Fun talk:Trent Toulouse

Meh, only worth 5K points. Try harder next time, rather than spreading your liberal lies. 00:52, 5 March 2008 (EST)
 * Its at least 6k points. TmtamesP 00:53, 5 March 2008 (EST)
 * Boring...you have to sex it up a little...here, ill help...-- [[Image:Asclepius staff.png|8px]]-PalMD -- 22:08, 6 March 2008 (EST)
 * You added a picture of a goat. Thanks. TmtamesP 22:10, 6 March 2008 (EST)
 * This should be moved to rationalwikiwkwiwkwiwiki where it belongs. It certainly doesn't belong in the mainspace. human  22:12, 6 March 2008 (EST)

Why does cp founder get an article, but not the keeper of this site. Your disrespect is disgusting. TmtamesP 22:13, 6 March 2008 (EST)
 * Because this site ruins the internet. -Judas Reward 14:04, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

Dont complain about this article
Why should the founder of CP get an article, and not the founder of this site? This article stays! TmtamesP 15:14, 11 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Quit whinging or I'll turn you into a newt! human  15:37, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

Why was my edit reverted?
There is discussion on here to delete this article it should have the delete template. BTM 13:55, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Sorry - wasn't really paying attention.PFoster 13:56, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Can I suggest a redirect to his user page or to delete the article. As written it is really silly and adds nothing and is certainly off the mission statement. Or you could put it in that fun thing but that doesnt seem like that great an idea. BTM 14:07, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * As written it is really silly and adds nothing and is certainly off the mission statement By virtue of being silly and adding nothing it is perfectly on mission statement. As well, a touch of humourous self-criticism is what sets it apart. Finally this is TMT's important wiki project pissy little blog, so he should have an article as does Schlafly on CP and Jimbo Wales on WP too lazy to check that last one, hope it's true... PFoster 14:12, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Well then shouldn't it say something other than random dadaism prose? Online yardstick? BTM 14:16, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * I got yer yardstick RIGHT HERE.PFoster 14:18, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Okay then....BTM 14:21, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

DO NOT DELETE - Tmtoulouse is highly notable. SHahB 14:52, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * And you're a troll. BTM 14:53, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Yes, that may be true sometimes, but that doesn't change the fact that Toulouse is extremely notable. SHahB 15:03, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Notable to this community maybe, but if thats the case then write something that isn't just stream of consciousness crap. BTM 15:05, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Are you familiar with the way in which a wiki works? (or other alliterations?) Bitchin' on the talk pages won't fix it. You, and only you, can stop forest fires.PFoster 15:07, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * I think the article is pretty well-written, true and verifiable, and has plenty of SPOV. So what's your problem, "BTM", if that's your real name? human  15:37, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * I don't think it really justifies its presence here. And I think BTM stands for Bohdan's Telepathy Machine. Oh yeah. 15:38, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

Please, no reverts
What is the problem with the article? SHahB 23:16, 19 May 2008 (EDT)
 * It makes no sense at all, doesn't fit into the style of the main article space and is a non-notable subject. Either say something other than stream of consciousness nonsense, move it to fun, delete it, or redirect it to the user page. BTM 23:18, 19 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Here is what it used to say:

Tmtuolouse (also spelled Tmtoulwoo se ) is a despotic online ruler. He runs a fringe website and persecutes anyone who shows the ability to think freely. He is well known for writing crappy articles and for being schooled to tears by Denise O'Leary.


 * Bohdan, please - do us, and yourself a favour, and just run away and play with the traffic in the road.  You're presence is....pointless.   DogP  23:22, 19 May 2008 (EDT)


 * And the current version is even better than that. Perhaps we could agree to move it to "fun"? human  23:24, 19 May 2008 (EDT)
 * I don't think we need it at all. But I suppose fun would be appropriate. 23:26, 19 May 2008 (EDT)

