[edit] Amazing

I just stumbled across your user page, and we were both born on March 31, we both share the same political ideals, I'm into punk music and we both live in Victoria... How extraordinary. Callan

How exactly is that amazing? Bento180 12:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crass

Thanks for the note, someone else has fixed it though... Best to keep an eye on this as all this rubbish happened a couple of years ago, at the time the work of 'Micheal', who now seems to be a reformed character...quercus robur 14:10, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Skate Punk

Please stop editing the skate punk section. I am a skate punk and I've lived all over the US and in Europe and 99% of all skate punks I have met: hate Tony Hawk and deeply deeply do not admire him,Do not have a very long wallet chain or even a chain,Do not wear baggy pants for it is impossible to skate in them or wear shorts because that hurts when you fall.And every single skate punk that I have met that is not a poser do not wear airwalks or vans. Those are horrible skate shoes and you will never catch any real skate punk wearing a pair.(in certain cases some pairs of vans but never airwalks). And I have met one punk skater with dreadlocks in my life. That is extremely uncommon and so it does not help if you put that in wikipedia. I'd appreciate it if you would leave it how it is now. Thanks =) Day22 23:07, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

Hey, I just wanted you to know that I just reformatted your userboxes since they weren't displaying well. You had three columns, and the screen wasn't wide enough, so a lot of them were half-covered. If you don't like the edit, you can easily revert it. I noticed that a few of my (previously) unique userboxes have found their way onto your page. I'm always flattered to see people with userboxes I created. The Ungovernable Force 04:07, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] May userbox policy poll

Hi. You're a supporter of userboxes, and there's currently a policy poll going on about userboxes that might solve the speedy deletion issue. I encourage you to vote if you haven't already. Thank you. Dtm142 21:18, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, by Wikipedia policies, no fair-use images can be used on user pages; please see Wikipedia:Removal of fair use images. This image has not been deleted from any articles.

[edit] Wiki moderators

please note that this indivitual has created a site about him/herself, which is strictly against wikimedia policy, and most probably makes baby jesus cry (AHAHAHAHA! retart baby[personal opinion]) he also seems to like editing pages to what he thinks is suitale, like the skate punk site. I agree; no skate punks wear vans or airwalks; only the people who dont give a shit and will be happy to get a set of skate shoes for $30 (such as myself) can this user recieve a warning?

[edit] How is nu-metal similar to death metal?

You're the third person who's been asked this. --Danteferno 18:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I would also like to know this.--Inhumer 03:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
It's been discussed in the talk archives. -Switch t 04:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

They may have been influenced by DM, but I can't think of one nu metal that sounds similar to DM. --Inhumer 05:30, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Which is why I had removed it. --Inhumer 05:30, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to say you've been a good voice of reason on the punk rock discussion page. God knows I rarely am:P, nice work. (Justinboden86 06:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the barnstar. I didn't notice it until right now. Let me know if you need help with anything. WesleyDodds 09:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It's anarchy....

...for sale, anarchy for sale! I love that song too by the way. Have you heard "A Piss in the Ocean" by Conflict? It's good too. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 06:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Punk shops! Roll up! Buy rebellion here! Yeah, I love that song. Whole album, in fact, is a classic. I haven't listened to it in ages though, lost my CD a long while ago and haven't found it yet. I had a lot of trouble with the Soundtrack of Wikipedians in fact, because it's kind of hard to gauge whether I like "A Piss in the Ocean" or "Only a Pawn in Their Game" or "Rebel Without A Pause" or "So Much Trouble in the World" the most, because they're all so different. I still need to work on that list a fair bit.
By the way, the link to the lyrics site you posted, at the bottom of the page there's (for me anyway) an ad for the "United Church of God Australia", a fundamentalist Christian group. Slightly out of their key demographic, you think? -Switch t 10:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hijacking?

Your account made some changes yesterday to the page for Rage Against the Machine, which I just reverted.

...changes which I find quite odd given your userpage.

Might want to check into that.

Oh wait, it wasn't you. It was an anonymous right after you. Nevermind.

