Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Test Your Might

Hey man, this AfD was closed as a merge, but the closing admin deferred making the actual merge to someone more well-versed in MK content. You want to take care of it? GlassCobra 19:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess you could consider me well-versed in MK. :) I'll jump on it in a bit. EVula // talk // ☯ // 03:36, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Totally lost track of this, what with some of the drama I've been dealing with. I'll try to do it later tonight... EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: On your future with Misplaced Pages

The reason why I have user talk so high is because I have nothing to do except cleaning up vandalism and improving articles. Do you have any suggestions? And did you get the messages as a template, because I would really like the template. -Goodshoped 06:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I see you've been given several leads on your talk page for where you can better focus your energies. However, I'm curious as to what you're talking about in regards to "the messages as a template". EVula // talk // ☯ // 06:45, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

You beat me

Looks like you beat me :) I was wondering why that edit wasn't showing up in my contributions! Redrocketboy 03:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm fast like ninja. EVula // talk // ☯ // 03:19, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

WP:UAA report

The reason I posted the username was because of this website the user has been copyvio-ing . The e-mail address on the contact information at the bottom of the first link is the user's username. I'm pretty sure that this is the promotional aspect you may have been looking for. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you think otherwise. Happy editing!

Created First Article

EVula I've created the Spellforce 2:Dragon Storm article, I've told the other's on the previous spellforce 2 article that they could improve it if they wanted to, i hope the article is fine SKYNET X1000 (talk) 09:46, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

My userpage

Thanks for the super-fast revert of the vandalism on my userpage! :-) IronGargoyle (talk) 20:09, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Getting to bust up vandals is thanks enough. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:09, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the heads-up

Cheers Tlogmer ( talk / contributions ) 21:18, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

LOLJimbo

OMG, Image:Loljimbo.jpg is the funniest thing. I hope people start making lots of those... нмŵוτнτ 22:15, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

commons:Category:Lolcats is the best category on any Wikimedia project ever. EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:18, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

FU?

I'd tagged Image:Fireflyvarietyad.jpg as orphaned, not lacking an "FU statement". You removed the image from Browncoat, orphaning it, I just tagged it as such. — pd_THOR | 19:04, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

You sure I'm the one that removed the image?
My bad for mis-reading the tag, but at any rate, it isn't orphaned anymore... EVula // talk // ☯ // 19:08, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

You're right, you didn't. I don't know what I saw when I was checking, but I was really surprised at thinking it had been you removing it in the first place. Oy vey, maybe it's time for a nap today. Sorry! — pd_THOR | 20:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, happens to the best of us. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:23, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Goodshoped

Thanks, I will train him well. Marlith /C 19:48, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I hope so. As I've said before (and is obvious from ANI), he's roused the ire of many an editor. While I hope for a change in his attitude, I can't say that I expect one; I look forward to being pleasantly surprised. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Dang, he left. Marlith /C 04:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Wait, what happened here? --FastLizard4 (Talk•Index•Sign) 05:09, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I actually somewhat know now that I just talked to him, but what really happened from your point of view? --FastLizard4 (Talk•Index•Sign) 05:24, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

From my point of view? An editor, who already had a troubled history with biting newbies, abusing userspace, and ignoring attempts by seasoned editors to give the editor constructive criticism on his attitude(s), somehow decided that it would be a good idea to tag an established user's talk page with an extreme and thoroughly unsubstantiated insult. After finally being called out on his disruptive behavior, he got pissed off and left. See User talk:Goodshoped35110s#On your future with Misplaced Pages, User talk:Goodshoped35110s#Notice and Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#My recent block of Goodshoped35110s for some starter reading on the topic.

Usually I'm not so flippant about such a situation, but I really feel that the contribution-to-disruption ratio was far, far too low for this to be seen, in the long run, as a bad thing for the project. EVula // talk // ☯ // 07:34, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the insults you got....

