Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 00:14, 10 January 2008

Welcome to my talk page! I tend to reply to messages directly on here, so I suggest watching my page if you're looking for a reply. I watch user talk pages I comment on so we can keep conversations organized.

Discussion notice

Thanks, I'll take a look. --Bobak (talk) 22:51, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: RFPP

There was a valid reason: there are some good IP editors out there, e.g. 68.39.174.238 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). I wasn't trying to be disruptive, or make a WP:POINT.

I hope you have a good Christmas and that we can get on in 2008! --Solumeiras 17:36, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but those articles are semi-protected for a reason. The second that they are unprotected will lead to a huge, massive influx of vandalism. There already are huge amounts of vandalism on those pages from sleeper accounts that wait until they are a few days old before they commit the vandalism. There is no reason that these should be protected for quite some time. Metros (talk) 17:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

• OK, I understand it now, Metros. It was silly of me to suggest it. I know you and me haven't got on, but in 2008, can we try and get on?? For the record, though, I have been an IP editor before so I understand their frustration at not being able to edit certain articles. Thanks for your advice, --Solumeiras 17:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Deletion discussion response

We recieved this message: "A album that features (to quote the article) "mostly unheard independent musicians." There is no notability for this record as far as I can see. In addition, the user who created this article is Stonecutter Records (talk · contribs) which happens to also be the name of the label who released the album. Metros (talk) 19:06, 20 December 2007 (UTC)"

The remainder of the sentence reads: "...it also carries some star power with songs from Marty Casey & Lovehammers, and Howard Levy."

I can go into more depth about how Marty Casey came in 2nd place on "Rockstar: INXS", how Howard Levy is a legendary harmonica player, who co-founded Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, or how Andreas Kapsalis composed the film score for the popular documentary Black Gold

These are credible musicians and a credible project. Please do not delete this article, I can add this information to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stonecutter Records (talk • contribs)

"We" refers to myself and a colleague who have interest in the label. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stonecutter Records (talk • contribs)

Offensive

Can you please not inform me that I am using Misplaced Pages as a blog, I really find that rude. Can you not do that again? I have also deleted your notice. Nillanilla3ee Talk 21:44, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

• OK, I will try to contriibute more.

Nillanilla3ee Talk 21:50, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

FYI

The page protection for the talk page of 76.247.222.101 (talk · contribs) has expired before the block expired and he is currently deleting stuff off the Talk page. I'm not familiar with this particular editor and since you are the blocking admin, I thought you would like to know about it. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 09:16, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

ChampionMart MfD

Can i just ask how it is contradictory.  Sunderland06  14:47, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

One ChampionMart MFD you say it needs to be kept with the strongest keep possible. Then on Vintei's MFD you said that ChampionMart is "a waste of space." So in one instance you say it's great and needs to be kept and in another you said it's crap and only wastes space on Misplaced Pages. Totally contradictory. Metros (talk) 14:51, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

if i did say that ChampionMart is a waste of space then it is defiently a typing error.  Sunderland06  14:53, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

This is why you need to make sure you communicate clearly. In the future, please re-read your comments before you post them and consider using a spell checker. You seem to have a lot of grammatical and spelling errors that will cause people to have less respect for you on Misplaced Pages. Metros (talk) 14:58, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

There's a stopping point

Read my comment on ANI. --Gp75motorsports 15:18, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

What are you talking about with the "there's a stopping point"? As in a stopping point when you'll finally stop making user space edits that keep getting deleted by MFD and start making productive edits to the article space on a more regular basis? When is that coming? I'd like to be able to let everyone else know so we can celebrate the fact that we no longer have to deal with the stupidity of !voting on your MFDs on a weekly basis. Metros (talk) 15:21, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Re:Warning

I did not deserve the warning you gave me. I really was doing some typo fixing to your talk page.  iXela  talk  15:32, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't matter. You were editing someone else's comments. If that user wants the edit fixed, they'll fix it themselves. Metros (talk) 15:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Your block of Gp75motorsports

This was a manifestly excessive block of a good-faith user who was not being intentionally disruptive. I will reduce the block to 48 hours; personally I don't think you should have blocked at all, but I don't plan to wheel-war over this. (Further discussion should take place at the ANI thread, but I felt I should notify you personally of my opinion on this matter.) Walton 18:03, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I didn't block him. Metros (talk) 18:04, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, wrong user talk page. Honest mistake. Walton 18:06, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/User:Vintei/shop

