[edit] the youtube gospel according to ichormosquito

apologizes. sorry for any confusion. it's starting to read like we are arguing about articles' neutrality. i happen to enjoy youtube and various users and contributors to the site. i am not going to restate my feelings on certain criteria because i am sure you understand most of my view point. i think it's cool that you research into youtube and create material for this online encyclopedia. maybe someday you'll write about me, who knows. i prefer to keep it all civil and open lively debate. in order, to best figure out what is viable [1] TomSkillingJr.

[edit] RE: Brookers Info Box

Haha, I didnt know that color was that important. Allthough in my opinion, red isn't a great color for it, hence I changed it.

I changed it to #ccf, what do you think? Yeahwhynot 16:45, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ben Going

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Ben Going, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Good detective work

I think all the delete votes are coming from one user, good investigative work, turn on your email so we can send each other email. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 05:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit]  ?

i came here to respond to the personal attack on my talk page. you see paranoid about people using multiple accounts. when many people disagree with you do you always think that its the same person? regarding you accusation of vandalism and threatening me with blocking (a power that i believe is not yours) i was simply trying to make the page you mention more realistic and more reflective of the subject and less like a fansite. please read up on civility thankyou.

Shoopshoop 20:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

No, your edit to Caitlin Hill was vandalism, plain and simple. Ichormosquito 20:22, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox_Internet_celebrity

I added the Nationality function to the Internet celebrity template. I have a few ideas to add other things as well if you want to discuss it! | Yeah why not? | » Reply » | 12:45, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Haha yeah, I know all too well. What I was thinking, is add a section for a fansite link and a chatroom, seeing as a lot of e-lebrities have these to communicate with their fans.

What are your thoughts? | Yeah why not? | » Reply » | 13:24, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your comments on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ben_Going

Hello, it is my obligation to try to resolve this issue with you in a civil and personal manner. Simply put, I take extreme offense to your "shoot first, ask questions later" attitude towards users voting for the deletion of the Ben Going article. More specifically, your constant accusing of me and other editors of being trolls, liars, meatpuppets, sockpuppets, and single purpose accounts, contrary to existing evidence that they are, in fact, not. I have already said this on the AfD page, but I'll say it again here - in accordance with WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL, please cease these hostile accusations immediately. If you have reservations about a particular user, there are more civil ways to go about voicing them than blatantly calling them trolls or meatpuppets. I hope you'll work with me on this. Thanks, cacophony ◄► 06:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

Some examples... I'd consider "while the YouTube community spun the ordeal into a meme" sourced by a YouTube search to be original research; i.e. it is being asserted by a list of videos that this constitutes a meme. To me that is an original synthesis; you'd really need a source that refers to it specifically as a meme. Moviepicturefilm.com is another site that I would use sparingly. I don't know if it exactly meets WP:RS. I'm not saying it should be completely expunged, but I'd be sparing in what I'd source from that.--Isotope23 18:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] vandalism

Ichormosquito, i was hoping to get some more background on why it's necessary to "flesh out" youtube on wikipedia. will there ever be standards for youtube celebrities? it's obvious we have different opinions on what celebrity is. my main argument is most of these articles on "youtube celebrities" read like resumes or advertisements for their careers. do you have a basic outline of what you feel is notable for these type of people. please feel response in any form. i was just hoping to hear about the importance of fleshing out youtube's presence. also correct if i am wrong but boh3m3 does beg for money in his vlogs. how it is vandalism to note that ? Sexyorge 21:47, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• furthermore, sorry if i don't sound civil or my tone is being mistaken for something else. i was hoping to hear your opinion on this topic. regardless its fine either way. here is my further discussion on topic.

• http://www.boh3m3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2162

"Over the next few days, Wikipedia should allow editors to work on Boh3m3's entry. It's been protected in order to prevent further editing for a while now; but I'm fairly confident I can bring it back, at least temporarily. Since I don't know as much about him as some of you do, I'll need your help.

Boh3m3's deleted page

Page undelete discussion

We might need to write an article off of Wikipedia first before handing it to admins for approval. If you want to get started now, keep in mind nearly every bit of info must be sourced. Ideally, any pictures must be taken by YOU or signed off on by their creators.

EDIT: Page is back. We still need a picture of boh3m3 that has been signed off by its creator for noncommercial use: see the licensing information under Smosh's or Barats and Bereta's picture for a better idea of what I'm talking about. Pictures you might have taken of him at "As One" are acceptable."

—ichormosquito post on boh3m3 personal forum

that is my entire argument on why the article is bias, advertising and needs review. thanks Heideggger 17:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I created an account at boh3m3.net for that exact purpose. I have 4 posts there. There is nothing wrong with trying to recruit experts to help with writing an article. There is far from anything wrong with that. If I wanted to, I could have had hoards of boh3m3 fans find their way to the AfD, but I didn't. In fact, the exact opposite happened. Stop taunting me, and read up on WP:CIVIL. Thanks.Ichormosquito 21:59, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Wine Kone

Is it possible to use the photo found on the YouTube Stars gallery? I also found this tidbit about his age. http://www.ljtop.com/the_birthday_of_all_birthdays_125986184.html. Skyllo01 01:30, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

If you look at the link in his wiki, you'll see his interview with youtubestars. then in that site there is a gallery of youtubers and he has a picture there. by the way, i also found this: http://www.ryocenter.com/awards/youtube.html. Skyllo01 03:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

One more link: http://www.ryocenter.com/awards/coolpeople2006/. It made me laugh. "Super cool" Skyllo01 04:01, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nalts Image

Of course I have permission to use the image of Nalts. You want me to contact Kevin, ask him, and forward it to you? I would be more than happy to do so as long as it keeps you from removing it for absolutely no reason.

