Why are there 7 pages/articles with Oliver D. Smith in title?

This isn't normal, but freaky and excessive. It makes the person (Michaeldsuarez) who wrote them look far more insane and obsessive.

All these articles are defamatory, filled with lies and smears but since that doesn't bother ED since this wiki does not claim to be factual but satirical - i'm sure having 7 pages with "Oliver D. Smith" in the title does? At the very least you have to admit it is bizarre.Eerie Indiana 10:03, 29 December 2016 (EST)

I don't have a problem with someone creating a humorous/satirical article on me here. However 7 articles/pages with my name, filled with defamation? And Suarez has now started to stalk and harass my other family members on some of those links. Shouldn't another ED sysop clean up his mess? .Eerie Indiana 10:14, 29 December 2016 (EST)
There will be eight or nine soon, if you don't snap out of your weeks-long spazz attack. And 'stalked and harassed' by a wiki article? Really? Do you check it's not under your bed at night? No of course you don't, that would be insane wouldn't it. Anyway, why don't you write us a nice long reaction to the articles on you, and we might even give it its own page. Could you do, say, 1-2k words and some pics by the start of the New Year? I mean, no-one knows the subject like you do. Sidecar 10:54, 29 December 2016 (EST)
Commit yourself to a mental institution, Eerie. - (Al Gore) 11:16, 29 December 2016 (EST)
:: "Stalked and harassed by a wiki article". Well, its not 1 article but 7; the same deranged ED sysop (Michaeldsuarez aka Juniusthaddeus) who wrote all of those (yes, its just one nutcase) has been stalking me across the web, creating others. He also created my defamatory Lolcow.wiki article: https://lolcow.wiki/wiki/Oliver_D._Smith (view the history log, only Michael edited that article), and that article is so filled with misinformation it cannot even get my date of birth correct. Suarez also posts on other forums to attack me such as at Wikipedia Sucks and Wikipediocracy. He appears on this Wikipedia criticism troll sites because he was perm-banned from Wikipedia in 2012. No surprise he was perm-blocked for harassing someone else. The only major wiki Michael hasn't been banned from is ED (he's also perm-banned from Rationalwiki and presumably others for the same stalking and harassement), that's why he posts here. Unfortunately the admin or owner of this site doesn't appear to be aware of what Suarez is doing. Personally I don't have a problem with most other ED sysops, who use his site for satire and politically incorrect humour. Michael however only uses this wiki to attack and defame people (view his edits and they're very different to other ED sysops.) I should point out Michael's stalking of me at Lolcow.wiki backfired and he got his own entry written about his obsessive and creepy internet behaviour: https://lolcow.wiki/wiki/Michael_D._Suarez. If I have to I'll just create a blogspot warning people about Suarez's malicious falsehoods about me. Suarez abuses google search results so if someone google my name they find absurd descriptions; I'll create a blog so my link comes up as a rebuttal. However of course I would prefer if other ED sysops see sense and remove his 7 articles on me. Michael needs to get a life and stop stalking and defaming people, that was not the purpose of this wiki.Eerie Indiana 11:42, 29 December 2016 (EST)
You're rewriting history. Nothing backfired. The Lolcow Wiki article on me was created over two months before the Lolcow Wiki article on you. As usual, you're flipping cause and effect. You fail to see yourself as the cause of what you experience; instead, you blame everyone else.
In addition, you're projecting. You're the one who wants to manipulate Google:
Also, rest assured that the owner of this site already knows all there is to know about me.
I'm willing to delete the pages on you. This has been going on for over half a year now, you haven't changed a single bit, and I just want some peace. --JuniusThaddeus 11:59, 29 December 2016 (EST)
I've deleted the pages. Please leave me alone and move on. --JuniusThaddeus 12:06, 29 December 2016 (EST)

I'm bringing those pages pack, so Oliver can leave Junius alone. He's just salty as fuck his attempts to get lulzy shit about him taken down have been frustrated for so long he's resorting to be an annoying cunt to do so, and I for one think it's a bitch move to cave to this jackass. So, Oliver D. Smith, fuck you very much and have a Happy New Year. DarkLordTR --> Talk here, n00bs. 17:32, 29 December 2016 (EST)

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Thanks for the support, but I'm going to delete the article again. I just want this to be over. Oliver doesn't quit. He doesn't know how to ignore others or how to let things be and move on. --JuniusThaddeus 18:45, 29 December 2016 (EST)

Your call, Junius. And unlike Oliver, I sincerely wish you a Happy New Year. DarkLordTR --> Talk here, n00bs. 18:52, 29 December 2016 (EST)

Defamatory article "Oliver D. Smith Brothers" was deleted, but then restored, then deleted, now bizarrely restored again by Lulzkiller. Regardless, I don't believe a word of what JuniusThaddeus says above that he deleted the article to "move on". JuniusThaddeus as recent as December 4th 2016 (so only a little over a month ago) posted "I've succeeded in luring Oliver back out of hiding" and was stalking me on another website; its actually me that has a life off the computer and Suarez admits he was trying to bring me back to engage his internet trolling and harassment of me, and now my family. The real reason JuniusThaddeus deleted the article was because he's a buffoon who confused my identity; he tried to correct the misinformation after months of denying he made mistakes by changing the article from Oliver D. Smith to Oliver D. Smith Brothers, but he finally realised everything he wrote about me is false - so he deleted it to salvage his reputation as an internet "documentarian" and "archivist" (his words). Regardless, the current "Oliver D. Smith Brothers" reads completely ridiculous and contains all of Suarez's lies and errors. Why Luzlkiller thinks it is some sort of victory for him this got restored, I don't know. Musaeus 13:31, 9 January 2017 (EST)

