Two-Face dead

Now that Aaron Eckhart confirms Two-Face is dead, doesn't it make you feel like a bit of a waste? I mean, after all those conspiracy theories you and your Adam West/Tim Burton freaks were making over the "ambiguous" fate of Two-face, doesn't it seem like you just should've saved your time and gone with common sense? After all, you really thought Christopher Nolan would pull an unrealistic stunt like bringing Two-Face back to life? What, did you want a death certificate to go with the ending. A funeral wasn't enough? Geeky Randy (talk) 06:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Two-Face GA

I saw your topic about trying to get Two-Face to being a GA. I haven't edited the article much, but I really like Two-Face, so if there's anything I can do to help to improve the article let me know. Thanks.--CyberGhostface (talk) 00:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

You funny man!

Regarding your comments on the AfD for Canyon of the Vaginas - you are too funny! :-D Ecoleetage (talk) 01:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Teen Titans

The One Year Later section of Teen Titans vol 3 in this article is too long. There is no need to summarize every arc in this ongoing series. You undid my edit, and i was just wondering why you feel it's important to keep all of that information. I see it as unnecessary and was simply trying to keep the article as a whole balanced and what i see as a reasonable length

As a side note, i don't think "in shambles" is informal language, but that doesn't really matter, you can use in disarray or anything else that seems more formal to you.

let me know what you think

Green Hulk vs. Red Hulk

I know it would be logical to say that who the writers want to win will win but can you give me your opinion on who would win a fight between the Red and Green Hulk and why? I would like it be an in-universe style. Thanks!! The K.O. King (talk) 01:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Sigh

... you're probably right. That doesn't mean I want to hear it right now. Maybe later. --Blechnic (talk) 00:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Yo man, don't spazz yourself. If you'd given me a million bucks five minutes ago I would have wished for gold so it would have hurt more when I hit you with it.  ; Thanks for trying, though. --Blechnic (talk) 00:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

"So leave it"

What is up with that? If the tank in the film says it than so be it and I accept I was in error. I don't remember it saying that and there wasn't any sort of citation that I could check at the time.I think it also said "Weapon Zero" which would mean that according to the various retcons of Marvel history that it is in fact the original serum. I'm just trying to get the contents of the article correct like everyone else and would appreciate people giving me the same understanding and civility that I try to offer (although admittedly I don't always get it right either). Jasynnash2 (talk) 12:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Interferring

Hi TX,

Is SA "interferring" or is he just removing what he considers to be a personal attack? Let's face it, because SA is "on the nose" it seems that then it's open slather for comments that are unacceptable in articlespaces to be acceptable in projectspace. SA should be well within his rights to remove it, particularly as admins don't seem interested in backing up their CIVIL concerns....save were it comes to not blocking altmed advocates. Shot info (talk) 01:56, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, I must admit, I didn't expect you to respond at all. However I know of SA, and I've seen the personal attacks on him go on, and on and on, until he does something that all of a sudden makes people sit up and notice (for example, rvv Lugwids). Now that masks the actual personal attack unfortunately and I note that admins still aren't doing anything about it. O well. I guess the Community wants more civil pov pushers rather than slightly less than civil editors who provide good content. Sighhh Shot info (talk) 03:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Reception sections

Hi there. You said that you "oppose the prosification... of RT stats as a lazy way to write a reactions/reception section" over at The Dark Knight article. As it happens, several of us have come up with an amendment to WP:MOSFILM, which can be viewed on the MOSFILM talk page. If you have any comments or suggestions, we'd like to hear them. Thanks, Steve 19:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Fringe theories/Noticeboard

While your contributions to the noticeboard are appreciated, I hope you aren't offended by my reminding you to please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. The discussions at WP:FTN are by their nature controversial, and often become heated. It's best to closely follow talk page guidelines and keep a cool head even when you think others are not. --Ronz (talk) 22:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

NYScholar

What the hell is with this "it"? There's something far more sinister at work here. I don't know what it is...but it goes deep. --Stuthomas4 (talk) 23:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Can't we get them at least to take a break. There have to be some guidelines on our side here. --Stuthomas4 (talk) 23:49, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Do not talk about that editor. Addressing that editor directly or indirectly is a violation of all =policies, according to that editor. In fact, do not address me either, for the same reason. I am NOT addressing anyone in this not-a-reply. (more to the point, he's already screaming policy till he's blue in the face. whatever, ignore him. I'm ignoring the entire thing now.) ThuranX (talk) 23:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

I did like your last argument though. Gave me a laugh. But this DID NOT HAPPEN. I was never here. --Stuthomas4 (talk) 00:47, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for backing me up. That kind of attitude makes me more thankful for the kind of collaboration that can exist between you, me, Alientraveller, Steve, etc. Hopefully, this won't turn any uglier than it already is. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 01:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I know you don't want to talk about this, but sorry about the rude comments. :-( Originally I only wanted to tell "it" that he didn't have to write so much, but I wrote it quite rudely and screwed myself over. I guess "it" was quite angry at me, and that's why "it" said I was stupid. Acutally I laughed for quite a while when I read what he said, lol. I guess the Scholar and I are even, in regards to rude comments... Corn.u.co.pia ŢĐЌ Disc.us.sion 07:03, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

What I think

Well, ThuranX, I have way too much time on my hands as I am a completely unbusy person, so I'll keep this short. I have been lurking the AN/I boards for the past month or so after I've finished with my vandal watch list, and I've never ever seen anyone not gain a soft-hearted supporter on there no matter how troublesome or black of heart, at least, not until now. (Feel free to archive this the minute I finish typing it, and answer back in the archives. ;) ) Aunt Entropy (talk) 00:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

For what it's worth, the soft-hearted supporter as often as not tends to be me, and I guess maybe I was a little lenient here. John Carter (talk) 00:45, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused by Aunt Entropy's meaning. Am I breing called softhearted, or is she saying no one's being soft hearted to NYScholar? or that invariably someone arrives to 'go easy' on offenders? As to Jon, I think you've been adequately fair. You're outside this abit, and helping bring a responsible closure. not soft at all. ThuranX (talk) 01:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

No, sorry about the confusion. From what I see on AN/I invariably even the most tenditious editor will gain a supporter. That was the first case where the claimant absolutely had no one to support him. That says something about the claimant right there. And I agree, JC did good, overall a wise decision. Aunt Entropy (talk) 18:20, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Bruce Wayne

Yeah, I came across that article when it was linked in the Smallville article. It needs some major clean up. It's heavily unsourced, and contains a lot of misguided information that was fueld by fan rumors (like the bit about Adam Knight that I removed). I don't have a lot of time nowadays (working 70+ hours a week) because of my internship--I can barely find the time to clean up the character page I created--but if you want to work together to clean up that article that would be great. I know they mention the show briefly in the Smallville: Season 1 Companion book that I have. I'm sure there is more information on the web somewhere.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:14, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

One important thing is that we'll have to replace all those kryptonsite and batman-on-film sources (unless they are direct interviews), because they are fansites and not 100% reliable.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Understandable. When I get a chance I'll skim through that book and grab whatever mentionings of Bruce Wayne there are....wait a minute......there is a brief mention of it at the Smallville page. Well, that helps out some. But I'll re-skim the book to see if there was anything I left out because it wasn't entirely relevant to the Smallville article. (Off to do a quick copy/paste job before I got to bed).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:23, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh, no "studies" per say. My internship (which is me counseling a bunch of substance abusing adolescents) and my full time job are all that I have this summer. But, rest is always a good thing and something I'm not getting enough of...speaking of which. I added that stuff and cut some other info (there is some contradictory things in there...hopefully we'll be able to piece it together)....and now I'm off to bed. Cheers.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

There's no policy on it. At worst it would be two articles that state the same information, requiring us to ditch one of them (er...that would end up being the Bruce Wayne article if that happens). Eventually, once we get enough we'll reword things to read better in this article and it won't matter that the same information is presented elsewhere.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 11:48, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Barefoot Bandit/Creepy Crawler at AN/I

Hi,

Ya, I'm not sure if barefoot guy and creepy are the same person; I don't remember at what point I came to think they were the same person and why, but I'm sure my reasoning was excellent at the time : ) They have some overlapping interest regarding editing comic pages, but that might be where it stops (my other explanation is that Creepy's interests changed over time, but given the 2008 reports I'm seeing that doesn't seem to be the case). Unfortunately there's now the unenviable task of sorting out who is creepy and who is barefoot guy, if they're different. I hate sockpuppets. WLU (talk) 12:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Archiving assistance