Why did you nominated shops to be deleted? I am going to tell you something: The goal of a shop is to help users (specially newcomers), not to earn money, or build an emporium of shops. Please read: WP:WWIN Macy's123 19:56, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

If you'd like to know why I nominated these for deletion, please read my nomination statement in the MfDs. Metros (talk) 19:58, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

About Ace Ferella

"Far-fetched" isnt the word you are looking for. You see, there are thousands of professional wrestlers that wrestle at the age of 16 before there high school diploma's are actually finished, and they have a huge success with it, going on from independent promotions to wrestling paying careers. Gary, however, DOES wrestle at the UPWA, but hasnt shown up much recently. As for "Far-fetched" at the age of 16, in North Carolina if you havent known, there limit of age is 16 years old. Not 18 years old like most states. I would be more than glad if you can remove the warning on my article now, and thank you.

--Blast325 (talk) 21:36, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Show us some sources that say he's notable and we will keep the article, but none of that exists right now. Metros (talk) 21:40, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

If you would actually look at the bottom of the article, it gives you the official site of the UPWA. All of the wrestlers I've used as names that have faced against Ace Ferella are real names, and it shows proof on the home page of UPWA. --Blast325 (talk) 21:57, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Where are the sources that show where he wrestled against them and earned his titles? By the way, you argue that he's able to compete now because he's 16 and 16 is the age you can wrestle professionally at...so what about the part in the article where you say he first started wrestling in 2006, so before he was even 15 he was wrestling? Metros (talk) 22:03, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Gary isnt as important as you think he is. He doesnt come on every day for a on-air show of CBS, or anything like that. Yes, most fortunately he was wrestling in 2006, like I said he had a friend named John who helped him actually get into the South Bend Wrestling Association. He absolutely loved professional wrestling at that point and would do any thing to be in the ring. The owner accepted his form, and let him into the first independent promotion he was ever in. Also, I am his sports agent, and if you want I have a camera that I can take a picture of him right now and post it onto that article. I could tell him right now, if you want me to? The bad thing is he is sleeping at this point in my house, though. --Blast325 (talk) 22:16, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Shops

If you really want to delete these, here's another one: http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Runewiki777/shop Enjoy, eh?-- Vintei  Talk  00:15, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

• Do you want more shops? clic here. Isn't your goal to destroy shops? Macy's123 10:17, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Please be civil, he doesn't want you to leave, he just thinks that shops might be too distracting. Marlith 22:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Maybe this guy's talk page should be deleted and salted or something, he's completely nuts :-/ --Closedmouth (talk) 08:19, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Deletion discussion

Can you please stop replying to all the deletion discussions that I attend in?  iXela  talk  16:36, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I've commented in two you've commented in. The first one is obvious for me to reply in since I'm the one who initiated it. The second one makes sense because it's based on the same principles that I nominated the other shops. So, no, I will not stop commenting there. Metros (talk) 16:46, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Reply

Well, he shouldn't of deleted my page without a fair and just discussion about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikimarruttman (talk • contribs)

He was clearly correct in his judgment of your article. Being upset with someone's actions does not give you a right to be disruptive and blank his talk page. Metros (talk) 17:53, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Re:

Yes, thank you very much!IslaamMaged126 (talk) 17:52, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Smileys?

I did? Did you check the diffs? I know I didn't remove the smileys and I was joking about the signature. Yes, you were being difficult, and yes there was a warrant for WP:Dick. Yamakiri 12-23-2007 20:16:52

Yes you did. You removed about a dozen smilies it looks like. And I wasn't the one who left the comment that you called difficult. And like I said, his comments there were not difficult and were valid concerns. Also, you need to tone down your siganture a bit, thanks, Metros (talk) 20:19, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, that's what that button does... Seriously! I've got alot of buttons up top of my screen, and I must've used the tab index somehow. Sorry for getting you confused with Mr.Z. Please see User:Yamakiri/monobook.js, and User:Yamakiri on Firefox/deluxe.js. User talk:Yamakiri 12-23-2007 20:27:17

And why exactly am I looking at your monobook? And why did you substitute your user links onto here? Metros (talk) 20:31, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

To show you I wasn't lying. Thank you for doing your "job" of sorts as an admin. User:Yamakiri 12-23-2007 20:41:31