*Luzlkiller. CobaltCat 13:37, 9 January 2017 (EST)
@Oliver: I did not involve your family; you and your brother involved yourselves in this. According to you, your twin is responsible for the several accounts previously attributed to you, so your brother was already involved, right from the start. First, you complain that your brother's accounts were being connected to you; now, you complain that your brother's existence is even acknowledged at all! In addition, no one would even consider the possibility of a brother if you did not keep saying, "It was my brother!"
Also, that "lured" comment was a joke; I come up with that right on the spot (there wasn't actually a plan) to please the audience (the Kiwi Farms crowd). I couldn't predict that you would appear, and frankly, I don't enjoy interacting with you. I'm not harassing you or your family; I created that article so that your victims (e.g. Rome Viharo) can learn about you (and your brother) in spite of you two constantly changing pseudonyms. That's why the article was on the informative side rather than the humorous side. You two believed that you could as you pleased you want without being caught and connected with your accounts. I wanted to change that; I wanted people to know that you (and your brother) were responsible for what you two do on RationalWiki, EgyptSearch, and elsewhere.
Finally, since the mistake in question was assuming that you and your identical twin were one and the same, I believe that you shouldn't consider the mistake to be outrageous at all, especially when you and your brother basically do the same thing (i.e. sockpuppetry and attacking people).
I deleted those articles because I no longer possess the energy for this. I just want some peace and quiet. You didn't show any sign of wanting to make peace, and the conflict didn't show any signs of abating on its own, so I decided to drop out. I wish that LulzKiller and the others could just let things be, but you've went out of the way to piss off so many people that it's out of my hands now. --JuniusThaddeus 16:56, 9 January 2017 (EST)
"AlanShaw" *cough* bullshit *cough* just asked me politely to remove that doxing from the ODSBros article. Since it was 100% a breach of policy from the word 'go' and since he was so reasonable about it, I've deleted that image. This shouldn't be controversial. Sidecar 21:56, 10 January 2017 (EST)
Nah, that's publicly accessible electoral records. This faggot loliver was boasting about doing the same thing to Lulzkilker. Dave 4 11:10, 12 January 2017 (EST)
It might be publicly-accessible, but is it freely available (i.e., without registration) online? My understanding of the electoral roll in the UK is that you have to access it via services like 192.com or visit the local council offices. Therein lies the difference for our purposes. As for what ODS has been up to in the past, that's not relevant to this little local issue. Sidecar 12:39, 12 January 2017 (EST)


I honestly don't get why Oliver Smiths Ed article was recreated, it is best removed like your own entry Mikemikev.

But no, it's not publicly accessible on the internet or on any internet search engine. That's why you have no online link mikemikev. You are a paedophile Mikemikev now uploading baby pictures of the Smith family claiming they want a 'black dick' in their mouth. Thanks for showing your true colours. You are a very sick guy. It is not acceptable to be uploading pictures of children on this website claiming they want a dick in their mouth or innocent families addresses. Both these files should be deleted OliverSmithBrothers.jpg ‎ OliverDSmithAddress.png . You were banned from ED Mikemikev and your article was deleted, so what is your obsession with Oliver Smith? He is sick of this harassment. Can you not just move on and forget about him? It is 2017 now. You should not be doxing or uploading innocent photographs of children, you are a sick nasty person. Please delete the above files. Trancestate 12:45, 12 January 2017 (EST)‎

ED is not...
... a phone directory. (quote): Unless the subject of the article was ballsy enough to openly place their IRL address, phone numbers and other such information on the Internet without any attempts to hide it, we will not host said information on this site. If you want to release such information, please do it elsewhere. (/quote) I'm removing the dox image (again), as it is completely unjustifiable and -- in the final analysis -- not at all important to the article. But this is the last time I'm intervening, I'm nobody important and if people are determined to ignore the rules then I can't make them do otherwise.
"Dave 4" has shown that the results are visible on google. However, when you click the link to that information, you find that it is paywalled. So this is a borderline case and I'm calling it on the side of caution.

