Hi, thanks for the comment... The thing about that bit you added was it actually refers to the original/real meaning of taint as defined at wikt:Taint#Etymology 2, so it's not really relevant for this article. And no, I couldn't find and sources either!

Hi, nice to meet you. I'm mostly into classical music, but I'll take a peek at Smashed Gladys on your account. I would suggest waiting until you've been here at least three months or so, usually people are hesitant to grant adminship to someone who hasn't been here that long.

Hi Pickelbarrel. Well, I'm a Wikipedia:Administrator, which means that, apart from the usual work of editing and writing articles I can do a few additional things associated with trying to keep the place running smoothly and cleaning up when it runs less smoothly. So I can (un)delete articles, (un)block account, (un)protect pages and edit protected pages within strict limits. That's all, though. Some people find these things useful, others are fine with never having those additional abilities and the responsibilities that come with them.
The actual process to becoming an admin is to make a Request for Adminship, in which the community will scrutinise your general conduct and work. Generally, the community does not grant adminship to users with less than 3 months of good contribution across a reasonably broad spectrum of activity. After all, if you're going to have the ability to help look after the place, you need to be well-familiar with how it normally looks and works. So you need to show that your responsible and trustworthy, civil when in conflict and that you have a good grasp of the various policies, guidelines and common practises. There's a lot of advice in WP:GRFA which you can look through. You can also read through the current nominations on WP:RFA and see the reasons people give for supporting and opposing requests.
You may find that your time on Wikipedia is entirely fulfilling without the additional admin tools — after all, you don't need any of them to actually write the encyclopedia. - Splash talk 01:23, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
The way I dealt with Dan was to publicly announce that I saw through his thin veil and knew he was accusing me of Sock puppetry. He made a big noise but mostly did a lot of back peddling. He soon totted of to do what ever it is he does. So my advice is to take him head on. He is pretty shifty and will probably get scared off, but don’t be surprised if he threatens to tell an Administrator on you. Like I said he is pretty shifty and can’t deal with much himself.-- Cenestrad 04:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Wow! Pretty nifty Cenestrad! I'm afraid to say that I have not been "scared off" in this case. Anyway, as I was saying. Pickelbarrel, your actions have now been reported to an Admin. User: Sam Korn - Oh look, his link actually works! Dan 21:09, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
This dispute has now been put forward to the Admins' Noticeboard. Dan 22:14, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Dan has a pattern and you have just seen it. He made a big noise when threatend said he'd tell an Admin. and now he has ran off. Kind of like a blow fish, real big with nothing inside. Notice how he acted as if you had insulted him? He did the same in my encounter with him. Anyway he's gone now and you shouldn't have to worry about him anymore. Oh did you notice that both times he ran to Sam Korn? I wonder how often that poor guy has to wipe that kids ass.-- Cenestrad 23:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
In response to your question, No I am not an Administrator. I am something much more rare and wonderful. I am the Emperor of Wikipedia. There are hundreds of Administrators but I am the one and only Emperor. I was granted this title by divine right and wield its powers to protect the common good. When I first came to Wikipedia I was amazed at the universe of information. I explored the mazes of text in awe and soon came to think of Wikipedia much like a human body. It had a brain and vision in the form of the countless Editors; it had muscle in the form of administrators. Its blood was the information and its sweat was the effort of creation. It had voice in the talk pages. It had a digestive tract in the form of the AFD debate. Its heart was the love most people brought to the wikipedia world. It was missing only two things, a Taint and a soul, and I gave it both.
