Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:09, 23 February 2007

.....And I just came here to give you a barnstar for your boldness and humanity--Doc 13:28, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

About bloody time too. And, when it stays dead, I'll know Misplaced Pages has matured!--Doc 13:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Daniel Brandt

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Daniel Brandt. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. --Cat out 14:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Umm... WTF is going on? I can understand the desire to get rid of that cesspool, but unilaterally deleting the article and the talk is not the way. Can you provide any reason why I shouldn't undelete? Zocky | picture popups 15:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

He seems to have gone for now - we are currently discussing this on DRV, perhaps you'd like to contribute to that.--Doc 15:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

If there is any sentence, any word in that entire article that violates BLP, please point it out. The article itself is not libellous, but the personal attacks you made in deleting it are quite offensive. —freak(talk) 16:32, Feb. 23, 2007 (UTC)

Freak, this isn't about the rules. The rules don't exist, the rules were made to endorse kids who giggle and torment people when they can. This is the most absurd thing I've ever seen. We are not almighty, we are not great, Jimmy Wales is not god, you need to think and ask if someone who very few people knew outside of this is worth keeping if they have personal wishes. I for one, would not want a Misplaced Pages article. This whole thing is magnificent in theory, but it's gone out of control, it's time to harness everything and fix this goddamn mess.

Sorry, but you don't get to decide that alone, because you alone can't do that. It takes very many people. The reason that this project has managed to survive so far (and not to mention, make a good encyclopedia out of nothing) is that we mostly work hard on not pissing each other off too much. Your contribution today was harmful to the project, and it would do you well to think hard before pulling off something like that again. Zocky | picture popups 19:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

If he was deciding *alone* then he'd have been overturned and that'd be the end. In fact, many many people are endorsing and supporting the decision.--Doc 19:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Not nearly many enough to write and run Misplaced Pages on their own. Zocky | picture popups 20:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Agreed

You get the second award granted in 2 days. People who count mostly think you are right. I suspect you know this. Hipocrite - «Talk» 16:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

wow

I'm shocked that you've had the balls to open a Can of worms twice in three days. First one makes sense, but your outright deletion of Daniel Brandt shocks me, as controversial things just can't be outright deleted like that. Your actions are actually starting to scare me. That doesn't mean you're wrong, your decision will probably end up right, but still.--Wizardman 17:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Seems like it. then again I wish i could do that, heh. Sure your actions are shocking, but I respect your decisions. Whether or not I end up suporting your deletion I at least respect your guts in makign tough decisions.--Wizardman 18:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Expression of support

I wanted to stop by and say that I for one continue to love and respect you, and will support you no matter where you go with this. Please rely on me for assistance moral and strategic. - NYC JD (make a motion) 18:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

For the deletion of the Daniel Brandt article

You have balls the size of Wisconsin. —Signed, your friendly neighborhood MessedRocker. 19:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Your words on the Daniel Brandt article

First presentation of the Wise Old Owl Award – for when a few words of wisdom change the course of events for the better. You spoke from a deeper place that isn't in policy, though maybe it will be. Tyrenius 21:39, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Civil

Where? Sorry, I certainly dont want to be uncivil to you and apologize if you took a cooment of mine in this way. You and I are on different sides of the political fence but I dont wish you any personal malice. I wish I knew exactly what had happened at DB. There will be a big fallout. Personally I wish you the best, and politically we are very much in opposition, I couldnt disagree with you more striongly. Cheers! SqueakBox 21:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar.

• Rouge admin barnstar. For a shining example of the BOLD part of BOLD/revert/discuss.

But now it's time to undelete it and take it to AFD to get it properly ratified. --Random832 21:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Officialdom

I am being pressured to take this DB case to arbcom and while I am considering my decision I have concluded that you are the one responsible, ie acting in a way inappropriate for an admin (and this is a friendly letting you know), SqueakBox 21:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Job well done

You have my full and unconditional support, for having the cojones to do something I thought should have been done a long time ago - WP:BOLDly get this silly, sordid and time-wasting affair over with. Excellent work. FCYTravis 21:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
