A message from a valued co-editor and friend.
Hallo, dear old Carptrash. Still insisting on behaving like a human rather than a wikipedian?
There is another longer and more complicated explanation involving a several step process getting there from another internet name, “carpe mañana” to carptrash. But that’s for another day.
I am in fact not me at all but a sock puppet. For those of you, or both of you, or whomever reads this, the rational is clearly laid out here.
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gamaliel (suddenly there is nothing there! This was a blue link 4 minutes ago.)
The proof is that after a month or so of my first editing I was making significant edits (gee, maybe that's why I started editing?) and then more than a dozen years later I reverted something that an editor did not want reverted and lo-and-behold, I must be a sock. Food for thought.
An attempt at user boxes.

Breitbart News has this to say about me:
"All mention of the Ngo assault was subsequently removed by editor “Carptrash,” whose profile page includes multiple images of himself in an anarchist shirt, one time while brandishing a blunt instrument."
Just for the record, those pictures were of my Halloween costume that year, in one of them I am wearing a tiara , hardly standard antifa issue.
this old section of my user page, the so called "23 (sometimes 27) words and phrases" .
I have a list of words or phrases that, to me, when I hear them or read them, or say them or write them, typically mean, "in my opinion."
An editor (of course anonymous) posted of me, "Furthermore, the definition (of racism) that Carptrash added is communist/far-left propaganda. Any source that says "institutional, structural, and systemic" when discussing racism is using far-left polemic garbage from the Marxist, anti-Semitic, and anti-white critical race theory pseudoscientific ideology." (Back to me) I want to state that I am not now, nor ever have been a member of the Communist Party and certainly do not consider myself to be a Marxist, anti-semitic or anti-white. Often at these moments I am accused of being anti-male, so I will deny that too.
Now I discover, while I am complaining about the SPLC that, ""Scratch a group complaining about the SPLC, and there's a 99.9% likelihood you'll find a hate group." So what do you think, am I a Marxist leftist or a Confederate loving' right wing hate group member? It's so confusing. Carptrash (talk) 00:06, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
I'd like to thank the Wikipedia Foundation for their recognition of my editing efforts. Although the process was not seamless I have long come to understand that there are speed bumps on the road of life and if I hit them wrong it can create a bit of a jarring effect.
I have declared all my edits to be a diabolic mixture of opinion and original research. Just so that I can't be accused of doing this anonymously, the names I've used while posting pictures are EEK, eek, ****************** and probably a few more variations on this.
However, I am now amending this stance to state that all of my edits are carefully and thoroughly researched and if the documentation seems to be missing it is just because some vandal probably removed it.
I feel that I am likely in the top one million editors in both number of edits and number of articles created. However I am much more proud to include myself in the Top 100 Monkeys.
I just discovered that my 5th anniversary (July 2009) on wikipedia just passed. Life is supposed to be interesting.
I also just discovered some links at the bottom of my user page that informed me that I've done over 10,000 edits and created 139 articles. Life goes on.
And I can now update this to my 10th year here and 20,000 edits. I think.
as happened today, [1] an editor corrects a spelling mistake that I made something like 5 years ago. It's a real feel good place.
Sort of always a work in progress and a good place for a wikibreak without have to leave wikipedia.

I am back in a different mood. different mode. A different everything. i can't really explain why rhigh now because oof being watched. Did you ever get the feeling that everything that you did and said was being recoreded? I mean, by somene else?/ everything. Sure, you are probably thinking, this boy is off his rocker. Stark raving madd. More later
This is sort of a fun thing too. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.03/wiki.html
I am, it turns out, not me at all but a sock puppet. For those of you, or both of you, or whomever reads this, the rational is clearly laid out here.
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gamaliel (this charge lasted about 47 minutes or so). Darn!
The proof is that after a month or so of my first editing I was making significant edits (gee, maybe that's why I started editing?) and then more than a dozen years later I reverted something that an editor did not want reverted and lo-and-behold, I must be a sock. Food for thought. Anyway, I suspect that when this all plays out I will deem it an honor to be on the other side of some fence from User:MrCharlesBlack. Any way, he sort of got his pecker smacked for filing a "Bogus Sockpuppet Investigation."

| Here is a token of appreciation for all of your contributions here at Wikipedia. I've noticed you've written extensively about various fields of art: painting, sculpture, photography, and of course also music. I might add that that the list in the Wrecking Crew article is a real work of sculpture! And, I'm glad to see someone's writing about WPA art from the 1930s. I should also note that your user page is a work of art too. I see that photo of your work station, decorated with those art books magnificently strewn about like a Jackson Pollack painting. And, then those pictures of your little doggies down at the bottom in various "poses" and "compositions." So, I thought I'd say thanks for everything!

Since the local library is very small and there are not any nearby bigger ones, most of the sources and references that i use are from my own collection, the carpchives or the eeekchives (depending on my mood). I recently started cataloging my books on librarything and decided that I'd post a link here after I had 1,000 titles entered. .............. Sometime later, and still plodding along, I am now, I believe, over 2,000 titles and still entering. I also received a nice award at Library Thing (where this link goes) for uploading a bunch, maybe 500? of covers images. Anyway, here is my library. [5]. With many more, I believe, to follow.

“Whole Lotta Love” bears little resemblance to “You Need Love” as recorded in 1962 by Muddy Waters and owned by Willie Dixon (now by his estate). The track is, however, closely related to The Small Faces’ 1966 song “You Need Loving” (which is based on the same Muddy Waters track that was owned by Willie Dixon). Same story by the song Venus of Shocking Blue which stil gives Robbie van Leeuwen as composer, but it's a revision of "The Banjo Song by The Big 3. But that song has its orgins in the old song "Oh Sussana" written by Stephen Foster. See this wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Lotta_Love
