Weaksauce argument

I am once again embroiled in a pointless WP:LAME but without the edit war and stalled at the D in BRD. It's semantic split time and our contestants today are "animated cartoon" versus the long standing rival who currently redirects to him, "animated series"! The issue here involves one man who across several articles changed some terms relating to animation to cartoon animation specifically on... yeah, animated series. Anyway, rolled the edits back, brought him up on it and decided to discuss at Talk:Animated cartoon which is ruled over by the self-annoited smartfuck User:Janke who seems to own the article (WP:OWN own) and somehow the definition using the wooden ruler of "it's the right term, dumbass" even if to me it does sound really stupid to say animated animation. The article has had issues regarding this technically correct but woefully flawed term before but this time it's different as it affects several thousands of articles all of which deal with animation as the subject matter but not the one they mean. Basically it's gotten stupid because each side is entrenched in their meanings even though they both mean the same and neither will give up the bone. It's probably going to go off to RfC which'll be the second time this article has had one but I need some outside input on which term is the betterer to use before it gets carted off to RfC to be ignored for a month. treelo _radda 11:19, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Video remix

It looks like you've been undergoing a pretty huge edit war with another user on the article Video remix. If you read WP:EW, there is a process that you should go through rather than continuously reverting each other's edits. I would suggest placing your argument against the youtubepoop 'idea' on the article's talk page and ask an administrator to give a third-party opinion on the matter. I figured I'd mention this to you because simply reverting each other's edits over and over isn't getting either of you anywhere! Good luck. DreamHaze (talk) 22:10, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Consensus has been developed. YouTubePoop material is considered vandalism. While I may one of the few who "patrol" the article you mentioned above, you are free to examine the history of YouTube Poop, and the other alternate spellings and/or capitalization. Another target of this vandalism is Colgate (toothpaste). I am not the only one to consider this, as a recent ping to the talk page appears to agree with this. And yes, this is vandalism. There have been multiple attempts at discussion to establish notability, yet the only arguement to prevail is "YTP gets a million hits per second!" or other such utter nonsense. Yngvarr (t) (c) 22:18, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you! But the user didn't get any vandalism warnings on his/her talk page, and after that many bouts of persistent vandalism I still think that simply reverting over and over again wasn't getting anyone anywhere. Explaining reasoning and explaining that if the action it would result in banishment might have helped. I hadn't heard of YouTubePoop, however, so I wasn't sure if it actually constituted vandalism, which is why I didn't really give an opinion on it. It did strike me as less-than-good quality of a resource for Wikipedia, but I really wasn't sure. DreamHaze (talk) 22:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the short and terse answer. YTP has a long and disruptive history here on wikipedia, and it sometimes get wearisome when the poopers decide "it IS notable because I SAID it is!". Yngvarr (t) (c) 22:32, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

No worries! I spend most of my time reverting vandalism and "jokes" that people find funny--I definitely know how frustrating it can be, particularly the persistent ones. Good luck fighting the YTP battle! DreamHaze (talk) 22:39, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

It's all Moleman, isn't it? Every IP address who had been reverted along with our most recent friend all seem to link to Moleman's admitted secondary access point through his grandmother's. I see an opening for an SPI with CU to see if we can get these addresses and accounts blocked and throw in a little clearing out a sockdrawer for good measure. treelo _radda 01:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

March is actually "national noodle month" here in the US. Anyways, I'm betting it is Moleman, and for me, the kicker was his statement "you don't need sources as long as its true", (in)famous words by MM. Right now, since I'm about to retire for the evening, I'm going to let the ANI stew; if nothing by tomorrow, I'll probably go to CU. They revamped that whole process, too. Yngvarr (t) (c) 02:04, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello! McFly! I'm aware of the refangling and how sockpuppetry cases and checkusers can be done at the same time now, don't need sources if it's true... common truths maybe yknow. treelo _radda 11:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Hm, tell me about it and one thing, earmarks? Hallmarks might work better, he's not a book. treelo _radda 23:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Alright, that went down well except that one of the IP addresses is still unblocked and the other has a holdover from a three month block issued in December. Might want to ask User:PeterSymonds about a block being issued for the IP address which has none and an extension for the other. treelo _radda 12:40, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

(merp)Oh, are you still keeping an eye on User:Tigerbreath13? Still hawking YTP by categorising the subject matters of their clips as internet memes, keep a watch. treelo _radda 00:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

When I said keep an eye on this memetard, I did mean to do so. Might want to also have a quick cleanup for articles he's hit where there might be mention of it being used as an internet meme but as we know, is not a notable meme if it's a YTP one. treelo _radda 04:10, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

The ongoing saga of Lamborghini man (or is it??)

