I prefer to keep conversations in one place in order to make it easier to follow them. Therefore, if I have begun a conversation with you elsewhere, that is where I would prefer you reply and is probably where I will reply to you.

If you would rather communicate by email, it will expedite matters if you leave a note here to inform me you have sent an email.

Do you actually want to be blocked? I'll consider your request iff you meet my criteria, Click here to see them.

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Bishonen#Policy. Looks like you would be willing help Bishonen with this. I think all conditions are met.--Elvey (talk) 19:52, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Happy New Year

Early archiving

I noticed that, in November, you simultaneously removed a tag and archived the related discussion. If your behavior was procedural, I think it was premature and has now had the effect of implying that you "contested" the proposal. If you were indeed against the proposal, then you deserve a finger-wagging for stifling conversation with a premature archive in a way that superficially appeared to be merely procedural. — Ƶ§œš¹ 19:14, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

The merge tag was added to the article here]. That's May 19th 2010. No actual proposal for merging was made on the talk page at that time. Fast forward to October of this year. You made a comment and the person who added the tag replied. More than a month later I removed that tag and archived that page. How anyone could think that it was premature is a bit obscure to me, so your "finger wagging" is a bit misplaced from where I am sitting. For the record I have no opinion whatsoever on the actual merge proposal. While I can't say two comments over a period of two and a half years constitutes a consensus there is also a lack of consensus against the merger so instead of complaining to me I suggest you review WP:SILENCE and WP:SOFIXIT as they both seem to apply to this situation. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:05, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello?

I see you're back. Are you going to consider my request here?--Elvey (talk) 00:32, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

(Belated} Barnstar

It's a little late, but I've been meaning to give this to you for starting up the FZ project:

		The Original Barnstar
		For finally getting the WP:ZAPPA project started

ComputerGeek3000

I think you jumped the gun just a bit. He was originally blocked by copyright violations. When he returned, he started by posting fair-use images of living people, but with correct sourcing and copyright information. Once I pointed out the problem with images of living people, he stopped, and every subsequent image was of dead people. He was clearly listening to warnings and modifying his behaviour to take them into account.—Kww(talk) 00:58, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

That's what I get for just going by the warnings. I'll have another look. I'm still concerned about the utter lack of communication though. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:23, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Just saw that block-unblock thing. Kww is right up to that point, which is also the reason I didn't block again. The reason I gave him that final warning was because of his last upload: he first uploaded a non-free image of a deceased person, with correct attribution and everything, but it happened to be from a commercial agency, so it had to be deleted as F7. Innocent mistake, so far. But he then re-uploaded the same image and changed the authorship attribution to "unknown", as if trying to circumvent the rule with a falsehood, so that's basically another deliberate copyright violation, in my book. I'll be happy to leave it up to you how to further deal with him. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:45, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm hoping they will get the point from my unblock message that when they are not sure what to do they should ask for help instead of guessing or worse, lying. It is possible they will manage to do that but I am not holding my breath. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:48, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Arbcom Reform Party

You are an admin and you should know better than engage in personal attacks like this one (especially the edit summary). Please redact. Nsk92 (talk) 23:53, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

The evidence of his dishonesty is manifest right there on that very page for all to see, as well as at his candidate page for the recent arbcom election. If he is going to be the leader of this useless organization he will need to be able to face that his actions will be criticized. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:44, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

You might want to re-read the opening paragraph of WP:NPA: "Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Misplaced Pages. Comment on content, not on the contributor." Criticism is one thing, but giving your post the summary "Oh, and you are a liar" is not criticism, it is a personal attack. Nsk92 (talk) 13:49, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

The problem in this case is that the "content" is the party itself, which is being run by a person who has shown a staggering pattern of WP:IDHT behavior along with outright dishonesty. The content and the contributor are more or less the same thing in this case. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:55, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka

Are you familiar with a certain users vandalism and talking style?

