Who turned out the lights! MrN  Fork you! 17:28, Apr 25

Sorry a bit of misfiling. My answer was yes as regards the janitorial idea for Frosty or someone in a similar situation as regards ED. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 20:45, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Ah cool. Here tis. Anyway, I will drop a note on his talk page, so that he knows how you feel about this. Thanks. MrN  Fork you! 21:02, Apr 25

Hey, why did you huff my mathematica page? Was it because it was too short, or was there something else? And can I get my work back, or did you obliterate it forever? --Heyitsxavier (talk) 04:31, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

Somebody got rid of all my fuck :(. I filled the page "Vandalism/Example On Wheels!" With really big f bombs, and somebody tok away my fuck! --BieberAxeKiller (talk) 20:08, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know what you're doing, not sure you know either. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 20:55, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

He's talking about how he spammed Vandalism/example on wheels! with the word fuck and a bundle of <big> tags. It was then undone by me, with a comment on there to explain that it wasn't funny. Of course, funny is a relative term, and when I was 8 I probably would have found it hi-sterical, but now I'm old and jaded.

Someone please shoot his fuck up. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Thu, Apr 26 '12 0:56 (UTC)

Oh now I understand. I thought that was one of his own pages. I know the page says vandalism all over it but it has to be funny and that was, well, lame. A timely warning required for BAK. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:33, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, vandalism has to be funny now, i.e. 92 vandal (I'm very tempted to nom him WotM). Anyway, I came by to say I read your Olympus page again, and it's very very good. I'm a sucker for historical satire, so I for two am glad you're around. And it's humourous how History of GB isn't a feature yet, seriously, I'm lol as I type. Good work all around. I wish more ships would hit icebergs so you could write about them. Aleister 14:22 27-4-'12

Uncyclopedia can take a break from my own bout of 'Navalism'...but thanks for the comments Al. The Olympic article was an odd one since the person who started it thought they were on a sober alternative to wikipedia...anyways, a quick flick of the wheel (hard to port Captain Haddock) and the article steamed off in a different direction. I need to thank that Noob but he must have gone overboard...enough naval puns for now...--RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 14:44, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

What, no Maine? I remember it well. Tantra - an article Funnybony and I worked up, was originally left by a guy who probably thought he was on wikipedia. We should set some kind of trap on the internet somewhere for serious writers to come here, it seems to work out well. Aleister 14:48 27-4-'12

p.s. Oh, and thanks for the upload of that great witch pic, I just used it on Bipolar girl and lol as I put it there.

Good morning sir...

Collaboration?

Someone tagged History of Great Britain? That's crazy! Ah well, I suppose I'd better go and delete it. Anyway, I came here to ask if you'd be interested in adding to this? I know you're a history buff and I'm finding it a bit of a chore tackling it alone. I'd love to have you aboard. --Black Flamingo 16:09, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Flash Gordon and a Chinese Dynasty well known (at least here) for its vases. OK, I'll pop over. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 16:23, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

OK threw a few lines in there. I also linked to Flesh Gordon, a film that that was released before the 1980 movie Flash Gordon. I understand there are plans to remake Flash, but I would prefer Flesh as it featured they only obscene talking, stop-go animated figure in film history. A recommend if you haven't heard about it or seen it. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 17:36, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Nice work, Emperor. Keep it coming! --Black Flamingo 12:37, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not a racist, but...

Thank you for the kind words on I'm not a racist, but.... I'm not a racist, but I can't think of anything more that can be done with it. I worked out how to upload a photo for it that I think fits. Do you have any more suggestions? --C₂H₆O (hic) 11:51, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

I would extend the intro to set out the subject you want to address first. A couple of paragraphs, a note that people often repeat a cliche if it sounds good. In this particular one, I am reminded of things like You Don't have to be mad to work here but it helps if you are to I know you won't mind me saying that but. Then go onto this one in particular I'm not a racist but and then dissect it as you have done. The 'I am not a..but' line is used for a lot of other situations like I'm not a sexist but if my partner earns more money than me then women don't deserve equal pay.. or I'm no prude but when I posed for Playboy I did it for art and not profit and such like. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 15:14, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

I think I understand. Thanks. --C₂H₆O (hic) 15:45, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Does that work? --C₂H₆O (hic) 15:56, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Game

