Talk:Weekly Sketchbook

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 13:06, 18 March 2005

Just a quick question. Who's gonna keep up with updating stuff like this? I know we're all busy with simply moving crap from there to here, but I dunne wanna lose anything that could be added, ya know? I'd update it myself, but I do most my wikistuff at work, so I can't make screenshots at all. -- AgentSeethroo 15:15, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

Yeah, I can do that tonight. I think I'll come up with a better format too. -- Tom 15:30, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

Guh-roovay. The current one is kinda stinky anywho. -- AgentSeethroo 16:00, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

Fun facts?

Is there room for a fun facts section on this page? The Tetherball'd TTGS death is a possible reference to the first season of South Park, when Kenny died in the exact same way. --Southpaw018 18:46, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

If there is, I vote Decline -Your Fuzzy God 10:20, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)

"Tableization"

I'm glad there's finally a table for this section (as well as the weekly fanstuff.) The images being different sizes before the tables wasn't a necessarily a bad thing, I just thought it detracted from the page slightly. The use of tables did force those images that were on other sites (namely photobucket) to be uploaded to the wiki, which is a plus. I think must of us can agree that it looks better than before. --Teh P. 22:19, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

Comic-Book Style The Cheat

With the introduction of the tables, I'm glad this image finally surfaced. I almost lost hope in that image ever being recovered, as it was the only image that I thought was never POSTERITY'd!! Due credit to Tom. --Teh P. 22:19, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

Message to TBC from Jonathan Howe

Be sure to view the XML source of this file: [1]

I learned about this XML file when I was poking through these flash files: [2] & [3] when I found I couldn't view the image or the text when those two preceding files are saved remotely (i.e., on a hard drive.) Jonathan (I assume his last name is Howe, as he is a programmer) has left a message in a comment to the "Chapos" about the placement of certain "character shortcuts." He more or less 'signs' the comment with the words "Love, jonathan." I just found this rather amusing. Does anyone else? --The Paper 20:37, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

Hmmm... Tricky. I like the base files though. Those can come in handy... [[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]] 12:12, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)

Halloween Costumes

If anyone can identify some of those halloween costumes from the museum sketchbook, (the last sketch), feel free to enter their names into the rollover title at the appropriate place saver. I can't really think of anything better at the moment, maybe I'll add them to the Halloween Costumes section or something later. Thanks.

Images with Subtitles

Shouldn't the images for the Sketchbook and Fanstuff not have the captions with them? If not, the "Title" column is pretty much useless. --Gafaddict 21:24, 17 Feb 2005 (MST)

It does seem redundant. It is easier to remove the "title" column, but then that text can not be found during a search. - Dr Haggis - Talk 23:14, 17 Feb 2005 (MST)

Since the very beginning, we've always treated the text and image as one. That's how they appear, so that's how we've been reproducing them. And the additional text is for better searching. I do notice, however, that the Sketchbook article lacks the interesting descriptions the Weekly Fanstuff page affords. -- Tom 12:57, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)

Moving the page

Shouldn't this still be under simply a 'Sketchbook' page title? Perhaps it would make more sense to move The Museum Sketchbook to just that, a 'Museum Sketchbook' page or something. I mean, when you roll over the button on the main page, all that pops up under it is just 'Sketchbook'. We're not going to change the name of 'Quote of the Week' to just 'Weekly Quote' are we? (Sorry I missed the discussion on the Sketchbook page) [[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]] 15:31, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

Er, good point. So you're thinking we should move Weekly Sketchbook --> Sketchbook and Sketchbook --> Museum Sketchbook. That makes sense to me, but then again so did moving the weekly sketchbook section to this page. What do you think? -- Tom 12:01, 13 Mar 2005 (MST)

I second Tom--flashstorm 12:34, 13 Mar 2005 (MST)

Yup. I appreciate the work you went to fixing all the links, and don't like to ask you to change them back, but it really makes sense to keep the names the website came up with. I third Tom. [[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]] 14:17, 13 Mar 2005 (MST)
