Sig.
[edit]How do you include the links to your "talk" and "contrib" pages in your signature? I'm assuming you don't add them manually each time :), but if there's a facility in Wikipedia to automate that, I can't find it. --Jay (Histrion) 17:00, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- You can alter it in your preferences (ticking the "raw signatures" option and then filling in whatever you want your signature to be in raw wikicode in the "Nickname" field ). For example, mine is [[User:Khaosworks|khaosworks]] ([[User talk:Khaosworks|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Khaosworks|contribs]]) Hope this helps. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:20, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- It does, very much! As always, thank you very much! --Jay (Histrion) (talk • contribs) 22:56, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Bounty Board
[edit]Greetings. You've recently been involved with working on get articles up to featured status, so I wanted to let you know about a new page, Wikipedia:Bounty board. People have put up monetary bounties for certain articles reaching featured status - if the article makes it, the bounty lister donates the stated amount of money to the Wikimedia Foundation. So you can work on making articles featured, and donate other people's money at the same time. If this sounds interesting, I hope you stop by. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 22:20, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Serenity reverter is back
[edit]Hey, Terence.
Our friend at Serenity (film) is back to his old ways. He's not actually reverting as much as persistently adding the same (POV) content over and over again. He hasn't actually violated WP:3RR again (actually, I may be closer to that myself), but he's certainly contravening the spirit of his earlier bans (that is, he's still not using edit comments or talk pages to explain his actions at all).
Should I back off of handling him? I don't want to feed a troll, but at the same time I don't want him to get away with his POV-pushing. —Josiah Rowe 06:07, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, I didn't see this until now. He seems to have stopped for the moment, though. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 13:42, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
- That's OK. He's stopped because ChrisO blocked him, for 48 hours this time. We'll see if he gets the hint. (And we'll see if I can stop letting him increase my wikistress!) —Josiah Rowe 16:49, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Reversions
[edit]OK, now I pose a formal question to you: do you think one opinion is a balanced argument?--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 08:29, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
No you misunderstood me. I mean that since there was only one reply to the RfC, would you call that one opinion consensus? Bear in mind that I have one opinion, too.--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 08:35, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Your reply on the above topic, please. Also, what does the Whospy week 9 have to do with Cassandra and her "death"?--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 08:44, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

CiN mini-episode
[edit]Now, I admit that it may be less than half an hour long, because of the girl group from Wrexham, but it is at least 15 minutes, or else it wouldn't share its listing w/ something else. Also, you failed to put an edit summary on your reversion of my edit to List of Doctor Who serials, also marking it as minor. ?--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 07:36, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- I think it's wrong - read the Radio Times.--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 16:30, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
You're better at this sort of thing than I am, what do you think?
[edit]Over at Andrew Marshall (writer), an anonymous editor has in the last couple of months added a couple of times the claim that Marshall's 2003 telefantasy series Strange on BBC One "unfortunately lost out to the flashier commission of Russell T Davies' new series of Doctor Who". Now, aside from the POV-ness of this, I've never seen any evidence presented anywhere for this claim. I edited it out once last month, and the editor put it back in a few weeks later. Last week I took it out again, stating in the edit history that I'd never seen any evidence for this anywhere, and did the editor have any sources for it? He's now put it back in again, with the comment "I was at the meeting- what are you- Russell T Davis's Mother??" in the edit history. I can see this turning into a nasty little edit war if I'm not careful, and I wondered what your advice on how to handle the situation would be? Angmering 14:17, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks — I've now had a go at cleaning up the article (we edited across each other there, actually), and also a compromise on the Strange issue, stating some of the verifiable reasons why it didn't come back, i.e. the timeslot changes, long gap between pilot and series, etc. So we'll see what happens with the anon editor, although he does seem quite determined that it was Doctor Who that killed it. Angmering 14:43, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Requests for talkpages
[edit][1] What are talkpages for, then? When you [on principle] delete what I've voluntarily spent part of my life writing, I want to know a detailed reason, not just source is speculative, not canon. I'm getting fed up with you. You can't say that the Tyler's phone number is speculative: it says it in the book. Finally, you don't have to take up my requests to use talkpages, but for the following two reasons you should: one, it's just nice, and two, I think WP:CIV or other policy may require you to, anyway. If you're getting tired of my requests, tough. I've a right to make them, if you're fed up, leave WP.--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 07:14, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks for adding the DWM bit about Geocomtex. I've only seen it on OG. You wouldn't be able to transcribe that part of the article here or on my talkpage, would you? That's the sort of thing that interests me.--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 07:43, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks.--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 11:53, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
DW statistics
[edit]Who is the character to appear in the most DW episodes (other than the Doctor of course). K9 would count, but I do mean individual characters as opposed to something like "the Daleks". Thanks,--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 10:08, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

A married Doctor?