[edit] Punk Rock

Edit summaries like this are not helpful, especially during a FAR. + Ceoil 23:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] emo comment

"My Chemical Romance, The Used, Thursday, Fall Out Boy, From First to Last, Hawthorne Heights, Funeral for a Friend, Taking Back Sunday, Story of the Year, Thrice, Underoath, et cetera are not emo, but they are trendy, insipid, mindless, shallow, pretentious tripe, and I hate them."

Finally someone who's not a retard!

[edit] indiv anarchism

Look at footnote #7 in the anarcho-capitalism article. Anarcho-capitalists are called individualist anarchists by themselves and others. There are anarcho-capitalists who don't refer to themselves as anarcho-capitalists at all, but simply "individualist anarchists," such as Wendy McElroy. It's true that there are other kinds of individualist anarchists, but anarcho-capitalism is often known simply as "individualist anarchism" and often "free-market anarchism" instead of "anarcho-capitalism."

Yes, Your honor, that's exactly the point. It is already in the article that some people use individualist anarchism and anarcho-capitalism interchangeably. Mentioning it as a synonym in the first sentence implies that they are one and the same, which is untrue; they are closely related and overlapping but different ideologies. It is also unnecessary to include more than one example of other terms used in the introductory sentence, and using one specific one that is also used to describe a different political philosophy is misleading to the reader. It is already stated in the article, in the appropriate section and with explanation, that individualist anarchism can be used to simply mean anarcho-capitalism; there is no need whatsoever to insert it, without explanation, in the lead, as if the two terms were simple synonyms like anarcho-capitalism and free-market anarchism are.
"Individualist anarchism" is such a common alternate name for anarcho-capitalism that it should be stated there in the first sentence. It doesn't matter that "individualist anarchism" can also refer to something else.

[edit] Hicks and List of agnostics

Hi Switch. Could you find the reference and a quote substantiating Hicks' agnosticism so he can be added to List of agnostics? Thanks. Nick Graves 16:58, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Punk rock

Hi Switch, can you take a look at this, and let me know your toughts? I'm open to suggestion on this, but my reasoning is that this format makes it easier to follow, and to add to. Thanks. + Ceoil 21:10, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative metal

Why have you done this? Maybe do you hate hip hop? It's a real fact that Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Slipknot are also rapcore/rap rock/rap metal. --Chargin' Chuck 13:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, would you mind taking a look at the section titled "Input needed at Anarcho-punk and Straight edge" at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Punk music. Thanks. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 02:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Never forget

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Never forget, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. Oo7565 05:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, someone removed your prod template, and, uh, I have to say I agree with them. If you had any reasonable motivation for adding it, it wasn't clear. Anyway, if it gets genuinely threatened, I'll argue for its inclusion, but this here is a non-issue. ~Switch t 09:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] pinochet, gun control, socialism

u have alot of interestin' crap on yer page. I dodn't know the us helped put pinochet into power. and on 9-11, what an irony.

I strongly disagree with you on civilian gun control, we wouldn't need so many cops if people didn't have guns.

about ypur political views... do people still have private property in socialism? i've heard good things about it, but I don't like the idea of collective propery unless it's the means of production.

k thx bye Shroooooooof 16:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Lol, I see you're harrassing all the anarchists, eh? Just kidding. But yeah, the CIA gave funding, training, and logistical support to Pinochet and the other people involved in the coup, in the name of US corporate interests of course. We also rigged the election so Allende wouldn't get elected, but obviously it didn't work very well. Bush had better luck with that one in Florida. More info here. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 05:07, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Switch, I saw your response on his (or her) page. I totally agree with you on property and gun control, at least based on what you said. Anyway, have a good day. Ungovernable ForcePoll: Which religious text should I read? 04:32, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Allende was a Stalinist Communist, not a "socialist". As an anarchist I would hope you don't support Fidel Castro's fiefdom in Cuba, so why would you apparently try to whitewash Allende's totalitarian Marxist-Leninist intentions? More info here: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=26000 yes it's a "right-wing" site, read the article anyway. Also, if you're anti-capitalist, why do you read comic books like X-Men and watch Futurama, both of which wouldn't exist without capitalism? Seems rather hypocritical.

