Wiki grrl: Trying out my sig

== Editing Tips ==

:To make a subpage, move the page to User:Wiki grrl/example
::::To indent, type in colons. Each colon indents each line another indent.
: Each line here
:: is indented
::: one more time than
:::: the line before it.

:::::To sign your name on talk pages, type four tildes, like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, and the system will automatically put in your name and a timestamp, like this: Wiki grrl 10:17, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

|}

== Signing, part 2 ==

Hey there. I noticed something odd when you signed your name. The system should have made a link to your user page, but it didn't. In your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]], next to Nickname where it says "Raw signatures (without automatic link)", that checkbox needs to be '''unchecked'''. It should only be checked if you have a custom signature (which you currently do not). Cheers! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 11:35, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Trying a new sig.......[[User:Wiki grrl|User:Wiki grrl/sig]]

:For your sig to work, you need to put <code><nowiki>{{User:Wiki grrl/sig}}</nowiki></code> in your preferences under "Nickname", and then check that box that I told you to uncheck above. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

== Essay ==

Okay, Wiki grrl. Your essay is now located at [[User:Wiki grrl/Homestar vs. Homsar]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:13, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

==Personal Images==

Hi wikigrrl, I'm just popping in to let you know that each user is only allowed two personal images, and one small personal image within their sig. You curently have three large personal images. Please let me know which one you would like to mark as abandoned. [[:Image:--Homsar.jpg|This one]] isn't linked to from anywhere (and thus could be marked as abandoned if you wish), while [[:Image:Homsar2.jpeg|this one]] could possibly be replaced by one of the many other Homsar images already on the wiki. Any of the following images that ''are not'' marked as abandoned would not count towards your personal image limit, if you chose one of them. Some of the Homsar images availible include [[:Image:homsar evolution current.png|this one]], [[:Image:oldhomsar.png|this one]], [[:Image:sbemail2.PNG|this one]], [[:Image:upsidedown homsar.PNG|this one]], [[:Image:180px-Strong Bad Email 134.png|this one]] [[:Image:Homsar Old timey bandit.PNG|this one]] or [[:Image:homsar2.gif|this one]]. Think about it, and let me know what you decide. Thanks, {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 15:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

== Hey, wait a minute! ==

This is Brightstar Shiner. I am best friend of Wiki Grrl and go to the same school as her. I know that yesterday she was on the HrWiki at the public library and she had to get off because the librarian told her to. She left her notebook that had "Top Flight" and "The Chub" on the front of it at the spot by accident. That was in the vandalized versions of the pages, remember? Someone immediately got on the same computer 5 minutes later and saw the front of the notebook. Please don't think she's the troll even if she said she was. I don't see it here, but Wiki Grrl told me that she said she was the troll just to get It's Dot Com off her back. Please believe me. It was a bad move on her part! -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 20:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
:You know, I have been nothing but supportive of Wiki grrl since she joined, giving her technical advice and arguing for her right to move her essay into her user space. I can't imagine why she would make up a story just to get me "off her back" if she knew she was innocent. Keep in mind that not only did I ''not'' immediately name her as the vandal, but I also told her that if she offered even the feeblest of explanations that I would believe her. I've been trying to encourage what I thought was potential, but now you're telling me that either she lied to me yesterday or you're lying to me now. I, like most people, don't like being lied to. I can confirm that the IP resolves to a library. If it was someone else who did it, then why not say so? If, on the other hand, she really did do it, then why are you posting now? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
::I'm sorry. I know you've been very helpful to her and me and a bunch of other people. When you said that only the feeblest of explanations would be enough, that didn't sound truthful, since when most people say something like that, it means "I'm still not gonna believe you no matter what you say". She is not the troll. This is turning out to be me embarrassing myself again because Wiki Grrl DID make up a story, she IS innocent, and she WAS not thinking at the time. Everybody makes mistakes and please forget this ever happened. I've had a bad enough day already. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 01:04, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Wiki grrl: leaving a note

{{User:Thunderbird L17/talkarchives}}


== Eclectricity Question ==

I have an electricity question, TBird. I know you can't put LEDs in series, but can you do bulbs? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 04:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:Nevermind. Built the circuit. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 02:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== Flashforward ==
Hey T-Bird, did you make the 2/28 Flashforward interview? 'Cause that'd make it easier to transcribe. {{User:LePorello/sig}} 01:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:According to the recently-updated [[Talk:Flashforward_2006_Seattle_-_28_Feb_2006|talk page]], he obtained a press pass in the wiki's behalf. How ''totally cool'' is that? He really isn't under any obligation to transcribe TBC's speech. I'm sure he'll let us know if it's possible. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 05:25, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::Well I really don't want the page to turn out like [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|other similar pages]], so I'm gonna make a totally rad and readable writeup of the event [[Flashforward_2006_Seattle_-_28_Feb_2006|here]]. It may take a while, but it's coming. After all, my press pass was on ''behalf'' of the wiki, so I'm somewhat obligated to report and share the experiance with aforementioned wiki. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== Not you ==

Sorry 'bout that. I just didn't want anyone impersonating you. I'd hate it if someone was impersonating ''me''. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 02:59, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

:Haha, no problem. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:36, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

== Stinkoman Level ==
Here's the code to that level you wanted. Follow the instructions on [[HRFWiki:Stinkoman 20X6|this page]] to play it. Your mock-up isn't too good, so you'll need to tell me any inconsistancies that you find. I kind of want to get it as close to the original as possible. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 20:21, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

:Just in case you missed it, a third (hopefully final) version of that small custom level is completed and on display on Super Sam's fanstuff talk page. I'd like your feedback on it. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:47, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

==Help again==
I have been blocked again, to see my comment go [[User:BazookaJoe|here]].--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 16:52, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

== Please help! ==

Please block Homestar Swimmer when you get the chance! [[User:Beat|Beat]] 16:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

:If there is an active vandal, most likely there is a sysop watching recent changes who will block him without prompting. If it continues for a few minutes, add the name to [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]]. <strike>If that doesn't work, try contacting the most recently active sysop, according to [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]]</strike>. If that fails, you could also try alerting somebody on the [[HRWiki:IRC channel|IRC]]. If even that fails, and the vandalism continues for more than 10 or 15 minutes, then likely by some bizzare happening there are no sysops here at all. Then you may leave a message on my talk page. But even then, it probably won't do any good, since by the time I log in and see it, most likely another capable sysop will already have logged in, seen the problem, and blocked them. Unless I'm visably active, leaving a message here really doesn't do much. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:56, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

::If there are no sysops that are logged in and active but not checking recent changes, it won't do much good to contact any of them. You'll just have to keep reverting until a sysop comes around. They always do eventually. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 23:00, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Good point. Yeah, for all intensive purposes, the best thing is just to revert it and wait for a sysop. Usually you don't have to wait too long. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

::::Sorry Thunderbird L17, that was my first experience with a troll. Please accept my apology. [[User:Beat|Beat]] 00:12, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::Oh no problem. Just a heads up. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:07, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

== Protected subpages ==
I'm not entirely enthusiastic about your protected subpages. I think that it's unfair to normal users.
Just my thoughts. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 18:07, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

:Seriously, I thought I already gave the final word on this topic at [[HRWiki talk:Protected page#Wrong protection]]. There is no need to bring it up again here on Thunderbird's talk page. Please leave him alone. Thanks. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:41, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
::Oh, didn't know that. Sorry, Thunderbird. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:52, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

== Just wondering... ==

Hey T-bird. I thought that I might ask you a question. I've seen these a couple times, and what is User:Usernamehere/monobook.css? I noticed a couple users had a page for it, and I wanted to know what it was for. Thanks a bunch! {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 23:09, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

:It changes your specific Wiki display options. You can do all sorts of things with it, FireBird even made his sysop "rollback" button flash. I really don't know much about HOW to make stuff happen though, best I can do is see what users do and copy them. I haven't really gotten around to personalizing them at all much, but I probably will someday. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:12, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

::Thanks. Sounds confuzzling. {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 23:14, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

:::It is. As another example, it seems as though Tampo's trying to make his new messages bar appear blue. Like I said, customization that effects only the user that implements it. One more thing I forgot to mention, I'm pretty sure that both of those kind of pages on my subpage list can't be edited by fellow users, only the user it belongs to. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:18, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

== Sorry if i ask, but i need your help again ==

Hey there thunderbird, how are you, i've been doing great. listen i need to ask you a favour. i just added another single userbox on my list but it doesn't appear on my user page, can you help, please?

also, i've also been adding userboxes on my user page in Wikipedia, but there seriously all over the place, can you help?

see you around. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pece_Kocovski

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 08:33, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

:I fixed your userboxes on Wikipedia; you may want them in a different layout than the tower I put them in (like what I have on my userpage there), but at least now they aren't all over the place. {{User:Granola/sig}} 08:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Why thank you Granola, for fixing my user page, even if you didn't ask. i sent you a thank you note on your wiki user page. how do you pronounce your wiki user name? thanks again [[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 09:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
:Your welcome. It's pronounced "yell-tin-zik." (I answered it there, but I'm also answering it here, in case HRWikians also want to know...perhaps I should put that on my userpage(s), it occurs to me that no one would have any way of knowing...) {{User:Granola/sig}} 09:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

::And as for your userboxes not appearing on your userpage, it was probably because you didn't purge the cashe. When you add a userbox, if you want it to appear right away, go to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Nikolce_Kocovski&action=purge this link], and then it should appear. Feel free to copy this link and put it somewhere. You can also make this link by pressing edit on your userpage, then replacing "edit" in the url with "purge", and pressing enter. It's the same thing. Hope that helps! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 15:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

==Thanks==
Thanks for reverting [[User:The thing|The thing's]] edit. {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}}

:No problem. Seemed like that was a "user edits only" section. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:03, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

== typo ==

In the "roast duck" fact thing the word "then" should be replaced with "than". - [[User:Uglinessman|Uglinessman]] 09:51, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
:Dang, you're right. And mixing those two up is a pet peeve of mine... Thanks! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

==Image thingy==
[[Image:RebootTurbo.PNG|115px|thumb|left|<tt>[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird|Thunderbird]][[Special:Contributions/Thunderbird L17|⇔]]</tt>]]
I looked in Firefox and Opera, it looked good there now. How's it to you? ''{image deleted}'' {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:06, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

:It looks a bit small. I suppose that an image wouldn't really line up with the text, since it would depend on your screen resolution and other things, correct? If you'll look on my userpage, the thumb image with the caption "{{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}}"; the arrows from that look pretty close to the same as the arrow from your image. The arrows from my sig are around twice the size, bolder and squarer. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:19, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
:'''EDIT:''' Hang on one sec, I'll upload a screenshot. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:21, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
::'''EDIT EDITED:''' Here's the screenshot:
[[Image:TBird Sig Screenshot.PNG]]
:::Hmm. '''<tt>''{image deleted}''Thunderbird''{image deleted}''</tt>''' It won't underline either... Oh well. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:26, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Thanks for trying though! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:28, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

:Here's what I see, BTW.

