Thanks to the many of you who have asked about the situation in Southern California. Below is a picture from my office window. To be honest, walking outside is like walking into Hell. The sky is red. Ash covers the ground like snowflakes and every single breath hurts when inhaling. People are wearing masks, offices are on skeleton crews, and in 32 years, I've never seen anything like it. There are fires in every direction and whenever the authorities catch those who have done this, the culprits should not be afforded a trial; they should be fucking impaled and left outside to feel the burning in their eyes, and the embers in their lungs as a small taste of what they have coming to them. the_undertow 00:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
The disgusting portrayal of the sun at 4 in the afternoon.

Feel free

to talk as though none of this were happening. As long as I am here, I still have time to delete your article or block someone who reverts my edits. the_undertow 03:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

re:Guinea pig

Well, calling me a deletionist in general is probably fair. But in this case, it's not. The rule of thumb with uncited claims (forget where I saw it, probably just WP:V or the like) is: if it's potentially false but unharmful, just leave it and fact tag it. If it's uncited and potentially harmful, remove it. In an article which is supposed to represent the very best of Misplaced Pages, I consider it harmful for outlandish claims involving the eating of animals which most astronauts (read:Westerners and Russians) would find repulsive as food to stay without a very reliable citation.

P.S. Hope you're fairing well. Hang in there. VanTucky 18:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

It seems my sense of humor is still waiting for me at the bottom of my second cup of coffee :) VanTucky 18:33, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

This is far from enough to recognize your work...

Naathan Phan

Thanks for removing the notability tag! I've also added another gig, he was in Rent the musical. I've also emailed Naathan asking if he can add any more notable items to the article. -- GeĸrίtzĿ...•˚ 00:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Headline text!

My new Sig is the armor of my old friend Tijuana Brass (talk · contribs), I know I've had the same one for eternity, but change can be good. Or catastrophically bad. I'll flick you an e-mail, the net has been down 'till today. Cheers! Dfrg.msc 07:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

K, may be I'll just put an underscore in my sig. Dfrg.msc 07:34, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ffdposter2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ffdposter2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the personal touch. I think all bots should be made admins and sinebot should be a de facto crat. The rationale was fine. The image is great. the_undertow 23:56, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

A.Wyatt Mann

Hi, I created this page and I can certify that it was definitely not conceived as spam. Just reading the article makes it obvious that I am just trying to document the works of this person and not advertising them. Regards, Wedineinheck 09:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Massive and Sudden Deletion

Thats' a great diff! How in God's name did you do that?! It's like deleting the whole RfA page (which is massive now for some reason) has anyone said anything. I'll flick you an e-mail, I'm back to dial up speed. Hax. Cheers! Dfrg.msc 04:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Ah- new sig! Dfrg_msc 04:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

My recent RfA

Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Although the voting ended at 36/22/5, there was no consensus to promote, and the RfA was unsuccessful. I would like the thank you nonetheless for supporting me during the RfA, and hope that any future RfA’s proceed better than this one did. Again, I thank you for your support. ≈ The Haunted Angel Review Me! 02:28, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your support

Thanks for your support with respect to my request for adminship, which successfully closed today with a count of 47 support, 1 oppose. If you ever see me doing anything that makes you less than pleased that you supported my request, I hope to hear about it from you. See you around Misplaced Pages!
