Noticed you're a bit down...
Can't find some award or somesuch that'll say "you're doing alright, don't let the stresses of Wikipedia get to you. You have friends!" but I'll tell you that you're doing great and that I'm much more in need of speedy deletion than yourself! Get yourself back up, get rid of the fug and keep doing what you do best. --treelo talk 23:39, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the kind words. In any event, not to get the threads out of order, I've sent those two articles (above) to AFD. Yngvarr 23:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Overdrive/Preamp 250
![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/48px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
An editor has nominated Overdrive/Preamp 250, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Overdrive/Preamp 250 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Camp Lazlo
Remember how User:Yngvarr/Working was intended to consiolidate most of the show's info and enabled us to remove the minors and location lists? Yeah, that didn't go down so well and those two lists still feel redundant especially now I've nominated the locations (and some place articles) from KND for deletion. What say you, feel the time is right to nominate those? -treelo talk 22:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Oh yea, I remember that. I think it's time. Also, now that the show is basically over, maybe some other work can be taken care of with the rest of the series. There are still a few outstanding episodes, but that's besides the point. I'll also check out your AFDs on the KND stuff. Yngvarr 23:26, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input on the noms, already a snowball issue like you mentioned but really it's a bit stupid just how many pageforks the series has. Anyway, if we're to AfD the locations and minors lists then I'm concerned for the template which is still not much more than a glorified list of anchor links and just about related articles. When all is done, there'll be 3 articles, the main article and the episode and character lists which is fine for the show given it can't expand much further so the template might be useless to some degree. I'd use the deletion of these "deadwood" articles as impetus for a good look and rewrite of the Lazlo articles, you may nominate but I reckon at a snowball result for those noms also. --treelo talk 17:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- I want to wait a little bit on offering these to AfD, maybe until after this Friday (January 4). There is still at least one outstanding episode which Murray delivered, but which hasn't aired. And I caught something out of the corner of my eye this weekend, but I don't know if it'll be a new episode. I'd not worry too much about the template, it can be massaged to fit into things.
- Also, on an slightly related topic, Murray has been updating his website with a lot of interesting character information. Some of it can be used quite nicely. I don't know if you keep an eye on Rocko's Modern Life (Murray's other work), but User:WhisperToMe has been doing a similar incorporation into those articles. Yngvarr 19:01, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I'll trust your view on the Lazlo content being the main custodian. I do watch the Rocko article but don't maintain it even though it was one of my favourite shows as a kid and what WhisperToMe's doing is very good. We're doing something similar so I'm happy Joe released this info. --treelo talk 20:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Indent. These are done. The settings has been deleted, so I've added some minor text to the main article. The minor chars was (unfortunately) redir'ed to the main characters page, and pasted into the bottom. For which I disagree, but it's an admin so I'm not going to bother arguing. I've started to trim it down some degree, starting with the pets and the "others". Once those are reasonable, we'll start in on the mains, removing some of the cruft that crept in over time. It appears that the article is still under semi-protection, too. Yngvarr 00:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'd argue with an admin if I thought their choice of handling was incorrect and yeah, I think a straight up deletion would have worked as to me the minors list was filled with absolute non-notables or one-shots, if it wasn't and actually had content worth keeping I'd have merged it in myself. I wouldn't pare down the stuff right at the bottom though as much of it is very much non-notable although someone probably would warn your butt like they did mine, must remember to fill in the summaries when cutting 20Kb of crap from an article. Anyway, I'm not totally surprised the list is still semi-prot'd and probably should stay that way given now there's nowhere for the "pets" and other one-shots to go. Do what you can, when the steely gaze of the over-vigilant has shifted elsewhere I'll dig about and edit a little. --treelo talk 01:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well, that kinda sux that someone warned you on that. I don't know if it would be worth mentioned it to them, and point them to here for discussion, and the AFDs. Either way, it's pretty much uncalled for, sorry about that. Right now, I'm going to retire and see what tomorrow brings. Yngvarr 01:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I would but it was only for not filling in the edit summary field and it's unlikely they'd hear me being one of those whose usually everywhere at one time and probably just reverted and warned like with anyone else. It's troublesome but I don't mind it that much as I still got to make my large edit and hopefully it sticks. You might consider putting some of the chararcters I removed back in but I wouldn't accept them back in unless a good writeup can be done without padding for appearances and one-off personality traits. --treelo talk 02:31, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

