| - | == H*R Reference In New Book ==
| |
| - | I just started reading the latest from one of my favorite authors, Orson Scott Card. It's called ''Empire'', and page 19 begins thusly:
| |
| - |
| |
| - | '''"My head a-''splode''," said one of the wittier students, and everyone laughed again.'''
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Can it be agreed upon that this is a bonafied reference? I was wondering if there's a place on this website to record this type of thing. -[[User:TDK|TDK]] 14:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

| - | == Edit Conflicts Noted in Summaries and Posts ==
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Can I just mention how un-useful some edit summaries are? I mean, it's good that you use an edit summary, but we should always try to make them meaningful.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Specifically, stuff like "Edit Conflict x2" or similar are not good edit summaries. We all get them, big deal. What is the '''nature''' of the edit you finally got on the wiki? A typo fix? A reply? An agreement/disagreement? I'm not intending to point to anyone in particular - I see these often from a lot of people.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | On a tangental but related topic: what is the purpose of inticating in '''bold letters''' at the start of a Talk post that you were edit conflicted? Is there a meaningful reason to do this that I'm missing? Or is just unnecessary clutter on the page? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

| |
| - | :::If, as a result of an edit conflict, my talk post doesn't follow the one immediately preceding it, I usually mark it as an edit conflict so people know that the post was meant to come right after a different post than it actually comes after. Otherwise, it's not really necessary. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
| |
| - | ::::On the other point: Using "edit conflict" as an edit summary is not so useful. It doesn't let one know anything about the nature of your edit. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

| |
| - | ::::Wouldn't saying "In response to Heimstern's 00:28 post" (as I am here) be a more clear way to indicate this than mentioning the edit conflict? I mean, in this case, my post is separated from the one I want to reply to since other posts have occurred and there's no convenient way to insert this into the above without disrupting other trains of thought, not due to an edit conflict. Why not take a similar route with edit-conflicted replies, which are essentially subject to that exact same issue? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
| |
| - | :::::I've {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:secret_identity&diff=prev&oldid=247637 been saying this}} for {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki_talk:FAQ&diff=prev&oldid=207752 a while now}}. Noting an edit conflict in the actual wiki text should be a last resort. Upon being edit-conflicted, one should ask, does my post still flow with the other posts? Does the fact that I got a conflict need to be pointed out? Is there any way I can rephrase what I wrote to make it fit better? Yes, rephrasing does take a little more time and effort, and occasionally someone beats you to the punch and says what you were going to say. When that happens to me, sometimes I just let the other person's post speak for me. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:49, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

| |

| |
| - | Hey guys. I've noticed that not a whole lot of people are aware of this, so I'm letting you know that I created a template called {{[[Template:newsbemail|newsbemail]]}} that gives us a really big head start on the first edit of a new sbemail article. For example, when starting the article for [[unnatural]], all you need to type is <code><nowiki>{{subst:newsbemail|166}}</nowiki></code>. So check it out, try it out in the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]], and improve it if you can. We'll probably make a <nowiki>{{newtoon}}</nowiki> template once people get the hang of it. Thanks, and happy editing! —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 15:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

| - | With the release of this new [[New Stuff]] feature on the Toons menu, I wonder, are the sbemails meant to be capitalized?

Is this the way they should be spelled, or is this something to ignore? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 02:32, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
| |
| - | :I believe the last time we talked about this was on [[Talk:Strong Bad Email#No caps]]. Opinions are heavily divided: I still see lowercase Lappy menu e-mail titles as non-binding aesthetics; some would rather keep article case based on how the first official released title looks.

| |
| - | As per [[User talk:4kai2lyn6#OS-tan HRWiki|kai lyn's talk page]], I have created a cute little drawing of an [[Wikipedia:OS-tan|OS-tan]] representing HRWiki! This is just for fun to see what people think of it, but I thought if Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan|got to have one]], we should too! The full explanation of her appearance is on the [[User talk:4kai2lyn6#OS-tan HRWiki|afformentioned talk page]], but for those of you who are too lazy to go there, I'll explain it now (pardon the copy/paste job).
| |
| - | <blockquote>Okay here, let me explain. First, on the right arm I accidentally used a marker that was too thick before I realized that I had a smaller one to use. My mistake. :-( The logo on her bottom braid is, very small, H*R and the stars were for just what Kai lyn said, HomeSTAR Runner. Three Homestar faces are on her outfit, the loop braid and the boots; the body of the boots represents Strong Bad and she's wearing a Homestar shirt. Her hair and ribbons are the main colors of the HRWiki site, blue and white. The skirt represents bees, which the HRWiki users act a lot like (working together for a common goal, honey or info about H*R, and delivering a quick sting to trolls). I just did whatever for her arms. The utility belt has a badge that says "IP", for her to use when she's not logged in, an easter egg, and a book of references. She also holds a notebook with all of HRWiki's articles in it. The hairstyle doesn't really apply to anything, I just made it up and have used it on three characters now. Oh yes, and please pardon the fact that I can't draw hands.</blockquote>