Wikipedia needed a Taint so that the sweaty, ragged people of the Wiki-world would have a place to call home. It needed a soul so it would never become a cold and uncaring machine. I saw this need and (looking to the Emperor of the United States, the great Emperor Norton) took the responsibility upon myself by accepting the title of Emperor of Wikipedia. -- Cenestrad 00:13, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
You also asked me what to do about vandals and what titles you might be able to have. You can rid yourself and wikipedia of vandals by refusing to see that they exist. Jackson Pollok said that he didn't correct mistakes in his art because he didn't see them. Try that appraoch. Or sometimes confront them that can be fun as well. As far as title you can have any title the world grants and it can posses what ever power you see fit thats how I do things. -- Cenestrad 01:49, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I've undeleted it, because after a Google search it does appear to be a valid term. enochlau ( talk) 23:09, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
As the Emperor Of Wikipedia I order all parties involved in this dispute to stop all aggressive behavior for the common good. An assumed apology is issued on all fronts. This means no one will have to actually apologize but any offended parties may assume that an apology has been issued. Further more I order the three main parties involved in this dispute (Pickelbarrel, Pamento and Dan) to work on an article together so that they can overcome any lingering feelings of hostility they may harbor and learn what wikipedia is for. I suggest you select a difficult subject such as wallpaper paste so you can spend time working as a team. I would prefer that you select the subject yourselves but if you are unable to tell me and I will appoint you one. This I order for the common good.Cenestrad-- The Emperor of Wikipedia 02:12, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
If Dan is not interested in working with you I suggest that you look on his User Contributions page to find an article he is already working on and begin helping him with it. That way you can still work as a team -- Cenestrad The Emperor of Wikipedia 04:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
I think you should go to your prefrences and under nickname rename yourself "pickelbarrel the asshole" and then go to pamentos page and talk about what an asshole you are. That should piss him off good. Also let Uncle G & Wangi know that way they can speak with Pamento or maybe block him. As for working with Dan go to his user page and click on User Contributions on the left hand side of the screen in your toolbox (it's right under related changes) that will give you a list off what he is working on. Then all you have to do is pick an article and start editing. -- Cenestrad The Emperor of Wikipedia 16:35, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Nothing is ever actually urgent here. This is a textbased medium and none of the words are going anywhere in a hurry. Please do try to be kind. James James 01:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. Since Sam is sixteen, it seems fairly harmless for to ask a fellow teenager, as a joke, if he got drunk. I think you realize that now. In any case, an administrator does not have any position of authority here. All we can do is block users, delete pages, and protect pages. (By the way, your use of capitals makes the text harder to read!) Cheers. AnnH (talk) 11:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello Pickelbarrel, I notice you've taking to shouting at people because they don't share your views on child endangerment, or because they posted to someone you regard as in need of protection. In the meantime, you've made only 17 edits to articles, but 154 to user or article talk, with the pinnacle of your achievement being the unlamented Panty waste. I assume this is some kind of role account, but regardless of the story, you're likely to be blocked if it continues. Please contribute constructively to our encyclopedia and talk kindly to your fellow editors. Many thanks, SlimVirgin (talk) 08:31, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not sure what you're talking about. If I were you, I'd cool down a bit. It's supposed to be fun being here but you don't seem to be having much. James James 22:56, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Sceptr e ( Talk) 19:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Sceptr e ( Talk) 19:41, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Pickelbarrel- I temporarily blocked User:Pamento from editing Wikipedia due to his personal attacks. If he continues, please let me or another admin know about it. I also have a recommendation for you. I think you should stop arguing with Pamento, and let administrators deal with him. Arguing with him only serves to provoke him more. Thank you. Rhobite 00:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
In regard to your question on my talk page: I would strongly suggest not removing messages others leave on your talk page as they do serve a purpose and are important. If a user erroneously leaves a warning message, I would still leave it and attempt to explain why you received it. By removing such things, it makes it look like you are trying to hide something. Even the fact that you were once blocked should still remain evident on you talk page, but instead you have removed it [1]. While this isn't necessarily grounds for further warnings or such, it does make you look as if you are attempting to conceal the facts. Also on a related matter, I would suggest you not refer to yourself as an "asshole" in your signature. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 02:11, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
If you feel a child is in danger than it is imparitive that you contact the authorities. If you are in the U.S. I would suggest you contact the FBI and give them the info you have gathered. I myself have no reason to believe Sam Korn is a perv but I don't know him. So if I were you I would err on the side of caution. THIS I ORDER FOR THE COMMON GOOD-- Cenestrad The Emperor of Wikipedia 22:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC) oh yes dan is a member of Wikipedia:Association of Members' Advocates perhaps you could join as well so that you and him can finish the asignment I gave.
