2008-03-04 00:56 < Ceiling_Cat> at the end of WWII
2008-03-04 00:56 < Ceiling_Cat> but apparently the soviets found the full copy
2008-03-04 00:56 < Krimpet> is it true that goebbles had noebbels? :o
2008-03-04 00:56 < Ceiling_Cat> and kept it in their archives until 1992
2008-03-04 00:56 * FastLizard4|busy notes that Ceiling_Cat is not on Skype
2008-03-04 00:57 < FastLizard4|busy> !bAH
2008-03-04 00:57 < Ceiling_Cat> So I was searching the internet
2008-03-04 00:57 * tawker laughs at the "better organized cousins" - I sure as all hope that wasn't a reference to wikipedia weekly :D
2008-03-04 00:57 < FastLizard4|busy> Our servers are currently experiencing a technical problem. This is probably temporary and should be fixed soon. Please try again in a few minutes.
2008-03-04 00:57 < Ceiling_Cat> I need the Goebbels entry for Feb 1, 1941
2008-03-04 00:57 * FastLizard4|busy runs off to #mediawiki
2008-03-04 00:57 < Ceiling_Cat> the book I'
2008-03-04 00:57 < Ceiling_Cat> I'm reading says he talks about how the Japanese navy was better than the American navy
2008-03-04 00:57 < FastLizard4|busy> rather, #wikimedia
2008-03-04 00:57 < Lubaf> Ceiling_Cat: You could just get in Deutch, and hit up the Babelfish.
2008-03-04 00:57 < privatemusings> i see david irving has been involved with the diaries...
2008-03-04 00:58 < privatemusings> there's a free download of his book...
2008-03-04 00:58 < privatemusings> but you know about him, right?
2008-03-04 00:58 < privatemusings> http://www.fpp.co.uk/bookchapters/JG/index.html
2008-03-04 00:58 < privatemusings> actually, don't click there
2008-03-04 00:58 < privatemusings> it's complete crap. sorry.
2008-03-04 00:59 < Lubaf> privatemusings: Nah, it's plausible for Goebbles to that the Japanese navy was better than the USA's.
2008-03-04 00:59 < Mike_H> privatemusings: read my new article!
2008-03-04 00:59 < privatemusings> lubaf - sure - I don't dispute that at all...
2008-03-04 00:59 < privatemusings> just that particular webpage I linked to
2008-03-04 00:59 < privatemusings> it's crap.
2008-03-04 00:59 < Mike_H> privatemusings: read my new article :<
2008-03-04 00:59 < privatemusings> mike - where?
2008-03-04 00:59 < Mike_H> [[omg!]]
2008-03-04 01:00 < privatemusings> reading!
2008-03-04 01:01 < privatemusings> do you want to mention the dicdef in the lead too?
2008-03-04 01:01 < privatemusings> oh yeah..
2008-03-04 01:01 < privatemusings> you do!
2008-03-04 01:02 < Krimpet> Mike_H: I've added it to the disambiguation at [[OMG]]. ;)
2008-03-04 01:02 < Mike_H> Krimpet: I just did too
2008-03-04 01:02 < Mike_H> hahaha
2008-03-04 01:02 < privatemusings> yup - it's in there twice!
2008-03-04 01:02 < Mike_H> * Oh My God, commonly abbreviated (slang) to OMG (or ZOMG) as an Internet slang phrase.
2008-03-04 01:02 < Mike_H> * omg!, a celebrity news and gossip website run by Yahoo! News

