User talk:Glen S/Header
Hello Glen S. As you noticed I am having major monobook issues. I've lost all the Lupin rollback links unfortunately but that is not my biggest concern. Everytime I have tried to refresh my monobook, my browser (IE 7) freezes and my comp literally crashes. I'm in a bit of a pickle as to what may fix this issue.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 04:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Glen, amazingly it appears one last unblocked straggler sockpuppet of our good friend LorenzoPerosi1898 surfaced today.[1] The account is named Just an onlooker (talk · contribs) who was revealed to be a puppet of Messenger2010 (talk · contribs) - who has been linked to Yankeesin2007 (talk · contribs) - who is a puppet of LorenzoPerosi1898 (talk · contribs). I'm not sure how this puppet was missed, but it shows he's still around! Yankees76 04:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert on my talk page. Whew, it seems that footie-obsessed British nitwits are out in force on WP right now. I wonder why they don't just watch the telly or play video games or something. (Please don't bother to reply. Unless you really want to, of course.) -- Hoary 09:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Glen
since only lawyers and accountants are still on holiday in Akl I'll presume you are back and will give it one last go (regret find this too complicated for a senior citizen) I submitted a revised Orriel Smith Operatic Parodist ( as best following on from your guidance ) on January 9th. Can you advise if it went through please? If not I will lay down my pen and thank you for your assistance Cheers, MikeMshep 00:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I hadn't noticed that you warned him as well. I agree in that case. I just had to semi-protect four pages because of him yesterday too. Khoikhoi 07:51, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Glen I have cut and pasted below (reads pretty good to me! See what you think.if not suitable then no need to advise/reply as is my best shot.) Cheers and thanks for your patience and time mike
[edit] Orriel Smith Operatic Parodist
Orriel Smith ( www.orrielsmith.com) is the latest in a select group of operatic parodists who use their very real talents to amuse.Orriel Smith represents the even smaller niche of "animal opera singers"-in her case an "operatic chicken"
The difference between "naive" parodists like Florence Foster Jenkins (who for all her seeming naivety well knew what she was on about) is that Orriel Smith can not only sing but can hit high E's and F's which have reviewers drooling e.g. www.muzikreviewz.com/Media/orrielSmith.html) and Nichols E.Limanksy at www.divalegacy.com.
The arias on her CLUCK-O-RA-TURA Cd (www.cdbaby.com)are well chosen,not only for the opportunities they give for Orriel Smith to exhibit her carefully thought out clucking "phrasing" but are immediately recognisable as part of the "operatic cycle" to the cognoscente.
This is a second aspect to the career of Orriel smith.The first was being part of the Dylan/Baez led folk boom in the early 1960's.Her Columbia Lp "A Voice In The Wind" won acclaim not only for the obvious purity and beauty of her voice but,at a time of "protest folk",for presenting classical Anglo/Irish folk songs for their beauty and not their message.
Orriel Smith's mid 1970's work has also been recently rediscovered.She collaborated with noted composer Phillip Lambro to do the vocalisations for the movie he orchestrated "Crypt Of The Living Dead" (which soundtrack and DVD has just been released (see www.amazon.com/Crypt-Living-Dead-Phillip-Lambro/dp/B000E3CHVA).
Trunk records,which specialises in the unique has just released a compilation of what they describe as "quirky folk songs for children" in a CD titled "Fuzzy felt folk" (www.trunkrecords.com/turntable/fuzzy_felt.shtml)Orriels two tracks-sung in a little girls voice have received enthusiastic reviews with "Winds of Space" which borders on the psychadelic being singled out for the remarkable way a difficult syncopation was dealt with —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.89.160.167 (talk) 02:45, 9 January 2007 (UTC).
Hi Glen S, I hope your last anti-vandal revert of Alexander Fleming went at least back to the revision as of 08:52, 28 January 2007 by MER-C[2] that seems to be the latest without recognizable vandalized content. Thanks. -- Túrelio 10:44, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Heh, just noticed we're from the same country. Erm, New Zealand incase you didn't know... Anyway, just thoguht I'd leave that random message... :) Spawn Man 00:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
This article seems to have many sockpuppets supporting it and will not allow another AFD. "shadowclan" is an online gaming guild not notable. Bobbythebuilder 01:18, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I'll go ahead only if you think I'm ready - I think I can trust you to tell me if you think I'm not :) riana_dzasta 04:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello! Could you tell Users when they've been blocked? It means that other editors won't leave irrelevant warnings on their Talk pages, and other admins won't have to go through the proocess of blocking in order to find out that they didn't have to, because it's already been done. Thanks. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:43, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
How about this: I'll close with </span> after my four tildes. This will keep the formatting of the date. I hadn't noticed this problem on any other places I've put my sig. I was assuming the wikisoftware automatically closed the span tag. —Malber (talk • contribs • game) 20:34, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

You mean vandalism? I used to warn vandals, back when I had a block button at my disposal. I don't feel there's much point to it now that I'm toothless. I just focus on keeping the articles clean. Everyking 05:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

