This user is a mutant or member of the brotherhood userboxes have dumb images man! Is there any cool pic of Magneto/Mystique/Toad/Wolverine/Apocalypse which I can add.

I added 4 funny religions(See my user page) JEdi,Sith,Britney Worship and Apocalypse's religion.I intend to add more.

Can you tell me if those images are allowed.I want to make those userboxes I added my own unique user brotherhood box on MY userpage. I guess thats allowed Batzarro 04:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I went through 100s of pics to see which were good. Good ones all have copyright probs man.Batzarro

But i guess its no big deal if i keep em on my user page. Why can't we add sith and jedi as funny religions. Did you see my user page?

I worship britney-thats funny so is lord apocalypse Batzarro 08:55, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SORRY WON'T DO IT AGAIN

BYEBYE

HANKS FOR LETTEN ME KNOW

SORRY MY BIG BROTHER GOT ON AND MESSED IT ALL UP SORRY ANYWAY

Cheers for the talk template reverts. Can't say I ever expected it to be vandalised much . . .

Hi, I reported vendalism by user DengXiaoPing (or Peng - sorry I am forgetting the spelling)on the Eastern Front page twice today. I noticed on his talk page he had a warning about this page prior to my report.

You responded that this is a content dispute rather than a case of vandalism. I agree in part, but only in part. I think it began as a content dispute, but this has gone on for a couple months. User Deng posts the same edit over and over, and reverts those who delete it. I think it is worth noting that a bunch of other editors have removed his edits; it isn't just me. Users Michael Z and Ksenon have also reverted identical edits from deng several times. Deng hasn't got a clue what he is writing about, which makes it doubly difficult to reason with him. You can see the consensus of edits is against him.

I guess I don't know when a content dispute, over the same content over and over, becomes vandalism, but this guy is ruining the article. I appreciate anything you can do to either block him or explain to me how this can otherwise be sorted out. DMorpheus 19:07, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

You reverted an anonymous spelling correction from "blackcurrent" to "blackcurrant". I don't know why; the 'a' spelling was correct, and reverting it to "blackcurrent" was shockingly poor form. Fourohfour 10:48, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. I seem to be getting this a lot lately... Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs 15:17, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have an idea why I might be blocked. Seeing how I primarialy use this website from my high school, I share an IP adress with the entire school. Well, I herd through the grape vine that a freshman changed Thomas Jefferson's name within the Thomas Jefferson article to something along Thomas "Jungle Fever" Jefferson. This is probably one of many things that the students have done. More than likely, they are holding a chat within the Matoaca High School article disscussion. As much as it hurts me to say this, I think our IP address should stay blocked. Knowing the delinquits in this school, the vandalism would only persist and get worse, like some sort of virus. If you know of any way to block the IP but allow certain persons to be unaffected within the IP, I would be grateful to hear them.

Thanks Again

Okay. While I respect your decision about keeping the block, it is probably impossible to get the network to track down those responsible. For a while, though, I thought I was the guilty vandal. Duinemerwen 21:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, not going to raise a big stink about this, but your closing of that AfD was a bit irregular.

Unless you were pretty sure what their decision would be... --W.marsh 01:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, like I said, I have no intention of pressing this anywhere beyond a simple discussion with you. I just think you need to reconsider closing AfDs like that in the future. How would it have looked if I'd closed it as a delete? It just isn't a good idea for people who've participated in an AfD and have a clear bias to be closing them. -W.marsh 02:08, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I did, but I highly doubt that it will do any good. The editors on the abramoff page and the admins that they have on their side want their say to be the ONLY SAY. So there is little chance we will get a fair shake on this. But since they have blocked the page any interested reader will be able to see that our edits were reasonable.

No longer applies, as this comic's article has been deleted. Also, I am leaving Wikipedia. Why should I stay in a community that allows such a huge log of deletions to take place? It's not so much the deletion of the article (it only ever drew 30 hits, a sign that no one wants to bother coming here looking for webcomics), but the fact that this is going on with over a DOZEN other comic's articles, and how happy everyone seems to be over it. Congratulations, your community has lost another article writer and webcomic browser. I'm going to look at Comic Genesis or Comixpedia, now. After February 28, I will no longer come here.

