Re: "This makes no sense. Butters is blond"

I'm confused about this comment; the section is about Timmy's parents, yet you refer to Butters.
Clarification?

N

Greetings, kindly read the last line of the "Meanings of N" here on the article about the letter. Thanks. (→Netscott) 10:33, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the link to the letter N. I have read the article. I think you have misunderstood the note in the article for With Apologies to Jesse Jackson. In that show, Randy Marsh is a contestant on Wheel Of Fortune. He is given 5 free letters to use in solving the puzzle, RTSLE. However, on the real Wheel Of Fortune, contestants are given 6 letters, RSTLNE. This is a valid, noteworthy difference betwen the real show and the one portrayed on South Park. The usage on N as a replacement for the word "and" does not really apply in this case. Captain Infinity 10:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your helpful response. Obviously I wasn't that familiar with that aspect of Wheel of Forturne. Cheers. (→Netscott) 12:24, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: I'm curious

Hi^^

sorry but I dont remember changing the simpsons pages I only changed a few of the family guy pages. There isn't anything about simpsons in my contributions.

WELL

While I watch the episode I organize the references to appearance in the episode and I add references that are missing. Sometimes I correct things that are wrong.

...

but I was a bit confused by the FDR thingy...I dont know why it has been deleted from the cultural references. A lot of people have been mentioned in FG but what is the difference? It wasn't that bad^^.

The Simpsons Plot

I cut it down so that is could be rebuilt, it was full of digressions and quotes, and spoilers, I was trying to get it back under 700 words as it was over 1300! I appreciate the copyedits, I was trying to keep the essential points, but obviously it read fine in my head, nice to get a second opinion on it. Darrenhusted 00:58, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Reply: Fiction refs

As the tag clearly states: Mere trivia, or references unimportant to the overall plot of a work of fiction, should be deleted. The articles need cleanup. Trivial sections need to be condensed (and in some cases, just eliminated), as Wikipedia isn't a trivia guide. RobJ1981 01:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Well I don't always have the time, and I'm not always an expert on the subject to be able to just instantly fix the problem. Many maintenance tags are noticed by people, so clean up does happen. A lot of the time, it takes a while (from what I've seen), but frankly... pointing out the problem does work. RobJ1981 02:18, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Reperfusion

Hi! The link to MSNBC [1] on the Reperfusion page is redirecting to http://www.newsweek.com. Not sure why or how the correct link can be found, perhaps you can help? Thanks! Captain Infinity 16:30, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

• The link has been moved to the Newsweek site, so I have fixed the link to still point to the original article. But I see no sense in the Reperfusion page and I have suggested a merger with Reperfusion injury. -- Ben Best 19:35, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Who/how to report vandalism?

Hi! I am very impressed with your ClueBot. I logged in to #wikipedia-VAN to watch it in action, it's cool. I often revert vandalism myself on the pages on my watchlist, and sometimes I check the vandal's contributions page to see if he/she has been messing with other pages. I often find multiple incidences of vandalism by these users, and while I can revert their changes, I have no idea to whom I can report their actions or how to go about it. Can you provide any pointers? Thanks! Captain Infinity 15:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

(replying for him) See WP:UTM for templates with which to warn vandals -- start from level 1 and work your way up to level 4 -- and once they surpass a level 4 warning, report them at WP:AIV. Good luck! Gscshoyru 15:22, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Because it's not a cultural reference, it's a minor one sentence mention of someones name. We usually don't mention references like that, for example, why aren't Dennis Kucinich or Fred Thompson mentioned? Because these sections are discouraged (even the sourced ones have detractors), we try to limit them to large parodies and songs. And yes, I realize other pages have references like that, and my response is point them out and I'll clean them up. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop.

The episodes of SOuth Park which were redirected are not notable enough for Wikipedia. They are comprised mainly of plot, and have only one or two paragraphs of real-world information, if any. Stop doing this, or else I will report you for starting an edit war. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 00:24, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I am not a vandal. User:TTN does the same thing, and while fans of shows don't usually like him, among those who are more concerned with the health of the encyclopedia, he is a very respected user. Those episodes don't have enough real-world information for Wikipedia. The information is not gone, though. I have transferred the contents of the articles to South Park Wiki, because any information on South Park is welcome there. Soon infoboxes and the images from the articles will be placed there as well. Why fight to keep the information in an environment where it is not welcome? Believe me, my best wishes for all those user's writing is at interest. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 00:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid TTN and Wilhelmina's edits fall well within WP:NOTE. The Episode articles in question fail to assert notability and because of this they are subject to either being redirected or deleted. -- bulletproof ^3:16 00:53, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Chill

