NRV
So what's this about changing the NRV tag without consulting anybody, hmm? Nazi! --KATIE!! 17:10, 11 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- I was the one who made that change in the first place without consulting anybody. Then I changed my mind about the motivations behind my initial modification. My thoughts on the matter were, what happens if I come across a page that's marked NRV but which I think is a good page; what do I do? Removing the tag can result in a ban, but I like the page so I want the NRV tag off. Banning someone for removing a NRV tag is wrong. Hmmm, now that I think about it, the right solution is to say that a NRV tag may only be removed if it is being replaced by a vfd tag. I'll go re-refix NRV. --Sir gwax (talk)

NRV
Why you put every my pages this template?!:
Why you not put this instead?:
- Answer to me!! ---- DudeMan January 15
- My template choice is a question of quality. I find that your articles contain barely readable English and hold no humor value for me. If you disagree with my analysis of your pages, feel free to change it from {{NRV}} to {{vfd}}, and list it on VFD with a note that you think it should be kept and are putting it there to remove a NRV tag. --Sir gwax (talk)

AH! MY SIG!
I don't know what happened to it, i didn't even touch it, but now it has an underline and i do not like underlines. If you could please fix it or at least tell me how it would be greatly appreciated.

Jan 28th, National Fine Print Day

--Keithhackworth MUN 17:54, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- That's fantastically clever. Unfortunately, I probably won't be around at a good time to make the changeover, so I recommend suggesting it to another admin; IRC is a good way to do that quickly. Also, if you convince people to do it tomorrow, drop me a note and I'll change tomorrow's word of the day to 'legalese'. --Sir gwax (talk)

China
Hmm... My campaign to embarass the PRC leadership got twarted. Don't you approve of provoking rederects as such or did you think this was an unclear one? ?--
Swami A. Suresh 07:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- I get the joke and do find it kind of funny, but I'm a stickler for things being in the right place and that redirect just makes thing sdifficult for people trying to obtain information about China. --Sir gwax (talk)
15:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
OK. No confusing redirects. Next time then I'll create a page of Totally Unaffectous Diplomacy and redirect it to PRC . Clear as Crystal.--
Swami A. Suresh 18:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Alternatively, you could try writing something in the PRC article or replacing the redirect at China with a comedically inspired disambiguation page. --Sir gwax (talk)