Do you have any evidence Anglo_Pyramidologist lives there? I remember something about his location posted at Egyptsearch ages ago, but that wasn't it. My complaint has not been responded to on the Brandon Pilcher talk. I don't trust a word of either Anglo or Mikemikev; why was the Mikemikev article also deleted?Egyptsearch dude 13:24, 12 January 2017 (EST)
I deleted the Mikemikev after I deleted the Smith article, since I didn't think that it would've been fair to delete the Smith while keeping the Mikemikev article. Since the Smith article has been restored, I've restored the Mikemikev article. Either both articles exist or neither article exists. --JuniusThaddeus 16:04, 12 January 2017 (EST)
@ JuniusThaddeus, I only said some accounts were my brothers, after you linked them to my IP address. I had no intention of mentioning my brothers at all, only after you obsessively spent many hours going through edits/accounts, linking to my IP address on Wikipedia and Rationalwiki. Prior to you making the IP links, I never even mentioned my brothers - I just denied owning those accounts because they aren't mine. It was you who got my family involved, furthermore you created these slanderous ED articles on us. Me and my brothers never harassed anyone at Wikipedia or Rationalwiki; you don't know what you're talking about. My brother investigates paranormal claims and primarily debunks them since most, if not all, are frauds, hence his edits are on ghost sightings, psychic powers, UFO's etc. I don't have any interest in this. Its strange you ignored what I kept telling you for so long - that I was not Dan Skeptic/Goblin Face because there is virtually a zero edit overlap with our Wikipedia accounts on articles; we both have very different interests and edited non-related articles. As for the huge amount of edits by my bothers accounts, he's actually paid as an investigator to research these claims and then writes up what he finds. He's never harassed anyone, and like me, you've smeared him. Did you ever bother to even read his Wikipedia or Rationalwiki edits? Probably not. You currently have a defamatory "the dots" article about him when he's nothing to do with the drama that went on here. Also, I "moved on" ages ago. Its Mikemikev who still sits and logs on Kiwi Farms. These "Oliver D. Smith" pages were only re-added because of Lulzkiller, who apparently didn't realise I deleted my blogspot on him ages ago. If you kept them deleted I wouldn't have even replied. A solution if you're not going to delete them is to not mention my brother and remove all the misinformation and libel. Nolos 09:25, 17 January 2017 (EST)
You didn't delete that blog "ages ago". The Google cache has a copy from January 5th. You only deleted it this month.
Also, I don't believe in things until I see them. You kept on insisting that I should that believe in thing that I can't see or verify for myself. I didn't find true evidence of your brother's evidence until recently. Your brother's existence is only obvious to you since you see him everyday; have you ever considered the point of view of someone who doesn't have that advantage?
Lastly, your brother was involved in harassment: [1], [2], "[…] However, this does not mean that I no longer think that the accounts I mentioned earlier were not created by you. I still do. […]". Your twin isn't as different from you as you like to believe. --JuniusThaddeus 18:18, 17 January 2017 (EST)

He is telling the truth. I have never been involved in harassment, I was the victim. In the above links you list which were from Eveshi it says "troll accounts, named: "[Username]Homosexual", "[Username] pseudoscientist". MU did this back in 2012-2013. I was impersonated on the internet and called a homosexual by this person and so was Eveshi. Examples of him doing that to me here [3], [4] (run an internet search on "eveshi forests") to see more of his impersonations of us.

He even created a fake twitter of us here calling us homosexuals [5], [6]. But sure you won't cover that, you will just write lies about me. He impersonated other skeptics and notable celebrity figures such as Frank Camper. The abuse would be to impersonate our names and slander us by calling us homosexuals. As of 2016 he was still doing this, a thread on him here [7], his latest name is "Waller Joel". I documented his abuses in 2013 with Eveshi here [8]. This is the sort of real life internet troll who actually should be in prison for his crimes or documented at ED. But no, you have no idea about any of this history and instead say I have been 'involved' in harassment. I am a nobody, the victim of a paranormal nut who got upset I debunked his paranormal beliefs. The stuff on ED about me should be removed. ED have still not explained why they need 7 or 8 pages about the the Smith family. Who are we again? Nobodies. We have done some wikipedia editing in the past that is all. A funny notable guy like Donald Trump might need 50 ED pages, not us.

As above he has since deleted the blog on Lulzkiller and will also be deleting the blog on Mikemikev he created. He has no internet presence, he wants to end this now. He is in private email agreement with Mikemikev to move on now. It is 2017. Here is the main question do you have any intention of moving on? Is it possible to delete these inaccurate ED articles on us or at a minimum remove them so there is not 8? No other person on ED has 8 articles about them, why us? I fail to see what my Wikipedia edits from 2012-2014 have anything to do with anyone. Life is short and we will all be dead one day. What do you guys get out of doing this? There is more to life than this, you agree? Waking up every morning with the smith family on your mind? Is this healthy? Who are we again? Nobodies. Maybe you can explain to me why these pages exist? I understand you are angry with Atlantid for past differences but can you not move on and forget? There is more to life than this. How do we get these pages removed? I will not be further responding. Hexen 19:50, 17 January 2017 (EST)

You were most certainly engaged in harassment:
  1. You created the RationalWiki article on "Rhawn Joseph"
  2. You (as "DinoCisis") helped your brother ("Boglin") create an hit piece on Doug Weller
  3. You created a hit piece about Doug Weller on ED and then tried to frame Rhawn Joseph for it
That's harassment. In addition, you're a known liar.
Also, I don't "wake up" and think about you or your brother "every day"; I only think about you or him when you or him attempt to gain my attention. I'm here now because you two want me to respond to your accusations. Cause and effect; I don't spontaneously think about you. No one spontaneously thinks about you. You do something that gains the attention of others, and people respond; that's all there is to it.
I sincerely want this conflict to end. I'm sick and tired of all this. I'm going to try to verify your claims of Oliver reconciling with Mikemikev, and then I'm going to speak to LulzKiller. Can you also convince Oliver to delete the blogs on Geth and Viharo as a token of good will? That would help. --JuniusThaddeus 21:40, 17 January 2017 (EST)
Atlantid is in the process of deleting all the blogs that he created. Many of his old comments from reddit have been removed, as well as other postings. Unfortunately he scrambled two of the emails so he is recovering them for the wordpress blogs but once he has access they will be removed. The one on Lulzkiller has been deleted and the one on Geth soon. He has sent MikeMikev two emails telling him it's over and he is not getting involved in this pathetic feud anymore.
It's up to Mikemikev if he wants to move on or not, we can only hope. But Atlantid has ceased all contact with this individual. Oliver's mental health has suffered and he no longer wants to be on the internet. He has realized there is more to life than this and he has many deep interests. He does not wanted to be attacked or stalked by people any longer on the internet or communicate with any other individual online. Let me just clarify this he will no longer have a web presence anywhere very shortly. He is very tired of this and genuinely wants to move on. This has to be the end.