2008-03-04 01:02 < Mike_H> # Online multiplayer game
2008-03-04 01:03 < privatemusings> you chose different wiki links though....
2008-03-04 01:03 < Mike_H> done
2008-03-04 01:03 < Mike_H> removed it
2008-03-04 01:03 < Krimpet> I'm surprised we didn't get an edit conflict?
2008-03-04 01:03 * FastLizard4|busy feels the need to do something really random
2008-03-04 01:03 < Ceiling_Cat> anyone have a DVD or some other electroni copy of The Last Mimzy?
2008-03-04 01:03 < Mike_H> privatemusings: what?
2008-03-04 01:03 < Ceiling_Cat> I want a screen-cap to illustrate my claims that they ripped me off and copied my wikipedia work without attribution
2008-03-04 01:04 < Ceiling_Cat> to use in that movie
2008-03-04 01:04 < Krimpet> Ceiling_Cat: they did? what did they rip off?
2008-03-04 01:04 < privatemusings> did you check the entire credits?
2008-03-04 01:04 < Ceiling_Cat> privatemusings - yes
2008-03-04 01:04 < L33t_Geek> is an admin in?
2008-03-04 01:04 < privatemusings> sue 'em!
2008-03-04 01:04 < Ceiling_Cat> Krimpet - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom/Suggestions#Movie_copies_from_Wikipedia_DNA_article
2008-03-04 01:04 < Ceiling_Cat> L33t_Geek - lots
2008-03-04 01:04 < Krimpet> wow
2008-03-04 01:05 < L33t_Geek> I need one to look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:L33t-Geek there is a slight issue that I would like some clairification on
2008-03-04 01:06 < kmccoy> Ceiling_Cat, I had a movie producer email me and ask for permission to use one of my images. Sucks to have it used without permission or proper credit.
2008-03-04 01:06 < Krimpet> since it's explicitly GFDL, as opposed to say CC, does this mean legally the whole movie would have to be GFDL'd?
2008-03-04 01:07 < FastLizard4|busy> L33t_Geek: Were you using multiple accounts to edit Wikipedia?
2008-03-04 01:07 < Ceiling_Cat> FastLizard4|busy - it appears he was editing while logged out
2008-03-04 01:08 < L33t_Geek> an IP then I got an account
2008-03-04 01:08 < FastLizard4|busy> L33t_Geek: Well, you were blocked for a 3RR violation, not much you can do there
2008-03-04 01:08 < OverlordQ> Ceiling_Cat: Sick the attack dogs on them
2008-03-04 01:08 < Ceiling_Cat> OverlordQ - well, to be fair, the article was Kent Hovind
2008-03-04 01:08 < L33t_Geek> I see well I was just putting back a tage that kept getting removed is all
2008-03-04 01:09 < OverlordQ> no I meant in regards to the pictures
2008-03-04 01:09 < L33t_Geek> oh the Ifd thing?
2008-03-04 01:09 < OverlordQ> the DNA pics that is
2008-03-04 01:10 < tawker> hmm
2008-03-04 01:10 < tawker> still no license on that picture
2008-03-04 01:10 < FastLizard4|busy> L33t_Geek: You are at fault, becuase you added tags to the image when innapropriate, then proceeded to violate the 3RR by readding them
2008-03-04 01:10 * tawker has a friend whose wikipics are constantly being used on a tv newscast
2008-03-04 01:10 < FastLizard4|busy> I see a valid source, valid copyright tags, valid FURG, it is used in an article
2008-03-04 01:10 < Ceiling_Cat> OverlordQ - ah
2008-03-04 01:11 < Ceiling_Cat> well, I'm honestly confused as to what to do
2008-03-04 01:11 < L33t_Geek> i was tyring to help cuz it is copyrighted
