WAFE

Someone has to alert User:Dreamguy to THIS development. User:Beckjord is forming a organization of Wikipedians of some sort. WAFE is this: Wikipedians After Fair Editing. Consider this my first commitment to work with User:Dreamguy. Also have him to remove this section on his talk page: Re.: Martial Law. IF User:Beckjord sees this, a ally of his sees this, it could be used to further his cause. I may be a mess on Wikipedia, but I do NOT want to see a civil war taking place on this fine site. I do not know how many has joined this organization. It could be none, it could be nearly all of the Wikipedians. I have reminded him about this sort of thing, such as the Edit Wars many times. User:Dreamguy, now more than ever, I really do need your assisstance. Martial Law 08:57, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What am I supposed to if User:Beckjord approaches me to join him in this "WAFE" ? Martial Law 09:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dreamguy, lets settle our disputes, so that the two of us can prevent a war, if we can. Martial Law 09:30, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is it OK to contact you ? Martial Law 09:31, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Am investigating the matter. Got a E-mail from him on WAFE, going for website info. Will let you know. Have someone relay your reply, or Beckjord will know we're on to him. Using skills picked up in upbringing. Even if Beckjord is tossed, his WAFE people will be around to give this encyclopedia problems for years to come. Have your runner say that "Bunchofgrapes wants to see you." on my talk page. Martial Law 11:27, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I really do apologise if I had caused any inconviences. Can User DreamGuy show me where exactly in WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:V where I am in error, so that any errors can be corrected ? I'm no idiot or anything of that sort, just hate wading through a lot of unnessessary jargon. Been here 3 months myself, thus I may still be a "newbie". Can you suggest a reference, so that I can read it anytime, so as to not inconvience anyone with a lot of questions(Been told that there is no such thing as to many questions by another user.) about some of the jargon used here ? Martial Law 05:04, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Total nonsense

Martial Law gets easily upset.

WAFE encourages proper editing.

Grapes - please ceasing editing a page where you know nothing about the topic.

Apologize accepted

No problem, Bunchofgrapes, we all make mistakes. Actually, I learned many things from the Kumanovo dispute and I’m trying not to repeat some mistakes I made handling that issue. Happy New Year, see you next year:)--Bitola 16:26, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re: New York Transit Museum

I prolly went overboard when I said "official". I just wanted to put City in order to point out that it refers to the one downtown and not the one in Grand Central. -- Eddie 17:58, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Eddie you can't just change the name on a whim. The official name of the museum is New York Transit Museum. Someone is going to have to change this back. Eddie please do research before making such large changes. You may well know of the museum as NYC transit museum but it is NOT the official name. I do agree, however that the transport system in NYC is offically called New York City Transit but that is a different entity. David D. (Talk) 18:05, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not too thrilled about hearing "very bad" on My talk page. I do apologize but I didn't have bad intentions when I did it. -- Eddie 18:07, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Buy the way, the New York Transit Museum in grand central station is an annex of the downtown New York Transit Museum. They are the same entity. David D. (Talk) 18:09, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a disambiguation page is in order, one for the Museum in Grand Central and one for the Court Street Museum? -- Eddie 18:14, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

One page is fine for disussing both, unless it gets too large, I think. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 18:17, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My inclination would be to have them on the same page too. The Grand central station musesum is run by the same organisation so the merge makes a lot more sense. David D. (Talk) 18:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, let's see if a GC page exists. If it does I'll move it. If it gets reverted again all bets are off. -- Eddie 19:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is that you, Eddie? Move what? —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:40, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Someone please tell wikipedia to alert Me when I get logged off. Also alert anonymous IP users to sign on/create account after cliking "Save" before edit gets saved. My battery is low, talk to You later. -- Eddie 19:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just leave the New York Transit Museum where it is, and discuss both the main museum and the Grand Central annex in the article. No moving. No merging. No slicing, no dicing. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:44, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Then I won't be the one to do it. I might consider a request. If you disagree, then I will have nothing to do with it. -- Eddie 20:07, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating pages for delete

I see You have a habit for putting those AfD tags on pages. I was wonder if You ever notify the page's creator or if their was a Request for Verification process? -- Eddie 21:33, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I usually don't notify the pages creator: I figure that if they care, they have the page on their watchlist. The AfD process is a verification process; that's why we admins don't just delete pages we don't like immediately. Instead, the community discusses it for a while. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 21:39, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thanks for your congratulations. It's also good to be reminded at times that people are very seriously looking over my contributions. You don't want to get too sloppy around here! -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:52, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hollow Wilerding's RfA

My RfA failed. I wasn't expecting to achieve sysop status anyhow, considering I was too pushy during the Hollaback Girl FACs. Any particular reason as to not voting though? —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 17:01, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You would have voted object because everyone else voted object? :/ —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 18:52, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

So you don't believe I would make a good admin? Just be honest. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 18:58, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't. Not only was your FAC behaviour outrageous, but I continue to believe something very funny is going on between you, Winnermario, and DrippingInk. This business about Winnermario giving you her IM account, which she originally got from her brother strains all credulity. The business about DrippingInk nominating you by "surprise" and you filling out the nomination questions in seven minutes flat either strains credulity or indicates that you didn't answer the questions very thoughtfully. And the weird, content-free complimentary exchanges both you and DrippingInk and you and Winnermario have exchanged on your talk page give me a very bad feeling.