Screaming vandalism at a good-faith editor doesn't help your cause. Leaving level-4 warnings on her talk page sure doesn't help, because I don't think you will find an admin that will block her. The articles she is redirecting don't have any real-world information, and don't meet standards for Wikipedia articles. That said, I left a note on her talk page advising her to slow down, and put cleanup tags on the articles first. Someone really does need to repair the articles, though, or they will become redirects. It's inevitable.Kww (talk) 01:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Please listen to me

I have already told you, and now so have many others. The eight episode articles I have redirected are not notable enough to be in Wikipedia. To be a notable episode of a series, there has to be as much space taken up on real world information about the episode as there is plot given, or even more. I will not redirect an episode which has sufficient outside information available. That having been said, most of the information should also have references provided to reliable third party sources.

I have also told you that I did not allow the work of the users who constructed those pages to be in vain. None of those episodes had articles in South Park Wiki, the wikia dedicated solely to information on South Park. I thought, at the same time as I redirect the pages here, I might as well create articles for them there, and then relocate the information to those new articles.

After you have read through my every word here, I have this to ask you: Why do you want the articles for those episodes to remain here - where they are cited as "trivial", and would end up being redirected by other users eventually anyway (and not all of them might be willing to put in the effort to transfer the articles to the South Park Wiki) - when they could really flourish, and be read, admired, and learned from by readers in South Park Wiki? We need the information there, and it's not needed or wanted here. I promise you and all the users who created the articles here in the first place, their work will not be in vain. It will be transferred over to the wikia, redirected from here, and it will be much more respected over there. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 03:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

What on earth are you doing?

Wendy Testaburger's article was merged early in 2007 because of a discussion. She can not be brought back unil her notability is established to that degree. And even if you are going to try to revive her article, do not revert TTN's reverts to what the other IP address did. I already explained to them that using South Park Wiki's information on Wendy is technically stealing the information from the Wikia. Besides, Wikipedia's articles on South Park don't deserve to be as good as the information given in South Park Wiki. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:01, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop stalking me. Thank you. Captain Infinity (talk) 02:19, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not stalking you. That page, as well as over 325 others, just happens to be on my watchlist, and you just happen to frequently edit a lot of my watched pages. No stalkery at all. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Fine. Understand, then, that I am a part of the South Park Wikiproject, and watch just about every SP article. My edit was reverted by TTN, and he explained why in his summary. That was enough for me and I considered the case closed, and I made no further action to revive the article. I fail to understand, then, why you need to pop onto my talk page with a borderline insulting question written in an arrogant tone. "What on Earth are you doing?" is not a question conducive to a civil response; its tone is combative. I do not wish to engage in a confrontation with you. It may be best if we both try to keep out of each other's faces. What do you say? Captain Infinity (talk) 02:45, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Fine with me, but before I go, I want the last word/s: I am sorry if you felt offended, but I did not realize you had quit reverting TTN's edits; you had been so adamant with the episodes I tried to redirect, after all. (Pauses for effect) And I don't really hold taste for that Wikiproject in particular; as I have said, Wikipedia's info on the show does not deserve to be as good as all of the information in South Park Wiki. So this is a bye-bye, and unless the appropriate circumstances arise, you leave me alone and I leave you alone. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:52, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but you'll need to send another message if you want the last word. You have said, and I quote, "Wikipedia's articles on South Park don't deserve to be as good as the information given in South Park Wiki." I find this attitude towards Wikipedia offensive, and indicative that you have an agenda to disrupt and damage Wikipedia's South Park articles in an attempt to make the South Park wiki "better" somehow. Perhaps you should concentrate more on developing the South Park wiki and less on removing content from Wikipedia. Both can exist on the same internet, you know. Peace, out.

Working on redirected articles

Great! It's a few steps.

Step 1: Enter the name of the article that was redirected. I've set up a test redirect to show you.. it's User:SirFozzie/sandbox.

Step 2: That will take you from the redirected page to where it got redirected to (in this case, User:SirFozzie). There's a note at the very top of the page that you were redirected. Click that link. (in this case, redirected from User:SirFozzie/sandbox

Step 3: You'll be back to the original page that you tried to get to, and the only content will be a Redirect message.

