The Amazing Vanishing pan

Hey OptimisticFool,

I am impressed by your work tidying up the wiki, however I wanted to point out that your edit in Minor Foods removed the span tag I had just added. The span was used for an anchor used in the redirect. I'm not sure if it was an accident, but I wanted to ask you to be more careful with larger edits like those. I also wanted to ask you if you have by any chance removed other similar span tags in previous edits? --Stux 21:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

It was removed intentionally; I suppose I should have mentioned it in the edit summary. Your anchor was redundant since the redirect works without it (note the id="Suge Brown" that was already part of the table). OptimisticFool 21:39, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry about that, I just realized my oversight. I was about to remove my comment just now. My edit summary was about to be: "undid revision 533711; I felt I had one of those "I'm an idiot" moments, and I was right! Sorry O.F." (for future reference). Though yes, a clearer edit summary would have been a lot of help too. L8r! --Stux 21:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Fonts

Hey OF, why did you keep adding those fonts?Katonator 3000 09:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Quite simply because... that's what Fonts is for. =] OptimisticFool 09:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Nicely done, guys. OptimisticFool 00:44, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Math problem

Okay, you got it. I feel sorry for the homsarrunner, though. He tried so hard and he missed it. Oh well. You got it right. You're officially entered into the hall of fame and win this userbox.

Keep checking back for more

Thanks!

Glad you liked the Trogdor, and since you asked, I posted the original screen shots on photobucket:

Closeup This is the one that the Bros. used (they cleaned up the black border which made it look way better).
Not so close In this you can see some of the layers that went into building him. Yes, his big beefy arm was made of penguins!

Cheers!(And happy belated Trogday)

Nice. Penguins. =] Why not? OptimisticFool 04:24, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

DVD Image

Hey OptimisticFool, I know you have provided DVD screenshots before, and I was wondering if you could help with a postcard screenshot. I'd be very much obliged! --Stux 04:53, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

This is the adjective video game I've ever played

I've noticed you still don't appear to have an opinion on that article. Did you get to read my explanations on that talk page as to why it is not a real running gag? Bad Bad Guy 17:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

If I wanted to comment further on that article, I would have done so. OptimisticFool 17:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Subterfuge

Wait, what? I see through your plan: to flood the history with similar edits and summaries to throw us off our guard so that you can sneak your hidden ALT text agenda edits in. Crafty. ;) On a more serious note, why not do the 280px adjustments en masse, or at least in groups of, say, 5 or 10? — It's dot com 17:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh wait. I get it. You changed the content of the image, thus requiring a new caption. Hmm. Maybe it would be better for you to upload images with new names if you're replacing the actual content (as opposed to just making the format better), rather than overwriting the old files. — It's dot com 17:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't edit Fonts at all except that it's a live page and I don't think it ought to have an image column width of 500+ (nor should its ALT text be incorrect) for any amount of time. As far as overwriting images, I think it's been appropriate where the filename is the name of the font (which is ideal, IMO). Yes, the history of Fonts is being affected by all of this, but that's another subject. OptimisticFool 18:17, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

IRON CUP'd!

Nice work, Fonteroy!

Thank you, Mr. Couchyman, for all your dedicated and hard work on Fonts and the related. Here, have some soup. -- Super Martyo boing! 02:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
