ThodinThodin is a character in the film I Worship His Shadow that started the TV series, Lexx, played by Barry Bostwick. Thodin is the leader of the Austral-B Heretics, intent on the destruction of the Divine Order of the League of 20,000 planets and in particular, its ruler His Divine Shadow. He was a carrier of the the "Key to the Lexx," which is an intelligent, living mass of symbiotic energy. ==Character details== Thodin is armed with many special biotech gadgets, including a "bug bomb" hidden in his left nostrel, and a false eyeball that explodes and makes him invisible. These tools came in handy during his adventures. He underwent a rigged trial at the Cluster Stadium of the charges of piracy and murder. He escaped only to lose his life in a climactic battle with Kai. Immediately prior to that, he gave the "Key to the Lexx" to a subbordinate who in turn was eaten by a cluster lizard in short order, at which point the Key to the Lexx left him and went to Stanley Tweedle, who now captains the mighty (if unintellegent) vessel. The character wears a short pink skirt and high boots as symbols of authority and leadership. The character, however, was at least bisexual, and possibly hetosexual. Ironically, his last words are cut short as he dies. ==References== * [http://www.sadgeezer.com/lexx/thodin.htm More detailed information including picture.] Lexx Science fiction characters ThodinWIKIPEDIA: Wikipedia is a source for information that has not made its way to easily accessible form. However wikipedia is full of people who edit every page they can. They do negative edits like: * Removing arcane information so nobody knows about it. This includes using multiple accounts (or else they're multiple stupid people) reverting topics 24 hours a day nonstop. * People that sit around a topic and slant it toward personal or political viewpoints. For instance everyone knows furries (I'm not a furry) is a community of people that dress up in stuffed animal costumes to have sex, but those edit the topic like to claim it isn't--they're embarressed of this. Wikipedia is full of nothing but these people that group around topics that they control. If you try to add information, no matter how well-researched and proven, that dissagrees with people's opinionated bias and personal spins, they will revert changes to the article. If you even suggest something on a talk page, they will delete all your comments 24 hours a day nonstop, then follow you around and erase even private messages you sent to other users who are your friends. * Admins (with the ability to ban users so the are feared) who find any changes that dissagrees with their personal biases (this isn't just political things like if you like George Bush II, it's right down to things like toaster ovens) they will change it. Then they will STALK you for days. Yelling at these people in private messages very rarely gets it through their heads, and even if it does there are a lot more. Admins also clean up vandalism, but I've read through the history (history of article changes) of vandalism and vandalism is either kids being silly or the result of wikipedians disgruntled over how so many articles have political spins (as well as admins enforcing their personal biases on all articles), so admins create most of the vandalism that they have to clean up. Another disturbing side exists to admins: These people sit in front of their computer, hitting the refresh button on their web browser for at least eight hours each day, sometimes sixteen, doing nothing but finding recent edits to revert. When they can't find any, they look for articles and information that they want to enforce their personal opinions on. If an article does not go over two pages, then they will instantly make votes for deletion on it -- to limit any possible information that wikipedia has which you can't find all over the web (and wikipedia is supposed to have the info that's hard to find). Things like votes for deletion (includes "this page needs attention") and any article changes by admins could be at the bottom of a page, but they spam it at the top, giving the article a look like kids put it together. If votes for deletion ever happens to a page, all the people who routinely benefit from its information are clueless how to vote, and so the votes are a bunch of admins with corncobs shoved up their butts who have never been to the page before, but will always vote for its deletion in such huge packs it's crazy--it's so awful it crushes your spirit to create multiple accounts to pad the votes in your favor (and maybe all those votes for deletion are one or two people with a lot of accounts). * If you are not an admin and revert vandalism, put something silly for the edit summary. The admin (people with no paying jobs who moderate wikipedia roughly 12 hours a day) will revert you instead, reverting the page back to the vandalism -- they won't even read the page. I put "moo" for an edit summary, but the topic was cattle so it should have been acceptable, well the admins didn't understand the connection. I got my name from this TV character Thodin. Thodin[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Thodin&action=edit§ion=new Click here to leave Thodin a new message.] '''''Although I keep my message list cleaned out, I believe that everyone (especially those with enormous lists of user messages) should use this to avoid the long wait when someone laids the edit page to edit and thus add a new comment. Credits for where I found it go to User:Shanes who is the only one so far I've seen using it.'''' == Sandbox tip == Just regarding your frustration over others messing up the sandbox while you're using it. I know what you mean, but here's a trick that you might not know about, but it's a usefull one: You can have your own personal sandbox! For instance, here: User:Thodin/My Sandbox Just follow the red link and edit stuff there. Nobody will mess up things you write there like they do in the "public" sandbox, so you are free to make temporary edits and experiment as you wish in there. Happy editing! User:Shanes 07:23, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Warez community article == An article with that name has been made and deleted twice. Both on May 28'th. But I doubt that was the content you're looking for. The first version just had the content: "and You wiil come" It was deleted right away. The second version, made later the same day by another anon, was also just short nonsense: "What the fuck" A Warez scene article was made back in april 2004, though it wasn't deleted but made into a redirect to warez a few days later. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Warez_scene&action=history here] for the history and the old content. - User:Shanes 08:08, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC) : Just to add to that, if you really want to find out and have the time to browse through the deletion log, you can find the log [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page= here]. I need to know the exact article name to find the old content. User:Shanes 08:15, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Copyvio == Out of curiousity I went to Thodin, and then followed the link to the external article. The "Character details" appear to have been copied from http://www.sadgeezer.com/lexx/thodin.htm Since it's your namesake I thought I'd give you a chance to re-write it instead of just blanking it. For the future, it's better not to copy material straight from websites unless you know it's in the public domain. Cheers, -User:Willmcw 04:37, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC) :When I wrote it, it was not. I paraphrased everything and I added information not in the article. The article was VERY POV and could not be directly copied in any form and surive so there's no copywrite violation. Additionally, many other people have altered it with edits. Their edits should have further eliminated any likeness to the article--they also added information not in the article. It sounds like you're on a deleting spree; you could have just fixed the article yourself, however since it does not need fixing you want to delete it. User:Thodin 20:09, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC) :OK, I'll just go ahead and delete the part which is a copyvio. I was just trying to be nice. Cheers, -User:Willmcw 21:11, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC) ==VIP page== Stop messing around on the VIP page. If you're going to list Willmcw as a vandal (he's not) then you should have the decency not to remove his comments from the listing. User:Rhobite 01:31, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC) : Are you an admin or sysop? User:Thodin 01:37, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC) :: Yes. Please make your future edits constructive. Up until now you have been wasting the time of a lot of good editors by repeatedly adding trivia to articles, accusing everyone of vandalism, adding copyright violations, the babelfish thing, etc. Consider this fair warning that you'll be blocked if you continue to disrupt the encyclopedia. User:Rhobite 01:41, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC) As I'm not familiar with the show, I am probably not your best choice to rewrite Thodin. Maybe you should ask on WP:PNA.