So, Lambo Boy has come back to start crapping on about how the templates still don't fit his vision of them. Given a little peeking at his contribs I do reckon now we do have a multiple user account on our hands and as we know, it's a no-no and a blockable offense. So, we have one person with an interest in public transportation systems in and around Washington, one with an interest in cartoons. Both use the account and there's usually a few days lull inbetween the uses switching. Except for a few irregularities where the switch happens within hours and on occasions minutes its usually a case of buses, buses, buses, lull then TV, TV, TV, lull and the circle of life is complete. The fact one knows how to sign whereas the other patently doesn't know or doesn't want to sign is sending off five alarm warnings for me, it's either two people or a split personality case. Any idea what to do? It's almost as if whatever we've told him he's ignored and is proceeding as if he is still right in a sorta truthiness way. I'm not going to respond to his "idea" over at WT:TOON, it isn't worth my effort doing so because I really dislike repeating myself but it's possible this one has forgotten. treelo _radda 04:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, maybe I can throw him a carrot or something. The templates issues are a dead issue, and we won't go there anymore. Hopefully. As for his Sybil phenomena, it'll be a tough nut trying to dig up some sort of concise report to ANI about the no-sharing thing. As my experience shows, you can either be verbose and be ignored; or be concise and be ignored. It's just a matter of what phase the moon is in at that point. I will see how to work it out. Yngvarr (t) (c) 15:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking more along the lines of contacting a friendly neighborhood admin instead of ANI, we all know that's got you nowhere since you first did it although it has worked for me the two times I've used ANI. I think getting him off this template fixation would be good although I do reckon we're being read as he's started signing again just after I mentioned it so something is up. My evidence is vastly circumstantial but I think I have a case. treelo _radda 16:31, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Protoshield2.jpg

It's been tagerooed now but the issue stands with just what sort of free they mean. The article the image comes from says all content is copyleft so I'm left to guess at if that means a public domain release or GFDL. I'm going to say GFDL but for certain it is free. treelo _radda 22:07, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Much appreciated! Yngvarr (t) (c) 19:48, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I was surprised but happy to see that image on the Arduino page. I took it way back for Tony at NKC electronics- I designed that shield for him. Anyway, I have released the image into the Public domain, so no worries on copyight. Vancircuit (talk) 15:37, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Image attribution is always a pain (IMO), so I hope this wasn't burdensome on you. Yngvarr (t) (c) 21:34, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Come on...

Me and Otter Boy are having some stupid 4/1 fun and need you to make more obscure references and memes. We've already participated in the yearly fake AfD (I have already =!voted under your moniker) and need you over at his talkpage as part of an ongoing stupidfest. treelo _{squeedly spooch} 18:08, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

• What, I'm not Chowder anymore? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 18:15, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, you still are, just a good month or so hiatus of any new Chowder (not you) can do that to you... but you're also Otter Boy so it's not like I'm wrong. treelo _{squeedly spooch} 18:25, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm suspicious of this Invader Mik (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) character, so far it's just been trolling the Chowder article talkpages but not doing anything. In some ways that is good because the crap that kid would add... ahem, like I say it is good but I feel a certain touch of familiarity about him. treelo _radda 23:38, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

well, they're semi-prot, so he can't edit them until he has 10 edits, or something like that, so if I were suspicious, I'd say he's racking up minor edits in the interim. Yngvarr (t) (c) 09:44, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Huh.

