Who was attacked by me? I am not understanding this thing you are saying. Please give me a link to the attack. Thank-you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by I love webcomics ( talk • contribs) 11:08, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Ask Admin BigHaz. He took care of nom'ing all the Metallica songs that weren't singles for AfD. The concensus was redirect them all. If you look at all the Metallica albums... none of the non-singles exist anymore. Every song used to have its own article. Which was just superfluous overkill and useless. BigHaz can explain the history. 156.34.212.152 (talk) 03:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Please show me a link to this consensus.-- Rockfang ( talk) 03:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it is your old friend, Jc Iindyysgvxc. I just want you to know that with the IP addresses I have used recently, I have made constructive edits. Infact, I even got two disruptive users blocked by reporting them at AIV ( this one and this one). So you OK with me now? 121.219.34.121 ( talk) 10:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Just to let you know a user started a thread at ANI about your indef. blocking some IP address. See WP:ANI#BigHaz. - Rjd0060 ( talk) 06:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Are you sure about that? I've seen people question in the past whether a nom that does not explicitly !vote one way or the other should be counted among the other !votes; as such, I had been making mine explict. But, I've been gone for a few months, and may have missed a change in policy somewhere; if that's the case, I apologise. Thanks! Heather ( talk) 16:41, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

You have to admit, that was pretty funny. Particularly as this page is just blatantly promoting UQ, eg:
“The University of Queensland's graduates have a strong record of success in attaining employment and income levels well above average. UQ qualifications are highly regarded by employers everywhere and our graduates form a powerful network of success across all industries and endeavours in all corners of the globe. In recent years, the international standing of UQ has been reinforced with a rapid growth in fee-paying students from abroad, as well as strong growth in postgraduate studies.”
I’m not sure how this passage slipped through the cracks – the reference to “our graduates form a powerful network..”. Might reduce the encyclopedic quality of the wiki wouldn’t you say? It's a bit of a double standard. Maybe it would be more correct to say 'our graduates form a powerful network of internet censorship'. Personally I think contributions which obviously promote organizations or politicians invite this sort of parody. In light of this, I think you calling me a vandal is a bit harsh. With love, Yogo Gorilla. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yogo Gorilla ( talk • contribs) 01:44, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Vandalism – thank you for the link. I didn’t find one definition of a type of vandalism that my contribution falls within. Posting a photo of an actual UQ graduate on the UQ wikipedia page, with a caption noting that he enjoyed the experience is not vandalism. Please tell me exactly which type of vandalism listed on the page you gave me the link for, does my photo fit into? Sure I wouldn’t put it in encyclopaedia Britannica, but then Britannica wouldn’t have the comment: “UQ qualifications are highly regarded by employers everywhere and our graduates form a powerful network of success across all industries and endeavors in all corners of the globe.” If my photo isn’t meant to be there, then why is this statement still on the page? Why haven’t you greeted its addition with the same ruthless expurgation?
Who says the picture has no business being there? The guy went to UQ and he’s happy about it. Isn’t that what a uni is? A campus full of smiling young people who hope to attain gainful and interesting employment at the end of their period of learning. Can you offer a substantive reason why that photo should not be there? What rule is there that states that wikipedia in style and content should be a carbon copy of the Britannica and World Book encyclopaedias? More importantly – why should everything on the page conform to YOUR idea of what it is meant to look like? Before you answer that by referring to YOUR policy – please just explain why your policy matters? Who authorises it? Who gives you authority to implement it to the exclusion of anyone else’s style. Even more importantly who pays you to do this? These are questions I’d really like an answer to (whether set out in bullet point or not).
Supposing I accept that YOUR policy counts for anything. Looking at your philosophy (the parts that aren’t completely incoherent) for editing – the UQ page is littered with ‘spam’ because many of the statements are trying to ‘advertise or sell something’. Why haven’t you removed such statements? You gave some fluffy answer in response to why you removed my addition but didn’t remove lines promoting UQ. I see no reason why you couldn’t have removed those offending lines just as easily as you did mine. This is an obvious double standard. You’re clearly in raptures over having attended UQ. I refer you again to your philosophy for editing: “My university is notable, it's big, important and old and has a lot of important people associated with it.” What a nice, unbiased statement. Well you’re correct it is big. The rest of that statement is rubbish. It’s ranked 103 in the world and I don’t know of anyone notable outside of Qld who’s come from there. But you’re obviously a 24 carat UQ stooge, serving the job of making the UQ page a great marketing document.
As for it being funny - I wasn’t really looking for your opinion of whether it was funny. But what I find most amusing is you don’t adhere to your own ‘golden rule’: Keep a Sense of Humour. I don’t think you ever had one. -- Yogo Gorilla ( talk) 00:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
