Talk:Fall down

From RationalWikiWiki

[edit] Name

Shouldn't this page be renamed like Pink's was to reflect the fact he in now called: Women are my superior and I respect them as such. 219.90.133.165 05:22, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Doubtful. This page is about a guy who uses numerous socks at RW. It's called Fall down because that's the original name he used. If it gets renamed at all it should be as Andrew Usher. weaseLICIOuS ^{Bite Me} 13:24, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Has the original account been renamed? Well that's a great way for people to keep track of things, isn't it? Will the name stick? Anyway, if that's the case then I think the best thing would be to:

• Make a note on the article to that effect.
• Create a re-direct from "Women are my.. etc"
• Perhaps create a redirect from Andrew Usher as well.

Was the rename a unilateral act or consensus? I'll bet somebody just thought it was a clever idea and did it without consultation. Anyway, I'll do all of the above unless somebody has a better idea. --False Flag 19:02, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Yep, here's the link. See everything else is the rename log for the way his other socks have been renamed. Some of them were because the original user names were offensive; some of them were probably just changed for shits & giggles. weaseLICIOuS ^{Bite Me} 21:30, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Page lock

This page has been locked so only bureaucrats can edit it for a six week period. This has been done because:

(1) Material which was being edit-warred over on Fall down's page ([1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]) was copied over to here. Therefore this page was locked as a necessary measure to prevent edit warring from breaking out on this article.

(2) To force the parties involved to stop warring and discuss the issue like mature editors.

(3) The current revision accurately presents the events and information to best of RationalWikiWiki's knowledge. Because any changes involving the removal of material considered objectionable by some will, by their very nature, prevent the fullest and most accurate presentation of said information, it should be discussed first before being altered by the aggrieved parties.

I welcome and encourage any discussion and criticism of this action. Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 02:12, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Alison Cassidy is just as much of a wiki-troll as that Usher guy. Screw them both and their lame agendas. human^{be in} 05:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

How Schlaflyesque, Mr Murane. I thought you were against abuses of power. 20:09, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Point taken (though Schlafly would never invite discussion on the matter). Would you describe to me why you think this constitutes an abuse of power? Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 21:30, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

You are locking the article so that only the version you want can stay up. 21:41, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I would add that this isn't the "anti-CP" that RW struggles with. This is a little wiki, with minimal oversight, and might need to protect its views far more aggressively than RW - or perhaps even CP. I hope that comments on the talk page will receive due consideration for addition? And does the article state that it is locked and invite people to whinge here? human^{be in} 03:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