ThuranX, hi, would it be alright if I setup an archivebot for your page? It's currently over 170K, and some people's browsers start having trouble with anything over 32K. But I could set up a bot that would automatically archive threads that had been inactive for a certain amount of time (30 days?) and then you would have to worry about it anymore. Let me know, --Elonka 19:25, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

I appreciate your perspective - just wanted some balance... Best, A Sniper (talk) 22:44, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Batman Begins

Hi, please explain the reference's reliability at Misplaced Pages:Peer review/Batman Begins/archive2. Thanks. Gary King (talk) 19:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Cheers, thanks Gary King (talk) 20:15, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

re:dethklok

Hopefully the article can stay like that ;). A couple more months, and that article would have likely been tagged for deletion by grim reaper :x or a deltionist. Thanks for the help. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  18:05, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

I would not consider you a deletionist - I think your more on the lines of an exclusionist. A deletionist would have taken one look at the article, and taken it to AFD :p I posted some suggestions to re-improve the article back in may, but some novice editor bogged down the idea. Instead, I worked on the article in one of my sub pages until I felt I had trimmed out the dead weight. :p --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  18:11, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

re: Misplaced Pages Reform School

Can't help but notice that there are quite a few editors in the corrective mentorship program, and it seems to be expanding greatly day by day. Is there a list of editors and their mentors somewhere to keep track? Or is it up to involved editors who've had to deal with these people in the past to follow up on these mentorships? Aunt Entropy (talk) 20:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I have no clue. VIllage Pump or Help Desk might know. ThuranX (talk) 20:31, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Warning

Please don't continue to breach WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL at the discussion on the block of Traditional Unionist at ANI. Referring to other editors as "terroristic" is totally unacceptable and any repeat will result in sanctions being taken against you. Regards Sarah777 (talk) 00:44, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Nice ambiguous use of the apostrophe there. I never referred to the editors as terroristic, but to the idiotic content dispute. They've (Numerous editors) expanded the stupid irish conflict here to Misplaced Pages. It's asinine, and it should be locked down hard. Unfortunately, too many editors and admins have chosen sides, many long before WP ever hit a server, and they push it here. It's disgusting to give any bytes to soapboxing for folks supporting either side of that shit. Those two gamed 3RR, and they're being rewarded for it. It's plain and simple to see that. ThuranX (talk) 04:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

These comments/summaries were past civil. Please improve your behavior, or your account access will be blocked. --Elonka 22:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Bullshit, he insulted me for giving input, suggesting I'm some how an involved editor. Snide replies aren't needed. You had better be putting a civility warning on his page too. Further, get another admin from now on, given how many AN/I thread I'm on the opposite side of the fence from you at. ThuranX (talk) 22:55, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

And as to the second, going in circles over and over is fucking stupid. there's no prohibition on Misplaced Pages about foul language, remember, WP:NOT#CENSORED. Calling things as I see them is not incivil. ThuranX (talk) 22:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

If you can give me diffs of where you feel that MastCell has violated WP:CIVIL, I will definitely take a look at them. --Elonka 23:13, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

What? IO reply to your warning and you block me for it? After I oppposed you in the Zero G thread at AN/I??? You're an involved admin already involved in conflicts with Mastcell and others, and this is revenge for tellign you all to go elsewhere with your fights. This is a vendetta, plain and simple, and as for a diff, It's really clear that Mastcell is insulting me when he 'thanks' me then asks for "uninvolved" editors to also comment. I am uninvolved in that problem on Obama pages, but because i, an uninvolved editor, came in and didn't side with him, he insulted me. that you've only blocked me for three hours shows you know that the block is wrong. ThuranX (talk) 23:18, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

{{unblock|Per request for unblock by offended party over apparent misunderstanding. John Carter (talk) 23:46, 21 July 2008 (UTC)}}

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): Per request for unblock by offended party. We all make mistakes, and it looks like the phrasing was bad here, but it was evidently just a mistake, possibly on both MastCell's and ThuranX's side. Gross incivility after a perceived insult is unfortunately common. Let's try to forget it and ensure it doesn't happen again, OK? The block could maybe be more damaging in the long run than the comments that prompted them. Let's all try to avoid such potentially dubious language in the future, and let's let it go at that, OK? John Carter (talk) 23:46, 21 July 2008 (UTC) Request handled by: John Carter (talk) 23:46, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

This has nothing to do with any Zero G thread on ANI, as I'm not even sure what your position is on that one. This is about WP:CIVIL and how you have been violating it, not just with MastCell, but also in other locations. I would be willing to consider lifting the block, if you would be willing to promise to stop with the profanity, and to try and adopt a more professional style of communication. If this is acceptable, please put your agreement into your own words, thanks. --Elonka 23:33, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

To Elonka: I realize I may have jumped the gun here, and apologize. For what it's worth, I unblocked before your response above, based on MastCell's comments below. I realize I may be seen to have been out of line by doing so, and apologize for not having consulted you in advance, as I should. I do however think that the misunderstanding should be forgotten as what it was. John Carter (talk) 23:46, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the unblock, John Carter. (ERB fan?) ThuranX (talk) 23:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

My apologies for the delay, by the way. I think I edited the block about 3 seconds before Elonka's response, and had to revise all the comments thereafter to take it into account. John Carter (talk) 23:55, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Bad form, John Carter. I was in the process of posting a more detailed message with diffs of multiple uncivil comments, but you unblocked without even a courtesy note to my talkpage, in a violation of WP:WHEEL. To be more specific, just over the last 8 hours, this is the kind of thing that ThuranX has been saying:

• "fucking stupid"
• "bullshit"
• "go to hell", "drop off the earth"
• "tough shit"
• "stupidity"
• "sappy emotional crud"

ThuranX, my warning stands. If you are uncivil again, I will re-block. --Elonka 00:01, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

{{having one of those non-unblock unblock problems, i think an IPBlock? ThuranX (talk) 23:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)}}

Try it now, I cleared the autoblock. Just fyi, the template to request an autoblock unblock is here. Dreadstar † 00:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Reading through the above thread, just thought I'd point out that WP:NOTCENSORED applies to article content and not editor behavior. That's covered by WP:CIV - and most of the comments Elonka specified above do violate that policy. Dreadstar † 01:05, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Tony Stark dated Vicki Vale?

Like heck.. :o) and if he did do you think DC noticed? Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:16, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

On my way to hell...

Hey, I'm sorry, I think we misunderstood each other. I was being sincere when I thanked you for your input. I only wanted to encourage other involved editors to chime in as well, rather than hearing more from Workerbee74 et al. I sense that you interpreted this as me dismissing your input, when that was not what I meant at all. The trials of online communication. Anyhow, I of course regard you as uninvolved in that particular situation, and I appreciated you taking the time to comment. I'm sorry it came across otherwise - please trust me that it was a misunderstanding and possibly poor choice of italicization on my part, rather than dismissal of your input, which I value. Hope there are no hard feelings. Now I'm off to hell... MastCell  23:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh shit... I just realized you were blocked, above. Look, this is all a huge misunderstanding - I absolutely did not mean my comment in the way you interpreted it, but I can understand why you read it that way. And no hard feelings - if I'd thought I was being snidely dismissed after uninvolved input was solicited, I'd be mad too. I support an immediate unblock, I apologize for my part in this misunderstanding, and I hope there are no hard feelings. MastCell  23:24, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. ThuranX (talk) 23:28, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

. MastCell  23:32, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Clearly, I misunderstood. Thank you for the offer to unblock, as well. Very gracious of you. ThuranX (talk) 23:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Double entry

Sorry about the double entry in Man-bat. I think its images are beautiful. I have my own Man-bat in the place of honour! Mig (talk) 02:23, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Insinuation

Read how you classified the "professor" and how you classified the "aisle jockey", then compare those classifications to how you want to define "series" and how I want to define "series". You basically referred to yourself as a professor and me as an aisle jockey. The insult is there, whether it was intentional or not.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 05:10, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

My good faith was in the fact that I figured the insult was not a purposeful attack on me, but maybe you carrying over your frustration from the incident with Elonka and her premature blocking of you. Either way, you pretty much lumped my argument in with the aisle jockey...lol.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 05:10, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't find any of this funny. I'm trying to get a solid distinction built here about what can and should constitute a series of films, not insult an editor who I regularly state I enjoy working with. However, it's seems you're no longer interested in such a collegial relationship on wikipedia. If that's the case, I wish you the best. ThuranX (talk) 05:16, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I was merely trying to explain how I interpreted the situation and you're getting pissed off about it. Look, I'm working 70+ hours a week right now, trying to get my internship hours down before I graduate, I don't really need this type of drama. For clarities sake, I took your metaphor as a insult to me because of you chose to use my side of the argument as a mirror for an aisle jockey. I understand that was not your intention, hence why I did ask for an apology after you stated that very thing. My response to you was to try and explain what I interpreted as an insult. Instead, you chose to take it all like I stabbed you in the back. I apologize for misreading your statement. Have a good day. I'm off to bed so that I can go work 10 hours tomorrow without falling asleep.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 05:24, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

new category.

