Trigger Happy

Dear Administrator:

I, like you, am an editor; I create articles and make edits. But, many, I am sure many other people out there, are tired, frustrated and angry with the behavior of many Administrators. I am certain that it is appallingly easy to revert and article, that someone has undoubtedly spent allot of time and effort writing. I have, in the past spent hours, researching, planning, writing, checking and revising an addition to an article only to have the whole lot deleted forever three minutes afterwards.

I know that deletion of material is essential in a free-to-edit encyclopedia, but if you see an article that someone has anonymously devoted their time to writing, why could you not revise it, change it or give a reason for you action? They deserve one.

I know all Administrators are not all Drunk-With- Power-Trigger-Happy-Nazis, many of you do an excellent job and you know who you are.

In closing: Create, don’t Destroy. Make a distinction between “what is right, and what is easy”. Be enriched and enrich others with the knowledge of other people.

And keep that finger off the trigger.

Dfrg.msc 01:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I also agree with dfrg.msc. I propose that we create a gang of people that are against administrators that are deleting pieces of work that have had someones heart poured into them. and we shall call exactly that. and we shall also abbrevaite it to GOPTAAATADPOWTHHSHPIT. all who wish to join leave your user name on my usertalk page:Mark606800 Talk Page

Regarding your valuable input to my talk page, do you have any particular page in mind or is it just general thoughts? abakharev 09:10, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

  • I have noticed that you posted an identical message to the talk pages of many people. Please avoid this as it may be considered spam. Instead in future please post your valuable observations to WP:VPP or WP:AN or similar page. abakharev 09:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree with the above comments. If you have an issue with any action I have taken as an administrator, feel free to raise it with me. Otherwise, though, spam is not appreciated. Best,--Alabamaboy 13:15, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I'd presume that your comments are based on your experiences editing the Tomorrow series. Although it's clear why you're frustrated, please understand that the administrators involved do not mean to be rude in any way. Feel free to ask them to explain to you why they made the edits they did: compromise and discussion is at the heart of creating quality, NPOV Wikipedia articles. In the meantime, in case you haven't already read it, check out Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, which might give you a better idea of why the dispute arose on the Tomorrow series. In the meantime, happy editing, and enjoy Wikipedia! --Alex S 18:36, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spider-Man#How did this Start?

Shave the Wales!

Half ten? I never been awake at half ten! What happens?

What has four legs, is big, green, fuzzy, and if it fell out a tree on you, would kill you?

A pool table [punchline] tity boom[/punchline]

Anyway, I got home and the phone was ringing. I picked it up and said,"who's speaking please?" and the voice said,"you are".So I rang my local swimming baths and asked," is that the swimming baths?" He said, "Depends where your calling from." So I rang the rubbish removel place and said, " I want a skip out the front of my house" and he said, "I'm not stopping you". After that I went to the dentist and he said, "say ahhhhh" and I said, "Why?" and he said, "because my dog has died." Most dentist chairs go up and down but this one went backwards and forwards. "This is strange" I thought, and the dentist said, " For Christ's sake, get the hell out of my filing cabinet." So I was driving home and my mobile rang, it was my boss. He said "you've been promoted" and I swerved. He rang again and said, "You've been promoted again" and I swerved again. He rang a third time and said, "You've been promoted to managing director." and I swerved into a tree. A policeman came and said," what happened?" and I said, " I careered off the road".

So ok, mates this be da requesition.

Replace the first O with a U.

NEXT!!!!!

Ok, random joke.

Santa Claus, on trial....

"Sir, is it true that you called my client, not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES, a 'ho'!?"

"You blasted him into another dimension?" "It was an accident! Relax, he'll be fine til I find him again.... unless he ended up in a Dimension of Pain or something."

  • Meanwhile*

"WELCOME TO THE DIMENSION OF PAIN!!!!!"

"Thanks, can I use your bathroom?"

.............

"No."

A guy walked into a bar, and when he stepped inside, he fell over. He looked down, and saw he slipped on some mess a dog left. He then went to the bathroom to clean up his shoe. When he stepped out of the bathroom, a really big, bulky, tough bikey walked through the door, and slipped on the same mess. As he was picking himself up, the guy said, "t goes in a tea pot."

Knock knock

(who's there)

Big-ish (Big-ish who)

no thanks.

She was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly her husband burst into the kitchen.

"Careful ... CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my GOD! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW!

We need more butter. Oh my GOD! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK!

Careful ... CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY?

Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!"

His wife stared at him.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

And that's it.

Hi, please review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a free host, blog, webspace provider or social networking site - I am not sure that you are usefully contributing - are you quite sure you want to be here and not elsewhere?--A Y Arktos\talk 08:56, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Spelt out specially for you:

Wikipedia is not a free host, blog, webspace provider or social networking site

Warning

No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman
You have been spotted climbing the Reichstag building dressed as Spiderman. At least one editor has reported this behavior as being in relation to a content dispute. As clearly stated in WP:NCR, you may not climb the Reichstag building dressed as Spiderman in order to campaign over a content dispute. This is your last warning. If you climb any further up, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Please do not erase this warning. Doing so is considered vandalism.

