The latest Ped whatever brouhaha (among other things)

That knucklehead really stirred up ahornet´s nest for no reason. The Pedophilia article was never tagged with the LGBT label--only the Pedarasty one. I guess in her mind the two are inextricably linked together, or she thought it would make a more convincing case if she linked the two. Anyway,thanks for weighing in.

Moving along, congrats on getting your press credentials. What a coup! Very exciting for you, and I really admire the photographic work you´re doing.

Isaac is back in the hospital and they think he has lymphoma, so I am stressed (writing this from the hopsital cyber cafe). We´ll have definite diagnosis next week. Hope you´re well. Jeffpw 14:29, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Anna Wilding

Hi David,

Your picture of Anna Wilding in your /Entertainers page links to Buddha Wild Monk in the Hut. I've moved this to the correct film title, with a colon after Wild, so you at least should adjust your link to that. However, as the Anna Wilding article looks to be here to stay (and is now being actively worked on by some respected editors), that linking directly to Anna Wilding would probably be better. Thanks! — Timotab 21:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi David

As I wrote earlier -- I represent Ropes & Gray and I was hoping to talk with you.

You can reach me at 781-487-4608.

Thanks, George —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.200.158 (talk) 00:11, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• George, anything that you would like to discuss regarding the Ropes & Gray article can be done here, or on Talk:Ropes and Gray. I understand that this controversy is unflattering, but it did in fact exist. If you feel the "whole story" is not told then we can discuss that. I didn't appreciate John Tuerck legally threatening me in an e-mail because a sourced, cited criticism that was news is included on the page. Misplaced Pages editors don't take kindly to threats, and to now discuss the issue with the PR firm of the subject article, frankly, doesn't sound appealing. --David Shankbone 00:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

LGBT Studies Tag for Larry Craig

Hi, I just wanted to say your rationale for including the Larry Craig article in the LGBT studies category was keen. You have a lot of great edits! Keithbrooks 09:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

If you want to file a case against me...

... go ahead. Don't think for a minute I'll be hounded off the project like THF was. Unlike THF, I don't have much in my edit history that you can twist and turn against me, so good luck. ATren 16:45, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I think your harassment is already being addressed by other people, just not by you. You harass another editor by keeping a blog of his edits called "Weiner Watch", you trumpet this proudly on your User page (half of which is taken up by this), and then you have the gall to go into an ArbCom that addresses THF's problematic edit history and rant about how he is being harassed? Seriously, this is one of the more hypocritical things I've seen on Misplaced Pages. You, who have harassed User:Avidor, another Misplaced Pages editor, and have done so for over a year by continually updating a blog criticizing him and his edits, calling him a Weiner, who use his real name on your User page, actually thinking you have any moral credibility to raise any kind of argument in that ArbCom is galling. You should be ashamed of yourself. --David Shankbone 16:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

As I said, feel free to file the case. I have nothing to hide. ATren 17:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

David, you talk about our straw men, but you continue to insist that my position is that THF did nothing wrong. I specifically told you otherwise hours ago. Please have the decency to characterize my arguments correctly. Cool Hand Luke 02:06, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Please redact

David, I think you have crossed the line with your latest post. I think you should strike the stuff referring to THF's chin, which is entirely inappropriate and excessive. I understand the point you are trying to make, but it is inappropriate nonetheless and you should remove it. There are other ways to make that analogy. ATren 17:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• It's completely appropriate since it was said by Wikidea, not me, and that comment itself has been an extreme focus of the ArbCom and oft-discussed. --David Shankbone 18:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• And you don't think there's other ways to make a point about Ken Avidor besides calling him a Weiner? --David Shankbone 18:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

And did you ever consider that if I wanted to call him a wiener (note, "i before e, except after c") I would have named it "Wiener Watch"? Do you know anything about that dispute?

