Re:

Well technically it isn't a speedy candidate. However, it is a prime redirect candidate, which I've gone and done. The album article itself is far to short to warrant branching off into individual song articles. —Xezbeth 21:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds reasonable. Until(1 == 2) 22:19, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If I can't login, it's not my account anymore?

That's stupid reasoning. So if I lock myself out of my car, it's not mine anymore? 67.135.49.29 18:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You could be anybody just claiming to be that guy, ranting in his name to make him look bad. Not gunna be allowed. You can tell it to e-mail you a new password. Until(1 == 2) 18:24, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See here. It's me. I'm leaving. Please leave the pages alone. 67.135.49.29 18:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ya, it is really out of my hands now. Until(1 == 2) 18:27, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't have been in your hands in the first place. 67.135.49.29 18:29, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I may have been wrong, but I had no way to know that and I was only trying to protect you from an impersonator. Until(1 == 2) 21:29, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to verify his identity through an off-wiki private message. - Crockspot 18:46, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prod tagging of Wikipedia:May the Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense Be With You

I have removed your tagging of this page for deletion, as the prod tag is only for use on articles, user pages and user talk pages and not on pages in the Wikipedia namespace. If you still want it deleted, then take it to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion, though I should warn you that it has been nominated before several times and there has been a lot of controversy about it recently, so be careful.

Isn't there a CSD for copyright violations? That content is violating the legal rights of the original authors by not attributing them. There really is not much to debate. Do you mean if the masses vote to keep a copyright infringement you do? How does that work when you get sued, does the MF foundation go to court or all the people to voted to keep it? Until(1 == 2) 14:55, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those pages were speedy deleted a few weeks ago on the grounds that they violated the GFDL, and it sparked a huge row. There clearly is not consensus to delete them on that basis, and speedy deletion is only for uncontroversial deletions. If you want it deleted, I recommend you go to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion and try and get a consensus there. An administrator would have been obliged to decline your original nomination anyway, as prod tags are not for the Wikipedia namespace. Hut 8.5 15:04, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So if the website votes to keep a copyright infringement it is kept, understood. Not sure any courts will understand, but that is not really related to me. All I can say is that I am a little concerned that my contributions to Wikipedia may be used by Wikipedia without following the rights guaranteed to me in the GFDL. How do I know that something I post won't end up on some page without attribution to me so that this encyclopedia can have a joke page? Until(1 == 2) 15:07, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to get into an argument about the merits of the page here, as this is not the place for it. The correct place is a deletion discussion, not one user's talk page. Hut 8.5 15:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, ok. Just that if I see any of my contributions being used without following GFDL licenses, I will not be impressed. The whole point of this place is supposed to be that it gives everything to an open license, it could at least follow its own license. Until(1 == 2) 15:14, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Given the stink you refer to in the past regarding this page, I am starting to think that if these pages are deleted you may be given a hard time? Is that it? Until(1 == 2) 15:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no stake in the deletion of this page whatsoever. In fact I did not even contribute to the original discussion. Yet again, if you want this page deleted, then go to WP:MFD. Hut 8.5 15:41, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If everyone got together and decided to violate the copyrights of the contributors here then I don't see what would be accomplished by starting the same discussion again. It would seem this website has made up its mind about this. The decision it made was to violate the copyright of its own contributors. Until(1 == 2) 15:48, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
