[edit] Doomtree

Yeah, I don't really think that other band is even notable enough.

PS, you catchin the P.O.S. show at the Guthrie? that should be.. interesting. Ziggur 16:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I think the Guthrie itself starts selling tickets today. I just called them up though and they're not double billing it with Heiruspecs, separate $10 tickets for both. Decisions... Ziggur 17:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

What's up ReverendG. I just noticed that you're intro Taoism, Thelema and Rap Music. You're the only other person besides myself I've come across who's interested in all three of those things.

[edit] Concerns regarding pages I've created

[edit] Warning regarding your edit to 69.68.254.75

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to User:69.68.254.75. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Next time please take the appropriate action againt vandalism according to WP:VAND. This is not what Wikipedia wants to look like to new users. Andeh 14:47, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

You also personally attacked the anon editor on their user talk page, do not bite newbies!--Andeh 14:49, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
I've removed a few more of your edits, I suggest you read Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy.--Andeh 14:58, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
There is still no reason to not follow wikipedia policies. If you have a problem with any parts of a policy please discuss it on the talk page of them. Thanks.--Andeh 05:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] list of cannabis-related musicians

I'm letting you know that I tagged your new list for proposed deletion. I am quite certain that there is a 0% chance that this can be made into compliance with WP:NPOV or WP:V. Pascal.Tesson 04:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you have moved this into a warnings section. It's not meant as a warning of any kind. It's just standard practice to courteously let the creator know when you put up a prod tag. I certainly am not saying that your article was created in bad faith or that it was a premeditated violation of policy. Pascal.Tesson 04:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm not monitoring your talk page but I have every page I edit added to my watchlist and using popups I just saw the diff. As I said this is not a warning and moving it is in fact an unfair way to twist what I am saying. I am moving that section back to its original location. Pascal.Tesson 05:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Please don't do that again.
What's with the threats? Come on man... All I am saying is that I did not write it as a warning so I feel it's unfair of you to present it as such. Why is it so wrong of me to ask that you respect that? I feel that this is equivalent to you editing my comment. Pascal.Tesson 05:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice one Mate!

Nice one Mate!

Hey, thanks for putting Albert on the taunts page! That image is very dear to me, as I uploaded it, and you found a perfect use. Thanks, Dfrg.msc 08:15, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

No trouble, it seemed to fit. Too bad it seems to be gone now.

[edit] David and the Phoenix

Nice little article - I have taken the liberty of adding an infobox, using more standard headings established by WP:NOVELS and adding release details. Also corrected the spelling of Phoenix which is a common problem, if truth be known, one I often make as well. Anyhow thanks for the article. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dinkytown

I am taking photo requests, if you know Dinkytown well enough to suggest a shot let me know and I'll run down and take it. When I was there this spring I took a few but nothing really stood out so I put the Varsity in. I should warn you though that I'm in the middle of a long support tour right now and don't make it home much. I should be free end of July and will have more time then....Rx StrangeLove 05:35, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leprechaun

Hey man, I've reverted your edits on Leprechaun as they didn't seem to be an improvement. You substituted "genuinely" with "generaly" (sic) and made some rather odd formatting choices. If you think that I was wrong in reverting, we should discuss it on the talk page. - FrancisTyers · 23:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I think you're right about "generally", I changed it. - FrancisTyers · 15:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! :) That kind of comment makes dealing with some of the less polite elements worth while. Much appreciated :) (you've made my day). - FrancisTyers · 00:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 420 slang

Hey ReverendG, I removed the slang terms because there were no sources for any of them. In order to be included in the encyclopedia, content needs to be verifiable and have citations; the slang terms had neither. In fact, the section didn't even attempt to explain who had used the "slang terms", and when! Even with sources, of course, not every mention of references to 420 should necessarily make it into the article. Obviously the use of "420" in marijuana culture is more than widespread enough to warrant its own article (and having been to the campus of San Rafael High School, makes me chuckle every time I read it). But I think listing "IV:XX", for instance, with no explanation as to when it was ever used or by whom or why it's notable, isn't significant enough to be in the article. JDoorjam Talk 17:39, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ok ok

hey man, feel free to delete this comment once you've read it. All I am saying is that I did not warn you of anything and I felt like moving my comment was like editing what I wrote by putting a WARNING in front of it and misrepresenting what I wrote. I assure you there's absolutely nothing personnal about it but on principle I think you should leave your talk page alone unless it is vandalized. Pascal.Tesson 05:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

(I apologized to this guy, for exact wording check out his talk page. I really didn't have anything against him, we had a difference of opinion typical of the eternal deletionism v. inclusionism debate. (To clarify: that was at first (I was wrong), then came the talk page troubles.) We all want this project to work, that's the important thing. ReverendG 05:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC))

[edit] hey

I am by FAR not a new user to Wikipedia and have been editing the ULC page for a long time...