[edit]In the NDA Only Human, the Doctor is asked by Rose how he'd know that "marrying for love's overrated". He replies "Who says I don't? You ask the Lady Mary Wortely Montagu". I can't find a place to post this on WP. Please tell me where to, or do it yourself and tell me where it is. Thanks,--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 17:57, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
Any clue on copyrights?
[edit]Hi Terrance. Image:Wills1.jpg recently came to my attention, as it has no source or copyright info. Now, because you're a lawyer, I'll ask if you any clue where it came from. It won't be the end of the world if the pic is deleted, but It'd be nice to, at the very least, apply a tag. Any idea?--Sean|Black 20:18, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Rose Tyler revert war
[edit]Just FYI I've left a warning on TheDoctor10's talk page that he has violated the 3RR with his fourth revert within 24 hours of the phone number thing. By rights I could have blocked him for 24 hours but I chose not too since I'm involved in the argument. 23skidoo 21:29, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
Edit wars suck
[edit]Gah! I wish we could do something productive instead of this petty squabbling. Now that he's calling my initial removals of the phone number stuff "vandalism" it's really gone too far. Can you think if any way to handle this? It's realy starting to annoy me.--Sean|Black 22:12, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
- And the guy has referred to me as a "raving lunatic". Can I block him? Pretty please? 15:10, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- I just checked my messages after being off-Wiki for most of the day. Good grief! The guy has absolutely no concept of how Wikipedia works, does he? What's weird is he seems to be offering half-decent edits (at least as far as I can tell) on other Who-related articles yet for some reason this one has made him go OTT. Thanks for blocking him. I don't know if it'll do any good. Let me know if he does make a complaint. I'd like to see how TPTB react to him trying to say the Three Revert Rule is against his moral right. Or whatever. Yours, the Raving Lunatic. :-) 23skidoo 04:04, 24 November 2005 (UTC) PS. I don't know if you noticed this, but he was also blocked a couple weeks ago for a 3RR violation involving gaming.
Hi again. I agree with RFC - let me know if you need any supporting statements or anything. And don't forget to mention his threat to sockpuppet which I believe is grounds for a permaban. 23skidoo 04:50, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, I didn't threat to sockpuppet. I said that I may sockpuppet, as any individual on this planet may. As in, it's physically possible for me to. There's no ground for a "permaban", and my first block was not for anything to do with gaming, it was for [quote]gaming[/quote] the 3RR. What RfC is this, anyway?--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 19:05, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
TARDIS travel
[edit]In The Empty Child, the TARDIS didn't simply "disappear there, reappear here": it was shown travelling through space rather than the vortex. Same in TPOTW, when the missile was fired at it. Should this be added to the article?--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 18:59, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, yeah! See my comments in the above thread and here. Alert Sean Black, Josiah Rowe and so on to them, too please. No thanks,--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 19:15, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
TheDoctor10
[edit]I am preparing an RFC against User:TheDoctor10 for speculation, revert warring and personal attacks. Would you please review the draft User:TimPope/Requests for Comment/TheDoctor10 and leave any comments on my talk page if you would be prepared to endorse if I should list it formally at WP:RFC. I would also be grateful for any additional examples of any attempts you have made to resolve the dispute.
