yeah!!
Inspite of contributing for 6 years; some sucking administrator reverts my article if it does not fit their requirements. And even when there are no copyright infringements they ask and say about copyright….they suck… i hate wikipedia now..

And you have to pay GayT&T $20 a month for it. I can jailbreak my 3GS and get tethering for free. Also, non-shit multitasking. And backgrounds have been around since the days of OS 1.x, IIRC.

Hey, just to rile the admins up, add tags to other blacklisted urls on wikipedia and insert those into Wikipedia articles. It’ll blow admins’ minds. Especially that nutjob admin Gogo Dodo. Another admin (the aptly-named ‘Stifle’, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Stifle) is the bane of many good Wikipedians’ Wiki-presence.

I then realized that he had also changed an addition I had made to the “THX1138″ article, as well as posted a criticism of my Talk page. When I questioned why he would delete an article about which he could have no practical knowledge, he deleted my name from the list of announcers at the article about the radio station I work at, with the notation, that he did not believe I was a real person! When I called him on that, he promptly had me blocked indefinitely.

OK, I let that go, although I have to tell you, it pissed me off mightily; but, as some folks have said, what can you do?

So, earlier this year, in accordance with their own “clean start” policy, I started a new screen name, and, trying to be really careful about NOT violating any policies, went about my merry way. A couple of weeks ago however, I had a “page watch” notice, that an article I had originally authored about another band, and to which I had uploaded an old promo photo of the band, had been changed. When I looked, I noted that the promo photo had been deleted, not just from the website, but from the entire Wiki as well. No prior notification, no chance to fix whatever perceived errors this particular editor had problems with; just gone.

After I determined that the photo DID comply with the “fair use” policies, I re-loaded it, and provided a “non-free usage” box, which I actually copied and modified, from another band’s article. All Ok? Not quite. After a couple of weeks, I get a notification that this same clown has proposed deleting the photo again, this time, because I had identified it as a photo from a 45rpm sleeve, instead of specifically as a “promotion photograph” – although, as with many groups of the 1960s, it actually served both functions. I have two separate posters with this same photo on it, I just choose to scan the 45 sleeve, because it was easier. I explained that to him, and modified the usage box – still not good enough. He went ahead and deleted it, this time with the added notation, that “it was originally identified as a record cover”. Then, he began harassing me, by reverting other edits that I had made for other articles, and posting a note on my talk page, that said he was insulted by the fact that I had checked the “revert vandalism” button, when I re-loaded the photo. I responded to his talk page, and told him, politely, that I did, in fact, consider that sort of abrupt deletion to be vandalism.

In response, he blocked my editing access, “indefinitely”, which I guess means forever. Although I attempted to appeal, since he had somehow gone and edited and deleted the history log of the comments which I had actually made on his talk page, I had no proof that I hadn’t. I didn’t know that the page history could be altered and deleted like that, but apparently administrators have all sorts of powers.

I was going to let it go, but then, he decided to escalate the situation, by removing my ability to send emails or even edit my own talk page, and finally. His final step was to change the block rationale on my page to being that my current user name, was a “sock puppet” of my former one, even though I had been very careful to completely abandon the old user name, and only use the new one.

He made one mistake tho… unlike most of these cases, where the jerk is half a continent or world away, this putz is a student at a public college, located right down the road from the station I work at. I even know his first name, his major and his hobbies. I have a feeling, that “Tedder”, may someday soon be going to discover another meaning to the term “sock puppet”!

At any rate, someone messed up and this is why it’s happening.

“I have almost stopped editing on Wikipedia because I can’t do so peacefully.”

I think that’s what their whole point was… it sounds like you were fucking up Wikipedia and some good admins were able to stop you.

MY IP IS 70.160.112.229

Hmm, you’re right. I looked at my own.

I just hate idiots who spam with shitty grammar. The title of this post reminds me of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8Djspr7lf8

@2 I hear that one a lot.

@5 Heard it recently

I have written complaint emails and called until I’m blue in the face and no one will do anything about it. They all take up for each other.

Yes a multitude of proposals that didn’t even come close to the teachers minimum requirements. Look at other states and how much better they’re doing with class sizes, and pay raises. If you’re talking about stubborn, then Vargas would be the perfect example. It would be so simple just to accept the proposition made by the Kent Educators Association (KEA). Also, we have millions upon millions in spare money to use for the plan, and we’d still have plenty rainy day funds ( The Rainy Day Fund is what the KSD calls this back up reserve of cash ). Why seek and alternative when the real deal is readily in your grasp?

