About some off-wiki post (you know where)

Mhmm, you seem to repeat Republican talking points there. Any personal ("self-made") thoughts about this from your side? Sorry, but I can't post over there as I don't subscribe to political forums, I just read them. Although you made it clear that you stand for what you think and write, if you'd prefer to keep such things rather private I'll promise to respond to your off-wiki posts by e-mail in the future (if I have an itch to say or ask you something). Best, The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 20:31, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Please post a link(s) to whichever discussion thread(s) you're referring to - I'm not concerned about any privacy, as I always post anonymously. I'm a libertarian, as is clearly shown by the userboxes on my userpage. I do not repeat "Republican talking points" - I can clearly think for myself. I favor legalizing gay marriage and all drugs. I favor ending the Iraq War, corporate welfare, and bailouts. I favor universal health care (although not the kind that's 2,000 pages long and negotiated behind closed doors). These are all the opposite of the "Repubican talking points" that you claim I post. Grundle2600 (talk) 23:24, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. That's some kind of relieve that I didn't invade your privacy. The post I'm referring to is at [Free Republic.com]. Cheers,--The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 00:11, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh, but of course I can post it w/o direct linking and spaces: http:// www. freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2425379/posts . So there you go. The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 00:28, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. I was just trying to point out Obama's hypocrisy. Grundle2600 (talk) 00:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Sure, as always... but to get some facts straight: The Reps "dumped" Lott right away as far as I know meanwhile the Dems backed their guy up (which usually the Reps do; Stand by your man...), took his apology and went on to more important business. Also there is some flaw in the comparison but there I'm not sure to be honest. That's how I see it don't could give a damn about Dems or Reps (as two choices are no real choice). Cheers and happy "no drama" week for you, The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 01:00, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm always up for a friendly political conversation - even during the dramaout! Grundle2600 (talk) 01:39, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

You are definitely an independent thinker, and your politics are, well, independent; you don't fit into any of the standard classifications.

Boy, you sign up for everyplace on the web. PhGustaf (talk) 23:40, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. A lot of those websites just copied what I posted from other websites. I have accounts at Rate Your Music, Free Republic, DVD Talk, and amazon.com. Many of the others that you see were copied by someone else, and I do not have accounts at those websites. Grundle2600 (talk) 00:00, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

And WP. How could you forget that?The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 00:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I didn't forget - I just figured you already knew. Grundle2600 (talk) 00:33, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I knew and know most about you in this manner :)) The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 01:00, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Heart-kun

Thanks for the picture, ChildofMidnight! Grundle2600 (talk) 18:09, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

So the "lion" sleeps tonight? :) The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 21:42, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I've made a few edits today, but I've been pretty busy. Grundle2600 (talk) 22:54, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh, yeah. The article about the dog was red when when he posted the picture, so I guess he was suggesting that I start it. But I didn't, and since then, someone else started it. Grundle2600 (talk) 22:56, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

So the "lion" awoke and you weren't aware? You like to live dangerous, don't you? *giggle* The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 23:33, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Here is a suggestion for an entirely drama-free article creation: [1] SPLETTE :] ^{How's my driving?} 04:30, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Update: Too late, has just been created by someone else: Rainbow Warrior III SPLETTE :] ^{How's my driving?} 21:52, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Grundle2600 (talk) 06:33, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm glad that someone started it - I can't do them all! Grundle2600 (talk) 23:24, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

I predict Martha Coakley wins. I don't think Massachusetts is ready for real change. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:04, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

I predict that Scott Brown wins the bluest state in the union. Grundle2600 (talk) 00:21, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

I thought Hawaii was the bluest state in the union. I think of Massachusetts as being more red, white, and blue, mostly from the snow, lobsters and crabs, American flags, colonial houses with white picket fences and lakes/ shoreline (although the water there is more grey than blue I think, which takes me again back to Hawaii for true blue...). ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:59, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

I always thought Hawaii was turquoise. Grundle2600 (talk) 01:13, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

You might be right. Although there are some purples there too amongst the orchids, butterflies, birds, starfish and corals. What color are the breezes through the palms... ahhh...

