Hit Snooze

'Zilla, nice little admin Risker was reluctant to delete my talk page along with my user page. Would 'Zilla, fearing no puny apparatchik, be willing? Let's say the intent is aesthetic; nothing says "grrr" like having both signature links in red. And Red is 'Zilla's favorite color, I'd wager.

There, a glint in the trees—

a great lizard's red eye
surveys forest and sky,
finding rain clouds and weeds,
'cyclopedic dis-ease.

Whiskeydog then join cousin Dogriggr, 'Zilla, et al in nice winter hibernation, including hot tub! (Can 'Zilla reply here, if and when awake.) Whiskeydog (talk) 08:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Arrgh. Deleting usertalkpages is perennial dispute matter, little Risker have some reason. But 'Zilla never set up for nice little admin; is head, by acclamation, of "alarming big admin" party. User talk:Whiskeydog has now been deleted per request, per blameless conduct, and per WP:RTV. See red link? Also per 'Zilla general liking of dogs. Hope Whiskey enjoy sociable hibernation, hope meet again some day! ( what size this hot tub? Similar Mariana Trench would suit well.) bishzilla _ROARR!! 00:25, 12 October 2008 (UTC).

Many thanks. Hot tub is many storeys high--seats around the edge at varying depths to accommodate each size of creature. (Though if the smaller ones get pushed off their ledge by a water jet, they'd better be able to swim!) Wonder what all float out of 'Zilla's pockets in water? Man-size lint? Ah... late-night hot-tubbing make Whiskey so sleeepeeee... Whiskeydog (talk) 06:22, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

User talk:Whiskeydog re-created by little Irishman. Re-deleted by Bishzilla per WP:VANISH, sig say "grrr" again. Leave it alone please. bishzilla _ROARR!! 21:51, 21 October 2008 (UTC).

Excuse me, you overgrown tuatara, I'm not little... and I'm Mexican, not Irish! Please give credit where credit is due.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 22:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

'Zilla very reliable. Whiskeydog actually prepare a request for re-deletion, but decide to save to text file instead. Here, now, is what Whiskeydog was going to say, and my wouldn't it have been amusing?

'Zilla, I hate to bother you again, but some cranks have made my talk page exist again. While I'd appreciate you deleting it once more, I've actually come to suggest some interesting administrative opportunities for you. You see, the editing of my talk page was not so much a dismissal of my right to pretend I've vanished as a direct challenge to your territory and authority. A little investigation reveals that big problem users were involved, and they knew that you had deleted the page, and they flaunted it.

• User:The Fat Man Who Never Came Back: This "man" is, like you, running for Arbcomm, and I fear he will be a popular populist pick among those with a sense of humor on Misplaced Pages . If that weren't enough, he attacked you on the very talk page that is supposed to have vanished.diff now deleted I suggest blocking him until the Arbcomm election is over (he mainly leaves peanut shells and pork rinds all over Misplaced Pages); you could use the copious non-essential bits of him in your next stew.

• User:Ceoil: recently had a hissy fit (his words) on your master's talk page. That's just one diff: he takes about seventeen edits to produce a sentence. Supports Fat Man for Arbcomm!

• User:JayHenry: recently had his attorney add you to his list of enemies. Thinks himself some sort of RfA consultant and therapist. This community posturing makes him harder to implement measures against; I suggest a death of a thousand cuts by bureaucratic means. Arbcomm cases, sockpuppet allegations, etc.

I've listed the nogoodniks in decreasing order of threat to you and your campaign. I realize 'shonen has encouraged you to act responsibly as an administrator, but I suggest that there are some things that we need to see more of around here, such as sentences that take a long time to get to the point, and good, old-fashioned atomic death rays aimed at problem users. Everybody wins, we go back to napping (not together ), and you don't have to tell master. Regards, Whiskeydog (talk) 23:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... looks like it might be about time to revive my list of enemies... --JayHenry (talk) 00:44, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Bishzilla

• . Aye, aye. 'Zilla aware of attempt to provoke her into protecting little Whiskey talkpage. Yawn... why protect when have sizzling atomic deathray to hand..? Always more efficient. Little Coeil (tactfully referred to as "little Irishman" above, though fat little Mexican apparently unable resist inserting himself unbidden in conversations... ) very properly apologize for hissy fit on 'shonen page, or would have found himself in deep trouble round about now. P. S. 'Zilla never tell little 'shonen anything! Come Pod, get yo ass back in Whiskey's comfy hibernation hot tub! 'Zilla ArbCom election campaign obviously have enough pests interfering without Little Stupid putting his oar in. Grab furry Mutley the Fishapod, watch the hypnoptic pendulum...sleeeep... Sleep! Right now! Zilla read no more scary stories to little pests tonight (Misplaced Pages not therapy!)bishzilla _ROARR!! 01:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC).