No worries. a bulk of the content of the article is from me from my various IP addy's. If you are smart, you might figure out who i am :-)

[edit] Moving articles

Hi. I noticed you've moved the article Alice B. Toklas brownie to Cannabis brownies. However, it looks like you did it by copying and pasting the article text (a "manual move"). This is not the best way to do a page move because it destroys the edit history and doesn't move the associated talk page along with it. Please see WP:MOVE for the proper move procedure. If you need some assistance undoing your edits and following the proper move procedure, drop me a note on my talk page and I'll try to help out. Thank you. ~Matticus TC 00:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the notice, I never noticed that 'Move' tab before. ReverendG 01:02, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
No problem. I see you've fixed it up now - good man. ~Matticus TC 01:04, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Rockefellergivesfinger.jpg

You removed the "no source" warning for Image:Rockefellergivesfinger.jpg without providing the source. I believe you have confused source with copyright. Being the work of the US Government and thus in public domain is a copyright, the source would be the URL from where the image was taken. This is needed so it can be verified that the image was the work of the US Goverment and is free use, and not a copyright image (ie- taken by a journalist) that would make the image fair use. Please see the Wikipedia:Image use policy if you have any questions. --TheTruthiness 06:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bongslide picture

Hello. I noticed your picture at the Bong article broke up the numbering of the Description list. The numbered list is important as it annotates the numbers in the diagram opposite. Since I am a newbie, I thought I'd just bring it to your attention, and let you fix it :-) All the best, -GilbertoSilvaFan 14:25, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor edits

Remember to mark your edits as minor when, but only when, they genuinely are (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one, or vice versa, is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb, is that an edit of a page that consists of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Also please ensure you use edit summaries especially when reverting.--Crossmr 18:50, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music

Whats up? Hi, I'm trying to gather some more interest and support for the Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music. Please check out the topics and lets get our WikiProject to function better. Recently, I've taken an interest in the Wikipedia:WikiProject hip hop and I consider that WikiProject to be better developed. I am now writing to usernames on the hiphopWP who might be interested in helping with the punkmusicWP. Hopefully we can all work together to improve articles relating to punk as has been done well with hip hop. Finally, I am trying to gather support and opinions concerning the punk house article and specifically the Theta Beta Potata article which is currently in AfD (x2) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theta Beta Potata (second nomination). Please check it out and voice your opinion. Xsxex 09:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eighth Wonder of the World

Hi -- I noticed you voted to delete Eighth Wonder of the World. I just wanted to let you know that I've gone through the list and rigorously cited as many as the entries as I could and tagged the rest with {{fact}}; I was hoping you could take a look at it and perhaps reconsider your vote, as the changed article drastically changes the conditions under which you voted to delete it.

Here is a quote by you; In the South, big blunts are also known as: Taters, Hog Legs, Fatties, Tutti-Bols, Harry Potters, Fat Choads, Brumbleweeds, Dr. Thunders, Twist-Ups, Dave and Busters, and Extreme, and in Middle Tennessee, Hooters.

I don't smoke pot but I have never heard of these and can't find references to them online. Just an FYI - probably 90%+ of blunt sales are not for these sorts of pot related stuff! Would you mind if I removed those wierd references? --Mrtobacco 14:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] drugs are good?

I see you are pro cannabis. Just curious to know, do you know and agree with the fact that drugs destroy and ruin lives? 'Culverin? Talk 11:22, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Cannabis is nearly harmless when compared to alcohol and tobacco. If they are legal, cannabis should join them. Also, though some drugs (meth, coke, smack, etc.) do ruin lives, cannabis cannot claim sole responsibility for any life ruining. If someone fucked up their life, it's through their own error. Please don't do this again, wikipedia is not a place for debate. ReverendG 14:27, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
You just debated then, Reverend. Still I strongly disagree with your opinion on cannabis. But it is still your opinion. 'Culverin? Talk 06:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Post-dispute dispute

Someone else says: That's interesting, Rev....You do seem to have a habit of giving people the impression that this IS a place for debate. It's not even funny how many people like you I've met. All people like you do is make things harder for people who are smarter than you. Why do people like you exist? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Beaufordjohnson (talkcontribs).

