I am TallRoo (hi tallroo) and I am an Editor. I won't list kills requested by the user (e.g. nuke requests) here. Thanks to Mr Klaproth, everyone gets a message with a reason for the kill. Sometimes I might show that reason here as well.

Thu 2nd August

General tidying up. You will remember from previous logs that I am removing URL nodes. Why? well, here's why you shouldn't use a URL as a node title so please stop noding websites.

Why my girlfriend doesn't exist. (idea) by Mr. Clean (mercifully) - for various reasons, including that it ran along the lines of "If I do not observe something, therefore, it doesn't exist. Hence, Schrödinger's Cat."
Why my girlfriend doesn't exist. (idea) by Geez (mercifully)
Nothing (thing) by Whywait? (mercifully) - empty
Nothing (thing) by nyet (mercifully) - "Nothing seems to be a place where people write test nodes."
anti-social.com (place) by Remy (mercifully)
anti-social.com (thing) by mat catastrophe (mercifully)kuro5hin.org (place) by freeze (mercifully)
Kompressor Does Not Dance (thing) by nullChris (mercifully) - it was a correction of an earlier writeup. This is what /msg and (eventually) Broken Nodes are for
Speaking to you makes me wish I had been aborted. (idea) by nullChris (mercifully) - at -17 and in freefall. Nice Klaproth message regarding Everything University sent

Fri 3rd Aug

time.gov (thing) by tregoweth (mercifully)

Sun 5th Aug

Noding on a Sunday night. How sad.

* Claudiaschiffer.com (thing) by ivan37 (mercifully)

Mon 13 Aug

This week I am working in San Francisco. Miss me.

Tue 21 Aug

* porshe (thing) by evarlast & Kaos - the real spelling is 'Porsche'

Tue 28 Aug

* SP/DIF (thing) by dexmon - we already have S/PDIF the more correct spelling. Actually, we also have S-PDIF, which is used interchangably, but I asked Boldra to move to S/PDIF.

* = nodeshell destruction request too.

As an Everything2 Rookie Editor, it is going to take me a while to learn my way around this place and find where all the cleaning supplies and dumpsters are located. After doing a few "daily" Editor Logs, I realized that I would prefer to keep the sheer number of these logs to a minimum. This looks like a good place to store the bodies.

Nodes Of The Damned

-5 rep (after I voted it up), did not contribute to the node in any meaningful way.

August 24-25, 2001

Klaproth: it's not a bad writeup, but its content has been superseded by later writeups

Well, now that I have cut my teeth on this "Editor Log" business, here's my policy for Editor Log: September 2001...

No more mentions of requested nukes (why bother?)
I will endeavor to include Klaproth messages (where applicable) beneath all line items
I will try to exercise more restraint in not nuking those "questionable" writeups that raise my hackles but which are otherwise viewed as possibly acceptable by other Editors and gods

We'll see how well I do.