Just zis Guy you know? 15:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)


Hey man, I did it origianly - before the policy was set. It was because of me that this thing is popping and hopping. I am the first perpitrator! Sorry!

Dfrg.msc 23:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Enthusiasm

Dfrg.msc, your enthusiasm is greatly appreciated about WP:NCTRDAS but please no more spamming (WP:SPAM) about it. The "policy" you inspired is very funny! Thanks!! Netscott 08:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Awwwww! I was having fun! Gah. Ah well.

Dfrg.msc 08:56, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, but playtime is over. Find some articles to edit, yes? Just zis Guy you know? 09:01, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

How did this Start?

How did this meme start? Was there any particular reason the Reichstag and Spider-Man were chosen? Is this page in blatant violation of WP:BEANS? Andjam 03:04, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I've been in this from the very start so.. This be the Legend:

Ok, so, one sunny day long, long ago (11:43, 26 June 2006), I posted the article Trigger Happy (Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive47#Trigger Happy ) on the WP:VPP page and also on the Administrators' noticeboard. Little did I know the response that I would get. At the end of my article I wrote: If I don't cop flack for this one, I will climb the Reichtag Bulding in a Spiderman outfit. This was the response:

  • Please provide a photo of your climbing the Reichstag in a Spiderman outfit. Proto///type
  • When will you be climbing the Reichstag? I'll try to be around.(and could provide the photo then) Lectonar
We are the rouge admin cabal and will block you indefinitely for violating the Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman. Also, we will extend this block to everybody you have ever met because you violated Wikipedia:Don't post incidents without giving people the faintest clue what the f**k you're on about, which is definitely policy. Just zis Guy you know? 12:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

At this stage Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman was just a link to the Hoax page. I decided then to indulge User:Proto and actualy digitaly edited a photo of myself climbing the Reichtag Bulding in a Spiderman outfit. I then posted this on the same page with the remark "Ok, but you forced me into this. Scaling a major landmark is harder than it looks". The original image has since been deleted as it violates copyright.


It was at this stage that Just zis Guy you know? took it to a new level. Gone was the re-direct and those considering climbing the Reichstag in a Spiderman outfit could only tremble in fear in the shadow of the New Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman page. People started going there, mainly out of curiosity, and we soon realized that we had created a monster.

I was then indefinitely bollocked for violating policy (Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman). Just zis Guy you know? 10:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

A long battle ensued as to wheter we should keep the page on this fine website. With the help of countless people and of course the Rouge Admin and their mighty Cabal we won and here it is. The offical score was 13 points and a log to 27 points a brused backside and 3 ripped dresses.

And that, my children is how a rag-tag group of Wikipedeians got together and formed the Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spiderman page. There has been countless contributors and the battle still rages on many fronts but in the end, I think it is worth it to keep the Reichstag Spider-man free.

Dfrg.msc 09:33, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

NCR: A History

"In extreme cases editors may be tempted to climb the Reichstag building dressed as Spiderman in order to promote their cause. This is absolutely forbidden and can result in an indefinite block from editing Wikipedia." This single event is a great example of all the good qualities of our beloved Wikipedia! Horay! Next stop: The Kremlin!

"Free" to use images

Hello Dfrg.msc, if you're looking for images of the Reichstag that you can use to make another image try the Wikimedia Commons. Here's a direct link. Try to utlize images that are marked as Public Domain. Not sure where you'll be able to get an image of Spider-Man that you can use... but if you can try to find one that has a Public Domain license. On another note, I've seen where you've used Wikipedia as a private messaging board to chit-chat. The talk areas of Wikipedia are not meant for such usage but are primarily used for talk related to the Wikipedia project so I would council you to refrain from talk that isn't project related. Try as much as you can to generally contribute to the project by improving articles/adding encyclopedic images/working on Wikipedia infrastructure/etc. Thanks. Netscott 10:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

From Commons: your very own GFDL image at Image:Spiderman in San Francisco.jpg. Please study the licensing system at GNU Free Documentation License to attribute it properly - not hard at all, just acknowledge your sources and also licence it as GFDL. I don't think climbing down a building is any safer than climbing up.--A Y Arktos\talk 10:56, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks mate, I can use these.

Dfrg.msc 11:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

A fellow user had mistakenly reverted out your question on Talk:Spider-Man but I restored it. I noticed however that you added the possible copyvio image to your original message. Please don't post the image for display (links are fine) further on Wikipedia until it's copyright status is verified as doing this is counter to policy. Ok, here's to hoping that you can come up with another image in the meantime. :-) Netscott 14:33, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Time to stop now.