Please don't post that annoying signature here again. Thanks, Metros (talk) 20:43, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Not to start a "thing" and out of curiousity...why don't you like strange and slightly unusual signatures? Just curious. Take Care and Merry Christmas...User:Neutralhomer 20:46, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Unnecessary clutter. Metros (talk) 20:49, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Sure thing! But only since it's Christmas. Pré tell (I think that's how you put the French expression). User:Yamakiri 20:52, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't referring to the child, I was referring to the massive blue cropping job. Metros (talk) 22:29, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

"Be gentle" still applies.  :-) That editor seems to be having trouble with using images on Misplaced Pages. Could you lend a hand? --Una Smith (talk) 23:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment/question

I don't think my shop is the same as Vintei's shop and therefore shouldn't be included in Vintei/shop's Mfd. If you think my shop should be deleted, could you please make a new MFD for it? RuneWiki 00:50, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Another thing. If my shop was just signature creation/making would it be ok? RuneWiki 00:55, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

It was not my intention.

I'm sorry if i've caused an offense, it not my intention and i am trying to help out in articles like the one which I'm currently working on Spellforce 2: Dragon Storm and sometimes i do tend to ask help on users talk page if i don't know what to do, and I'm sorry. SKYNET (talk) 15:50, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

It's okay to use the talk pages to ask for help on these articles, but all I see out of you is socializing and making your user space and signatures look better. That is not what Misplaced Pages is meant for. Like I said, you have 700+ edits to user spaces but 14 to the articles. Metros (talk) 15:52, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm trying to find things to do, like fixing typo errors, or other things. SKYNET (talk) 15:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Well good. I suggest you do that for awhile. Since my warning to you several minutes ago, you've made 16 edits and all of them have been to user spaces including 6 related to your online status and 1 related to your signature. Metros (talk) 15:57, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: 2007 Oregon State Beavers Football Team.

I apologize. Can you help me find some sources, because I really want my team to be recognized. Tech43 (talk) 18:16, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I am truly sorry for my poor editing skills. I'm just not very good. Metros, give me some advice on how to improve. I really do want to improve. Tech43 (talk) 18:18, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Try talking to the editors at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject College football. They could give you ideas about how to improve the Beavers article. Metros (talk) 18:20, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and did you take a look at my earlier contributions to this site? I actually did do good things for NASCAR articles. Can you please acknowledge this? Because you kind of made me want to quit this site. I've almost lost my passion. All thanks to you. Tech43 (talk)

I also wanted to inform you that I did put my stuff back on there, because I feel that I was making positive contributions to this site. I don't why you don't like me. What did I do to you. I have been on this site for 19 months, I have created 4 articles, and yet YOU spit on that! Well, guess what? I am a good contibutor. I'm not here all the time, OK? I don't have time time to focus very much, ok? I TRY to get better yet you insult me for no good reason? Give me an explanation of why you don't like anything I do. Tech43 (talk) 18:41, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Because your edits are not appropriate in that state. You cannot go around talking about how a victory is a "nice win" or how they "crush" the opponents. You have to stick to a neutral point of view and use sourced facts and not your personal commentary. Metros (talk) 18:42, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok, what if I went back, and I added more neutral commentary? Would that work? Tech43 (talk) 18:45, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Do you have sources to back up what you're saying? Metros (talk) 18:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to go try find some. I don't how to make links to other pages. Teach me. Contrary to my name I know nothing about technology. Tech43 (talk) 18:48, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Two good places to start are Misplaced Pages:Citing_sources and Misplaced Pages:Citation_templates. These give you a good idea on how to format your sources into these articles. Metros (talk) 18:50, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Oh, and sorry for my outburst earlier. I have a bad temper sometimes. Tech43 (talk) 18:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Personal commentary

As you removed my personal commentary and only mine, I must question why the edit that I made was singled out for your own editing, and why the rest of the page Talk:Jamie Lynn Spears remains dripping with personal commentary. Zchris87v 04:56, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Concern

Hello, Metros. Thanks for protecting Category talk:Suspected Misplaced Pages sockpuppets of TougHHead. But I have concern for this, because the protection template states that "If you cannot edit this page and you wish to make a change, you can discuss changes on the talk page, request unprotection, log in, or create an account." Perhaps you could un-protect the talk page in a while? Thanks.