Politically speaking they have a Republican governor, of course, helping keep order. So the primary colors are hard to find outside of Wikipedia. ;) ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:41, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

You were right and I was wrong. I guess there's a first for everything? Happy nodrama 2010. Sorry for interrupting.ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:33, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

I like talking to you - you're never an interruption. Happy nodrama 2010 to you too! Grundle2600 (talk) 23:23, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Uh oh! What happened to Heart Kun's photo??? More censorship? Speaking of which, it's an interesting Supreme Court decision that came down. I think it's strange that individual political contributions are so limited (which has helped encourage all these shady PACs) while groups are allowed to spend unlimited amounts. I'm not sure I disagree with the decision, but it seems counter to the previous decision and McCain Feingold. The idea that you or I could't spend money making a political movie does seem undemocratic. I think campaign speech should be allowed in all cases as long as there is transparency. McCain really fouled that one up. And how about this John Edwards saga. And now he's in Haiti making even more children? Crazy. Two Americas indeed. I'll stick with mine and leave Al Gore, John Edwards, the Clintons, and all these wacko cultist bullies running around here to there's, thank you very much. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:01, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I guess the photo got deleted. I agree with you that transparency, not limits on spending, is the best kind of campaign finance reform. A real "man" would never deny the existence of his own child. Grundle2600 (talk) 03:24, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

What a pity

That video could've been funny if it wouldn't be so extremely offensive. If you just would know and understand the original words (even so they are from a movie) you wouldn't have posted it. But as usual, you don't think about what you see and read; you just repeat. Shame on you? Not really, because you just don't know better and that's the pity and shame.--The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 20:09, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

And BTW: Ron Paul didn't and sure never would endorse such crap. He's way much smarter than this (and probably would kick your ass to outher space just for posting such shit).The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 20:18, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I know what the movie is. I'm Jewish, and I think the new dialogue is hilarious. Dozens of such videos with new dialogue from that exact same scene, covering a wide variety of subjects, have been uploaded to YouTube. Grundle2600 (talk) 21:07, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, Downfall (film)#Parodies. While we're on strangely offensive but encyclopedic subjects, congratulations on this article! - Wikidemon (talk) 23:03, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the link, and for the congratulations! Grundle2600 (talk) 23:10, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I won't comment on my heritage but I do find the Hitler Meme funny. I don't get Mel Brooks like other people do so a lot of his humor goes past me... I do like the fart scene in blazing saddles. And this video is pretty cool. Anyway, I'm going to gracefully leave and partition off this discussion because I see that it could get a little close interaction-ban wise. Feel free to reformat though. Cheers, - Wikidemon (talk) 00:32, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm of Jewish heritage which is the reason I'm a US citizen and I find it highly offensive despite of this and (more than blindness stupidity) what someone else said not here but on his talk page referring to this thread. And Wikidemon, I don't mind parodies at all as long as they're sophisticated enough to overcome a slapstick kind of quality in regards to certain issues. Believe me, I have plenty of personal critic on hand in both ways when it comes to Hitler and the 3rd Reich period but there is a limit; A limit that might be hard to be understood in the US at least by most I must say. Compare it to the word "Negro" or making a parody about it; Some is ok but you easily can overstep the line. Get it?--The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 23:55, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

• Amazingly, CoM's link (from his talk page) is somehow funny; Well, maybe not that funny but enjoyable.The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 00:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

• It's the same video. How can one be offensive while the other one is funny? Grundle2600 (talk) 00:58, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

• Different subtitles, Grundle!!! Didn't you get that?The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 01:11, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

• Yes, I know the subtitles are different - but the videos are the same. If one is offensive, then how can the other one not be offensive too? Grundle2600 (talk) 01:15, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

• Gosh, as I said before and more than once: You don't read, you don't watch and you don't pay attention; And most important, you mostly just don't understand. Would that be accurate?--The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 01:20, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Markus (prostitute)

A tag has been placed on Markus (prostitute) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk | ☮✌☮ 21:04, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Chimpcam

I have nominated Chimpcam, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chimpcam. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:36, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

It appears it is legitimate. Please accept my apologies and feel fre to withdraw the nom. Reference this post if nec. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 18:36, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

That's great! And of course I accept your apology. Thank you for letting me know. Grundle2600 (talk) 19:31, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

And guess who closed that AFD? It was me as a matter of fact. Even so it is quite rare and unusual for non-admins to do this, WP is not a bureaucracy where some non-admin can't step in when there is a clear cut case (and would've be done anyway by policy). Doesn't mean I "had" to do it but since I liked the basics of your article I took "advantage" to make up for my recent lack of politeness. Enjoy the article. But please, keep working on it as there is plenty more to add from the existing sources, not even to mention the upcoming ones after airing. Best, --The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 02:25, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! Grundle2600 (talk) 02:34, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

I take your response as "apology accepted". Thanks. --The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 02:42, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I accept your apology. Grundle2600 (talk) 02:43, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Glad to hear that.The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 03:11, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Wow! Great articles

