User:Tarc/Ultraviolence (band)

Hey, I followed the link to the Ultraviolence article over from the MfD on RAN's userspace article. I've never heard of them, but with 4 albums on Earache Records, Ultraviolence seems notable under WP:MUSIC criteria #5. Can I move it back into article space? Or do you want to? Or is there some reason you haven't already? Yilloslime ^T_C 01:21, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Yea, as it is now I think some of the text remaining was largely lifted from other websites, which is why it was deleted. It'd need pretty much a complete rewrite, just one of those "didn't get around to it" yet projects. Tarc (talk) 12:39, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Ah yes, the old,"It needs a substantial rewrite". Maybe if I get the time/motivation I'll take a crack.... Thanks. Yilloslime ^T_C 04:32, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

I see what you did there...

Well played my man, well played...--Cerejota (talk) 15:09, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

The Gore Effect AfD

You previously commented on Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Marknutley/The Gore Effect (2nd nomination). A new version of the article has been created in article space at The Gore Effect and has been nominated for deletion. If you have any views on this, please feel free to comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Gore Effect. -- ChrisO (talk) 08:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Obamaism

Let's do an AFD. --William S. Saturn (talk) 06:16, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Of course you didn't delete Bushism. You love censoring anything that's critical of Obama. Romney Wordsworth (talk) 17:55, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

your post

Your post on AN/I, in which you mentioned me was extremely unhelpful, biased and unfair. I suggest before you claim something like that ever again to compare my contributions to yours own for example, how many articles on different topics I created, and how many did you, how many images I have uploaded and how many did you, how many times I commented on AN/I threads that do not concern me personally and how many did you. Please stop making your biased and unfair insinuations. If you are to respond, and I am not really interested in your response, please respond here. I would not like to see you at my talk page.Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 18:51, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Lulz. "I am coming to post on your page but don't come post on mine, neener neener?" Srsly, grow the fuck up. You're a POV-warring, partisan hack. Tallying up articles created and images uploaded, like notches on some whore's bedpost, does not excuse a horrid battleground mentality. This is why I have pretty much abandoned the topic area and moved on to the relatively benign realm of American politics. Ideological fanatics are much, much easier to deal with than religious fanatics. Out in the real world, Jews will continue to murder civilians on incoming ships, and Arabs will continue to murder civilians in marketplaces and checkpoints. And you and your wiki-buddies can sit in the cozy confines of a computer screen and revert your opponents and their wiki-buddies all day, deluding yourselves into thinking that what you do here actually matters. I pity you. Tarc (talk) 23:44, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Thought you might be interested

See here. Cheers. IronDuke 23:59, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

In a fit of unrelated pique, I trashed my entire watchlist a month ago. So other than re-adding good ol Israeli apartheid (a sentimental favorite), I have no interest in the topic, though random browsing through AfDs and DRVs might lead to some input, but unlikely. Y'all can have Hamas, Hezbollah, the Gaza flotilla raid all to yourselves, bro. Tarc (talk) 00:18, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Your aggressive behaviour at ANI

I see I am the second person within three days to complain about your behaviour in this respect. Your assumptions (indeed your link) to some topic ban need to be seriously questioned. It was not a page ban, but merely a restriction on editing MoS pages WRT date unlinking/linking. It has absolutely nothing to do with the current issue, and you show yourself to be biased and possibly involved in muddying the waters. You have misled others on the page. I resent it. Tony (talk) 10:26, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

What you are on about has nothing to do with Mbz's caterwauling above, buddy boy. Someone asked about your past topic restrictions, asking if what you were doing now was covered by it, and I posted a link to your ArbCom case. Nothing more to it, I had no involvement with the date thing then and nothing but a simple observation in the present case. If you actually stopped to think for a moment, what I posted actually clarified that you were not under any restriction that'd affect your present situation. So please, stop acting all butthurt and think before speaking. Tarc (talk) 12:40, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