So there really are some people who care about the webcomics medium here!

I was so disappointed when I first logged on... I found so much resistance from people who seemed to not only "not care" about webcomics etc, but actually seemed to be AGAINST them...

I just checked your userpage, and it did give me some hope... I was thinking of only bothering with non-webcomics articles in the future, because of the whole attitude I saw here (my first edit involved the main "webcomics" article to include self-referential ones - at least Checkerboard Nightmare remained there, it's really an important comic even today, regardless of the fact that Straub updates it only "when there's something to say").

I just joined today, but I thought highly of wikipedia long before I did, and was disappointed with the community soon after I joined... At least now I know it's not everyone...

Still, I think I will be editing non-webcomics articles here from now on (there's always comixpedia), i just wanted to say thanks for "restoring my faith in mankind" for the day. BunnyDee 14:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adashiel, I recently discovered that Tick Acey is on his 20th comic. I think you should update the deletion reason now, for he has at least twenty comics. Thanks, Comic Master.

• 20 episodes is still a tiny number. Most of the webcomics we do have articles for have hundreds and even thousands of strips. In any case, it's not just the number of strips, it's also about how well-known it is. Do a Google search on "Tick Acey" and exclude Wikipedia results and you get five returns. See
  WP:WEB for our notability guidelines to get an idea of what it takes to make it. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 11:44, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply

Vandalism

As I am still new to many of the features of Wikipedia, I am not totally sure if I am writing this message in the correct place. I persume this is the right place to write the message, but I apologise if it is not.

I have recently been given a message stating that I have been adding "nonsense" to Wikipedia. I depend upon Wikipedia as a useful tool to research certain topics, and to generally browse. I may edit certain pages, especially to correct mistakes and update information on pages regarding soon-to-be-released albums; however I would never delierately vandalize a page, I despise people who carry out this unhelpful act, and I completely resent the fact that I am an accused of being a perpetrator.

I understand that I may have received a message that did not apply to me, due to the sharing or changing of IP adresses; and if this is the case, I apologise for the angry tone of this message. I have created an account, in order to avoid such a misunderstanding. However if this is not the case, I would like please more details regarding the alledged vandalism, in order to therefore edit any unintentional "nonsense", and resolve the issue.

I appreciate Wikipedia, and also the work that you put into making it a reliable source of information.

Thank you.—The preceding

Bench 37 webcomic article

I have editted the Bench 37 article. I can understand your claims that it is nothing but a vanity article, but would like to dispute that. I simply like to keep a running summary of the comics history in an easily readable, editable, and accessable format. Wikipedia is all that and more. Yes, I am the comic's author, but I have tried my hardest to write from a neutral point of view. I would like to assure you that writing this article was not an attempt to make myself a Greg Dean or Scott R. or Brian Clevinger. If you would like to continue this discussion, please write back. If you still want to delete the article, I will grudgingly accept your decision. You are an admin, and you must be an admin for a reason. I just wanted to make every effort possible to work something out in a mature fashion before it came to something like that.

What is this "mainspace" you're talking about?

Did you just make it up? Give me a reference. Where, in any article about WP policy or guidelines, is this distinction made? Sbharris 21:23, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the answer. By your own definition (which you still have not given me a reference for)

Shortcut WP:RS

box or the similar one for "policy"? Anybody can delete these, or put similar ones in any Wiki. It does not mean that all that appears there is automatically policy or guideline. It just means what appears there is whatever a bunch of people have gotten used to, and nobody is left who is willing to get into an edit war over anything substantially diffenent. There is no official statement from Wikipedia on either of these matters. That's in your imagination, sorry. Feel free to prove me wrong. I'd like to see it, of course. Sbharris 21:58, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I am now educated on the various spaces of WP. However, my point I'm afraid still stands. WHO decided that policy on wikis should apply only to n.0 wikis, and no others? We have no verifiable reference for it. Perhaps when the policy was crafted, it was meant to exempt Talk and User papers and nobody thought about n.4 material-- epecially material which is treated exactly like main Wikis, as witness the redirect. We don't know, and THAT is the problem which I'm tying to get addressed. But being blocked by you. I'm asking you to give it more thought.