Wow... that was really nice!
It has recently come to my attention that on the 24th of January, you nominated me for Sysop! I, being the complete gormless bastard I am, never even knew about it, and only found out when Todd Lyons posted a reference to it on my talk page. I just want to thank you (a bit late, I know) for your vote of confidence, even if I do feel less than worthy at the moment. I read the archive comment on the VFS page, and I'm glad that you feel I'm actually helping by my constant anal-retentive watchdog behavior. Perhaps someday soon I can actually figure out how to go on IRC again (something I haven't done since my college years during the Second Crusade for Jerusalem) and begin to contribute in ways other than critiquing useless crap. So once again, a sincere thanks to you, and a deep bow in case you happen to be in Japan at the moment! --The King In Yellow (Talk to the Dalek.) 17:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Cthulhu
I think we should talk about this. Why the pointless merge tag, etc? Jack Cain 06:32, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- The removal of all the lists at the bottom was in accordance with a general Uncyclopedia policy of not allowing long content-free lists of links. The merge tag was placed because both Cthulhu and Cthulu exist and are (in theory) about the same thing and as such, the content of both articles should be merged into Cthulhu and Cthulu should be turned into a redirect; that's the way we do things here. --Sir gwax (talk)
18:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Redirect
I found the Medea article amusing inspite of being too short, I didn't want to NRV or VFD it, so i sent its content to Greek mythology and made it a redirect. The thing is that I'm not sure I'm allowed to do that. Am I? If I'm not I can take it back, but then I suggest an admind do the same or just give me a retroactive permission.--Rataube 18:55, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- There's no good reason I can think of why you wouldn't be allowed to do that. You're making a positive contribution to both articles and it's equivalent to the proper handling method of {{eat}} or {{merge}}. --Sir gwax (talk)
20:32, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Word of the day
Any reason why you reverted my edit for Feb 14th? "Unrequited" seems to fit with the theme of the day much better than "cinder block" IMO. If I've made a big no-no, let me know. -- Sir Codeine K·H·P·B·M·N·C·U·Bu. · (Harangue) 20:12, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Dangermouse
I just wanted to say thanks for the vote of confidence with the Dangermouse article
kitten huffers anonymous
Hi, while I appreciate your work at keeping alot of junk off of pages, I really simply disagree with your decision to continue to delete the KHA section in kitten huffing... Why do you do that? I think it is hilarious, now only your sense of humor counts?? I looked and it doesnt appear that you initated the page so why do you get to axe our section...
Furthermore, the KHA group has been instrumental to me not only does k-train find me kittens when I fall off the VERY small wagon (you do understand what being on the wagon is right?) but when i try to get back into the wagon other KHA members are there to give me a boost!!! I think it is very important to advertise KHA so that other chapters can be formed around the country...
what the problem is???
- The problem is that the Kitten Huffers Anonymous section is poorly written, poorly formatted and funny in concept but not implementation. I get the idea, it has potential, but the implementation is crap. Also, I am of the opinion that Kitten Huffing is about as long as it needs to be right now. As a resolution to the matter, I have split Kitten Huffers Anonymous off as a separate page, please make it a worthy article. --Sir gwax (talk)
21:39, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Wha happa?
Heyaz, Gwax. Sorry to pester you, but I was just going back through the VFD's, and I notice that you decided to keep 'n' stub Super Smash Bros. Curious (morbidly, I admit,) I went back to the article to see if it had improved since I voted -- nope. Still not funny, still sucks hind wind. So my question is this: why keep it when the vote count was 10-2 in favor of Deleting it? And would I be out of place putting an NRV tag on it? --The King In Yellow (Talk to the Dalek.) 21:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- I must be going senile. I'd swear there were more keep votes under that listing. Oh well, nothing a quick delete can't solve. Thanks for double checking me. --Sir gwax (talk)
21:35, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Moved from VFD - Oscar Wilde quotes
I'd go the route of writing an actual article about how to make up Oscar Wilde quotes and use as few examples as possible, then include a linke to Wilde, where people can see more examples. That way the page will have genuine content instead of being a giant pile of crap. Go ahead, delete tons of stuff and if anyone gives you a hard time, let me know and I'll use my admin clout to yell at them. --Sir gwax (talk)
20:08, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- gwax, I'm glad you're taking a positive approach to this; you've always been one of my favorite admins, though I've never really understood why, precisely... Anyway, what you're suggesting isn't exactly going to make me Mister Popularity around here, so if I do agree to take this on - and it's a big job - can I at least get some assurance that the other quotes pages are reasonably safe? And do you really have that much clout? And I assume you're aware of HowTo:Make up quotes, which while hardly stellar, is probably Nerd42's best article on the whole site? c • > • cunwapquc? 20:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the compliment. Now, I'm not quite sure what you mean about the other quote pages being "reasonably safe"; are you asking me to not delete them? are you planning to rewrite all of them? are you asking that they be left as is? As far as worrying about backlash, I recommend starting a thread on the Village Dump announcing that you plan to rewrite the making up quotes pages to actually be what they're supposed to be, I'll voice my support and then we can see if we can get enough other people rallied behind us that you won't actually be unpopular with the bigwigs. Beyond that, dealing with random people getting pissed off that you're deleting crappy content that they like is easily accomplished and something that I've had to do on a number of occasions. In the end, I'm willing to take responsibility in the face of common users if you come under heavy fire, so long as we can get some other admins to ok the project. --Sir gwax (talk)
21:00, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Gwax, I've already rewritten them... Look at the pages, and the page histories, and compare the pre-SU and post-SU versions for Einstein, Churchill, God, Anonymous, etc. (What I do is take the whole page out of the edit window, dump it into UltraEdit, work it up, and post it back in one major edit. So in nearly all cases the earliest, and maybe only, edit you see from me is the rewrite, along with all the shiny new pics. Everything after that is touch-up and maintenance.) I just didn't feel like I could delete large portions of them - though I did delete some stuff - without upsetting all the nice people. Hopefully I'm wrong about that! I also don't want to be seen as "taking over"; maybe I am, but it's not in my nature to do that. But I do want to see this stuff moved into its own namespace, with a nice logo of its own (see Uncyclopedia:Logos#QuoteUnquote:), and maybe expanded into other quotable people, if there's some humor value in them... and at the same, time, get the chaff thrown out. But to answer your first question, of course I don't want them deleted, I'd like to ensure that they look substantially the way they do now, but to ask that they be left "as-is" is unreasonable, is it? This is a wiki, and I would never ask that. Besides, if a few of my entries get thrown out in someone else's cleanup attempt, I'm not going to whine about it. c • > • cunwapquc? 21:36, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I recommend "taking over", so to speak. Some of the best parts of Uncyclopedia are those that have been adopted by someone. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that any article that doesn't have at least one devoted guardian/editor tends to go to crap. I could cite dozens of examples of pages that survive only because they've been adopted by someone. Don't think of it as taking over and don't act like the ruler of the pages, just take an active role in them and slowly weed out the chaff and eventually you'll be the person in charge, whether you like it or not (that's how I got stuck with VFD and a number of other pages). Besides, you're a good judge of things, only n00bs and idiots are going to question your actions and all but the unreasonable ones can be handled by explaining what's up. --Sir gwax (talk)
21:53, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, gwax, it's a deal, though I think that's pretty much what's going on right now, i.e., already. Mhaille is taking a keen interest in this stuff too, by the way... He can do the messy "guardian" stuff, I'll just be the editor when he doesn't have any extra time on his hands. (Actually, I spell the word "being" better than he does, so maybe I should do most of the editing.) Maybe there's no way in this case to avoid rubbing some people the wrong way, but hey, it's not like I ever want to be an admin, and I've already got more awards than I probably need... Anyway, thanks, and I'm sorry about all this turning into a bigger deal than necessary! c • > • cunwapquc? 22:16, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
No problem, I'm just glad to see progress be made on those (once) God foresaken articles. Oh, and you'd best be careful if you're going to keep doing good things for Uncyclopedia or someone just might try to make an admin out of you someday. --Sir gwax (talk)
00:35, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I'll be extra careful. Anyway, the move is mostly complete now; I just have to do something about the preponderance of Oscar Wilde quote pages. That may have to wait until the weekend... But the rest of them are taken care of. I'd like to leave the redirects in place for a while, maybe even indefinitely, but that's your call, of course!
