== G5? ==

I object to the naming of this article as the "G5 iMac." There's no evidence for or against it being a G5 model.{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 07:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

:Propose '''move''' to '''The Cheat's iMac'''. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:40, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
::Although [[Tangerine Dreams]] is an iMac too, and also belongs to The Cheat. Really it's his ''new'' iMac. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::Well, Bassbone is quite correct, calling it a G5 is speculation. But calling it the ''new'' iMac is a bit stilted. There must be a better way to title this page without speculation or time-limited terminology. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:54, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, propose '''move''' to '''The Cheat's iMac (2006)''', pending a more identifying name released in canon sometime in the future. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Moved using the handy-dandy "move" function shown at the top of the page. I think the sysops will undestand. I also stubbed this, as it could be more detailed and cleaned up. {{User:Fahooglewitz1077/sig}} 01:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

What's up with the (2006) in the article title, and the "New" in "The Cheat's New iMac" in the opening? Doesn't seem right. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
:Used to be called "New" in the title. Changed so it wouldn't get dated. The 2006 is coz [[Tangerine Dreams]] is also an iMac, and this is to differentiate it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Should we treat it as the official name and move this article there? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 03:37, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

== Mac OS Version ==

The article says that Tiger came with all G5 iMacs, but I bought an iMac G5 from Apple, and when I sent off for replacement OS discs, it came back with 10.3.3 (Panther). Just saying. --[[User:Monosodium|Monosodium]] 03:46, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
:<s>That, I find weird.</s> That actually reminds me. The iMac G5 was released when Panther was still around. Oh well, there's a bunch of stuff I could improve on in that article. Seeing as I'm the only one who contributes to i— oh wait. This is the later iMac G5 with the built-in iSight, which was released a couple months after Tiger. I think I should note that. Thanks for bringing it up! --[[Special:Contributions/71.157.173.166|71.157.173.166]] 03:55, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

== Apple button ==

In the section about the menu bars, it might be nice to put in the apple button, thus removing the need to tell people it's there, in the text that follows.  on a mac is option+shift+k. I'm not sure if it will show up that way on a PC, though. --{{User:Finest1/sig}} 22:52, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Finest1: /**/Blues clues?

This has been moved back and forth from Eh! Steve to Eh! Steve! now. I'm inclined to move it back to Eh! Steve! because that's how it's written in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]]: "Meet Eh! Steve!'s lawyer!" {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:12, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)
: Ah, but in the icons downloadable from [[crazy cartoon]], it's Eh! Steve, no second exclamation point. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:19, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)
: And let's not forget the Easter egg in [[kids' book]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:20, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::I was just waiting for someone to come up with counterexamples ;) I guess two against one is convincing enough for me... Although Pay Plus! is more recent, so if we see something else with the ending exclamation point, we might want to consider moving it back. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:21, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::I don't know whether this means anything, but the caption under Eh, Steven in [[different town]] has a period after the name and inside the quotation marks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:01, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::::Also, in [[what I want]], his ornament's an "Eh! Steve!" soiled gold ornament. I'm all for 2 exclammy points. - Th' Duck
Seeing as the ! after "Eh" is undisputed, let's see about Steve...

Eh! Steve -
1. Buddy Icons
2. [[kid's book]] easter egg

Eh! Steve! -
1. [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]] - when his mouth exploded the universe, the text is shown, although this may just be how he speaks it.
2. [[different town]] - Eh, Steven. (there's a period after Steven, implying punctuation after Steve.
3. [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!|Pay Plus]] - It's Eh! Steve!'s lawyer
4. [[Weclome Back]] - It's "Eh, Steve!" but it's still "Steve!"
5. [[what I want]] - Eh! Steve! ornament

It's one versus 5. I'ma move to Eh! Steve! - [[User:Dr. Clash|Dr. Clash]] 01:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

==Haircut Appearance?==
Before I throw it in his filmography, I throw it here. In [[haircut]], when Strong Bad makes his "Prime Time" version of Strong Mad's hair, he draws a tiny Eh! Steve. Now, realizing it's not ''actually'' Eh!Steve, and that even Strong Bad says "Eh!Greg", is there any way this qualifies? [[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]] 11:09, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Eh! Steve reference to happy days? ==
: Does anyone think Eh steve saying "Eh steve!" is a reference to Fonzi's catchphrase "Ehhhh!"

== Quite certain it's SOLID ==

In the listing of the solid gold ornament, somehwone keeps changing solid back to soiled after I edit it. It is SOLID, Right?

:No, it's actually soiled. Check what it says in the sidebar on the toon. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:39, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

== Seinfeld? ==

Eh! Steve! might be a joke in reference to the Seinfeld episode where Kramer staples people's pictures to the wall in the lobby. Jerry says hi to someone while looking for his picture and that person's name was Steve. Jerry ended up saying, "Hey...Steve!" --{{User:SantanaHomerunner/sig}} 14:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Should [[kids' book]] be counted in Eh! Steve's filmography or would that be breaking that rule about not counting pictures of people as actual appearances? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 15:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

== Italian accent? ==

Eh! Steve! only says one thing, if at all. And I'm pretty sure it's said in an Italian accent. I guess it could be Greek, due to the patterns on his quadrangle... those seem like Greek motifs to me. Didn't Strong Bad talk about his shape once? Or was it just "Eh! Steve! isn't really a person?" ---Ransom (--[[User:69.105.84.54|69.105.84.54]] 04:59, 17 September 2007 (UTC))
:Definitely Italian, like Arthur Fonzarelli ("Ayyy, Richie!"), but that ''is'' a Greek pattern. However, remember the ancient Romans annexed Greece and occasionally borrowed their culture (i.e. Greek deities). {{User:Zoom/sig}} 05:57, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

== Wedding Planner ==

I'm almost 100% positive that Eh! Steve is a quote from the movie the Wedding Planner, with J-Lo and Matthew McCaughnehey (sp?). There is a character that comes from Italy wanting to be J-Lo's fiance, and he greets McCaughnehey's character (named Steve) like this. The tonation, accent, and voice quality is pretty exact. The scene is later in the movie when they are in Sonoma. --augusthead (15:09 18-OCT-2007)

:Interesting — do you (and does anybody else) have the DVD to check? Also, welcome to the wiki! Also also, you can sign and timestamp your posts by typing four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), like this: {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

::Thanks for the help. I re-watched the movie to see if I could find the quote, and it wasn't in the Sonoma part, but instead toward the end at City Hall. My DVD player had it at 1hr 35min into the movie. Steve gets out of a taxi and Massimo (the guy who wanted to be J-Lo's fiance) says his name a few times to call him over. It's not as exact as I thought, but there is a verrry strong resemblance in the way Massimo says "Steve" to the "Eh Steve" in HR. He actually says "Hey Steve" but it's really really close. If anyone on here gets the movie, watch and see what you think. -- [[User:Augusthead|Augusthead]] 17:04, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

:::Cool, thanks for checking. Not having the DVD, it sounds like it's a coincidence, but maybe somebody else can check and see what they think... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:39, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Where is he? I don't see it. --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 20:11, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

== Blues clues? ==

Eh Steve might be a reference to the former host of Blues Clues, Steve, who left to show for some reasons. Eh Greg! Might be a reference to the new host that replaced him, even though his name isn't greg.--{{User:Finest1/sig}} 00:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think the origins strong bad email is the right source for this quote of the week. I just watched the cartoon and I didn't hear the quote in the main toon or in the easter eggs.

== Very mean and boring ==

Okay, I can sorta see the [[origins]] outtake ("Why do you... guys...") after it was explained to me, but I cannot see that the "very mean... things" quote came from [[boring (really)]] as was previously stated.

::::I'm assuming your PC runs Windows... in which case, bring up the volume control (double-click the speaker icon in the taskbar), go into the preferences and choose "Recording" and turn on all the options below. Now, depending on your sound card, you'll want to find something like "Stereo Mix" or "Mixer" or "Output" or something similar, and either turn on "Select" or turn off "Mute" or something like that. Now when you hit "Record" in Audacity (or any other recording software) it will record whatever your speakers are playing... so click Record, then play the toon, and you'll have the soundtrack. It will take a few goes to get the recording level right, but that's how you do it.

== Helping us out ==
Once again, although they didn't clear up the issue we were hoping they'd clear up, it almost seems TBC are intentionally trying to help us out on the Wiki, with the new [[lady fan]] quote (it's not actually an outtake; Homestar does say the line but the volume is turned way down and said under one of Strong Bad's lines so you can barely hear it.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:21, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

== The Sadsons ==

The Simpsons used the tai chi/chai tea gag in the 2000 episode "[http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF22 HOMR]". Lisa claimed that she dealt with the stress of being an intellectual through practices that included drinking chai tea and doing tai chi. It's even conceivable that the Simpsons similarity was the reason they didn't use this take. Notable? --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 18:18, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
:Notable. -[[User:RadSkat3|RadSkat3]] 19:47, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
:Weak. I've seen the episode, and rather than the Homestar Runner gag being a reference to a similar Simpsons gag, I'd say that they're both references to the fact that "chai tea" and "tai chi" sound amusingly similar for things that are both considered "new age" but have no semantic relationship. I don't think that every joke in Homestar Runner needs to be noted with everyone who's used the joke before; here, there's simply no tie to The Simpsons. I vote, strongly, for baleetion.

== Latest quote: [[portrait]] outtake? ==

So I noticed my edit was removed that said the new quote was an outtake from portrait... and the person who changed it back was confused as to my reasoning. Well, what happened was that I downloaded the new quote and played it in iTunes, but in iTunes itself the title of the clip was different than the title of the actual file. It said "sbemail139_5_shadowstevens" as the title, which lead me to believe that the quote was an outtake from email 139. [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]]

:Ooh, good call. And the quote talks about an "artist". I'm wondering about the "5" part of the file title — The only alternative interpretation is that the quote belongs to a [[Strong Bad Email#Not Quite Strong Bad Emails|NQSBE]] occurring in between #139 and #140. I think yours is the more likely interpretation, though (it comes from version 5 of email 139 or something). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

:: No, you did not answer my question with this. Why would its iTunes name be anything remotely resembling official? That's not its name on the site, and who uploaded it to iTunes anyway.

Any other mp3 player should be able to tell you the same thing. Coincidently, The Bros. Chaps must have used iTunes at some point in the production process, because the Encoded By string in the ID3v2 tag is "iTunes v6.0.4.2". --[[User:209.161.251.134|209.161.251.134]] 19:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

*Does this reference any particular video game?

***I don't think it refers to any video game, he's just making up a cheat code. [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 22:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
***I agree with Swimma Dan. The Metroid and Zelda references don't make sense because you have to press Start before hand. That's not Up, A, Start, that's Start, A, Up. And if we're going to accept Kirby's Dream Land, where it's Up, A, Select, then are we going to accept codes that go Up, B, Start, or Down, A, Start, or A, Up, Start? Unless someone can find a game code that goes exactly "Up, A, Start", I think this should be changed to a more general reference about video game codes. [[User:70.224.249.166|70.224.249.166]] 00:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
***Agreed, I figured it was just a generic cheat code thing, not a reference to a specific game. The Zelda reference might make sense, but I think the Kirby one is really stretching it (it's not even the same code!). As for the Metroid thing, I'm probably going to make myself sound really stupid here, but didn't Metroid use ''passwords'', not save files? At least the US version did. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 01:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
****Metroid did use passwords, Mr. Saturn. However, if you paused and hit Up+A on Controller 2, you would get brought to the password screen, and you can restart the game from there.