PS, sorry TougHHead keeps making immature socks to harass you. JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 02:00, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessary. The protection of the category page is only semi and the only IP users that have used it so far (and will likely be the only ones who'd ever want to use it) have been TougHHead's IPs. If it becomes an issue, I will reconsider, but I don't think it's a necessary change to make. Metros (talk) 02:07, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Improvement

Metros, I wanted to say thank you. When you told me I spent too much time socializing, and not enough time editing, you did a good thing. I realized, I wasn't being a very good member of this community. Thanks to your message, and our arguement thingie, I have commited myself to being better at this site. I really have made some good contributions lately, and while i'm still talking to people, i'm working too. You probaly don't care very much, but I just wanted to say thank you anyways. Sayonarra, Tech43 (talk) 02:56, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Page protection

Sorry for requesting that, it's just I haven't got a copy of MediaWiki 1.12 to download so I can't actually test the new feature! --Solumeiras 15:46, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

It's not your personal testing ground. We implement it when necessary, not when you feel like seeing what it looks like. Metros (talk) 15:56, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for that. Just got myself a WAMP server, use it for running my personal wiki. If I want to create pages on non-notable things, it's an alternative outlet for such things, safely on 127.0.0.1. Apologies for that page protection thing. I've just started getting back into mainspace editing again, which can only be a good thing. As regards these "shops" on MfD, well, I agree with your points made about them. If I created a page about infoboxes and how to use them in my userspace, would that get on Miscellany for deletion or do you think the community would allow it?? But it's certainly true, that for the most part, these things lean too much towards community-building. It's all about balance, isn't it?? --Solumeiras 18:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

If you want citations, why the hell do you remove them after they are put in place? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk • contribs)

No, I didn't remove any of your references. I just properly formatted them. So check your facts before you get to yelling at other editors. Also, I see nothing on the page you're linking to as a reference that provides any of that information. Metros (talk) 17:39, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, now I better understand, but what did distract me was the "citation needed" template. If it's cited n references, why does it still need a citation? Does it need more citations? I'll get more I guess. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 17:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I see nothing on that page that you're linking to that gives any of the information that you placed in the article. Where, for example, is the information about the awards? Or the information about the hurricane which destroy part of the facility? Metros (talk) 17:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Destroy part of the faculty? That's not exactly what I meant, the practice area was damaged, not the team or instructors who used the practice area. And I apologize for the confusion, that link was incorrect, clicking the "Clubs & Activities" icon on that page pulls up what you're looking for. Although http://www.yourcharlotteschools.net/schools/pchs/clubs.htm is displayed when following the link, the URL http://www.yourcharlotteschools.net/schools/pchs/frames.htm will still show in the address bar. Various clubs and groups, including NJROTC and MUN, will be found on this page. About PCHS can be found at http://www.yourcharlotteschools.net/schools/pchs/aboutpchs.htm. How did you convert the references to the "proper format"?

I never said "destroy part of the faculty;" I said "destroy part of the facility." Your citations need to point directly to the information you're talking about. It can't be "here's a link to this page and if you click a link there it'll bring you to this page which will then bring you to this page for this information." So if there NJROTC information is at a particular web page, please link directly to that as your resource and directly to the relevant pages. Metros (talk) 18:10, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

You also cannot copy and paste information from that website to here. Metros (talk) 18:14, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey

I call every one a waste of sperm meaning that the comment they make is like there child and its a waste of time and space that they to try and vandalize pages.--DarkFierceDeityLink 20:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC) And why am I on your watch page(the thing with Jamie lyn spears was my sister who doesnt like her b/c she is having a baby.)

Yes, which is why it's a personal attack and inappropriate. Metros (talk) 20:18, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

How the hell is it a personal attack if the person who really is being an idiot and inappropriate messing something up that other people read this is why wikipedia is not allowed in school reports for idiots who mess things up and i call there comment a waste of sperm maybe the person who writes the comments is a waste of sperm also and i dont know why i'm getting yelled at i changed half the stuff idits put and you can check your self also i even asked help v/c the moron kept putting it back pn.--DarkFierceDeityLink 20:24, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Because you're not supposed to sink down to their level. If you keep going around calling them "idiots," "morons," or "wastes of sperm," or any other incivility, you will be blocked. Metros (talk) 20:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

EveryDayJoe45 this guy right he said something to me that was rude and I really don't see anyone removing his text or giving him a prosonal attack thing explain that to me.--DarkFierceDeityLink 19:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I left a message to that user about personal attacks. But, you need to apologize to EveryDayJoe45 for your nonsense. You warned him for vandalism on an article that, as far as I can tell, he has never edited before. You called him a waste of sperm. You were nothing but incivil to him. You owe him an apology. Metros (talk) 19:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Commentary

