To me, Go Deo is Mary Margaret's old band, and two nonsense words.
According to Talk:Waiting for Godot, "g(e)o deo" is some sort of Irish phrase.

Do you have a point to make about the article here, or are you just speculating as if this were a discussion forum? Bearcat (talk) 04:01, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1) We have now established you're rule-bound and reactionary.

2) This is a discussion forum for the article. That's why it's here.

3) I think that Go Deo made the cover of NOW, so if old NOW articles are somehow accessible, then the mysterious and quite possibly Irish (O'Hara, could that be Irish? I wouldn't know; I'm just some fucking idiot who can be casually dismissed) phrase might be defined there.

And then that could go into this precious bloody article, which is the apotheosis of perfection right now as it stands.

Jesus Christ.

Instead of flippantly attacking the contributors, why don't you endeavour to look it up? Eh?

No wonder non-Wikipedians think of Wikipedia as a joke.

This is a page for discussing issues with the article; it is not a forum for discussing personal opinions of Mary Margaret O'Hara as an individual. Your original comment didn't actually offer any insight into what you were trying to accomplish by posting it — whether you were suggesting new content for the article or just posting random discussion for the sake of discussion — and you still haven't offered any real reason why offering a definition of the phrase "Go Deo" would be at all useful as an addition to this article. (Do we need to explain the etymological origins of the words "Dollars", "Songship" and "Toronto" in this article too? And if that would just be silly — which it is — then what exactly makes "Go Deo" a different story?)

And the fact that you took my original comment as a personal attack on you when it was nothing of the sort, and used it to launch a blisteringly over the top attack on the entire concept of Wikipedia instead of simply answering a straightforward question in a calm and rational way, says a whole lot more about you than it does about me.

And also, just for the record, angrily attacking somebody else for not "looking this stuff up" for you, when you have just as much power and authority as anybody else does to do that yourself, doesn't exactly make you the one walking the high road. And neither does being unwilling to put your name to your words — if you're really the "incognito senior bloody editor" that you claim to be, you'd know that Wikipedia typically gives a lot more weight to people who are willing to sign in and stand behind their comments than it does to anonymous IP sniping.)

"Rule-bound and reactionary"? Get a damn grip, all I did was ask a simple question that didn't warrant the tone you just responded in. Bearcat (talk) 21:56, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was at that show, and Michael Stipe said she was in the audience and declared her a national treasure, but I don't recall her coming onstage. Was anyone else there? 162.251.16.246 (talk) 05:13, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
