Revision as of 20:45, 1 February 2009

This user is a member of the Misplaced Pages Ultra Secret Inner Inner Cabal, a cabal so secret that not only am I not allowed to know who the other members are, I am not even allowed to know if there are any other members, and if I ever did find out that anyone else was a member I would have to kill them immediately.
You can contact WUSIIC on #wikipedia-ultra-secret-inner-inner-cabal on Freenode. As a courtesy you are requested to kill yourself afterwards. |
If you are going to be a dick, please be a giant dick, so we can ban you quickly and save time. Thank you so much.
 | This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries. |

I check in most evenings, and occasionally some days during the day. I am on UK time (I can see Greenwich Royal Observatory from my office). If you post a reply at 8pm EST and get no reply by 10pm, it's likely because I'm asleep. My wiki interests at the moment are limited. I still handle some OTRS tickets. You can find me on facebook: my profile. Please include your WP username if sending a friend request.
Dispute resolution, Bible style - and actually an excellent model on Misplaced Pages as well.
If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
— Matthew 18:15
Please do not try to provoke me to anger, it's not difficult to do, so it's not in the least bit clever, and experience indicates that some at least who deliberately make my life more miserable than it needs to be, have been banned and stayed that way. Make an effort to assume good faith and let's see if we can't get along. Guy (Help!) 22:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Just saying...
Fuck you're a cranky bastard. I've said so several times in the last few days. Yet somehow I've always found you strangely appealing.
Much love (but in a safe, manly way)

- Ha! Damn right. I can be very cranky indeed, especially when I am under time pressures and tight deadlines (which I am right now). Thanks for reminding me to count to ten before clicking Save :-) Guy (Help!) 14:36, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Talk:Cold fusion
Hey, I was just about to semiprotect Talk:Cold fusion when you beat me to it. Great minds etc. Anyhow, I was wondering if you'd mind if I backed the protection down to 1-2 weeks, rather than 6 months. Since it's a talk page, it might make sense to go in small increments. I'll take responsibility for re-semiprotecting the page if the usual suspects start disrupting it again after the semiprotection expires. Anyhow, just wanted to check with you.

Just to say...
AWstats rocks! And the log rollup perl script is marvellous. Now all my esx server logs can be combined! Guy (Help!) 22:28, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Why? Why? Why?
Why did you delete 'PINGAS'? Was a redirect that offensive for you to delete it? It was just a redirect to Doctor Eggman in other media#Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, where the 'PINGAS' phrase comes from. Is that 'pure vandalism'? Ambil (talk) 01:20, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

EXPLANATION DEMANDED
Can you please provide me with a satisfactory explanation as to why you deleted my entry 'Squrgers'. There is no copyright infringement as the material was written by ME, yes it was from the website you mentioned but this is MY website. Therefore how can i be breaching copyright when the material BELONGS to ME? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Squrger (talk • contribs) 13:21, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- (just passing by) Any text inserted into Misplaced Pages is released by its author under "GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover Texts.". That website has no copyright notice anywhere saying it's licensed under a GFDL-compatible license, and JzG can't read your mind and know that you are the owner of that website.
- You have to put a note on your website saying something like "I release the text on this website under GFDL so it can be used by wikipedia". Or, if you don't want to do that, then maybe it would be easir to put a note on your website saying "User "Squrger" on wikipedia has permission to use any text from this website in wikipedia articles under GFDL."
- Also, notice that, even after getting over the copyright problems, you still have to show how the "Squrger" guideline complies with the notability guideline. You need to provide reliable independient third-party sources (usually newspaper reports, like the NewCastle Chronicle report on your website). So be prepared to dig out any newspapers item in which Squrger appears and present them on the article --Enric Naval (talk) 17:12, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Demanding stuff always works well. Don't forget to threaten to sue if the explanation is not to your liking. And write to your Congressman letting him know how evil it is that Misplaced Pages deletes stuff without proof of copyright release - I'm sure that we can get a law passed making it mandatory to leave all material on Misplaced Pages indefinitely if someone says it is theirs, even though we've had people tell us some outrageous fibs about that in the past.
- Mind you, the fact that the deleted content was also abject nonsense, utterly failed every policy we have, and was almost certainly advertising as well, does rather weaken your case. Guy (Help!) 23:07, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Aw, come on, Guy. Squrgers contain no scrotums. Surely that counts for something? Bishonen | talk 23:21, 31 January 2009 (UTC).
Cthulhu Nation deletion
Yes, it had been recreated. The original vote to delete was based (iirc) on a lack of reliable sources and unclear notability. The new version of the article (i.e., the one that was just deleted) was necessarily similar to the originally-deleted version - but had made a genuine effort to address the RS/notability concerns. As such, does it really fall under CSD:G4? - "provided the copy is substantially identical to the deleted version and that any changes in the recreated page do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted." That is, was it really "substantially identical"? - Jaeger5432 | Talk 23:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Try a sourced userspace rewrite and DRV, that is the best method. Otherwise crap which was delete dis always likely to be deleted again when it's re-created, because we have had too many bad experiences with obsessive fans gaming the system by writing New! IMPROVED!! articles which are not quite the same. Guy (Help!) 23:20, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