Mikemikev says that there isn't an arrangement between him and Oliver: File:MikemikevOliverLying.png. --JuniusThaddeus 07:50, 18 January 2017 (EST)
I emailed Mikemikev 4 days ago telling him to stop being obsessed with me. As usual he's lying. Mikemikev logs on Kiwi Farms every day and has 2500 posts; even when he doesn't post he's viewing my thread. Someone-else recently noticed this: "His low iq is highlighted by the fact that he is unhealthily obsessed with Oliver. It's his sole purpose for waking up in the morning." I no longer post on Kiwi Farms and my post total is a small fraction of Mike's. As for impersonations, Mikemikev created dozens Oliver D. Smith accounts in different fonts at Rationalwiki last month; "Oliver D. Smith" is now on their block filter. He also been trolling me by writing fake Amazon reviews for a book I published. I'm not the one fixated with him, its the other way around. I told him to move on and leave me alone, but he never does. He'll be back on Kiwi Farms tomorrow viewing my thread. His life is trolling internet forums; I don't even have an active user on a single forum. Gladius 08:14, 18 January 2017 (EST)
I created a blog on Mikemikev because I was fed up with him following me everywhere, especially Rationalwiki; the last post on that blog was October, so months ago. As mentioned above, I plan on removing the blog(s), that is, if I recover the emails. Anyway, I don't need a blog to discredit Mike, since he does that himself and the name "Mikemikev" is so toxic on a google search he now uses different names to avoid detection, but is so dumb he gets found. Look here: http://thebeerbarrel.net/threads/medium-dave.36928/ Gladius 08:40, 18 January 2017 (EST)
@ JuniusThaddeus, Mikemikev logged on Kiwi Farms today and was viewing my thread less than 20 minutes ago. I told you he's a liar who will never move on.Hesperides 08:26, 19 January 2017 (EST)

NEW PROPOSAL COMPROMISE FOR AUTISTS:

I think I have an idea which I think is fair in this case.

New rule created around dox/otherwise: "Anyone who sends death threats to any ED staff member is fair game."

I don't think Oliver gets a free pass when he's basically sent several of us death threats and threatened to find out where we live.

(talk) 14:49, 12 January 2017 (EST)

I love this idea. DarkLordTR --> Talk here, n00bs. 18:59, 12 January 2017 (EST)

Clearly this person is mentally ill and is now likely pretending to be their own brother or something. Why they care so much about an ED article about themselves is beyond me, everyone knows ED is a parody encyclopedia written in the spirit of satire, and no one outside of ED takes ED seriously anyway, so who cares if it's true or not. It's not even that dramatic, it's just about a crazy person who blogs about their life and argues with people on the internet.

If you're gonna dish it, you have to be able to take it in return.  VERMIN  23:34, 18 January 2017 (EST)

The articles on me are not satirical. What on earth are these articles for? Take a look: Oliver D. Smith Brothers/Connecting the dots 1, Oliver D. Smith Brothers/Connecting the dots 2, Oliver D. Smith Brothers/Connecting the dots. There's no comedy or satire on them and they're completely off-topic to Encyclopedia Dramatica. These three links purport to record my internet history. But why? And why is this of interest? Furthermore they are filled with misinformation. As well as these 3 articles, I have a main article that is defamatory. I didn't get added on this website for satire but because of a 'hit-piece' trying to smear me. And isn't having half a dozen articles on me excessive? No one else has this. Note that like Mikemikev I never even objected to having a satirical ED article, however people have only used my article to harass me; I only count a single joke on the entire main article of me.Hesperides 08:13, 19 January 2017 (EST)
It's because your dumb ass kept signing on here with multiple sock accounts trying to stir up shit with other people, and this is why these articles all appeared on you. You were asking for it, and you're further asking for it by continuing to piss and moan like this. JT is giving into your complaints by removing the "brother" info now, so stfu unless you want that reverted by someone.  VERMIN  10:12, 19 January 2017 (EST)

Gethn7, Kiwi Farms and death threats

I never sent anyone death threats, that's just more fabrication from Kiwi Farms. I made some comments months ago that paedophiles and other sexual deviants should be killed or castrated; nowhere did I say I was going do this myself. Gethn7 also lied when he said Nate Spidgewood sent him death threats. Gethn7 is just a troll who writes nonsense on his blog, its mostly sensational titles, but then you read the actual story - its petty internet drama. For example Gethn7 has a blog post where he says his life is in "imminent danger" and he's calling the FBI; do you believe that? And Kiwi Farms is going to be closed because of its harassment and cyberstalking. Lastest news, we just got Candy Potter fired from her job. Who really "needs to move on" is Joshua Moon, he needs to get a job, and stop harassing innocent people online. Now his mother has no job herself, perhaps finally she will suspend Joshua's internet activities.

"As I previously informed you I was working on this issue. As of date Candy Potter is no longer an agent for Keller Williams Realty Gulf Coast." - her supervisor/team leader. Anytime she tries to get another job, we will continue with the countless blogs, emails etc warning about Kiwi Farms and it being a hate and cyber bully site.Irons 05:24, 20 January 2017 (EST)

This entire section needs adding to the ODS series. Not least because it will serve ODS right if he makes his article even more conspicuous every time he has a spazz-out on here. I freely admit that I have not got the slightest interest in performing this herculean task myself. As for the death threats = doxing, that seems fair enough as long as the reasoning is included, because sending people death threats is a fairly serious crime in just about any jurisdiction you can think of and exposing such miscreants has massive potential for drama.

