Music Hall

I'm putting some of the information I added on the Music Hall article back up, such as George Formby Sr. being one of the highest paid entertainers of his day in the Music Hall and Charlie Chaplin jnr. starting off his career, it isn't unsourced it even says on the articles of the two performers. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greenclayton (talk • contribs)

Happy Wikibreak but....

...please come back when you can. Your superb contributions speak for themselves, but your exuberant backstage editorial comments have been a delight and a support these past few years, and I for one will miss them. Tim riley talk 23:03, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Agree with Tim, but also...was that what you meant to do? Nikkimaria (talk) 17:32, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Nikki, most certainly not, no. I misread it as "reverted SchroCat" Now reverted. Cassianto 17:45, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey

Give the poor old bugger a break, will ya? Seeing the two of you bickering and calling each other names, well it doesn't lead to anything positive. Set an example and maybe he'll follow your lead. Cheers. --Pete (talk) 17:50, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

...and you are? Cassianto 17:55, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

I doubt it: the outbreak of insults and people telling others to "Fuck off" was not started by Cassianto (or me, come to that), so perhaps your calls for people to behave should be focused elsewhere, on the toxic originators of the problem? – SchroCat (talk) 17:59, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

My replies from Gerda's talk page

• Re. :

Last time I checked there was no marshmallow blanket under my butt, I don't know how long ago (if ever) I quoted poetry, and I was certainly not listening to a Piano Concerto No. 21 in C-minor (FYI, Mozart's 21st is in C major — I always like when people get their facts straight). None of this seems relevant for the fact that "some people just do not get on". Last time I checked, we had "comment on content, not on the contributor" to mitigate that on-wiki. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:17, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

• Re.

Who should get used to what? I'm very used to "comment on content, not on the contributor", and I recommend others to get used to it too.

Irony, and sarcasm, don't work very well in Misplaced Pages discussions, that's why I took the "marshmallow ... etc" contribution quite literally. --Francis Schonken (talk) 11:26, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

• Re.

I "grasped" the irony in the marshmallow comment, don't worry about that, that's why I had such fun replying to the comment and the comment only (not the contributor).

I've been around for some time, you know, don't worry about that either.

Re. "distance yourself from Jimbo Wales and his civility police" — seems a rather clueless comment to me: I never "associated" me with them (don't even know whether "civility police" is a thing — I can't remember expressing myself on something I'm not even sure of it exists), so don't see how that distancing would work. --Francis Schonken (talk) 11:53, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Caden meet Mr's Pot, Kettle and Black

There's an editor on here called Caden. He can't write articles, knows nothing about what makes a high quality article and instead, spends his day reverting other people. Yesterday, I was told to keep away from his talk page because I pointed out that he might enjoy pornography a little bit too much. Don't worry though, Caden likes pornography and openly advertises this fact on his user page. Caden, however, plays the incivility card when you remind him of this fact, something which is embarrassing for him, but hilarious for the rest of us.

Here, I transcribe the removed comments onto my talk page for all to see. Having complained that I was rude to him, he left this edit summary "you two are dirty, disgusting old perverts". Funny that, as I personally don't get off on pornography.

The removed exchange was this...

• Dr. Blofeld - "Has all that jerking off to pornography affected your eye sight??"
• Cassianto - "I believe 'wanker' is the word that you're looking for".

Dr. Blofeld and I simply reminded Caden of his love for pornography, with Dr. B using the term "jerking off". Being English, I translated this into "wanker" (I.e, someone who "jerks off"). Caden, the sensitive fellow that he is, removed the posts on his talk page where I was supposed to have called him a wanker. Frustrated with people making opinions of him based on his user boxes, Caden took me to ANI, which he lost. Again. A bit embarrassing for poor old Caden 😏.

Of course, ANI brought the lunatics out of their asylum who criticised me for my "apparant" incivility. They were also blind (probably through wanking themselves) as they seemed to opine that I called Caden a wanker, which I didnt.

Just saying. Cassianto 06:53, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

LMAO. I'm the filthy one apparently when he's the one with a pornography user box and is a project member!!! It was intended in good jest that he seems to watch a lot of porn and can't see that the Paris montage isn't exactly "ugly". If he didn't have such a user box I'd not even have imagined saying that!! What hypocrisy!!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:19, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunatley "jest" and Caden don't go together in a sentence terribly well. What made it even more funny was that User:Metropolitan and some person called Ian something or other sided with the complainant when they hadn't even read the diffs correctly. They just tossed in a few supporting posts in favour of Caden; I can't stand tossers. Cassianto 13:27, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

And let's not forget that I was responding to a direct personal attack on my image in the first place!!.. Who would have taken that to ANI other than a complete humourless time waster..Conclusion? Caden, shut up about my work and stay well away from me and I promise I'll do the same..♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:32, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

You get paid for editing? How do you do that?Amanda Smalls 18:48, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Me, no. Dr. B?. The site couldn't afford him! Cassianto 18:50, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

I saw that Caden had said you watched porn and that you're disgusting. From what I've seen so far, you're no such thing Doctor.Amanda Smalls 18:54, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Ha, right your confused. I don't watch porn, no. It is seedy, embarrassing and something which Caden enjoys. Draw your own conclusions as to who is "disgusting" on that one. Caden advertises his seedy activities on his user page. Cassianto 18:58, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

I was saying that you two are obviously not disgusting. And I did see Caden's page. Amanda Smalls 19:06, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

You didn't, you thought I was the disgusting one, but I will assume good faith and put it down to confusion. Did you see the homophobic user box about marriage? Cassianto 19:09, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

I did, well, you cant please everyone. I'm actually following in the steps of Kim Petras, next month I start gender-reassignmentAmanda Smalls 19:13, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