*****I'd have to agree with the Generic Game Code people. We could make a poll though {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 12:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
******Another point in favor of a reference to the Zelda games and Metroid is that it fits the context. In the games, you would want to save your progress using this trick before you went in to a dungeon or some place where you might die. In the toon, Strong Bad urges swimmers who have just eaten to do this before they reenter the pool, presumably so that if they died they could start again from the point right before entering the pool. If I'm not mistaken, that's part of the joke SB's making. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:38, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
*******"If they died they could start again"? I don't see that at all. To me, it sounds like he's just adding something ridiculous onto a list of other ridiculous things.

== Mr. Chek(h)ov ==

I'm pretty sure this is a double reference to both the writer and the Star Trek character. Yeah, they're spelled differently, but who ever calls Anton Chekhov "Mr. Chekhov"? However, Kirk did call his Chekov "Mr." all the time...
:It's not going to be TTATOT. If they were referencing Star Trek, they'd have spelled it Chekov. They didn't, so I doubt it's a ST reference at all, especially as Chekhov is even more famous. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
::Not only that, but Anoton Chekhov is someone Strong Sad would be reading. It's Strong Sad. I mean, come on.{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 07:38, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Yes. Obviously, Strong Sad would read Chekhov. So it's a reference to the author. But nobody calls Anton Chekhov "Mr.". That is obviously (I think) a reference to the Star Trek character. It's a joke. And I think that it's worth putting in the explanation because many people won't know what it's about. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I removed the Chekov reference based on points above. It's this, that and the other thing if it's a reference to both. And it's spelled like the author, not the navigator, so it's clear which was being referenced. Now, IF "Mr. Chekov" is included, I can live with it, but not without. Otherwise it's like saying that Monkey D is a reference to Sunny D, Tenacious D and Sandra Dee. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC) (Add: And by "living with it" I am saying I still don't agree, but can let it go. But we're a bit too generous in claiming what's a reference around here. Without an explanation of why "Mr. Chechov" might be referring to a guy with a differently-spelled name, it seems out of place and random, and reduces the knowledge-base-ness of the page.)
:Nice, we were working on it at the same time... I reckon "Mr. Checkov" is simply such an iconic name that "Mr. Chekhov" is an obvious reference for someone who knows Star Trek. And there have been made enough ST references by TBC that I believe they do know ST. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
::Yup; sorry Qermaq, but I gotta disagree with you on this one. If it's not a reference, it's a goof, and I'd like to think they know how to spell it. Plus, suppose they were simply thinking of Chekhov, and Chekov never entered their minds; why choose the "Mr." title? It's a strange choice for an anthology or biography. And it would be a stranger coincidence for it to mirror the Star Trek usage accidentally. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 16:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I left it alone simply because I can't think of another way to make sense of his line, but at the moment it's a purely anecdotal Fun Fact. If it's going to stay, it would be nice to have some kind of documentation showing that this has happened to more than one person. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 16:49, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::When I saw it, I immediately thought of Saved By The Bell. I've been watching the sbemails for a long time, and I hadn't remembered the pool. Even if they remembered that it was there, the average viewer has never heard of them having a pool, so for SB to say that the pool's always there and they use it all the time seems on par with suddenly announcing Bayside had an elevator, and it's been there all along and people use it all the time.

:I, for one, have heard of this prank as far back as sixteen years ago, and when I first heard it in junior high it was presented as something that had been making the rounds for quite a while. When we got to high school, we always joked about how the gag didn't exactly work there (because that building did in fact have an elevator, albeit not one open to normal student use). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:52, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
::Whether or not the prank exists, I don't think it could be a reference to that. Clearly, Strong Bad isn't pranking anyone--the pool does exist. He isn't selling pool items or fooling people. I never watched Saved by the Bell that much, but I immediately recognized what he was making fun of: places or things suddenly appearing conveniently, which happens as often in the Homestarrunner universe as anywhere.

== Einstein and Muffled?==
<blockquote>STRONG BAD: So later on anybody wanna get together a game of "Sharks and Minnows"? "Einstein and [muffled]"? "Pregnant and seventeen"?</blockquote>
It seems to me that Strong Bad says "Einstein and Kreskin," likely a refrence to [[wikipedia:kreskin |The Amazing Kreskin]].

:::The cheat is a pudge like thing. He has no feet, it kind of just has skin folds near the bottom of him. In order to swim forward, a normal person would need to kick their feet... apparently the cheat leans his bottom half backward and it causes a bend in him, making him look puffed up. He uses his arms to paddle. This also makes him look kind of like a boat. Regardless, I don't think he is inflated at all.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 06:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Ool, not Pool ==

== Marzi's green hair ==

Any chance that her green hair is a reference to Diff'rent Strokes? There was an ep where Kimberly washed her hair using acid rain water (which contained lots of chemicals, like the 'ool) and the result was her hair turned green. [[User:AcidHelmNun|Mike]] 06:25, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

:: Was I the only one reminded of that Falling Sand java game? The "plant" sand is green and burns away like Marzi's hair.
:According from a few posts in the forum, it's apparently a somewhat common real-world occurance for blondes to have their hair turn green from pool chemicals.
I don't think it's a reference to any particular TV show. My wife has very thin, natural blond hair, and when she was young and at the pool all the time, her hair would turn very green. It's a reaction to the chlorine in the water. So, it's not a problem limited to dyed blonds as the article currently states.--[[User:Eepiccolo|eepiccolo]] 15:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Nu-uh! Still the third wall! ==

The article currently states that when Strong Bad explains what Strongbadia is and is not, it is one of the most abrupt fourth wall breaks to date. There was a discussion over a similar incident a while back in the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:mile talk page for "mile"]. Basically, the Strong Bad emails are based on the premise that he is answering his emails for an audience. I honestly don't care that much about the consistency, but these are the kinds of things the wiki loves to bicker over.--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 16:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
:Yup. That's why I removed it. Even if it were a break, it's certainly not "one of the most abrupt to date", but it's not. What we're seeing qualifies as Strong Bad's imagination--characters aren't really blank spaces--and simply pointing out which location is Strong Badia and which are not... I have no idea how that's supposed to be a break. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:17, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
::I put it back. When I originally wrote it, I admitted it could be reworded, so if you see a way to fix it up then feel free. The break is ''not'' the part where we see the character cutouts. The break ''is'' the part where Strong Bad freezes the supposedly live "webcast", takes us on a trip around FCUSA, offers us a high five, and then restarts the action. Essentially he is speaking directly ''for TBC'' and addressing the real viewers—you and me—about an apparently common misconception ''outside the continuity'' of the actual email. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Just wondering--where is it ever stated that sbemails are live? [[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 23:34, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
::::You do have a point there — in [[Weclome Back]], Strong Bad was attempting to record a sbemail with a video camera. Nevertheless, that one uncharacteristically had "REC" and a flashing dot in the corner of the screen. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:38, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::Other instances include The Cheat's watching [[huttah]] on his computer. But never mind the "live" bit; it's secondary to my point. My point is that TBC, using Strong Bad, brought the email to a complete halt and directly addressed the fans in order to clear up something a lot of fans no doubt get wrong. It's also noteworthy that the little digression was not brought up in the rest of the email. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:47, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
::::::I thought that Strong Bad pointed out what Strong Badia was because he wanted to trick people into thinking that the pool is in Strong Badia. "In the pool that we've always had... that we use all the time..." reinforces this. This is beside the point of whether or not it's a FWB. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 23:56, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Sou' Sou'west or South Southwest? ==

In the second Easter Eggs, Strong Sad clearly says "sou' sou'west" instead of "south southwest". Is this a reference to something? I recall similar pronounciations for compass points in the movie "Master and Commander", is it old British Navy jargon? At any rate, I changed the transcript (without explaination, my bad) to reflect this contraction but it was reverted, so I figured I'd start a discussion topic on it.--[[User:Adrock|Adrock]] 20:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Twin Characters? ==

Does Strong Bad interrupting himself to explain what Strongbadia is count as an appearance of [[Twin Characters]]? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:15, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
:I don't think so. I think it's a fourth-wall break, discussed above. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
::From Twin Characters: "where a single character appears more than once in the same scene." That's all the description given. Why can't it be both? [[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 03:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Usually, in the Twin Characters instances, they tend to react to each other, I think. Strong Bad's pauses the action, coming up in a separate place entirely. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Agree with DG up above. It's a seperate instance of the same character, the original footage is stopped so that he can make a point and resume. They are in fact the same Strong Bad so it is not an instance of twin characters. Maybe the description should be updated so that it makes more sense. I imagine for the twin characters situation to apply they must react to one another or it must be done in a way so that both characters are in the same scene in "real-time." Or in other words, no pausing the action and then resuming like in this toon.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 05:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

== strong mad-nami ==

this might be too vague/general/overanalytical for a fun fact, but strong mad jumping into the pool is similar to the action of a tsunami, ie, you dont see the effect in deep water, only when the wave gets to the shallows does the compression lead to a severe rise in water level. just a thought. {{User:Csours/sig}} 05:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

== Redirects ==

Tom: I'm seeing some deletion of redirect pages on the deletion log. It looks like most of those pages will not be missed, but it does help to have some "common" misspelling articles redirect to the proper article. This is not for sloppy linking , as no pages SHOULD link to a redirect page. This is for people who come to the site, punch in a name into the search box and are taken to the correct page.

There is always some debate over what constitutes a common misspelling. I created a redirect from Whats her face to What's her face. This seems useful to me. Let me know what you think about this. [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 15:42, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)

:I agree. The ones I've been trying to catch are old links that were not fixed correctly during the move. Things like "MainPage 10" that were used instead of "[[Main Page 10]]" becuase of CamelCase on 'Tavi. The person who created that redirect then went ahead and created one for "MainPage 11", even though nothing linked there. I don't see the need for 21 pages to be created like this. Another example is "sbemail1" and its companions. There isn't a need for that.

:Of course, you also have to remember that we turned on case-sensitivity. That means that "[[What's Her Face]]" and "What's her Face" are also two completely different pages. I'd rather that a link show up in red and someone pick up on their mistake right away then have them continue to make links to redirect pages. But I suppose it would be very hard to keep a lid on things like this once we get going. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:55, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)

::Oh, Contraire! I have often wanted to be able to quickly type "sbemailxx" into the search box to find something quickly. I agree that old camel case links should be removed, but I see nothing wrong with shortcut redirects for the lazy. (I was actually thinking of adding these the other day, then stumbled across this thread. Sorry I'm a little late joining the discussion.) :) {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:37, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Sebastian Coe ==

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Coe 
''He first ran against Ovett in Prague in 1978 in an 800 meter race that neither won. The next year in Oslo, Norway, '''Coe set his first world records''' (in the 800-meter and '''mile races'''). One of the most famous races between Ovett and Coe was in the 1980 Olympic Games in the 1500-meters. Coe won in Olympic Record time.''

=== Further References ===
From http://www.geocities.com/hotsprings/3257/coe.html 
''He beat Ovett's mile record, running it in 3 min 48.53 sec on August 19; only a week later '''Ovett set another mile record, which was then shattered by Coe''' with a 3 min 47.33 sec run on August 28.''

