Dr Hackenslash 24 Posted February 8, 2006 I'm not going to incriminate myself that quickly, without clarification!!! What do you mean by the word "this"? Edit Wiki. No. I just enjoy reading the Clive Dunn discussion page. The row abou the £1-a-bottle wine is rather amusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,397 Posted February 8, 2006 MH, can you sort this out? Do you edit Wiki? I have edited Wikepedia pages in the past. As a matter of fact I just yesterday created a new Wikipedia identity for the purpose of editing DeathList related stuff. I haven't found much use for it. Yet. I think that the merge of "our page" was a crude solution, if that. That said, I don't really need a DeathList page in Wikipedia. Perhaps we could sneak some real DeathList stuff on the current page. If it stays, we can always request a split. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I decided to become a DL/Wiki avenger more out of principle than anything else. But the current entry for DL on the Dead Pool page needs sorting as it refers to us as a dead pool, which I don't think we are. If you agree, will you please edit? Pretty please?

Strangely enough, Gretnagod has been leaving messages on this guy's (Qualtoo's) wikipedia talk page in support of us. A strange 360 indeed. The message I left was a little nicer (I want to represent Death List as the bigger man), but nonetheless firm. You can read the relevant discussion at the bottom of this page. He's been around since January 26, 2006, and he thinks he's the big man on campus. Well we'll just see... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 93 Posted February 8, 2006 Well put, if a bit twee. Twee It means excessively or affectedly quaint, sentimental or mawkish, sometimes coupled with words like nauseatingly. It’s a strongly negative word, and a very useful one, that is in common British use. It appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century to mean something dainty or sweet, a girly and gushing word. It appears to have developed from tweet, not the noise a bird makes, but a childish attempt at saying sweet. It might have been helped along by a feeling that it could be a blend of tiny and wee (Scots for small), though it isn’t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Oates 21 Posted February 8, 2006 I'm with you in this project. I also have a Wiki account (PM me for more info) which I propose to develop in several areas of interest. I am quite worried that a fifteen-year-old computer nerd should have the power to decide (albeit temporarily) the fate of any serious article in what purports to be an encyclopaedia. Sadly, once again the need to earn my daily crust must take priority for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 93 Posted February 8, 2006 If anyone's interested, he replied here and I responded to that (hopefully for the last time) here. I'll PM you my tomorrow Captain Oates, right now, I'm a bit exhausted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 93 Posted February 9, 2006 This Qualtoo fellow is being a bit of a pill about this whole thing. I'm going to take a day and then regroup a little later and figure out what I want to do. This is really ridiculous/pointless etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Hackenslash 24 Posted February 9, 2006 Who is the Gretnagod who started the article. tried to get it banned, tried to save it and is now trying to restore it??? It's all a bit strange. I blame Himler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
in eternum+ 20 Posted February 9, 2006 Who is the Gretnagod who started the article. tried to get it banned, tried to save it and is now trying to restore it??? Yes. At this point, I think it only just to post an apology for earlier referring to Gretnagod in less than flattering terms. S/he has indeed completed quite a spectacular about-face. My apologies GG.

Tempus Fugit 212 Posted February 10, 2006 I've expanded DeathList's mention from Quatloo's one line, he keeps reverting back though, a battle is on. Silly, but satisfying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