Your new category is essentially a duplicate of the category Golden Age superheroes. Please consider reverting and MfD'ing the category. Thank you. ThuranX (talk) 22:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi. i understand yiour point, and i aprpeciate your open constructive way of discussing this. however, my goal with this category is to group all superheroes who are still currently being published. the golden age category contains dozens of superheroes, many of them no longer published. by grouping all suprhroes who have been published continuously since 1950, we can perhaps have a grouping which will be very relevant. thanks. --Steve, Sm8900 (talk) 13:54, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

WP:TABOO

Hi. Interested in your thoughts on this. Peter Damian (talk) 18:33, 22 July 2008 (UTC).

Chris Long (American football)

I do appreciate your input but I must disagree. If wikipedia is a democracy then you are right, However, if a so-called majority does not consensus build, which means taking the steps, then they have no consensus. I must repsectfully disagree. I think you maybem perhaps, think a disagreement should be settled by majority. I think you may know that this is not a democracy and what really is occuring is a few editors who want to WP:OWN an article are simply overwhelming good-faith edits.

One other note, did you read the quote on the WP:ANI page? Did it not say "Don't revert good faith edits"? What is yourview on that?72.0.36.36 (talk) 20:38, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I have to asked why should I be blocked for a disagreement? I said I disagreed. That's all. It seems like blocking someone should be for a violation of this rules. I have oly reverted twice. I think you may be a little senstive here. No one accused you of anyhting. I pointed out that you may be in error. That cannot be a reason for a block can it?72.0.36.36 (talk) 20:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Read WP:TE. It's ablockable breach of policy. ThuranX (talk) 20:52, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

72.0.36.36, you say "taking the steps" for building consensus, but what steps are you advocating? All I hear you doing is repeating the same things over and over about "majority" and "incivility" without taking any additional steps for building consensus or listening to anything that anyone has to say. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:13, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Who is a Jew?

Thanks. The article is a mess, and I normally stay away from it, but that stuff was so egregious I had to do something. Jayjg 02:10, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

I disagree that removing the term "Jewish" in this context is delegitimizing their claim to being Jewish. In this context though it is a change to neutralize the issue.Ewawer (talk) 10:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Comment of the week

		In recognition of comment. That made me laugh and, after reading the first sentence, I thought my boss had turned up, had started editing and would soon be on my talk page to yell at me, again. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 06:13, 25 July 2008 (UTC) (about the award)

If I did it correctly it should be a perma link. The other way to do it is this but that doesn't show the difference correctly. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 15:31, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

No response

No response at AN3? Did you bother to look at the case? Four administrators, including myself, found no 3RR violation given that they are over the spread of three days and given who was reporting it. seicer | talk | contribs 16:55, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Dark Knight

The relationship between Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent is one of rivalry for the affections of Rachel Dawes, and as a consequence, Wayne needs Dent to replace Batman. "Stated in film" doesn't mean anything, because nothing is ever "stated" in films, there is simply dialogue between characters. The respect between Wayne and Dent is a component of the fact that Wayne wants to retire from being Batman so Rachel will agree to be with him, which is why he needs Dent to replace him in the public's eyes, which is why he threw the fundraiser. Bottom line: they were never friends. They are rivals for Rachel Dawes. Their relationship is a consequence of their rivalry, and the rivalry is one of the two central conflicts of the film. When you insist on describing the conflict as a "strained friendship", you insist on an incorrect description of the relationship and an incorrect summary of the film.

Cap

My edit summary got cut off, then when I went to insert a comma, I got a "file conflict" notice, so the progression of editing got confused. The full edit summary should have read, "Subbed 'the uniform's mask' for both 'Captain America's mask' (parallel construction, but word echo) or 'Steve Rogers' mask' (potentially confusing since it's part of the same uniform)."

But I can see your point that saying only "the uniform's mask" suggests it might not be real.

The clearest thing, word echo or no, is "Captain America's mask."

Two-Face

The key to all this is keeping it as simple as possible. Remvoe as much plot info as possible and keep it as out-of-universe as possible. Also, Eckhart expressing interest in reprising the role is moot, because there are presently no plans for the next movie and well, it's just Eckhart saying what he'd like to happen.

That IGN link needs to go. All it is is a columnist speculating about what mgith happen in the next movie. WesleyDodds (talk) 05:25, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't think there should be any mention of the character's fate, be it in The Dark Knight or Batman Forever or what have you, since that sort of thing is best dealt with in the plot summaries of the main articles. I feel more strongly about the Eckhart quote. I really think it should go since it doesn't tell us anything about the character. It's an actor saying "Gee, I hope I get to do the same role again", and that's not notable in of itself. Right now there's no movement on the next movie, so anything he says is simply wishful thinking. WesleyDodds (talk) 06:17, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Your comment at WP:ANI

I noticed this comment from you at WP:ANI: "What I see is a long slow edit warring and revert pattern on the part of LotLE. I see involved editors/admins protecting her, and blaming everyone else, instead of working to solve the problem and prevent further edit warring on the page." This has risen to the level of WP:RFAR and while I am reluctant to participate, and am no longer allowed to participate at Talk:Barack Obama, you are in a good position to do so on both pages and I urge you to do just that. There's something wrong. LotLE and his/her partner, Scjessey, just keep getting away with low-level edit warring and low-level baiting.

Citing Web of Science

Hi,

You just removed an edit I made to the Kenneth Zucker article, with as edit summary "citign a wikipedia page is a no no. Please fix to actual web of science citation". I would appreciate help in getting it right. WoS is a subscription-based service. I can provide the URL that I see when I search for citations for Zucker, but that certainly will not work for anybody who does not work at the same institution as I do and has the necessary password info. Posting that URL would be worse than useless, I guess. If this were a paper journal or magazine (also only accessible to those who happen to subscribe or are near a library that carries it), I think it would have been acceptable to cite Journal of so and so, vol 74, pp 43, 1745. So that's what I kind of did here. Let me know.

ThuranX, on the Simon LeVay talk page recently you made this comment: 'Its' a WP:NPA Violation, WP:BLP Violation, both against a wiki editor.' I find this to be one of the most shocking comments I have ever encountered during my time on Misplaced Pages. It appears to imply that Misplaced Pages editors are entitled to some kind of special treatment that other people are not, and even that their lives and reputations are of greater value than the lives and reputations of others. If you do not want to suggest such a thing, I suggest you strike that part of your comments (on the talk page, I've discussed some other comments by you that you might want to consider striking out).

years on Xmen films in infoboxes.

The years in the infoboxes are included on the Batman Begins, The Dark Knight (film), and James Bond movie pages. I came across the X-Men articles, and decided to add it. Simple as that, really. I thought I was making a positive contribution.

You said, "yet you're doing them multiple times without any edit summaries or explanatino". Well, they were reverted once by a unregistered user who didn't put anything in the edit summary, and once by another unregistered user who simply put "Unnecessary", which I don't think sufficed as a good explanation. You said "please stop" like I'm trying to make trouble or something. Remember, assume good faith. I hate these Misplaced Pages altercations over stupid things, so I'm not trying to make trouble. I see absolutely no problem with what I added. Please show me a policy that prohibits this, and I'll remove them from the X-Men articles and any other movie series I may come across.-5- (talk) 17:16, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

DC versus Marvel universes

Well, after that lame failure on your part, it will have to remain that way.... I reviewed your edit history and we really have no articles in common. I've never found anyone on Misplaced Pages with whom I edit fewer articles in common (zero is hard to beat). So I made a lame joke about DC versus Marvel universes, as I'm a mostly DC reader, in the edit summary of my post at AN/I. But you missed it.

The user making the accusation against you, as if being the associate of a fellow editor on Misplaced Pages is a crime, has made numerous accusations in the past week that are completely without foundation. And makes enough of these that he/she is guaranteed to get a rise out of someone. You were simply the the working victim at the time. I took the bait a bit in the beginning, also.

Hulk infobox, etc.

