Never forget (Conspiracy Theories)

Conspiracy theories are so well hidden and deep the average person knows NOTHING about them, but so incompetent that those who know the truth easily found it and are avoiding being silenced while they share it. --il'Dictator Mikal 02:45, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Even if it goes no-where, I do get an odd pleasure of debating conspiracy theorists and walling off their escape hatches and seeing what they twist and spin. --Revolverman (talk) 02:55, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Explanation

I wanted to see if this would be restored too, or just ignored. It wasn't. Very interesting. --Revolverman (talk) 04:24, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Navigation templates

OK, where should I start...

  • There should be at most one navigation template per article. More are pointless and distracting and displace content, especially images.
  • Just because an article is in a certain category doesn't mean it should have the navigation template for that category, especially if it already has one.
  • There are better thing you can do in mainspace rather than robotically adding navigation templates.
  • Don't complain that someone is reverting your mass changes without giving justification if you haven't given justification for making the mass change in the first place.--ZooGuard (talk) 10:00, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
Ok then, what is the justification for some pages under the template having it and another in the same template NOT having it? Or some doubled up, but some can't be? --Revolverman (talk) 10:02, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
I think you may be confusing (navigation) templates and categories. As I tried to explain - navigation templates take page space and user attention. They are intended to point the user to other pages on the same topic. If the topic/category is secondary to the article at hand, adding a template is pointless and distracting. If the page contains multiple images in the right field, adding a template will force them to the bottom, and moving the images to the left leads to formatting problem with the text, especially on smaller screens. There are also cases when articles are not well categorized - then you need to fix the categories instead of automatically adding a template.
If you notice a page with "doubled up" templates, it was probably some other Aspie getting over-enthusiastic. Feel free to leave only the one you decide is the most relevant. In all cases, try using some common sense.
tl;dr - navigation templates are not page decoration, but a tool. Use them with discernment.--ZooGuard (talk) 10:22, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Elvis is King

I'm not doing anything apart from trying to get rid of sock accounts. Elvis is King, AKA James Wilson, is completely obsessed with Ameriwiki and Taylor Swift. He is not playing with a full deck. --SamCoulter (talk) 03:22, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Makes me wish that Rumor that Nx kept the checkuser program going was true. --Revolverman (talk) 03:24, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
I don't think we really need CheckUser to work out who's behind this. Just ask Colonel Sanders about this stroker. He's been doing this at AW for months. --SamCoulter (talk) 03:25, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
For the IP. Right now, I don't know anyway from anyone spamming new accounts like this. Though thinking about it, he's likely employing proxies. --Revolverman (talk) 03:27, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
He must be. I blocked a couple of his socks and checked "Prevent logged in users from editing from this IP." No effect. --SamCoulter (talk) 03:30, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Are you sure it's him? All he did was the "X Loves Taylor Swift" accounts. I don't recall any sexually vulgar references from him. Perhaps it's MC or some other troll pretendind to be Jimmy? --Colonel Sanders (talk) 03:30, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
We really don't know, just because he saids its him, doesn't mean a thing on the Internet. --Revolverman (talk) 03:32, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
I think Jimmy has had the benefit of enough doubts already. His previous behaviour makes it quite obvious that he's insane. --SamCoulter (talk) 03:33, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
So how many more times are you going to mention "James is insane!"?Mikal Harass Follow 03:35, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Sanity is overrated. Peter Rapidly running out of marmite 03:36, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
(EC×3) Most likely Tor. The only thing half productive that can be done is clean the names from RC, but that will just encourage him. We need to find a tech to add "samcoulter" to the appropriate edit filter. Peter Rapidly running out of marmite 03:33, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Well, screw him. I'm going to bed, so if I'm the target of all this shite he'll hopefully stop. --SamCoulter (talk) 03:36, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Isn't there an option to block anyone trying to edit or create accounts from a Tor on MediaWiki? --Revolverman (talk) 03:37, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
As I understand it that would increase the amount of time edits took to get through immensely, at least for innocent BoNs/account makers. Plus there was a vote against it a few years ago I think. Peter Rapidly running out of marmite 03:38, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
IT was mentioned back in april too, and not really any good support,--Mikal Harass Follow 03:39, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Fair enough. Any way to just zap the account when it pops up so it doesn't clutter anything? --Revolverman (talk) 03:40, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
You can 'hide' it, but it's still there (just can't be easily read). Peter Rapidly running out of marmite 03:41, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
I have to say, thats not good enough. This shit makes RW REALLY REALLY bad. Not great for attracting new editors or even donaters. --Revolverman (talk) 03:43, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh fuck, now hes hitting RWW. --Revolverman (talk) 03:59, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Shall we clean up the mess then? The result would be lots of things like the "(username removed)" at 3:35, though you only have to hide that part. Peter Rapidly running out of marmite 04:02, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
How can I help? --Revolverman (talk) 04:05, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Go to the user creation log and hit "show/hide" beside the entry. Then check the "Hide editor's username/IP address" button and press "apply." This adds another entry into RC, so you'll be needing to get Ninja powers off ty to become a bot and hide your hiding, so to speak. Peter Rapidly running out of marmite 04:11, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Great time for me to check RW/W for the first time in days. ТyNot updated with a witty slogan this week 04:04, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Having fun debating one of CP's finest admins? --Colonel Sanders (talk) 02:02, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Cool stor... oh, whoops. In fact, I am. --Revolverman (talk) 02:03, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
He's nuttier than Schlafly! --Colonel Sanders (talk) 02:04, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
I did see some Andy-esk talking points. I'm sad he never said "Deny this, and lose all credibility" Thats my fav. --Revolverman (talk) 02:06, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
He did use "You're clueless" [1] --Colonel Sanders (talk) 02:10, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
So he did! I didn't even see that. --Revolverman (talk) 02:12, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
I bet he'll use the "Deny this..." in time. Also, what's his deal about me and Swift? I don't remember Schlafly hating on her... Damn mini-Schlafly--Colonel Sanders (talk) 02:14, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Hmmm... he's more of a Mini-Rob with those left turns into nothing statements of his. --Revolverman (talk) 02:20, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Needs more McCarthyism for that.--Colonel Sanders (talk) 02:26, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Looks like plenty to me. --Revolverman (talk) 02:27, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Is he still going? --Colonel Sanders (talk) 02:29, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Awww ya, he seems to be getting very confused though. --Revolverman (talk) 02:30, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Do you deny, sir, that the imbecile you're talking to loves Taylor???--Elvis is King (talk) 02:35, 24 August 2012 (UTC) Cool Story, Bro. --Revolverman (talk) 01:54, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Romney's goldbuggery

Is Mitt Romney economically illiterate? Yes. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 05:51, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Makes me sad I use to buy that shit, hook, line, and sinker. Fiat money is going to fail, and all that Austrian school horseshit. I was a very dumb teenager. Wish drugs were my youthful indiscretion. --Revolverman (talk) 17:35, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
