Do you think Hairy ball theorem will get featured?
It's 3 and 0 right now. --General of All Branches of the Military and the Head of the State Police Eric (talk) 23:43, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Kamek, the threshold used to be 10 For votes, back when there was anyone on this website. I am baffled at why Romartus is avoiding the vote on my nice rewrite. Of course, Socky seems to think that the result is too off-putting, with the initial half-sentence sporked from Wikipedia, and Romartus might too. And I am baffled at why you began this section on an archive of Romartus's talk page rather than the real thing. Spıke Ѧ 02:29 25-Oct-12

Censoring drawings and diagrams
Sadly, I was right about at least one drawing. I am reverting it since it is on Sannse's list on the Village Dump, but I don't have the ability to remove old versions. -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 23:46, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
- OK. I will look for a different drawing to illustrate the same joke as a censored version will look weird. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 23:49, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
- It would be easier to crop the original or re-write the picture caption to mention the censorship. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 13:17, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
Romartus, can you check my sandbox page? Tell me your opinion (only about the first article), please.-- Sir Sinner blah blah 10:50, October 27, 2012 (UTC)

I touched up the How to become an Assassin article
What do you reckon? http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/HowTo:Become_an_Assassin?vfhlink=HowTo%3ABecome_an_Assassin_(2nd_nomination)--~Leverage 19:44, October 30, 2012 (UTC)
- I can see you have done some work but the structure of the article is still a bit loose in my view. Since it is a 'HowTo' rather than an article about assassins in general, the story should concentrate there. The names at the end could be dropped as examples how not to do it unless you really wanted to be caught. They are called Herostratics. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 20:50, October 30, 2012 (UTC)
Paul Ryan on VFH
It is hardly unanimous, though half the opposition might be to the man more than the article. However, it should go up this weekend or not at all as, win or lose, on Wednesday this article will become patently unremarkable. Spıke Ѧ 21:23 2-Nov-12
- It was too short of the line I am afraid. I featured Corn instead as that was closest to 10. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 00:41, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

Well in my defence it was very late for me when I noticed nothing had been queued up for Saturday.

Is this draft acceptable to post?
Hello. I am writing to you about a draft of mine. As it is about my school, I am apprehensive about posting it. I have received advice from Bizzeebeever (bottom of page) and Snippy, and bb said to ask someone else about it. The url of the draft is http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User:Equilateralperil/Drafts
I would appreciate it if you informed me of anything that needs changing/removal. Thank you
Equilateralperil (talk) 14:05, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
- I had a look at your article. It falls into a category which is usually described as 'town cruft/college cruft/etc' in that the joke is about a place or people that no one else is going to understand unless they have gone to there. It is a bit subjective sometimes as it can depend on the size or significance of a place. For example, an article about Harvard or Oxford universities would be fine, though that would depend if it was actually funny. I am not sure why having Michael Schumacher as the head of the school is funny but considering his driving this year for Mercedes Grand Prix he was best advised to stay retired. You could mainspace your article but there is a chance that when we have a regular trawl looking for articles that are not funny it could get deleted on the grounds of obscurity. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 14:59, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
- I looked at it too and concur. It seems torn between telling a serious story and telling jokes that assume you are enrolled there. It has way too much detail for the rest of us (the signature colors of each residence hall?) and a bit too much gap between the jokes. The list of sports is tedious; making something like this twice as long doesn't make it twice as funny. It might belong in mainspace, but with more attention paid to the comedy needs of the non-student. No one can do this but the author. (Personal disclosure: I am maintaining one piece of college cruft against Anons who are enrolled there: Michigan Tech.) Spıke Ѧ 15:31 5-Nov-12
Thanks to both of you for reading. I will change/omit the head of the school and the motto, and my references to one of the campuses as the "Little Freakin' Learning Centre" and to one of the house's "[reputations] for winning", as they are examples of the obscure humour that you have explained above to be not suitable to Uncyclopedia. I will also remove the "Co-curricular Activities" section, which is silly, and remove the house colours from the table. I tried to resist the urge to make the article wholly esoteric when writing it, but evidently I haven't entirely succeeded. Also, based on what Bizzeebeever and Snippy said about the article (links in my first post above), I'm hoping that I could have done a lot worse. To be honest, the contrast between what they said and what you have both said surprised me, but I understand completely why you have said it. Regardless, I think it goes without saying that I regret the decision I made yesterday to write about my school. I will only mainspace the article after the aforementioned editing, making changes to try and ensure that the article is suitable for non-students, and then again asking you.
Equilateralperil (talk) 16:43, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
- Good grief! don't regret anything. The worst that will happen to you here, wherever the article winds up, is a useful learning experience regarding writing for total strangers. Spıke Ѧ 17:08 5-Nov-12
- No need to regret anything EP. If you get stuck on an article, start another one in your user space. Write about something not covered here or improve an article that is in need of work. Something I do all the time. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 18:02, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
Romartus, on the most recent email I sent to you, I requested that you please unlock my userpages so that I can make the necessary (and possibly final) edits to resolve the issue of hiatus-ing. This edit will not involve a redirect.
Thanks. User:Aimsplode/sigx1 21:34, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Done. Anymore redirecting nonsense and I will re-lock them and impose a user ban. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 08:34, November 8, 2012 (UTC)
In order to minimize the effects of time, would it be possible for you to break your every-other-day rule and feature the UnPresidential Debate article tomorrow? ~jcm 04:55, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

- I don't mind SPIKE. I could come up with something for that space but you are closer to the source over there. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 12:59, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
- We are all equally close to Wikipedia, and you seem to care, while I'm no more interested in him than in Arianna Huffington or Paris Hilton. Perhaps some tag-team editing as we did on Jam Jesus. Spıke Ѧ 13:04 10-Nov-12
- OK will at least finish an article in that space. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 13:06, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I made the next move (acquisitions and idiosyncracies) and removed {{WIP}}. The biggest remaining omission now is regarding his TV shows, which I have never seen. 13:38 Never mind; I did The Apprentice and its spin-offs, and the only thing needed now is whatever flourishes you might add. Spıke Ѧ 14:33 10-Nov-12

