		+	== Honesty ==
-	I'm perfectly aware of what an idiotic thing it looks like, but I am demonstrating that ''my'' edits are made by ''my'' grammar rules that are correct where ''I'm'' from, and I don't appreciate them being needlessly and pointlessly 'corrected'. I appreciate that as an American cartoon, American language/spelling is used, but grammar is such a longshot.	+	[[Image:Most_improved.PNG|thumb|"That sure was nice of you."]]
		+	I saw [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Pistols_For_Pandas&curid=40024&diff=550629&oldid=550627&rcid=507887 this] edit, and I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you for not being a liar.  You get most improved.  Ding! -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 03:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
		+	:I'm a self-made man, I am, I am! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
-	So, tell me more about what defines an account as caring about what goes in the wiki? --[[User:90.240.34.177|90.240.34.177]] 04:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)	+	== Whaguh? ==
-	:Hi! As we are documenting an American cartoon, we've agreed to largely stick to American rules of grammar and spelling. This means we prefer "color" to "colour", and that we keep to US conventions in grammar. (Not that that's always cut and dried, you'll understand.) But, there's an unwritten rule that's as true here as it is in real life - if it's not terribly important, don't bother with it. If a change makes things clearer, go for it, but if it's six of one, a half dozen of another, no action is really needed.	+	Nice catch, there.  I've honestly never seen K.I.S.S. not capitalized, yet the 'kipedia article does it...repeatedly!  The link was a gewd idea, though. Plus your semacolon catch on that other edit...I feel asleep. I mean, a-sick. Maybe I should stop editing with a headache.--{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 22:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
-	:Re: having an account. Not that it's fair, but the reality is most users accord a bit more credibility to someone with an account, as they've made a modicum of a commitment to the wiki. Also, this enables you to have a user page and let us get to know you through it, and that's an important part of acting within a community. I encourage you to get an account and get involved, as it seems you are sincerely interested in bettering the wiki. If that's indeed your goal, I think you should! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)	+	:Semicolons suck. End of story. And don't worry, I'm twice your age, I'm supposed to know these things. And you don't have to deny drunk with me, man. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
-	::I'm sitting here chuckling because I'm having trouble making out exactly what you're trying to say. Cut and dried? Six of one, half dozen of another? What are you on about? Anyway, believe me, I looked at the style guide before I edited and it doesn't say anything about "US conventions"... but it does say that it's better to stick punctuation outside of the quotation mark than inside in cases like that, so I did. I'm also not really appreciating the way you're addressing me, as though I was the one being picky in the first place: if my edit had been left alone, I wouldn't have kicked up such a fuss. It's not like I go around moving full stops everywhere I see them.	+	::Oh, craap!  I knew no matter how I worded that it'd come across as hangover!  Would you believe I'm a [[for kids|teetotaller]]? --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 22:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
-	::Not to sound harsh but I'd rather have nothing to do with the 'community'. Fans scare me. The fact I'm already being referred to as an 'anonny', which I believe is a reference in itself, already has alienated me. And I don't like people that get too involved with wikis anyway. "I'm a vandal-fighter, look at my badges." Uh-huh, sure. --[[User:90.240.34.177|90.240.34.177]] 04:49, 22 January 2007 (UTC)	+
-	:::Well, as said before, that's not how this wiki (or any other wiki) works. "Your edit" became part of the project, and of course someone else will edit it if it can be improved on.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)	+
-	::::And ''I'm'' saying it wasn't improved upon. It was a needless edit. --[[User:90.240.34.177|90.240.34.177]] 04:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)	+
-	:::I assume that you are not American and my idioms confused you. I apologize for that. I do tend to talk very "American", and that might be unintelligible to others. And please don't see me as kicking up a fuss - my post to you was concerning "letting sleeping dogs lie" (surely you're familiar with that idiom?) and potentially being a fuller participant.	+

[[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 17:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)	+	So, when you get repeated [[User talk:That Guy Over There#Using Show Preview|talkin tos]] about the same subjects, you start to ask yourself questions... questions like, "Am I some kinda n00b, or am I just as clueless as Qermaq claims to be?" I think the general impression of me from other users is that I am neither a helpful contributor on this wiki nor do I really know what I'm doing or what I'm talking about. What do you think? (Be not confused, in spite of the change in username, I'm still [[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] on the inside, no matter how lame that username is.)

