Ok. Sorry about that. I assumed the film was more directly from the book than it is.

[edit] re Chinook salmon

Thanks, I'll leave it in your capable hands. (I'd never heard of a coho salmon before, so that was my principle reason for the revert!) Waggers (talk) 22:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Your revert looks good to me (thanks!). The guy should've just said something on the talk page. --Bazzargh (talk) 22:52, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cephalectomy

No its not made up. Its a theoretical medical procedure. Whether it has been performed using that name, I don't know. The band annoyingly hogs all of the Google hits, so it is difficult to find references.

If an Appendicectomy had never been performed, it would still be a medical procedure, it would still be removal of the appendix. It is the same thing.

I thought that it would help to expand people's minds by having this interesting word in here. If people disagree, then delete it. Merging it is pointless. Dyinghappy (talk) 21:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

So, are you saying this is theoretical just because it is a grammatic agglutination? Wikipedia doesn't work that way; we'd be flooded with words that might one day be used for something otherwise - see WP:NEO#Reliable sources for neologisms. In terms of reliable resources for a potential medical usage - head transplants are a reality (although not very successful), and Robert J. White didn't use the term. But it sounds like you had no sources other than the band's web page, hence the page isnt verifiable - so I'll change the merge to a proposed delete. It won't disappear for several days, people will have time to object. --Bazzargh (talk) 22:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
I didn't get the term from the band's webpage. I got it from a medical dictionary and terminology explanation. The reason why I thought of it was because I misheard one of my colleagues and thought that they were describing a cephalectomy, so I tried to find out what it meant. It does in fact mean what I said it means, to decapitate. This is proven by looking at the latin words, and looking through medical terminology books, references which I have given. The thing is that you never go in to hospital to have a cephalectomy. What would be the point? Go in with a head, come out without? I thought that it would be interesting for people to learn. If you are going to have such a problem with it, just delete it. I tried to discuss it prior to creating it, to see if it was okay, but got no response. The term has nothing to do with the band. Sadly, hits for the band make up all of Google's search terms, making it impossible (or at least extraordinarily difficult) to provide references for it that can be used on Wikipedia. It is very easily verifiable. It is just that it is a theoretical term. Go ask a doctor if you question it. Dyinghappy (talk) 06:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
If you have it from a medical dictionary in print, why don't you cite that? Citations don't have to be available online. --Bazzargh (talk) 09:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Just delete it. This is pointless and stupid. I was trying to improve Wikipedia, and all of this nonsense has come up. I am not going to bend over backwards to "save an article" that I only wrote because I thought that people might want to know about these terms and expand their minds. All the citations and proof that the word is real are in the article. If you want to delete it, then delete it and lets end this charade. Dyinghappy (talk) 13:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
I got the idea from User:Dihydrogen Monoxide by the way, because I was impressed by his clever username. Its an obscure word for water, just like how cephalectomy is an obscure word for decapitation. I note that there is an article for Dihydrogen Monoxide but yet you don't want one for cephalectomy. The whole point is that it would be on google if not for that band hogging up all of the google hits. I thought that Wikipedia was supposed to educate, not to just recreate things that everyone already knows. Dyinghappy (talk) 13:07, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
And of course, if it weren't for the Dihydrogen Monoxide hoax, would you have an article about the perfectly valid and mind-expanding chemistry term? I don't know if you would, but you should. And just because the google hits for Dihydrogen Monoxide are filled with the hoax doesn't mean that that should be the encyclopaedia article - the correct article should be about water (which it is sort of). In a similar way, the article on cephalectomy shouldn't be about the band just because it fills up more hits on google. It should be about the perfectly valid term. Dyinghappy (talk) 13:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
If there wasn't any press coverage about Dihydrogen Monoxide, that article wouldn't be there - the hoax is quite well known, and its the hoax that's interesting; most chemical compounds can be referred to by many names, see e.g. the infobox for Phenol, and they don't get individual articles; in any case, simple word definitions belong on Wiktionary, not here. What makes the Dihydrogen Monoxide article different from the Cephalectomy one is that it has references which are verifiable. Please read WP:FIRST.
I have nothing against your article except that it lacks reliable sources; and I don't just mean for the prefix and suffix. Just because its a valid agglutination, whose meaning can be guessed, does not mean that it is a word in use. eg, I can make the word 'brachiectomy', but that isn't the word for an arm amputation - brachiotomy is.
I didn't just check google web search; I also looked in the medical dictionaries scanned into google books and amazon, and medical research on PubMed. You claim it's in a medical dictionary; it would take less than a minute to type in the name of the medical dictionary where it could be found. Then your article would have a reliable source, so why don't you do this, its far quicker than arguing the point here?
Re arguing the point here, both the proposed deletion and the proposed merge linked to the appropriate Talk page for this (which isn't here, because noone but me is reading this page). If you follow those instructions in future you might find other editors jumping to your defence.
By the way, I'm not an admin - I can't delete your article. It will be culled in 5 days if the prod label stays. If you want it deleted sooner, you just need to add {{db-author}} at the top - see Template:Db-author. --Bazzargh (talk) 13:54, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] dyk nom .... in 24 hours?