InstaTornado is the person who created the turboface page. Please send me an email about it educationalreplies@yahoo.com , I can provide police references. They have been activley seeking this person for the last year for multiple warrants. Send me a talk page. He's using his wikipedia account to create search engine spidered links to improve his link popularity on google. This account he create4d is for personal attacks.I can provide MORE then enough evidence. His old username on here was CUMBERBUND , search that user's history alkso,, you'll see it was also an attack account 65.184.20.38 16:06, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
PS His ip address will be 68.155.245.99. It's a permanent ip belonging to the Greensborough library. Email me to talk to the officer in charge of his case. Thanks. 65.184.20.38 16:09, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Heh, thank you. That's my favorite barnstar of them all. :D I've been trying to work on deletion analysis recently (although not on-wiki, I'd prefer to keep my findings to myself until I'm ready to back it up). Some of the stuff I've been voting in is pretty clear cut...the Gundam articles, on the other hand, are such a hot button that, no matter how bad some of them are, I'm not sure I want to keep listening to the paranoid histronics of people claiming we're forming some kind of article-slaying wikideathsquad.
I just try to do what I can. I might make a few stubs on some economic stuff, but I'm working on a fairly large article now and I'd like to finish that up first. Looks like you're doing good...
I shouldn't have even mentioned the oppose, but rather eschewing forgiveness. That's the thing that bothered me. Just H 02:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Hah, I know. :) Although, the people at CZ seem to be having an easy enough time rationalising it all. More power to them, I suppose. Daveydweeb (chat/review!) 05:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey Glen, I looked at the noms a bit closer and I agree it probably doesn't really matter. I've just seen people hold bizarre things against people at RfA. But Riana never accepted the nom and everything's there in the history so it's not like anyone can say it was a cover up or anything. I don't understand what's going on with the "Riana_dzasta2" and "Riana_dzasta 2" versions. Spawn Man didn't start both of those...he only seems to have started "Riana dzasta2" and Michaelas10 created a duplicate of it for some reason. I think we should delete one of them. What do you think? It seems ridiculous to have two identical RfAs noms. Cheers, the reigning nomination queen, :) Sarah 08:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Why did my page get deleted? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by B Scorpio (talk • contribs) 09:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC).

Thanks for the quick protection of Ogrish.com! Real96 19:53, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for noticing, but I can't seem to get the "actions" tab to work on my computer...for some reason. --The preceding comment was signed by User:Sp3000 (talk•contribs) 09:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for including my nomination & everything, considering I was the one who did it & all & I made it abundantly clear that I wanted to nominate. Now I can't even co-nom cause voting's all underway. Really niiiice of you. Thanks Glen..... Spawn Man 21:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Ouch. Mates, I'm sorry, this is all my fault, I forgot to include Springeragh's nomination statement as well. I've been incredibly busy and not really giving my full attention to the RfA, because I have a dad dying in hospital. So if anything is amiss, it's all my fault, please don't blame Glen or Sarah, Spawn Man. I've just had more important things on my mind than RfA (I'm trying to have a look from time to time though!) Sorry about the trouble, Glen, I'll leave Spawn Man a message on his talk. riana_dzasta 23:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, Glen. It's just bizarre...I had no idea any of this was going on and I've never seen anything like it. By the way, that little "about me" at the top of the page is really cool and very interesting. Cheers, Sarah 07:46, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Glen, I see you nominated Pacer Stacktrain for speedy deletion. Can you downgrade that to improvement needed? The company pioneered double-stack rail services which was a huge breakthrough in transportation. Thanks. Synesthetic 04:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to the others who used your talk to vent their wikihate. Sorry for the confusion... Spawn Man 05:06, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I know this is probably going to do squat for my reputation now (Not that I ever really had one), but I thought I'd leave a note of apology to everyone involved in my recent actions. An explaination is in order too. First off, I had a bad real life situation, that I really don't want to talk about, on the day this all started. I shouldn't have edited on Wikipedia afterwards, but I did. When I saw the situation with Riana's RfA, it kind of set off a build up of unvented anger at my situation & it was un needed. My whole tyraid had very little to do with the RfA, but I guess I took it out on that angle anyway. The way I was handled could have been better, but I wont go there in threat of making this sound like a back handed apology. My apologies go to Riana, who was also having a real life crisis at the time too. Basically the whole thing was a misunderstanding & venting process which I involved you all in. In regard to the whole sock puppetry thing, I had told my brother about my problems in due trust & he went & did something stupid on here. I don't really know what else to say but sorry. If that & a little bit of hard work repairing relationships on here doesn't change your current view point of me, then I don't think anything will. So again, sorry if I've inconvenienced you guys in any way & I hope that over time you'll think better of me. I'd love if you guys could forgive & hopefully forget & I wasn't really in control of myself these past few days. Hopefully things can get back to normal. :) Spawn Man 06:20, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Ooh, first post, too! :) Thanks so much for your nomination, mate. It passed last night, so now I'll be sweeping the decks with you. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind keeping an eye on me for the first few days weeks months however long it takes? :) Thanks a lot, once again. Cheers, riana_dzasta 03:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Glen, Sid Haig did say just what I said on a promo for TCM regarding 'Night Of The Living Dead'. I have just never been able to find it, so I obviously will not re-add it until I can show proof of that. But some of his fans know this to and would rather suppress that information and feed into the myth of a hip Sid, rather than point out that outside of working in the field, he really has no knowledge of the genre.
Hello, just bringing an issue regarding the Schizophrenia article to your attention because you were the mediator in the most recent MEDCAB case. Since the case was closed on 2007-01-30, Mihai cartoaje (talk • contribs) has begun revert-warring to add a ((POV)) template to the article. Attempts to discuss the issue on the article's talk page have proven unproductive so far (see related discussion) and attempts to contact Mihai via user talk page have also been unsuccessful (he continues to blank his talk page). The issue is reaching a point where attention from an admin may be necessary. I thought it prudent to contact you personally before pursuing more formal channels (WP:AN, etc). Regards. --Muchness 09:45, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