A couple of quick points about the problems with the article Hulk (comics). The previous version does not show as one long paragraph, despite your claim in your edit summary. You deleted not just my cites, but the revisions that the cites were about. Ted Watson (talk) 00:52, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

If you can go to "My Contributions" page or check my edit summaries on Hulk and Ulysses Bloodstone, you'll see that I complained about the line break deletions happening--automatically--almost every time I edited something on Saturday and Sunday, causing me a great deal of extra work to restore them. I am not doing anything I haven't done before (I have been working here since January '07), so simply ordering me not to do it can accomplish nothing. Also, as I said, nothing I could do--with the previous version of the infobox in an adjacent tab to go by--would restore the box. None of this was (is? this is the first Wiki-thing I've done today, so I don't yet know if this b******t is still happening) within my control. Furthermore, the GCD is used as a source on far too many occasions in Wiki for your objection to its use to be accepted by me, especially since you are not an administrator. On the other hand, I certainly do wish to apologize for my terseness in the posting above; I had been online for hours (not all of it here), and was tired and ready to get off the 'net. Ted Watson (talk) 19:39, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I just looked at your most recent version of the Hulk article and had a couple of complaints. The passage was significantly inaccurate. Not necessarily your fault (probably not, if I were to check previous versions, but your claim, "I restored all your edits," is far from the fact of the matter). The first pilot/TV movie for The Incredible Hulk (TV series) aired on November 4, 1977, while the first issue of the magazine under discussion bears a cover date of January 1977, and by definition of how comics/magazine distribution worked in those days was in stores in late 1976, maybe not fully a year before the pilot aired, but at the least very close. The mag therefore was not launched "following the debut of the eponymous television series" (emphasis mine, of course). As for the source relevant to what the b/w era Hulk stories were, just because you don't have a copy and can't read it for yourself does not mean it can't be cited as a source. I have therefore restored my edits (your claim, "I restored all your edits" being far from the truth of the matter) to that point, but revised to deal with some of your other stated concerns. Oh, yes: no problem with line breaks disappearing! Ted Watson (talk) 20:48, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I am getting fed up with people responding to me by asking me questions that are covered in what they are replying to. I said, "I am not doing anything I haven't done before (I have been working here since January '07)." That eliminates the possibility that I was doing something specific to cause the problem on virtually every edit attempt for two consecutive days. I in fact use the default edit window, since you ask. I am having problems with little windows/boxes/whatever popping up related to a new scanner/printer that was just installed. Does it seem to you that that could somehow be causing this--which, I repeat, seems to have stopped while the little boxes have not, and didn't give me problems with edit windows I was working with on other sites? Just read your other posting. Those dates I cited prove that DeFalco is wrong, don't they? The fact of the matter is that the two titles represent two totally different formats, and just looking at the cover scans at the GCD would prove it. Speaking of the GCD, those cites have been up a long time, nobody else has disputed them, so you are outvoted! Ted Watson (talk) 21:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Fact--The first nine issues of Rampaging Hulk bears no resemblance to the Hulk TV show than does the four-color book, which it does resemble (as the cover scans show, the Avengers--original line-up and costumes--and the Sub-Mariner appear).

Fact--The first Hulk TV movie/pilot gives little idea of what a typical episode would be like, no doubt the reason that CBS ordered a second one, so Marvel wouldn't have too much to go one for a magazine that got into stores nearly, if not fully, a year before the initial telecasts.

Fact--There is a videotaped Canadian TV interview from the late 1970s now on Youtube about the series The Prisoner, wherein Patrick McGoohan says of his previous series, Danger Man, "We did 54 of those." There is absolutely no reasonable way in the universe to get that number.

Season 1 (half-hours in 1960-61, with the actor playing an American trouble-shooter for NATO): 39.

Season 2 (from here on , one-hour segments with a same-named character a Brit agent for UK intelligence): 24.

Season 3: 23.

Season 4 (aborted in favor of The Prisoner and not actually aired in UK until 1968): 2.

There is no reasonable, rationale way (in the given context--Seasons 1, 3 and 4 do add up to 54, but he--and you--can't justify leaving out Season 2) to get 54 out of those numbers, so McGoohan, who certainly ought to have known and therefore qualifies as "a reliable source," was wrong! Similarly, on the Wikiarticle The Green Hornet, there used to be a statement that Ron Fortier, who developed and initially wrote a comic book version of the character published by NOW Comics, claimed that trouble with the property's owner concerning his female version of the character Kato resulted in the comic being cancelled. The comics themselves document that this woman was quickly dropped and the book ran for another five years (until the company ceased operations, actually). Again, someone who has to be "a reliable source" was categorically wrong.

Fact--De Falco's name is no where on that magazine, and he was not a truly major player at Marvel at that time, so he isn't that good a source for this, anyway. The fact of the matter must be that he forgot the earlier non-TV format, and remembered only the earlier title simply because it was much more distinctive, and in fact was used by Marvel again many years later.

We should not have the article flatly state that this magazine was TV-influenced from the outset, DeFalco notwithstanding, since too much evidence works against that. You wrote, "Marvel may have chosen to get their side up and running sooner. I don't know why, and neither do you." What I know is that they didn't do any such thing, and Wiki shouldn't say otherwise just because DeFalco's memory failed him. Period. Ted Watson (talk) 17:06, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I repeat, because there is so much evidence contradicting the statement by DeFalco, who is not a good source for this particular information anyway, the encyclopedia should not flatly state that the magazine was launched as a tie-in to the TV show. I'm not suggesting that my original passage explicitly stating otherwise be restored, but have offered a compromise (I don't really like it, but I'm offering it and I will abide by it). I am going to enter such a neutral statement into the article, and I strongly recommend that you leave it. Furthermore, asserting that what I've said is unacceptable OR and/or synthesis that should be completely disregarded does not make the case that it is, and therefore does not so convince me. Citing precedents that "a reliable source" can be categorically wrong is neither OR or synthesis to the point at hand, and those cover scans with the Avengers and Sub-Mariner, whose presences are completely incompatible with the claim that even those early, b/w issues "targeted the television audience," is thoroughly objective evidence. Ted Watson (talk) 17:57, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

OOPS! I just checked the article, and you did leave it neutral to this point. Sorry! Ted Watson (talk) 18:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Don't know what you are talking about. There's no mention of TV tie-in being from the beginning or as of #10, and what's there is cited. And I stand by my statement that your dismisal of my earlier posting here as all OR and/or synthesis is BS. Ted Watson (talk) 19:39, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Let me make this as clear as I can. The version of the passage under dispute between us that was up as of my previous posting (as yesterday, I haven't checked yet today) is not mine. It is neutral in that neither DeFalco's statement concerning Rampaging Hulk relevant to the Hulk TV series nor my contradicting one is there. If you honestly do not think that qualifies as neutral, think again. That aside: The OR and synthesis regs are about material to be put IN AN ARTICLE and nothing else. All that up above was FOR YOUR BENEFIT to show you how little weight the DeFalco statement should be given. Regardless of whether or not said evidence qualifies under Wiki regs to be actually placed into an article, you can still consider it to make a reasonable determination of how much weight to give DeFalco's statement here. The precedents show that it is quite plausible for a statement from an "inside" source to be totally inaccurate. But relevant to Rampaging Hulk/Hulk!, DeFalco, I have said, is not that anyway. GCD IS a citable source for fundamental information such as cover dates and physical format; I freely concede that it has much information that doesn't meet Wiki's requirements for inclusion, but there is also much that does. The covers (scans here and here) have objectively observable content that is highly, compellingly inconsistent with DeFalco's contention. Furthermore, I have here (you'll have to scroll way down to find the specific statement; the link wouldn't fine tune to the "Third Party Opinion - Initiated" line) a Wiki-administrative ruling, a precedent that when a magazine is the subject under discussion, the issues themselves are citable sources. Therefore, I have every right to cite the issues themselves, and specifically Warner's editorial in #1, as sources contradicting DeFalco anyway. For you to insist in the face of all this evidence to put DeFalco's at best dubious statement in the article as a flat fact is indefensible, and to the detriment of the encyclopedia. To summarize: While having seen something with my own two eyes is, I concede, not good enough to put said something in the encyclopedia, it is good enough to tell you that I know for a fact that a statement which you are trying to put into an article is inaccurate no matter how well cited it is, and you are wrong to completely dismiss me and evidence that corroborates me on the basis of Wiki admissability regs. All I'm trying to do is keep the inaccurate DeFalco statement out of the encyclopedia, not add one that categorically states that he is wrong. Ted Watson (talk) 21:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Tucker Max

Hello. I'm not sure what to do about the Tucker Max article. I was hoping that you could help. McJeff filed an RfC about the controversy section, as to whether it should exist, but no one has responded to the RfC yet, and so McJeff has hinted at removing the RfC with the conclusion that the situation is settled: there is no controversy. And, as a bizarre twist, he claims that this is not his RfC but my "failed" RfC because no outside editors have commented yet. Even though he filed it, somehow it's my rfc, and my failure at that. i personally believe that no one wants to comment on mcjeff's RfC because the notes in the rfc are too convoluted. The first section of the RfC that any outside editor sees is a huge copy and paste mess from the same discussion page. Anyone could just scroll up to read it, but the anti-controversy folks decided to copy and paste this unnecessary and unwieldy diatribe into the top of the RfC. The result, unfortunately, is that the RfC has yielded no responses. I was wondering if you could offer any suggestions as to what to do? The summary of the situation is that I believe there should be a controversy section, and McJeff doesn't. I further believe that there was no consensus to remove the controversy section to begin with, and McJeff claims there was a consensus. McJeff further claims that Opie and Anthony are not notable nor reliable sources, and therefore have no place in the article, but I believe they are notable, and direct links to their media site with the interview in question is a reliable source Any comments?