- I think this is what I'd call a WTF moment. Another bot reverted your edits with a less-than-helpful summary. I think it might just be that the article is semi-PP, and the changes triggered some sort of size difference. I'll try to fiddle with it and see if your edits can be re-incorporated. Yngvarr 10:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- It was a semi-prot issue, as the help section for the bot states:
Restricted changes - Either A) the edit was identified as being consensus rejected edits of a banned user or B) the edit was identified as changing too much text at once for a shared IP/very new user on a page that banned users tend to attack. Additionally, it could simply refer to "page blanking" of any page while the bot is on RC patrol.
- Apparently I don't edit it enough to make such huge edits and must be very new, damn bots. Just thinking, why rewrite the sections to condense it if the characters weren't actually notable even for the minors list? This whole issue of being reverted twice for cleaning up some admin's sloppy decision to merge an article better suited to being deleted given the amount of pure garbage in there is stupid and making me reckon sometimes Wikipedia might be working against me on some level. Nothing below Miss Mucus is worth keeping so instead I'll leave some comments within the article to direct you as to where to get rid of the insignificant without you getting reverted too. --treelo talk 14:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Keeping up with the sockpuppeteers
Seems KL is back or at least I reckon it to be. Anyway, keep an eye on User:GregFK360 and puppet User:GregFK2 as shooting them off to WP:AIV didn't get much and would be better listed on WP:SSP instead. I don't do great writeup for potential sockpuppets as you can see so I'm handing it to you as you seem good at getting sockpuppets blocked.
Also, in the ongoing non-issue in the PPG article, the main protagonist User:Marcus2 seems to have a sockpuppet or two. As mentioned before and also here, check it over and add some evidence if possible. A barnstar will be up for grabs if we can get a successful ban of either the IP puppets or the main guy himself for disruption. --treelo talk 05:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've submitted a case [[1]] for the second one. As for the Greg socks, that still has me scratching my head. I was actually of the mind that they might be User:Danny_Daniel, but they don't exactly match Danny. They don't really match Komodo Lover, either, but I'm still looking and seeing what I can find. Yngvarr 11:24, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- I reckoned they weren't Danny pretty early on but it had some traits of KL (i.e. talking in very simple English like that of a developmentally challenged child) which has me semi-convinced of them being KL. Eitherway, if there's no contribs from either account then consider it cold as they may end up returning. --treelo talk 12:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Check user Marcus2
Are you expecting me to respond to this: [2]? I don't know if I should. 70.101.182.149 (talk) 15:13, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- That's totally up to you, I don't really care one way or another. I just posted out of courtesy for everyone involved. Yngvarr 15:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- RFCU flagged up the IP addresses as being used by Marcus2, best to mention it on the sockpuppet case --treelo talk 14:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I see that you've already posted on the SSP. I guess there's not much we can do now, just wait and see how the SSP case pans out, and what the admins decide. Yngvarr 19:21, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Question: how is a user able to make a "direct hit" on another user in regards to using another IP, as Blnguyen claims? 70.101.182.149 (talk) 21:17, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- In this case, what the checkuser is saying is that you and Marcus are the same person, because the IP addresses in question have only been used by Marcus. Beyond that, you'd have to bring it up with the admin in question to figure out what is used to determine the match. I'm not saying if you are, or if you are not, because that's up to you and the admin to figure out where to go from here. Yngvarr 21:46, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- From what I know of the checkuser tool, it's IP based. If both the IP addresses used by User X and another account be it an anonymous IP user or a registered user are the same then that's a pretty grounded confirmation that they're the same person[3] [4]. Simple enough and fairly infallible, what happens now is probably a ban on all accounts concerned given the policy being broken with some amount of certainty. --treelo talk 22:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Murray and Camp Lazlo
"I seem to recall reading somewhere with Joe Murray talking about some of the details of Camp Lazlo; specifically how he wanted to present certain details, such as the sky being yellow. I can't find the reference offhand. Wonder if that might ring a bell for you?"
I do not recall such details, but try searching on Google, or e-mail Murray himself and see if he points you to where the info is from. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yup, google is your friend. I found it [5] Yngvarr 19:25, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yay! Do you think that you have enough real-life info to make Lazlo the character into a separate article? WhisperToMe (talk) 21:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- There certainly appears to be quite enough info to justify it. The only possible concern I can think of is that the sources are primary (from Murray), there may be challenge over lack of secondary and/or tertiary sources. Other than that, as far as I can see, it surely satisfies verifiability and notability. Quite a bit of the existing text would need to be removed, much of it is trivial and would probably qualify as WP:OR. Yngvarr 11:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yay! Do you think that you have enough real-life info to make Lazlo the character into a separate article? WhisperToMe (talk) 21:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, once I found a review of Camp Lazlo (want third party stuff? Get reviews! Then add reviewer's descriptions of characters) - And I decided to use it as my third party source. See: Lazlo (Camp Lazlo) - I do not watch the show, so if you want to, please decide what is frivolous and what isn't. :) - By the way [[Category:Camp Lazlo]] was nominated for deletion. Check the CFD page. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- I like this kid, should give 'em a barnstar or something. I like it but isn't much of the content from primary sources? Seems fair that primary sourcing could be used given it's not exactly overrun with secondary sources beyond a couple of archived reviews. Anyway, the main Lazlo article was redirected because the content before didn't justify it's existence and currently what's there does but not much beyond a stub and if you're going to give Lazlo his article back, people will argue that you may as well give Clam and Raj theirs back also. As for the category deletion, that's fine given it's only a small pool of articles now (and for whatever reason this talkpage). Just my two cents, Yngvarr will know about Lazlo as well as I do but it's his talkpage so... --treelo talk 02:04, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- As for it being my talkpage, I don't mind if we discuss things like this here. I'd not the "keeper" of the Lazlo (I'd not want to be accused of WP:OWN), so if these kind of discussions are more appropriate elsewhere, that's fine, too.
- For Lazlo vs. Clam and Raj, I actually was thinking that myself, but it's fairly easy to knock down Clam and Raj. Murray spent a lot of time developing Lazlo, much more than the rest, and he documented much of that development. There's not near enough of the same kind of documentation for Clam and Raj. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yngvarr (talk • contribs) 11:56, January 16, 2008
- You'd only be accused of WP:OWN if you were being over-zealous and blocking anyone else from trying to change the article at all, that you're talking about it says you're not exactly assuming ownership anymore than WhisperToMe is. Now that some edits have been made to the Lazlo article, I can see why it was redirected and doubt a redirect and merge back into the main article would make a significant difference. Oh, one more thing. Sign. --treelo talk 17:03, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I can go either way right now. It is a bit slim, but I do think it can withstand a challenge, if it comes to that. So we'll just have to see where it goes. WhisperToMe has been doing a great job digging up little nuggets of real-world info, it wouldn't surprise me to see some more stuff added. Yngvarr 17:07, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- I added some more content from two reviewers, who uncovered some more traits. See if you can find a way to add material from the actual episodes without veering into OR territory - Perhaps look at what was deleted and see what can be salvaged. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:58, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Maximilian Auffhammer
![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/48px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Maximilian Auffhammer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion of Kid Norfolk