Well, to be frank, the way your # of contribs show and your weird wiki-editing nature, people might think you don't have a life. Is there any chance that you are addicted to Misplaced Pages? No offence or anything but that is an illness. Especially when you said "... I'm a fast ninja" above, that kinda raises some eyebrows. Don't be upset, I don't have anything against you :) (...must... edit.. wikipedia) huh what did i say? Can you be my friend? --µWiki Peers / Seeds (YouWiki) 21:53, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there any reason for this rather unpleasant comment? It's not an illness! It's a desire to write and maintain a 💕, that anyone can edit. Anyhow, it's pretty clear EVula does have a life - he's currently acting in a show. Sorry for intruding here, but I thought I had to say something. Thanks. Redrocketboy 22:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm not quite a wiki-addict, though I was joking with some folks last night about not having a life when talking about my nearly 200 WMF accounts. It's a valid concern, in my eyes. :)

However, like Redrocketboy pointed out, I do have at least some stuff going on outside of Misplaced Pages... (for example, so far this year, I've done productions of Wonder of the World, The Constant Wife, Arms and the Man, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and The Dresser) though I have to admin that I've brought my laptop with me a couple of times to the theater for my current show so I could get online during the hour or so between my scenes. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get on Misplaced Pages durring that time. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:24, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Don't attempt to alter/decrease EVula's editing patterns. He's beloved. Lara_Love 07:30, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

YouWiki, please read WP:HOLIC and take the WP:CRAZYTEST. One day, you might be as addicted as him. Time will tell. Marlith /C 23:37, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

This user does not want to be an administrator

If you google "this user does not want to be an administrator" (with speechmarks), this talk page is the only hit. Can u tell me where I might get one of those templates for my userpage please Ryan4314 (talk) 03:38, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, it only comes up because someone mentioned it here, though the discussion is now archived at User talk:EVula/Oct-Dec 2007. After poking around, I found the template at {{User wikipedia/Anti-Administrator}}. EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:09, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Aw cheers mate, thanks for looking for it. Ryan4314 (talk) 07:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Adopt me

--µWiki Talk / Contributions (YouWiki) 16:21, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, usually it's customary to ask... however, I could adopt you. What do you want to get out of the adoption? Where do you feel that you need the most assistance in? EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:35, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

RFA

Thanks. Regards, — Rudget _speak.work 18:07, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

My pleasure. It was done as much out of a desire to be helpful as a compulsion to edit every RfA, so it was a win-win for all involved. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:30, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Per Kurt's RfA: Lol, I know there wasn't any opposes - it was meant as a light-hearted joke and a comment on the fact there wasn't any. And no, I don't use templates. :) Cheers and thank you for the concern. Spawn Man 03:18, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Alrighty, it just looked really odd. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:10, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, I am really odd. :) Spawn Man 04:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you very much!!!

Thanks very much for participating in my RfA, which passed 71 - 4 - 3! I appreciate all the comments that were made and will do my best not to let the community down. Who could do otherwise with such a fabulous rainbow-colored mop?!?

Special thanks to <DREAMAFTER> for nominating me out of the blue.

Happy Editing!

EpicFlame, etc.

Hey man, thanks for pointing out that ANI link; I went over and described the situation, so things should be okay. :) By the way, did you ever get around to that Test Your Might thing? GlassCobra 09:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

No, I got sidetracked by some drama, though a cursory glance suggests it was taken care of by someone. Might need to go in and clean up a bit. EVula // talk // ☯ // 09:15, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

You..giggled?

Wow.. :P GlassCobra 20:38, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

My giggling is even more disturbing in real life, since I specifically try to make it as silly as possible. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Before viewing your edit , I had gotten my hopes up that I had received a highly coveted EVula vote!  :-) --Kralizec! (talk) 17:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Nashville photog needed for Wikinews

Any photographers (and by that, I mean anyone with a digital camera) that can make it to Nashville this Sunday at 6 pm, to photograph the final show of Jump5?

Details here: http://nashville.craigslist.org/crg/505941578.html

Let me know! -- Zanimum (talk) 18:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to be seeing a show in the Mt. Juliet area on Sunday, so I'm not sure if I'll be back in town in time or not. Sorry. :\ EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:40, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Really, really bad haiku from a new admin

Setting new lows in thank-you spam:

Janitor's new tools
Spam must stop -- will new mop act?
Ooops, .com blocked

New admin, new tools
Earnest newbie furrows brow
Fare thee well Main Page

New mess all about
Sorcerer's Apprentice mop
Not supporter's fault

A. B. so grateful
Misplaced Pages trembles
Watch out DRV

A. B. wonders why
Copyright always confused
Fair use, farewell, bye

Dear RfA friend,
I will learn, chaos will fade
Thanks so much ... A. B.

EVula, thanks so much for your support. I look forward to working with you in 2008.

Bathrobe cabal, baby!

• You're not bad looking at all for a Misplaced Pages administrator! Ryan Postlethwaite 21:09, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Ditto! ;) GlassCobra 21:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