Step 4: Go to the history tab, all the revisions prior to the redirect should be available. You can choose one to edit and copy. I suggest that you make a sandbox page of your own (I can help you with that if you want), copy it over to your sandbox page, and work on it in user space.

Step 5: Then, if and when it's ready, you can just copy it back (but please, don't do so until it complies with WP policies.. I suggest that you ask an admin or someone similar to look it over before you do so, that way we can make sure your work doesn't disappear underneath another redirect if it doesn't qualify under our guidelines :)

Ok, that's basically it. If you have any further questions, I'd be glad to answer them for you. SirFozzie (talk) 14:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Wiki Navbar

Thank you for the Wiki Navbar, it is very useful. I'm a bit confused about UserPages -> My Tools -> Edit Counter. It brings me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Interiot/Tool2/code.js which I don't understand at all, sorry. Can you help. Thanks! Captain Infinity (talk) 18:41, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I haven't updated the navbar in quite a while ... I really should, since a lot of the links are probably deprecated by now. One of these days I'll get around to it.

I wrote the code for the navbar back when Interiot's Tool2 was the most commonly-used edit counter on Wikipedia, so most people had it installed in their .js files. If you don't know what a .js file is, don't worry about it. (For the record, it's what allows you to use things such as Twinkle.) A large portion of users don't ever use them, or even know that they're there.

Tool2 is no longer really the standard edit counter anymore. Some people have gone back to Kate's Tool, and some (including RfA) have moved on to Interiot's Tool3. Neither one of those involves .js files -- they just open in a new browser tab/window, you punch in the name, and presto. All of this, of course, can be found at WP:KATE.

So, long story short, you have two options. If you're comfortable with changing the navbar html document yourself, simply delete the line that says

<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Interiot/Tool2/code.js">Edit Counter</a></li>

and replace it with

<li><a href="http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/count_edits">Edit Counter</a></li>

or, if you're not comfortable doing that, ignore the edit count button and sit tight until I update the code.

Let me know if you have any questions.

RE: Userbox

While the American Animation Wikiproject does indeed have a userbox, I'm surprised that I couldn't find a simple template for it at Wikipedia:Userboxes/WikiProjects. Perhaps I overlooked it or something? In any case, I found no template for the userbox at my userpage, either. Oh well. . . — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 17:32, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Glad you found a way to make the userbox work. On my userpage, it screwed up my userbox list, too, but I didn't really think of it as that important. And, since I don't think anybody's done this yet, welcome to the Wikiproject. — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 17:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Unsolicited advice: Copy the code to a subpage of your userpage, say, User:Captain Infiniy/Anim, then transclude that page with {{User:Captain Infinity/Anim}} into your userbox list.

It was "overdue"?

What was that supposed to mean? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 19:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

What did you mean when you said that it was overdue? And weren't we supposed to be on avoiding terms? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 23:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I meant that you've been naughty, and it was just a matter of time until you got spanked. What you seem to fail to realize is that your fellow editors are human beings just like you, with feelings and a desire to be appreciated. Your edits which damage the encyclopedia are easy to fix, but when you use cruel words to provoke or threaten your fellow editors you do damage which cannot be remedied. Perhaps you are too young to realize it (or perhaps you do realize it yet are indifferent) but words have power. In either case, you need to become more aware of how your words affect your peers, and try to work alongside them instead of in opposition to them. Captain Infinity (talk) 23:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay then, I usually would call them colleagues, but peers works well enough. However, you did say you and I were to avoid each other, and unless I've misguided myself again, to say that it was overdue when you and I agreed not to interact for some time seems a little hypocritical. But it might just be me. Anyway, I'll bid you good day then, and return to my fulfillments. There are a lot of citations I must fetch for things. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Need some help

{{helpme}} Question: how do I tag an article that has a section that appears to be a copyright violation? I've seen tags that alert admins so that entire pages are deleted, but I don't think this page deserves deletion, just removal of the copyvio. The page in question is Worlds Apart (The Outer Limits) and the section I have concerns with is "Plot", which appears to have been copied from TV.com, although the possibility exists that they got their text from Wikipedia. --Captain Infinity (talk) 20:19, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Captain Infinity. You can report a violation at Wikipedia:Copyright violations and follow instructions. You seem to have pretty good evidence which you'll need to complete the request. Thanks, PeterSymonds | talk 20:47, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• Being that it is not the whole article you can feel free to delete it or edit it to make it meet the standards. Feel free to rework the plot section so that it is not a violation. If you do not feel comfortable doing that you may delete the section yourself. Just make sure you put a clear edit summary note that explains why it was deleted/changed.

