Corey Worthington?
Hi Daniel, I see you deleted the Corey Worthington article. I think it's arguably notable, considering the amount of news articles and such for him. Thoughts? --AW (talk) 19:50, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- No, per Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2008 January 15 and this ruling. To recreate this article requires an explicit consensus to do so, something which doesn't exist at the moment. Daniel (talk) 01:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Wait...Corey W = Corey D? dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 01:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah. Step-parents and all that. "Corey Delaney, also known by his birth name Corey Worthington", according to the always-reliable resource Enyclcopedia Dramatica. Daniel (talk) 01:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, at least they have an article on him ;) dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 01:31, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- ED is like ACA - things that are featured on there rarely deserve articles over here, like your comment in the AfD. One could argue they compliment our gaps, in a strange encycopedia-to-non-encyclopedia kind of way :) Daniel (talk) 01:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

RfA
I am not one for sending round pretty pictures, but after my recent RfA, which passed 68/1/7, I am now relaxed and this is to thank you for your comments, which I will take on board. I look forward to wielding the mop with alacrity. Or two lacrities. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 21:43, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm sure you're sorry now.
I have nothing to say. --Gp75motorsports 03:01, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Your message proves my point. This isn't about me, and don't try and make it about me — the issue is about your editing, not mine. Daniel (talk) 03:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have to agree with Daniel. "Good editors", which you call yourself, actually do good edits. Your good edits are few and far between. Metros (talk) 03:07, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well excuse me for trying to look good. The point of the message is to point out the fact that I suck as an editor and the site would probably be better off without me. Thanks for shoving what could be my final few minutes here in my face, Metros. I needed that. The ultimate vandal, I am. --Gp75motorsports 03:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) The whole "legendary" complex, and wanting to be like RickK, doesn't do you any favours either. Daniel (talk) 03:13, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well if I could get adopted without getting BLOCKED and being FORCED to suck ass and have the community hate me, that would be nice. Come on guys, I've got Aspergers syndrome and Misplaced Pages is one of my utopias from the ridicule of my classmates. --Gp75motorsports 03:16, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages is not therapy. We're here to write an encyclopedia, and quite frankly, that is the only true consideration. People are free to edit on Misplaced Pages regardless of their medical status, provided they stay within the rules, respect consensus, and aren't disruptive. However, their medical condition is no excuse should they break these rules. Daniel (talk) 03:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- (ec) And I've got depression and I don't take it out on Misplaced Pages. It's not therapy. It's a project. Which means you need to work with people, not suffer from persecution complex at every turn. I'm sorry if I sound insensitive, but that's the way it is. ~ Riana ⁂ 03:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- I agree with Riana, especially with the depression part. I'm also suffering from depression, but I still try to build an encyclopedia. (If I'm being uncivil here, but) Guess what? Even though I'm topic-banned, I don't care. OK? All I do is just improve mainspace, talk, and help users (I'm a little bit over right now), and a few exemptions on my talk page. OK? Deal with it. If you can't, leave and come back as an RTV user, but I don't recommend it. When I first left, I came back, and the first person to see me back was GlassCobra, and had to make a big deal out of it. And what about a 1-second block? —BoL 04:04, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm telling you all I need to do is be adopted by someone and I'll be good. Unfortunatley a stupid little ban which breaks the United States Constitution prevents me from being adopted. And not to drag him into this, but how come BoL, who is under the same topic ban as I, report users while I can't?! my friend Greenwood1010 is right: "Welcome to the People's Communist Republic of Misplaced Pages, where power-hungry admins watch everything you do." --Gp75motorsports 03:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- You are really asking for trouble making comments like that. See WP:RIGHTS about your pathetic "Constitution" argument. And Blow of Light is far less disruptive and far more productive in mainspace compared to you, so quite frankly there is no comparison between the two. He doesn't act like you do when someone tells him that he shouldn't be doing something because of a ban implemented by community consensus, but takes on the advice. As Riana says, drop the persecution complex. Daniel (talk) 03:28, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- If you feel so strongly about Misplaced Pages being wrong here's a suggestion. In the top right hand corner of this screen is a link that says "log out". Click it. Then go to Google, Yahoo, your local newspaper. Any website that isn't here. And don't return. If you feel THAT strongly that we're all out to get you, why bother with it?

Come on guys, can someone please help him find someone to adopt him? It's a little harsh following the letter of his topic ban when he just wants some help with his editing. Ryan Postlethwaite 03:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- No, Ryan, he's proven himself that no matter what he does in Misplaced Pages-space, including vandal-reverting, he creates more disruption. If he wants to stand toe-to-toe with me and start spraying shit in my direction, then I'm not going to hesitate back. Daniel (talk) 03:31, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- erm, all I was asking was for you to help him be adopted, like he's just asked. Ryan Postlethwaite 03:36, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- He wants to be adopted so he can "fight" vandals, which part of the idea of the community ban was to lose this whole nonsensical "battle" complex (see the discussion which led to the ban). You don't need a coach to edit articles, in my opinion. However, if he wants to get a coach, fine, he can do it on people's user talk pages (which he is allowed to edit), but comments like the ones in this thread, this, this, and this will just continue his problems. He doesn't want users to mention the fact that he's under community-based topic bans, yet continues to flaunt the terms of the topic ban. Daniel (talk) 03:40, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- I gave him what I think is pretty good advice about how to be more productive at Misplaced Pages. His first reply was to tell me that he was very tunnel visioned and couldn't contribute more. After advising him to try and track down sources for articles, he replied that he was too busy racing cars and writing a novel to source articles. Seeing as I'm fairly certain he's a kid and not a race car driving novelist, I've pretty much written him off. He's unwilling to contribute, unwilling to find sources, and not that great at vandal fighting. I really don't know what advice a mentor would give him that I already haven't... and the drama level is just ridiculous. AniMate 03:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- That was the rationale for the community restriction — the most nonsensical part was his response to being limited to contributing to articles, which was described by him as "gnomish shit". The responses at the discussion say it all. Daniel (talk) 03:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- He needs to leave or not leave and shut up. We already have enough drama whores on Misplaced Pages. John Reaves 05:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Just take it anyway.
