(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth

Removing a Prod template isn't strictly vandalism. It demonstrates that someone objects to the deletion of the article, so I've listed it at AfD to get a broader cross-section of the community looking at it. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 03:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

It' wasn't so much the temp rm... it was the little rant added in that was pushing it. BTW, any track that isn't a single shouldn't have an article(for the most part). Heavy metal albums, in particular, have nn songs up the wahoo linked off of them. The bulk should just be re-directed. I am a staunch anon. I rejected my user account(after rolling over 21000 edits with it) for the purity of anonymous editing. If I were a logged user... I would be supporting, by vote, all of your recent AfD's. Good Luck! 156.34.210.48 03:16, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair point. I took the addition as being a different way of removing the prod template with a reason (as opposed to putting it in the edit summary), but I guess it can be taken however. Thanks for the support, too. I think this is going to be a long-term activity, getting rid of a lot of nn songs. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 03:27, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

You may meet with a lot of criticism, especially from the "metal" contributors. Heavy metal and all its related articles seem to bring out the worst in "crufty fanboyism" from a lot of editors... even those who are veteran Wiki contributors. Even, gasp!, an admin here and there can fall prey to the "let's fanpage it" disease. I respect your attempts to try and put the "pedia" back into "Wiki". 156.34.210.48 03:34, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I expect to, frankly. That's why I started relatively small with the non-singles on Iron Maiden's latest album, which I felt would be a bit less objectionable than a "classic". Given that someone pointed out that Metallica have articles on pretty much every song...well, I could hardly say no, could I? BigHaz - Schreit mich an 03:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Classic Guitar

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/Guitar#Acoustic_guitars, where the same statement about the 'Classic Guitar' is present. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.95.56.216 (talk) 03:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

It's wrong there too and should be removed. 156.34.210.48 11:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Userhood

Hello, 156.34.210.48. I saw your case on WP:AN/I. It seems that you have been removing User:Shutup999's contributions to Talk:Paul McCartney under the assumption that he is a sockpuppet of a banned user. Please try to assume good faith of our editors here before making accusations of wrongdoings.

That said, I had a look at your Contributions page and noticed that you have made a large amount of good-faith edits to a number of articles in the past two days. Honestly, I'd never seen an IP with that many contributions before, much less with half that many constructive edits. Have you considered making an account on Misplaced Pages?

Shutup999 is a sockpuppet of a troll.... an easy to spot troll at that... and will be blocked. As for me, I had a user account with over 21000 edits to my credit. I rejected over a dozen prompts from different wiki-friends to let my name stand for RfA. I seek no "WIki-glory" I am here for a single purpose.... to be just a trusted editor. And I can do that just as easy with a number as a made up name. So, a year+ later and over another 20000 edits as an anon... here I am. I still prefer the "purity" of anonymous editing... even with all the anti-anon hurdles that jump up in the way every now and then. I revert just as many "red-link" vandal-only accounts as I do IP vandals... a name isn't that important unless one wants to be an admin. And, like I said before, I don't. Have a nice day. 156.34.210.48 09:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Do you have any basis for that accusation other than the number in his name? It's not exactly uncommon to have a number at the end of someone's name, and 999 is likely to be a common choice due to its memorability. —Random832 16:20, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