''{image removed}''

::Yeah, I figured something like that. Oh well, back to the drawing board... {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Incidentally, are you guys done with those pictures, or do they need to be marked as personal images? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:11, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

==The Stairs==

Thunderbird, I am so, so sorry about the rating and stairs pages.
I am known on the bswiki to be a great editor and troll lookout.
I have never vandalized any wiki before. (Unless you count what I just did, but I thought you would be ok with that.) Anyway, I am great at protecting wikis, so could you give me a chance at being an admin to protect the greatest wiki I have ever known?--[[User:Bonusstagefreak|Bonusstagefreak]] 16:55, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

:Don't worry about it. When I first came here I was unsure of the rules for any wiki, and got myself blocked for a day. ;) I hope you turn out to be a great contributor. We don't get new sysops very often, usually less than 10 a year. Becoming a sysop is an admirable goal to work towards, and some general guidelines are written out in the [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]]. We don't get new sysops very often, and being only a sysop, I don't have the power to promote users. I hope that you turn out to be a great user here though, let me know if you have any other questions. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:20, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I can't seem to upload any images! It's driving me insane!--[[User:Bonusstagefreak|Bonusstagefreak]] 22:34, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

See [[HRWiki:Personal images|here]] for the regulations on personal images. To upload an image, there's an option on the sidebar, namely [[Special:Upload|this one]]. Generally use PNG images. If you're still having trouble, let me know. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I know, but whenever I give it the picture and click on "Upload File", It says that the file is corrupted. 
What should I do? I've tried uploading on at least
6 wikis, but everytime it gives me the same thing.--[[User:Bonusstagefreak|Bonusstagefreak/sig]] 22:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

:Then most likely the file is corrupted, and it shouldn't be uploaded. It could have a script or virus hidden in it, or it could be the wrong MIME type. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

== [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=274817#Entry_Two Brilliant] ==
I have frankly never seen something so funny. I don't think I have ever laughed harder in my life. You have a wonderful sense of humor, and I hope you pull a stunt like this again. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 01:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks. That happened the night before Flashforward, after I had left IRC to get an early night in bed before the big day. I noticed on recent changes Dot com and Tom were doing some kind of username debugging. So instead of going to bed I lurked for a while, after every test username he created, I would add another "journal entry" to corrispond to it. Nice to know my work is appreciated. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:22, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I know I've been annoying but can you answer this question on [[User talk:DBK|DBK's talk page]]? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 03:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

:Oh I don't mind answering questions ;) I'll see what I can do. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== Heh ==

Oh, TBird, I thought you might be interested in [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page_7&curid=1298&diff=286110&oldid=286067 this edit]. I think you may have worked on that project for too long; you're evidently forgetting your Fun Fact categories. :-) {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:28, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

:Hahahaha. Oh man, you're right. Bit of a Freudian slip. :) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 14:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== help delete page ==

Hello Thunderbird,
I uploaded a file, but it another version of it already exists. Could you please delete the file that I just uploaded?
I tried to delete it myself, but I wasn't able to do it. If you wish to help, the file is at "http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Image:headbadquote.ogg."
Thanks,
Jecowa
:I did it for you. In the future, you can add this template to a page: <nowiki>{{delete|Reason for deletion}}</nowiki> if you need something deleted. Hope that helps! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}}

== Spanish ==

:::I hope I'm not butting in here, but The thing, this is kind of a strange idea. Not only do you not speak Spanish fluently, or perhaps even enough to translate, but Altavista Babelfish is a very unreliable public translator. Can you provide some insight as to what you hope to accomplish with this? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

== Crisis ==

I'm starting to have a beginnig-hrwiki crisis. Meaning I feel like I have nothing to do on the wiki and everything is allready done. {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 03:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Thunderbird. Was just going to remark that I have the same exact camera model as you. May I ask if you used ''all three diamonds'' when you took [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Image:Flashforward_TBC.JPG this pic]? I was wondering what other users of that camera preferred to use. And while I'm here, I'd like to ask if you've received a package from me yet. And would it be OK to congratulate a [[User:E.L. Cool|certain someone]] on his recent bundle of ''keychains and more'' from you? Thanks a bunch. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 17:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

:Hey man, long time no see! The camera is my parent's, it's around 4 years old, and I rarely use it. I really didn't know much about it, now that you mention the diamond thing, I seem to recall something about it, more diamonds means better quality, or something, right? As for how many I used, I didn't even think to change it or anything, so it really just depends on what the default is. I haven't recieved your package yet, but I'm looking forward to it. And in case you didn't realize, the ''and more'' is the reason why I requested the replacements for myself. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, more diamonds means improved resolution and quality. I just thought I'd ask since it's such an old camera and all— older than the First generation iPod, in fact. I really hope you'll receive the package soon, since it's been a while now. It must due to the geographical distance between us. And yeah, I realized the reason for you needing replacements. =) {{User:The Paper/sig}} 15:44, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

== Tablage ==

Hey, you commented on how [[Songs]] might benefit from tables. I agree with you, but haven't ever done that before. Can you point me to examples of tables I can kinda go by to make that happen? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:43, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

:[[Floppy Disk Container]] is one. Here's a table you can copy if you wish:

(The stuff at the top is technical stuff, but if you really want to be creative with your table try changing it around a bit. obviously "#eeeeee" means color, and most of those little one digit numbers mean how thick most of the table lines are)
<pre>
{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Something !! Another Thing !! As Many Things As You Want !! Let's try four this time.
|- id="id_tags_are_optional_but_sometimes_useful"
| Then you can stick something here, maybe an image or whatever. || See the two vertical line break things? Stick them there to seperate the column. || just remember that however many of the breaks you make || Are the same number as the double ! breaks you make first to name the columns.
|- id="id_tags_are_just_used_to_link_to_a_specific_part_of_the_table"
| Remember that after your four (or however many columns you chose), press enter, add a vertical line break, and then a dash, then go enter again. || When starting a new line for your table, you have to start it with a ''single'' vertical line as well, like the single ! you put first when naming your columns to begin with. || || You can even make sections blank, but you still need the right number of double line breaks.
|- id="and_as_a_technical_point_ids_can_not_start_with_a_number"
| <-- Don't forget that line to start your column. || <-- Or that there's the same number of those sets of breaks as there are title columns, in this case four. || [[Image:RebootTurbo.PNG|150px|An Image in a table can't be a thumb or anything]] || Finish off your table with a new line, then...
|} 
</pre>

That all makes...

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"

|- id="id_tags_are_optional_but_sometimes_useful"

|} 

I hope that helps! There's lots of other technical stuff you can do as well, such as making a table only a certain width, lots of color variations, etc, but if you want a basic table, that's the layout. Once you start a table, users are bound to come over and tweak it a bit later. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:48, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

== Contents Question==
Is it possible to get a contents for your user page? I see that you got one in this user talk but when I went to see what you put in to get one of em the only thing I saw seperating the "⇔Thunversations⇔" from this part of the conversation page was a in caps message about not editing above this line or haveing to face the rath of some undetermined fate. So I look all over everywhere I can't find anything in there that let's you have a contents box though I did realize that the URL is different. Am I overlooking something, Is the Box supplied when you get a long enough page, Are some pages just equiped with this from the begining? When I held my mouse over the hide / show button it reads "javascript:toggleToc()" and I know what javascript is. Whenever i go to edit something I look at where the contents are and... it pulls a Houdini.... upon hiting the "Show preview" thing It includes this in the contents. If you don't mind clearing this up for my that would be appriciated.

:The top line regarding Thundery rath and all that, is just to protect my Talk archives navigation template, so you can go from month to month of old conversations. The reason my userpage does not have a table of contents, is simple. If you look at the very bottom of the code (by clicking "edit" but not saving it) I put at the bottom a little <nowiki>"__NOTOC__"</nowiki>. What that does, is prevents a table of contents from appearing. "Don't ask me why I did it... Because I already forgot." Now whether they appear or not, is somewhere under your personal preferences, the same place you set your sig, etc. You choose in your personal settings to display Tables of Contents or not. If you choose to show them, then once a page gets more than three headers (A header is defined by a little edit tag so you can edit the sub section), then it will display a table of contents for you. Putting <nowiki>"__TOC__", "__NOTOC__" or "__FORCETOC__"</nowiki> on a page will override your preferences. The first one will make the TOC appear after a page has three headings (regardless of what you have selected in your preferences), the second one will not allow the TOC to appear, and the third one will cause a TOC to appear on the page even when there's less than three headings. Some of these are used on pages around the wiki, for instance you'll notice [[H*R.com updates 2005|The updates pages]] shouldn't have tables of contents whether it's selected under preferences for you or not. Since that page has so many headings, a TOC would be very long, therefore we use <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki>. But whether they appear or not, they're automatically generated, you won't see a code for them or anything. I hope that answers your question Yoshi, let me know if you have any others. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:45, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

::To clarify: normally a page will automatically get a TOC just before the first heading if there are ''more than 3'' headings on the page (provided it's turned on in [[Special:Preferences|your prefs]]). <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code> forces there to be no TOC, <code><nowiki>__FORCETOC__</nowiki></code> forces there to be a TOC, and <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code> forces there to be a TOC ''and'' moves the TOC to where you wrote <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code> (instead of the normal place, between the opening text and the first heading). This lets you do fancy things, like <code><nowiki><div style="float:right">__TOC__</div></nowiki></code> to get a floating TOC (like on my talk page). On a tangent, is a similar tag, <code><nowiki>__NOEDITSECTION__</nowiki></code>, which stops the [edit] links from appearing next to the headers. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:56, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I noticed NYU Talk on your unfinished jobs. I have the DVD of it as was planning on doing it. You want to do it together? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 21:57, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been planning on getting around to it, but I'm still gonna be pretty busy for the next few days. What I was planning, was instead of trying to transcribe the whole thing, summarize it in the same fashion as the Flashforward page. Not only is that easier to write, as you can listen to a minute of it and then summarize without going over it repeatedly, but I find it's also an easier read than a terribly long mega-page. If you want to try and get some done in that way, go ahead. I'll also try and get it done sometime later, and I'm sure various users would go over what you write and fix any spelling or grammatical errors. That's what they did for me. :) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:54, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Can't you just be a ''bit'' nicer? I think more people would like you then.
Please; I'm not trolling - although I did blank your talk page. But that was so you would see this easier.

:::::::::::::::Both are gone but the main reason I want to be a sysop is so I can help the wiki as much a possible. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 17:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::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. Until then, keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:45, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

(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.

== 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)

== 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 ==

== 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)

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)

== 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)

== 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)

::::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.

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

:::::::::::::The number is so small because the counter was reset to zero when this page was moved back incorrectly from a vandal.

By the way, as far as I know, I've never messed with anything that would affect those numbers.

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)

==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)

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.

:::::::::::::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)
::::When I vandalized I thought you were suppose to vandalize there. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 23:12, 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. (That is the idea of a wiki, you know.) {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 00:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

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.

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)

::::In the 1st paragraph, there's the Listen link (after the musical example) - there's a (listen (help·info)) thingy. The "Help" goes to instructions on how to get your player to play oggs. I mean, I was stymied by them until I was researchiong (on that page, actually) and stumbled upon that.

::::Of course, I don't know enough about Wiki to know a) if this can be done on our system, 2) how to do it even if it can be done, and III) if this sort of a thing would require "discussion" "someplace". SO that's why I ask you, Mr. S-smart. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

::::::It's that easy, eh? :\ Well, it'd take me a few days to figure all that out! (I spent a good part of today trying, haven't gotten far. Will keep trying.)

