User talk:Gomphog
Hi
About the discussion with Aleister, I've spoken to him and he has been punished; I hope you haven't decided to leave. I'm happy to discuss things with you, let me know on my talk page or in IRC. --ChiefjusticeWii 22:06, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
My bad
I was totally wrong in what I did to you. I've never learned, before today, the site's total intimacy with its users. The fact of total sharing. And I should have been grateful that you choose to copy some words of mine, flattered and honored, thank you, instead of what I choose to be: angry, accusatory, and dismissive. My reasoning behind my reaction, which in no way excuses my action, turned out to be a mistake on my part concerning user pages. As a result of this I've learned a great deal, and maybe understand the site more. It's a group of friends. And friends observe the three "Golden Rules." In my communication with you I observed none of them. My hope is that you come back, because remember, I'm just one out of lots and lots of people here, people who it's fun to get to know and work with. You really are a very good writer and photochopper, and if you leave the site because of one asshole, well, that's pretty fucked up too. Don't be a fuck-up, like I was today, and leave due to my mistake, not yours. Aleister

Contest today
Happymonkey called for a writing contest which will start at 2:00 UTC (10 p.m. eastern time in the United States and other weird countries). Contestents will give each other an exact name of an article at app. 9:59 eastern time, and then we will write until 11:15 (3:15 UTC). We need at least one judge who will look at all the articles, say nay, or yay, or something, and tell us whatever they want to. Please sign up on Happymonkeys talk page, as participant or judge(s), and then we can pair people up around 9:30 eastern and let them know who they will give their page title to. (Inspired by DrSkullthumper contest of a month or so ago). Aleister 16:05 2 8
- where is happzmonkey page can you give a link????
- Happymonkey's talk page. People are signing up, and if Happymonkey comes back soon we will later let you know who to assign an exact title to, which you can put on their talk page one minute before the contest opens. Someone will put an exact title on your talkpage at the same time. Fun in the old ballpark, I tells ya. Aleister 23:59 2 8
Cthulu article
Yeah, this site is for your own stuff, not stuff you totally swiped from another wiki and didn't even bother to change. I've put the article in your userspace, in case you were planning to use it as the starting point for an article, but you don't get a review for something that's not remotely yours. If you do plan to rewrite it, do some work first, then get a review, and be sure to point to the original article, otherwise you'll get your ass a ban for stealing someone else's work, OK? --UU - natter 11:37, Aug 3
I put that on WikiWrit – Preceding unsigned comment added by NeuroticNinjaPirate666 (talk • contribs)
- Really? What, back in 2007? I'm not entirely sure I believe you. Any way you can prove that? (Actually, even if you can, why bring it here unchanged?) Furthermore, don't just delete people's comments unless you archive them. I might want to, for instance, discuss it with you. --UU - natter 15:38, Aug 3
Uncyclopedia was a obscure and awful website back then (look it up on Urban Dicionary)
- I told the people who complained about my note a few days ago, and I told you within it, that I was ranting at you for a reason, a tendency, not because of what you borrowed from me. Why don't you fess up on this one (I checked back on the page history of the author of the page in question, he's in his twenties now and has been active on that site and his blog since 2005), and I'll back you up if people try to infiban you. I'm for giving you another chance here. You say you're 14, and what I've read of your real edits here you are a damn good writer. You have no need to borrow, and learning this lesson now will save you lots and lots and lots of trouble in your life, in school, and on any jobs you want to take later (for God's sake, don't work at anything you don't like, another life lesson. I did that for a 18-months once, stupid of me). Fessing up is a hard thing to do (yes, I fucked my mom once, and my aunt. At the same time!!! /crying uncontrolably from getting that off my chest), but it's a major step. And I for one don't want to lose you from this site. Which is why I wrote what I did a few days ago. Can we all work this out? Thanks. Aleister 16:55 3 8
- p.s. But you know, in your defense, you could take the article and spork it, change it enough so it could fit in here. Some users use sporks of wikipedia pages, they take huge entire sections of an article and use it in theirs. I guess that's ok here (I've never done it) although the first time I saw it I didn't know it was okay and almost wrote the user not to do it. I would have got banned for that too, probably. Live and learns, I tells ya.

