Userpage

Just dropping a note to say I love your userpage, you have a good list of the parasites! It seems though you're missing the ninth puppet President of the United States. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 21:56, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much :D.I am currently making a new separate list,because the first one is entirely based on Committee of 300 members by John Coleman and I do think some evil doers certainly belong on the list.Feel free to add suggestions,the second list mostly consists of NWO puppets from around the world ;) --Killuminator (talk) 22:55, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Merkel, Schulz and Monti are some more evil doers ;) I had my own little list of the parasite "elite" at the bottom of this page. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 20:57, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

They will join the list very soon.I see most of them are from the European Union.The recent regimes of Spain and Greece will also join the list.Just keep them coming,I have an ambitious project to list all the villains of the New World Order.The main criteria is they have to be alive :) Killuminator (talk) 14:24, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

I was in conversation with someone and couldn't remember the name of a slimeball, then remembered your list! Nice to see it progressing! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 20:31, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

"Dominica exiles"

Re: your edit here, categories for people from Dominica take the form of Category:Dominica people rather than using the adjectival form of "Dominican", to avoid confusion with people from the Dominican Republic. Cheers, postdlf (talk) 19:33, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

NWO

Hello! Yes, off the top of my head Alex Salmond comes to mind, he is for sure a NWO stooge, certainly working for the European Commission. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 17:31, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't mind Scotland getting independence, I'm all for self-determination, but he wants independence from the UK to only be fully controlled by the EU... certainly a stooge! Do you have John Prescott on your list? Howzat?Out!Out!Out ko! (talk) 21:57, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

NWO

Hello again! Hope you don't mind, but I've added three names to the NWO list. One of them, Catherine Bearder, I confronted as part of some work for prisonplanet.com and questioned her on why she supports the illegal coup in Ukraine - she ignored me but her silence and attitude convinced me enough she too is a NWO stooge. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 10:07, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

It's been an interesting last year or so with more and more stooges crawling out of the woodwork! These Ukrainian US/EU/IMF puppets are simply the lowest of the low, of course the media doesn't report they are equally as fascist as another stooge! "That Belgian freak" is the best way to describe him, what an odd looking character he is. A caricature of a sex offender! I've heard that that undemocratic fascist Schulz is going to replace Barroso as the President (who oddly enough I don't remember electing...). Interestingly Schulz was paid £600,000 to whatever he was doing as parliament president over two years. Hopefully their time will come to put out to grass. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 21:28, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Oh that comparison was fantastic! It's looking good here in the UK (not sure where you're based) that the "Liberal" "Democrats" will lose most if not all their seats in the EU "parliament" which will be fantastic, that will be a few more stooges kicked firmly in the rear. However, as you pointed out they'll only be recycled. There is an awakening across Europe, they can dismiss it as "protest votes" but I am hopeful the facade is coming off. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 21:54, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

They are like a mafia, they operate in the same manner; creating laws to suit themselves, taking money from the people in the form of taxes and living an indulgent lifestyle while the rest of us mere mortals crawl around for the crumbs. The levels of bureaucracy they create to tie themselves in their positions of power is beyond belief, yet their corruption and deceit stares everyone of us in the face!!!! I see my country isn't the only one with absurd amount of levels on the power pyramid. Of course we have the Royal Family, a bunch of Germans (the name House of Windsor is am I'm sure you are aware a pre-WWI invention, then we have the UK Parliament, which does very little and is full of rich people who went to schools like Eton, then went to Oxford or Cambridge Universities, then became researchers for the three stooge parties here, before being given safe seats to be elected to. Then they were free to defraud the public with their expenses and brandish anyone who stands against them as "racists, xenophobes, bigots". The reason they do very little is the EU makes 70%+ of UK laws , essentially leaving 650 mostly corrupt UK MP's rather bored. The counties in this country used to be fairly well governed going back to the 1970s . Then before UK ascension to the EU the 1972 Local Government Act was passed which turned these once well run and quite autonomous county councils (there were 39 I believe) into monstrous centralised bureaucracies, detached from the people and increasingly corrupt. All of our elites are related in some way too, Cameron and the Queen are related as cousins I do believe. The god syndrome these people have is breathtaking in its arrogance and contempt for the people. What they decide is benevolent and how dare we little people say no! Pride comes before a fall as the saying goes! These morally corrupt individuals don't want to reform the very system they have created and which serves them so very well. We can just hope their house of cards comes tumbling down! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 22:41, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Our senile old Queen is Bilderberg through and through, along with her strange Danish husband. I can quite imagine them at their extravagant feasts fantasizing about what devious evil they have in mind for the slaves. Most people in this country believe the Queen is a kindly old lady (including the party I support), so unfortunately the people are unaware of what they are really like, from their blood soaked history to Prince Charles having a servant who wiped his arse! Our House of Lord's is a devious construct, deliberately there to stop legislation passing (conveniently so the House of Commons can blame them for blocking it, when really both Houses collude to do so). The Lord's and Lady's in the House of Lord's are equally as corrupt and came from a hereditary system of corruption going back in some cases centuries. All the royalty and elites of Europe are thoroughly inbred. I like to liken WWI to a family squabble, one which sadly cost millions their lives and property. They have plenty of skeletons that's for sure. Princess Diana was killed almost certainly by orders of the Old Dear, so Charles could marry his witch. That's been covered up, despite clear links to MI5. Should we mention that Prince Harry is quite obviously the son of James Hewitt... of course that's been covered up too and no doubt Harry has been told to shut up or suffer the same fate as Diana. Down with the elites! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 23:49, 25 May 2014 (UTC) ....