Thanks guys. Captain Infinity (talk) 20:56, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Well I like that!

I don't know how to say this without sounding like I've snapped, but it seems like you're mighty selective. When you revert Goldfishsoldier's edits to Stan Marsh's article, you merely say that he removed too much info without even providing a summary. When I did the same thing way back, you went so far as to call it vandalism. I might be missing a connection between these, or why the cases are different, but I ain't seeing it. Is it that you merely have a problem with women? Is it that you thought about it, and decided what you said was too harsh? If not, I think WP:AGF is calling to you. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 05:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Whenever I revert vandalism, I also inspect the editors contribs list for edits made to other pages and, if they've vandalized them, I revert those, too. Back when I first noticed you, your edits at the time showed a deliberate march through a dozen or so South Park pages, deleting content throughout, without any notice whatsoever on the talk pages of any of them that you were going to do so. That's vandalism, in my book. When Goldfishsoldier made his edit it was to a single page, and he had left a notice on the talk page about it. That's a bold edit. I disagreed with his edit, and reverted it, with a notice that it was too much content to remove without discussion. I have no problem with women nor with bold editing if it is discussed with other editors. By the way, you did a fine job on the re-write of Stan Marsh after my revert. Now scram.  ;-) --Captain Infinity (talk) 18:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey uh, thanks.

For defending me; I'm really humbled by that. It's good to know someone believes in me. And I'm sorry that my behaviour has made such a bad impression on you; I really can be quite civil to others, but under tense circumstances, as you may have noticed, I wig out. Ever since that incident in February (please let's not speak of it) I have been trying to better my behaviour, and I really expected myself to recover from it immediately. But I turned out to be one of those sorts of people for whom relapses are inevitable at first.

I guess if I'm ever going to clear myself for those episode redirects in January, now's the time for it:

"At the time, I wanted to save time and convenience with creating the episode pages for the missing episodes in South Park Wiki. I thought back to how User:TTN would simply redirect or merge an eps. article of a show, of which the episode wasn't particularly "notable". I actually always considered it ridiculous, myself, but using me head and not my heart, I decided to take this policy to my own advantage. I left out the episodes which seemed notable enough for Wikipedia, in my drive, but those which were basically all plot, I redirected and transferred their info to South Park Wiki. However, you and several other editors reverted that, and at least you said it was vandalism. I had never meant to hurt Wikipedia, as you saw it, just to follow the episode criteria somewhat, and help the wikia to benefit from it. It wasn't vandalism by intention, and I don't like being called a vandalizer when I'm not. And so that's how our personal feud started, though I don't remember all that happened after that."

That instance, what you said after the "Feb. Incident" occurred, and what you said about my removal of content in Stan's article, in contrast to your reaction to similar edits by Goldfishsoldier, caused me to dislike you immensely, as my atrocious behaviour (which I see now for what it was) caused you to dislike me. It's hard to see the good sides of people you are annoyed or even angered with, but it's usually there. I know, from our discussions, and from (yes, it's more of my trademark nosiness, but) observing a few of your contributions (mainly your reverts of real vandals) that you are an honest and hard-working editor, who would never call someone a vandal without good reason, or what you believed was good reason.

I have high doubts that you'll ever forgive me for the way I've behaved to you in the past, but I want you to know that my dislike of you has long-since dissipated with understanding. And I am glad that you defended me as well. I don't expect us to become friends, but I hope to be on peace terms with you now. Have a good day, I hope.

Watchmen userbox

Hey, I was snooping around Scepia's talk page and I noticed you wrote

“ I hope you don't mind, but I modified your Watchmen userbox a little bit for use on my userpage. The result is here: {{User:Captain Infinity/Watchmen}}. I primarily wanted to set a bg color that would allow the WL to show a bit better, and while I was working on it I changed the text size and content. Hope I haven't stepped on any toes. Captain Infinity (talk) 03:32, 1 March 2008 (UTC) ”