2008-03-04 01:11 < Ceiling_Cat> I don't want to sue them, or deter them from using wikipedia in the future
2008-03-04 01:11 < Ceiling_Cat> I just want them to be nice and follow the license
2008-03-04 01:11 < Mike_H> Ceiling_Cat: I used that "articles you created" tool
2008-03-04 01:11 < Mike_H> I told people "i've created at least 2000!"
2008-03-04 01:11 < Mike_H> I've created 887
2008-03-04 01:11 < Mike_H> very underwhelming
2008-03-04 01:11 < Ceiling_Cat> Mike_H - which one?
2008-03-04 01:12 < Mike_H> I don't have the link anymore
2008-03-04 01:12 * Ceiling_Cat is not aware of any such tool
2008-03-04 01:12 * privatemusings thinks ceiling cat should send a firm but fair email
2008-03-04 01:12 * tawker would make a youtube video
2008-03-04 01:12 < FastLizard4|busy> L33t_Geek: However, it has all the things it requires for acceptable use on Wikipedia
2008-03-04 01:13 < tawker> w/ "sueing papers"
2008-03-04 01:13 < tawker> like the i have a crush on hillary guy
2008-03-04 01:13 < privatemusings> you might have to be a bit of a squeaky wheel - but you'll get an amicable outcome in the end, I reckon....
2008-03-04 01:13 < L33t_Geek> well I didn't know i'm still kinda new to wikipedia
2008-03-04 01:13 < FastLizard4|busy> L33t_Geek: Before doing *anything* on Wikipedia, you should read all applicable guidelines to avoid this sort of conflict.
2008-03-04 01:14 < L33t_Geek> apparently
2008-03-04 01:14 < FastLizard4|busy> I would like an available admin to look at [[User talk:L33t-Geek]]
2008-03-04 01:14 < OverlordQ> Ceiling_Cat: Tell them you'll give them a license for a cut of dvd sales :P
2008-03-04 01:14 < Ceiling_Cat> teeheee
2008-03-04 01:15 < privatemusings> could they argue that that image isn't copyrightable?
2008-03-04 01:15 < privatemusings> they may have received that advice....
2008-03-04 01:15 < Ceiling_Cat> uh, I created it myself, from scratch, in inkscape
2008-03-04 01:15 < Ceiling_Cat> I think they would have a hard time arguing it cannot be copyrighted
2008-03-04 01:15 < Ceiling_Cat> especially consdiering that even silence qualifies for copyright
2008-03-04 01:16 < privatemusings> in which case I'd assume a good faith mistake, and at the very least they'll probably through you a goody bag or two..
2008-03-04 01:16 < Ceiling_Cat> (see [[4'33"]])
2008-03-04 01:16 < privatemusings> which studio is it?
2008-03-04 01:16 < Ceiling_Cat> New Line Cinema
2008-03-04 01:16 < privatemusings> go for the lord of the rings box set then....
2008-03-04 01:23 < Jmax> Ceiling_Cat: you here, raul?
2008-03-04 01:23 < Ceiling_Cat> I am
2008-03-04 01:23 < Ceiling_Cat> that I am
2008-03-04 01:25 < Ceiling_Cat> just out of curiosity, are there any ops in this channel who will be here a while?
2008-03-04 01:25 < tawker> umm
2008-03-04 01:25 < tawker> i'll be here an hour or so
2008-03-04 01:25 < Ceiling_Cat> ok
2008-03-04 01:26 < tawker> why, do you want me to joke kick you Ceiling_Cat?
2008-03-04 01:26 < Luna-San> Joke kicks have no pizzaz. I thought it's all about joke autorems, these days.
2008-03-04 01:27 < Jmax> hold on... looking for the edit.
2008-03-04 01:28 < Ceiling_Cat> goodnight all!
2008-03-04 01:28 < Ral315> I assume I'm still an op, and I'll be around a while.
2008-03-04 01:28 < Jmax> nn raul
2008-03-04 01:34 * Werdna waves