Here are some of his times in the mile: 
''mile <nowiki>3'48''95</nowiki> 1979 Wr (Oslo)'' 
''mile <nowiki>3'48''53</nowiki> 1981 Wr (Zurich)'' 
''mile <nowiki>3'47''33</nowiki> 1981 Wr (Bruxelles)'' 
Note: Wr stands for World Record.

One final reference: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/World%20record%20progression%20for%20the%20mile%20run 

And a quote from you; 
:''"Hmm. [Coe] didn't really run the mile. And he never had the world record."'' 
Could you please cite your references?? As far as I can tell, he not only ran the mile, he also held the world record on ''three'' seperate occasions.[[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]

== Idea ==

How about desktop background downloads for the wiki? Anyone who wanted to create one could, then e-mail one of the admins the image. Then the admin, if approved, could upload it into the wiki images. It's just an idea, but I like the sound of it. I'd love to have an HRwiki background. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

:Hmm. I don't think so. The problem is this, the Wiki is just for information. If you want to make something on your own and then have it somewhere that you could link to from your userpage, that would be better. See, we kind of tread on this uneasy ground with copyrights and the like. Not only that, but there's also the content issue. I know a background that you would make would most likely be good and wholesome for the Wiki and for Homestar Runner, but I wouldn't want to encourage other not-as-good backgrounds to be made. You are always free to make your own backgrounds, keep them to yourself, use them on your computer, and do what ever you want with them.
:As of right now, I'll say this: I don't think you will ever have an official Homestar Runner Wiki background. But I'll ask around and see what I can do. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:43, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

::That's fine with me. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

== Floppy Disks ==

Since you apparently look after the floppy disk section mostly, I figured you would be the best person to ask. How do you feel about a picture of the floppy disk container and it's label beside every listing of it in the inside jokes section? I would be happy to complete that undertaking if you approve. Also, is there anywhere else I could add some pictures? I'm finished the rejects section.

-Thunderbird_L17

:[http://old.hrwiki.org/index.php?page=Floppy+Disk+Container%2FStrongBadEmailDiskLabels Floppy Disk Container/StrongBadEmailDiskLabels]. Check it out. The problem is this: the Wiki is text-based, and information provided through text makes things much easier to search and quicker to load. I'm not really sure that having a screenshot of every different one is needed. Why would it need to be seen by the viewer? Could they simply watch the toon or email instead? One thing that really needs to be done regarding The Container is having the links to the page standardized. Every Fun Facts section on every email and toon that has The Container in it should link to the Floppy Disk Container page in a uniform way. You could get started on that, if you want. And then there's what the disks actually reference. There's a subpage of the Old Wiki page on that needs to be copied over and gone through with a fine-tooth comb.
:Regarding the images, you kind of need to convince me why they are actually needed. Thanks for asking though, this has really gotten me thinking. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:31, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

Well since you already have the list of where the disk case occurs, it should be easy to find the toons to put the link in. I'll get on it later. As far as the floppy images go, I don't think they're NEEDED per-say, but I think it would be kinda cool. It lets people really VISUALIZE the floppys. They would be really small pics too, not full screen. But if you don't want them I won't put them there. As for other pics though, I have been kind of going through the sites putting pictures on everything, if you don't like any of them, feel free to take them off. I just think that any character, object, or place does need a picture to really visualize what the afforementioned thing is. Most of the pages I did only have one or two pics, with the exceptions of The [[King of Town's Castle]] place page, and the [[Tandy_400]] computer page. I kinda may have gone overboard on those ones. Look 'em over and decide. The [[Monkey_D]]'s page also have a few. If you don't like them you can fix them how you see fit. But the widescreen pic in [[Strong_Bad's_Basement]], I'm really proud of that pic. It took me awhile. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 22:24, 22 Sep 2004 (PST)

:Those four pages that you linked to are good. And that basement image is especially good. In some places, it borders on the line of being to much, but I think you played it well. They also could use some small tweaks, but that will all come in good time. As for The Floppies, I think you can make a seperate section on the page for the images and organize them in a table. I actually have all the images, and I can upload them later if you want to use them. (I use them for [http://members.lycos.co.uk/tfpreuss/avatar/avatar.php my avatar] on the forum.) What do you think of that? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:11, 23 Sep 2004 (MST)

Okay, it's up and running..ish. Access it from the regular floppy list. If you have the images, feel free to upload them. Any that you don't have, or don't feel like uploading, I can them. Just upload what you want, and I'll do the rest. Oh, and how do you feel about the naming of images in the Floppy_*name_of_e-mail*.PNG uniformity? You can name then however you want, but I think there should be some form of uniformity in naming the image files. Just tell me if this is okay, and if you're done uploading the images you want. Also, they should all be fullscreen screenshots, right?

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 11:10, 27 Sep 2004 (PST)

Alrightie. Update on the floppy disk container. I've been slowly working away at the Floppy disk container with screenshots page, no help needed there, but as I do so I realized another thing missing from the floppy disk container section, and an actual USEFUL thing, is a breif description and history of the games listed on the floppy disk containers. So that being said, I'm also plugging away at that in my little corner of the floppy disk page. If you would like the commentaries on the main floppy disk page too, which I think would be useful, please let me know so that I can add them to both pages as I go along. No rush though, it'll probably be a few weeks before I'm finished researching them and all. Let me know if you think this would be an improvement to the floppy disk page though. Generally I don't ask permission for editing things, but since you're the senior and keeper of the floppy disk container, I thought it was only fair to ask you. So what are your thoughts?

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 9:45, 6 Oct 2004 (PST)

:I do like the information on what the labels mean, and I wouldn't really call them commentaries. They are all pretty clear cut. Let's see how big they get and then play it from there. Keep them on that screenshot page for now, I don't want to violate [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:44, 7 Oct 2004 (MST)

Hiho. I've run into a roadblock doing the pics. In the e-mail 'lackey', how did you read, let alone get a picture, of the CD case? It's off the screen! Please let me know, or if you have the pic, simply save it as Floppy_lackey.PNG . Please let me know either way whenever. Thanks.

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 10:37, 11 Oct 2004 (PST)

:I used a program called [http://www.flash-decompiler.com/ Flash Decompiler]. It's a free download, so you might want to give it a try. Though I wasn't able to export the actual image, I was able to read the text. But you might have better luck than I did.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:41, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)

Sorry, I don't like treating you like an FAQ, I just have ONE last question. (Probably)...
I have the program, but how do you get the file onto it? It seems like you can only decompile files on your harddrive. Is this so? If it is, how do you get a flash file (SB E-mail Lackey) onto your hard drive? If it isn't, how do you get it from the interent? Last question, probably. I promise. Likely.

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 7:33, 13 Oct 2004 (PST)

:Down the bottom of each toon's or email's page, there's a link for the flash file. Just right click and choose "Save Link As..." or your browser's equivalent.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:57, 14 Oct 2004 (MST)

Thanks, I got it. What do you think of my floppy for Lackey? It's the best I could do... Anyways, I wanted to ask you about the once and only once policy. Though I agree that it's a good policy, I think that the 'see above' thing destroys the look of the summaries, especially once they are all finished. Plus, 'Manhunter New York' appeared in an e-mail at the top, then a toon way at the bottom. So it would be kind of hard to just say 'see above'. Plus since the picture is repeated, why not the explanation? You are the moderater, and whatever you decide I'll abide by, but in this case, since it's only for about 4 floppies, a number that's not likely to be increased, could I just repeat the explanations?

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 6:28, 15 Oct 2004 (PST)

:You know, I do like the idea of having the information on both. Let's try using a tempate instead. Do you think that will work?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:33, 15 Oct 2004 (MST)

Template? I don't know much about website formating or whatnot. Basically everything I do on the Wiki I learn by looking at how somebody else wrote a code, and then copying that pattern. But if you think the template or whatever will work, go ahead. You were right about floating the pictures to the left, making it into tables, all that kind of thing. Just do what you want, and if I disagree I can always revert. But overall I'm happy with what you do. Does this mean that I can put the repeat explanations on the few pictures though, instead of 'see above'?

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 23:49, 15 Oct 2004 (PST)

:Okay, here's what I did. I created [[Template:tongue of the fatman]], [[Template:lode runner]], and [[Template:manhunter new york]]. Check out the page to see if you like it. Now, there's only one place you need to go in order to change the content that will show up for both floppies.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:41, 16 Oct 2004 (MST)

Okay, that works. I don't really plan on editing them much anyways anymore, once the summary is there. But it looks exactly the same, so it's fine. Btw, I fixed the out of place 3.5 inch disk summary, I found a place for it where it fits nicely. Now nothing has two explanations, and the 5.25 inch disks don't have the same summary twice. (See Second 5.25 Inch Disk Summmary)

Hey Tom, I thought JPG format was to be used for videos and pictures, and PNG for all flash material. Plus I think the JPG looked clearer and brighter. If you really don't want it there, then I'll try another way, but I thought I read somewhere that JPG was preferable for pictures, just not for flash. Is the one JPG really that bad? Please clarify. Thanks.

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 06:30, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

:Ah ha. There's a little catch here though. We are talking about a screenshot of a movie or image, and not the actual image itself. Screenshots should always be PNGs. The only kinds of JPGs we should have are photos like [[:Image:TheBrothersChapsBandW.jpg]] or [[:Image:mattchapman.jpg]]. Perhaps an screenshot like [[:Image:puppetdween.png]] better illustrates what I'm trying to say.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 08:35, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

Okay, I getcha. Then I guess I'll just put it back on the old PNG one for now. Thanks. I guess if anything, it adds diversity...

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 19:08, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

Alright, I think it's finally done. I have one more little task though that I can't complete on my own. The three templates, Template:manhunter_new_york , Template:lode_runner , and Template:tongue_of_the_fatman are now unneeded, and as such should be deleted, right? I can't figure out how to. If you know of a way, be my guest. Or should they just be left peacefully, until the end of time? -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 09:40, 1 Nov 2004 (MST)

Sorry, I was just going to get breakfast when I finished my summary, and when I finished it I realized there was a stored version that wasn't there when I started. I didn't have time to merge them so I just uploaded mine, and I was going to merge them when I got the chance, which is now. I did notice the picture though, and already put it up. Sorry about that, I don't want to offend anyone. I'm going to merge them right now. I just figured if I put mine in quickly yours is still stored as a past edit, so that way they're both there if needed. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 12:21, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)

Actually, I never thought about NPOV. While I was doing all this, I used reviews as sources, it's easier to just take the opinions of the writers and condence them. But I think that meathod has given the summaries a multi purpose, to now give you a bit of background about the game for curiosity's sake, but also as a type of mini review, for those who are deciding whether or not to find and play them. It gives the summaries a critical and reviewish type feel. Now to go back and do them all NPOV'D would take some doing, and in my opinion I don't think would be as enjoyable to read. What do you think?

