User talk:Parrot of Doom

I'm really a delightful person, as evidenced by this spoonful of Angel Delight Some basic rules. One, anyone coming here accusing me of WP:OWN will be told in no uncertain terms where to shove it. Two, anyone whinging about WP:CIVIL will be referred to the previous answer. Three, anyone coming here with a genuine request for help will of course be afforded all the help I can give. Four, never again will I venture onto ANI or any similar admin-related pages, either to resolve an issue, or to respond to somebody else's issue; I'm here to write articles, nothing else. Five, I apologise to those who've supported me in the past, but good-faith content editors can only put up with so much nonsense before they begin to question what good, if any, they're doing here. One day, I'm sure, all that's left here will be a clique of admins and a claque of their sycophants; the rest of the world will have moved on, hopefully to projects where people's contributions are valued, and not decried.

Howdy

Hey there, I remember you being responsible for a string of awesome Pink Floyd articles showing up at FAC for awhile there. after months of low-level editing, I'm getting back into the swing of things. Do you have any music-related projects underway? WesleyDodds (talk) 09:46, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Welcome back, not right now I'm afraid, my tastes have shifted more toward the bizarre and unbelievable. Plus those Pink Floyd articles seem to take a lot of effort to maintain as people are always coming along and adding cruft to them. If you'd like my help with something though, please feel free to ask. Parrot of Doom 20:00, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

The Casbah Club

I have been "topic-banned" for one year on any article concerning The Beatles, and any article that mentions Liverpool. It's all part of the proposed "the Beatles" movement, which I disagree with. Sorry that I can't help you.--andreasegde (talk) 18:30, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

I just thought you might be interested to know. Parrot of Doom 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

I thank you, as I am very interested, but the chains and the ball of admin corrections hamper one a bit - ouch. BTW, I like the introduction to your talk page a lot.--andreasegde (talk) 19:57, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Well it has the advantage of pulling the rug from beneath the idiots before they even start. I'm sorry to see such a fuss about the use of "The". Parrot of Doom 20:40, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Gunpowder Plot

I've just noticed that refs #87 and #121 point to a source that isn't listed in the Bibliography, Haynes (1999). Malleus Fatuorum 17:28, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Just a typo, should be 2005. Parrot of Doom 18:21, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Right to Write

Mr. Parrot of Doom. You waste your time putting other people down when they are trying to help this website. You have failed to look at yourself. An editor of Wikipedia. You have no life. All you do is try to make yourself look smarter than everyone else. You use sarcasm, useless information, and the tone of your comments shows that you are a very sad soul. Please let users that are trying to help Wikipedia with their knowledge edit pages. All of you editors always say "It must be properly cited" blah blah blah. You fail to understand that some people just want to share their knowledge and may not, cannot, or don't want to cite. I know there are vandals that try to trash Wikipedia and aren't trying to add to the website. Please let users that just want to say there was an alternate listing to the Pink Floyd album Wish You were Here say that! Let editors tell their story. How can that harm the website! It's just making it better! This site suffers from being boring. The tone of the writing in Wikipedia is monotone. If you just let editors express themselves freely, then Wikipedia would be much better.

Sincerely. A former Wikipedia editor — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.212.194 (talk) 05:02, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

What I do with my time is none of your business. And signing yourself off as a former wikipedia editor somewhat contradicts your claim that I'm wasting it. So do me a favour and fuckoff. Parrot of Doom 08:38, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
