Talk:Firby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Propose Splitting

I would propose turning this page into a disambiguation page for the various places called Firby and putting the info from this article into the relevant place articles.

[edit] 2004

this information is wrong and misplaced

this information is otherwise irrelevant to most but people like me

this information doesn't need to be here

this information is a personal retraction

I fluffed up Wiki with my own stuff and misused Wiki for my own purposes. I don't need to put this here. Anybody who wants to see this can check out Genuki.

I repeat...there is vastly erroneous info here considering definitions of place names have changed so much over the centuries. in germanic days, the combined element of both firbys in their present or prepresent state as townships, would be labeled as a borough[archaic] together, but it hardly makes sense the way things are presently with such types of definitions, as both firbys are't municipalities as they once were, having further previously before singular municipality, been just one holding by one family of Swedish blood from Furby, Vasteras. they have recently been incorporated as villages/neighborhoods into separate towns, which destroys the former solid bond between the two neighborhoods as one unit. [compare (home)state to (home)stead.] obviously, people like me who share this surname think only of the unit as it once was, rather than splintered.

I continue to state, I prefer to have this page deleted, unless i have full autonomy on the decisions for developmental process of the page, with suggestions on layout, of course.

Sorry, once you contribute something here you cannot "retract" it, nor will you be given "full autonomy". It is verifiable that it is a real place, and therefore relevant, no matter how small. --Wik 20:23, Feb 25, 2004 (UTC)

Then...do it yourself! If you care so much to interfere and smugly shove your bureaucratic red tape in my face, carry the weight on your own shoulders to improve it, otherwise, learn to leave well alone! I am not the only person or one of the few who have complained at your arrogant preposterous behaviour[judging from your talk page]. Your only apparent interest is to shove an arbitrary rule in my face, which appears to be prevalent in your likewise disruptive behaviour towards other Wiki contributers. Go on, I dare you, provide me with more than one reason why you show a true interest in the subject matter of my contributions, and not a desire to learn me the rules!!!!!!

Oh geez, please not this all over again - check out User:Kenneth Alansson's contributions from last October, when he graced us with this comment among others:

Stop trolling by reverting my content. I want nothing to do with wikipedia anymore. I am erasing my contributions, and just leave it that way. I hate this fucking site, you are all snobbish twits.

Guess he just couldn't control himself... Stan 20:58, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Get off your high horse, Stan. Wiki-addiction might be a new chronic disorder. I figured that the presence of this article on Wikipedia left to disuse, misinformation, exaggeration and copyright violation would only feel shameful on my part, considering nobody would ever be found doing the article justice but me, considering my years long history of study on the topic. If the article is going to be watch-dogged and obdurately withheld from release of this site, then Wikipedia is claiming ownership to the knowledge which is au contraire to the freedom of information principles. I confess, I am an Indian-giver, but my crime is little else. I believe Wikipedia doesn't deserve the dignity of the info I have potential of providing when I actually care to, because I have already seen the snobbishness at certain levels where only certain interpretations will be upheld on issues and topics, much to many newbies' dismay, while those in certain cliques/circles associated with self-centred sysops who carry closeminded viewpoints carry such weight as to blot out or revert any changes to their precious contributions of understanding. Intellectual fascism is defined as dictatorship. With such an open-source material as Wikipedia, this will only shield newcomers to the variety of ideas because they may percieve free knowledge as truth when it is in fact but an opinion. The reason I do not engage in private discussion with sysops to kiss their asses with me under their wing, is for the very same point I have been conveying. I intend to preserve an open-minded outlook which is not subject to sysop and henchmen approval. Who are you to me??? Nobody but an obstruction to my peace online. If you are going to get so singularly hung up on my contributions like an obsession, then the simplest solution would be to ignore me. After all, I bet you don't have an interest in this article either. Furthermore, if you try to ban me, you will only be proving my analysis of your wishy-washy insistance of dictatorship and intellectual suppression, wimp. "Get the F out!" - User:Kenneth Alan

"I believe Wikipedia doesn't deserve the dignity of the info" you provide? Then why are you here? As for the content you contributed... you agreed when you entered the site to the GFDL and what exists now isn't just your contribution anyway.. so many people have added to it. I think Stan is as confused as I am of why you feel the need to come back to what you dislike so much to give this rant against it. - Texture 22:18, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Just how many people have actually contributed besides those who set about manically reverting MY CONTRIBUTED data??!

Firby areas are nothing political and administrative nowadays, just a few residential areas of large apartment complexes, stately homes and bed n breakfasts today in larger, rather indifferent places that make no special importance of Firby themselves. Only it is me with the interest. What does that have to do with Wikipedia's goal? That is why I have compiled the scarce info on one page, under Furby, the origin of things Firby, which I have not plagiarised from any source but provided links to. User:Kenneth Alan

Copletely rewrote the article. No longer in danger of plagarism or copyright violation. Historical information on something that is now a political and administrative area is still a good article. Please expand if possible. - Texture 16:23, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your contribution Texture. It is appreciated. The big problem lies in little knowledge of current issues relevant to the placenames. It appears that full annexation and dissolution of these places doesn't give them enough credit to even be mentioned online. For instance, not even Westow has it's own website but one page featured on Ryedale's site, and Bedale has three websites but no mention of Firby. This is a headache. I felt upset that I started a page with little to go on for today and which barely anybody would care to go over, except when they see it's not some damn toy without any relationship to Furby/Firby but I think the toy makers should rename their toy to furbie. I will attach the stub announcement. User:Kenneth Alan

Good work. It is a much better article with your updates. - Texture 17:45, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)


[edit] UK Firby

Most of the information in this section appears to be rather dated and does not reflect the current day administrations for the locations mentioned.

Keith D 19:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to add, but remember to not take away local history. Redistrictings done by recent ministries (Labour, etc.) have abolished the treasured trappings of a thousand years old, because they believe it's progressive. Please keep "dated" descriptions, even if you feel the need to add the current system. I believe in the ridings and so do many others, some of whom also care for wapentakes/hundreds and liberties/honours, regardless of feudal functions not having been in use for quite some time--the Reform Acts, for instance, changed much.
