 * The April Fools Day joke votes (mostly Oppose and Neutral) that were reverted can be found here.

The votes based on his username border on trolling since they are just so ridiculous and are purely meant to be disruptive. Pegasus1138 Talk 05:03, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * HOW is it disruptive? I fail to see any disruptiveness. Don't make baseless accusations, please. NSL E (T+C) at 05:08 UTC (2006-04-01)


 * It's disruptive since it's a baseless reason that's only meant to garner ill will and is meant to disrupt the RFA process. Pegasus1138 Talk 05:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * The votes based on his username are supports. How do they garner ill-will, pray tell? NSL E (T+C) at 05:16 UTC (2006-04-01)


 * I think Pegasus1138 is referring to User:Michael Snow's vote. Pegasus, don't worry- most of the oppose votes are jokes for April Fool's Day. E WS23 | (Leave me a message!) 05:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Get serious, it's an encyclopedia. Pegasus1138 Talk 05:22, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Even encyclopedias can be funny. For example, I think that it's very funny that amputee fetishism is a stub. Just a thought. – ClockworkSoul 06:52, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

April Fool's
It causes a minor amount of disruption to normal processes when things like this happen. It's also humourless. I've moved back the page and in the manner of a true spoilsport, removed most of the crap. The old version can be found in the usual manner.

Please think for a moment. Some of us attempt to remain productive even when the rest of us are fucking about in the name of some obscure tradition which lasts for 12 hours and doesn't clean up its own mess. Rob Church (talk) 17:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I can't speak for others, but I have every intention of cleaning up the "messes" I made, at the end of the day, and I think a bit of a sense of humour is a good thing. This particular nom is going to sail through, is my read, and the fun being made is harmless, again IMHO. "fun" and "productive" can coexist quite handily here, if you let them (if you review my contributions for today you'll see that while I was being foolish, I launched an article, edited some others, commented on an interesting issue regarding esoteric languages, commented on the RfA process, opposed a merge of two car articles and I forget what else... that's pretty productive I think). All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. I think letting backside foolish stuff (not public facing articlespace stuff) stand all day is just fine. But then, while I have 20 or so years online experience to draw on, I'm a relative newbie here, and wasn't here for previous years... YMMV. + +Lar: t/c 20:49, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I didn't see the harm in the nomination title (the 33 1/3 bit), but bleh. Some people need to be a killjoy. —Locke Cole • t • c 21:22, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * It seems that as a backlash to the myriad April Fools pranks, even minor humor is being scrutinized. JoshuaZ 20:33, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
