Talk:Yeti/Archive 1

Image

LizardKing - Instead of trying to out do yourself by making more fake pictures of Yeti, etc., why not do the real work of perusing the existing research of Yetis and finding an image that is both:

representative of what a Yeti supposedly looks like
free from copyright or whose copyright holder permits the image being used on Wikipedia.

None of the images you've used so far meet these criteria, particularly the first one. Until then, plese do not keep adding poor images to this article. - UtherSRG 01:38, 17 Jan 2004 (UTC)

The image is an accurate representation of a Yeti. It is free of copyright complications. Your innaproriate insult to my artwork has been noted. --Lizard_King

OK, I'm tired of seeing this entry yo-yo around all over the place. Let's settle the matter, and settle it here in talk, not via a mindless edit war. Tannin 02:57, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

The options seem to be:

1: This image, or a variant of it, is best.

File:Yeti5.jpg

2: This image, or a variant of it is best.

File:Newbug.jpg

3: This image from various websites.

File:Yeti.jpg

4: No image so far put forward is suitable. Until further notice, this page is better without any images.

Vote here:

1: Yeti5 image

Lizard_King
ScifiterX
The_Agent (and no I am not a sock puppet)
Popcorncafe

2: Newbug image

3: Yeti image

4: No image

I have some doubts as to the credibility of ScifiterX's independance: ScifiterX's Contributions - UtherSRG 20:30, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

If you want proof I am who I say I am, I present my IP address: 69.22.99.232. It's an earthlink account. 9:16 PM 1/19/2004 You can even visit my website. The link is on my user page. 9:24 1/19/2004 *ScifiterX

Would you quit slinging mud! First off, ScifiterX contributed anonymously before he joined. Could you please ask him for his IP address before you start making these unsubstantiated and unfair accusations! As Uther already saw fit to show everyone my IP address it should be fairly easy for ScifiterX to prove he is a different person.

I agree that all evidence indicates that ScifiterX is a lizardking sockpuppet. Are there any rules against voting twice in the same poll? --snoyes 20:50, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

You mean form multiple accounts? It would certainly be dishonest. But to vote for more than one option, that's fair. - UtherSRG 21:04, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Yes, the former is what I meant. --snoyes 21:44, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Right. I wouldn't go 100% so far as to say sockpuppet (although I do think the developers should investigate for such). They may simply be one of Lizard King's high school buddies that he has bullied into working for him. -

UtherSRG 22:20, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Right. That's it. I went to a high school and forced a student to log onto the internet to vote. You caught me read handed, Columbo.--LK 10pm 1-19-04

I find it highly improbable that The_Agent, ScifiterX, and Popcorncafe - the sum total of their edit being very small and the pages editted being only those you have editted and only those you have had edit conflicts on and only made edits in a direction in your favor in an edit war - are anyone either than yourself or your close friends with you over their shoulder or on the phone with them, or some other such arrangement. - UtherSRG 02:48, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)

So now you are saying that people who are my friends cannot vote? So who exactly is allowed to vote for me? Please tell everyone who's vote counts and who's does not. We are not as informed as you, obviously.--LK (10:30pm 1-19-04)

Yes please get the developers too investigate! That is what I have been asking for all along!--LK

Despite their protestations, I have some doubts as to the credibility of The_Agent's independance as well: The_Agent's Contributions - UtherSRG 21:04, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Yet another individual with some lack of credible independance from Lizard King weighs in: Popcorncafe's Contributions - UtherSRG 02:44, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)

There is a rule that says that user has to have contributed to vote? Are you sure?--LK 10pm 1-19-04

Which one was originally on the page, or are all three Lizard King's? (I'm not going to vote until I know) PMC 01:32, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Actually, everyone on here is actually me pretending to be other users including yourself, PMC. I have multiple personality disorder. You are simply another repressed aspect of my psyche that has fragmented from my core intelligence, and "believes" itself to be independent (I joke).--LK 10pm 1-19-04

I vote no image. The best is to use no image at all. Optim 01:38, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I would vote for the third, if copyright wasn't an issue. Does anybody know where it comes from? Tuf-Kat 01:46, Jan 20, 2004 (UTC)