It seems that you know him, as you've reported him using socks years before, so I would like to ask you if you're familiar with his older incarnations or talking style. I do not know where he operates, so I can't check anything back then. From the list of people who report his socks on sock investigation page, most users who have dealt with him more than once have retired. The current suspected sock has respond to my message. Can you take a look at and tell me what you think? There's also an ongoing investigation of whether Redcoyote18 is Bambifan101's sock here , and a CU says that the physical location is quite different. We're still waiting for more opinion from another CU at the moment, but more entry from someone familiar with him will be appreciated. If Redcoyote18 is indeed innocent, like, a good faith but misguided/disagreeing editor, I would want to give him a fair chance. May I have your opinion in this regard? Anthonydraco (talk) 14:26, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

It's been a very long time and I'm not sure I would be able to say one way or the other, but I will have a look. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:45, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

From what I am seeing I don't think it is him. Although he has certainly been known to alter his targets and style in the past this seems like just some other hard-headed person. I could elaborate on my reasoning by email if you like, I'd rather not get too detailed here, just in case. Either way they are probably headed for a block. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:36, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. But there's no need to do it via email. I've added the link to your response to the sockpuppet investigation page. More than one user, including me, suspect that a new user is the case. The spelling's different. Once I learned that this user's location is quite different from Bambifan101, I asked around. Gotta give this user a fair chance. Anthonydraco (talk) 23:01, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Bears. Grrrrrrr.

Hey, Beeblebrox. I'm wondering whether this was such a good idea. The page has 229 watchers, which should be more than adequate to ensure that valid edit requests don't languish. There have been six edit requests over the past six months—not exactly what I'd call a "high number". Five of the six requests were answered the same day; the sixth, which required a fair amount of thought, was answered within two days. The most recent request (the one that brought me to the article for the first time ever) probably would have been accepted had it been posed as a pending edit, and it might well have been left unmodified, which would have been unfortunate. If you'll notice, what the user requested was less than what was optimal, and less than what I did. If it ain't broke . . . imho. Rivertorch (talk) 11:15, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

• From what I have seen so far most PC edits are being reviewed within one hour so it is hoped this will encourage users to submit edits. if it doesn't work it can be changed back to semi easily enough. Beeblebrox (talk) 16:40, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm skeptical that Bear is the sort of article that would benefit from PC, being of the top-level, heavily watched persuasion. I had hoped it would be applied more conservatively, specifically to solve demonstrated problems that under-watched pages are having under semi. Anyway, I guess it's fitting somehow that you're the one to PC the first PCed article on my watchlist. (I actually mean that in a a nice way, believe it or not.) Rivertorch (talk) 19:32, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I should have mentioned as well that it was under PC during the trial and was put back under semi when the trial was over. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:00, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Around

Are you around? Youreallycan 06:15, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Not sure if you mean in general or right this second, but the answer to both is "sort of". Beeblebrox (talk) 06:17, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Cool - would you please remove my rollbacker right - I don't need it an it seems to affect twinke in a net loss sort of way. Thanks - Youreallycan 06:19, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

 Done Beeblebrox (talk) 06:23, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Many thanks to you Beeblebrox - Youreallycan 06:24, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

You know, now that you mention it I have been having trouble with twinkle lately. But rollback is automatic in the admin toolkit, I don't think I can get rid of it without turning in the whole set. Maybe some tech nerd has a fancy script for this... Beeblebrox (talk) 06:27, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I would consider this removal to be somewhat "under a cloud", as I'd just warned YRC for inappropriate rollback use prior to this request, which YRC removed just prior to making this request from you: . I find the timing...interesting, to put it mildly. Seraphimblade 07:07, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

To be perfectly honest, I consider rollback to be a more or less worthless user right. Since YRC requested it be removed because it was interfering with Twinkle (which has rollback included in it and can be used by anyone who has registered an account) it seems fairly unimportant either way. Beeblebrox (talk) 07:22, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

True enough, just wanted to let you know what's going on. By the way, I happen to be a tech nerd, would you have some interest in a .js that suppresses rollback for admins? I'm not sure if that's possible or what interference it would cause with Twinkle, but if it's acting up, it might be worth a few lines of code. Seraphimblade 07:27, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Well, I am not entirely sure rollback is the issue. Twinkle rollback sometimes does not work for me, but I have also been having issues with its protection function. I suspect it is related to the tool not being optimized for iPad, which is how I have been editing much of the time lately. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:19, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Userfy deleted

Could you please userfy the deleted version of List of defensive gun use incidents for me? Gaijin42 (talk) 16:48, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

 Done. see User:Gaijin42/List of defensive gun use incidents Beeblebrox (talk) 18:16, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

thanks! Gaijin42 (talk) 19:51, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Penyulap

I have not got to the bottom of the block yet, but I can say with a fair degree of confidence Pen is not a suck-puppeteer in any way that is significant. These claims were made based on a number of misunderstandings, which reflect badly on us as a community. As I say I am not exonerating Pen completely in regard to other matters, because I have not investigated them (and maybe never will) but so far he comes up, if not squeaky clean, at least clean enough, and as they say "more sinned against than sinning". Rich Farmbrough, 05:14, 13 January 2013 (UTC).