There was no VOTN, QOTN or POTN for today, January 2nd, which started 5 and a half hours ago in my timezone but I am pretty sure changed over on the wiki at 8pm EST last night.

Aw, is nobody updating these for you anymore? Why don't you have the members of your ED democracy step up and do it, since you give them the power to vote others out of being able to?  VERMIN  11:38, 2 January 2017 (EST)
Vermin - A republic would make more sense (like we have here in the US), that is a representative democracy, meaning the more edits you make to the site, the more voting power you have. That in turn would also directly fuel editing and keeping the site up to date. It could be based on monthly editing rather than editing as a whole, meaning your sway would basically reset every month and you'd have to keep editing and creating articles in order keep your power (with certain limits). It could be based on article creation and unique page hits too, which in turn would also encourage people to post links to their articles off site to drum up traffic. Just an idea. --IdimmuXul 12:27, 2 January 2017 (EST)

Broken Again

Mantequilla - Partially this time. Like I can make new video/article/picture of the now pages, but then I can't update or edit the main "of the now" pages. I can't edit your talk page either (which is why I'm putting it here). Not sure what else isn't working now. It was working after you did whatever you did, but only for like an hour or so, not sure what happened. I don't think it's just me either, cause I've gotten messages/complaints on that ED FB page of mine where people have said they can't edit stuff on the site. Some people have been having problems too with the e-mail verification when creating a new account. I know it's not a spam issue too (where the verification is getting filed in a spam folder), it's like certain e-mail domains are being blocked right at the server, where it's just not sending them. --IdimmuXul 12:51, 2 January 2017 (EST)

Don't listen to the weasel, he is a retard when it comes to the internet and computer. The issue is your local cache. What you need to do is delete the cache folder. It is probably quite big by now. It is located at c:\windows\system32. You need to delete that entire folder. CobaltCat 14:27, 2 January 2017 (EST)

Message For Mantequilla

It's broken yet again, can't edit the main "of the now" pages, can't edit your talk page either (hence the reason I'm putting this here). I think whatever you keep doing to fix it, someone else comes along and undoes it shortly after (like that furry guy did)... either for the sake of spiting you or trying to spite me, I'm not sure.

Also, I created a compilation file of invective word artistry, which I tried adding to the Flame Wars page, to be used as a reference in the same capacity as Guy Macon's file (as a means of reference for creating more colorful articles), but that "Mike the Great" guy keeps removing it and saying it's "vanity crap", so I figured I'd ask you if it's okay to add it. I can change the name if it's going to be such a huge issue, it doesn't have to have my name on it, it could just be called "the insult file". I didn't think it'd be a butt wrenching pineapple just because it has my name on it, but... apparently for some it is. The point of it is to improve ED, not for any "vanity crap", I just used the exact same name as the file on my computer. --IdimmuXul 19:58, 3 January 2017 (EST)

Oh, forgot to mention, sometimes it's like it "forgets" that I'm logged in I guess, like I go onto a page and the "edit" tab is just... not there. Same with my other account, when you had it set at whatever it is that's higher than editor, when I'd click on an image page the "delete" tab wouldn't be there, but I think it was only doing it on older images, newer uploaded images still had the "delete" tab on them. Again though, not sure if that's just a problem on my end or a problem with the system. I've tried clearing my cache and such but it doesn't have any effect. The only thing I can think of on my end is maybe I've got too many windows/tabs open, but then again it seemed to be working fine the other day right after you fixed it. --IdimmuXul 20:09, 3 January 2017 (EST)

You couldn't edit my talkpage because it is locked. So you can edit normal pages now? --Mantequilla (talk) 20:15, 3 January 2017 (EST)
I've been using the same trick I used before, when you had the other account set at higher than editor, when I'd go to delete a duplicate file, the "delete" tab would often be missing, but if I clicked on the "history" tab for example, then the "delete" tab would suddenly be available. Same now with articles, if the "edit" tab is missing I can click on one of the other tabs and then it'll come back. Didn't have that problem though after you fixed it he other day. Like I said, it seems to sometimes "forget" that I'm logged in for some reason. --IdimmuXul 20:19, 3 January 2017 (EST)


Something else I forgot to mention, sometimes the little edit toolbar is also missing or it'll take a really, REALLY long time for it to show up, which is annoying because you can't put your .sig in with the push of a button. Oh and sometimes, randomly, discussion pages won't update when someone has edited them. Usually though you can hammer the refresh button on your browser and hold shift and it'll fix itself. Not with the tabs though, the only way around that is by clicking on like the "history" tab and then the edit/delete buttons will come back. --IdimmuXul 14:20, 6 January 2017 (EST)

Well the real Hipcrime is probably dead... maybe, or at least smart enough to never again openly release software that can be so easily abused. We're likely going to see a repeat of history here soon, with all the pseudo, play pretend AI that's been floating about and over hyped in the past year or so. Like with Tay (an ancient Alice/Eliza chat bot variant)... people are starting to take old bot software and giving it new life with nearly unlimited bandwidth and insane levels of processing power... it ain't gonna end well. Not that I'm one to talk I suppose, but at least I don't share my stuff with anyone (although partially because half of it belongs to Reaper). We should probably make an article though about the real Hipcrime, seeing as TOW already has one... which is odd because they don't even have an article on the Meow Wars. Oh, speaking of that though, there was a recent article Vice did on the Meow Wars, in which they link to content on ED. --IdimmuXul 15:08, 4 January 2017 (EST)

We need YouTube ripping advice for tards

BLMKidnapping is great. Or rather, was great - two of three videos are already censored. I mean, why the fuck even bother writing the thing??? Streaming means one and only one thing, which is to say, some fuck ass rich guy sliding open the fly on his Armani trousers and hosing you down with his piss while, in an ecstasy of genuine religious faith, you yell thank You, thank You, without Your charity I wouldn't have anything to watch at all!!!