Er...let me know if he does after my disclaimer....--RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 14:37, November 29, 2012 (UTC)
Very good, thanks. By the same token I trust you are not one of this morning's two winners of "Megabucks" so I don't have to trot out years' worth of petty intellectual "debts" (and perhaps a claim of a distant common ancestor) for payment. Spıke Ѧ 14:53 29-Nov-12

Aimsplode reborn
Actually....I have decided to resume my Uncyclopedia activities under a new hat - Narco†→»X§. A redirect from my old page has been added and it redirects to User:Narco†→»X§.
I am in the process of making a new sig and revamping my account and it's features. Stay tuned. A redirct will also be added from my old talk page to my new one, just a heads up. I'd like to hear any suggestions. --User:Aimsplode/sigx1 22:58, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
- Wouldn't appreciate my suggestion: that such navel-gazing attention to your new incarnation makes it supremely unlikely that it will produce any more amusing new mainspace content than under the old identity. A constant user name is a useful thing; it lets us relate contributions to a history that we know, blemishes, bans and all. Frequent name changes is fundamentally an attempt to run away from facts, no matter what you claim you had in mind. Be who you were. No one is fooled. Spıke Ѧ 01:11 10-Nov-12
- Aimsplode. You were banned before for messing around. I have had enough of your disruptive activity. You were offered the chance to close an account down and return as a new user but instead you want to stick redirects around and confuse people you want to talk to. You asked for your pages to be unlocked to tidy up but you have done the reverse. You know what happens next. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 12:56, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
- I have relocked your user page/discussion page for Aimsplode and your new false account. If you want to carry on here, log in as Narcot or whatever. You're within a gnat's kneecap of a permanent ban. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 13:14, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Gnats have kneecaps?....never mind. I have decided to stay under the hat of Aimsplode, so my pages will need to be unlocked, again...because they're going to actually be used. Also unlock the alias's pages so I can QVFD them, or you can just huff them, which is easier. →A (Ruins) 14:04, November 10, 2012 (UTC)

Help! I did not see that there was an image under this name, and stuck a caricature on top of a portrait submitted by MadMax.

Banning people based on their usernames
Hey Romartus, I was wondering why you banned this user based on his username. I thought we came to an understanding in September. None of Sir Dunglickers edits are in any way malicious, and instead clearly resemble the edits of a new user experimenting with adding content to our site. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 06:59, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
- It wasn't the name but he called himself 'Sir Dunglicker' which I understand you can only do if you have an article featured. Dunglicker by itself was fine. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 08:21, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
- I hadn't noticed I had banned him for an infinite time. That was the mistake. Should have been one day. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 08:22, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Not calling yourself Sir unless you have a featured article is part of the signature policy. And banning somebody forever instead for just one day is a HUGE mistake, especially with the site in state it is currently in. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 08:35, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
- I hadn't noticed I had banned him for an infinite time. That was the mistake. Should have been one day. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 08:22, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
I have four old nominations of the VfH which need to be put out of their misery. Would you? --~Leverage 12:13, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
- I give articles 30 days to reach the front page. I will check the dates. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 12:30, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
Fakehater (Talk • Contribs (del) • Editcount • Block (rem-lst-all) • Logs • Groups) just retired one of my articles from the VfH (which you had deigned to leave) and voted for about 12 articles in his first hour of activity. Is that iffy or am I getting suspicious in my old Noobyness? --~Leverage 19:17, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
- In his very brief life he has done more than vote (see Pratt Korp); he has applied a flurry of changes from the good (spelling corrections) to the bad (Americanize spelling to articles written or edited by a Brit) to the ugly (insertion of not bad, but possibly random, adjectives). Spıke Ѧ 20:13 20-Nov-12
- PS--He voted For on 10 articles on VFH and Against on 6. That is not suspicious as in vendetta. It is at most monopolizing the punch bowl after crashing the party. However, depending on how it is reacted to, we risk driving away another competent user of the English language. Spıke Ѧ 20:36 20-Nov-12
- I will leave a message on his talk page. See what happens. It is that or asking Wikia for checkuser. Some of the voting does look suspiciously rapid for a noob. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 20:38, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Cool, I agree with Spike, it's not in our interest to drive away possibly useful new users. It just surprised me that a noobie would know/take it upon himself to retire an article and even make a typical pun about why it didn't get featured, but maybe that kind of knowledge and front is possible if he has used other Wikia pages, I don't know these things. --~Leverage 22:09, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Having said that about his tech knowledge, he just voted for the article of mine he retired! LOL. A weird one. --~Leverage 22:11, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Indeed, some of his votes have included specific comments. Leverage, how does a voter "retire" a nomination from VFH? Please include links in your messages in case readers want specifics. Spıke Ѧ 11:30 21-Nov-12
What I meant by "retired" was that the nom was put into "recently failed". It now says the nom was closed by Snippy, but when I first noticed it was gone I believe it said Fakehater had closed it. http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Uncyclopedia:VFH/Failed - specifically the Lance Armstrong story. As with the votes, I have no problem with the user's action (see the first post in this thread, it was one of the old stories I referred to) but it just seemed curiously active and adept for someone´s first hour on the site. --~Leverage 12:15, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
- The history of that page shows that Romartus marked it as failed, then some hours later, Snippy exercised the "poopsmithing" function of moving it to the Failed list (or corrected a Romartus omission). You may have seen Fakehater's change first, without reading exactly what his change was. He didn't close out the nomination; in fact, he did not even have the evil sophistication to avoid voting on a nomination that had already been closed. Spıke Ѧ 12:26 21-Nov-12
- PS--Fakehater is now doing some authentic patrol of Anons on RecentChanges. Haven't studied his record in its entirety, but he could qualify for Autopatrolled soon. Spıke Ѧ 00:40 23-Nov-12
- Thanks Spike. I noticed Fakehater hasn't responded to my message on the talk page. I want my suspicions laid to rest. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 07:07, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Koch Brothers on VFH
Please prepare to yank this nomination. The languishing discussion (though the website is also languishing) suggests that the page is not suitably long. But I am not inclined to fluff it up, as it addresses everything the average reader knows about the secretive Brothers, as the only time their name is used is by Democrats claiming they lead Republicans by the nostrils, and touches the full range of controversy exposed by the Wikipedia article. For a page like this, injecting Randumbo is not a solution either. Spıke Ѧ 12:52 20-Nov-12
- It hasn't got to a negative 3 so I think you're being a bit premature regards the votes unless you want to take it away and edit/improve more. I can see of the 'brothers' (the 'Right Brothers') angle here so I would like to see if it gets more voter traction. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 13:22, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
- The Coke Brothers? Cola or Pepsi? --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 13:24, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
Very well. Again, I think it is the right length right now, or at least seizing on a superficial aspect such as "brothers" (although I do exactly this in the See Also) wouldn't work. And I do make a Coca-Cola joke at the start. Spıke Ѧ 13:27 20-Nov-12
PS--Thank you for your, um, faith; and I have done more study; Wikipedia being Wikipedia, each tentacle of the Koch octopus has an article. Thus I have found a couple new directions in which to tug this effort. Spıke Ѧ 17:04 20-Nov-12
The article could benefit from an initial quote. Romartus, can you improve on this?
"Bartender, I think I might like to such a Koch"Spıke Ѧ 11:31 21-Nov-12
- I have thrown some in. Weak puns perhaps...--RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 12:02, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, and thanks for the links too. But I'll delete the "Wright" quote, as it explains a joke, and before it is even told. Spıke Ѧ 12:14 21-Nov-12

