Reverting my edit on Watchmen characters
I understand that it was redirected a long time ago. I did not see a discussion regarding the merge. I did however see the AfD which was in favor of keeping. Therefore I am reverting it. I understand your merge was bold however I disagree with it so I am asking that you discuss it before reverting my edit. I gave my reason for keeping the article on the talk page of Characters in Watchmen. Thanks :) Valoem   talk  16:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I was a little hestiant in reverting Ozymandias as he was not as main a character as the others however he has established notability by being featured in the forbes fictional 15. Also I never saw any consensus for the merge I tried searching on the talk page and AfD. Valoem  talk  16:51, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm a little confused I looked at the AfD and it looked like consensus was in favor of keeping those articles. Where was it discussed otherwise? It seems someone redirected and no one contested it (actually it looks like it was contested just not by established users). However, I am now contesting it, mainly because the characters are also featured in a film and a video game not just one comic book. I'm sure you would agree with me now right? :) Valoem   talk  16:55, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Regarding your post on our edits on Ruby Gloom
How about I put the citation as "see Ruby Gloom skit titled 'Mr. Mummbles'. " Kagome 77 (talk) 11:03, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

I fixed it. The citation now says Ruby Gloom Skit: "The Mr. Mummbles How-to Show". This should work for that citation, since you should not link a youtube video to that, since the video may be taken down later on, due to copyright violations or other things.

Negush uprising
Please, do not revert back to the [soskpuppeteer's] version. We've discussed it on the talkpage with two other editors and agreed the article was a hoax and an obvious POV fork of another article. It's up for deletion anyway or maybe for a redirect to the actual article. It was me that removed that info and justified my removal. It wasn't me reverting you later (I'm not the annon), but there is no grounds on which such an imaginative work of fiction should be an article on Wikipedia.

Jack page
Ok, well let me explain. Essentially, you're factually correct, what you're adding is true information. However, the sections you're adding it to are very short compact ones to summarily describe the character's history in the order it was revealed (sujet as opposed to fabula) and in minimal, essential detail. There is one line later on that discusses Jack's immortality works "either by resurrection or invulnerability" (with a citation to "Utopia" after the word invulnerability). That paragraph, mind, probably does need work but it's the only place in the article that the information should be discussed at length (although, very little length, at that). It's not essential for a reader who wants to know the character's history to know beyond the word "immortality".~ZytheTalk to me! 22:20, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

 * All I know is, Tan handed you a great setup and you knocked it out of the park.

I've declined a speedy deletion tag you placed on the above-captioned article, but I wanted to say that I don't blame you for a moment for placing it; it was such a mess that I very nearly overlooked the assertion that the individual was a member of the Indian parliament myself (the equivalent of a state representative or senator in the US system).

Greetings. I was reading through the Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding Newport News article and I noticed some additional vandalism by 74.231.186.104 that was apparently missed.

RE:Donnelly
Winning some money off of a television gambling show doesn't give you sufficient notability.

If somebody made an article for him, it would be deleted per violating Wikipedia's notability guidelines but still. And yes, I know that a lot of the people on the Recent Deaths page do not have Wikipedia pages, but Donnelly will not get one of his own, similarly to Joe Biden's mother who was listed yesterday, before being removed.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on this one, though. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:58, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

You got that right. He remains the single strangest individual I've ever dealt with on this site. The little putz wore out his welcome by basically turning this site's generosity onto itself; his ranges were too big to block and he knew it. He finally pushed too far and three BellSouth ranges and a school are locked out. All of his pet articles are still locked out as well, which is a damn shame. If he were my kid, I wouldn't allow him near a computer until he turned 30. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:11, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Good question. He's definitely on the top of the list. User:JarlaxleArtemis in his "Grawp" persona comes to mind, but a lot of the vandalism from that account was coordinated offsite by copycats. User:General Tojo is a pretty persistent individual as is User:Scibaby.

It is also legal to post content licensed under a licence which is compatible with Wikipedia's when it's attributed. 129.241.122.38 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:19, 30 January 2010 (UTC).

question
Will i get blocked if i add music lyrics to song pages?Halfwite|ρεβῼ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.45.99.75 (talk) 00:36, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * (I watch this page) Song lyrics are protected by copyright so may not be added in full to an article. Use of a lyric or two to illustrate something *may* be appropriate. If you add copyright material repeatedly you are likely to get blocked, after a warning. Not worth doing. -- Flyguy649 talk 01:07, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Will we get a warning first because i did that a couple hours ago. Wite ink ρεβῼ 02:09, 5 February 2010 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Witeink (talk • contribs)

Hey
I'm not "riding your edits". I guess we're just pushing the button at the same time. I have no way of knowing who reverted it first until after the fact. X X X antiuser eh? 21:54, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

