godmode crashing your browser

Hi, could you tell me what browser you are using? Only Mozilla derivatives such as Firefox have been thoroughly tested, but even then some versions seem to misbehave. Sam Hocevar 11:35, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm I proposed it on WP:Bite's talk page and already got a comment on it being a bad idea. Oh well, we'll see what other people think!! Thanks for the suggestion tho, id much rather not be making this on my own. Mike 19:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

You're pointing me to the article, while the questionable material was on the talk page. Okay, sure, I deleted the tag, but then the other admin put up the protected tag immediately afterwards. How can I possibly do anything with a protected tag?. So, in a sense, you're correct; but in the sense of putting up that comment, you are wrong in assuming that I deleted a tag. Tsk tsk. Off my case now, please; I've moved on, hope you do too. Have a nice trip. Thistheman 18:51, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Rahimi Boroujerdi

Hi, you left a message on User talk:Rahimiboroujerdi, the guy has reposted his autobiography here Alireza Rahimi Boroujerdi and obviously it's been AfDd again and tagged for speedy as repost (which I am reluctant to do having just voted in the AfD).

I'm a little concerned that there was no welcome message left and no reference to WP:AUTO. I'm a bit worried about the current tendency to [{WP:BITE|bite the newbies]], which is of course largely an artefact of the prevention of anon creation since previously these would have been aon pages and nobody would have cared about biting the IP address. Anyway, I just thought I'd voice my concern in an attempt to maybe gain a recruit to my one-man crusade to userfy instead of deleting trivial autobiographies ;-) Cheers, - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 15:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Originally, someone had put "DEREK IS A RACIST" all over the page. I can now see that it is repaired, however, at the time, the page was unsuitable for other viewers. I am sorry if I have caused trouble, but my intentions were to alert wikipedia about the article, and restore the page to it's original content. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rick 50000 (talk • contribs) 17:37, February 7, 2006 (UTC)

I was told that unless its vandalism...

I was free to do whatever I wanted with my userpage. If we arent allowed to delete things that we find offensive, Then why was I told by an administrator that it was okay for me to delete some of the extra stuff from my page, conversely I have had many of my comments deleted when someone did NOT agree with them. If it is the policy to not allow users to delet garbage from there own discussion page, it should be enforced equally. I plan on reverting the page back to how I enjoy it, unless youcan give me some reference to your reasoning. Thank you pickelbarrel 01:45, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

World of Warcraft

If it's a GLT-friendly guild, that obviously implies that it is friendlier to GLTs than to other players, otherwise such denomination would not have been necessary. And that IS discrimination. --Andrelvis 18:11, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I understand what you mean, however are the other guilds more friendly to heterossexuals? I must frankly say I don't know. I think sexual inclination just doesn't matter, does it? Well, it does because it is a roleplaying environment, and therefore people with homossexual inclinations might wish their characters to be so as well. In this, I agree. Actually, I agree completely with you, though I think that 'GLT-friendly' then wouldn't be the best term to be used, but I'm not going to discuss to change a term, since it's not important, what important is the essence of the meaning, not the superciality of a term. Regards, --Andrelvis 23:35, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Main Page

Re: "== FAC protection == Protecting the main page FAC is a horrible idea, IMO. It is policy to never protect anything on the main page. The reason is that we wish to encourage people to edit. When someone who is new comes here, the first thing that they will probably click on is the main page. If they find that they can't edit it, they will get put off from Wikis. There are people who are deveoted to vandal fighting. We have mulitple IRC channels wiht bots which report suspicious edits. Protecting the main page FAC is un-wiki and creates worse problems than you seem to think it solves. The main page FAC has multiple people watching it at any given times. There are other... which would be much harder to keep track of. —WAvegetarian^TALK_CONTRIBS^EMAIL 19:33, 22 February 2006 (UTC)"

I totally disagree. You are also incorrect about nothing being protected. The main page itself is protected, as is the image for the day's FA and the intro on the main page for the FA. Protecting the main page article IS A GREAT IDEA. For example, the believers in non-protection want people to see the daily FA. Now, this actually happened today...someone wiped out the FA of the day, replaced it with a close up of a human male penis, and you have some new person check out wiki and see this as an example of "wiki's best"...??? Say said person was 11 years old. What kind of signal does that send? Anyone seriously interested in the daily FA will come back to it and multiple people shouldn't be having to watch it in the first place and wasting time chasing vandals. There should also be a requirement for all users to have a verified email account; this would cut vandalism way, way down, as it'd be easier to track and stop them.