I am deleting the snippets of text referenced above, which are clearly copied from http://www.sadgeezer.com/lexx/thodin.htm, the text which is in italics. Thanks, -User:Willmcw 21:15, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC) why not just put a link to the surce anbd write " copied from" on it? wouldnt that be a mite easier? User:Gabrielsimon 23:34, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC) : Well in this case the stuff he keeps deleting is not a direct copy, it is a paraphrase. Also articles that are direct copies and then just in quotes get speedy deleted. User:Thodin 23:38, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC) Gabriel, how in the world is this not plagiarism? You can't just take a source, change a few words, and paste it into a Wikipedia article. I'm not going to revert but I'm a bit puzzled that you'd say it's not plagiarism. Seems like the very definition of plagiarism to me. User:Rhobite 02:05, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC) its not phlagarized becase theyt flying snotthings not ther and sevceral other things arent close to the samew. User:Gabrielsimon 02:30, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC) :A common misconception is that if you change some text around a little, it is no longer plagiarism. As I said, that's a misconception. User:Rhobite 02:42, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC) == Revised draft == :''Character details'' :Thodin has been captured and brought to the Cluster for trial, a mockery of justice in front of many thousands of people in the Clusters Stadium. He would be found guilty and fed to Cluster Lizards, gigantic rolling lizards, as punishment for crimes such as piracy and murder. :Thodin was not ruffled by this as he has a number of gadgets to aid him on his exploits. These include a bug bomb hidden in his nostril, and an eyeball that when extracted from the socket can be used as a small bomb, making the owner invisible.

He sacrificed his life in this battle, but prior to that, he gave the Key to the Lexx to a subbordinate, who in turn was eaten by a cluster lizard, at which point the Key to the Lexx left him and went to Stanley Tweedle, who now captains the mighty vessel. :The writers developed Thodin as a fearless warrior, but through their sense of humour, this leader of leaders is forced to wear a short glittery pink skirt and thigh-length boots. The character, however, was heterosexual. While this is still a re-write from a single source, which equals plagiarism, with further contributions by those who know about the topic it can grow into an original article. What additional info can we add or correct in the above text? -User:Willmcw 06:24, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC) :: I've seen a lot of articles that are exact plagarism, but have no references. I think you should put it up. User:Thodin 18:28, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC) :::That's not a justification for ''this'' article's plagiarism, is it? Do you think Wikipedia should be allowed to copy any content it wants, without permission? User:Rhobite 18:42, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC) ::::I think that if we keep working on this draft it won't be plagiarism. Has anyone here ever seen this TV show? -User:Willmcw 19:42, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC) i own it. User:Gabrielsimon 23:27, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Meaning what? -User:Willmcw 00:03, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC) meaning since i can watch the film in question repeatedly and such, i can be considered an expert on thodin. (oh, and i do add correc wording, the " flying snot" menitoned in an earlier edit called itself a bug bomb, so i changed it to that., as an example. User:Gabrielsimon 07:35, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Oh yeah, got it. Cool. Add what you can. In the meanitime, I'll post this version on the page so we can use it as the base. Thanks, -User:Willmcw 07:52, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC) ==''Real'' Revised version== Here is the revised text I meant to post above: *Thodin is armed with many special gadgets, including exploding nasal bugs, and a false eyeball that explodes and makes him invisible. These tools came in handy during his adventures. *He underwent a rigged trial at the Cluster Stadium, but escaped. He sacrificed his life in this battle, but prior to that, he gave the Key to the Lexx to a subbordinate, who in turn was eaten by a cluster lizard, at which point the Key to the Lexx left him and went to Stanley Tweedle, who now captains the mighty vessel. *The character wears a short pink skirt and high boots. The character, however, was heterosexual. ''This'' is the revised version I meant to post before, which I wrote myself, using the one source. Sorry if my mind glazes over on this stuff. Anyway, I'm gonna post this again on the page, adding in the amendments made by editors from the copied material, and then we can move forward. The version I copied by mistake above is the bad, copyvio version, which I somehow didn't notice. My apologies. My aim is the same: let's start with a fresh writing and work up from there. -User:Willmcw 08:00, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC) :I think your rewritten text is good, let's go with that. This is a pretty minor topic to have a plagiarism dispute about, but it still disappoints me that some people do not respect academic honesty. Thanks for stepping in and rewriting it.