DON'T CALL ME BUDDY BOY. Tony (talk) 13:00, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Facepalm Until/unless you can be a wee bit less hysterical, remove your presence from my page, pls. Tarc (talk) 13:02, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

When faced with your rank rudeness, that is rich. Have you read WP:UNCIVIL? Tony (talk) 03:00, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

(The sound both of you just heard is my jaw bouncing off my keyboard at this exchange.) I didn't know calling someone "Buddy boy" was "rank rudeness" or "incivil". Tarc, do you mind if I make a link to this over at WP:AN/I? I believe they could use a laugh. -- llywrch (talk) 05:06, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Doesn't matter to me one way or the other, as I haven't so much as looked at that thread since my initial post. Tarc (talk) 13:23, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Tarc. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. --Paul McDonald (talk) 15:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:14, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Your edit summary at AN/I, "down the rabbit hole"

You realize, don't you, that you are just begging for a response in edit summary "EAT ME"!  :)--Wehwalt (talk) 13:04, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Double entendres FTW. Tarc (talk) 13:10, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tarc!

Yeah, the socks you just cited are all me.

I admire your observations regarding my choices of usernames.

I also admire your previous explanation of my User:G-MMDC account. You were the only one to pick up on that, while everyone else missed it.

For the record, User:Yohann4, which has been suspected of being me, is not me. I readily admit that all the others are me, but User:Yohann4 is not me, and I do not like getting the credit for someone else's work.

That being said, I find it reprehensible that you and the others are still removing notable, well sourced info, just because that info happens to be critical of Obama. I have never, ever erased any notable, well sourced material from any article. Articles should cite the good and bad things about their subjects.

Spirobranchus giganteus (talk) 19:53, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Your latest one, "Hand me the keys you fairy godmother!", is pretty cute, too. That was a prety bad Usual Suspects dub by AMC. Tarc (talk) 16:32, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't think AMC was the originator of that altered version, as it also appeared on other TV stations. It's a common practice with R-rated movies.

I saw that movie in the theater seven times when it was originally out, including the opening day. I didn't know there was a surprise ending, so I was really, genuinely surprised. Today, people who see it for the first time usually know there's a surprise at the end, so it's not as big a shock to them as it was to me.

I am sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. You made me feel a bit so. Wikipedia should strive to be a happy and cooperative place.

To Tarc, Best wishes, Suomi

You caught the "trollz and lulz" post on Jimbo's talk page but you missed this. Considering both his edits I thought a final warning was warranted. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 12:46, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

thoughts on DrV

Tarc, While I generally disagree with you and so have some conflict that way, I'm finding your comments in DrVs recently to be fairly uncivil. Please consider toning it down a notch or two. Thanks, Hobit (talk) 02:31, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

A bit sharp, probably, but this Freakshow person has been quite a handful the last few days. He's pretty much stalking another users contribs and undoing every record label prod of theirs in sight the last few days as well. I have little patience for people I view as a net negative to the project. Tarc (talk) 02:34, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Gwyn Elfyn

Haia, Tarc. Re Gwyn Elfyn (and your advocacy for his demotion), you wrote:

>>Not that it matters much anyway, since barring a miraculous influx of well-reasoned keep opinions, this is going to be merged, but...actually, yes, you are. We have a widely-accepted guideline for this type of situation. This particular article fails all 3, yet you feel it should be kept anyways on the basis of "10th longest-serving actor" being notable.<<

Well, I think that it matters not "on the basis of '10th longest-serving actor'" but on the basis that I live in Wales and I can tell you that GE is a pretty damned notable actor here! However, I suppose I must recognize that trying to combat Wp-Americanocentrism is always going to result in mostly lost skirmishes. Doesn't mean though that the battle won't continue! Do have to wonder, all the same, about the apparent, strange mean-mindedness of certain Wp "vigilantes"... -- Picapica (talk) 20:43, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi again Tarc!

User:Freakshownerd is not me.

Also, User:Yohann4, which is suspected of being me, is not me.