Can you give me your opinion on Romance of the Three Kingdoms?--SirPeasewhizzdeNewYork Click here to talk 20:48, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link. Checking your story and the wikipedia link, I have to ask one question. Is 'turbin' a mispelling for turban or did you mean 'turbine'? Also the story does rely on a reader following a lot of unfamiliar names - my knowledge of Asian history in general is largely restricted to a few dynastic names (Ming, Sung etc) or a couple of individuals, like Genghiz Khan and Kublai Khan. So makes some of the jokes obscure. The use of anarchronisms is fine but then I wondered how much is this is in the 'game' and how much comes from the actual history of the event. I wasn't sure since you start off describing what I think is a game but then I don't see that element returning in the main story. A good example of using a game/real event in my view was this one All Quiet on the Western Front. Saying all this, your article is well set out and runs pretty well in my view. A few tweaks and perhaps some of the ideas that don't go anywhere (Arnold Schwarzenegger reference in my view) and you will have it. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 11:08, November 24, 2012 (UTC)
Isle of Man
Am having a difficult evening with new user Lost-interest, which I am on the verge of making even worse after complaining on his talk page. Please keep an eye on the situation. Spıke Ѧ 01:16 25-Nov-12
- I checked the history of the page and this user. Lost-interest first appeared here in 2009 and created the Isle of Man article. No other contributions to any other article. I have locked the page for now until Lost-interest leaves a message. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 21:14, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
Maybe that's excessive, but it will wear off in a week anyway. After I wrote you, and undid most of his work (Simsilikesims had already rolled him back to the evening's Anon, though they are surely the same person), he got one edit in that was not war, and may have seen that I saw it. Later I found a way to readd his photo of Mark Cavendish rather than just assert that he is an inbred cock etc. Spıke Ѧ 21:32 25-Nov-12
- Actually he didn't create it, re-checked the history again. I thought I had reached the oldest page but was incorrect. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 21:40, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
Yup, it seems to have been trashed and un-trashed repeatedly over its long life. Most of the trashing has been by IP (why am I seeing a group of teens in a booth at a Manx pub with a laptop?) and perhaps in the long term it wants to be restricted to Autoconfirmed. Spıke Ѧ 21:52 25-Nov-12
PS--Thanks for that change--what do you think about making that protection level permanent? And Lost-interest and I have kissed and made up on his talk page. Spıke Ѧ 23:19 25-Nov-12

- I suggest this is moved to a sub page for now. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 12:42, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Mr. Ex, I personally think the newspaper columns of Paul Krugman reflect "laughably" bad economics (and his is not fanart but paid commentary), but it would not be humor but jaunty ridicule for me to try to get other Uncyclopedians to laugh at them, and I would certainly not import an entire column verbatim to try to achieve that effect. Spıke Ѧ 14:40 27-Nov-12
- I am intrigued. Who is the anti-Krugman in this debate? --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 15:41, November 27, 2012 (UTC)
Well, what do you know, your cartoon--in fact, your entire subpage--or perhaps it was your Change Summary, since wikia isin't going to stop us yet... now does seem to have got their attention. Spıke Ѧ 19:29 27-Nov-12
Bullshit Mountain
I see you tagged this piece (which is not unrelated to my Paul Krugman analogy above). I challenged the author on his talk page, to which he replied by blanking his talk page, one section at a time. Have I driven away another? Spıke Ѧ 14:43 27-Nov-12
- A Shy Guy. Don't think so. Like the idea of that article though since it is a truism in a more general sense. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 15:17, November 27, 2012 (UTC)
But, just like the previous subject, it is not "Let me make you laugh with my writing" but "Let's laugh together at how dumb I think this guy/institution is." Spıke Ѧ 15:26 27-Nov-12
Green ink
This is now begun with {{Construction}}, and thank you for the "assignment."
I call in the Change Summary for anyone to insert a standing order to make all the text green. (In fact, the background ought to look like parchment.) You are also welcome to add photos, notably of the tinfoil hat; if you leave it to me, it will wait until tonight, when I move from my metered cell-phone Internet back to the WiFi-equipped gymnasium (where the on-the-court action is disappointing this year, most of the championship team having graduated last summer). Spıke Ѧ 12:43 28-Nov-12
- That works as a good intro Spike. Then examples written in the style of an obsessive? --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 13:48, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
That is the obvious direction in which to take it, or end it--perhaps too obvious. At the moment, I am writing History, using Wikipedia to see how many directions it can be taken. Spıke Ѧ 14:00 28-Nov-12
Well, it's done except for illustrations. I figured out how to use green ink (copying the article Silver). Used British spelling, of course; however, Section 4, on popular current conspiracy theories, is US-centric because I don't know what the current analogs are there, so feel free to add a couple. I don't like External Links but felt compelled to point to your citation from
tigerpens.co.uk as an UnNews would list its Source. "For further study" is indeed written in the style of an obsessive. Spıke Ѧ 16:27 28-Nov-12
PS--I changed the caption on one of your fine illustrations. Bizzeebeever came in later and changed all your

