I can't find any proper reference for your article on fritelli (presumably plural). They are called called beignets de farine de châtaigne and here is a recipe. The word could equally well be Sardinian. Mathsci ( talk) 07:07, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Man, that stub made me hungry. You know when I went to Puerto Rico two years ago, I took my whole family, including my two "BoriGringa" granddaughters. There they ate their first "Piraguas". When we returned to the states I decided to write an article about the Piragua, but I had no idea what to do. Anyway, I ended up with this: Piragua.

I have problems too. Just did two articles on Jaji, and for balance it seems there should be two on Jija. But the Jerusalem Italian Jews Association doesn't see all that notable. Jijas has a picture waiting for an article but spiced minced pork, whether in a sausage, meatloaf or just fried, can't possibly be notable. Google books says a man may call his wife's mother or his wife's mother's sister jija. For all their relative clarity and generality, jija and bhabhi are encapsulated in a fundamentally consanguineal construction. Jija declared that the pig was the winner and even the tiger agreed. A predicative demonstrative may anticipate jija in a statement. None of this is helpful. Hard to think positively about the problem.

Badushah is a south indian sweet, available readily in the sweet shops in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu (not sure abt Andhra Pradesh); not just in Bimbis. It is made from a stiff dough of all purpose flour, ghee and a pinch of baking soda. One inch diameter, half inch think discs are shaped with hands, fried in ghee or oil and dunked in thick sugar syrup. Removed after a while, so that it has a sugar coating. Not very sweet, but tasty, slightly flaky in texture. I think the Bimbis in Pazhavangadi has closed down. Paalappoo ( talk) 03:21, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:World Focus 004.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

There's something funny about this article. I tried doing some research through the usual channels, but I got confused and lost. The article may not be what it appears to be.

Thank you for thinking of WP:NPA, but it is best not to edit others' comments on WP:ANI, as you did here unless there is outing or some sort of clear emergency need. No need to worry though; this looks like an error motivated by good intentions. Jehochman Talk 01:54, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Midnight. Nice job uploading all those photos, they're really good. Just a suggestion, you can also upload your images to the Wikimedia Commons. This will allow the images to be used in all the other Wikimedia projects. Since you are uploading the pictures onto Wikipedia under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, it is also fine to upload them there under the same liscense. If you want, you can re-upload your images to the Commons by following the instructions here. Thanks, ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 01:12, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Hmm...So I guess they delete the original file, then copy it over, thus allowing it to re-appear on Wikipedia as being transfered from the Commons. If you're busy, I can just slap on the tag onto your images and they'll be uploaded there without you having to worry about it (I've got time). And I've tried that excuse with my parents that typing is an exersize...but they don't buy it.

Actually, when you upload an image, it recommends on the upload page to upload non-free-use images to the Commons. Also, I think you're getting the two mixed up; the Wikimedia Commons is a website run by Wikimedia to upload images for use in all projects, while the Creative Commons are a company which creates licenses. And ew, I hate the cold. It's so dull and such a hassle...can't wait to move somewhere warmer. ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 00:47, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know that awhile back someone moved User:ChildofMidnight/Schwa (restaurant) to mainspace. The mainspace article was tagged for speedy deletion today and met the criteria. I agree that the subject is notable, so instead of deleting it or moving it back to your user space, I INCUBATEd it. The page is now located at Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Schwa (restaurant).

You deserve the above. I thank you for your patient attention to what matters. Just got your note. Agree that Alford pages now much improved. Still reservations about some other associated pages, but frankly I do not like the timewasting and politicking and decided to improve an article instead.

I found out a little more about some of the Chinese variations listed on that donut page but I should warn you, without seeing the actual characters involved for all of the Chinese names, it's hard to be sure what was actually intended due to all of the differing pronunciations.
The only "known" thing is that two of the items listed (Jin Doi and Chien Doi) are basically "alternate pronunciations" of jin deui, commonly known in English as "sesame seed balls". I created re-directs for the English names, but I'm not sure the "doi" names deserve them cuz I don't even know if those names are the correct ones (in terms of how Chinese names are written out in English).
Also, "Zhá Miàn Quān" appear to have something to do with fried noodles. Not the "fried rice" kind of fried, but the deep-fried crispy kind. According to my source, "Zhá" is fried and "Miàn" is noodles, but "Quān" didn't seem to fit here cuz the only meaning that made sense was "wide", and no dish that would meet that description came to mind, let alone anything even remotely donut-like. And I don't think the little fried noodles that come on some "mandarin orange salads" count ;-)
Applying similar principles, "Zha Gao" would seem to refer to "fried dumplings", but those are salty more than sweet since the fillings usually have minced pork and mushrooms (see the "Deep-fried Crescent Dumplings" entry on this page). Would those still count as donuts? BTW in case you didn't know and/or were wondering, "gao" and "gok" are the same Chinese character, just pronounced differently in different dialects.
And finally, "saa1 jung1" appears to be more of a description rather than an actual item. "jung1" could mean "middle", and the best guess was that "saa1" refers to the red bean paste (" dou sha") that's often used as a filling. So this phrase could be more akin to "creme-filled" which describes the donut, rather than "boston creme" which would be the name for that type of donut.
If these "best guesses" are accurate, then I'm not sure these deserve their own articles. What do you think?

