Okay. Who was logging me off? —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 12:50 31 March 2006
:Most likely the settings of your browser or computer. Specifically, if you want to stay logged in between visits to the site, you have to have cookies enabled, though if you just randomly found yourself logged out in the middle of a visit there might be something more complicated going on. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

::Hi. That happened to me a few days ago too, no idea why. Cookie must ghave expired or something. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

==Images==
How do you upload images? I would like a picture of me to put on my user page. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 10:46 2 May 2006

:Please see [[Help:Image]]. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 14:49, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

::The image I tried to upload was bigger than the size recommended. Is there any way to make it smaller? —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 11:26 2 May 2006

:::You can resize the image in a program such as [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]], and/or use the size attribute when coding the image: <code><nowiki>[[Image:Image.png|150px]]</nowiki></code>. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 15:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

::::Was that the image you were going for, or would you like some help with it? I could remove the extra white from the image if you'd like, as well as stretch it to a usual looking ratio. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:48, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I would like the extra white to be removed. Thanks. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 21:22 2 May 2006

That was the image I was going for. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]]
*And I would like to be stretched to a usual looking ratio. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]]

Guys, I don't know how to stretch the image to a usual looking ratio or remove the extra white myself. Can someone please answer this. —[[User:2Fast2Furious]] 20:46 4 May 2006

:I'm sorry, I totally forgot about this conversation. I'll get right on it. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:49, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

::That's the best I can do without access to the original image. What program did you use to save that file? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:53, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I went the Adobe program and trimmed the image. Then, I copied it onto Microsoft Paint. It still exceeded the size recommended for the wiki, so I had to shrink it some more. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 7:28 5 May 2005

== Fanstuff ==
Hey, if you want to post fanstuff, you need to take it to the [[HRFWiki:Main Page|Fanstuff Wiki]]. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 14:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
:Yes. This is not the place to include [[Wikipedia:Aloysius Snuffleupagus|Snuffleupagus]] or any character from another show in the toons. [[User:Uncle Jim|Uncle Jim]] 23:46, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

== Editing talk comments ==

Hey Cedric. Thanks for being willing to help find and fix spelling mistakes, but except in rare cases, we don't edit the comments made by other users in talk threads, even if they have mistakes in them. You are more than welcome to find mistakes in articles. In fact, you're encouraged to do so! :) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:47, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

== Changing username ==

Changing your name is fine, but to do so, please log in ''as your old name'' on [[HRWiki:Changing username]] and put in a change request. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

== Weclome back! ==

Hey, glad to see you're staying. Just a FYI: typing "rv/v" in an edit summary is shorthand for "reverted/vandalism" so all the mods will be peeking to see who vandalized your page. I bet you didn't know that! Well, that's cool, you do now. Hope all is well. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:49, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
:Cedric, that was rude! —[[User:Mariusz|Mariusz]] 00:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure what I did that you thought was rude, but you didn't have to blank my user page. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 00:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
:I'm telling Mr. Lehr! And leave [[Wikipedia:Hilary Duff|Hilary Duff]] alone! She's ''my'' girlfriend! —[[User:Mariusz|Mariusz]] 01:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Why are you leaving, Ced? --[[User:Bill Hart|Uncle Bill]] 23:10, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:It appears I'm not a very productive user. --[[User:2Fast2Furious|Ced]] 14:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, everyone makes mistakes. My edits got reverted, too. --{{User:Bill Hart/sig}} 14:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== Editing others' talk posts and userpages ==

Hello, Flashfight. It's not our practice to edit others' talk page comments and userpages casually, even to eliminate redlinks. Thanks, and talk atcha later. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:52, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, sometimes we use redlinks as placeholders or for other reasons, and in those cases they shouldn't be removed. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with fixing ones that were made in error. For example, if you want to fix [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Special:Recent Changes|Special:Recent Changes]] (shouldn't have a space) and [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Special:contibutions/Orange Star|Special:contibutions/Orange Star]] (should have an ''-r-''), then go for it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

== Relation ==

Flashlight,what was that for?! Homestar and Homsar were seen at Bubs' Concession Stand.[[User:Katonator 3000|Katonator]][[User Talk:Katonator 3000|3000]] 06:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
:But that has nothing to do with their relationship. I personally am seen standing next to possibly dozens of people on the train every day. And likewise that is not any indication of our relationship. — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 06:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
::Actually, I quite agree with Flashfight here. Characters appearing together is not indicative of a relationship. This is something I've been saying privately for a while, as I could not find an appropriate place to bring it up. Several other relationship articles suffer from this as well (for example, Marzipan and Homestar talking together in [[helium]]. So they're having a conversation. I don't think that's really a relationship reference). And the looking old one even less: they just happen to be waiting in line together. In short, interaction does not necessarily make a relationship. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:24, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
:::I disagree. Having been a nerd all my life, I know that any girl who talks to me for more than 5 seconds is secretly in love with me, hence it is a reference. But seriously, naw, that's stupid, and one of these days i intend to purge those pages of anything but actual relationship indicators. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:43, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
::::Wouldn't it be easier just to purge all these relationship articles from our beloved wiki? Or at least most of them? — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 17:12, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::No. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:18, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

== About Edit Warring ==

Hi there Flashfight. I ''was'' about to give you a speech about the wrongs of edit warring, regarding the links on [[TrogdorCon '97]] commentary. When getting the links all ready for my post, I just then noticed that you didn't remove the links to the toons, but moved them to their right place. Some people use user talk pages mostly to discuss things that the user did wrong. But sometimes it's also good to comment when things done right. Well, this is one of those times. Good job for settling a minor edit war in the cleanest possible way. Even if you think it's just a minor thing, you did the right thing. Continue to enjoy editing, {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

== Your Sig ==

Nice job on the sig. I would like to point out, however, that the green medal image in your sig is just slightly too tall. Reducing it to 12px in width or less will make it so it conforms to the policy of 20px (max) in height. Please see [[Help:Signature#Images]] for more info. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 05:31, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks, I had thought that was going to be a small issue, I'll make sure to change it was quickly as possible. Signing out for the ultimate time with an unregulation sig, I remain {{User:Flashfight/sig}}

== Grouchy ==

I'm Brian Barbera, and Flashlight is grouchy. The reason I say this is because you reverted my edit made to the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]]. Yes, you are grouchy. --[[User:School of Rock|School]] 20:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

School of Rock:

In a place you only dream of 
Where your soul is always free 
Silver stages, golden curtains 
Filled my head, plain as can be 
As a rainbow spread round the sun 
All the stars I've loved who died 
Came from somewhere beyond the scene you see 
These lovely people played just for me

Now if I let you see this place 
Where stories all ring true 
Will you let me past your face 
To see what's really you 
It's not for me to ask these questions 
As though I were a king 
For you have to love, believe and feel 
Before the bust of tambourines take you there

[[Wikipedia:Green Grass and High Tides|Green grass and high tides]] forever 
Castles of stone souls and glory 
Lost faces say we adore you 
As kings and queens bow and play for you

Those who don't believe me 
Find your souls and set them free 
Those who do, believe and feel 
As time will be your key 
Time and time again I've thanked them 
For a piece of mind 
They helped me find myself 
Amongst the music and the rhyme 
That enchant you there 

Green grass and high tides forever 
Castles of stone souls and glory 
Lost faces say we adore you 
As kings and queens bow and play for you

{{shortcut|OFTENAPPEARS|OA}}
'''"Often appears in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]"''' appears too often on the Homestar Runner Wiki. In far too many cases, the ''entire'' introduction consists of some variant of this vanilla phrase plus maybe one more sentence. Thus, we have scores of articles that are essentially nothing but lists. While it's important for us to be as comprehensive as possible with regard to our subject matter, surely these articles could be improved first by removing this tired phrase and its ilk and second by expanding the introductions into something more meaningful. This project page is being set up to determine whether we as a wiki feel that this is enough of a problem to take action on, and, if so, how best to go about it. Please comment on the [[HRWiki talk:Often appears in the Homestar Runner universe|talk page]] if you have an opinion or some suggestions.

School of Rock: /* Remarks section, red band trailer note */

== Klown Kare ==
This page needs some serious klown kare, and not just the funny kind. No, I'm talking DEATH METAL KLOWN KARE! Y'know, cause I heard of this band with a clown mascot or sumtin. Whatever, just fix it! --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 11:19, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:The page doesn't look too bad to me, but I cleaned some of it up. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 11:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

::Could we also get a different image to match the current caption or give the current image a different caption? Seriously, the line is ''not'' said at that part, and you don't want the Bros. Chaps to use the current image when they post the email on Podstar Runner in the next few months, do ya? --[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 14:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

== Missing Scene Transcript? ==
What about the scene that follows the film-rating screen where Strong Bad attempts to get into a movie he isn't old enough for, along with Bubs and Coach Z? This article seems to end just before that scene. What gives?
:on it, y'all --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 17:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

== Explaining the R ==

Does someone want to take a stab at explaining how this is kind of a twist on how before movie ratings had the NC-17 designation, they got an X rating, but there were XXX ratings as well, but there was never any official explanation to the public as to what the difference was between X, XX, and XXX? It really does seem to be based on this, as despite TBC's strong desire to not reference pornography directly, their blurry "RRR-movies" is clearly a reference to the early days of cable with the blocked out pornographic channels, which was also when the X vs XXX issue was public.--[[User:64.193.79.137|64.193.79.137]] 20:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
: For reference, there is not and never was an official "XXX" rating - according to Wikipedia (and some other source I read in the past) adult movie makers deliberately gave movies an "XXX rating" on their own to make their movies look even more enticing. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:38, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
::The only rating that exist is the X-rating. However, you have to pay money to have your movie be rated, so adult movie makers just add in an "XXX rating", both to make the movie exiciting, and to save money sending it over to the review board. Nobody has given an "XX"-rating movie, because it just sounds plain dumb.--[[User:149.169.205.74|149.169.205.74]] 18:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Right...I'm aware of both of those...but at the time, there were all sorts of unofficial explanations thrown around. (Remember, this is before wikipedia, this was back in the days when there wasn't a ready available source of answers on popculture.) And, at the time, explaining the difference between an X rated a XXX rated movie included all sorts of weird claims. Yes, it was pure advertising, but the assumption of those who were looking felt that there was some basis for the rating. And yes, I've never heard of a XX movie either, but in the urban legend explanation, I assure you, people were coming up with classifications for them. --[[User:64.193.79.137|64.193.79.137]] 20:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

== SB's dad? ==

I'm probably reading way too far into it, which is why I'm not putting it on any article, but how telling is it that he says Coach Z "only ''kinda''" looks like his mother, but says nothing about Bubs's [[Family Resemblence|resemblance]] to his father? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

though TBC makes Coach Z and Bubs seem like the equivalent of say, HOmestar and Marzi or Strong Bad and The Cheat (at times) I would bet money that Strong Bad did not mean to make any refrence to Bubs looking like his father. Yes, it sound like you were reading a ''bit'' to far into it. (I hope that this makes sense...) --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 00:38, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

== Posters ==

yo's, can somebody start trivia-ing and inside reference-ing the movie posters? --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 17:34, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
: Aren't the movie posters the same ones as the RRR-rated movies SB had only just mentioned? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
: Oh, oh, OOOOOOHHHHHH!!! You meant the people ON the posters. Wight, wight. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yes, but there seem to be some hidden jokes there. For example, I did catch [[Cherry Greg]] listed in the credits of one film. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I also caught [[A. Chimendez]] on one of them. I think it was the second. -{{User:YK/sig}} 17:49, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

== Fists of One-Through-Twenty Four ==

would the fists of knuckles series be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Rocky (film series)|rocky]], which is not only a fighting series, but is the prototypical--and unless i am mistaken, the most made-fun-of--"too many sequels" series...? --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 18:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:I think it's more a reference the the myriad kung fu films with some variation on [http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=fist+of|"fist of..."] for a title. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 21:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== Coach Z, fuh-ree-kee! ==

Coach Z ''really'' wants to be a mom doesn't he? First it was [[garage sale|garbage sale]] and now this! He is ''confuuuuuused!''

-Alex H.

== Scrambled ==

has anybody unscrambled the image on the tv at the end? I don't even know if it's possible, but it looks like there's a puppy in it.[[User:64.244.131.194|64.244.131.194]]

:Here's two images from the decompiled Flash file. That's as good as they get in the actual toon. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

::The top one looks like it has Trogdor's beefy arm in it, and the bottom one reminds me of the snowman from the [[Wikipedia:ClayFighter|ClayFighter]] series. I'm sure they're both coincidences, though. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:28, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:::If you invert the colours, the image becomes more clear. A minotaur-like man weilding a bone against a black-haired fellow in jeans can be pieced together from both pictures. They need to be, um, degaussed or something to fully restructure them. Something that requires technology beyond my grasp. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

:::::Hm... Minotaur-like man? Weilding a club? Against a man? On Homestar Runner? Asking many question fragments? Or is that me? Anyway, mayhap it's from [[Peasant's Quest Trailer]]? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::For reference, when I hit the "edit" button to reply to that, the slightly-unscrambled picture wasn't present. I'm not entirely sure whether I was right or wrong with my guess, seeing it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

:::::::And the bad cable smote the Kerrek, and all was laid to staticnation. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Though Kerrek looks a LOT less menacing in that picture than I usually imagine him. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:05, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Mayeb that's why we only see him in extreme close-up in the trailer.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:24, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::What I think it is, it's just Mike (or some other actor?) with the Kerrek head costume menacing Matt in the peasant robe, holding Jhonka's bone. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::I went into photoshop and fixed it a bit more -- THe Kerrek isn't the one holding the bone, it's Matt that's holding it. I went ahead and replaced the image with my version. [[User:Yadaman|Yadaman]] 12:10, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::Nice work! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:35, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== Rating card confusion ==

Um, it says in the Trivia section that green rating screens are only for G-rated screens. [http://www.souleropposite.com/images/mpaa.gif Not true]. --[[User:Abelhawk|Abelhawk]] 21:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:Noted and removed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

It's still not quite accurate. The green cards are given when the trailer itself is approved for all audiences, even if the movie is PG or R rated. Red (and yellow) cards are for instances where the ''trailer'' is restricted.

:Good point. A side-note, the band, in this case, should actually be yellow. Since previews for "certain audiences" (as stated in toon) or "age-restricted" (as in real life) previews on the internet are this way. However, it's hard to even state that as this rating card says "the following FILM" instead of "the following PREVIEW" as it should. Multiple non-important errors are present in that card. But not really a big issue. The current revision of this Trivia tid-bit is fine. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 21:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

::Except that it's factually incorrect. Updating. [[User:Wfaulk|Wfaulk]] 23:24, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

:::Hold on a second here. The rating screen is NOT for a trailer. It's for the actual movie. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

The trailer rating card color is in reference to the trailer's appropriateness. An R-rated movie could get a green card if the content is appropriate for play with films of any rating. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_%28film%29 or the movie "This Film is Not Yet Rated."

:Above comment, ID your responses, thank you. The current revision is totally incorrect. The card itself states it is appropriate for 'certain audiences' although not to be taken seriously, literally it is incorrect. As stated on wikipedia, internet trailers for only certain audiences (age appropriate) are to be yellow. I suggest total removal of this item as people can't seem to get the correct information here. And as Jay states above, this isn't really a rating for a PREVIEW it is for a FILM. The Film as a whole. Again, removal would avoid any further confusion and debate. UPDATE: Removed and noted as such. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 15:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::I would have to wholeheartedly disagree. I view the humor in Homestar as very similar to the way I view the humor in [http://www.xkcd.com XKCD]; and I think the wiki facilitates that. What I mean is, I don't know how many times I've 'kipediaed the punchline of and xkcd comic about programing or science or whatnot, and actually learned something practical. I have never felt the need to google something that was referenced on H*R because I always knew that I could ''use'' the wiki, as well as contribute to it. I think this information is something worth noting for the simple facts that it is:
# Interesting
# Factually Accurate
# Relevant to the Cartoon

It is important, nay, necessary for the continued useful of this Wiki that facts such as the one in question stand. If I can't find out about the colors used for different ratings of movie trailers on HRWiki, what hope is there left for this community. {{User:Flashfight/sig}}15:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

:The problem with item #2 is that different users' understanding of the wikipedia entry is different. It's technically an internet trailer not for all audiences so shouldn't it be yellow? But wait, it's not labeled as a PREVIEW, but the card is labeled as a FILM rating (RRR). The errors in this card make any logical comparison to a real life rating card impossible, hence why I suggested removal. In the case of this card, the color can be whatever the Brothers Chaps want it to be since it is not formatted like an official mpaa rating card. This fact makes any trivia we insert, incorrect no matter what info we put in it. I also recommend adding an 'in-progress' or 'being debated' banner (unsure if hrwiki has the debate banner) to this section so it is not constantly being changed back and forth. The item should remain off until the debate is settled. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 16:17, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

=== Neutral Wording ===
While we don't have a debate banner, to my knowledge, I would have to say that the information you just laid out, about the MPAA color system, about how this is a preview banner not a film banner, is exactly of the ilk that would make a good fact. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 16:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

:Not a bad idea. A properly neutral trivia point could be nice. Something along the lines of "This toon uses a variation of the MPAA rating card (<-link) used for movie trailers." That, of course, could be expanded to include more info, or one could just rely on the wikipedia link to provide the info. Anyone feel free to expand on this idea, just don't use my exact quote please. Thanks {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 16:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Hmm, now we get down to wordsmithing. Maybe something along the lines of
*The Rating Card used is model after that of the <'kipedia link> Motion Picture Association of America </'kipdedia link>; however the colorized cards are used for trailers, as opposed to films themselves.
**Also, the rating of 'certain audiences' would suggest a restricted rating, which are colored in either yellow or red, as opposed to the unrestricted green used here.
Actually, I kinda hate that wording, but I'm going to throw it on the page, and we can tweak it from there. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 16:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:Nice! That's not at all bad. I think it is quite neutral. Nicely done. It could be tightened up somewhat I think, but I'll let you ponder that since this is your quote. Again, I like it. Oh, and of note, I fixed a small typo, 'model' to 'modeled.' {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 17:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== Come Back When You're All Growed Up ==

Is it a Rugrats reference? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 01:20, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:Could you explain what about this is referencing The Rugrats? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::The Rugrats had another series a few years ago under the premise that the Rugrats had grown up to become preteens. The name of the program was called something like "Rugrats: All Growed Up" {{User:Flashfight/sig}}
:::It was called [[Wikipedia:All Grown Up!|All Grown Up!]], but the Rugrats special it was based on was called [[Wikipedia:All Growed Up|All Growed Up]]. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 10:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Hmm... I guess. On one hand, it can go right into the [[Nickelodeon]], but on the other, it's not one of the classics that TBC probably growed up watching. I'm on the fence on this one. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Do keep in mind that Cardgage does not say "All Growed Up". There's a clear (well, for Cardgage) "L" sound in there. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:40, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== Perhaps a delete-heads reference? ==

the easter egg with strong sad and homsar a delete-heads refance perhaps?
:In what conceivable way? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::That was my first impression upon viewing this, it was very clear that Gron Sad and Homsar [both card carrying Deleteheads] are engaged in fan clubery. Whether that's worth a mention of not is debateable, but I definitely agree that the connection is there. {{User:Flashfight/sig}}
:::Homsar and Strong Sad are friends way before we ever saw the Delete-Heads. So unless they are wearing their hats, I think think it is safe to say it is not a reference. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Interesting talk thread though. There's nothing in the toon to pin it down, but it's an interesting thought. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 20:02, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== What is that fweaking wooowd? ==

I hear Bu-hubs say "Trina," not "Gena" (which I've never seen spelled as anything but "Gina" anyway). I was thinking it went along with the Women's Pen (etc. etc.) star, but that poster may have just biased my hearing. Can somebody with better tech skills or more-awakeness than me slow down the audio and check? In the meantime, I'm-a gonna change it m'self. -- {{User:Onamuji/sig}} 14:23, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:Frankly, I heard Tina. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:23, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, "Gena" is the more familiar spelling to me, but I heard Trina, myself, too. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 04:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== e.email cummings ==

Does <big> anyone</big> else think we should put SB's erratic typing into a sender's-email-style box, to accurately depict the erraticness (erraticity? errata? Erik Estrada?)? We don't really have a precedent for him doing this sort of thing, unless you count when he typed in different fonts to pretend to be legions of screaming girls. I'd argue that this example is considerably different from that one, though. Unfortunately, I'm not enough of a computer genius man to format wiki font in that way. Anybody agree it should be done/up to the task? -- {{User:Onamuji/sig}} 14:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
: Yeah, I'd agree for what its worth. -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 15:29, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, Sausage King, your concurrence leads me to believe that, without any dissent, this is a worthwhile endeavor. However, I am a bit worried how it will effect the readability. I would say that the best course of action would be to have someone actually create the page you're talking about, either in the [[HRWIKI:Sandbox|Sandbox]] or on a personal sub-page. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 15:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Hmm. This is a transcript. It shows the words spoken. It's not meant to be a copy of the email, which wouldn't really be a nice thing to do. I would support a thumbnail of the formatting for people who might not be able to access the email. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:25, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm not sure whether this should be done or not, but here's the magic code to make it work:
<blockquote class="lappy email">
] Oh, think you're
preTTy clever
eh?
-e.email cummings
</blockquote>
::::I think that if this is in there, it should still be supplemented with what SB actually says, in a readable order... 'cause that rearranged text is a bit hard to decypher... it's possible, but takes thought. Perhaps this should go under Trivia, rather than the Transcript, if we do include it? Just throwing the idea out there... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:59, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Green rating screen ==

This is quite enough appearances to merit a template, right? Somebody, am I ri-am I wrong? John Adams said so! --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 20:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:I don't think it has appeared in more than two toons. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::There is also [[In Search of the Yello Dello Theatrical Trailer]], but this one is of a simpler format. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:43, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== Remarks section, red band trailer note ==

Someone added a remark talking more about red banded trailers. I don't believe this is needed as trailer bands are talked about enough in the trivia section. What do you all think? {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 07:01, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

== Wilde Coincidence? ==

Your name is a reference to ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'', is it not? And furthermore, does that indicate that you identify with the character Dorian Gray, or are you just a fan of the book/movie/story/author? If you are referencing the novel, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm a big Oscar Wilde fan myself, and I wrote an essay on ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' for Philosophy class, back in June. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:47, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been trying to find the novel to read. I only know about Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. I like reading the background of such things, which is why I want the novel. I haven't yet had an oppurtunity to get to the library yet, and it's never in at the bookstore...
::EDIT: I got my mum to check the book out for me instead. All is well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry for the edit ==

Ya sorry, that was pretty stupid of me, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice and change it. I promise nothing of the sort will happen again.
:That's quite all right. No lasting harm done, and it was all taken care of quickly. Thanks for apologising, though. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. ^-^ --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Moved examples into list ==

I hope it's okay, but on [[Talk:Ice Cream]] I went ahead and moved your examples into the list itself and put a note on it so others will edit it as they see fit. If you want, repost with your opinion on whether it should be a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, of course it's fine. Anything for the good of the wiki, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Away Message Song ==

I'll be away in England for the next three weeks, y'all. Sorry. To make up for my not being here to help the Wiki, I offer you this away message song. Yes, it's the same 'Believe It Or Not' song that Homestar and George Costanza have sung to before. 

''Believe it or not, ''
''I'm away from the comp, ''
''So leave a message just for me. ''
''I must be out, or I'd IM you back. ''
''Where could I be? ''
''Believe it or not, you're alone! ''

Please, hold your applause. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Well, Seany-sama, how was England? If you're from Pennsylvania, how come you spell favorite "favourite"? I'm from Texas, one of your other favou—I mean, favorite places. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:28, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I spell everything the English way coz, well, coz I'm so hung up on England. Originally, though, it was a side effect from visiting Neopets and it's just stuck with me. And all those other reasons about it actually being the real and correct spelling and all. And as for England itself... Well, to tell the truth, it's not so different from here, except for the television programmes, when you get right down to it. But, despite being faintly similar, it was a total blast.
:::Did you go to the tower, or the abbey, or the palace? Did you ride the Eye? The last time I was there, I got to drive a car by myself through the cities and highways of Scotland. ''That'' was fun, and not just a little weird being on the wrong side of the road. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Me, I didn't really do much of anything a normal tourist does. I went up to stay with my friend, who I met a couple years ago online. We've been planning this forever. I stayed at her house up in Nottingham, so most of the sights I saw were generally A) really cool and loud, 2) around the general Nottingham area, and D) more "fun" than "historic" or "tourist-y". My mum and sister did the whole bus-tour thing throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even nipped down to France for a day, though. But I was more content to stay with my best friend than go sightseeing.

==Sound Effects==
I think it's great you're spearheading this project. Look at the formatting changes I just made (putting each table cell on a new line and a space after the align=center part). I think that makes the code easier to read. Also, be sure to link every instance in the last column. A user shouldn't have to search up and down the list for a link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:All right. Thanks for the advice (and the help). And I just like making lists. I have tons of similar lists on my computer (none are H*R related, though). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yes, it does. I was wondering if someone would see that. you win. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 20:41, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Synonyms ==

Um, have you been known to collect synonyms? I saw that in your entry. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:31, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:For some things. Synonyms are useful if you write a lot. That way, you don't come off as boring by repeating yourself. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

So, we all know that. But do you REALLY do that for a livin'? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:33, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Hobbies ==

I see. Why is that your hobby? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I think 'coz I'm weird like that' works best here. Anyway, I have a lot of hobbies, some of which I take more seriously. Some, like my synonym collections, are just for fun. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I think you're right. If you want, you can tell me about synonyms in my talk page. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:39, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, aside from all those ones for regurgitation, I only collect synonyms for 'crazy'. You can see them all [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16326646/ here]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Uh, no. Just leave it here. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:05, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

You asked for a note encouraging you to do that work on the Videlectrix games. I have left such a note [[Talk:50K_Racewalker#New_Racewalker_Image|here]]. See also the bit about the music. Thanks for being willing to do this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:05, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Willing, yes... Unfortunately, by the time I got here, it seems someone already added all the music links (although I was able to make a few minor corrections). As to the other bit... D'you want me to just include a new "Official Videlectrix Description" section in each game, or what? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 16:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

About the Star Wars intro on [[haircut]], I was really tired when I heard that. The "Da Da Da Dear" sounded like the opening notes of the Star Wars main theme to me, at the time. Now it just sounds...not like that.

Anyway, sorry.

::Oh, come on. A Holiday Greeting most likely to be reverted? It doesn't sound like Chriiiii(st) to you? Listen to it one more time just to make sure. If you don't hear it though, I understand. Or did you revert it because you thought I was being in appropriate? Either way, I understand.

Sorry again.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:::Yeah, I'm thinkin' more of who it would offend rather than what it sounds like.

Hey DorianGrey. I was wondering, did you bring up your new format unto Standards? Try to clear it up with them before you implement new formats. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:Well, actually... It was discussed a lot under one of the Running Gags (I forget which), and was then applied to several other pages. I just was bored and thus decided to take the next step. If I was out of order, sorry. It was discussed with users I respect a lot, so I figured it wasn't too bad. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Reverts==
I would like to help out the site. Can you tell me how a revert works? [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]
:Sure I can! When a page has been trolled or had a bad edit made, the simplest way to change it back is to revert it. Each page has a history of every edit made to it, see. Up at the top, you'll notice a little tab marked "history" (it's the fourth from the left, usually). Click on that and it'll bring up a page of all the edits made to that page, most recent ones on the top. Find the version you want to change it back to and click the date for that version. This will bring that version up in the window for editing. Just type "reverted" or "rv" (or "rv/v" for vandalism) ito the edit summary box beneath it and hit "save page". And that will correct the whole page! I hope that helps. If not, check out the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] for more information. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yo, Dorian. I was wondering if you would draw a picture of Darth Katana X for my profile. I see by your guestbook entry and your deletion of AbdiViklas' note on John Reuben that you've seen my profile. You can read up on my Sith Apprentice there, if you haven't already.

He looks like Inuyasha dressed like Darth Vader, but he's only wearing Vader's headgear. And he has a big, glowing Katana Sword. So, would you mind drawing that? Because that'd totally rock - thanks one million! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

Hey DG, how'd you get the Old-School Homestar for your newest quote? {{User:LePorello/sig}} 14:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
:I actually took a screen shot from... [[personal favorites|personal favourites]], I think. I cropped out everything but his head, and rotated, resized, and/or flipped it 'til it was layered perfectly over a normal Quote of the Week box with the current Homestar in it. And there it was: one old-school Homestar quote. However, since my editing software is now kaput, I can't do any more specialised quotes like that. Ah, well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yeah, DG. I ''saw'' what you did with the userbox that ''I'' added. It's OK; I found it prooty humorous. And I remember you being blocked on the 9th.

Why did you remove my picture from the halloweener page? You gotta give me some credit. I'm a full wiki member, and I don't deserve to have my image deleted. Also, if you think it's ugly, keep it to yourself. Sorry, but I don't find this very respectful.
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]
:It's not relevant because tons of people do fanart of all sorts of toons all the time. That doesn't make it necessary to mention in an encyclopedic knowledge-base. It's nothing against you. Anyone's would be deleted. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Squeaketycoo==
On the other hand, can we hold up just a sec on the unsqueaking? I think there ''are'' a few times when it's okay. After all, Strong Bad does call "a little yellow squeaky thing". Specifically, if he makes a ''single'' noise, like "Meh!", that isn't exactly a scream, then I think that could best be called a squeak. It's more wieldy than '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''. Also [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Best_Decemberween_Ever&curid=1024&diff=297773&oldid=297028&rcid=244845 this] seems like a good candidate for squeaking: the intent is to say he "sings along," but what the Cheat does can't really be called singing. About the best thing it can be called, then, is squeaking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, there's pretty much nothing left to correct anyways, so I can definitely hold up for a while. =3 Fix whatever you like; I guess there ARE some times when it's okay, like you said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Cool. I think I'll just revert a few on the basis of wieldiness. For the record, the [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"|original crusade]] was to correct instances where people had tried to transliterate The Cheat noises into our alphabet. If you see any of that still around, a small train needs to be dropped. At least a caboose. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Dorian, I saw you wondered about my name. Well--in short--I made it up. It's basically the name I use everywhere, unless it's more formal (in which case I use the long form, Katori), or in the rare case where there's something better (like Coach Z on BHZ's forum ;)). I made it up a few years ago. Occassionally I use it in stories as well. :) Nice to meet you!! --[[User:Kato|Kato]]

== Countervandalism ==

[[Image:colonelhomestar.PNG|thumb|Prepare to feel the fluoride sting of the DorianGray!]]
Hey Dorian:

I wanted to let you know that you are one of the best countervandals I've ever known. Before I was a sysop, I remember how often the two of us were working together to stop a persistent vandal. Since I became a sysop, I find myself blocking vandals after being alerted by your reverts.

