Oh, god no. Now it's all going to hell. Listen: When you do big, impressive stuff like this, it makes it impossible for everyone who agrees with you to keep being sympathetic.
To put it another way, let me tell you a real story. Back in the '70s or '80s this guy burned an American flag in protest to what the government was doing. So Congress tried to pass a ban on flag-burning. A whole bunch of people were against the ban, because it violated ideas of free speech, expression, etc. But during this whole time, the guy who had burned the flag was telling the press about how America was corrupt and the government was evil, and that made it hard for anyone to support him.
I don't have time to expand now, but do you see a relation? You shouldn't get up and yell at Wikipedia and at the community, it makes you look bad. ALI nom nom 21:01, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Okay, so you probably don't know me from a hole in the wall, so take what I'm about to say with a grain of whatever: I wouldn't have banned you from AN/I...but when I saw that !vote go up I must admit I thought about supporting. Here's why I didn't: The points you raise are sometimes very good, and you sometimes provide a needed contrarian opinion. Also, you tend to stand up for the little guy, which is a cause near to my own heart. HOWEVER: here's why I had to think about supporting for even a moment: Your points, even the good ones (sometimes ESPECIALLY the good ones) are couched in hyperbolic, practically purple prose, and too often your defenses come off sounding like rants. It's hugely offputting for the people who WANT to agree with you, and just consolidates the poor opinion your detractors already have. Your words would be so much more valuable (or perhaps, "valued") if you just turned down the adjectives by about 95%. Stop seeing corruption where all there is is bumbling, incomplete knowledge, inexperience; stop seeing malice when all there is is marginal dumbassery. Seriously. I think it would serve you very, very well. (But as I said--grain of whatever.) GJC 23:05, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
CoM you are not made out of asbestos, imo a lot of editors want you to be permanently blocked, take care not to give them the opportunity as the wiki would be a colder place without you.

Hiya, I had created the template {{ Bacon}}, and a deletion discussion for it was recently closed as Keep. However, before that, the "popular culture" section in it was removed [1]. Do you think such a section might merit inclusion in the template? On a wider note, should the bacon content-drive perhaps suggest a few popular culture related articles to create/expand? Cheers, Cirt ( talk) 09:32, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Oh, I did not mean creating a new article Bacon in popular culture, though that might be fun at some point, but I was rather referring to possibly simply improving other side articles within that general sphere. Fictional books, movies, television shows, directly having to do with bacon, etc. Thoughts? Cirt ( talk) 22:43, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm not an expert in this field, but my ma' always knew how to make those. Here's a pic of Fritule: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5b/Fritule(miske).JPG You basically mix together 2 eggs, 2 cups of flour, some sugar, a cup of youghurt, vanilin sugar, citrus peel and cut apples. YOu can also add some rum. Then just round them and fry in deep oil until they're golden. Sprinkle with sugar afterwards. They're really simple to make and are delicious. Istarski cukarini are basically regular tea biscuits, but are round and you dip them in rakia and after that, sugar. I don't really know what these other things are, sorry. Want me to edit the stubs on these topics? Hope I helped!

<--I'm a bit low on Naipaul, only read two so far. Choudhary tends to be more of an apologetic Indian in his writings, sometimes it's a bit difficult to say if he's being sardonic or real; I've read The Autobiography of an Unknown Indian and A Passage to England, good prose, but not really captivating storytelling IMO, but critics generally disagree with me on this. Anand is a rich socialist, was required during his times in India. Coolie (book) and Untouchable (book) are both very powerful. I've added the OCLC to all the book stubs I've created so far, so you should be able to check if they're at your local library. I'd rather start with Narayan, very simple writing, although some of the prose might read a bit odd to an American, start with Malgudi Days (book) which happens to be Jhumpa Lahiri's favorite. cheers. - Spaceman Spiff 06:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

More "endangered" architecture and architectural history.
Hey CoM. I've just created Template:Bacon-stub. I'm confident that this stub template would be useful for many articles here and is worthy of good points towards the Bacon WikiCup. The one issue though is an obvious COI involved with me being scorekeeper and awarding myself bonus points. It is only reasonable for the sake of ensuring no biases in the points, (as there are no pre-determined amount of points for these sorts of contributions) that I get an opinion from someone else to determine how many points it should be worth instead of self-awarding bonus points to myself. After giving User:Cirt 15 points for Template:Bacon, I feel that at least 8 points would be fitting, however, as I said, to keep the points neutral and unbiased, I request that someone else decide on a sensible point value for this contribution of mine. Cheers.-- Sky Attacker the legend reborn... 09:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

This admin has been coming after me and other editors who he disagrees with for a long time.