I hate current music - totally hate it. But I absolutely love the new album Release Me by The Like. It's fun, cheesy, and retro. They don't make music like this anymore - except now they do!

Well this is interesting. This User contributions shows that I now have the same dynamic IP address that I had a month ago. Please don't revert the edits that I made a while ago to Loverboy, as they are non-political and non-controversial. The old edit to Talk:Presidency of Barack Obama is also me. That being said, the edits to Socialized medicine and Health maintenance organization from two years ago are not me. 72.95.242.173 (talk) 06:31, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

uncivil rant

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

According to this stop your uncivil rant.--Mbz1 (talk) 15:11, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

If you actually bothered to read what you linked to, darlin, you'd see that if you plan to make that the primary focus of a complaint against me, you'd likely fail. But if you and I were involved in some acrimony here, were parties to an Arbcom case, etc...then you would get some mileage by pointing to that as a mitigating factor. But as I am neither violating your privacy nor linking to an off-site forum myself (youdid that, though I'm sure one of your cronies, wikifan or malcolm schosha, brought this to your attention), you'd likely get much out of it in that scenario either. So please, run back and your wiki-semiretirement. I won't even declare my talk page off-limits to you, even though I have every right to now. If nothing else, you do provide teh lulz. :) Hugs & kisses! Tarc (talk) 16:11, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, you are mistaking about "wikifan or malcolm schosha". I do have account on Wikipedia review under my user name on Wikipedia. I've never posted there anything, but I do look at it sometimes, and sometimes I google on "Wikipediareview" and "Mbz1". It was how I found your rant last night. BTW I believe that even you should understand that no matter what I or anybody else saying about you, it is your own writings that demonstrate your extreme rudeness and stupidity because as my favorite philosopher Eric Hoffer said: “Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength”. Please do think about this, and have a nice day.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:36, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Ho-hum. As I said above, what I am disgusted/amused by is you and your ilk using this project to continue your ideological battles. I'm rude? Yes, I am. But at least my rudeness isn't masked in deception and agenda-driven, partisan bullshit, like yours is. Enjoy your retirement; we're better off for it. Tarc (talk) 16:50, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Your another rant deserves another quote “A half-truth is the most cowardly of lies”. My so called "agenda-driven, partisan bullshit" in your definition constitutes to .0005% of my total contributions, and even those have nothing to do with "agenda-driven, partisan bullshit". Please have a nice day.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:01, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

That Wagner article was a disgrace to the project, and merely the most recent example. This is all you and the others do nowadays, discereetly push the pro-Israel/anti-Palestine POV around the edges of the topic area, since your "side" has been slapped down numerous times at Arbcom and elsewhere when trying to do it directly. ".0005%"? Lulz. At the end of the day, you're just a Zeq (talk · contribs) with much better English skills. Tarc (talk) 17:14, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

re: meta-ownership

I don't think Stevertigo was -really- claiming entitlement to wider latitude than others.

re:Nirvana discography

Hey just giving a headsup that I started a conversation on the talk page pertaining to splitting up the albums. My preference is to split things, but I wasn't about to cause a ruckus if there was a strong consensus to keep things as is... although it would be "nice" to keep Nirvana looking like all of the other discographies in Wikipedia. Comment there... I didn't get much of a response before, perhaps a different consensus could be reached? - eo (talk) 12:12, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tarc!!

You said, "we should all chip in and get him a Netflix membership so he can find some more usable usernames. Seems like it's been a cavalcade of IPs for awhile now."

No, I haven't run out of ideas for usernames. The reason that I've been using IPs is because recently, every time I had a user name that was at least 4 days old (the minimal requirement for editing semi-protected articles) the account had already been blocked before I ever got a chance to use it. It happened with about 15 or so accounts. I think someone wrote a script to block them before I get a chance to use them. 71.182.212.229 (talk) 03:15, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Not a script, no, you just lack the ability to be outright deceptive, IMO. "Gyps Fulvus" is about to be shown the door, though... Tarc (talk) 03:17, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