wow, front page news :). Yes, both of those have good sources. I would say 'uncle Max Born's popular Physics book' - it'll get instant name recognition from any physics students; thats what got me interested enough to research and write the article --Bazzargh (talk) 13:36, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your editing in The Tortoise and The Geese, I already review it. I think the article is complete enough for Wikipedia standard. Thanks! Ivan Akira (talk) 08:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requests for Pape Protection

Please do not post that many requests for page protection in cases where there is not enough vandalism at the moment. We do not protect pre-emptively but only when there is a valid case of persistent vandalism. Wikipedia is open for anyone to edit, so protecting pages is done only on cases where it is warranted, and generally for as short a period of time as possible (there are exceptional cases of course, that are treated differently). Thanks for your help and understanding. -- Alexf42 12:43, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] R.E: 'Kids Choice' vandal

Semi-protection isn't really necessary. We can just revert him and the damage will be repaired until he vandalises again, though the protection may get a bit of it off our back. Also FYI, the "'Kids Choice' vandal" already has a name, called The UPN Vandal. Thought I should add that. --AAA! (AAAA) 13:35, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mayweather Wight

Giving you trouble? I reported him/her at AIV. B110 communicate (that means talk) 02:57, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Not really trouble. Just 'the usual'. I normally steer clear of the wrestling cruft, theres too many junk edits to keep track of; but the WP:DAYS articles are kept pretty clean and thats where he trod on my toes. I was giving him the count of 4 - Didn't expect him to stop though, its clearly a SPA. Bazzargh (talk) 03:03, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: That Sock warning

Just add that orders are to block on sight on this guy, and maybe add this link to the note as well. That usually helps. --AAA! (AAAA) 10:56, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Secondly, when you revert one of the socks, remember to check their contributions for any other edits that may need to be reverted. I saw you reverted an edit by this guy, but there were others that weren't taken care of. I've reverted them now, but just so you know for the future... --AAA! (AAAA) 11:06, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Don't worry. He usually seems to attack about once a day, or sometimes longer. He's not really a threat, as his edits can easily be reverted. He's just annoying, that's all. --AAA! (AAAA) 11:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Tortoise and The Geese Book Page Image

Hey Bazzargh, I have searching the net and found that a picture that suitable for The Tortoise and The Geese article, I found it from http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=dutton&book=tortoise&story=tortoise, but unfortunately I can't find the license for that, can you lend me a time to help to incorporate picture from that source to yours article (to make it better)? Ivan Akira (talk) 08:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that image is out of copyright in the UK. Its from the Maude Barrows Dutton edition - she was born in 1880, but I don't know when she died. If it was before 1933, the image may be out of copyright, but otherwise its hard to be sure. Bazzargh (talk) 08:46, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

So, how 'bout it? Can we add that picture freely? Or we should ask a permission to use it, and from who if we should ask? Ivan Akira (talk) 08:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm updated the image in The Tortoise and The Geese and User:Bazzargh/The Tortoise and the Geese to my image in Commons, sorry to bother you. Ivan Akira (talk) 03:23, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Osmosis Jones???