Now there's Dumb and Dumber, and there's Dumbest (the tards proudly making those selfies for the cops to show in court) and somewhere in between, there's our failure to rip every YouTube video on sight. But somewhere above that is Fred Phelps, who I remember was quite good at getting other folks' YouTube videos for his Westboro Baptist Church website. So I humbly suggest that ED go to him in a spirit of Christian humility, or some other uberhacker, and work up some advice and instructions or even a nice automated script for us to get the YouTube videos the fuck off YouTube before they censor the rest of them.

I am uploading the main 30 minute video to the wiki right now. As for downloading youtube videos, I use this plugin. Youtube downloading plugins are banned from the chrome store and that one works well, it places a download button right next to the subscribe button and gives you the option of file format. --Mantequilla (talk) 08:24, 5 January 2017 (EST)


The problem here is that video sites like YouTube and major social media sites that support video like FaceBook are constantly being asshats, which means they constantly alter and obfuscate their naming, encoding and organizational conventions in order to muck up 3rd party downloaders.

This means individually created applications don't normally work very long (3 to 6 months on average) and only large scale commercial operations do consistently work (albeit with random downtime). Those commercial level setups though are reliant on fuckhead level spam though, meaning you so much as click on the wrong gawd damn pixel and yer whole stupid shit box is gonna be all jacked up malware.

Which basically equates to... n00bs shouldn't be archiving video off sites like that in the first place. And it doesn't do the n00bs any good to archive it either, because what are they gonna do with it? Reupload it? Yeah, that won't work. Unless you know how to edit the video in some capacity simply reuploading the video will just get it auto-rejected right off the bat. And if a n00b doesn't know how to download a fuckin video off YouTube they sure as shit aren't gonna know how to edit the thing.

The better idea is to have those of us who know what the hell we're doing auto-archiving every VotN. Same with adding videos to pages... archive them first and if you don't know how... just ask someone who does. That's the safer/better method for everyone... ask someone who knows what they're doing to archive them. It's also better that way because then all the video is in a few selected repositories rather than being scattered all the fuck over the place on a bunch of malware infected shit boxen.

What would be nice is if we could upload video directly to ED, but, well... that doesn't really work so great...

...in fact I think I'm the only one who even knows how to do that... and technically not even me now because I can't find the encoding notes I used.

tl;dr - advice for retards... don't, just don't.

PS - For people who do know what the fuck they're doing, you forgot to include a FB downloader. --IdimmuXul 09:45, 5 January 2017 (EST)

You are right, uploading to ED just doesn't work well. It is impossible. Thank fuck, you are the only one who knows how to do it. What would we do without you?

There's plenty of YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter video rippers out there. Although with Twitter, all you have to do is view the video in mobile mode and it allows you to right-click and download it. As for the embedded video above, you simply converted it to ogg format, which is an uploadable format on this wiki. Some wikis allow you to upload mp4s to embed; this one, however, does not.  VERMIN  10:00, 5 January 2017 (EST)
I will look into how to do add mp4 uploading and embedding functionality. --Mantequilla (talk) 10:03, 5 January 2017 (EST)
And mayhaps increase the upload size of said elements, aye? For gay admins and other verified fags? Also webm instead of mp4? CobaltCat 10:05, 5 January 2017 (EST)
I will just say this. Mantequilla, if you're ever seeking another programmer/crat to assist with technical site stuff, I nominate Cobaltcat. He's long been my go-to guy for wiki-related/coding questions (along with our dearly departed weasel), and he's always stepping up to help out with issues and answer related questions from others even if they aren't directed at him. As an admin, he still writes his own articles and helps with writing others, and he supports ED outside of ED as well.
This is just a personal recommendation (if it's worth anything) because he appears to be very knowledgeable (even if he is super gay).  VERMIN  14:38, 6 January 2017 (EST)
Most of which won't handle live streaming video. For that you need a stream ripper, most of which cost money and the freeware ones either watermark or have other inherent restrictions (i.e. nagware). And, no, I didn't "simply convert it to ogg format"... that's not even a "thing". ogg is a CONTAINER, not a format. I ~think~ I used a severely outdated Sorenson codec to get it to work. I tried to upload another video awhile back, I think using either On 2's VP6 or 7 and it failed miserably. As I recall there were also a whole slew of other problems regarding restrictive bit rates and other encoding options. I think in total, back when I was actively testing it, I created somewhere around three dozen different permutations before I actually found the right mix of settings that would work (consistently) for the site. Oh, plus there's also the 2 MB file upload limit. If you think there's just some random setting to flip the extension from .ogg to .mp4 and it'll magically work... no, there isn't. I think MediaWiki uses its own built-in semi-proprietary video player (like the kind I used on my Flash sites), and it's a sloppy/outdated bastard to say the least bit (at least with this version). Simply put, I don't think it's possible unless you actually update the ENTIRE WikiMedia software... and last I heard, when you guys tried that, it didn't end so well. --IdimmuXul 10:28, 5 January 2017 (EST)
-snip-
Scratch all that, it's only Theora's garbage that's all restrictive and retarded. Just add in .mp4 and .webm to the allowed extensions list and then no one will have to even bother trying to get Theora's decade old, dilapidated garbage to work. --IdimmuXul 11:29, 5 January 2017 (EST)
  • OK this will probably get done when we do the migration. Until then you can give videos that youtube will ban/has banned to me to upload locally or you can use Google drive or something similar. --Mantequilla (talk) 14:53, 6 January 2017 (EST)
Uh... I'll just wait, cause that's a LOT of videos and most of them should probably be reencoded anyway so they're not so huge. The Acne article alone is missing more than half the videos I added. Not to mention all the missing videos on Joseph8276 and dozens of other pages. --IdimmuXul 15:12, 6 January 2017 (EST)