Thanks! --TimPope 10:33, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- I'm unblocked, thankyou very much. Also, if I am in a position to do so, may I point out that my "addition of speculation" is not a ground for RfC, as I definitely didn't do that to disrupt. I respect that "edit warring" and breach of 3RR is (though I didn't), but I don't add speculation to annoy you.
- On a nicer note, where would one obtain DWM in the UK? Would WHSmiths sell it? They have a pretty extensive range.--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 16:34, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
The re-adding of what you call speculation is a matter on which we disagree. I see how it can disrupt, but I am not doing it for the purpose of disruption. However, the first addition of speculation is simply my definiton differing from that of the Khao-club highly intellectual group of Doctor Who article editors. I wouldn't have been put on RfC solely for spec, so it shouldn't be in the actual thing. Also, the link to my recent edits to Father's Day should be removed. Thanks,--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 16:52, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- It's all related though, the speculation you edit war to retain, and the personal attacks you make on people who remove the speculation. --TimPope 17:26, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
The RFC is now listed at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/TheDoctor10 --TimPope 17:35, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- I see only the Minor Villians 3RR is listed as evidence. Should the 3RR violation on Rose Tyler be added too, or is one example considered enough? 23skidoo 23:56, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[[Incidental music in Doctor Who]]
[edit]From the new series alone, my friends and I have categorised, named and obtained [illegal] sound clips of many pieces of incidental music. These are (in no order):
- The Activation Music: when the London Eye starts to transmit in ep1
- The Auton Music: when the Doc and Rose run away from the Autons at the start of ep1
- The Bad Wolf Music: what others now call the Flavia's Theme, the ooh-ohohoh one
- The Cardiff Music
- Cardiff Music1: at the very beginning of ep11, ending when Mickey knocks on the door of the TARDIS
- Cardiff Music2: as Jack wires up the extrapolator, as Rose and Mickey find a restaraunt, as the Doctor and Margaret find a restaraunt. A long one from ep11
- The Chaos Music: after the Autons stop attacking in ep1
- The Chula Music: at the very beginning of ep9, as the Chula ship is chased through space
- The Dalek Music: played throughout ep13, as Daleks move around
- The Dramatic Music: played as the Daleks leave their ship and move through space independantly in ep13
- The Entreaty Music: played as the Doctor tries to persuade Strood and Lynda to accompany him out of Big Brother ep12
...and many others that I can't be bothered to list. Should there be an article on things like this?--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 18:00, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Hope you don't mind...
[edit]...me "tooting my own horn", but after months of work, I have just added the Douglas Adams article to the Featured Article Candidates list: Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Douglas_Adams. I'd love to see what you have to say about the efforts that have gone into that page (and not just by me, of course!). I thought about saying something on one of the Dr. Who project pages, since Adams was a script editor, but wondered if that'd be too much self-promotion ;) But I would love to get multiple opinions on this, especially from the crowd that knows more about Dr Who and less about Hitchhikers.... --JohnDBuell 00:11, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Doctor Who Writers/Novelists
[edit]Agree with you on distinguishing between writers and novelists - am more than happy to the suggestion that book writers only are classified as novelists.
Some monthsb ago the DW writers section just seemed to be those behind television scripts but now has expanded in all sorts of ways. Similarly, the DW story editors category now is much broader than TV. How can we get order here - a DW television writers subcat to the writers cat etc to follow the pattern of sub-categorising those who only did TV scripts? It's all getting a bit complex (and that's without any sort of canonicity arguments!)

Cast lists
[edit]Hi. Fair enough on the Inferno rv. I notice that the new series pages have cast lists on them but the "classic" series entries link to the Beeb site. Would it be a long term aim to have cast lists included in all entries, or is this a deliberate, permanent difference in the way articles for the old and new series are written? Obviously with the cast lists for the old series external they aren't wikified and you can't link to individual guest actors. Whouk (talk) 14:08, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
- Cheers for the reply. I've raised this on the project talk page. Whouk (talk) 16:09, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit](The Price Anderson joke) I wanted to thank you earlier but it was to much fun watching people react. I was really just trying to illustrate the effect of Price on a real incident.

