So Your Blocked?

No Worries!

1. Create an account on another wikiproject (from now on called the nonvictimwikiproject). Doing this should unify your account (which should be done automatically)
2. Log into to the project you want to vandalize (from now on called the victimwikiproject).
3. Happy Vandalizing!

The SUL lock no longer blocks you from logging in. Instead it blocks you from editing under that login. For a while, you could log in to a site like Commons or WikiSource that was not part of the SUL matrix and then surf over to the sister projects with interwiki links. Your login would stay operational. But as I said, you still couldn't edit.

So what I generally did was edit as an IP and manually sign my edits. That's why the Javertian cops ended up blocking 70,000 IPs in Eastern Massachusetts and 2^128 IPv6 addresses worldwide.

Today, Adam Brookes also blocked Utah State University and the MIT Media Lab.

Nothing?

What's the significance of a double-barreled .308?

(Well, I'm not sure if Blaser still makes them. Somebody could start by translating this into English.)

Actually no, you do have to ask for your account to become a SUL. However, if there's only one account and no accounts of the same name (not yours) elsewhere that's trivial.

You start another account with a different name. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/biggrin.gif)

In case you don't get the joke. Shhh... don't tell the Wikipediots. It's been over three days, with 2,148 watchers on duty, and at least 300 page views, but they still haven't caught on!

There is a famous "blooper" about Jane Russell, that appears on "Pardon My Blooper" with Kermit Schaeffer. Jane Russell's husband says to an interviewer that his new wife won't be doing any cooking at home, explaining, "I don't want her to endanger her career by bending over a hot stove."

Very Zen.


[edit] And this

[edit] I don't quite understand the mode of operation though. Format vandalism? A campaign to replace Template:Blockquote?

I know. The keystroke tracking software that I embedded on your computer already told me that you weren't a part of that operation.

One of Jimbo's leading butt-wipers is getting slow. It took him nearly two-and-a-half hours to sweep, sweep, sweep this one away.

Whereupon his buddy turned to him and remarked, "Tochus long enough to wipe that one clean."

"What's Mu?" "Nothing. What's Mu with you?"

It confirms my definition of a troll as someone who asks a good question that the person doesn't want to have to answer.

In Zen Buddhist culture, when someone asks a question you don't want to have to answer, you answer by saying, "Mu."