-	Hey Qermaq! About my edit to that page: the one about the high school band; did you remove it from the Fast Forward section because it wasn't really the Brothers Chaps' doing? I put it in Trivia instead. Is that okay? See ya! {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 17:21, 25 March 2007 (UTC)	+	:I hate to be really short, but I do only have about a minute or two. Do yourself a favor. Click on "my contributions" on the top of the page. Do you see helpful edits? Then you're doing fine. Do you have to look hard to find them? Then you could be doing better. Everyone contributes diferently, and the only thing you should worry about is if you are contributing in some way. Things will be learned in time, but no matter if you know nothing but how to revert a vandal or fix a misspelling, if that's all you do, you are a contributor. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

-	I didn't much appreciate the insulting comments you made about me in my recent challenge of the Stains on Head decline in [[Talk:KOT's VOQPCS!#Contesting of Stains on Head decline|KOT's VOQPCS!]]. I feel that I was being singled out by you because I didn't agree with your logic, and felt that you were more than a little rude and a jerk in your comments. I understand you didn't agree, but you didn't need to go the route you did. If you don't agree, fine. Don't make yourself seem like a superior being just because someone doesn't agree with you. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 16:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)	+	Cool!!

-	:ISlayedTheKerrek: I personally think it was kind of rude to single Qermaq out as a so-called bad-faith voter when in fact he hadn't even voted. It seems that it really struck a chord with him and colored his response to you (which, though his tone of communication was clearly irritated that you hadn't done your homework, it was still somewhat modulated, methinks). &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)	+	:You'll find quite a few here, you know.

-	::Maybe so, but I did apologize for that, Dot Com. I thought I saw his name there when I wrote the comment, but after I rechecked I took it back. I screwed up, I said I was sorry. That's no excuse for what he did. (You'll have to excuse me if I misinterpreted what you were saying...not sure what "modulated," used in that context, means.) --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 05:34, 14 April 2007 (UTC)	+	::OMG I love that Graham Userbox!

-	:I find it odd that the person accusing me of behaving "like a superior being" began this whole affair by accusing fourteen users of voting in poor faith simply because the outcome of the STUFF vote went contrary to his wishes. While I found that tactic distasteful, I replied with what I felt was a fair and explanatory message as to why a majority of people seemed to find the fact unacceptable. I was met with a response which, in my opinion, fell just short of personal attack. Yes, I was upset about that, and I cannot apologize for that. I took exceedingly great care in crafting a post which expressed my reaction in clear and elevated language. In that sense, I suppose my message was modulated. Nonetheless, I hope you understand that when statements along the lines of "fourteen people voted a particular way for a dumb reason" are made, they are likely to be met with responses which might not be anywhere as civil as mine were. I feel, as I did then, that your reasoning was faulty, your post was made without reference to fact, and that your proposal to cancel a fair and compliant STUFF vote was in poor judgement of what's best for the wiki. That's why I attempted to explain the likeliest reasong for these voters' rejection of the proposed Fun Fact. Also, your second post seemed to ignore points I had made in my initial reply, simply reinforcing your message that the fourteen voters were obviously not acting in good faith, even after I showed how I felt they were.	+
-	:Now, while I intended to express my feelings of exasperation and insult, I never intended to express arrogance or to offend, and if my post did elicit those reactions, I am of course sorry. But please realize that all the users here are humans, and humans are prone to emotion and are apt to reply with those emotions undivorced from their message when they feel provoked. I believe that most of the time I am capable of responding to users with absolute modulation, and while I regret this was not one of those times, I still stand behind the statements I made in that talk. Unfortunately, there seems to be no common ground on this issue, so I ask that we leave it and continue our best efforts at civil cooperation in future encounters, so as to put this behind us. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:44, 14 April 2007 (UTC)	+	== You're old! ==
-	::Hey, I'm not saying that you didn't have a right to be insulted or, pardon my French here, pissed off at what I said. I do think that you did, in your response, were showing less of that and showing more of the arrogance and offensiveness that you mention. I do appreciate that you acknowledged that, and even though I also stand by most of what I said (except for the false accusation that you were one of the voters), I accept your apology. Hopefully there will be no more problems in the future. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 19:15, 14 April 2007 (UTC)	+	Happy Q day!{{User:Loafing/sig}} 19:44, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

