Genesis creation myth

What do you mean by "validity" of the myth ? It's been scientifically proven beyond reasonable doubt that the Earth is not 4000 years old. WP:NPOV doesn't mean we have to treat all positions as "equally valid". The word myth points the reader to the fact that the narrative is in fact symbolic structure, and not meant to be taken literally. Claritas (talk) 16:07, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Genesis does not necessarily say the earth is 4,000 years old. That's just one interpretation. No one has "proven" anything in regard to Genesis. And "myth" is understood by the average citizen to mean "fairy tale". Hence it's not appropriate as a title. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 16:21, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Impostor

He's back again but you already knew, eh? What gives? --Dave 03:48, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Could Pioneercourthouse, could be Lightcurrent. Or some other bozo. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 03:53, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

• These fellas are really no-lifers. BTW, do you watch LLS with Craig Ferguson? --Dave 03:56, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

• If we could harness their wasted energy, we could light up Weehauken for a year. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 04:01, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

• How about lighting up the Antarctic/Arctic region during the long cold and dark months? Tsk tsk tsk... such wasted talent~! --Dave 04:05, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

• No, but I probably should. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 04:00, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

• For the record, I must say that he is funnier than his boss David Letterman. And as for the impostor, it is the exit door for him again... guess there won't be any bus ride this time, eh? ;P --Dave 04:05, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

• I don't recall what his pseudonym was last time, but it occurs to me that he might have a lot of variations on it, some of which he might have created already. It would be fun to head them off at the pass. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 04:08, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

List of The Backyardigans episodes

I need your help. Please watch list the page for a week or so. 63.223.127.4 (talk) 01:54, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the show. How would I know which version of the debated info is correct? ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 02:49, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Please just look after it for me for about a week. You will see the IP vandal changing small facts. This is an important article for me. 63.223.127.4 (talk) 15:15, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Take Five

Us both coming up with the same answer, within 5 minutes of each other, suggests that the "cloned from toenail clippings" theory was right. :-) StuRat (talk) 15:24, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Scary, ain't it? ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 19:01, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Man, that Time Out album was a killer. Still have it, in case I ever get around to digitizing eight feet of vinyl. One thing, though, is that the songs are hard to whistle. Blue Rondo à la Turk, for example, is in 9/8, with a 2-2-2-3 pattern. It's hard to not make that last 3 into a triplet and force the meter into 4/4. Lemme get out my banjo and try...

photos

You wrote:

Then there needs to be a project to review all celeb photographs for "appropriateness" or "encyclopedic" value. Picking on one guy's photograph, when you've seen far worse, while leaving other "unflattering" photos intact, is itself inappropriate.

Maybe you are right. I'll think about this. I'm currently going by the theory that when a BLP subject comes after us and wants their biography taken down, our only sane public defense if we keep it has to include "look, the article meets super-high standards" which has to include the photography in it. We're less uptight with non-disputed articles. There's one right now (I won't say which) with quite an awful photo, but the subject is an active wikipedia editor and hasn't said anything about it, so I don't worry about it. 69.228.170.24 (talk) 12:14, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Re Planet

Perhaps we should be glad element 92 wasn't named Uranusium, see name etymologies#U, & . I was thinking we could avoid that word by using thesymbol. But it looks like the south end of a cat heading north! ;-) --220.101.28.25 (talk) 04:02, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Appreciate your opinion here~! Peeling away now... toodles~! --Dave 19:02, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I just want Dave1185 to stop. Wispanow (talk) 19:04, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

• Wow... he's a great stalker, following me wherever I go! Can I report him for stalking me? --Dave 19:07, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

This is hardly disengaging... –xeno 19:11, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

• You know something? I agree~! Let's be on our merry way now and ignore the fiendish one, shall we? --Dave 19:16, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

• Just to be clear, I was talking about your coming to Bug's page to ask him to comment on an issue you said you were going to disengage from. –xeno 19:19, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I gather this is a dispute about Boeing 737. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 20:10, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

• Not exactly... but he didn't stop at 737, instead he went on to User talk:BilCat and then mine to rant about his being templated for his mis-behaviour (Go take a look at his contribution history and talk page history, methinks you'll see the critical links there!). Just curious, is this still a disengagement or not? Because I really don't want Xeno to come harping at me later, you know? ;P --Dave 20:21, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

• Seems like he was irritated about being called out for edit warring. I can't say who's right factually, but he's been here for 3 years and should know better than to edit-war. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 20:27, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

• Thus, he is the Great Pretender... copycat-ing, harassing, stalking me and such. Does the above qualify as NPA? --Dave 20:33, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

• Great. Now I've got that song in my head. I'm missing where the copycatting is, though. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 20:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

• I knew it~! *lol* Well, he has thrice posted trollish remarks on my user page today, all of them were verbatim copies of warning templates/cautions I had left him for his own misdeed, and if those aren't copycat-ing, I don't know what is. Anyway, dumbness knows no boundary, like a certain "manhood" (reminds me of what Tim Allen's wife said to him as she motioned her hands over her ovaries, as mentioned in his book - Don't Stand Too Close to a Naked Man (1994) – ISBN 0-786-86134-7) talking to himself on his talk page right now. Bugs, why do we always get this sort of nutcase? (P.S.: Whats-the-name-of-that-volcano just blew its top~! Run for your life~!!!)--Dave 20:43, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

• User:Dave1185 will not stop with his trollish and harassing remarks!!! Lying about the chronology of edits, too. I want him to STOP HARASSMENT!!!! Wispanow (talk) 20:53, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

• You could do your part as well. :) ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 21:03, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Bugs, just to be clear... did we harass him or did he just came here to be harassed? I wonder if someone truly understands the definition of "harass". Anyway, I'm going to go "harass" my wife now... need to sleep~! ;P (BTW, this & this will tickle you pink!)--Dave 21:08, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure, but I note that he has been sent to take a 24-hour nap. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 21:23, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Your comments on Misplaced Pages talk:Reference desk

Several of your comments on Misplaced Pages talk:Reference desk were not at all helpful or beneficial to the discussion there - some of them could also be interpreted as personal attacks, and certainly not an assumption of good faith. Specifically, I am referring to all of your comments in the "Question Removed" section. These comments in particular:

• "The likewise-banned user Pioneercourthouse (which might be you, in fact) used to use the same childish argument - that somehow it was someone else's fault that he kept trolling." (AGF, NPA)
• "There is a way, but I don't want to discuss it here. The admins (or some of them) know what to do, if they choose to do so." - completely unhelpful, if you aren't going to answer a question, don't answer, don't tell people you aren't going to answer. Better yet, answer it.
• "LC is a cow. Cows spread manure. Which accounts for the theme and content of most of your edits. :)"
• "That reminds me, when are you getting out of Junior High School? Should be any year now."

Regardless of who you are talking to, it is expected that you continue to refrain from personal attacks and to not fan the flames of disruption by participating in it. Prodego 21:15, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

If you studied the recurring theme of his edits, you would understand the context. And since when does AGF apply to banned users? ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 21:19, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