They seem to have used the Theatre spelling in those days pretty consistently and it seems to be a tradition that is continuing for the old tyme theatres. I never understood the advantage of double hooks, but I changed the Blue Mouse article to be about all the theatres that went by that name so it should be no problem to make it long enough. What else is cooking? :) Now I'm up to my eyeballs in other obscure American architects. Lee Arden Thomas is getting interesting and he worked in Bend with Hugh Thompson (architect) . But their projects that are on the NRHP don't have articles or photos yet. So the matrix is pretty weak at this point. Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated. Party on.

Once again it is festive season, a time where festive decorations are displayed and gifts are swapped; but what about the true meaning of christmas? The true meaning of christmas is about the fight for freedom and how in times of hardship and misery, one person leads their people to freedom as a great warrior; for those who fight for a cause are warriors and those who fight for a worthy cause are great warriors. Such an act earns respect and honour; but most importantly, brings happiness to their people. So to achieve this as happiness lies in other people's happiness and greatness lies in how you deal with little people, we selflessly think of others in the hope that they will be happy this christmas.
Hi ChildofMidnight, have a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2010!

I almost ordered one yesterday at this new green organic foodie place on the edge of the campus in Berkeley Gather. The presence of the "e" on the end of tarte and the lack of bread - in France we move the fork to the right hand and shovel using bread with the left hand - made me reconsider at the last moment. The bacon was of course house-cured. Here it is on the menu with cinnamon ice cream. I think this might be one of the new places sprouting up in the USA where people can practice eating creative food in preparation for crashing culinary events in the White House.

There is some discussion about deleting this person's entry. As far as his personal biography goes, although he is a successful businessman and a family man this is not unusual in itself. What is noteworthy about him is the armed home invasion he suffered and the toll he took on one of the intruders. Someone looking on Wikipedia for "Munir Hussain" is going to be looking for information about that event and its consequences, not that Munir was awarded some award, member of this or that, etc.
There are biographies on Wikipedia of people who have become important, and in those cases what school they went to may well be of interest (David Cameron went to Eton College I see), but many people only have their 15 minutes of fame - although I bet Munir wishes it hadn't happened to him. These people are sometimes mentioned in passing in other articles, but in this case it would be difficult to locate a suitable article? "UK home invasions" wouldn't really work?
The problem is that Munir Hussain's name has been associated with this particular event. So the article either has to be a biography of Munir Hussain, which would be of little interest to anyone except his family and I would see little point in keeping it in Wikipedia, or about the event - which is important and I think should be in Wikipedia.

So now might be a good time to provide some form of considered response to it. Could you please clarify whether you're intending to do so? Rd232 talk 08:30, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
I obviously misread your "preparation" (I was not drunk :-), because to a non-native speaker like me, the word sounds like you actually were preparing for making some real meal with a recipe. So I assumed "the preparation indicates that you would go for grocery shopping to get the branded instant noodles or intended to create an article about the product. So I said the noodle cabal as a joke. Similarly, when I watched some American drama, I felt very odd that an actress acting as a housewife said to their hungry children, "I'll make you cereal". However all she did was just simply pouring milk into a bowl containing cereals from a commercially manufactured pack. That was a bit of shocking to me like "how does that "make" cereal? Saying like "I will serve you a bowl of cereal" would be much accurate to me. But well, learning a foreign language is learning its culture.
As for MSG, actually there are research that MSG is not that harmful (I wonder the scholar is funded by MSG manufacturers), but healthy food always requires more money and labor. :-) I don't like Paldo ramyeon products except " bibimmyeon (picture)" (that is quite tasty, kind of bibim guksu) If you want to neutralize or reduce the effect of MSG, then you can add some vegetables, or a slice of cheese, or a bit of milk. Then, the taste would be enriched as well.-- Caspian blue 03:18, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi.