Sloth video

I noticed you contributed a photo of a sloth. I don't suppose you would happen to have or be able to obtain a video of a sloth moving do you that can be released under the GFDL or other suitable license? Having seen their movement myself on TV I think it would be quite a useful addition to the sloth article as one of their most unique features is clearly their movement speed but I suspect it's something that's difficult for many to appreciate if they haven't seen it. Videos are still rare on wikipedia but official policy states you should use Ogg/Theora [Wikipedia:Image_use_policy]. However, if you have some other format, I could probably convert it for you.

I'm dropping you this note because you recently edited either the Oberlin page or its talk page.

Word Freak (book)

Hello Conner. Pleased to meet you. I see you wrote the Word Freak article. (I just figured out how to use the history.) Are you a tourney Scrabble player? What's your ranking? Are you still under 18?

Good choice on backing Kerry, by the way! I got to meet Edwards on the campaign trail, and it was quite a treat. Sarah crane 21:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Heh, I recently broke up with a ditzy, SCRABBLE® playing vegan named Sarah. Strange. I see you're taken, however.

Oh wow, that's really weird! I hope she didn't give us Scrabbler-Sarahs a bad name. :) Did she do you wrong? If so, I'll have to find me long-lost-twin and have a word with her. ;)

I really meant to be a tourney player, but my life got very busy with preparing for college, finishing high school, being a full time residential summer camp counselor, and craziness my first year of college.

Yeah, life happens. That's okay. You don't really want to end up like GI Joel or Matt Graham, trust me. I got to meet Joel Sherman once. He was really nervous -- I think he's one of those guys who gets really nervous around girls. I was going to bat my eyelashes and flirt a little, since he's a celebrity after all, but I didn't want to make him even more uncomfortable.

There also haven't been, AFAIK, any tournaments near Oberlin recently.

You live in Oberlin? Oh cool! I'm in Cincinnati.

I will be playing in my first tournament soon (the one in Seattle the week after school lets out). I'm not sure how my rating will end up, but it won't be that high. My average is definitely still over 300, but I haven't had as much time this semester as I'd wanted to work on my game. I'm also not at all up to speed on the new word list.

Remember ILIA, INIA, and IXIA. Great vowel dumps. Saved my life many times. And with QI and KI, now you have to be extra careful not to play an I next to a triple-letter-score!

I did manage to organize folks and submit the paperwork for an official club at Oberlin College and look forward to intermural competition with the OSU club, which was recently featured on the front page of the SCRABBLE® News. I'm no longer under 18—birthday on July 4—so I'm going to work on getting the Oberlin club sanctioned.

My should-have-been-birthday is tomorrow. I technically won't turn 20 for another 2 weeks, but I was born late, so it'll be 20 years since my due date. I guess that counts for something! :)

I wasn't able to get my high school club sanctioned because Hasbro's legal folk want a legally responsible person to be there to blame/sue at every club. Oh well, c'est la vie. I'm very envious of your having gotten to meet Edwards. I'll console myself with being a family friend of "Baghdad Jim" McDermott. His brother and my dad have been best friends since college. —WAvegetarian•_{CONTRIBUTIONS}^TALK• ^EMAIL• 07:17, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Crossing the Red Line

Hi again. Have you read Crossing the Red Line from the New York Review of Books? I found the article in "The Best Science Writing of 2004", and it's amazing, and well-written. It's about climate change and peak oil and alternative fuels and all that. The author reviews 9 different books about the subjects, and distills them all very well.

Also the featured pic voters are EXTREMELY anal and almost every picture submitted for that status are declined (just take a look at the nomination page). I thought it was worth a shot though, and if it brings more attention to expanding/improving the article, or getting people to contribute more pictures to the article it would be a great success!

Argument time!