Do you deal with Ben 10? I don't as you know, action series seem to attract bigger lunkheads than EEnE do and just dealing with the Transformers: Animated char list split annoyed the crap out of me. From what I see there's nobody who knows the difference between cruft and content to an acute enough degree to be able to tell the rest to stop adding the shit in, only the hardcore douches like yourself give a fuck. So, because of this I'd like to turn your attention to convincing the circlejerkers there to split the godawful rat king we call List of characters in Ben 10 (or rather List of Ben 10 characters because some fuck moved it against our own MOS) into more manageable chunks. I know, wrong venue but I figure here is good enough as most conversation will occur on the talkpage so no point drifting it out to WT:TOON. It's the single biggest issue for the Ben 10 archipelago as it requires some clipping and a spinout because of the length at a fairly hefty... wait... 114 kilobytes. That is more than both Ben 10 and Ben 10: Alien Force put together.

Problem is simple, a huge article with too much dross and that which is worth a damn needs splitting off so one list doesn't have to cover the whole Ben 10 Mythos. I'd suggest because of the way the series go to split out core characters to their own articles should content be found (sourcing is much heavier a demand on standalone articles so extra legwork will be needed, episodic references aren't any good) and split the rest down to heroes and villains or by series should enough content remain. Above all, make sure the title convention is adhered to and none of this List of Ben 10 villains or Ben Tennyson (Ben 10) bullcrap. treelo _radda 01:57, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, I have those on my watchlist, but mainly for blatant vandalism. I don't watch the show, so I can't really comment on content, but it should be kinda easy to spot the drivel from the rest. And while we're on the topic of "keeping an eye", I am about to step out for a bit, so if you have a chance, keep an eye on DVDfan12, he did not learn from his block, and now he's adding "Portugal air dates" to the episodes. After yesterday, I'm not of the mind to have a pleasant discussion with him on these things. Yngvarr (t) (c) 19:57, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

So you're leaving it to me to split the list up? It's a simple thing, just split it yourself and let them figure it out. I'd like to but I'm highly intolerant and will assume bad faith right away. I'll keep an eye on our over-enthusiastic kid editor here, I'm starting to doubt it being someone we know but is still far from being a good editor, young Mormon editors always seem very bull-headed and ignorant to a point to others. treelo _radda 20:58, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

No, that wasn't what I said. I meant to say "Ok, let me look at the talk page and see what's up". Yngvarr (t) (c) 21:25, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Damn your lack of clarity, damn it to hell. You're not Chowder, you don't get to make little sense in passing like he does. Don't bother looking at the talkpage, you get one passing IP suggesting a split but also wanting additional cruft so it's as if this is the Ben 10 Wikia but actually popular. treelo _radda 22:29, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I've not forgotten about this. I'm getting a headache looking at it, tho. It seems like Ben and the rest of major characters should be on their own article. I'm just pondering the rest, things like List of enemies in Ben 10, and so on. It's just so dreadful. Yngvarr (t) (c) 14:16, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to my world, Chuckles. Let's face it, series like these will inevitably demand a presence here as rich as the universe it creates (see List of allies and other characters in Codename: Kids Next Door) but as we both know that's stupid fanboi crap. If the split as far as you see it seems like an issue then I'd say to tighten the threshold for inclusion or just use WP:TOONMOS as you could most likely get it below 50Kb that way and then consider what to do about a split but all I know is that one will be required even though if we were gonna be strict we could lower it down to one solo list of non-major primaries with a limit on how much goes in. I can see the headache, where do you split, how do you split, where should certain chararcters go, should certain characters even gain inclusion? Like I say, use the guideline the MOS establishes and try and work out just what sort of list setup would work, just don't let it get fragmented to the level of List of enemies and past allies in Ben 10: Alien Force (season 2). treelo _radda 14:40, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Temporary injunction and your use of my monobook script

Hi,

I am pleased to see that you have used my monobook script to remove the autoformatting or linking of dates or other functions; I hope you have found it useful.

This is to let you know that ArbCom has announced a temporary injunction against the "mass delinking of dates". You can still delink dates on an occasional basis; however, you may wish to be cautious and use the script only for its non-date functions until the issue is resolved by an RFC poll. You may wish to express your view on autoformatting and date linking in the RFC at: Wikipedia:Date_formatting_and_linking_poll.