== Talk page rate ==
These days, I've been trying to make more main namespace contribs and less user talk page contribs. The question is, has my diet (sorta) done any good for me? Check my contribs. On a rate of 1 to 10, how much would you say I've improved? — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 04:40, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
:Er, maybe we should give it a little more time before making a 1 to 10 rating. I say that because in the last three days, you have made more user edits than and ''twice'' as many user talk edits as all your main, main talk, HRWiki, and HRWiki talk edits ''combined'' (not counting sandbox). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

== Blocking durations ==

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)

== New sysops ==

Was there a sysop nomination? If so, I'm surprised that Lapper wasn't one. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:34, 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. I can name a half dozen other users who will someday make excellent sysops, and anyone who was not chosen this time should ''not'' read into it negatively in any way. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
::When I posted the above, I couldn't say what I can say now: We were still considering some people, and some people simply don't check their email often enough!

Hey, It's dot com, I see you having a lot of new sysops. Does that mean there won't be any new sysops for a while? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 05:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
:Yes, I believe the seven new sysops that we have just inducted are it for a while. We've always got our eyes open, though. Remember also that ''all'' users can be important users.

== 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]].

P.S. Just out of curiosity, why did you revert my edits on the HR Wiki article on wikipedia?

: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?

: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.

Please; I'm not trolling - although I did blank your talk page. But that was so you would see this easier.

:::::::: Oh, okay then. Please allow me to speak to your points: Occasionally messages must be posted that are stern because it's urgent that the message be understood.

I do try, however, never to be insulting, and as I said way back when, I do apologize if he took it that way. Also, I have nothing against young users, and I will happily give assistance to anyone who needs it (just have a look around this talk page). It should be noted that several of our exceptional users, including a sysop, are quite young, relatively speaking. Even though actual age doesn't matter, I don't see anything wrong with expecting a certain level of maturity from our users, once they've had a chance to get the hang of things.

:::::::::::::::Both are gone but the main reason I want to be a sysop is so I can help the wiki as much a possible. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 17:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::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. Until then, keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:45, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

:um....[[User: Yeltensic]] just made a rude remark on the guestbook discussion page, and you should check it out. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 14:55, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

::I am aware of it and have posted comments. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

:::good. that was just plain crude. if he pulls some stunt like that again just because [[User: Darth Katana X|Darth Katana X]] told him to, i suggest you block him. look on yeltensic's talk page if you don't know what i am talking about. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 15:06, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Well I found out about the discussion from Darth, but I didn't "pull some stunt like that" because Darth told me to, he didn't tell me to do that. So leave Darth out of it, he didn't do anything (well maybe he did, but if so it was unrelated). [[User:Yeltensic|Yeltensic]] [[User talk:Yeltensic|Save the guestbooks]] 21:21, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

== That image ==

Just so you know, the reason I restored that image for "[[It's like it was meant to be]]" is just because Homestar Coder and Abdi both expressed their support for it and I felt that the person who removed it was acting rather unilaterally. I don't mind its removal as much if there's actually someone else who agrees about removing it, though. Anyway, keep on tranglin'. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:17, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, and Thunderbird has added a different image. Maybe this one will work well? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
::I don't have a super-strong opinion that page, but the first image just didn't seem to fit, in my opinion. I did have an idea, though (the Wagon Fulla Pancakes). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:18, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I'd say the same about not having a super-strong opinion; I just wanted to see things done fairly. (I try not to be too committed to my own ideas around the wiki. I find it only leads to disappointment when your edit gets reverted or your Fun Fact gets crushingly declined in STUFF. Not to mention you get along in the community better if you just go with the flow and be ready to get REVERT'd a few times, eh?) And yeah, I saw your new idea, and I think it's hilarious. "Rondelman, you crack me up! Crack! Me! Up! That's why you're my doge!" Anydangway, talk atcha later! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:30, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

== CAPTCHA ==

I wanted to know what you did to get CAPTCHA up and running on 1.5.6. I stopped by the IRC channel & was told to ask you about it. :) On freenode, I am earthsound (registered user). Also, you can reach me at gmail.com (same user name).
Thanks!
:(He and I spoke via the chat channel, and the gist of the discussion was that I was not the author of the software, just an assistant implementor, and I directed him to the software author. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:41, 25 January 2006 (UTC))

== The ongoing saga ==
um, someone left a message on my talk page stating that it was weird that trendy totebag did not sign on while i was blocked. i know i may be wrong, but i suspect the anonymous user was, well, you know enough to figure it out. the writing, the splling....it's all the same. you probably can't match the ip addresses, but i would like it if you did. or he just didn't leave a sig, and you can check the contribs. thank you. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 21:57, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
:Um, there's really no mystery, since he was logged in when he made that edit. I have taken care of it. *sigh* — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, you must be tired of our bickering. It seems i am stupid enough to not stop until i get blocked, so i guess i deserved to be. '''ah well.''' {{User:Seriously/sig}} 00:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

== Has Matt? ON WHEELS! ==

Thanks for clearing up all those page moves on my user space. I seriously was actually ''laughing'' the whole time it was happening. I think my userpage had at least 12 "ON WHEELS!" in the page title. My first time being WoW'd. Ever. Well, anyway, thanks a lot! {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 04:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
:No probalo. :) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
::Wow! someone must really like you! Ooo! ooo! Here's an idea (stemming from our basement discussion that should really go there but i'm sure the discussion has been archived): use the Captcha (ok maybe it's not such as hot of an idea now that i see the page move history) for making moves for all users (since we move pages seldom). But i guess these moves ''were'' done manually! Interesting. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:21, 27 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)

::::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)

== 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)

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)

== 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)

:::::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)

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.

: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)

== guess what happened to me ==

Heloo there It's dot com, how are you, i've been doing great. About the heading, check out my talk page and user page, and you'll see what happened. Have you every got a similar award? [[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 07:40, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
:Cool, man. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, keep in mind, Nikolce, that the pizza trophy is superior to the Iron cup of <strike>beef</strike> brunswick stew. This means that that trophy is one of the greatest trophies you can get. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

wow, is there some sort of "lost of tropies or something?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 05:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

:Yes. Check the [[Hrwiki: Barnstars|Barnstars]] page. There's a lot of trophies you can get. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 16:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

== Mirrors and Such ==
Hello, It's dot com. I'm now direction your admin-y attention to [[Talk:Scroll Button Songs#HRWiki Mirror|this little discussion]] in the far reaches of the knowledge base. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 15:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

== Userboxes? ==

Hey there dotty, how are these last couple of days. can i ask you something, i've been looking at people user pages, and i've been finding these things called userboxes? what are they?

is there a list of them or something?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 06:36, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

:I might be able to help here. A list is located at [[HRWiki:Userboxes]], as well as directions on how to add them to your page. Let me know if you need any help adding some, if you want to do so. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:37, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Thunderbird, let me say sorry, about this message. Its because i don't like to order people around, but my user page is a bit of a mess, actually its chaos, please help its urgent. thanks a bunch. [[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 08:06, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

:Nikolce, if you say please, it's perfectly fine. Don't worry about politeness, because it seems you almost unconsciously type in polite ways. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:46, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

== Idea and it's potential ==
Hi. Nikolce Kocovski sent me something on my talk page. It's the newest headline, I think you should check it out. I want to see if you think either his idea or mine would be of any potential. Thanks. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

== NSMC thing ==
What's the purpose of that page? Also, why'd you delete the talk page for it? {{User: Seriously/sig}} 17:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
:Also, I'd like to congrat yoyu on the amazing amount of users you've managed to obtain. Truly amazing. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 17:48, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
::"Amount of users"? What? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:49, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
:::I mean the amount of sockpuppets that NSMC created. You just made a page listing all of the addresses. It looked cool. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 17:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
::::Oh. Well, for an explanation of the page, see the section in [[HRWiki:A_History#NSMC|A History]]. I deleted the talk page because it was a user talk page, and therefore comments on it weren't addressed to me but to the vandal. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:00, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::I find this extremely interesting. Y'know, I was here when NSMC hit. I didn't know how revert it, though, so I just didn't go on the Cheat Commandos section. Of Cuorse, that wasn't enough. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 18:02, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

==18,000 views==

Hey, you've got a cool userpage. I agree, Marzipan's answering machine is underrated. {{User:Granola/sig}} 05:02, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:Thanks, man. Welcome aboard! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:03, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
::With over 18,000 views, it ''has'' to be good. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 14:25, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:::18,000 views?? When did that happen?! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
::::I'm not sure I trust those counters anyway... The one at the bottom of this talk page currently shows only about 800 views, but surely ''that'' can't be right. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::I've been having a similar situation on my user page. For some ''extremely'' odd reason, it says I have ''28,000'' page views. Seriously, I'm not that popular. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 19:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::You were talking to Dot com, not Seriously. {{User:Granola/sig}} 21:51, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Oh, Granola. That's one of the worst jokes I've heard all day. :P — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:55, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Of course, I, being a retard, do not understand that joke a bit. Also, dot com, you might as well delete that thing on the bottom I wrote, cause you asked the smoking monkey to delort it. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:58, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::Well, you see, "Seriously" can mean both your username or "in a serious manner". Has Matt? meant that ''in reality'' he is not as popular as 28,000 page views would seem to indicate, but Granola took it to mean that he was addressing you directly. Hilarity ensued. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:16, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::Or a total lack of hilarity, as it was a crappy joke. {{User:Granola/sig}} 22:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::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. I've gotta say this has shattered my confidence in those little counter things, before I would have trusted those things with my life. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:24, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::And I jumped from 2500 to 6000 in less than 24 hours awhile ago. That can't be right, either. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:28, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::::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)
:I tried to use it for the ones in my page, but it just screwed things up. Although I did put it on [[The Field]] and [[Strong Badia]] and Has Matt? used it on [[Homestar Talker]]. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks! Yeah, when the columns are independent lists, they still have to be done the regular way. The autocolumns are for when you have one long list that just needs to be split up. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Very nice script, It's dot com. No more tiring counts of items-per-column to make sure each one is equal. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:23, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:::Wait, what was the difference? I don't see anything new...at least I don't think...{{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:52, 22 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)

== Finding vandalism ==

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)

== The thing ==
Now that he's unblocked, I'm thinking you can put that template for his block reason on his talk page. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

== Did I just miss that? ==

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. In wikipedia, they are before the page title, here they are after the page title. How long has it been like that, and was that part of your recent tinkerings? Confused in Connecticut. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 22:07, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::Yeah, I'm thinking it's either a bug in the software, or a bug in Stux's compy. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:30, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::I doubt that it's a bug in my compy since my watchlist is getting the code from the server as it's all server-generated. I know I have the "enhanced" recent changes turned on (I turned it off for a moment and it indeed showed it the other way, with (diff)(hist) first. But this must've been deja vu, cuz of that. Cuz I've had it "enhanced" for the longest time. So I dunno. I probably need sleep. As for my domicile: I actually don't live in Connecticut, nor have I ever even been in the state (sadly). I just picked the two words cuz they made good alliteration! (And I was surprised to be able to spell the state's name right.) I didn't think people would assume I lived in Connecticut.

The thing has recently vandalized a wiki. Check Benol's talk page for info. I suggest you block him, as per your rule posted on the main page. Thanks. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 16:53, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::Look, you guys. I'm pretty sure all this trolling went on before Dot com posted that message on the Main Page talk. Besides, he's now trying ''extremely'' hard to clean up the mess he's made, so he obviously knows what he did is wrong. Therefore, will a block ''really'' do anything to help this situation? I think not. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 17:06, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::::Ok guys, The thing has more than repented for that vandalism. Seriously, I suggest that you keep your nose out of matters that do not involve you. The thing is currently reverting the vandalism with extreme diligence, and this situation is misunderstood by both Benol and Seriously. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 01:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::It wasn't that I was not minding my own business, but I saw many changes to Benol's talk page on the recent changes and decided to see what was up about it. I only meant to help, and I'm sorry if I failed to do so. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 12:34, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::::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)

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.