Pickelbarrel, you're blocked for a month, for persistently being a jerk.
Should you choose to come back afterwards, I hope you will behave yourself. Otherwise, future blocks will be longer. DS 04:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Pickelbarrel, I received your e-mail. I can't say that I disagree with your current block. You don't appear to have made any useful edits on Wikipedia. It looks like you've spent your time arguing with other users, creating nonsense articles about the "Emperor of Wikipedia" (there is no such person), and accusing respected members of the community of being pedophiles. Plus your sig ("pickelbarrel the asshole") makes you look very immature. DS blocked you for creating the article "panty waste" multiple times. My advice is for you to apologize to the people you've insulted, and promise to stop creating nonsensical articles. Perhaps someone will unblock you then. Rhobite 06:39, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Well Im sorry that you got upset...I cant really say Im sorry about anything I wrote because so far as I know, I havent written anything to appologize for(if I have let me know where) But I AM TRUELY SORRY THAT YOU GOT YOUR FEELINGS HURT " My purpose is to educate not humiliate"

I have good news for you. User: Splash the great & wise has laid out conditions for you to become unblocked. You can find them on my talk page. He has also restored the Panty Waste article so that it can be fixed. Splash has really changed my opinion on Wikipedia administrators. I had planned making Feb 3 an international wiki-holiday (entitled victims day) to remember all the editors who were victims of douche bag administrators. Instead I think I will proclaim it Splash day (or somthing similar) to help us all remember this great & wise administrator who uses his power for the common good of wikipedia (unlike other administrators who seem to use their powers to prove what douche bags the are)This I order for the common good.-- Cenestrad The Emperor of Wikipedia 13:31, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Just make sure you drop it with anybody you might be mad at(we all make mistakes), be kind to others, and be encyclopedic as possible in article space. You'll be alright, and as long as you do those things, i'll be there to help however I can. Karm a fist 19:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
I just saw that, if being an administrator is your goal, you'll have to take a far less condescending tone than that, it probably would have better to say nothing, considering your addition to Ebaums World was about half a sentence. Also, another thing you might want to do is put your edits through some sort of spell checker before you make them. Karm a fist 01:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Look at the comment above there, he apologized to Splash, Splash asked me if I minded if he removed the block early, and I was more than happy to oblige. What he's been talking about is fairly common, heck it just happened to me, but calling people names all over the place isn't a constructive way to fix it. Karm a fist 18:09, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Heh, I wish others saw it in the same way. I won't be an administrator anymore, at least for a little while. You can see why a little further up on my talk page. The culture around here is heading towards anarchy/ oligarchy in my opinion, but i'm glad I could help at least one person such as yourself out before a group of angry illogical people decide to get rid of me forever, which seems like it'll happen sooner or later. Oh well. I did the best I could. Talk to you later, my friend. Karm a fist 18:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Pickelbarrel. I'm sure that I do not deserve such a title; titles are really not at all Wikipedic and there are editors and admins much better than me! I think you can give yourself what title you like — and with a bit of creativity and flair you could earn the one you'd like! If admin is the 'title' you are after, then really it's not a title, it's just a set of permissions to do things that are focussed almost exclusively on cleaning up mess that gets left lying around. I'm no mathematician, and infinity is a peculiar creature, but we do have the article Infinity#Arithmetic properties of infinity. That suggests that there is no answer to your question, and that it falls into the class of questions that mathematicians simply call "undefined". How are you efforts on writing the encyclopedia going? Found some interesting things to write about or copyedit? - Splash talk 02:47, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the barnstars on your page that were taken off of other users' pages. These are generally given for doing good work on Wikipedia, and copying them is a bit misleading. If you like the style of them, and wish to keep them on your page, you can find many of them here, but I suggest that you don't attribute them to other users who didn't actually give them to you. Thanks! Ral315 (talk) 21:08, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
I like your new article, and I can see you've made some edits to other articles too. I always find that actually doing content work is far the most fulfilling thing about Wikipedia. Karmafist is unlikely to be reinstated by petition, although he can reapply through WP:RFA as usual with a couple of weeks waiting. Karmafist is a good guy, but has evidently upset the wrong people. I'm glad I've been help to you, let me know if I can in future. PS: You dropped a couple of barnstars on my talk page which sound like you intended them to go either on someone else's talk page or your own: we've never made any simultaneous rollbacks! - Splash talk 22:51, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

It depends what you want to do with them. Personally, I'd delete the anus picture as well as the piercing, because they're definitely a bit provocative, and I don't see the need to keep them. The other problem is that it can get editors in trouble; anyone editing at a public computer or at a school can face problems if they find an anus on your page. There's nothing wrong with removing them, either; generally, as long as you're not vandalizing, you can do whatever you want in on your user and user talk pages, including deleting pictures and awards.