2008-03-04 01:42 * FastLizard4|busy is now going to bed, good night!
2008-03-04 02:19 < cat> 100GB 8MB 5400 2.5 PATA EXTERNAL RETA = 100gb external hard drive?
2008-03-04 02:35 < Jmax> 2.5 == 2.5in
2008-03-04 02:35 < Jmax> external would make me think it's external yeah
2008-03-04 02:35 < Jmax> but dunno what RETA means
2008-03-04 02:36 < Luna-San> Neither does Google.
2008-03-04 02:37 < Jmax> 100GB would be 100 billion byte capacity (before FS), and 8MB would be the cache, 5400 RPM of course, 2.5in, PATA interface (IDE), external, ???
2008-03-04 02:38 < Luna-San> *nod* Makes sense, so far.
2008-03-04 02:40 < Luna-San> Hmm... it might be short for "retail" -- some of the search results I'm turning up seem to imply that, and they all also end with RETA, almost like they got cut off by a length limit or something.
2008-03-04 02:42 < Jmax> ahh yeah, probably retail
2008-03-04 02:42 < Jmax> as in comes with pacakaging

2008-03-04 03:29 < Lady_Aleena> I was hoping not to have to do that.
2008-03-04 03:29 < Luna-San> Ah. >.>

2008-03-04 03:30 < Luna-San> And I missed a "the" in there, someplace.
2008-03-04 03:35 < AppleBoy> well that wasn't at all odd
2008-03-04 03:35 < AppleBoy> I just opened up the video feed to my horses' stall (she's havy a baby any day) and she was taking a piss right in front of the camera

2008-03-04 03:40 < Mike_H> lulz exploded
2008-03-04 03:40 < DannyLilithborne> why is poor Shel Silverstein's article so frequently vandalized
2008-03-04 03:41 < Mike_H> DannyLilithborne: Because people think they can make the sidewalk not end
2008-03-04 03:41 < DannyLilithborne> and that they can put out the light in the attic?
2008-03-04 03:41 < zocky> i missed lulz? :(
2008-03-04 03:41 < DannyLilithborne> well they're still gonna die

2008-03-04 03:42 < Mike_H> That's a headline on today's New York Post.
2008-03-04 03:42 < Pumpmeup_> wtf? "Pumpmeup" nick is in use... but coming from my IP?
2008-03-04 03:42 < AdamBishop> I hate Rachel Marsden