Wikipedia is not a playground, your nonsensical edits to article space should now stop. Just zis Guy you know? 14:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

WP:NCR

Thanks! I'll have to start a Spider-Man/public buildings mailing list...

By the way, about the brilliant picture: If its copyright status is a problem, you may be able to recreate the image using similar pictures from the Commons. Hope that helps! Snoutwood (talk) 20:14, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Image upload issues

Your upload of the Jeff MacNelly image was done under false pretenses -- the Pig of War is *not* public domain, and uploading it as such places the project in legal danger. Please stop uploading images using incorrect licenses or you will be blocked indefinitely. --Improv 06:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Ye olde Badd Giokes and Other Deleetid Nonsense#Mass Exodus

I tried to view your image addition to Albert Einstein but I just got a nasty message saying unsourced material will be shortly deleted. Thought you ought to know. --Michael C. Price talk 09:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Please don't use fair-use images in userspace

Fair use images are not permitted in userspace, and place the project in legal risk. I have taken the liberty of removing all those I could spot from your userpage. Please do the same for your talk page and avoid their use in the future in userspace. --Improv 20:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

  • The best way to find out is to visit the page for the image in question and see what license it provides. Note that sometimes this is wrong, and if it is found to be wrong, generally the image should be deleted. Be very careful when uploading new images that you provide information as to the source of the image and any relevant license issues accurately. It is a major problem for the project when people do not do this, because it puts the project at legal risk. I am admittedly worried about you as a user because of your tendency to spend a lot more time on pranks and showing off than contributing, so I'm keeping an eye on what you're doing. If you could change your focus towards improving the projects rather than making people laugh or being weird, that'd be great. --Improv 14:34, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk pages

Generally, when someone rolls back what you've added to their talk page, it's implied that they're not interested in having you replace it. So let me eliminate any confusion: no more editing my talk page. I'll consider it vandalism next time. Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 21:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Do not touch the f-22 page or further action will be taken! M1 abrams 12:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Jeez, I only changed F-22 Raptor to F-22 Craptor and it was reverted 7 seconds later. Stop wasting your time. Dfrg.msc 01:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Stop wasting your time in the first place, and it wouldn't be a problem with anyone else. --Scottie theNerd 03:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Dfrg.msc for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familliar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 01:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Great. User:Dfrg.msc

Warning.

With your continued vandalism (pranks or no) and problematic contribution to Wikipedia, you're coming close to exhausting community patience. Please remember that this is a project to make an encyclopedia, and if you insist on using it as a place for random garbage and comedy, you will be blocked. I believe you have the potential to being a productive and nondisruptive editor, please do so. It would be a wonderful show of good faith to clean all the crap off of your userpage/talkpage, appropriate license or no (e.g. the FIS, Loah loah, and so on) --Improv 14:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Seconded. More than enough already. Just zis Guy you know?
  • Fine, but Im keeping the boxes. Dfrg.msc 23:24, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Things look better! I hope this is the start of productive harmony. To answer your question, "Free Use" is not something that's ever appropriate on userpages. If you want to use an image on your userpage, either find it already present here, and check the claimed license, create it yourself (ensuring there no license issues), or edit it from licenses that permit such editing. As a rule of thumb, random images you find on the web are not ok to upload to Wikipedia. I advise you to use images sparingly on your userpage, and generally focus on improving articles. --Improv 00:02, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Improv, your advise is sound, reasonable and helpful to me. I thankyou, and my page does look better. You actions here are a reflection on this fine website and you are to be congradulated.

Thanks, Dfrg.msc 00:07, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

"History" of WP:SPIDER

Hello Dfrg.msc, I've noticed your efforts to include a history of the decree on it's talk page. What I would suggest you do is copy that history over to a user page of your own, say like User_talk:Dfrg.msc/WP-SPIDER history and then just make a small link from the talk page to your user page. I suspect other editors won't mind if you do that and will leave your link. Hope that helps. Cheers. (→Netscott) 16:53, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Nonsense edits

Hello Dfrg.msc. Please do not post nonsense to user or article talk pages. Article talk pages, in particular, are meant for collaboration towards the improvement of the article.

This was deleted without warning as it's the third time you've uploaded it without proper license... something you've been advised of many times already. Taking an image and running it through Photoshop does not make it yours. Continuing to upload such images is also against policy; next time it may lead to a block, as you've had plenty of warnings by now. Tijuana Brass|¡Épa!]] 19:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

dam third world! pathetic NASA and their 1950s trash. I think its sad to think that we have not been to the moon in over 40 years!. We could easly go back. Or we could even go to mars. But nobody wants to or cares. Instead they give billions of dollers to the pathetic third world!. Think of what we could do if our space programs were funded.

their are many proposed ways to revelutionise space traval like nuclear powered rockets but nobody listens!