I don't really know myself, but I was under the impression they had repeatedly bragged about socking. However I also understand Penyulap has a somewhat unusual sense of humor and overall style of communication. At the moment I'm not sure it really matters given the bizarre rant submitted as an unblock request. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:55, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Block of Ucycoin

You blocked Ucycoin (talk · contribs) for having a "promotional username". Can you please explain the reasoning for that block? — Hex (❝?!❞) 15:32, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Never mind, I found the reason by examining the old revision of their sandbox. — Hex (❝?!❞) 15:35, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Laina

Please unsalt. I want to redirect it to Overly Attached Girlfriend#Laina. CallawayRox (talk) 21:16, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

 Done. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:54, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Message from ComputerGeek3000's IP address

Dear Beeblebrox, JeremyA blocked my account for violating copyright policy again, but I didn't upload no more images on Misplaced Pages and I continue to edit without violating copyright policy, and I read the Misplaced Pages:Copyright violations, Misplaced Pages:Copyrights, and Misplaced Pages:Non-free content project pages and I fully understand the copyright policy on Misplaced Pages and I did what you told me, not to upload no more images on Misplaced Pages and that is what I did. 69.209.202.155 (talk) 18:45, 15 January 2013 (UTC).

Note that Computergeek3000 has been found socking on Commons, using sock accounts to upload the images there and linking to them here.—Kww(talk) 19:12, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

I would also note that block evasion is the surest path to not being unblocked. please use the unblock template as described in the notice on your talk page. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:16, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

You have a new message!

John Evangelist Stadler

Hello and thanks for tagging this for notability back in Jan 2008. I've removed it because inclusion in The Catholic Encyclopedia seems to prove notability. If you disagree, you may want to consider taking it to the Notqability Noticeboard or AfD. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 09:28, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, and my apologies

Thanks for your informative help. And my apologies for my ignorance having caused me to unwittingly break Wiki rules.Tlhslobus (talk) 10:12, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

3 year old edit

Hello, Beeblebrox! When I read a WP article I have a habit of checking it's evolution throughout the years via the page history, and I sometimes do this on its talk page, too. Which brings me to an edit you made 3 years ago. In this edit, you removed a large chunk of a talk page with the edit summary "archiving/tagging" but I can't find an archive. Was this accidental? If so, could you please create the archive? Forgive me for pestering. Rgrds. --64.85.214.103 (talk) 09:33, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I just tried to do so, and got a spam filter message: "The following link has triggered a protection filter: <redacted>.associatedcontent.com Either that exact link, or a portion of it (typically the root domain name) is currently blocked." So, somewhere in that chunk of text is a link to that website that is being blocked. I had to redact the prefixes just to reprint the warning here on my talk just now! I vaguely remember this now, I searched the text but could not find the link. I could swear i also remember explaining that on the talk page at the time, but I don't see any such edit now. Beeblebrox (talk) 15:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Whoa, I got it to work: Talk:Cult of personality/Archive 1, but now I don't know what to do with it. Could you make sure the talk page is linked to the archives properly and check that I did it right. The offending link was in the first sentence of the George W. Bush section (the text in italics, I replaced the "." with "<dot>"). Rgrds. (Dynamic IP, will change when I log off.) --64.85.215.183 (talk) 17:17, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Nice work, looks good. I added the relevant tags to the archive and talk page. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:31, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

List of Bell TV channels

Is there a way to access the source code for the now-deleted List of Bell TV channels, please? With all the hard work put into it, i wish Misplaced Pages would at least allow the chance to move this to (say) a channel listing Wiki. Thanks! --True Tech Talk Time (talk) 20:38, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

 Done See User:True Tech Talk Time/List of Bell TV channels. Please be sure to properly attribute any content that is reused elsewhere. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:15, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Blocked as compromised account

I have blocked this account as apparently compromised - the latest series of edits are not typical behaviour for the editor in question. I will be opening a thread on WP:AN (✉→BWilkins←✎) 21:49, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

The account is most definitely not compromised. --Rschen7754 21:50, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Disagree. Please unblock. I see an editor frustrated by another, but no compromise of account. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:51, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Are you fucking kidding me B? It is me, not compromised, and I have often told thick-headed people who refuse to stop posting to my talk page to fuck off. See User:Beeblebrox/fuck off, a page all about how I reserve the right to do so. Please undo this ridiculous block right away. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:52, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

You have mail, Beeblebrox. Please respond. Bishonen | talk 21:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC).

