In Which Crafty is Scolded for Using the Eff Word in an AfD

Crafty, I was alerted to this comment of yours. Since I unblocked you, I take some responsibility for your subsequent behavior, and I don't want to see foul language. Now, I think you're kidding around, but be careful ... not everyone gets it that way, and an AfD can be fraught enough without needlessly raising the temperature. Daniel Case (talk) 11:58, 29 September 2009 (UTC) You should have kept it out. Daniel Case (talk) 18:20, 29 September 2009 (UTC) Yup I was doing teh funneh. Your advice is noted. ;) Crafty (talk) 19:40, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

ANI blather

I'm not sure I understand this (rather aggressive) comment you've made. I never endorsed John Carter's protection of his talk page, and indeed, I agree that it was inappropriate. But the dispute was largely a result of UnitAnode's actions, hence my initial post. –Juliancolton | Talk 03:01, 14 October 2009 (UTC) I'm sorry if my tone seems aggressive, but I find this stuff rather frustrating. John shouldn't have protected his talkpage, he should have sought the assistance of one of his brother admins. You need to understand that the rest of us have to put up with talkpage grief all the time and we don't have the privilege of the protect button to deal with hostile editors. Further it's this sort of carry on (and your rather bland equivocation in response to it) that is degrading the reputation of Wikipedia's administrators. Crafty (talk) 03:07, 14 October 2009 (UTC) I'm sorry you feel that way, but Wikipedia's administrators are only human, and they occasionally have lapses in judgment. JC acknowledged his fault and quickly endeavored to correct his actions. –Juliancolton | Talk 03:17, 14 October 2009 (UTC) Yeah it's funny how y'all are above reproach until there's a clusterfuck. Then you're "only human". It's an easy way to be, Julian. No wonder the ArbCom is thinning the admin ranks at a rate of knots of late. Crafty (talk) 04:08, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Allied Artists Pictures Corporation DOES still exist, Help Request =

Wordsoup

- Allied Artists Pictures Corporation is still in existence, and is unrelated to Allied Artists International per here[1]. Do you know how to dig deeper to see what is really going on here? I suggest you and everyone start out HERE - [[2]] - , by getting out your Microfishe Reader, as you will not be able to search it, and find the name Allied Artists Records. I transcribed this[[3]] - into Microsoft Word yeserday, but I do not know how to post such information on Wikipedia, after doing all that work (as a periphheral observer to a curious spectacle at first, but now a party in what you all call an edit war, in which I am out of my league). I poseted the above on the main article talk page up for deletion for NN. I believe KDR's SP is the originator of all these Allied Artists pages. But it is likely the article will be deleted entirely, leaving all of the other WarriorBoy articles associated with this still standing and hard to find. I am just a Philosopher of Mathematics, not an Encyclopedia of Corporations researcher. My best friend's father-in-law ran the Mathematics Olympiad in Gansu China, and I began to edit articles on China. So I am about as far from reality, physical or virtual, reality as it gets. I came into this because I do assistance to famous high end thinkers who are abandoned in old age, such as people going blin with macular degeneration, who need someonw to read to them the latest Journal of String Theory, etc., which the Braille Institute does not provide for, but I do. These people have minds that work fine, but their bodies are failing. I was personally helping Louis Lesser, a 93 year old man who is computer illiterate. Lesser told me, INCREDIBLY, that he used to be partners with President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in the largest urban renewal project in the history of the western United States, Barrington Plaza. Lesser said that he sold the Las Vegas New Frontier Hotel to Howard Hughes, and that he was landlord to Hughes Aircraft. Lesser said that he was mentor to Warren Buffett and Kirk Kirkorian, and others whose names i knew from the press. Lesser said that he sold the Taj Majal in New Jersey to Donald Trump, and stayed with Trump in a spare bedroom of the Trump Towers penthouse whenever he was in New York. Lesser said he was partners with so many incredible people, that I did not believe a word he said. I checked everything, and every thinkg he said turned out to be true! Then Lesser said he was a part owner, with others of historic note, Allied Artists Pictures Corporation, WHICH STILL WAS IN EXISTENCE[4]. Again, I suspended belief. Lesser said that some "crook" was trying to make others think otherwise. One of those to whom Lesser was mentor said that a convicted felon, KDR, had committed massive fraud on Union Bank, and other major banks, using the name Allied Artists, and associated names. I went to Wikipedia to get information, and found nothing but the pages of KDR's SP's. I found what seemed like hindreds of them, in a virtual fraud scheme similar to what I read in the federal indictments. I just now found this here - [5] - . What does it mean? Then I found the many newspaper articles, most from the late 70's and early 80's on microfische, on solicitation to commit murder, felony wire fraud convictions, computer fraud convictions, etc., at which point I got that CLEAR LEGAL THREAT.ChinaUpdater (talk) 16:44, 20 October 2009 (UTC) Then I found out about WikiLaw, and EditWars. Whew! I do not want a hit put out on me, like happened in one of KDR's prior convictions. Do you know anyone who can find out online what exactly is going on here? As a retired philosopher of mathematics, I am not exactly up to the task. My first efforts at joint editing ended up with the exposure of KDR, his SP's, and his MULTIPLE (hundreds of them) phony ADVERT NRS NN WIki pages. Who at Wikipedia is good at finding out who really owns this company? ChinaUpdater (talk) 16:44, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you