2008-03-04 03:42 < DannyLilithborne> AdamBishop: what for?
2008-03-04 03:43 < Mike_H> It's Jimmy's fault he got involved with a ho, not hers.
2008-03-04 03:43 < zocky> ok, I need to stop playing random radio stations from the interwebz
2008-03-04 03:43 < DannyLilithborne> lulz
2008-03-04 03:43 < AdamBishop> I don't know, no reason I guess. I just always have
2008-03-04 03:43 < AdamBishop> she's a horrible columnist
2008-03-04 03:43 < Mike_H> More horrible than Jeanne Beker?
2008-03-04 03:43 * zocky NP: I don't know what, but the song goes: "We worship you, We worship you, We worship you, Christ the lord"
2008-03-04 03:43 < Pumpmeup> Thanks E, helpful as always :-D
2008-03-04 03:43 < TheLetterE> Pumpmeup: :)
2008-03-04 03:43 < TheLetterE> No problems
2008-03-04 03:43 < AdamBishop> she's like Ann Coulter, but worse, because she actually tries to be like Ann Coulter
2008-03-04 03:44 < AdamBishop> whereas Ann Coulter is naturally Ann Coulter
2008-03-04 03:44 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: I wonder how an Ann Coulter-esque columnist would work in Jeanne Beker's field
2008-03-04 03:44 < Mike_H> "This fashion is just communist and endangering Canada's youth!"
2008-03-04 03:44 < DannyLilithborne> better to fail at being Ann Coulter than to succeed at being Ann Coulter
2008-03-04 04:04 < AdamBishop> "Vivien Leigh reportedly stated that she did not like kissing Clark Gable citing his breath smelled foul due to his bad breath."
2008-03-04 04:05 < AdamBishop> what an odd sentence
2008-03-04 04:05 < OverlordQ> O_o
2008-03-04 04:07 < Pumpmeup> TheLetterE: Thanks for that block :-)
2008-03-04 04:08 < TheLetterE> Pumpmeup: No problems, they give me the shits.
2008-03-04 04:08 < Pumpmeup> TheLetterE: yeah, small things amuse small minds I guess
2008-03-04 04:08 < TheLetterE> zero1328: Hey
2008-03-04 04:08 < zero1328> g'evening
2008-03-04 04:08 < TheLetterE> Pumpmeup: Yes, indeed.
2008-03-04 04:11 < DannyLilithborne> you know, don't anyone kill me or anything, but why are there so many articles being created about football players?
2008-03-04 04:12 < zero1328> American football or European football?
2008-03-04 04:12 < Aqwis> why not?
2008-03-04 04:12 < zero1328> ah, either wya I still have no idea
2008-03-04 04:12 < Aqwis> why apply different N rules to football players than other people?
2008-03-04 04:12 < Kamping_Kaiser> thier less interesting? ;)
2008-03-04 04:13 < Aqwis> ;|
2008-03-04 04:13 < AdamBishop> why are there articles being written about anything
2008-03-04 04:13 < AdamBishop> because stupid teenagers are the biggest internet demographic
2008-03-04 04:13 < DannyLilithborne> European ^_^
2008-03-04 04:14 < Aqwis> because they are notable according to WP:N
2008-03-04 04:14 < Aqwis> don't try applying different rules to footballers just because youdon'tlikeit
2008-03-04 04:15 < DannyLilithborne> notable players are fine but do we need an article on any guy who ever appeared in one game in an FC?
2008-03-04 04:16 < Aqwis> if they're not notable they can be deleted like any other person
2008-03-04 04:17 < DannyLilithborne> meh, i'm just wondering what motivates people to do it
2008-03-04 04:17 < Luna-San> s/person/article/ :O
2008-03-04 04:17 < DannyLilithborne> i'm not gonna try and get em deleted
2008-03-04 04:18 < Kamping_Kaiser> Luna-San, :D
2008-03-04 04:18 < Aqwis> what motivates people to create other articles?
2008-03-04 04:18 < Aqwis> there are lots of people interested in football
2008-03-04 04:18 < Aqwis> they create articles on players
2008-03-04 04:18 < Aqwis> etc?
2008-03-04 04:19 < Kamping_Kaiser> there isnt a page on every ubuntu member though (for example). i'm sure they would get deleted as not important enough *shrug*
2008-03-04 04:19 < Aqwis> ubuntu member?
2008-03-04 04:19 < Aqwis> you mean ubuntu linux developer?
2008-03-04 04:19 < AdamBishop> there are articles on Naruto on the Latin Wikipedia
2008-03-04 04:19 < Aqwis> it's pretty obvious that a footballer who participates in matches that get reported in several newspapers are more notable than some random ubuntu dev
2008-03-04 04:20 < DannyLilithborne> AdamBishop: that's... something i wish i could *un*know
2008-03-04 04:20 < Kamping_Kaiser> i'm refering to anyone who you see on irc with @ubuntu/member/ in their cloak
2008-03-04 04:21 < Aqwis> and those are even less notable
2008-03-04 04:22 < Kamping_Kaiser> then "any guy who ever appeared in one game in an FC?" ? doubt it. (but thats IMHO of course)
2008-03-04 04:23 < DannyLilithborne> well, i'm interested in fighting games, i don't create articles on every character ever to appear in one
2008-03-04 04:23 < mavhc> shouldn't uniqueness count for something?
2008-03-04 04:23 < Aqwis> DannyLilithborne, the fact is football is a far far more popular sport than "fighting games" and thus there are far more players who fullfill WP:N
2008-03-04 04:24 * Luna-San moves [[Chun Li]] to [[Hurricaaaaaane KICK!]]
2008-03-04 04:24 < Kamping_Kaiser> what is wp:n? (specifically :N?)
2008-03-04 04:24 < Aqwis> Wikipedia:Notability
2008-03-04 04:24 < Kamping_Kaiser> ah right
2008-03-04 04:25 < Aqwis> afk
2008-03-04 04:26 < DannyLilithborne> i don't know if that guy got what i was trying to say