[Image:. Spıke Ѧ 22:49 28-Nov-12
- I've read somewhere that "Image:" is a deprecated namespace. I have no idea what that means, but it sounds bad. :D ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Wed, Nov 28 '12 23:21 (UTC)
- I have been using 'image' for the last four years. I had noticed other writers had used 'file' instead so thought it was 6 of 12 and half a dozen of the other (i.e. no practical difference). --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 08:57, November 29, 2012 (UTC)
"For further study" now has an extra helping of paranoia--but, like the Examples section, contains a lot of US-centric data in a supposedly British article. You are welcome to moderate the paranoia and/or put this section in character. Spıke Ѧ 13:37 29-Nov-12

|Main article: Plot of Naruto
Twelve years before the start of the series, the Nine-Tails attacked Konohagakure destroying much of the village and taking many lives. The leader of the village, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails into a newborn, Naruto Uzumaki. Orphaned by the attack, Naruto was shunned by the villagers, who out of fear and anger, viewed him as the Nine-Tails itself. Though the Third Hokage outlawed speaking about anything related to the Nine-Tails, the children — taking their cues from their parents — inherited the same animosity towards Naruto. In his thirst to be acknowledged, Naruto vowed he would one day become the greatest Hokage the village had ever seen.
|Latest Chapter
As Sarada's punch sends many enemies flying, Naruto and his clones scare the other opponents by showing them a glimpse of who's inside his body. Chōchō compliments Sarada's strength, with the other kunoichi questioning her father about his feelings for her mother. Sasuke merely answers that he and Sakura have Sarada. After returning to Konoha, Shin's clones are brought to the Konoha Orphanage, where Kabuto presents himself as their new father, with Urushi at his side thinking about whether to give a name to every one of them.

Yeah, its reasonable to do maybe a song together, but you know...an album.
I think the whole dating and writing together business is so risky! I mean imagine all the songs that would have been scrapped after the break because of Brian's involvement (which is a shame). I think Delta mixes business and love way too much, well more than what is career-wise smart to do.
That's just begging for trouble.

Beautiful blog post as always. I love this blog, because it always makes me feel happier about one day being old and knowing that I won't have to sacrifice my style or need to dress beautifully, to fall in accordane with an old person stereotype.
I admire all these women for wearing what they want to wear, and think it's great how this blog shares their unique style with a greater audience.
I think I also looked at this post and realised how much 'en manque' of a quirky pair of sunglasses (or just glasses) I am.
Gorgeous post with gorgeous colouring and very inspirational.
I especially love how chic and vibrant red&black are together. Perfect for Valentine's Day!
Honestly can not wait to see more of this! Perfection.