I think it should be obvious everything from that site should be taken with a grain of salt - as for Allende, he wasn't the greatest of posibilities, but he was better than the tyrants in the Soviet Union without a doubt. Much more libertarian and egalitarian. He wasn't like Lenin, who intentionally starved people, or Stalin, who... well, I gues you probably know all about Stalin.
As for my supposed hipocrisy... no it isn't, not in the slightest. Crass probably wouldn't have been making music without capitalism either, and if they still had I might never have heard of them. You could say that without capitalism, we wouldn't have any of what we now have. It's just damn well impossible to know. But even so, who cares? Should I stop using the internet because it's a capitalist pursuit? Should I not eat food produced for capitalist interests, or read books published by corporations? This is especially absurd when we're talking about the X-Men (who are icons for queer rights) or Futurama (made by democratic socialists, and even makes fun of free-market capitalists). Everything is produced for capitalist interests. That doesn't mean I can't like anything. Heaps of anarchists like Fight Club.

[edit] Thanks...

for the props, and the fine Civil War userbox. i hadn't been reading comics for years, and never read Marvel stuff. but i saw an article on Infoshop.org about the upcoming series where Captain America fights the government, and i had to check it out. as to sharing userboxes, i wish more (male, of course) wikipedians would borrow my Vasectomy box. but that's the misanthropist in me. anyway, if you can, feel free to expand any of those stubby articles i've created, or fix mistakes in the longer ones. cheers! Murderbike 19:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

PS, do you know what issues the aforementioned run of Green Arrow was? i'd definitely like to check that out. Murderbike 20:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I stole your thing.

Bwah, I took your intro thing about the "this page may have some controversial" yadda yadda, because it could be used for my page too.

And that makes sense, how? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.8.143.167 (talk) 11:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

Well, I've already answered this one, so I'm lifting the answer from last time I posted it:
It's actually a tough issue for me; I do agree with gun control, but not when mandated by the state for its own interests, and especially not when its enforcers like cops get to carry assault rifles. I'm mostly just unhappy that most people don't realise that they have to protect themselves from the authorities, not from other people. ~Switch t 02:52, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "unsourced on the emo page"

Umm.. please tell me what scientist is going to write essays on the emo sub-culture? More importantly, please tell me which of them is going to go to shows and note the latest fashion trends to go back into his journal and write about it?

You cannot source contemporary trends, unless I am missing something? Wikipedia is run by users, and I am part of the emo scene. I go to shows and I listen to the music and I know these trends because I see them as do others.

I am inclined to think you are an anti-pop emo-elitist because of your refusal to acknowledge the influence of emo music on more contemporary rock bands currently such as Fallout Boy or My Chemical Romance. Both of them get their styles from the emo music sub-genre and they sound curiously identical to emo music of the past and the present.

Please do not be a vigilante in the emo slang page and allow for change. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Noalia (talk • contribs) 00:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Circle-A/Red Star

Thanks very much, mate-I wasn't hinting, but thanks anyway, I may well use it. I got blocked from the Fascism page following a 3R vio-which is probably a sign that I should stop editing it-I tend to get enraged by that kind of nonsense, and end up wasting too much time on it anyway. The page is a total mess, and seeing visionthing start to mess up totalitarianism as well is exceedingly irritating. Best to take a step back and return at a later date. It's all good experience in direct democracy and practical anarchism, I guess! Stay in touch!FelixFelix talk 09:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On Joseph Campbell

Hello SwitChar.

[edit] List of Anarchists

Greetings, SwitChar. As of a few minutes ago I only just learned of the proposition, debate, subsequent deletion of the Anarchists list, and thought to commend your arguments in its favor, and your creation of a sandbox version. In my opinion, your version is superior in various ways, not the least of which being by far more coherent and organized, and hope that you will eventually be able to use it to recreate the list.

