Re yer meme comment

Hey, Cat, I saw your comment on your user page, I assume you are frustrated at the Three Wolf Moon AfD close. "I pity that Wikipedia has become nothing more than a cesspool where policies are ignored in favor of turning Wikipedia into a registry of useless internet memes such as numa numa and three wolf moon and that this is one of many reasons so few people respect it as a source anymore." To be more accurate, wikipedia has been a "cesspool" of such material from its initiation. At least policies require inclusion of items which do relieve press coverage, not every 4chan and ED meme. My personal peeve is the thousands of stub articles on european footballers, but it does no harm that they exist (imho). You may think memes are frivolous, but some of this stuff becomes part of modern culture, which is really no different than what has happened for hundreds of years, e.g., Mary Toft (1726), Great Moon Hoax (1835). Western culture has long taken notice and reveled in the absurd. Perhaps your own interests are in more honorable pursuits, and if so, I applaud you. I hope the instant event does not annoy you too much. Cheers.--Milowent (talk) 11:48, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Re:Planet Simpson list

I didn't "destroy the whole list", I prosified it. Turner clearly singles LETS out as his favourite, so it should be mentioned differently from the rest. The other four episodes are listed by airdate, and LETS is not included because it makes no sense to list it twice. -- Scorpion0422 23:36, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

He has his favorite in the text with his top five as a list in the footnote at the bottom of the page but I guess you're current way is readable so I'm not going to argue it, it's more productive to keep moving on and to continue working on the rest of the article.

¡Ay, caramba!

About this edit, this is to let you know that WP:BOLD is meant for improving on articles, it does not apply to page moves where usually a WP:Consensus is required. No harm done as I have reverted your page move, please be more careful in future. Best. --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 13:19, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

While I agree that WP:BOLD generally refers to individual articles take a look at my edit summary on the move, if we were to remove the OR and unsourced information like policy requires there would be no article and it would be up for deletion and according to the history of the article and the talk page there are so few edits (suggesting few people caring about improving this article) that the only way to actually gain a consensus to redirect would be to to actually put the page up for deletion which would be a fairly clear waste of time. I am not going to immediately revert your edit but urge you to do so yourself since while WP:BOLD may not be the best policy for me to reference it follows the right point.

I also resent you're condescending tone, I did it on purpose with full awareness of the effect and in good faith, you don't have to agree with it and I'm happy to discuss whether it's the right decision or not however you're tone which could very easily be seen as attacking is unwarrented. Cat-five - talk 00:04, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
have started a new section at Talk:¡Ay,_caramba!#Consensus_to_redirect to ask for input on the idea of redirecting the article and laying out why I believe it should be redirected. If you have a good reason why it shouldn't be redirected I invite you to join the conversation there otherwise after a fair wait I will assume that there is no objection and reinstate the redirection.

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. -FASTILY (TALK) 21:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