2008-03-04 06:23 < zero1328> I need two minutes of advice from someone right now, what I'm asking isn't relevant to Wikipedia though
2008-03-04 06:23 < zero1328> I really don't have anyone else to ask <.<
2008-03-04 06:24 < Aqwis2> go on
2008-03-04 06:24 < zero1328> I enrolled late, into a course last week. There are 5-7 assessments this week. My sleep shedule was immediately disrupted last week, and I am very fatigued.. it's very late at night right now
2008-03-04 06:24 < zero1328> so, stay home tomorrow, or not?
2008-03-04 06:26 < zero1328> My sleep schedule was disrupted as I have to get up at 6AM for commute, and it was fairly sudden.. don't ask about why I enrolled late
2008-03-04 06:31 < zero1328> great, silence
2008-03-04 06:36 < zero1328> ok, thanks your silence has been not helpful one bit..

2008-03-04 08:02 < dtobias> s amusing.
2008-03-04 08:02 < Aqwis> he'll just have to wait
2008-03-04 08:02 < bumm13> that in itself is subjective :P
2008-03-04 08:03 < cat> dtobias: please post more of that in here

2008-03-04 08:03 < cat> dtobias: is that real?
2008-03-04 08:04 < dtobias> I don't know if the $12,100 bid is legit, but that's apparently really posted by Jimbo's ex-girlfriend.

2008-03-04 08:05 < bumm13> :o
2008-03-04 08:06 < bumm13> "beard" in the context of relationships sometimes means "fake girlfriend/wife to dispel rumors of a man being homosexual"
2008-03-04 08:07 * bumm13 is rather certain that that definition wouldn't apply in this case

2008-03-04 08:38 < AAA^> ...
2008-03-04 08:39 < AAA^> anyway
2008-03-04 08:39 < AAA^> should this be semi-protected for a while? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=DreamWorks_Animation&action=history
2008-03-04 08:39 < AndonicO> AAA^: Doesn't matter if it's IP addresses.
2008-03-04 08:39 < AndonicO> Let me check.
2008-03-04 08:40 < AAA^> anyway, i've given the IP an only warning
2008-03-04 08:41 < AAA^> the latest, that is
2008-03-04 08:41 < AndonicO> No... change to a uw-spam2.
2008-03-04 08:42 < AndonicO> Only warning is far too strong for a user who's only made good contributions up until now.
2008-03-04 08:42 < AndonicO> Actually, make it uw-spam1.
2008-03-04 08:43 < AAA^> i dunno
2008-03-04 08:43 < AAA^> other IPs got only warning for that
2008-03-04 08:43 < AAA^> and it's likely sockpuppetry
2008-03-04 08:43 < AAA^> and i think vandalism is better
2008-03-04 08:43 < AndonicO> An IP address can't be a sock.
2008-03-04 08:44 < AAA^> whatever
2008-03-04 08:44 < AAA^> but you know what i mean
2008-03-04 08:44 < AndonicO> They can be used for ban evasion.
2008-03-04 08:44 < AAA^> should uw-v2 work?
2008-03-04 08:44 < AndonicO> But is that the case?
2008-03-04 08:44 < AndonicO> That depends.
2008-03-04 08:44 < AndonicO> Sec...
2008-03-04 08:44 < AAA^> it's more vandalism than span
2008-03-04 08:44 < AAA^> *spam
2008-03-04 08:45 < AndonicO> Wait, what other IPs got an only warning for that?
2008-03-04 08:45 < AAA^> check history of the article
2008-03-04 08:46 < AndonicO> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:209.247.5.81 This one?
2008-03-04 08:46 < AAA^> AndonicO: here's one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:209.247.5.81
2008-03-04 08:46 < AAA^> yeah, sure...
2008-03-04 08:46 < AndonicO> That was an appropriate only warning, he'd been warned (actually, should have been a last warning, but meh).
2008-03-04 08:46 < AndonicO> He'd even been blocked.
2008-03-04 08:46 < AAA^> either way, i've toned it down to uw-v2
2008-03-04 08:46 < AAA^> also, are you an admin?
2008-03-04 08:47 < AndonicO> Yes, but not relevant because he shouldn't be blocked...
2008-03-04 08:47 < AAA^> no, not that
2008-03-04 08:47 < AndonicO> uw-v2 is okay.
2008-03-04 08:47 < AAA^> should the article be semi-protected for a while?
2008-03-04 08:47 * cat dresses AAA^ up as a pirate
2008-03-04 08:47 < AAA^> since it's multiple articles

2008-03-04 08:47 < AndonicO> No, too few vandalous edits.