Like the others, I don't think this is a compromised account, but I do think Beeblebrox has flown off the handle in an unbecoming manner. While blocking for being a compromised account isn't the right call, I'm not at all sure that we could hold to a civility policy of any kind while not dealing with someone who calls others "petty fascist idiot"s. Beeblebrox, dial it back. Please? I know you don't entirely buy into the civility thing, but consider that calling Kosh names is no more likely to make him do what you want than punching him in the face, and significantly less likely to do so than just not talking to him anymore. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 21:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Unblocked. I care not a whit for the civility questions, as blocking someone because you think they could never be angry and therefore must be someone else entirely is pretty bad. --Golbez (talk) 22:00, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I can confirm in my role as a CheckUser that the edit was not made by a compromised account. Tiptoety 22:02, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

My decision to block as potentially compromised was an WP:AGF reaction to the wholly out-of-character personal attacks made from the account. That type of phrasing towards any editor - whether in the middle of an argument or not - is not typical behaviour for Beeblebrox. If CU says it was not compromised, then I'll believe it, and I'm sorry ... I'm going to be absolutely shocked instead, it appears (✉→BWilkins←✎) 22:05, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

AGF my ass B. All i wanted was for a thick headed person who completely misunderstands what Misplaced Pages is and how it works to quit posting nonsensical crap to my talk page. He chose to try and war the section back open, so I turned up the volume to try and make my position more clear. Nothing more complicated than that. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:08, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I too am very confused by the use of "AGF" here. You assumed good faith that Beeblebrox couldn't possibly be that pissed off, so it must have been someone else? To remove so much agency from someone seems insulting on its own, let alone the consequences it had. --Golbez (talk) 22:31, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

That's why I just hat the thing and rollback any further comments --Rschen7754 22:09, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

• Note to Bish I got an email from UTRS in response to an unblock request and another from an arb making sure I hadn't gone crazy. If you weren't referring to one of those I guess try again. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:30, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

• • Well, I happened to catch sight of your famous all-caps edit summary just after you posted it, and tried twice to contact you via the wikimail feature, just before and just after you were blocked. I got the "Your e-mail has been sent" screen both times, but something technical clearly went wrong nevertheless, because I never got the confirming copies to my own address. I was just about to ask if they reached you; clearly not. Anyway, all I wanted was to express my sympathies with the sentiment in your inappropriate edit summary, suggest you cool down, offer to revdel your edit… stuff like that, pretty obvious and of course all moot by now, along with my offer to unblock you, which was in my second message. Large trout to BWilkins for unnecessarily escalating this with the silly "compromised" idea, which could easily have been checked (as it was). And if you feel you need something like that yourself, Beeblebrox, you may regard yourself as being in receipt of Darwinbish's NPA template. Bishonen | talk 22:56, 22 January 2013 (UTC).

Allrighty. I would guess the email fail has to do with the big server migration going on this week. I'm fine though, really. I'm used to folks freaking out on the (very few) occasions I have felt it necessary to cuss someone out, but I can't say I expected what happened today, and I certainly don't need arbcom all up in my grill, but I assume this will all blow over and at some point Kosh will finish digging his own grave. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:07, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Quite likely. But first, he gets a free go at shouting FUCK OFF YOU PETTY FASCIST IDIOT at someone who annoys him. He will be blocked of course, but then quickly unblocked when he screams "but look what happened to the admin who said exactly the same thing to me". Just saying. Moriori (talk) 23:40, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Not really, since an arbitrator has now zapped the edit summary. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:45, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

hey ...

Sorry to see ya had a bad day Beebs. I don't know the details (don't need to know) .. but I know you're one of the good guys, so I hope it all chills for ya. Try not to be too pissed at BW .. he's a good guy too - just things spinning out of control is all. Have a beverage of your choice, and smile when ya wake up in the morning. Cheers. — Ched :  ?  23:52, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I've already popped by his talk page with a "no hard feelings" message. I know he thought he was doing the right thing. My wife is at the store buying fajita supplies and beer as we speak. Although, funny as it may seem, I really was not too upset, I just consider what I did trying to send a message to someone who didn't seem to get it when I sent the same message with less harsh language. Others clearly did not see it that way, such is life. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:25, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

That was all a bit unexpected. Anyway, welcome back, and enjoy the beer! RashersTierney (talk) 01:36, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

A beer for you!