A tag has been placed on Kid Norfolk requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

Returning guests
Be aware that User:Crips r us, soon to be User:Numbuh 7 or somesuch (Numbuh 7 is already taken),is a known sockpuppet. I've been in talks with Elaich and GlassCobra and we're pretty certain that it's Claymort (or Greg as he likes to be called now) returning to see us again. If you're unaware, he's a long term issue for some editors and has a legacy of being a completely aggressive and attention hungry vandal not to mention that when he does edit correctly, it's pretty crappy. He is probably checking this and may pop along later to state how he's not Claymort but Greg but ignore that as they're the same person and I feel that "Greg" has some mental issues which causes this sort of thing. --treelo talk 22:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Some info about Rocko awards/nominations
I found a work that discusses awards/nominations, but I have incomplete information: Talk:Rocko's_Modern_Life#Award_mention_in_an_almanac_-_But_what_is_it_about.3F WhisperToMe (talk) 06:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Any luck with Rocko and the almanac?
Did you get any luck with finding what the almanac is describing? WhisperToMe (talk) 04:58, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ooops, my apologies. I did find some information, but only thru the OCLC catalogs. It's a Daytime Emmy Award from 1993. Unfortunately, none of my local libraries has the almanac in their holdings. Yngvarr 10:02, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- If we know it is a daytime Emmy award, we can just cite the 1995 almanac since we know what it is saying, right? WhisperToMe (talk) 16:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- I don't see why not. The almanac has an OCLC listing (an an ISBN, I think?) which should be sufficient for citation purposes. Yngvarr 19:59, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Robin Wayne Bailey
![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/48px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Robin Wayne Bailey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hey, I noticed you haven't gotten much in the way of reviews from the review you requested way back in November. I'm trying to clear out some of the backlog there, are you still interested in a review? Or should I work on a different one? Figured I'd ask since it's so old & you may have lost interest or something :-P Peace, delldot on a public computer talk 04:06, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Was going to be something but...
Was going to do a long thing on the newest arbitration case to do with character and episode articles and whatever notability or cruft may be associated but no, it's just me being unhappy with the case putting a halt on a stupid, useless one-shot listing list of incredibly minor characters which was going the way of "Keep" anyway. The arbitration matters to me as it'll affect my ability to crush the articles of crap more for a fanwiki than here and that is all. Can't say much more, one of the guys involved helped us to get rid of the KND and Foster's article bloat so I'm on his side for this. --treelo talk 00:55, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- So I see that issue is still going on... I followed it for a little while, but it's just more drama, and I ended up removing ANI from my watchlist. That's where I first caught wind of it. Well, in any event, with ArbCom pending, the AFD will be open for a long time. I've added my opinion, for what it's worth. Yngvarr 01:34, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yup, still ongoing and this won't do much either as it's more a policy change that's required over that which they got going now as it's achingly unclear on much. I'm expecting a holdout for a while with this deletion sitting there like a broken elevator and can join my everlasting sockpuppetry case. Thanks ArbCom for letting the idiot fans win... again. --treelo talk 01:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Nice, result was 'Keep' for my AfD as "the arguments for keeping were stronger" which kinda points out the major flaw in WP:SPINOUT, think a chunk of an article is cruddy, bringing the remainder down but need to get rid of it? Give it it's own article and it'll survive if the parent is good, irregardless of true article quality! Pah, shows should only have at least 3 articles, main, major character list, episode list and maybe some episode articles if they're particularly important and that's it. No farking about with useless minor villans lists like that one, they just don't exist. Enough griping, time to add a merge tag so I can trim it with respect. --treelo talk 21:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