2008-03-04 08:49 < AAA^> Andonic: anyway, i don't know about too few, but i know about too long
2008-03-04 08:49 < AndonicO> Too long?
2008-03-04 08:50 < AAA^> these edits have been going on since feb 15: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=DreamWorks_Animation&diff=prev&oldid=191625368
2008-03-04 08:50 < AAA^> and it's likely to continue
2008-03-04 08:50 < AndonicO> Revert and warn then.
2008-03-04 08:50 < AndonicO> As you did just now.
2008-03-04 08:51 < AAA^> aww, but i'm too lazy
2008-03-04 08:51 < AndonicO> ...
2008-03-04 08:51 < AAA^> someone re-configure the anti-vandal bots
2008-03-04 08:52 < AAA^> also, i usually only browse WP once a day
2008-03-04 08:52 < AAA^> wait, that reminds me
2008-03-04 08:52 < AAA^> AndonicO: look at this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_UPN_Vandal
2008-03-04 08:53 < AAA^> he was a persistant vandal and puppet master who added false info to TV and movie-related articles
2008-03-04 08:53 < AAA^> started off as multiple IPs, then moving to accounts
2008-03-04 08:53 < AAA^> this DreamWorks thing is practically the same thing
2008-03-04 08:53 < AndonicO> You think its the same person?
2008-03-04 08:53 < AAA^> no, but it's practically the same situation
2008-03-04 08:54 < AndonicO> Unless it's obvious that it's him, I won't block.
2008-03-04 08:54 < AndonicO> Or protect.
2008-03-04 08:54 < AAA^> nah, he died long ago
2008-03-04 08:54 < AAA^> i'm just saying it's like him
2008-03-04 08:55 < AndonicO> K.
2008-03-04 08:55 < AAA^> this was one of the guy's first edits: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=UPN&diff=prev&oldid=95400854
2008-03-04 08:55 < AAA^> hence why we called him the "UPN Vandal"
2008-03-04 08:56 < AAA^> because he kept adding false info to the UPN article and other shows saying that UPN was returning
2008-03-04 08:56 < AAA^> but that's the past
2008-03-04 08:57 < AAA^> either way, you can see how its similar
2008-03-04 08:57 < AAA^> multiple IPs adding the same thing over and over
2008-03-04 08:57 < AndonicO> Yeah.
2008-03-04 08:57 < AAA^> wait, it may be him
2008-03-04 08:57 < AndonicO> Over a long period of time isn't worrysome though.
2008-03-04 08:57 < AAA^> not likely though, but it could be
2008-03-04 08:57 < AAA^> look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_The_UPN_Vandal
2008-03-04 08:57 < AAA^> see all those 172.x.x ranges?
2008-03-04 08:58 < AndonicO> Yeah.
2008-03-04 08:58 < AAA^> now look at these 172.x.x. ranges: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=DreamWorks_Animation&action=history
2008-03-04 08:58 < AAA^> tell me if they're similar or not
2008-03-04 08:58 < AAA^> related, even
2008-03-04 08:59 < AndonicO> Yeah, a bit similar.
2008-03-04 08:59 < AndonicO> Feel free to add {{sockpuppet|The UPN Vandal}} to their userpages.
2008-03-04 08:59 < AAA^> yeah
2008-03-04 08:59 < AAA^> but i'm not jumping to conclusions just yet
2008-03-04 09:00 < AndonicO> That just says that they're a possible sock.
2008-03-04 09:00 < AndonicO> And I know I said IPs can't be socks: but this is different than what you mentioned earlier. ;)
2008-03-04 09:01 < AAA^> god, i just don't know anymore
2008-03-04 09:01 < AndonicO> Revert-warn-ignore. <-- Final advice, and now I must go.
2008-03-04 09:01 < AndonicO> Cheers.
2008-03-04 09:04 < AAA^> the whois results against one of the latest IPs and one of his old ones are the same
2008-03-04 09:24 < NotACow> moo!
2008-03-04 09:27 < NotACow> moooop!
2008-03-04 09:28 < Riana> NotACow: it's MooRs!
2008-03-04 09:33 < NotACow> Riana: moo!
2008-03-04 09:34 < Riana> I haven't got a Seinfeld joke for that one, so OK.
2008-03-04 09:34 < AAA^> i wander if I should make a WP report about this
2008-03-04 09:39 < Anthere2> NotACow, Danny et toi etes franchement penibles... :-)
2008-03-04 09:39 < Anthere2> grumpf
2008-03-04 09:40 < NotACow> Anthere2: morning
2008-03-04 09:40 * NotACow looks around for a translator
2008-03-04 09:41 < NotACow> Anthere2: we do try :)
2008-03-04 09:41 < denelson83> Anthere2: êtes
2008-03-04 09:41 < NotACow> Anthere2: for what it's worth, you are not my target :)
2008-03-04 09:42 < denelson83> "penibles" is untranslatable
2008-03-04 09:42 < NotACow> denelson83: google translated it
2008-03-04 09:42 < NotACow> "Danny and you are frankly painful"
2008-03-04 09:43 < denelson83> painful is "douloureux"
2008-03-04 09:43 < NotACow> denelson83: i trust anthere's knowledge of french exceeds your own :)
2008-03-04 09:43 < denelson83> Well, I am FR-2
2008-03-04 09:44 < denelson83> And let me guess, Anthère is FR-N
2008-03-04 09:48 * denelson83 interprets the lack of response as a "no"
2008-03-04 09:49 < Mimsy> EN JA-1 DE-1 FR-1 ES-1 IT-1 LA-1 CY-1
2008-03-04 09:50 < bumm13> denelson83: as she's from France, I'd assume that she is FR-N ;)
2008-03-04 09:50 < denelson83> right
2008-03-04 09:50 < Baggins> bumm13, it is right to reveal a rock star's youtube account?