I would also like to add a few to this to help you, but being your project, I hesitate to do so without your permission. I shall simply explain my additions and allow you to consider them. Note that all of them have self identified as anarchists to the best of my knowledge, as I would not wish to repeat the same mistakes which killed the previous list. The first would be John Cage, an avant guard composer (I sadly cannot recall my source, and so I would not add him immediately, but he is known to have written a book comprised of poety inspired by Anarchism, as well as to have composed music intended to be "non-heriarchial" in the sense that there were no dominent instruments/performers;) Grant Morrison, an author who wrote The Invisibles which explored anarchist themes and featured multiple anarchist characters; and Bob Black, an author and lawyer, (I noticed that your list lacked anyone in the "politics and law" section, and while he might be best placed in the authors section, I thought to suggest him. He is also a highly controversial figure, but I do not doubt he is a self-identified anarchist;) and lastly, Shusui Kotoku, Sakae Osugi, and Noe Ito, all three important japanese authors and publishers.

I hope your project continues steadily, that these additions will help along this long process, and that you will eventually be able to restore this list. Until then, you have my thanks for your efforts. --Cast 07:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I am also of the mind that a recreated list, should it be a large improvement over a deleted original, should be preserved. I feel that your list qualifies for this in several respects. Once this project has neared completion, I suggest contacting other editors who would be interested in preserving it and asking them to argue in its favor should problems arise.
I am also glad that you are not possessive of the article, but I would still defer to your opinion, as you clearly have an idea of what direction you wish to take the process in, and I respect that. I will however continue to make sourced suggestions in the future and hope it will prove fruitful. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with your first request, as I am utterly unfamiliar with most film makers, but should I hear of one which matches your description, I'll alert you immediately. I'll also take note of your recovered list and make use of it in my future suggestions. For ease of use, I would advise striking out any from that list once they have been sourced and added to the sandboxed version. This will become increasingly important as the project progresses.
I can see your point regarding musicians, and would suggest a compromise: the include a subsection listed as Musicians, which would provide a link redirecting the reader to the main article, the list of anarchist musicians. This will make searching for such people more user friendly. I would also suggest the inclusion of a Military subsection, for anarchists who are well known for their work during militant anarchist uprisings, such as Nestor Makhno, Buenaventura Durruti, Francisco Sabaté Llopart, and Kim Jwa-jin
At any rate, I'll make an effort to aid you in the future as best I can, though this cannot be my top priority (I am currently making an effort to improve Osugi's article,) and will certainly encourage the preservation of this list once it is properly uploaded.
And finally, thank you for noting my efforts on the Anarky article. What can I say? Anything for a fictional comrade! --Cast 18:03, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
(PS - I only just noticed that your list does include a link to the list of anarchist musicians, and so I retract my suggestion that it be included. --Cast 18:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC))
Hey, the list is looking good, feel free to ask for help with it! Murderbike 06:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey, SwitChar. I'm sure you've noticed that I've been editing the List of Anarchists. I was just doing a little more editing to it today when I thought to suggest a new section for Former Anarchists, as there are two of people in the list of self-identified anarchists who later declared themselves to have retired, given up, or moved on from the anarchic cause. These include Kanson Arahata and Murray Bookchin. At the moment they are the only ones on the list I know to have stopped being anarchists, but it could come up more as the list grows in the future.--Cast 00:50, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Futurama and citing commentaries

Hey SwitChar, I saw your recent note at Talk:Futurama and thought I'd see if you were aware of my current project at WikiProject Futurama (see [Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Futurama#Episode article organization-revisited|here]]). As I only own season four I could use some help getting production information from the various episode commentaries, I can do it myself someday but not before the articles come up for review next weekend. If you're going to watch the episodes anyway please keep the episode pages in mind as well and consider stopping by the review page when it comes up. Thanks for your time! Stardust8212 21:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan, I'll work on season four for now then and hold onto my notes for future reference as well. Stardust8212 03:51, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citation for 30th Century Fox logo

WikiThanks

Thanks for doing the proper research. I was going to do it myself, in order the article could keep the image, but that would have been long and tedious on my part, going through all those commentaries. Thank you! - ТģØ(Đ {ŧª∫Қ ↑¤ Мә} 22:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Emo (slang) Suggested Move

Hi.

There is currently a discussion at Talk:Emo (slang) reagarding a suggested move to Emo subculture. In an effort to generate a greater consensus, I am attempting to contact any user involved in similar discussions previously on the article's talk page.