Anti-Emo Pill
So, Gomphog, remember our conversation about you "borrowing" content from other wikis? I suppose you'll now tell me you put this on Stupidedia, right? Look, translations from foreign Uncyc versions are accepted around here, but they have to be credited as such at the very least. It looks to me like once again you are trying to take the credit for someone else's work. I'd like you please to explain why I am mistaken, and make it convincing, otherwise you shall be on the receiving end of an anti-plagiarism ban. --UU - natter 13:26, Aug 10
I can't READ FUCKING GERMAN YOU NECRO-LOLI-FUCKING FAGGOT!!! – Preceding unsigned comment added by Gomphog (talk • contribs)
- Bad choice of words. When you get back from your one-day ban, consider that Babelfish, Google translate and more exist, and that the Stupidedia article, when translated via one of these website, looks remarkably like yours. Either you lifted it from there, or there is a co-incidence of colossal proportions. I want a good explanation. And be polite about it, or you get a week off. I'm not here to be fucked around. --UU - natter 15:05, Aug 10
- Oh dear. I thought changing from a NeuroticNinja666 to a Gomphog was an upgrade regards behavior. This isn't ED Gomphog. Please be polite when you come back - at least until the people here get used to you a lot more (and even then - watch the language) .Just a suggestion otherwise the admins will make it longer - I mean the ban. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 15:49, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
- You even borrowed the phrase "assuming no-one who liked the senseless bullshit before, reverts it" off my userpage lol. You are one crafty dude! But we won't have a rehash of Aleister's argument above. --Matfen 18:28, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, tuff love didn't work, talking to you sensibly didn't work, so I was the one to finger you on this one. Maybe face-to-face with the knowledge that you can't do this and someone will always catch you will help you later in life. I suggest you explain the copying truthfully, even if it's humbling and hard to do. Will you get another chance? I hope you do, but it doesn't make a difference, because as a writer this is a lesson you have to learn and confront with honesty. Just be honest and "let the chips fall where they may" (a phrase I made up). Cheers. Aleister

OK OK
ok ok, I did swipe that, but I have a bad education (I use microsoft word to check my spelling) and I have little experiance in writing articles and would like some guide or advice on how to write a article. PS - sorry for telling you to "F of". I suppose you could call it gomphogotry (Jabberwocky for gomphog and faggotry = gomphogotry). Gomphog 15:37, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
- Rightyho, the best way to get experience writing articles is to write articles. Sounds like a really crap thing to say, but there's really no substitute for it. I got started by doing rewrites - browsing Category:Rewrite (you could also look at UN:IDEA). So you could find an article that you think has a good idea but needs work, and have at it! There are some good starting points in there, and maybe some of the ideas you find will spark your creativity.
- Also, have a good look at HTBFANJS - many of our best writers refer to it regularly, it does contain some useful tips.
- Also also, some of the guys who posted on your talk page may be willing to collaborate with you on an article - discuss ideas, write together, that kind of thing. It can be fun, and you can learn a lot.
- Finally, don't worry about having a bad education - not all of our writers are great at spelling and grammar, that's why we have the proof-reading service. Some writers with a whole bunch of features actually spell worse than my 11 year old nephew! So don't worry, there are plenty of ways to get the hang of writing without borrowing ideas from other sites. Put yourself out there, and see what happens. I suspect there are some good ideas inside you, so see if you can't find a way to let them out! Good luck... --UU - natter 15:52, Aug 11
- Cool. See, we all love you. I'd be glad to do a collab with you if you'd like, and maybe Happymonkey can join in. And I can spell worth a dime! Al 23:45 11 8
MC Shakespeare
Your Romeo and Juliet rap uses the same lyrics as the song by Dire Straits. Unless you are planning to do an audio version of this, I don't see this working as an article as it currently stands Gomphog. I am guessing the lyrics for Macbeth come from a similar source. If users want to write articles like this, normally it is best to park them on your user pages first. Also - and I am not - expert - the lyrics don't read like a rap anyway. Suggest you give them the Eminem treatment as well to make a difference. Just a suggestion. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 17:53, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
- A similar source such as this. Yeah, what he said. Sir MacMania GUN—[21:47 12 Aug 2010]
- And until you changed it from the version from its creation up until 13:51 today, the lyrics of a 1992 rap song. Aleister 22:09 12 8
OKay, all natural collab
Wanna try again? I'll join in if you write something without borrowing anything from anywhere at anytime. Just write, one word after another. Old timey writer Ray Bradbury says the best way to write is just like jumping off a cliff. Don't think, just start to type, keep on typing, and then read it later. So start up a page, and maybe you want to do it alone because it will make you feel good when it starts to shape up. When I do my pages I usually go back over and over and over again, editing and polishing. Then someone will review it and then back to more polishing. Iz how it's done, at least one way it's done. And do you realize how good you're going to feel when you write some good stuff all by yourself (no borrowing) and other people think it's good! That will happen. Just flow with it. Aleister 23:56 12 8
Save you lots of time
Saw my talk page and fixed it to how I had it. Bad Gomphog. But you don't have to push "edit" on top to add a comment, there is an "edit" button on the right of each individual section on the talk page. Just go to the section you want and edit. If you want to start a new section you push the last section's edit button and then add another section under it. WHOOLA lots and lots of time saved, especially on people with loooonnngggggg talk-at's-you pages. Al 20:58 13 8
Gomphogotry
I just had impulse to do this; wanna talk anyone? What about music, I like death metal, classical music and more... Gomphog 14:41, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
- I suggest you try writing an article: Death Classical or Metal Mozart - just a few ideas to think about. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 15:43, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you, I just had a idea, I could start a progressive death metal band with neo-classical compositions. err, but the problem is no children I know can appreciate classical music or death metal... anyway, what should be my lyrical themes?