I wouldn't give a plushie to a dog. That's asking for trouble, and I'm not going to be sewing the flippers back on. Yomangani 01:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Yomangan! Is Back from Dead Living? 'Zilla already Fool you, Did give Dog Box of Plushies! Many Still Edible! Here, Do Have one. Err... Despite Plushie Credits, I promise, Am no Regifting! DOGRIGGR (deflea) 04:56, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

<Sigh.> Yes, it's true, young pup. Yomangan and I had a deal—or so I thought—regarding his inevitable retirement from Misplaced Pages. We had a fine spot picked out for him, not too far from the roped-off section reserved for the Old Masters, and thankfully at quite a distance from the New Critics. As is customary, we left plenty of wiggle room regarding a date (though sigificantly less wiggle room in the box). I cannot enforce contracts, though, and have no need to; I care not about money, and time is on my side (to quote some old men, for whom it most certainly isn't).

In a minute there is time / For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. Gravediggr (talk) 05:43, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

• Welcome page little Yomangan! Er, 'Zilla in fact did learn valuable insights from too hastily giving box of plushies to Dogriggr... hmfrr. Sadly, little dog tore stuffing out! :-( Still, not all dogs have oral fixation. Good friend Homicidedoggie Chihuahua use her Waspy plushy for comfort and cosiness only! Er... 'Zilla always assume so, anyway. Looking carefully at diff now, see something ominous in phrase "fun plushy". Not, surely, fun chewing flippers off..? Puppy, are you there? (Yomangan, please go sew flippers back on! Nice little job!) bishzilla _ROARR!! 12:59, 22 October 2008 (UTC).

In the room the bishes come and go / Talking of Michelangelo. Little Stupidr (talk) 00:17, 23 October 2008 (UTC).

Oh fer crying out loud. Shut up and get in hot tub! Always embarrassing 'Zilla! bishzilla _ROARR!! 00:23, 23 October 2008 (UTC).

That's quite the poetry reference for a Devonian monster. --JayHenry (talk) 03:36, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

• Fishapods very clever and highly eddicated, especially Tiktaalik. bishapod splash! 17:15, 23 October 2008 (UTC).

She was a bishapod shape of dazzling hue,

Vermilion-spotted, golden, green, and blue;

Striped like a zebra, freckled like a pard,

Eyed like a peacock, and all crimson barr’d;

And full of silver moons, that, as she breathed,

Dissolv’d, or brighter shone, or interwreathed

Their lustres with the gloomier tapestries—-

So rainbow-sided, touch’d with miseries,

She seem’d, at once, some penanced lady elf,

Some demon’s mistress, or the demon’s self. -- John Pleats

Hello Johnny! Bishzilla may be wearing nail polish, but handsome Pod freckled like a pard, nya nananana! See gold tooth? Don't be a dick, be a Lamia! bishapod splash! 19:06, 23 October 2008 (UTC).

• Oh boy... Little Stupid seems to have hit puberty or something. Bishonen | talk 19:09, 23 October 2008 (UTC).

• Bish, don't underestimate the little Pod. The nail polish, the eyelash extensions with a Jackie O hair-do under her nose, like a crimson peacock-feather mustache, fashionably spotty rainbow outfits from an assignment store in Alaska, self-confident swagger, crimson scowl and gold-tooth grin...no man, that's not puberty - that's strategy. Little Pod watching US election, liking lipstick on a pig-symbolic, ready to emanate dragon lady image to signal electability. All I have to say about that: When Zilla ready to kick butt, we pink sistahs ready to put on lipstick and fly to the voting booths. "A cobra vai fumar!" Pia (talk) 16:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Electable Pod

I cut down ferns, I skip and jump, I like to press Jurassic stuff

I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear papa!

Pod borrow diaphanous dress, little Pia? bishapod splash! 23:25, 30 October 2008 (UTC).