::::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)

::::::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. (That is the idea of a wiki, you know.) {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 00:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

== Flashforward ==

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

:That was not Tbird. Look [here]. The editor's IP starts with a 6. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
::Thunderbird is not at home, so the IP address would be different. It could still be him, but I would like him to log in if possible. If he can't log in at the convention, he'll figure something out or log in when he gets home later tonight. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:::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)
::::We didn't block the IP. There are several reasons why he might not have been able to log in (if the computer he was using didn't accept cookies, for example). I think the edits by the IP match TBird's style, but I'm being cautious for now. I'm patient; if I have to I can wait for him to get home to confirm. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:01, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::Ye of little faith :-P You didn't recognize my unique writing style? I just didn't really feel like logging in for one or two edits. I probably should have, but meh. In any case, all I said was true, and more. I left a message on the IRC with Phlip, but it should still be there if you scroll up, to see a brief summary of the event. I'll get a writeup started tomorrow night. For now, I've gotta be up in five and a half hours for work, so I'm going to bed. '''EDIT:''' Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention on IRC.

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.

== 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)

:::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.

Hey, do me a favor: Instead of pressing [edit] over on the right to start a new topic, please press the [ + ] (plus) button at the top of the page (in between the main edit button and the history button). (Or, at the very least, please clear the old subheading from the edit summary.) Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

== New special page ==

I've been seeing a lot of pages with the name Test being deleted, along with images. May I ask what going on? {{User:Dantheburgerking/sig}} 03:59, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

:We're testing something. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:26, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

::What I meant was what are you testing. {{User:Dantheburgerking/sig}} 11:51, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

:::It's a special page that has to do with [[Special:Personalimages|image management]]. <s>It's not ready yet,</s> but when it is, it will be linked from an HRWiki page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:55, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
::::That's really, really cool. I've been waiting for something like that... A way to see who owns what image(s) quickly. This should certainly be helpful in managing 'em, eh? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==H*bad==

I would like to request to have my user name changed from H*bad to something else, at the fanstuff wiki, how do I do that?--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 03:56, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

:If the name of our [[HRWiki:Changing username|changing username]] page is any indication, I estimate it would be at [[HRFWiki:HRFWiki:Changing username|HRFWiki:Changing username]]. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

== IP Checking ==

There's been a fair amount of debate about accounts that seem to be all created by H*bad. Since we lack any ability to check for IP addresses, would you be able to see if the following accounts share the same IP?: [[HRFWiki:User:H*bad|H*bad]], [[HRFWiki:User:H*bad1|H*bad1]], [[HRFWiki:User:Darth Homestar Runner|Darth Homestar Runner]], [[HRFWiki:User:Darth Homestar runner|Darth Homestar runner]], [[HRFWiki:User:Guyforerunner|Guyforerunner]], [[HRFWiki:User:Godzillarunner|Godzillarunner]], [[HRFWiki:User:Homestarrunner101|Homestarrunner101]], [[HRFWiki:User:Running along|Running along]]. Any info you could get would be much combobulated. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 01:04, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
:They're the same (except I'm not sure about Guyforerunner). See also [[User_talk:Tom#Emergency|this discussion]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:41, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
::What in the world. My friend created H*bad1 at my house. Thats why he has the same IP address as mine, I believe. He called me up and told me that you guys are like people who want to put salt in an open wound. Why you do this to him? I will keep on fighting this little thing about H*bad1. I explained all of this cwap at [[HRFWiki:My dark side|My dark side]]--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 05:52, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Um... yeah. Okay. First of all, don't let people make accounts using your computer, and if you do, have them choose a different name from you. (That still doesn't explain all the other names, by the way.) But I don't really want to get into it here, as it has been discussed on other pages, like you point out. Super Sam simply asked me whether the IPs matched and I answered him. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:02, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

== MediaWiki Extensions ==

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)
::Alrighty, thanks. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 11:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Here's a little way to add a purge button using [[User:Super Sam/monobook.js|your monobook.js]] that I came up with and Dot com fixed to actually work properly:
<pre>//Add purge cache button
function addPurgeButton()
{
var href = document.location.href;
{
var historyHref = document.getElementById( "ca-history" ).firstChild.href;
var div = document.getElementById( "p-cactions" );
var ul = div.getElementsByTagName( "ul" )[0];
var newLi = document.createElement( "li" );
var newA = document.createElement( "a" );
newA.setAttribute( "href" , historyHref.replace( "=history" , "=purge" ) );
var text = document.createTextNode( "Purge" );
newA.appendChild( text );
newLi.appendChild( newA );
ul.appendChild( newLi );
}
}
if ( window.addEventListener ) window.addEventListener( "load" , addPurgeButton , false );
else if ( window.attachEvent ) window.attachEvent( "onload", addPurgeButton );</pre>

== 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)
::I went ahead and STUFF'd it for you. You can have the next one. :) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Thanks! I appreciate that. [[User:Compdude|Compdude]]

== Recent block ==

Looking at the [[Special:Ipblocklist|Block list]], I saw that you banned User:Fire Man. Are you sure you've got the right guy? Looking at [[Special:Contributions/Fire Man|his contribs]] he only made one edit and it wasn't anything bad. He seems like a perfectly fine user. I think he's innocent so you should unblock him. Any reason why you blocked him in the first place? {{User:Tampo/sig}} 02:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:You are correct about the number and type of contribs for that account. I am unblocking it on a provisional basis. I remind whoever needs to hear it that vandalism and flagrant abuse of the wiki's policies will not be tolerated. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:50, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:Well, I'm pretty sure the answer there is yes in most cases, it's moot if you want to use one here. Only developers can run Wikibots. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::While that's true, Kookykman, he might asking in general. Sorry, Bluebry. I'm not the one to ask about bots. You might try Joey, Tom, Phlip, or even others. I'm much more content to hack the software from the inside rather than use a bot from the outside. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:42, 11 April 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)
::::Now, I'm still new to programing, but I heard C. Would C be anything like C++? And I don't want to hear anything about developer status either. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:52, 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]]. Again, thanks for your note, and welcome to the wiki! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:07, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

== Broken link ==

Just letting you know, the link near the bottom of your page that is supposed to lead to the discussion concerning the email blockquote styles is broken. That discussion was archived, so it should link to [[Talk:Strong Bad Email/Archive#New email format...]] instead. See ya! {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

== I need some help ==

Hey there its dot com, how are you, how;s easter in america(if you celebrate it?)?

I need to ask you something, do you happen to know any Homestar runner wikipedias that are star wars fans?

by the way, happy easter

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 01:35, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

:A [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Search?ns2=1&ns3=1&search=star+wars&searchx=Search quick search] in the user and user talk namespaces turns up a number of users who may be fans of Star Wars. Hope this helps. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 02:05, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

== Just a little hello ==

Hey there, It's dot com.
Homsarroks here. I just wanted to drop by and say hey and that you're cool.

{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 13:32, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Just out of curiosity, why did you revert my edits on the HR Wiki article on wikipedia? I tried to include the most important users on the wiki there (e.g. you, Tom, BazookaJoe, Some H*R Themed Username, etc.) and put accurate descriptions on what you did there. I'm not mad or anything, just a bit confused. Get back to me when you can. 

P.P.S. I left this message on your account on Wikipedia first, but I decided to put it on both your accounts so that you might get it sooner.

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)

Okay, I can understand that. THanks for the reply.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 22:07, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

== We need the "Recent Changes" notice to be at the top of every page. ==

Yeah. Not everybody checks that. --[[HRFWiki:User:The Mu|Da M-izz-u]][[HRFWiki:User talk:The Mu|Tizzalk]] 19:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
:Why do you need a sitenotice? People who don't check the recent changes just won't find out. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
::So it's not really that big of a deal? --[[HRFWiki:User:The Mu|Da M-izz-u]][[HRFWiki:User talk:The Mu|Tizzalk]] 19:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Personally, I'd recommend putting the notice, or something like it, on the Main Page. This is big news, and there are a lot of fans who may not find out because they don't have accounts, don't check their user pages, Watchlist or Recent Changes, etc. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
::::Yeah. --[[HRFWiki:User:The Mu|Da M-izz-u]][[HRFWiki:User talk:The Mu|Tizzalk]] 19:48, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::People who visit the wiki on such an informal basis as you describe are not likely to have the same feelings towards the situation as regular and power users like us.

We've added it to the [[H*R.com updates 2006|historical record of events]], but we will not add it to the [[Template:whatsnew|current updates]] if [[The Brothers Chaps]] don't mention it on H*R.com.

== hAcKEr ==

Why did you write hAcKEr in binary in your User Box? Oh well... You don't have to answer. By the way, people say your cool. I guess I agree. [[User:Steve|Steve]] 22:01, 22 April 2006
:I wrote hAcKEr, eh Steve? Heh, that's been there for months, and to the best of my knowledge you're the first one to decode it.

== 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)

Wiki grrl: asking a question

{{talktobedeleted}}

==Location==

Personally, I think the contents of this article are obvious. I just don't think we need to note this on its own page. We also could move each thing to the characters' pages. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:13, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
:I'm afraid Bluebry's right. I support deletion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:14, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
::'''Delete''' or '''merge''', but do not keep. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:15, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Nice idea, but I'm for '''deletion'''. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
::::Agree'd. With the info we provide, people should be able to figure this out for themselves. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I am the creator of this article. Could you please move the page to my user page as in "UserPages:Wiki grrl" or something?

