Sorry, I didn't mean to undo your removal of the speedy deletion... not sure how I rolled it back as vandalism. Tchaliburton (talk) 05:38, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Question

Why are you allowing this vandalism ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScottMMA (talk • contribs) 02:20, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Because that is how I roll. --kelapstick 02:22, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for rolling your own way. The sort of snickering (but bold) vandalism you reverted on three AfD procedures and one user page is a mere sample of the treatment editors have been getting since one user decided to clear a bunch of uncited "dead wood" last summer in the MMA/Kickboxing area of content. Thanks for the looking out. BusterD (talk) 03:30, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Indeed, I have been tangently following the MMA discussions, and briefly participated at the WT:MMANOT discussion. I will keep reverting as I notice things. --kelapstick 03:38, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting latest MMA Troll Mtking 03:35, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

No worries. I had preped an AIV report, but he stopped before I had filed it. --kelapstick 03:38, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Dick Clark

How is President Obama related to Dick Clark? The White House comments a lot but it is POV to become their wingman and insert all of President Bush or President Obama's condolences and comments into every Misplaced Pages article, I believe. What is the best way to discuss this? Auchansa (talk) 04:11, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

I believe they are third cousins. Replied on users talk page, where the discussion began.--kelapstick 04:25, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

In a way, it can be justified, if one is a lawyer and using legal technicalities. President Obama is America's rock star president and Dick Clark was a rock star promoter. Not quite related but, with a stretch, they are in related fields! Auchansa (talk) 05:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

See example. --kelapstick 05:26, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Just to make things perfectly clear, I am not opposed to Obama and don't have a strong opinion about including him in the Dick Clark article. I am slightly leaning toward not having it but am not violently opposed to a mention in the article. Auchansa (talk) 05:29, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Personally I don't think that articles should include what boils down to politician/celebrity eulogies in them at all. --kelapstick 05:35, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Want to suggest that there not be any eulogies? Auchansa (talk) 05:39, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't particularly want to, nor do I really care that much. They usually flesh themselves out after a few months I think, if you take a look at Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston, I don't think that they have them. Once the initial reaction dies down, the article gets improved and the get removed, I think. But if you want to propose it, you can go ahead on the talk page. --kelapstick 05:48, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

vandalism counter

I'm sorry to say that your vandalism counter actually encourages vandalism. Even a law abiding citizen like me could not help but to increase the counter by 2. Auchansa (talk) 05:38, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, well, I don't mind. Better to have my userpage vandalised than something in the real world...--kelapstick 05:45, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Witherspoon

Thanks for that!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:59, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Glad to help, clearly passes WP:RESSEWITHERSPOON.--kelapstick 22:01, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Sydneysider1979

Thank you for your help. Yes I am very new to this and just getting to grips with it all. I have only the intention of using my Sydneysider1979 account now and will look to close down the other one. Thanks very much Sydneysider1979 (talk) 02:29, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Replied on talk page. --kelapstick 02:32, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Okay

I see what you are saying, and thanks for telling about the removal of the template. Tboii99 ✉ 23:34, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi

This template must be substituted, see Template:Smile for instructions
And what/why is that trout? I feel previous version of your page was much better, you can revert it!--Tito Dutta 00:04, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked for sloth. Mining in Canada on Twitter still does not exist. Drmies (talk) 04:03, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

I will do my best after my block expires :) --kelapstick 04:48, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

After I put this here it occurred to me that it's a bit contradictory. Like punishing schools by taking their funding way if they don't meet AYP. Drmies (talk) 13:43, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

DYK for I Don't Want To Blow You Up!

On 30 April 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article I Don't Want To Blow You Up!, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that, according to a 2008 book, Kareem Abdul Jabbar doesn't want to blow you up? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/I Don't Want To Blow You Up!.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

How to get a woman out of her dress

Since you asked, and since I consider myself an expert on the matter (having successfully gotten a women out of her dress at least 3650 times in the last ten years - conservative estimate), I decided to share my secret with you.

Marry her. Then treat her nicely.

NB! Under no circumstances answer the question "Does this make my look fat?". "Yes" will get you into trouble for calling her fat. "No" will get you into trouble for lying to her. My suggestion is to suddenly start crying because you have (once again) realised how beautiful she is and how lucky you are, or feigning a heart attack.