For the ones you want, you can either leave them here, or create a new page (I'd suggest something like User:Pickelbarrel/Awards as its name), place the awards there, and link to them from here. That's your choice.
You had also wondered how to give barnstars to others...the easiest way is to follow the following format:
{{subst:Barnstar|image=Original_Barnstar.png|text=Here's a barnstar.}}
This will create a barnstar on their page. You can change the text to whatever you want to say to them (just a short sentence or two will do). If you want to use a different barnstar from this page, you can click the barnstar you want to use, and look at the name at the top of the page. Where it says "Barnstar.png", replace that with the name of the image you want to use. Ral315 (talk) 14:38, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

So I can (un)delete articles, (un)block account, (un)protect pages and edit protected pages within strict limits. That's all, though. Some people find these things useful, others are fine with never having those additional abilities and the responsibilities that come with them.
The actual process to becoming an admin is to make a Request for Adminship, in which the community will scrutinise your general conduct and work. Generally, the community does not grant adminship to users with less than 3 months of good contribution across a reasonably broad spectrum of activity. After all, if you're going to have the ability to help look after the place, you need to be well-familiar with how it normally looks and works. So you need to show that your responsible and trustworthy, civil when in conflict and that you have a good grasp of the various policies, guidelines and common practises. There's a lot of advice in WP:GRFA which you can look through. You can also read through the current nominations on WP:RFA and see the reasons people give for supporting and opposing requests.
You may find that your time on Wikipedia is entirely fulfilling without the additional admin tools — after all, you don't need any of them to actually write the encyclopedia. - Splash talk 01:23, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
The way I dealt with Dan was to publicly announce that I saw through his thin veil and knew he was accusing me of Sock puppetry. He made a big noise but mostly did a lot of back peddling. He soon totted of to do what ever it is he does. So my advice is to take him head on. He is pretty shifty and will probably get scared off, but don’t be surprised if he threatens to tell an Administrator on you. Like I said he is pretty shifty and can’t deal with much himself.-- Cenestrad 04:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Wow! Pretty nifty Cenestrad! I'm afraid to say that I have not been "scared off" in this case. Anyway, as I was saying. Pickelbarrel, your actions have now been reported to an Admin. User: Sam Korn - Oh look, his link actually works! Dan 21:09, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
This dispute has now been put forward to the Admins' Noticeboard. Dan 22:14, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Dan has a pattern and you have just seen it. He made a big noise when threatend said he'd tell an Admin. and now he has ran off. Kind of like a blow fish, real big with nothing inside. Notice how he acted as if you had insulted him? He did the same in my encounter with him. Anyway he's gone now and you shouldn't have to worry about him anymore. Oh did you notice that both times he ran to Sam Korn? I wonder how often that poor guy has to wipe that kids ass.-- Cenestrad 23:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
In response to your question, No I am not an Administrator. I am something much more rare and wonderful. I am the Emperor of Wikipedia. There are hundreds of Administrators but I am the one and only Emperor. I was granted this title by divine right and wield its powers to protect the common good. When I first came to Wikipedia I was amazed at the universe of information. I explored the mazes of text in awe and soon came to think of Wikipedia much like a human body. It had a brain and vision in the form of the countless Editors; it had muscle in the form of administrators. Its blood was the information and its sweat was the effort of creation. It had voice in the talk pages. It had a digestive tract in the form of the AFD debate. Its heart was the love most people brought to the wikipedia world. It was missing only two things, a Taint and a soul, and I gave it both.