I moved the [[:Category: Strong Bad Email]] as a sub-category of [[:Category: Strong Bad Filmography]]. All the emails were in both categories when technically all SB Emails are part of his filmography by default. It cleans up the Strong Bad filmography nicely and keeps the all the emails grouped together. There is only one email that SB is not in, but due to this arrangement will still be included in his filmography, but taking the IMDB as a guide, if someone guest hosts the "Late Show with David Letterman" it is called "Late Show Backstage", but it still shows up on Dave’s filmography. - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 09:01, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

Strong Bad, Homestar, and Marzipan are in all of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]s, but I don't think that should be a sub-category of any one of their filmographies. I think it would not be confusing to have every email be directly in Strong Bad's Filmography, except [[anything]], just how it was. It would also be less confusing for someone just looking at any email and thinking to themselves, "Oh, this one isn't listed in Strong Bad's Filmography", since it does not show up directly on the page as it is now with the subcategory. That's really what it comes down to, that [[:Category: Strong Bad Filmography]] does not show up on the emails. Oh, and the "anything" thing too.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:56, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

:::Funny, the IMDB is a suitable guide to determine the precedent for a voice over. To me the Filmography categories are proving to be more trouble then they are worth and a misapplication of the original intent of the category structure. I understand wanting an automatically generated list for the 12 main characters that show up in everything, but it seems from all the other character pages that the Wiki users are more than capable of manually tracking the appearances of even the most obscure psudo-characters.

The stucture:
<pre>Character->Filmography->Strong Bad Filmography->Strong Bad Email</pre>

:::makes a lot of sence to me. SB is in all but one email, which can be explained by a note. If having 100+ emails cluttering the SB filmography and being unnessicarily duplicated in the email list and in the email category doesnt bother you, then it wont bother me.

::::Your presentation just now does make a bit of sense. I'll have to see what others think. Though on that other issue, as I understood it, the filmography categories were never supposed to be extended beyond the 12 main characters. Somewhere along the line, this was not explained well enough and the whole thing took off. I think there's over fifty filmographies now. I'd be happy to draw a line somewhere.

== Who's In Charge Of The Main Page Anyways? ==

Hiho. I'm not getting much of a response on the [[Talk:Main Page|Main Talk Page]], so I figured I'd go straight to the source, assuming that the source(s) are moderators. Anyways, here's my question. Who's in charge of the Main Page, not so much the look of it, I don't really care about that, but moreso the organization of the links to pages. Now I'm no moderator, but I was curious as to why the links are organized the way they are. Why are Inside Jokes part of Wiki Stuff, Yet Songs part of Knowledge Base? I've been thinking about the layout, and I belive I've figued out a good way of sortage, and am hoping for either a yes or a no. Either one, as long as I can maybe get some kind of explanation as to why they're sorted the way they are, should the answer be a no. Anyhoo, without further ado, I give you my sorting idea...

Basically it consists of the Knowledge Base containing ONLY the things listed on the H*R main page(s), and putting everything left over into Wiki Stuff. It would look something like this, and would have the added bonus of evening the two sections out, leaving External Links on the bottom...

(The Knowledge Base Stuff)

* [[Toons]]
** [[Strong Bad Email]]
** [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]
** [[Teen Girl Squad]]
** [[Powered By The Cheat]]
** [[Puppet Stuff]]
** [[Holiday Toons]]
* [[Games]]
* [[Characters]]
* [[Downloads]]
* [[Store]]
* [[Email]]
* [[Legal]]
* [[Main Pages]]
** [[Weekly Fanstuff]]
** [[Quote of the Week]]
** [[Sketchbook]]
* [[Museum]]
* [[Secret Pages]]

Then this to the right of it: (Perhaps the first part even in an additional section?)

* [[Places]]
* [[Items]]
* [[Songs]]
* Quotes
* [[Glossary]]
* [[Inside Jokes]]
* "Rejects"
(Perhaps another section here?)
* [[Special:Listusers|List of registered wiki users]]
* [[Links]]
* [[Sightings]]
* [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]]
* [[HRWiki:Ledger|Ledger]]
* [[HRWiki:Projects|Projects]]
* [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]
* [[WikiTroll]]
* [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|Welcoming committee]]

Then the external links in another catergory. Is there any problem with this layout? The idea behind it is that the first section are your main ingrediants, and the second one is things that you can make out of them. I just belive that things such as Rejects and Inside Jokes should be in the same catergory as things such as songs and items. Any answer to this would be much appreciated, and then I'll shut up about it. Thanks alot Tom. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 02:33, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I'm not really sure. Your line of thinking makes sense, however I'm thinking it is our system of classification that really seems to be the issue. Inside Jokes? Rejects? What the heck are those really? Things need to be clearly defined and a system needs to be implimentated to classify things.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:57, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

Hmmm... Thats a good point. Okay, well at least keep my organizational idea in mind as you go about implementing the changes.

== STUFF and Fun Facts ==

As you may have read I have an issue with the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page. I am very glad someone has spearheaded an attempt to control the "fun fact" problem, but I still think that the voting and discussion for disputed Fun Facts should be made on the article's talk page and not on the STUFF page.

If a controversial article like [[Wikipedia:History of Israel]] can exist on the Wikipedia by using the Talk page and without resorting to a common page voting system, I think the Homestar Wiki article [[virus]] can too.

Now that we have people's attention with the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page I suggest that we move content discussion back to the Talk pages where they belong.

I have created a preliminary template:disputed

It reads as follows:{{disputed}}

This could be used to let contributors know that there is a dispute, and to direct them to the talk page. The Disputed Fun Facts link should go to a page with the info that [[User:furrykef |furrykef]] wrote on what is and is-not a good fun fact.

People were not using the talk pages effectively in the past, which is a failure of us the users, not of the talk pages.

-[[User:Drhaggis|[[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]]] 16:35, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I completely agree that talk pages are not effectively used by our users. I did read your comment on the talk page and did like some parts of it.

:You mentioned there that the popularity of the "Stuff" page is typical of a sloppy discussion forum and not an article based reference guide. I indeed was amazed at all the users who were very interested in voting. It appears that a quick vote and comment is much easier than proposing fixes and improvements.

:You also presented the idea that this problem inherent mostly because the Homestar Runner Universe is finite. I completely agree. I also believe this is why some users, instead of improving on articles that already exist, create very small articles for very fringe elements of said universe. While I don't think that the Stool article may be one of these, I'm not entirely interested in proposing other examples at this time.

:While this may not be the time or place to discuss your other comment on that talk page about proper classification, I believe it would be important to address that issue with whichever system is accepted for the dealing with fun facts.

:As [[User:furrykef|Kef]] noted in his reply to your comment, the STUFF process was loosely based on Wikipedia's Votes for Deletion process. I do like Wikipedia's VfD process and have participated in it in the past, but as you may notice we don't have a system like this for dealing with the deletion of pages because we are so small. It works for Wikipedia but would simply would not work for us.

:Throughout my travels around Wikipedia, I have seen several pages with notices like the one on the [[Wikipedia:History of Israel]] page. While I don't believe the scale of discussions here will every reach such a level as that, I am willing to investigate the possibility of using such a system.

:If we were to adopt your proposal, I would want some sort of centrally located instruction page. As you mention, this could contain some of Kef's rules from the STUFF page. I'd also want it to list all the pages that are currently going through the process.

:Of course, your proposal is in direct conflict with the current STUFF system, which the users seems to have latched on to. I like your proposal, but I'm interested in hearing how you would implement it given the current circumstances.

:Thank you for being bold enough to propose an alternative.

Hi Tom! Thunderbird here again, with a special task for a few of my fellow users. On the [[Sketchbook]] page, in the [[Sketchbook#In The Museum|Museum]] section of that page, the last picture is a bunch of rejected halloween costume ideas. The caption gives the challenge '10 bucks to anyone who can identify them all'. So what I propose is to identify them all. I've already set up a basic 'top left to bottom right' type list under the 'Description' section, with the two most obvious costumes in it. But can we get the other costumes, and win ourselves $10?

== Rock Opera Context Note ==

Tom,

Hello. I hope your day is well.

I disagree with your moving the work left to do on the rock opera context page to the discussion page, for the simple reason that NOBODY will see it there. If it can't be on the main page, then it should be deleted altogether, as it is serving no purpose.

The point of putting up the note was to aid people in knowing which words were still missing and at the same time encourage those die-hard troupers out there to help complete the page (kind of like a game). You know who I'm talking about: that special someone who is gonna figure out exactly which "I" was used from "lackey".

Therefore, I believe the note should be reinstated at the head of the main page. Besides, it's only temporary... just till we get this thing done.

Kind regards,

Wiki users, especially the die-hard troupers you mention, know to look at Talk pages. That's what they are for.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:05, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

I see your point. I still don't completely like it, but at least I agree with you now. This particular page is close to my heart because I'm the one who set it up and got the ball rolling on filling in the words (although, I'll admit that ''someone'' would have done it eventually). It also happens to be the very first page I've created for the Wiki. I'm so pleased that the community has deemed the page useful and that they're helping to finish it with such vigor. I watch excitedly as each new entry is filled in. (I would do more research myself, but I've got this stupid ''job'' thing where I have to be if I want money. You probably know how that goes.)

Cheers,

==[[Strong Bad Email By Name of Sender]] Tables?==

I've put tables up on the A's and B's section of [[Strong Bad Email By Name of Sender]]. What do you think of this? Do you think it's better? Any suggestions as to how the tables should be better? Should I leave it as 'N/A', ''N/A'', 'None', or just leave it blank or something? Any input or blessing would be much appreciated. I'm just gonna leave it there until I get some kinda direction from a higher power (I.E., Mod). Thanks.

::I suppose as long as there is a link somewhere in the article there isn't any harm. But make sure the fun facts don't afford any additional information before you remove them.

==Redirectetiquette?==

Okay, I changed the links from Sketchbook to [[Museum Sketchbook]], and moved the page there. But I can't seem to move [[Weekly Sketchbook]] to Sketchbook.

:I'll be interested to see Tom's reply, because I'm pretty sure you can't have both an article and a redirect with the same name. But I also have a question for both of you: Shouldn't the museum sketchbook article be called <nowiki>[[Sketchbook (museum)]]</nowiki>, instead of <nowiki>[[Museum Sketchbook]]</nowiki>?

== MediaWiki Question ==

Hi Tom:

First, thanks for hrwiki, it rules and I visit at least weekly. If you browse to [http://jfwiki.org my new wiki] you'll see that I've stolen (respectfully appropriated?) some of your excellent help text and another thing or two. Wikisource comments give you props.

But there's something else I want to learn from you: how do you make fundraising or sysop announcements appear across the whole wiki?

Bowing humbly, [[User:spblat|spblat]] 20:42, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Never mind. MediaWiki:Sitenotice [[User:spblat|spblat]] 23:17, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::Yup, you got it.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:01, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Email ==

Whoa! Yes, yes I most assuradly do. Only every two or three days though, and my junk folder even less, due to the unholy ammount of spam I am bombarded with. But I just sifted through, and found it. I also added you to safe list, so all future emails from yourself will be replied to much faster. Come to think of it, I'm gonna go and add all sysop addresses to my safe list. ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 01:11, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Cool.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 01:15, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==Sysop Question==

Hey Tom, I have a question about the new Sysop abilities. Just how do I do the Recentchanges Patrol ability? And what exactly would I be viewing? Aren't edits instantanious? So how do I view them ahead of time? Thanks Tom. ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 03:24, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:When you view edits via the RecentChanges page by clicking on the "diff" link, you now have the option to "[Mark as patrolled]". This removes the red exclamation point on the RecentChanges list, alerting other sysops that you've checked out that edit so they don't have to.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:49, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::Sweet, That's useful. I was wondering what those red marks were for. Okay, thanks. ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 04:06, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::Actually, you can mark a change as patrolled if you are or aren't a sysop. At least, I could. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

::::::Generally, trolls != smart. But yes, any logged in user could mark any edit as patrolled.