- I'm blaming the article creator, had they not mentioned the fact it was a space conscious split the article may have very well got a vote of delete. Guess they mistook "take out" to mean "make a new article" instead of the Mafiosi sort. I dunno, the guy who spun the article off just sounded like a complete idiot who was simply pissed at the idea of his precious nonsense article being up for deletion again knowing it was deadwood. No matter, I will get shot of this unsinkable thing which only survived due to a guideline through judicious use of clipping away until it's all gone. --treelo talk 22:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Greymatter
Hi - I've been away for a few days, but I think I've put the required notice on the Greymatter page now, although it seems to be redirecting to a page Grey matter now? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by The original kiden (talk • contribs) 16:06, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- There are a few things that need to be considered:
- First, make sure that you have an e-mail address on your account. If there are concerns about copyright, someone from the Wikipedia Foundation may contact you. You can set that in your Special:Preferences. You may need to enable e-mail from other users, but I am not sure. Since it's the Foundation who may contact you, they can probably get your e-mail address as long as it's in the account profile (even if invisible).
- Second, you also need to make sure that the band complies with notability, which is at WP:BAND. That is fairly self-explanatory. If the band doesn't meet those requirements, it may be deleted under WP:CSD#A7, or taken up for deletion debate. I won't get in your way, if you choose to proceed, but I am just trying to be helpful.
- Almost last, but not, you might want to add a GFDL disclaimer on the website. It doesn't need to be in-your-face, but somewhere that can be seen. This point is just a suggestion, something I myself would consider, but I am not sure if it's required, as long as you've granted permission here.
- Finally, if you're comfortable with those issues, you'll want to revert the redirect, and re-edit the article in question. You can see the history at [9], and you'd pretty much just want to undo the last entry that is a redirect. That'll take it to the last version, which is the copyright notice, so you'll want to edit it pretty fast before someone else tags or deletes it. Yngvarr (c) 16:15, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Never file SSP cases
I have never had much success with sockpuppetry cases, every one I have is often very stale by the time someone gets around to it. Last one I filed didn't even get touched for 10 days or so, aren't these things usually supposed to be actioned on within a few days even with an interested admin being informed? Meh, same as for RFCUs, also incredibly slow and likely to be Stale when action gets taken. Damn you Wikipedia for having such slow methods to combat some vandals when others get action within hours! Either that or Rlvese has taken a dislike towards me and not said anything. treelo talk 23:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yea, somewhere along the RCFU it even says that they need to be processed fairly fast, otherwise the data will be lost. It is a PITA. I've pretty much removed my activity from most of the admin areas, because it's ludicrous everything that's involved... Yngvarr (c) 00:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- The administrative procedures have become slow, blundering behemoths crushed under its own weight. Add to that the red tape, ignoring WP:IGNORE for much of the time and yes, the cabal (as it's pretty much impossible for something community based with a hierarchy which has existed for so long on the internet to not have created one) you end up with problems which drive people like us away from much of the administrative areas. We'd be good but why do it? Still got a pdsychopathic vandal on the loose, articles that shouldn't exist exist even after an AfD (got a CfD now which has no responses on a page filled with responses to other CfDs) and so much else that maybe it's time for my wikibreak again... or something... Uh, what are we talking about? treelo talk 11:09, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- So I see it finally got resolved, altho it almost feels like the closing admin just "did it". I guess you needed to dangle a carrot or something. Yngvarr (c) 10:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Shouldn't have to do that though, I can understand Rlevse's reasoning about him not getting involved as he had adopted GEM and couldn't really maintain a neutral ground on it. Though I'm real glad the checkuser paid off and got most of GJ's IPs a one to two year block I'm very annoyed that I had to mention it to get any movement. Hm, mark it down as one of those weird things that goes on here I guess. treelo talk 11:36, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, get this. Got to admire the little asslick, bowing out as if he left of his own accord and could use the account again and still holding up the pretense of being some kid caught in the crossfire. Maybe he'll end up like the Legend of G and end up part of "the colective" after talking to GJ, I know Rhode Island is small but it isn't that small. Seriously though, I really don't think indef blocked sockpuppets should be allowed to edit their own talkpages for this reason, allows them a means to spread their disinformation and hate, doubt I could get all the