- Er...well Gomphog you do have a bit of strange approach to writing here. Who wants to vote in a poll for an article that right now doesn't exist? Perhaps you are being a bit over ambitious here. What's wrong with MC Shakespeare??--RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 21:48, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Bob
Suit yourself with how you go about it, but I've gotta warn you, most memes with little scope or basis in reality get demolished around here. I'm gonna continue on a Bob (disambiguation) page, and if you're bob article is still standing, I'll be sure to link. --Matfen 19:35, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
Spam... but you don't care, do you?
Congrats, Gomphog! You happen to have won some Spam! Why? Hmp, I don't know. But it's still yours... so enjoy!
Bobby!
You requested I review Bob, and I couldn't refuse. Here is the review.-- 09:10, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you. Gomphog 09:27, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
Protip
You don't get to blank articles just because you find them offensive or otherwise don't like them. You put them on VFD and everyone makes a decision. I'm going to be nice and not ban you for that, but don't do it again... and do bear in mind that I fought your corner already; TKF was going to keep you banned for a month, I reduced it to a day. -- Prof. Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur.

I like your gumption, that you keep on coming back after all that's gone down, and hopefully you are on a nice learning curve here. Yay! Good to see ya. Aleister 15:06 8 9

Copycat?
Gompy. Are you any relation to Copycat? If so, please don't do that again can you?? If not, then ignore this message but I am bit like Elvis Presley right now. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:49, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
User boxes
'lo. Saw your note, and I don't mind communicating at all. My time is limited these days, and so the comm lag will be long at times. I don't use user boxes, and don't have a lot of experience with them or setting them up. There's one on my page, but that was given me by Miley soon after I got here. So can't help with that. How are your articles going? I haven't read Bob for awhile, will look at it within the next day or two. Keep 'em coming. Aleister 23:31 9 9
- Gompy has got banned again! - two months with bread and water this time. I think by then Bob will be digital mush. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 12:02, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
You are unbanned
So you better start using your main account. One more sock and I'm shutting down this account for good. ~ 13:47, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think he knows it yet, I'll put a temporary note on Bob, which he visits reguarly. Aleisteer 15:07 4 10
- He's also over an Illogicopedia. I will drop him a note there too. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 15:38, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
Cookie and stuff
Aleister in Chains has awarded you a cookie! Now go play in traffic. |
For getting unbanned and coming back strong.
An idea though, you may want to put Disney onto a user page and store it there. You can still list it on your user page and all, with a link format so the viewer doesn't have to see it's a user page. If I remembers correctly a similar page was huffed once or twice, and admin's really hate when you put up a page that they huffed. That is all. Aleister 13:26 9 10
- Thanks for the cookie, intresting, I think I will do that, once they da'boom it. --Gomphog 13:28, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
Congratulations, it's been a few days and you haven't been banned yet. A new record! Keep it up and you'll have the keys to the kingdom! Aleister 11:26 10 10
Just a little thing...
If you're making a ton of smallish edits to things like your own user page, it might be worth considering the idea of exercising the usage of the "minor edit" button. It makes it easier for us grumpy old people to red our morning RC... If you've noticed I left this here, I'll probably be really pleased with myself. Khanxhugzbai! -- DameViktoria 17:25, 14 Oct
If I'm going to see another ChiefJustice facts page
I'm going to start getting angry. ~ 06:11, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, noes... --Gomphog 11:15, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
And here is another one month ban for your enjoyment
Based on This. I've had enough with you Gomphog. If you create a single sockpuppet or break this ban in any shape or form, this account will be shut down permanetly and I'll be sure to delete everything you try to add to the site. ~ 12:05, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
