This is just a guess, but is it Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl? Trey56 04:48, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

It is indeed! — Defender1031*Talk 04:50, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Yay! Ooh, and now that I'm allowed to Google it, I see it appears on Wikipedia:Dante and his Divine Comedy in popular culture... Trey56

THE UNDERMINER!!! From the Disney/Pixar movie The Incredibles. And if you must know, it's in the last scene besides the credits. But I guess at that point I'm just showing off. -- Super Martyo boing! 04:13, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Correct. — Defender1031*Talk 04:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Was that from I Robot? Homestar-Winner (talk) 04:25, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I need more. Who said it? — Defender1031*Talk 04:25, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Susan said it. Homestar-Winner (talk) 04:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Correct. — Defender1031*Talk 04:28, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey I'm complaining. I got the pirates line the moment you said it to me online, and you know it. You asked the question in response to something I wrote. I also got all your other quotes instantly. Your latest one for example is from that Buzz movie, where Buzz's partner tells him it, the blank part is Zurg. I expect you to correct your list of winner, or at least give me a lifetime achievement award on the subject. -Insane Coder 89.139.31.118 05:14, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

This quote is from the movie, Clue. TheCoolBot

Need more, who said it? — Defender1031*Talk 20:17, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Wadsworth is talking to Professor Plum, right? TheCoolBot 22:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Very good. — Defender1031*Talk 11:21, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Zapod Beeblebrox? From THHGTTG?

I don't even know who or what that is. — Defender1031*Talk 14:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

You've never read the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy?!?--Kanjiro talk 14:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I know! It's Bruce, from Bruce Almighty! TheCoolBot 19:50, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Correct! — Defender1031*Talk 17:41, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

The quote of the week is Jeff Sinclair, from Babylon 5, right? — _talk Bubsty _edits 01:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Doctor Franklin and Jeff Sinclair to be exact. Yes. — Defender1031*Talk 10:58, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Sweet... Ive never actually watched Babylon 5, but my friend is obsessed with it and constantly quotes characters. — _talk Bubsty _edits 19:43, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm obsessed with it too, though i'm only 3/4 through season 3... SOOOO good! You should watch it. — Defender1031*Talk 19:53, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

"Major" Rebecca Childs from The Core. TheCoolBot 20:46, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Apology

Well, I don't appreciate any of this, either, even though I'm most likely the one that started it. Like I said, I have autism and I'm not lying (however you spell that word). Not being able to control my anger is a "side effect." Now, I know you're going to say that what I just said has nothing to do with this, but it does. I know people don't believe me and I'm sorry if I offended you, but I see no rules about anything anywhere, because of the obviously stupid person that I am. I know I'm going to be labeled as an idiot now, so I'm afraid to make an account and put the name "Taiya" up anywhere. I listened again to caffeine and I still don't hear anything. The quote of the week was from a later part in the email, and I probably won't believe the "real thing" any time soon. Oh, well. I don't care if anyone hates me. I just wanted to help the Homestar universe because I suck at doing anything else.

Deleting Talk Pages

"i'm pretty sure that it's not good form to just delete a talk page like that without at least creating an archive... (someone correct me if i'm wrong)"

Please read user space. OptimisticFool 13:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, Phlip set me straight. — Defender1031*Talk 13:53, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Revert warring

DeFender, you say "stop revert warring", yet you also were revert warring. Does that seem right to you? If you felt talk page discussion was so important, why didn't you initiate it? To borrow Smokey the Bear's phrase, "Only YOU can prevent edit wars." Heimstern Läufer 18:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I was reverting because the fact was originally written like that, and i was saying to discuss it before just removing it. Now that I think about it, you're right, I should probably have just let it go, discussed it, and let it be resolved, after all, does it really matter if it's on the page during the discussion, as long as it ends up the way the community decides it should? I apologize, and will try to be less agressive in the future. — Defender1031*Talk 18:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

hey, hey, hey

i haven't checked out my userpage for like a month, so i was just poking around and saw your "i'm so stealing you shomer shabbat box" comment so naturally, i click your username instead of finishing my essay. so what do i find on your page? sweet, sweet fame. recognition on the same list as some of the wikiest big shots on the wiki.... i'll try to keep the kavod from getting to my head. much love, TheDude 03:49, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Haha... cool. (Though my cool user list isn't really so much kavod... it's more just gashmius... But it's fun so it's all good.) — Defender1031*Talk 06:46, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Undoing legitimate edits

If you're going to undo an edit that looks suspicious but that might turn out to be correct (like this), please leave a note on the original editor's talk page or on a high-visibility talk page informing someone of what action you took, in case it turns out the edit was indeed legitimate and should not have been reverted (as was the case here). Something like, "Hey, I noticed you made X important change to such-and-such page. What was your basis for this edit?" Thanks, and keep on tranglin'. — It's dot com 03:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