You've already received the Defender of the Wiki barnstar for revering NSMC, but I felt it was time for you to get a little more recognition: not for one act of countervandalism, but for a long history of defending this wiki. I'm leaving you this image to let you know you'll always be a colonel in the Homestarmy in my mind. Keep up the good fight, man. Constant vigilance! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:10, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
:And the same to you. =) I'm happy to help any way I can, and will continue to do so as long as I can. ^-^ Thanks very much for the recognition. It makes me feel special. I'm glad to be part of such a dedicated wiki, and to know such dedicated users. May you continue to great things too. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::LOL. Heimstern, we've got a possible vandal, and he doesn't seem stable...</useless gossip> — {{User: Seriously/sig}}

== Copyright category ==

Hey Dorian. It looks like you found a good category for that category. Just so you know, those templates are some advance work I'm doing in preparation for our switch to MediaWiki 1.6. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I wasn't planning to tag anything with them. Although, I do have a question. Is there anything you'd tag [[:Image:Darkfire Taimatsu.PNG|my personal image]] with? It's art a friend of mine drew, so it really doesn't fit anything that ''I'' know of... Also [[:Image:DarthDrawing.jpg|the one]] I drew for Darth Katana X. Anything you'd class those under? I've been wondering for a while now... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think the path of least resistance would be to slap a {{tl|permission}} tag on 'em. I should point out that there are others with way more experience than I when it comes to image copyright tags, so you might could get a better answer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I'll put that on 'em, then, unless/until someone else finds something better. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Well, unless your friend specifically agrees to release the rights to the picture, {{tl|permission}} is the most appropriate template. There's basically 3 types of image tag: 1) The owner says we can use it ({{tl|permission}}) II) The owner says anyone can use it ({{tl|gfdl}}, the Creative Commons licenses, etc) C) The owner hasn't said we can use it, but we're using it anyway under Fair Use ({{tl|web-screenshot}} et al) (plus the tags that say "we really shouldn't be using this", like {{tl|no license}}). This image is clearly under group 1, (unless your friend wants to move it into II). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

::Me personally? I say it "wee-kee". It's from the Hawaiian ''wikiwiki'', which means "quick" (refers to how easy it is to edit on here). So I use the pronounciation that's directly from the Hawaiian root, mostly due to my slight obsession with Hawaii. However, for some reason, I pronounce "Wikipedia" as "wick-i-pee-dee-a". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Senior Prom, I Am The Walrus edit==
Oh, sorry. I thought my computer messed up, so I added it again. And by the way, iTunes Listed the song 'I Am the Walrus' under styx. Check if you have it.

::Have a look at [[Wikipedia:I Am The Walrus#Cultural references]], in particular the "cover versions" bit. I'm guessing the version on iTunes is the Styx cover, rather than the Beatles original.

== Homsar's Speech ==

Hey Dorian. :) Just wanted to thank you for the <s>flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital</s> help on my Homsar's Speech project! Seems like we're almost done, and so far I've only found two, maybe three things he's ever said that are genuine word salads. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. It was fun, as Homsar is quite th' character... And now I have, like, most of his line memorised, I think. I really like seeing the analyses of each line... He's more coherent than I originally thought. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure seems to be. I think this project conclusively proves that Homsar is actually pretty "with it" - just random in the way he communicates with others. Once the project is done, I'm wondering if we should make this an actual article that we can then point to from the main Homsar article or its Talk page... or otherwise include the analysis on the Talk page, or something. It's useful data that can help to define and refute the "word salad" assertion on both Homsar's page and the Wikipedia page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I really like it... Quite an interesting article. Sheds new light on a beloved wacky character. And Homsar is now reminding me of a character of my own, who also speaks in an unusual way (example: she uses the word "circle" instead of "family"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yeah, I'm sorry about he mishap. Yes, it was me who was editing my page. I'm sorry for the confusion, and I've set it to auto log-in from now on so it does not happen again.

== Trying to make this Userbox work ==
Hi there, I was just wondering if you could help me (or know who could). I made a new userbox for my userpage which uses a random Homsar quote. I tried to add it to the Userbox page and it won't work because of the template inside a template format, the homsarquote template I mean. It works ON my user page and outside of the <userboxsampes> tag, just not inside of it. Any idea how to make that work?
--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 21:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
:Hmm, I dunno much myself, but I'll certainly ask around. I know a few people who might be able to help, maybe. I's not much good with coding and stuff myself. *sweatdrop* Let you know once they get on, or something. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::Thanks Loafing, but I think you misunderstand the problem. It will work inside that. Look at my userpage and you will see what I made.

:It's speculation to assume TBC put it there for people to ponder, because we don't know what they were thinking. We run a knowledge base, based in fact, not assumption. It was not the full, official Halloween toon for that year, and they probably didn't use Homestar's costume for spoiler reasons. To round it out, Homestar's shirt is a real shirt, generally used by people too lazy to wear a real costume (like people who answer the door for trick-or-treaters, for example). Those are the reasons I took it out. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== quite certain he says "oh my lan" ==

Considering that Renold says before hand: "Get your hands off those floppy disks and fiscal reports" it would suggest he says oh my lan. oh my land isn't even a saying.

For the sake of argument, I recorded the part he said and played it over, there is no audio wave that suggests him saying "d" after lan.

:Hey there. DorianGray was acting perfectly within [[HRWiki:Talk page etiquette#Talk post content|policy]]. Comments on talk pages concerning personal opinions of the toons are routinely removed for exactly the reason Dorian provided — they don't concern the content of the article.

Hi, do you know anything about the Unown pokemon in the Tanoby Ruins? Before the chambers had '''nothing''' at all in them, no pokemon, nothing. Then I found the Tanoby key, activated it and there were unown pokemon in the chambers! Each unown is exactly the same, except for the body shape, and at the front of one chamber, a guy says a mystic pokemon lives in the chamber. Some of my friends say all the unowns are the shape of each letter of the alphabet and if you catch all of them to create the alphabet, the mystic pokemon will appear in the chamber(s). Do you know anything about the mystic pokemon, the unowns or the chambers? If so, please tell me, thanks. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The mystic Pokémon the guy is referring to is probably the Unown themselves. Unown are pretty fascinating. They do match up to the alphabet: one Unown for each of the 26 letters, as well as one each for ? and !. I haven't yet been able to find Unown ? or ! in Tanoby (they're really rare). The only thing you get for collecting all 28 Unown is the satisfaction of knowing you have them all, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Do you know anything about the legendary dogs? Because I heard after defeating the elite four (I defeated it 3 times), outside of Cerulean cave a legendary dog will appear and the type will depend on which starter pokemon you picked. I picked Squirtle so my dog should be the thunder dog. Do you know anything about it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's true. Depending on your starter, one of the Legendary Beasts will appear in Kanto: Raikou for Squirtle, Entei for Bulbasaur, and Suicune for Charmander. They're extremely hard to catch, though. They move around between routes, so you have to use your Pokédex to track them down (only once you find it in the first place, though). Then, if you're lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time, you'll encounter it randomly in the tall grass. It runs at the start of the battle, so putting it to sleep or using Mean Look will help keep it there long enough to wear it down and catch it. If you do manage to catch it, it's a very powerful Pokémon, so treat it well. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I found the Raikou last night looking for meowths and I found it and it fled. I looked in the pokedex to find where it was, I ran into it, had my wobbuffet first with the shadow tag ability. The Raikou couldn't escape because of shadow tag, but it used roar and escaped. Then because it was very late, I turned it off and then today when I played it, I went to Raikou's pokedex entry to find it's location and it said "area unknown". Do you know how I'm supposed to confront it again and if yes, how do I catch it if it either runs away or uses roar? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. Dunno why it's not appearing in the Pokédex locator. Catching one of the beasts is usually mostly luck, and a big pain in the rear. I saved my Master Ball for Entei just coz I hate catching the roaming Pokémon. I could do a li'l research, see if there's anything that has, like, both Suction Cups and Mean Look (Ingrain and Spider Web?) or something. I don't know many counters for Roar... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=== eevee ===

Hi, do you know how to get Eevee? I heard you get it in the Celadon Mansion, but how do you get it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}23:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
:You just go around the back of the building. There's a back entrance that leads to a room on the roof. Eevee is up there. You probably need to have only 5 Pokémon in your party, too, so you have room to take it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Heh, want to know something funny? I got to Celadon a really long time ago and got Eevee a long time ago, so today I looked everywhere and I was just confused, and I looked in the PC and I found the Eevee! Funny, eh? Oh and you said Entei, so you probably picked Mr. Venus. I don't really like Venusy, I don't think it's very good. I like Blasty the best, which is why I picked it. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}02:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I picked Bulbasaur because, way back in Blue version, Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. I wanted to carry the tradition.
:::Neat how you found th' Eevee. I love a good story like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I The reason I picked Squirtle is because I tried all the starters and thought Squirtle was the best. Also because everybody picks Charizard, so if they breed their Charizard, they would maybe trade me something for their Charmander. One of my friends who picked Bulbasaur traded for one of my Squirtle's so he could easily take out his rival's Charmy. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, I hope in Diamond you didn't pick Turtwig. It sucks. I picked Piplup because it's best and Infernape is so-so. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I picked Turtwig in Diamond because it was the least ugly of all the starters. And Torterra is pretty beastly, actually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Wha?!?! You picked Turtwig? Least ugly? I actually think Turtwig is the most ugly. Heh. Well, at least Torterra doesn't suck like Venusaur. I always pick water types except in Emerald because it is the only Pokemon in Gen. III that knows Leaf Blade. I bet if we battled, my Empoleon would whip your Torterra because it is Jolly so I'd go first and use Ice Beam which does 4x damage! Muohahaha!!!!! But my friend who always picks grass types, his best attack is Razor Leaf even with his lv. 100 Venusaur! {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Razor Leaf is actually a pretty decent move. Nice damage level, good hit percentage, lots of HP, and the possibility of a critical hit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Naw, Razor Leaf sucks. 55 power. The only good thing is it has a high chance of doing a critical hit. It's not even 100% accurate. Well, 95 is still good accuracy, but Razor Leaf sucks.
:::::::55 is actually pretty decent for a mid-level attack with no drawbacks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::55 actually isn't good. Flamethrower or Thunderbolt is 100% accurate, 95 power and has no recoil and can burn or paralyze, so Razor Leaf... is no good. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Oh, you like stories, don't you? Well, this might make you laugh. You can only get one Master Ball in the game right? Well, you want to save it for the legendary dog, but it's okay if you use it on Articuno or MewTwo or maybe Zapdos or Moltres. Well, my friend really wanted Articuno because he didn't save infront of the other legendary birds. So he took out Zapdos and Moltres, so Articuno was the only one left. That bird is so hard to catch, so if you don't have like a million ultra balls, chances are you won't catch it, so I used my master ball on it. Well, my friend used his master ball on a level 14 Onix then released his Onix. Then he found Articuno and it escaped all of his balls, s he kept on resetting and he did that about 20 times and finally gave up. This was about a month ago, and the Articuno is still standing there, so I can't wait for the Mewtwo! {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Heh. Your friend has some bad luck. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Oh, yeah, he caught Mewtwo and when he was trying, when he threw a ball, he went on his hands and knees and was dragging his knees across the carpet going "PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CATCH!!!" and actually started crying, everyone there thought he was just weird so we laughed, and when he caught Mewtwo, he screamed "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". So, yeah, it was hard for him without da Master Ball. But we all thought that was very weird how he cried. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Heh. I am amused. Lucky him, though. Non-Master Ball catches can be terrible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

The title of the web page, "Light fuse get away" is the name of a song by the band Dream Theater. We should have some format for "external references" in the character videos. Actually, I think I will edit the "Character Videos" page right now.

This doesn't really belong in the entry, but I think it's worthwhile to note that although there's evidence that Strong Mad bullies Strong Sad, on the few occaisions we've seen them left to their own devices together, they don't seem to get along poorly at all. In light of this, it seems likely that, rather than Strong Mad disliking Strong Sad, he just gets 'roped into' bullying him the same way he often gets dragged into Strong Bad's antics.

== Wet The Cheat ==
"Evidently, The Cheat's fur makes up quite a bit of his girth, as evidenced by his decreased width when wet." i think he's so thin to make the cartoon glass-of-water dive reference more complete. at least that's what i got from it when i first watched it.

im pretty sure saying that the bottom ten is done just like the lare show top ten is knda stupid. the bottom ten is kinda done like most top ten lists. and changing it so i t says it like a top ten lists seems obvious. i say take it out.

I mean, really. In army it was just a random insult being tossed around; with Homsar it had much focus, even if it DIDN'T have SB or HSR involved in it.

::An interesting fact might be that this is the first email since ??? that had no eggs anywhere.

Well, you had to wait about 10 seconds or so to hear him say that there aren't any Easter Eggs. Isn't that sort of an Easter Egg itself?

:Sort of, but our pattern on other pages when this happens is that it's ''not'' an egg. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:16, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Also, Strong Bad actually said "no easter eggs" so it'd be a paradox if that was considered one.
:::Yes and a paradox is a funny thing to include in a cartoon. I only found about the "extra" on the wiki, since I had quickly scanned for easter-eggs with the tab key and I clicked back because I didn't find any, and thus missed what Strong Bad said after. In my book it is an easter-egg. --[[User:VL-Tone|VL-Tone]]

Since people are adamantly claiming otherwise on the STUFF page, which is not such a good place for ''discussion'' as such anymore, I have to put my two cents in. In my opinion, things that happen after a pause at the end of the email/toon/etc ''are'' Easter Eggs, and deserve the title as much as the ones you have to click on something to activate. However putting them under "Transcript" reads clearer, and makes the wiki page flow better. This doesn't make them any less an Easter Egg, it's simply something done for readability. To quote [[HRWiki:Standards#Easter Eggs]]:<blockquote>An Easter egg (or just "egg" for short) is a secret part of a toon that can only be accessed by performing a particular action (e.g. clicking on a particular word or object) during a toon '''''or by waiting for awhile after the toon has "ended"'''''.</blockquote>(my emphasis). Note that there is in fact nothing on the Standards page that says that the wait-for-it eggs should be in the Transcript rather than under Easter Eggs, it's simply done that way by tradition. I guess this was more than two cents. {{User:phlip/sig}} 16:24, 17 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Look, an Easter egg is something HIDDEN that you have to activate. Things that happen after the paper comes down are in no way hidden, you just have to keep watching. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:50, 17 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::They are hidden though, just hidden behind a pause rather than behind a button. Yes, you just have to keep watching. You also just have to click this word, or that picture, to get the other eggs. I was missing the after-the-paper eggs for ages because I click the back button after the action stops, as that seems to be the end of the toon. It wasn't until I left the process running for a while in the background while I did something else that I even considered simply ''waiting'' for eggs. Sure it seems obvious know that I know... {{User:phlip/sig}} 17:02, 17 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Not Pigeons==
"Not...pigeons" seems like a reference to [[different town]], when Strong bad tries to think of the best thing ever and ends up with "beef stew". Anyone else think so?

*No, it's just Strong Bad not being able to think of anything. It's not really a "reference" to anything. Strong bad is an (scatterbrained), and does this kind of thing often, as any HR fan knows. ;) --[[User:Homestar Runnar|Hometar Runnar]] (There, happy? I changed "idiot" to "scatterbrained.")

He's not an idiot. -Kinsey

Yeah, he's not an idiot!! And the Bad in his name is capitalized!! -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Princess of StrongBadia]]

I think he really might be afraid of pigeons, and that he's ashamed of being afraid of them (similar to "Definitly NOT a speedo"-on other days). Strong Bad is a very quirky person with interests that nobody would expect (baking, watching soaps) In TGS there are several things that involve birds (birds hurting or killing characters, or simply getting shot out of the sky by a random helicopter).
[[User:Kefti islander|Kefti islander]]

Technically, since it was "Not Pigeons" on the list of things he doesn't like, it means that he ''does'' like Pigeons, through a double-negative. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 11:45, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Chocozuma's Revenge and Technochocolate land? ==

What's with Strong Bad always combining aztec history and chocolate? Could this be counted as a reference?

I thought "technochocolate" meant techno- as in technology, not Tenochtitlan.

*Nope, he mentions the Aztecs right before. -- [[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 12:07 12 July 2005 (CST)

::The monument. Gotcha. I was thinking of Club Technochocolate.

Hey. I FINALLY figured out the connection between Aztec history and chocolate. In the Wikipedia article on cocoa (used to make chocolate), it says as follows:
:::Cocoa was an important commodity in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Spanish chroniclers of the conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés relate that when Moctezuma II, emperor of the Aztecs, dined he took no other beverage than chocolate, served in a golden goblet and eaten with a golden spoon. Flavored with vanilla and spices, his chocolate was whipped into a froth that dissolved in the mouth. No less than 50 pitchers of it were prepared for the emperor each day, and 2000 more for nobles of his court.

Also, in the Wikipedia article for Aztec, it states that cocoa grains were used for money. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec#Diet 1] Yet another relationship between Aztecs and chocolate.

--[[User:Dongolev|Dongolev]] 12:53, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:I thought the mayans created chocolate hundreds of yeaars before that...

WHat sounds better, Mayanchocolate or Tenochocolate (Technochocolate)? And Chocozuma's revenges relates to Aztec ruler Moctezuma II, who was basically obsessed with chocolate. --[[User:Dongolev|Dongolev]] 16:24, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

The word "chocolate" itself comes from "xocolatl", which is Aztec for "bitter water."

Isn't it technochocolate relate to the kinda of music (i.e. techno) and not the Aztects and it would be called Tenochocolate not TECHNOchocolate

:Aren't all these instances of "Technochocolate" just references to [[monument]]? That's what I always think of when I see it, even "Club Technochocolate". I'd better go check to see if this is already listed as a running gag. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 03:49, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

:How ironic, that a 'chocolate' dessert is actually a reference to diarrhea.

== Running Time ==

Let's get one thing established: Things that happen after The Paper comes down that are not Easter eggs count towards the email's running time, right? If so, I timed the email at approximately 4:57, ending it at Strong Bad's line, "No. There's no Easter eggs. I'm not up to it. Go away." -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 17:08, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

If it's vibrato, it's ''very'' sharp, more a second emphasis than a simple wavering. Though I agree on keeping the footnote as long as someone hears it differently.

== SB Email: Jumped the Shark? ==

I think this one pretty much did it, what with the butt dance and the vomiting. Not that I have anything against crude humor: some people make it work quite well.. But Homestar Runner has always held a special place for me because even though it was aimed at older audiences, it was always so innocent. Bathroom humor is just out of place on Homestar.
[[User:67.1.38.32|67.1.38.32]]

:Yes, bathroom humor is just out of place on Homestar Runner. That's why one of the main characters (who has been around since the first Flash toon) is a Poopsmith. And the butt dance is from Homestar's character video that's been on the site for a long time. But anyway, this discussion is better served on the [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum]. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 05:19, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I was a little put-off by the vomit joke as well. I had considered HSR a "safe-haven" against that kind of stuff.

== Woman or High Talking Guy? ==

Obviously the chocolate lover is voiced by a falsetto Matt, but I wonder, is the character intended to be a woman, or a high-talking guy who Strong Bad intentionally calls "lady" intending it as an insult? Or am I overthinking this?

-- You're overthinking this.

-I thought it sounded like Reynold.

-actually, that's not falsetto; it's either just picking a high pitch or, I think, pitch transposed up using sound processing software.

== Number 8 ==

When Strong Bad says 'number 8', did anyone else notice that his pronunciation is the same as Yoko Ono's in the episode of The Simpsons where Homer et al form the Be Sharps, and Yoko records a song by saying 'number 8' repeatedly over a loop of Barney belching?

::That's still a very far stretch. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 15:48, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Dry T-Shirt Contest ==

Should we attempt to compare Strong Bad's mention of a Dry T-Shirt Contest to a Wet T-shirt contest? It's kind of hard to pass up the reference. I don't want to link to it yet, but there's even a Wikipedia article for "Wet T-shirt contest" we could link to.

==Songs that try to pass off la la's etc.==

Somebody tried to add "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" by The Police, and it was deleted based on the "keep it to these three" notice. It's a really good example, though; another one with the non-words in the title. (However, it technically doesn't use any of the specific non-words Strong Bad listed.) I think it should be reconsidered to replace one of the three given examples. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 10:59, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:(I realize this is almost six months old, but I didn't want to start a new section for this.) At first glance, "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" is a really good fit for that, but the song is about those words. They're not trying to pass them off as legit lyrics because in that particular context, they ''are'' legit lyrics. Consider the line "De do do do, de da da da" is meaningless and all that's true. As big a fan of Sting's as I am, I know that he doesn't write lyrics that don't ''mean'' something, at least once you dig below the surface. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 23:20, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

== The "No Easter Eggs" Fact ==
Yes, I changed the fun fact after it was passed through STUFF. The reason simply being that it is false as it stands, but I didn't see [[video games]] while it was in STUFF, so I couldn't put it as an argument against. Basically, it boils down to whether having to wait after a pause at the end of the email counts as an Easter egg (not referring to whether we put it in the Easter Eggs secion on the wiki, but simply whether it's an Easter egg at all). There are then two options:
# It is an Easter egg. In this case the fun fact is simply false.
# It is not an Easter egg. In this case [[video games]] has no Easter eggs (you have to wait for a pause to see the menu of games, but I don't think anyone can claim that having to click on the games after this pause counts as "hidden". It is placed under the Easter Eggs section on the wiki page simply to have a place to hang the links to the four games).
Obviously, saying that this email has no eggs, but [[video games]] does is inconsistent. My rewording of the egg narrowed the option down to #2 above (with "...Easter eggs that you have to click to activate...") and corrected the link to point to [[video games]] instead of [[property of ones]]. {{User:phlip/sig}} 08:40, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:When you changed the fact, you wrote in your edit summary, "I knew there was one that was more recent. Is this still notable?" First of all, I agree with you about the lack of eggs in [[video games]], especially considering how we currently define what is and isn't an egg. The games are not hidden at all, and you hardly have to wait for them after the paper. Second, as to whether this is still notable, I think that no, it's not. The original fact was supposed to convey the sense of "it's been ''forever'' since they didn't have an Easter egg in a Strong Bad Email." Email #94, on the other hand, just doesn't seem that long ago.<div style="text-indent:1.5em">I think we have a bigger problem, though. This part of the discussion may need to move to [[HRWiki_talk:Standards]] or [[Talk:Strong Bad Email]] or somewhere, but '''we need to officially regard action that happens after the Paper as being Easter eggs.'''

== what does it mean by ==

8. Emails with more than 1 fwd: or re: in the subject line. And STRONG BAD: Oh, great. Let me guess: "It's true! You saw it on the news!" Or, "Hey, sounds crazy, but thought it was worth a shot!"

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 05:07, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
:Well, when you reply to emails in a certain way, they will put a special prefix in the subject line automatically. If you open an email and hit the 'Reply' button, it will add '''RE:''' to the subject, showing it's a reply. If you open an email and hit 'Forward' and send it to other people, it will add '''FWD:''' to the subject, showing it was forwarded. Generally, emails with multiple FWDs and REs are spam or chain letters, which is why Strong Bad prefers not to receive them. Does that help? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Thanks DorianGray that helps alot, but waht i dont's understand is this: STRONG BAD: Oh, great. Let me guess: "It's true! You saw it on the news!" Or, "Hey, sounds crazy, but thought it was worth a shot!"

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 09:43, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
:Those two phrases appear a lot in the sorts of emails that get mass-forwarded. Often hoaxes of the form "Check this out, it's completely true! I saw it on the news! <insert frightening-if-true-but-actually-completely-false message>! I asked my friends, they reckon it's true too!" and so on. The "sounds crazy" one is from things where the email claims (falsly) that if you forward it to lots of people, something special will happen (often a chain letter). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 10:08, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
::Hundreds of such emails, and proof against them, can be seen at http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/inboxer.asp. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 14:14, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

== what exactly is a bottom 10? ==

Is it somethings you hate or something?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 01:22, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, it's the ten things you most hate. The more common term is "top ten", which means your ten favorite things. So "bottom 10" means the opposite of that. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:24, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
::Which is strange, although Strong Bad is known to do strange things. ;) — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 01:27, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
:::It's not that strange. It's just another way of saying "Your Top 10 most hated things" or something. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
::::I guess what I meant is the opposite, although Strong Bad doesn't really do opposite things. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 01:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

== Bottom Led? ==

Does anyone else hear "Feed the Childrens" as a reference to the a capella part of The Ocean by Led Zeppelin? I know it's only a partial similarity, but it does make sense, considering Limozeen is a pretty Zeppelin-esque band. Also, The Ocean is one of the few songs by Led Zeppelin that tries to pass off la-la-la's (and later doo-wap's) as legit lyrics.

If anyone could upload a sample that would be much appreciated.

:I don't find Limozeen at all similar to Led Zeppelin. And this isn't really similar to The Ocean musically. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:00, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

== Let's do the buttdance again! ==

Buttdance like the rhythm's down your pants!
I think it's a ref to Rocky Horror Picture Show. the TIME WARP!--[[User:Jetamo|Coach J]] 10:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

==Jibblies part of the 10?==

Strong Bad didn't know a #5 for his bottom 10. That should mean that #6-10 should be bumped up 1 and the jibblies would be #10- [[User:Sbdisciples|Sbdisciples]] 19:16, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

== the chocolate desserts ==

for each picture of the chocolate desserts with the dangerous names, is each one just the previous one with more chocolate things dumped on top? like chocozuma's revenge is just this brownie might kill you with a cup of pudding and more icing on top?

== fwd's ==

"Strong Bad refers to email with more than one "fwd" or "re" in the subject line, but most email services use only one "fwd" or "re" in the subject line regardless of how many times it has been forwarded or replied."\

I disagree with this. i used to recieve emails whose subjects were "Fwd:Fd:Re: cool test !" or something like that all the time. note how there are three.
:In addition, I'm sure it's entirely possible to manually insert FWDs or REs. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Come on in here ==

To me, "Come on in here" came off as a reference to Super Mario 64, when you enter Big Boo's Haunt for the first time and a spooky voice says that. Did anyone else consider this? I thought this could be possible seeing that TBC are clear Mario/Nintendo fans and reference Nintendo games many places in their cartoons.

== Lizzie ==

This was added to the page:
<blockquote>When Strong Bad opens Strong Mad's closet, the horrible painting of a demon resembles the demon "Lizzie" from episode 8 ("Inside the Closet") of the TV series "Tales from the Dark Side."</blockquote>
The episode is [[Wikipedia:List of Tales from the Darkside episodes|real]], but I couldn't find a picture of the demon to confirm it. Opinions anyone? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 13:18, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

== An ironic remark ==

I added this, even though so far all my additions have been classified as unnecessary or wrong: Strong Bad's email song is "This email is making fun of you..." -- and the email is making fun of ''him''. How did no one pick up on this??

:I see your point, although I think it's a coincidence. If people think it's worthwhile remark, I wouldn't mind it being added, though I personally wouldn't move for its addition. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:05, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

== Doot Do Redux ==

After watching the live Limozeen show on YouTube, it seems pretty clear that the lyrics in "Feed the Childrens are "Na na la la la/ Hey hey Do-doot do." Can we remove the footnote on the transcript now?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 23:00, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== About "japanese cartoon"... ==

*Hi, Jay. I wanted to make a comment about the NES endings easter egg, particularly the Metroid ending, and it didn't seem appropriate to bring it up in the cartoon discussion (plus it wouldn't make sense to anyone besides us). Since you don't have a listed e-mail, I'll bring it up here. The screen that it shows, "You Fulfiled Your Mission", et. al., either features a Samus Aran in her normal suit or, if you enter a certain code (the famed JUSTIN BAILEY ------ ------ code, for example), a suitless Samus, as it shows in this instance. VGMuseum shows both variants as an animated gif. Both variants do not show in the same ending, you either get the normal variant or the suitless variant if you put in a suitable code. It is the following screen which is then based upon time, and that screen does not feature any sort of text. When the game is completed under 3 hours, that screen also shows Samus in a red suit...whereas if Samus is suitless, she will always be seen in a green suit on the first screen. Anyway, I just felt like mentioning it. By the time you read this, I will probably have edited the page again and I wanted to explain the reasoning behind it instead of it potentially resulting in a siutation where we are constantly changing each others' edits. Otherwise...keep up the good work with editing the wiki and I'll do likewise. -- [[User:Frickinsellout|Frickinsellout]] 16:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Why don't we add it to the transcript with the note about SB's variant spelling? [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

::: It is also questionable that "gyp" really is a slur (see the [[Wiktionary:Gyp|Wiktionary]], though as we discovered earlier today, "gip" is actually not present there for some reason.) We had this discussion earlier today. At any rate, '''Strong Bad actually types the word "gipped"''', and according to our [[HRWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]], what Strong Bad types is what we type, whether misspelled, nonsensical, or contrary to what he actually says (though in that last case, we also note what he actually says.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== Comedy Stylings ==

Re: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&curid=26453&diff=354373&oldid=354371 this] - what's abnormal about the construction "comedy stylings"? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
: It's certainly not something I hear on anything remotely resembling a normal basis. And it certainly sounds more awkward than "headbrow style" (given what it's representing; a hair style) and "With the e-mail style, get it over with!", both of which are currently on the "Style" page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::Hmm. I was under the impression that the page was not for citing usage of "style" when it's a common phrase in American English. Not that it's necessarily authoritative, a [http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=%22headbrow+style%22&word2=%22comedy+stylings%22 GoogleFight] between the examples we've cited proves interesting. Fact is, there's a LOT of examples of this phrase's usage. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:12, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== My revert ==

Hey, Jay, just wanted to let you know I've been talking to Lapper on IRC and he is almost done with the whole transcript (he's apparently not doing it in installments like I do, but getting it all done at once). That's why I reverted back to the inprogress tag. Just wanted to clarify. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

:Jay only said that he's not the only one to have no 20X6 counterpart.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
: '''EDIT CONFLICT'D!!''' ''(Ow! My response! But I'm saying it anyway.)'' You misunderstood. My reasoning was this:
:# If you say "Homsar is the only main character without an Old-Timey counterpart", without mentioning 20X6, then the statement is true.
:# If you say "Homsar is the only main character without a 20X6 counterpart", without mentioning Old-Timey, then the statement is false (Bubs, Strong Mad, Strong Sad, The King of Town, and The Poopsmith also have no 20X6 counterparts, and the counterparts of Marzipan and The Cheat have yet to actually ''do'' anything.