		The Barnstar of Good Humor
		To say the least, your userpage and talk page made me roll on the floor laughing. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 23:13, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

And thus, you will be wikistalked (just reading your edits, not being a dick), as after a long day your edits will provide me with something to make the day better. Have a good one! TheWeakWilled (T * G) 23:13, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Oooh! Bling! Ta, fanx. :) Crafty (talk) 23:22, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

User page

Your user page is hilarious. I'm guessing it's all true? — Rlevse • Talk • 23:56, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Ask Tan. Check mah block log. Review the history. Every word is true and since truth will out, I figured it would be easier to wear the Scarlet Letter and be damned. :) Crafty (talk) 00:04, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

ROFL. I checked your block log before I made the post. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:39, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Your user page is truly is hilarious. I know it is true! I'm half expecting to see you show up in my class one day. After being beaten to a bloody pulp on Sunday, reading your talk page cheered me up. I doubt you and I should ever be an admin ;) until our next meeting, Happy Editing, - Ret.Prof (talk) 15:56, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Retailing/Noticeboard

Hate to be a Grammar nazi, but this one bugs me more than anything else. "It's" = "It is." You meant "its," as in "belonging to it." Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 04:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I know, I just ignore the rule because it's' bulls'hit and I love getti'ng a rise out of Language Fuss Pot's. I'll put a'postrophe's wherever I wan't. But thanks for the Peeve-o-Gram, its made today worthwhile. Crafty (talk) 06:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

And a big thumb's up fo'r you're witty respon'se. Ten Pound Hammer, hi's otter's and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otter's • One bat • One ham'mer)} 16:57, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Alternative HIV viewpoints

Please discuss edits which remove valid sources on the talk page prior to editing. This is a POV article. The article is supposed to reflect the rationale behind the scientific dissent of HIV, not prove that HIV doesn't exits, or that it doesn't cause AIDS. Deleting references is not the way to improve an article.  Neuromancer  03:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

How about we try it this way, why don't you make a case for the inclusion of those particular "references" on the article talk page? It's not only your references that are the problem, but the POV language you're using to contextualise them, eg "clandestine" etc etc. Crafty (talk) 03:35, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Then edit the language. That's fine. Don't delete a reference.  Neuromancer  03:38, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Did you log out to revert that edit? I think you did. That's naughty and a form of sock-puppetry, you know. :) Crafty (talk) 03:40, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I reviewed that edit myself, and knowing my IP, I can assure you that it did not come from me. Have an admin run a check user if you don't believe me.  Neuromancer  04:00, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

No, no, it's fine. I'm happy to take your word for it. :) Crafty (talk) 04:07, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Here's my IP... I logged out to post this comment. 24.251.114.169 (talk) 04:11, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Now now, there's no need to go showing me your private bits. As I said, I'm happy to take your word for it. :) Crafty (talk) 04:13, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

• Didn't know you were English...  Neuromancer  04:17, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm not. Crafty (talk) 04:20, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Well then I must give you props for the proper uses of the colloquialisms of that region.  Neuromancer  04:28, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Only props? Not mad props? Ah well, at least I still have something to strive for. Crafty (talk) 04:32, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

We must all strive for something. When we reach the point of knowing everything, we know nothing... Though there may be more constructive things in life than striving to gain my "mad props."  Neuromancer  04:34, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

(unindent) Just on a whim, I checked. Those two IPs are within 25 miles of each other. FYI. JoeSmack ^Talk 20:07, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Indeed. Neuro was a bit quick to drop trou and wave his IPeeny at me. Crafty (talk) 20:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the revert on my user page. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