:No, I believe it's against the subpage rules. (If you want it moves to something in your userspace, then you would use subpages.) {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:22, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Wiki grrl, please don't take this vote personally. We all have spent hours on things which were eventually deleted. This is not a vote on you, or on how hard you worked on this page, but on the value of this page to the wiki. I'm afraid that my opinion is that while it is interesting, it's not needed, and that would be my opinion no matter who made it. Please don't let it discourage you from contributing to the wiki. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:34, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

:Agreed, Qermaq. I'm more subject to a '''deletion''' than a merge, here. {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 23:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Its okay. I consider your hard efforts to help the wiki as well as mine. I copied and pasted it to my user page. I will continue contributing to the wiki! Could you give me ideas for other articles?--Wiki grrl 23:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

:'''Move to user subpage.''' Why can't this be moved to her user space? I know she copied it to her user page, but what's wrong with a subpage? In my opinion this serves the project quite well. I believe we should ''encourage'' academic essays such as this in the user space. (Note that ''in no way'' would I want such essays to be fanstuff.) She has clearly tried to follow good form here, with an introduction, development paragraphs, and a conclusion. These things are to be commended. Good prize! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
::I do believe that it should be a user subpage, but, It is in the "guidelines". [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|This]] is where it said '''archives of already deleted pages'''. I'm fine with it being a subpage, but it is against the user space guidelines. That, and it said '''Do not use component (nested) pages for content that could just as easily go on your main page.''' I'm pretty sure this is kinda like template and stuff like that, but, this can easily go on the User page. Sorry, Wiki grrl, it's not personal. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 00:15, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Bluebry: I believe you are interpreting the user space guidelines too narrowly. First of all, this page has never been deleted. Second, it attempts to be encyclopedic in content. It could even be considered a work in progress, which is certainly allowed. I'm also not sure it "just as easily" fits on her user page, given that it is an article. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
::::I knew you would say that first one. Well, why do we need a subpage of it if it's an article? It has to be deleted or rejected as HRWiki content before we subpage it, or it'd just be a waste. That, and Wiki grrl's comment below of "delete it ASAP" and the number of people for the deletion of this article say that. 2: A work in progress means it will be released back into the wiki one day. If we have deleted it, we will probably delete it again, and if it REALLy needs work done to it, mark it with the cleanup tag. In fact, moving it to a subpage would be more of a hassle really unless we take the options above (as I see it, at least). Secondly, '''Do not use component (nested) pages for content that could just as easily go on your main page.''' HRWiki:User space said it, I repeated it, and I'm doin' it again. This is just fine where it is on Wiki grrl's User page. Also, may I ask the reason you ''must'' have this article as a subpage? My reason for all of these replies (or seilper, if you will) is to enforce the guidlines on [[HRWiki:User space]]. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 00:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
:::::That phrase doesn't mean what you think it means. It means "don't make a subpage and use it as a template on your user page when you could just as easily put the code itself on your user page." That policy is currently being abused by several users, but that's not what we're talking about here, so there's no need to keep repeating it. As for this page, (1) it is not a secret, (2) it is not fanstuff, (3) it is not an archive of deleted material, and (4) it ''does'' serve the project because (a) it is an academic essay about the Homestar Runner universe that (b) is presented in article format with encyclopedic material. Note that I don't believe that it currently meets our standards for inclusion in the main namespace, but if articles can be created in the user namespace, developed, and then moved into the main namespace, then surely articles that are not quite up to snuff can be demoted into the user namespace for further development. As I said above, any legitimate non-fanstuff essay that attempts to add actual content to the project should be encouraged. Judging by our established criteria, I see no reason to delete this outright instead of moving it to her user space. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:10, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I vote do not delete. Like It's Dot Com said, it is complety right! It is a nice project, and deserves to stay. Please keep it. New users who do not know a lot about the simalarities of the two can learn from this! KEEP IT!
------Wiki grrl 00:59, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

:Okay, so strike that "delete ASAP" thing. But, there's still majority for deletion or to merge it. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:33, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

:I can appreciate the time that went into writing this, but not only are its contents obvious to the unobservant eye; the structure is essay-style instead of article-style. Nice work, but this does not warrant an article. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
::This is why I'm suggesting '''moving''' it instead of outright deleting it. The article is a lengthy user essay; therefore, it belongs in the user space. Users should be permitted to write lengthy factual, academic, encyclopedic essays on Homestar Runner content. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:46, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
:::I would also support '''moving to userspace'''. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

::::This was not meant to be an essay, but I can see why it is. If it follows all the standards, keep it. Like It's dot com said, we can move it to my namespace,work on it, and then move it to a main page. Wiki grrl 10:32, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::That's a nice idea. I support the '''move'''. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 11:40, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

::::::I also support a move. Why exactly do you want to delete this nice page? Give your resons and why. I simply want an explination. Again, would you want me to delete your page just because I think it's in a bad format? Keep in mind I worked on this page for 3 hours. Right away it was submitted for deletion. Please give this page a chance in the wiki world! Any ideas on how I could fix it to become a main page?

:::::::(Don't forget to sign your posts.) Patience, Wiki grrl. Let's focus on getting this page moved to your user space, and ''then'' you can worry about its actual content. Right now I'm just waiting on Bluebry's reply before I move it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Wiki grrl: debating a page for deletion

{{talktobedeleted}}

==Location==

Personally, I think the contents of this article are obvious. I just don't think we need to note this on its own page. We also could move each thing to the characters' pages. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:13, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
:I'm afraid Bluebry's right. I support deletion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:14, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
::'''Delete''' or '''merge''', but do not keep. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:15, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Nice idea, but I'm for '''deletion'''. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
::::Agree'd. With the info we provide, people should be able to figure this out for themselves. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I am the creator of this article. Could you please move the page to my user page as in "UserPages:Wiki grrl" or something?

:No, I believe it's against the subpage rules. (If you want it moves to something in your userspace, then you would use subpages.) {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:22, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Wiki grrl, please don't take this vote personally. We all have spent hours on things which were eventually deleted. This is not a vote on you, or on how hard you worked on this page, but on the value of this page to the wiki. I'm afraid that my opinion is that while it is interesting, it's not needed, and that would be my opinion no matter who made it. Please don't let it discourage you from contributing to the wiki. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:34, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

:Agreed, Qermaq. I'm more subject to a '''deletion''' than a merge, here. {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 23:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Its okay. I consider your hard efforts to help the wiki as well as mine. I copied and pasted it to my user page. I will continue contributing to the wiki! Could you give me ideas for other articles?--Wiki grrl 23:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

:'''Move to user subpage.''' Why can't this be moved to her user space? I know she copied it to her user page, but what's wrong with a subpage? In my opinion this serves the project quite well. I believe we should ''encourage'' academic essays such as this in the user space. (Note that ''in no way'' would I want such essays to be fanstuff.) She has clearly tried to follow good form here, with an introduction, development paragraphs, and a conclusion. These things are to be commended. Good prize! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
::I do believe that it should be a user subpage, but, It is in the "guidelines". [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|This]] is where it said '''archives of already deleted pages'''. I'm fine with it being a subpage, but it is against the user space guidelines. That, and it said '''Do not use component (nested) pages for content that could just as easily go on your main page.''' I'm pretty sure this is kinda like template and stuff like that, but, this can easily go on the User page. Sorry, Wiki grrl, it's not personal. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 00:15, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Bluebry: I believe you are interpreting the user space guidelines too narrowly. First of all, this page has never been deleted. Second, it attempts to be encyclopedic in content. It could even be considered a work in progress, which is certainly allowed. I'm also not sure it "just as easily" fits on her user page, given that it is an article. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
::::I knew you would say that first one. Well, why do we need a subpage of it if it's an article? It has to be deleted or rejected as HRWiki content before we subpage it, or it'd just be a waste. That, and Wiki grrl's comment below of "delete it ASAP" and the number of people for the deletion of this article say that. 2: A work in progress means it will be released back into the wiki one day. If we have deleted it, we will probably delete it again, and if it REALLy needs work done to it, mark it with the cleanup tag. In fact, moving it to a subpage would be more of a hassle really unless we take the options above (as I see it, at least). Secondly, '''Do not use component (nested) pages for content that could just as easily go on your main page.''' HRWiki:User space said it, I repeated it, and I'm doin' it again. This is just fine where it is on Wiki grrl's User page. Also, may I ask the reason you ''must'' have this article as a subpage? My reason for all of these replies (or seilper, if you will) is to enforce the guidlines on [[HRWiki:User space]]. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 00:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
:::::That phrase doesn't mean what you think it means. It means "don't make a subpage and use it as a template on your user page when you could just as easily put the code itself on your user page." That policy is currently being abused by several users, but that's not what we're talking about here, so there's no need to keep repeating it. As for this page, (1) it is not a secret, (2) it is not fanstuff, (3) it is not an archive of deleted material, and (4) it ''does'' serve the project because (a) it is an academic essay about the Homestar Runner universe that (b) is presented in article format with encyclopedic material. Note that I don't believe that it currently meets our standards for inclusion in the main namespace, but if articles can be created in the user namespace, developed, and then moved into the main namespace, then surely articles that are not quite up to snuff can be demoted into the user namespace for further development. As I said above, any legitimate non-fanstuff essay that attempts to add actual content to the project should be encouraged. Judging by our established criteria, I see no reason to delete this outright instead of moving it to her user space. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:10, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I vote do not delete. Like It's Dot Com said, it is complety right! It is a nice project, and deserves to stay. Please keep it. New users who do not know a lot about the simalarities of the two can learn from this! KEEP IT!
------Wiki grrl 00:59, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

:Okay, so strike that "delete ASAP" thing. But, there's still majority for deletion or to merge it. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:33, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

:I can appreciate the time that went into writing this, but not only are its contents obvious to the unobservant eye; the structure is essay-style instead of article-style. Nice work, but this does not warrant an article. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
::This is why I'm suggesting '''moving''' it instead of outright deleting it. The article is a lengthy user essay; therefore, it belongs in the user space. Users should be permitted to write lengthy factual, academic, encyclopedic essays on Homestar Runner content. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:46, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
:::I would also support '''moving to userspace'''. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

::::This was not meant to be an essay, but I can see why it is. If it follows all the standards, keep it. Like It's dot com said, we can move it to my namespace,work on it, and then move it to a main page. Wiki grrl 10:32, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::That's a nice idea. I support the '''move'''. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 11:40, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::::I also support a move. Why exactly do you want to delete this nice page? Give your resons and why. I simply want an explination. Again, would you want me to delete your page just because I think it's in a bad format? Keep in mind I worked on this page for 3 hours. Right away it was submitted for deletion. Please give this page a chance in the wiki world! Any ideas on how I could fix it to become a main page?

''See [[User talk:Jay/Archive]] for old discussions.''

== Sysop duties 8/27/05 ==

Thanks, Jay. Thank you, thank you. How do you like that <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> template It's dot com and I collaborated on? Kind of makes it easier to delete because you don't have to enter in a reason manually, huh? Speaking of blocking that David Brown spammer, here is another IP that has been used the past few days: [[Special:Contributions/82.67.192.173|82.67.192.173]]. Thanks again for cleaning up. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:36, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)
: True dat. I'd seen that guy in the past but for some reason thought he'd already been blocked. I'm gonna run a check on his IP address before deciding to block the range or just the single address. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:39, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)
: Oh, and my computer's not running this site at full speed; last night, it even 509'd me (heck, I'm surprised I can use it now!) I think it may go down again by the end of the month... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:40, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:: Don't worry, it's not your computer running slow; it's the server. Everybody was 509'd for a short while last night. I was sleeping. Glad it came back up. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:43, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::: I know why it's running slow; I guess I just wasn't clear (this computer's only a couple of months old, so it probably wouldn't be running slowly under normal conditions.) I almost wish it ''had'' stayed 509'd for real, as then Willy on Wheels (the moron I suspect is responsible for the page move vandalism) wouldn't have been able to do anything. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:47, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==[[Halloween Costumes]] - Three Extra?==

Hey Jay, I know this is kinda looking a ways back, but I just realized now that you added three [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Halloween_Costumes&diff=97721&oldid=97719 alternate costumes] to the Costumes page, from a 'secret page'. I was just wondering where you found that, hopefully to add a link or something. Thanks! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:33, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)
: [http://www.homestarrunner.com/halloween01.swf This page], which is already linked on [[Secret Pages]]. Also see [[Talk:Marzipan]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:41, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Thanks Jay.I did check secret pages, but I just did Ctr+F, and searched for halloween. The link is much appreciated. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:58, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::: I think I'd done that once before. Yeah, "Halloween" definitely should have been somewhere in the description. Ah well. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:03, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== RACIST!!!!!!!! ==

You blocked somebody just because they have a Japanese screenname unblock 'em or I'll tell Jimbo Wales on the big wikpedia

:That user happened to be a troll. Jay was correct to block them. And we don't have anything to do with Jimbo or Wikipedia. We just use the same software.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:19, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

