Gnome work

First of all, thanks for doing gnome work! There's scarcely an article out there that wouldn't benefit from being gone over with a fine-toothed comb. I was wondering, however, if you'd elaborate a little bit in your edit summaries. "Gnome work" is such a large umbrella, after all. Keep on tranglin'! — It's dot com 02:08, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Image Summary Cleanup

Hello, That'sBupkis. I see that you've been trying to do image summary cleanups, but you've been actually doing it very and completely wrong. The summary should have no periods, but instead look like this:

== Summary ==
A description with everything relevant [[linked]] correctly (from [[source toon]])

Some image summaries were correct and then you actually ruined them, like File:Cow on blackboard.png. Please go back through all the images and replace it with the appropriate formatting. Thanks, 64.239.192.93 16:12, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

But does, what essentially boils down to having a pair of parenthesis or not, really matter, functionally? -132.183.138.174 16:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

We're going for a consistent standard here, that was the point of the project's creation. It's also more than that, much of the relevant links were not added, descriptions were not expanded to be as detailed as possible, etc. — Defender1031*Talk 16:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I see. -132.183.138.174 16:59, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

A consistent standard is a good thing, and I agree with it. What I don't agree with is the original !anonny's statement that That'sBupkis "ruined" anything. Changing something to non-standard is not ruining it (a rather strong statement), even though it's a mistake, especially since it was reverted quickly. That'sBupkis: I know your image edits were meant in good faith, and I'm glad to see you making them. Still, I suggest reading HRWiki:Image Summary Cleanup so you better understand the procedures we need you to adhere to. Then you'll be able to help us out well. Thanks, and keep on tranglin'!

Also please bear in mind what i said about expanding the summaries to include more detail and linking, thanks. — Defender1031*Talk 17:57, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, That'sBupkis. I just wanted to point out a couple of tweaks (here and here) I made to some summaries you recently edited, to help illustrate what we're going for. In the first one, I added more to the description and added another link. In the second one, I made the link more specific and cleaned up the wording some. Note also that there usually doesn't need to be a period between the description and the (from [[toon]]) part. Keep on tranglin'! — It's dot com 18:21, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Flash Decompiler... HELP!!!!!!!!!

Well, I have it, but can't get the video on it. Espemon333 00:55, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

What do you need decompiled? Maybe I can help. ColdReactive 00:58, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, I didn't have anything specific in mind. If anything, I want to know how it works. Espemon333 01:02, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Do you have linux, Windows or MacOS? ColdReactive 01:04, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Windows. Espemon333 01:04, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Try this Decompiler: SWFTools, unless you already have one. ColdReactive 01:08, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Well I have Trillix. Espemon333 01:09, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Espemon333. On your userpage, I left you a comment about how to use Flash Decompiler Trillix. If you have anymore questions, just ask. That'sBupkis! 01:17, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! Espemon333 01:33, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