I've got a suggestion for a game you admins can play while I'm gone: "Wheel Wars"! Basically, what happens is starting at 2am UTC, you take turns banning and unbanning me, making up stupid reasons such as "vigilance" or "go eat shit fuckers". Luckily, nobody cares because I won't be active the entire time. But the game ends on Saturday when I get back. Thank you for your consideration. -- This has been an automated message by Cute Zekrom (talk) 22:16, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

What ever you say Qzzzz...by that time I am in the Land of Nod on my time zone. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 22:20, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

2 am is just the start time. You can join in at any time you want... or not join in at all. I've already notified other admins about it, so it should be a lot of fun. Just in case there aren't any... *yawn* vandals to take care of. -- This has been an automated message by Cute Zekrom (talk) 23:41, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Bipolar Girl cast into the depths

Hi. I saw you featured Bipolar Girl, but it disappeared and is gone (you tagged it as featured on May 1, which was when the Ipad page was featured, as well as Bhagadvad Gita. [1] see here for part of the problem]). Thanks for featuring it, somewhere (on the mirror uncy?). Could you look for it, and maybe put it back somewhere. Thanks! Aleister 3:12 2-5-'12

There was an edit conflict with Xamralco on the VFH featuring page. Your article is now on the queue for 3rd May. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:28, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! You found it. I'll tell all the bipolar girls I know not to look at the main page on May 3rd, which will get them all to look. On the other hand, I can tell them that they should look on May 10th, which will get them to look at May 3rd instead. It's a vicious circle(jerk). Thanks again. Aleister 11:59 2-4-'12

Blanking permit

How do you get one then? ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 06:39, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

World War II

According to rumour, historically you are a whore. I was wanting to put together a workshop to fix the article mentioned above. Do you have any advice for me? --C₂H₆O (hic) 00:56, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

I am? If you mean donating ideas, paragraphs, illustrations...yep, I guess that is right. Collab efforts are fine but my own view that it helps to have a core theme in an article to make sense of it. If that can be agreed upon, then a group of writers should be able to come up with a result. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:36, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

I was trying to move Complete History of the World to History of the world and vice versa. I got halfway through when wiki decided I was doing the wrong thing and killed my page move options.

Sir CPT Dr PuppyOnTheRadio GUN UmP WotM NotM FP VFP VFH CM POTM UGM 09:23 07 May

I found this Temp History of the_World. You want to create redirects to that one? --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 10:16, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

That one is what is supposed to be at History of the world. Don't worry about redirect from that location as nothing should link there, and the other links I think I have fixed. Sir CPT Dr PuppyOnTheRadio GUN UmP WotM NotM FP VFP VFH CM POTM UGM 10:21 07 May

Indeed a fan of Blackadder, Monty Python, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and others. Also a fan of this book Bored of the Rings, a timeless parody of Lord of the Rings and a title I will acknowledge as a source of some of my ideas. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 12:53, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

VFD images

Hi, I've been looking for unused images that are blatant copyright violations (that is, the uploader didn't provide a sufficient fair use rationale) to be posted to VFD. Anyway, I came across this image which claims to be a violation but can't be copyrighted in the first place because it's simple geometry. Do you think I should replace it with a "public domain" notice? -- This has been an automated message by Cute Zekrom (talk) 23:07, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Regards image copyright, Uncyclopedia will remove an image if the complainant can prove it is their image. So far, since I have been here, we have had only one instance of a photo being removed when a freelance photographer saw their image here. So, go ahead and use that image. The 'warning' is a joke btw. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 08:53, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

I for one waste little time on the rationale field, though if something I stole from Google Images was devised by government, I note in the text that "I paid for this." Otherwise I just punt and claim it was stolen, to be on the safe side. Correcting the rationale, or even adding useful information to the text on the source of the image, would be useful help, just like adding Categories. On the other hand, as Frosty said in VFD, something that's actually unused could be taken straight to QVFD. Spıke ¬ 12:32 12-May-12

Greetings!

Thought I'd let you know about a new feature we've got on recent changes, called "patrolled edits". If you do any cleanup on RC, patrolling can be a useful tool. Essentially, it "approves" edits by any users who are not in the auto-patrolled user group (IPs, newbies, etc). It makes it much easier for multiple people to sweep up, as they don't have to keep checking the same pages. You can read about it here. Also, if you'd like to patrol multiple edits at a time, or just patrol edits directly from RC, I've got a special javascript which I whipped up recently. You can use it by putting importScript( "User:Bizzeebeever/scripts/patrol.js" ) into either your uncyclopedia.js or monobook.js, depending on which theme you use.

