User talk:Waldo J. Cartridge

Welcome

Waldo,

Please read the policies and think about whether you're interested in making actual contributions to Wikipedia . If so, welcome! However, if you're only interested in adding your own name to articles, you will probably not find that the best use of your time. Such vandalism tends to get discovered and corrected pretty quickly, and the only long-term result of it is likely to be the vandal's membership getting suspended or permanently revoked.

Cynics (we all get that type)

If you are notable, why does this Google search for your name turn up no results? Please make your reply on my talk page. -- user:zanimum

Hey man, this is Waldo J. Cartridge, you can call me Woody. Thanks for noticing me. I see that you've discovered that my name does not return any replies on Google. The reason for this is simple, I do not approve of large, dominating companies, especially not in erntertainment. In my boycott of google, I try to make sure there are no results. I also boycott Wall-Mart, Apple, Coca-Cola, and 20th Century Fox. -Woody

That's perfectly fine, there's many people on Wikipedia that are anti-corporation. However, by not turning up a Google result, this mean that none of the 14,000 subscribers to your magazine have ever blogged about it, that no other magazine or newspaper has recommended it, and that you have extensive promotion through posters or the like, surely costing a fortune for such a small-scale publication. That also means no one likes or dislikes your films enough to mention, let alone review them or screen them at small film fests. -- user:zanimum

Yeah, that's probably true. I dont know if anyone really likes what I've been doing or finds me amusing at all. It also helps when your friends hack onto Google on a regular basis. Freaks. -Woody

Hack into Google? Such is nearly impossible. Are you implying they remove results mentioning you? -- user:zanimum

Hello? -- user:zanimum

I have no idea how they do it. But anyway, I'm also pretty sure all of my subscribers are far from computer literate. Anyone who had a blog would never look to me for entertainment. By the way, how did you find my site? I'd be interested to know.

All of your subscribers are far from computer literate? What is the average demo. of your subscribers? People of all interests and walks of life have blogs. I found your profile because it was up for deletion. -- user:zanimum

How much do you think i know about these people? They are mostly friends of my distant family. i have no idea about these ridiculous statistics you demand. And by the way, i was trying to stay polite and seem amused, and i hoped i would not be forced to go down to your level. But all the same, i find myself quickly discovering just the type of person you are. Are you one of theose guys who just hates people and tries as hard as he can to prove everything they say wrong? Are you a major cynic of the human race? Do you trust anyone and maybe every once in a while just go with what they say and keep living? i dont know. -Woody

The point is that I'm actually Emma Roberts, and everyone in Toledo has a tattoo of my face on their left shoulder. -- user:zanimum

Okay, whatever. I don't really get it, but I'm getting the feeling you're just trying to freak me out. Why did you change the heading on our conversation? Do you feel left-out by being labelled as a cynic? The moral of the story here is to treat people more kindly in the future and give humanity the respect it deserves. -Woody

First, you're not "humanity", you're simply an exception. Second, I only give people respect if they treat Wikipedia with respect. You're not. Everything needs to be proven to be real to be included in Wikipedia. Nothing you add about yourself can be proven to be real, just as you can't prove I'm not actually Emma. -- user:zanimum

Yeesh. I bet this guy thought he was real clever and gave me a good hounding. Good thing I kept my well-known cool and politeness. Everyone gets people like this, and it's best to just treat them kindly. I can tell this guy could really use a friend!

I do treat Wikipedia with respect. I have created two wonderful pages for Ed Deacy and Live Like You Were Dying as well as helped out the band user:Bombs Away with their own page. I can tell that you are just content on trying to prove me wrong and evil, no matter what the real facts say. That's why you got labelled as a "cynic". But enough about me, this is really about you. I understand you perfectly, you're angry about something else and you want someone different to take it out on. We all get these feelings sometimes, but we need to learn to control them. What happened? Was it a death? A break-up? If you need help I can recommend some great doctors near my hometown. I represent humanity to you. This isn't me. This is about something far more general.

p.s.-I hope you're not that woman, because on your site it says a man's name. If you're confused about where your life is taking you, that's okay, let it out. Personally, I suspect that you made some kind of a lie somewhere in there. Too bad.