Wikipedia needed a Taint so that the sweaty, ragged people of the Wiki-world would have a place to call home. It needed a soul so it would never become a cold and uncaring machine. I saw this need and (looking to the Emperor of the United States, the great Emperor Norton) took the responsibility upon myself by accepting the title of Emperor of Wikipedia. -- Cenestrad 00:13, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
You also asked me what to do about vandals and what titles you might be able to have. You can rid yourself and wikipedia of vandals by refusing to see that they exist. Jackson Pollok said that he didn't correct mistakes in his art because he didn't see them. Try that appraoch. Or sometimes confront them that can be fun as well. As far as title you can have any title the world grants and it can posses what ever power you see fit thats how I do things. -- Cenestrad 01:49, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I've undeleted it, because after a Google search it does appear to be a valid term. enochlau ( talk) 23:09, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
As the Emperor Of Wikipedia I order all parties involved in this dispute to stop all aggressive behavior for the common good. An assumed apology is issued on all fronts. This means no one will have to actually apologize but any offended parties may assume that an apology has been issued. Further more I order the three main parties involved in this dispute (Pickelbarrel, Pamento and Dan) to work on an article together so that they can overcome any lingering feelings of hostility they may harbor and learn what wikipedia is for. I suggest you select a difficult subject such as wallpaper paste so you can spend time working as a team. I would prefer that you select the subject yourselves but if you are unable to tell me and I will appoint you one. This I order for the common good.Cenestrad-- The Emperor of Wikipedia 02:12, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
If Dan is not interested in working with you I suggest that you look on his User Contributions page to find an article he is already working on and begin helping him with it. That way you can still work as a team -- Cenestrad The Emperor of Wikipedia 04:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
I think you should go to your prefrences and under nickname rename yourself "pickelbarrel the asshole" and then go to pamentos page and talk about what an asshole you are. That should piss him off good. Also let Uncle G & Wangi know that way they can speak with Pamento or maybe block him. As for working with Dan go to his user page and click on User Contributions on the left hand side of the screen in your toolbox (it's right under related changes) that will give you a list off what he is working on. Then all you have to do is pick an article and start editing. -- Cenestrad The Emperor of Wikipedia 16:35, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
I just saw your message to Sam Korn. Please review WP:CIV. Thanks. AnnH (talk) 00:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Nothing is ever actually urgent here. This is a textbased medium and none of the words are going anywhere in a hurry. Please do try to be kind. James James 01:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. Since Sam is sixteen, it seems fairly harmless for to ask a fellow teenager, as a joke, if he got drunk. I think you realize that now. In any case, an administrator does not have any position of authority here. All we can do is block users, delete pages, and protect pages. (By the way, your use of capitals makes the text harder to read!) Cheers. AnnH (talk) 11:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello Pickelbarrel, I notice you've taking to shouting at people because they don't share your views on child endangerment, or because they posted to someone you regard as in need of protection. In the meantime, you've made only 17 edits to articles, but 154 to user or article talk, with the pinnacle of your achievement being the unlamented Panty waste. I assume this is some kind of role account, but regardless of the story, you're likely to be blocked if it continues. Please contribute constructively to our encyclopedia and talk kindly to your fellow editors. Many thanks, SlimVirgin (talk) 08:31, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not sure what you're talking about. If I were you, I'd cool down a bit. It's supposed to be fun being here but you don't seem to be having much. James James 22:56, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
If you have a problem, i'll see what I can do to help you out. However, please don't distrupt things by making Emperor of Wikipedia or anything of the sort again, or I will have to block you. Karm a fist 19:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Sceptr e ( Talk) 19:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Sceptr e ( Talk) 19:41, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Pickelbarrel- I temporarily blocked User:Pamento from editing Wikipedia due to his personal attacks. If he continues, please let me or another admin know about it. I also have a recommendation for you. I think you should stop arguing with Pamento, and let administrators deal with him. Arguing with him only serves to provoke him more. Thank you. Rhobite 00:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