If you already knew about it, then please disregard this message. Cheers. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sun, May 13 '12 23:45 (UTC)

Thanks BB. I will see if this works for me in Safari first. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:24, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Could you lock Forum:(Insert drama-inducing forum topic here)?

Even Bizzeever asked for it. Read the whole thing so you understand why, it's a very good one, but does not need any comments or such. Don't ask why I picked you for this heroic mission, you just happened the only admin who I thought first. (And I saw you in Recent Changes...) OMG!!!

Postman Pat

I have swapped the ICU you added for a fix tag due to the fact it is over 7 days old: I remember reading this "Don't you dare add this to pages over a week old. Or else." Anywho just letting you know :) ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 08:01, May 16, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Frosty. I was trying to get some response from the author as he (must be a he) has been advised that the article needs work and hasn't responded - except by blanking the talk page. Not a good sign, we'll see what happens next...--RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 11:54, May 16, 2012 (UTC)

Due Question

Can I get permission to put something --anything-- on RS's userpage? Since it's got nothing, I'd rather turn it blue now then wait for him to get to it. →A (Ruins) 19:44, May 18, 2012 (UTC) (PS, would just be making the userpage operational, e.g. "Creating the page")

I would leave it up to the user. It's their own space which they can do a lot of stuff on or close to nothing. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 19:49, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I'm cool with that. Thanks. →A (Ruins) 19:51, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

I've gotten into the UnScripts business

See also UnScripts:Hitler learns that Uncyclopedia has engaged in copyright infringement (not another Downfall parody!). -- Sir CuteGroudonOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0)] 19:24, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

Ok...why not just have Hitler banned from editing Uncyclopedia because he has uploaded a copyright problem picture and is blaming his own sock puppets for the mistake? He wanted to write great stories for the wikia. He has been banned from Wikipedia, even barred from Encyclopedia Dramatica for uploading a self portrait of him engaged in a gross act but they judge it as 'not original'. You could then use screen grabs of Downfall from You Tube to illustrate the story. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 20:25, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

On Xamralco's talk page

It was a joke!!! Don't tell me you believed it was true??? I said that since I had been a little stiff on my previous comment to the IP! You really believed it? I thought it would be obvious it was a joke, hey, how can someone have such an awful day? ROFL. Thanks for caring though, if you believed it :) Mattsnow 01:01, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

C'mon. Do you honestly believe that Mattsnow has a job, a wife, or can afford a car? That's just silly. -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 01:07, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Dude, he has a job. Those burly Quebecois lumberjacks don't sex themselves. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Mon, May 21 '12 4:11 (UTC)

I think Romartus shed a tear there lol. And yeah, the mere notion that I could have some kind of life is ridiculous! Mattsnow 04:16, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

It's not uncommon for people here to talk about themselves more personally so I took you at your word. Seemed plausible enough. If you had added 'and kidnapped by aliens', then I would have called up the Quebec police to send out a Missing Persons Search (or what ever phrase is in French). I am a caring, sharing admin and eat only vegan sausages for breakfast. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:15, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Hahaha, sorry for that, I feel like a troll! lol. I should have added that alien thing, now you'll never believe me... *sob* Mattsnow 06:47, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

I would like to bring your attention to this article

It's listed #1 on Special:LongPages. What should I do? (History of Great Britain is second.) -- Sir CuteGroudonOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0)] 23:21, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

What! An article longer than 'the epic'!! At least mine and Zarbag's has illustrations. I don't mind the tag on ours, you are correct and by doing that you have reminded me that the History of Great Britain is still not quite there as a finished work. As for Lost (TV series), that needs some TLC from someone to at least throw in some illustrations. I don't know if it is a parody as such as I didn't watch the show. There is a similar problem at Postman Pat, though I pretty sure all the episodes mentioned there are complete fabrications. In my view a good parody only works if it mirrors the original subject matter but in a crazy, almost impossible way. As I have mentioned elsewhere, one of best parodies I have read was Bored of the Rings. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:46, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Collab!

