Um...no. I don't live in a Shaker community. Just a redneck one with a touch of Northern Virginian liberalism....

That's pretty much where I'm from, but I'm willing to assume most people aren't going to view your attitudes as typical.

Still, I can see how you might cause people a certain amount of frustration. Good luck on your RfA! smile.gif

Presumably all the real Germans popped out to the shops, and when they weren't looking those sneaky imposters occupied Western Europe.

*Sigh*. That's about as clear cut example of unconcious POV bias as one could get. Of course this being WR, rather than Wikipedia, yes, I'm being somewhat pedantic.

I think several people have probably already watchlisted it, for the day it DOES turn blue.

Wouldn't it be neat if you could earn Wiki-points by killing bores? Or at least shooting them? happy.gif Beback would be so full of arrows he'd have to apply as WP's St. Sebastian.

Save the 'hasten the day' socks for the inevitable RFA of Coldplay Expert (T-C-L-K-R-D) , almost certainly the most slack-jawed and drooling of the current crop of wannabees.


I haven't really followed the careers of the newer ones climbing the ladder of success on Planet Wiki. Any suggestions for other would-be admins like 'Coldplay Expert' - examples of noxious and sick-making behaviour would be useful.

Perhaps we could draw up a shortlist for the WP:DICK awards.

Hahaha. sick.gif Take a look at him getting shredded in this half-assed ANI thread he started (not that his buddies actually bothered to read his utter devastation when they started circle-jerking).

He's under 16 btw, and he was whining on Juliancolton's talk page that he got banned from WR for being underage but his account is still logged in (and apparently he's pissed about it.) Must seriously have no life, poor kid.

Well, who wouldn't be?

I believe the "Delete all WR cookies" link fixes that problem, but if not, I'm told that the "Delete all Coldplay MP3's from iTunes" method works equally well.

I tried listening to the first few tracks of X&Y the other day, but it seems a little less inspiring for me now, for some reason... unhappy.gif

Poor kid, indeed. I have no idea about what he does on WP, but I got the impression that he came away from this thread thinking that he had gotten helpful advice on how to be a better Wikipedian (and future admin). I fear that he lacks the wisdom to distinguish WP from real life. That kid needs to find some better role models...