With a hearty 'fuck you' to boot! Take it easy Beeblebrox. Drmies (talk) 02:03, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Unblock review request

About the thread at AN. After seeing the user(s)'s responses and the community's position, I think that it is safe to say unblocks are in order despite other concerns. You've listed yourself as the reviewing admin and I do not wish to step on your toes, so I'll let you handle it as you see fit. Salvidrim! ✉ 05:35, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me, with all the other chaos here the last 24 hours I hadn't been giving that situation much attention. I have closed the thread and unblocked the accounts. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:06, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

On another matter

Hi. I don't think we've talked but I've seen you around. I wonder if I might ask your opinion on a couple of things. (1) I never swear or engage in ad hominem on article talk pages. I almost never swear on project pages and, though I sometimes discuss the behaviour of others on project pages, I never engage in ad hominem on them. I say whatever I like on user talk pages but expect others to not address me when I tell them not to, and extend the same courtesy. (It pisses me off heartily when people tell me what I can and can't say or talk about on user talk pages.) (2) I'm worried about the way BWilkins uses his block button. Do you have a view on that? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 13:15, 23 January 2013

Hi Anthony. And hello to anyone else looking for any sort of summary statement from me about my actions and block yesterday. Here it is and I don't plan to speak on this matter any further unless there is some unexpected new development.

I almost never swear here either, somebody really has to be acting the fool before I resort to it. While I believe most folks don't find it to be that big of a deal, there is an extremely vocal minority that will freak out when anyone uses a "bad word" for any reason. Of course what I did yesterday ended up going a bit beyond that. For the record, I would do exactly the same thing again, up to and including the first "fuck off" message. I did and do believe it is every user's right to disengage from a conversation on their own talk page that has degraded past the point of usefulness. Any person who keeps posting after being asked to stop is basically trolling and I will always support the right of any user to tell someone who is behaving like that to fuck off. They need to told to fuck off since they are not responding to normal language asking them to stop. But , clearly, I crossed the line yesterday and yes, I did post an angry all-caps attack on another person in an edit summary. Whether I had the "moral right" to do that or not it was and is against site policy to ever engage in name calling. And that is as it should be, if everyone behaved like that all the time we would never get anything done and a lot of valued users would leave. So, short version, I think I did make a mistake, but just one. Everything up to that point I stand behind 100%.

As to your concern about how B uses the block button, in this case he was in error about what was going on and he probably should have quietly spoken to a CU before just blocking, but he was acting out of a genuine belief that my account had been compromised and a genuine desire to protect WP from harm, and I was only blocked for nine minutes so I can't say I see a real problem there. If there are other block actions he has made you have other issues with I would suggest you discuss them with him directly. He's pretty easy to talk to and I count him among "the good guys" around here, he just sees things in a a slightly more black-and-white/right -vs- wrong light than I do. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:24, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Beeblebrox, wasn't BWilkins sitting at the table with us in DC? Do you think maybe he was pissed cause you ran off with those three Swedish chicks who knew men only from books? Drmies (talk) 23:16, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I fully accept that I may not be welcome here and I am genuinely sorry that I used your recent outburst as an example. It was sincerely not meant to be a personal attack as some have stated. If I had looked, I am sure I could have found similar examples from others. However, on the basis of this (point 3) and your subsequent reply, would you be willing to request a reversal of the revision deletion to place it back on the record? --Senra (talk) 17:11, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

It seems like everyone knows what it said by now regardless. I'm not really in the mood to trouble the arbs about this but for the record it was User:Risker who did the revdel, If you want it undone that would be who you need to talk to. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:48, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you --Senra (talk) 18:03, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

An award for you!

	The Misplaced Pages "Tell it like it is" award
	For the inherent lack of ambiguity and the ability to clearly communicate a point to another user as seen in User:Beeblebrox/fuck off. Ritchie333 14:28, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

While I get that a lot of people appreciate Beeblebrox's bluntness, I have to ask - Ritchie (and Beeb, I guess) - do you really intend to communicate here that what it "is" is that Kosh is literally a fascist idiot? Because that's what Beeblebrox said - he didn't stop at "fuck off"; rather, he called Kosh a very insulting thing as well. I just want to make sure you guys are aware that while "tell it like it is" might make sense for "fuck off" (which is basically a blunt, impolite "go away", not any character aspersion), it certainly doesn't for "fascist idiot" unless you're really arguing that that's what the other person is. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 15:26, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

It's more a comment that I find that Beeb's user essay tickles my sense of humour. 'Tis all. Ritchie333 15:44, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks fot the award, and see my comments two sections up for what I hope is my final statement on this incident. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:45, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