There's a word— albeit one not recognized by the Oxford English Dictionary or any psychology manual— for the excessive fear of clowns: Coulrophobia.
From This Story
Related Content
Not a lot of people actually suffer from a debilitating phobia of clowns; a lot more people, however, just don't like them. Do a Google search for "I hate clowns" and the first hit is ihateclowns.com, a forum for clown-haters that also offers vanity @ihateclowns.com emails. One "I Hate Clowns" Facebook page has just under 480,000 likes. Some circuses have held workshops to help visitors get over their fear of clowns by letting them watch performers transform into their clown persona. In Sarasota, Florida, in 2006, communal loathing for clowns took a criminal turn when dozens of fiberglass clown statues—part of a public art exhibition called "Clowning Around Town" and a nod to the city's history as a winter haven for traveling circuses—were defaced, their limbs broken, heads lopped off, spray-painted; two were abducted and we can only guess at their sad fates.
Even the people who are supposed to like clowns—children—supposedly don't. In 2008, a widely reported University of Sheffield, England, survey of 250 children between the ages of four and 16 found that most of the children disliked and even feared images of clowns. The BBC's report on the study featured a child psychologist who broadly declared, "Very few children like clowns. They are unfamiliar and come from a different era. They don't look funny, they just look odd."
But most clowns aren't trying to be odd. They're trying to be silly and sweet, fun personified. So the question is, when did the clown, supposedly a jolly figure of innocuous, kid-friendly entertainment, become so weighed down by fear and sadness? When did clowns become so dark?
Maybe they always have been.
Clowns, as pranksters, jesters, jokers, harlequins, and mythologized tricksters have been around for ages. They appear in most cultures—Pygmy clowns made Egyptian pharaohs laugh in 2500 BCE; in ancient imperial China, a court clown called YuSze was, according to the lore, the only guy who could poke holes in Emperor Qin Shih Huang's plan to paint the Great Wall of China; Hopi Native Americans had a tradition of clown-like characters who interrupted serious dance rituals with ludicrous antics. Ancient Rome's clown was a stock fool called the stupidus; the court jesters of medieval Europe were a sanctioned way for people under the feudal thumb to laugh at the guys in charge; and well into the 18th and 19th century, the prevailing clown figure of Western Europe and Britain was the pantomime clown, who was a sort of bumbling buffoon.
But clowns have always had a dark side, says David Kiser, director of talent for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. After all, these were characters who reflected a funhouse mirror back on society; academics note that their comedy was often derived from their voracious appetites for food, sex, and drink, and their manic behavior. "So in one way, the clown has always been an impish spirit… as he's kind of grown up, he's always been about fun, but part of that fun has been a bit of mischief," says Kiser.
"Mischief" is one thing; homicidal urges is certainly another. What's changed about clowns is how that darkness is manifest, argued Andrew McConnell Stott, Dean of Undergraduate Education and an English professor at the University of Buffalo, SUNY.
Stott is the author of several articles on scary clowns and comedy, as well as The Pantomime Life of Joseph Grimaldi, a much-lauded 2009 biography of the famous comic pantomime player on the Regency London stage. Grimaldi was the first recognizable ancestor of the modern clown, sort of the Homo erectus of clown evolution. He's the reason why clowns are still sometimes called "Joeys"; though his clowning was of a theatrical and not circus tradition, Grimaldi is so identified with modern clowns that a church in east London has conducted a Sunday service in his honor every year since 1959, with congregants all dressed in full clown regalia.
In his day, he was hugely visible: It was claimed that a full eighth of London's population had seen Grimaldi on stage. Grimaldi made the clown the leading character of the pantomime, changing the way he looked and acted. Before him, a clown may have worn make-up, but it was usually just a bit of rouge on the cheeks to heighten the sense of them being florid, funny drunks or rustic yokels. Grimaldi, however, suited up in bizarre, colorful costumes, stark white face paint punctuated by spots of bright red on his cheeks and topped with a blue mohawk. He was a master of physical comedy—he leapt in the air, stood on his head, fought himself in hilarious fisticuffs that had audiences rolling in the aisles—as well as of satire lampooning the absurd fashions of the day, comic impressions, and ribald songs.
But because Grimaldi was such a star, the character he'd invented became closely associated with him. And Grimaldi's real life was anything but comedy—he'd grown up with a tyrant of a stage father; he was prone to bouts of depression; his first wife died during childbirth; his son was an alcoholic clown who'd drank himself to death by age 31; and Grimaldi's physical gyrations, the leaps and tumbles and violent slapstick that had made him famous, left him in constant pain and prematurely disabled. As Grimaldi himself joked, "I am GRIM ALL DAY, but I make you laugh at night." That Grimaldi could make a joke about it highlights how well known his tragic real life was to his audiences.
Enter the young Charles Dickens. After Grimaldi died penniless and an alcoholic in 1837 (the coroner's verdict: "Died by the visitation of God"), Dickens was charged with editing Grimaldi's memoirs. Dickens had already hit upon the dissipated, drunken clown theme in his 1836 The Pickwick Papers. In the serialized novel, he describes an off-duty clown—reportedly inspired by Grimaldi's son—whose inebriation and ghastly, wasted body contrasted with his white face paint and clown costume. Unsurprisingly, Dickens' version of Grimadli's life was, well, Dickensian, and, Stott says, imposed a "strict economy": For every laugh he wrought from his audiences, Grimaldi suffered commensurate pain.
Stott credits Dickens with watering the seeds in popular imagination of the scary clown—he'd even go so far as to say Dickens invented the scary clown—by creating a figure who is literally destroying himself to make his audiences laugh. What Dickens did was to make it difficult to look at a clown without wondering what was going on underneath the make-up: Says Stott, "It becomes impossible to disassociate the character from the actor." That Dickens's version of Grimaldi's memoirs was massively popular meant that this perception, of something dark and troubled masked by humor, would stick.
Meanwhile, on the heels of Grimaldi's fame in Britain, the major clown figure on the Continent was Jean-Gaspard Deburau's Pierrot, a clown with white face paint punctuated by red lips and black eyebrows whose silent gesticulations delighted French audiences. Deburau was as well known on the streets of Paris as Grimaldi was in London, recognized even without his make-up. But where Grimaldi was tragic, Deburau was sinister: In 1836, Deburau killed a boy with a blow from his walking stick after the youth shouted insults at him on the street (he was ultimately acquitted of the murder). So the two biggest clowns of the early modern clowning era were troubled men underneath that face-paint.

Hey Fandyllic, I'm just wondering how you do citations on subjects where this isn't really a clear source.

Tankingmage (talk) 10:21, July 31, 2013 (UTC)
- You can cite forums. Just give a link to a long thread with several mentions. Sources don't always have to be super clear, but claims with no sources are generally bad. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 31 Jul 2013 5:38 AM Pacific

Editing rights
Tankingmage brought it up that anons aren't able to edit here. I double checked, and it seems it has been this way for a very long time; it seems counter-intuitive, though, if we're trying to attract new editors. I'd like to lift that if it's all right with you, as we should be able to handle any unwelcome activity between the four of us - plus, I can let VSTF know to keep an eye on things for a bit. Worst case scenario we can always just flip the switch back. Raylan13 (talk) 17:17, August 20, 2013 (UTC)
- I'm okay with it if you and Tankingmage are willing to take the extra burden of handling anons. On the other wikis I've admin'd I can't say allowing anons is a great way to attract new editors. Most anons are users who are not motivated enough to register, so tend not to be good editors. I don't have great confidence in VSTF, but maybe we won't run into the problems they aren't good at helping with.
- We should do a trial for like 3 months maybe and if we don't get alot of extra good editors, we can poll the community about turning it off. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 20 Aug 2013 10:06 AM Pacific
Hi Fandyllic, it's been a while :)
I just wanted to check that you have seen the post on Central about Darwin and the introduction of w:c:community:Thread:562302 fluid layout. I wanted to check with you in particular, because it will affect WoWWiki slightly differently from other wikis. In your case, those on lower resolutions may see the content area reduce to a minimum of 700px (from the current static 880px). However those affected should be those who currently see a scrollbar on the current layout - they will be losing width in return for the gain of no side-scrolling issues. Those with higher resolutions will have a wider content area, up to 1270px. People on tablets will have a slightly different layout to maximize the article width.

Map template
Hello there.
Just wanted to ask if I may copy and use Template:Map on another wiki?

Anonymous Users
So far the change seems positive, sure there are quite a few trolls, but from my point of view it's better to rollback 5 vandalisms than create a whole new article, like some anons do. The spelling and grammar fix is nice too. I know you said anons are often people who aren't motivated enough to make an account, but I think once people see how simple it is to edit it will encourage them to make a wikia account. The new Visual editor should help too. These are just some thoughts Tankingmage (talk) 00:03, September 6, 2013 (UTC)
- The impact of anons hasn't been too bad so far, but the positive contributions haven't been significantly positive either. The jury is still out, but it may tilt more toward the positive over time. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 6 Sep 2013 7:26 PM Pacific

XML properties vs XML attributes, and other stuff
So what I did to resolve this was an obvious punt for now, with two 'list pages' (XML attributes and XML properties), but is consistant and fucntional. I re-made XML properties (page and category) to list the complex element properties, and changed 'XML attributes' (page and category) to list the simple single value types, which are always written here in WoW as attribuites, rather than elements. Fun to talk about I know. The pages for now should have clear markings now to disambiguate, and none of the attributes have their own pages, but if did would typicaly link to the base element or type that defines them, for a in-depth definition or context, anyway.