== Format Help ==

(copying what's on my Talk page) Hi there -erson. I've deleted your "formathelp" Template and Category. If something is formatted incorrectly, just fix it.

:I realise that, however it is I that do not know advanced formating, d would like to keep this notes inthe pages I am planning to make.

::[[Help:Editing]] contains all the advanced formatting you should need to make a page. You can also use the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]] for practice and ask questions and request help from other users (I'd be happy to assist). The Cleanup template isn't really a note to future editors so much as a notice that a page needs work done on it.

I don't want to delete it or anything in case it is sanctioned, but I really think this needs a total overhaul at least, if not total deletion. Can't this thing just be covered under the [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts|STUFF]] page, or it's talk page?

Okay now. Just before I tell you my IP address, how do you find out your IP address (sorry, I've only been on HRWiki for 2 months or so, and I'm still trying to adapt and learn all thems weird whatsamajiggies you's abeen saying (like ''IP Address'')).

:There are multiple ways to go about it. One easy way would just be to log out and look at the upper-right corner of any page here on the Wiki, and it will tell you. Or you could go through your computer's settings. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:39, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

::It should be a seven or eight digit number or so, seperated by two periods. E.g: 43.202.18 or something. and Jay's right, the best way to find it is just sign out, and look on the top right of the wiki, or even just after signing out, leave a comment here that includes: <nowiki> ~~~~ </nowiki>, Which is four little wavy signs that will be on the top left of your keyboard.

:::Quite sadly, there's no such thing as a permanent ban. We can ban a particular IP address indefinitely, but ISPs assign users new IP addreses frequently, especially on dial-up. Banning any IP indefinitely is just as likely to block out legitimate users who inherit the blocked IP sometime down the road as it is to keep the troll from coming back.

:Homsar999: I didn't delete the page. You can check the [[Special:Log/delete|deletion log]] to see that [[User:FireBird|FireBird]] did. [[User:Trogga|Trogga]] marked it for deletion, probably because all it contained was "Balding Man's Living Room is where Balding Man lives. It is first seen in Senorial Day. We have yet to see the rest of his house." All I did was remove the links to the page from the rest of the Wiki.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:48, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== More Fanstuff Sysops ==
Do you think you and the other big admins could get a fanstuff sysop nomination going for the Fanstuff Wiki? There are only two active sysops there as of right now, and they get overwhelmed occassionally. For example, someone made a page that insulted a user and had profanity in the page title alone. Although several users find about it quickly and marked if for deletion, it stayed around for about two weeks before one of the sysops found it. It took even longer for the creator of the page to be banned. So... yeah, many users think more sysops are needed. Thanks for considering this, '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''.

:Okay. Consider it done.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:15, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Deleters==
How do you become someone who deletes useless articles? And what's a "Sysop"?

JoeyDay and Tom select the sysops, but the last time they did, all but one of the new sysops were nominated on a special page by regular users. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:06, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm not asking you, Jay. And even though you responded, you didn't answer the question! I was talking to Tom!

:Umm, yes he did answer both of your questions. The first one is answered by ''"JoeyDay and Tom select the sysops"'', and the second question with ''"sysops are the people who delete articles, as well as block abusive users"''. '''Anyone''' can answer a question set on a talk page, even if they were not the intended reciever of that comment. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 22:29, 10 June 2005 (BST)

:: It's a Wiki -- anyone can respond on any talk page. And Jay's answer is correct. To continue the answer, however, the way you get nominated / chosen for a sysop is by making significant, useful edits (like undertaking large formatting projects) and showing good judgement in both your own edits and in dealing with other wiki-users. Reverting from trolls is also a good thing to do. It only happens when the existing admins are looking for new ones, which I'm guessing won't be for quite some time. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 21:33, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm back, as promised. Are you around? I'm monitoring the IRC. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:32, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Hey Tom. I am making good progress:
:*[[HRWiki:stuff test1|A mock-up article]]
:*[[Template:STUFF/stuff test1|The resulting STUFF subpage]]
:*[[HRWiki:Select_The_Usable_Fun_Facts/stuff_test3|The index (which will become the STUFF main page)]]
:*Plus all the templates so far

:Yet to do:
:*Organize/polish the instructions
:*Create the templates for closed facts
:*Have other users test the ease of use
:*Convert current items to new format

:The hardest part isn't figuring out how this will work. The hardest part isn't even figuring out how to streamline the process to minimize keystrokes and errors. No, the hardest part is figuring out how to explain it so that novices can understand.

== Admin Nomination ==

I'm sure we're not looking for any new sysops after this thing in April, but I think [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] would be a great sysop. He seems to be working harder around here than any of us sysops anyways, and he always seems to have good judgement. I'd love to have him on the team. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 22:47, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I can't remember the specific instance, but in the last day or so I've thought to myself, "Isn't BazookaJoe an admin?", so whatever was going on at the time must have been good. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:17, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I always forget that he ''isn't'' an admin, because he uses the same "reverted from (whoever) to last version from (whoever)" message. I guess he types it in manually... {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 00:29, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::True, but he has only been around for a little over two months. There are some users that have been around significantly longer that I think are also deserving of sysopness. I do like the guy, and would be happy if he became a sysop, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Admins leave it a few months yet before opening another Nomination Window. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:46, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Question ==

On the picture of you are you the one on the left or right I'm guessing you're on the right because the left one looks not happy, but it doesn't look like matt because of the hair.

:I'm in the Duck Shirt and jacket. [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] (not [[Matt Chapman|Matt]]) is in the red shirt with the scarf.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:37, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::And it isn't that Mike is unhappy... He apparently just takes [[User:DaChazman|bad pictures]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:16, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for answering my question guys, and uh that link to bad pictures looks like Matt is wearing that same shirt as the picture on this page.

:Yeah, they were taken less than five minutes apart at the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|NYU Talk on Mar 1, 2005]]. In fact, you can actually see a bit of my head in the background of DaChazman's photo.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:57, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Forum namespace ==

How come there's not a convenient external namespace for the forum? You know, so that <nowiki>[http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?t=XXXX] could be replaced with [[Forum:XXXX]]</nowiki>, or something similar. How's our bandwidth lookin'? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:04, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:That's not a bad idea, I'll look into that. Though you should probably remind me after next Monday. Our bandwidth is still looking, but I think we are down to the final hours here.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:04, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Will do. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:::Here is the reminder you requested. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:17, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::Done. Example: <nowiki>[[Forum:15|thread 15]]</nowiki> becomes [[Forum:15|thread 15]]. Oh, and just so I remember for next time, they are interwiki links, not namespaces.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:52, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== On the wiki ==

I'm working on the transcripts as fast as I can... what, do you think I eat, sleep, and breathe Homestar Runner... don't answer that. ;) Seriously, we're working on them. But having Mike mention that he read something on our wiki has got to be the ultimate prize for us. It's like, poring over all the crazy details that we do has, in a small but significant way, paid off. I think we should permit ourselves in this case to announce it in big, bold letters. Or at least in italics. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:12, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Goofs vs. Typos ==

"Goofs" are mistakes TBC make; for the purposes of our discussion, ''Strong Sad'' made these mistakes. We don't note mistakes Strong Bad makes in his emails as Goofs; rather, we note them in the Remarks. Since there were enough of Strong Sad's mistakes for a whole section, I changed it to "Typos". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:07, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I'm not really the guy who would know the difference. I only made that change for two reasons:
:#"Typos" isn't one of the ways we categorize Fun Facts. [[HRWiki:Standards#Fun Facts|Goofs is]].
:#The Francis Scott Key fact is a Goof. I knew it wasn't a typo, so I changed the header to Goofs for lack of a better choice for that particular grouping.
:That being said, the Key fact is probably the only one of the four that are currently under that header that really is a Goof. The typos by Strong Sad should probably be moved to another section. Maybe Remarks?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:35, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Goofs may be our standard category, but we are flexible enough to accomodate a special category on a toon-by-toon basis. For example, [[50_emails#Homestar.27s_attempts_at_DELETED|Homestar's attempts at Deleted]]. I think these should be grouped together since there are several of them. How about "Strong Sad's Goofs", or "Strong Sad's Mistakes", or something similar? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:42, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== You are appreciated ==

I was looking over your talk page, and it's been way too long since someone wrote to tell you thanks for all the work and maintenance you put into the site. Thank you! I was propted to tell you this today when I saw that, simply by my uploading an image, you created a new template to replace the makeshift GFDL blurb I had on the image; created a new category for other existing, similar images; and then sought out those five other images that should be in the category and added the template there as well—all within the blink of an eye! I would hope that we all make the wiki experience a little better for those around us, and I must say you certainly do that. And then some. Sincerely, [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

Oh, well that's a problem. It was on a poll on the second Fanstuff Forum, which is offline for an indefinite amount of time. (it seems that its host quit) I'll create a new poll if you want me to, but I don't think that's nessecary.

Hey, Tom. I was just wondering why you ended up blocking IP 64.9.51.190. I looked at what happened, and it turns out that his addition to [[H*R.com updates]] was correct.

== Username redirect ==

Hi Tom, while JoeyDay is out, I'm asking you this: Can I have a userpage redirect to mine? I was thinking about [[User:Elcool]], because my freinds sometimes look for me on the wiki, not by my correct name. Some other users could use a redirect with common misspellings. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 13:23, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
:It's not unheard of... [[User:Thunderbird]] redirects to [[User:Thunderbird L17]]'s page, although I dunno if he got permission for that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::E.L. Cool, this leads to an interesting line of thought. We could take this in two directions:
::#We do not allow users to have redirects from common misspellings etc. to their correct username. We never have allowed someone to have "two" userspaces, and this would go along with that semi-policy. Then, someone comes along and registers [[User:Elcool]] and starts making edits. Someone like [[User:It's dot com]] or myself would then approach this user and ask that they choose a new name, since the one they chose is too close to the existing user [[User:E.L. Cool]]. (This comes to mind because it happened [[User talk:It's dot org|quite recently]].) Then I suppose we'd block the [[User:Elcool]] account so it wouldn't happen again. At that point, if you came and asked if you could have that page redirect to your own, I don't think I'd be able to say "no".
::#We do allow users to have redirects from common misspellings etc. to their correct username. We'd probably want to set up a process for this, however, because if people just started doing this willy-nilly, we might get people registering for usernames that were already redirects. We'd want to make sure what ever names were redirected where blocked as well.
::I also don't think I'd want this to become a normal thing, where everyone and their grandmother goes and thinks of all the possible permutations of their username and then goes and makes dozens of redirects. I don't think it's altogether too common that this kind of thing would happen.
::DorianGray, the redirect you bring up has a different intent associated with [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Thunderbird&action=history its history], and at this point is an exception.
::So at this point, hold off on doing anything for a while. I'm going to want to get Ben's input on how we should handle it, but as of right now, it looks like it could happen. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::I have pondered similar issues to this one in the past. I am open to the idea, although I agree that to just turn everybody loose would not be the best course to take. For one thing, I don't like having user pages that don't correspond to a username in the database. I would like to consider how the problem might be solved elegantly (along the lines of a Special page or something) versus creating and blocking usernames that will never be used.