How interesting. Was "someone else" actualy you Rev? This is not the place for debate, but that isn't to say that it does not happen. Just out of curiosity, ReverendG, are you actualy a Reverend? Dfrg.msc 1 . 2 . 3 07:02, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Thankyou Reverend, for your response. Beaufordjohnson, who is this comment directed at? The Rev or Culverin? Could it not be said that debate can in some cases enhance the quality and consisiveness of Wikipedia? Dfrg.msc 1 . 2 . 3 23:09, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, in some cases it can be very helpful, but I feel Culverin's invitation was not one of those cases. ReverendG 04:13, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I agree. See you around, Dfrg.msc 1 . 2 . 3 04:15, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
How? I feel this debate is very valid. Especially when its is so important to society. Culverin? Talk
It's not a debate to improve any aricle or iron out any real dispute. It's a debate for the sake of debate. This is an encyclopedia and I don't wish to get involved in that here. ReverendG 04:33, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
My comment was for the good old Reverend, not Culverin. beaufordjohnson

[edit] Uncivil

I read the articles that you linked to. You said nothing to Scotchguy about his uncivil behavior, which makes me question your objectivity. Plus you're a little late, considering I haven't edited on Wikipedia in a few days now. Wikihow is much more enjoyable, considering that the admins there discourage one or two users dominating a site by reverting useful edits based on POV. It is obvious that the policy of Wikipedia is that one user is allowed to dominate an article. Scotchguy repeatedly removes links to articles that are not written by his online circle of Scotch conoisseurs by calling them "Spam." Because of this, I have decided that Wikipedia is not truly collaborative and I see no point in participating. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Peergynt323 (talkcontribs).

You were removing and adjusting content to make yourself look better. Scotchguy always acted within the rules. Had you not acted the way you did your edits would have been better recieved. ReverendG 03:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I added a relevant site. Scotchguy removed it and called it SPAM (<-uncivil) without a claim, citation, reference to the rules, etc. I presented my case civilly and he did not respond. He simply removed the link again. He then made a completely FALSE claim that I removed something from his talk to make me look worse and subsequently called me an A-hole, imbalanced, etc. (<-uncivil) His history of edits on the article suggest that he vehemently rejects all but a small set of links as SPAM without rationale. He never quotes or links to anything from the rules and he doesn't respond to civil behavior. Every one of his edits contains some sort of insult (<-uncivil). All of his behavior regarding the article is a textbook case of "fundamentalism," which is forbidden in the rules. Besides all of the aforementioned, he came onto my site and left negative comments and went to a wikihow article that I started and deleted more than half of it without any rationale. Unfortunately, he soon found out that WikiHow is better patrolled and does not tolerate his conservative fundamentalist behavior. I admit that I acted out of anger--I edited his talk because he made the false claim that I removed something that he wrote and I wanted to piss him off. After thinking more, I realized that Wikipedia is not a site for collaborative writers. It is a site for small groups of fundamentalists who want to push their own websites (which do collect ad revenue unlike the site that I added) and promote their own agenda. Because of this, as I mentioned before, I choose not to participate in it. Obviously the real admins are so busy with the vandals that they do not have time to deal with fundamentalist self-promoters like Scotchguy. After reviewing www.scotchfun.com, you will see that it is not only "personal" but contains far more opinions on music than it does on Scotch. If you have any respect for the actual rules of wikipedia, you will remove this site as "SPAM" as well.

[edit] Esperanza

Welcome, ReverendG, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact our administrator general Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

[edit] to ReverendG

I've been going back and forth with RevG for a bit tonight. I was shocked to read the article about the Nation of Gods and Earths. Being a white man, I was offended to realize that there is a group of people who beleive that white people are devils and black men are God. After making several immature but very smart ass edits to the article, I finally realized the philosophy behind the Nation of Gods and Earths. I believe the article needs more clarification and explanation of the metaphors for Blackman and White, God and devil. If this is a philosophy and not religion then that needs more specification as well.

