It seems there’s controversy brewing around a Wikipedia page about Nalts (me). It’s subject for deletion, and for the life of me I can’t figure out what the drama is about. A floor nickel to whoever figures it out.
And if it goes away, must I retire? Or do I secretly create a new name and start over?

@46: It is whether, not weather.

What kind of socks? What color were they? Where did you get them? How many pairs did you buy? How much did you pay for them? Were they 100 percent cotton or a cotton blend? Were they dress socks or casual socks? Can you wear them with shorts and tennis shoes without looking like a dork? If they’re dress socks, will you wear them with wing tips or flats?
Oh, by the way maralin, I am totally impressed by your dedication to geekdom. A little scared, too.
I hope you didn’t trample anyone to death to get those WalMart socks.
mdj – I thought Kevin’s pranks were harmless and most of them were pretty good. As for the kids, how many times have I read people begging Nalts to adopt them or express wishes he were their dad
The answer to the question is some people have way too much free time and no life so they spend an inordinate amount deleting arbitrary wiki entries or put pictures up that make themselves feel better. The world can get pretty ugly and more so from people who are ugly on the inside. Let me preface that with, there are also some good and upright people who spend an inordinate amount time cleaning things up on the wiki too
like everything in life you got your good guys and your jerks.
You should have a wiki page, go make you one!
Tho I got to admit, most of your stuff is way too depressing for me, and as real as it may be for you and many all over the world, I just can’t look at it all day then come home and watch it at night. We’re officially in a Recession, just on the brink of a Depression and I think people will become more sympathetic, but not sure they will do much about it. Those 3 minutes may start to count more than ever now. The word depression to me means not enough love, least the people suffering through it don’t seem to feel enough of it. I’m pretty sure if we all cared about each other a little more we might just avoid what they keep telling us is right around the corner. I believe the children are our future teach them well and let them lead the way show them all the beauty they possess inside, give them a sense of pride.. j/k bitches! (only about the last part)

Sounds nice. I’d like to visit your planet some time. I really would. On my planet, they trample people to death to get a few dollars off on a flat screen TV.
I don’t see the deletion message anymore. Does that mean you’re safe? Er, sort of safe?
To Mr. Walker,
I think that is quite a high bar you’ve set there. For us to be entertaining to an Encyclopedia editor. I don’t know how we can live up to such lofty standards, next thing you know we’ll have to measure up to librarians and night watchmen. Where will it end?
Hey Kevin! I think it’s the picture on the Wiki. Try making something professorial, you know, sitting in a wing back chair a in front of a fireplace smoking a pipe .
I think Naltsy should do a professional photograph in front of a green screen and let us make the background.
The best one goes on the Wiki.
@55
How convenient of you to ignore my questions about your socks. And you talk about people being kinder to each other. Hypocrite!!
@52 & 54
Hey, I passed out after that last rant, and the imagined fear of being bludgeoned to death with a dictionary invaded all my dream, but on to more important things…
the socks are from soxland, New York, black rayon spandex poly mix
3 pack, cost roughly nine bucks. I don’t know from dress or casual perhaps both, they cover my feet and fit in my shoes. Nothing I wear ever looks dork or dork-like, but that topic is of course subjective. I purchased them from some nondescript underwear vendor at the mall. I never patronize Wal-Mart unless forced by gun point.
@56 nah, I’m pretty sure we’re on the same planet. Just a bad joke that apparently went over badly
@58 read the comment on the complaint.
“I have great admiration for Kevin Nalty as a video youtuber, he is funny and talented. I am confused though why he would be listed in Wikipedia, which I felt was reserved for living or dead artists, writers, playrites, actors, musicians or anyone with notable achievements that involve publication of works. It took me twenty years to get published by long years of hard work. I do not understand how someone who makes videos on a home camera can be listed as famous on here. Really, Why don’t we just put everyone on Wikipedia as famous”
It take more than patience to interact on the wiki and to edit more than occasionally I’m pretty sure you’re required to have an OCD. But if you ever suffer sometime during the year it’s a good place to retent.
Currently, for those interested, I am going back and forth with some guy named “blubberboy92″ <—need I say more… over Kevin’s profile picture. I don’t know what this guys problem is, of all the free pictures of Nalts on the net this guy is in love and obsessed with a particularly awful picture of Kevin (you have to go to the wiki page history to see it now). For the record, I have permission to use the photos I’ve uploaded and he is using a Flikr imagine that does not have the subjects release. This is how far and ridiculous the copyright laws and the wiki have become. You might think Viacom suing Google is big news, wait until they start suing Wikipedia. As hard as it is to believe, there just aren’t enough lawyers in the world for that.
^@61
You should try microfiber socks.
@61
AHA!!!! I gleaned some important information from your response to my sock question. I’m not telling you what, though.
@53: No need to be afraid, sukatra. Although, one of my co-workers thinks I invented Excel.
@61 why?
@63 Fine, I don’t want to know anything about me anyway.
and one more thing, I’m a live and let live sorta person, but all this back and forth wiki BS got me thinking…who do you contact at You Tube and Viacom to report copyright infringement of published works that do not belong to the channel owner?
why oh why must there always be some hard lessons to be learned – what goes around, comes around. Gage that for yourself, but these sort of things never seem to end nicely. Know what I mean? I hope so.
I heart the WVFF tribe. Yeyyyy us! Bored in the Heathrow Hilton. Heart, Nalts
I wear heavy duty big & tall cotton socks. You can buy them at most retail stores. They’re probably made in a sweatshop somewhere in China. I enjoy their cottony goodness.
It surprises me how many people assume the road to being “notable” must be the same for everyone. Some people work at it for decades.. For others, one random freak stroke of luck made them overnight celebrities. Notability isn’t determined by how long it takes you to get noticed, but by whether or not you’ve been noticed.
Oh well, I’m off to buy more socks.
Wikipedia is the “blanket” of insecure people because they have something to toil about and make themselves anonymously famous.
So if they bang you– just like entering a chat room for lesbians and a man comes in and started to chat and he is banged – there are still other venues to make your life a better one to live.
