A message from a valued co-editor and friend.
Hallo, dear old Carptrash. Still insisting on behaving like a human rather than a wikipedian?

I just resurrected
this old section of my user page, the so called "23 (sometimes 27) words and phrases" .
I have a list of words or phrases that, to me, when i hear them, or say them, typically mean, "in my opinion."
- "Everybody who isn't a paid whore can see" (a great new one from a wikipedia discussion)
- the fact is
- the truth is
- in reality
- in theory
- obviously
- in the final analysis
- I know
- everyone knows
- most people say
- common sense will tell you
- always, or "never" for that matter
- actually
- it's indisputable
- everyone agrees
- of course
- There can be no doubt that...
- Indubitably,...
- I think we can agree that...
- clearly
- pure and simple
- without a doubt
- correct me if I'm wrong
- period
- only, somewhat and a bunch of other qualifiers
- normal
- certainly
- strictly speaking
- it can't be argued
- unquestionably
- according to unbiased observers,
- tell it like it is
- for sure, I'm sure, any sure
- in the real world
- the undisputed truth
- or just "undisputed"
- what are you talking about?
- it is said
- you must agree that
- seemingly
- apparently
- supposedly
- naturally
- typically
- most words with ‘ly’ on the end
- appropriate
- in any case
- No one disputes
- exactly
- "the energy of that (or her or him) is..."
- it's been proven
- It seems appropriate
- but at the end of the day . . .....
- seems reasonable
- "anyone with half a brain knows..."
Feel free to add more
Who am I?
- Carp:
- verb (used without object)
- 1.
- to find fault or complain querulously or unreasonably; be niggling in criticizing; cavil:
- to carp at minor errors.
- noun
- 2.
- a peevish complaint.
- And if you don’t know “trash” you probably won’t do very well on English wikipedia.
There is another longer and more complicated explanation involving a several step process getting there from another internet name, “carpe mañana” to carptrash. But that’s for another day.
A "conversation" with wikipedia
I'd like to thank the Wikipedia Foundation for their recognition of my editing efforts. Although the process was not seamless I have long come to understand that there are speed bumps on the road of life and if I hit them wrong it can create a bit of a jarring effect.
Next
I have declared all my edits to be a diabolic mixture of opinion and original research. Just so that I can't be accused of doing this anonymously, the names I've used while posting pictures are EEK, eek, Einar Einarson Kvaran and probably a few more variations on this.
However, I am now amending this stance to state that all of my edits are carefully and thoroughly researched and if the documentation seems to be missing it is just because some vandal probably removed it.
I feel that I am likely in the top one million editors in both number of edits and number of articles created. However I am much more proud to include myself in the Top 100 Monkeys.
And further more
I just discovered that my 5th anniversary (July 2009) on wikipedia just passed. Life is supposed to be interesting.
I also just discovered some links at the bottom of my user page that informed me that I've done over 10,000 edits and created 139 articles. Life goes on.
And I can now update this to my 10th year here and 20,000 edits. I think.
And I just love it when
as happened today, [1] an editor corrects a spelling mistake that I made something like 5 years ago. It's a real feel good place.

Sources
Since the local library is very small and there are not any nearby bigger ones, most of the sources and references that i use are from my own collection, the carpchives or the eeekchives (depending on my mood). I recently started cataloging my books on librarything and decided that I'd post a link here after I had 1,000 titles entered. .............. Sometime later, and still plodding along, I am now, I believe, over 2,000 titles and still entering. I also received a nice award at Library Thing (where this link goes) for uploading a bunch, maybe 500? of covers images. Anyway, here is my library. [5]. With many more, I believe, to follow.
Thanks for your photo
your photo of Utah Phillips at the haymarket remembered gathering in 1986. I've included it to replace one of the lost graphics in the book mob action against the state. If you want me to send you a digital copy, get in touch. Brian.

from the past
Earlier Once again I sort of feel my life sort of sucked out of me by . . . a bunch of wikipedia related things. Do folks really believe that some one is going to come flying out of the woodwork and object to File:ER Kvaran Sri Lanka, mid 1950s.jpg or File:Matt_Gordon,_Flying_Tiger_c._1943.jpg. a picture that a high school friend ("He was never my 'boyfriend!'") gave my mother shortly before he died in WWII? Yet the letter of the law must be obeyed. Ands so it shall, I am sure.
A few old pictures discovered during the Great Photo Copyright Event
-
A picture recently tossed out of the Industrial Workers of the World article
-
The "not notable" memorial to Warren Zevon
-
Image found at Commons in the "Rock bands in the United States" (or something) category. Looks like the Pathetics from Dixon, New Mexico]]
-
Prime Minister George Cadle Price and a Peace Corps volunteer, Belize, 1976
Pictures from my failed attempt to create a Phallic architecture article
Einar, don't forget the Ypsi water tower
- And by an odd "coincidence" (is there really such a thing?) the picture used in wikipedia for the Ypsilanti Water Tower was already mine.
Perhaps we need to start an article called
Statues to NOT visit on a first date, unless . . ..... Statues TO visit on a first date?
And while this might seem like both original research and opinion, what the heck. Carptrash (talk) 23:48, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Pictures about to be deleted Sept. 2011
I need a place to stash this for a while.

Have to say, that's an edit war I'm not getting into, because the potential resolutions aren't that enlightening. I mean, if they're going to squabble, squabble over something with stakes. Hey, by the way, did you see the work at architectural sculpture? Care to jump in? --Lockley (talk) 17:43, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for attempting to bolster, and for rescuing this article. My hope was to start it and let others flesh it out. I was astonished when it was deleted twice in less than an hour. I very much appreciate your kindness. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 03:23, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

I 'll find this in this link: http://hooksanalysis.wordpress.com/tag/the-small-faces/
“Whole Lotta Love” bears little resemblance to “You Need Love” as recorded in 1962 by Muddy Waters and owned by Willie Dixon (now by his estate). The track is, however, closely related to The Small Faces’ 1966 song “You Need Loving” (which is based on the same Muddy Waters track that was owned by Willie Dixon). Same story by the song Venus of Shocking Blue which stil gives Robbie van Leeuwen as composer, but it's a revision of "The Banjo Song by The Big 3. But that song has its orgins in the old song "Oh Sussana" written by Stephen Foster. See this wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Lotta_Love