:::::Because it isn't built on strictly canon material.

::::::What does that have to with the Fanstuff showing up in search engines? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 17:15, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::[[User:It's dot com]] is correct, but the reasoning behind our decision was slightly different. The fanstuff wiki was only created to appease a small minority that wanted fanstuff brought back after we decided not to bring it back when we moved to MediaWiki. The Admins didn't want the fanstuff wiki, but relented due to what I can only call persistent whining. One of the conditions of our creating fanstuff was to make sure that search engines did not index it. This was for two reasons:
:::::::#We are very protective of the HRWiki name. We do not administer fanstuff closely enough to control the quality of the content.
:::::::#And as It's dot com mentioned, we don't want anyone searching for actual Homestar Runner knowledge to be confused with what they find there.

________For more information on English, you can go to the wikipedia article at [[Wikipedia:English]]

____________For information or if you need help on the information for archiving information then you can contact me or someone who's an administrator here (I don't know who they are).

:First of all, Tom ''is'' an administrator here, and I'm sure he's fully aware of how he could archive his user page. It's not lack of knowledge; it's just a personal decision on his part, which he's free to make since his [[HRWiki:User space|user space]] belongs to him. Second, if you just learned how to use the Home and End keys you probably wouldn't find this so inconvenient. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 16:59, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

== MediaWiki Software Related Stuff ==
Two things:
#Do you know how the New Messages bug was solved? I'm having the same problem on a wiki I own.
#I had a discussion on #mediawiki with [[Wikipedia:User:Robchurch|Robchurch]] about deleting users. Here's the main part of the conversation:
<blockquote>
<Super_Sam> If you have database access to a wiki, it is possible to delete usernames? 
<robchurch> In theory. 
<robchurch> You can delete users without too many repurcussions. 
<Super_Sam> What about gaps in the history? 
<robchurch> Well, the users will still be credited for the edits. 
<Super_Sam> So, under history it'll show the user, but the user won't actually exist.
</blockquote>
I proceeded to test it out on my wiki (which also uses MediaWiki 1.5). By deleting the user from the "user" table, the user was effectively deleted (couldn't log in and no longer in the list of users), while edits by that user remained in history (including block logs). However, the user remained in [[Special:Ipblocklist]] until they were also deleted from the "ipblock" table. This method should also work for the NSMC accounts.

{{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 07:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

:Hey Super Sam. Yeah, I would like to clean all that garbage out. I'm going to do a couple of other maintenance things before I delete all the usernames. I hope to be able to get to it in the next couple of days. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:06, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

== Help-Policy ==

Hey Tom, I wanted to ask you about [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Category:HRWiki_Policy&diff=266540&oldid=246251 this edit]. The reason I had made the [[:Category:HRWiki_Policy|Policy category]] a subcategory of the [[:Category:Help|help category]] was that I wanted users who were browsing the Help category to be able to see the Policy category and browse its contents right away. I reasoned that having the Policy Category have greater visibility would be preferable (even if no one reads anything really). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:09, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

:The [[:Category:HRWiki_Policy|Policy category]] is a subcategory of the [[:Category:HRWiki Maintenance|HRWiki Maintenance category]]. The [[:Category:Help|Help category]] is also a subcategory of the HRWiki Maintenance category. The Help category shouldn't be a subcategory of a subcategory that's in the same category as it (the Help category) is in. In other words, we want HRWiki Maintenance --> Policy and HRWiki Maintenance --> Help and not HRWiki Maintenance --> Help and HRWiki Maintenance --> Policy --> Help. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:02, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

::My original idea was that the Policy Category be a subcategory of Help, not the other way around. So we'd have RWiki Maintenance --> Policy and HRWiki Maintenance --> Help --> Policy, so that anyone browsing help can see policy and (hopefully) decide to browse through it as well. But it's really not that an important of a detail. Thanks! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:13, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

== Mirror: ==

Remember how you asked me on IRC to list all the files we mirror from other sites? Well, [[User:E.L. Cool/mirrorlist|it's done]].

== Images ==
Hey! I be Seriously, ack for a limited time only! I'm on the wooky, and I was wondering what the difference between images were. For example, what does PNG mean what does JPG mean? What's the difference between them? We don't really have an image policy yet, and I would like to create one. If you don't feel like answering all of these questions, is there some page that does? Thanks a lot. {{unsigned|Seriously|00:31, 23 March 2006 (UTC)}}

Oi Tom. Whenever I log on, I never tend to see any of the Admins/Moderators on. It's pretty weird. I still remember when I was new to this place, there were Admins and Mods on all the time! But I rarely see any of them anymore.
[[User:Sanjuro|Sanjuro]] 01:07, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

:We have lots of [[Special:Listusers/sysop|syops]] on at all times of the day. Unless you refer to the [http://forum.hrwiki.org/ forum], where we have probably slightly less (but still plenty of) moderators on at various times. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 01:18, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

::Yay. Another forum to join. I hope I can make time to post there often.

Was just trying to fix dead links. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:45, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

:There's no reason to do that, really. Leaving "red links" in context is often helpful. Not to mention that editing other users' comments is often frowned upon and can at times change the intent of a message. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:49, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

::Well I'd hardly think turning a dead link into plain text would change a message, but I appreciate your advice. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

== Thank you for explaining the target links. ==

I didn't know that you could use the id attribute with target links.
There seems to be a bug in my web browser that is preventing it from rendering the target links on that page. It renders most target links correctly; it worked with the test page I made in the sandbox.
I kept editing the T-shirt page because thought that it must have been something wrong with with the code, but it appears the only problem was in my browser. I just checked the T-shirt page in Firefox and the target links work just fine in it.
Sorry for editing that page so much.
Thanks again,
[[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 07:54, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

:Sure, no problem. What browser was/is giving you the trouble? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 08:01, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
::Safari 2.0.3 (the latest version at the time of writing). I've sent in a bug report with a link to "http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Store_T-Shirts#tshirt_bear-shark". Hopefully they'll get that fixed soon. [[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 09:08, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

== wikkitikkitavi ==
So I find out we're regrading the software yesterday. I was really excited to actually see everything in lockdown. But I was even ''more'' excited to see pages in 'tavi. I thought you guys were redirecting us to Ye Olde Wiki for the time being because it was a major regrade. '''But I edited'''. In 'tavi. It was truly amazing. I thought it would not be permanent. But now we're here. How long will this be? Will we ever return to the land of recent changes and move logs? ''Ever?'' I hope we do. I'm just amazed to witness such an event. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 14:11, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Can you Explain? ==

I'm still wondering on why you blocked Darth Kantana X. Can you fill in a little? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 02:54, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
:Darth Katana X continuously made derogatory comments toward the wiki on several discussion pages, even after being warned by Tom to stop. If you need some examples, look at [[Special:Contributions/Darth Katana X|his contributions]]. They shouldn't be hard to find. :-S - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 03:11, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
And I'm not entire sure if this'd interest you Tom, but Darth Katana X has made something of a [[HRFWiki:User talk:Darth Katana X#Blockage at the knowledge base|retaliation]] on the Fanstuff Wiki. ...and then I kind of told him my feelings on the matter, but anyway... uh, yeah... just keeping you informed. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 03:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
:I'll simply say that Tom's actions here were, in my opinion, entirely merited and totally in the best interest of the HRWiki. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:19, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
::Ditto. I, like Qermaq and Joshua, have kindly (for the most part) explained to him your meaning. He ahs realized, but it's tough for him. Being blocked for a month when you are as committed to the wiki as much as he is is practically unbearable. Believe me, I know. But he's learning, and that's good. Although eventually Super Sam, to stop the fighting, threatened to protect the page. Once again, keeping you informed. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

== RE:Disrespect ==

I wasn't trying to be meen. I was just puting him on my userpage. In memeory of him. Sorry if that was wrong to do. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 21:31, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

:I didn't say it was mean. I said it was disrespectful. Either way, like It's dot com said, even if common sense didn't tell you that it was completely inappropriate, the fact that a sysop removed it should have given you an idea. You are treading on very thin ice and your disregard for several other policies of our community has all of us keeping a very close watch on your edits. Be careful, and I'd advise you that in the future, if you have even the slightest doubt about an edit you are planning on making, you bring it to the talk page first. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 02:22, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

== Timestamp ==

How do you get your timestamp to appear in your time zone? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 17:41, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

:You can't fix timestamps. You can only make the time displayed on recent changes in your local time by setting it in your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 18:48, 22 April 2006 (BST)
::Look at your own timestamp {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 17:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Yes, I entered that one manually. You can't customise the timestamp created with <nowiki>~~~~ or ~~~~~</nowiki> though. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 17:52, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
::::Dacheatbot: We actually don't want people to use their own time zone in timestamps on talk pages (or STUFF or wherever), as this is quite confusing. Having everyone use the UTC standard gives us an absolute time to refer to, and only requires one conversion (that is, you just have to know what your time is relative to UTC, not how your time zone matches to some unfamiliar abbreviation). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
:::::I've been using a UTC clock script in my monobook.js to make timestamp comparisons more convenient. You can get the script at [[Help:UTC clock]]. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
::::::That doesn't work for me. Maybe it's my browser, I have Safari.{{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 01:00, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::::What timezone are you in? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 01:19, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Pacific. But the clock doesn't even appear and now my customized user bar won't work.{{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 04:37, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::Try this: take every UTC time you see and then subtract seven hours in your head to get the time in your time zone. And when [[Wikipedia:Daylight saving time|daylight saving time]] ends later in the year, just remember to switch to subtracting eight hours. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:45, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

== So, what — just specify a different category? ==

<blockquote>That was just the best one available, if there is a more appropriate one feel free to switch it out. Ideally I think there should be a video screenshot super category, and have tv, film, vodcast etc subcats, but I am not personally very active in category space. - cohesion 08:11, 28 April 2006 (UTC)</blockquote>

So, what — just specify a different category in the template? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 16:32, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

:See, my issue with that tag is that it was created to be a very general umbrella that fit over a whole bunch of stuff. We know exactly where each one of our screenshots are coming from, namely homestarrunner.com, an Internet site. We don't have all that other stuff to worry about here. The same arguement can be applied to {{tl|character-artwork}}, sure, the images are character-artwork, but they aren't from a comic book, video game, or animated television program or film, they're from homestarrunner.com. I don't think continuing to use {{tl|web-screenshot}} is a problem. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

== Homsar: banned on IRC ==
Hi, Tom. Nice to see you. Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering about Homsar999. He says that he was banned from the IRC channel. He says he was banned because he impersonated Lunar Jesters as a joke. He also says, however, that you and JoeyDay think he impersonated many more people. I usually would have no reason to not trust you and Joey, but Homsar999 has always been nice to me, and he seems to have a good sense of judgment. If you can, can you please elaborate on the situation so I won't have to keep choosing sides between my friends? Thanks a lot. Sincerely, — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:Yes, he is banned from the IRC channel. No, he wasn't banned just for impersonating Lunar Jesters. Yes, Joey Day and I know that he impersonated many more users. I don't really care if he has been nice to you or not, and I certainly don't care about your character assessment of him.. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 02:33, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

