require context. "Promotional" usernames are only promotional if they promote something. "Misleading" usernames only matter if they mislead you to something relevant. "Suggests being used by a group, project or collective" isn't in the policy at all, so I don't know where you got that from. And in a case of good faith, going straight to UAA is skipping important steps in the "Dealing with inappropriate usernames" section. Given that, do you still object? Is there a way that the policy needs to be clarified? rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 09:17, 7 February 2008 (UTC) Well, it's definitely mis-leading. When I see a name like that, I think some world-wide news agency, aka company, is on Wikipedia creating articles about gay porn actors. So in that aspect, my reasoning still stands. The policy description I recounted, comes from Twinkle's help section so maybe that issue needs to be dealt with, with Twinkle's owner. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 09:21, 7 February 2008 (UTC) I'm still wondering what part of WP:U gets you from "it makes me think some world-wide news company is writing about gay porn actors" to "we need to block the user now without discussion". If the name bothers you, since this is a legitimate user, your first step is to talk to them. Meanwhile, it's important to know that Twinkle is a tool written largely by one person, it doesn't define policy in itself, and that when you use it you have to be familiar with the relevant policies. But AzaToth is currently trying to reconcile Twinkle with policy on username issues, and this could be useful information: do you have a wiki-link to the incorrect text? rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 09:29, 7 February 2008 (UTC) I wasn't advocating the user be blocked, just that name. Twinkle has that option to report usernames for all kinds of reasons without specifying that by doing so, you're essentially saying the user is bad and should be banned. So I'll just drop the issue altogether. And no, there's no wikilink as it's part of the actual in script help. If you use Twinkle, you will see a tiny blue question mark next to the option you want to choose. When you hover your mouse over that blue question mark, it pops up text that lays out why you would choose that option. That is where it says, the name is a violation of username policy because it's a miss-leading and promotional username. It suggests being used by a group, project or collective rather than an individual and it suggests a company name. Again, that's an issue AzaToth will have to deal with. I just won't use that part of Twinkle anymore. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 09:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC) You're conflating "block" and "ban" -- one relevant thing is that you can't block a username without blocking the user, but most username blocks don't imply bans -- but I think I get the idea. Does Twinkle actually never say that the purpose of UAA is to request immediate blocks? This explains where a lot of frivolous Twinkle reports come from. (I don't know this because I don't use Twinkle myself; having encountered it mostly through username issues, I've gained quite an aversion to it.) rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 09:46, 7 February 2008 (UTC) No, as far as I have seen, Twinkle does not ever say that the purpose of UAA is to request immediate blocks. Granted, people with a little more experience than me would probably know the purpose of UAA. Apparently I did not. I do suggest you at least install Twinkle and take a look at the sections dealing with UAA so you'll have a better understanding of how the script works. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 09:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC) Your friend is now blocked. See User talk:World News International. - AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 01:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC) Ha. I guess it's just a matter of who is working UAA as to how policy is interpreted. Thanks for the notice. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 01:41, 12 February 2008 (UTC) Plus, of course, they made wonderful contributions to the encyclopedia. =D SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 02:15, 12 February 2008 (UTC) Yes, I did notice they had their own little off-wiki cabal going. /me starts the Gayass Cabal. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 02:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC) We were not amused. Aleta (Sing) 02:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC) Just a hobby Yes, it's just a hobby. That was one of two phrases in the misguided RFAR which I think strikes a chord. Is suspect we both sometimes take our hobby just a little too seriously, and as a result we can both stray over the line into what Mackensen described as "rhetorical exuberance". But for the record I don't think you are a bad person, quite the opposite. You share with me, I think, a tendency to become passionate about certain subjects, which is human nature. Anyway, I'm busy for the next couple of days and unlikely to get much time to say a lot, so I thought I'd drop you a note inviting you to a communal hatchet-burying. I don't see why we should be fighting, we're both obviously here for the good of the encyclopaedia. Final point: you took a beating on IRC? That's bad. Which channel, #wikipedia? Admittedly I never go there because it's altogether too rambunctious for me, but if there was a problem there it may be worth documenting it (and the participants) privately. I know Jimbo and others are watching IRC pretty closely at the moment due to chronic civility and attack issues. Guy (Help!) 09:45, 11 February 2008 (UTC) Agreed, hatchet is buried. I imagine part of this was not being able to interpret "emotions" in an online atmosphere.. no facial expressions or voice tone to go along with the text. At any rate, it's in the past. As for IRC, I'm not really inclined to document what goes on, on IRC. I respect the communal socialization that IRC gives as an alternative to "not MySpace" that Wikipedia takes away and am not going to ruin that for everyone, including myself. IRC is a place for me to get to know "you all", as in other users I come across here on my talk page and across Wikipedia, and enjoy some sort of social company while on vandal patrol. That's why I said at Arbcom that I wouldn't go into extended details about it. I know who the people are, they know who they are and I'll leave it at that. Thanks and have a great day! :) - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 16:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC) Oops Sorry about the edit to your user page by me, I've reverted it. I will leave it to you to remove yourself from the category since you're not an admin. ++Lar: t/c 21:01, 12 February 2008 (UTC) I've removed the category.

