message: The graph of pirates vs global warming has disappeared, apparently deleted... anyone know why? mattbuck 22:18, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: the commons deletion log for this image has an edit summary of "no permission", presumably like most of the other images of it that can be found on google image search, it had www.venganza.org on the bottom right.--Alf melmac 22:34, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You know, deleting an image simply because it shows up on google seems a bit stupid to me... But oh well. We need a replacement, as it's one of the central aspects of the theology. mattbuck 23:19, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm going to ask for an undelete - the graph is from the Open Letter, which I think is either public domain or very liberal permissions. --h2g2bob 00:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's noncommercial use only.. I'll upload to Wikipedia with a fair use rationale. --h2g2bob 00:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pirates chart 

message: I have added this, with assistance from a colleague, mainly because if you start to explore a parody or satire you see links and proofs everywhere. They then become part of the parody itself.--Edmund Patrick 13:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The very definition of original research. Off it goes again. If you want to explore the deeper meanings of a made-up religion, feel free to do so on, say, Uncyclopedia. Chris Cunningham 15:04, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dead link 

message: I stumbled on this page, and began reading. I immediately thought, "What is this, an Uncyclopedia article?" Seriously, if anyone copied the entire page and put it on the Uncyclopedia, it would be fit in perfectly. -4.225.189.24 22:43, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, it is a bit ridiculous. But that's the problem. Take Shelley the Republican - is that fake or the real thing? It might be satire, but it's not beyond the realm of believability. mattbuck 22:59, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The intro clearly states that the religion is a parody and places it in context. This is a non-issue. Chris Cunningham 08:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Doesn't mean he's wrong. I agree it's not really an issue though. mattbuck 11:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Doesn't mean it is non notable.  If you require other sources, then mayhaps one could cite the book published by Random House. And (HHOS) maybe you proposing double standards and expressing fake outrage to articles you disagree with is the actual insult to Wikipedia.--Shadowdrak 09:25, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The venganza website is probably notable.  The spaghetti monster is notable only as a feature of Bobby Henderson's commentary on the Kansas BoE.  This article should be deleted and/or merged into a page about Bobby.  But this FSM thing is cute and people like to have a whole page devoted to it.  Oh yeah, I don't have a double standard WRT this page.  My position has been consistent now for quite some time.  I also am a LONG ways away from "outrage" but thanks for your concern about my emotional state.MikeURL 16:28, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What the... 

message: I have restored the Pastafarian doctrine of hell, which was removed as "irrelevant vandalism." It is not. Quotation from "The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster," p.83:
 Q. If there's a Beer Volcano and a Stripper Factory in heaven, 
     what's FSM Hell like?
 A. We're not entirely certain, but we imagine it's similar to FSM 
    Heaven, only the beer is stale and the strippers have venereal diseases. 
    Not unlike Las Vegas.
oops, forgot to sign

replies: text: You claimed (on my Talk page) that I'd made that removal. I don't recall seeing that quotation, or removing it. It would help when making a remark like that to give a reference so that I (or whoever you're addressing) can see what you're referring to. For example you could say "the edit you made". (There may be a way to reference the change without using an external link back to WP - maybe someone can suggest how?) --John Stumbles 16:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You did. here. For what it's worth, you were perfectly justified in removing it at the time. Chris Cunningham 17:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  OK thanks for the diff link. And thanks Hypnopomp for restoring the quote with the reference that shows it's genuine: when I first saw it I just thought someone's larking around putting in their own view of FSM hell. --John Stumbles 13:32, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a great example, by the way, of why cross-pollination of self-published sources used on a related subject eventually lead to an article that is absurd and not encyclopedic.MikeURL 14:49, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