I didnt edit anything on osmosis jones dumbass. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.215.28.109 (talk) 03:06, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re post on my page

Thank you for informing me Bazzargh. With regards to the above post I think it's likely that the above user is a sockpuppet of the UPN vandal and that he edited the Osmosis Jones article. The UPN Vandal seems to have an obsession with a giant evil toad called Thrax. Thrax also happens to be the name of the main antagonist in Osmosis Jones just in case you didn't know. I wouldn't let him get away with callin you "dumbass" either. He's a rude little twerp. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 15:07, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I think I know this guy. Is he the one who kept creating articles about CGI animated animal-themed films starring... well, just about everyone? I seem to recall taking a few of those to AfD. A real pain in the backside, and a good argument for the updating of the speedy deletion criteria to include "hoax". Steve T • C 15:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 11:55, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] your presto edits

just a heads-up-- we need to present a consistent enforcement policy on all future items that have been entered onto the various Pixar-related pages regarding needing proper citations. For example, most of us knew that Cars 2 was coming for a while now, but we had to wait until it was announced this week before it could be added. Same thing holds for Presto, so if you can dig up those citations that would qualify per WP:CITE, that would be swell. Cheers! SpikeJones (talk) 17:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] pixar tense

actually, "past future" tense. The sentence is talking about an item written in the past that is talking about something that will occur in the future... even though that future is something that is still in today's past. ie, in 2008 we're reading a document from 2006 that is talking about something that will be happening in 2007...." In this case, "will be" is correct, not "is", as it is referring to all future projects, starting with "Cars", which had not been released at that point. SpikeJones (talk) 13:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Dude, if we're talking the same thing and agree that "is" was incorrect, then fix it to what it should be. While I appreciate the grammar lesson, pointing it out in that manner is just a wee bit of overkill. We both have better things to do with our time than nitpick what the definition of "is" is. No harm, no foul.SpikeJones (talk) 14:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Another sockpuppet of the UPN Vandal

I recently removed the following text from the Evil Queen article:

"The evil toad, Thrax (Nat Wolff) has escaped from the zoo to raise the army of frogs (CGI version army) to destroy Lowe's Motor Speedway." Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_%28Snow_White%29"

It was added at 11:13 today by an IP named User:172.133.149.52. I really don't think I need to say anything else. Should we block him? --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 20:53, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that's probably the most prudent thing to do, Bazzargh. Just thought I ought to tell someone. You can't deny, the guy's insane. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 11:24, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thrax gets a sex-change

I noticed you reverted the UPN Vandal's recent edit to the Evil Queen article which is usually the brunt of his vandalism (Thraxita, lol!). Sorry to nag but if the Queen article is to make FA status I strongly suggest you get someone to block him. If he thinks he can get away with it he'll just keep at it. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 11:55, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Warning the guy

Hey. Just a helpful tip for you: Don't bother warning the guy. He never listens, and changes IP very often, so there really isn't any point in warning him. All you need to do is revert him, and maybe ask an admin to ban him/her if you catch him whilst he is currently active. Hope that helps. --AAA! (AAAA) 12:01, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Interesting

He changed his name from Vikrant Phadkay to Ultraviolet scissor flame, he has been blocked twice as a vandal for being a page blanker [Phadkay]. He also failed spectacularly when he tried to be a Wikipedia Admin Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Vikrant Phadkay. He is also a master sock puppeteer, Paerduug, [2] and then when he realised he had given himself away, he tried to cover it up [3] 81.130.223.198 (talk) 13:51, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
