Dfrg.msc, please be careful not to use fair-use images in userspace. I've again removed a screenshot you've taken from your talkpage and everywhere else it appears in userspace. Also, I'd still appreciate it if you put more effort into serious contributions and less or none into pranks and jokes. Productive contribution shouldn't be an afterthought on the project. --[[User:Improv|Improv]] 15:22, 23 July 2006 (UTC) |

Work in Progress
These pictures are being worked on and stored here for later and immediate use. Also, to tidy up this hole.
Insult me!
Hey everyone. Im staring an insults competion on this page. Be original, cretive and try to keep the swearing to a minimum. I will rate all entrants out of ten. The winner will recive a signed, dated and original drawing of a turnip, by me. So, go for it. I'll get you started.
- You facesious Cad!
It's easy!
- i mock you and your value system! F 22 12:31, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Not bad F 22. lacks originality. I award yee 7 seahorses.
- I was just going to complement your addition to taunt, but this contest is too good to ignore. You are a pathetic excuse for a human. Seriously, up your nose with a rubber hose. You are a walking satire of yourself. Your own mother denys any knowledge of your existence, and to tell the truth, I don't blame him. Zing! So, anyway, good job on Taunt. ReverendG 18:10, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Ouch! Nice one ReverendG, I award yee 4 porposes, 3 lobsters and a mermaid. Exellent work.
Trigger Happy
Dear Administrator:
I, like you, am an editor; I create articles and make edits. But, many, I am sure many other people out there, are tired, frustrated and angry with the behavior of many Administrators. I am certain that it is appallingly easy to revert and article, that someone has undoubtedly spent allot of time and effort writing. I have, in the past spent hours, researching, planning, writing, checking and revising an addition to an article only to have the whole lot deleted forever three minutes afterwards.
I know that deletion of material is essential in a free-to-edit encyclopedia, but if you see an article that someone has anonymously devoted their time to writing, why could you not revise it, change it or give a reason for you action? They deserve one.
I know all Administrators are not all Drunk-With- Power-Trigger-Happy-Nazis, many of you do an excellent job and you know who you are.
In closing: Create, don’t Destroy. Make a distinction between “what is right, and what is easy”. Be enriched and enrich others with the knowledge of other people.
And keep that finger off the trigger.
Dfrg.msc 01:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I also agree with dfrg.msc. I propose that we create a gang of people that are against administrators that are deleting pieces of work that have had someones heart poured into them. and we shall call exactly that. and we shall also abbrevaite it to GOPTAAATADPOWTHHSHPIT. all who wish to join leave your user name on my usertalk page:Mark606800 Talk Page
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/M1A1_Carabine.jpg/220px-M1A1_Carabine.jpg)
Regarding your valuable input to my talk page, do you have any particular page in mind or is it just general thoughts? abakharev 09:10, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- I have noticed that you posted an identical message to the talk pages of many people. Please avoid this as it may be considered spam. Instead in future please post your valuable observations to WP:VPP or WP:AN or similar page. abakharev 09:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with the above comments. If you have an issue with any action I have taken as an administrator, feel free to raise it with me. Otherwise, though, spam is not appreciated. Best,--Alabamaboy 13:15, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'd presume that your comments are based on your experiences editing the Tomorrow series. Although it's clear why you're frustrated, please understand that the administrators involved do not mean to be rude in any way. Feel free to ask them to explain to you why they made the edits they did: compromise and discussion is at the heart of creating quality, NPOV Wikipedia articles. In the meantime, in case you haven't already read it, check out Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, which might give you a better idea of why the dispute arose on the Tomorrow series. In the meantime, happy editing, and enjoy Wikipedia! --Alex S 18:36, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia talk:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spider-Man#How did this Start?
Sockpuppet tag
Regarding your desire to give the benefit of the doubt, I'm removing the sockpuppet tag from your user page for the time being. Two things to consider, though:
- I assume that you and User:Carbine are friends. He's well on his way to a permanent ban from Wikipedia, as he has shown little desire to make useful contributions to this project and has created a number of sockpuppets. As you've noted, you've been labeled as another potential sock due to your common interests. I'm glad to hear that you don't intend to go down the same path, but until Carbine is either permanently blocked or changed his ways, you may run into problems of association again in the future. You may want to file a checkuser request at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets if this becomes a problem.
- I'd strongly suggest going over the introductory guidelines at Wikipedia:Introduction, even though you've been here a while. It's a huge help when you're still learning the ropes.
Drop me a line if you need anything. Tijuana BrassE@ 14:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
User: Dfrg.msc 01:27, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Mass Exodus
Mass Exodus has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this is more a dictionary definition than an encyclopedia article. Please review Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary for the relevant policy. If you can expand the article to address these concerns, please do so, or explain your plans on the talk page.
If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.