sockpuppet's pages fully protected but worth a shot though it's not really blatant vandalism like abusing the unblock tag and usually don't protect fully unless that's the case. treelo talk 16:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well, that's worth a bit of a chuckle. I'd even call that cheeky. But if there was any doubt about GEM, there's probably none now. Any genuinely innocent user accused of SSP, blocked, etc, will usually put up more of a fight or argument. As for the page prot on the talk page, I don't have any diffs, but I do know that, in the past, admins have fully page-protected the talk pages of blocked/socked editors. You might just have to dig thru history of RPP to find a precedent. Addendum: User:WoW is the quintessential example, and that one is fully-PP'ed. Yngvarr (c) 17:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Can't always fall back to WoW for precedent, he's infamous whilst GJ is merely a mentally unstable/deficient kid with internet access having a psychotic episode/war with someone on a website. Heck, I wouldn't even goto User:Grawp for precendent and he's made his mark well known. GJ isn't worthy of being called a WoW or a Grawp, he's much too small fry for that and knows it. He's a tricky one in that each time he returns he gets a whole new idea which makes up the reasonable doubt I've mentioned before but he's also intensely dumb and multiple personalities whilst cute also make you look a dumbass when they're all clearly the FUCKING SAME PERSON! Ugh, kid needs to get laid or something. To be totally upfront I simply don't care for the retard, I know he's reading so let it be known I'm not paranoid when someone's so damn obvious with their attempts to attack me (for what? If I ever beat someone near to death in real life then they can attack me but not for catching them doing something they shouldn't) they may as well have gone around with User:I'M NOT PART OF THE COLECTIVE OR GREG, REALLY. I'm as emotionally involved with him than I am with any other vandal I've handled in the past and that's a big ol' nothing but procedure. Also, vandals are vandals when they do more than the wiki version of writing "Greg wuz here" on someone's wall otherwise they're just pathetic and should find a new hobby.
- Well, that's worth a bit of a chuckle. I'd even call that cheeky. But if there was any doubt about GEM, there's probably none now. Any genuinely innocent user accused of SSP, blocked, etc, will usually put up more of a fight or argument. As for the page prot on the talk page, I don't have any diffs, but I do know that, in the past, admins have fully page-protected the talk pages of blocked/socked editors. You might just have to dig thru history of RPP to find a precedent. Addendum: User:WoW is the quintessential example, and that one is fully-PP'ed. Yngvarr (c) 17:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, get this. Got to admire the little asslick, bowing out as if he left of his own accord and could use the account again and still holding up the pretense of being some kid caught in the crossfire. Maybe he'll end up like the Legend of G and end up part of "the colective" after talking to GJ, I know Rhode Island is small but it isn't that small. Seriously though, I really don't think indef blocked sockpuppets should be allowed to edit their own talkpages for this reason, allows them a means to spread their disinformation and hate, doubt I could get all the sockpuppet's pages fully protected but worth a shot though it's not really blatant vandalism like abusing the unblock tag and usually don't protect fully unless that's the case. treelo talk 16:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Shouldn't have to do that though, I can understand Rlevse's reasoning about him not getting involved as he had adopted GEM and couldn't really maintain a neutral ground on it. Though I'm real glad the checkuser paid off and got most of GJ's IPs a one to two year block I'm very annoyed that I had to mention it to get any movement. Hm, mark it down as one of those weird things that goes on here I guess. treelo talk 11:36, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- So I see it finally got resolved, altho it almost feels like the closing admin just "did it". I guess you needed to dangle a carrot or something. Yngvarr (c) 10:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- The administrative procedures have become slow, blundering behemoths crushed under its own weight. Add to that the red tape, ignoring WP:IGNORE for much of the time and yes, the cabal (as it's pretty much impossible for something community based with a hierarchy which has existed for so long on the internet to not have created one) you end up with problems which drive people like us away from much of the administrative areas. We'd be good but why do it? Still got a pdsychopathic vandal on the loose, articles that shouldn't exist exist even after an AfD (got a CfD now which has no responses on a page filled with responses to other CfDs) and so much else that maybe it's time for my wikibreak again... or something... Uh, what are we talking about? treelo talk 11:09, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Back to my thing though, I figured that indef-blocked sockpuppets had their talkpages PP'd as par for procedure. If not, why? A checkuser confirms that a sockpuppet has been operating, gets blocked but the admin doing this doesn't protect any page whatsoever when they really should. They can't appeal so why do that? treelo talk 17:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

