Hello, Dianoga

THIS IS SERIOUS; READ IT.

Congratulations on joining ED! You probably fit into one of these categories:

1. New User
Before making your first article look over ED:101. Try checking out random articles and fixing typos, grammar and/or bullshit where you find them before trying to make a new page. To start with, make multiple small edits to different articles until you have the hang of it. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being molested by ED Sysops.
If you don't know anything about wiki formatting and code, please read ED:BASIC and the Style Guide. Take your time and start slowly.


2. Mediawiki Migrant If you're an experienced wiki user (probably from a Wikipedia offshoot) who knows how to operate, please read ED:101 for offical policy and ED:MIGRANT for tips on assimilation and basic rules.


Whichever you are, to successfully contribute to ED, please take some time to look around, note why other people get banned and don't act like they did.


Communication with other users prevents misunderstandings and can be done through talk pages, TJC and the mailing list.

If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the all new ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter.

[edit] Rotten

You cleaned that up nicely. <3 KEKEKETalk to me Listen to me. 13:22, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

  • Thanks -- wish I knew enough to expand more, but it might be okay how it is. Dianoga 13:41, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

[edit] LOL CLEANUPS

Yes ... some articles are essentially beyond help unless you actually know something about the context. Which, in many cases, I have no interest in knowing.

That said, there are articles upcoming for Article of the Now, which may contain errors of grammar, style, or god forbid, punctuation. You can zomg see them in advance by going here or here. If you have time, feel free to use the mighty power of words in whichever ways you see fit. <3 <3 <3 KEKEKETalk to me Listen to me. 15:04, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

[edit] baleetion

If something looks like shit, you can use:

  • {{links}} - for totally non-internet bullshit or nonsense
  • {{baleetion}} - for horribly written worthlessness
  • {{shit}} - for shit
  • Large, all caps edit summaries, lol

And we will hunt it down and burn it to the ground. KEKEKETalk to me Listen to me. 15:22, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

[edit] WickedPrincess

You did a great job cleaning that up. You should do the Alaska Article, if you think you are up for it *Warning: it's longer than longcat*. BTW, did you create the IMDb Template? If you did, mad props, it was long overdue. --Wierdokid182 19:43, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

[edit] my name ees veektor, I am cleaner

Good work on Ourfancy - I suck at wikifying articles and suffer from Germanic sentence structure (because I am a fucking Nazi) so the help was srsly appreciated! I doubt they thought when they posted the article that it could be turned into such a drama bomb. There will be an update coming along as I am currently lurking on their site planning my trolling. Fucking pedo's. Hugs Crakwhrrr 02:31, 2 August 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Chaos wrath x

Hi there, you've been here for a while and do some great edits so I was hoping you could shed some light on that situation for me. For the past week the article you fixed up and a few others have been changed/reverted back and forth by the same group of people. I have no idea what the hell is going on or how to help. Is there anything you can tell me? White•Mystery

  • Thank you for clarifying that. I'm still a little confused, but at least I know what to watch for. If there's any obvious vandalism, just give me a heads up if nobody catches it. White•Mystery

[edit] Thanks

I take it back on AngelofthyNight. In the future, if something bothers you so much, don't write in the article how much the article sucks. Just delete the part that isn't good. Or give me some substantive ideas for improvement on my talk page because even though you may not care about that article, I do. Look, I admit that article did have a lot of parts that sucked, largely because angelofthynight has a lot of people who fucking hate him, and they're not necessarily the best or most hilarious writers. I only nominally changed what they did initially but I was sick of looking at it so I finally just took it out. I also changed some of the stuff you put in there but that's because I thought it sort of conflicted with the overall style of the article. --Philaster 01:28, 7 May 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Article Protection

Unlocked yo' --Drunkenlazybastard 18:32, 18 December 2007 (CST)

[edit] List of articles that have been protected for like two years for some reason

Mostly unlocked by Tfo. It's ruining time!


    • Good looking out on those, I posted this on the TJC to see if people who have been sysops longer than me have any particular reason for these staying protected. --Drunkenlazybastard 19:18, 18 December 2007 (CST)

[edit] Amorrow

Massive improvement! You've really been kicking ass taking articles like that and making them readable. If you're having any trouble with revert wars, just give me a heads up. White•Mystery

[edit] Robert A. Heinlein

I deleted it, and to answer your question: it wasn't even tangentially related to the 'net. You have to give substantial evidence of major drama occurring, otherwise we could simply have articles about every single person AfD'd off wikipedia in a slightly controversial fashion-Ketthe KangaJewSodomy plz 05:23, 16 January 2008 (CST)

Check your email, reply, rejoice. --Sheneequa • Talk 00:27, 26 February 2008 (CST)

Enjoy your banhammer --Entropy 06:09, 26 February 2008 (CST)

[edit] LOL HAI

You don't know this, but don't delete images. They lead people here through the magic of Google, and there's no need to kill any. <3 TfoTalk to meListen to me. 23:02, 26 February 2008 (CST)

[edit] Combining Cyrillic Millions Sign

There is actually a reason that there are three pages on this. lol --Image:Littlemudkip.gifImage:Littlemudkip.gifImage:Littlemudkip.gifOldDirtyBtardImage:Littlemudkip.gifImage:Littlemudkip.gifImage:Littlemudkip.gif • WUT? 00:20, 27 February 2008 (CST)