What was his name? I wanna translate it, see if it means anything mean. --{{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig}}

:Look on the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=Jay&page= block log] at 17:00, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC) (the time shows up as your local time). You can't miss it. Oh, and if you know Greek, you can do the one two lines up, as well. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:47, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)

The Japanesse one roughly translates into "King woman of shining of rainbow", I am working on the Greek one now. --{{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig}}

The Greek one roughly translates into "utmost cows" --{{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig}}

== RACIST AGIAN!!!! ==

You blocked -Erson just because he's gay (which he openly admits on the [[brianrietta]] discussion right. please clarify if you didn't. but until then you are guilty until proven innocent

:User:-Erson was a page move troll. If you bother Jay again, I'm going to have to block you for personally attacking him.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:21, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:To clarify, there was a page-move troll who impersonated actual members. You're therefore thinking of someone else. (Also, racism wouldn't apply here, BTW.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:23, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:: Yes, both blocked members were trolls. I found the user name for the first one unreadable (my computer does not display Japanese fonts; for all I know he could have been swearing in Japanese and I'd have had no clue) but the ''real'' reason for blocking him was his trolling. The latter was a troll commonly known as Willy on Wheels who impersonated [[User:-erson|-erson]] (note the ''lowercase'' e) and about fifty other people (notice that I also blocked one "J ay", but clearly I'm not going to block ''myself''). -erson is ''not'' blocked and has done nothing worth blocking him over as far as I've seen (I'm not homophobic and don't care about his sexual orientation in the least.) '''''YOU''''', on the other hand... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:32, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)

whoever you are, you just got served by jay. [[User:Seriously|Seriously]] 02:13, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

:He got served well over 4 months ago. Contributing to such conversations aren't really contributions, and tricks poor Jay into thinking he's got new messages. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:18, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
:: Yeah, I was just going crazy trying to find the new message! Well, okay, no, I wasn't going crazy, but I ''was'' a bit confused. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:24, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Heh heh, then I guess it was worth it. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

== Undelete ==

Jay, could you please undelete [[User talk:Be's careful]]? A WoW sockpuppet with that username created that, and I would like to keep it as evidence of who he is. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:10, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
: I'm personally against it, as the name has been blocked indefinitely and WoW couldn't use it again if he wanted to. But I did it anyway. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:21, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:: IMO, registered trolls' user pages should not be deleted, unless they contain obscene content. I also didn't want JoeyDay to delete all of the impersonation accounts (but it's too late now), just in case I decide to make a WoW template. I was also going to tell you that his accounts here are logged on Wikipedia, but I can see you've already noticed that. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:32, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::: Not ''all'' of his accounts - the impersonations are absent. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:35, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::The impersonation accounts no longer exist here, so I, thinking like a computer, decided it didn't matter. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:37, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::: Anyway, since most of WoW's edits are page moves, they don't show up on our Contributions pages, so even if the user names were never deleted, there wouldn't be any evidence that he ''did'' do any wrongdoing except in our own memories. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:37, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Insult to Insult ==

Jay, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Template:STUFF/The_Luau&action=history your comment] about me sounds '''very insulting.''' [[Meet Marshie|"Dont'cha like me?"]] {{User:Trogga/sig}}
: It wasn't meant to be ''very'' insulting, but you have been known to delete facts or information from pages with no consensus, and after you've already made the very changes and had them reverted. I have a tendency to be blunt, I admit, but I calls 'em as I sees 'em. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:16, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Blue Jay==
Hey, Jay! Just so you know, your racist friend has just made fun of you in a sad, sad, way. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 03:04, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:To elaborate, he made [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Homsar_Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=139287 this edit] and moved '''Homsar's Main Page''' to '''Homsar Main Page on theon wheeles'''. It's all in the past now. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:15, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:: Homsar... main... page... on... ''WHAT?!'' Tell me it's not... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:08, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== 68.200.46.214 ==

Jay, 68.200.46.214 is a garden variety troll, and has made a few edits, including a vulgar one to strongbadman's [[User:strongbadman| user page]] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:strongbadman&diff=prev&oldid=157160]. Should he be added to [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]]? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:21, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
: No need, I'll look into it and take care of him. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:21, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Okay, just wondering. The edits were minor anyway. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:24, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Trolll from HRFWiki! ==

The troll Marshie Man trolled me, as an I.P address. How do I know it was him? His user page said marshie man lives. And he, was from the HRFWiki. Thanks for taking care of that. [[User:H*R 700|H*R 700]]
: I actually haven't been on the site lately that much, and there are other sysops around. I also have no jurisdiction over the Fanstuff Wiki. But if someone else hasn't, I'll check it out. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:45, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:: Oh dear! Someone has deleted the entire Fanstuff Wiki database! Oh wait, that's just Tom, upgrading. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:47, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::: Uh... okay? This guy was a real troll, and left unblocked, so I did the 24 hour thing since it was pointed out to me. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:48, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::Oh, I thought he was reporting trolling ''on'' the fanstuff. I went there to see, and there was no data there. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
:::::No, no. I think he was just informing me that he was a user on the fanstuff Wiki, probably in hopes that I'd block him there too or something. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:54, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::::No, nothing like that. I jsut wanted to point out that he was on the Fanstuff wiki, before. I know you don't have a user, there. {{User:H*R 700/sig}}

== Why ==

Why'd you delete the Teen Girl Squad characters page? I was about to make an edit! And what happened to my account!? --[[User:daunrealist|daunrealist]]
:Never mind, my account disappeared for a second. But why the deletion?
: I stupidly hit the "delete" button instead of "Edit," and didn't pay attention (I was reverting.) Oops! Fixed it now. Sorry about that. :[ --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== Howdy there, Jay... ==

I was just wondering why you or any of the other mods aren't making a big stink about the Sebastian Coe fun fact currently on the STUFF page. It's a big coincidence, even moreso than the infamous Change Of Pace fun fact that you and I fought over, and yet no one is saying anything. Just wanted to know what the deal was. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 22:44, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
:It isn't really the job of us "mods" to make a stink about content. Sysops perform maintenance and help keep people in line, but in questions of content our vote counts the same as everybody else. (That's the theory anyway. We all know that it's not completely true. But it's something to strive for.) I can't (and wouldn't) speak for Jay, but I'm not completely convinced this item is wrong. ''(I'm not convinced it's right, either, which is why I haven't voted. In fact, looking at the page, I see that a lot of people with good heads on their shoulders are still on the fence.)'' And what does the item really say? "'Seb' may be a reference..." Well, okay, it may be a reference. Everyone who is voting to accept it (and I stress again that I don't necessarily agree with them) knows that it's not ''certainly'' a reference, just that it ''may'' be. Ordinarily, we nip "may be" facts in the bud, and for good reason. Most of them are total rubbish. But we have to be flexible enough to allow such a fact to make it through the process if enough people agree with it (and, at last count, it's lopsided by a 4-to-1 margin). And doing so doesn't mean that the process is broken, or that everyone has suddenly gone mad. I'm not trying to argue the merits for or against this particular fact. All I'm saying is that how this particular vote goes is not a good indicator of whether nor not the world is ending. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
::I understand, Dot com, but the thing is such a stink was made about the other fact, which I believe had more of a factual basis than this one, and it was not put up for whatever reason. It would just seem awfully hypocritical to let one that is an actual coincidence stand and b**ch and moan about another one that wasn't as clear cut. (I know you didn't do it, Dot com, but Jay did, and that's why I put this here.) --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 01:23, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
:::I think you're going to find that even reasonable people will disagree from time to time on what is clear cut. For example, some people with whom I have chatted find this current item quite plausible, or at least are undecided like I am. And even a certain person with a reputation for declining good facts (I'll let you figure out who) even voted ''for'' it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
::::This is one that I have literally no opinion on. Notice that I never even voted for it. Dot Com hit the nail on the head: what's plausible or clear-cut to one person may not be to someone else. The Family Guy thing is one I simply cannot wrap my brain around; the timing made it near-impossible as far as I can see, and, if TBC really did get the idea from Family Guy, it was less a reference and more a stolen joke. This one is plausible, in theory; I don't like the fact but I don't dislike it enough to say that it's definitely not true. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:11, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
::::Oh, and despite the comment to the contrary on STUFF, the Change of Pace fact ''was'' added to the [[do over]] page and has not been removed, despite my protests. Thus, I can either assume that you were a) mistaken or b) trying to garner sympathy for your opinion. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:16, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
::::I never saw the fact put back on the page, but I still don't think it was fair what you did. And I will contest this fact if it is accepted, because there is absolutely no factual basis behind it. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 13:46, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::Dude, it's a guy nicknamed "seb" who runs a mile. It could be a coincidence, but the odds of something like this are so rare that you can't just dismiss it as obviously and definitely untrue. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 14:04, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
::::::Also, ISlayedTheKerrek, you have to have grounds for contesting a verdict. That is, you have to show that something was wrong with the way the vote itself was handled. Looking at this vote, I see that it is being conducted properly and fairly. The item is worded carefully so as to be factual while taking into account the speculation (yes, speculation; on rare occasions we allow ourselves to do that). Each voter, as far as I should be able to tell, is aware of this wording and the speculation, and those who choose to accept are all comfortable with it. Because of this vote's sensitive nature, it will not be closed even one minute before the standard 14-day period is complete. Everything is on the up-and-up, and if the vote holds it ''will'' be placed on the page. Your contesting, should you make good on your threat, will be groundless. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:03, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::::P.S. I dislike the fact that not only are you attacking Jay, but you're using his own talk page to do it under false pretenses. You suggested it would be hypocritical for him ''not'' to make a fuss about this fact, but later you said that you "don't think it was fair what [he] did" in the Change of Pace fact. You can't have it both ways. It seems the only reason you posted here was to try and goad him into taking a stand because you hoped it would support your position. Then, when he ''didn't'' back you up, you threatened to do the very thing you claimed was unfair for him to do. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::::::::Whoa, whoa, whoa! You're taking what I said out of context, Dot Com. First of all, what false pretenses am I doing this under? I'm noting that there is another controversial fun fact out there, and bringing up what happened the last time that that had happened. But whatever. Secondly, I wasn't trying to goad him into doing anything. I just wanted to know why no one said anything. That's all. Maybe you didn't like my choice of words, and maybe I shouldn't have said anything to begin with. Did I expect Jay to back me up? Quite frankly, no. If he wanted to, that was his business. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHY NO ONE SAID ANYTHING. THAT'S ALL. And why did you say I attacked Jay? I never said anything that can be considered an attack! That hurts me- I've done nothing wrong on this wiki. I've tried hard to be a good Wiki member, but apparently no one sees that. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything, but I just was curious.

Let me explain what I meant- although I didn't like what went down there, I thought that if it was gonna be done on one and not another that was along those same lines, it would be sort of hypocritical. (And besides, I know better than to attack someone on their talk page- it doesn't make sense to do it, as we've seen from someone else who doesn't know what the meaning of the word "racism" is). --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 01:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

==West Is Ellipsis==

Actually, according to [http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/cmosfaq/cmosfaq.SpecialCharacters.html the Chicago Manual of Style] (see halfway down the page), ellipses ''should'' have spaces before as well as after. [[Wikipedia:Ellipsis|Ellipsis]] does concede that "some write ellipses without spaces," though. I was just wondering, is there a particular standard we base the wiki's on? I know journalists play by a slightly different set of rules on a lot of issues; is that what we're using, since a wiki is somewhat a journalistic entity? —: [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:47, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
: I wasn't aware of this, and as far... as I know... we write ellipses... without spaces before them... in most cases... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:48, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

::::If you were publishing a book . . . this . . . with spaces everywhere . . . is how you would make . . . an ellipsis. But that isn't necessary here, and it could cause bad line breaks. If we're using the ellipsis to actually indicate omitted words, then ... this ... with the space before and after but not internally ... would be fine. If we're indicating a pause... or trailing off... then it looks better... without the space before. No spaces at all...just looks...silly. It's...