Dear ChildofMidnight.

Confused, what do you want me to do? If you want pictures in the Cleveland area, you're probably going to have to find someone else — I live on the other side of Ohio; except for occasionally seeing a doctor in Cleveland, I'm almost never in the area; and as I can't drive, I can't get up there just because I want to. Perhaps you could talk with JonRidinger, who lives one county south and is active with a camera; or EurekaLott, who lives in Cleveland but isn't so active with a camera. Of course, if I'm misunderstanding and you want me to do something else, tell me and I'll try to help :-) Nyttend ( talk) 02:37, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh, god no. Now it's all going to hell. Listen: When you do big, impressive stuff like this, it makes it impossible for everyone who agrees with you to keep being sympathetic.
To put it another way, let me tell you a real story. Back in the '70s or '80s this guy burned an American flag in protest to what the government was doing. So Congress tried to pass a ban on flag-burning. A whole bunch of people were against the ban, because it violated ideas of free speech, expression, etc. But during this whole time, the guy who had burned the flag was telling the press about how America was corrupt and the government was evil, and that made it hard for anyone to support him.
I don't have time to expand now, but do you see a relation? You shouldn't get up and yell at Wikipedia and at the community, it makes you look bad. ALI nom nom 21:01, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Okay, so you probably don't know me from a hole in the wall, so take what I'm about to say with a grain of whatever: I wouldn't have banned you from AN/I...but when I saw that !vote go up I must admit I thought about supporting. Here's why I didn't: The points you raise are sometimes very good, and you sometimes provide a needed contrarian opinion. Also, you tend to stand up for the little guy, which is a cause near to my own heart. HOWEVER: here's why I had to think about supporting for even a moment: Your points, even the good ones (sometimes ESPECIALLY the good ones) are couched in hyperbolic, practically purple prose, and too often your defenses come off sounding like rants. It's hugely offputting for the people who WANT to agree with you, and just consolidates the poor opinion your detractors already have. Your words would be so much more valuable (or perhaps, "valued") if you just turned down the adjectives by about 95%. Stop seeing corruption where all there is is bumbling, incomplete knowledge, inexperience; stop seeing malice when all there is is marginal dumbassery. Seriously. I think it would serve you very, very well. (But as I said--grain of whatever.) GJC 23:05, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Hiya, I had created the template {{ Bacon}}, and a deletion discussion for it was recently closed as Keep. However, before that, the "popular culture" section in it was removed [1].

I'm not an expert in this field, but my ma' always knew how to make those.

YOu can also add some rum. Then just round them and fry in deep oil until they're golden. Sprinkle with sugar afterwards. They're really simple to make and are delicious.

<--I'm a bit low on Naipaul, only read two so far. Choudhary tends to be more of an apologetic Indian in his writings, sometimes it's a bit difficult to say if he's being sardonic or real; I've read The Autobiography of an Unknown Indian and A Passage to England, good prose, but not really captivating storytelling IMO, but critics generally disagree with me on this. Anand is a rich socialist, was required during his times in India. Coolie (book) and Untouchable (book) are both very powerful. I've added the OCLC to all the book stubs I've created so far, so you should be able to check if they're at your local library.

More "endangered" architecture and architectural history.
Hey CoM. I've just created Template:Bacon-stub. I'm confident that this stub template would be useful for many articles here and is worthy of good points towards the Bacon WikiCup. The one issue though is an obvious COI involved with me being scorekeeper and awarding myself bonus points. It is only reasonable for the sake of ensuring no biases in the points, (as there are no pre-determined amount of points for these sorts of contributions) that I get an opinion from someone else to determine how many points it should be worth instead of self-awarding bonus points to myself. After giving User:Cirt 15 points for Template:Bacon, I feel that at least 8 points would be fitting, however, as I said, to keep the points neutral and unbiased, I request that someone else decide on a sensible point value for this contribution of mine.