Trouble with Gregity acct
Hi Fandyllic, I (Gregity) logged in yesterday and made a change to an old page - some minor updates. When I tried to login today, it said my password is invalid and when I had it send me one I never got it. I checked the spam - still no luck. I made some more changes to the page today but because I couldn't sign in they were anony. The page is AddOn_programming_tutorial/Introduction.

Main Page Revamp
Heya I was wondering what you thought of this main page - the slider and/or the layout. I've been looking at our site for some time and thought we might benefit from an overhaul of the main page. I think the above wiki comes closest to what we might need.
I would be working on it, and it would take a couple of days at least to implement and troubleshoot. I think you're familiar with JoePlay; he'd be assisting, since he knows the creator and has done it before. Maintenance of the slider portion would then fall to me with subsequent expansions - unless you want to poke around to get a feel for it, of course.
Let me know what you think - I'm leaving a message on Macrophager's and Servian's pages, as well as Tankingmage (since he's up-and-coming). Raylan13 (talk) 19:37, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Just a thought. The font to background contrast on that site is very low in a bad way, if you were implementing the colors and transparency with a background like that, and the black borders amplify the readability issues. Here it's consistant across the span of the page with a light border to match the text. While we are at it, there is some JS here that absolutely kills long pages that could be addressed. Speed needs to go up to make google happy, and the users. Celess (talk) 19:46, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Don't worry about the color/font schemes, as those would be tweaked to reflect what currently exists here. The slider they've got is my main focus, but if there's other elements that might work well, those are actually very easy to incorporate. Due to how long it takes to set up, implement, and then troubleshoot, I could do a non-functional mock up to give an idea of how things would flow. Raylan13 (talk) 23:51, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't comment on the slider because I didn't even notice it! Now that I've used it, it is kind of cool, but we would have to to do a much better job of making the controls discoverable. A non-functional mockup would be great. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 7 Oct 2013 10:27 AM Pacific
- I'm hoping to get a rough drawn up this week, work load permitting. One thing I know we'll definitely add to our potential version is a "home" button that would take users back to the beginning of the slides. Another thing I have to consider is that the original dev is thinking of rewriting the code, but we could implement those changes down the line. Raylan13 (talk) 18:46, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

WoWWiki Revamp
Slightly related but I think needed for a while, one step closer to faster portals: http://www.wowwiki.com/Portal:Main/User_News vs http://www.wowwiki.com/Portal:Main/User_News-lite. Is on main portal now, updating the others. There are a few comments in the inner template. Celess (talk) 03:12, October 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Good to see that someone who actually knows what they're doing is fixing some of the inefficient code I hacked together. I did a little work to make Portal:Main-lite look like current Portal:Main.

- A major reshuffle involving almost all the portal tempaltes has been done. You can see the current state here Portal_talk:World_of_Warcraft.

Celess (talk) 20:21, October 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Just to let everyone know, I swapped two sections of the CSS, near the end. It should be fine. But just wanted to give heads up. Anything looks odd let me know. Most of this ongoing effort is for performance, and to assist maintainability while I'm going though all this already. :) Celess (talk) 18:41, October 16, 2013 (UTC)

- right on... :) After a lot of looking, Wikia implementation is doing everything on the client, as opposed to just emitting in the head the first time. Wikipedia looks like it uses the same load.php mechanism, but gets a significant number of imports in head on the original doc. Can observe by turning off JS, like in safari dev menu, and hit Rush (Band), in honor of Canadian Thanksgiving, and look at the head. If you look at ours, all of JS is added to the doc by client side inline JS code, in the body at the bottom, which gives horrible locked page effects on load.

Something happened on Wikia side
I think its them not us. Both 'chat' and 'wikia' sprite images not loading anymore. The oasis links look like: .skin-oasis .sprite { background-color: transparent; background-image: url(); background-repeat: no-repeat; } But they are 404. If you remove the modifier __cb62369/ they load. There was some kind of disturbance in the force over an hour ago. Dun think i can fix this. The google cache version shows same code we have here [1].

There was, I missed a word. Have to wait for next JS/CSS cycle. Should be good now. Celess (talk) 05:04, October 29, 2013 (UTC)
FYI: About to degradation test Tabber tabs, like what they look like when plugin fails or page not loaded yet. Will be about 20 min or so. Just won't be tabs, content will be there. Celess (talk) 22:30, October 29, 2013 (UTC)
Ok, so tabber now works correctly, like intended. :) If the JS doesn't load, it looks like regular wiki with tab background. Also the tab extents now properly include all tab content and the extra { {clr} } is no longer necessary, and a bunch of other stuff.... Authors can just make tabs and and will just 'do the right thing'. ;) Also, the TOC (due to the old pop-out) will no longer split headings or do other funky things as far as breaking the rest of the layout. I think this was an issue forever, and if a page that before could not tolerate the wrath of the TOC, maybe now could. The WM 'over three headings' default thing may be now OK again. Any questions concerns or otherwise, please let me know. Going to finish integrating the Tabber CSS now, the then back to the rest of wherever else I left off. Celess (talk) 17:08, October 30, 2013 (UTC)
Also, its important to note that the actual Tabber styling, is as I found it. However you are now afforded more opportunities to bend the CSS as you see fit, and directly here in our own CSS files. In an hour or so will be done integrating. Celess (talk) 17:13, October 30, 2013 (UTC)
Disabling TOC pop-out for a while for testing. :) Celess (talk) 23:58, October 30, 2013 (UTC)
Done using Death Knight as guinea pig :). Rounded corners were reconciled site wide as target of opportunity and because it was old and crusty, which mostly means that IE gets rounded corners and support was shifted to support modern browsers and sets of older phones target, i.e. Webkit: Safari 3-4, iOS 1-3.2, Android ≤1.6 and CSS3: Opera 10.5+, IE9+, Safari 5+, Chrome, FF4+, iOS 4+, Android 2.1+. :) Also sub-portal menu was rearranged to make Mists first to match the main portal and has consistant lightly roundy corners on tabs, though still needs love. Other stuff. Celess (talk) 05:11, October 31, 2013 (UTC)
--> After this last pass, should there should be another good sized bump in speed across all browsers. Check Portal:Main, which is a good litmus test. Client speed is good enough now that you should be able to easily tell which phase the load process is in 1) blank waiting as page un-cached on server and building, 2) client is loading body, 3) free to scroll / 'roam about the cabin'. Generally 1) cant be helped, except maybe 20% due to template and MW costs, and only by loweirng page size and template complexity. Is also a one time thing, for usually one single person, until next cache clear which may be months apart. The 2) is the most important, and is where someone can finally scroll down, as what's on top is almost never what they are after, this part should be much better. 3) the smoothness of the 'post-load' load should be far more reasonable. I'm not done, but the irritation level should be much lower and far more consummate with the 700K level and beyond. Celess (talk) 21:10, November 2, 2013 (UTC)