::That's fine with me. I just wanted to know the info so he'll stop drilling all this stuff into my head about you and JoeyDay being evil and such. I'm really glad that you managed to shed a bit of light on the situation. Thanks so much. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 16:41, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

:::In your first post you stated that "he seems to have a good sense of judgment." Here you just stated that he drills stuff into your head about myself and Joey being evil. So despite his constant insistence that the two of us are evil, you think he has a good sense of judgement? So you think his assessment that Joey and I are evil is correct? If you don't like us or this website, please feel free to leave. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:22, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

::::I didn't say that I hated the website, and that I thought he was correct. He just seemed like a nice guy. It was only ''after'' you had first replied that I told him about your comment, and it was ''only then'' that he called you guys evil. I listened to you and JoeyDay, thus, he went kinda crazy. Now that you've cleared things up, you've also cleared up the fact that he does not have a good sense ogf judgment. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 17:38, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::I did not say that you said that you hated the website. I merely drew logical conclusions based on the information available to me. I knew that you stated that you trusted his judgement and I knew you stated that he insisted that Joey and I were evil. You did not tell me the sequence of events until just now. Also, you led me to believe that he had told you on more than one occasion that Joey and I were evil because you used the word "drilling" which in the way you used it means something done repeatedly over a period of time. I implore you from this moment forward to ''always think before you type'' and to not leave out such important information. Do not exclude facts that are relevant to the topic at hand. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:54, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

== Pic on Userpage ==

If the above topic is finished, I would like to ask, which person are you, the one with the orange top or black sweater? {{User:Count X/sig}}

:See [[:Image:Mike Chapman and Tom Preuss.jpg]]. Why do you ask? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 08:04, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

:: Seem a little curious. {{User:Count X/sig}} 11:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

:::What? Do you mean that I seem a little curious? Or that you are just curious? Or that the image is curious? I know that you are curious because you asked the question. I am curious about why you are curious. The picture isn't curious, it's a picture. I'll ask again: Why did you ask which person I was in the picture? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 08:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

:::: Buh? '''I''' was curious. Your question is probably answered!!! {{User:Count X/sig}}

:::::Thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't aware that I needed to make the jump from the "Seem a little curious." that you said to the "I was curious." that you meant. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:14, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

''{Strong Bad says "Not even close," very quickly after "Your bestest buddy in the whole wide world," and says "UK" as, "You 'kay?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah I'm fine, Gary. Calm down. Of course I've got the internet. How else could I download this awesome animated gif/gif of a cute breakdancing rodent. ''{Pronounces "gif/gif" as /gif/, /jif/}''

''{A progress bar pops up with a ding that says "11% Complete" with "Less than a fortnight remaining" below}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' WHAT??!! Eleven percent? I started downloading this thing like two days ago! Oh that's IT!! Hold on to your fat, sweaty D&D playing headsets, tech support. 'Cuz Strong Bad's about to Do-Sum-Bow-Dis!

''{The camera rotates around the Lappy to a rear view as Strong Bad picks up the telephone. There is a phone ringing sound and the screen is split by a phone cord with Homestar Runner in the office on the left and Strong Bad on the right. On Homestar's cubicle wall there is a Post-It Note that reads "Note to self: Chew more." Homestar wears a headset.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thank you for calling the internet, may I have your account number or identity theft, please?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but you can have a heapin' helpin' of my unbridled rage!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{reading slowly from a sheet of paper}'' Ma'am, please calm down. Your CD tray is not a cup holder. ''{turns page}'' I cannot help you clear your browser cache. No, I'm not in India. ''{puts paper down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up and listen. ''{bangs hand on keyboard}'' My internet is crawling along like... something... funny... that crawls along.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, I can help you with that. Please hold while I transfer you to someone who can help you with that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{incredulous}'' What?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Doo doot-tsp. Do doo doot-tsp. Do doo doot-tsp.

''{Cut to a long shot of the office as Homestar stands up. Homestar is the only visible tech representative.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{still singing}'' It's the hold music, do doot-tsp. Pa doo doot-tsp. Doodoo doo doot-tsp. ''{high pitched voice}'' Hold music!

''{Cut back to the splitscreen as Homestar sits down.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thank you for holding. Your call is very unportant to us. The next available representative wi—okay, I'm back! Lemme just verify your address so I can send you my weight in free sign-up CDs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, enough! ''{bangs hand against keyboard again}'' I'm marching my pasty white bwahttom down there to talk to the man in charge!

''{He slams the phone down and walks offscreen during Homestar's next line.}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad marching across The Field at dusk as march music plays in the background. Strong Bad ends up at Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad from inside the concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now listen here, old man Bubs! What's the big idea of throttling me down?!

'''BUBS:''' Throttling you down?! That's not one of the ninety-nine ways I rip you off!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, back in the day I used to connect at twelve-hundred baud, but ever since ''the merger'' I'm lucky if I get twelve baud.

'''BUBS:''' Hmm.

''{Cut back to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' Let's head down to the datum center and see what we can find.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dat'um sounds good.

''{Cut to the garage which is currently housing several computers with Bubs' face on them and is sporting a sign labelled, "Datum Center".}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{indicating the computers}'' So this is where the magic happens. I wonder where the trouble could be.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Yeah, I wonder.

''{Camera pulls back to reveal a computer with a garden hose sticking out of it and smoke issuing from the back}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's probably not this computer with the garden hose coming out of it.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[wikipedia:Baud|Baud]] is measure of the symbol rate made to the transmission medium per second in a digitally modulated signal, however Strong Bad makes a common mistake by confusing it with "[[wikipedia:Bit rate|bits per second]]"
*[[wiktionary:datum|Datum]] is the singular form of the word data.
*A [[wiktionary:fortnight|Fortnight]] is a period of two weeks. The word "fortnight" is most often used in the UK, which is where the e-mailer is from.
*[[wiktionary:Bandwidth_throttling|Throttling]] is a limitation on a computer's ability to call data from a server within a certain period of time, and is used to alleviate network congestion and server crashes that result from too many incoming connections.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time Bubs has been seen openly laughing. He previously suppressed his laughter at "Da Bee" in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].

===Remarks===
*It is unclear how Strong Bad is connected to the Internet - there does not appear to be a network cable plugged in to the back of the Lappy, and it is unlikely that the computer has a wireless connection. However, it is possible that Strong Bad's Internet connection works in a similar way to the [[Disconnected Telephones]].[[Image:Lappybackside.png|The lappy's back pannel]]
*The [[Wikipedia:GIF|GIF]] file format does not support any form of sound on its own. The animation that Strong Bad downloaded is either not a true animated GIF, or it is embedded in a webpage that also contains embedded sound.
*When Homestar says the word "internet" after he first answers Strong Bad's call, he speaks without his trademark speech impediment.
*If it took two full days (48 hours) for the download to reach 11% completion, assuming the download speed doesn't change, it would actually take 16 days to finish download, not less than a fortnight as the Lappy suggested. This assumes constant rate of download, which is seldom the case in reality.
*Bubs refers to Strong Bad as his lone internet customer. It is unknown whether Free Country USA has other ISPs, but Strong Sad, the Cheat and Homestar all seem to be connected to the internet too. However, The Cheat and Strong Sad would presumably use Strong Bad's internet connection since their computers are in the same residence, and it's possible Homestar gets his connection for free as an employment benefit.

===Goofs===
* The last time Homestar imitates the hi-hat noise in his hold music, his mouth doesn't move.

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad first unsuccessfully attempted to alter his voice in [[helium]].
*Strong Bad's confusion over the pronunciation of the word "GIF" is a reference to [[website]].
**Strong Bad was also first seen using an animated GIF involving a rodent in that email.
*We first saw a pumping hose in [[lunch special]].
*The Easter egg at the end refers to [[Bug In Mouth Disease]], which in turn refers to [[Theme Song Video]].

Dear Strong Bad, 
Since you answer emails, you must have some sort of internet, right? What kind of internet to you guys get in Strong Badia? Who runs it? Is it expensive? 
Your bestest buddy in the whole wide world, 
Gary, UK
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Not even close," very quickly after "Your bestest buddy in the whole wide world," and says "UK" as, "You 'kay?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah I'm fine, Gary. Calm down. Of course I've got the internet. How else could I download this awesome animated gif/gif of a cute breakdancing rodent. ''{Pronounces "gif/gif" as /gif/, /jif/}''

''{A progress bar pops up with a ding that says "11% Complete" with "Less than a fortnight remaining" below}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' WHAT??!! Eleven percent? I started downloading this thing like two days ago! Oh that's IT!! Hold on to your fat, sweaty D&D playing headsets, tech support. 'Cuz Strong Bad's about to Do-Sum-Bow-Dis!

''{The camera rotates around the Lappy to a rear view as Strong Bad picks up the telephone. There is a phone ringing sound and the screen is split by a phone cord with Homestar Runner in the office on the left and Strong Bad on the right. On Homestar's cubicle wall there is a Post-It Note that reads "Note to self: Chew more." Homestar wears a headset.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thank you for calling the internet, may I have your account number or identity theft, please?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but you can have a heapin' helpin' of my unbridled rage!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{reading slowly from a sheet of paper}'' Ma'am, please calm down. Your CD tray is not a cup holder. ''{turns page}'' I cannot help you clear your browser cache. No, I'm not in India. ''{puts paper down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up and listen. ''{bangs hand on keyboard}'' My internet is crawling along like... something... funny... that crawls along.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, I can help you with that. Please hold while I transfer you to someone who can help you with that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{incredulous}'' What?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Doo doot-tsp. Do doo doot-tsp. Do doo doot-tsp.

''{Cut to a long shot of the office as Homestar stands up. Homestar is the only visible tech representative.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{still singing}'' It's the hold music, do doot-tsp. Pa doo doot-tsp. Doodoo doo doot-tsp. ''{high pitched voice}'' Hold music!

''{Cut back to the splitscreen as Homestar sits down.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thank you for holding. Your call is very unportant to us. The next available representative wi—okay, I'm back! Lemme just verify your address so I can send you my weight in free sign-up CDs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, enough! ''{bangs hand against keyboard again}'' I'm marching my pasty white bwahttom down there to talk to the man in charge!

''{He slams the phone down and walks offscreen during Homestar's next line.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm so glad we could get that resolved. Is there anything else I could—

''{Cut to Strong Bad marching across The Field at dusk as march music plays in the background. Strong Bad ends up at Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{as the camera zooms in}'' Well if it isn't my lone internet customer. How's e-business?

''{Cut to Strong Bad from inside the concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now listen here, old man Bubs! What's the big idea of throttling me down?!

'''BUBS:''' Throttling you down?! That's not one of the ninety-nine ways I rip you off!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, back in the day I used to connect at twelve-hundred baud, but ever since ''the merger'' I'm lucky if I get twelve baud.

'''BUBS:''' Hmm.

''{Cut back to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' Let's head down to the datum center and see what we can find.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dat'um sounds good.

''{Cut to the garage which is currently housing several computers with Bubs' face on them and is sporting a sign labelled, "Datum Center".}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{indicating the computers}'' So this is where the magic happens. I wonder where the trouble could be.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Yeah, I wonder.

''{Camera pulls back to reveal a computer with a garden hose sticking out of it and smoke issuing from the back}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's probably not this computer with the garden hose coming out of it.