As a reply to [[Subtitles talk:sbemail167/en]], there was only one easter egg to subtitle.

== In Regards to SB's mouth in Record Book ==

Even in the old animations, whenever SB makes an o sound, including the ou sound, his mouth turns round. It did when he said round, which has the same vowel sound as mouth. Yet when he said mouth in the email, his mouth did not turn round as it was supposed to. This is especially noteworthy as he was contesting his mouth being rectangular all the time when the goof was made.

HRWiki:Changing username

2008-04-09T02:12:19Z

School of Rock: /* School of Rock */

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, [[HRWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.
==Requesting a change==

To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request to the bottom of the section below. Use the following template: <code><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></code>
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

==Current requests==
<div style="background:#FFC;text-align:center;border:1px solid #CC9">'''Please use this template for new requests: <tt><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></tt>'''</div>

Could you change my name to "Moonea"? I know the name is created; it's my old account, and I never entered a password and was logged out. I also forgot my password to that account. Thank you in advance! 12:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

===Dramus===
Could you change all edits with the name 'Dramus' to 'TDSDramus'? I'm the same person, but I forgot my password for the Dramus account, and did not have an E-Mail address linked to the Dramus account. Thanks. [[User:TDSDramus|Lifing for love, drinking for free.]] 04:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Wait a minute. Are you and the fanstuff user Cow Puncher the same person? If you are, then you should have said so. If you're not, then you need to stop referring to yourself using that name. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

::Yes, you've established yourself rather heavily here under your current name, and as such I am rather disinclined to change it. Perhaps you could shed some light on why you would make this request. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Um, guys, everyone knew The Goblin as Techgeekmbg (as I still do) and yet you changed his name without this much investigation. Why are you picking on Sam? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 02:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
::::I don't like it that techie got changed... i think that this whole name change thing is dumb unless it's a minor spelling or capitalization fix, or a switch for a relatively new user... but for an established user like techie or sam, i wouldn't think it a good idea at all. (Ya hear that sam? i'm saying that you're well known round these parts) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:05, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
:::::I was going to say that Sam has also been here longer, but then I checked the logs, and Sam's only a month older, account wise, than Techgeek (March 7 to April 25, respectively). So now my argument's all shot to whatsit. I guess Sam just established himself earlier than Techgeek. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
::::::The biggest (but certainly not only) difference between the two cases is that Techgeek demonstrated a long time ago that he wanted a new name, and over time his feelings on the matter remained the same. Sam, on the other hand, seems to be making the request on a whim (or maybe not, but he hasn't given us much to go on here). I'm not completely against making the change for him, but I think it would be fair for him to give us a pretty good reason to even consider it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Here's some reasons:
*I love baseball, and my email is "strikeoutsam@——".

::After further reflection, I'm not going to change your name. Sorry. You've established yourself under the name you have, and that's the name you need to keep. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:07, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:::But everyone knows me as Sam the Man, the guy who got blocked. I want to be Strikeout Sam, please!? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 22:08, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Honestly, if you hadn't brought up the fact that you had ever been blocked, I wouldn't have remembered it. Nobody really dwells on that. (And, for what it's worth, it's not like changing your name erases those records.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::Strikeout Sam the Man, or whoever you are, I think you have made some pretty good points for changing your name (besides the bit about a "fresh start" which I don't really follow). You use another name elsewhere and its the name you prefer. And you've been sitting on it for three months, so if the change is made I don't really see you changing your mind and wishing you hadn't gone through with it. To anyone trying to dissuade him, I'd suggest that a rename is probably preferable to him registering for a new account and abandoning his history completely (which I hope it doesn't come to). Let the guy have his new name. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::Just to clarify, you guys are free to keep talking, but this thread actually ended four posts ago. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Here's a reason your argument on "Oh, I like this name better now than I did when I joined." I, admittedly, changed my username for that reason, but I 1) was not well known at the time. 2) used the name I changed to in my signatures ever since I got one. You have not expressed either of those. Furthermore, if I were to suddenly say "Oh, my new online alias is s0merand0mdude, change it to that please," I would get shot down in similar fashion. Just say that outside the wiki, you are known as StrikeoutSam. Problem solved. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 23:25, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

:Nah, you don't need to change your name. We've got several Homestars out there, the most notable being [[User:Homestar Coder|Homestar Coder]], and four syllables has a much nicer cadence than a mere two. Also, you've been here a while, and you have a lot of edits. (I'm not saying we've never changed names of people who have a lot of edits, but I've come to realize it's something we should avoid unless there's a really compelling reason.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:05, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I decided I liked my 92nd day of the leap year prank so much i wanted to change my name to it entirely. Just like a super bowl commercial turns into a regular commercial. Besides, Kevin G.

::::::::::::::::It's admirable to want to help the wiki. We need as many people—sysops and users alike—who will do that.     Around here, we consider several factors when choosing whom to make sysops, and the most important consideration is trustworthiness. A close second is participation in the project. Rounding out the top six are the ability to deal with other users (especially in mediating disputes or deciding when to step in), technical know-how, the necessity for another position (that is, whether or not the wiki needs more sysops at any given time), and finally seniority. ([[bottom 10|Number seven]] on the top-six list is [[Senor Cardgage|senority]], which is the ability to make bad H*R-related jokes.)     With those things in mind, at this time I would not be comfortable with making you a sysop. Not long ago, you vandalized this wiki and less than a day ago you were blocked from the fanstuff wiki for persistent trolling. I think it will take a while for people to trust you again after that. Additionally, you currently don't meet the [[User_talk:It%27s_dot_com/Let%27s_Get_Started_on_Doing_All_Those_Awesome_Things_I_Suggested#How_to_become_a_sysop|participation requirements]]. That is, you really don't have that many edits in the main or talk namespace nor have you done a big project. I haven't seen how you handle stress or abuse from problematic users and I don't know the status of your technical know-how (again, because I don't have a large sample of edits from which to judge). Last (and this one matters the least to me but is nevertheless important) there's the question of seniority: In other words, even if all else were equal, quite a few deserving people have been here a lot longer than you, and would thus be ahead of you in line whenever we promote the next user(s).     Please don't think I'm trying to be overly discouraging, but your persistence in asking has made me want to be as unambiguous as possible. (By the way, asking for a position of power—no matter where you are (except maybe Wikipedia)—is a sure way to guarantee that the position will ''not'' be handed to you. Just so you know.) I encourage you to read the link above about the requirements and follow its advice. Over time, perhaps a long time, if you make good contributions and keep your nose clean, then you might be more seriously considered.

::::One other thing, Thing: as I'm sure any of the sysops can tell you, it might not be as fun as it looks from the other side of the fence.

(Except it ''doesn't'' come with the ability to swing through Manhattan streets in spandex.) Also, about helping the wiki: yeah, deleting pages and blocking folks help, but it's really only a small percentage of the work that improves the wiki: the bulk of it is regular users editting and reviewing each other's edits.

If I may throw in my own perspective on this, "with great power comes great responsibility." From what I've observed, being a sysop means making a lot of tough judgement calls, speaking nicely to people when you'd rather not, getting blamed for just about anything that goes wrong (real or perceived) and a lot of really hard work.

A free download is available (which is the version I have, and it meets my needs pretty well), and the full version looks to have a lot of features. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:53, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

== G'bye ==
dot, I think I am going to take a break from the wiki. I just wanted you to answer a question of mine: do you ever feel like the wiki ends up affecting more than just the wiki aspect of your life? I mean, Ciberdude's got my IM screenname and my email address, and he won't stop from either. I know you can't help me with this, but I think I have to make myself a little more discreet the next time I come on here. That's why I'm taking a break. Just act like I'm gone for good, okay? I'll be back soon, just not for a while. Thanks for all the privelages. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 03:41, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, giving out personal info can be useful, but it can come back to haunt you sometimes. Take care, man. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
::I will. And even if you lose your sysop privelages, block ciberdork while I am gone. I'll still edit anonymously. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 03:46, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Seriously, Seriously, you say the weirdest things. Talk atcha later. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:50, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Seriosuly, Seriously. I mean Seriously. What. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 03:53, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::So, i finally learned to block email addresses, and IM ones too. So.....I guess I'm on the wiki again, and once again I am wildly exaggerating like I always do. Ah well. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 22:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

== What did you do ==
I would just like to make a counterpoint to hating guestbooks, even though the discussion is over. Have you ever thoguht how much sigs should be deleted? You must have, because if you are going to delete guestbooks like you did, the exact same reasons apply to sigs. People working on their sigs clutters up the recent changes, I know because I do it '''all the time'''. Sigs are not contributing to the wiki, just like you insist guestbooks don't. And finally, They give no proof that someone ever read your userpage, something that by the way is something that people either do or don't but that shouldn't matter to anyone else. I just think that What you and the admins did was entirely opinionated. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
:No proof, eh? Well, I guess that someone could read a user page in a matter of seconds and then promptly sign a guestbook. Not all sigs clog recent changes, just yours. Sigs are a means of identifying a user, and thus serve a purpose. I am not meaning to reply for It's dot com, but I just wanted to say this. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 22:58, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
::Also, I bet a lot of sig flooding could be stopped if people just used "Show Preview". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::: Sigs exist anyway; you edit them in your user preferences (which does not show up on Recentchanges). The custom, however, is to create a User/sig template and use ''that'' as your sig. The User/sig versions are used because:
:::# They're easier to edit.
:::# If you edit one, ''all'' of your signatures change. If you edit the sig in your preferences, only ''future'' signatures change.
::: What's more, custom sigs of any sort allow links to your Talk or Contributions page, and make it easier to tell who's who (if you see a light blue sig with a green "Talk" area, it's probably me. If you see a gold-colored sig with symbols on both sides, it's likely Thunderbird. etc.) I'd take that over not being able to tell if I've previously read a user page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:29, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
:::And, by the way, it was not the admins' decision to remove them; they may have started the voting, but ''everyone with a user name'' could vote. I abstained voting entirely because I don't really care. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Got it. Reluctantly. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:16, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

== Sorry ==

Sorry about re-making those User_talk:Drwho? pages. I wuz trying to mark them delete but you already deleted them. {{User:The thing/sig}} 23:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

== Two Questions ==

Hey Dot com, what's up? I have two questions. First, where did you post that discussion where someone was asking how to do links that were not underlined and you tried an example which didn't quite work correctly? (This is indirectly related:) I was wondering if you could take a look at [[User_talk:Invisible_Robot_Fish/Projects|this]] issue. Thanks! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
:See [[#Super-plain_link]]. Note: old how-to questions from my talk page are filed under ''The System Is Down → Technical help''. On your second question, I'm not sure what you're asking. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:16, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
::For the first question, I looked briefly and couldn't find it (actually i scanned the page twice) but couldn't find it. I was scanning too quickly. As for the second issue, it turns out to be a firefox issue :(. Nerd42's sig goes beyond the table borders for some reason. I looked at the sig code and all the tags were closed off. I hope you have a copy of firefox to look at this cuz i'm not gonna provide a screenshot of it right away! ;) I gotta eat! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
:::I'd post it in a more central place, like the FAQ talk. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:31, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
::::Good idea! Just so you know, I found out another reason why you wouldn't be able to see it: resolution. The problem only happens when you wrap text a certain way. As a result, I have [[User_talk:Invisible_Robot_Fish/Projects#Strange|posted]] an [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/Projects&oldid=255516#Timeline_project update] and a [[:Image:Nerd42sigProblem.png|screenshot]] of the problem, as well as an inquiry in the [[HRWiki_talk:FAQ#Sig_image_bug|FAQ talk page]]. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 14:45, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

== trolling ==

Just so I can learn the game a little more, how did you know that those last few blocks were Yeltensic, I looked in the user contribs and didn't see much. Teach me OB1, your my only hope :-P {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 16:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, often times he makes a remark that identifies him as, in fact, yeltensic. If he didn't do that, then I'll step aside and let dot comster answer this. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 17:22, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I just looked at the blcok log, and I have to admit I am confused. He must have matched the IP addresses. Also, there are two new users that are created. How do we know they're not yeltensic? {{User:Seriously/sig}}

:User:18593095NSMC90531234 wasn't trolling. I heard about the NSMC people but mabe this wasn't. {{User:The thing/sig}} 22:03, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

::Yes he was. I didn't say vandalism, I said trolling. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

:::How? {{User:The thing/sig}}

::::I agree with The thing on this one. Even though he might look like NSMC at first glance, take a look at the article on Uncyclopedia [http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/HRWIKI about our wiki]. At the near bottom, it says "If you happen to be new, register with the username: 18593095NSMC90531234 - Trust me, it'll be fun." This is the ''exact same username''. It seems to me that this guy just didn't know anything about NSMC or this wiki and got Punk'd. He wasn't doing anything bad (yet), so why block him because of "trolling"? Although I would suggest that he get a better username. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::Yea. {{User:The thing/sig}} 22:13, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::LLok at this '''North Shore Medical Center''' same first letters. {{User:The thing/sig}}

::::::I know exactly where he got the username, and it's the reason I knew what his intentions were. Trolling is the (usually intentional) provocation of a person or community with the aim of getting a negative reaction. Even if he just did it on a lark (which I doubt), he should know better than to blindly follow instructions he came across in a place like that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

== seriosly ==

i dont think its fair to bann me every tiem I talk to seriously, he is a big user on the wiki and if i am to become a good contributor i will have to stop pretending he doesnt exist. i think i've been banned enough to know not to fight with him.— {{user:Ciberdude444/sig}} 22:57, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

== Babel ==

I understand why you think that the [[HRWiki:Babel|Babel]] towers will be better with the source code rather than the templates, but I really think that templates will make it a lot easier to use and more user friendly. I understand that there would be a lot, but noinclude tags could be used to keep track of them. Source code is fine, but do you think that I could at least try with Templates, and if it gets too confusing switch back to source code? -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 00:23, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
:I think we should try with the source code first. It's not too hard to get the hang of. (Besides, it's just copy and paste for most people. ;) ) I don't have a problem with a generic template, but we don't need to create a whole slew of them for a non-mainspace thing such as this. Plus, this way, people won't be limited by just the ones in the templates (although we do ask that they be Homestar Runner (or wiki) related). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:31, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

== ciberdude444 ==

im not ciberdude, hes my brother, my computer is auto loged on and he used it to post that talk, i didnt say anyhting cause of the warm welcome i had at the wiki compared to my brother's fued and destruction it was better not to connect me with him in any way. — {{user:Yourmomgoestocollege/sig}} 20:31, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

== Recent block ==
Umm... are you sure that IP you blocked recently is the right guy? Because I checked his contribs and he hasn't done anything vaguely trollish. Except, maybe for editing Tampo's sig and page, but Tampo din't seem to mind, which leads me to believe he ''is'' Tampo. If he's not, he still seems like a fine user. Any reason why you blocked him? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:19, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

:Yea! --{{User:The thing/sig}} 20:10, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
::The IP in question was not blocked for no reason. It was being used (as you can see above) to create multiple accounts in a short amount of time, which were then being used for vandalism. I will unblock the IP for now, but I'll be keeping an eye on it. P.S. The thing: Exactly what was the point of your post? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:29, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

== Admin sigs ==
Why do none of the admins excepy JoeyDay have customized their sigs? I'm thinking maybe you guys are too busy to do that stuff. Just wondering if you knew. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:47, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:Well, that's not quite true, unless you have a very narrow definition of admin. If by admin you mean someone on the [[Template:adminteam|Admin Team]], then [[User:Stu|Stu]] definitely has a [[User:Stu/sig|signature]]. If you mean people who are on the Admin Team and are currently active in the day-to-day maintenance of the site, then you're right, only Joey has really customized his signature. Of the six of us, however, only [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] has no customization to speak of. [[User:Tom|Tom]], [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]], and I all have subtle modifications from the standard. If, on the other hand, when you say admins you mean sysops, then there is quite a bit of customization. [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] and [[User:FireBird|FireBird]] have had special sigs for as long as I can remember, as have [[User:Jay|Jay]], [[User:Homestar Coder|Homestar Coder]], [[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]], and [[User:The Paper|The Paper]]. [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]'s modification is a slight tweak, and [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] and [[User:Furrykef|Furrykef]] haven't been here in a while. Even [[User:GrapeNuts|GrapeNuts]] (a bot) has a [[User:GrapeNuts/sig|sig]]. As for the heart of your question: Why do Tom, [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]], and I have more or less "plain" signatures? Well, Tom's is like that because he's ornery about such things. BazookaJoe's and mine are like that because it just looks right. Since everyone else goes to such great lengths to customize their signatures, ''not'' doing so becomes a customization in itself. — [[User:It's dot com|''It's dot com'']] 23:30, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Cool font. I meant the admin team, without the sysops, By the way. Stu, well I've never actually seen him make an edit. Although I did hear that he was joey's friend. I just think that if you have a sig, you should make it have more convenience, like having a link to your talk page. Thnaks for the answer. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:35, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

:And Dot com has toyed with his signature in the past [[User talk:Thunderbird L17/Archive 8#Towards a more standards-compliant signature|once or twice]], a long while back. That special sig you just made looks pretty cool, if you ever did decide to change it for good. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:35, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
::GrapeNuts has a sig? Dot com customizing his!? What is the world coming to!? ''This message is {{User:GrapeNuts/sig}} approved (not really, I just wanted an excuse to use his sig :).'' --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:04, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

:::Weird. And ''you'', thunderbird, had a blue sig. That scares me. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 05:10, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
::::Um, I just wanted to know what subtle modifications you, Tom, and InterruptorJones have on your sig. Do you mean past versions? Also, what is DrHaggis's slight tweak? {{User: Seriously/sig}} 01:25, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::Tom has a nonbreaking space in front of his (and used to have an empty link). I have an em dash. Interruptor Jones has both of those and uses small tags. Dr Haggis's real username is Drhaggis. All of us put the modifications directly in the preferences box, instead of using a sig template. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:59, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::So you don't have to put an em dash alll the time? That's really cool. I think Ill do that. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 03:00, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

== Fanstuff on the knowledge base ==
By the way, you say I have to delete my caption contest, yet you don't seem to think about the amazing amount of people doing translations on their userpages. Also, you should think about Has Matt?'s page that includes homsar quotes that other people can edit. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:I can't realy think of many people who do translations. Even then, the translations themselves are direct quotes and the replies are occurring on the talk pages. The reason I had a problem with your activity is because not only were you inviting people to edit your user page, you were asking them to ''create new H*R-related content'' based on the toons, which is the very definition of fanstuff. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:38, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
::Ah. I realize that my above comment was a little bit too harsh; I apologize for that. I try to stay nice with users, since most already have a reason to hate my guts (including you). So, yeah. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:42, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:::Er, okaaay.... — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
::::Well, DBK does, after the extremely insolent remark I made on his user page, And you have a reason because of [[User: Ciberdude444|Something I can't mention.]] Also, Firebird has an excuse because I was blocked by him for trolling, and Yeltensic has a reason (although he's not a user anymore) because I was one of the people who asked him to stop most. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:47, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::One of the coolest things in this wiki is that everybody generally treats each other with respect and with maturity. Most of the people I know here do their job (be it editing pages, commenting on behavior, or taking action nobody wants to have to take but that needs to be taken) and then move on if need be, and so we try not to harbor little things that may be divisive or in the long run inconsequential. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:04, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::Well, you see, "Seriously" can mean both your username or "in a serious manner".

:::::::::::Oh good, I knew you weren't that popular :P Maybe with all the code fiddling you do, you somehow reversed the number of talk page views with the number of userpage views or something.

:::::::::::::The number is so small because the counter was reset to zero when this page was moved back incorrectly from a vandal. It had to be deleted and recreated, and that's probably what caused the problem. And Heimstern, do you have your preferences set to hold page caches? If you do, that's probably what caused the view count to jump. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 06:30, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::::Aw, man! You're probably right, HSRusername. That really bums me out. I would reset my counter, except that I have no idea what to set it to. By the way, as far as I know, I've never messed with anything that would affect those numbers. Maybe they've gone up dramatically because an outside bot is gathering data or something (like for Google). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::At the very least, as of [[User talk:Thunderbird L17/Archive 16#6,000 views!|06:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)]], you had over 6,000 talk page views, and just under 6,000 userpage views. I think it's safe to give yourself at least a 10,000 talk page view head start, as long as you give your userpage a 10,000 view handicap. That should get you somewhat back on track. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:38, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::Well, I found an archive just before all the hubbub that put the count at 10,071. I added that to the 958 currently showing to get 11,029, and used that figure to reset my counter. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:55, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

==Autocolumn==

Btw, I wanted to say excellent work on the autocolunm feature. I was looking at the Strong Bad Email tables yesterday, thinking an autocolumn thing would be a nice feature, and lo and behold not two hours later it had been converted. Nice work. (I suppose for colunms such as the ones on my userpage though, it doesn't have any useful application, correct?) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 14:25, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

== The Smoking Monkey's talk page ==
Why isn't what he did bad to you? Before you say no, let me explain. First of all, he embarassed me ''and'' The thing on his talk page '''on purpose''', second of all, he said apology's to dot com, which means he knew this would have a certain outcome to certain people like me, you (which for some reason you find fine), and the thing. This is a perfect example of premeditated malice. And third of all, would you like it if someone made fun of you on their talk page for everyone to see? {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:24, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:I have asked The Smoking Monkey to revert or remove the thread. If you find it insulting, then it is a personal attack, which we don't want. I assure you this was not The Smoking Monkey's intent, but that is beside the point. Let me take this opportunity, however, to suggest that learning to laugh at one's self is one of the most difficult yet rewarding things a person can do. In addition, I think you should ''stop'' apologizing and ''start'' adding more content to this site. Whenever I click on your contribs, I notice that over the last week your user talk contribs outnumber your main namespace contribs 7 to 1. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
::yes. I understand. Also, I've been adding to the wooky (a major overhaul of the site just because I feel sorry for it), so I havn't had much of a chance. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:10, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to flag a sysop. [[other days]] was mildly vandalized. I fixed it but figured you might want to know about it. Feel free to delete this from your talk if you want. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:22, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:Simple nuisance vandalism can just be fixed and then ignored. The best way to let us know about more serious vandalism is to post it on [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]]. Then we'll get it taken care of. Thanks for reverting that page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:41, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Did I miss something or is this just deja vu? I *just* noticed that the order of the "diff" and "hist" buttons are out of order from the other wiki's.

:::::::::::::I wasn't party to this at all, so I don't really know what happened in this particular case. But I will say this: I said once before that I thought the ops here were being too lenient on The Thing, as he's had a history of vandalism and trolling in the past, and everyone seems to be very quick to defend him. (Lots of "I'm sorry's" and "I won't do it again!'s".) I don't deny he's also made good edits here, but I have not seen discipline executed equally to him as has been to others who've done similar things, or less. That's kinda frustrating to see. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

You all need to complain to your teachers for not teaching you how to read. While you're at it, Seriously and The thing, go ahead and post a mailing address where I can send a bill to your parents for babysitting you. On the main page talk, I said that anyone caught vandalizing in our name would be dealt with. I have neither the time nor the resources to try and police other wikis. The message regarding other wikis means that if you vandalize Uncyclopedia, for example, ''in retaliation'' for something that happens here, then at that point you are speaking for ''all'' of us here, and I care very much that you don't do that. But random vandalism doesn't concern me. To The thing: I can't believe that you think vandalism is funny, especially given that you're an administrator at a wiki. To Seriously: you need to learn what is and what isn't important, and stop being such a tattletale. And stop speaking for me. In one place you say "No matter what, you must get blocked." You have neither the authority nor the experience to be making claims like that. To KieferSkunk: The thing didn't actually do anything (in this case) to harm our wiki or its good name, and therefore there are no grounds for blocking him. (And he ''has'' been blocked recently by BazookaJoe for spamming.) To anyone who needs to hear this: Stop vandalizing. Stop behaving so immaturely (and don't blame your actions on your age; I know several young good contributors). Wiki usage is not a right; it's a privilege. And for goodness' sake, stop apologizing. You've said you're sorry so much that the words have no meaning. Let your future actions be your apology. That's all for now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:38, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
:In reply to your comment to me: I understand, and I'm not asking for him to be blocked in this case. I was making a more general comment about The Thing's history, seeing as how I have witnessed vandalism from him in the past and saw people, even sysops, defending him and going way out of their way to reason with him, rather than treating him as a vandal. I didn't understand it at the time, and I still don't, so I left my comments on the matter at "I think you're being too lenient with him". This was mainly just a follow-up on that, more to mention that I'm not surprised another "incident" has come up than anything else. That's all. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
::Well, unless an account is being used for nothing but vandalism, then [[HRWiki:Blocking_Policy#Vandalism|reasoning should always be exhausted]] before blocking is implemented. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:53, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
:::Just who do you think you are? ''Babysitting''? Y'know, it's not like I've ever done anything mean to you. Yes, I spoke for you. Just trying to help and to see it in the eyes of an admin. Yes, I've answered your talk page questions for you with crappy answers. Again, jsut trying to help. These things don't mean you have to insult me like that. Y'know, I've really never done anything bad to you on purpose. I always had great respect for you, and I've never purposely insulted you like you just did. You need to learn how a simple misinterpretation of a comment on the main page talk should'nt be an excuse for acting like that. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

::::To Seriously: As one who has been an admin several times in other places, one thing I can say with certainty is that many admins feel very put off and are easily annoyed by non-admins (and especially relatively new people) trying to speak for them. Dictating policy to other users on behalf of the admins is usually a no-no unless you are an admin or are trusted by the admins to do so. (Obviously, I can't speak for It's dot com, but if I were in his place dealing with this crap, that's how I'd feel.) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:17, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::And if you haven't figured it out by now who I am, Seriously, then you've got deeper problems than I can fix in one afternoon. To The thing: whatever, man. To KieferSkunk: Hear, hear. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:23, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::Okay. Here it goes, time for me to swallow my pride:

Look, Dot com, I just don't want to be treated like a baby. In my opinion, I think being a tattletale is the wrong was to think about it, I prefer "fighting trolls, and trying to help you with your rule". Yes, I was disrespectful to you. I just needed to prove my point and express my anger at you. Also, I know you are an admin. Maybe I ''was'' a bit overboard with you; that doesn't mean what I said was entirely wrong. I mean, I apologize, but it's not like I'll kiss your ring and beg for forgiveness. I've got to be a bit more defiant than that to ever prove my point. Just remember: I've always, ''always'' tried to help you, and I just found your comment a bit mean. Just forgive me, please, and let this whole thing disappear. Thanks a lot. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:11, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

:Seriously, have you been reading this thread and understanding it? It's dot com has stated just 8 posts up: "And for goodness' sake, stop apologizing." You are still relatively new to this wiki, and your experience has been limited to editing User and User talk pages. You said yourself you give "crappy answers" to questions that don't concern you. When I first joined, I watched conversations like this unfold and saw how responsible admins reacted. I didn't try to solve everybody's problems; I knew I didn't have the knowledge. Just keep to yourself for a while and maybe see what it's like to make some main namespace contrubutions.

I'm still at the conference, it was really great. IRC doesn't work on the terminals, but suffice it to say, I was here, got autographs, (not many questions) and it was really great. I'll try and get a writeup on Wednesday evening. --TBird

:::Too late. His IP's been blocked. He'll log in when he needs to, but I have one question: If he was TBird, why did he sign TBird instead of his IP (accidentally typed <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> without knowing he wasn't logged in) or with his sig (or siggie, I guess)? It doesn't seem right. I mean, if he can edit annonymously, he can edit logged on, and I think the first thing he'll ask if he can't log in is why he can't. Plus, he would know that an IP editing as a user would most likely be reverted. We could unblock the IP and see if TBird can log on now, I guess. Wouldn't hurt, but I still think it wasn't him. I dunno. Oh, also, if it was him, sorry, just don't want anybody impersonating you. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 03:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

As a senior sysop and an admin here, if we are being trolled by someone, for how long he or she should be blocked. I know that known trolls like NSMC, Dr. Who and others are blocked forever, but what about small calibar trolls? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
:It's pretty much a judgment call in almost all cases. For IP addresses, 1 to 3 days, depending on the severity of the vandalism. For ''really'' bad stuff, a week or so. If a vandal is obviously changing IPs within a narrow range, blocking the range X.X.X.0/24 (or 23) usually works. Users who make useful contributions should be reasoned with first if possible, not blocked. Accounts created for no purpose other than to vandalize should be blocked infinitely. Hope that helps! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:13, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

:''Anyone'' who had made any edit since around the beginning of February was considered. Of the ones we took, they were each chosen not only because they are deserving but also to fill certain niches. As we say, we will add new sysops as our circumstances warrant, and this time circumstances warranted the number and specific users that we took.