:::::::Newspapers get so many things wrong when it comes to style that I can hardly stand to read them. They try to squeeze as much as they can into as small space as they can, and they will therefore sacrifice accuracy for brevity. So don't get me started on ''that''. I happen to be in the publishing business, and ''A Dictionary of Modern American Usage'' and ''The Chicago Manual of Style'' are two of my best working companions as I edit the magazine that we print each month. To solve the problem of bad line breaks caused by the internal spaces, I use nonbreaking spaces. I suppose we could do that, too (like this: "<code>.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.</code>"), but that seems overly pedantic. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:45, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::So it sounds like we're agreed on.... However, do we also maintain that full sentences should end with four, as I just did (period plus ellipsis)? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:00, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::::::The thing is... we almost never use literal ellipsis points. By that I mean, relatively speaking, we rarely have the need to quote something and leave out part of it. In those cases, I still think that the space before is appropriate: "Do you take your wrestling mask ... off before you go to bed?" The period-plus-ellipsis-points variety (typographically identical to four periods and used when the previous sentence is complete) would be even rarer. We just don't quote that much stuff. Most often we use them as a suspension... to indicate a pause. I personally think the subtlety of the four version versus the three version would be lost on most people and not worth the effort to fix them. By the way, this discussion has taken on a life of its own, and seems to be a bona fide standards conversation. Should it be moved to [[HRWiki talk:Standards]]? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:24, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

==Stinkoman Lives==

Okay, I know this is awhile back, but please try to remember. Around the week of October 13th, you made a change to the StinkoMan enemies page (sorry there is no link here). You removed my comment about using lives to help store shields and you said that "lives were good for that anymore." Can you explain this. Last time I checked, StinkoMan 20X6 hasn't been changed. Anyway, I'm going to re-post that comment. I've used lives to allow me to go through a level, collect shields, then die and replay the level to get more shields. It's a very good strategy. Please respond soon! [[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 22:23, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I noticed a while back you posted several comments on [[User: Nerd42]]'s talk page concerning religion, and being an atheist myself, I must say I completely agree. The funny thing is that nerd42 didn't entirely do much wrong on purpose. He just did what an amazing amount of people do every day, which is criticize other religions, and in many cases, ''lack'' of religion. You know about the recent mobs of muslims who are angry about comics — ''comics'' that were offensive to mohammid? All that nerd42 did in the end was contradict something that he soon realized was extremely important in the human lifestyle, and in that, created what would have been an uproar of religious fights on the wiki if it haden't been for people like [[User: AbdiViklas|abdi]] and you. thank you. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:05, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

: Not much to tell; actually, I don't even know if that's necessary on my User page any more. Atrivo was the first block that I'm aware of on this Wiki that was a range block. See, Atrivo is a spamming company and used the entirety of their range to spam. Not a sysop at the time, I used my knowledge of IP addresses to list the number of addresses Atrvio could use (which was some unweildly number) and the whole range, and asked if it wasn't possible to block the whole range.

==Clean-up==
Please consider cleaning up your user talk. This makes it very difficult for recent page patrollers to patroll. Move some discussions to another subpage like this:
Copy a portion of the article (the portion being moved).
Then, type in User talk:Jay/name of article in the search bar.
Click on create page and paste the portion of the article there.
Click save! Don't forget to mark the summary part "moved some discussions" or something like that. This just makes it easier for recent patrolers to patrol. If necessary, delete some old discussions or move them to your old discussions archive. If you have any questions leave [[Wiki grrl]] a message on her talk page. Thankyou!

{{featuredarticle}}
== Collaborative Community Project ==

The goal is to remove the cleanup tag by the end of the week. Remove or [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] bad Fun Facts (be sure to read the rules first). Remove any Fun Facts that belong on related PQ pages. Try to arrange the facts in the order which they appear in the game. Be sure to wikify (add links, internal and interwiki) wherever appropriate. Don't forget to wash where the sun don't shine. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 20:09, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Should sub-pages be made for all of the fun facts? I'm just trying to think of a way to make it a ''little'' more visually pleasing.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 03:20, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Let me just start by saying that YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE A POST IN THE "Other games reference" IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S OBVIOUS, SUCH AS, "if you type in 'look' and you can't look at something you get an error message so it must be a reference to [insert old school adventure game here]."Honestly, there isn't just ONE ADVENTURE GAME OUT THERE! This game is a parody of all classic adventure games- not just "Monkey Island", "Zork", "Mario RPG", "Space Quest", etc. So please, everyone, don't try to make a reference if it's obvious. --[[User:Skizzot|Skizzot]] 22:11, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Walkthrough ==

Hm. The walkthrough really ought to get the user 150 points instead of 149. Is this my fault? I created the image with the little numbers. Do I need to move one (or more) of the dots so the walkthrough can be fixed? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 10:07, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

:Okay, after surveying the damage, it looks as though step 7 of the first quest needs to be moved so that it is positioned above step 4. I'm working on the image and will update the page when the new image is in place. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 10:23, 21 Sep 2004 (MS

didi yuo do all the things you could with the baby? Like throw him in the lake, give him to the man at the Inn and put him down the well?

== Save after "Beating" Trogdor ==

I beat it and saw the credits, what happens after that? All I see is a statue of Rather Dashing wearing a Scalding Lake T-shirt and some text that says "THE END".

That's it. --[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]] 15:00, 5 Oct 2004 (MST)

Did anyone else have the same problem with loading the game? All I got when I loaded it was a piece of broken film with the Quicktime logo on it. -[[User:Everybody!|Everybody!]]
*Delete Quicktime, it's interferring with Flash. Quicktime is evil. It hijacked my computer and no matter how many times I told it not to associate with my mp3s or midis or anything it still would and even after I uninstalled it it reinstalled itself. Ugh. Just kill Apple. Anyway, get rid of Quicktime and maybe reinstall/update Flash. -[[User:Skunk|Skunk]]
** And the get QuickTime Alternative

== Salad Fingers Reference? ==

"The name 'Ron Cumberdale' is most likely a reference to the character Hubert Cumberdale in the Salad Fingers flash movie."
Cumberdale is a real last name though, which presents a BIG problem in that theory. Besides, wasn't Peasant's Quest before Salad Fingers? Anyway, I think this should be removed. -[[User:Skunk|Skunk]]
:I like the idea that TBC are aware of and would reference Salad Fingers too much to back you up- Grover Junior

:I watch Salad Fingers, but Cumberdale is too common a last name. If it was the same first name, it would be. -[[user:Lappy486|Lappy 486]]

== 150 point ending? ==

Hey, just wondering if you actually get anything for getting all 150 points. Is it worth my while?

A feeling of accomplishment? I got 150, and although I flet good about it, I got squat.

Find my glitch on the arrow game. I got 400 out of 150 lol.

== BUY MY STUFF! ==

What is it about the Peasant's Quest page that attracts so much spam? I can kinda see the Strong Bad Email page - it's linked to from the sidebar, and it's obviously going to be a high-traffic page. But why PQ? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 15:23, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)

:Do a "What links here" on both pages. Although H*R.com Updates is in the sidebar, there are a lot more pages linking to Peasant's Quest. --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]], 16:51, 12 Apr 2005 (BST)
::That still doesn't seem to be the answer to me. I doubt these spammers go through the Wiki to find a good page - they probably try to spam the main page and, failing that, go to the first page they can (which is why Strong Bad Email, the second link on the sidebar, likely gets spammed so much.) Is there an outside page that links to Peasant's Quest? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 10:26, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)

The Videlectrix runner in the intro dies by falling on his sword. A possible reference to the Greek hero Ajax who died a similar death.

*And [[action figure]] is Strong Bad email #42 that could be a referance to ''the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' '''Decline!''' [[User:The_Pardack|The_Pardack]]
*'''Decline.''' I betcha if we try hard enough we can turn this into a TMBG reference. They know TBC y'know. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:54, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
===Two names? (DECLINED)===
When you type in "talk kerrek", part of the message that comes up is "'Me llamo Julio'", which means "My name is Julio" in Spanish. As this is said by Rather Dashing, his real name is Julio.
*'''Fhqwdlcinds''' So??? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 01:24, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**So, rather dashing's real name name is Julio. Good catch! Just '''revise''' it so that its a little more obvious. Try:
When you type in "talk kerrek", part of the message that comes up is "'Me llamo Julio'", which means "My name is Julio" in
Spanish. As this is said by Rather Dashing, his real name is Julio.
--[[User:-erson|-erson]] 18:46, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Me Declino Infinito.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:09, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''REWRITE'D!''' I was the one who wrote the thing anyway, so I rewrote it with -erson-san's suggestion. --[[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 19:09, 14 Apr 2005 (EST)
*'''Decline the new one too''' It's still useless, and perhaps now moreso - are we next going to say that his name is Misspeller Jones? (Type "get plague" near the lantern.) It's a joke. Just go with it. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 01:10, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment.''' But, it might NOT be. Geez, why does everyone always decline everything around here? --[[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 10:45, 16 Apr 2005
*** Oh, wait, what was that word? "Might"? As in, you're not certain? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 18:08, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
****But the fact that Rather Dashing is saying "Me llamo Julio" as a conversation starter to the Kerrek would be a different case. Do you ever say "Hello my name is..." and mention an incorrect name? And about the "Misspeller Jones", is it not common for people to make up nicknames for people about their different characteristics? Like you call a clumbsy person "Butterfingers" even though his real name is Bob, or a bad typist "Misspeller Jones" even though his real name is Julio? --[[User:-erson|-erson]] 23:34, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*****It sounds to me like the sort of thing you'd find in the first five pages of a beginners' Spanish textbook, and without otherwise knowing what to say to the Kerrek, he just rambled relative nonsense. We know his real name, and it's not Julio. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 02:06, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
******We dont ''know'' that his real name is Rather Dashing, the character doesn't actually say it himself. Just the narrator. And whos more likely to know his own name, the narrator or Rather Dashing? --[[User:-erson|-erson]] 02:12, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*******So, at the end of the game, the NARRATOR tells Trogdor (who repeats it - in voice acting!) that his name is Rather Dashing? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 02:17, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
********Sorry, I never played to the end of the game. But honeslty, what are the odds that if he was talking nonsence he would utter a phrase that just happens to be a very popular opening statement when meeting new people? And, there is no where in the game where it tells you Rather Dashing can't speak Spanish. Perhaps he though Kerrek spoke spanish.
*********Yes, I just double-checked the ending. The narration says "You scream that your name is Rather Dashing", followed by a long speech with a computer voice reading along (a direct quote by Trogdor), ending in "It will be a pleasure to burninate you, Rather Dashing." One random piece of text may give small credence to your theory that RD's real name is Julio, but the entire rest of the game contradicts it. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 02:24, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Perhaps a rewrite than to indiciate that Rather Dashing's name may be Julio according to that text?--[[User:-erson|-erson]] 02:31, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**I don't think Fun Facts is a place for theories that "may be" true based on a possible interpretation of one statement. '''Decline.''' [[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 06:30, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Yet Another Comment.''' We all know that "rather dashing" is a term meaning you're good-looking. Maybe he just calls himself that because he thinks he's, well, good-looking. [[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 14:41, 17 Apr 2005 (EST)
*How do we know he just didn't read that off of a Spanish textbook? It's just as much speculation to say that Rather Dashing CAN speak Spanish as it is to say he can't. Can't you just accept that this is random TBC humor? Seriously, this is a bigger stretch than Dhalsim. '''Me llamo decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 06:25, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment Numero Tres.''' Look, we're never going to get anywhere like this, and I'm sick of the arguments. Someone lock this thing, PLEASE. --[[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 16:53, 19 Apr 2005
*'''Comment.''' Throughout all of the Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer, Rather Dashing is referred to as ... Rather Dashing. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 02:25, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' I never remember Rather Dashing saying his name is Julio other than right there. --[[user: Lappy 486]] 9:10 Apr 26
*'''Comment''' Actually, Julio's translation in July! So Rather Dashing actually sas "My name is '''July''' which is weird because July is usually a girl's name. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 18:21, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
**You're an idiot, "Julio" is just the masculine form of "Julia" and corresponds to "Julius." Just because Americans/English-speakers aren't commonly called "Julius" doesn't mean Spanish people can't be called "Julio."