Candidate

Hello candidate I was hoping to use your talk page to find out more about you. I see a lot about dinosaurs. If I approached with a basket of cured ham, how would you respond? How would you improve the ArbCom, if not with fire? AlioTheFool (talk) 16:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Fire alone not sufficient; will be using atomic deathray. Little Alio click Archive, top this page, contain much information! See also userpage User:Bishzilla, list some friendly and helpful 'Zilla pages created such as personal Welcome Template (feel free use welcome newbies!) Ham acceptable, little users also acceptable. Nothing smaller than chihuahuas, please. 'Zilla big! bishzilla _ROARR!! 16:28, 10 November 2008 (UTC).

Blah!

They're already trying to oppress the mighty 'Zilla's campaign poster. Next thing you know, they'll say you have to be human to run for arbcom. Blah, indeed. Tex (talk) 22:26, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh noes! RAWWWWWR! Hmmm... I'd best trim it myself, then. RAWR! Trim self. bishzilla _ROARR!! 22:45, 10 November 2008 (UTC).

Bad would-be dino-arb! Wordy, prolix dino-arb! Newyorkbrad (talk) 23:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

...Oops. bishzilla _ROARR!! 00:14, 11 November 2008 (UTC).

Your candidate statement is a lot like free verse prose poetry. I like it. You definitely have my vote Mr.McCain Mr.Zilla. Scarian 14:37, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Heheh. Thank you little Scarian! bishzilla _ROARR!! 15:53, 11 November 2008 (UTC).

Recorded debates and discussions

Candidates and the community,

Wikivoices (formally NotTheWikipediaWeekly) would be interested in making several podcasts with candidates running in the 2008 English Misplaced Pages Arbitration Committee election. Given the high number of candidates likely to be signing up during the nomination stage (likely to be around 45) it will be a very busy 2 weeks. These shows typically last about one and a half hours to record, taking into account setup time, and are recorded using the free, downloadable programme, Skype. The programme can be used on Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems and is also available on some mobile platforms. If any candidates have problems with installing or running the program please contact either myself at my talk page or by email

There will be 2 formats being run over the next 2 weeks. The first will be general discussion with a small number candidates at a time with several experienced hosts from Wikivoices. Each candidate will be given 2-3 minutes to introduce themselves then the main body of the cast will begin. The topics discussed will vary in each recording to ensure fairness however the atmosphere will be generally free flowing. These will be running throughout the two weeks starting tomorrow. Specific signup times can be found here at our meta page.

The second format will be based on a similar style to election debates. Questions will be suggested here by the community. A selection of these will then be put to a panel of larger panel candidates with short and concise 1-2 minute responses. Other than an introduction and hello from each candidate, there will be no opportunity for a lengthier introductions. Specific signup times can be found here at our meta page.

It is recommended that candidates attend both formats of casts and we will try to be as flexible as possible. We are looking for the greatest participation but also for shows with enough members to keep it interesting but not too many that it causes bandwidth and general running issues. I look forward to working with all candidates in the coming weeks.

2-3 minutes of deafening roaring. Make sure you take a big breath before you begin. Yomangani 01:52, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom Candidate Template

Hello, fellow candidate! Just so you know, in an effort to announce our candidacies and raise further awareness of the election, I have created the template {{ACE2008Candidate}}, which I would invite you to place on your user and user talk pages. The template is designed to direct users to your Questions and Discussion pages, as well as to further information about the election. Best of luck in the election!

Bishzilla?!

Bishzilla? What on earth? So what's the current status of the line behind the Reichstag at this moment? =Nichalp «Talk»=

Hello little Nichalp. Reichstag line wilting... 'Zilla young and lighthearted at time of her RFA, arrange suitors in line for consideration, including friend Zockpuppet, Creature from Black Lagoon, etc. Older and wiser now! Opting for single life and wild sex! bishzilla _ROARR!! 16:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC).

Little Niczilla will also be patiently standing at the Reichstag queue after FileZilla, BugZilla, Go!Zilla and Godzilla. Bishzilla should keep a tankard of beer ready for 'em :) =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:37, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Good morning. I've posted the list of General Questions to your Questions for the Candidate page, here. Please review them at your convenience. Thanks, UltraExactZZ ~ Evidence 14:15, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