== User groups ==
I have a question: I know what a sysop does, and I know what a beaurucrat does, but what do you get to do as a developer that nobody else can? I'm just wondering what it means it have the promotion. Thanks. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
:For those of you following along at home, I was technically made a bureaucrat and a developer on the same day. The only reason I wasn't added to the developer group in the wiki software is because there's a subtle difference between being a developer and being in the developer group. At the time I was made a developer, the wiki developer group was inactive. Since then, we reenabled it, and when we did, I was put in the group, even though for practical purposes I was already in it. Make sense? Okay, now that we have that out of the way: Bureaucrats can assign and unassign users to groups (usually to make sysops), and can also rename users. People in the developer group can lock and unlock the database. That originally was the only function available, but since then I have extended it somewhat using my developer abilities. And here's the distinction: a developer has direct access to the server and database. They can see server logs, view raw database data, and modify system software (to improve upon it). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
::And is there anything special about Joey Day's "proprietor" group? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::No, it was created for purely narcissistic purposes (Joey's words, not mine). -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:42, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

:::: This is true. There is nothing special about the [[Special:Listusers/proprietor|proprietor]] user group. I'm not usually one to be so narcissistic, but I thought it made some sense, and I did it mostly because I could. We've never been able to create custom user groups before MediaWiki 1.5, or I might've created a proprietor group a long time ago. Actually, in a way this is the opposite of narcissistic, as it allows for the possibility of others having proprietorship at some time in the future, and adds a layer of abstraction between myself and the title of proprietor. In the past, we've always linked directly to my user page in places where we mention the proprietor, but we should change all those places to link to the proprietor list. I'll get right on that. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 23:26, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

== Dr. Who Never Strikes Again ==

Ok. I've got to admit, somewhat grudgingly, that you caught me earlier. I AM in fact Dr. Who. But I really wasn't planning on using this account for vandalism. Yesterday after I attacked the fanstuff wiki I saw that I had hurt someone's feelings and I felt terrible when it put a personal face on what I'd done. I'm ready and willing to talk to you about why and how I did all of that trolling if you just give me this chance. Of course, I would understand if you banned me right away, but I'm asking you to give it a try. Sincerely, [[User:Taco Salad of My Dreams|Taco Salad of My Dreams]]
:I can't speak for all the other sysops, but I won't ban you if you're willing to talk civilly. The whole reason I posted on your talk page was to find out about you and talk to you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:33, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
::Ok then, here goes. I believe the first trolling I ever did was under the name "you smell", where I added that phrase several times to the [[Characters]] page. I decided that it was funny that someone coming to learn would see that (yes, I know, very immature and stupid of me). That was the full extent that I knew of what I was doing. I later learned of the concept of wiki vandalism from Uncyclopedia. I have been using this wiki for years without knowing exactly how maintenance worked; when I did I became jealous of the sysops. I wished to make a name for myself here without doing years of work (rather like WoW, I was trying to gain infamy). My attacks became somewhat meaner as I went on, and I attacked users when I got tired of simply tampering with content. I started thinking of ways to justify it to myself, such as that injustice was being done to me over userboxes, or that my name alone had gotten me banned. I guess I saw it as a way to "break loose" because I am normally NOT a rude or confrontational person. I just stopped for two reasons: I was ashamed of myself, and I was inspired by the way [[User:Granola|Yeltensic]] had turned himself around. In any case, I am deeply sorry. The least I can do is tell you how I did the vandalism so that you can better protect against anything that might happen in the future.
::I used two dynamic IP's: Safari and AOL. Aol has a set of three or four dynamic IP's that change within a narrow range from page to page. Safari's IP changes once every day, but it usually retains the first two segments (75.123.12.32, 75.123.32.34.... and so on). I opened numerous windows at once and typed in my edits and (sigh) summeries. This way the vandalism was at a high speed. I hope at least me telling you this helps (or rather, that you won't need it). [[User:Taco Salad of My Dreams|Taco Salad of My Dreams]]
:::I am willing to give you a chance. Several of your latest incarnations have actually showed some promise, and I hope you can build on that. Once again, I can't speak for all users and sysops, but in general we're a pretty forgiving bunch. I caution you that you will have to prove yourself (assuming others also give you a chance), and our collective patience with you might not be what it would be for a normal new user.
:::Thanks for the technical info (although I did already know that, by the way; that's how I was able to post on your talk page before you'd even made any real edits). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Cool, two headings in a row. Alrighty, I have two things to talk about. One - would you be able to post your source code for the extensions you wrote somewhere, such as [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Mediawiki_Extensions here]? Two - do you know how to add a tab from within an extension? I figured out how to do it by editing SkinTemplate.php, but is there any way to have the same effect through an extension? (I'm trying to add a purge tab next to watch/unwatch). - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 10:22, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
:I do plan to publish the extensions I have written. They need a bit of polishing, standardizing, and commenting before I would post them in a public place, however. As for the tab thing, I'm guessing you want more of an add-on file rather than a patch in the original file? I'm not currently familiar enough with how the tabs are generated to be able to give you a good answer to that one, but I would be surprised if it could be done with a standalone extension. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:37, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

== Grizzly Chomps ==

Hi It's dot com,

I had a question, and I'm not sure where else to put it. Can you explain why you didn't you think my "Grizzly chomps" fun fact in the Candy Product was a good one? I may be biased, but I think it applies pretty well. TBC have been known to reference old and obscure pop-culture items in the past, and I can't think of any other "pre-bitten" candy product sold in stores. I'd like to think they had this product in mind when they made the toon. You can even Google for it and read up on it.

Anyhow, I just wanted to know what my options were for debating this fact. Is this is something I could put in STUFF for debate? And if so, how?

The submission was:
*The "built-in bite" shape of SBLOUNSKCHED! may refer to Grizzly Chomps, a [[Wikipedia:Hostess|Hostess]]-brand treat introduced in 1992. The package included two chocolate cupcakes with a bite-mark shape cut out of them, and the package bore a cartoon bear saying, "I start 'em, you finish 'em."

:I removed it because the Grizzly Chomps are so old and obscure that any similarity to SBLOUNSKCHED is likely just a coincidence. None of the secondary details match, especially the reason for the bite. In the case of Grizzly Chomps, the bear helps you eat it for some reason, but Strong Bad calls the bite in his candy a security measure to deter others from eating it. I think that TBC independently thought it was funny to have a bite missing from the candy, and to suggest otherwise is too much speculation for my taste.
:    That said, I am more than willing to help you set up a STUFF item. The relevant instructions are at [[HRWiki:STUFF/Newfact]]. You need to start at "2. The STUFF subpage". Hope that helps! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:37, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Unless you have über-1337 haxx0r access like our friend It's dot com here, the only way you're going to be doing anything to the wiki is with normal page loads, ie exactly as if you were editing it by hand, just automated. So any language that you can use to access the net you could theoretically use to write a bot. However since many languages have packages to simplify HTTP, these languages would be easier to use, and some languages (like Python) even have pre-built wikibot frameworks for you to work off. But this doesn't say you can't go and write your wikibot in pretty much any language – it's simply a matter of how hard it is to write. Python is a simple-to-learn language anyways. I doubt you would ever write a bot that used PHP, and rarely would you write one that used MySQL. And of course if you prefer to work with <code>socket</code> and <code>connect</code> in C, there's nothing stopping you from doing that either... it would just be extremely tedious to write. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:23, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

== Dangeresque change ==

(First off I'm new here so I don't know if I'm doing this right. Just so you know)

I'm the guy that changed the Dangeresque character page to note that dangeresque's glasses somehow stay on his head despite his total lack of ears. You changed it back, saying "(that's true, but it's not really very notable)"

Not notable? This is homestarwiki! You've got an entire page on the battle of strongbadia, despite the fact that it only applies to one email. And allow me to quote some other character pages...

Homestar: "Though he lacks a visible pair of arms, he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he does have arms, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. "

Bubs: "His facial configuration is puzzling; in Pumpkin Carve-nival, he appears to have a safety pin stuck through his face above an internal ear."

Marsipan: "Like Homestar, Marzipan has no visible arms, though she is able to interact with the world as though she did, being able to pick up and move objects, and even play a guitar. It is generally accepted that either her arms are invisible, or that she has limited telekinetic powers."

Strong Bad:"He has boxing gloves for hands (that always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), and a lucha libre mask for a head [...] Strong Bad may also have a Homestar-like telekinesis"

Um...so yeah. I'm not mad or anything. I just wanted to point out that dangeresque's floating glasses can probably be considered significant if all this other stuff is on the site. (Hey, you could even tie it in with Strong Bad's rumored telekinesis, right?)

In conclusion, sorry this comment was so long. I guess I'll check back on this page later to see if you offer a counter-argument. Thanks for reading!

:First of all, let me say thank you for taking the time to write such a lengthy comment. Why not take a second and [[Special:Userlogin|create an account]]? I agree with you that Dangeresque's glasses do not seem to have anything supporting them (although I suppose one could argue that they are held to his face by tension or even glue). My main problem with noting it on the Dangeresque page is that it really breaks up the flow of that sentence (which is based largely on the [[Dangeresque (theme)|Dangeresque theme]]). In addition, the information isn't really that central to the character; it's more like [[TBC]] just worked in the glasses as best they could given the features of Strong Bad's head. I'm not suggesting that we not note the information ''anywhere''. Perhaps you could put it in the list of [[Lack of Visible Arms#References to Other Apparently Invisible Body Parts|references to other apparently invisible body parts]].

See yas!

:Actually, you didn't include BazookaJoe. I put him in shortly before removing the list. The reason I took it out is that it's so subjective. What makes a user notable? That list could have easily been four times as long. I decided that it would be better not to have it at all. As something of a compromise, I inserted a link that pointed to the list of sysops (even though I know that not all of the sysops are active). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

== Special Pages ==

Can only Sysops edit Special Pages? --{{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 00:46, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

:Generally, pages listed as [[Special:Specialpages|Special pages]] are ones that are protected or generated by the wiki. As such, they are not editable by the common user, or by anyone. What makes a page uneditable to a common user like you or I is the protect template. See the image on the Main Page for an example, no edits can be made to it by someone lower than sysop. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:50, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
::I understand, but how did someone add the template to recent changes? --01:06, 24 April 2006 (UTC){{User:Dacheatbot/sig}}
:::The text on most special pages (including the recent changes page) is handled by pages in the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=8 MediaWiki namespace]. And yes, only sysops can edit these pages. The text in the message at the top of the recent changes, watchlists, and login screen is sub-controlled by a template ({{tl|recentchangesnotice}}) that we placed on the relevant MediaWiki pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:34, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

==Appropriate Username==
I have a question about the user [[User:Old timey Strong Bad|Old timey Strong Bad]]. Is that username appropriate, because I think it isn't really due to the similarity to [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]]. {{unsigned|Lopp3|21:35, 26 April 2006}}

== 65.167.69.XX ==

Hey, I did a little investigation. This IP range is notorious. I found blocks on it back to November, and comments that it is probably WoW. I know we gotta be reluctant to block a range, but I wanted to call your attention to this particular case. Take a look at the Block Log for the last 6 months to see what I am saying. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 13:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

== Poughwhatsie? ==

Actually, that's what I thought when that addition showed up a few days ago. It seemed like ''completely'' random trivia until I looked down at the context; "Poughkeepsie" is the destination in Homestar's word problem about trains entering tunnels. I guess this addition was an attempt to explain its significance (otherwise, why should two guys in Atlanta choose it aside from the funny-sounding name?). But if it's reinstated, it would need some rewrite to explain that (so the reader doesn't have to do the same thing I did). —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:07, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
:Meh, I don't see the point of including all that info, especially if there's any kind of link that can be clicked. It's barely mentioned in the toon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:13, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

== Patrolling ==

Perhaps you can clear something up for me? Are all users allowed/encouraged to patroll recent changes, or only those who have committed to the official "recent changes patrol"? [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 03:07, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
:It's not necessary to sign up (although it's nice to know who has committed to the work). I never patrol an edit unless I am pretty sure of (1) the overall content of the article, (2) the intent of the editor, and (3) whether or not the edit is good for the article. (Vandal edits still get marked as patrolled, but the article is immediately reverted. Likewise, edits that add incorrect information are either reverted or reworked as the situation warrants. By marking an edit as patrolled, I am saying either that an edit was good or that I'll fix it.) Hope that helps! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:16, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
::It does. Someday I may sign up for the patrol, but I think I want to observe for a while first. I'm still really new at determining the validity of edits, as my [[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Template:STUFF/senior_prom| recent adventure]] with STUFF demonstrates. [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 03:21, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
As you might have already noticed, I have finally joined up. However, patrolling has brought a new question: What standards do you use for the Talk pages? I assume they still need to be patrolled, but is that just to watch for cursing, flaming and the like? - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 03:35, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

== Even more recent block ==

I was wondering about the IP address you just blocked. I looked at his contributions, and his vandalism wasn't much. At least it didn't deserve a month-long block, in my opinion.

== When STUFF gets contradicted... ==

Hi, It's dot com. Here's a question that's been on my mind for a very, very long time (4 months):

What happens if we decline a STUFFed reference, thinking that it's unlikely, but then it turns out it was a reference after all? Say, for example, and I'm not saying that it is (even though I admit voting in favor), [[Happy Trogday]] WAS a homage to All Your Base, and that it is confirmed by TBC themselves on, say, the DVD commentary? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:31, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

:Well, we just write a nice letter to TBC explaining how they must be mistaken. Once we vote here, that's the end of it. :) Actually, this has happened several times (none springs to mind right this second, but I'm sure someone will list an example here shortly). In cases like that, we simply overturn our vote and note that TBC said so. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:33, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

== Magical Sysop Powers? ==

I've noticed that you and the other sysops around here are able to identify a user by their IP number. I have my own little personal wiki, running on the exact same version of MediaWiki as this one, of course without any changes made to this wiki after installation. As far as I can tell, I have no such all knowing, ip reading powers as the sysop of my wiki. Is this something you guys have edited the HRWiki to be able to do or am I completely missing a huge power of being a sysop? —{{User:Mibluvr13/sig}} 00:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
:I have already asked. They won't say.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 00:47, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
::Eh, okay then. Another mystery of the HRWiki goes unsolved. —{{User:Mibluvr13/sig}} 00:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I think they want to do this to us.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 00:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
::::The bureaucrats at this wiki have installed the position of "developer". On some wikis it is called checkuser. It allows users to check IP addresses of users in addition to the normal sysop powers. So yes, it's edited in. - {{User:Bub/sig}}
:::::That's not quite right, but it's kind of close, so, yeah, let's go with that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

== Paranormal Idol ==

Could you check the IPs of Paranormal Idol and HomeTron V20 on the fanstuff wiki? I think they might be the same person. - {{User:Bub/sig}}
:Sorry, but a request for that info would have to come from a fanstuff sysop. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
::Okay, could you please check the IPs of the following Fanstuff users: [[HRFWiki:User:HomeTron V20|HomeTron V20]], [[HRFWiki:User:Paranormal Idol|Paranormal Idol]], [[HRFWiki:User:Paranormal Idol2|Paranormal Idol2]], [[HRFWiki:User:Paranormal Idol3|Paranormal Idol3]] and [[HRFWiki:User:Ytmnd Boy|Ytmnd Boy]]. Here's the reason. (edited version of reasons written by Bub on [[HRFWiki:User talk:Joshua]].)
::HomeTron V20 was a player on an interactive game which Bub created. HomeTron apparently quit the wiki because his Fake Characters were getting deleted by Joshua (as per a different discussion). A couple of days later, a new user, Paranormal Idol joined the wiki. He then created two new accounts, Paranormal Idol2 and Paranormal Idol3, claiming that he lost the password to his original account. Paranormal Idol3 then joined the same interactive game. After playing it for a while and then dying (in the game), he left the wiki. A few minutes after this, Ytmnd Boy signed up and requested to be in Bub's interactive game using the same character as HomeTron V20. All of these users share the same style of grammar, spelling and the way they transcribe.
::In my opinion, this seems like valid grounds for an IP check. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 06:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Based on the IPs, they are the same user. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

::::::Yes. I edited and saved your page without making any changes in order to force the system to send you that message but without creating a new version of your page.

==Help Another Wiki?==
Greetings from [[Wookieepedia:|Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki]]. :) I'm one of the administrators over there ([[Wookieepedia:User:Jaymach|Jaymach]], if you'd like to check) and I have been told by [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] that you may be able to help us with something we are attempting to implement over there. We're looking into possibly using your "Image Code" verification, but only want to use it for Page Moves rather than every Page Edit. Do you know if this is possible at all and, if it is, is there any chance you could inform us how to do so? Feel free to contact me on [[Wookieepedia:User_talk:Jaymach|my talk page]]. Many thanks.

:It's okay, but you should be aware that people generally already know when their talk page has gotten pretty long. Pestering them about it rarely does more than annoy them.

::We try to shake down any problems we're going to encounter there before we apply the upgrade here. Not all fanstuffers are happy with this arrangement, but it's the best we've got, as it allows us to identify problems using a database that already has an enormous amount of content. If it's any consolation to them, we did spend an extensive amout of time testing the new features before we committed them to the live wiki.

== Hi ==

I was just lookin around on the wiki this morning and decided that I'd leave a brief hello message for you. 

Hi, It's Dot Com. 
I haven't really talked with you too much, so I felt like leaving you a message. What's up with you in real life lately? Anything cool happening that you'd like to talk about? Any interesting stories or other stuff? Are there any Wiki projects that need serious cleaning up or any pages that need creating? If so, I'd be glad to help with them. I don't really have too much wiki time any mroe, but I have a chance to be on this morning for a little while. I'd be glad to assist with any ongoing projects that are in need of serious help. If you get a chance, please reply on my talk page.

{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 13:27, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Could I add you to my friends list? I'd like to recognize you on my userpage for your remarkable work on this wiki over the time you've been here. Thanks for your time.

:Well, sure. You can't have too many friends. To answer your other questions: The Rangers are still doing well, and that makes me happy. I can't think of any projects off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's some good ideas over at [[HRWiki:The Stick]]. I also can't think of any pages that need to be created. I wish they would release the next toon so we can make a page for ''it''. (By the way, I replied here instead of your talk page because it's generally better to keep discussion in one place.)

Hey Dot com. I heard from some very reliable sources that you guys can delete user names.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 14:09, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
:"Can" is such a big word. Of course I ''can'' delete usernames. I can delete the whole wiki. (Not that I'm going to.) As for whether I ''will'' delete usernames, the answer is no; in general our [[HRWiki:Privacy policy#Removal of user accounts|policy]] is not to do that. Who said otherwise? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:18, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
::It just seems like its not a very good idea to keep a username on the list, like NSMC, some inappropriate usernames, Willy on wheels, etc. Well maybe not NSMC, for historical reasons. And I never said anyone said otherwise.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 14:23, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey! [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Cutepetsrus&diff=next&oldid=338955 What's] "rcid"? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 16:58, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
:It's the "Recent Changes ID". Each entry in the [[Meta:Recentchanges table|`recentchanges` table]] has a unique ID, which shows up in the URL when you click "diff" from [[Special:Recentchanges]] on an edit that hasn't been patrolled. The "rcid" part tells the system to display the "park as patrolled" link as you view the diff (even if the edit has [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&curid=710&diff=338906&oldid=338904&rcid=287736 already been patrolled]), and so it's not necessary to be included in a link on a talk page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

== Bad wording... ==
Hey Dot com. I was wondering about your accually typing the word (A good way of saying it) whatsit on a page. I know you already know this, but there are little kids on here. Can you reword it, please?--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 04:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
:No, I'm not going to reword it. There is a difference between ''using'' a word and referring to a word ''as a word''. Assuming that the user doesn't already know what his name means, then there would be no way to explain to him what the problem is without resorting to pedantic euphemism or a click-through, both of which are unnecessary given that (1) we should be mature enough to calmly discuss any subject, (2) the whole name itself is already as offensive as or more offensive than its components, and (3) the likelihood that a random user will find that page is close to zero. If it makes you feel better, I'll put a language warning there. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:11, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, this is CapitalQ from TMBW.net. We just upgraded to MW 1.6 yesterday (only to see 1.7 stable released today, but that's another story), and after seeing that templates in signatures automatically turn into substrings, ACupOfCoffee pointed us [[HRFWiki:HRFWiki talk:Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.6#Substituted Signatures of Death|here]], where you state "I have created a new variable that allows me to disable this so-called feature, which I now have done." If you could tell me exactly how you went about doing that, I'd be very greatful. Thanks. :) -[[TMBW:User:CapitalQ|CapitalQ]] 02:47, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

== /wiki/ redirect ==

I asked Interruptor Jones about this, and he told me to tell you, so... I think /wiki/ should redirect to /index.php/ because whenever I want to look something up in HRWiki by typing in the URL, I invariably end up typing "/wiki/" and getting the ol' 404. I'd just add <tt>Redirect permanent /wiki/ http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/</tt> somewhere in the .htaccess file, and it should work automatically. I think it'd be even better to do it the other way around and make "/wiki/" the canonical form and have index.php redirect to that instead, but not having used the MediaWiki software, I don't know the exact configuration options. Oh... and ever thought about moving some of the stuff on this huge talk page to an archive page? ;) - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 16:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

:Isn't typing the URL out a bit cumbersome? Why not create a [http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/smart-keywords.html smart-keyword] instead? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

::It's the way I've always done it, and it doesn't feel so cumbersome after having done it a million times with Wikipedia. Other people might not be aware of smart keywords (I wasn't until just now). Besides, what's the harm in setting up a redirect? :) - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 21:26, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

:::I'm not inclined to hack the wiki to aid one person's "way of always doing it". There are easier client-side options for what I percieve to be a client-side issue. Sorry. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:38, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

::::But is it just one person's way of always doing it, or are other people doing it, too? And I still don't see the harm in just adding a line to .htaccess; you wouldn't even have to restart the server or anything. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 03:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

:::::It's not that your request isn't easy to fulfill. I presented you with an alternative that would actually be quicker than if I made the change and you typed the entire URL. I don't see this as a problem with the wiki, I see it as an issue that is unique to a single user's behavior. Though I have to admit, I still might consider changing the <tt>index.php</tt> in the URL to <tt>wiki</tt> (making <tt>wiki</tt> the canonical form), but I'd want to go over the consequences of such a change with others first. (Note that this was [[HRWiki:Da Basement/Archive 2#Mod rewrite to remove index.php from URLs|discussed once before]].) -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:36, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm unindenting so this doesn't get too wide... anyway, we still haven't even established that I'm the only one who types /wiki/ -- do you have error log statistics to back it up, maybe? I also think the redirect would be a good idea because it would be more consistent with other wikis (I believe most of the most popular MediaWiki sites use /wiki/); inconsistency is why I make this error in the first place. I could make further arguments, for example, that the URL is part of the user interface of a website, and any user interface should anticipate user error. (It's not uncommon for a text-based program to understand both "exit" and "quit", for example.) I could make an analogy with "typo redirects" on wikis. I know, it sounds silly to back up such a little thing like this with so much, but it just feels like a redirect is the Right Thing. (I guess becoming a webmaster is having this effect on me.) Well, I don't suppose there's any more I can say on this subject, so do what you're gonna do. :) - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 20:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

== Ni hao! ==

Hey, Dot com, just wanted to say hello from China! Hope all's going well for you. Things have been crazy in China (in an awesome way), but I can't imagine I'll get much time to tell all you guys until I return to the USA... anyway, just wanted to give you a long-distance greeting. Zaijian! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:47, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:China man that's gotta be fun! Some day I hope to visit China. Just won't be any time soon. I do plan to go to Kansas City Missouri for a few days this summer! Hi Dot com! :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

:::I think I'm in a bit of an abnormal situation here, to be honest. I'm in about the nicest hotel in Shuangliu county and stuff like that. So in some ways, I have a lot of the conveniences of home. A lot of places in China aren't like that, or so I hear. But then again, China is growing like crazy in terms of technology and modernization. It seems like ''everyone'' here has a cell phone. Like, ''more'' oft than in the USA. I don't have time to say much more now, though. We'll talk more when I return. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

== Old main page style ==

Don't get me wrong, I love the new style, but there are still people complaining (well, on the forum). Is there a way to put that old style as one of the skins in the preferences? If it's too much work, it's fine with me, I like this style better, but some people don't. {{User:Ed smildE/signature}}

== long time no see ==

Hey there It's dot com, how have you been, havn't spoken in a long time, but now i can bacause its the school holidays for me. What's been happening with you?

Guess what: i recently had a maths and science test, and i got GOOD scores. 100% for science, and 107% for maths.

ps: i need to ask you something, you remember the time i asked you why you don't like the later seasons of simpsons, well on your userpage, it also says you don't like the later seasons of family guy either, whats the reason? Can i say , to me sometimes the ''recent'' episodes aren't the same as before. some of them use the same joke as before eg: marge and homer repeatetl arguing. Marge has changed alot, before she was a likeable character, now she seems.... different, do you get me?

Final note: What would be your favourite quotes of the simpsons, from the top of my head it's:

"And i say, a monkey ''can'' mown our lawn". Homer of the distance.
"I fell 8000 feet onto a pile of jagged rocks". Abe Simpson.
"(Austrian accent)Good-moring and welcome to advanced physics,1-0-1, i see alot of new faces, but as the old saying goes: "Out with the old, in with the Nuclues".(everyone laughs except homer). "Now let me just- whoops(drops notes). Homer stars laughing hard:"aha aha hah haha, a did you see that jerk, ah ah ah ha hah , AAAAAA he DROPED HE'S NOTES, AAAAAAA HAH HA H AH H aAAAAAAAAAA HA HA H A.

To me, this is one of my favourite episodes, mostly becasue i can make jokes to my brother about him being in University himself: "Have you spoken with your Austrian professor yet", and "Have you found your secret "Dungeons and Dragons lairr, thats has Nerds secretly studing and playing with characters at level 40" etc.

talk atch you later (sp)
[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 05:17, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

i forget to ask you so so, something serious: How do you make those things on wiki that link to other websiter, like insted of having this website in full writing: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nf1VMk0o4Iw, you shorten it into a small thing, how's it done?

ps: at this video on youtube, go to the time 09:26, this is where the joke is where homer is laughing.

==Text could not be found==

On the [[Strong Badman]] page I got an error that says that the text could not be found, and I should report it to an administrator. Do you think it has anything to do with the recent maintnance? - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 00:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== MediaWiki Question ==

== Permanent Edit Removal ==
I remember how the last time the Fanstuff got attacked by a troll who placed highly unappropriate images on pages, you permanently deleted those versions of the pages from the database. You may want to do that again with edits by the troll [[HRFWiki:Special:Contributions/NKSCF|NKSCF]]. Most of the pages he put images on were deleted (not sure if you still want to delete them from the database), but there's one on Y2K's [[HRFWiki:User:Y2K|userpage]] that still remains. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 08:52, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
:You could just delete the page, and then restore all the edits except that one... it would still be in [[Special:Undelete]], but you don't need admin powers to do it. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

== Update Icons ==

It's dot com, I noticed a bit of some messy whitespace on the edges of two of the Main Page update icons ([[Image:update-cs.png]] and [[Image:update-ps.png]]). They look fine when they're situated at the top of the Main Page, where the gradient is lighter, but as you add more saturation to the background, the white edges really start to come through. Take a look toward the bottom of the [[Main Page]] to see what I mean. Anyways, I went ahead and tried to clean them up for you a bit, but unfortunately I was unable to upload new versions, since they're both set as protected pages. (As an aside: why are they set as protected pages in the first place?) The versions I made might look rougher on a purely white backdrop, but I think they blend pretty nicely on the gradient background on the main page, comparatively speaking. So here they are, use them if you like:

--{{User:Soapergem/sig}} 00:12, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
:The problem with the images you made is that they use an 8-bit transparency, which is currently not recognized by Internet Explorer. Enough of our readership still uses IE that we have to go with the older 1-bit transparency. Thanks for trying, though! The images are protected because they are on the main page, and otherwise it would very easy for someone to upload something very objectionable in their place. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

== Userboxes and Homsar Quotes ==

Hi there its dot com!! Loafing redirected my problem to you. I made a Homsar random quote userbox (see my User Page - first on the userbox list) and was trying to add it to the Userbox page for the benefit of the Wiki. So everyone could see it and enjoy the bounty of it's... well whatever it is the same as I do. So I go to the Userbox page and try to add it in. Problem. It won't add into the <userboxsample> tag because of the homsarquote template. Of course, it works OUTSIDE of the tag, so it works on my page and everywhere else. I just can't make it display in the table on that page. Any way that can be fixed? Thanks a ton. --{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 08:43, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:Yes. The braces around the homsarquote template have to be escaped inside the userboxsamples tags. View [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Userbox&diff=377189&oldid=376519 this edit] to see the method and the result. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::: Hey thanks. I thought the random homsar box would be a good idea. Heh, I like the change to "Words of wisdom" better than just Homsar Quote. Good call. lol.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 00:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

When you hurt a friend enough times, it can happen that they will no longer be your friend, despite any of your attempts to make up for it. I think if a person violates a wiki's way of doing business often enough and persistently enough, it's not unfair to say "Sorry, you aren't welcome here" at some point.

==Sorry==
Note to self: "Keep your mouth closed more often Ilko." Sorry that I seem to be defeating myself (and the process to some extent) in the logo discussion. I keep telling myself to just sit back and be quiet and not keep reacting to things, but so far have been far too reactionary. Just wanted to appologize for being too. . .well too whatever you want to call it. - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 00:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

== Move Page Modification ==
I was thinking that it would be convenient to have an option for sysops (and other people with the 'delete' permission) to have a checkbox when moving a page that would delete the redirect automatically without having to do it manually. So, I went and made some code changes to SpecialMovepage.php, and I have what I think is a working implementation of my idea.

All the technicalities out of the way, I'm asking if you could put this onto the Fanstuff. It would be of great convenience when reverting the page move trolls which are all too frequent now-a-days, and when fixing things such as Text Adventures subpages, which are a large problem. The code for 1.8.2 is [http://simpedia.5gigs.com/files/SpecialMovepage.txt here], and the system messages required are [http://simpedia.5gigs.com/files/RedirectDeletionMessages.xml here].

Could you please think about this and let me know? Thanks a plenty, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 16:04, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

:I believe there already is that function. I've done it a couple times this week. You have to press the move page button, and then another page will come up with the Delete & Move option. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:08, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

::That's a similar function - it deletes the page you're moving to, rather than the redirect it leaves. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 01:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

== A History - logo ==

Hey It's dot com, for {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:A_History&diff=next&oldid=395453 this edit}}, was this discussed on the wiki on IRC? Either way, I think it would be good nugget of history if we knew when the discussions began in their most primative forms. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey. I noticed that the user account [[Special:Contributions/Rico crazy?|Rico crazy?]] was created on 12/20/06 and [[Special:Contributions/Rico*crazy?|Rico*crazy?]] was creadted on 12/21/06. Is this the same person? If so, where do we state that people can only have one account? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
:On the one hand, duplicate accounts like that are not allowed, but on the other hand, we usually don't mess with trying to fix it unless there's some good reason. It seems to me (without actually looking anything up) that accounts like those don't tend to have many contribs, so it's not worth bothering over. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

== Transclusion templates ==

Hi Dot com,

The reason I had 4 different templates was in order to have a separate category for each language, thus making it easier for speakers of specific languages to know which pages need to be verified in their language as well. A generic template wouldn't do that. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:14, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

== Sorry ==

I'm sorry Dot Com! I'll wait for a concensus. I was just doing what Qermaq suggested. Also, I thought I did address your points on the talk page, but I guess I didn't do a very good job of it. Okay, no more literary present edits! (Sorry again!) {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 17:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
:There's really no need to apologize (especially not three times). As I write this, I have the last post in that thread, so I'm not sure where you addressed my points. The addition you made to the project page is not the way we currently write, and therefore we need to get a lot more input (and perhaps hash out the wording) on the talk page before any changes are made to the project page. (On the other hand, if all you want to do is enunciate what we already do, then that can be easily added—but we need to figure out what that is.)