The main problem is there is no way of knowing where eny given Wiki policy or guideline comes from. Too often, policies are assumed to eminate from Wales himself, but I find after checking that this is almost never the case. A standard of verifiability on policy and guideline wikis would clear such things up. Thus, the {citation} tag on WP:V is fully appropriate, and I ask you return it. It makes people think, and that is its purpose. Perhaps you yourself have never thought about the exact origin of specific Wiki policies and guidelines, and are just now doing so? Sbharris 20:12, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to take a pass on this one. You've got some good points, but learning to live with the chaos that is Wikipedia is just part of getting the job done. Wikipedia is not unlike a giant herd of cats, and quite a few of them are rabid, so a fluid and highly malleable framework is pretty much the only way to do things. Policies and guidelines pop into existence seemingly from out of nowhere all the time. If they work, we run with them. If they don't, we run over them. It's just not something you can pin down with citations. We leave that for the content itself. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 21:13, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can I quote you the next time somebody reverts one of my edits on the basis of some statement in a Wiki on a policy or a guideline, which is being taken as Holy Scripture? Really, exactly what you just said above needs to be stated somewhere in

WP:RULES. So why not be bold and insert it? I like it. Sbharris 21:24, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply

Well, I'm basically just paraphrasing

WP:IAR. That's not to say we don't have persistent rules, some of which are very stringent, but tracking their progress and documenting them thoroughly? I can't imagine how you'd do it.

You're right this article needs work.

Webcomics, as usual

Just for the record, I think we're actually in agreement that only the most significant comics should be covered by wikipedia. It may be true that your ideas for inclusion covers maybe 5% of all webcomics and mine covers only 4%, or that your "Big league" encompasses quite a bit of my "minor league." As I'm sure you know well by now, I think the best way to make this encyclopedia useful and spam-free is to require that articles be based on reliable sources. I don't want to assume that the comics i read are important just becuase they are important to me or my firends. Sometimes I feel like your inclusion criteria is based more on feelings than facts, and this occasioanlly frustrates me. You do lots of other plainly great work here, but some of your AfD comments about what you "feel to be a notable subject" and how you "believe a subject is sufficiently important for an article" just seems to encourage the atmosphere of "Keep, I love this comic" we see from others. I don't know, does that make sense? I mean, like with the more minor webcomics on Keenspot, I see no reason why Wikipedia needs to host their lengthy character bios and episode guides if no reliable publication has ever even mentioned them. -- Dragonfiend 21:01, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This was out of order; early closures should be reserved for cases where there is near unanimity and where it is obvious what the outcome will be, which clearly was not the case here. It is also somewhat impolite to close a debate that you yourself had participated in.

I understand why some of the paragraphs might be deleted, but I feel the one there now deserves to stay. It has a credible citation and is entirely factual and proven. The reason I used a forum as a citation for the other was because it was concerning that forum, though I understand the deletion.

Ctrl+Alt+Del

Adashiel, unfortunately I need to ask you for some guidance on the Ctrl+Alt+Del talk page. Recently a few editors, apparently working as a team, have been attempting to add the same "criticism" issues which have plagued the page for months now, with the same old forum-post sources, which I believe violate both WP:V and WP:BLP. I have attempted to remove the links which were previously ruled by SGGH as unsuitable, and have also attempted to discuss this issue with the editors, both on the article talk page, and on their individual talk pages. Now however it has gone past a content dispute, and one user in particular, Alphus Omegus, has openly accused me of bad faith, both on the talk page and on my personal talk page. I certainly do not intend to edit the page in bad faith, only with the intention to make sure that the information conforms to WP:BLP, especially considering the extremely serious nature of the accusations. I feel it is of the utmost importance that something like that be backed up with proper sources. If you could provide me with some advice on how to handle it, or a review of the situation, I would very much appreciate it. Thrindel (talk) 22:12, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