You advised Redheylin: I think getting a breather would be a good thing. And yet now it appears that you are pushing hard for his POV. That is a bit odd, to say the least. If you cannot bring sources to shore up this POV, and are instead making WP:SYNTH-type assertions, this is a waste of time, just like the ANI thread was. Cirt ( talk) 21:10, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
I have, Cirt, and well done. Redheylin ( talk) 21:14, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Cirt, I suggested repeatedly that you guys work through dispute resolution and that Redheylin try the content noticeboard. The feuding seemed to continue with the ANI thread repeatedly getting reopened and with the same parties continuing to argue their positions (including accustations and counter accusations). Redheylin has stated that a post to the Law project discussion page didn't get a response, and neither of you (as far as I know) took up the suggestion to take the core issues up at another venue for dispute resolution. So I tried the content noticeboard, a place that seems very conducive to collegial discussion and outside input.
I was trying to lead by example in posting a request for outside input to see if we could work through the dispute resolution process together. It's one thing to just tell people to use dispute resolution, but I think it's important that admins and editors be willing to take part and in some cases to show how it's done. There often seems to be a reluctance from admins and others to get involved in the mediation process, becuase once they look into the matter they form opinions and become participants, but I think it's worthwhile getting into the trenches and attempting to work through the content issues.
I certainly hadn't intended to restoke the fires, although I see Redheylin's most recent note here suggests he's attempting to move forward on other projects. Last I looked the discussions were continuing on his talk page and I didn't see any indication that the content issues were resolved, so I felt moved to take some initiative to get a better consensus. I don't see what harm can come from soliciting outside input. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 21:20, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Ah, but you have interjected and gotten yourself involved in the "dispute itself". You continue to assert and advocate for the POV of Redheylin, over and above what the preponderance of sources actually say. Cirt ( talk) 00:35, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Despite my protestations, secret balloting was adopted for this year's Arbcom election. There's probably a discussion page somewhere, but who can be bothered finding it. And all of the fun questions get removed anyway by ne'er do well clerks (which rhymes with jerks). So for anyone interested here are my opinions:
KnightLago ...Who? Oppose.
Jehochman Strong Oppose. Never heard of him.
Hersfold Strong Oppose. Sounds British. Possibly female. Violates jury of peers theory. We shouldn't be mixing genders on Wikipedia.
Secret Strong Oppose. We shouldn't be promoting secrets. Transparency is better.
Mailer Diablo Strong Oppose. "Mail demon" name makes me think of junk mail. I don't like junk mail.
Kirill Lokshin Strong Oppose. Sounds foreign.
Fred Bauder Strong Support per Wikipedia Review opposition. Based on that, this editor is probably wholesome and not out to destroy the encyclopedia (at least not right away).
Seddon Strong Oppose. Something insidious about the name Seddon. I don't know what it refers to, but seems to be based on the same root as sedition, sedentary, and sounds a bit like "sit on".
Cla68 Strong Support. Nothing offensive about username. Default to keep.
SirFozzie Strong Oppose. There are enough muppets on Arbcom already. And we don't need any more royals.
Shell Kinney Oppose. Seems foreign, possibly British. Collecting and playing with shells seem childish or dreamy or something. Too cutesy.
RMHED Strong Support. You'd have to be crazy to oppose RMHED.
Xavexgoem Neutral. Username is a bit weird, but also kind of cool. Unsure.
Coren Strongest possible Oppose Hasn't apologized to me for failing to ban those bugging me.
MBK004 Oppose Might think he's a secret agent. Username lacks originality.
Fritzpoll Oppose Makes me think of polling on the "fritz". As Arbcoms vote on things, I don't think that seems like a good thing.
William M. Connolley Strongest Possible Support We need to shake things up at Arbcom. Bringing in some new perspectives from those who share a willingness to compromise is the way to go.
AGK Strong Oppose Dick.
Kmweber Oppose Seems British. Possibly female.
Steve Smith Support Football players are underrepresented on Arbcom. Smith is having a tough season and is unlikely to make the playoffs, so it's the least we can do to give him something to be a part of that will make him feel wanted and needed.
Rusilik0 Oppose Edits physics articles, apparently. I don't want to be judged by people who are smarter than I am.
Wehwalt Oppose Possibly British.
Unomi Oppose Possibly foreign. Could be female.
I hope this voting guide is helpful. If there's a policy against my posting it, too bad. Suck it. I do what I want! ChildofMidnight ( talk) 05:28, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Disclaimer An editor e-mailed me about my supposed voting guide, so let me clarify that the ridiculous secret voting process which excludes collegial discussion is the inspiration for the above approach.
I think my voting guideline is very appropriate in light of the consensus (of sorts) that has adopted an outrageous rejection of Wikipedia's community ideals and history of weighing arguments and working through the voting process in a collegial and collaborative manner. We are now expected to check boxes on an automated voting form, and hope someone else does the checking up to make sure socks aren't being used. In such a grievous circumstance, we are left with little else than our sense of humor.
So, as other's face Hal and his autmomated voting guide, I hope they will appreciate this ridiculously superficial and biased approach to voting as being consistent with the ridiculous approach to voting that's actually been adopted.
Comedy is a tough business, but I am standing by my absurd suggestions above as an ironic (if failed and perhaps misunderstood) attempt at humor. And of course we should strive to be as inclusive as possible and to recruit a more diverse range of editors of all genders, backgrounds, opinions, and body mass indexes. In the meantime, pass the Arbys and doughnuts bro. And "I do what I want" is a Cartman quote, and my voting guide is a tribute to his world view. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 02:10, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