I chose NOT to remove my supposed insults, because they were NOT such. Other editors seemed to have no problem with my comments. And IronDuke is acting like a child. Further, your edit summary that it's ok for any editor to redact others, and yes, that's exactly what you're saying, is guaranteed to cause more chaos here. You admit in that summary that you know it's not insults, yet you assist him in censoring me, and validate it with 'even if it's not an insult, don't defend your comments.

Your response appears to me to be totally out of proportion to the events that have occured. In particular, I feel that you've taken quite a hostile tone with me, despite me effort to be conciliatory and notify you on your talk page.

1. Having someone edit a bit of your text, and in particular a bit that adds very little to the sentance, is not a big deal. "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly do not submit it." You don't own a bit of text, even one with your signature after it.
2. Eighty percent of the time when someone feels thay have been attacked, the transgressor doesn't agree with that view.
3. If it's not actually an attack, someone else will fix it up. See #2.

That you chose to revert there after I'd opened discussion on the topic here is not particularly encouraging. Finally, I note that despite me explicitly stating above that I was not commenting of if "whining" was an attack, you've repeatedly chosen to misinterpret my edit summary. I've certainly not gotten a good impression of you here

YOu admitted it's NOT a personal attzack, but censored it cause someone who disagreed with my position said so. Extending that means there can be NO opposition because all opposition is personal attacking. Move on to a real problem. ThuranX (talk) 06:27, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

As you are clearly incapable of any further civil debate at this time, I am taking your talk page off my watch list. Any further communication on this-non issue can be adressed to me talk page. - brenneman 06:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Kathie Lee Gifford

Please review my edit again. The sweatshop material absolutely needs to be removed until there is a source for it. That's WP:BLP basics. Also, what legitimate source did I supposedly remove in favor of youtube? I moved the video link from msnbc up so that it referenced her statement instead of the supposed offense by many. I didn't remove any references. I'm confused. --Onorem♠Dil 14:26, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Please see my comments on the article's talk page. I wasn't planning on leaving the youtube link. I was leaving it temporarily to try to remain out of the edit war while getting a conversation going. I don't care if the sweatshop mess was well known. Step one per BLP is to remove it, and only to replace it once you have the source. I have no issue with it now, but that's exactly the type of information that we don't just slap a tag on. --Onorem♠Dil 14:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Revert on WP:AN/I

Hello ThuranX,

Re: Page protections

There's only been one IP edit to Batman (film series) and he reverted himself within minutes. It wasn't even blatant vandalism, from what I can tell. Protection is considered a last resort - if the vandalism does pick up seriously again, then we'll reprotect. Right now there's nowhere near enough activity to justify keeping the articles under lock and key. Hersfold 23:43, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Semen images

If you have time to participate and offer your honest opinions regarding the images in the semen article, we would appreciate it. Although one editor seems to have the view that having no image would be beneficial for the article, I don't think that he consciously has censorhsip in mind. Another editor things that four images of semen may be more than necessary -- he may be right about that. Atom (talk) 21:46, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Fuck off. The reports were clear, KrakatoaKaite couldn't be bothered. Look at the history at AIV. reports filed both before and after mine were cleared. She ignored my report, as did the rest of AIV, till it went stagnant and then was tossed as stagnant, when, given he's struck twice today, right after his last block expires, shows he's not only still active but persistent.

Proposals on Template talk:Sexual orientation

Hi, you've contributed to past discussions on the Template talk:Sexual orientation page and we are now in the process of noting which of several proposals might help resolve some current content disputes. Your opinion to offer Support, Oppose, and Comment could help us see if there is consensus to approve any of these proposals. It's been suggested to only offer a Support on the one proposal you most favor but it's obviously to each editor's discretion to decide what works for them. Banjeboi 23:30, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

User:Groupsisxty

No, "The Shadow" and myself are not one-in-the-same. I have contributed to the discussion on the talk page in a civil manner, and have even sought outside help in the matter on the "List of New Religious Movements" talk page (ie I posted the RfC there myself). Thanks, and I especially like the Original Barnstar you were given for continuing to edit. -- Groupsisxty (talk) 16:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

You weighed in previously on the talk page for the List of New Religious movements. I have a proposal at the end for a retitling of the section, and sourcing every item on there. Would you mind weighing in there for opposition or support? Thanks. Groupsisxty (talk) 19:24, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Spiritual (music)

Use of the phrase

So far, two editors have tried to add the phrase "Negro spiritual" to the article, you claimed that there was no "rationale". So I added the rationale; i.e., the references to black organizations which proudly reclaim this historic phrase. You deleted all evidence of this phrase from the references that I worked to find and format.

My choir director, a black man, always referred to these songs as "Negro spirituals". He was very proud of his black heritage and would never use the term as a racial slur. Also, if you review the references, the organizations using the phrase are black organizations. Can you explain omitting this material? Whatever404 (talk) 14:55, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Other edits

Where are these, quote, "ridiculous amounts of agenda pushing racially based alterations" that you're accusing me of? I hardly added any text to the article, other than the above-mentioned references. Most of what I did was to create sections and rearrange the existing material so that it flowed better. I worked for at least an hour on that article, and you just did a wholesale revert. You threw out all my work while calling me names. That did not feel good.

Seriously, please, rather than just calling "racism!" and stomping on my work, take a second to look at the size (in bytes) of my edits. You will see that the bulk of it is rearranging the material that was already there, adding section headers, adding an expansion-request template. Little stuff. You are within your rights to challenge and remove material, but please be a bit more selective in your edits. The article is far more navigable with those section headers, do you really need to delete them? Whatever404 (talk) 12:42, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Discussing WP:Fringe

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages%3AFringe_theories&diff=234435862&oldid=234402222

Please don't pull out WP:SOAP as soon as you revert my edit. It comes across that you're accusing me of bad faith and is provocative. If you feel that I'm editing without good faith, take it to WP:ANI and ask an uninvolved admin to warn me, or warn me yourself and explain your rationale. So far I have been scrupulously following policy and have been very careful to stay out of edit warring on any pages. (if you look at the page history you'll notice that I backed off as soon as I saw the reverts by other editors were getting out of hand).

First off, I waited until the discussion had died down so that there would be less likelihood of stirring up the same edit war that was touched off last time. I let the issue rest (and went out of town) for a few weeks, which is why I haven't been back.

Second, the change that I made had been discussed, and I correctly referred you to the discussion logs, rather than the active discussion page, since there is lots of positive discussion about the change.

Do you have a particular issue with the wording or just that I made the change without having an active discussion on the talk page and instead referred to a log?

Hi, ThuranX. There's been a little more discussion about the disambiguation page The Dark Knight at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Disambiguation#The Dark Knight.

Just saw this "just fucking leave it; some editors have to be superior, let them.". I'm thinking we've had somesort of misunderstanding and want to apologise for any part I may have played in that. Obviously, I don't know if you have a history with the editor that originally changed it or not but, can only assure you that when I changed it back to a more "readable" version it wasn't out of any feelings of superiority (I mean it is quite obvious to me that you know more about most comic books than I ever could).

Hey bro, long time since I've hit you up - hope all is well. Just wanted to ask what you think of this for a starting point to when the film eventually gets made.