I am aware it's a humour category, and frankly I didn't have a problem with your previous categories that got deleted, but this can be a category that gives a false impression to editors, and I certainly don't want anybody else being blocked over it. Thanks, Black Kite 21:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC) AN/I discussion You aren't the primary topic of the discussion, but you should drop in at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Block of User:Equazcion; he was blocked over his insistent inclusion in Category:Rouge admins, which was removed from your user page as well. Your name was brought up in that discussion, and you should be aware of it before you re-add yourself to the category. Horologium (talk) 23:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC) Warrior (wrestler) What don't you get? It was okay for them to mention the TMZ article. However, it was INAPPROPRIATE to bash Warrior on a discussion page. The Warrior bashing MUST be taken out because it's unfair to people who support Mr. Warrior. 71.202.242.152 (talk) 07:48, 13 February 2008 (UTC) If you revert my changes again without proposing a compromise on the talk page, I will simply make the same changes again. 71.202.242.152 (talk) 07:52, 13 February 2008 (UTC) Talk pages are NOT for weasel words. They are about how to improve the article. 71.202.242.152 (talk) 07:52, 13 February 2008 (UTC) What don't you get? Let me spell it out for you: d-o n-o-t r-e-m-o-v-e o-t-h-e-r p-e-o-p-l-e-s c-o-m-m-e-n-t-s f-r-o-m a-r-t-i-c-l-e t-a-l-k p-a-g-e-s. I-t i-s a-g-a-i-n-s-t p-o-l-i-c-y. Understand now? You were blocked 24 hours for doing so and now you're right back at it? If you continue, I will take this matter on up the chain and request a community ban. Instead of removing other people's comments, why not contribute to the discussion? Good day! - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 08:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC) Hi Hello, I like your userpage! :) Hope to see more of your edits in the future! --Grrrlriot (talk) 23:54, 12 February 2008 (UTC) Hello and thank you! :) - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 08:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC) Your welcome! --Grrrlriot (talk) 16:48, 13 February 2008 (UTC) Deleted categories Sorry about that. You are right about not seeing the WP:ANI debate on this. Can you point me to it in the archives? They're a pain to search if you don't know the precise phrase to look for. I've tried various queries, with no luck so far. Thanks, Gwernol 18:41, 13 February 2008 (UTC) I was looking for it now to link you. When and if I find it, I will link you. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 18:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC) Cool, thanks, Gwernol 18:45, 13 February 2008 (UTC) Well that certainly explains why I couldn't find it at ANI :-) Thanks for taking the time to find it for me. I agree that there isn't a consensus here, so I won't remove the category again. Good luck, Gwernol 20:38, 13 February 2008 (UTC) Leather Pride flag Yes you are defrauding my page so please refrain from doing so. I will revert the text back and please lock the page so it can NOT be altered - Leatherarchives —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.161.189.155 (talk) 22:02, 13 February 2008 (UTC) I don't know how many times you have to be told you do not "own" the article. No one on Wikipedia owns any articles. Further, your continued vandalism of removing sources and replacing them with your own web site, is against policy. If you revert back, I will take this matter further up the chain. You've been blocked twice now for this vandalism. I will suggest a ban next. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 22:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC) LGBT :) Hey babe! Thanks for the notice! I got this name from a FAAABULOUS ex boyfriend I had in high school. He was the queer (my mom knew before me... go figure), and I was the bubble, but eventually he began to call me his Queerbubble.  ;) I will definately check out the project. Queerbubbles (talk) 22:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC) Userpage blanked and fixed Hey, there. Looks like some IP vandal hit your userpage...that's fine, I just reverted it. Still, might be a good idea to recheck your page just in case someone else slipped something in. Cheers, Sandy of the CSARs (talk) 01:47, 14 February 2008 (UTC) Fun times! lol Yeah, I'm on Vandal Patrol so I imagine several will me hit in the course of my patrol. Thanks for the reverts! :) - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 01:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC) Hi This is Becksguy, using Huggle on VP...... Great application. — Becksguy (talk) 02:35, 14 February 2008 (UTC) Welcome to Huggle! :] - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 07:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC) Chicken Hey, you sent me a message saying that my edit to Chicken (food) was nonconstructive. I believe you on that, but only because I couldn't edit the Chicken article to make it worse. See, read this page and you'll learn about what I was trying to do. If you don't have the time to, then I'll just roughly sum the site up: Wikipedia is awesome, but there's vandalism in a lot of places. If we just target all the vandalism towards the Chicken article, then all our problems will go away. I mean, people already know what chickens are. Well, you now have my personal opinion and I hope you will see the light.

I didn't see this problem before you did the mods. After the mods, the images as a whole now look lopsided on the right. What browser and operating system combination do you have that shows this problem? Can you get a screencapture of the mess in action? Frotz (talk) 06:30, 16 February 2008 (UTC) Others have complained about it as well. Here's the screencap: File:Muhimage.png I also get the same issue in IE. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 07:37, 16 February 2008 (UTC) Okay, I've gotten that to happen if I set the Firefox window to just the right width. I'll take this to the Wiki bugzilla. Frotz (talk) 19:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
