Talk:Cereal

Add milk and discuss? I am curious to know what this anti-wikipedia admininstration story has to do with cereal Llwy-ar-lawr. Am I missing something very important? Sugar perhaps?? --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 14:32, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

I wrote this many months ago when I was in a dispute with Spike on Wikipedia and I was struggling to figure out how to resolve it, or rather what venue to take it to. I'd had an idea like this many months before--I was trying to think of a funny concept, and I randomly thought up the idea that cereal was made from banned Wikipedia users--so when I was involved with the dispute resolution stuff, I guess my imagination just started running wild. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 20:55 15 September 2014

Hmmm, a strange connection. Illogicopedial.--RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 21:01, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

If that is really what this page is about (if the reader could decode it), you ought to QVFD it as vanity — or just revert it back to the redirect. Spıke Ѧ 00:05 16-Sep-14

Ah, nuts, I shouldn't have said anything. No, it's not at all about that; it's only distantly related because it's about dispute resolution and such in general, but not any particular incident. I should not have brought your name into this, it just gave totally the wrong impression. Sorry. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 00:30 16 September 2014

Ignoring for a moment the fact that dispute resolution is not something you found yourself enmeshed in, but something you and your buddies invoked to silence me in a Wikipedia debate concerning this website, the problem is not the impression you gave; the problem is still that placing this portion of your diary in the main encyclopedia gives the reader nothing but perplexment. I'm reverting it to a redirect. Spıke Ѧ 17:22 16-Sep-14

The article I wrote is about the fictional practice among Wikipedia administrators of making banned and/or blocked editors into cereal. It is told from the point of view of an admin who dislikes this practice and wants to tell the world about it, but who also happens to be a little crazy. It does not mention any specific incidents, and it is not about any specific incident or about you or me. It's not my best work, but I clearly failed to accurately convey what it was about.

I am sorry for what happened on Wikipedia. I won't speculate on the motives of those involved, but I certainly regret being one of them. I'd like to bury that episode now; I know I brought it up, and I shouldn't have. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 19:27 16 September 2014

Since I was the one that brought this up in the first place..can we all can this now? I prefer Rice Krispies.--RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 20:02, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

If my article isn't allowed to stand, I'd like to see the deleted version by THE brought back. It was a casualty of Forest Fire Week, which we have since decided isn't such a good idea. Look for THE's last edit; a lot of garbage from random editors was added later. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 21:37 16 September 2014

This should be moved into your user space so that the other article can be brought back and re-edited to remove the junk. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 08:07, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

I could do that, but it's not strictly necessary because we can just find the revisions we want in the history once it's restored. The current page isn't blocking anything. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 13:14 17 September 2014

Don't they have the same name? Does one overwrite the other?? --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 16:06, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

Not really. The current history is merged with the old history. You'll see the current history and then the older revisions down below it. I can get it sorted if someone will just restore everything. Don't worry. I miss the days when I could do this myself. *sigh* ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 18:09 17 September 2014

Restored. All yours. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 20:16, September 17, 2014 (UTC)