September 2008

Regarding your comments on User talk:Sherurcij: Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Mayalld (talk) 07:23, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I've had your talk page on my watchlist since we had that dispute about the passage relevant to the Rampaging Hulk/Hulk magazine in Hulk (comics), and had almost removed it as that seems resolved. Very glad I hadn't yet, as, after reading your posting referred to above by Mayalld, I'd like to say that I feel his/her response here is an inappropriate reaction (admitting that all I know about the situation being discussed was what was said right there, but on the other hand Mayalld doesn't seem to have had any interest in the incident itself). That some editors (or even some administrators) would behave in a manner detrimental to the encyclopedia is perfectly possible and even plausible (in fact, I have encountered such several times in my more than a year and a half working on Wiki), and it should not be condoned or even tolerated. The first step in dealing with misconduct to the detriment of the encyclopedia is by definition pointing it out. That so many people respond to such a posting by crying "Uncivility" (although in this case you were certainly civil and polite about it, hence Mayalld didn't make that charge) and "No Personal Attacks" is itself detrimental to the encyclopedia. Their refusal to so much as acknowledge the existence of the original misbehavior being discussed or, worse, reported to an incident board (the regs used to actually contain an acknowledgement that reporting bad faith behavior was an option, albeit without giving any instructions whatsoever as to how to do so, but since I myself on 6 May 2008 included a link to that in an update to such an incident board report that was being dismissed out of hand, the passage has been rewritten to remove it, and I'll never believe that that was a coincidence) and to fault those who would attempt to draw attention to it only encourages those people and others like them to engage in further such misconduct. These are the only "users" who would be "deterred" by dealing with such "attacks" on their own terms, and they need to be deterred. This severely harms Misplaced Pages's worth and credibility as an information source which, given the fairly poor reputation it already has due to being wide open to the most blatant (as well as more subtle) forms of vandalism from unregistered and anonymous IPs, it cannot stand. --Ted Watson (talk) 21:37, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

thanks for the comment of support. best to ya. ThuranX (talk) 21:43, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Regardless of the merits or otherwise of the admin actions (and I make no comment on them here), your message went beyond criticism of the action into an attack on the person taking the action, and that just isn't on. We all (me included) get riled by something from time to time, and lose our rag, but it doesn't make it right. Mayalld (talk) 21:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Admin actions are the admin's actions; commenting on them inherently comments on the admin, he further set himself up by his imperious arrogance in choosing to disregard the community. As such, his choice of actions and his conduct in general reflect wholely on the person. ThuranX (talk) 21:53, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Well said. Thank you. Furthermore, Mayalld's new comments ignoring the bulk of mine by definition corroborate them. --Ted Watson (talk) 22:03, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

So say the actions were bad. Don't say the person taking that action was bad. No matter how much you believe that the actions were wrong, accept that the admin took them in good faith, in the belief that they were for the benefit of the encyclopedia. Leaping to an assumption of bad faith, and calling him arrogant for stating his position, isn't going to make things better. Mayalld (talk) 22:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

What is FUr? The image itself says it is not free use, not me. 903M (talk) 02:54, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Fair Use rationale. If you're not familair with that, then you should not be making image use determinations. ThuranX (talk) 03:00, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

FU also stands for Fuck You. I reviewed the 10 criteria that images must meet. Meeting 9 is not enough. It doesn't meet all 10. Not having it doesn't make the article bad. 903M (talk) 03:03, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, with that personal attack, i'll be disregarding you from now on. ThuranX (talk) 03:33, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

903M was simply saying that the initials 'FU' have several meanings, and it could have been construed that you were swearing at them and that's why they asked you to clarify what you were saying. Then they clarified that this ambiguity is why they asked. You did not hyperlink to any policy so you can see why they wouldn't understand your abbreviation, as quite a new user. They are aware of image policy IMHO (of course a lot of people interpret it in various different ways) but as a newcomer they wouldn't know some acronyms other people might use as abbreviations, without a wikilink to the term. I've been here 3 years and I wasn't sure what you meant until you explained it, simply because I haven't seen it written as 'FUr' before (which doesn't mean I don't know the 'rules'. This particular strand of the argument is just a breakdown in communication, not a personal attack on either side, although I appreciate no-one has been perfect in the debate. ThuranX could have used a hyperlink or written out what he meant in full, 903M could have explained why they weren't sure what you meant in a less ambiguous and more subtle way, and ThuranX, you could have not accused her on her talk page of 'constant lying'. I'm just saying this as 903M's adopter and hope you will both make up and accept or WP:AGF that it was a simple misunderstanding. Sticky Parkin 04:46, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Having explained it, the only reasonable interpretation of his phrasing is 'fuck you', not 'oh, i thought that meant 'fuck you'. the R should've been capitalized, but I typo'd, and given his reaction, I left it that way, for others to see it as a typo of FUR, rather than edit it and leave him looking somehow more ignorant. however, his 'FU means Fuck You' response was clearly an attack on me, especially coupled with his abject refusal to actually talk about his edits. As for AGF, after 'fuck you', I don't AGF about a user. he knew full well what he was saying. And now I've committed a Personal attack by a TYPO? As for 903M, He/She/They/It are lying. and they know it. As 903M's adopter, you're doing a great job of recklessly defending Him/Her, instead of pointing out that per Bold, Revert, Discuss, 903M should've come to the talk page sooner, doubly so after being asked to use talk, triply so after I started a thread on the talk. Instead, 903M broke 3RR. I offered a chance to back away from 3RR, and was rewarded with an AN/I thread about my patience. No more AGF for 903M. This is absurd misbehavior. Get your Padawan under control. Link included for you. ThuranX (talk) 04:54, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Wow, get insulted easily? Did you see what I did? I dented mine twice, leaving yours dented once. It's clear the way I had it that you were not responding to me. This is something that happens ALL the time. If you don't believe me, check out the Main Page talk with the topic September 11. This is something that happens a lot. I hope you have not changed it again, because that would put you dangerously close to 3RR, if you haven't already. I am well aware of indenting, thank you very much. The way I had it originally made it clear that if he wanted to respond to me, he'd indent after me, and if he wanted to respond to you, he'd indent after you. Clearly, you get insulted easily because how you could see that was "disrespecting you" is beyond me. I have placed it back AND added to it. I suggest keeping a cool head, because let me tell you, right now, I don't feel like you're being civil to me. Anakinjmt (talk) 04:33, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I am going to try to be civil once more, but I want you to know that any comment you direct towards me, whether here, on my talk page, or another talk page, that I deem to be uncivil will result in me notifying an admin. I just want to give you a fair warning about it, something I know has happened to me before and it helped me cool down. The simple fact is, the way the comments were last before your removal of your own comment (which I don't think you needed to remove) made it clear the order of things. You appear to take offense easily. That is something I would encourage you work on. I am not interested in getting into a feud with someone. I like to think I'm a generally likable guy who if someone gets mad at me I try to resolve the issue. Your impression may be different, for which I am truly sorry if that's what you think. Looking over your talk page, it does appear that you tend to get riled up fairly easy. I know for a fact I used to be that way. The problem is, when you get riled up, it is very easy to forget about things like being civil, no personal attacks, and assuming good faith. I guarantee you, had your initial edit summary been more civil, I would have brought things to you first, where we could have calmly debated things instead of getting frustrated at each other, which I know happened to me and it appears it happened to you as well. So let me just encourage you to allow yourself to calm down before reacting to something you don't particularly care for. You do that, and I'm certain you not only won't get frustrated so easily but that any disagreements you have with an editor will remain civil and respectable. Anakinjmt (talk) 05:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Launching attacks

You claimed you were attacked. By reporting to 3RR, if you don't also report yourself, you could be doing something that a rational person could interpret as an attack. Let's stop editing the picture for a while and seek to resolve the matter in a day or two.

I don't want to be colleagues with you. You have been hostile, insulting, attacked me personally, and filed an AN/I against me for a false 3RR. If you think for one minute I want anything but for you to leave the Henry Ford page, and me, alone, then you are sorely mistaken. ThuranX (talk) 02:17, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Editing in Misplaced Pages is acceptance that one become colleagues of Misplaced Pages editors. Violation of copyright is a serious legal and unlawful action. You appear to look at this as a fight. I merely want to protect Misplaced Pages and make it scholarly. If it becomes clear that this is not a non-free use image, then I have no objections to its use on copyright grounds.