User:Drmies has an excellent proposal for our WikiCup. See here ;)-- Sky Attacker the legend reborn... 06:32, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Heh, I like the proposal too. Personally, though, I don't really like how changing six commas (editing) earns you a point, while actually adding content like images or heavily expanding articles only earns you a few more. It is out of ratio, if you know what I mean. If the points for adding content were all increased, I think it would be better. Opinions? ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 11:21, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi ChildofMidnight, my apologies for bothering you on your talk page, but an issue has sort of been thrown in my lap and I need to contact you to get your thoughts on it. You probably know that your topic ban on Obama articles is expiring in a couple of weeks, at which point both you and User:Scjessey will be able to return to editing those articles if you so choose. However the prohibitions against the two of you (and against you and Wikidemon) against any interaction will still be in place. If you all end up working on Obama articles and commenting on talk pages it could get difficult to avoid at least indirect interaction and it would be good to know the ground rules more firmly going on (obviously there has been a lack of clarity on some of the aspects of the ArbCom ruling in the past, which as you well know has led to one or two questionable blocks in your case, something we want to avoid going forward). I've discussed this with Scjessey and Wikidemon both on my talk page and Wikidemon's, and recently brought up the issue on arbitrator Carcharoth's talk page.
The first basic question is simply, do you think you might head back to editing on Obama-related articles? If you're not at all interested in that I don't think we have to worry much about clarifying anything since the three of you have mostly done a good job avoiding one another (for the record Scjessey has said he definitely intends to return to editing there). However if you want to start working on those again as is of course your right I would like to put the issue before the ArbCom and try to get some guidance from them. The only objective here as far as I'm concerned is to have a good, agreed upon understanding of how things will work if y'all are working on some of the same articles, such that none of you get blocked for inadvertently violating the interaction ban. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter and then if clarification is needed I can put it to the committee so you don't have to worry about falling afoul your restrictions by even asking the question. Again sorry to bug you about this, but I think it would be good for all concerned if we could get this squared away before the topic bans expire. -- Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 18:07, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
I don't think it will be an issue. It is just a nice way to see the international involvement in the event. Even from COI, I predict no issues related to this and if there is we'll be sure to figure something out. Thanks.-- Sky Attacker the legend reborn... 21:27, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Ainsworth wrote a novel on the flitch of bacon. It would make a nice DYK hook. When I put it together, would you like to help out? That way, you would have an extra bacon credit for your bacon thing. He started a whole trend and I have a nice hook for it - did you know that the novel The Flitch of Bacon described a tradition of awarding bacon for sexual acts?