In regard to your question on my talk page: I would strongly suggest not removing messages others leave on your talk page as they do serve a purpose and are important. If a user erroneously leaves a warning message, I would still leave it and attempt to explain why you received it. By removing such things, it makes it look like you are trying to hide something. Even the fact that you were once blocked should still remain evident on you talk page, but instead you have removed it [1]. While this isn't necessarily grounds for further warnings or such, it does make you look as if you are attempting to conceal the facts. Also on a related matter, I would suggest you not refer to yourself as an "asshole" in your signature. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 02:11, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
If you feel a child is in danger than it is imparitive that you contact the authorities. If you are in the U.S. I would suggest you contact the FBI and give them the info you have gathered. I myself have no reason to believe Sam Korn is a perv but I don't know him. So if I were you I would err on the side of caution. THIS I ORDER FOR THE COMMON GOOD-- Cenestrad The Emperor of Wikipedia 22:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC) oh yes dan is a member of Wikipedia:Association of Members' Advocates perhaps you could join as well so that you and him can finish the asignment I gave.
Pickelbarrel, you're blocked for a month, for persistently being a jerk.
Should you choose to come back afterwards, I hope you will behave yourself. Otherwise, future blocks will be longer. DS 04:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Pickelbarrel, I received your e-mail. I can't say that I disagree with your current block. You don't appear to have made any useful edits on Wikipedia. It looks like you've spent your time arguing with other users, creating nonsense articles about the "Emperor of Wikipedia" (there is no such person), and accusing respected members of the community of being pedophiles. Plus your sig ("pickelbarrel the asshole") makes you look very immature. DS blocked you for creating the article "panty waste" multiple times. My advice is for you to apologize to the people you've insulted, and promise to stop creating nonsensical articles. Perhaps someone will unblock you then. Rhobite 06:39, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Well Im sorry that you got upset...I cant really say Im sorry about anything I wrote because so far as I know, I havent written anything to appologize for(if I have let me know where) But I AM TRUELY SORRY THAT YOU GOT YOUR FEELINGS HURT " My purpose is to educate not humiliate"

Hi PB, one thing Wikipedia is never short of is things needing done - and things that help us write an encyclopedia. If you take a look at Wikipedia:List of WikiProjects you'll find a list of projects, most of these have a list of articles needing to be written or other tasks to be done — I'm sure you can find something of interest! There's also a general list of articles requested at Wikipedia:Requested articles. Thanks/ wangi 22:47, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
I have good news for you. User: Splash the great & wise has laid out conditions for you to become unblocked. You can find them on my talk page. He has also restored the Panty Waste article so that it can be fixed. Splash has really changed my opinion on Wikipedia administrators. I had planned making Feb 3 an international wiki-holiday (entitled victims day) to remember all the editors who were victims of douche bag administrators. Instead I think I will proclaim it Splash day (or somthing similar) to help us all remember this great & wise administrator who uses his power for the common good of wikipedia (unlike other administrators who seem to use their powers to prove what douche bags the are)This I order for the common good.-- Cenestrad The Emperor of Wikipedia 13:31, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
to send who ever is in need of help a link to my talk page. The common editor can stop the reign of douch bag administrators but we must act in unison. This I order for the common good -- Cenestrad The Emperor of Wikipedia 14:45, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Just make sure you drop it with anybody you might be mad at(we all make mistakes), be kind to others, and be encyclopedic as possible in article space. You'll be alright, and as long as you do those things, i'll be there to help however I can. Karm a fist 19:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