YOU said THIS to ME:

"We strive for a neutral point of view in Wikipedia. We also have a policy of verifiability. I think you will have a hard time finding a source which proves that the Klan is inherently evil. I also know that your statement was factually incorrect as not all Klan members are murderers, just as not all White, Black, Muslim, or Christian people are murderers. I think the actions and recorded opinions of the Klan speak clearly enough for themselves. You don't need to embellish the article with your own hatred. —WAvegetarian•CONTRIBUTIONSTALK• EMAIL• 02:34, 23 April 2006 (UTC)"

I think that you are too closed minded. You say that "not all klan members etc.". I meant the Klan as a whole. Fine, if you don;t want the first sentence to say what I put. Put it about 1/3 of the way down or so, that's a fair compromise. I'll check back soon for this change, and I'm glad we were able to reach an agreement :) !—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.162.64.194 (talk • contribs) 02:52, April 23, 2006 (UTC)

I am new to this wikipedia and this english language, but my words don't speak loudly? THey are typed what do I need to do, use capitals or some such device? more exclamation points? ALso I suggest we launch a website together with the objective being to create such a consenseus as you speak of. We can call it agreement.com or kkkisevil.com or maybe kkk.com if it isn't taken. I must be bringing up the point of view that if we make a consensus of users of the wikipedia then we are more or less limiting the vote on what can and can't be put to a certain group of people. Is this not why your Americans came to America at first? So all people could speak? I think maybe we should put in that the KKK is evil and see what problems people have with it, if there are any problems. Maybe just leave it there for a week or so. I will agree to your claims, you can put it 1/3 of the way down the page again if you think that it is being wise.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.162.64.194 (talk • contribs) 03:14, April 23, 2006 (UTC)

You see I am researching gays and their discrimination, and I am using this as one of my sites. I just thought perhaps I would add this fact about Pikachu because gayness is often associated with the cartoon creature. I put gay in quotes when I was doing this typing the reason being is that I didn;t want to be subjective. The reason I talk about the KKK is that I just find it to be wrong. I think that I am perhaps being unfairly judged for when I get up I have knowledge that a friend of mine ( i use the term lightly) has been altering the page of John Tesh the musician and perhaps this is reflecting poorly on me? GOing back to my topic I think that we can create a consensus on pikachu being related to 'gays' it is a common agreement. ?Signed? user Cordava.

Now I am told: You misunderstand. Votes themself do no matter, it's the reasoning why you voted a particular way. Your opinions and the opinions of other editors are what provide concensus. This is not a democracy, and yes obviously prejudicial votes will not be counted. You are not wrong about the Klan as a whole having an evil connotation but that is informative, not encyclopedic. There is a difference. I also understand that language issues may cause you to misunderstand WAvegetarian's approach, the user is being very civil and working things out with you, you are not being criticized. by Teke. My reasoning for putting in such information is that I believe it to be true! Is it not that a person who disagrees with myself has as much prejudice as I do? How can such editors ever provide consensus, if there is no right nor wrong? Why cannot all information be put on? Perhaps you should allow the information to tay for a while longer than it was staying, and in the event that an editor disagrees, it is now that a consensus must be reached? The opinions stated on the wikipedia should be greater than that of the wikipedia editors? Otherwise it is not a user-made encyclopedia, it is just one of the opinions of but a few people. Can you assure diversity in the opinions of your editors is as great as that in your users? You must include what is right instead of waht is accepted, but that is beside the point. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.162.64.194 (talk • contribs) 03:34, April 23, 2006 (UTC)

I'll just respond here: "There is no truth; there is only you and what you make the truth." - Bright Eyes. Discuss it on the "Discussion" page, that is where we talk about things that are controversial to provide concensus. On a personal level, I agree with you in doing what is right over what is accepted, but this is not a place to expose personal preferences. I'm certain WAvegetarian and myself are more than happy to answer these and other questions you have; but once again there is no right answer. If aren't sure of an edit, refer to the Simple rules of editing. Teke 03:49, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

User:WAvegetarian/Suzy Sticks

Hi. I've userfied the article to the above slot. It's history is from creation through to the final edit before the AFD tag was added. I've restored the redirect complete with your DRV template, and there are 4 edits left deleted because they're garbage (the AFD tag, the redirect to your userspace etc):

1. 03:56, 26 April 2006 . . Kingboyk (moved Suzy Sticks to User:WAvegetarian/Suzy Sticks: Userfying)
2. 03:55, 26 April 2006 . . Kingboyk (Unprotected Suzy Sticks: Unprotecting)
3. 16:43, 25 April 2006 . . Kingboyk (Protected Suzy Sticks: Restoring history for WP:DRV, and protecting per AFD result of delete [edit=sysop:move=sysop])
4. 02:19, 19 April 2006 . . Bottesini ({{subst:afd1}})