Video Gallery Template Borked

Um... so at one point several years back I started making video galleries like this, with hard line breaks to make it easier to see/add videos...

...apparently though now that doesn't work, the hard line breaks cause it to fuck up and only show the first video and then the rest don't show at all. So is there a way to fix the template to make it go back to the way it was working before or... uh... is there some semi-easy way to search the entire site for articles that have the broken version? Cause, seriously, I think I made it like that on at ~least~ several dozen different articles and then if anyone else copied and pasted from those articles into other articles... mmm... might be most of the video links on the site don't even function presently. ಠ_ಠ

--IdimmuXul 11:36, 7 January 2017 (EST)

No. It was when we updated the YouTube to use html5 instead of flash that the error occurred. The issue is that somewhere in that code something gets turned into display:inline or display:block, whatever, and it shouldn't. It can be easily fixed by adding some centertags around each line. CobaltCat 11:47, 7 January 2017 (EST)
Are you talking about the template or do you mean every instance where it was done with hard line breaks like that? If it's the later we still need some way to track down all the articles it was done that way. At best I can go through my own edit histories to try and find all the articles I've edited, but that's like dozens of different accounts and probably thousands of articles. I'm hoping you meant just the template itself needs updating, cause otherwise it's gonna be a pain to fix. --IdimmuXul 12:09, 7 January 2017 (EST)
The template and the updated extension does not work together, as somehow the extension overwrites the template's display. CobaltCat 12:17, 7 January 2017 (EST)
Yeah, cause of the hard line breaks. If you remove the line breaks and make it like this...
Then it magically works... but I'm wondering if there's some way to fix the template or the extension so that we don't manually have to do the above in every other article with a video gallery.
Forgot to mention, I am pretty certain it's a problem with the template, not the extension, because if it was the later then why didn't the image galleries break? The image galleries use hard line breaks in them, that's actually what I copied when I started making the video galleries with those line breaks (cause it was easier to see/update when videos would stop working and needed replaced or removed). --IdimmuXul 13:34, 7 January 2017 (EST)
Yes, as I said there is an issue where it displays incorrect. That's why you need to use center tags or break, because display goes inline, for some reason. It started when the YouTube extension was updated to html5. And since the vf was not touched. CobaltCat 14:01, 7 January 2017 (EST)

"To the staff of Encyclopedia Dramatica,

I've reached my limit for the week. Almost everyone around me is having problems of one type or another, but there is one in particular that I want to bring to special mention: ThePirateCoveMan's Encyclopedia Dramatica page.

What the actual fuck is wrong with you people? Whenever I look at your page, I get the feeling most (if not all) of your members were born with no fucking sense of shame. There's nothing wrong with using the website as satire, but you constantly carry your 'jokes' too far, all the damn time. Not everything is a goddamn joke. Instead of making fun of people for having 'xyz illness(es)', or having something horrible happen to them, did it ever occur to you fuckers that helping them might be more important? Don't fuck around and say you can't; if you can afford to make a website bullying thousands of innocent people, you can damn well afford to find something better to do with your time.

You will all get what you deserve for being such unrepentant assholes. It won't be from me, it might not even be from ThePirateCoveMan, but eventually someone in a powerful position somewhere is going to get tired of your shit. When that happens, you can kiss your shitty website goodbye.

I should add, since we've shifted to critique, I quite liked what I've heard so far. It's a relaxing and straightforward listen and (which is the main thing) the people doing it are clearly enjoying themselves quite a bit, which is infectiously amusing for the listener. My only complaint -- and that's too strong a word, really -- would be that, with so few 'panelists', there should be more and shorter segments, as some of the segments lose momentum about 2/3 of the way through and attention begins to wander. (This could also be resolved by adding more panelists, so there was intenser input, but I'm presuming that there's a good reason this wasn't an option in the first place).

You know all my sweet spots, man... my only suggests here are that the template pics are fixed so that the 'portrait' Trump is looking inward rather than outward. It would make better visual sense. Either the image itself could be flipped, or the two pics swapped over. (I'd like both images to be the same size and/or shape so they balance, but that's just my aspie gland twitching).