==An Epic Apology==
*Dear It's dot com, in regards to my stupidity in creating a sockpuppet, I would like to say a few things for myself:
*Even though I lost a bet (an NFL Playoff bet), I still could've chosen not to be dishonest and jeopardized the Wiki. Sockpuppetry is a very treason-esque thing to do to a community, and I am truly sorry and embarrassed that I partook in such a sort of action. My reputation and my judgment from others is now set back to 0, and I must start over. I never should of started a fake account.
*Well, on the other hand, during my block, it was literally ''killing'' me, seeing all of the unwelcomed visitors, flash artifacts to be reverted, and the act of helping confused users... it all made me go crazy.
*I, also, starting now, will not edit namespace unless needed. I noticed on my contribs that is is getting monotonous that I am adding to my "edits" every twenty minutes or so. I'm just gonna leave it all alone. Who cares how much edits I have? Anyway, yes, I am going to edit articles for the majority from now on.
*I gravely hope you accept this apology, and I am now looking forward to a problem-free era here.

Sincerely,

{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

P.S. Did you receive my email?

:I'm not Dot Com, but I certainly forgive you for giving in to a stupid bet. Everybody makes mistakes and you don't have to kill yourself about just one, so you learned a valuable lesson from this experience and that is that sockpuppets are a very bad thing. I'd still like to see you around the wiki as much as I have before this ordeal and I hope you'll do just that. Regards, -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 18:51, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, yes. I plan to have a future here. I'll still be around often, but I'm not going to edit userspace often. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 19:03, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

== Notice on [[Subtitles:sbemail/en]] ==

Your notice, though it would be useful, made the subtitles not work. I moved it to the talk page. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 15:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

::The subtitles viewers strip templates and <nowiki><pre></nowiki> tags from subtitles scripts. Everything else remains, and if something is left outside the <nowiki><xml></nowiki> element, the viewers won't be able to parse the script. It works now.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
:::A comment can go anywhere after the <code><?xml ?></code> line – it can be outside the <code><transcript></code> tags without any problems, but it is important that the <code><?xml ?></code> line is the first thing on the page after <code><pre></code> tags and templates are removed, or the parser will fail. Incidentally, the box at the top doesn't ''have'' to be a separate template in order to be stripped out... <code><nowiki><noinclude></noinclude></nowiki></code> also works. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 00:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

== Trendy Totebag's Nintendo Thing ==

Does that count as a guestbook? Sorry for signing it; I really didn't know. Also, you probably should've asked him before you deleted a whole section on his userpage. Even though it probably needs to go, he needs to delete it himself. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 03:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, it counts as a corollary to a guestbook. Just so you know, I did exactly what I should have done. According to our [[HRWiki:User space#Ownership and editing of pages in the user space|user space policy]], users, especially administrators, can edit another's user page "to bring it in line with policy," which is what I was doing. It is true that in most cases, a talk page note is preferred; however, the user in question is no longer active, and the mere fact that you signed the list showed that it needed to be removed. Talk atcha later. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

:Dear Sam. When someone nominates an article for deletion, and the article describes something very small within the entire Homestar Runner body of work, then we have a discussion about whether to keep it. You, as the creator of the article, should not remove the TBD notice until some time has passed and several people have had a chance to weigh in. The fact that one other user agrees with you does not mean that there is a consensus for the article to stay.

== replacement ==

Hey It's dot com. I was wondering, why did you [[User:It's dot com/replacement|make a subpage]] that is almost identicle to [[replacement]]? And is there any specific reason you chose that email? I'm not telling you to delete it though. I'm just curious. And by the way, I hope what I [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&oldid=466482 put in the Sandbox] the other day didn't affend you or anything. I just wanted to make up funny ideas for reasons someone would block someone else, and you're like the most important sysop here to me. Eat a Steak! {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 19:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
:That page is for testing a proposed infobox format, one that didn't quite catch on. Feel free to read its [[User talk:It's dot com/replacement|talk page]] for more information. I'm not sure why I picked [[replacement]] (maybe because the infobox would replace the current format? That's kind of a lame guess, but it's the best I've got). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:18, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

== a comment to it's dot com ==

hey it's dot com, you are awesome. that is all i have to say. [[User:74.245.20.195|74.245.20.195]] 04:03, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks, anonny! Every time that I look at myself, I can't believe how awesome I am. I mean, how awesome I ''aaaaaaaaaaaam...'' Out of curiosity, what prompted you to say so? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

:::Now I'm curious, too! Good old Dot com really keeps the inner workings of the wiki going. But most of his awesomeness would not be visible to a "[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=445985 random IP editor]" as you once called yourself ;-) How did you notice? And have you thought about [[HRWiki:Why create an account?|creating an account]]?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:51, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

== Order! ==

I've been making a lot of revisions to the [[alternate universe]] article lately (as you've probably noticed, seein' as how you're a recent changes junkie, according to your user page), and I've noticed that the Fun Facts aren't in any apparent order. Maybe my subconscious just made this up to confuse me, but don't they go in order according to the portion of the email they refer to, from first to last? Also, I was wondering about the validity of the "Senor Cardgage's legs" goof (in the same email). I can clearly see his right leg past Keyboard Strong Bad, and I'm pretty sure the only reason his left leg isn't visible is because it's obscured by his glove. Perhaps it's a fixed goof...? {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 03:54, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
:In general, yes, fun facts are supposed to be presented in the order the things they refer to appear in the toon. This is just a guideline, though, so as long as it's kinda close, it doesn't have to be exact. In other words, it's not worth fixing unless it greatly improves the readability of the section. As for your specific comments regarding Senor, I'm not familiar with that. Perhaps try bringing it up on the talk page of the toon. Cheers! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

== Randomizer ==

This conversation is copied from the IRC channel and edited to remove lines irrelevant to the point i'm bringing up:
<blockquote>
[2007-07-30 02:31:56] <DeFender1031> hmm.. hrwiki's page randomizer seems to be biased... 
[2007-07-30 02:32:15] <Bluebry> DeFender: a conservative or liberal bias? 
[2007-07-30 02:33:41] <DeFender1031> Bluebry, in other words, there are a lot of pages that i've gotten 10 times and there are a lot i've never gotten 
[2007-07-30 02:34:32] <Phlip> DeFender1031: You'd expect there to be a lot of pages you get 10 times, and some you've never gotten... if you get all of them the exactly same number of times, that would be an anomaly 
[2007-07-30 02:35:32] <DeFender1031> Phlip, but it should be close to the statistical mean, shouldn't it? 
[2007-07-30 02:37:26] <Phlip> hmm... it looks like the randomiser can be biased... 
[2007-07-30 02:37:37] <Phlip> to make it run fast 
[2007-07-30 02:38:38] <Phlip> each page has a random number assigned to it in the DB, which is changed every time the page is edited 
[2007-07-30 02:38:56] <Phlip> Special:Random picks a random number, and picks the page that has the closest number assigned to it 
[2007-07-30 02:39:33] <Phlip> so if the random numbers in the table aren't uniform, which they won't be, then the pages that're in the clumps will be chosen less often. 
[2007-07-30 02:40:26] <DeFender1031> well that's just stupid 
[2007-07-30 02:40:38] <Phlip> but it's much faster than any other method 
[2007-07-30 02:40:58] <DeFender1031> each one should have a number from when it's created, from 1 - 17XX and then the randomizer should pick like that 
[2007-07-30 02:41:12] <Phlip> when your site gets as many hits as WP, probably including a lot of bored users pounding the SP:R button, every speed increase helps 
[2007-07-30 02:41:27] <Phlip> DeFender1031: how would you handle page deletions? 
[2007-07-30 02:42:29] <DeFender1031> Phlip, very simple. when a page is deleted the last numbered page takes on that number instead, and the randomizer max goes down by 1 
[2007-07-30 02:45:15] <DeFender1031> Phlip, here's the thing. all pages get numbered. 1-1769 right? and the randomizer max gets set to 1769. then let's say #537 gets deleted, 1769 becomes 537, and the randmax becomes 1768 
[2007-07-30 02:45:28] <Phlip> hmm... that'd work 
[2007-07-30 02:46:14] <DeFender1031> Phlip, yeah it'd work, i've used that method many times in my own programs and it's the fastest method i've seen/tested. 
[2007-07-30 02:46:23] <Phlip> there'll be some extra SELECT MAX()s in various places... but I don't think they'd slow it down too much 
[2007-07-30 02:46:47] <DeFender1031> Phlip, so why this random value ridiculousness? 
</blockquote>
So now I ask you, why this random value ridiculousness? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
:MediaWiki is a wonderful tool, but there are some screwy things about it, and it's not always geared toward smaller wikis. Feel free, however, to bring it up with the main MW developers and see if they'll change it. As for our wiki, the expense of hacking it from the default and maintaining it each time we upgrade outweighs the marginal benefit of doing so. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
::Garr! Every time i suggest a useful improvement you shoot me down. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
:::That's an unfair generalization. In this case, however, it's just too trivial an issue to worry with changing it on our wiki only. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:10, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
:Here's my input. "Dice have no memory." Each roll of the dice is random; therefore, each outcome could be whatever. You could roll twenty 6's in a row. It's improbable, but it's certainly very possible. The question is, then, if changing the way the randomizer works would effect a real change? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
::It's not quite that simple. The way the pages are chosen makes it more likely that—at any one time—certain pages will be favored over others. Suppose we have six pages. Instead of being numbered 1 to 6, each time a page is edited it is assigned a random value between 0 and 1, which are not guaranteed to be uniformly distributed (let's say ours are .01, .40, .67, .68, .69, and .92). Each time a random page is loaded, it selects the lowest value higher than another random value. If it chose .25 as the value, the .40 page would be returned. Under this system, .40 is 39 times more likely than .01 to be returned, and .67 is 27 times more likely than either .68 or .69. On a very large wiki, like Wikipedia, you probably wouldn't notice this. On a smaller wiki, apparently it is noticeable. It's not a perfect system, but it gets the job done well enough not to worry over. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:10, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
:::It's not "well enough". I sometimes do editing by clicking on random and reading the page to see what i can improve. It is annoying when the same page that i just read comes up 15 times without 75% of the other pages on the wiki coming up once. My system is just as fast and is even more efficient. And for the frequency that the wiki upgrades, i don't think it's that big of a deal. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
::::No, it does work well enough. I clicked on the random page button repeatedly, and it wasn't until the 49th click that I got a page that I'd seen before. Maybe the glitch happens enough to annoy someone looking for something to edit, but it's fine for someone looking for something to read, which is what the link was designed for. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::I had the chance to discuss this in depth with Phlip and Dot com, and what I learned is that the only way to make the results more balanced than they are now entails a lot more wear and tear on the server. Unfortunately, the way MW is set up this is the best they can do. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::We didn't say it was the best we could do. There are ways to make the distribution even that wouldn't adversely affect the server, but doing so would require rewriting the code and maintaining it later. At this time, there's just no need to do something like that, because the function is already doing the basic job it was designed to do. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

== Autopipe/Autodirect ==

Hey, I was wondering if you'd mind sharing the Autopipe / Autodirect extension you wrote. I just started a MediaWiki wiki of my own, and I'd really like to be able to have page titles starting with lower-case letters without causing a bunch of broken links due to capitalization--the Autopipe / Autodirect extension would be perfect. FWIW, I'll mention on the wiki where I got the extension from...

(If you've seen the post on the forums about this...yeah, that was me; that was before I checked the Talk page of the Autopipe/Autodirect page (can't believe I hadn't thought to check that before) and saw that you wrote the extension, so I figured asking about it on your talk page might be more appropriate...) [[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 20:16, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:Well, it's not an extension so much as a direct hack to quite a few of the core pages. Given that it's all about to change when we upgrade in a few weeks, I'm not sure I'm comfortable releasing it into the wild at this point. I'll let you know if there are any developments, though. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:01, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

::Hm, OK, I can't say I'm not a little disappointed, but I understand. If it ever does get to a point where you're comfortable releasing it, please let me know. Thanks. [[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 21:26, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

==Clarification on Pseudocharacters==

My understanding was that [[pseudocharacters]] were ''never'' added to the cast lists, yet you readded [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]] to [[montage]] with a note saying that when they act as a character they are in the cast list. I looked all over the Wiki for something to back this up, and the best I could find was [[HRWiki:Da_Basement/Archive_2#Problems]] to cover this issue. Is there a hard fast rule about this situation, or is it a judgement call by the sysops for each toon? Does this need to be documented somewhere? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:13, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
:To quote myself from [[Category talk:Pseudocharacters]], I guess it depends on whether each one is more ''pseudo'' or more ''character''. If a pseudocharacter behaves like a character (as, say, [[The Paper]] in [[the paper]]), then it should be listed in the cast just like any other character. Whenever it's just an object (as in almost all the other emails), it should not be in the cast. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

== Missy's B-day Card cont'd ([[User talk:Invisible Robot Fish#Missy's Card?|from here]]) ==

Hey Dot Com,

{{User:Invisible Robot Fish/sig}} suggested that I talk to a sysop if I want to get together a Birthday card for Missy. Since sysops only have access to TBC's mailing address, I figured I'd talk to you if I wanted to get involved. I just feel like I'm dead weight on the site right now, and really want to do something. {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}} 23:05, 22 October 2007
:Before I talk about this idea specifically, let me suggest that if you're looking for something to do there are a lot of projects (see [[HRWiki:The Stick]]) that are more practical than this. As for a card for Missy (do we even know her birthday?), anything being sent on behalf of the wiki would have to go through an administrator (Joey, Tom, or me), not just a sysop. In other words, someone would have to send it to one of us and we'd then forward it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

== [[Seriously]] ==

Your most recent edit on [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Seriously&diff=521418&oldid=520869 Seriously] reverted a lot more than just what your edit summary explained. Either you were editing a past version of the page and didn't notice all these changes, or you had a reason for removing all that other info and just didn't put it in your edit summary. In case the second case is true, I didn't do a (partial) revert. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:21, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
:Hmm, I guess I edited the wrong version in the history. It should be correct now. Thanks for pointing that out. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:36, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

== Forte font ==

I realize you had a certain motivation to revert [[:Image:Forte.png]] to how it was.. however, it is only used once in that way and it was even modified from how it was actually used by TBC. And it shows less unique letters than the more common use as it appears on [[name tags]]. Having given no reason for the revert, my immediate assumption is that you did it for selfish reasons. Here is my plea for you to listen to reason and allow the improvement. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, I have a vested interest in one version over another, whereas I doubt you do. Since the font shown ''is'' Forte, then there's no real reason to change it from the image that it's been for nearly two years now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:23, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
::What does one do when there's an error for two years? Surely that's not a cogent reply. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:52, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

== El Toolbaro ==

I have a question that involves my wiki and not HRWiki. See, I'm an admin on my wiki, [http://simpedia.scribblewiki.com/Main_Page The Simpedia]. I'm wondering, how do you change the toolbar? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
:I'm not sure whether you mean the toolbar in the edit window or the toolbox on the left side of every page. Either way, I don't know how to modify them off the top of my head and would have to research it to give you a good answer. I know that there are both JavaScript and PHP solutions to the problem; you might try searching [[mw:|MediaWiki's site]] or posting in a more public forum. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

== About "japanese cartoon"... ==

*Hi, Jay. I wanted to make a comment about the NES endings easter egg, particularly the Metroid ending, and it didn't seem appropriate to bring it up in the cartoon discussion (plus it wouldn't make sense to anyone besides us). Since you don't have a listed e-mail, I'll bring it up here. The screen that it shows, "You Fulfiled Your Mission", et. al., either features a Samus Aran in her normal suit or, if you enter a certain code (the famed JUSTIN BAILEY ------ ------ code, for example), a suitless Samus, as it shows in this instance. VGMuseum shows both variants as an animated gif. Both variants do not show in the same ending, you either get the normal variant or the suitless variant if you put in a suitable code. It is the following screen which is then based upon time, and that screen does not feature any sort of text. When the game is completed under 3 hours, that screen also shows Samus in a red suit...whereas if Samus is suitless, she will always be seen in a green suit on the first screen. Anyway, I just felt like mentioning it. By the time you read this, I will probably have edited the page again and I wanted to explain the reasoning behind it instead of it potentially resulting in a siutation where we are constantly changing each others' edits. Otherwise...keep up the good work with editing the wiki and I'll do likewise. -- [[User:Frickinsellout|Frickinsellout]] 16:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

P.S. You are free to make this entry [[DELETED]] shortly after you read this, since it may not be the sort of thing necessarily to have in your archives. :)

==CGNU fight song==

:I don't think that's necessary. I was trying to illustrate a point; a point I feel has been made and I'd just as soon delete what I already have if there are no objections.

== Spelling of "Gip" ==

Hi,

Please see http://www.answers.com/topic/gyp (and to be fair also see http://www.answers.com/topic/gip)

Will you allow my edit of [[theme song]] to stick now?

Thanks [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

: I see your comment in the themesong page. Why don't you note that what SB typed is a mis-spelling? Other transcripts do that. "Gyp" is a slur, related to Gypsies' reputation as thieves. That's why "gyp" is the correct spelling. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:::Sure. But the second [http://www.answers.com/topic/gip] doesn't say anything about it (this meaning). "Gip" is obviously not considered a canonical spelling of this particular term by the American Heritage Dictionary, but variant instead. Why don't we add it to the transcript with the note about SB's variant spelling? [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:::: That first link you gave is GIP in all caps. Did you see this article [http://www.answers.com/topic/gip-1]? Variants are not misspellings, and are not really important to note. [[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 01:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::: It is also questionable that "gyp" really is a slur (see the [[Wiktionary:Gyp|Wiktionary]], though as we discovered earlier today, "gip" is actually not present there for some reason.) We had this discussion earlier today. At any rate, '''Strong Bad actually types the word "gipped"''', and according to our [[HRWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]], what Strong Bad types is what we type, whether misspelled, nonsensical, or contrary to what he actually says (though in that last case, we also note what he actually says.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:# If you say "Homsar is the only main character without an Old-Timey counterpart", without mentioning 20X6, then the statement is true.
:# If you say "Homsar is the only main character without a 20X6 counterpart", without mentioning Old-Timey, then the statement is false (Bubs, Strong Mad, Strong Sad, The King of Town, and The Poopsmith also have no 20X6 counterparts, and the counterparts of Marzipan and The Cheat have yet to actually ''do'' anything.

Even though, as you noticed, Ninja Gaiden isn't the right game this time, I discovered the reference in Under Construction about a day after I [http://www.hrwiki.org/images/archive/3/3d/20061107082502%21NES_Ending.jpg used it] for a challenge. Although I was kicking myself for not making the trivia question ask about that toon, I was consoled by the fact that it's ten times more fun to watch Under Construction after having seen the Ninja Gaiden intro.

== Apologies??? ==

As a reply to [[Subtitles talk:sbemail167/en]], there was only one easter egg to subtitle. And besides, I'd still be in check, what with being the subtitle creator for three consecutive SBEmails (I don't want to brag any more nor do I want to in the first place) before giving it off to [[User:Shwoo|Shwoo]] because she wanted to do a sub script. And anyway, my computer gets sluggish as well. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 23:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

== In Regards to SB's mouth in Record Book ==

Even in the old animations, whenever SB makes an o sound, including the ou sound, his mouth turns round. It did when he said round, which has the same vowel sound as mouth. Yet when he said mouth in the email, his mouth did not turn round as it was supposed to. This is especially noteworthy as he was contesting his mouth being rectangular all the time when the goof was made.
: It's not consistent enough to call it a "Goof" though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not clear as to what just went on/is going on between Has Matt? and Bluebry_muffn , but I know this: The wiki froze on me temporarily. The rest of the internet worked fine, but the wiki was suddenly loaded down. The only thing going on was these two and their argument about... what exactly? I'd say something to them, but I'm afraid of overstepping my lack of authority. So, I decided to bring it to the attention of the sysop with the most recent edit, thereby indicating your current presence. If I'm overreacting, let me know and I'll shut up. - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 03:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

It wasn't just "for a personal reason;" it was specifically for surgery. Are there actually other widely-known cases of talk show hosts who have done that exact thing? If there are, I will politely step down, but I wish you hadn't used sarcasm to explain your deletion; that's something I really don't like to see on this site.
: Surgery is almost universal in modern society. Am I to believe that Letterman is the only talk-show host ever that took an absence due to it? I'm aware of small-time radio talk show hosts getting temporary replacements for every reason under the sun; surely not as widely-known as Letterman, but who said it had to be a widely-known case?

HRWiki:Changing username

2008-04-07T05:14:17Z

School of Rock: /* School of Rock */

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, [[HRWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.
==Requesting a change==

To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request to the bottom of the section below. Use the following template: <code><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></code>
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

==Current requests==
<div style="background:#FFC;text-align:center;border:1px solid #CC9">'''Please use this template for new requests: <tt><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></tt>'''</div>

Could you change my name to "Moonea"? I know the name is created; it's my old account, and I never entered a password and was logged out. I also forgot my password to that account. Thank you in advance! 12:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

===Dramus===
Could you change all edits with the name 'Dramus' to 'TDSDramus'? I'm the same person, but I forgot my password for the Dramus account, and did not have an E-Mail address linked to the Dramus account. Thanks. [[User:TDSDramus|Lifing for love, drinking for free.]] 04:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

===Jordoex===
I'm not 100% sure if I made an account; anyways, it used lowercase first. Change from jordoex to Jordo_EX. Thanks!(Same thing as with wierdguy)

Wait a minute. Are you and the fanstuff user Cow Puncher the same person? If you are, then you should have said so. If you're not, then you need to stop referring to yourself using that name. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
:I am. {{User:Numa Numa/sig}}
::All right, I'll rename you, but I'm going to insist that your name here and on the fanstuff be the same ("Puncher" in both places, not "Puncha" in one). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:07, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

::Yes, you've established yourself rather heavily here under your current name, and as such I am rather disinclined to change it. Perhaps you could shed some light on why you would make this request. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Um, guys, everyone knew The Goblin as Techgeekmbg (as I still do) and yet you changed his name without this much investigation. Why are you picking on Sam? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 02:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
::::I don't like it that techie got changed... i think that this whole name change thing is dumb unless it's a minor spelling or capitalization fix, or a switch for a relatively new user... but for an established user like techie or sam, i wouldn't think it a good idea at all. (Ya hear that sam? i'm saying that you're well known round these parts) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:05, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
:::::I was going to say that Sam has also been here longer, but then I checked the logs, and Sam's only a month older, account wise, than Techgeek (March 7 to April 25, respectively). So now my argument's all shot to whatsit. I guess Sam just established himself earlier than Techgeek. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
::::::The biggest (but certainly not only) difference between the two cases is that Techgeek demonstrated a long time ago that he wanted a new name, and over time his feelings on the matter remained the same. Sam, on the other hand, seems to be making the request on a whim (or maybe not, but he hasn't given us much to go on here). I'm not completely against making the change for him, but I think it would be fair for him to give us a pretty good reason to even consider it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

::::Honestly, if you hadn't brought up the fact that you had ever been blocked, I wouldn't have remembered it. Nobody really dwells on that. (And, for what it's worth, it's not like changing your name erases those records.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::Strikeout Sam the Man, or whoever you are, I think you have made some pretty good points for changing your name (besides the bit about a "fresh start" which I don't really follow). You use another name elsewhere and its the name you prefer. And you've been sitting on it for three months, so if the change is made I don't really see you changing your mind and wishing you hadn't gone through with it. To anyone trying to dissuade him, I'd suggest that a rename is probably preferable to him registering for a new account and abandoning his history completely (which I hope it doesn't come to). Let the guy have his new name. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::Just to clarify, you guys are free to keep talking, but this thread actually ended four posts ago. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Here's a reason your argument on "Oh, I like this name better now than I did when I joined." I, admittedly, changed my username for that reason, but I 1) was not well known at the time. 2) used the name I changed to in my signatures ever since I got one. You have not expressed either of those. Furthermore, if I were to suddenly say "Oh, my new online alias is s0merand0mdude, change it to that please," I would get shot down in similar fashion. Just say that outside the wiki, you are known as StrikeoutSam. Problem solved. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 23:25, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

:Nah, you don't need to change your name. We've got several Homestars out there, the most notable being [[User:Homestar Coder|Homestar Coder]], and four syllables has a much nicer cadence than a mere two. Also, you've been here a while, and you have a lot of edits.

{{renameuser|Kevin G. Dannerson|The Knights Who Say Ni}}
I decided I liked my 92nd day of the leap year prank so much i wanted to change my name to it entirely. Just like a super bowl commercial turns into a regular commercial. Besides, Kevin G.

===Moonea===
Could you change my name to "Moonea"? I know the name is created; it's my old account, and I never entered a password and was logged out. I also forgot my password to that account. Thank you in advance! 12:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

===Dramus===
Could you change all edits with the name 'Dramus' to 'TDSDramus'? I'm the same person, but I forgot my password for the Dramus account, and did not have an E-Mail address linked to the Dramus account. Thanks. [[User:TDSDramus|Lifing for love, drinking for free.]] 04:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

===Cheetspeek===
Like weirdguy, mine was lowercase. Haven't been on in a while, thus meriting this name change. Thanks in advancements!
:There is no username "cheetspeek"... there is, however, a [[User:CheetSpeek]], with a capital S... is that you? If so, nothing needs to be done... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:25, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

===Jordoex===
I'm not 100% sure if I made an account; anyways, it used lowercase first. Change from jordoex to Jordo_EX. Thanks!(Same thing as with wierdguy)

Hi dot comster. I don't think it will happen, but can I have my name changed to Garchomp? I know I changed my name already and it's probably not going to happen but can you please? {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 01:36, 27 November 2007 (UTC) (R.I.P) Oh, and reply on my talk page because yours is long and my computer is SLOW and can you just change it for free so I don't have to pay 200 bucks?

Please? I don't like the username and don't really know the english lyrics pf that song. And Xx6xX needs his name changed on the fanstuff wiki, unless you got it. {{User:Numa Numa/sig}}
:I like your name.--{{User:Kanjiro/sig}} 03:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
::I'm not going to rename you something so close to Cow Puncher's (the former Xx6xX's) name. It would just cause confusion as to who's who. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:25, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Wait a minute. Are you and the fanstuff user Cow Puncher the same person? If you are, then you should have said so. If you're not, then you need to stop referring to yourself using that name. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
:I am. {{User:Numa Numa/sig}}
::All right, I'll rename you, but I'm going to insist that your name here and on the fanstuff be the same ("Puncher" in both places, not "Puncha" in one). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:07, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

{{renameuser|ClubPenguin923|Superfield Credit Union}}
Because I don't like Club Penguin anymore and I like the e-mail [[credit card]]. {{User:ClubPenguin923/sig}}
:The name in [[credit card]] is ''Superfied'' Credit Union (not Superfield). Please clarify. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:38, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
::I am well aware that it is Superfied, not Superfield. But this does not change the fact that I still want it to be ''Superfield''. It was ''not'' a spelling error. {{User:ClubPenguin923/sig}}

I want mine changed, as I like Homsar Walker better. --{{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 21:59, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
:Sorry, that username is too similar to [[User talk:HomsarWalker|HomsarWalker]], which was {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=newusers&user=HomsarWalker created just over a week ago}}. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:11, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
::But there's also Homsarrunner and Homsar runner. Honestly, I didn't even know there was a Homsarwalker before I came up with it. How about Homsar Sprinter? --{{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 03:07, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
I've wanted a new name for a while. I found one. The problem with most is mainly y icons, and everything, especially the TG thing in my sig. Nice thing about this is that that doesn't have to be changed. I want The Goblin! {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 16:57, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Unless there's a rule against all caps usernames, I think I'd like my user name to match what Strong Mad carves (DAGRON). Thanks! [[User:Dagron|Dagron]] 20:03, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
:Done. When I first saw the request, I was afraid you were changing your name to something else altogether. I'm glad to see you were just tweaking it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:55, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

===Sam the Man===
{{renameuser|Sam the Man|Strikeout Sam}}
Love baseball. I think this is a good name. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
:Why would you want to change your name? Everyone knows you as Sam the Man — it'll be confusing! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:41, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, you've established yourself rather heavily here under your current name, and as such I am rather disinclined to change it. Perhaps you could shed some light on why you would make this request. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Um, guys, everyone knew The Goblin as Techgeekmbg (as I still do) and yet you changed his name without this much investigation. Why are you picking on Sam? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 02:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
::::I don't like it that techie got changed... i think that this whole name change thing is dumb unless it's a minor spelling or capitalization fix, or a switch for a relatively new user... but for an established user like techie or sam, i wouldn't think it a good idea at all. (Ya hear that sam? i'm saying that you're well known round these parts) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:05, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
:::::I was going to say that Sam has also been here longer, but then I checked the logs, and Sam's only a month older, account wise, than Techgeek (March 7 to April 25, respectively). So now my argument's all shot to whatsit. I guess Sam just established himself earlier than Techgeek. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
::::::The biggest (but certainly not only) difference between the two cases is that Techgeek demonstrated a long time ago that he wanted a new name, and over time his feelings on the matter remained the same. Sam, on the other hand, seems to be making the request on a whim (or maybe not, but he hasn't given us much to go on here). I'm not completely against making the change for him, but I think it would be fair for him to give us a pretty good reason to even consider it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Here's some reasons:
*I love baseball, and my email is "strikeoutsam@——".
*I want to make a fresh new start ever since I got blocked.
*Meh, it's a good name.
:That's some reasons. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 22:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
::After further reflection, I'm not going to change your name. Sorry. You've established yourself under the name you have, and that's the name you need to keep. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:07, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:::But everyone knows me as Sam the Man, the guy who got blocked. I want to be Strikeout Sam, please!? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 22:08, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Honestly, if you hadn't brought up the fact that you had ever been blocked, I wouldn't have remembered it. Nobody really dwells on that. (And, for what it's worth, it's not like changing your name erases those records.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::Strikeout Sam the Man, or whoever you are, I think you have made some pretty good points for changing your name (besides the bit about a "fresh start" which I don't really follow). You use another name elsewhere and its the name you prefer. And you've been sitting on it for three months, so if the change is made I don't really see you changing your mind and wishing you hadn't gone through with it. To anyone trying to dissuade him, I'd suggest that a rename is probably preferable to him registering for a new account and abandoning his history completely (which I hope it doesn't come to). Let the guy have his new name. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::Just to clarify, you guys are free to keep talking, but this thread actually ended four posts ago. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Here's a reason your argument on "Oh, I like this name better now than I did when I joined." I, admittedly, changed my username for that reason, but I 1) was not well known at the time. 2) used the name I changed to in my signatures ever since I got one. You have not expressed either of those. Furthermore, if I were to suddenly say "Oh, my new online alias is s0merand0mdude, change it to that please," I would get shot down in similar fashion. Just say that outside the wiki, you are known as StrikeoutSam. Problem solved. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 23:25, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

===Homestar-winner===
<s>{{renameuser|Homestar-winner|Winner}}
Having "Homestar" in a username seems too uncreative, as this ''is'' the Homestar Runner Wiki. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 21:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)</s> 
Like, actually, I'll still think about it. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 21:37, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
:Nah, you don't need to change your name. We've got several Homestars out there, the most notable being [[User:Homestar Coder|Homestar Coder]], and four syllables has a much nicer cadence than a mere two. Also, you've been here a while, and you have a lot of edits. (I'm not saying we've never changed names of people who have a lot of edits, but I've come to realize it's something we should avoid unless there's a really compelling reason.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:05, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

{{renameuser|Lasor Lime|Laser Lime}}

My name is [[Wikipedia:Jack Black|Jack Black]] but you can change my name to Dewey Finn because you probably know me best as Dewey Finn from the movie ''[[Wikipedia:School of Rock|School of Rock]]''.
:I see you've just been blocked for spamming talk pages. I'm holding off on this one until you show you intend to be a productive contributor. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Alright, I will be an unproductive abuser. I mean productive user. Unproductive abuser. Productive user. Whatever. --[[User:School of Rock|Dewey Finn]] 14:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

===Has Matt?===
{{renameuser|Has Matt?|Lard Masher Machoquake}}
I never really liked my name; the question mark just seems to get in the way of things. I also kinda figured I needed an image overhaul. (I can't have the young users thinking I'm old!) I've already changed my signature, since I know this request will be accepted. But if anyone has suggestions for an even more kick-awesome username, let me know. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 10:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

===Kevin G. Dannerson===
{{renameuser|Kevin G. Dannerson|The Knights Who Say Ni}}
I decided I liked my 92nd day of the leap year prank so much i wanted to change my name to it entirely. Just like a super bowl commercial turns into a regular commercial. Besides, Kevin G. Dannerson is a pretty lame name. And this one actually has some meaning and not just words that were randomly thrown together in it. [[User:Kevin_G._Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 19:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

and did i forget to mention that i wanted a username that didn't have my brother's name in it? [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 19:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, [[HRWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.
==Requesting a change==

To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)''

::::I don't like it that techie got changed... i think that this whole name change thing is dumb unless it's a minor spelling or capitalization fix, or a switch for a relatively new user... but for an established user like techie or sam, i wouldn't think it a good idea at all. (Ya hear that sam? i'm saying that you're well known round these parts) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:05, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
:::::I was going to say that Sam has also been here longer, but then I checked the logs, and Sam's only a month older, account wise, than Techgeek (March 7 to April 25, respectively). So now my argument's all shot to whatsit. I guess Sam just established himself earlier than Techgeek. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
::::::The biggest (but certainly not only) difference between the two cases is that Techgeek demonstrated a long time ago that he wanted a new name, and over time his feelings on the matter remained the same. Sam, on the other hand, seems to be making the request on a whim (or maybe not, but he hasn't given us much to go on here). I'm not completely against making the change for him, but I think it would be fair for him to give us a pretty good reason to even consider it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

::::Honestly, if you hadn't brought up the fact that you had ever been blocked, I wouldn't have remembered it. Nobody really dwells on that. (And, for what it's worth, it's not like changing your name erases those records.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::Strikeout Sam the Man, or whoever you are, I think you have made some pretty good points for changing your name (besides the bit about a "fresh start" which I don't really follow). You use another name elsewhere and its the name you prefer. And you've been sitting on it for three months, so if the change is made I don't really see you changing your mind and wishing you hadn't gone through with it. To anyone trying to dissuade him, I'd suggest that a rename is probably preferable to him registering for a new account and abandoning his history completely (which I hope it doesn't come to). Let the guy have his new name. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

:::::::Here's a reason your argument on "Oh, I like this name better now than I did when I joined." I, admittedly, changed my username for that reason, but I 1) was not well known at the time. 2) used the name I changed to in my signatures ever since I got one. You have not expressed either of those. Furthermore, if I were to suddenly say "Oh, my new online alias is s0merand0mdude, change it to that please," I would get shot down in similar fashion.