I agree with some of the edits ReverendG has made. Others I disagree with. If I had more time then I would continue to critique rogue articles like this that claim to be subjective.

Part of my edits were removed because I didn't use correct research methods (according to RevG) although finding sources and confirmation of my edits would not take too much more effort. However, it is not my edits that need research and proper citation. It is all the references to Blackman, White, non-White, devil, and God that need definition and disambiguation. Much of the information in this article needs more research credit and 1st, 2nd, or 3rd generation source material. Otherwise it comes off as being an anti-white or non-white dominant article that offends countless numbers of people.

There needs to be clarification that this in not a skin color issue.

And to all you people who insult RevG, you are making yourselves sound stupid. Stop the insults and deal with the real issues. RevG is open to edits as he has allowed some very crucial edits by me to stick.

And yes, canabis should be legal or everything that can possibly kill people should be illigal. Go watch Thank You For Smoking (not the best example) and Supersize Me. You would be killed by eating fatty foods much sooner than getting high on smoke from a burning plant.

[edit] Howdy and Thank you

I just wanted to say I appreciate your vigiliant efforts to revert vandalism on the Barack Obama article (the last one was pretty cute - and funny!). After reviewing your user page I have pronounced you cool. I am currently directionless - I've been adopted by a user, but he just pointed me in directions (that I already knew about) and hasn't given me anything to do. He has offered me his support, however, which I appreciate.

The upshot is - would you like any help with anything you're currently working on? I need to do some actual work, but I work better with a little oversight.

From the debate over the deletion of The "Siberian" language Wikipedia

an article about Hamlet, (ru-sib version) includes Zolotaryov's own translation of this great work of world literature. The original line (Marcellus: Peace! break thee off! Look where it comes again!) is translated in this article as "Motherfucker brought his ass here again")

Priceless!

[edit] Howdy, and HELP!

Can you help me with an external link in an infobox for the album Mystic Man? I thought I put it in there correctly (though it's the first one I've done), but it doesn't show up at all. If you go to the edit page you can see it. The category in the infobox says "professional reviews", but it's just not showing up. What did I do wrong? HALP!

On an unrelated note, you might find this article interesting. It's from one of my local weeklies. Don't let the heading fool you! It's actually winds up being a pretty compelling arguement for legalization in the end.

Cheers! NinaEliza 07:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I'm just going to add a "further reviews" section then. I might not get to it for a while, though. It was on my first "Suggestbot" page, and when I couldn't do that, I went on to the first entry on my list - which is Giffnock, Scotland. Since, I approached someone from Project Scotland about that article, I think I should finish that entry now before I do anything else.

[edit] RE Fable 3

"At the start of the game you must dig up some magic flowers at the bottom of an un-used volcano where you dig up a mask..."

Well Hell - I just did that yesterday. Why do I need a video game for THAT?

[edit] Template:Minnesota

Thanks for working on the Minnesota Template. I have a couple of disagreements with what you've done however. 1) In the Regions section you changed Twin Cities Metropolitan Area to Twin Cities. I disagree with this because the region covers 11 counties and dozens of cities - not just Minneapolis and St. Paul. 2) You changed Major Cities and Metropolitan Areas to Major Cities. After some on-line research, here's what I concluded: The St. Cloud Metropolitan Statistical Area has a total population of about 181,000 [2]. The population within the city limits (which includes portions in Sherburne County, Stearns County, and Benton County) is about 64,308 [3] and breaking it down, 6726 in Benton, 6629 in Sherburne, and 50,877 in Stearns = 64,232 [4]. So, I changed the heading from Major Cities to Major Cities and Metropolitan Areas, since St. Cloud has some significance that sets it apart from places like Plymouth (70,455) or Brooklyn Park (71,048). This is not a terribly elegant solution, but I think if the heading stays "major cities" then St. Cloud should be removed. Appraiser 15:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello! , I am faelomx and I have much style. Already in serious, Is not taxobox something sober with that color plain? … Because something does not have life that is “on the life”? … then it can here have a visual improvement and dynamic in taxobox… and… improving what there is it can be taxobox but beautiful of all wikis! :) OK? …. what seems to them? You hope that you like,… will like…

Missed it...NinaEliza 05:26, 23 November 2006 (UTC) But hey! check this out: Upskirt - Read the entire legal part. Don't ask me how I went to it - Long Story. I'm getting one of the old editors on it now. But in the mean time - hilarious!NinaEliza 05:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC) Man - people are getting delete-happy around here.