-	:::ISlayedTheKerrek, after reviewing both your and Qermaq's posts, I really don't know why ''you'' were offended by ''anything'' that Qermaq said. When it comes to "arrogance and offensiveness", you are the clear winner. I'm saying this because you just re-iterated your attack on Qermaq and re-confirmed that you stand by what you said earlier. I'm not impressed. To begin with, accusing STUFF voters (including myself) of making bad faith votes is a serious allegation, and I demand a retraction and an apology. Secondly, I wholeheartedly support Qermaq's last post. Please read it again, it is an excellent example of how to cooperate at this wiki instead fighting each other. You can and you should learn a lot from him.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:46, 14 April 2007 (UTC)	+	== Need User Box Help ==
		+	Qermaq, I'm going to change the userbox for my e-mail to be more like [[New Paper]], however rather than the standard format like on our user pages.
-	:Loafing, I read what he said, several times in fact. I did NOT reiterate my so-called "attack" (which was not an attack...if I was going to attack him I would have been a LOT more abusive than I might have been), all I said was that I do stand by most of what I said. I'm sorry if you were offended by anything I said, but I am not retracting what I said. I still believe coincidence and intent don't really have much to do with anything involved in the fun fact, just whether or not the fact was notable enough for inclusion. I'm sure none of us will say that it was the intent of the artists to make the stains look like a smiley face. What matters in the end is whether or not it's notable enough and not a stretch. Maybe "bad faith" was a little overzealous of me, and I do apologize for that, but I can disagree with the way the vote went, and I still do feel that way, even though I've withdrawn my challenge to said fun fact. I'm not going to suddenly change my opinions because you demand it. I already apologized for falsely accusing Qermaq of voting against the fact when in fact he didn't. I apologized for causing the trouble, and made the apology in good faith. I thought everything was settled and a truce existed, but apparently you don't believe so. You're making it seem like I go out on a regular basis to cause trouble on this wiki, and that couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, in the past I have done a few things that I probably shouldn't have, but most of the time I try and stay away from things like that. I understand you're a sysop, Loafing, and probably once you read that I didn't retract what I said that you're probably going to take away my editing privileges for an extended period of time. But if you are going to do that, know this: I don't go out of my way to cause trouble with votes (I may not like the way things go on certain ones, such as this, the "Seb" fact from [[mile]] and the little orphan Annie or Oliver one from whatever it was from...it escapes me that the exact moment, but this was my first time actually standing up and contesting it), I've been cooperative over my time here with nearly everything I've done, and even though I have had some minor spats and disagreements at times with some other members (which I have admittedly been wrong on several occasions), I respect everyone here and what is done here, and don't think that I should be labeled as uncooperative by anyone. In the future, I can say that I won't be as aggressive with the contesting as I was here (and I reiterate again that I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time with this whole bit), and that I will continue to be as cooperative as I have been in the past. But I do believe that it is my right to disagree with the way something goes, as I do in this case, and I can't retract what I said, outside of the words "bad faith", because that would imply that I agree, and I don't.

-	Regarding that thing I said about the opening credits for big toons, the reason I wanted to know was because that person drove away votes for "Where Credit Was Due" for an illegitimate reason.  Also, he was dead wrong about the [[DNA Evidence|next big toon]] including opening credits. I also want to note that this is a very different case from "Evident STUFF" because looking old was the only 2007 email w/out DNA Evidence for 4 months, while SB is in jail is/was the last Big Toon with opening credits for '''3 years.'''  I also want to know if that person thought I was talking about a different toon or if there actually is a chance of them coming back by the end of the decade.

-	:Dude, I really think it's time to give this a rest. All anyone said on that stuff item was that there ''could'' be more eventually. At any rate, this item was declined 17 to 1. I really doubt all those people were driven away because someone wrote that there could be more toons (I suspect it has more to do with the argument "If it were the last toon ever that credited TBC and Missy, then maybe it would be notable, but Halloween '05 (which came later) gets that distinction to date.") In any case, I think the result of this vote is quite clear and that the community at large doesn't feel this is worth noting. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC)	+

[edit] How say name?

How do you say your name? Ker-mack? Do you drive a Mack truck? --Dewey Finn 02:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Read my talk archive, Thunderbird and Heimi asked that same question a long time ago! And no, I drive a Hyundai. (It's always a fun day in a Hyundai!) - Qermaq - (^T/C)  03:15, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please Help Qermaq

I went into my profile and still could not find the "edit summary reminder". Where is it?--Bapes 23:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Go to your preferences, click the Editing tab. It should be the last box: check it. Hooray for edit summaries! - Qermaq - (^T/C)  02:04, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, ok. Thanks Qermaq--Bapes 03:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Honesty

I saw this edit, and I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you for not being a liar. You get most improved. Ding! -DAGRON 03:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm a self-made man, I am, I am! - Qermaq - (^T/C)  03:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Whaguh?