In the mean time, please observe the rules prohibiting removal of the tag. It is unpredictable what will happen if you remain hostile, but please don't try to test this. Please do not remove the copyright tag per the tag's instructions. It could conceivably result in disciplinary action. 903M (talk) 02:28, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

That tag is for images, not for obstructionist tactics. That is clear, and you know it. However, your desire to escalate this to the level of a fist fight is clear. I've been kind enough to simply ignore you when you insulted me, to warn you when you hit 3RR, and you continue to be a complete WP:DICK. Read that essay. Your POINT-y behavior and continued misbehavior is a significant problem, and if you really push this, this will wind up back at AN/I. Having already failed to prove me in the wrong, and having already been chastised there, I can assure you that the second time around, things will go more poorly for you than the first time. ThuranX (talk) 03:13, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Let me be clear. I am not interested in working with you anymore, nor are the half dozen others speaking out against your edits.

Hi! This is a form notice sent to several editors who have contributed recently at the Bill Ayers page or talk page (sent in accordance with WP:CANVASS). A proposal has been made near the bottom of Talk:Weatherman (organization)/Terrorism RfC concerning the Bill Ayers article in connection with use of the word "terrorism" and discussion of it in the article. Other proposals have been made concerning similar articles, and a large amount of information about sources on this topic are available on the page. Please take a look and consider supporting or opposing some of the proposals. Thanks. -- Noroton (talk) 02:41, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

"Cretin" comment

I hardly think that was called for. I have been saying to everyone not to make personal comments and to assume good faith, please don't call others cretins (myself or the anon). It makes everything far too heated, I have been trying to respond calmly to the anon and have never made personal comments, your "cretin" comment is hardly helping. Thanks. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 05:15, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I am now inclined to contribute your short temper to wikistress called by flocks of "poop vandals", as you called it, so please accept my apologies for being insufficiently verbose, insufficiently explanatory, and unnecessarily destructive in my edits. Timurite (talk) 05:01, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

That would be 'attribute' not 'contribute', and 'caused by', not 'called by'? and I told you, I left the page, ruin it as you like. Clearly, you're not familiar with woodworking, or the history of planes and industrialization. ThuranX (talk) 05:05, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Red Hulk

I think people are going yet again into far too much detail adding every aspect from the 6 issue comic series and cramming into sections of the article... it looks like mostly trivial information to me any chance you can skim through and remove the unhelpful stuff.. i had a look through but it mostly seems to be recent edit in the Powers and abilities sections.

I wish Loeb would hurry up and tell us who Red Hulk is so we can merge the page and be done with it already. --- Paulley (talk) 22:07, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Kent Simpson

Yeah, and I figured that we might as well have this other Kent Simpson article at that page now. Just being bold is all, just being bold; although I really didn't think I was, but maybe I was? Is there some sort of harm in that? Seems like it would make sense to have the only Kent Simpson article on Misplaced Pages at the Kent Simpson page, instead of nothing at Kent Simpson, but randomly something else at Kent Simpson (ice hockey, b. 1975). Either way a disambiguation page would have been needed there, so I don't see what the issue is. Care to explain, instead of telling me that moving a fork there isn't a good thing to do? – Nurmsook! 15:55, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Kent Simpson

Just to note that if an article is recreated after being deleted, you shouldn't "unarchive" the deletion discussion, but should create a new one (using Template:Afdx) or tag the page {{db-g4}}. Of course this doesn't apply to this particular situation; I've closed the discussion you reopened and I hope that's OK. Stifle (talk) 08:38, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Hulk merger

As far as I've understood the decision the content of Powers and Abilities of the Hulk was to be merged into the main article, or to quote "The debate was closed on 18 October 2008 with a consensus to merge the content into the article Hulk (comics)." The most reasonable and the least intrusive way of doing so that I can come up with is to add the most noteable examples of an ability as sources to previously existing statements, and adding a few forgotten abilities without affecting the flow of the text in section itself in a major way. Thus I'd very much appreciate if we could handle this reasonably and collaboratively without any acid. This is extremely far from excessive, and not remotely a whole insertion of the article, even if that was the actual decision. I made an effort to keep it as concise and informative as possible, but it is extremely tiresome to exert myself, take the result reasonably despite that it was a slap in the face of all the extensive work, and yet not meeting any willingness to budge whatsoever, regardless that this was actually required by the decision.

Something along this vein is the best I can manage at the moment, but help with improvements are greatly appreciated:

"The Hulk possesses the potential for near-limitless physical strength, depending directly on his emotional state, particularly his anger. This has been reflected in the repeated catchphrases "The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets," and "Hulk is the strongest one there is." His durability, healing, and endurance also increase in relation to his temper. Greg Pak described the Hulk shown during World War Hulk as having a level of physical power where "Hulk was stronger than any mortal -- and most immortals -- who ever walked the Earth." Pak went on to say that even then, the Hulk would lose to characters such as Galactus.

The Hulk is also extremely resistant to most forms of injury or damage, including physical, psychic, or environmental extremes, and is immune to disease and poisons. His powerful legs allow him to leap into lower Earth orbit or across continents. He also has less commonly described powers, including abilities allowing him to "home in" to his place of origin in New Mexico, and to see and interact with astral forms. He has been shown to have both regenerative and adaptive healing abilities, including growing tissues to allow him to breathe underwater, surviving unprotected in space without air supply for hours to days, resisting transformation of his physical form, and when injured, healing from almost any wound within seconds, including regenerating lost mass. Additionally he possesses longevity beyond that of ordinary humans. In some storylines his powers increase after absorbing large amounts of radiation, dark magic, or nexus-energies.

In some stories The Hulk has been shown capable of withstanding a ground zero nuclear explosion, comparatively powerful energy blasts, planet-shattering impact, as well as the 1,000,000-degree Fahrenheit "nova-burst" of the Human Torch, in one case combined with a full-power lightning strike by Storm. In other stories, he has been shown to be significantly weaker, for example passing out from asphyxiation due to being strangled by an ordinary python, or being beaten and knocked out in physical combat with Captain America. Over time, the Hulk has been shown to grow vastly more powerful from his origins in the 60s and 70s.

As Bruce Banner (and the Merged/Professor Hulk), he is considered one of the greatest minds on Earth. He has developed expertise in the fields of biology, chemistry, engineering, and physiology, and holds a Ph.D. in nuclear physics. He possesses "a mind so brilliant it cannot be measured on any known intelligence test".

In The Science of Superheroes, Lois Grest and Robert Weinberg examined Hulk’s powers, explaining the scientific flaws in them. Most notably, they point out that the level of gamma radiation Banner is exposed to at the initial blast would induce radiation sickness and kill him, or if not, create significant cancer risks for Banner, because hard radiation strips cells of their ability to function. They go on to offer up an alternate origin, in which a Hulk might be created by biological experimentation with adrenal glands and GFP.

Charles Q. Choi from LiveScience.com further explains that unlike the Incredible Hulk, gamma rays are not green - existing as they do beyond the visible spectrum, gamma rays have no color at all that we can describe. He also explains that gamma rays are so powerful (the highest form of light and 10,000 times more powerful than visible light) that they can even create matter- a possible explanation for the increased mass that Bruce Banner takes on during transformations. "Just as the Incredible Hulk 'is the strongest one there is,' as he says himself, so too are gamma ray bursts the most powerful explosions known.""

the P&A section is fine and that load of crap is not required. (just so there is no misunderstanding on where I stand). --Cameron Scott (talk) 01:42, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Given that your second edit on Misplaced Pages was an attack on the original article it's pretty clear that you have a rampant hatred of it, but regardless of what I thought (that it should have beenkept), or what you thought (that it should be deleted), the decision was to "merge the content", not evaporate it. I've currently tried to be as flexible, polite, and mediating as I can in this regard, thinning it down from the original 108 references, to a bare minimum, kept as non-intrusive as I can make them to the main article, out of respect for Thuran's wishes, and the alternative would be to simply make a lot of unsourced thin air statements, which seems less sensible. I'm just hoping to make my final edit in the matter, find some sort of solution, and then leave the section be. Let's see it like this. You've 'inconvenienced'/'hurt' me a hundredfold as much as I've possibly 'inconvenienced'/'hurt' you, and for less reason, if we're talking lost worktime, and insensitive attitude, yet I'm making a definite effort to work out a workable solution, even though it's grating on my nerves. I'd appreciate if you would consider making a similar effort. Thank you. Dave (talk) 19:26, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

What do you want? some smooth lies? I think it's a load of crap and doesn't belong in the article. I can tell you the same thing in a thousand words but what's the point? It's fair more perferable that we go into this entirely understanding each other's position. I see Thuran X's prediction that you would send your time trying to get that sub-par content into the article was perfectly correct. He's got the right idea, work on it and make it a FA, not turn it into a lot of fanboy nonsense that belongs on a newsarama talk thread. --Cameron Scott (talk) 19:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

The Joker

• 1. This is Misplaced Pages. "let's not get ridiculous with our objectivity." does not compute in this scenario. We do not even need to use the word "tragedy" to describe these scenarios. Please let the events speak for themselves. Yes, they take place in fictional worlds, but using "tragedy" is editorializing them. Let's not dictate how readers feel about things. Some people may be happy, or indifferent, or sad. Please let the events speak for themselves.
• 2. "a simple review of origin tales shows that the preponderance do the falling into vat, thus obvious fact" - How am I supposed to verify that this is the most common tale? Based on what? Just how many Joker stories do I need to read in order to verify this? Which page numbers? - While plot info often does not need a source, this specific detail DOES need a source.
  • On the other hand, if published sources say "X is the most common," then all you need to do is cite that source, and that's that.