Yeah I thought about that as I was posting it. Pretty much true, but probably not necessary in a resolved tag ;-) Avruchtalk 20:36, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

User: Technogreek43

That is me. You see Metros, I am throwing that name away. I was putting my page back up. It was my page after all. I'm trying to redeem nmyself right now. Don't ruin it for me. 98.161.53.217 (talk) 02:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

If you want to edit your user page, use your user account. There's no need to be editing it through an IP. To see another user editing someone else's user page like that appears to be vandalism which is why it was reverted. Metros (talk) 02:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Alright. i will log in 1 lat time, and revert back to when I was active. I'm sorry that I'm leaving. Before i fade off, I want to wish you and your family a safe and happy new year. That will be all. 98.161.53.217 (talk) 02:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Friends with template

I don't know - I guess people generally have wider latitude in userboxes stored in userspace than templates stored in template space. I don't think the box/template is really necessary, but if I wanted to delete it from his userspace that seems like it'd be an MfD issue. Also - he has added it to his userspace, but it still exists as a template (appropriately, since the TfD isn't over). The template should be deleted regardless. Avruchtalk 04:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Argh, thats irritating. Damn AWB. Avruchtalk 05:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

User's using talkpages as a forum

Metros,

I'm concerned about these users,

Ichliebezuko

Lover of the sand

VampiricCat

Oreo lover

A pyrate's life for me...

They are constantly using their talkpages as a forum, i've been monitoring them for awhile and they have disobeyed your warning. →Yun-Yuuzhan→ 17:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I did it for a reason

That warning you gave me was unnecasary. I did that for a reason. You see, this user is my brother, and he has decided to leave Misplaced Pages. I put the Retired thing up because he asked me to. It was not vandalism. User:Nillanilla3ee 23:53, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

He can sign in and do it himself if he wants. Metros (talk) 23:54, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

FYI

Nothing bad yet, but after his unblock, User:Neutralhomer has resumed his stalking of my contribs, as shown here on a page he's never edited before. I don't want to "tattle", but this is how everything has started the last few times. JPG-GR (talk) 19:17, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

and he has re-added the abusive header to his talkpage. β 22:01, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Which I have nominated for deletion at Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/User talk:Neutralhomer/TopDeely a minute or two before your post. Thanks though, Metros (talk) 22:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Metros....If you don't like the header, don't post on the page. I don't think editors should have "Rouge Admin" userboxes, because they are incivil in their own right, but they aren't going anywhere. So, if you are to delete my header as incivil, you will have to do the same there...and with Calton's rules too. Gotta show some consistency in your actions, or it looks like you have it out for me. - NeutralHomer 22:15, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Blocks

After doing a quick amount of research, it appears you blocked me on January 7 at 09:33 but the block of my IP address (which is normally immediate) didn't happen until 17:49 on January 7....which would have made it not a 48 hour block, but 56 hour and 16 minute block. By my count, that would have been 8 hours and 16 minutes longer than you said...and probably an abuse of power. But again...it could have just been a computer goof. - User:Neutralhomer 23:39, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

It would have to be a computer goof, perhaps a server lag of sorts that was going on. Metros (talk) 23:44, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

The last time that happened....well, we were about 15 hours behind....and that was about 4 1/2 months ago, if memory serves me correctly. But I kinda doubt it was a server lag because IP addresses were being blocked before and after my username block (at 09:33 on 01/07) at a pretty good clip and those times "synch" up with the actual block times. So.....- User:Neutralhomer 23:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

If you could find a way to prove I somehow obtained your IP address and then blocked it 8 hours later, go for it. But that's impossible for me since I have no check user capabilities. It's also impossible because you'll see in my logs, I blocked you and no other users on that day (or since then in fact). You can also look at the block log for the IP address and see the only action in there is the lifting of the autoblock. So, no, there is no abuse involved. Metros (talk) 23:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Riiiight, big conspiracy. Lots of those going around these days. Oh, by the way, the banner has been recreated. Let's see you get this one deleted. - NeutralHomer 00:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey, why don't you stop being a dick? If you'd like a block again, I'm sure there are tons of admins who would help you out. Metros (talk) 00:10, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

How...incivil. If you want to block me on Edward R. Murrow's "Good Night and Good Luck" quote, then you go right on ahead. - NeutralHomer 00:14, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