In Riyadh in the late 1970s, the Al Khozama hotel served Pseudo-bacon in the breakfast buffet. It was not real bacon (it was made out of beef) but it looked like bacon. It didn't really taste like bacon. After a few months, the hotel pulled it from the menu. They had complaints that it would make people think of bacon. I am trying to forget about the whole affair.

Basically, yeah, if an image is removed it's often sort of lost- that's why Commons is useful for galleries and categories. If the image is non-free and is removed, it will be deleted fairly quickly, but free ones will typically languish indefinitely. It'd be easy to do a database query to find all orphaned free images, I would imagine, but that's not something I'm good at... Was there something in particular you wanted to do, or were you just curious? J Milburn ( talk) 10:15, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

I have problems too. Just did two articles on Jaji, and for balance it seems there should be two on Jija. But the Jerusalem Italian Jews Association doesn't see all that notable. Jijas has a picture waiting for an article but spiced minced pork, whether in a sausage, meatloaf or just fried, can't possibly be notable. Google books says a man may call his wife's mother or his wife's mother's sister jija. For all their relative clarity and generality, jija and bhabhi are encapsulated in a fundamentally consanguineal construction. Jija declared that the pig was the winner and even the tiger agreed. A predicative demonstrative may anticipate jija in a statement. None of this is helpful. Hard to think positively about the problem.

Badushah is a south indian sweet, available readily in the sweet shops in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu (not sure abt Andhra Pradesh); not just in Bimbis. It is made from a stiff dough of all purpose flour, ghee and a pinch of baking soda. One inch diameter, half inch think discs are shaped with hands, fried in ghee or oil and dunked in thick sugar syrup. Removed after a while, so that it has a sugar coating. Not very sweet, but tasty, slightly flaky in texture. I think the Bimbis in Pazhavangadi has closed down. Paalappoo ( talk) 03:21, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Midnight. Nice job uploading all those photos, they're really good. Just a suggestion, you can also upload your images to the Wikimedia Commons. This will allow the images to be used in all the other Wikimedia projects. Since you are uploading the pictures onto Wikipedia under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, it is also fine to upload them there under the same liscense. If you want, you can re-upload your images to the Commons by following the instructions here. Thanks, ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 01:12, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Hmm...So I guess they delete the original file, then copy it over, thus allowing it to re-appear on Wikipedia as being transfered from the Commons. If you're busy, I can just slap on the tag onto your images and they'll be uploaded there without you having to worry about it (I've got time). And I've tried that excuse with my parents that typing is an exersize...but they don't buy it.

Actually, when you upload an image, it recommends on the upload page to upload non-free-use images to the Commons.

I just wanted to let you know that awhile back someone moved User:ChildofMidnight/Schwa (restaurant) to mainspace. The mainspace article was tagged for speedy deletion today and met the criteria. I agree that the subject is notable, so instead of deleting it or moving it back to your user space, I INCUBATEd it. The page is now located at Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Schwa (restaurant). You are, of course, welcome to help bring it up to standard while it is in incubation. Thanks, ThaddeusB ( talk) 05:27, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

You deserve the above. I thank you for your patient attention to what matters. Just got your note. Agree that Alford pages now much improved. Still reservations about some other associated pages, but frankly I do not like the timewasting and politicking and decided to improve an article instead. I myself once had malintent and have never cooked over a campfire since. I will give it a look though, and hope to be in touch soon. Redheylin ( talk) 21:05, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
PS - got any tips on how to go into detail about ways in which the cited page does not contain the information referenced? Redheylin ( talk) 21:13, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
I found out a little more about some of the Chinese variations listed on that donut page but I should warn you, without seeing the actual characters involved for all of the Chinese names, it's hard to be sure what was actually intended due to all of the differing pronunciations.
The only "known" thing is that two of the items listed (Jin Doi and Chien Doi) are basically "alternate pronunciations" of jin deui, commonly known in English as "sesame seed balls". I created re-directs for the English names, but I'm not sure the "doi" names deserve them cuz I don't even know if those names are the correct ones (in terms of how Chinese names are written out in English).
Also, "Zhá Miàn Quān" appear to have something to do with fried noodles. Not the "fried rice" kind of fried, but the deep-fried crispy kind. According to my source, "Zhá" is fried and "Miàn" is noodles, but "Quān" didn't seem to fit here cuz the only meaning that made sense was "wide", and no dish that would meet that description came to mind, let alone anything even remotely donut-like. And I don't think the little fried noodles that come on some "mandarin orange salads" count ;-)
Applying similar principles, "Zha Gao" would seem to refer to "fried dumplings", but those are salty more than sweet since the fillings usually have minced pork and mushrooms (see the "Deep-fried Crescent Dumplings" entry on this page). Would those still count as donuts? BTW in case you didn't know and/or were wondering, "gao" and "gok" are the same Chinese character, just pronounced differently in different dialects.
And finally, "saa1 jung1" appears to be more of a description rather than an actual item. "jung1" could mean "middle", and the best guess was that "saa1" refers to the red bean paste (" dou sha") that's often used as a filling. So this phrase could be more akin to "creme-filled" which describes the donut, rather than "boston creme" which would be the name for that type of donut.
If these "best guesses" are accurate, then I'm not sure these deserve their own articles. What do you think?