- Is the Q&A on your page from the WoW Q + A About Almost Everything?, if so that's awesome. You could put it at BlizzCon 2013/WoW Q & A About Almost Everything and work on it there. It needs mostly only a little formatting and a legend for the various Blizz people name abbreviations (TC = Tom Chilton, etc.).
- It is done! Also, I think the closest thing we have to the WoW head development team is. It would be nice to have a 'normal page' for them I think. I'll add in some of the developers to the new page or the category page, depending on what we decide. It's pretty out of date. I also want to know, where do we have a page for running blizzard jokes.

New Wiki SlideShow feature
Hey so I asked Celess how difficult it would be to make the Main page promo a slideshow, as he did it. I just wanted to know what you and Raylan thought of it, cause we can change it back if you don't like it. Macrophager (talk) 01:22, December 8, 2013 (UTC)
- There's not so much a new format with the promo. You now have the option of adding generic rotating 'wiki' banners or slide shows where ever, including any of the the promo, with modern trimmings. I tested additionally with existing Portal:Main promo and let it rotate with the WoD promo and the WoW portal promo. While testing I think Macophager decided he wanted to take it for a spin. He swapped videos for a few regualar WoW promotions. They all seem to work.
- For the tool itself, I left it pretty basic because I know there were probably some specific features you and Raylan13 were going for in the earlier effort several months ago, so they could be added. Can find more detail here User talk:Celess22##Slide_Show. And seperately, the map Coords are fixed now for the map hover popup. :) Celess (talk) 02:50, December 8, 2013 (UTC)
OK 'slide' effect was added, as previously only had 'fade', and goes only to the left atm. Can see on MediaWiki:SlideShow/Test with the logos. Just to reiterate, this is a general facility and wiki template. Can have any number of 'SlideShows' on a page, and up to 5 slides at the moment, limited by the template which you guys can change as you wish. I also added back the '75% off wow' promo slide on Main/Promos that go lost while Mac and I were playing with it. I still need to put docs on the template and feel free to ask for features, now is good. Its wide open to do whatever. Celess (talk) 20:49, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

The admin, that would help for not having to do the protected pages by hand, sine you mentioned it. Definitly not put on admin list which I sure you wouldn't. :) Celess22 (talk) 03:46, December 30, 2013 (UTC)
- MediaWiki or Wikia must have changed how Special:UserRights works. Oh well. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 29 Dec 2013 8:08 PM Pacific
- Yeah. its stated on community somewhere. One place says contact wikia staff, other place says bureaucrat. Must have been issues like with css common. Celess22 (talk) 04:35, December 30, 2013 (UTC)
Sylvanas a Death Knight?
I address you by this present to ask them the following, Sylvanas Windrunner is possibly a Death Knight as she is capable of using two characteristics of these same skills, skills like "Army of the Dead" and "Death Grip" that by the way used in the raid End Time in addition, their skills are a derivative of the skills of a Death Knight profane but adding the use of a bow, I propose to put Sylvanas Windrunner as a possible Death Knight and other users to deemed, shall we? Clow864 (talk) 01:05, January 16, 2014 (UTC)
- In short, no. Just because Sylvanas appears to share some death knight abilities does not make her a death knight. We know she is supposed to be a dark ranger, but we don't know what that means as far as abilities. Dark rangers could easily share abilities with a death knight, so that doesn't make them death knights also.
- as well is said that a Ranger has magic skills and warrior, that does not make a warrior or mage and yet there is listed as one then you if a Ranger is a Magician and Warrior a 'Dark Ranger "is a" Necromancer "and" Warrior "with a bow, it as well makes it one Death Knight as well is said that a Ranger has magic skills and warrior, that does not make a warrior or mage and yet there is listed as one then you if a Ranger is a Magician and Warrior a 'Dark Ranger "is a" Necromancer "and" Warrior "with a bow, it as well makes it one Death Knight Clow864 (talk) 23:36, January 16, 2014 (UTC)
- The other classes listed there are no more correct than death knight, unless they have a lore or in-game source. Also, the combinations of classes you state don't make one the other. A ranger IS NOT a magician and a warrior. So your whole argument starts on shaky ground. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 17 Jan 2014 8:54 AM Pacific
- First read the part where it talks about the Elven Rangers in the following link: Ranger#Elven_ranger clearly says that elite warriors are capable of doing amazing things with their bows then read this link : Elven ranger third paragraph clearly speaks from magic used by the Elven ranger, also read: Dark ranger point that named "Background" speaks clearly Sylvanas change traditional magic of elven rangers by necromancy (that's becomes a necromancer which does not appear in the tags) and finally: Death_knight notes on notes clearly states that the death knight must be warriors or paladins and gives the coincidence that in the tags Sylvanas figure as a warrior, then Sylvanas Windrunner qualify to be tagged as a Death Knight in the same way that qualifies to be tagged as a Warrior Clow864 (talk) 02:27, January 18, 2014 (UTC)
- You can put it on the Sylvanas Windrunner's talk page. No need for a separate page. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 18 Jan 2014 9:40 PM Pacific
- Alredy put it on the discussion page and another administrator (Raylan13) told me to convince you and 2 other (Tankingmage) (Celess22) also, the discussion page is inactive, it could last up to 2 years without reaching there consensus, in fact, I put this in October 2013 and no one gave me a good answer neither presented good argument against. In view of all this, you think Sylvanas Windrunner should be tagged as a Death Knight? (at least as likely to side) and as a Necromancer (Necromancy what it says in the article Dark Ranger) Clow864 (talk) 15:19, January 19, 2014 (UTC)
User question
FYI stumbled upon Template_talk:Orc_clans#Organization. Celess (talk) 02:04, January 22, 2014 (UTC)
Could you make the infoboxes for this wiki? Thanks http://glory-of-the-horde.wikia.com/wiki/Glory_of_The_Horde_Wiki --184.108.40.206 23:55, January 29, 2014 (UTC)
- No, because I have no idea which ones to make and you should be able to copy them yourself. Also please don't post as anonymous, if you want to ask me to do something. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 29 Jan 2014 5:04 PM Pacific
Oh god,did I really post as a anon? ,-, Anyways,I'm all confused on this template stuff.... -- TheKaldorei (contribs, talk) 30 Jan 2014 1:08 AM UTC 01:08, January 30, 2014 (UTC)
- You should at least make a list of the infoboxes you want. There is no way I'm going to help copy all the ones from WoWWiki. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 29 Jan 2014 5:19 PM Pacific
Okay I'm pretty sure I need...
- Race Infobox
- Zone Infobox
- City Infobox
- Npc box
- char box(Is that a thing?)
Mainly the basic ones. -- TheKaldorei (contribs, talk) 30 Jan 2014 3:49 PM UTC 15:49, January 30, 2014 (UTC)
- Okay here's what I copied:
- You'll have copy over the /doc pages and upload faction images and such to make them look nice. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 30 Jan 2014 4:29 PM Pacific
Cenarion Circle
Cenarion Circle. Maybe check me on this. Edit before was a bit messed. Is part at the top before first section. Celess (talk) 00:59, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
- Looks okay. I will do a minor edits, but they're aren't crucial. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 9 Feb 2014 9:55 AM Pacific
lol, on the edit note on the background color :) sorry. later, just so you know, you can place the text verbatim inline in its own slide right on the page. so whenever later you can put it in rotation liek the others without having to create a separate page. later ill look at the css and special business to make nicer, especially testing on FF if I know thats what you use ;) Celess (talk) 06:15, February 11, 2014 (UTC)
- I didn't want it to be part of the slideshow, so that's why I did it that way. I created the separate page to mock it up, not as the source. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 10 Feb 2014 10:18 PM Pacific
I know was for separate and not for rotation, special thing. :) just helpful note if needed for later. :) Celess (talk) 06:21, February 11, 2014 (UTC)