'''BUBS:''' Hey! Somebody's suckin' up all my bandwidth!

''{Cut to a hole in the wall with the garden hose running through, then outside to Strong Mad sucking on the end of the hose. Strong Bad and Bubs walk up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad!

''{Startled, Strong Mad takes the hose out of his mouth. His mouth is now tiny.}''

Do you want to do, like, a novelization or something (e.g. "Bullets whizzed overhead as secomd lieutenant Strong Sad crawled on his stomach through the muddy trenches toward his inevitable demise") or did you want yo do something else? Let me know when you get the chance.

your mother is the speed limit,

[[User:Homsarroks|Spanky the Argentinian Crocus]]

:My mother is the ''MPH'', Homsarroks. But yeah, it'd be cool for it to be like a book. You're example sums it up perfectly. But what do you want? I'll set up the page and begin it as long as we've agreed on something.

Your mom is a funny comeback,

[[User: Seriously|Wacky the purple raccoon]]

:Ohyeah—Taco Salad of my dreams made this awesome image: [[Image: Battleofstrongbadia.png]]. Can we actually edit the image and change it to fit our standards? — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:20, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about the image, but I think that it would most definitely be awesome if we could novelize it. Maybe we could put in some historian interviews, too, like "The Homstarmy's defense was indeed valient, but it failed under the continued onslaught of the mighty fighting force known as The Brothers Strong--Harbet J. Pickerwallow" or something. What say you?

The couch must run,
[[User:Homsarroks|Approximately the left nostril]]

::Totally. I think we just need a name and we're trhough with planning and on with making. I'm thinking it should be "Behind the blockades: The history of the battle of Strongbadia and it's rebel opponents, The Homsarmy". Now ''that'' sounds a-prettypretty good.

The dog must light up,

[[User: Seriously|Enough to make a baby watch television]]

Hmm... How about "Hold the Line: The Battle of Strongbadia Story." That sound good?

Clip around the hornet,

[[User:Homsarroks|Your wig reminds me of Julia]]

:Nah. I think mine's better. Althoguh I like hold the line. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 01:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Maybe "Hold the Line: The History of the Battle of Strongbdia." A two way compromise. Aye or nay?

Debunking the chives,

[[User:Homsarroks|Squeaky the Endive Mauler]]

"Hold the line: behind the brigades of the Homsarmy and the battle of Strongbadia". Keep that. I think that combines the two even better. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 01:59, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Maybe the brothers strong instead of the battle of strongbadia. I mean, the battle of strongbadia was the fight itself, not one of the sides. But other than that, yes. Definitely yes.

Greenly atrocious,

[[User:Homsarroks|Bobitha]]

"Hold the line: Behind the brigades of The Homsarmy and The Brother's Strong in the historic battle of Strongbadia." I'm gonna say that's something we'll both agree on. Let's start on the fanstuff. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 02:27, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

== Talk pages ==
Seriously, while I agree with you on all bases (the plural of "basis"; look it up) of what you said to The thing, you have been asked repeatedly not to interject advice about the "right way" to use the wiki, in particular when all you're doing is reiterating what a sysop has already said. How is it, exactly, that we're not getting through to you? The ability to speak with authority does not happen overnight. Rather, it is earned with time and good contributions. Especially time. Right now, you are continually overstepping your authority. If you don't stop this behavior, I'm going to restrict your ability to edit talk pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
:By the way, I'm just kind of dropping in here: I've been on the wiki a lot less since early February, and it's clear that I'm a little behind; reading between the lines on your current user page I can kind of reconstruct some of what I've missed. First of all, don't worry about taking time off from the wiki, and don't feel the need to make it a matter of leaving "forever" (unless you sign an oath in blood). Perhaps it would be more productive to give yourself some kind of wiki-limit, like only editing on Mondays, and then only on the new cartoon's page. Secondly, making mistakes and annoying people isn't necessarily so "melodramatic," as you put it; at least, it shouldn't entirely surprise you. It's called being human. Now, if you find that you're making a ''lot'' of mistakes in short amounts of time, it might mean something. In your case, I think it probably means slow down. If you're trying to drive at 60 mph with no headlights, you're probably going to run over some things; if you try to wiki at 60 mph the results are similar. By "slow down" I don't mean just wiki ''less'', though that have therapeutic benefit; I basically mean '''chill'''. I can't tell you how often I see something, start to reply to it (or revert it), and halfway through, close the tab. At that point I either thought "It isn't worth the effort," or "If I say this I'll be starting an argument over something that isn't big enough to deserve one," or "What I'm saying just doesn't really need saying," or "I'll wait and see whether others feel the same way, and maybe ''then'' do something about this." So if necessary, take a wikation, but I ''do'' hope you'll be back. Despite whatever adventures I've missed, I ''do'' think you're a user with a lot of potential and desire to learn. (The desire doesn't always make learning ''easy'', but it's sure harder without it.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 01:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

== Leaving...? ==

Y-you're leaving?...Holy crap...well, Seriously...I-I don't know what to say. In case you do leave, I just want to say goodbye. You said you haven't made many great contributions, but trust me. You have. I mean, I haven't done much greater. And I'm not just being modest, Seriously. Contribution-wise, you're my equal. I respect you for everything you've done to help out around this place. I not only found some great contributions made to our Wiki, but also made a great friend. As much as I often can't trust people I meet online, I learned I could trust you, you 11-year-old you. And all that stalker business...don't worry, man. I agree with every bite-sized piece of it. Well, that's really all I had to say. Nice doing business with you.

As taken from my Fanstuff talk page:

<blockquote>I like teenage Homestar's blog. Ver funny so far. However, I see a few spelling errors. I'd like to be the sort of "editor" for the blog if you don't mind. It'd be great—you'd just have to write the rough copy, and I'd spellcheck it. I'm really good with grammar.

In reply to your posts on [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki_talk:2006_Spring_Pledge_Drive&oldid=288837 HRWiki talk:2006 Spring Pledge Drive]:
<blockquote>Is Agentseethroos name really that necessary? It's not like he goes on anymore. It's kinda stupid that someone pretty much nonexistent on the wiki is thanking us for our nonexistent pledges. By that, I only mean that we haven't had the chance to pledge yet, not that nobody cares. — {{User: Seriously/sig}}

:Yes, his name is as necessary as every other administrator's name. Please do not concern yourself with whether he is active or not; he is still an administrator. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 23:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

::::::You know what I find strange? Your constant poking of your nose into matters which do not concern you, even after repeated requests not to do so. Why does it matter to you who is listed as an administrator? You think it's ''stupid'' that his name is there? How could you find it ''stupid''? Do you even know AgentSeethroo?
::::::Or is this just another attempt at getting attention, just like all this stuff about you "leaving the wiki"? Because as [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:DBK&diff=263895&oldid=263077 you yourself have said], it's very annoying. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:36, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
I did not mean stupid. I should reword that a bit. I just meant that it was a bit odd. No, I do not know AgentSeethroo. I wasn't trying to say anything personal. All I mean is that pretty much everyone agrees, he is currently inactive. I trust [[User: Lapper/sysops|Lapper's sysop list]] to give me the correct info, as he is a sysop. It matters to me who's listed as an admin because it might confuse users into thinking that AgentSeethroo might be back, which is sadly not true as I have heard he is a wonderful contributor. I'm not trying to "get attention", making a simple edit doesn't help me that way. Also, while I have left to get attention in the past, I have found that it is hard to leave the wiki. This time I realize I've spent way too much time on here and gotten way too obsessed with it, thus, I left. I'm just staying for the weekend because I have nothing better to do. Honestly, (and I'm saying this in the politest way, although that is probably futile) does that really concern you? I'm not trying to "get attention", okay? You couldn't be farther from the truth. I hope that answers all your questions, and I wish you good luck in your future wikiing. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
:The problem isn't that you asked about Seethroo (it's a legitimate question, if you ask it right); it's the manner in which you did it. You should know by now that to use words like "stupid" and "nonexistent" carry a completely different emotional weight from just "inactive". Also, I was a little taken aback by some of [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3AHomsarroks&diff=287891&oldid=287064 the first couple of posts] you made after your one-day break:

Seriously, i need help, whats happened to the Wiki, are you still there, i'm trying to talk to It's dot com, but he has a fragment error or something, gelp whats going on??????????

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 23:38, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
:The wiki has recently moved to a new server. This means that yes, it looks very different. It also takes a crapload of time to get used to. Lots of other users have found this out, sadly. The only thing you can do is try to get used to the new way it looks. It's dot com put the flagrent system error up there as a joke because it is April Fool's day. However, you can talk to him by going to this link: [[User talk: It's dot com]]. I'm sure he can explain it to you better. I'm really sorry it had to turn out this way. Hopefully, you'll try out all the new links and it'll be easy to get used to. By the way, I have a new sig for April Fool's Day: — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:41, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

What happen now, wiki is back to normal (Call me Homsar, but i somewhat miss the different wiki, is there a link to look at it)? and what happen to your userpage?
:I blanked my userpage for April Fool's Day. It turns out the whole WikktikkiTavi thing was a joke. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 13:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Please stop editing others' user talk pages. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:03, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== The Municipality ==

Hey there, Venusy. I'd just like to let you know why I reverted your upload of [[:Image:Disconnected Easter egg.PNG]]. The bigger you make this image, the more pixelated it's going to become. Being already rather grainy in the first place, along with the fact that we really don't need it that much bigger, the upload wasn't really necessary. Thanks for your contribution, though. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:Try looking at [http://www.hrwiki.org/images/archive/b/b2/20060313214153%21Disconnected_Easter_egg.PNG my archived version], and clear your cache. It's bigger, and without pixellation (except that already present on the smaller image). At least on my PC. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 21:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

::Apparantly, [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]'s and my eyes were failing. The image looks fine now. Feel free to re-upload this image. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:01, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Sometimes (often) when you upload a new image, the old image stays in your cache. Since the HTML contains the width and height of every image, your browser will dutifully show the old (cached) image, scaled up to the new size (which looks awful when the new image has a different aspect ratio to the old one). A hard refresh (on the image page itself, and on a page which has it as a thumbnail) fixes things. <code>action=purge</code> is generally *not* necessary. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

== Reverting vandalism ==

Hey. Are you able to revert these all yourself? I don't want to confuse you if I'm intruding on your system. I can't do a whole lot right now. If you are able to, revert them all and TBD them.

== Piped Links ==

Hello,
Thanks for catching my errors with Piped Links. I'm new to HRwiki (or any wiki for that matter), and I'm still learning the formatting and etiquette details. Thanks!

== Coach Basketball ==

Venusy, thought I'd point out to you - when you wrote " If Coach B is considered a costume, then basketball head Coach Z should be, regardless of if his head is a basketball, or just jammed into one" you made an error. Coach B is a Character Variation. Does that change your vote? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:[[#Char var|See below]]. And this doesn't change my vote, as I'm assuming Coach Z has somehow got his head stuck in a basketball rather than his head becoming a basketball. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 18:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

== Char var ==

Hey Venusy. Regarding [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:candy_product&curid=21298&diff=291905&oldid=291901 this edit] of yours, I just wanted to point out that [[Zubs and Coach B|Coach B]] is a variation, not a costume. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:19, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
