Baby (Dragon Ball)

Is this character canon? Is Dragon Ball GT canon? Who decides what is and is not canon, anyway, and is it fact or opinion to say so? An eight-hour duel between two editors culminates in nearly one hundred assorted reverts, arguments posted in edit summaries, and both parties blocked for ignoring 3RR, which brings to mind the 30+-episode battles the series is famous for (with 5+ episodes being used to launch a single attack.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Estate

quote:

Notable events

My Little Pony: The Movie

The Little Ponies were left homeless when The Witches from the Volcano of Gloom buried Dream Castle with Smooze, a sentient ocean of purple lava. The Moochic created a new home for the Ponies, the Paradise Estate, in a part of Dream Valley the Smooze had not affected. The Witches soon unleashed a second wave of Smooze, which reached as far as the Estate, forcing the Little Ponies to climb to safety on the roof. A massive army of Flutter Ponies fought back with their Utter Flutter, forcing the Smooze back to the Volcano and dumping the witches in it. The Ponies remained in the Paradise Estaste, and the recovered Dream Castle was given to the Grundles, who'd earlier been made homeless by a Smooze attack.[citation needed]

The Ghost of Paradise Estate

The Little Ponies were driven out of their own home by what appeared to be a ghost - in truth, a shape-shifting bird named Pluma - who then utterly destroyed Paradise Estate. Phluma needed an amulet buried beneath Paradise Estate to pay ransom for her grandfather. After Phluma's grandfather was freed, the Ponies stole the amulet back and used it to restore Paradise Estate.[citation needed]

The Glass Princess

The entire Paradise Estate, and all the Ponies within, were turned to glass by the magical pig Porcina. She eventually regretted her actions and reversed the spell.[citation needed]

The Return of Tambelon

The city of Tambelon from the Realm of Darkness materialised in Dream Valley, as it did every five hundred years. Paradise Estate was invaded by Troggles, servants of the city's ruler Grogar. Grogar planned to abandon Tambelon after imprisoning the Ponies inside and allowing it to return to the Realm of Darkness. The Ponies escaped, and the city vanished with Grogar inside. The Troggles abandoned Paradise Estate and adopted a peaceful existence in Dream Valley.[citation needed]

The Magic Coins

Baby Lickety-Split was granted her rashly-made wish that it would never again rain. Without water, the Paradise Estate's gardens died, and the Ponies were left with nothing to fight a huge fire which spread through the grounds of the Estate. Just as the Ponies made preparations to abandon their home, the troll Niblic reversed the spell, summoning rain which extinguished the fire.[citation needed]

Woe Is Me

Paradise Estate was largely demolished by the arrival of Woebegone, a wandering hobo with a history of bad luck.[citation needed]

The Revolt of Paradise Estate

Frustrated at the difficulty of repairing the Estate, the Ponies accepted a can of magic paint, which not only instantly repaired the Estate, but brought it to life. The living furniture soon grew tired of the Ponies and threw them out, whereupon the wizard took over the Estate. When the Ponies and furniture fought back, he removed the spell, making the Estate lifeless again. He was driven away by his own wand which, receiving its own coat of paint, came to life and sought revenge.[citation needed]

David Graeber attempts to synthesize the insights of Karl Marx and Marcel Mauss. He sees value as a model for human "meaning-making". Starting with Marxist definitions of consumption and production, he introduces Mauss’s idea of "objects that are not consumed" and constructs a list of things that are neither consumption nor production. Graeber’s list includes those human activities that are not consumption, in the narrow sense of simply purchasing something, and are not production, in the sense of creating or modifying something intended for sale or exchange. It includes:

* cooking a meal
* extinguishing a fire
* dressing and undressing
* applying makeup
* watching television
* playing in a band
* falling in love
* reading
* listening to music
* going to a museum or gallery
* taking a photograph
* gardening
* writing
* conducting a coming of age ceremony
* going window shopping
* exercising
* acting
* turning around in a circle
* teaching
* having an argument
* playing games
* having sex
* attending a religious service
* looking at old photos

One of the worst things to come about from Wikipedia's push for strictly creative-commons content is the choice of what images to use on a celebrity's page. It's not as bad as it used to be now that iPhones can take photos comparable to digital cameras, but you still get poo poo like this.

As an example, here's an image from comedian Jim Breuer's Facebook page. It's a nice press photo taken last year. However, it's totally not a creative-commons image! There's no Wikipedian who can upload that image and go "I, SonOfHugeFarts, hereby release this image into the public domain~."

So, instead, Wikipedia's representative image of Jim Breuer is this piece of poo poo someone pulled off of flickr and cropped:

You're telling an Aspie to stop being obsessive? Do you have any idea what the syndrome entails and what the primary symptom is? :p That is all. Rogue 9 23:12, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

     Should I know? Should I assume that an editor has a serious neurological condition, and tread carefully around them? I'm sorry, but I refuse to stare at the wheelchair, if you get my meaning. -- Ec5618 23:40, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

         I don't expect or want you to stare at the wheelchair, particularly as I don't consider it a disability in the literal sense. FYI, two of the trademarks are obsessive-compulsive behavior and obsessive specialty on a certain subject to the point where the Aspergian knows that subject inside and out. The first part leads to what we saw here, which is a problem when displayed on Wikipedia. The second leads to brilliant article contributions in areas that are the Aspergian's obsessive specialty, which is indispensable. However, all this is ancillary to what I was pointing out, and I didn't even intend it as a criticism; I simply found it funny that Selina Kyle was being told to stop being obsessive on a topic that she's basically bound to be obsessed about, namely her own syndrome. Rogue 9 18:29, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

             I am not an established member of the Wikipedia community, so I won't comment on all the technical aspects of this page. However, as a neurotypical who lived with an Aspie for the first eighteen years of her life and currently plans on working with autistic children for a living, I will say that obsessive-compulsive behavior is not a symptom of AS, much less a hallmark of the syndrome. Yes, OCD and Aspergers are often comorbid, but that doesn't mean that the one is characteristic of the other. The claim that people with AS are by definition obsessive-compulsive reflects a serious misunderstanding of the differences between obsessive-compulsive disorder and the "restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped behaviors, interests, and activities" that are characteristic of Aspergers. People with AS are already vastly misunderstood, and when you misrepresent your disorder, you do them all a great disservice. I don't mean to be rude, I just want to encourage you to be more careful with your research in the future. Alt0dos (talk) 17:34, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