[edit] "List of anarchists"

I think what you have so far is rad but I have minimal time to dedicate to Wikipedia anymore other than when I'm drunk and about to go to sleep. But I mean, I see some obvious names to add and all so if it goes up give me a message and I'll spend a half hour or so on it. --Tothebarricades 03:36, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey there

Got a couple things for ya. I've started working on Anarchism in Cuba in my sandbox and wanted to see if you'd care to give me any thoughts, advice, editting, whatever. I've just started it, but will hopefully be plugging away at it this week. As well, I know Australia's a big country and all, but do you happen to know Scum System Kill? Cheers! Murderbike 19:12, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, Mutiny's accordion player is the only male member of Scum System Kill. I just asked 'cause we just played with 'em stateside, buddies from the other side of the world. It does seem like Melbourne has a good scene, Pisschrist and whatnot. Anyway, whatever you can contribute to the Cuban article would be great. Cheers! Murderbike 19:22, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

Hello. Nontheism and List of nontheists have been nominated for deletion. As an editor of one or both of these articles, I thought you should know. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of nontheists. Thanks. Nick Graves 19:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Complete Discography Minor Threat.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Complete Discography Minor Threat.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:40, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Futurama Roll Call

If you are still interested in working on Futurama related tasks please visit the wikiproject page to see how you can help. If you have time please also join in the recent discussions on the talk page, in particular I would personally appreciate comments on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Futurama#A new proposal for episode articles. Thank you for your time, hopefully I didn't annoy you too much. If you would not like to receive messages such as this in the future then consider removing yourself from Wikipedia:WikiProject Futurama/List of participants. Happy editing.

[edit] Green Arrow anarchist

I could not help but notice how you put Green Arrow back into the fictional anarchists category. I'm not saying that Green Arrow is not an anarchist, but I don't see anything in the article that says that he is an anarchist. You've made a very nice justification for him being an anarchist in your edit summary and you even supplied a source, but I think you should be aware that edit summaries do not count. No one will read your edit summary after a few weeks or even a few days the next time GA is taken out of the the fictional anarchists category. The only thing your edit summary prevents is an immediate revert. Unless you are prepared to back up your claim that he is an anarchist with a real article edit including your source, there isn't much point in trying to put the GA article in that category because it won't stick there. -- Lilwik 09:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I've made the appropriate edit. I hope this will settle the matter. I suggest that at some point in the future, the Publication history section should include a subsection which directly addressed the political interpretations of Green Arrow. In this section, it can be explained for readers that the character was originally apolitical, then became a radical leftist (being described by O'Neil as an anarchist, though I still question if he has used the term incorrectly,) and that the character has steadily become more mainstream and has been portrayed as a mayor. A reference to the guest appearance of Anarky can be made for further effect. Perhaps this documentary can be of some use: Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked. Take special note of minute 3:18 of the clip. We get a small reference to "anarchists", though it is a term used pejoratively.--Cast 04:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Did you know that you don't exist? The Panhandlers Union article has been deleted by Wikipedia administorator Blnguyen with the comment, "The result was Delete. socks ignored."

From the beginning I've suspected that this guy is another sock of RJII/Anarcho-capitalism. And he's proving my hypothesis right in the Talk section for Benjamin Tucker. Check out his comments in the "scientific socialism" part of the talk page. And check out his comments on the main Anarchism Talk page. Full Shunyata 05:59, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Space Pilot 3000 Good article nomination

Hi, I'm not sure how active you are right now but I have nominated Space Pilot 3000 for GA status and it is on hold for review. Since you were previously interested in Futurama episode articles I was hoping you'd take a moment to read the concerns on the talk page and see if you could make any improvements to the article. Thanks. Stardust8212 17:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anarchism task force

Greetings, SwitChar. You're a very active wikipedian, and have made substantial contributions in the way of images, so I hope you'll be interested in this invitation. I'd like to invite you to participate in the creation of a task force for anarchist related articles. The article is currently under construction here. The process of setting up an infrastructure is underway, and even if you can't participate in its creation, I hope you'll be willing to join.--Cast (talk) 22:12, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

And we've gone live here. Hope you'll join us! Murderbike (talk) 00:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ballarat

Just found your comments on RATM's discussion page, i'm a huge fan, and was quite surprised to see that you live in Ballarat also. I'm in Buninyong. Hope you're going to see them this summer!