requesting input
Noticed the ol' Wikiproject page is looking a bit shabby these days, know I'd be against joining if that's how things were. So, because I'm out of good things to do I've decided to go and play around with what we've got even though it means using chunks of layout and procedure common to WP:LGBT. Of course, I'm asking your for input on this as you're the only other regular that seems to be firing on all cylinders. When I say input, I do mean work on it, not just mentioning "that's fine" in passing as I really hate working alone on collaborative things and I know, you wouldn't just say little and move on but I want more ideas and a second pair of eyes on how this should look and work.
Feel free to use the talkpage for the sandboxes and even take code from other project's homearticles you like because what I've got is only framework and would love for anyone to put their two pence in on this as even though we're small fry dealing with small fry subject matter and articles I want for us to at least look like we can run with the big fish if/when we grow. Sandboxes at the new place or at least navigational at the old one. treelo talk 17:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine...
- Just kidding. That's pretty steep, it'll take a little bit of time to digest everything. I'll try to tweak up what I can, and have a few ideas already simmering. Yngvarr (c) 18:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Sure it's big, covers a lot of ground and I was actually thinking of using WP:VG as the starting point and that's a kingproject of several smaller ones so yeah, could have been a lot bigger. I'll discuss anything further on the sandbox talkpage but I've got doubt about this, what if all this framework and infrastructure building gets unused? I don't want a repeat of the todo list again! Maybe we should attempt a recruitment drive again, the pool seems to have shrunk of recent times but there's got to be a few who give half a damn, hasn't there? I dislike collaborative efforts when it's just two people collaborating in any meaningful way, maybe we should expand what we do to a adult swim project or taskforce, does mean a whole new pool to fish in. Just trying to find a way forward... again. treelo talk 18:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- I see it as catch-22. People see the project with two active members, and decide not to join. More activity, more members. And how to get more members? More activity! This might be a good jump-start, tho. We'll work up the framework a little bit more, put it all in place, and decide how to attract more people. As you know, there is tons of work that can be done by people of varying skills (i.e. I've been wanting to deal with the categories for some time, but never seem to get around it). How do other projects attract more members? And keep the (ahem) undesirables at bay or at least under some sort of control? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yngvarr (talk • contribs) 15:05, June 6, 2008
- It is a bit, isn't it? I decided to do this because I think it's been a bit neglected given the way it feels like the life has fallen out of the project. We should keep working on the framework further, I really do want to run our own in-project FAC so we can finally say that one of our articles is GA status if only within our small little world, I've mentioned something about that on the sandbox talkpage. There is lots of work to do, just hard putting down what and where isn't it? Member attraction for other projects seems to work on either headhunting the good editors and offering incentives like barnstars for those who generally do good work. If we do want to keep those who will work against the project even with good faith implied like the fanboi element we get as well as the generally illiterate, maybe some form of vetting system might be useful. How exactly you'd implement something like that though is a question for someone who knows more. treelo talk 19:50, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