Don't leave! [[User:Mr. 567|Mr. 567]] 20:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Sam, I don't know why you are leaving but you shouldn't go. If you could not help, just keep trying. If you did something bad, it's ok. We don't want you to leave. You welcomed me to the wiki. If you want to leave it's ok. We'll miss you.--[[User:Onestop|ONESTOP]] 20:20, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

:Sam, I'm sorry to hear that you've chosen to leave. I think you've done a lot of good work on our articles during the time you spent here. I understand that you've chosen to leave because of a recent conflict regarding a post on a new user's talk page. Please don't feel bad about that; I think you have a lot of potential, and I've seen quite a bit of improvement in the quality of your talk page posts during your time on the wiki.

:I understand your decision to leave, and if you're feeling strained by things in real life (your parents, etc.), as you mentioned, then taking a break might be a good thing. I just want to let you know that you're welcome to return at any time, and I'm free to discuss anything you want about the reason you left.

Hey Sam. I noticed you left three pages marked for deletion when you decided to take a break. Did you really mean for those to be deleted, or did you just forget to untag them? If you'd still like them deleted, just say so here, otherwise just untag them. Thanks! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Concerning Justin ==

Hi, Sam, there are still some things we need to work on when dealing with newer users. [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Justin_Master_of_Nature&diff=prev&oldid=529566 Here] you are improving in writing your messages, but you still need to polish it up. For example, "you making way to many subpages" has two problems: first, it needs to be "you ''are'' making way ''too'' many". (There are also other parts that need proofreading that I won't discuss.) Second, the problem isn't really that he's making too many subpages; it's that the subpages do not comply with our policy. It would have been best to link to our policy, [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|like this]].

Also, when Justin became disruptive (and yes, he was disruptive, you are right about that), you began to use some alarmed-sounding language, like the edit summaries [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Justin_Master_of_Nature&curid=39847&diff=529589&oldid=529586&rcid=486423 here] and [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Trey56&curid=9706&diff=529587&oldid=529582&rcid=486421 here]. This is a bad idea because it tends to make the situation worse: it does the opposite of calming the person down. It also was a bad idea to edit war with OptimisticFool over his userpage. If you disagree with someone else about what's acceptable on a userpage, ask a sysop to intervene.

I say this not to be overly critical, but because we do still need to present a professional, tactful and calm voice to our new users, even if they're disruptive. Therefore, please read the messages you write to users carefully and make sure they're clear and grammatically correct. And if they become disruptive, be calm in return (if you have a hard time with this, consider just waiting it out until someone else deals with the situation). Keep these in mind, and you should be on the road to doing better. Deal? Deal. OK, keep on tranglin'! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:01, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
:Also very important: if you suspect that a user is a sock, please do not ever post that suspicion on the user's talk page. If turns out that you're wrong and it's just a new user, one of the first things that new user will see is that accusation. Instead, ask a sysop to deal with it. My talk page is always open for this. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:49, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm kind of curious how you're going to back up the "last warning" you gave Justin. Last I checked you don't have access to the block feature. In other words, leave messages if you have to, but leave "last" warnings to the sysops. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:09, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

== Reply to your deleted comments ==
I'm sorry, Sam, we know you are trying to helpful. But unfortunately, you aren't succeeding. You say you're not trying to start fights, and I believe you. Nonetheless, fights do start when you talk to new users often enough that we have no choice but to restrict you on this. We've tried to give you advice several times, but it doesn't seem to be sinking in.

I know you are trying to be helpful, and I would encourage you to be helpful in some other way, as It's dot com has said above. You could also take advantage of his offer of help on IRC (I can probably help out with this, too, if you'd like.)

We don't want to discourage you from contributing, but we can't have the disruption that results from your interaction with new users any longer, even if it's not intentional. I'm sorry. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:45, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

:Sam, I really don't understand what you are doing, recently. You have been asked several times not to do [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Justin_Master_of_Nature&diff=532854&oldid=532832 this] anymore. Can it really be so hard to stay away from edits of this kind and simply contribute to the wiki? Also, that edit summary was way out of order after what It's dot com and Heimstern asked you. As Heimstern said, this behaviour is disruptive to the wiki, and you're not helping anybody. Please stop it right now. In addition to this, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Sam_the_Man&diff=532851&oldid=532850 threatening to vandalize] is not acceptable, and you know it. Maybe it really is a good idea for you to take a break and cool down a little. When you come back, please have another read of our comments on your talk page, and check out your old edits. Maybe with a clear head, you'll see what went wrong. See you then,{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:15, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

== Welcome Back ==
Yo, welcome back to the wiki. [[user:The-homsarrunner|The-homsarrunner]] 6:34 Jan,13,2008

== Test notices ==

Just for the future, there is a template you can use when giving someone a test notice, [[Template:Test]]. This will make it a bit easer since you won't have to type that stuff up all by yourself. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 23:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
:Here's the link to the wiki's carefully worded template: {{tl|test}}. It has simple instructions for use (don't forget to use '''<code>subst:</code>''') and I've used it myself several times. Enjoy! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
::I know. I was in a rush to my school bus and I had to make one really quickly. But, I knew that template existed. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 00:41, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
:::OK. Now that I think about it, I probably have seen you use it before. Over and out, {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 00:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
::::Well for important notices like these it's always good to err on the side of caution. See ya later. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::If you're in a rush, then don't put up notices on users' talk pages. Simple as that. What's the harm in letting another user do that? It's certainly better than leaving messages that are not up to standard - especially when you ''know'' that you're not doing it properly. You have been asked before not to police other users for a while, and my advice for you is to always make sure you're doing it absolutely correct when you're about to post something on a talk page. If you're unsure whether you follow our policies and guidelines, '''don't post'''. If you know you're not doing it properly, '''don't post'''. There's always next time. And it's a wiki, so don't stress, someone else will do the job if you don't.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:55, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

== Policing ==

Sam, please remember that you aren't supposed to be policing the wiki. Something like [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Dicai&diff=next&oldid=540000 this] counts as policing. If you see something like this that needs attention, let a sysop know rather than handling it yourself. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

== Peace Treaty thing ==

Did I hear something about a treaty thing between you and Ducky? When did that happen? - {{User:Znex/sig}} 23:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

==Hi==
Hi can you become a Delete Head go to my page.{{User:Coach B/sig}}01:38, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

== Talk Page Posts ==

See [[HRWiki:Talk page etiquette#General]] - while it's not best practice, one is well in their rights to remove posts from their talk page. The only possible exception to this would be an official message on behalf of admins, and even there it's a grey area. Reverting that with impunity would just result in a quickening of the eventual consequence (likely a ban) anyway. As much as I agree with your post and the sentiment behind it, and as much as I agree that he should let it stand, he's entitled to not have it there if he chooses. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
:Sam, you're once again policing the wiki by trying to make Coach B keep that message on his page. And once again, your policing proved disruptive. Please stop. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:54, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

== sorry, and thank you ==

i realized there was probably not enough of them to have a page, but i wanted to do SOMETHING for hrwiki.org. and for you to be able to find my paghe while i'm still working! amazing!!! so thank you for helping me realize that it wasn't a good idea and for being the first person on my talk page. yes, i'm that new. 12/24/07 as stated in my user page. but i'll keep trying to do something other than fix a gramatical error. i realize also that i probably won't be able to get to alot of pages/ideals before anyone else. to be honest, i thought there already was a page on the stuffed animals. i've seen your name all over the wiki, and i told you, i haven't been a member for long, but i've known about the site for about a year.

thanks, and again sorry about the page,
Homsarstrongbad150

i got your reply, and i need to know, how to set up the signature

Thanks.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Europa-pean_Lobster

and we can't have one for stuffed animals?

[[User:Homsarstrongbad150|Homsarstrongbad150]] 00:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

== Pokemon ==
Hey, I noticed on your talk page that you said Pokemon sucks. Do you mean the anime or everything about it? Because I've been a Pokemon fan forever, and I just wanted to check. If you're talking about the newer TV episodes, I'd have to agree with you...

== Careless reverting ==

Sam the Man: {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Idon%27twannabeinlove&diff=544389&oldid=544388 This}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Idon%27twannabeinlove&diff=544392&oldid=544389 is}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Idon%27twannabeinlove&diff=544393&oldid=544392 ridiculous}}. (I am also leaving the same message to SamFisher1022 and DeFender1031.) As established editors I believe you handled poorly the welcoming of this user. Instead of providing a more welcoming and inviting message, you have a quick edit war of sorts in someone else's user talk page. Imagine how a new user would feel seeing this kind of mysterious edit summary arguments going on. This sort of behavior could easily turn away prospective editors (good or not so much). I think in general we've established a bad habit of quick reverts with a simple edit summary and no explanation. Friendly but informative notices to less established users should be the norm, not the exception. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

== Edit summary again ==

Sam, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=dongelev&diff=544977&oldid=544975 this edit summary] is quite insensitive to a user who was clearly trying to help the wiki, albeit misguidedly. Please remember how it was when you were a new user and write the sort of edit summaries you would have wanted to see then. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

== Positive Interaction ==

Hey, Sam The Man. It's that guy Qermaq. I see from previous posts that some are critical of your interactions here. I can't disagree with them, sometimes you approach is gruff, but I can see your intent is good in faith. Allow me to be a resource to you.

On my user page, I have a [[User:Qermaq#How to become a sysop good user|section]] which gets into positive behavior and attitude here. I encourage you to give that a read. Also, take a look at [[HRW:BITE|this]], a concept I fail at still, time to time. And feel free to contact me via my user talk or elsewhere if you ever have a question. I know you intend to be a smart user at heart, and I extend my advice and experience to you. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:Thank you Qermaq. I try to be helpful, but I just can't find out. I know I'll never be a sysop here (I was blocked), so I try to act at least a little bit. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
::If you ever have a question about something, you can put it on my talk page. Either I or someone will respond when we can. And being a sysop isn't all it's cracked up to be, after all - all you get is a few extra buttons and doohickies, but they don't get any more real power here than you or I could attain. Power here comes from good editing, contribution, and being considerate and reasonable, not from being able to block or delete. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Power to the contributors! Anyways, thanks again. How needs to be a sysop anyway? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 22:12, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

:Thanks, Homestar Win-Er. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 00:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

== Overstepping your authority again ==

Hello Sam. We've been trying to give you a little more latitude with regard to interacting with users (even new users), but we must remind you that you are not the wiki's policeman, and it is not your place to edit another user's user page to remove a "users who suck" list, regardless of whether that list is inappropriate. If you have a problem with the content of someone's user page, you should put a note on their talk page or, better yet, discuss it with a sysop. Sysops are available almost all the time on IRC, and I remind you that several of us have specifically offered to assist you in deciding how to handle situations just like these. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
:It seems common practice here to only edit a userpage when there is, say, a coding error the user cannot repair, and even then it's best to get the user's consent on Talk before proceeding. User page editing for policy reasons is best left to those holding the keys, in order that any repercussions are in clear view of those who can block and delete pages as appropriate. If you, or I, take actions which might enrage a user, the resulting reaction might require a sysop's presence to quickly resolve, so it's best to have them on board and aware. User pages are the one thing a user has nearly entire control over, and I think that we all should respect that, even if the user puts up something inappropriate. Give them the chance to remediate on their own, and be sure a sysop is aware before any intrusive action is taken. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

== Refining the approach ==

Regading [http://hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Meme3&curid=38851&diff=547587&oldid=547575 this]: the intent was not bad, but the phrasing was. While we want talk contributors to use good communication skills, there's no policy stating that, and frankly we shouldn't say "you need to remember capitalizing the Letter "I"." That sounds like you're a grammarian telling others what to do.

An alternate approach is to tell them that you enjoy their posts, but would find it easier to read them if they'd be more careful with caps. What does this do that is different? It puts "fault" on yourself, not the other user. He's empowered to help you. Can you see how that helps the other guy not feel like he's being told what to do, and is instead feeling urged to do something that helps everyone?

Also, whenever you are letting a user know he "needs" to do something differently, it's a good idea to link to an example so it's clear what the issue was. Often just seeing an old edit again makes the gaffe clear enough. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Don't leave! [[User:Mr. 567|Mr. 567]] 20:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Sam, I don't know why you are leaving but you shouldn't go. If you could not help, just keep trying. If you did something bad, it's ok. We don't want you to leave. You welcomed me to the wiki. If you want to leave it's ok. We'll miss you.--[[User:Onestop|ONESTOP]] 20:20, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

:Sam, I'm sorry to hear that you've chosen to leave. I think you've done a lot of good work on our articles during the time you spent here. I understand that you've chosen to leave because of a recent conflict regarding a post on a new user's talk page. Please don't feel bad about that; I think you have a lot of potential, and I've seen quite a bit of improvement in the quality of your talk page posts during your time on the wiki.

:I understand your decision to leave, and if you're feeling strained by things in real life (your parents, etc.), as you mentioned, then taking a break might be a good thing. I just want to let you know that you're welcome to return at any time, and I'm free to discuss anything you want about the reason you left.

== Subpages for deletion ==

Hey Sam. I noticed you left three pages marked for deletion when you decided to take a break. Did you really mean for those to be deleted, or did you just forget to untag them? If you'd still like them deleted, just say so here, otherwise just untag them. Thanks! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Concerning Justin ==

Hi, Sam, there are still some things we need to work on when dealing with newer users. [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Justin_Master_of_Nature&diff=prev&oldid=529566 Here] you are improving in writing your messages, but you still need to polish it up. For example, "you making way to many subpages" has two problems: first, it needs to be "you ''are'' making way ''too'' many". (There are also other parts that need proofreading that I won't discuss.) Second, the problem isn't really that he's making too many subpages; it's that the subpages do not comply with our policy. It would have been best to link to our policy, [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|like this]].

Also, when Justin became disruptive (and yes, he was disruptive, you are right about that), you began to use some alarmed-sounding language, like the edit summaries [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Justin_Master_of_Nature&curid=39847&diff=529589&oldid=529586&rcid=486423 here] and [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Trey56&curid=9706&diff=529587&oldid=529582&rcid=486421 here]. This is a bad idea because it tends to make the situation worse: it does the opposite of calming the person down. It also was a bad idea to edit war with OptimisticFool over his userpage. If you disagree with someone else about what's acceptable on a userpage, ask a sysop to intervene.

I say this not to be overly critical, but because we do still need to present a professional, tactful and calm voice to our new users, even if they're disruptive. Therefore, please read the messages you write to users carefully and make sure they're clear and grammatically correct. And if they become disruptive, be calm in return (if you have a hard time with this, consider just waiting it out until someone else deals with the situation). Keep these in mind, and you should be on the road to doing better. Deal? Deal. OK, keep on tranglin'! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:01, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
:Also very important: if you suspect that a user is a sock, please do not ever post that suspicion on the user's talk page. If turns out that you're wrong and it's just a new user, one of the first things that new user will see is that accusation. Instead, ask a sysop to deal with it. My talk page is always open for this. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:49, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

:I don't think he was ever gone, even though he did once {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Sam_the_Man&oldid=527784 say that he was going}}. Still, it's good to see that you're still here, Sam. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 14:53, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

== Reply to your deleted comments ==
I'm sorry, Sam, we know you are trying to helpful. But unfortunately, you aren't succeeding. You say you're not trying to start fights, and I believe you. Nonetheless, fights do start when you talk to new users often enough that we have no choice but to restrict you on this. We've tried to give you advice several times, but it doesn't seem to be sinking in.

I know you are trying to be helpful, and I would encourage you to be helpful in some other way, as It's dot com has said above. You could also take advantage of his offer of help on IRC (I can probably help out with this, too, if you'd like.)

We don't want to discourage you from contributing, but we can't have the disruption that results from your interaction with new users any longer, even if it's not intentional. I'm sorry. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:45, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

:Sam, I really don't understand what you are doing, recently. You have been asked several times not to do [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Justin_Master_of_Nature&diff=532854&oldid=532832 this] anymore. Can it really be so hard to stay away from edits of this kind and simply contribute to the wiki? Also, that edit summary was way out of order after what It's dot com and Heimstern asked you. As Heimstern said, this behaviour is disruptive to the wiki, and you're not helping anybody. Please stop it right now. In addition to this, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Sam_the_Man&diff=532851&oldid=532850 threatening to vandalize] is not acceptable, and you know it. Maybe it really is a good idea for you to take a break and cool down a little. When you come back, please have another read of our comments on your talk page, and check out your old edits. Maybe with a clear head, you'll see what went wrong. See you then,{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:15, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

== Welcome Back ==
Yo, welcome back to the wiki. [[user:The-homsarrunner|The-homsarrunner]] 6:34 Jan,13,2008

== Test notices ==

Just for the future, there is a template you can use when giving someone a test notice, [[Template:Test]]. This will make it a bit easer since you won't have to type that stuff up all by yourself. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 23:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
:Here's the link to the wiki's carefully worded template: {{tl|test}}. It has simple instructions for use (don't forget to use '''<code>subst:</code>''') and I've used it myself several times. Enjoy! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
::I know. I was in a rush to my school bus and I had to make one really quickly. But, I knew that template existed. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 00:41, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
:::OK. Now that I think about it, I probably have seen you use it before. Over and out, {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 00:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
::::Well for important notices like these it's always good to err on the side of caution. See ya later. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::If you're in a rush, then don't put up notices on users' talk pages. Simple as that. What's the harm in letting another user do that? It's certainly better than leaving messages that are not up to standard - especially when you ''know'' that you're not doing it properly. You have been asked before not to police other users for a while, and my advice for you is to always make sure you're doing it absolutely correct when you're about to post something on a talk page. If you're unsure whether you follow our policies and guidelines, '''don't post'''. If you know you're not doing it properly, '''don't post'''. There's always next time. And it's a wiki, so don't stress, someone else will do the job if you don't.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:55, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

== Policing ==

Sam, please remember that you aren't supposed to be policing the wiki. Something like [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Dicai&diff=next&oldid=540000 this] counts as policing. If you see something like this that needs attention, let a sysop know rather than handling it yourself. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

== Peace Treaty thing ==

Did I hear something about a treaty thing between you and Ducky? When did that happen? - {{User:Znex/sig}} 23:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
:When I welcomed him back. I expected a treaty. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:15, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
::Oh. Obviously, he didn't take it in that way. - {{User:Znex/sig}} 23:16, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

==Hi==
Hi can you become a Delete Head go to my page.{{User:Coach B/sig}}01:38, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

== Talk Page Posts ==

See [[HRWiki:Talk page etiquette#General]] - while it's not best practice, one is well in their rights to remove posts from their talk page. The only possible exception to this would be an official message on behalf of admins, and even there it's a grey area. Reverting that with impunity would just result in a quickening of the eventual consequence (likely a ban) anyway. As much as I agree with your post and the sentiment behind it, and as much as I agree that he should let it stand, he's entitled to not have it there if he chooses. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
:Sam, you're once again policing the wiki by trying to make Coach B keep that message on his page. And once again, your policing proved disruptive. Please stop. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:54, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

== Username ==

Can i use your buttdance? Ok, all wrong-sounding trhings aside, I mean the one in your username. i want 2 use it in mine. Plz? {{User:Lazylaces/sig}} 15:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

== sorry, and thank you ==

i realized there was probably not enough of them to have a page, but i wanted to do SOMETHING for hrwiki.org. and for you to be able to find my paghe while i'm still working! amazing!!! so thank you for helping me realize that it wasn't a good idea and for being the first person on my talk page. yes, i'm that new. 12/24/07 as stated in my user page. but i'll keep trying to do something other than fix a gramatical error. i realize also that i probably won't be able to get to alot of pages/ideals before anyone else. to be honest, i thought there already was a page on the stuffed animals. i've seen your name all over the wiki, and i told you, i haven't been a member for long, but i've known about the site for about a year.

thanks, and again sorry about the page,
Homsarstrongbad150

i got your reply, and i need to know, how to set up the signature
Homsarstrongbad150

[[User:Homsarstrongbad150|Homsarstrongbad150]] 23:36, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

the tildes do nothing yet if you haven't set up a signature, right

oh, they do, but how do you get pictures like on yours?

thanks,

That's not OK, Homsarstrongbad150 was only trying to help. Now, please apologize to him and remember to treat other users with the politeness and respect that you expect from them. Thanks.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

it's ok. we talked about it and i realized it wasn't such a good idea. but my question is how did the space lobster get a page?

http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Europa-pean_Lobster

and we can't have one for stuffed animals?

[[User:Homsarstrongbad150|Homsarstrongbad150]] 00:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

:Well, Homsarstrongbad150, it's not been decided what to do with the article, yet! Check out the [[Talk:Stuffed animals|talk page]] for the ongoing discussion.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

== Pokemon ==
Hey, I noticed on your talk page that you said Pokemon sucks. Do you mean the anime or everything about it? Because I've been a Pokemon fan forever, and I just wanted to check. If you're talking about the newer TV episodes, I'd have to agree with you...

:::::OK, Sam, we could probably think of a nicer, less harsh way to put it. At any rate, let's all agree to disagree on this one, shall we? Great. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::??? Yeah, what you said. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 19:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

== Careless reverting ==

Sam the Man: {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Idon%27twannabeinlove&diff=544389&oldid=544388 This}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Idon%27twannabeinlove&diff=544392&oldid=544389 is}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Idon%27twannabeinlove&diff=544393&oldid=544392 ridiculous}}. (I am also leaving the same message to SamFisher1022 and DeFender1031.) As established editors I believe you handled poorly the welcoming of this user. Instead of providing a more welcoming and inviting message, you have a quick edit war of sorts in someone else's user talk page. Imagine how a new user would feel seeing this kind of mysterious edit summary arguments going on. This sort of behavior could easily turn away prospective editors (good or not so much). I think in general we've established a bad habit of quick reverts with a simple edit summary and no explanation. Friendly but informative notices to less established users should be the norm, not the exception. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

== "Nope, not at all" on Trogdor ==

Really? Why not?
:Does Trogdor really look an upside-down "C"? Not really. Although I do agree with you're theory, it doesn't look like Trogdor. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 00:19, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== sorry ==
i am sorry about what i did, that was my little brother using my computer to vandalize the wiki. it WASN'T me. --[[User:Wichesbrew82|Wichesbrew82]] 00:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:It's alright. I do hope you are telling the truth. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 00:22, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
it's the truth. you can trust me. my brothers just miffed because my parents won't buy him a laptop. i worked hard for mine.--[[User:Wichesbrew82|Wichesbrew82]] 00:32, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Edit summary again ==

Sam, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=dongelev&diff=544977&oldid=544975 this edit summary] is quite insensitive to a user who was clearly trying to help the wiki, albeit misguidedly. Please remember how it was when you were a new user and write the sort of edit summaries you would have wanted to see then. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

== Positive Interaction ==

Hey, Sam The Man. It's that guy Qermaq. I see from previous posts that some are critical of your interactions here. I can't disagree with them, sometimes you approach is gruff, but I can see your intent is good in faith. Allow me to be a resource to you.

On my user page, I have a [[User:Qermaq#How to become a sysop good user|section]] which gets into positive behavior and attitude here. I encourage you to give that a read. Also, take a look at [[HRW:BITE|this]], a concept I fail at still, time to time. And feel free to contact me via my user talk or elsewhere if you ever have a question. I know you intend to be a smart user at heart, and I extend my advice and experience to you. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:Thank you Qermaq. I try to be helpful, but I just can't find out. I know I'll never be a sysop here (I was blocked), so I try to act at least a little bit. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
::If you ever have a question about something, you can put it on my talk page. Either I or someone will respond when we can. And being a sysop isn't all it's cracked up to be, after all - all you get is a few extra buttons and doohickies, but they don't get any more real power here than you or I could attain. Power here comes from good editing, contribution, and being considerate and reasonable, not from being able to block or delete. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Power to the contributors! Anyways, thanks again. How needs to be a sysop anyway? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 22:12, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

== Wow (not the vandal) ==

Awexome new user page, Shim-Sham Sam. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 23:33, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks, Homestar Win-Er. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 00:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

== Overstepping your authority again ==

Hello Sam. We've been trying to give you a little more latitude with regard to interacting with users (even new users), but we must remind you that you are not the wiki's policeman, and it is not your place to edit another user's user page to remove a "users who suck" list, regardless of whether that list is inappropriate. If you have a problem with the content of someone's user page, you should put a note on their talk page or, better yet, discuss it with a sysop. Sysops are available almost all the time on IRC, and I remind you that several of us have specifically offered to assist you in deciding how to handle situations just like these. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
:It seems common practice here to only edit a userpage when there is, say, a coding error the user cannot repair, and even then it's best to get the user's consent on Talk before proceeding. User page editing for policy reasons is best left to those holding the keys, in order that any repercussions are in clear view of those who can block and delete pages as appropriate. If you, or I, take actions which might enrage a user, the resulting reaction might require a sysop's presence to quickly resolve, so it's best to have them on board and aware. User pages are the one thing a user has nearly entire control over, and I think that we all should respect that, even if the user puts up something inappropriate. Give them the chance to remediate on their own, and be sure a sysop is aware before any intrusive action is taken. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

== Refining the approach ==

Regading [http://hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Meme3&curid=38851&diff=547587&oldid=547575 this]: the intent was not bad, but the phrasing was. While we want talk contributors to use good communication skills, there's no policy stating that, and frankly we shouldn't say "you need to remember capitalizing the Letter "I"." That sounds like you're a grammarian telling others what to do.

An alternate approach is to tell them that you enjoy their posts, but would find it easier to read them if they'd be more careful with caps. What does this do that is different? It puts "fault" on yourself, not the other user. He's empowered to help you. Can you see how that helps the other guy not feel like he's being told what to do, and is instead feeling urged to do something that helps everyone?

Also, whenever you are letting a user know he "needs" to do something differently, it's a good idea to link to an example so it's clear what the issue was. Often just seeing an old edit again makes the gaffe clear enough. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Oracle is not a joke. It's a [[Wikipedia:Oracle database|database]]. A wiki needs a database to hold all the information. We use [[Wikipedia:MySQL|MySQL]], but there are many others, and the MediaWiki developers have been working to extend the software to be able to use the Oracle database. It's still in the experimental phase, which is why it was noted with an exclamation mark, indicating that it's not recommeded for important applications yet.

