[edit] re WP:ANI#Andreasegde

Heads up! re Life and Death... I almost did myself a mischief when Ultra referred to you as Andre; does that count? LessHeard vanU (talk) 15:48, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Someone once printed out posters declaring that the artist appearing that night was called "Andre Age". Say it quickly in an Austrian accent and it all makes sense. :) Also; rubbing your index finger with the other one and saying "Haitsch" (like saying the letter H) means taking the urine in Austrian, which is unfortunate for me, as you can guess. :)) --andreasegde (talk) 20:40, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
I hope you get blocked :p--Crestville (talk) 20:53, 22 May 2008 (UTC) (kidding)

You little scamp, I'll tan thee hide if you don't stop breaking the butcher's windahs.--andreasegde (talk) 21:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Tee hee hee --Crestville (talk) 21:08, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Advice needed

Sorry to disturb you, i know your busy and i hope that BS above is resolved. Im reviewing an article and im on the side of passing it, im still worried about the pros though. It just doesnt read well, feels really disjointed and drab. I reviewed it leaving suggestions, some of which were answered with a simple NO! LOL! I would like to know your thoughts on the pros/article, either on my talk page (which i would favour) or the article talk page. Here is the article. Cheers. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 05:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

It looks good to me. A few little things stood out, but you should always leave something for the reviewer.--andreasegde (talk) 09:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Cheers, thankyou ;-) --Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 14:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Toogood to be true (ha fucking ha)

Happy days! :)--Crestville (talk) 13:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Young Cresty is talking about George Smith (John Lennon), who was called George Toogood Smith, and whose page Crestville started.--andreasegde (talk) 13:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re WP:ANI#Andreasegde

I added a comment, i hope this mess gets sorted soon, i think its stupid and a waste of admin time. --Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 19:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I hope everything is sorted, this is so .... i cant think of the words to describe it! Just let it pass, if you want me to put any articles on my watchlist or if theres anything i can do, please let me know. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 18:40, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fight the good fight!

Just a few weeks ago, Ultraviolet scissor flame/Vikrant Phadkay/Paerduug dragged me to WP:ANI. His case against me was dismissed [1]. I have left a message of support for you at WP:ANI. I hope you won't let him get to you and that you won't be disheartened. The only way to deal with bullies is to face them down. You should contact User:hbdragon88 for help as he was the one who got Ultraviolet scissor flame/Vikrant Phadkay/Paerduug blocked twice from Wikipedia for being a page blanking vandal. All the best. Vonita (talk) 21:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] See what he's up to

See what he's up to [2]. He's running to Admins to stir them up against you.

Vonita (talk) 16:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Left a choice message for him! [3] lol Vonita (talk) 17:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I thank you a lot for the information. This user knows how to use the rules, and is a new kind of vandal (as I have already said on other pages). He is a menace to the very fabric of Wikipedia, and should be very closely watched.--andreasegde (talk) 20:00, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The positive vandal

OK, I've had enough of this. Will someone PLEASE tell this user (Ultraviolet scissor flame) to stop? He has had his bit of fun with Paul McCartney, but he needs to be told that this can not go on. Just look at what he is doing now... I truly believe that he has a personal bias against McCartney, and pretends to be a "newbie", but as anyone can see, he is not. This message will posted on various pages. --andreasegde (talk) 23:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I shall compose a suitable warning, but in the meantime I would request you to not add comment within the article space about Ultra! (general comments should be within the "comment out" <!-- ''comment'' --> spaces.) It is not worth it. LessHeard vanU (talk) 10:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
I have left a warning on Ultra!'s talkpage. LessHeard vanU (talk) 10:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, and I thank you.--andreasegde (talk) 12:24, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Confused...

So are you on your break, or not? Your talk page lacks a Wikibreak template, but your user page does not. Anyway, thank you for your vote on my suggestion. Please click the link, for I have added more information that may enlighten you. :-) Cheers, Kodster (heLLo) (Me did that) 02:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I suppose I am, although certain people in my immediate vicinity (at home) do not agree...--andreasegde (talk) 09:09, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay. Again, thanks for your participation in the discussion. You have swayed my opinion. However, I have a new proposition that might make the FA folks happy while not compromising the ever-important content. Cheers, Kodster (heLLo) (Me did that) 19:51, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ain't it the truth