[edit] New Sig

Hey Rev, I like your new signature, it even has the Esperanza E. Also, although it's way to hot in Australian to have Turkey, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, we do have a lot to be thankful for. Dfrg.msc 1 . 2 . 3 23:22, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New template for your articles

Taken from the Dept. of Fun page, "Sandbox in-sandity":

[[ |center|]]|500px|What?]]
This article needs more Fonzie.

You can help by adding more Fonzie. And while you're at it dont forget to add more Fonzie..

I've been avoiding posting you, because it means I really mean it. I'm leaving Wikipedia, and don't think I'll return (or at least not for a long time). I'm trying not to be a big drama queen about it - and really it's no big deal. I haven't been here that long anyway. I just didn't want you to get bummed or shocked if you went to my talk page.

It's been fun exchanging stuff with you, and I still think you're cool. I'm wrapping up things and saying goodbye to a few of the friendly folks I've become acquainted with. Then I'm out.

In the interest of wrapping things up, I want to make one small request of you. Remember that page I directed you to last time (Upskirt)? Well it turned out that the one editor who was both willing and able to do a rewrite was me. I got about half-way through and had to bed. Would you consider finding someone who could finish it? It's very incomplete right now, but at least it's better than it was.

If anything, it turns out to be the specific topic of a lot of recent privacy legislation. I would also like to see a criticism section from a feminist point of view, but my bias is showing:). I'm pretty sure I added some useful URLs on the talk page. I'll check before I leave and if I didn't, I'll try to get them again and post them there.

Happy editing and keep the faith, NinaEliza 02:27, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Cannabis recipies

Hi, Rev. On or around Oct. 17 you created Category:Cannabis recipies. Perhaps you meant to create Category:Cannabis recipes, but as I understand it, Wikipedia doesn't do recipes (they leave it to a sister project). If you have a name in mind let me know, although I think either "Cannabis foods" or "Cannabis cuisine" might work. If you have the time, you might want to run this by User:Bunchofgrapes, who is an expert on food topics. BCNU. —Viriditas | Talk 10:22, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the award. If you run into any issues with categories in the future, you may want to use WP:CFD. Since you are the original author of both cats, I went ahead and placed a speedy deletion tag on the former. The parent cat still needs to be sorted, so I'm looking forward to working with you in the future. —Viriditas | Talk 00:40, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dang it!

Adopt me! Shit! NinaEliza 05:51, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

But even if I can't, then I think I'll (kindly, because he's been very kind to me) let him go. He's only on Wikipedia every few days. I'm sure he's very knowledgable and couple help me with anything I wanted, you and I are on at almost the same time almost every night.
That means I could go to you for more immediate help for practical things. I'm not saying I expect an immediate response, but I can't wait, like two days - three days for an answer.
I've got things I want to do, like write an article for the parent organization of the non-profit I direct (Compeer International), expand the article on NAMI (which looks like it was written by Ely Lilly), make a taxobox, do the articles in my suggestbot, and the list goes on.
The technical tutorials are all written in Mandarin. I don't need, like, freaky-crazy help - just some really straightfoward questions answered.
Plus, I like the cut of your jib, sailor;). So whatta you say?NinaEliza 06:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I am not really sure

I dunno if you can really have two adoptees so for you can have her i am getting off your adoption thanks for everything--"P-Machine" 06:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Please don't be offended, P. I only asked because I know other editors have taken on two or more adoptees. It's cool. But I didn't want to cause a ruckus - it started out as a joke, but the more I thought about it, the more sense it made. That's all. Are we cool?NinaEliza 07:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

We cool is just i do not want to get this guy in truble (i do not know much) --"P-Machine" 07:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: page blanking

Sorry, I don't know what happened, might be wikipedia that bugged, my browser that bugged, if not, I guess I must have done a mistake somehow. The page blanking was an not an act of vandalism, it was an mistake/accident somewhere. The real intentional edit, is the edit after your revert. -- Frap 23:50, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Rev

I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in a bit. I should have done what I said I was going to do instead of what I did. I royally fucked up on pretty much all fronts. I lost my cool in this thing I've been involved in and the shit is totally going to hit the fan tomorrow (or maybe tonight, I'm going to bed).