I noticed you're quite a great historian, I had started this: User:Mattsnow/World War II with a certain C2H6O, I made the whole infobox and intro, I was wondering if you'd like to collab with me on this since you are so good with history? That would be great, I think we never joined forces! I'm also under a bad "writer's stop" curse, so I think working with someone would definitely help! :) What say you? Mattsnow 01:12, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Check your change history! Romartus has already been in, right after me! Spıke ¬ 01:15 27-May-12

Yes, just saw it. Nice change from you too, Spike! I hope he'll be interested, feel free to add too, this article has to be massive, but we should respect the real history of it, and add the funny from there, which is where Romartus would be invaluable, since he disembarked in Normandy and killed a lot of Nazis (and friendly units, he was drinking a lot back then) :P Mattsnow 01:35, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

No laugh riot quite like killing a bunch of Nazis! The only further edit I considered was a concluding section on "Lasting effects of the war" with the same oh-what-a-lovely-war take as the intro. But maybe later; we'll see what Romartus does with the body of it. Spıke ¬ 01:51 27-May-12

Yeah I'll sure add more to it myself too. Mattsnow 02:28, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Matt. Since history was my 'major' and a general interest too, I tend to gravitate towards those subjects here. I have made a couple of changes. I am aware that the piece is written in a very partisan tone and so will use some Un-PC terms about other people. That's fine but I think it could be funny where the author is struggling to control his prejudices in an attempt to create a 'balanced' article about WW2. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 08:41, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Alright Romartus, just a thingymajiggybob about the feature queue, we tend to feature for the next day if there are less than 12 hours remaining in a day with no feature. It just means that the author gets their full day on the front page and we can remove articles from the queue without messing up the front page templates. That's just how we normally do it, if you want to do it differently then that's ok, I certainly won't be outside your house demanding an explanation, unless that would turn you'd like that, in which case I'll be there in half an hour. --Chiefjustice3DS 20:08, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

I'm starting a vote there. In case you're unfamiliar with the discussion, we were discussing changes to MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext, what you see when you try to edit a page that's been locked.

Can I move this to Why?:Become an atheist? -- Sir CuteGroudonOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0)] 20:48, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

It's not a Why? article? Also don't eyeball me again or I'll give ye a Possil smile.--Sycamore (Talk) 21:01, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

Er...yes..I concur. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 21:57, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

Manmohan Singh

On this and Sonia Gandhi, I'm working with the new guy--see my talk page. What's with 4 minutes of protection for Tetragrammaton? Anon, whom you banned for 1 day, seemed to have a problem with me changing {{Words}} so the Y-Word linked not to You but to Yahweh Tetragrammaton, and then had a problem with the template appearing at the end of Tetragrammaton at all. Spıke ¬ 19:33 14-Jun-12

I was split between protecting the article from anon editors or just giving a ban to the IP. I will cut it back to a couple of hours. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 19:36, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

As I said on BP (as an afterthought), maybe the guy doesn't know to check History and repeated his changes because he just didn't see why they didn't "take." I remember being at that stage once.

The Indian articles aren't rip-roaringly funny but we ought to have something on Sonia Gandhi (I don't know the other guy) and Singzulu is a decent writer. Spıke ¬ 19:42 14-Jun-12

OK I have knocked the ban down to two hours for the IP. The articles about Sonia Gandhi and Singh will need fleshing out as they look a bit barebones. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 19:47, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

Wasn't writing to plead for leniency for Anon, but that's fair. Meanwhile, Anooptcy, who kicked some factoids into Kerala, never returned, despite my encouragement, and I wound up finishing it. If Singzulu can take Sonia no further, I might, she being a P.M. and all; I don't care about the Singh guy. But Singzulu has started several articles in his week here. Spıke ¬ 03:14 15-Jun-12

RE:Andromeda

Yeah, sure, you can edit Andromeda all you want, as long as I get the polish the 'final draft', if you will. I did notice after I wrote my Greek thing that you had spent a considerable amoung of time on Medusa. -- Kip > Talk • Works • • 15:28, Jun. 16, 2012

I often do that, reworking and rewording an article that I have done. Since both Medusa and Andromeda cover part of the same story, I wanted to make sure my version was up to yours in quality and coherence. Regards Andromeda, it is pretty well finished in my view (I loved the Alabama marriage aside)...it was just how to tie up the art works to the main story. Perhaps extend some of the one line captions or a longer paragraph about 'Andromeda in art'..i.e. an excuse to paint some bondage scene for customers who want a spicy painting to look at in some private boudoir. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 20:09, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

It's done

Rate my new userpage, please. -- Sir CuteGroudonOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0)] 01:20, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you romartus. You guys need to update your noun, adjective, and verb templates to suit either this new windows 7 system or firefox 3.6, because when I put a bunch of them next to each other, they just repeat the same choice for every template after the first one. That's boring.