[edit] Anarky

Greetings SwitChar. I hope this message finds you well. I would like to ask you for your opinion, and a favor as well. I ask you because you've shown an interest in Anarky in the past, and most of the Wikiproject: Comic administrators who oversaw the GA nomination for the character are not currently involved in wikipedia related activity. I admit, I know of no one else to turn to.

A few weeks ago I finally decided to add Anarky, the only fictional anarchist in a mainstream comic corporation, into the Anarchism Task Force jurisdiction. I figured it was acceptable, being a fictional anarchist listed in the respective list, and as the trade paperback, Batman: Anarky, is categorized as anarchist fiction. Today, I also finally decided to add the anarchism template to the subsection on political and philosophical themes. I had previously been against it, since Anarky isn't directly connected to any of the sub topics of the navigation bar, and only barely connected to the Lists section. Well, after a few hours, I thought better of it and removed it. It's been only a few minutes, but now I'm questioning the move again. What is your opinion? You may check the recent history of the article to view it as it appeared.

On the matter of the favor I would ask: as I mentioned, most of the administrators who over saw the GA nomination process of the article are currently MIA, and I have been waiting for nearly a year to get a Peer Review, so I can complete the process of nominating it for FA status. As you are familiar with the character's publication history and the philosophy he originally represented, I would like to ask you to examine it and provide me with a peer review. I would think multiple reviews would be preferable, but after a year I'll take any small number I can get. I'll make further requests amongst the comic task forces, but as I mentioned, I felt you would be well suited to this given your knowledge of the subject. If you can assist me in these matters, I would appreciate it and do invite you to take your time. Although I am weary of waiting longer for a peer review, I remain ever patient.--Cast (talk) 10:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Futurama episodes reviewed for WP:EPISODE compliance

Hey Switch, I wanted to let you know that the Futurama episode articles are going to be reviewed to determine how they they compare to the various policies and guidelines including WP:NOT#PLOT, WP:NOTE, WP:FICT and WP:EPISODE. Episode articles found to be lacking will likely be redirected. Since you are a member of WikiProject Futurama I was hoping you would contribute to the discussion. The discussion is located at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Futurama#Status of the episodes?. Thanks for your inputs. Stardust8212 03:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Got nothing to do?

Hey, so I'm under the impression that you have some experience with creating images and what not, and we're working are butts off trying to improve Confederación Nacional del Trabajo. Thing is, there's a map next to a big list of places in this section, that we think should be condensed, similar to the one in this section. Do you have the skills and motivation for this job? Hope you're doing well! Murderbike (talk) 20:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh yeah, you can look at the relevant discussion here. Cheers! Murderbike (talk) 20:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Enjoyed your user page ... mostly

Part 1: Tip of the beret.

Impressive, very interesting page. And thanks for posting the vandal activity; that gave me a nice chuckle.

I have an theory about that puzzling message in the second log. (LISTEN TO HOUSE YOUR FAGGOT) I think your friend was a bit lazy and omitted his punctuation. Based on your profile, he figured you could unravel his brief note without it.

Filling in the gaps with my best guess: The user took extreme umbrage at your musical tastes, and that provoked him to vandalism. Yet, at the same time, this gay man is intrigued by you, and confesses that he has a bit of a crush. So he might have written it:

Listen to House!
- your faggot

Part 2: Wag of the finger.

One of your Userboxes rather irks me. Well, I guess it's not really yours. So never mind. I went to the template's source to comment.

[edit] Political Dweeb's question

This is User: Political dweeb here and I'm responsible I think for creating this article on Communism and religion. The reason I created this article was to ask a question. It was that do any of the political parties, movements, organisations etc that believe in the communist ideologies called Leninism, Trotskyism, left communism, Marxism-Leninism and council communism believe in either of the two political positions on atheism?

These two political positions I am talking about are either making sure that religion is apart from the state and society or that it is necessary for the world to exist without all of its religions.

I hope what I have said is suitable and apart from the questions I've asked above if there's any other questions anyone wants to ask me on this subject please talk to me on this discussion page or on my talk page thank you.