You advised Redheylin: I think getting a breather would be a good thing. And yet now it appears that you are pushing hard for his POV. That is a bit odd, to say the least. If you cannot bring sources to shore up this POV, and are instead making WP:SYNTH-type assertions, this is a waste of time, just like the ANI thread was. Cirt ( talk) 21:10, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
I have, Cirt, and well done. Redheylin ( talk) 21:14, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Cirt, I suggested repeatedly that you guys work through dispute resolution and that Redheylin try the content noticeboard. The feuding seemed to continue with the ANI thread repeatedly getting reopened and with the same parties continuing to argue their positions (including accustations and counter accusations). Redheylin has stated that a post to the Law project discussion page didn't get a response, and neither of you (as far as I know) took up the suggestion to take the core issues up at another venue for dispute resolution. So I tried the content noticeboard, a place that seems very conducive to collegial discussion and outside input.
I was trying to lead by example in posting a request for outside input to see if we could work through the dispute resolution process together. It's one thing to just tell people to use dispute resolution, but I think it's important that admins and editors be willing to take part and in some cases to show how it's done. There often seems to be a reluctance from admins and others to get involved in the mediation process, becuase once they look into the matter they form opinions and become participants, but I think it's worthwhile getting into the trenches and attempting to work through the content issues.
I certainly hadn't intended to restoke the fires, although I see Redheylin's most recent note here suggests he's attempting to move forward on other projects. Last I looked the discussions were continuing on his talk page and I didn't see any indication that the content issues were resolved, so I felt moved to take some initiative to get a better consensus. I don't see what harm can come from soliciting outside input. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 21:20, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Ah, but you have interjected and gotten yourself involved in the "dispute itself". You continue to assert and advocate for the POV of Redheylin, over and above what the preponderance of sources actually say. Cirt ( talk) 00:35, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Despite my protestations, secret balloting was adopted for this year's Arbcom election. There's probably a discussion page somewhere, but who can be bothered finding it. And all of the fun questions get removed anyway by ne'er do well clerks (which rhymes with jerks). So for anyone interested here are my opinions:
KnightLago ...Who? Oppose.
Jehochman Strong Oppose. Never heard of him.
Hersfold Strong Oppose. Sounds British. Possibly female. Violates jury of peers theory. We shouldn't be mixing genders on Wikipedia.
Secret Strong Oppose. We shouldn't be promoting secrets. Transparency is better.
Mailer Diablo Strong Oppose. "Mail demon" name makes me think of junk mail. I don't like junk mail.
Kirill Lokshin Strong Oppose. Sounds foreign.
Fred Bauder Strong Support per Wikipedia Review opposition. Based on that, this editor is probably wholesome and not out to destroy the encyclopedia (at least not right away).
Seddon Strong Oppose. Something insidious about the name Seddon. I don't know what it refers to, but seems to be based on the same root as sedition, sedentary, and sounds a bit like "sit on".
Cla68 Strong Support. Nothing offensive about username. Default to keep.
SirFozzie Strong Oppose. There are enough muppets on Arbcom already. And we don't need any more royals.
Shell Kinney Oppose. Seems foreign, possibly British. Collecting and playing with shells seem childish or dreamy or something. Too cutesy.
RMHED Strong Support. You'd have to be crazy to oppose RMHED.
Xavexgoem Neutral. Username is a bit weird, but also kind of cool. Unsure.
Coren Strongest possible Oppose Hasn't apologized to me for failing to ban those bugging me.
MBK004 Oppose Might think he's a secret agent. Username lacks originality.
Fritzpoll Oppose Makes me think of polling on the "fritz". As Arbcoms vote on things, I don't think that seems like a good thing.
William M. Connolley Strongest Possible Support We need to shake things up at Arbcom. Bringing in some new perspectives from those who share a willingness to compromise is the way to go.
AGK Strong Oppose Dick.
Kmweber Oppose Seems British. Possibly female.
Steve Smith Support Football players are underrepresented on Arbcom. Smith is having a tough season and is unlikely to make the playoffs, so it's the least we can do to give him something to be a part of that will make him feel wanted and needed.
Rusilik0 Oppose Edits physics articles, apparently. I don't want to be judged by people who are smarter than I am.
Wehwalt Oppose Possibly British.
Unomi Oppose Possibly foreign. Could be female.
I hope this voting guide is helpful. If there's a policy against my posting it, too bad. Suck it. I do what I want! ChildofMidnight ( talk) 05:28, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Disclaimer An editor e-mailed me about my supposed voting guide, so let me clarify that the ridiculous secret voting process which excludes collegial discussion is the inspiration for the above approach.
I think my voting guideline is very appropriate in light of the consensus (of sorts) that has adopted an outrageous rejection of Wikipedia's community ideals and history of weighing arguments and working through the voting process in a collegial and collaborative manner. We are now expected to check boxes on an automated voting form, and hope someone else does the checking up to make sure socks aren't being used. In such a grievous circumstance, we are left with little else than our sense of humor.
So, as other's face Hal and his autmomated voting guide, I hope they will appreciate this ridiculously superficial and biased approach to voting as being consistent with the ridiculous approach to voting that's actually been adopted.
Comedy is a tough business, but I am standing by my absurd suggestions above as an ironic (if failed and perhaps misunderstood) attempt at humor. And of course we should strive to be as inclusive as possible and to recruit a more diverse range of editors of all genders, backgrounds, opinions, and body mass indexes. In the meantime, pass the Arbys and doughnuts bro. And "I do what I want" is a Cartman quote, and my voting guide is a tribute to his world view. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 02:10, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Heh, I like the proposal too. Personally, though, I don't really like how changing six commas (editing) earns you a point, while actually adding content like images or heavily expanding articles only earns you a few more.