==Select The Usable Fun Facts==
What a clever and useful tool you have created! And your newly-developed acronym "STUFF" was a nice choice as well! I think you're doing a good thing here, as noted directly by your recent "policing" of the addition of obvious fun facts in [[virus]] - an increasing "annoyance" by new users of wiki (with the IP addresses and "no name brand" edits!) ...Heh. I think you're taking a great step toward creating a coherent list of fun facts - that are just what a veteran wiki user such as yourself would want them to be - fun AND factual. Keep up the great work, buddy. --[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 01:43, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I can't really take credit for the acronym -- that was [[User:Tom|Tom]]'s idea, after we spent a few minutes trying to decide on a name for it. I asked if we should pick a playful name or a boring and adminstrative name. So we hit on the idea of a boring name with a playful acronym. We decided on this one when Tom noted we could go "STUFF'D!" whenever something had to be moved. :P - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 02:01, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Trolling ==

I'm sorry if I did troll. Please forgive me.

== Fun Fact Compromise ==

I have given much thought to the progress being made with STUFF. 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 the following: {{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 you 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.

Please don’t take my dispute with "Stuff" as something personal. We both want the same thing, to make a fantastic Homestar reference site.

-[[User:Drhaggis|[[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]]] 16:32, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I don't take it personally, so no worries. But I think we should try out the STUFF page idea longer. I still don't really see anything wrong with it, and a single STUFF page will be easier to manage than a bunch of Talk pages. Yes, Wikipedia can afford to have everything spread thin on Talk pages, but they also have many more people watching what's going on in controversial articles. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 04:06, 27 Nov 2004 (MST)

==Apology==
Well, I don't appreciate any of this, either, even though I'm most likely the one that started it. Like I said, I have autism and I'm not lying (however you spell that word). Not being able to control my anger is a "side effect." Now, I know you're going to say that what I just said has nothing to do with this, but it does. I know people don't believe me and I'm sorry if I offended you, but I see no rules about anything anywhere, because of the obviously stupid person that I am. I know I'm going to be labeled as an idiot now, so I'm afraid to make an account and put the name "Taiya" up anywhere. I listened again to caffeine and I still don't hear anything. The quote of the week was from a later part in the email, and I probably won't believe the "real thing" any time soon. Oh, well. I don't care if anyone hates me. I just wanted to help the Homestar universe because I suck at doing anything else.

== To Answer Your Question ==

Regarding my removal of all evil acts from [[Strong Bad Smiling]], there was a discussion a few months ago over whether that gag was notable since his usual personality is not the direct opposite of happy (like Strong Sad). It was suggested on the talk page that the notablility would be improved by removing times he smiled ''because'' he did something bad. The question I was referring to in my headline was that "why?" in your edit summary. I apologize if I am too vague. You can say your opinion on the SB Smiling talk page.

== Beetlejuice/Betelgeuse ==
I was going to change this, but I see you reverted this change once, so I figured I'd bring it up with you first. According to the wikipedia article, the character is actually spelled like the star (ie "Betelgeuse") despite the fact the title is spelled differently. But I can see this could be confusing - most people more easily recognize the title spelling, so... should it just be left, though it's technically incorrect? Would you mind if it was changed back?[[User:Farmboyjad|Farmboyjad]] 04:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
:Leave it, I actually think wikipedia is wrong, why would the title character of a movie's name be spelled differently than the name of the movie itself? And i just read the wikipedia article, it makes no mention of the spelling, just always calls him "beetlejuice".

Instead of providing a more welcoming and inviting message, you have a quick edit war of sorts in someone else's user talk page. Imagine how a new user would feel seeing this kind of mysterious edit summary arguments going on. This sort of behavior could easily turn away prospective editors (good or not so much). I think in general we've established a bad habit of quick reverts with a simple edit summary and no explanation. Friendly but informative notices to less established users should be the norm, not the exception. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

== I'm in! ==

Thanks for welcoming me. I'm glad to be here. [[The 386]]

==Signatures==
Hey, The 386! I have been noticing that, when you are on talk pages, you sign your name like this <nowiki>[[The 386]]</nowiki>. That isn't how you sign. Here is how you sign. <nowiki>[[User:The 386|The 386]]</nowiki>. Just want to let you know! {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 22:28, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:And the easy way to do that is to use four tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. Generally we use four tildes to sign on a talk page and three tildes to vote on STUFF (four tildes is a signature with a timestamp). {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 22:30, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Oh, crud. I'll try though. Is this better? [[User: The 386|The 386]]

Oh, crud. I'll try though. Is this better? [[User:The 386|The 386]] 22:33, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)[[User: The 386|The 386]]

Yep. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 22:35, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Were good. [[User:The 386|The 386]] 22:37, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)[[User:The 386|The 386]]

It's fine, but you don't need to use the tildes and then put [[User:The 386|The 386]], just the tildes. It's no big, but it looks like you're signing twice. :) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 22:38, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Right. [[User:The 386|The 386]] 22:39, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Perfect! {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 22:40, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

It has been decided! [[User:The 386|The 386]] 22:40, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Uh, ''what'' has been decided? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 22:41, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

My name, dude. [[User:The 386|The 386]] 22:42, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== How to do custom sigs. ==

Likes you asked...

Go to [[User:The 386/sig]] and edit it as you please. You could make it <nowiki>[[User:The 386|The 386]][[User_talk:The 386|(talk)]]</nowiki> or anything you want. Then go to your preferences and in the "Your nickname (for signatures)" box put <nowiki>{{User:The 386/sig}}</nowiki> and make sure you have the "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" checked. Then everytime you put <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, it will put that sig. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 01:35, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

For real? I'll try... {User:The 386/.sig}

For real? I'll try... {User:The 386/sig}

I think I checked it. Would this do? {The 386/sig}

I think I checked it. Would this do? {The 386/sig} talk

I don't think I can do it. --The 386 01:39, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Make sure that <nowiki>{{User:The 386/sig}}</nowiki> is in your prefs. Curerntly, you only have one "{"

I think that's how I do it. {{User:The 386/sig}}

I think that's how I do it. {{User:The 386/sig}} (talked upon)

I think i got it down. --The 386 01:46, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I think I got it down. The 386 01:46, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

There you go, I made the page for you. Just edit [[User:The 386/sig]] to make it display what you want.

I got it now. {{User:The 386/sig}}

Do you want to make it different colors? If so, I could help.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 02:27, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I want different colors. {{User:The 386/sig}}

:Which ones would you like and do you want it to be in bold like my sig, or just regular?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 12:40, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I'll take the bold, but I hope it does what I want. {{User:The 386/sig}}

:Okay, now it's in bold. What colors do you want?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 12:47, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

It should be dark red on the text, and yellow on the line. {{User:The 386/sig}}

No, not the line. I think it should be just the text. {{User:The 386/sig}}

:You like it?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 12:57, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I like it. {{User:The 386/sig}}

I've noticed that the '''(talk)''' part of your signature doesn't link to your talk page. Would you like me to fix it for you? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:30, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

I need help! my signature dosent work correctly! Do you know how to fix it so the image links to the website? and how to make text smaller? My sig is [[User:Finest1/sig]][[User:Finest1|Finest1]]

== Current Status ==

Hey, there. I see you've added a "Current Status" section to your user page. In case you didn't know, there are some special pictures you can add to show how stressed you are. They are:

Image:Wikistress3D 1 v3.jpg (Just fine) 
Image:Wikistress3D 2 v3.jpg (A bit tense) 
Image:Wikistress3D 3 v3.jpg (Pretty stressed) 
Image:Wikistress3D 4 v3.jpg (I quit/I need a vacation)

{{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:08, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, that's fine. Can you show me how to get that image? --{{User:The 386/sig}} 16:08, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, never mind. I like my page as is, but the image is optional. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 16:26, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

::Also, there is a Image:Wikistress3D 5 v3.jpg (Run for cover). However, it's rarely seen. But it looks like this:
[[Image:Wikistress3D 5 v3.jpg|left|100px|thumb|CAPTION GOES HERE]]. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:03, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
<blockquote class="tandy email">Oh crud, that's rare. 
So, it would match the response to the image. So, you did. Still, How do I get such an image? 
{{User:The 386/sig}}</blockquote>

::I'm not quite sure what you mean, so I'll just answer what I ''think'' you mean.
:To get the first, type <nowiki>[[Image:Wikistress3D 1 v3.jpg|thumb|CAPTION GOES HERE]]</nowiki>.
:To get the second, type <nowiki>[[Image:Wikistress3D 2 v3.jpg|thumb|CAPTION GOES HERE]]</nowiki>.
:To get the third, type <nowiki>[[Image:Wikistress3D 3 v3.jpg|thumb|CAPTION GOES HERE]]</nowiki>.
:To get the fourth, type <nowiki>[[Image:Wikistress3D 4 v3.jpg|thumb|CAPTION GOES HERE]]</nowiki>.
:To get the fifth, (my favorite), type <nowiki>[[Image:Wikistress3D 5 v3.jpg|thumb|CAPTION GOES HERE]]</nowiki>.
::Hope that helps! {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:15, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

== Sig repair ==

Yes, I want it repaired. I hope it works. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 19:59, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

==Hey==
Just popped in to say hello.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 02:17, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

<blockquote class="tandy email">Uhh... how come? Well, for starters, someone like you, may be good. 
Well, I'll let it slide for now. 
Is there anything else you'd like to say? 
{{User:The 386/sig}}</blockquote>

I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. That's all. I would also like to ask you about your opinion of Homsar. That's about it.
Oh, just out of curiosity, what did you mean by "may be good"?--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 00:37, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

<blockquote class="tandy email">Whoops, I didn't mean "may be good." 
But still, thanks for the introducement. 
Do you think I should have a guestbook? 
{{User:The 386/sig}}</blockquote>

Hmm...Yeah, probably. I have one. It's fun to see who checks out your page. I also like to encourage people to make comments about my userpage on my talk section. It's always nice to get feedback.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 18:25, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

:Me too. {{User:The thing/sig}} 8:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

I have it, but I'm still active. I'm going to stay active, even though I'm on vacation. I'm gonna return soon. Okay, guys? --{{User:The 386/sig}} 20:21, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

== Signature ==

The 386, with your several frustrated reverts of your signature, it has come to my attention that you may simply be having a cache issue. For your signature to appear the way you've updated it, the caches on the pages it was linked to from will need to be purged. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:11, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm going to leave my sig as is, so, I'm giving up on it. I'll try later. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 21:13, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

== About that warning. ==

You don't have to worry about spam from me. I didn't even think of that when I made that name. It's a reference to Ultima 6, where one of the cheat codes was talking to a character and saying "SPAM SPAM SPAM HUMBUG". {[[User:SpamHumbug|SpamHumbug]] 00:39, 1 January 2006 (UTC)}

Kay. I'm pretty sure 'bout that, but still, try harder next time. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 00:42, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

== Do I dare ask... ==
I've been wondering. Why do you hate me welcoming new users, but you're ok with other users doing it? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:41, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

:You've welcomed over 80 users! When am I gonna... ''{bangs head on keyboard}'' Oh never mind. Carry on... --{{User:The 386/sig}} 00:42, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

::You should not expect other users to step back so you can welcome someone. If a user on the welcoming committee is online, and a new user is created, he or she will welcome that new user. If you would like to welcome someone, watch recent changes carefully. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 02:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Kay. I'll watch. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 02:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

== Siggy ==

I think your sig is broken. If you want it fixed, you're missing a <nowiki></nowiki> tag. Put it in after all the other codes.

--{{User:Nckinfn04/sig}} 21:08, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

It's in. I think it's better now. {{User:The 386/sig}} 21:13, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

== Email ==
REPLY'D!!!— {{User: Seriously/sig}}

Er, the tildes don't have to be in the email... --{{User:The 386/sig}} 21:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

:Whoops, bad habit. ;) — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

== Editing Signatures ==

Please do not edit other user's signatures without their permission. Thank you. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 14:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

But that sig was too long. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 14:42, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

:I know you were trying to help, but the only person that needs to edit Finest1's signature is himself (unless he asks somebody to do it for him). I'm aware that his sig is too big, and I'm sure he's currently working on it. Thanks for trying to help. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 14:50, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== Cool! ==
Nice potion pics, i'm gonna get somthing like that. - {{User:Derrickee3/sig}} 1/8/07

== Your Back! ==

I've never known you or seen you post, but I do know you've been gone for a long time. So I am the first to say welcome back to the wiki! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

All 'cause of YouTube. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 23:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

== Minor Edits ==

Hi, good to see you back here more frequently. I wanted to point out [[Help:Editing#Minor edits]] because I saw a recent edit marked as minor which really isn't technically a minor edit. I know, picky picky. Wasn't sure if you hadn't seen that section or just plain forgot. No big deal. Keep on tranglin'. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

== Welcoming comments ==

Hi The 386,
Re: {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Idon%27twannabeinlove&diff=544388&oldid=544361 this welcome}}. I would like to encourage you to be a little more friendly when welcoming new users. Your comment could've been construed as more corrective and less welcoming to users unfamiliar with the wiki. (And it's also a good idea to wait for a user to have more than a couple of edits under their belt). It's always best to sound welcoming and encouraging in a "welcome". --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:30, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

* Cool! Wow! My first serious contribution! check out: [[The Geddup Noise]]. It's not yet complete, and it definitely it a lot of work! But all These guys you see in the history have worked hard at getting this list right! Amazing how much goes into one little article! I'm tired. I need to go back to the world of responsability again :(. Take care ppl! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:32, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)
**Great job with that article! ^-^ You and Joshua did great with it (although I helped. A little). Good luck with future articles too. I might suggest making note of it on your actual user page too, along with the talk page. (I like it on the talk page, though. It lets people--like me--give random and well-deserved congratulations.) In closing, keep up the nice work. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
***Thank you for the kind comment DorianGray! You have a wonderful night! :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:50, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Geocities ==

If your website is hosted by geocities free then how you get a domain??? {{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 08:06, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Hehe! It's a secret! Actually, it's a little thing called domain parking! You register your domain (you gotta pay for that part) and "park it" -- you don't buy hosting. Many sites will offer free website redirection and will mask the real address (this is what I do). <s>Two</s> A good place is [http://www.godaddy.com godaddy.com] which is dirt cheap and offers lots of features, and is the only registrar I use at this moment. <s>and [http://www.namesdirect.com/ names direct] which offers a couple (not really that many) of other features but at a greater expense per year</s>. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 14:02, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::How much do you pay??? {{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 05:58, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

:::Well, the geocities page is one of their free ones (hence the ads and the limit on web space and traffic -- but mine's not a very big and important page so I don't care about that). All I pay for is the domain -- this one runs at about $40/year, while another one I have is $14/year and both include "domain protect" which keeps my personal information private in the Whois Database. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 06:02, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

::::Well. This is awesome. {{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 06:28, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

''UPDATE: I am no longer a customer of namesdirect nor do I trust that company that much anymore. I have since switched exclusively to GoDaddy.'' --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:31, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

== Jackie C. ==

Just so you know, Jackie C. is [[Jackie Chapman]], Matt's wife.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 15:42, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:OOOOOHH! Why thank you very much! Very, very much! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:45, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Your very welcome!--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 15:46, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Subpages ==

Hey Stux. I notice you have some stuff on this page that isn't really talk. My guess is that you don't want it on your main user page. May I suggest a subpage? Perhaps "User:Stux/to-do". You're allowed to have subpages for projects you're working on and other things that further the goals of the wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:36, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Cool! Thanks for the tip! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:38, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I adjusted the formatting on the email table to the wiki format, which hopefully will make it easier for you to use. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:18, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Gray backgrounds ==

Oh! You were so close! When you first started uploading those, I looked to check them out, and realized that they were going to be very good. I was gonna leave you a note on your talk page, but when I noticed how fast you were uploading, I decided not to mess up the beauty of your string of edits. I can't believe you got all the way to 3 before it was interrupted... Man! And, before I forget to say it in all my ramblings, good jorb! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:LOL! Why thank you very much Hamstring, er Homegrown, er It's dot com! I didn't even see the string of edits uuntil I refreshed my Recent Changes tab... Wow! I got lucky that there was a lull too! Hehe I'm glad you liked the edits! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:53, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::BTW I learned from the best! I noticed you and BazookaJoe going at it with those page deletions earlier today! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:58, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[[Image:RabidTheCheat.png|thumb]]
I really didn't look for it, but the other day I really wanted to post this picture in my user space. I finally found it and I'm posting it. It pretty much describes how I've been feeling all week. Meh!
--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:05, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Kudos for whoever made the template <code><nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki></code> found here [[Template:clear]]. Even '' '''THAT''' '' i had to dig for again cuz it didn't occur to me to bookmark it or copy it to my page. Oh well. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

[[Image:strongbadsweater.PNG|thumb|left| Much better!]]
I feel better and more relaxed now!

== In the news... ==

I think I will no longer be reading my current news from regular, hyped up news franchises, but instead from a '''truly''' unbiased ''(relatively speaking)'' source like the [[Wikipedia:Main_Page|Wikipedia]]. Case in point:
*The [[Wikipedia:2005_Indian_subcontinent_earthquake|2005_Indian_subcontinent_earthquake]] is a very recent, tragic event. This article on the wiki has been published the same day of the event. It cites the [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4321490.stm BBC] article among others, and you can tell the night and day difference in tone, sensationalism and objectivity. Wow.
* How I long for jounalists to attain the same level of true objectivity as encyclopedia writers are required ('''this''' wiki is a great example, beleive it or not). My apologies to those who are in the journaling business and also contribute/read the wiki. I am not trying to offend anyone but rather to make an observation.
* In the meantime I will keep the people in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India in prayer.
--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:07, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Well it turns out there is a [http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page Wiki News] project out there already! It's early so I haven't read the articles, so I can't render a verdict. Good day all! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 13:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

== Wha? ==
What are you talking about with "Thanks for catching my little swappage in the Stinkoman page"? [[User:Seek Bar|Seek Bar]]

==Stress==
Stux, what are those recent templates for? We have those images uploaded. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:57, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

:The [[User_talk:Stux/Stress_Template|templates]] are meant for "easy coding" for the stress level images (they link to them directly), that way people just need to change the level simply by changing the stress level number. I wanted to try it out and see if people would like to use that for their pages. If they are too much trouble I can remove them. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:01, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

::No trouble at all. Just curious. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 01:07, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

== Heh ==

I caught that ''Robin Hood: Men in Tights'' edit summary. That's what it was, right? Anyway, I love that movie. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 17:04, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
:Lol! Awesome! Yup! that's right! Only that it's actually "D-E-E-D" but I'm used to saying it the other way. I wasn't sure if anyone would catch that! Yeah, it's an awesome movie. I gotta get my girlfriend to watch it, I know she'd like it! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:08, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

== IDs ==

The IDs for the costumes page were to the individual years, which are now taken care of by the individual pages. That's why there aren't IDs on the new pages (although, if someone wanted to get ''really'' ambitious, he or she could put 'id="homestar"', etc. on all the pages. But that's a topic for another day, probably). Also, you don't need to put underscores in the links. The software takes care of that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:17, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:Sounds like a job for grape nuts {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 18:21, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:''Edit Conflict:'' I thought the one for Thy Dungeonman specifically was for the specific costume it was referring to (that is Strong Sad's costume? (LOL i didn't even catch the "pub" the first time I read it. ) Of course, SS is third on the list so it doesn't really matter as much now, does it? As for the underscores... um yeah... I was kinda lazy there, cuz I just copied and pasted the corresponding URLs and removed the header part of the url... :) *whistles* anyway... since you already fixed the old ones while I was typing, I'll keep an eye out for the new ones! ''(This will sound silly, but who's grape nuts!?)'' --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:25, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
::[[User:GrapeNuts]] is a bot belonging to JoeyDay. He's programmed for automated tasks and replacements and stuff like that. It's pretty wild. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== WikiTroll ==

Oops, sorry about that early post thing. Was an accident. But what I wanted to say is that if a troll has been blocked, it doesn't need to go on the WikiTroll page. That is simply to bring the troll to a sysop's attention, and especially with this WikiTikiTavi guy, it is just not worth the time and energy. This is probably good news for you eh? {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 06:52, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
:LoL I thought that was an interesting message. I was thinking of leaving some smart quip like "nice message" but I figured I'd wait and see what developed. BTW you're fast on them reverts! Yeah, you're right, it really isn't worth my time and energy. But when I started noticing, I didn't know if there were sysops around so I did it anyway. Yeah at least I know now they're being block so yeah you bring an excellent point. The last ones I still wanted to make sure they didn't get 'missed' or whatever might've been going through my mind. Now to breathe... and then go to bed!
:On another note, the pages this guy targets are usually the same, only deviating slightly. The usernames seem generated and are fairly similar. He is pretty fast but I dunno if he's using a script. It seems like he/she is though. Oh well. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:02, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
::I'll just answer my own questions with [[User_talk:Homestar_Coder#WikiTikiTavi:_The_new_WoW.3F|links]], how's that? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:09, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

==All this blocking crap==

:Ok, problem solved, thanks for helping. But, what it said was something like, ''This IP adress has been blocked by [[User:Homestar Coder|Homestar Coder]] for some bad editing thingy. Initial something was "wow."''
'':There is the possabillity that we could've made a mistake, (Which is what i think happened), in which case, you can contact Homestar Coder. Sorry for the inconvienience.''
That's pretty much all I can remember. Sorry. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:44, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

== +be ==

What does ''(+be)'' stand for?--[[User:Stephen923|Stephen923]]
:I'm not sure, it depends on the context, where did you see that? Was it one of my edits? If it was one of mine it most likely means I added the word "be" to the text. Can you provide a link to the edit? Thanks! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:54, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
::Oh! Now I know what you're [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page_9&diff=185439&oldid=175565 talking about]! At the time, some main pages had a "Button Effects" title, though most didn't. As a result I went ahead and added that title to all the main pages that didn't so that they would be uniform and would look better. The first change I'm sure I labeled "button effects", but all subsequent changes I made i labeled "+be" to refer to that first change (to mean that I was adding('''+''') a "'''b'''utton '''e'''ffects title) and to save time while I was doing all 20 or so pages. I hope that clears everything up! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:24, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

== Proxies ==

Er, why aren't you filling in the data? Those shortcuts aren't accurate. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:25, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
: For example, on 62.101.126.223, you put 62.101.96.0/19. But I get 62.101.126.208 - 62.101.126.223, with a range of 62.101.126.208/ 28. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
:: In that case, the /19 domain does come up on the page as a parent to the range you put. So both appear. Better to use the more specific ones though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
:'''Edit Conflict x2''' That is all of the information that is provided by the whois. As per my [[HRWiki_talk:ProxyBlocks#Different format|question]] on the talk page. Oh wait I just realized I got it backwards... GRRRRR!!!! Well I'm not going to bed anytime soon. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:30, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
::So to be clear... use the /28 in the example above, NOT the /19 which is more general cuz it uses less bits that don't change... right!? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:31, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
::: Right. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:33, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
::::Got it! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:33, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, the bigger the number, the more specific the range. Anything below /24 may end up being too general for us to use, so the higher the number, the better. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:35, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

==Homestar User==
On the other hand, weren't you a little hard on [[User:Homestar|Homestar]]? (I can't believe nobody'd taken that name before now!) The word "panties" has, after all, itself appeared on H*R, and Marzipan's dubious anatomy makes it more of an improbability than an "obscenity." Of course the edit should have been deleted, but I was just going to do that without comment, or maybe with a somewhat gentler comment. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 01:04, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::::::::Thunderbird's trivia was no doubt made more confusing by the fact that you ''aren't'' actually German, are you, Läufy? (And as for your homework, I can summarize for you:
*Stravinsky's neoclassicism was one of the earliest examples of corporate downsizing among composers. After the roaring success (?) of ''Rite'', he was planning a lavish production incorporating a Russian fable into grand pageant, as he had with ''The Firebird''. There were to be grand song-and-dance numbers showcasing the soldier and the devil, chorus scenes with the inhabitants of the soldier's native village, and a live jazz combo on stage in addition to the full pit orchestra. The task of casting the soldier and the devil was difficult, since they would need to be not only strong operatic vocalists, but skillful violinists and trained balletists as well. In the end war broke out, and Stravinsky was forced to settle for a few instruments and people talking. This dramatic reduction in artistic forces was to subsequently inspire that other wartime masterpiece, the ''[[Wikipedia:Quatuor_pour_la_fin_du_temps|Quartet for the End of Time]]''. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:24, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey there, Stux. I don't really want to get into a revert war about whether the colors in [[Template:featuredarticle]] are the same or not, but you mentioned in [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Template%3Afeaturedarticle&diff=213371&oldid=213364] that you found that they actually were the same. Well, I too have checked, on both a laptop (LCD) and a desktop (CRT) and the result has always appeared the same to me, in that the colors contrast slightly. I had found a near-perfect match with said converter, and I believe that it is the correct color. May I have your opinion? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:44, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
:Sure no problem. Thank you for posting this, I did not want a revert war either. Unfortunately, this may be a more techincal issue than we both might have anticipated. I think I notice the slight tonal difference between the background and the image. (Actually, I think this might be for me a visual artifact). Unfortunately, the RGB combination that you gave presented an even higher contrast between the image and background colors, which is why I reverted it. If you see your RGB combination as the correct color in both your monitors, perhaps we might be running into some obscure problems with our hardware? It is certainly strange. I have GIMP installed on my machine at home and will inspect the RGB values that it gives me and compare them with what we have. Actually Windows paint gave me Red: 248 Green:216 Blue:163. Which converted to hex would equate to: Red: F8, Green: D8, Blue: A3. Which would mean that numerically #F8D8A3 would be the correct color code. (#FFD196 would give it too much red, and not enough blue). I don't think E.L.Cool would've created the template with color differences, so it baffles me that both of your monitors would show a difference in the color combinations for that page. From what i see #F8D8A3 has to be the right color combination. I'm wondering, have you modified your monobook.css file? Have you tried looking at the page as an anonymous user? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:49, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
::Here's the wierd thing. I just rechecked it with my laptop and it looks like it is the right color. However, ever other computer at my school shows the subtle color difference.

::::I was going to suggest that we get someone else to chime in on this thing. Yes there is a way to do this, and that is to make the background of the image transparent (there is a "transparency color " that many formats (includnig PNG i'm pretty sure) can use). I think I can do that with the GIMP (the hard part is cutting the border "just right"), I'll see what I can do.

Oh well, welcome to the wild world of color correction and tone. Just ask Dot com, or the guys that work with color with Dot com's magazine (not sure if he works with color himself). No two monitors display the same thing the same way (kinda like going to Best buy and looking at all the HDTV's and how different their image qualities are). But it's still strange that Lapper's school computers displayed different colors for pixels that were supposed to have the same RGB values.

"—but we need to scare The Cheat."
I always found it comical that SB knows the grammar rules for it's vs its, but doesn't know what Haikus are. This might just nit-picking after all, it's your poem, but, I thought I'd share that traditionally Haikus have 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third line. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:02, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
:Lol! Ah! I knew someone would come to me with that! Just not this quickly. This I actually wrote (well assuming i got the first line right), during a workshop I had in college where one of the Biology Teachers (yes, Biology) who is an avid Haiku-ist gave us the task to write a [[Wikipedia:haiku|Haiku]]. Among some of the things that we were taught: Japanese haiku's do not always strictly follow the 5-7-5 rule. Some of these even portray some picture with irony or surprise in it. I'm not sure exactly where she got her style (since it was so long ago) but it was that style I was following when I wrote it! :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

== Hi there ==

Hey, Stux, how's going? I've been thinking that I haven't talked atcha in a while, so I just thought I'd leave you a little message. School's back in for me and it's quickly beginning to kick my butt. Too much Greek music theory. My French class is going OK. It's not too hard so far, although I'm quickly learning that having learned German is not a great aid to learning French. The skills you need for the two languages are so different. Anyway, I hope all's going well for you. Keep on tranglin'! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:47, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
:Hey Heimstern! Thanks for dropping a note! It is very kind of you :). Anyway I am doing well, I got back from PR last week and I already have tons of stuff to do here. I'll be writing papers till tongue turns green. Speaking of which I have one that I gotta work on that I really don't feel like working on it. Which is why I'm editing the wiki! Go figure :). Greek music theory eh? I didn't even know such a class exited. How's that different from um, regular music theory? Is this music from the height of the Greek Empire? You'll be fine in french. If you know latin or spanish it might help a little. Someday I'd like to learn german, but someday I'd also like to learn one of Chinese (Cantonese or Mandarin), Japanese or Korean. Totally different languages so I'll have to pick one, but i dunno. So I take it things are going well for you? Save the gobs of work coming your way (mine too!) Take it easy! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
::Today was our seminar on Greek music theory. It's music theory from ancient Greece. Basically the oldest Western music theory we have. It went OK, all things considered. Now it's time to work on medieval theory. As for French: the difficulty is that I don't have any real experience in Spanish or Latin. Learning German has had the positive effect of giving me the experience of having learnt another language, but also the negative effect of strengthening all the wrong points for learning a Romance language. What do I mean by that? I mean that where English has similarities with German, they are usually differences with French. (Already I remember several times when my teacher said, "That's like in English" and I thought to myself "Hmm. It's different in German".) But that class is still going pretty well. I just have to learn a new set of habits (like sticking adjectives after nouns). So that's the fun I've been up to lately. Sounds like you've had a dose of it yourself.

Hey! Over on the [[HRWiki:Guestbooks|ongoing-exercise-in-situational-irony page]], I just rearranged a couple of my ideas.

A few comments later I made a second point that really applied more to the context of the section (''If'' the practice is ended, what?) about leaving them and tagging them like archived STUFF arguments instead of deleting. Now I've shifted it so the second suggestion is the one being voted on. Lower down you had entered a vote saying "I go for this option I'm voting for"; I've taken the liberty of keeping it intact; if you don't in fact like that idea please change it to a non-vote.

I noticed [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=First_Time_Here%3F&curid=1385&diff=428262&oldid=421083 this edit summary] — and thought I'd mention that [[Template:inlinecontentwarning]] has a feature for changing the warning if necessary. If you want to change the text, put the new text after a vertical bar, and if you also want to change the mouse-over message, put the new message after a second vertical bar, like so: <code><nowiki>{{inlinecontentwarning|illegal pony fight warning|This link contains VERY illegal pony fights}}</nowiki></code> produces {{inlinecontentwarning|illegal pony fight warning|This link contains VERY illegal pony fights}}. I didn't make the change myself 'cause I didn't know what you had in mind. Laters! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

::::Unfortunately, because of how the template substitution thingies work, you can either make a template transclude nicely or subst nicely... ideally I'd make it so that {{tl|sbemail}} was subst'ed in that thing too, but to make it so that that happens nicely (without including the entire switch every time), I'd end up breaking all the times that {{tl|sbemail}} is transcluded anywhere (which is a lot of places).