I just thought I should let you know that you don't have to worry about shamelessly pilfering userboxen and modifying them to suit your tastes, since everything on Wikipedia is covered by the GNU Free Documentation license and therefore can be freely modified by anyone without fear of toe-stepping (most of my userboxen were created this way). Anyways, happy userboxing. xenocidic (talk) 14:19, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. Maybe you can help me with something else related. I have an image that I would like to use in a new Userbox but have no idea where or how to upload it. Thanks in advance. Captain Infinity (talk) 00:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't notice your message. In order to upload a file you can go to Wikipedia:Upload. However do you have the appropriate ownership rights to upload this file? xenocidic (talk) 17:57, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. Yes to your question; I created the pic myself and have no problem releasing it into the public domain. Captain Infinity (talk) 23:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Archives

First of all, how am I vandalizing? Second of all, if you see here under the archive links, the archive is linked where the "talkheader" is in, example: Talk:Randy Orton. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:57, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

What are you talking about? The archive links are already in the "talkheader" template. I know that you undid my edits, but what about those other articles? Ex: Justin Timberlake, Coldplay, Kanye West, SummerSlam (2007), and Pixar? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:12, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Think Blue is not vandalizing talk pages. The archives are listed in the talk header automatically now, so there is no point in them being listed twice. It takes up extra space. Nikki311 00:43, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, I see what you are saying, sorry for the confusion. However, what you say about the link being in the talk header is not the case for Kenny McCormick's talk page, where the sole link to the archive was deleted. --Captain Infinity (talk) 20:14, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Well duh, I removed the archive and added the "talkheader" to the talkpage and well my edit was undone. See here. Preview it, though. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:20, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see, and I apologize. I think part of the confusion may stem from your Edit summaries: "Removing archive". It is not immediately apparent that the link is being moved to the talk page header, it looks at first glance to just be complete removal. I will be reversing my reverts of your previous edits, and I apologize again for the accusation of vandalism. --Captain Infinity (talk) 21:38, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, its true about me saying "removing archives" in the edit summary, but that's really what I'm doing, removing the archive box. Anyways, you'll be happy to know that I did the same with Kyle's talkpage. Maybe not. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:41, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Kenny's talk page seems to be in order now, and I'm glad all of this was worked out. :) Happy editing! Nikki311 21:21, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

List of Troy's films

Before creating such an article, please note that since it would be based entirely on quotations it would be a violation of WP:QUOTE, which is why the List of chalkboard gags was recently deleted. And please do not create a list of Bart's pranks until after the business with Homer's jobs as been settled. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Copyright problems

Hi. I'm working tickets at the copyright problems board, and I came upon your entry from Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2008 August 4/Articles. First, thanks for pointing that out. :) But I wanted to let you know that this board is probably not a good place to take emergency issues. Tickets are listed there for 7 days before examination by an administrator. If you are having an urgent issue or question regarding copyright problems, you might report it at WT:C for quicker response. In that particular case, you might even have wanted to bring it up at WP:ANI to immediate admin attention.

In any event, I'll go take a look and see if there's any clean up work left on it at this point. :) Thanks again for pointing it out. Sorry you didn't get quicker assistance! --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:40, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. --Captain Infinity (talk) 22:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Font Question

I use Blackletter. Sometimes it comes up as unloadable / unrecognizable, though.. Hopefully, this isn't why you're asking. Frankly, it's unrecognizable to me, this evening, for no apparant reason; ISP problems, or lag, I hope. 𝕭𝖗𝔦𝔞𝔫𝕶𝔫𝔢𝔷 ^talk 02:12, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Just out of sheer curiosity, considering myself a fairly low-profile user (perhaps erroneously), Where did you see me? 𝕭𝖗𝔦𝔞𝔫𝕶𝔫𝔢𝔷 ^talk 03:28, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I have Eric Cartman on my watchlist. Today it was vandalized by User:70.44.14.180. I went to his talk page and saw your sig there on a warning for a different vandalization. --Captain Infinity (talk) 04:17, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Persistant vandal, eh?

Since I'm a persistant vandal, I suggest, no, I insist that you report me here or here. Since I am apparently so persistant, it means I need to be stopped, right? So report me and get me banned. If you do not report me, then I will report you for a WP:NPA violation.

Anyway, the trivia you are adding is overdetailing and unsourced stuff and per WP:MERGE, only sourced content should be merged. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:26, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

ROFL!