To Answer Your Question

Regarding my removal of all evil acts from Strong Bad Smiling, there was a discussion a few months ago over whether that gag was notable since his usual personality is not the direct opposite of happy (like Strong Sad). It was suggested on the talk page that the notablility would be improved by removing times he smiled because he did something bad. The question I was referring to in my headline was that "why?" in your edit summary. I apologize if I am too vague. You can say your opinion on the SB Smiling talk page. Bad Bad Guy 19:51, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

actions speak louder than words. — Defender1031*Talk 20:17, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Beetlejuice/Betelgeuse

I was going to change this, but I see you reverted this change once, so I figured I'd bring it up with you first. According to the wikipedia article, the character is actually spelled like the star (ie "Betelgeuse") despite the fact the title is spelled differently. But I can see this could be confusing - most people more easily recognize the title spelling, so... should it just be left, though it's technically incorrect? Would you mind if it was changed back?Farmboyjad 04:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Leave it, I actually think wikipedia is wrong, why would the title character of a movie's name be spelled differently than the name of the movie itself? And i just read the wikipedia article, it makes no mention of the spelling, just always calls him "beetlejuice". Finally, this is the sort of thing for the talk page of an article itself, not my personal talk page. — Defender1031*Talk 12:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

IRC?

Do you? Sam the Man 13:12, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

That's very vague... I think you're asking if i'm on IRC... all the freaking time, why? — Defender1031*Talk 13:13, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

"Currently" Fun Facts

I thought I'd like to help you in your search by pointing out one in Everybody to the Limit#Remarks. I was unable to remove it myself. Bad Bad Guy 15:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't tryin' to undermine you at all, btw. I just though you might have not noticed. DAGRON 23:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, i never thought you were. Sam reverted you, not me. You were right, i made a mistake. — Defender1031*Talk 00:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

User talk:99.163.48.80

He's only made one edit, so why did you suggest to him creating an account? Homestar-Winner (talk) 01:42, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

if you followed the conversation on Talk:Twisted Emails the guy has a rotating ip, it's the same anonny that was there all along, and now he's cableman jorge. — Defender1031*Talk 01:44, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

What to do/what not to do

ok, i'm pretty new to the whole wiki thing. Just so you don't have to keep messaging me, is there some page that'll show me what's ok and what's not to do?
Thanks, Defender-man!
AwkwardFire 07:03, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, you weren't doing anything wrong there. Copying other people's userboxes is fine. I was merely commenting ho i noticed you had read my page that's all. As for what to do and what not to do, check the links in the first post on your talk page, those are a great place to start. — Defender1031*Talk 07:05, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! AwkwardFire 07:11, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Any time, i love helping new users. — Defender1031*Talk 07:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Current Sandbox version

Kudos to you, Dan. I think you should add it to the list on your page. DAGRON 07:55, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm waiting for the vote to be complete before i do so, i fully intend to. — Defender1031*Talk 08:20, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Visibly Lacking Body Parts

I tried to follow your suggestion about splitting Lack of Visible Arms (sorry if you wanted to split it yourself). Are you satisfied with the format and the title? Bad Bad Guy 23:52, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Looks good. — Defender1031*Talk 00:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Irridisregardless

Hey, I noticed you reverted my edit about "irridisregardless" in the article Peasant's Quest. I added it back in because I believe this really is the likely origin of this particular portmanteau. See Talk:Peasant's Quest#Irridisregardless. - furrykef (Talk at me) 06:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

HS & TC

Hey Defender1031. Would ya mind if Homestar and The Cheat get along? Katonator 3000 03:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Umm... I'm not sure I know what you mean... But i think you're asking if you can make a relationship page about HS and TC, and that's got nothing to do with me, i don't do much by way of those pages, i'm just the guy who wrote the script to make that cool chart. Consider any of those pages to be like any other page on the wiki, all that chart means is that someone wnated an easy way to organize that info, and that that chart doesn't really belong in the main namespace, so i put it in my own. — Defender1031*Talk 03:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

The Font

You're wrong, it's a comma. There's barely any difference, especially when it's small, but it's there. Zoom in. 75.175.146.9 18:42, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm STILL confused why we don't use canned welcomes. --The 386 ^{My talk} 00:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Careless reverting

DeFender1031: This is ridiculous. (I am also leaving the same message to SamFisher1022 and Sam the Man.) As established editors I believe you handled poorly the welcoming of this user. Instead of providing a more welcoming and inviting message, you have a quick edit war of sorts in someone else's user talk page. Imagine how a new user would feel seeing this kind of mysterious edit summary arguments going on. This sort of behavior could easily turn away prospective editors (good or not so much). I think in general we've established a bad habit of quick reverts with a simple edit summary and no explanation. Friendly but informative notices to less established users should be the norm, not the exception. --Stux 20:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, crap and such

I know in this particular case it's a little silly, but we should nonetheless endeavor to not call user contributions "crap" whenever possible. Even when a user happens to be a complete and utter moron, we should extend every courtesy possible to them and never let on that we agree they are unfit for duty, know what I mean? It's "taking the high road". - Qermaq - (^T/C)  04:13, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Using Show Preview

Hello DeFender1031, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded. Thanks,  Loafing 21:55, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks muchly for the sig figs. Um...sig fix.

