Changed the image on Deal with the Devil without discussion. To JAFAAC no less. In spite of the comment saying to use image pickin.

Also changed the image on Parrying Bullets. I made an IP for that, as there was no comment on the page regarding the image selection.

Yeah, and the new one's caption doesn't make sense either. "Behind this cutesy facade is a VERY Broken Aesop and insane difficulty."

Also added complaininy natter to Teen Titans Go!. Grammar sucks too.

Pretty much every edit I've looked at has had problems.

More natter on The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard.

Gotta say, the idea of using random tropers as page quotes strikes me as gauche at best and really bad form.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

I've cleaned up all hist edits from Jan 1 onwards. He's been active for months, so there's probably a lot more cleanup to do.

Sent a grammar notifier based on his addition to Pokémon Shuffle.

I do agree with Larkmarn here.

Well we can take up a new quote on the forum. But that other one was not appropriate for the page.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

He changed the page image on Mind over Matter this morning. I made an IP thread regarding that.

He also posted a badly formatted example to the Simpsons meme page. I fixed the indentation and sent him a notifier for indentation.

Given that he ignored my previous notifier about changing images without IP threads, I think it is safe to say that he has no intention of responding to further messages.

"He changed the page image on Mind over Matter this morning. I made an IP thread regarding that. "

I put it back. You don't need the forums to revert an invalid change (at least once, after that you come here to report an edit war). The IP forums are for wanting a change in the first place.

^ There's a specific category for IP that's "Image changed without discussion"

if you read the description in IP, it's for images that MIGHT be a good or better fit than the one before, if it's changed to one that most would consider worse (especially JAFAAC) it can just be reverted.

I agree with Larkmarn that we should use external sources for page quotes, but I don't think the replacement here is good, either. For one thing, it's too long.

" if it's changed to one that most would consider worse (especially JAFAAC) it can just be reverted. "

Then I hope we can agree it was worse. It's just a face, trippy background, and a caption.