Thanks, I do my best. KnightLago (talk) 18:55, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Incessant vandalism accusation

I'd rather not go through the tedium of getting administrative intervention in this matter. Let's just stop this now. 144.96.26.167 (talk) 07:24, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

When I seen an anon IP deleting 80% of an article, that's vandalism. Register an account and you might be taken a bit more seriously. --Captain Infinity (talk) 20:34, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I've told you I'm registered. And showed you. You are just seeking any avenue you can to have erroneous edits placed on the article. Cease this nonsense. ♣ Klptyzm ^{Chat wit' me § Contributions} ♣ 03:49, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I do not check the pedigree of an anon IP before I revert the vandalism they cause. I realize you think you OWN the article, but there are a lot of hard-working editors who have contributed to it, and nothing you are deleting is "erroneous". --Captain Infinity (talk) 10:28, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I also realize that you like ignoring policy. And just because people work hard on something doesn't mean it's supposed to be done. I'm sure Nazis worked hard on eliminating Jews. That doesn't make it right. 144.96.26.167 (talk) 16:16, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Nice. You're comparing me to Nazi's now? I should report you for WP:NPA. But frankly I WP:DGAF about you, your opinions, or your edits. Go bully someone who thinks you are worth listening to. --Captain Infinity (talk) 17:13, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

That was hardly a personal attack. If that was a personal attack, then your DGAF is one too. This matter wouldn't have grown to this magnitude if you exhibited the sense needed to realize that that plot section is of ridiculous magnitude. Nah, you just want to keep unnecessary reverting though. Also, it doesn't make a great deal of sense to keep reverting when you won't even cite policy that supports your edits. If you did that, I would have taken you more seriously, especially considering that policy is on my side. I await your next incorrect assessment about the motives for my actions. 144.96.26.167 (talk) 18:40, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

Hi, Captain Infinity!

Thank you for your clear position at The Outer Limits talk page. Unfortunately, it is not an end, and this User recently was warned again [2] [3] (I think, you must know it).

Happy Holidays and best wishes in the New Year! Krasss (talk) 05:32, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I actually was not aware of it; I thought he had backed off after the second debate. I hope to try some cleanup on the articles later this week. By the way, just an aside, I think your language in your warning on his talk page was a bit too confrontational. Rather than deter him, it probably just got his defenses up and made him more determined. But I admire your passion. Thanks again. --Captain Infinity (talk) 15:21, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Galaxy Being

Hello, Captain Infinity. You have new messages at Star Mississippi's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Thank you

WikiThanks

Captain, thanks for taking the time to comment on WT:Notability_(fiction)#Final_adoption_as_a_guideline. I am glad you see how important this guideline will be, since it will determine the inclusion or exclusion of television character and television episodes. Thank you. Ikip (talk) 10:42, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Side note: you may be interested in WP:ARS.

I see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Galaxy Being above.

I worked with several editors to keep Outerlimits episodes, and created one of my own A_New_Life_(The_Outer_Limits). I am currently trying to save Stargate SG-1 episodes from merging and Frasier episodes. But this all took a backburner to this very important RfC. Ikip (talk) 12:12, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

You maybe interested in the Article Rescue Squadron

Article Rescue Squadron

I notice that you are part of Category:Inclusionist_Wikipedians. I would like you to consider joining the Article Rescue Squadron. Rescue Squadron members are focused on rescuing articles for deletion, that might otherwise be lost forever. I think you will find our project matches your vision of Wikipedia.

Ikip (talk) 00:50, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Can you clarify?

Hi Captain, So we've been going back and forth on the Mr. Bubble page, and I guess I'd like your help if possible. I am not trying to advertise or appear biased, I just want to get the most current information up. I've never used wikipedia before this (which I'm sure you've noticed...)so I guess I'm still getting used to the guidelines. As far as the T-shirt thing goes, I have no problem with it being removed, and I wasn't trying to advertise. The reason I put it into the article was because a lot of consumers don't know if the offer is still valid since the companies switched. Can I put anything about it up without it being an ad? Maybe just that it is still valid and to see the bottle? Anyway, I'd appreciate any guidance. Thanks! Jmthomas651 (talk) 18:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Family Gay

Hi. So, like me, you've been here a while and have probably noticed that 999 times out of 1000 when an anon IP makes an edit with even the remotest connection to homosexuality it's almost certainly vandalism, so that when an anon changes the name of a gay character in an animated sitcom whose principal audience is adolescent boys, the odds of it being a legit edit are so astronomically low that if an editor guesses wrongly, he might be given the benefit of the doubt and just be politely reverted -- minus, in other words, the snarky tone. --Rrburke^(talk) 02:47, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I apologize for my tone. It just irked me that it was clear you had not even watched the episode in question. --Captain Infinity (talk) 03:00, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