I hope you'll do DYKs for them. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:05, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Nanodragster

On January 29, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nanodragster, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Stop

Please stop POV-pushing all over Wikipedia. It amazes me that you haven't been indefinitely blocked for your appalling behavior. -- Scjessey (talk) 01:58, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

I love science, and I'm not going to let the pushers of bogus "science" get away without their false claims being refuted. You may believe in stuff like Creationism, Flat Earth, Homeopathy, Astrology, and Numerology, but I know they are fake, and they need to be treated as such. Grundle2600 (talk) 02:05, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

No, I don't believe in any of that shit. But it's they're all reliably-sourced with centuries of scholarly works on the subjects. These "-gate" things are 5-minute fads created by reality-deniers. You do yourself considerable harm being associated with this bullshit. -- Scjessey (talk) 13:29, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

I'd like the encyclopedia to document all points of view that have been published by reliable sources. Grundle2600 (talk) 15:02, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

It's well documented that they repeatedly, wrongly said the glacier would be gone by 2035, without any scientific evidence to back up their claim. Grundle2600 (talk) 15:03, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey, could you also please not make any more edits like this one, as they break your restriction. If you're unable to follow the terms of your restriction, the next step will probably be a ban, which I know you wouldn't like. --John (talk) 16:36, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I am allowed to talk about politics on the talk page of someone who does not object, as long as I don't suggest edits to articles. Grundle2600 (talk) 16:38, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I disagree. You have had many last chances here as far as I recall. If you push your luck like this, you will shortly find yourself unable to edit at all. Your call, of course. --John (talk) 16:51, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

OK. I will do as you say. I don't want to get blocked. Thanks for the warning. Grundle2600 (talk) 16:52, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Puppy Bowl VI

Who else besides me is planning to watch Puppy Bowl VI on February 7? Grundle2600 (talk) 02:48, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Not me. Who's your pick for the Superbowl? I'm rooting for New Orleans, but I think the Colts are likely to win. :( ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:38, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't have a pick. I didn't even know who was playing. Grundle2600 (talk) 22:41, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Which breed will you be rooting for, or is there a Schnauser you are a fan of? ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:25, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

"one, two, three, fuck"

Grundle, McCartney clearly doesn’t say “fuck”, so what is the point here? A lot of pointless things have been published about the band over time, and surely we have to discriminate between what is relevant and what is just wrong? Stuff like this is distracting, and devalues the article, I think. Also, highlighting fuck just makes it look like you’re trying to be mischievous. I would like to remove it all. What do you say? --Patthedog (talk) 12:16, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

The claim is well sourced - it's not even from the internet - it's from an actual paper book! I won't remove it, but if a consensus wants it removed, I won't dispute it. Let's give it time to see what others say. I was actually surprised that it wasn't already in the article - I thought everyone already knew about it. Grundle2600 (talk) 17:07, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

In case anyone else is reading this, this is the edit that is being discussed. Grundle2600 (talk) 17:59, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

You also might want to take into account comments made on John Cardinal (talk) page regarding this, but keeping it here. --Patthedog (talk) 18:38, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

OK. I read it. I'll abide by whatever the consensus is. If someone removes it, I won't put it back in or edit war. I just thought it was worth adding to the article - one time. Grundle2600 (talk) 19:13, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

I accept entirely your reasons for putting it in. Let’s leave a short time to give others a chance to have their say.--Patthedog (talk) 20:36, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

In the news

I think this is an interesting editorial [2]. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:53, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I agree with you. For the record, I have been informed that I probably shouldn't discuss climate change - even on my own talk page - because it could violate my topic ban. However, such a ban does not apply to you, so you may discuss anything on my talk page. Grundle2600 (talk) 17:57, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, indeed. That discussion is like a who's who of Wikipedia's most abusive propagandists, a regular parade of POV pushers. It's instructive to compare and contrast the way Will Connolly's recent spate of edit warring was handled in comparison to the punitive and abusive enforcement taken against user:THF, not to mention GoRight. Is he still blocked? It pains me to check in on that fiasco of dishonest harassment, intimidation and censorship. In fact I envy you for being able to keep a happy demeanor going in the face of so much thuggish ignorance and hyopcritical arrogance on Wikipedia. Have a good one. ChildofMidnight (talk) 09:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Recent talk at User talk:GoRight, as well as his recent editing history here, suggests that he has been unblocked, but with hugely substantial editing restrictions. Thanks for your kind words. You have a good one too! Grundle2600 (talk) 18:58, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

How can you support universal healthcare?