Nice catch, there. I've honestly never seen K.I.S.S. not capitalized, yet the 'kipedia article does it...repeatedly! The link was a gewd idea, though. Plus your semacolon catch on that other edit...I feel asleep. I mean, a-sick. Maybe I should stop editing with a headache.--Onamuji (b/w T. C.  ) 22:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Semicolons suck. End of story. And don't worry, I'm twice your age, I'm supposed to know these things. And you don't have to deny drunk with me, man. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  22:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, craap! I knew no matter how I worded that it'd come across as hangover! Would you believe I'm a teetotaller? --Onamuji (b/w T. C.  ) 22:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

now that i know that i have a new account made today. you can find it on my page now.

Homsarstrongbad150 02:27, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] oops

whoa. oops. sorry, you can delete that, I didn't even know i did it.

[edit] Cursory Tour

What is a cursory tour that you mentioned here, and how did you use it to prove it's not TBC. Homestar-Winner (talk) 21:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I looked through the vids they have up. They constantly state they do not have copyright on these, and refer to TBC in the third person. TBC would not do that. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  14:40, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

That video on their page was 1 that somebody else uploaded. Bad Bad Guy 20:28, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not uploading

Yo, Qermaq. Didn't you just stopped the peolpe here from uploading pictures?Katonator 3000 14:01, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. No, I have just plain regular editor priveleges on the wiki, and therefore cannot stop people from doing anything. There was a server move, and they are working on fixing the images. Wait it out. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  14:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This is an ex-parrot

I love your Graham Chapman user box, so I stole it! --Acam30 21:55, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

May I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is no userbox stealing in the HRWiki. Absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than we are prepared to admit. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  23:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Qermaq

Hey Qermaq, something important to talk about, would you mind coming on IRC whenever you see this? Chwoka's a bit down and asked for you. Bluebry 02:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind. Things have seemed to calm down. Bluebry 03:09, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I just can't face the truth!

So, when you get repeated talkin tos about the same subjects, you start to ask yourself questions... questions like, "Am I some kinda n00b, or am I just as clueless as Qermaq claims to be?" I think the general impression of me from other users is that I am neither a helpful contributor on this wiki nor do I really know what I'm doing or what I'm talking about. What do you think? (Be not confused, in spite of the change in username, I'm still Lux Acerbus on the inside, no matter how lame that username is.)

...in my defense, I will say that I use "Show Preview" all the time! However, perfectionism and forgetfulness do not mix well. ~That Guy Over There () 03:19, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

I hate to be really short, but I do only have about a minute or two. Do yourself a favor. Click on "my contributions" on the top of the page. Do you see helpful edits? Then you're doing fine. Do you have to look hard to find them? Then you could be doing better. Everyone contributes diferently, and the only thing you should worry about is if you are contributing in some way. Things will be learned in time, but no matter if you know nothing but how to revert a vandal or fix a misspelling, if that's all you do, you are a contributor. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  09:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cool

Cool!! Another Monty Python fan!! -Sonicfirestorm44 23:58, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

You'll find quite a few here, you know. Hope you're enjoying the wiki! - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

OMG I love that Graham Userbox! I'm also a fan of Monty Python. Micheal is my favourite python. Stark Traurig 19:39, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] You're old!

Happy Q day! Loafing 19:44, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I was about to defend him, but gosh, 29?! If I'm old on this Wiki, he's ANCIENT!! (Just kidding.) --Jay (Talk) 19:51, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Q day around these parts starts in about 7 hours, but you sneaky devil, you snuck one in early! - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:05, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, even though I'm in Europe, where it's still the 15th, my birthday calendar runs on NZ time, where it's already tomorrow. So there you go ;-) Loafing 21:13, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Need User Box Help

Qermaq, I'm going to change the userbox for my e-mail to be more like New Paper, however rather than the standard format like on our user pages.

I want to have the picture on the Left and the text on the Right... and switching the contents of code and msg' makes it all retarded. any suggestions? Wi2K Talk-Favorites-173 12:11, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

{{userbox|border={color}|mainbkgd={color}|codebkgd={color}|codecolor={color}|code=[[Image:Image.PNG|{width}px]]|msg=Text}}

should put the pic on the left and the text on the right. That's the normal syntax for a userbox. If what you want is the pic on the right, then I don't know. You might try asking on HRWiki talk:Userbox. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:18, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

thats what I ment... pic on Right... text on left... I was thinking about creating a template, but I want to get approval from an admin first. Wi2K Talk-Favorites-173 16:43, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lead Sheet

Hey, I'd like a copy of the lead sheet, as long as you can play it on the piano. I'll annoy the crap out of my family! And, tomorrow's my birthday, so this would be a great present! Thanks! OpenSourceGreg 10:14, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Sadly, that was lost when my old 'puter crashed. I suggest contacting previous requesters to see if they have a copy. Sorry. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  06:13, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