F'd in the A

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing at You Got F'd in the A. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. 87.69.176.81 (talk) 11:22, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

I've reverted you three times over the course of three days. That's not even remotely close to 3RR and you know it. Please stop your games, and please stop adding OR to the article. --Captain Infinity (talk) 20:20, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

The template was the next step in trying to stop an edit war. As for your allegation, this is not OR by a long shot. This is a commonly known contraction. I have no idea of what "games" you are talking, but I am urging you to at least try and wp:assume good faith. Thank you. 87.69.176.81 (talk) 07:00, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

By "games" I mean that you are a drama queen. All of your edits, adding vulgarities to an episode article when the creators have gone out of their way to avoid using them, adding notes to a journalist's page that compare her to feces, multiple reports across incident boards, all of them are efforts to create Wikidrama. You're just trying to stir up trouble. With luck an admin will block you soon. Please stay off my talk page; your kind of crap is not wanted here. Any future additions to this page will be deleted summarily. --Captain Infinity (talk) 11:38, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

With luck, I have blocked this IP for a week. I have also reverted a threatening comment the IP left you. It is here if you want to see it[4]. Chillum 20:21, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. --Captain Infinity (talk) 23:30, 2 May 2009 (UTC0

ANI notification

FYI, there's a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Extreme_personal_attack_and_generally_intolerable_behavior where your editing has come up. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the notification. I'll keep an eye on it. Other than being mentioned in passing I don't see anything that calls out for my participation just yet, but if I'm asked anything or feel the need to clarify my edits I will, of course, jump in. Thanks again. --Captain Infinity (talk) 20:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Ironic?

Was this posting meant to be ironic? Or was it a serious criticism? Either way it is fine, I just want to make sure I address any and all sincere grievances about that article. Chillum 16:08, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

SP Wikiproject

'ello. I was just curious as to why you think the Project has "gone to hell". In the recent months, 10-related SP articles have been promoted to GA, two to FA, and two more look like they've got GA passes coming their way. If the merger proposals were the "final straw", I'd honestly want to hear your input as to why (preferably on a merger proposal's respective discussion), that is, if you still care to give it. If not, no biggie. Thanks. - SoSaysChappy (talk) 02:42, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

To our newest Rollbacker

I have just granted you rollback rights because I believe you to be trustworthy, and because you have a history of reverting vandalism and have given in the past or are trusted in the future to give appropriate warnings. Please have a read over WP:ROLLBACK and remember that rollback is only for use against obvious vandalism. Please use it that way (it can be taken away by any admin at a moment's notice). You may want to consider adding {{Rollback}} and {{User rollback}} to your userpage. Any questions, please drop me a line. Best of luck and thanks for volunteering! wadester16 18:56, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Twinkle

Hey! Thanks for your message! I do use Twinkle and I used that to revert the vandalism and open the users talk page,

But I also use friendly Wikipedia:FRIENDLY which is very similar (and you 'install' it the same way). You get another button (like the ones that you get with twinkle) with "Wel" written on it on a users talk page. There are a bunch of really useful templates for welcoming new users to wikipedia. I think that particular template was "welcome-annon-vandal".

Re: Mezcal

Thanks for your comment. I think the sentence I marked in the article said something to the effect of "There is nothing to support the belief that the mezcal worm has aphrodesiac properties." I marked this as needing a citation, and you essentially said "Are you asking me to prove a negative? That's not cool." Understandable. But I'm not actually asking you to _prove_ a negative, just to give some evidence. The disputed sentence actually makes two assertions, both of which should have some evidence to support them: 1) some people () believe that the mezcal worm has certain properties; and 2) these people are wrong. Unless you have eaten a mezcal worm and found no evidence that it helps your love life (d'oh!), and used that as the basis for the sentence (which would probably count as original research), you probably heard somewhere that the mezcal worm isn't really an aphrodesiac. Just say where you heard it. MarritzN (talk) 03:49, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Labelling

On the Sprinkles page, you say it's not "labelling" in any dictionary. This is wrong. I'm not going to get into an edit war, I just wanted you to know that my Oxford English Dictionary says "labelling". Even Wikipedia says you can use either on the Labelling page.

Also, you mention that sugar strands are "an American subject". This interests me. Could I have your source for this statement, please. IndieSinger (talk) 07:48, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