Hi ChildofMidnight, my apologies for bothering you on your talk page, but an issue has sort of been thrown in my lap and I need to contact you to get your thoughts on it. You probably know that your topic ban on Obama articles is expiring in a couple of weeks, at which point both you and User:Scjessey will be able to return to editing those articles if you so choose. However the prohibitions against the two of you (and against you and Wikidemon) against any interaction will still be in place. If you all end up working on Obama articles and commenting on talk pages it could get difficult to avoid at least indirect interaction and it would be good to know the ground rules more firmly going on (obviously there has been a lack of clarity on some of the aspects of the ArbCom ruling in the past, which as you well know has led to one or two questionable blocks in your case, something we want to avoid going forward). I've discussed this with Scjessey and Wikidemon both on my talk page and Wikidemon's, and recently brought up the issue on arbitrator Carcharoth's talk page.
The first basic question is simply, do you think you might head back to editing on Obama-related articles? If you're not at all interested in that I don't think we have to worry much about clarifying anything since the three of you have mostly done a good job avoiding one another (for the record Scjessey has said he definitely intends to return to editing there). However if you want to start working on those again as is of course your right I would like to put the issue before the ArbCom and try to get some guidance from them. The only objective here as far as I'm concerned is to have a good, agreed upon understanding of how things will work if y'all are working on some of the same articles, such that none of you get blocked for inadvertently violating the interaction ban. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter and then if clarification is needed I can put it to the committee so you don't have to worry about falling afoul your restrictions by even asking the question. Again sorry to bug you about this, but I think it would be good for all concerned if we could get this squared away before the topic bans expire. -- Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 18:07, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
I don't think it will be an issue. It is just a nice way to see the international involvement in the event. Even from COI, I predict no issues related to this and if there is we'll be sure to figure something out. Thanks.-- Sky Attacker the legend reborn... 21:27, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Basically, yeah, if an image is removed it's often sort of lost- that's why Commons is useful for galleries and categories. If the image is non-free and is removed, it will be deleted fairly quickly, but free ones will typically languish indefinitely.