2008-03-04 09:51 < NotACow> like youtubers have any right to privacy
2008-03-04 09:51 < Baggins> Even if it's Pete Doherty's?

2008-03-04 09:52 < Baggins> Kate Moss's ex
2008-03-04 09:52 < Baggins> a junkie
2008-03-04 09:53 < Baggins> bumm13, i got a question tough
2008-03-04 09:53 < denelson83> "tough" is not a noun
2008-03-04 09:54 < bumm13> *though :P
2008-03-04 09:54 < bumm13> Baggins: well, ask it
2008-03-04 09:54 < Baggins> Well, i has a account
2008-03-04 09:54 < bumm13> where?
2008-03-04 09:54 < denelson83> Lemme guess, Baggins is a lolcat
2008-03-04 09:54 < Baggins> how long should i wait before editing protected talk pages?
2008-03-04 09:54 < bumm13> you can't if they're protected
2008-03-04 09:55 < Baggins> sucks

2008-03-04 10:07 < Messedrocker> adsense is tiny money, though
2008-03-04 10:07 < Messedrocker> but really it's an ingenius business model
2008-03-04 10:07 < Messedrocker> "get google money and you will be rewarded"
2008-03-04 10:07 < denelson83> ingenius? Does that mean stupid?
2008-03-04 10:08 < CharlotteWebb> i was about to comment on a certain content dispute, citing a paragraph from the [[Warren Beatty]] article as an example, but it's been removed