I wrote something stupid in response to this a little while ago, but then an image I included was deleted. No matter: just a sincere thanks! Ichormosquito 08:40, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spells in Harry Potter

Hey, this article has been nominated for deletion again, would you mind swinging by and defending it as you did so staunchly last time? Looks like it could really use the help! GlassCobra 01:46, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure to keep my wording more neutral in the future. GlassCobra 07:06, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AFD for Spells in Harry Potter

Hello. I just wanted to tel you know something regarding this comment of yours at the AFD for Spells in Harry Potter. Please note that canvassing is unacceptable and that AFD is not a vote. Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 03:05, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:CANVASS states, somewhat ambiguously, that there are editors who think notifying both parties in a debate may be acceptable. ichor}mosquito{ 04:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Happyslip

Don't worry, I deleted it myself because I moved it to a temp folder I'm using for these purposes ;) cheers --Outspan 10:50, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi again, what was the google query you used to find the references, so that I can use it to improve the article? thanks --Outspan 14:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing signature

I find the use of } and { in your signature distracting and confusing per Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing your signature, especially because of their reverse order. It looks to me like somebody is trying to emphasize, refactor or group text outside your signature. I saw your signature at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Happyslip where it's repeated many times. Would you consider changing it? PrimeHunter 14:49, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

The colors you chose also are visually difficult to look at. The multiple posts at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Happyslip really brings this issue out. Would you consider changing the colors used in your signature to something less intense? -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:24, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. Very difficult to understand and read Apelike 00:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Argh. Ichormosquito 21:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for changing it. PrimeHunter 01:17, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Happyslip in DYK?

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that, as suggested by User:Jreferee, I nominated Happyslip for DYK [Did You Know?]: see here. The article is also a B-Class now (see Talk page). If it succeeds, however, it will be put on main page in a day or two, so let's keep in contact through the talk page ;) cheers -- Outspan [talk · contribs] 23:13, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Nalts.JPG

I removed it from the page but will try to get in contact with the Flickr user. I didn't realize whether or not a pic be noncommercial is an issue, so long as it has a CC license. Oh well. Ichormosquito 15:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for getting the release - I verified the license and uploaded the image at Commons with a "reviewed" template. That way we can keep the image even if the photographer changes the license at Flickr in the future. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 14:06, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

FYI, we can take CC "attribution" and "ShareAlike" licenses. NC and NoDerivs are unfree so far as Wikimedia is concerned, I'm afraid. Thanks again! Videmus Omnia ^Talk 14:10, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen King IPC

Exactly my point. Removing all the indiscriminate list of trivia, all that was left was the opening paragraph. One paragraph is too short for a daughter article, so I merged what I could in. Will ^(talk) 11:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

		My RFA
		Hey man! Thanks for your support in my request for adminship, which ended with over 9000 supports, 3 opposes, and 1 neutral. I hope your confidence in me proves to be justified, and please feel free to call on me if you ever need any help or opinions! Also, I saw that you kept that vandalism, and I had a good chuckle. :) GlassCobra 02:15, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

That couldn't have gone better even if you had received over 9000 supports. Congratulations on a thoroughly successful RfA! Ichormosquito 04:16, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanksgiving

Hello Ichormosquito. Please refrain from removing sourced information from articles. In the United States, Thanksgiving was established as a holiday to give thanks to God for blessing the nation. This fact is clearly shown by the First Thanksgiving Proclamation (the establishment of the holiday) as well as subsequent proclaimations. Please read the quotes on the article before reverting sourced information. With regards, Anupam^Talk 19:42, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

In addition, it grammatically makes no sense to give thanks without having an object of that verb. With regards, Anupam^Talk 19:45, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

No, you are incorrect. Every president's thanksgiving proclamation from Abraham Lincoln to George W. Bush has included thanking God in his address. As far as I know, they have not thanked any of the other deities that you have mentioned. Nevertheless, I have looked at your recent compromise and feel that is acceptable for the article. With regards, Anupam^Talk 21:32, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of List of YouTube celebrities

An editor has nominated List of YouTube celebrities, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of YouTube celebrities (3rd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:59, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Richard Stern / Lazydork

Hello, this is Richard Stern. I am requesting deletion of my page for personal privacy reasons. Feel free to contact me re: this issue at ricky@lazydork.com Thank you.

- Another wikipedia editor has taken it upon himself to block my requests to get my page deleted; it's amazing that people fight so hard to get stuff on to Wikipedia, but it seems just as hard to get it off. You're basically my only chance. You've been very understanding in the past about respect for privacy, I hope you can help me. It's not as if I'm trying to delete my page about when I was President of the Galaxy. I was a no-name youtuber.
