That comment was priceless. I would have used the Super Friends, but as it was, your post nearly made me nose-boot. Thanks. :) - Arcayne () 07:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Incidents Instigated Much?

An IP with a sense of humor it seems. :P I must say these are the most peculiar IP edits I've ever come across. -WarthogDemon 02:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I see. Well, it's been quiet now so maybe not this time. -WarthogDemon 02:21, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Apathy

Just An FYI

The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe is held in very low esteem by the general comic book fan/Wikipedia editor subgroup. Lots42 (talk) 01:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

You make valid points. But the usual method is to reference an example. Such as indicating that in BlahBlah Issue (number, month, year), EvilGuy, unaided, punched through an M-1 Abrams tank, then threw a taxi full of accountants into the sun'. That is more clear then saying 'The Handbook says he's really strong'. Lots42 (talk) 01:34, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I think you yourself just clarified why the handbook is not held in high regard. Plus, like I indicated, vague. Heck, IIRC, even the handbook itself said the comics themselves were more definitive. Lots42 (talk) 01:47, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Heads up

That IP that just vandalized my pages is a sock of a indef-blocked known sockpuppeter. β 00:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Judicial tyranny article

I am curious as to why you summarily reverted my changes to this article, which removed a large swathe of unsourced material which had no relation to the subject, was in many cases indisputably factually inaccurate. I believe my talk page explanation was clear. The material I removed was an attempt to turn a reasonable article into a rather wacky soapbox, and should have been removed long ago. Minos P.

Thanks. Semi-pp'd. Some are TOR nodes, some are not, but it's easier just to deny at present. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 01:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

My experience is that they tend to be open until someone tells the operators otherwise. In recent cases, they have been flagged as open and anyone seriously wanting to use those IPs can find others. Misplaced Pages cannot be responsible for its input, in my view. If IP operators tend to be lax about how they allocate IP addresses, then I'd suggest those that use those operators should find a more sensible way of contributing. I know there are difficulties from some countries, but all we have to go on there is how those IP users edit; and currently, it's not looking good. These are not politically oppressed activists, they are nuisances. Feel free to disagree. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 02:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's just the nature of anon IPs. Schoolkids tend to be naive, thinking if they don't log in, they can't be traced. Until, of course, we do a 6 month schoolblock and nobody can edit unregistered, which, on balance may be no bad thing. TOR nodes, I can see the advantage of for those who live in repressive countries and have no other way of reaching outside; however, like any open structure, there will be abuse. My own recent professional experience is in detecting paedophiles, and it's a technical nightmare, let alone explaining it all to a jury. Gone are the days of the BBS boards and the overt Usenet groups; even P2P is pretty well sewn-up, so it gets harder and harder. Meanwhile, at least here we can do something to keep it in-house. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 02:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
