Frankly, I can forgive you if you had been an asshole/troll/vandal in the past year but know this, the admins are still watching this page, be nice or your message may be simply removed and you may be blocked without further warning.
Vandals, trolls, and other fiendly visitors, please note:

To me, editing of Wikipedia comes with a certain amount of joy:

{{Notice|
- If I leave a message for you: Please respond on your talk page. I will add it to my watchlist, so you don't need to notify me, unless I don't respond when a response is expected (normally within 24 hours, unless the issue is urgent). This helps keep discussions in one place and makes them easier to read and follow.
----
- If you leave a message for me: I will generally respond here. Either add this page to your watchlist or ask me to notify you of a response on your talk page.
----
- If you are discussing an article: I would prefer to use that article's talk page, unless you'd rather not to use that page for some reason, such as commenting on a particular user's edits in semi-privacy.
----
- I generally do not bother to leave messages on IP talk pages, since many IPs are dynamic, and there's no way to know the difference on the first edits. The user will more than likely never even know they received a message, so it's just a waste of time better spent on actual editing. (This is one example of how not having mandatory registration does a great disservice to IP editors. Because of this, IP editors really ARE second-class users, made so by Jim Wales' own non-negotiable (thus dictatorial) policies.) The main exception is vandalism warnings, which are required before most admins will block or ban for vandalism.
----
- Please limit this page to discussions not related to any particular article, those covering a wide range of articles/topics, or personal comments.
----
- Note: I reserve the right to decline or withdraw from a situation that is escalating or uncomfortable, without giving a reason, or to take further action through permissable means.''' (See this policy.) This may include removing your messages from my talk page. If I've done so, please DO NOT re-add the same meassage, or follow-up with another - They will be removed again, mostly likely with a edit summary about your obnoxiousness in continually hounding me. If you then follow this up wth an ANI report, you're proving that you are a real jerk, and I won't respond there either, per WP:DENY. I may, however, file my own ANI report against your harassment.
----
- Further notes: Due to the misbehavior of a few IPs, IPs are sometimes prevented from editing this page. If you need to discuss an article, see the previous note. If you need to discuss something else with me, register, and come back in four days. If it's urgent, use the e-mail feature; it won't work if it's been abused lately. If you chose to whine on an admin complaint board somewhere, I'll probably hear about it. And ignore you. ;) PS. if you posted the type of comments on my page that you would post on an admin alert board, they would have been ignored and removed anyway!
----
- Also, talk to me like a normal person, and don't just quote Wiki guidelines to me - I'm NOT a newbie (Read WP:DTTR!). I consider it rude, and will likely just delete your comments, and ignore the point, as guidelines can be ignored. If you do it anyway, and turn out to be wrong, an apology would be the considerate thing to make, though you probably won't since it's not a fucking, oberfucking, or unterfucking policy to apologize for your mistakes. (If Jimbo Wales wanted people to apologize for their mistakes, he'd have made it a policy, right?!)
----
- If you want me to take your opinions and edits seriously, you ought to Register!. Otherwise one never knows who really made the edits, especially in the case of dynamic IP addresses.
----
- If I mistakenly called your edits as vandalism when I reverted them, it was probably because you did not leave an edit summary. Please realize that, in many cases, unexplained edits are indistinguishable from vandalism! This also applies to Rollbacks.
----
- I reserve the right to clean up this page in any manner I choose, including the use of Rollbacks for non-vandalism, and especially if you made more than one edit. Please do NOT re-post what I've removed, unless you are an admin issuing a formal warning, though I'll probably still remove it!
----
- If you wish to keep a matter confidential,such as discussing personal and/or confidential information, you may use the "E-mail" feature (usually activated!). I will respond in kind unless otherwise requested. This is not for discussing routine matters regarding editing on pages - use the article talk pages for that.

What is the Secret?

*Someone asked me via email what is the secret that I've gotten so much vandalism plasted on my pages (130 counts!), drive-by harrassments (coined by Bugs!) and impersonators. To which, I can only reply you something two different Admins told me on two different pages/time:-
::I haven't seen the film so I don't know how they develop the idea, but it certainly works for the big things -- such as "doing good", "becoming peaceful" and so forth. "Practice loving-kindness and harmlessness as if they were the greatest form of bliss, and they will be." (Tibetan Buddhist saying, I think quoted by Thich Nhat Hanh) Antandrus (talk) 22:01, 16 July 2011 (UTC) :::*Yeah, as well as Desmond Tutu, its as if they all understand it without actually saying it. Great minds do indeed think alike! --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 22:16, 16 July 2011 (UTC) |

"Don't be a 125pxoser!"
Go, and Wiki-sin no more!

{{cquote|Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.
So when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier. --[http://bewareofgarbagetrucks.com/wordpress/the-law-of-the-garbage-truck/ THE LAW OF THE GARBAGE TRUCK]}}

Was he parsley, sage, rosemary or thyme
Hi Dave. I really wanted to use a industrial cleaner strength version of Troll-be-Gone10px on Herb's errant nonsense on your page yesterday but as it involved a bogus 3rr report I thought it was better if you were able to track the whole thing. Have a great weekend. MarnetteD | Talk 20:00, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Yep
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Straits_Times&curid=411020&diff=566172427&oldid=566169566 Thanks], Dave. I did the best I could; my template drop-down menu stopped working a few days back. I haven't messed with my preferences other than to disable Visual Editor. Do you think that could be the problem or is a browser incompatibiity more likely? Tiderolls 17:28, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
- Not quite sure about your side but from time to time I do run into the same problem as you did just now (assuming that you're running Firefox like me, and you can forget about Opera!), though that's nothing which a complete system reboot cannot fix. Anyway, I saw the earlier CN tag and went in search for sources when I noticed you've already done so. Got down to tweaked it a wee bit and was about to thank you when you drop by here. Thanks again~! :) --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 17:46, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

- Hey Jack, thanks for the headup and I'm really looking forward to the current issue. Apologies for the late reply, I've been rather busy with the legal proceedings of my late uncle's estate these few days, hence haven't been online for almost a week now so you'll have to excuse me if I've left somethings out. Best and cheers~! --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 16:42, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Vasily
Henry creates a new article
Hey Dave, our friend HCobb has created Glenn Marine Group, which appears to be based in Singapore. I think it can meet GNG, but I'm not certain. I rescued it from Prod, but it'll probably got to AFD soon anyway, as it really is a shoddy attempt to make an article. I'm not planning on doing Henry's work for him to try to save it, as I've no interest or background in the subject. I have asked for help at WTSHIPS. Do you anything about the company, or an editor who might be interested in working on the article? Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 08:24, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