Reichstag climbing
So far, so good...but where is the proof that this is YOU who climbs it?
And I intend to block you for the bad merging job....:)) Lectonar 08:47, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Bollocked
You have been bollocked from editing for violating Wikipedia policy against climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman. To contest this block, please reply here on your talk page by adding the text {{unblock}} along with the reason you believe the block is unjustified, or email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list.
Note to sysops: Unblocking yourself should almost never be done. If you disagree with the block, contact another administrator..

What wikipedia is not
Hi, please review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a free host, blog, webspace provider or social networking site - I am not sure that you are usefully contributing - are you quite sure you want to be here and not elsewhere?--A Y Arktos\talk 08:56, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Uh, the link is broken. Im not sure what to do.
Dfrg.msc 08:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Spelt out specially for you:
Wikipedia is not a free host, blog, webspace provider or social networking site
You may not host your own website, blog, or wiki at Wikipedia. Wikipedia pages are not:
- User pages. Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they may be used only to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet. The focus of user pages should not be social networking, but rather providing a foundation for effective collaboration.
--A Y Arktos\talk 09:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Righty O. I'll stop then.
Thanks, Dfrg.msc 09:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Warning
Just zis Guy you know? 15:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Hey man, I did it origianly - before the policy was set. It was because of me that this thing is popping and hopping. I am the first perpitrator! Sorry!
Dfrg.msc 23:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Enthusiasm
Dfrg.msc, your enthusiasm is greatly appreciated about WP:NCTRDAS but please no more spamming (WP:SPAM) about it. The "policy" you inspired is very funny! Thanks!! Netscott 08:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- Awwwww! I was having fun! Gah. Ah well.
Dfrg.msc 08:56, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, but playtime is over. Find some articles to edit, yes? Just zis Guy you know? 09:01, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

