Take me away from the hood like a state penitentiary.
Take me away from the hood in a casket or a Bentley.
Take me away like I overdosed on cocaine.
Or take me away like a bullet from Kurt Cobain.

Suicide, I'm from the Windy City, like Do or Die.
From a block close where Biggie was crucified.
That was Brooklyn's Jesus shot for no fuckin' reason.
And you wonder why Kanye wears Jesus pieces.

Dear Lord, you've done took so many of my people
But I'm just wonderin' why you haven't taken my life?
Like what the hell am I doing right?

[1], [2] – Out of curiosity, are you the unsuccessful ArbCom candidate mentioned in these diff's? --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 16:31, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No I have been saying for years that I have no sockpuppets or alternate accounts. I am an ardent fighter of sockpuppets which should be obvious by my track record.--NWA.Rep (talk) 00:51, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Your conversation with Sven at this section of the ACE RFC must end now. You must stop disrupting the discussion with a game of he said, she said. If you continue that discussion, I will block you from editing. AGK [•] 11:40, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So you're threatening me? Why don't you tell him to shut up instead of me? Look at the facts.--NWA.Rep (talk) 18:01, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Look I know both are you are from the same clique and both "insiders" especially with you being an admin, checkuser, and arbitrator but couldn't you at least pretend to have a bit of objectivity and post a similar message on his talkpage? Threatening to block someone with no violation while turning a blind eye on your friends is disruptive.--NWA.Rep (talk) 18:09, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome Back =)

Dengero (talk) 14:40, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Glad to see you still have my talkpage on your watchlist after all these years. Appreciate the love and attention--NWA.Rep (talk) 18:06, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know you left because you felt harassed by this and many other things but, could you remove the new messages bar and save it for April Fools. In your absence, it was made against policy to have a spoofed new messages bar on the top and can get you blocked.

Welcome back though. Good to have you.—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 16:06, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the discussion that made this against policy? It's still incredibly stupid and not funny after the thousands of times it's been done now, but I don't recall the conversation that said it wasn't allowed. --Onorem♠Dil 16:28, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Onorem. Cyberpower, if you could cite the "new policy", post it here. You don't make your own rules.--NWA.Rep (talk) 18:02, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SMI, "In an RfC that concluded in February 2012, the community banned misleading user talk notification banners"--Jac16888 ^Talk 18:09, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where was the consensus? Can you cite the RfC? Onorem is someone pretty well dialed in on Wikipedia affairs and even he doesn't know there was a community wide discussion on the matter.--NWA.Rep (talk) 18:11, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't thank me. I think if you want the stupid banner, you should be able to have it. In general, I hope you don't return to editing. --Onorem♠Dil 18:12, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You could just make the effort to follow the link I put but fine: Wikipedia talk:User pages/Archive 10#Simulating the MediaWiki interface (joke banners redux)--Jac16888 ^Talk 18:13, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All right fuck it I removed it. I will be seeking new consensus shortly. The one you cited and Wikipedia_talk:User_pages/UI_spoofing yielded different consensus and the latter had significantly more community participation while the former looks like a canvassing job. I will be seeking where the community stands RIGHT NOW on this issue.--NWA.Rep (talk) 18:37, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of worrying about a stupid prank and whether or not it's allowed, your time might be better spent actually improving the encyclopedia. --Onorem♠Dil 18:39, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Got 2 words for you, Tu quoque. Perhaps I would have more time contributing if I'm not getting persecuted on Wikipedia for no reason. Perhaps you would be better served telling the ones who have been relentlessly persecuting me for years to stop wasting their time over trivial things instead of blaming me for defending myself. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/NWA.Rep/Archive (despite respected admins telling Sven Manguard that there was no evidence that the accounts are linked) Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Certified.Gangsta Wikipedia_talk:User_pages/UI_spoofing (consensus established here yet my opponents doesn't let up) Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:NWA.Rep Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:NWA.Rep/Andre_DeAngelo_Wallace_Jr--NWA.Rep (talk) 18:46, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the 2 words. I have 2 of my own. Be productive. Hmm...that seems simple and doesn't require stupid jokes and drama for the sake of drama. Be productive. What a concept... --Onorem♠Dil 19:02, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lmfao look bro I have a history of being productive and collaborative when being left alone. The fact that people continued to insist on staring at my old (now unjustifiably deleted) userpage and joke banner instead of, and I quote, "BEING PRODUCTIVE" is disappointing. I also noticed these very same people all have very little recent mainspace contributions.--NWA.Rep (talk) 19:07, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Says the person with 5 edits to article space in the last 18 months or so. Good luck. --Onorem♠Dil 19:28, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you haven't noticed, I was driven out several times already just for promoting change in my ArbCom campaign.--NWA.Rep (talk) 19:31, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just for that? Sure, you keep on thinking that. Thanks for stopping by to be disruptive again this year. --Onorem♠Dil 19:41, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can't seem to assume good faith. Sure keep making those personal attacks. I'm sure wikipedia is insulting people on Wikipedia is very rewarding for you. Get a life--YOLO Swag (talk) 22:02, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) Welcome back to the project, and I look forward to seeing your current thoughts about what changes would benefit the arbitration process and the encyclopedia. In my opinion, reopening the endless old arguments about "joke message banners" would be an unnecessary drain on the community's time and would also become a distraction from whatever more serious changes you'd like to promote. So for what it's worth, I recommend that you not do that. Newyorkbrad (talk) 20:29, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Brad. I actually agree with you that there are certainly more pressing issues at hand. There will be ideas and proposals that I will voice in the coming months throughout the ArbCom election cycle. In the meantime, I'm trying to get a sense of where Wikipedia is right now and whether or not I feel comfortable with the vibe because at the end of the day building a comprehensive encyclopedia is what really matters. I am looking forward to collaborate or write some mainspace articles if my schedule permits it and put the old grudges and politics behind me. I hope others could do the same and hopefully there won't be so much backlash that I would have to leave again.--NWA.Rep (talk) 20:36, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Iverson pic is from Getty Images, and is clearly copyrighted: [3]. I've added that link to the Commons deletion page. Zagalejo^^^ 20:29, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay sorry I wasn't aware of that. I just thought you were reverting it back to an older image of A.I. for no reason.--NWA.Rep (talk) 00:43, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Desinicization, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Dengero (talk) 05:35, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