Vargas acted like a child, not an adult, when he called a surprise press conference that made this make a turn for the worse, and when he took the KEA to court. All he had to do was act as a civilized adult, and accept the plan. And if you think the recession is bad, it’s really getting better, it’s still too early to say, but if you look at our economy compared to when it first hit, it’s taking a turn for the better, and unless something truly terrible happens, we’ll be well along our way to recovery. Why you ask, that they continue to strike? Because they’re not cowards, they’re not going to give up for something they really believe in, and are willing to fight for it. You complain of like being boring, theres plenty of things you could do, I’m sure. For a strike like this to be illegal is ridiculous, i mean, I see the sense of it, but we can always make it up in breaks, Do you really need 2 weeks of breaks at a time? we could skip a few, we have too much break time during the school year as it is.

This strike calls as a valiant effort by the teachers, and the many students and parents that support them. School absolutely will start soon, if only our foolish superintendent would as so kindly please accept the KEA requirements of the contract. Our distinguished educators have spent hours and hours in blistering heat and rain for a truly honorable cause, would you have that dedication to your students and fellow city folk?

First of all, there’s Special:Contributions/Username, which will also produce a RSS feed for tools to parse it.

Second, Administrators have no lives if they’re wandering around looking to complain about crap.

That’s why I run OKSW. =)

Regardless of what eventually gets packaged in Fedora, remember that no one spam solution is right for everyone. Except, of course, for all spammers to be sent to the bottom of the ocean.

The thing I don’t like about Opera is that every time I scroll down to the bottom of a page, there’s a black line. There is also a black border around the search box.

I may end up using Opera instead.

You have a zippo lighter in your iPod Touch? Suspicious…

you should also make the snow pile up on the “dedicated snow page”. What would be really funny is that when the snow piles to the top of the screen, you should somehow make it come out the monitor or screen of whoever is viewing it . I’m just making this up.

I got three inches of snow. I bet that your blog will get so covered in digital snow that it will freeze over.

At our place, there’s a huge hill. Last year, my dad drove down it and his car spun 720 degrees out of control. He was lucky not to crash.

I have never heard of an iPod Touch “accidentally” saving a screenshot. How did this happen, where did you find it, and how did you upload it?

I have heard reports that when the police tried to stop the crowd, it took them ten minutes. Also, other employees had to climb onto the vending machines to escape the puddle of customers.

(i don’t know the CSS code for the little “R” in the circle)

So anyway, if you want to do a USB install and not have it be slow, pull up some instructions for an 8.04 persistent USB install.

I am also appalled by your Microtard’s stance. You’re the one making strange drawings over Windows 7..

In the other theme with a Halo screenshot, the navbar allows you to navigate between adjacent articles.

I’d like to comment that the reCaptcha thing was messed up when I forgot to enter the words in the field. It was placed in the middle, and the “RECENT POSTS” section was blocking it. The publish button was also in the wrong place. Another sign that this blog needs massive improvement.

Joomla is actually a content management system.

About the login link, I can move it into the navbar with the subscribe and admin links.

I downloaded Opera 9.6 for trial on my PPC Mac (10.4.8), and it turns out Opera gets an 85 on the acid3 test. It’s actually better than Firefox which got a 77/100.

For me, Opera 9.6 looks no different from Opera 9.5. They probably just fixed a few bugs.

For now, I’ll stick with my Firefox 3.0 browser. They say it has the best security.

Firefox 3 should get a 71, as that was where the progress was cut off (Firefox 3 had to ship). Firefox 3.1 is supposed to pass Acid3 (only 7 points more).

Google Chrome, being based on WebKit, which was the first rendering engine to fully and completely pass Acid3 (including speed, but they did at one point cheat, but I don’t know if they still do) is bound to get a higher score than Firefox 3.

The next Google Chrome release is highly likely to completely pass Acid3, after a few merges with WebKit trunk.

So currently, the only released rendering engine to pass Acid3 is WebKit (Opera 9.6 does not pass Acid3, despite all the hype about Opera being the first, but that was a poorly hacked up version), with Gecko 1.9.1 (Firefox 3.1) not far away.

But in my opinion, Google Chrome sucks so bad it would have given IE7 a pretty dang high score.

The only browser in hell that can make IE seem good.

Chrome makes IE6 seem good

Like heavenly good.