How did this Start?
How did this meme start? Was there any particular reason the Reichstag and Spider-Man were chosen? Is this page in blatant violation of WP:BEANS? Andjam 03:04, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I've been in this from the very start so.. This be the Legend:
Ok, so, one sunny day long, long ago (11:43, 26 June 2006), I posted the article Trigger Happy (Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive47#Trigger Happy ) on the WP:VPP page and also on the Administrators' noticeboard. Little did I know the response that I would get. At the end of my article I wrote: If I don't cop flack for this one, I will climb the Reichtag Bulding in a Spiderman outfit. This was the response:
- When will you be climbing the Reichstag? I'll try to be around.(and could provide the photo then) Lectonar
- We are the rouge admin cabal and will block you indefinitely for violating the Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman. Also, we will extend this block to everybody you have ever met because you violated Wikipedia:Don't post incidents without giving people the faintest clue what the f**k you're on about, which is definitely policy. Just zis Guy you know? 12:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
At this stage Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman was just a link to the Hoax page. I decided then to indulge User:Proto and actualy digitaly edited a photo of myself climbing the Reichtag Bulding in a Spiderman outfit. I then posted this on the same page with the remark "Ok, but you forced me into this. Scaling a major landmark is harder than it looks". The original image has since been deleted as it violates copyright.
It was at this stage that Just zis Guy you know? took it to a new level. Gone was the re-direct and those considering climbing the Reichstag in a Spiderman outfit could only tremble in fear in the shadow of the New Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman page. People started going there, mainly out of curiosity, and we soon realized that we had created a monster.
I was then indefinitely bollocked for violating policy (Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman). Just zis Guy you know? 10:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
A long battle ensued as to wheter we should keep the page on this fine website. With the help of countless people and of course the Rouge Admin and their mighty Cabal we won and here it is. The offical score was 13 points and a log to 27 points a brused backside and 3 ripped dresses.
And that, my children is how a rag-tag group of Wikipedeians got together and formed the Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman page. There has been countless contributors and the battle still rages on many fronts but in the end, I think it is worth it to keep the Reichstag Spider-man free.
Dfrg.msc 09:33, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
"Free" to use images
Hello Dfrg.msc, if you're looking for images of the Reichstag that you can use to make another image try the Wikimedia Commons. Here's a direct link. Try to utlize images that are marked as Public Domain. Not sure where you'll be able to get an image of Spider-Man that you can use... but if you can try to find one that has a Public Domain license. On another note, I've seen where you've used Wikipedia as a private messaging board to chit-chat. The talk areas of Wikipedia are not meant for such usage but are primarily used for talk related to the Wikipedia project so I would council you to refrain from talk that isn't project related. Try as much as you can to generally contribute to the project by improving articles/adding encyclopedic images/working on Wikipedia infrastructure/etc. Thanks. Netscott 10:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
From Commons: your very own GFDL image at Image:Spiderman in San Francisco.jpg. Please study the licensing system at GNU Free Documentation License to attribute it properly - not hard at all, just acknowledge your sources and also licence it as GFDL. I don't think climbing down a building is any safer than climbing up.--A Y Arktos\talk 10:56, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks mate, I can use these.
Dfrg.msc 11:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- A fellow user had mistakenly reverted out your question on Talk:Spider-Man but I restored it. I noticed however that you added the possible copyvio image to your original message. Please don't post the image for display (links are fine) further on Wikipedia until it's copyright status is verified as doing this is counter to policy. Ok, here's to hoping that you can come up with another image in the meantime. :-) Netscott 14:33, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Time to stop now.
Wikipedia is not a playground, your nonsensical edits to article space should now stop. Just zis Guy you know? 14:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Your edit to Taunt
Your recent edit to Taunt (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // Tawkerbot4 07:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- S' Ok, I accedentaly deleted some things, thanks for your help. Dfrg.msc 07:56, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! I'll have to start a Spider-Man/public buildings mailing list...
By the way, about the brilliant picture: If its copyright status is a problem, you may be able to recreate the image using similar pictures from the Commons. Hope that helps! Snoutwood (talk) 20:14, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Image upload issues
Your upload of the Jeff MacNelly image was done under false pretenses -- the Pig of War is *not* public domain, and uploading it as such places the project in legal danger. Please stop uploading images using incorrect licenses or you will be blocked indefinitely. --Improv 06:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Ye olde Badd Giokes and Other Deleetid Nonsense#Mass Exodus
I tried to view your image addition to Albert Einstein but I just got a nasty message saying unsourced material will be shortly deleted. Thought you ought to know. --Michael C. Price talk 09:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Right, thats it.
Dear Sir/Madam, Firstly, I find your using of "Kids" to be derogitory and offencive. By Your using of the phrase "These Two" it seems you have again branded F 22 and me together. And again I must stress to you that we are not the same. "User:Dfrg.msc is a self-admitted friend of Carbine's (Which is true but Carbine is long gone now), and has often been precariously close to an indef block himself (When? If I have ever been cautioned or close to an idefinate block; why then was I never told?), engaging in similar behavior." This "similar behaviour" reference I find offencive and un-true, I belive this "behavior" relates to vandalism and I assure you that I have never engaged in any of that. I am realtivly new, and because of this I have made mistakes. Were you new once?
And let me tell you something: NO ONE always contributes usefully, not even you two. Sea of garbage? Sea of garbage! That's low. Calling anothers contributions a sea of garbage can only be thought of as a blatant personal attack - something us Wikipedians don't take lightly Brassy. Have you looked at my contributions? I mean, really looked at them? I do bloody contribute and when I'm not I have to fight so hard to keep those conributions on it defeats the whole purpose! I contribute at the blistering internet speed of 24.5/kbps, so what would take you a second, takes me half the day!
I have only ever been Bollocked for First breaching Wikipedia: No climbing the Riechstag dressed as Spider-man which I am responsible for and is now Supreme Cabal policy.
Dfrg.msc 10:23, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
PS: How can you status be Fish?
- Also I consider it rich that you acuse me of being a vandal, While publicly dislaying that "You Heart Vandals" Does that mean you love Smugface? The answer: Irravoccably, Yes. Also on your page you openly invite me to vandalize it - provoking an attack that you and your Cronies would un-doubtedly block me for. You shoud be blocked for inciting vandalism!
Dfrg.msc 10:33, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Dfrg.msc 01:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Please don't use fair-use images in userspace
Fair use images are not permitted in userspace, and place the project in legal risk. I have taken the liberty of removing all those I could spot from your userpage. Please do the same for your talk page and avoid their use in the future in userspace. --Improv 20:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- The best way to find out is to visit the page for the image in question and see what license it provides. Note that sometimes this is wrong, and if it is found to be wrong, generally the image should be deleted. Be very careful when uploading new images that you provide information as to the source of the image and any relevant license issues accurately. It is a major problem for the project when people do not do this, because it puts the project at legal risk. I am admittedly worried about you as a user because of your tendency to spend a lot more time on pranks and showing off than contributing, so I'm keeping an eye on what you're doing. If you could change your focus towards improving the projects rather than making people laugh or being weird, that'd be great. --Improv 14:34, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Dfrg.msc 01:25, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Talk pages
Generally, when someone rolls back what you've added to their talk page, it's implied that they're not interested in having you replace it. So let me eliminate any confusion: no more editing my talk page. I'll consider it vandalism next time. Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 21:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Dfrg.msc 01:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
F-22 raptor vandalism
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Do not touch the f-22 page or further action will be taken! M1 abrams 12:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Jeez, I only changed F-22 Raptor to F-22 Craptor and it was reverted 7 seconds later. Stop wasting your time. Dfrg.msc 01:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Stop wasting your time in the first place, and it wouldn't be a problem with anyone else. --Scottie theNerd 03:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Get out of my house Scottie. Dfrg.msc 22:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case
![]() |
You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Dfrg.msc for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familliar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 01:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Great.
Warning
With your continued vandalism (pranks or no) and problematic contribution to Wikipedia, you're coming close to exhausting community patience. Please remember that this is a project to make an encyclopedia, and if you insist on using it as a place for random garbage and comedy, you will be blocked. I believe you have the potential to being a productive and nondisruptive editor, please do so. It would be a wonderful show of good faith to clean all the crap off of your userpage/talkpage, appropriate license or no (e.g. the FIS, Loah loah, and so on) --Improv 14:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Seconded. More than enough already. Just zis Guy you know?
- Fine, but Im keeping the boxes. Dfrg.msc 23:24, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Things look better! I hope this is the start of productive harmony. To answer your question, "Free Use" is not something that's ever appropriate on userpages. If you want to use an image on your userpage, either find it already present here, and check the claimed license, create it yourself (ensuring there no license issues), or edit it from licenses that permit such editing. As a rule of thumb, random images you find on the web are not ok to upload to Wikipedia. I advise you to use images sparingly on your userpage, and generally focus on improving articles. --Improv 00:02, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- Improv, your advise is sound, reasonable and helpful to me. I thankyou, and my page does look better. You actions here are a reflection on this fine website and you are to be congradulated.
Thanks, Dfrg.msc 00:07, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