== QOW ==
Okay, i'll give you brownie points for guessing the answer. This answer may be true (since you googled it), but it wasn't the answer i was looking for. This answer (or one of) is that cats don't have a collarbone. If you or I were to jump and land on all fours, we could break our collarbone. Cats don't have that risk, so they land on all fours with no injury. For getting a right answer, however, you and {{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} recieve this fine userbox.

:Thanks for the userboxes! I don't usually have any on my homepage here, but that just might change. We'll see. Actually, I think I know where I'll put em. As for answering so many questions... sorry that wasn't my original intention. I wanted to answer a math one but then I figured I'd give a stab at the QOW (which again was just an [[Wikipedia:Ear|educated]] [[Wikipedia:Inner_ear|guess]] and I'm still not sure if it constitutes as a right answer). Anywho, when your math problem came up, I couldn't help but to answer it! Now to try to beat [[User:Trey56#NES Endings Trivia Challenge|Trey's quiz]]! BTW I dunno if you're aware or not, but this wiki's convention is to leave conversations in one page (different from wikipedia). The reason for this is that they're easier to read, and it's not a big problem since we don't get the volume of edits the big wiki does and so we can easily keep track of replies through the watchlist. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

== Filmographies in character category ==

I'm a little confused as to why you just put all the filmographies in the character categories. I mean, the filmographies obviously aren't characters, and now you have to scroll through all the filmographies to get to the actual category content. Maybe we could make a "Main Character Filmography" category instead? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 20:13, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
:Hmmm that's probably a better idea. Actually I was thinking about creating a {{tl|CategoryMainFilmography}} (smaller name would be better) template for these categories since they all have the same information, and then just change the template. What do you think? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
::Meh, not so sure about the template. I think it's probably okay how it was (with maybe the new main filmography category added). But it probably wouldn't hurt either, so, uh... yeah. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 20:22, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Most of these categories have similar wording but inconsistent formatting (e.g. some have {{tl|CategoryTOC}}'s others don't). But for this case I'd like some "yes"/"no" feedback before proceeding. As for [[:Category:Main Character Filmography]] I'll start on that soon (later if I do the template). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:30, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
::::All right then, the templates sound okay. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 20:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::I changed the template name, made it and then ditched it. I went ahead and fixed the cats in each page manually! :S Having the template didn't seem worth all that trouble. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:53, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

== Contest #3 ==
=== Monty Python Reference ===

I love that monty python reference! "What is the 44th mersenne prime number?" i am a college student with a math major and i love number patterns like this. may i use it elsewhere? [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 02:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

ps it is debatable if there are different mersenne primes after #39 between the other ones. if there aren't,then the 44th known mersenne prime is 232,582,657 - 1, which has 9,808,358 digits. (don't you love wikipedia) [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 02:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

:Sweet! Glad you liked the reference! Feel free to use the lines anywhere you like. Just make sure you use a <code><nowiki><references></nowiki></code> tag and link to my page otherwise i'll be forced to use the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Citing sources|[''citation needed'']]] tag! ;)
:Actually, you are absolutely right. Since the solution space between the 44th and 39th mersenne primes hasn't been fully checked there may be others hidden (though I personally doubt it). But yeah, 232,582,657 - 1 '''''is''''' the 44th Mersenne Prime*!!! I myself am a math geek as well so I enjoy talking math stuff with whomever is interested! (My BS was in CS ''and'' Math.)
:So guess, what? That entitles you to a cupcake! That's the answer to the third question of my contest (getting the question itself is now easy). You're also very close to the first question and answer. However, I cannot give you cupcakes for that since the question is unknown and the answer hasn't been well... fully answered. ;) (Hints will be on hold for now.)

:Yeah I've been meaning to bring this up for a while, but never got around to it. And no one had noticed till now :-p. Anyway, [[:Image:1overn.PNG]] was going to be my intended target. It was uploaded by IRF and I volunteered to adopt it for the time being. Though it was noted at some point that it was unnecessary since it was part of a convo. So I'm guessing it should still be somewhat of a legit image. Anyway, so I'm definitely keeping the other two. Not sure what the options are for 1overn's survival.

==Apology==
Well, I don't appreciate any of this, either, even though I'm most likely the one that started it. Like I said, I have autism and I'm not lying (however you spell that word). Not being able to control my anger is a "side effect." Now, I know you're going to say that what I just said has nothing to do with this, but it does. I know people don't believe me and I'm sorry if I offended you, but I see no rules about anything anywhere, because of the obviously stupid person that I am. I know I'm going to be labeled as an idiot now, so I'm afraid to make an account and put the name "Taiya" up anywhere. I listened again to caffeine and I still don't hear anything. The quote of the week was from a later part in the email, and I probably won't believe the "real thing" any time soon. Oh, well. I don't care if anyone hates me. I just wanted to help the Homestar universe because I suck at doing anything else.

"i'm pretty sure that it's not good form to just delete a talk page like that without at least creating an archive... (someone correct me if i'm wrong)"

== Revert warring ==

DeFender, you say [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=business_trip&curid=38242&diff=507102&oldid=507100&rcid=463357 "stop revert warring"], yet you also were revert warring. Does that seem right to you? If you felt talk page discussion was so important, why didn't you initiate it? To borrow Smokey the Bear's phrase, "Only YOU can prevent edit wars." {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:I was reverting because the fact was originally written like that, and i was saying to discuss it before just removing it. Now that I think about it, you're right, I should probably have just let it go, discussed it, and let it be resolved, after all, does it really matter if it's on the page during the discussion, as long as it ends up the way the community decides it should? I apologize, and will try to be less agressive in the future. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== hey, hey, hey ==
i haven't checked out my userpage for like a month, so i was just poking around and saw your "i'm so stealing you shomer shabbat box" comment so naturally, i click your username instead of finishing my essay. so what do i find on your page? sweet, sweet fame. recognition on the same list as some of the wikiest big shots on the wiki.... i'll try to keep the kavod from getting to my head. much love,
{{User:TheDude/sig}} 03:49, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

== Undoing legitimate edits ==
If you're going to undo an edit that looks suspicious but that might turn out to be correct (like {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=homestarrunner.com&diff=508164&oldid=508163 this}}), please leave a note on the original editor's talk page or on a high-visibility talk page informing someone of what action you took, in case it turns out the edit was indeed legitimate and should not have been reverted (as was the case here). Something like, "Hey, I noticed you made X important change to such-and-such page. What was your basis for this edit?" Thanks, and keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

== To Answer Your Question ==

Regarding my removal of all evil acts from [[Strong Bad Smiling]], there was a discussion a few months ago over whether that gag was notable since his usual personality is not the direct opposite of happy (like Strong Sad). It was suggested on the talk page that the notablility would be improved by removing times he smiled ''because'' he did something bad. The question I was referring to in my headline was that "why?" in your edit summary. I apologize if I am too vague. You can say your opinion on the SB Smiling talk page.

== Beetlejuice/Betelgeuse ==
I was going to change this, but I see you reverted this change once, so I figured I'd bring it up with you first. According to the wikipedia article, the character is actually spelled like the star (ie "Betelgeuse") despite the fact the title is spelled differently. But I can see this could be confusing - most people more easily recognize the title spelling, so... should it just be left, though it's technically incorrect? Would you mind if it was changed back?[[User:Farmboyjad|Farmboyjad]] 04:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
:Leave it, I actually think wikipedia is wrong, why would the title character of a movie's name be spelled differently than the name of the movie itself? And i just read the wikipedia article, it makes no mention of the spelling, just always calls him "beetlejuice". Finally, this is the sort of thing for the talk page of an article itself, not my personal talk page. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

But i think you're asking if you can make a relationship page about HS and TC, and that's got nothing to do with me, i don't do much by way of those pages, i'm just the guy who wrote the script to make that cool chart. Consider any of those pages to be like any other page on the wiki, all that chart means is that someone wnated an easy way to organize that info, and that that chart doesn't really belong in the main namespace, so i put it in my own. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

(I am also leaving the same message to SamFisher1022 and Sam the Man.) As established editors I believe you handled poorly the welcoming of this user. Instead of providing a more welcoming and inviting message, you have a quick edit war of sorts in someone else's user talk page. Imagine how a new user would feel seeing this kind of mysterious edit summary arguments going on. This sort of behavior could easily turn away prospective editors (good or not so much). I think in general we've established a bad habit of quick reverts with a simple edit summary and no explanation. Friendly but informative notices to less established users should be the norm, not the exception. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

HRWiki:Changing username

2008-03-04T03:32:36Z

School of Rock: /* Lasor Lime */

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, [[HRWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.
==Requesting a change==

To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request to the bottom of the section below. Use the following template: <code><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></code>
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

==Current requests==
<div style="background:#FFC;text-align:center;border:1px solid #CC9">'''Please use this template for new requests: <tt><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></tt>'''</div>

===Dramus===
Could you change all edits with the name 'Dramus' to 'TDSDramus'? I'm the same person, but I forgot my password for the Dramus account, and did not have an E-Mail address linked to the Dramus account. Thanks. [[User:TDSDramus|Lifing for love, drinking for free.]] 04:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

==Reply==

''(concerning my content on an anonny talk:''

''"I would advise two other things. (1) Choose your battles. Getting heated over punctuation placement is a bit much, don't you think? (2) If you really care so much about the wiki's content, why not sign up for an account? - Qermaq - (T/C) 04:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)")''

I'm perfectly aware of what an idiotic thing it looks like, but I am demonstrating that ''my'' edits are made by ''my'' grammar rules that are correct where ''I'm'' from, and I don't appreciate them being needlessly and pointlessly 'corrected'. I appreciate that as an American cartoon, American language/spelling is used, but grammar is such a longshot.

So, tell me more about what defines an account as caring about what goes in the wiki? --[[User:90.240.34.177|90.240.34.177]] 04:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

:Hi! As we are documenting an American cartoon, we've agreed to largely stick to American rules of grammar and spelling. This means we prefer "color" to "colour", and that we keep to US conventions in grammar. (Not that that's always cut and dried, you'll understand.) But, there's an unwritten rule that's as true here as it is in real life - if it's not terribly important, don't bother with it. If a change makes things clearer, go for it, but if it's six of one, a half dozen of another, no action is really needed.
:Re: having an account. Not that it's fair, but the reality is most users accord a bit more credibility to someone with an account, as they've made a modicum of a commitment to the wiki. Also, this enables you to have a user page and let us get to know you through it, and that's an important part of acting within a community. I encourage you to get an account and get involved, as it seems you are sincerely interested in bettering the wiki. If that's indeed your goal, I think you should! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
::I'm sitting here chuckling because I'm having trouble making out exactly what you're trying to say. Cut and dried? Six of one, half dozen of another? What are you on about? Anyway, believe me, I looked at the style guide before I edited and it doesn't say anything about "US conventions"... but it does say that it's better to stick punctuation outside of the quotation mark than inside in cases like that, so I did. I'm also not really appreciating the way you're addressing me, as though I was the one being picky in the first place: if my edit had been left alone, I wouldn't have kicked up such a fuss. It's not like I go around moving full stops everywhere I see them.
::Not to sound harsh but I'd rather have nothing to do with the 'community'. Fans scare me. The fact I'm already being referred to as an 'anonny', which I believe is a reference in itself, already has alienated me. And I don't like people that get too involved with wikis anyway.

I didn't much appreciate the insulting comments you made about me in my recent challenge of the Stains on Head decline in [[Talk:KOT's VOQPCS!#Contesting of Stains on Head decline|KOT's VOQPCS!]]. I feel that I was being singled out by you because I didn't agree with your logic, and felt that you were more than a little rude and a jerk in your comments. I understand you didn't agree, but you didn't need to go the route you did. If you don't agree, fine. Don't make yourself seem like a superior being just because someone doesn't agree with you. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 16:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
:ISlayedTheKerrek: I personally think it was kind of rude to single Qermaq out as a so-called bad-faith voter when in fact he hadn't even voted. It seems that it really struck a chord with him and colored his response to you (which, though his tone of communication was clearly irritated that you hadn't done your homework, it was still somewhat modulated, methinks). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
::Maybe so, but I did apologize for that, Dot Com. I thought I saw his name there when I wrote the comment, but after I rechecked I took it back. I screwed up, I said I was sorry.

:I find it odd that the person accusing me of behaving "like a superior being" began this whole affair by accusing fourteen users of voting in poor faith simply because the outcome of the STUFF vote went contrary to his wishes. While I found that tactic distasteful, I replied with what I felt was a fair and explanatory message as to why a majority of people seemed to find the fact unacceptable. I was met with a response which, in my opinion, fell just short of personal attack. Yes, I was upset about that, and I cannot apologize for that. I took exceedingly great care in crafting a post which expressed my reaction in clear and elevated language. In that sense, I suppose my message was modulated. Nonetheless, I hope you understand that when statements along the lines of "fourteen people voted a particular way for a dumb reason" are made, they are likely to be met with responses which might not be anywhere as civil as mine were. I feel, as I did then, that your reasoning was faulty, your post was made without reference to fact, and that your proposal to cancel a fair and compliant STUFF vote was in poor judgement of what's best for the wiki. That's why I attempted to explain the likeliest reasong for these voters' rejection of the proposed Fun Fact. Also, your second post seemed to ignore points I had made in my initial reply, simply reinforcing your message that the fourteen voters were obviously not acting in good faith, even after I showed how I felt they were.

:Now, while I intended to express my feelings of exasperation and insult, I never intended to express arrogance or to offend, and if my post did elicit those reactions, I am of course sorry. But please realize that all the users here are humans, and humans are prone to emotion and are apt to reply with those emotions undivorced from their message when they feel provoked. I believe that most of the time I am capable of responding to users with absolute modulation, and while I regret this was not one of those times, I still stand behind the statements I made in that talk. Unfortunately, there seems to be no common ground on this issue, so I ask that we leave it and continue our best efforts at civil cooperation in future encounters, so as to put this behind us. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:44, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

::Hey, I'm not saying that you didn't have a right to be insulted or, pardon my French here, pissed off at what I said. I do think that you did, in your response, were showing less of that and showing more of the arrogance and offensiveness that you mention. I do appreciate that you acknowledged that, and even though I also stand by most of what I said (except for the false accusation that you were one of the voters), I accept your apology. Hopefully there will be no more problems in the future. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 19:15, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

:::ISlayedTheKerrek, after reviewing both your and Qermaq's posts, I really don't know why ''you'' were offended by ''anything'' that Qermaq said. When it comes to "arrogance and offensiveness", you are the clear winner. I'm saying this because you just re-iterated your attack on Qermaq and re-confirmed that you stand by what you said earlier. I'm not impressed. To begin with, accusing STUFF voters (including myself) of making bad faith votes is a serious allegation, and I demand a retraction and an apology. Secondly, I wholeheartedly support Qermaq's last post. Please read it again, it is an excellent example of how to cooperate at this wiki instead fighting each other. You can and you should learn a lot from him.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:46, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

:Loafing, I read what he said, several times in fact. I did NOT reiterate my so-called "attack" (which was not an attack...if I was going to attack him I would have been a LOT more abusive than I might have been), all I said was that I do stand by most of what I said. I'm sorry if you were offended by anything I said, but I am not retracting what I said. I still believe coincidence and intent don't really have much to do with anything involved in the fun fact, just whether or not the fact was notable enough for inclusion. I'm sure none of us will say that it was the intent of the artists to make the stains look like a smiley face. What matters in the end is whether or not it's notable enough and not a stretch. Maybe "bad faith" was a little overzealous of me, and I do apologize for that, but I can disagree with the way the vote went, and I still do feel that way, even though I've withdrawn my challenge to said fun fact. I'm not going to suddenly change my opinions because you demand it. I already apologized for falsely accusing Qermaq of voting against the fact when in fact he didn't. I apologized for causing the trouble, and made the apology in good faith. I thought everything was settled and a truce existed, but apparently you don't believe so. You're making it seem like I go out on a regular basis to cause trouble on this wiki, and that couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, in the past I have done a few things that I probably shouldn't have, but most of the time I try and stay away from things like that. I understand you're a sysop, Loafing, and probably once you read that I didn't retract what I said that you're probably going to take away my editing privileges for an extended period of time. But if you are going to do that, know this: I don't go out of my way to cause trouble with votes (I may not like the way things go on certain ones, such as this, the "Seb" fact from [[mile]] and the little orphan Annie or Oliver one from whatever it was from...it escapes me that the exact moment, but this was my first time actually standing up and contesting it), I've been cooperative over my time here with nearly everything I've done, and even though I have had some minor spats and disagreements at times with some other members (which I have admittedly been wrong on several occasions), I respect everyone here and what is done here, and don't think that I should be labeled as uncooperative by anyone. In the future, I can say that I won't be as aggressive with the contesting as I was here (and I reiterate again that I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time with this whole bit), and that I will continue to be as cooperative as I have been in the past. But I do believe that it is my right to disagree with the way something goes, as I do in this case, and I can't retract what I said, outside of the words "bad faith", because that would imply that I agree, and I don't. If you still want to punish me, then so be it. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 05:12, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

== It's been a while ==

Regarding that thing I said about the opening credits for big toons, the reason I wanted to know was because that person drove away votes for "Where Credit Was Due" for an illegitimate reason. Also, he was dead wrong about the [[DNA Evidence|next big toon]] including opening credits. I also want to note that this is a very different case from "Evident STUFF" because looking old was the only 2007 email w/out DNA Evidence for 4 months, while SB is in jail is/was the last Big Toon with opening credits for '''3 years.''' I also want to know if that person thought I was talking about a different toon or if there actually is a chance of them coming back by the end of the decade. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 17:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
:Dude, I really think it's time to give this a rest. All anyone said on that stuff item was that there ''could'' be more eventually. At any rate, this item was declined 17 to 1. I really doubt all those people were driven away because someone wrote that there could be more toons (I suspect it has more to do with the argument "If it were the last toon ever that credited TBC and Missy, then maybe it would be notable, but Halloween '05 (which came later) gets that distinction to date.") In any case, I think the result of this vote is quite clear and that the community at large doesn't feel this is worth noting. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, who's checkin' emails with his pants, who's checkin' emails with his pants! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Ancient Ruins?</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Do you know whether or not there are ancient ruins 
buried deep under Strong Badia? 
Thanks, 
Paul M. Pasquella
</blockquote>
''{reads "Pasquella" as "Pathquaya"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Pauly Pasqually, I know for sure there's a lotta ''something'' buried deep under Strong Badia. Mainly cause I rent out the dirt to unsavory characters in need of a place to stash, ditch, or make disappear, the evidence of their choice. ''{clears screen}'' I never really thought that there might be ancient ruins down there, though. I think this calls for America's coolest children's game show consolation prize: the metal detector! ''{music starts playing}''

''{Cut to a blackboard with "SLOP! MESS! QUIZ!" written on it}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And our stupid contestants will receive the Taranchula brand Black Metal Detec-tor! ''{While he speaks, [[Taranchula]]'s logo and the metal detector appear, followed by Videlectrix Kidx logo.}'' From Videlectrix Kidx..sx!

''{Picture of Schenkel McDoo giving an "OK" sign moves in}''

'''SCHENKEL MCDOO:''' ''{voice}'' Yah, guys, maybe find some coin! ''{words appear as he speaks}''

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Strong Bad and the Cheat are standing in a large, shallow depression in the dirt with a shovel nearby. The Cheat is wearing a pith helmet. Strong Bad is using the Taranchula metal detector.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{questioning The Cheat noises}''

''{Close up on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I already told you, man! Where there's ruins, there's riches! And booby-traps we can steal ideas from!

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, saluting}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, let's do thiiiiiiiiiis! ''{ends on a high pitch}''

''{Strong Bad switches on metal detector and moves it around. The metal detector makes heavy metal beats in changing frequency}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, we're getting warm! ''{takes a step forward, the metal detector starts playing a guitar solo}'' We've got something, The Cheat!

''{He steps back and The Cheat sweeps the ground with a small brush. A small red object appears in the dirt.}''

''{Close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping metal detector}'' It looks like the top of an enormous riches-filled structure! And wait, there's an inscription! ''{leans forward, reading}'' "Col...donesdry..." Must be the name of an ancient civilization!

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Sad in front of the fence}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{raising finger}'' Uh, me again! I think that's just the cap of a bottle of ''{cut to bottle cap in the dirt}'' Cold Ones Dry. You could probably just pick it up.

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What, are you crazy? I'm not touching that thing! It's booby trapped! It'll shoot a bunch of poison-tipped witch doctors at me!

''{Close up of Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Riiiiiight. Or, it's just a bottle cap, and you're crazier than ever.

''{Close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You may be half right, kid. ''{picks up metal detector}'' Now, help me find some dang riches. ''{cut to wide shot. Strong Bad starts moving the metal detector over the dirt again. The detector makes heavy metal beat in changing frequency.}'' Uh...uh... ''{metal detector plays guitar solo}'' Whoa! ''{Strong Bad drops to the ground}'' Check out this futuristic sheet of paper!

''{Close up of Strong Bad unfolding a sheet of metal foil with a picture of a smiling alien head with arms and legs and the caption "BABBY ALIEN"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. My. Geez. I knew it! Strong Badia was originally colonized by extra-terrestrials! ''{cut to close up of Strong Bad}'' That explains why I'm so brilliant! And why all beings look the same except for slight differences in our foreheads!

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, that's just a piece of tin foil with a picture Strong Mad drew of you when you were little. ''{close up of Strong Sad}'' There's even a petrified chicken nugget in there that he left you. ''{As he talks, shot of Strong Bad pulling said nugget out of a fold in the foil's edge}''

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping nugget}'' Quit ruining my ruins, Jurassic Dork! This clearly says "Babby Alien". ''{close up}'' Which is probably the name of my true mother, who left me here as a young larva hundreds of years ago, until someone, I'm guessing an elderly oatmeal enthusiast, unwittingly disturbed my cocoon. ''{As he talks, the scene is described in a thought bubble by Strong Mad-style drawings}'' Oh, Babs! Why did you leave me stranded here?

''{Cut to shot of Bubs standing to the side}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, sorry about that, Strong Bad. Was I supposed to come earlier?

''{Cut to wide shot of Bubs and Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No, I said "Babs". ''"Babs".''

'''BUBS:''' Bubs, Babs, whatever. I take what I can get.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whahn?

''{Close up of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Anyways, I'm here for my weekly, ''Ahem'', "delivery". ''{indicates barrels of "inTOXICatingly good WASTE" beside him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah, just bury it wherever. ''{cut to close up}'' But if you uncover any ruins, or hot aliens, or riches, they're mine, OK?

''{Cut to wide shot of Bubs and Strong Bad}''

'''BUBS:''' Uh, what about fellas named Rich?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha-what? No, I don't know anyone named Rich.

''{Close up of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' OK, good. ''{extreme close-up, with intensity}'' And he can stay where he is!

''{Wide shot}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, is there anyway I can unhear the last few sentences? ''{close up}'' Or years of my life?

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, no, Pascual Perez, there are no ancient ruins under Strong Badia. Or, at least, not one foot under Strong Badia. Digging is hard, man! Did you ever try to dig a hole? It's not all wipes and montages like in the movies. It takes forever! But who knows what wonders lie, say, one-and-a-half feet beneath Strong Badia? Or, dare I say it, a few feet beneath Strong Badia. Why it staggers the bad imagination.

''{An illustration of what might be a few feet under Strong Badia moves onscreen. After a moment, the [[New Paper]] comes down}''

== About "japanese cartoon"... ==

*Hi, Jay. I wanted to make a comment about the NES endings easter egg, particularly the Metroid ending, and it didn't seem appropriate to bring it up in the cartoon discussion (plus it wouldn't make sense to anyone besides us). Since you don't have a listed e-mail, I'll bring it up here. The screen that it shows, "You Fulfiled Your Mission", et. al., either features a Samus Aran in her normal suit or, if you enter a certain code (the famed JUSTIN BAILEY ------ ------ code, for example), a suitless Samus, as it shows in this instance. VGMuseum shows both variants as an animated gif. Both variants do not show in the same ending, you either get the normal variant or the suitless variant if you put in a suitable code. It is the following screen which is then based upon time, and that screen does not feature any sort of text. When the game is completed under 3 hours, that screen also shows Samus in a red suit...whereas if Samus is suitless, she will always be seen in a green suit on the first screen. Anyway, I just felt like mentioning it. By the time you read this, I will probably have edited the page again and I wanted to explain the reasoning behind it instead of it potentially resulting in a siutation where we are constantly changing each others' edits. Otherwise...keep up the good work with editing the wiki and I'll do likewise. -- [[User:Frickinsellout|Frickinsellout]] 16:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

P.S. You are free to make this entry [[DELETED]] shortly after you read this, since it may not be the sort of thing necessarily to have in your archives. :)

==CGNU fight song==

:I don't think that's necessary. I was trying to illustrate a point; a point I feel has been made and I'd just as soon delete what I already have if there are no objections.

== Spelling of "Gip" ==

Hi,

Please see http://www.answers.com/topic/gyp (and to be fair also see http://www.answers.com/topic/gip)

Will you allow my edit of [[theme song]] to stick now?

Thanks [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

: I see your comment in the themesong page. Why don't you note that what SB typed is a mis-spelling? Other transcripts do that. "Gyp" is a slur, related to Gypsies' reputation as thieves. That's why "gyp" is the correct spelling. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::You do realise that the first link you gave [http://www.answers.com/topic/gyp] says that it's also spelled "gipped"?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Sure. But the second [http://www.answers.com/topic/gip] doesn't say anything about it (this meaning). "Gip" is obviously not considered a canonical spelling of this particular term by the American Heritage Dictionary, but variant instead. Why don't we add it to the transcript with the note about SB's variant spelling? [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:::: That first link you gave is GIP in all caps. Did you see this article [http://www.answers.com/topic/gip-1]? Variants are not misspellings, and are not really important to note. [[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 01:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::: It is also questionable that "gyp" really is a slur (see the [[Wiktionary:Gyp|Wiktionary]], though as we discovered earlier today, "gip" is actually not present there for some reason.) We had this discussion earlier today. At any rate, '''Strong Bad actually types the word "gipped"''', and according to our [[HRWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]], what Strong Bad types is what we type, whether misspelled, nonsensical, or contrary to what he actually says (though in that last case, we also note what he actually says.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:::: That's why I didn't put the slur under "Fun Facts" - I know lots of people would howl about it. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== Comedy Stylings ==

Re: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&curid=26453&diff=354373&oldid=354371 this] - what's abnormal about the construction "comedy stylings"? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
: It's certainly not something I hear on anything remotely resembling a normal basis. And it certainly sounds more awkward than "headbrow style" (given what it's representing; a hair style) and "With the e-mail style, get it over with!", both of which are currently on the "Style" page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::Hmm. I was under the impression that the page was not for citing usage of "style" when it's a common phrase in American English. Not that it's necessarily authoritative, a [http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=%22headbrow+style%22&word2=%22comedy+stylings%22 GoogleFight] between the examples we've cited proves interesting. Fact is, there's a LOT of examples of this phrase's usage. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:12, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::: That's got nothing to do with the odd usage of "stylings" and more to do with the usage of the word "headbrow". Like I said before, it represents a hair style. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:58, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

You're the same age as me, Jay. Were you born in [[Wikipedia:1982|1982]]? That's the year I was born. Is your real name Michaell Jay Jiminez? I remember a Michaell Jiminez from school. —[[User:Brian Barbera|Brian Barbera]] 00:08, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
: Yes, I was born in 1982, but, no, my name isn't Michael which whatever. My real name can be found via information on my user page, but it's not ON my user page. And that's all I'm saying about that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

== My revert ==

Hey, Jay, just wanted to let you know I've been talking to Lapper on IRC and he is almost done with the whole transcript (he's apparently not doing it in installments like I do, but getting it all done at once). That's why I reverted back to the inprogress tag. Just wanted to clarify. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

:Jay only said that he's not the only one to have no 20X6 counterpart.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
: '''EDIT CONFLICT'D!!''' ''(Ow! My response! But I'm saying it anyway.)'' You misunderstood. My reasoning was this:
:# If you say "Homsar is the only main character without an Old-Timey counterpart", without mentioning 20X6, then the statement is true.
:# If you say "Homsar is the only main character without a 20X6 counterpart", without mentioning Old-Timey, then the statement is false (Bubs, Strong Mad, Strong Sad, The King of Town, and The Poopsmith also have no 20X6 counterparts, and the counterparts of Marzipan and The Cheat have yet to actually ''do'' anything.

== In Regards to SB's mouth in Record Book ==

Even in the old animations, whenever SB makes an o sound, including the ou sound, his mouth turns round. It did when he said round, which has the same vowel sound as mouth. Yet when he said mouth in the email, his mouth did not turn round as it was supposed to. This is especially noteworthy as he was contesting his mouth being rectangular all the time when the goof was made.

::<strike>TBC got a cease and desist from the makers of the real Thnikkaman game, and so we had to temporarily shut the page down. It'll be rereleased under the name "Who said what now?" soon.</strike> Um, I dunno. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 17:34, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
:::What's funny is that I was having a thought very similar to that. ;) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:38, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
It's really frustrating that you're trying to get around the "This is real" message. All it does is send me more database errors. The message seems completely self-explanatory to me: "There is an error accessing the The Thnikkaman page. The page will be unavailable until the error can be resolved. Thanks for your patience." In other words, we're aware of the problem, we've taken steps to fix it, so keep your pants on until we do and stop messing around in the system. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:02, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
:Gee, I'm sorry that I saw a problem with incredibly limited info and, as a sysop, felt the need to find out what I could and at least make an attempt at fixing it. I won't do it again. 9_9 --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:50, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
::Are you serious? You know better than that. You got the pretty error message telling everyone to be patient. When you went around the error, you got a more severe database error. Several times. Instead of posting on the wiki about a temporary problem, you should log on to IRC and ask someone whether we're aware of it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:03, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
You think you're in love like it's a real sure thing, but every time you fall you get your ass in a sling. You used to be strong, but now it's "ooh baby please" 'cause falling in love is so hard on Jay. --[[User:School of Rock|Dewey Finn]] 17:22, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