- Does the WP council even handle things like new if copied infrastructures? Possibly not worth it. As for going live, I might do so in the next day or so but feel free to.. ugh, be bold.. and do it if it seems like the most logical step.
If we're archiving the talkpage, start a new archive, archival bot limits them to a workable 40kb and the most recent is neat that.After a rework you could put the current talkpage into archive #4 without being too big. treelo talk 02:17, 8 June 2008 (UTC)- Well, I got caught up in other things and now it's too late for me to do anything of import.

Chowder (TV series)
Thanks for helping me out on the Chowder article. I just got drawn into the cartoon last week, but I'm really enjoying it. There are lots of parts that still need fleshing out, although I'm not sure as to how exactly (for instance, I think the intro is a little too short now). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:21, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- Well, the show is still fairly new, only 14 episodes have been aired so far. Compare The Simpsons with almost 20 seasons, and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, with only three episodes and what appears to be a cloistered producer (I can't find pretty much zip about Van Orman). It might just take time for development. I don't know if you have it watchlisted, but be prepared for some heavy minutia, especially with a new episode tonight. By the way, if you do like Chowder, you might like Flapjack, too. It airs directly after Chowder. I have a feeling that it's a bit more high-brow than Cartoon Network's usual fare. Yngvarr (c) 21:29, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I have Chowder's page watchlisted. That's a good point about the show's age; I would imagine that it would take a few more months before there're enough sources to actually get it to GA status. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:52, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

whuzza?
So, I've seen the term skein used quite often around. Had to run a search just in order to find out what it meant and lo, it's a Variety terminology and I hate Variety for inventing a language which is impenetrable even to those who do know it.
Riddle me this, why do we use "skein" in reference to a TV show when it's not obvious what "skein" is? Appears in the intro for Cartoon Network (US) and... well, nowhere else.. Um, I'll just go change it. treelo radda 23:03, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Well, you've trigged a personal passion of mine, which I don't really delve into here on Wikipedia. I love words, especially etymology. I've heard the word before, but never in that context, and yea, I'd delete it because it sounds like something stupid anyways. OED gives three defs:
- n(1) A quantity of thread or yarn, CA 1440
- n(2) A split of osier after being dressed for use in fine basket-work.
- v To make into skeins
- (dictionary.com gives a few more, but for some reason I trust OED a little more)
- As for n(2), all I can say is wtf? Some sort of wood, I guess. But none of them make sense in that context... Yngvarr (c) 23:18, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Aha, great! If you need a trip into hell when it comes to sentences which you know are made up of English words but not in that particular order then read Variety. Osier, well, our very own gives it being a branch of the willow tree so a willow branch which has been prepped for basketry, simple. The change has been made and I never knew one week my usual thing of leaving out most summaries or being very practical and actually explaining what I did has now just turned into strange little messages. I'm blaming either you or the otter kid. treelo radda 23:26, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

(merp) Just spent a really odd hour or so following odd links through the maze of stubs that makes up the Disney theme parks and resorts bloc of Wikipedia. I feel I want that hour back, yet oddly feel a "magic" sort of vibe which makes me happy though having never set foot in what feels like it'd be as packed as a roach hut but more upbeat to even it out. Maybe it's something I'm not getting. Oh, seems our friend Chowder and his wonderful oteri have added to the 1000. treelo radda 01:05, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I saw the 10 otters additions, and you're right. I've tried to stalk him, but I get out of breath. He must drink a lot of red bull. Yngvarr (t) (c) 01:16, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
- He has otters, man. OTTERS! 'Course you can't catch him, he's like the wind. Still, don't look as it's interesting, just not that interesting if you understand. Not being one to buy into the whole "believing Disney is somewhat corrupt and evil makes you counterculture and super-cool to everyone" I'll probably go, keep my pessimistic rage on the outside without acting it on it and say it was OK even though right through the 5 day spectacular of being fairly close to VIP level guests I was floating around in a near comatose state of ennui and melancholia.