"History" of WP:SPIDER
Hello Dfrg.msc, I've noticed your efforts to include a history of the decree on it's talk page. What I would suggest you do is copy that history over to a user page of your own, say like User_talk:Dfrg.msc/WP-SPIDER history and then just make a small link from the talk page to your user page. I suspect other editors won't mind if you do that and will leave your link. Hope that helps. Cheers. (→Netscott) 16:53, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Nonsense edits
Hello Dfrg.msc. Please do not post nonsense to user or article talk pages. Article talk pages, in particular, are meant for collaboration towards the improvement of the article. Posting random anagrams of "Jimbo Wales" does not accomplish this. // [admin] Pathoschild (talk/map) 06:11, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

This was deleted without warning as it's the third time you've uploaded it without proper license... something you've been advised of many times already. Taking an image and running it through Photoshop does not make it yours. Continuing to upload such images is also against policy; next time it may lead to a block, as you've had plenty of warnings by now. Tijuana Brass|¡Épa!]] 19:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
dam third world! pathetic NASA and their 1950s trash. I think its sad to think that we have not been to the moon in over 40 years!. We could easly go back. Or we could even go to mars. But nobody wants to or cares. Instead they give billions of dollers to the pathetic third world!. Think of what we could do if our space programs were funded.
their are many proposed ways to revelutionise space traval like nuclear powered rockets but nobody listens!

Fair use in userspace again
Dfrg.msc, please be careful not to use fair-use images in userspace. I've again removed a screenshot you've taken from your talkpage and everywhere else it appears in userspace.