I just can't do what I wanted to do with this whole arbitration thing in limbo. All the stuff that's going on in relation to it is simply freaking me out. I know I'm a good writer, I know I can make it here. I've got to back away and get some perspective until this whole thing blows over.

I'm in the process of completely re-organizing my non-profit. You wouldn't believe the stress and the workload (but I love it and it will settle down in a month or two). I actually came to Wikipedia to de-stress. So far, it ain't workin'.

Then today, after a particularly difficult stint at work, I came home to my watchlist and just lost it. I didn't even read half the stuff I was commenting on, I was so freaked out.

I'm not asking for help, or even much of a response, I just needed to get it out. You've pretty much said all you need to say, and I keep my cudgel close. Tomorrow (or two weeks from now), I'll ask you about taxoboxes. NinaEliza 09:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I created my first article!

Hi Rev,

So a lot has happened since I wrote the above, and I see things a lot more clearly. The RFarb is over now, and I'm doing alright on all fronts. I'm not usually like that, I just sorta...whatever.

The article is New York Manumission Society. It's a stubby-stub, but I'm going to keep working on it. It's not that there isn't enough information, it's that there's too much. It's crazy weird that there's no article on this.

I've also done a lot of work on James McCune Smith, but there's a lot more to go there (I'm responsible for all of the red links - shit). Check them out!

NinaEliza 04:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My very own Fisher-Price barnstar!

Thanks! It is both groovy and...another good thing I can't think of right now. So, New York Manumission Society - can you figure out what wrong with the fucking third reference? I hate that third reference right now...NinaEliza 02:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Never mind - I FIX IT BY MYSEWLF!NinaEliza 02:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Master P/Foo12

So Foo and I had a chat last night. Apparently, he then creates a sock called NinaEliza, vandalizes my talk page with it, then gets himself blocked. Here's the really weird thing: He uses the sock (or maybe not, but it's the same ip, so isn't that a sock? to tell me what a fucking bitch I am for talking to Foo. I can't even wrap my brain around it. Is that why you got vandalbot, because of him? I'm getting that, man. It's one thing to be trusting, it's another thing to be a doormat.

All the stuff I'm working on right now is so cool. I'm...happy. TTFNNinaEliza 04:49, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


First of it all the person was the same that vandilized me using the accounts Adopter and some other ones (i cant remember) He has vandilized me even using my own ip address. (by the way this is the second time i got blocked for it) i only vandilized once along time ago check it in my ip address. but if you want to accuse me of sock puppeting thats fine--"P-Machine" 06:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Yep, that's about the size of it. P got blocked by accident. Sorry again, P.NinaEliza 07:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It occurs to me

I haven't given you anything funny in a long time[[5]]. This may mean I suck. This may also mean, however, that I've been a bit busy. Check out New York Manumission Society now.

No, the edits aren't all mine. In fact, I pretty much invited a potential edit war to my summer villa of an article. It's all good though - shitstorm abated, and the article is mostly stable.

By the way - how do you make a taxobox? And is it not said when taxobox plain? NinaEliza (talk contribs count logs email) 13:48, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I was (sorta) joking, but I seriously didn't know the difference between the two. I thought a taxobox was just a box. I don't even know how to make a box. *sigh*.NinaEliza (talk contribs logs) 19:43, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
I try not to descend into what I know is bad grammar, but...THAT. IS. AWESOME. Thank you. NinaEliza (talk contribs logs) 23:33, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blunt and references

Hi, R.G., noticed that the blunt article needs some serious work and I, being a abstemious type person don't know much about the culture... but the article currently lacks references of any kind whatsoever... any idea where to start? V. Joe 06:50, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More blunt & personal knowledge

Like I sort of implied, I have not interest in Cannabis/Marijuana for myself, just not my thing, which means my knowledge is sorta shady. That said, I think the term is not JUST a cannabis/pot/weed, etc, term, but also (used to) refer to an especially cheap and pungent type of cigar, and if you had asked Arthur Conan Doyle and until the early part of the war on drugs (say, about 1950 or so), if you had said "blunt" to someone, they'd have thought "tobacco," although M.J. and indeed, Cocaine, heroin and opium were constantly used and proscribed by doctors, midwives and could be purchased at the drugstore. I have to look this up somewhere, since I am a history type... but lets see what we can find... and YES, High Times is a reputable source! V. Joe 04:55, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