Need a source for Sealofrassilon.jpg
[edit]I went and tidied up Image:Sealofrassilon.jpg a bit and reuploaded it as a PNG at Image:Sealofrassilon.png (since diagrammatic images like this are better with a lossless compression algorithm), but while copying over templates and attributions I realized that for something like this we simply must have a source. Could you provide one? I was going to delete Sealofrassilon.jpg and move everything over to using the png instead but will hold off for now pending this. Bryan 08:48, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
TXI dating
[edit]I think that TXI is set at Xmas 2007. My reasoning is:
- AoL and WW3 are set at the end of June 2006
- Boom Town is set 6 months later (ie end of December 2006)
- This is after Xmas.
Should this be added to the article?--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 17:52, 12 December 2005 (UTC) (PS - nice trailer on the BBC website, innit!)
- I don't wish to be rude but you could have replied.--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 14:03, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- In the absense of a reply, could I suggest that at the very least we should wait to see what information is in the broadcast episode? Then we can see what's speculation and what's on screen.--Whouk (talk) 14:10, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Italics
[edit]I've been meaning to ask you this for a while... what's behind the use of italics on Doctor Who story titles? My understanding is that works that are part of a larger work, like short stories, newspaper articles, or tv show episodes, should have their titles in quotation marks. Is there a different Wikipedia standard, or is the standard different in the UK than in the US? --Jay (Histrion) (talk • contribs) 22:09, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
In fact, that seems to be Wikipedia's style standard, too: see the MOS. Of course, if this is something that's already been discussed, then I haven't found the discussion, but please point me to it. Or if this is something we just don't want to change, but would rather follow the existing pattern instead for consistency's sake, that's cool too -- I see no reason to fight the tide. :) But if we do want to change it, then after January 1st (I'm getting married in a few days, ya know ;) ), I can work on it with you. --Jay (Histrion) (talk • contribs) 22:14, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Filming without permission in the UK
[edit]You're a lawyer...any advice?
I know someone who attends dance classes at their UK school, and the teacher was going to film them. They said no, it's illegal to film us without our permission, and the teacher said OK. A few days later, they were in trouble because, apparently, it was not in fact illegal. Who's right? Note that it wasn't a public place, it was a private dance studio.--84.51.149.80 16:57, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks very much ... I wasn't planning to sue, I was just interested. I did some Google searches and came up with the Copyrights Designs and Patents Act 1988 section 182...does that change anything?--84.51.149.80 17:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Yes, there is it's here.--84.51.149.80 17:06, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm still learning Wiki policy, but I thought it was OK to remove comments that were designed to be temporary. The discussion on Talk:Reese Witherspoon was about whether to include nude photos in her article -- the sort of thing that has an obvious answer because of Wiki policy, and that's over quickly. Sorry for not explaining that in the comments section, but I didn't want to draw attention to the fact that the photo is still accessible through the archived versions of the page. If I'm still out of line, please let me know. Thanks, --Mareino 14:31, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

The plot summary can be detailed - the synopsis doesn't need to be. Why do you keep reinserting it without explanation? --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 12:32, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm not upset; I was just puzzled as to why you kept reinserting the longer synopsis without explanation, especially since I explained why I was cutting it back down. I think the synopsis is fine as it is: having it too detailed duplicates the information in the longer plot summary. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 12:40, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

wow! i didn's know you were such a big deal! sorry i didn't take your advises more seriously in the past. i read them again, just 5 minutes ago.1. so you really have to quotate especifically almost every single sentence you write? 2. mine are normally from oficial sourses but don't mind quoting most of times, should i change this? 3. how much?? 4. also what to do when i'm talking directly about what the characters said or when it can only be proved by watching specific episodes?? w5. hat if the sourse is a screen shot i'd have to make?
also, 6. how big can an article be? from what i understood, the problem with lenght is when it makes the article boring with prose.
i have specific doubts regarding the superman page:7. are all those sub-articles really necesary or could we put all of them back in the main article? also, 8.when i do the sub-article thing, i like to leave the fist paragraphs or the introduction of the sub-article in the main article. like like newspappers do, is that ok?