Your not a true libertarian. Don't you realize that it is communist to support universal healthcare? 199.8.158.121 (talk) 20:39, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I think there should be a social safety net for people who truly can't afford health care - and medicaid fits that criteria, although I do think its eligibility should be expanded so that more people can sign up. I am against creating any new programs to pay for health care. I also favor repealing the ban on interstate sales of health insurance, so that people can buy it from all 50 states, instead of just the one state where they live. I also favor some type of tort reform, such as what was done very successfully in Texas. I am perhaps 80% libertarian, but not 100%. I don't think most liberals or conservatives are 100% in line with their parties' views either. Grundle2600 (talk) 21:12, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh. Well, that's very different. My concern here is not with this particular politician, but with the fact that editors are removing well sourced, relevant material that it critical of a politician.

Personally, I think that Mayor McDermott is an excellent representative of Lake County Democrats and will make a fine candidate, if what you want is to show the real state of that party. I am not a fan. I would caution that there are rules against attacking living persons, even in talk pages. You can make your point of view clear without letting Wikipedia's leg breakers get you on a rules violation. Be smart and stay within the lines. It's actually more fun that way IMHO because it makes you stretch your vocabulary and your wit. TMLutas (talk) 17:12, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

That is the dumbest thing I've seen in a while. I'm going to try it this weekend. Drmies (talk) 06:55, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Be sure to open your mouth and let go before they lift you too high off the ground. Grundle2600 (talk) 07:03, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Climate change exaggeration

I have nominated Climate change exaggeration, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Climate change exaggeration. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. ScienceApologist (talk) 02:03, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Climate change exaggeration

You are dancing on the edge of your topic ban. I'm not going to call you on it, but eventually someone will, and you're at your fourth or fifth last chance. PhGustaf (talk) 02:39, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I wrote the article about science, not politics.

Regarding my topic ban, this is from the admin who enacted my original topic ban. The bolding is mine:

"*Political depends on what you are trying to change in the article. Medical cannabis looks fine for now. If you wanted to add a long section that talked about the politics of medical cannabis, that would probably be covered, especially if it singled out particular politicians for scrutiny or criticism. You can post the addition to the talk page and if other people like it, they can copy it to the article for you. "Politics and politicians" is somewhat narrower in intention than "political" -- just about everything could be described as "political" these days. It is not my intent to have the topic ban interpreted so broadly as to give other editors a club to pound you with for edits to unrelated topics. Thatcher 15:11, 25 June 2009 (UTC)"

So I am allowed to edit articles on climate change, as long as I stick to the science.

I recommend that you stop mincing words and stay away from all climate change articles, or you'll wind up back at AN/I very soon. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 20:49, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I never tried to stop you from adding well sourced material to wikipedia. In fact, I have never, ever erased any relevant, well sourced material from any article. And I have never filed an ANI report on anyone, or voted in favor of blocking or banning anyone. I believe that wikipedia should present all points of view. It's really sad how many people favor censorship of the encyclopedia. Grundle2600 (talk) 00:12, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

For the time being, I'm mainly sticking to the talk pages on those articles. Those articles are on probation, and I want to follow the rules, find out what the consensus is, and improve the encyclopedia. Grundle2600 (talk) 02:25, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

I made a few additions of quotes. I now see that you are an admin. Well, I don't want to waste six hours at ANI and then be indef blocked for a few days, so I'll lay low for a while, but I'm not happy about it. Grundle2600 (talk) 05:14, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

I respect the fact that the consensus is leaning in the direction of deletion. I do like the fact that many of those who favor deletion also favor merging some of the info into climate change controversy. I will respect whatever the consensus is. I do not like the personal attacks against me which attribute bad motivations to my creating the article. I read a lot of news articles, and sometimes I think that adding some of those things to the encyclopedia would make it better. The vast majority of the articles that I have created have never been nominated for deletion. It has never been my intent to harm the encyclopedia. Grundle2600 (talk) 05:19, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

How you abide by the terms of your topic ban shouldn't have anything to do with whether I'm an administrator. Maybe you should have thought about the consequences of your actions when PhGustaf warned you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 05:21, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

The article is about science, not politics. There is often, however, a fine line between the two. Grundle2600 (talk) 05:25, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi bot! The article contains a quote from a medical journal. Perhaps other sources contain the same quote. I cited the source of the quote, which is allowable under Fair use. Grundle2600 (talk) 20:06, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm taking this very short break from my wikibreak to say that I am OK with the block. Thanks for making it 48 hours instead of indef. Grundle2600 (talk) 18:39, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
