"HE KILLED A GUY", ad nauseam ;)
FYI, I've added something to the WP:AIV "complex" page about this whole weird business. Hopefully somebody more l33t than myself can do something soon. Yansa 05:06, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. It appears that Dalip Singh really did KILL A GUY!!!, though. Holy mackerel. : ) dbtfz 05:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Tawkerbot2
What I think happened was in the split second before the bot grabbed the page you reverted and it grabbed the wrong text. Sorry about that, I'll see what I can do to stop that (that's the first time I think I've seen that happen) -- Tawker 05:12, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Cool, thanks. dbtfz 05:17, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Please read Misplaced Pages:Proposed deletion#What this process is NOT for. You are not supposed to replace the tag once it's removed. The article is now listed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Chris Busse. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 10:44, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Ooops. I knew that, but I kinda sorta forgot, I guess. dbtfz 16:09, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

RE:LZ Clean up
All the music pages are spammed to death. I am quietly trying to weed out the fluff. I need to be more strict with myself though. WP:EL...by the rule...would mean the loss of links to pages like Electric Magic and Achilles Last Stand. Both are pages that have been around for years and have a decent amount of integrity. But, rules are rules. <sigh> I just didn't have the heart to hack 'em myself. All in due time , I guess. Take care! Anger22 03:22, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, occasionally fan sites are really good, reliable sources of information - sometimes even better than the official sites. But usually they're just spam and should be zapped with extreme prejudice. :) dbtfz 03:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Sharting
Hi. I moved the "sharting" content back to Sharting and redirected Shitting oneself to Fecal incontinence. That just seemed more appropriate to me. Of course, you should feel free to change it back if you feel differently. Believe me, I'm not trying to pick a fight over this. That would truly be the lamest edit war ever. :-) P.S. "I sharted!" dbtfz 15:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- I think it's good stuff, but I am concerned that if the page isn't allowed some room for expansion, then it could be be deleted the same as its predecessor at Shart. See also Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Shart (The result of the debate was Speedy delete as A 5 (was already deleted 3 times before)) and the Shart entry at wiktionary. Ewlyahoocom 02:59, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- It's a real phenomenon that everyone has experienced, but people generally don't talk about it, so it's hard to find respectable sources. As far as I know, "shart" is the first and only succinct term for it. I think that even the current stub goes beyond a dicdef in providing cultural context. It's one of the things that the most recent Oscar winner for Best Actor is most famous for. (Sad, perhaps, but true.) The article could be expanded by, e.g., providing some explanation of the physiological conditions that lead to sharting. I believe Charles Bukowski may have discussed sharting at some point in his writing (though he wouldn't have used that term for it). Also, I'm pretty sure Howard Stern has discussed the phenomenon at length on his radio show. These things could be covered in the article. I suppose the current content could be moved to a section of Fecal incontinence, but that's a very "serious" article and sharting is kind of silly (though it's very serious business if it happens to you in a public place). dbtfz 04:12, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- P.S. I'm going to post this discussion on the talk page for Sharting. Any further discussion on this should take place there, so other sharters can have easy access to it. dbtfz 04:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

AfD
Hey - thanks, I got distracted and missed the third step. I don't want to seem rude - I see you've done some great things for wikipedia. Cheers! --Matt 03:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- No worries -- I make it a point not to take the stuff I do here too seriously or take criticism personally. I'm actually genuinely curious to see what others think of those lists. I think they're reasonably notable and interesting, but I'm biased of course, having created them myself. :-) dbtfz 03:35, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Awwww....
Until now I thought I was the only person who'd put an elephant crushing a guy on his userpage. We both quote Manchurian Candidate too... CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 04:03, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- I guess great (or, in my case, mediocre) minds think alike. At least we have different elephants. By the way, I hadn't seen Evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet until I just checked out your user page. Best. Article title. Ever. That's what I love about Misplaced Pages. You'd never see that in Encyclopedia Britannica. :-) dbtfz 04:14, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey
Was uncalled for. Please read WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA. --Doc 22:13, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Check who I was actually referring to as a "moron." ;-) dbtfz 22:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- OK, sorry. But perhaps you need to make the self-deprication a little more obvious. It didn't occur to me it was a self-reference. --Doc 22:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- You're right, of course. I was just being a little mischievous. :-) dbtfz 22:29, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.1 is Now Available For Download
Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks.

Crop circles
I have been attempting to factualize the Misplaced Pages page about the Crop Circle phenomenon, and the page keeps being reset to the extremely uninformed and ridicule-laden misrepresentation that has been polluting the Misplaced Pages propject for quite some time now. I have been doing my part to help rectify this problem, having looked deeply into the subject over several years, including field work and interviews with scientists and other long-term researchers. As I see it, there are 2 possibilities to explain the long-standing Misplaced Pages Crop Circle piece: 1) ignorance, perhaps acquired through "official story" channels such as Fox news etc, 2) intentional disinfo intended to steer attention away from the subject. Do you have any advice for me? THANKS -- steve —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stvjns (talk • contribs) .
- Yes. Discuss it on the talk page of the article. I have no interest in this issue. dbtfz 20:40, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Alex Duerre is not speediable
Dbtfz, you tagged Alex Duerre for deletion, but it is not speedy-deletable, because the article does assert the notability of the individual: the assertion is that he was recognized by Congress for bravery. That does not mean that it is necessarily a valid assertion, but does mean that it cannot be deleted without further discussion. If you believe the article should be deleted, you should list it for deletion at WP:AFD (where it will most likely be deleted). Truly, JDoorjam Talk 04:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Oops, my mistake. Thanks for the notice. dbtfz 04:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