thanks,.--T for Trouble-maker 10:53, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
are you the dude from your main page, i know it is dumb, but some time ago, when i fist saw your main page i thought you put the bio of a big deal politician of your country hahahaha, i just read it, very impresive. with your skills and interes you should consider writing sci-fi for real. also, long hair rocks hahaha. i'd also have it long if i had that much ahahaha--T for Trouble-maker 11:00, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Barnstar
[edit]I want to give you a Barnstar in apreciation of your diligence in making my somewhat sloppy Doctor Who contributions more encyclopedic, but I can't decide if the Working Man's Barnstar or the Barnstar of Diligence would be more appropriate. What do you think? (And I promise I'll try harder in future!) —Daibhid C 18:30, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Here it is:
believe it or not
[edit]tha't kinda what i wanted, because i know i need a new strategy. i started a new one a couple of days ago, but i supose i need to built credibility. the only issue you didn't address was the fact that, if you se what he has been up to he is messing wiht ALL my edits everywhere, he emptied a page for no reason and insults me every time he edits in the summary. which is far beyond being a dick, but that, of course is just my point of view. also you have to realize he is kinda becoming scary. how would you feel if an editor, talk to every one you talk, erases everithing you do, call you names and stuff. you have to remember, i one wen't against you and ende up losing and better, learnig from you, im also capable of good stuff. i also believe he stopped being rational on what he changes a while ago. please help me, i'm asking you. i need your help.--T for Trouble-maker 20:51, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
ok
[edit]so to THAT, you finally answer...nice--T for Trouble-maker 23:38, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
you don't even care he is doing stuf to every page i edit and that he is stalking me. when where you when he vandalized my page. i proved he vandalized the bat-embargo page. are you taking sides??--T for Trouble-maker 23:40, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- Alright... I apologize for the user page prank... a moment of weakness. I am NOT stalking him, just monitoring his efforts on Superman and Batman related pages. he doesn't get that his changes are without consensus, and are NOT improvements. I am more lenient on the subartisles, but the main ones have to maintain a certain quality. I will keep reverting his blanket changes, but will work with him on any reasonable efforts to improve. Dyslexic agnostic 00:36, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Yeah but he is following me everywhere, (he admits is pranking... i'm not, sarcastic maybe but i never did pranks)what have you done so far? That was my main concern and you don’t even care.
You seem to think it is all about the article. I’ve been trying with middle points various times an every single time he edits he just undoes stuff and calls it vandalism. (which kinda becomes a vandalism like thing altogether)
By the way, calling him an asshole, given the circumstances is not vandalism. And you know it wikipedia:vandalism#what vandalism is not. And you called me a dick, so I thought it was ok.
I think, it be worst since other administrator would have to get familiarized with the case and read histories and is a waste of time, but if you can’t be partial… But I leave up to you. I’d also be grateful if you address the specific I care the most: Him following me.
I’ve also been up to good stuff in the past. Although I also hat a rough start there, he List of Villains is now a functional page that doesn’t get nominated to deletion on a regular basis… He is also messing with that. Still, please focus on my main concern first I’m starting to get real paranoid here.--T for Trouble-maker 01:04, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- See? I'm willing to try, he is not. Dyslexic agnostic 00:48, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
see? he now knows everybody i know! pops up wherever i pop up? he is my personal stalker!! i don't know what he wants from me! he is my own personal Cape Fear he also put idiotic info in the enemies of batman page (bane & harley being from 80) which is vandalim acording to wikipdia:vandalism#types of vandalimarticle that i showed him before, he was warned, and he commited 3 more acts of vandalim since. you have to do something. I'm an idiot bot he is worst.