Now, really, you should remove what you wrote. THF is gone, and regardless of the point you are trying to make, you should not be using such language. ATren 18:12, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

ATren, once again, you have little moral credibility here, considering your mocking the intelligence of another editor for over a year. The example is illustrative and apt. Your concern has been noted, and discarded. --David Shankbone 18:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

David, please don't forget to apologize, too! In fact, let me save everyone some time. "I do not accept David's apology as it was not sincere and can't possibly serve to undo the horrendous, reprehensible, vile attacks on someone's chin, which caused untold anguish, rending of garments, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. In fact, because the apology is so inadequate, I now favor David being drawn and quartered and having his entrails roasted on a brazier before his very eyes." Ossified 22:16, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Anna Wilding

I emailed the contact of that website, when Tonyx123 was claiming the permission to use the images. Instead of using the email address that Tony provided, I researched and that website had one that I used. I missed that it was a fansite at first, so emailed anyway. The reply I got was, well... I could forward it to you, but it's clearly written in the same style as a certain irate person who has been editing recently. — Timotab 21:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• I understand, but that editor is also acting on behalf of Wilding (I spoke with her on the phone). I have to get out of here - I'll put some more work into the article, which clearly needs a good deal of work. I may do an interview with Wilding that might help alleviate some of the problems the article has. --David Shankbone 21:10, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• raises eyebrows* you've spoken to Wilding personally? Interesting. And thanks, I look forward to hearing more from you. — Timotab 21:15, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Did you tell her they are doing a piss poor job of representing her? If I was paying someone who wrote so poorly to write about me, I would hope someone would kindly tell me. I hope you sent her a print, also. My son loves her picture also. KP Botany 19:56, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

If she has some influence over some editors on Misplaced Pages, perhaps she could suggest that they tone it down a bit. We all want the best Anna Wilding article and we have a long proven process of getting to that. Aggressive behavior never leads to that, however. -- Jreferee 20:25, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank thee, Thy DavidShankBoneness! :)

Smile a little, smile a little, all along the road; Every life must have its burden, every heart its load. Why sit down in gloom and darkness with your grief to sup? As you drink Fate's bitter tonic, smile across the cup. Smile upon the troubled pilgrims whom you pass and meet; Frowns are thorns, and smiles are blossoms, oft for weary feet. Do not make the way seem harder by a sullen face; Smile a little, smile a little, brighten up the place. Smile upon your undone labour; not for one who grieves O'er his task waits wealth or glory; he who smiles achieves. Though you meet with loss and sorrow in the passing years, Smile a little, smile a little... even through your tears! Ella Wheeler Wilcox My dear David, if nobody has told you you're cute, funny, kind, nice, hard working, and all-around awesome, now some weird girl has! :) Tons of love, Phaedriel 07:27, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Pornography lead image

Hi David Shankbone. Your name came up when I was discussing ideas for a better lead image in the pornography article. If you have any suggestions, your input would be appreciated. --The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 13:38, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Anna Wilding

Hi David. I'm glad you took an interest in the Anna Wilding article. I received a request on my talk page to look into the article. If you think upping the protection will help bring the article under control or that I can assist in any other way, please let me know. Thanks. -- Jreferee 19:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

An interview, LOL. Get some good info and good photos. I think the article can support several free photos so long as they represent different aspects of her life. See if she will release a childhood photo or two. That really would be great for the article. If you are in a photo with her, there is no reason that could not be use in the article as well. And, see if she has a press clipping folder. She is likely to have the early news articles on her that are not otherwise available. Also, tell her hi from the gang at Misplaced Pages. -- Jreferee 20:18, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Albert Reed

Hi David. I wrote the Albert Reed article because someone posted on the internet that this guys was so unknown, he didn't even have his own Misplaced Pages page. He's a model. Because this guys soon will be on TV in front of millions of people, I saw a great opportunity to boost Misplaced Pages's credibility. He will be appearing on Dancing with the Stars on September 24, 2007 and thousands of people will be saying to themselves, who is this guy. They'll head to their computer and pull up the Misplaced Pages page. Misplaced Pages has the most extensive information on this guy anywhere and I am hoping they come away with a positive impression of Misplaced Pages. I also like the irony that he will be the least known person on Dancing with the Stars and yet has the best Misplaced Pages page. The Albert Reed page lacks a photo. I've been in contact with Reed's people trying to get a photo for the page, but have not been successful. Would you see if you can snap a photo of this guy so that it can be posted to the article before he appears on TV on Monday, September 24, 2007? He's probably practicing his dance right now, perhaps in New York. He has reps in New York.IMG and INNOVATIVE ARTISTS TALENT. He has a MySpace page and an official website where he lists his activities and can be contacted. Thanks. -- Jreferee 05:28, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