Currently can use the new MediaWiki:UserTags/code.js, just the same as the old js file for now, for editing roles or names. :) MediaWiki:UserTags is the main page for the module, as noted on WoWWiki:Development. I'll post something later on if changes. Celess (talk) 01:19, March 20, 2014 (UTC)

Should you ask if he'd like to be a patroller? -- TheKaldorei (contribs, talk) 2 Apr 2014 3:15 PM UTC 15:15, April 2, 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, Wikia was having issues and when I saved the CSS it lagged and must have borked and cropped code. I just now noticed. Should go back to normal in a few minutes. Celess (talk) 01:24, April 3, 2014 (UTC)
Not sure if you wanted to check the Ga'nar and Drek'thar (WoD) Pages. —This unsigned comment is by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) 12:32, April 3, 2014. Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
- Stuff not released yet should use the

Npcbox issue
Would you be able to help with an npc box issue? I can't seem to get the image to resize as it does with the mobs Ive been adding - Senior Historian Evelyna is looking rather tall! Jonrae (talk) 19:20, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
Site name rename issues
In case didn't notice yet. See Raylan talk. As you know there's a lot of infrastructure tied to wiki namespace. External links broken right now. Celess (talk) 15:33, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
Main Page
I've since corrected it . I was solely looking at SEO tweaks and renamed the site "identifier" (wiki info) as "World of Warcraft Community" or something similar. Celess caught that it had the unintended effect of making those pages he linked to essentially nonexistent, so I've since swapped back to the WoWWiki identifier. Raylan13 (talk) 18:06, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll look over the changes, just to see what happened. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 9 Apr 2014 10:42 AM Pacific
All pages WoWWiki: namespace go bonk. Or more like: 'poof'. By the time you looked must have been gone, or saw you coming and rund off. Celess (talk) 20:32, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
- Heh okay. Seems fixed now, but I will yell, scream and jump up and down, if it happens again. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 9 Apr 2014 2:24 PM Pacific
Thanks for making the battle pet ability table templates! It's so much easier now! RBoy (talk) 01:42, April 16, 2014 (UTC)RBoy

Tanzania national netball team faces Lesotho in the opening match of the eight nation's championship at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam this afternoon.
The netball association's (CHANETA) acting secretary general Rose Mkisi said the draw was made by officials from all competing teams.
She said the opener will be followed by another tie between title holders Malawi against Botswana at the same venue. First Lady Salma Kikwete will be the guest of honor at the opening ceremony.
Mkisi said the host team is in good shape after more than three weeks training at Filbert Bayi Secondary School, as players have pledged a gallant fight to send the visitors home empty handed.
She said all players know the importance of the championship to them and the country.
"All the players are in good shape and they have promised to fight tooth and nail for their country to win the title", she said.
She urged all Tanzanians to turn out at the National Stadium and support the home side.
In another development, mobile telephone service providers Vodacom yesterday donated assorted sports equipments worthy six million shillings to the national netball ahead of the championship.
Vodacom Tanzania's external affairs manager Salum Mwaimu said his company hopes the donation would boost team morale during the championship and cruise to the title podium.
The donations include 20 pairs of sports shoes, 20 pieces of bips, two sets of jerseys and twenty tracksuits.
He pledged his company support towards the development of sports in the country and urged the players to fight tooth and nail and win the championship and improve its world ranking.
"We are very committed at developing sports in the country and its our strong belief this donation will help to boost the team's morale in winning the title", he said.
