Wow! Finally, I'm on as an account member!
I'm afraid I haven't got much else to say, other than that there were thousands of problems I saw with the articles related to South Park, alone. I've already repaired a few of them, and you can read about a few of the ones I still want to have fixed up in the discussion threads
Did I mention I'm glad to be here again, since Misplaced Pages banned the right of editing without an account.

About me
With the help of other user pages, I managed to figure out how to say the following:
.svg){kind=small} | This user is female. |
| FG | This user thinks Family Guy is freakin' sweet. |
 | I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day! |
 | This user has a crush on someone. |
| teen | This user is a teenager. |
 | This user supports the legalization of same-sex marriage. |
 | This user demands you respect my authoritah! |
 | This user enjoys reading mysteries. |
|
This user is opposed to online censorship.* |
 | This user is part of the Welcoming Committee. |
| ⚤ | This user is straight but not narrow. | |
Like the box says, I am not homophobic. The only thing about homosexuals I stand against is gays (homosexual men) in the fashion industry, because they tend to make women dress, sculpt themselves, and act more like men. It's not right; it's just queer! (Every pun intended!!!)
Ancestry
The following countries (after Canada) are countries I am descended from. So, vandalizers, keep your grubby meathooks off their associated articles!!!
.svg){kind=small} | This user comes from Canada. |
 | This user is of English ancestry. |
 | Alba This user is of Scottish ancestry. |
Well, I don't know how to put in the boxes for these heritages, so I'll do the following:
(This user is of Polish Descent)
(This User is of German Descent)
(This User is of Dutch Descent)
(This user is of Danish Descent)
(This user is of Prussian Descent)
(This user is of Russian Descent)
(This user is of Swedish descent)
(This user is of French descent)
(This user is of Portugese descent)
Hopefully I'll eventually figure out how to add in userboxes on those.
Vandalizers
I don't have taste for Misplaced Pages vandals, and I assure them that it's more than just the articles associated to my family-countries; it's a lot of television shows, like South Park The Land Before Time and Iggy Arbuckle, and their associated pages, that they should not vandalize, or else I will get them for it (Peels off her gloves and shows her claw-like nails off for all the encyclopedia to see). And I am not afraid of the civility policies enough to avoid saying this to them on their talk pages...
My regards to the Misplaced Pages policies
I think certain policies (of the ones I know of, that is) are very good to go by, but others I sincerely hope will one day be abandoned by all users, and the following of them will be considered vandalism.
No original research - very good plan, I say. In many cases, such as with Ducky, original research can be very harmful. I've gently explained to those users (they are not vandals, just misguided editors) that she has been consistently referred to as a Parasaurolophus in all of the official material.
No speculation - I'm willing to go by this rule, but I am strongly opposed to it. Specualtion, granted that it doesn't border on original research, can be a very good thing. For instance, with minor characters Kevin (Chinese-American boy) and Esther of South Park, it should be noted that their strong resemblance to each other implies that they are twins.
No images of minor characters - WTH? Why on earth not? If the images have proper licenses and fair use or free use rationales, then why should they not be included? The image of Wendy Testaburger, for instance, is not only important (she isn't even a minor character, she has had enough prominent appearances to at least deserve an image, if not a private article), but also a very beautiful image of a very very beautiful lady, and Misplaced Pages should feel under a privilege to have the image dwell amongst its contents. Very peculiar and particularily dumb policy, to not allow certain character ranks to have images. Delete this policy right away, I say.
Licensing and rationalizing images and other files - I completely agree, every image needs a proper license for distribution in Misplaced Pages and most if not all need a fair use rationale. I've been very careful to follow these guidelines when uploading images.
Three of my favourite Edward Lear limericks:
There was an old man of West Dumpet,
Who possessed a large nose like a trumpet,
When he blew it aloud,
It astonished the crowd,
And was heard throughout all of West Dumpet.
There was an old person of Riminey,
Who said "Gracious! Goodness! Oh Jiminy!"
When they said "Please be still",
She ran down a hill,
And was nevermore heard of at Riminy.
There was an old man at a station,
Who made a promiscuous oration,
But they said "Take some snuff,
You have talked quite enough,
You afflicting old man at a station!"
