ACE2010 guide

Beautiful. ScienceApologist (talk) 03:29, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

The pictures are great. You'll never know how close your guide came to tempting me to stand again just to see what picture you would chose. I'm sure you would have come up with something more imaginative and appropriate than a wolf. :-) Carcharoth (talk) 00:37, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

The Carcharoth

Roger Davies look-a-like (photo by Mykal Burns!)

Funny your name just made me think of this image, I read the Silmarillion around 20 years ago and had forgotten the details. Couldn't seem to get Jaberwockey out of my head. The one I would have loved to have done is RogerDavies though. Polargeo (talk) 06:46, 24 November 2010 (UTC) By the way you would have been 3 or 4 stars on my guide and Roger would be a clear 3 stars. Polargeo (talk) 11:17, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Goodness! That is not a very flattering picture of me. I do hope Alice knows what she is doing with that sword. It looks very shar... <zzzt> — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carcharoth (talk • contribs) 00:48, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

I am relatively new on wikipedia, but I agree with you in case of several candidates. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 16:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Portraits

Could you please remove that disturbing pic which you put next to me?  Dr. Loosmark  12:40, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Of course. Loo in British English is toilet so I translated your name as mark on a toilet. The whole thing is meant as satire and charicature. Polargeo (talk) 13:42, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Loosmark, it was so outrageous, you benefited from the toilet pic. I'd have asked for it be left there. Tony (talk) 16:25, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I am willing to revert back to the toilet pic if Loosmark requests. Polargeo (talk) 16:27, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I was going to recommend this pic for Stephen Bain, but sadly, it's fair-use and can only be used in article-space. MastCell ^Talk 20:18, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Well Polargeo when I visited the guide this morning there was this pic next to my name:

and the following text: Flush this one and clean thoroughly.

That was all. From the article about Satire: Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon. It was also strikingly different to how you employed satire for the other candidates. Now I see that you have stamped a big "CENSORED" all over and added the following text: Censored by Loosmark [1] In British English loo means toilet so I tried to humorously interpert Loosmark as a mark in a toilet. Although the image Swab in toilet bowl.jpg showed only a toilet and cleaning products. We have a long history of charicature and toilet humour in Britain particularly regarding our politicians.
I will only this: I have never ever seen any political candidate in Britain compared to a mark in a toilet which needs to be flushed and then "clean thoroughly".  Dr. Loosmark  22:39, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes satire can be used as a weapon and a social critisism and that is exactly what I was using it for. I was encouraging people not to vote for you. Old examples of toilet humour include the prince's mistress Lady Dorothy Jordan being portrayed as a chamber pot (toilet) because her name Jordan is an old word for chamber pot, John Bull farting in the King's face etc. Polargeo (talk) 09:52, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

I opted not to thank individual contributors to my RfA. While I appreciate the supports, and respect the opposers, I'd just as soon not remember which were which in the future, so as not to bias any actions I might be in a position to take. That said, I cannot forget your support. I hope I never do anything to cause you to regret your decision, I hope you will throw this in my face if that ever happens.--SPhilbrickT 20:53, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I felt extremely uncomfortable with the persecution of certain opposers on your RfA but I appreciate the fact that you kept it at a distance and that you were in a lose lose situation if you had commented. I would have commented if it was my RfA but I do understand why you did not. I supported you based on my knowledge of you and that is what I always do on wikipedia, I do not follow the crowd one way or the other and I personally think you will be a fine admin.

Talk page

Hey there. Not sure if you realized, but you accidentally edited one of my templates instead of my actual talk page, so I've reverted it. If you wanted to put it back on my talk page, please feel free. And thanks for the idea ;) Shell ^babelfish 15:02, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Replied on Shell Kinney. Please comment there. Polargeo (talk) 15:07, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Personal attacks

This[1] is a comment about a person, not about the content. Please refactor it and keep your comments focused on the content of the template, not the people who are discussing it. --Elonka 16:27, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks.  :) --Elonka 16:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
