Moving Method.

Your moving method of your talk page has been effective, but sadly, it's now made me look like a vandal. Look at my edit count: 1, and look at the user talk section: it looks like I've been doing tons of editing your 13th archive. If I was in another editor review, or in my own RfA, or something that requires looking at this edit counter, other users would think that I edited your archive. What can be done to fix this?

This is a pretty common method of archiving. It's suggested on the archiving page. Nobody will ever question this. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 04:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Return of the Scumbag Rogue Admin (tm)

(seriously, you could print that on a t-shirt. If you make it, nerds will buy) :D

Regarding that matter we discussed before, I know it's a lot to wade through. I think that an overview of the history (paying attention to the edit summaries) will pretty much verify that few if any contributors get to make edits without getting reverted. He does trot out the old 'disruptive' and 'troll' label whenever addressing my edits. That said, he has been allowing someone to work on a cast section. That is, working on it on a temp page, as SlimVirgin protected the page. I think that pretty much nails the coffin on the WP:OWN concern. He (V) simply doesn't pay a lot of heed to admins or other editors (one of which, a pretty helpful guy simply melted down over this clown's antics here and finally here), The editor is questions seems to be operating in some weird vaccuum, coz his only response was to say, like, so sorry to see you go, here's your hat what's your hurry? I used to think that people like that only showed their colors on the Admin notice boards...Arcayne 05:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Fred Rogers

I realized the error, and I thought that I reverted my own edit... I must not have finished. I was doing the editing at school, and the classes may have changed, causing me to cancel to repair. I'll be more careful to make sure my edits are accepted and acurate from now on. --Luxury-Yacht 20:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate that. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 21:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Battle of Metropolis AfD

"Spandex slap fights"?!? I haven't laughed that much at a Misplaced Pages edit in a long time. CovenantD 22:33, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

about Annihilation (comics)

i would really appreciate your input regarding this article, because like marvel's civil war, this article has also become too long and would also need some major clean up, thanks! †Bloodpack† 10:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

GO AWAY NERD

If you don't want personal attacks directed at you, then don't attack me.

It's All About Me, by Chris Griswold

I'm Chris Griswold and I'm under the delusion that I'm a Misplaced Pages administrator. For instance, when I talk about Misplaced Pages, I refer to it as "our Misplaced Pages" so that users think they would actually hire a douchebag like me. You see, I take Misplaced Pages way too seriously, to the point where it's become an unhealthy obsession. If you look at my photo, you can see why I have no personal life. I'm butt ugly. And my personality sucks. So I spend ALL my time on Misplaced Pages bothering others to make up for the fact that I got beat up a lot in high school by girls. I also say things like "We are here for you" as if there are others in agreement with me. When actually, no one cares what I have to say because I'm a pain in the ass.

"By the way, some of that's libel, and you are legally responsible for that." Oh, okay. Go ahead and sue me then, little boy.

Hilarious. I got a little confused at the end about whether you were speaking as me or as you. You may wish to revise for clarity. Otherwise, I think it's good to go. Print it out, put it in an envelope and slap a stamp on that, and you'll be published in Harper's Bazaar easily. But I'm sure a lot of things come to you easily. I'm very proud of you, Rosemary. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 17:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Well said, sir! Acalamari 17:52, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I disagree, Acalamari. I thought his comeback was lame and lacked creativity. Hey Chris, I'm still waiting for that libel suit. Haha!

Battle infobox and fictional battles?

I've never heard of the battle infobox not being allowed for fictional battles. Can you please point me to where it says this for confirmation? I know of some articles that would need it removed. --Hemlock Martinis 06:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Man in Black pointed me to WP:WAF#Infoboxes and succession boxes. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 09:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, thanks very much. Perhaps creating an infobox specifically for fictional battles would be an appropriate solution? --Hemlock Martinis 06:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Relevant conversation on this subject is at WT:WAF. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, did you mean this? Perhaps WP:FICT could be retooled (it claims to be a notability standard), or we could keep the useful tool we have now and write a new one? Any thoughts? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I do mean it, and while there has been some talk on WT:CMC, I think we need to actually get to this. You and I both fight cruft as much as possible. I mostly restrict myself to comics, and I tend to focus on plot summaries. I would really like to work with you and assess whether what we have can be upgraded to be more efficient or if we need to start fresh. The last I remembered, WP:CMC was going to require at least one secondary source for articles about comics characters, etc. But I think this needs to be on a higher level and to address all of the cruft. I refuse to even go near a Transformers article, and I find I am thwarted in trying to reduce plot summaries to a fair-use level by editors who WP:OWN the articles and desperately want minutiae in the synopses. My understanding of the purpose of plot synopses is that give a general explanation of the plot, nothing too detailed. Character moments, planning scenes, etc, do not belong in these, among other things. Any sort of detail deemed important that does not pertain to the actual plot of the series needs to go in another section for cited analysis, where their value can be judged aside from being a part of the story. I will take a look at what we have. I am a little tired right now, and my thoughts are scrambled, but I would like to work on this with you. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 09:01, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Final Warning

If you, Acalamari, or Chris continue to leave messages on my page I'm going to report you for harrassment and have YOU removed from Misplaced Pages. Now Chris launched the first personal attack on me. If he wants to dish it out and go against the big girls, he better be prepared for what he receives in return. Instead, he goes crying to his WikiFriends, who are under the delusion that they are administrators, and leave messages on my page. Obviously your purpose in life is to make sure that no one vandalizes Misplaced Pages (which includes misspelling words and things like that). I realize it makes you feel so important, almost like you had a REAL life!

Actually, I don't go crying to my WikiFriends, they take care of me here because I pay them, just as I pay my "friends" in real life. But you're right: You're attention does make me feel important. I have never been the object of someone's obsession like this before. I think I'm falling for you and I want to hug you and build a snowman together. Please cuddle with me. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 09:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I know he pays me with hats made out of money. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Studio 60 is critically acclaimed

The show is critically acclaimed, it's clear that you have a problem with it, but take an important inforetion isn't a nice thing to do.

I don't know what you were trying to say. I love Studio 60. Check the article's talk page. The article is maintained by people who love the show, but they don't want that phrase in there and have been removing it for about a month and a half. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 22:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that insert. I'd have done it myself on the last edit, had I known it could be done. Claude 22:34, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

My request for adminship has closed successfully (79/0/1), so it appears that I am now an administrator. Thanks very much for your vote of confidence. If there's anything I can ever do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know. IrishGuy 02:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Template: Justice Society of America

Chris what do you think of the changes I've made to the template? Brian Boru is awesome 15:09, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Thought you'd be amused...

...that I was the fine recipient of a Rey 'Multitasker' Alfarez vandalism myself just before his block took place. Unbelievable! What goes through people's heads??!!

Hope you're doing well with your Columbia plans. Stay good, -- Tenebrae 17:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Request for Comment

There's been a Request for Comment initiated at Talk:John Buscema#Request for Comment: NPOV and images, concerning a dispute over alleged violations and which includes links to two versions of an article, for comparison.

You're a regular and diligent contributor to WikiProject Comics, and so might be a knowledgeable and disinterested party who could add an informed opinion. --Tenebrae 17:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