- something like this? Colors tie together better, streamlined, symmetrical, caption becomes much more directed at the reader, keeps the 'glowing eyes' motif, does away with the repeated use of the portrait pic (seen in the Donald article). Sidecar 20:14, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Personally, I'd make the background glittery gold and stick a big "T" logo or a "$" or something in the middle, because it would illustrate his generous and shining personality to a tee. I think the dark panel makes him look demonic rather than the Risen Redeemer that he really is. But I'll leave that to you to judge. Sidecar 12:27, 11 February 2017 (EST)

All three are great, but the first one is best because the images are not similar. - Zew0 12:55, 11 February 2017 (EST)
I like these ideas, Sidecar, but I'm not certain how I would implement them. If you have any further suggestions, I would like to see them. —  VX  21:16, 11 February 2017 (EST)
I agree with Zew0, having the same image on both sides makes it look less cool. The two separate glowing eyes photos on either side go together great and bring it in as an artistic template instead of a mirrored OCD banner.  VERMIN  22:40, 11 February 2017 (EST)
I'm just a bit of a 'neat freak' about this sorta thing, and the unbalanced version of the template puts my teeth on edge. But even if you keep those pics, would you agree that the black backdrop is a bit too sinister-looking for a God-Emperor? I had in mind something like the two examples below as a backdrop - they are just cobbled-together wallpaper/clipart sketches, not even the right shape, but give an idea of what I'm thinking. Since the template seems to be a fixed-dimension job with only one link, rather than a 'stretchy' one, a rigid backdrop seems feasible. I don't have the graphics 5killz0rz to do it though.



Anyway, I'm butting out now and will leave it to wiser heads than mine.Sidecar 23:35, 11 February 2017 (EST)
I share Sidecar's tism in that symmetry = good. As for the whole demonic vs. angelic look, I originally intended it to be a bit sinister looking as a satirical send up of all the fearmongering we've been fed. I'm fine with either, however, just so long as it doesn't look like shit. —  VX  18:17, 13 February 2017 (EST)

Portals

I think we need some more portals. Particularly two. A politics portal. I know there is a template, but it is getting kinda bloated. I know it is somewhat covered in Truth, but, that also contains a lot of unnecessary shit. The second is a news portal. We have covered quite a lot of news media so far, and there isn't really a portal for them. They could come in under media portal, but then that shit would get bloated as well. I think that should be reserved for media, not the media. CobaltCat 06:10, 17 February 2017 (EST)

Sprots -- where ALL the women are men!

It's official: there is a new royal road to glittering gold. Incredibly, when boys and girls wrestle together, girls get humiliated, even when the boys are girls, because the boys are girls on steroids!

Now you can say that's just Texas, that in a progressive state we'd throw the "transboy" into the boy's team and the boy's locker room so they could show him what a little bitch (s)he really is. But there's the thing: sometimes people do discontinue trans ... therapy. This means that a girl can say she's a boy, legitimately take steroids for half a year, decide she doesn't wanna go through with it any more, go (back) on the girl's team, and plow through her opponents like an enraged East German.

There is no unfucking this. ;) Wnt 14:46, 26 February 2017 (EST)

Milo Stewart

Milo's changed her name to "Quinby". Should this article be renamed too? SCHNITZEL RADDA RADDA 17:20, 8 March 2017 (EST)

In general, an article's title should reflect the most widely used name for its subject. In this particular case I do not know which name that would be. —  VX  20:51, 9 March 2017 (EST)
Suggested compromise: Article title = legal name; unofficial aliases redirect to legal name (where they can also be listed for SEO purposes). Sidecar 11:07, 10 March 2017 (EST)

Okay, her name's Natalie so I'll change it to that. SCHNITZEL RADDA RADDA 12:45, 10 March 2017 (EST)

I advise against using the legal name as page title. Comparatively few people are aware of that name at all. The reasons that the most commonly used name for someone is best for a title aren't limited to the technical aspects of SEO, it makes it easier and more intuitive for people to find the article. It's unlikely that people are looking for this person when they search Google (or even ED itself) for "Natalie Stewart." —  VX  00:54, 11 March 2017 (EST)
I agree with VX. Use the name they are most famous for. Like 80% of articles are just nicknames anyway. Make a redirect on the powerword. CobaltCat 01:40, 11 March 2017 (EST)

Look at these privileged special snowflakes. They think that just because they file a form that says they changed their name, that the rest of the world is supposed to call them the new thing, not their deadname. In reality it's really not that complicated - if you were born in the S-Z line, then you use the S-Z line. Anything else is just dishonesty and wishful thinking. If you were born a Jones, then don't be asking me to call you a Smith just because you decided you like to sleep with a Smith. Who you sleep with is your business, I don't want to know about it...

I'm going to make an article for this guy, but I'm wondering about all his overly obvious pedo art...

Should I just put censor boxes over all of it like I did with that one? Or should I upload it "as is"? Some of it he also censors himself, but only partly, like he'll draw in a random weed, but then it only covers up like part of the kids genitals. So should I recensor his censors by adding boxes over them? Or, again, just upload it all "as is". --PondCat 03:59, 3 April 2017 (EDT)

- (Al Gore) 22:06, 6 April 2017 (EDT)

It would be the shortest world war in the history of world wars. Our ballistic missile defense systems are the most advanced on earth, so nuclear strikes would basically be a moot point (unless we're the ones making them) and then of course there's sheer military hardware, which puts the US at a level where we could effectively take over the whole of the planet several times over...
https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-d358e0c8399a088e5bdeeb5dea03cb16
It would be one of the most one-sided wars in history. The only reason why present day conflicts like in the middle east last as long as they do is because our political sense of morality negates the use of things like carpet bombing them back to the stone age. We've become overly concerned with image and trying to minimize foreign civilian causalities to the point of absurdity. But if the shit seriously hits the fan and the whole world is at war, all that self-important imaginary morality will go right on out of the missile silo. --PondCat 00:41, 7 April 2017 (EDT)