It's okay, i still forget the occasional ; here and there (usually at the end of class declarations). And please, my mentor knows even more than i do, and does them better. It takes work, yes, but it's not so hard to believe. — Defender1031*Talk 00:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

TGS14 Transcript

In the future, please replace an "under construction" template with a "section stub" template if you decide you do not want to finish the transcript (as seen in Teen_Girl_Squad_Issue_14). I have added the appropiate template after accidentally putting the wrong one in after your ommittance of a replacement one. 125.238.9.80 12:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, we tend not to put those templates on new toon pages, owing to the fact that they are going to be looked over and fixed, but i appreciate your zelousness in trying to make sure what you think is supposed to be done gets done. — Defender1031*Talk 12:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem :) 125.238.9.80 08:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Response

I have a wiki name somewhere, I visit this page extremely often. But thank you for your kind words it is nice to know not everyone is as extreme. Isn't the HR Wiki notorious for it's difficulty though?

Thank you, once again!!

Linking

You say we don't link our own references, so I just wanted to point out that that's not necessarily true. See CGNU Prinicpal's Office for one example I can think of offhand. -DAGRON 01:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, i've fixed that too. — Defender1031*Talk 09:51, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Not me

Hey, I'm Mike and I use show preview, but I did a lot of editing that day. MichaelXX2

Hey my homebro

I improved the commentary tag. Can I have some backup? Your pal!

I don't think that template is needed though, and spamming talk pages trying to get support is not a wise idea. — Defender1031*Talk 15:07, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

confused big time

uhh... are you confusing me with YK? I made that template, and i want your opinion on it. my tolerance for crap like this isn't as high as it was, say, a month ago. even though it's the summer months all up ons us, i have poison ivy rashes and a friggin painful sunburn and they both cause me crap. i don't need more than two promblems. so fine, destroy three hours of my work for all i care. i just don't put up with crud crap like that much anymore.

I have to get a shot for it too

No i am not. When i was talking to you, i was talking to you, when i was talking to him i was talking to him. And please don't take it personally, remember, i was defending the page saying that it should be judged on its merits, remember? — Defender1031*Talk 04:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Michael, Defender is not destroying your work. He has no power to do so, as I've no doubt he would affirm. If your work is deleted, it will be because the community, not Defender, decides that it is not needed. Furthermore, I don't appreciate the cut of your jib. While I know it's frustrating to see your work nominated for deletion, replying by being impatient and rude isn't OK. In particular, your line "i just don't put up with crud crap like that much anymore" sounds a bit like a threat to me. You've been told several times not to be disruptive, and quite honestly, it's kind of trying my patience at this point. Heimstern Läufer 04:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks man ;-)  Green Helmet 02:57, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Why do you wish to keep me from my work? I purposely chose this time of night knowing only the most dedicated workers would be up. While the sysops rest, I ask one thing: please, please do not stop me in my mission. This place destroyed me and my life for the past two years, and I need revenge. Thank you.

If you really want an answer, it's because this place is not for you to make whatever statement you're trying to make. I don't know who you are. Your statement means nothing to anyone. All it is is senseless defacement. If you want to talk about it rather than damaging our work, i would be more than happy to talk to you. — Defender1031*Talk 02:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

What is there to talk about? I've talked all I wanted. I've been countless names, thatkidyoualllove, Seriously, Will....and with all of them I have been defaced. You weren't around back then. But this website is still a place of evil, and what I am doing is not senseless defacement. It is exacting revenge against what has been done to me. Goodbye, I'm off to somewhere else.

I guess i don't understand how our cataloging of homestar related information did harm to you in any way. I DO see the harm you are doing to us however. — Defender1031*Talk 02:27, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I DO see your grammatical errors. Do you have a page at the Fanstuff, perhaps...?

no. what's your point? — Defender1031*Talk 02:31, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

That was not a non-sequiter, just a hint. No matter now, I've been blocked by Lunar Jesters. What a fool, to prevent my mission.

this is going nowhere. i thought that since there seems to be some sort of "noble mission" here that you would at least be reasonable enough to explain what your reasons are, but alas, you're merely trolling, and asking me to stop was just a way of getting me out of your way. Creative, but ineffective. — Defender1031*Talk 02:39, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