Don't forget to sign btw. Regards templates, you can make a forum at Village Dump and see what the other users think about your ideas. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 20:37, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

All you need to do is add "|1" into the template. Look at Randomness for an example of this. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 00:12, 18 June 2012

Zork: The Opera

Romartus, I really have to give you a big big thanks for taking the time to edit the article a bit. Your changes make the article a lot more clear, and they fit in perfectly with the tone and direction I wanted it to go in. Thanks again! --ShabiDOO 00:08, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Sonia Gandhi

This article's {{ICU}} ran out. Would you please userspace it to Singzulu? (Also Manmohan Singh rather than delete it if you come to the obvious conclusion.) Spıke ¬ 08:55 24-Jun-12

I could do but is he coming back? The Sonia Gandhi article was borderline abuse/random in its current state but I will restore it once he has made a proper user page. Same for Manmohan Singh. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 09:03, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, he asked for userspacing on my talk page. I'll make him a user page. Separately, I see on RecentChanges that User talk:Teamf1‎‎ has a request for improvements for Spenglish language‎‎, user's latest attempt to hump his personal meme Hermann Fegelein. I think the biggest immediate improvement would be userspacing. Spıke ¬ 10:00 24-Jun-12

I have tagged it with a 30 day improvement template but I disagree about user spacing it. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 10:35, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Valid. I post-edit you on Manmohan Singh, mostly for parallelism in the list. Spıke ¬ 10:40 24-Jun-12

...my god Romartus...

...you're such a dirty turd!!! --ShabiDOO 09:50, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Slings and arrows Shabi...slings and arrows...--RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 10:55, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Romartus...now that I have your attention (you dirty dirty turd). Tell me about Zork...what seemed missing...or over done...or blah about it? --ShabiDOO 11:02, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

I had thought Zork was Zadok but there is also a game (which I had to google to find out more). If Zadok, that would then link with Handel's composition Zadok the Priest. Am I in the right neighbourhood? That was what I had thought you were doing but wasn't so sure. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 11:59, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Lollipop started an article called Zork the Opera. I was inspired at that moment and wrote most of the article in half an hour. The idea was to have an opera that wouldn't explain who or what zork is, anything about the plot and maintain a sense of doom and mystery through out. I have totally NO idea who Zork is, in any medium. Maybe I should call it Norf Zog Kofloff: The Romantic-Comic-Fantasy-Opera-Seria in 13 and acts and Q Scenes. --ShabiDOO 17:22, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

So Zork as a name was random? An opportunity missed in my opinion. Still, to go back to your article. You could try the Quantum Theory of Music. That all music sounds exactly the same, depending how far you are standing from the music source. That is least my experience now. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:49, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Speaking of dirty turds

Everyone here should apply for a trademark on our usernames so that anyone who tries to name themselves "Romartus Is A Dirty Turd" would get banned for trademark infringement. I've already unofficially trademarked my name: Qzekrom™. -- Sir CuteGroudonOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0)] 21:39, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

I never quite know when you are pulling my leg Qzekrom...--RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:45, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

I might also add that has anyone heard of a clean turd? A contradiction perhaps?? --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:50, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

That's the best one I heard so far! (Not pulling your leg. On WP, it's basically illegal to have a username that resembles an IP address or someone else's username.) -- Sir CuteGroudonOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0)] 16:32, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

Can you trademark a pseudonym but without revealing your true identity? Don't think so. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 16:44, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

But wait little squirrels. Could you reveal your true identity without trademarking your pseudonym? Hmm? --ShabiDOO 18:31, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

Team Fortress 2

You had been patrolling this one. Its size has tripled today courtesy of day-old user Chaostitanium, and is making no progress in the direction of a theme or a humor strategy. Would you take a look and see if this guy needs to be instructed in How To Be Funny And etc.? Spıke ¬ 18:52 28-Jun-12