Those articles (not pages) were poorly formatted, contained copyrighten lyrics, and NPOV words. They're closer to better now. I'm simply monitoring the quality of Wikipedia, something that often is not coming from you. The Emma Roberts statement was simply to make you realise that, unless everything is referenced to legitimate sources, we must presume it not to be true. -- user:zanimum

Okay, okay. For starters, "Debate Over Sourcing" is pretty much the lamest name I think I've ever heard. I am NOT debataing. I'm trying to help a person who doesn't want help, trying to be a friend for someone who needs a friend. I am NOT arguing. I'm adding. I'm trying my best to stay polite. I know you're a very angry person who is looking for an excuse to get mad at me, and I see that you are frustrated that I refuse to give you that excuse. I can be a stubborn man, and I am most certainly going to be as stubborn as I can for the sake of peace. I refuse to argue over something we can easily argree on.

Next item. Those pages? They were excellent. Just because they were not formatted the way you would have doesn't mean it was incorrect. However, I appreciate the help you have offered in improving the "articles" of things I am interested in. Are you a fan of Tim or Ed? If not, it seems as though by making an article you find unsuitable I have tricked you into checking out things I'm a fan of. Through your hostility, I have forced you to write articles about Ed Deacy and Tim McGraw! Wow! Maybe I should make more articles you don't like.

I noticed that although you were glad to help with Deacy and McGraw, you didn;t improve on the user:Bombs Away "article". Let's be friends. Maybe you can help Bombs Away get its big break.

Woody.

Advice

Hi Waldo. Could you please be sure that everything you add to Wikipedia is both notable and verifiable. If you are in doubt about what constitutes notable then see Wikipedia:Biographies. Thank you. DJ Clayworth 00:11, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fans

hey Woody, i know your award and i watched you on TV. keep up the good work!--Tom

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paul_Giamatti&diff=prev&oldid=40913671

Amazing, Tom, that you create a paragraph about a nonexistant award, and then quickly "realise" he didn't win that award, he won Waldo's award. Good that you suddenly caught that mistake. -- user:zanimum

hey man, i see this thing you wrote and have no idea what it means. If either Tom, whoever you are, or that young man who seems real out to get me could clarify, that would be just dandy.

Rupert Grint (Rup-Dawg on the Radio?)

I notice you restored "radio" to his voice over work; another editor had removed it, saying (he or she couldn't find a reliable source. If you have one, can you add it to the talk page to help future editors? Thanks :) Radio Kirk talk to me 00:20, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Woody, got your message. The IMDb link helped me find a programming link that I will include in the text of Grint's article, so, thank you. Just to let you know, many editors consider the IMDb unreliable since users can edit it (the IMDb does review submissions, but does not always research them, or research them well, as I've learned from first-hand experience). Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, and feel free to use <ref>-style footnotes when adding data that should be cited. :) Radio Kirk talk to me 15:47, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the "Rup-Dawg" thing is cool, though I wonder what he'd think of it (grin). Anyway, Wikipedians hear that rap all the time that it's not reliable because anyone can edit; the difference between here and the IMDb, though, is that—depending on the article—there's usually someone watching out to make sure info is correct and NPOV. I've seen inaccurate pap live for years on the IMDb ;) Radio Kirk talk to me 18:24, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, long-time Libertarian! Thanks :) Radio Kirk talk to me 01:52, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, thank you very much. I'd completely forgotten I'd done that! My original version's wince-makingly un-wikipedia-like now, of course. Simpler times ... (I mustn't read the current version as, being a non-satellite UK viewer with no broadband, I've only seen up to the end of S2.) --Bth 08:06, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you blocked? What is your IP address? -- Samir धर्म 08:00, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We can't unblock you at this time, because you haven't given us the information we need to even look into your block. You yourself were not blocked; if you were prevented from editing, you must have been autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. I'm removing your unblock request because there's nothing we can do without this information. If you still want to be unblocked, feel free to add the {{unblock}} tag back to this page, and be sure to include the message you saw when you tried to edit, including the IP address. This is what the message looks like. Without that information, we can't help you. Mango juice^talk 13:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
