[edit] Images on Display

My message for those who claim to support "The Iraqi Resistance"

Image:Which Iraqi Resistance.jpg

An image I've been trying to save. First because it was attached to an article that some people keep deleting without justification, and next because I think Brenda Song looks great like this.

Since some bot deleted an article about a TV episode, another one decided to declare the image I added for it an orphan file. Not even the fact that I posted it on my userpage protected it. So this time, I decided to replace it with something else


Well, the image from another article was deleted, because the article Influenza: The Musical (Even Stevens) was deleted by the same Son Of a Bot. So, I'm going to have to post something else here:


A nice piece of Long Island MacArthur Airport. More specifically a police car from the Town of Islip Auxillary Police Force's MacArthur Airport Division.

[edit] More Data to Come

  • October 6, 2007: I'm officially pissed-off at the staff of Wikipedia for deleting more of the TV Episode articles we write. The standards they're setting latley are beyond anybody's reach. Nothing is good enough for them. It's getting to the point where unless it causes some cultural upheavel reminiscent of the Fraudulent anti-Muslim Political Cartoon Riots of 2006, they have no significance whatsoever to the WikiAdministrators.
  • October 10, 2007: The saga continues. Since my Even Stevens episode articles are being deleted, the images I added for them are being tagged for deletion. This my violate Wikipedia's TOS, but I may start an enemies list in response to these rampant deletions.
  • November 2, 2007: I joined Wikimedia Commons, in hopes of securing some of my images(crossing my fingers), and since I can't always guarantee that other editors will take them and add them to the commons. But if anybody tries to delete them, I swear I'll flame their asses raw!
  • February 20, 2008: I've missed a lot of landmark edits since I made my 10,000th on August 28, 2007, including my 12,000th, 12,500th, and my 15,000th edits. Sadly, I have no way of tracking what these edits were. Nevertheless, I'm more focused on the tasks at hand than how many edits I can make.
  • April 19-21, 2008: I got blocked yesterday, because another editor decided to tag more of my images for deletion, and I tried to protect them from him. He may do some good stuff here from time to time, but that S.O.B. is among many reasons I prefer not to go to any WikiConventions. I will add more images in the future, but even if I break 20,000 edits, I won't find any reason to celebrate.
  • May 29, 2008: I didn't make 20,000 edits in two years, but after two years on Wikipedia, I've finally decided to move a select group of my images to the Wikimedia Commons. I've got so much to keep track of on the main Wikipedia, that moving them to elsewhere has become necessary. On days when I can't wait, I make duplicates so the bots and administrators will rush the old ones for deletion.
  • May 30, 2008: My 20,000th edit was the addition of a proper routebox for the Hamburg Street (Baltimore Light Rail station), although frankly I'm not sure about the direction of these routeboxes. As I expected, I've got no awards for this, and considering all the crap I've had to put up with on Wkipedia, I'm not anticipating one that much.
