A New Man?

Hey Bri, thx for the star and gl in your continuing crusade against the cruftlicious Dirty Sanchez and friends. I am keeping an eye on things. Took me a minute to figure out you'd started a new user name... Deiz 12:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Zoog merge

I saw the merge notice on "Zoog"; however I instead merged the article into Dreamlands. This is because this race appears in the writings of other authors outside Lovecraft's Dream-Quest, such as Brian Lumley's dreamland pastiches. (I do agree the article needed to be merged.)

Barnstar

Thanks! I almost missed it in the sea of Southern Baptist edits on my watchlist :-) Just zis Guy you know? 23:32, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

merge and talk

It is too bad you hadn't gone to Talk:Indigenous peoples of the Americas and made your case for the merge earlier. It might have made a difference with me and others. It is customary for people proposing a merge to state his/her case on the talk page. I have often reverted inclusion of the {{mergefrom}} or {{mergeto}} or {{merge}} tags when the editor who inserted it didn't comment on why. --rogerd 01:32, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I agree with your redirect on the other article. --rogerd 01:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Maybe the winged pony will belch stingless bumblebees after all.  :) -ikkyu2 (talk) 23:33, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Research before AfD

Please, please, PLEASE do your other editors a favor and do some research on articles before recommending them for deletion. Head Automatica certainly reaches multiple levels of notability as put out by WP:MUSIC, and when it's put forward that they don't, it merely increases the load on everyone else. Please consider some care before prodding and AfDing. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 22:19, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Plastic Figure Fighting

Ok, before this crap is deleted---which it obviously should be---would you object to it going to BJAODN. I didn't want to mess with the prod, less it be here a minute longer than required, but really think the tale of these lame-o teens rasslin' with their dolls needs to be saved for comedic posterity. youngamerican (talk) 01:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Done. Check out Misplaced Pages:Bad_Jokes_and_Other_Deleted_Nonsense_ON_WHEELS!!#Plastic_Figure_Fighting when you need a laugh. youngamerican (talk) 01:33, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Sapiosexual

In your nom you didn't actually vote delete.... Esquizombi 03:02, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Exclusionist/Deletionist guild?

Should there be? I'm rather dissapointed at the no-consensus on Automatic washroom and Fart extinguisher based on the intervention of a few sophomoric editors (who are now busy collecting it at flatulence humor. I fear fart alarm will go the same way.--Mmx1 19:07, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

BJAODN

Which article did that entry you just put into BJAODN come from? Fourohfour 23:42, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

(Following comment was originally posted at my talk page)
I took it from my old user page. It's something I wrote while trying to get Liberty Dollar deleted. Brian G. Crawford 23:45, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Hmm. I guess that makes it "deleted nonsense", but it strikes me as a somewhat vanity inclusion. Then again, at least half the stuff in BJAODN isn't really posterity-worthy either.
While, I'm here, I removed the PROD from Buttered Cat Paradox and intend AfDing it; I oppose the deletion, because the phenomenon, whilst very silly, is nevertheless well-known and notable. But I prefer to have a proper discussion about it instead of merely removing tags.
Fourohfour 23:56, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
On second thoughts, I've removed the entry at bad jokes. From your history, it appears that you genuinely dislike this thing (which may be a valid viewpoint, I don't know), and the reply to your comment still didn't make it that funny. Fourohfour 00:06, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Neon Zoo

This was not a speedy candidate (as you tagged it), since where they played is an assertion of notability. You are free to challenge that assertion if you wish, by taking it to AFD. If you used PROD, or AFD, I wouldn't have opposed you (given its current state), but a speedy just doesn't fit policy in this case. --Rob 02:57, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Anal jewelry

Did you notice that the last edit before you degraded the article into a dictionary definition. I'm complaining about this on the talk page. --Easyas12c 12:54, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Recent prods

Brian, would you consider not prodding anything that is notable, but may have original research, and instead tagging them as needing sources? Too often, it seems that you're prodding/AfDing based on issues that could be dealt with by dealing with sources FIRST before going the deletion route. Please consider it. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 23:27, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Dartmouth College's motto

It's turned into a revert war again, so I'm bringing the discussion to the talk page again. You were one of the people who replied on the first (now archived) discussion that occurred, so I was wondering if you'd like to give your input again. See Talk:Dartmouth College#The_Motto_(again) for the current discussion and Talk:Dartmouth_College/Archive_1#The_Motto for the archived discussion. --/TALK 16:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Donkey punch

You have already been warned once about blanking this article. Stop your vandalization of this article. — Linnwood 20:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Threats

I suggest you stop leaving threats. Act like an adult. If you wish to make changes to an article propose them on the talk page. Misplaced Pages is not your private website. — Linnwood 09:13, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Soggy biscuit

Hallo- I noticed that you posted a 'Delete' vote on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Soggy biscuit (2). I have recently posted some new material that I feel satisfies the requirement for WP:N and WP:V- hopefully you may feel the same. In any event, best wishes and apologies for the intrusion. Badgerpatrol 20:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Talking on your behalf?

Regarding this comment

I didn't authorize User:Fourohfour to speak on my behalf, and I truly resent his comments.

at another user's talk page: I do not understand why you believe I spoke on your behalf, particularly given the dialogue between us over the past week. I would appreciate it if you could tell me where you believe these comments to be. Thank you. Fourohfour 19:29, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Noah dudziak

Hello! I note you placed a speedy tag on the above article. I did the same eariler today but, upon reflection, realized that hoax articles do not meet WP:CSD. Therefore I prod'ed it and, after the author removed the prod, I took it to AfD. It is now on AfD here, in the event you would like to participate in the discussion. Thanks! Regards, Accurizer 21:09, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Those donkeys

I think you are right. They are inserting unsourced cruft. But please remain calm and do not rise to the bait. Just zis Guy you know? 21:15, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Stop blanking Cleveland steamer

Please stop removing content from Misplaced Pages; it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. backburner001 02:15, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I didn't blank it. I edited it. Brian G. Crawford 02:17, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Removing all but one sentence of an article that is currently going through the AfD process is not editing. It's blanking. I'd suggest you take a look at the first entry in this section before making any furhter edits on the Cleveland steamer article. -- backburner001 05:29, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Cleveland steamer, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. -- backburner001 20:57, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

My reply to your last comment is on my talk page. -- backburner001 21:08, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Ditto my above message, see my talk. -- backburner001 21:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
And again, I reply. -- backburner001 21:33, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Ditto the ditto. -- backburner001 00:22, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