The DRV is still running, it doesn't really matter to me if it runs on or not, but if you're happy with this outcome (which a polite note on my talk page would have got for ya - just check my talk, I don't get many complaints! :)), strike the nom out. --kingboyk 04:05, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Copyvio

Actually, the copyvio rule is used all the time against companies engaged in self-promotion. It's an easy way to quickly get rid of people who just dumped their website onto a Wikipedia page. Realistically, you could argue that they might reasonably give themselves permission, but technically they've reposted copyrighted material without permission, and Wikipedia can't legally let it stay. Besides, it saves the trouble of taking them through a week of AfD and arguing over their notability. Fan1967 01:55, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Just add the tag at the top of the page as {{db-copyvio|url=http://www.originalwebsite.com}} It automatically expands into the what you find at {{db-copyvio}}. Fan1967 02:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

It's a choice. They always have the option of recreating it without the copyvio. Of course, they're likely to then get tagged trhough a normal AfD based on their failure of WP:CORP. The vast majority of the time, they don't even try. Fan1967 02:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and in most of the cases, someone else, who is a CCP, is hosting their website, and holds the copyright per the note at the bottom of the page. Fan1967 02:27, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Why was my article deleted? Coby2 01:27, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

So, can I rewrite it if I add more information? Coby2 15:19, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

All right, I rewrote it. Coby2 16:37, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Proposed mergers

Why are you not using Template:Mergeto, for example on Double Disc Court? Ardric47 07:06, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

This is very strange. It's like something is being subst-ed. For example, I once used mergeto on the Olof Haakonson article. It shows up in the wikitext as

{{mergeto|Olav IV of Norway}}

In Double Disc Court, however, the wikitext that I see is

<div class="ombox ombox-merge"><!--PNG images containing transparencies do not display properly for some users. Please consider this fact before replacing the already tiny GIF file.-->[[Image:Merge-arrow.gif|left]] It has been suggested that this article or section be [[Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages|merged]] into ''[[Disc games]]''. ([[User talk:WAvegetarian/Disc games|Discuss]])</div>[[Category:Articles to be merged|Double Disc Court (into Disc games)]]

Are you seeing the same thing? Sorry for not really assuming good faith in my first comment. Ardric47 19:59, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Having a place for centralized discussions like that could be useful in other situations, too. Perhaps you could make your template into a permanent one that accepts a parameter like {{mergeto2|proposeddestination|discussionpage}} ? Ardric47 20:32, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

USER BOX??

Your signature

Hey there. I noticed that your sig is 88 times longer than a somewhat recent comment of yours. While this isn't a big deal of course, a 443-character-long sig seems a bit excessive to me. After all, it's very easy to get to your talk, contributions, and email pages from your userpage, there's no real need to link all four. Just a suggestion. -kotra 09:48, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Like I said, it's not a big deal, but I appreciate you saving a few resources by shortening it. I personally don't mind little shortcuts in sigs to one's talk page actually, it's really long sigs that are a pet peeve for me. Again, thanks! -kotra 22:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome

I'd been correcting various typos here and there anonymously from time to time. I'm still new on figuring out how to do major changes, but I hope you see how the CCM and Cincinnati Conservatory of Music pages have now been set up. Thanks again! Wangry 07:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you that thick?

<<Do not remove maintenance tags from articles unless you have fixed the problem they reference. Doing so is vandalism. Continuing to do so will get you blocked.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 12:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)>>

You can take that big talk and shove it up your cunt. I was already blocked but connected again using proxy server. I have 13,000 of them so you may just fuck off or lock the topic.

The reason the article is so small is because I remade it for the ttenth time It is very difficult to try making an article better when every time you are starting from the ground up and no one ever informed me of any reason to delete it. Jamhaw 20:29, 6 June 2006 (UTC)jamhaw

Afd as opposed to prod delete

Hi, I used an Afd, as the article appears to be of a relatively notable company, just needs a complete rewrite. I debated about whether to simply prod it, but thought I ought to stick in AfD, to see whether anyone thought it was notable enough to keep and just rewrite, or simply jsut to delete it. --Wisden17 23:34, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I did a very quick google search, didn't notice it on their page, but it looked and read like a copy-vio; so it's no surprise. From experience (mainly of browsing) AfDs I've seen people suggesting rewriting articles as opposed to deleting them, but in hindsight a prod might have been more suitbale, although it now sounds that a copyvio would have been the best option! I know what you mean about not wanting to write to much, when you don't actually have a problem! Look forward to bumping into you again on Wikipedia. --Wisden17 23:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar Awarded!!!