The story itself is something for you to pose to Chowder (I'm seeing a pattern). Yknow, I've seen you screw up so many times I get flummoxed but I get to use it a lot being still in fairly common usage here, was actually looking to get in ennui and there you go.

I normally dislike the nutshell boxes: They so often take a complex and nuanced idea and turn it into a sad parody. In many cases the page was long because making it any shorter would make it miss something important, so by adding a nutshell box we are tacitly approving the misunderstanding. In this case, however, I think you've done a good thing. The page has a simple straight forward meaning which your nutshell box captures almost completely. The target audience of the page is not likely to read much more. Very good. Thanks. --Gmaxwell (talk) 19:01, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Good work on prosifying the critical reception section.

Your attention, loafer
Got two things or you to be updated on:
- Remember that ANI you filed for User:FalconPunch2? Well, it hasn't exactly disappeared and it'd be nice if you updated some of the guys there on it. I've done you a solid and notified FP2 of the incident as well as weighed in on their POV pushing (which makes me think this might have been better for WP:RFCC but that's a slow-moving train wreck in my opinion) so all is left to you to fill in others on your concerns with diffs by golly.
- Noticed a few of your undo summaries end mid-se. Might want to work on that, cut out the link to the user's talk if neccesary, usually a 20 character gain there.
Well, there you go, now get at it as the wikibreak is over and WP:DGAF no longer applies to an editor like you who clearly does give a fuck. treelo radda 21:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

- Yeppers, know what you mean. Wonder what it is that makes you forget about wanting to be an admin... For me, it's the slightly cliquey feel about it. treelo radda 13:53, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

(merp) Few observations, The majority of the vocal Chowder fans are raving fangirls (why fangirls specifically I don't know) inclined to shipping as you'd expect and for whatever reason, a spelling error for Will Reiss' name is in the titles for The Apprentice Games. Yes, I am simply that lost for things to say right now. treelo radda 22:53, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- The shippers don't entirely surprise me, given the whole "I'm not your boyfriend thing". But I've not been seeing too much, other than Shnizel's girlfriend thing. Have you been trolling fan forums? I am surprised about the fangirl thing. It's not a typical type of cartoon for that kind of attraction. Yngvarr (t) (c) 23:14, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- You don't need to troll the forums, just read some of the comments on Nerd Armada to get an idea. I mean, some were really gunning for a Cerviche/Gorgonzola ship until Carl mentioned later that Cerviche was male (I don't understand how you could confuse him for female) so no shippery there. The fangirl thing I'm surprised by also as there isn't anything that stands out as specifically girly about it but it does play a fairly non gender specific line so I'd say it has a more even split than most shows do which either get one gender or the other. It's gradually getting more leftfield I think, Apprentice Games really did show just where it might go in season 2 as that episode is incredibly bizzare even for Chowder. treelo radda 23:24, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yea, but isn't the bizarreness great? The last cartoon I liked with that kind of in-your-face oddness was Zim, and look at what happened there... But that's neither here nor there. I actually haven't been reading many of the comments on Nerd Armada. I tend to just read Carl's main postings, toss in an occasional comment which doesn't really need a follow-up. But now you've got me curious. Yngvarr (t) (c) 23:32, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
(merp, whatever that means) Ugh, I *(#@$ing hated Zim. That was way too random. And dark. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!) 00:32, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- Ahem, WP:NOT#CENSOR? Anyway, I'll not disagree that Zim was really random and dark but that sort of humour and theme you just don't see in animated series or at least not to that level and you can't beat the following it has. I'd compare it to Zim much like Gorgy does but just not as dark but equally if not more random. Merp means undent, if instead I use my usual language it'd still mean merp as it's been one of my favoured terms since I first heard it. treelo radda 09:04, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

- Hmm, I do love just how bizzare it is because I can't second guess it and even makes me feel a little uncomfortable as they play with the character dynamics and throw several curveballs. If you're feeling like reading the comments, do so but I simply can't, reading all those moronic comments make me die a little inside and the SNR is far too low with every 1 in 20 being any bit worthwhile. treelo radda 23:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