think about it, nobody could be that ignorant. bane, harley 80's??? barely the ventriloquist, who is from 88. dyslexic is a dick. if he is an ignorant, the same vandalism rule aplies, since he has been doing all those changes without knowing about any of the topics. thinking about it... i have not ever seen him contribute with a single fact in all those pages. All he does is say the article is big. and i don't think he even knows the meaning of that, since he is always talking in terms of size and not long plain prose as the wikipedia help says.--T for Trouble-maker 05:39, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- Please. His edits are bad. If I don't follow him who will? I'm not going to go from Canada to Mexico to stalk him. Man!!! Dyslexic agnostic 05:08, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
I rest my case--T for Trouble-maker 05:39, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
profanity by T-man
[edit]by the way i'm loosing control i told him fuck you... but you haven't been any help at all and i'm loosing it--T for Trouble-maker 05:44, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Yes, he did, right here and here... I don't need or want this profanity from this moron. Please do something about it. Dyslexic agnostic 06:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Ok, please leave my case, i find you help useless, partial, unfoucussed, and you don't address the issues neither by calming me down, or doing something. You neither answear my questions nor poject authority, and i told you how important your opinion was to me. Dyslexic commit actual vandalism 3 times with warnings and insulted me way before i did. And you don't care. I'm taking my case with a more effective administrator--T for Trouble-maker 08:20, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Even in the end never addressed the issues!!! how can anything can be worse than sombody undoing everything thing you do and following you everywhere!!! and you are encouraging him by not telling him anything!!!!!! --T for Trouble-maker 08:31, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
he even insulted me on the history sumaries!!! way before i did, did you even bother to check what was the last thing he did right before i told him "fuck you". That profanity don't even ofend him directly to his person. f you means screx you, and i means he must have done something to deserve it!!--T for Trouble-maker 08:38, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Date formats
[edit]Yes, I am aware that date preferences can be chosen! I'm just a huge pedant. I even tried turning on the automatic date conversion earlier on, but in the end I couldn't rest easy knowing that I might be missing out on policy violations... I'm hopeless... --Kwekubo 23:05, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Because I'm pedantic...
[edit]I thought I'd let you know that this edit was almost certainly based on the fact that it was 75 minutes in Canada because of the commercials. FYI.--Sean|Black 08:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi, khaos! How is it gong?
[edit]Hi there, I noticed your nice comments on your edits, how good you realized i put some crap there. What could I ever do without your help? And, as always it was so pleasant to read your ever so civil words!....Psych!!! as if!! There are other ways to be rude besides actual insults to be rude, you know? (i recognize the irony of having to tell you this myself) A simple "hi there", "it might (...)", "im not sure" would be nice once and then. You are too authoritarian. "Since this (...) this doesn’t work". You might as well tell me "don't put your stupid sht in here, you worthless illiterate". "hahahah, I'm lord khaos all mighty and I always now better, your point is so useless, vandal. I now more, you ignorant hahaha" From here, it seems like correcting and taking out whatever I write makes you feel so superior. Does it feel good? You are always like: "Insults are rude, people like me, who don't use insults, are not rude, we are so civil. I always make people feel good". Yaah’, right! ... You are right you're "soooo superior". And you are right, nobody likes dicks, you are always right. I hope it feels great. You have been so useful and the way you always addressed me has always made me feel so good...NOT!! Thanks for nothing. You self absorbed egomaniac. I hope you have a happy life petting cats, Grinch.
Sincerely
--T for Trouble-maker 05:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
P.s.: I don't know if you realized it, but your edit summary offended me. And by the way, you missed the whole point of what you bind reverted, wise guy. Also I borrowed this from your friend above (talk to him he seems wise) you should reed it carefuly:
uh, and FYI, roxy rocket was created in 1993 and animated in 1997 3 years diference. And we are barely talking 2 here, you are mr. objetive, all about the info and not the person, aren't yah?--T for Trouble-maker 07:17, 30 December 2005 (UTC) Don't worry, I won't address you any more, since I'd look like harassment. And tha's the last thing I want to be acused of, after all I've been there and I don't wish it even on you. Since we have similar interests I suggesnt we avoid talking on the same page and correct each other. But I know that won't happen from your part, but I promess I'll keep mine even if you don't because I hate to deal with you.
- Well, wasn't that nice. Dyslexic agnostic 06:20, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