WAvegetarian is hereby awarded the Wikidefender Barnstar for countless efforts to defend Wikipedia from miscategorization at new page patrol. Keep up the fabulous work!!! Kukini 04:36, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Changed per your request. I only meant to make you smile and know that you are appreciated, not disparage anyone at all. Best wishes, Kukini

Changing name

Oh yeah...I forgot about that. If you would like to inform Adam of this possibility and how he might go about the change, please feel free. Best, Kukini 05:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Ausitn MAsters

The page I submitted is perfectly fine. I changed the text well enough where it wouldn't be copyright infringement. I have taken both literature and copyright/trademark classes in college and know that I did not violate either. One can't completely write a bio from scratch about a person they do not know.

Austin Masters again

Also the web site that you directed me to has nothing in common with what I wrote. They both have the words sex, and hairy, and man... But when you look at my text as a whole it is nothing the same. And one wonders how you would write an article about a porn star and not use those words.

Sorry to offend

I wrote the continuation of Austin MAsters before you wrote me back and changed it, not after. Sorry for the mix up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gage14x (talk • contribs) 08:48, June 9, 2006 (UTC)

No problem

Re: Bradley baruch stone

You just speedied this as CSD A7. I was in the process of prodding it as nn as it did make a claim to notability with a newspaper article devoted to the article's subject and unique actions taken by him. What is your standard for "assertion of the importance or significance of the subject"? I'm not requesting undeletion mind you, I'm just wondering what your criteria are. —WAvegetarian•(talk) 19:38, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I use WP:BIO as a guideline and ask myself the question What evidence is provided in this article to demonstrate the notability of this person?" A citation in a newspaper article or other Journal of Record; a television news item; published works in any media. As long as there is something substantial to support a claim of notability rather than just stating that person x exists or existed. The article has been recreated and I have asked the author to look at WP:BIO as a guide to making a claim as to notability for their subject.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  19:43, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm trying to feel out and understand the non-policy based boundaries surrounding inclusion and deletion better before becoming an admin. Since all of the inclusion guidelines are subjective guidelines, I'm trying to get a good sense of what the prevailing views on them seem to be. It's also a WP:AUTO violation, btw, and ghits aren't going to serve the guy well. On another subject, is the "I don't like CURRENTDAY." userbox a reference to a certain manic-depressive robot, or am I just reading too much into your userboxes?—WAvegetarian•(talk) 20:02, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, I understand now. To get a feel for what is and isn't acceptable, you should also look at the AfD pages, if you don't already, and see how other editors and administrators express their opinions. Editors have their own standards for inclusion or deletion in addition to the policies and guidelines set out elsewhere. I always find that justifying an action based upon a reading of such policies and guidelines is the best course of action when my decisions are questioned, as you can see from my Talk page and archives. That way, debates don't descend in to the personal realm and it is that much easier to remain civil. In answer to your other question, I don't know if Marvin was in the mind of the creator of that particular userbox, but there is a resonance with his attitudes and that statement, I agree!  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  20:11, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I used to be moderately active on AFD, but have spent much of my time recently doing NP patrol and the welcoming and policy explanations surrounding that, so I haven't seen much of the recent "case precedent" if you will regarding interpretations of it. I spent a half hour or so looking through it a couple days ago, in fact I even closed one, but thank you for the suggestion anyway. I intend to get more active there again and take a break from NPP for a little while. With AFD things are less frenetic and there's always something interesting to read more than "Jason sucks!", "Brad is the coolest!", or "We just love to rock out!" —WAvegetarian•(talk) 21:09, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, this is largely a thankless task and we are all volunteers too! I do have an idea that entropy increases over time, so that Wikipedia will move from a state of order towards a state of disorder the longer that it exists. Anything that we can do to stem the flow of disorderly contributions will be valued by someone. Regards,  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  21:13, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