Once again it is festive season, a time where festive decorations are displayed and gifts are swapped; but what about the true meaning of christmas? The true meaning of christmas is about the fight for freedom and how in times of hardship and misery, one person leads their people to freedom as a great warrior; for those who fight for a cause are warriors and those who fight for a worthy cause are great warriors. Such an act earns respect and honour; but most importantly, brings happiness to their people. So to achieve this as happiness lies in other people's happiness and greatness lies in how you deal with little people, we selflessly think of others in the hope that they will be happy this christmas.
Hi ChildofMidnight, have a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2010!

I almost ordered one yesterday at this new green organic foodie place on the edge of the campus in Berkeley Gather. The presence of the "e" on the end of tarte and the lack of bread - in France we move the fork to the right hand and shovel using bread with the left hand - made me reconsider at the last moment. The bacon was of course house-cured. Here it is on the menu with cinnamon ice cream. I think this might be one of the new places sprouting up in the USA where people can practice eating creative food in preparation for crashing culinary events in the White House. But what would they do if offered snails eggs, the latest delicacy in France? They apparently taste of soggy paper. Mathsci ( talk) 14:16, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

There is some discussion about deleting this person's entry. As far as his personal biography goes, although he is a successful businessman and a family man this is not unusual in itself. What is noteworthy about him is the armed home invasion he suffered and the toll he took on one of the intruders. Someone looking on Wikipedia for "Munir Hussain" is going to be looking for information about that event and its consequences, not that Munir was awarded some award, member of this or that, etc.
There are biographies on Wikipedia of people who have become important, and in those cases what school they went to may well be of interest (David Cameron went to Eton College I see), but many people only have their 15 minutes of fame - although I bet Munir wishes it hadn't happened to him. These people are sometimes mentioned in passing in other articles, but in this case it would be difficult to locate a suitable article? "UK home invasions" wouldn't really work?
The problem is that Munir Hussain's name has been associated with this particular event. So the article either has to be a biography of Munir Hussain, which would be of little interest to anyone except his family and I would see little point in keeping it in Wikipedia, or about the event - which is important and I think should be in Wikipedia. What do you think the article should be titled? Aarghdvaark ( talk) 18:01, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table.

Hi, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/ChildofMidnight has now been open for about two weeks, and it looks like input is tailing off. So now might be a good time to provide some form of considered response to it. Could you please clarify whether you're intending to do so? Rd232 talk 08:30, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
I obviously misread your "preparation" (I was not drunk :-), because to a non-native speaker like me, the word sounds like you actually were preparing for making some real meal with a recipe. So I assumed "the preparation indicates that you would go for grocery shopping to get the branded instant noodles or intended to create an article about the product. So I said the noodle cabal as a joke. Similarly, when I watched some American drama, I felt very odd that an actress acting as a housewife said to their hungry children, "I'll make you cereal". However all she did was just simply pouring milk into a bowl containing cereals from a commercially manufactured pack. That was a bit of shocking to me like "how does that "make" cereal? Saying like "I will serve you a bowl of cereal" would be much accurate to me. But well, learning a foreign language is learning its culture.
As for MSG, actually there are research that MSG is not that harmful (I wonder the scholar is funded by MSG manufacturers), but healthy food always requires more money and labor. :-) I don't like Paldo ramyeon products except " bibimmyeon (picture)" (that is quite tasty, kind of bibim guksu) If you want to neutralize or reduce the effect of MSG, then you can add some vegetables, or a slice of cheese, or a bit of milk. Then, the taste would be enriched as well.-- Caspian blue 03:18, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

You had to bring this to DRV didn't you!! I've expended far too much text on that now. Perhaps if you followup there you can see if I am making any sense.

Confused, what do you want me to do? If you want pictures in the Cleveland area, you're probably going to have to find someone else — I live on the other side of Ohio; except for occasionally seeing a doctor in Cleveland, I'm almost never in the area; and as I can't drive, I can't get up there just because I want to. Perhaps you could talk with JonRidinger, who lives one county south and is active with a camera; or EurekaLott, who lives in Cleveland but isn't so active with a camera. Of course, if I'm misunderstanding and you want me to do something else, tell me and I'll try to help :-) Nyttend ( talk) 02:37, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Whiskey Island coast guard photo I added to