WhisperToMe (talk) 00:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

• • Alright, "The most widely cited backstory, which the official DC Comics publication, Who's Who in the DC Universe, credits as the most widely believed account" - that answers my own question regarding that. Still, I don't see a need to use the word "tragedy" in this scenario. While it is true that there are almost never words that should never be used, I think tragedy is kind of an overpowering and editorializing word in this instance. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:53, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

And that's your editorial opinion. Murder of a family member, attempted assassination of a close friend? If those aren't perceived as tragedies, then really, nothing is. When writers here talk about actions speaking for themselves, they talk about 'sadistic heinous beating of the innocent young Robin' as bad. Saying 'The Joker causes many tragedies' is like saying Manson caused tragedies, or Jim Jones did, or Hitler did. When people savage others for inexplicable reasons, that's the definition of a tragedy. ThuranX (talk) 04:42, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

ThuranX, speaking of Hitler...

Misplaced Pages:NPOV has this quote about Hitler '"You won't even need to say he was evil. That is why the article on Hitler does not start with "Hitler was a bad man"—we don't need to, his deeds convict him a thousand times over. We just list the facts of the Holocaust dispassionately, and the voices of the dead cry out afresh in a way that makes name-calling both pointless and unnecessary. Please do the same: list Saddam's crimes, and cite your sources."' - And if you look at the articles about Adolf Hitler, Charles Manson, etc. they do not mention "tragedies" *except* in proper nouns and in exact quotes (if those are there) - Notice how this "editorial opinion" of mine is accepted practice on here. If Batman considers the events to be "tragedies" (in his words) then maybe you could cite that and include the exact text in the citations.

Comment

I do not want to imply that I did not understand your situation, but merely to say that this user thrives on bestirring the community and taunting other editors. Since he is a large content producer, he has many defenders. However, I agree that the time will eventually come again when the line is crossed and the community will take action. The user does not care much, as he uses the ban time to do other work on other wiki projects or write articles in user space, collecting oodles of DYks and writing articles that will become FAs. I'm just suggesting that you not personally become emotionally involved in taking this user's obnoxious behaviour personally, as it is chronic, just so you spare yourself from fretting over this really hopeless situation. (In my opinion, hopeless, because the large amount of content produced means this user will not be permanently banned.) Also, you could consider contacting the "mentors".

Evidence-based feedback

Hi ThuranX -- on AN/I, you wrote:

"I think the problem is that Jim Butler never ever stops his advocacy, and while the direct benefits may be low, they might not be; we can't guess how often he sends people unsure about Acupuncture to the Misplaced Pages article as a 'good introduction to the subject', knowing that his highly biased edits populate the article. I've seen discussions of his NPOV-violating edits to scientific articles before, but note that once again, this has become about SA, not the people who constantly sell bullshit as 'essences of roses' on Misplaced Pages. If WP:COI isn't appropriate, then we need a WP:ADVOCACY reporting system to deal with this sort of behavior. Until then, COI makes more sense than any other location."

Apart from the highly disruptive and deservedly-banned User:Mccready, and more lately User:ScienceApologist's games, I've received very little feedback to the effect that my edits are biased. So, your assertion that I "never ever (stop my) advocacy" is surprising. I'm interested in constructive criticism, so I think it's fair for me to respond: what is the specific evidence for your claims? --Jim Butler (t) 02:17, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Because I've seen you up on AN/I before, and seen other edits you've made. You prefer, at all turns, to offer whatever discrediting information you can to areas of science that debunk pseudo-sciences, esp. of the homeopathic variety. That I haven't always spoken up doesn't mean I'm not noticing. ThuranX (talk) 02:44, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Got diffs? I've edited homeopathy around a dozen times. It's not one of my major interests here. Conversely, I have spoken up strongly for the mainstream scientific point of view, e.g. here. What I try to do on WP is give properly sourced weight to all significant views, mainstream and minority. Perhaps you have me confused with someone else. Or perhaps you've formed an inaccurate impression. Produce some evidence in the form of diffs and I'll take your criticism seriously. --Jim Butler (t) 03:26, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

So, this is one of those situations where one editor ,when called for their behavior, intends to escalate the 'prove it', continuallly moving the goalposts, knowing that eventually they will be able to shout that their opponent (for that's how they see it), has fallen short of 'real proof' and thus should be discounted? Not wasting my time playing your game. I've seen the trend, didn't specify 'homeopathy' the article at all, but referred to an entire area of pseudoscience. You know this, but hope to build a strawman distraction. Go play with someone else, or yourself. At this point, it's clear that you intend to antagonize. Go bother others. ThuranX (talk) 03:30, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

I knew it -- you can't provide a single diff! You're just talking out of your hat. Complaining about me, unprovoked, for being anti-science, and when challenged you can't produce a shred of evidence. The irony is wonderful. Goodbye. --Jim Butler (t) 03:35, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Ah, now you'll 'challenge' me. You know, I think I saw the neighbor's kid acting this way yesterday. You don't like it when people see you for who you are, and now you're throwing a tantrum. ThuranX (talk) 03:43, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Respectfully, I believe he is asking you to support your negative claims, ThuranX; he has pointed out that you shouldn't make them without evidence to back it up. Simply using a duck argument isn't always going to be adequate (or even correct). I am not taking Butler's side in this, but I am pointing out that noting someone's prior presence at AN/I, and that you've seen some of their edits isn't really proof. After all, just because you've been to ANI on multiple occasions (some of them even justified) and your edits are a bit...abrupt, does that mean that we should write you off as yet another discontented, 'need to smarter than everyone else' ass clown? I don't think that's the case, either with you or with Butler. You have voiced a strong opinion as to Butler, and he is asking you to support the reasons for that voiced opinion. I don't think he's asking for the world here. If you aren't prepared to (take the time to) defend your statements, perhaps you are better off not making them in the first place. - Arcayne () 14:48, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Do you have my talk page on watch? Haven't I made abundantly clear what I think of your behaviors? And redact the assclown remark.ThuranX (talk) 15:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Of course I have your talk page on watch, ThuranX; your contributions are fairly good, even if your commentary is pretty much a study in what to avoid in conversations with other editors. I often find it instructive to visit your contributions to learn how to not address problems. As for the ass-clown comment, please note that you were not addressed as such; I was asking if we (as a community) should marginalize you as part of that group of ass-clowns simply because of your comments? You will also note that I did not group you in such a way. You are uncivil and more than a little prickly; you are not an ass-clown. - Arcayne () 15:58, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Unwatch my page. Mind your own business. ThuranX (talk) 23:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

As for Mr. Butler. Since he's engaged other assistance, you first caught my eye at the WP:FRINGE talk page, arguing for looser standards and against keeping FRINGE a guideline, or elevating it to policy. You repeatedly demanded ridiculously high levels of 'proof' for a thing being pseudoscience and refused to back down. Since then, I've noted your behavior in other places, often linked to talk pages from AN/I disputes. That I didn't keep a list of places I saw you acting as you do isn't my fault at all, in fact, keeping such lists usually shows up on AN/I as 'stalking'. Instead, like any normal person, encountering another in a social setting, I formed an opinion of you over time, like being seated at the same table and hearing the same harangues at the company party. It's easy to demand 'diffs', but in opinions formed over time, that's far more difficult. ThuranX (talk) 15:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello ThuranX -- I've never posted to WP:FRINGE or its talk page. However, User:Tom Butler has, and his edits generally fit your comments above: "Fringe should not be policy"; "Okay, I will give up ... again". So it looks like you did have me confused with someone else. (I don't know Tom, but this isn't the first time someone has gotten us mixed up.)

You could have figured this out yourself if you had simply gone over to WP:FRINGE and checked the record, as I just did. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to find diffs. If you make assertions and then can't back them up with diffs, it only reflects on you, not the person you're criticizing. --Jim Butler (t) 01:00, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
