:Carp:

:verb (used without object)

:1.

:to find fault or complain querulously or unreasonably; be niggling in criticizing; cavil:

:to carp at minor errors.

:noun

:2.

:a peevish complaint.

::And if you don’t know “trash” you probably won’t do very well on English wikipedia.

There is another longer and more complicated explanation involving a several step process getting there from another internet name, “carpe mañana” to carptrash. But that’s for another day.

I am in fact not me at all but a sock puppet. For those of you, or both of you, or whomever reads this, the rational is clearly laid out here.

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gamaliel (suddenly there is nothing there! This was a blue link 4 minutes ago.)

The proof is that after a month or so of my first editing I was making significant edits (gee, maybe that's why I started editing?) and then more than a dozen years later I reverted something that an editor did not want reverted and lo-and-behold, I must be a sock. Food for thought.

Breitbart News has this to say about me:

"All mention of the Ngo assault was subsequently removed by editor “Carptrash,” whose profile page includes multiple images of himself in an anarchist shirt, one time while brandishing a blunt instrument."

Just for the record, those pictures were of my Halloween costume that year, in one of them I am wearing a tiara , hardly standard antifa issue.

this old section of my user page, the so called "23 (sometimes 27) words and phrases" .

I have a list of words or phrases that, to me, when I hear them or read them, or say them or write them, typically mean, "in my opinion."

An editor (of course anonymous) posted of me, "Furthermore, the definition (of racism) that Carptrash added is communist/far-left propaganda. Any source that says "institutional, structural, and systemic" when discussing racism is using far-left polemic garbage from the Marxist, anti-Semitic, and anti-white critical race theory pseudoscientific ideology." (Back to me) I want to state that I am not now, nor ever have been a member of the Communist Party and certainly do not consider myself to be a Marxist, anti-semitic or anti-white. Often at these moments I am accused of being anti-male, so I will deny that too.

Now I discover, while I am complaining about the SPLC that, ""Scratch a group complaining about the SPLC, and there's a 99.9% likelihood you'll find a hate group." So what do you think, am I a Marxist leftist or a Confederate loving' right wing hate group member? It's so confusing. Carptrash (talk) 00:06, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

I'd like to thank the Wikipedia Foundation for their recognition of my editing efforts. Although the process was not seamless I have long come to understand that there are speed bumps on the road of life and if I hit them wrong it can create a bit of a jarring effect.

File:Carptrash photo.jpg

I have declared all my edits to be a diabolic mixture of opinion and original research. Just so that I can't be accused of doing this anonymously, the names I've used while posting pictures are EEK, eek, ****************** and probably a few more variations on this.

However, I am now amending this stance to state that all of my edits are carefully and thoroughly researched and if the documentation seems to be missing it is just because some vandal probably removed it.

I feel that I am likely in the top one million editors in both number of edits and number of articles created. However I am much more proud to include myself in the Top 100 Monkeys.

I just discovered that my 5th anniversary (July 2009) on wikipedia just passed. Life is supposed to be interesting.
I also just discovered some links at the bottom of my user page that informed me that I've done over 10,000 edits and created 139 articles. Life goes on.

And I can now update this to my 10th year here and 20,000 edits. I think.

as happened today, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hartley_Burr_Alexander&curid=3359449&diff=454126390&oldid=435777145] an editor corrects a spelling mistake that I made something like 5 years ago. It's a real feel good place.

Since the local library is very small and there are not any nearby bigger ones, most of the sources and references that i use are from my own collection, the carpchives or the eeekchives (depending on my mood). I recently started cataloging my books on librarything and decided that I'd post a link here after I had 1,000 titles entered. .............. Sometime later, and still plodding along, I am now, I believe, over 2,000 titles and still entering. I also received a nice award at Library Thing (where this link goes) for uploading a bunch, maybe 500? of covers images. Anyway, here is my library. [http://www.librarything.com/home/carptrash].

This could be clearer, so here is what I wrote about these pictures at Talk:Home Building Association Bank

• While visiting the building in 1985 I discovered that the outside door leading to the upstairs was not locked, so I went in. I discovered a staircase that led to the second floor, which was being renovated. I included a not very interesting picture of the space in the gallery on the article page. However, more interesting, and, it turned out, disturbing, was a door that had been added halfway up the stairs. It too was unlocked, this was small town Ohio after all, and upon opening and entering through it I discovered myself on what was essentially a dropped ceiling, added when the building had been converted into an ice cream parlor some years previously. The space was being used for storage, but it also held all the refrigeration equipment that was needed downstairs. As I looked around, mostly up, I discovered that I was surrounded by the most astounding designs that I had ever seen. They were what remained of the stenciled patterns that Sullivan had produced here. I was to discover that these, along with those in the Chicago Stock Exchange and the bank in Owatonna were considered to be his best. They consisted of something like 60 different patterns overlaid on each other. However, to my everlasting horror, the paintings that I had discovered were peeling off the walls. Literally. pieces a foot or two long were hanging off the walls and ceilings. I was tempted to just pull some off, but did not. Unfortunately the pictures that I took did not come out very well, but I have included them here anyway. Carptrash 17:52, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

“Whole Lotta Love” bears little resemblance to “You Need Love” as recorded in 1962 by Muddy Waters and owned by Willie Dixon (now by his estate). The track is, however, closely related to The Small Faces’ 1966 song “You Need Loving” (which is based on the same Muddy Waters track that was owned by Willie Dixon).

Same story by the song Venus of Shocking Blue which stil gives Robbie van Leeuwen as composer, but it's a revision of "The Banjo Song by The Big 3.

But that song has its orgins in the old song "Oh Sussana" written by Stephen Foster.