What are the chances
What are the chances that I could get either a real article written or this to disappear from the wiki? 23:19, 23 June 2008 (EDT)
 * I vote delete. In fact, it might make it easier to delete if you gave me checkuser. 23:22, 23 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Done. 23:29, 23 June 2008 (EDT)
 * It doesn't appear to do anything. How about tickleuser? That sounds more fun. 23:40, 23 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Done. 23:45, 23 June 2008 (EDT)
 * You're just being silly now. 00:11, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Actually, if you're making custom user rights on a whim, I'd like "Stewart", "Supercrat" and "Jellyfish", if you please. 00:14, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Also: "Sight Owner" and "Timtoulouse". 00:18, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Done. 00:24, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
 * I would like to request that my user privs include "newt". Thank you that is all.  ħ uman  00:30, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
 * About the article though?? 00:31, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Oh and, done. 00:32, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Article? 00:34, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Ai impruffed it. Some bean guy messed with it while I did so.  I ate teh beanz.  A Pinto is a car that explodes when impacted from teh rear.  This is because a Pinto Bean needs a very large tank for its gas.  See also: flatulent tyres.  ħ uman  00:38, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks. Really. 00:48, 24 June 2008 (EDT)

Delete nom
Some drive by color added the delete template with the comment ""Pointless, overly self-referential and pointless once more"

It is, however, funny in several places, and tucked safely away in the "fun" space.  ħ uman  17:11, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Where are these funny places? 17:12, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * There was something about the "Toulouse baramin" as I recall, also the thing about him crying over his schooling... actually, most of it is funny.  ħ uman  17:20, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Well, two things, really.
 * 1. Nothing in this article is funny.
 * 2. By your celebrated "anything funny has to be directly related to an argument" theory, almost all of it would have to be removed anyway. 17:26, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * 1. That's your opinion, I chuckle at most of it.
 * 2. Huh? Even if that was our "rule" in the mainspace, this isn't the mainspace.  And there isn't a "rule".  ħ uman  17:42, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * 1. Great. That's your opinion. Once again, you've forgotten that you're not right by default.
 * 2. Who said "rule"? I was merely point out that your theory is tragically misguided, and I'm glad you agree! 17:50, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * I'm embarassed at how piss poor it is. Can't we come up with something more amusing? An expose of his writing style and spelling mistakes might be a good start. And nothing about the waterboarding incident! Генгис    18:09, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * 1. Correct, it's my opinion that it's funny. Neither of us are "right by default".  There are plenty of jokes on this site that I "don't get", but that doesn't mean they aren't funny.
 * 2. Thanks for the link, but I don't see what "theory" it espouses. Also, that was a mainspace article, right?
 * @GK, yes, that would be an excellent addition, if the article survives, of course.  ħ uman  18:38, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

I vote delete. tmtoulouse 18:45, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * I concur (naturally). No current worth, and no potential for improvement. Who wants to cast the final stone? 18:55, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * "No current worth, and no potential for improvement." "Great. That's your opinion. Once again, you've forgotten that you're not right by default." Just sayin' is all...  ħ uman  19:16, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Wait, wait; I have a better one: "If I find myself having to undo or rollback any more of the crappier work you are doing, I might be inclined to give you a day off to think about what your goals are here." Good advice, I think. 19:20, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

Compared to some other craptastic funspace articles, this one's not that bad. I'd say delete, but I didn't think funspace standards were being enforced so strictly. 03:18, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You do know that this was last discussed 2 years ago? i9 03:20, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah. Thanks for cluing me in. Can you tell me what time it is? Can't make out these infernal Arabic numerals. 03:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It's yesterday. For now. 04:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * LIES! It's already tomorrow. -- Nx  / talk 04:25, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it was yesterday, yes. 04:32, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

There are no standards for fun (that I am aware of) and consequently there is no basis for a deletion debate.--BobSpring is sprung! 06:21, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no fun in standards (not that I am aware) and furthermore, there is no platform for a selection rebate. 06:30, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Though now that I've actually read the article I've got to admit that I'm not keen on it.--BobSpring is sprung! 06:45, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * There's a lot of ancient history in them thar "jokes". It's a real trip down memory lane.  06:48, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * That may be true but many of them have passed their sell-by dates. Also it doesn't really reflect very well on Trent or us. I feel it could be better done.--BobSpring is sprung! 12:28, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