A Pointer
Add the references to the articles, not user talk pages please. That's how it works. Pedro : Chat  21:05, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that. Pedro : Chat  21:18, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Barnstar get!
What official term? The SuperDuperCaliFragilisticExpialiDocious Bowl? Hey, you shoulda been there when they were trying to figure out which group to select for the halftime show. First, Janet Jackson was right out. They finally narrowed it down to the Who, the Guess Who, and Yes. Unfortunately, when it came time to vote, an Abbott-and-Costello-like free-for-all broke out. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Latest catch, cont'd
Ah, he's such a sweet one. Btw, his latest account at "Encyclopedia Dramatica" is "Wikilulz". He's also the infamous banned "Freddy" on simple.wikipedia.org. Sometimes it's all he does. Antandrus (talk) 04:03, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Autofellatio
Hello, all I did was to remove, which was added by an anonymous user, a picture quite controversial and explicit, which can only be verified and added the by administrator. (WP: POLICY). Ccrazymann (talk) 16:51, 10 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, may be a mistake on my part, but in no case merits a warning of vandalism on your part. Ccrazymann (talk) 16:55, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

 * Lol, was just about to undo the edit myself, when I saw the box at the top of your page. - JuneGloom07    Talk?  20:36, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Page protect.

Blocked for 15 minutes
Please take the time to contemplate the fact that you were edit warring over something so minute - it really didn't matter whether the comment was left on, or off. –xenotalk 20:29, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not the point. It's an archive. You don't edit archives ever, and you sure as hell don't remove others' comments because 'you don't like them'. Half  Shadow  20:30, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not necessarily true, nor does it really matter. I'm not endorsing either of your actions here. –xeno<sup style="color:black;">talk 20:32, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I was only reverting it because it was an archive edit. The fact that the edit was mine is just coincidence; I'd have done the same anywhere. If it hadn't been archived, I wouldn't have bothered. Half Shadow  20:34, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Would suggest you just move on. The comment is pretty irrelevant, so it doesn't matter if it is, or isn't, part of the historical record. Edit warring over it was silly on both your parts. –<b style="font-family:verdana; color:black;">xeno</b><sup style="color:black;">talk 20:41, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry; I was of the impression archives were one of those 'set in stone' rules. Half  Shadow  20:43, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No, not really entirely set in stone. I edited an archive today, actually . It's just basically left to common sense. The comment seems to be a point of contention for Coldplay. A noble thing to do would be to extend an olive branch and remove it yourself. –<b style="font-family:verdana; color:black;">xeno</b><sup style="color:black;">talk 20:45, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. And know that archives are not so sacrosanct that if editing them will improve Wikipedia, you should do so. Adding net-new comments to archives is basically what is frowned upon - as the archive tag was wrapped around it to put a line under it, as it were. –<b style="font-family:verdana; color:black;">xeno</b><sup style="color:black;">talk 20:50, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't have anything against you; in fact, I don't care about you at all. I made a joke, you took it the wrong way and spent half an hour harassing me. Half  Shadow  20:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No you made an attack at me and I rook it your way.-- Coldplay Expért <sup style="color:#DC143C;">Let's talk  20:57, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Stop
Stop the nonsense at MF's talk page, please. -- Andy Walsh  (talk)  20:30, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Completely second this. If you don't like Malleus, stop posting on his talk page. Right now. --Moni3 (talk) 20:47, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Blocked - again
I've blocked you for 12 hours per this rubbish and your long history of random abuse of Wikipedia. Sorry. have the night off and try and come back tomorrow to add some value. Ta. Pedro : Chat  23:28, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That wasn't 'rubbish'; that was a joke between Bishonen and me as per this. Half  Shadow  23:31, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * (ec)
 * I believe this was a joke, following Bish's comment here on ANI after the new editor mistook HalfShadow for an admin. It appears to have been a mutual and consentual joke, not an actual admin impersonation or disruption, etc.
 * HalfShadow, can you confirm and clarify? Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 23:33, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure as hell can. My Brain thought I was an admin, so I made the joke, Bish said yes, so I tried to 'ban' Bish.  Half  Shadow  23:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Unblocked
Your request for unblocking has been granted. The reason is - thee blocking admin missed a good four or five diffs of context and therefore is a twat. Just goes to show how much context over content can mean. Sorry. Pedro : Chat  23:41, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Fixed yet? Pedro : Chat  23:53, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope. Half  Shadow  23:54, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah. There we go. Half  Shadow  23:55, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank goodness for that. I'm a fuck wit. Sorry. Pedro : Chat  23:56, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Removed the UnBlock template to stop it transcluding. Thanks for the note. Again, apologies for my screw up. Pedro : Chat  23:59, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