Ah yes! I've tracked the IP down to Carmarthenshire in Wales, which can only mean it's the one and only User:Richard Daft, a long time fan of mine. Apart from being obsessed with me, he is a Labour or Liberal Democrats voter, so is a big fan of the NWO and the parasites who think they rule us. I've opened up a sockpuppet report here. This guy has literally been hating on me for the last four years, perhaps he's the twin of someone who has the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of low grade bank clerk? Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 19:34, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Racist ignorant and fascist all in all disgusting boy
^^^^Yes, you are correct. The stooges of the NWO are all "racist ignorant and fascist all in all disgusting", as a fan of the parasites I guess that makes you a "racist ignorant and fascist all in all disgusting boy"? Killuminator, I think we most certainly did diss the Welsh mascot, the black widower, the hand-shaker of tyrants. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 21:09, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to the world today, where being a yellow bellied coward, f**king over your fellow countrymen for personal gain makes you an "iron lady". I suppose it doesn't matter who replaces Stitch as Mafia President, the agenda is the same no matter who in that cradle of democracy (as Stitch once described it) becomes "President". The Kinnocks used to be eurosceptics; that was of course until they realised the riches, the chauffeur driven Mercedes and the caviar. I believe the term is "champagne socialists"!!! I look forward to the Presidential election... ohhhhh wait! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 22:06, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Haha isn't he just! It's been four years of constant trolling, although being an anti-elitist libertarian somehow makes me a "neo-nazi"... lol. I see Al-CIA-da has advanced through Iraq, raising oil prices and which could "kill global economic recovery" (what recovery?). Seems the robber barons are manipulating the global economy yet again using the CIAs favourite play thing! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 16:47, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

I guess just as anyone who opposes Communism is a "reactionary"... come on, got to do better than that! It was 70 years last Friday that my grandfather was on Sword Beach with the 3rd Infantry, I'm quite sure he didn't fight Shitler for Europe be ruled by the technocrat tyrants we have today. I'll make a copy of the list, it's too good to vanish from existence! England are managed by some form of rare owl, so we won't be winning anything! Spain possibly... Howzat?Out!Out!Out!

Japanese Imperial Family

Hello. A user moved the pages of the Japanese Imperial Family without any discussion. As an administrator he should know that it was better to a start a discussion on the talk page. His reason for changing the titles was the official website of Imperial Household Agency, because it refers to them like this: HIH Prince/ss X. Well on Wikipedia the royal family members' articles are titled like this: "Name, Prince of X". British royal family's website also refers to them by their titles like HRH The Prince of Wales but on Wikipedia his article's title is Charles, Prince of Wales. Most of the articles of royal families are titled like this, so it is a kind of rule. Even Japanese Wikipedia includes the names of their royals on its articles' titles. I left a similar message on his talk page, but he hasn't been online for a while. I'm going to give a move request. Please support the move for changing the articles' names again.

Twentieth Amendment

Is it too much to ask to wait for less than half an hour before the members of the 116th Congress's terms expire? There is no deadline and changing it early is simply inaccurate. Sdrqaz (talk) 16:48, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

DNA Doe Project

I'm not sure what the problem is with just stating what the sources say. The difference to me seems quite clear, as John Clinton Doe and Pillar Point Doe's pages both explicitly denote that the identifications are "tentative". Jackson 1978 says "Identified – pending announcement", nothing at all about the identification itself being "tentative". Connormah (talk) 00:31, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Ukrainian toponyms

You may nominate the articles and/or categories relating to Ukrainian toponyms like Dnipro or Lviv for renaming discussions, through the proper processes for that, if you feel strongly enough that they should be at different names than they are. However, until they are renamed through the proper processes it is not your prerogative to go around changing links or categories to alternative spellings that aren't where the article or category is actually located, and thus cause them to become red links to nowhere instead of blue links to the names that the articles and categories are actually at.

For example, you cannot change "Lviv" to "Lvov" in a category that's actually located at "Lviv" rather than "Lvov", or "Dnipro" to "Dnepr" in a category that's actually located at "Dnipro", because using a variant spelling that isn't where the category is actually located causes the category to become a red link — but redlinked categories are forbidden, so articles cannot be left filed in redlinked categories.

Again, there are processes you can follow to get content moved to new names if you feel strongly enough that new names are necessary, but until the content is moved to new names you must use the names that the content is actually at regardless of whether you think they're "right" or "wrong". Bearcat (talk) 13:57, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

What are you talking about? Killuminator (talk) 13:59, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm talking things like this, which is causing redlinks because the articles and categories aren't at the spellings you're changing them to. You can nominate the articles and categories for renaming to new names if you feel strongly that renamings are necessary, but until the articles and categories are renamed you must use the names that the articles and categories actually have. Bearcat (talk) 14:10, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm not changing them. I don't know what's causing this. Check your talk page. Killuminator (talk) 14:11, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

If you're not changing those things, then why is your edit absolutely filled with those things being changed by you? In the diff I linked above, every single thing that's highlighted yellow on the left and blue on the right is a word that was changed by you in that edit. Bearcat (talk) 14:12, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