None of which make you a bad editor. Sockpuppetry or not, whatever's going on, for the most part you do a good job. But I do not feel like I could trust you — there's some web of weirdness about you — and that's my most important criterion for adminship. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:11, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments are insulting. User:Winnermario has logged on ONCE since she announced her departure from Wikipedia, and I only know her from another website. User:DrippingInk and I are merely neighbours. You may believe whatever you want in regard to the three of us, that being we're all sockpuppets of each other or whatever. The truth is, you will never really know, and only we will. We're three very different users who have similar but not identical interests. Anyway, your last message truly upset me, so I hereby declare my retirement from coversing with you. Please do not bother contacting my talk page from this comment forward. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 19:17, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

...And there's what happens when people absolutely insist you be honest. Sigh. Double-sigh. Sorry you felt insulted. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You can be honest — but not cross the line. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 19:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to butt in but this recent exchange makes me think that object was the correct vote. David D. (Talk) 19:46, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

At least I'm not the only one to fail on the first try. -- Eddie 04:16, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year

I hope I have a better time on Wikipedia in 2006. Don't give up on My dreams yet. -- Eddie 05:00, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gee Eddie, thanks for making me your first edit of the New Year. Of course, I still have three more hours to go, here. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 05:02, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have one more hour to go. Happy new year to you both and lets hope the trolls get stuck under their bridge. Cheers David D. (Talk) 05:04, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Votestacking on FAC: Hollow Wilerding

This will probably interest you. Kind of a depressing way to start the new year, I know. :-( Bishonen | talk 11:27, 1 January 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Que?

Sorry, there is something very wierd here, why does your page keep appearing when I want's Bishonen's - have I had too much chianti? Giano | talk 12:59, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea; that's really weird. If I've got to be confused with someone, though, that's a fine choice. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 17:42, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The server here causes all sorts of strange things to happen, probably the Zibibbo, don't worry about it! Giano | talk 20:58, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bunchofgrapes, this is MY page! Get your butt out of here! Bishonen | talk 21:08, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How upsetting. Has there been some kind of Putsch? I shall pack up my consonants and vowels and leave quietly; perhaps I can take take exile in some more tropical, less fractious wiki... —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 21:12, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do apologise for my "friends" language she can't help it she's foreign, but I am a teaching her de English but it slow work. Now get back to copyediting my beautiful love story Bishonen, or you won't have beautiful dreams tonight Giano | talk 21:19, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Virtual band PR

This article is now up for its third peer review. Please feel free to make their contributions. --JB Adder | Talk 21:08, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not block me

Please do not block my account again. Since you blocked my first account (Cruz AFade), and accused it of being a sock puppet of Hollow Wilerding, I had to create the reincarnation, Cruz Along. I was merely attempting to explain how I am not in any way related to Hollow Wilerding's sock puppetry and the fact that I now own her computer had better not place me in jeporady. I fully understand the constitution of Wikipedia and the policy no legal threats, but due to the fact that I uploaded an image of myself on the other account enforces me to take legal action. If I am not allowed to have an account on Wikipedia, then there is no reason to let my picture sit there. Simply removing it will not do you any good; as I am not a sock puppet of Hollow Wilerding, a female, I have the rights to edit the articles I choose to, even if it means that we have a few similar interests. (Did Hollow Wilerding ever edit The Island?) I plan to edit on Wikipedia to have myself satisfied, and if you do not wish me to, you're going to have to ignore me rather than simply labelling me as a sock puppet of the teacher I once had at my school every single time. I would like to move my belongings from the first account including my picture over to this one. Cruz Along 18:09, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a sock puppet! I am a neighbour of hers and wish to work on some articles. Please let me be and if you do, you'll realize that I'm not a sock puppet. I do have an interest in Gwen Stefani, but I will stray from those articles for a long period of time just to prove to you that I am not what you are assuming and accusing me of. –Cruz Along ^{(Speak about it | How many?)} 18:29, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you for your support of my RfA, and for your generous comments. I appreciate your confidence. Best wishes for a happy new year, Tom Harrison ^Talk 13:27, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the heads up,

Get the Picture

I uploaded a logo for the game show. The logo image was created using a screen capture from the DVD playing program. I was wondering it that's okay with You. -- Eddie 11:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can use that screenshot as a fair-use image in the Get the Picture article, and only in that article. I changed the image license to the fair-use {{tv-screenshot}}. You should be very careful to never release images as GFDL if you didn't create them. Thanks for checking. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 15:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have other game show screenshots and I'll put that license tag on future screenshots when I upload them. -- Eddie 03:31, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cubeb

Hi Bunch, when you are in the mood for a little distraction, you might want to have a look at Cubeb, one of the articles I am currently working on. --BorgQueen 21:26, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looking nice! I like the cigarette ad. Hopefully I'll give it a closer look soon. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 22:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Japan vandalism

Hey, there's some vandalism of Japan going on. The page has already been protected, but can you do something about the IP? Thanks. the iBook of the Revolution 07:37, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably just you

You could well be right, but what I wonder is why do men as ugly as them get the women, while those of us with rather better looks...........Giano | talk 08:06, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