You are not alone. Tvoz/talk 19:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Tvoz; that was a great part of the film, because Pacino/Corleone had a diabetes attack just after it, and that scene was almost as good as his silent scream at the end after his daughter died, which is (as has been said) one of the truly great acting scenes in cinema.)--andreasegde (talk) 20:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
As compared to the really awful "Dad?" that Sofia Coppola uttered in her death scene - she's a good writer and director, and she really looked the part, but that acting job made me long for Winona Ryder who was originally cast as Mary. And don't even get me started on George Hamilton vs Robert Duvall... but I agree about Pacino and in fact despite those quibbles, I thought III was a good movie, almost up to the level of I and II, and the three as a piece are unmatched. I appreciate your sweet words - I of course wouldn't mind having the admin tools to fight for peace and justice and the American way, but I don't like the way the process to get there is structured and so far haven't been moved to put myself into it. But never say never. Tvoz/talk 23:49, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry Tvoz, I composed a great answer but I had an edit conflict, which wiped my whole reply. I have to remember to copy the bloody stuff before. :(--andreasegde (talk) 21:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Paul McCartney#Co-found the Beatles

You may find this one a bit of a lulu... This is the claim that Macca was not a founder of t'Fabs, which has been taken up by somebody completely different from the last editor who was involved. During your absence (and thus not reading this) are you able to look in any of your reference books and note here or there what they say about Macca (not) being a founder of Scouse City Rollers? I believe it is up to the other chappie to provide sources that say Macca wasn't - but I wouldn't mind quoting one or two of the generally accepted authorities that supports my understanding. LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:09, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

You, dearest! I tried that, but it always wipes everything Wot I wrote. :)) I have compiled an answer to your co-found request, BTW, and it's fairly intellectual... (God help us from Andreasegde.. :))--andreasegde (talk) 21:43, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

No; God help us from university students that have a yearning for their debating societies... Did Julia Lennon and Alfred Lennon co-found Lennon? Give me a break... but "give me a sperm citation and be done with it, you cad, Sir!"... :))--andreasegde (talk) 22:12, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

As you put it, it is a double edged sword to bring philosophy such as identity theory into this. However, the argument I've been presented with is not based in proof but argument itself. If bad history is passed on rote by being unquestioned, we have only ourselves to blame at its paucity. MartinSFSA (talk) 06:49, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Well written Sir, but your history is based on opinion, not fact. Have fun. :)--andreasegde (talk) 16:40, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

"Your" being a general "you" here, I hope. I argue that history is not relative, is not a construct and exists independently as a linear non-paradoxical event/s. Accordingly, it is lost in a forest and for the main part indistinguishable from other plants. Philosophy of history has a lot to learn from philosophy of science. MartinSFSA (talk) 16:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Uhhh... you are good, Martin. :) Re: "is not a construct and exists independently as a linear non-paradoxical event/s". I'm not even going to attempt to answer that, because I'd rather walk over hot coals. Get the firelighters out. :))--andreasegde (talk) 17:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

That's cool; I'm looking forward to you refuting my claim. I've just had a score in research so go anything you think is relevant. MartinSFSA (talk) 18:35, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Good to see you back

Please brighten up your user page, its dull but your so not. ;-) --Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 01:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I put a few old photos back on, but I'm not big on putting edit counts on and articles I've started/contributed to. I have no problem with anyone else doing it on their own pages.--andreasegde (talk) 14:55, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA

That's great! I wish I could take credit for it but lets face it, you did the important work. Pat yourself on the back --Crestville (talk) 16:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 388

Well, blow me down with a feather, I'm 388 on the Nerds/people with too much time on their hands/sad gits list. Not that it impresses my landlord much, though.--andreasegde (talk) 16:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Not bad! Whats your edit count, or is that top secret? — Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 20:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

This page says 30,608. I only think of this stuff as fun facts and figures, because one edit can be just changing the Beatles to The Beatles, which I don't consider an edit at all. I was shocked at being 388, because I didn't consider myself a serious Wiki-nutcase. It's still a hobby to me.--andreasegde (talk) 09:42, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Of course, "forgetting" to sign your talkpage comment and then "correcting" the situation is a sure fire edit count inflater... ;~) Nah, what really counts is when a block of inline cites suddenly appear in the midst of a previously bare article. Thems the real juice, and you are still pretty much top to the tree in providing those edits too. LessHeard vanU (talk) 11:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Wow thats a lot! --— Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 15:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
For making 30000 amazing edits at the time of this award, all of which where obviously great. I give you this Barnstar on behalf of the community. — Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 15:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Guys, I was just putting in stuff that needed to be put in, changed, or corrected. If there was a way to count edits by bytes and not single edits, the result would be a lot different. Wait a minute, that's not a bad idea. :))--andreasegde (talk) 01:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