I just saw that, if being an administrator is your goal, you'll have to take a far less condescending tone than that, it probably would have better to say nothing, considering your addition to Ebaums World was about half a sentence. Also, another thing you might want to do is put your edits through some sort of spell checker before you make them. Karm a fist 01:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Look at the comment above there, he apologized to Splash, Splash asked me if I minded if he removed the block early, and I was more than happy to oblige. What he's been talking about is fairly common, heck it just happened to me, but calling people names all over the place isn't a constructive way to fix it. Karm a fist 18:09, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Heh, I wish others saw it in the same way. I won't be an administrator anymore, at least for a little while. You can see why a little further up on my talk page. The culture around here is heading towards anarchy/ oligarchy in my opinion, but i'm glad I could help at least one person such as yourself out before a group of angry illogical people decide to get rid of me forever, which seems like it'll happen sooner or later. Oh well. I did the best I could. Talk to you later, my friend. Karm a fist 18:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
In honor of your energy & work on my behalf I award you this Exceptional Newcomer award. Keep up the good work. This I Order For The Common Good.-- The Emperor of Wikipedia 03:36, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Pickelbarrel. I'm sure that I do not deserve such a title; titles are really not at all Wikipedic and there are editors and admins much better than me! I think you can give yourself what title you like — and with a bit of creativity and flair you could earn the one you'd like! If admin is the 'title' you are after, then really it's not a title, it's just a set of permissions to do things that are focussed almost exclusively on cleaning up mess that gets left lying around. I'm no mathematician, and infinity is a peculiar creature, but we do have the article Infinity#Arithmetic properties of infinity. That suggests that there is no answer to your question, and that it falls into the class of questions that mathematicians simply call "undefined". How are you efforts on writing the encyclopedia going? Found some interesting things to write about or copyedit? - Splash talk 02:47, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
I deliberately decided not to vote on that issue; I didn't want to risk the appearance of bias. Okay? DS 21:29, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the barnstars on your page that were taken off of other users' pages. These are generally given for doing good work on Wikipedia, and copying them is a bit misleading. If you like the style of them, and wish to keep them on your page, you can find many of them here, but I suggest that you don't attribute them to other users who didn't actually give them to you. Thanks! Ral315 (talk) 21:08, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
I like your new article, and I can see you've made some edits to other articles too. I always find that actually doing content work is far the most fulfilling thing about Wikipedia. Karmafist is unlikely to be reinstated by petition, although he can reapply through WP:RFA as usual with a couple of weeks waiting. Karmafist is a good guy, but has evidently upset the wrong people. I'm glad I've been help to you, let me know if I can in future. PS: You dropped a couple of barnstars on my talk page which sound like you intended them to go either on someone else's talk page or your own: we've never made any simultaneous rollbacks! - Splash talk 22:51, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

It depends what you want to do with them. Personally, I'd delete the anus picture as well as the piercing, because they're definitely a bit provocative, and I don't see the need to keep them. The other problem is that it can get editors in trouble; anyone editing at a public computer or at a school can face problems if they find an anus on your page. There's nothing wrong with removing them, either; generally, as long as you're not vandalizing, you can do whatever you want in on your user and user talk pages, including deleting pictures and awards.
For the ones you want, you can either leave them here, or create a new page (I'd suggest something like User:Pickelbarrel/Awards as its name), place the awards there, and link to them from here. That's your choice.
You had also wondered how to give barnstars to others...the easiest way is to follow the following format:
{{subst:Barnstar|image=Original_Barnstar.png|text=Here's a barnstar.}}
This will create a barnstar on their page. You can change the text to whatever you want to say to them (just a short sentence or two will do). If you want to use a different barnstar from this page, you can click the barnstar you want to use, and look at the name at the top of the page. Where it says "Barnstar.png", replace that with the name of the image you want to use. Ral315 (talk) 14:38, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

It had been my understanding that comments which didn't violate policy were to be left, archived, or the whole page blanked (but preferably not the latter). Whatever, no biggie.

Was the page you were quoting as the reason when you were removing valentine's day reminders from. That was the disclaimer on the page, it is not official policy in any way shape or form. Many admins were giving out messages to their fellow editors, nobody has any problems with it.
As for your choice of words, the term "fuck" is not acceptable on userpages. I expect that you won't use it again. Tawker 01:55, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