[edit] Orphaned Images

Oh hey, I noticed you reverted the edits I made to image pages that didn't link to any articles. I wasn't sure of the policy on that, so I figured I would at least bring them to the attention of the mods. So I can assume even lonely images deserve to stay? --Kevman459 04:42, 28 February 2008 (CST)

[edit] HorseNews

That was my favoritest article on all of ED :( White•Mystery

[edit] Baleet plz

Plz 2 be deleting the youtube account freezer article, not even an article but a lame script. I believe WhiteMystery had deleted it before. -CleverUserName 02:27, 1 March 2008 (CST)

  • Done and done. Next time could you make sure the link actually goes to the article, though? I almost skipped this because the link was red and I thought someone had already gotten to it. Dianoga 02:33, 1 March 2008 (CST)

[edit] Toilet

Why did you flush the "I am Beowulf" article? Just curious, because it was one of the needed articles (or should I have disregarded that?). --SocratesApology 03:36, 1 March 2008 (CST)

[edit] Danke from Assucko.

Thanks for the feedback on my first article. I've taken your advice and completely rewrote the Punk article. It is still a Work In Progress, so isn't lulz yet. HOWEVER, it's definitely LEAGUES ABOVE the shit article it once was. If you'd like a look at what I did, be sure to check out Punk. Thanks for your time.

[edit] Grey's Anatomy

Noooo! Where's that fap picture of Katherine Heigl going to live now? Noooo! Tom Complex 02:02, 2 March 2008 (CST)

[edit] Animal Dreams

GG HEY THERE!
Hey, Dianoga! I saw what you did with Animal Dreams
I just wanted to say keep up the good work

Great article, it reminds me of the good old days of LJ Drama --Spacey 02:22, 2 March 2008 (CST)

[edit] Belgium

Hey, I noticed you redirected the Belgium article to Eurabia. May I ask why? Because Eurabia has a link to Belgium in it, which automatically again redirects to Eurabia. This can't be right, can it? By the way, there was nothing wrong with the Belgium page, in my opinion --ElStormo 05:46, 3 March 2008 (CST)

  • Okay, fair enough. It wasn't my article, I just added two or three things to it (mostly images), so no hearts broken :) --ElStormo 13:31, 3 March 2008 (CST)

[edit] Ytseries

  • I don't know why you reverted my edits of the template because we already have a category for non-notable youtubers. The template is there to direct people to the best ones. If I left out any particularly good ones you can re-add them but otherwise it should not be a huge mess. --Entropy 06:50, 3 March 2008 (CST)
  • The template is only meant ot be a brief overview, if it's huge people will get confused an not visit an of them. We could put a link to the youtube category at the top of the template so people know that it exists. --Entropy 22:02, 3 March 2008 (CST)

[edit] Carvin

Thanks for the help, glad to get it out of the way. Two questions: How often saving is considered 'spamming the recent changes' and I was perma banned from IRC. I never even knew why, really, and I had no warnings or previous offenses. Since I can't plead my case on IRC (obviously) who do I plead to? (ach! didn't tag- here it is)Carvin 10:46, 3 March 2008 (CST) Oh, really? You have to do that many edits to spam the recent changes? Woo... I was thinking 5 an hour was going to license to lynch. Awesome, I'll have no probs doing that. Question: Once I have my paheal page almost ready or so, can I ask you to look it over to make sure it isn't crap? Carvin 11:57, 6 March 2008 (CST)

[edit] PROJEKT LIVEJOURNAL

[edit] Articles to write

  • Opalcat
  • Sayonara Snot and Lord Snot, or possibly The Snots
  • Springs1
  • Dwa20
  • Suede Bear
  • Jessy1019
  • Sensual Blossom
  • Aria Star
  • Fayanora
  • Habibekindheart
  • Coflower
  • Anti feminism

[edit] Nitpicky projects

  • Take "user=" out of all LJ tags
  • Standardize formatting: use LJ tag for first mention of name in article
  • Note on each article whether journal has been deleted (naming new journal if it can be found) or renamed
  • Note if extant communities have gone dead, and why if possible
  • Add template to all articles
  • Make sure templates follow format Ljseries, not LJ

[edit] Delete fucking everything

  • Yeah

[edit] Hey

Be careful deleting things like Tsunami. The general rule when deleting things is to not delete any articles from before your time as a sysop unless you check with another sysop first. While it isn't terribly internet related, it's a pretty funny and popular article that ties in well with the other natural disaster articles. White•Mystery

  • the real big question is, why the fuck do we have natural disaster articles on this wiki? TARGET TWO, LOCKED --yirimyah ♠ æ 04:28, 15 April 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Purging the Articles Needed list

Can I do some purging of the list? You said it's rarely skimmed over and it looks like something worth doing. Hardcase 16:04, 26 March 2008 (CDT)

  • Sure, go for it. I tried to purge/reorganize it a couple of weeks ago, but I don't know if I might've missed something (or removed something that should have stayed). Dianoga 22:31, 26 March 2008 (CDT)