== ESC not working? ==

==A reference maybe==
it might already be there but im not sure..."gamer ober" is proabably a refernce to the email "vacation" where a postcard said "ober there"
:Not only does that never happen, your spelling is atrocious. Please double-check your facts and grammar before posting anything.

When leaving the woman's cottage, your inner monologue says, "This place is dead anyway"-- a likely reference from the film [http://imdb.com/title/tt0117802/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9c3dpbmdlcnN8ZnQ9MXxteD0yMHxsbT01MDB8Y289MXxodG1sPTF8bm09MQ__;fc=1;ft=25;fm=1]''Swingers'' in which Alex Désert's character Charles comments on moving on to the next hot spot.-- Zoogicub, Feb. 2006

== Seek Bar ==
If you move the seek bar to a little bit after the intro ends, it takes you to the map, with rather dashing everywhere, behind it is the rain and a couple of sprites, and then full invintory is shown. Then I moved the seek bar more and it took me to the game over screen and then the archery game that you can only play for a few seconds until the rock climbing takes place. When you move it back, the target is pitch black. After the rock climb, it takes you to the credits. Whew. Man, thats weird. But I guess that kinda stuff happens with complex games like Peasents Quest and Stinkoman 20X6. [[User:Seek Bar|Seek Bar]]

This collection of pages is in ''desperate'' need of a template. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 19:38, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:I was thinking that myself, except for how many separate PQ characters there are. Should they remain separate and included on a big template, or should someone try to cram all that info onto one big Peasant's Quest Characters page? Either way, a template still seems necessary for this. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Probably the best thing to do with the characters is to provide a link to the Peasant's Quest Character category. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 20:02, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I'd like to direct you to [[Peasant's Quest Responses]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Kerrek Buckle Glitch ==
I find that when i take the kerrek's belt buckle, the game basically freezes with RD walking in place on the screen with the unclothed dude behind the tree. any ideas?

HRWiki:Recent changes patrol

Wiki grrl — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 19:15:49 GMT

Wiki grrl: Joining commitee

Ever noticed a little red exclamation point (!) next to an edit listed on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page? Did you know you can remove those exclamation points by patrolling edits? The idea is that having a group of people patrolling edits should reduce spam and vandalism.

To mark an '''edit''' as patrolled, click the "diff" link next to an unpatrolled edit, survey the edit to be sure it isn't spam or vandalism, then click the "Mark as patrolled" link near the top right of the page.

It's a different process to mark a '''new page''' patrolled. Since there is no "diff" link, you instead click on the article name. The link to patrol says, "Mark this article as patrolled", and it appears at the bottom right corner of the article.

If you'd like to help out in the effort of patrolling recent changes, put your name on the list below. Adding your name to the list constitutes a commitment of time to patrolling. This page will serve as a hub for patrollers to get in contact with one another. Feel free to list any questionable edits at the bottom of this page to call them to the attention of other patrollers. For an example of how this page might serve our community, see the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:RC patrol|Recent changes patrol]] on Wikipedia.

<homsarquote>[[Image:homsarcharacter.PNG|thumb|left|]]</homsarquote>

'''[[Homestar]] and [[Homsar]]''' are very alike, but also different. This article compares and contrasts Homestar and Homsar.

:Homestar and Homsar have a similar head shape, the same feet style, and shape of shirts. They both wear hats as well. They have the same style of eyes, and the color blue on their hat or shirt. Their face and legs are white, and they have no arms. In addition to not having any arms, it appears they have invisible arms. An example of this theory, are the items. Homestar carries a wooden spoon when he is on duty for his [[Homestarmy]]. Homsar's hat has been slid down, and slid back up by these "invisible" arms. Homestar and Homsar don't always make sense and have speech problems. They also get confused easily. Many more differences could be added to this list.

:Homestar and Homsar have their differences as well. Homsar is shorter than Homestar. He only comes up to the bottom of Homestar's shirt. Homestar has his feet together when standing in place, but Homsar almost always had his feet apart. THe size of their heads are also different. Homsar wears his name on his shirt, but Homestar wears a shirt with a star on it. Homsar wears a bowler hat, as homestar wears a beanie. Homsar's hat is navy blue and red, but Homsar owns an orange hat. Homsar was created through a [[Strong Bad Email]], as Homestar was created by Matt and Mike. Homsar has been known to start sentences with "AaAaAaAaAa," but Homestar starts sentences as normally as he can. Therefore, Homsar is sometimes hard to understand. Homestar's feet face outward, but Homsar's feet face inward.

:In conclusion, Homstar and Homsar appear very alike, but if you look closely, they are very different.

Homestar and Homsar have a similar head shape, the same feet style, and shape of shirts. They both wear hats as well. They have the same style of eyes, and the color blue on their hat or shirt. Their face and legs are white, and they have no arms. In addition to not having any arms, it appears they have invisible arms. An example of this theory, are the items. Homestar carries a wooden spoon when he is on duty for his [[Homestarmy]]. Homsar's hat has been slid down, and slid back up by these "invisible" arms. Homestar and Homsar don't always make sense and have speech problems. They also get confused easily. Many more differences could be added to this list.

Homestar and Homsar have their differences as well. Homsar is shorter than Homestar. He only comes up to the bottom of Homestar's shirt. Homestar has his feet together when standing in place, but Homsar almost always had his feet apart. THe size of their heads are also different. Homsar wears his name on his shirt, but Homestar wears a shirt with a star on it. Homsar wears a bowler hat, as homestar wears a beanie. Homsar's hat is navy blue and red, but Homsar owns an orange hat. Homsar was created through a [[Strong Bad Email]], as Homestar was created by Matt and Mike. Homsar has been known to start sentences with "AaAaAaAaAa," but Homestar starts sentences as normally as he can. Therefore, Homsar is sometimes hard to understand. Homestar's feet face outward, but Homsar's feet face inward.

In conclusion, Homstar and Homsar appear very alike, but if you look closely, they are very different.

Wiki grrl: cleaning up talk page

== Editing Tips ==

:To make a subpage, move the page to User:Wiki grrl/example

: Each line here
:: is indented
::: one more time than
:::: the line before it.

:::::To sign your name on talk pages, type four tildes, like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, and the system will automatically put in your name and a timestamp, like this: Wiki grrl 10:17, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

== Userbox tower ==
{| border=1 cellpadding=5 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|-
| '''<code><nowiki>{{userboxtop}}</nowiki></code>''' || ← the top

You left out the top and the bottom. (You had a bunch of extra spaces in there.) That's what I fixed. Hope this helps! Oh, one last thing...

Wiki grrl: /* Deletion */

{{talktobedeleted}}

==Deletion==

Personally, I think the contents of this article are obvious. I just don't think we need to note this on its own page. We also could move each thing to the characters' pages. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:13, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
:I'm afraid Bluebry's right. I support deletion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:14, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
::'''Delete''' or '''merge''', but do not keep. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:15, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Nice idea, but I'm for '''deletion'''. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
::::Agree'd. With the info we provide, people should be able to figure this out for themselves. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I am the creator of this article. Could you please move the page to my user page as in "UserPages:Wiki grrl" or something?

:No, I believe it's against the subpage rules. (If you want it moves to something in your userspace, then you would use subpages.) {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:22, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Wiki grrl, please don't take this vote personally. We all have spent hours on things which were eventually deleted. This is not a vote on you, or on how hard you worked on this page, but on the value of this page to the wiki. I'm afraid that my opinion is that while it is interesting, it's not needed, and that would be my opinion no matter who made it. Please don't let it discourage you from contributing to the wiki. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:34, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

:Agreed, Qermaq. I'm more subject to a '''deletion''' than a merge, here. {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 23:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Its okay. I consider your hard efforts to help the wiki as well as mine. I copied and pasted it to my user page. I will continue contributing to the wiki! Could you give me ideas for other articles?--Wiki grrl 23:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

:'''Move to user subpage.''' Why can't this be moved to her user space? I know she copied it to her user page, but what's wrong with a subpage? In my opinion this serves the project quite well. I believe we should ''encourage'' academic essays such as this in the user space. (Note that ''in no way'' would I want such essays to be fanstuff.) She has clearly tried to follow good form here, with an introduction, development paragraphs, and a conclusion. These things are to be commended. Good prize! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
::I do believe that it should be a user subpage, but, It is in the "guidelines". [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|This]] is where it said '''archives of already deleted pages'''. I'm fine with it being a subpage, but it is against the user space guidelines. That, and it said '''Do not use component (nested) pages for content that could just as easily go on your main page.''' I'm pretty sure this is kinda like template and stuff like that, but, this can easily go on the User page. Sorry, Wiki grrl, it's not personal. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 00:15, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Bluebry: I believe you are interpreting the user space guidelines too narrowly. First of all, this page has never been deleted. Second, it attempts to be encyclopedic in content. It could even be considered a work in progress, which is certainly allowed. I'm also not sure it "just as easily" fits on her user page, given that it is an article. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
::::I knew you would say that first one. Well, why do we need a subpage of it if it's an article? It has to be deleted or rejected as HRWiki content before we subpage it, or it'd just be a waste. That, and Wiki grrl's comment below of "delete it ASAP" and the number of people for the deletion of this article say that. 2: A work in progress means it will be released back into the wiki one day. If we have deleted it, we will probably delete it again, and if it REALLy needs work done to it, mark it with the cleanup tag. In fact, moving it to a subpage would be more of a hassle really unless we take the options above (as I see it, at least). Secondly, '''Do not use component (nested) pages for content that could just as easily go on your main page.''' HRWiki:User space said it, I repeated it, and I'm doin' it again. This is just fine where it is on Wiki grrl's User page. Also, may I ask the reason you ''must'' have this article as a subpage? My reason for all of these replies (or seilper, if you will) is to enforce the guidlines on [[HRWiki:User space]]. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 00:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I vote do not delete. Like It's Dot Com said, it is complety right! It is a nice project, and deserves to stay. Please keep it. New users who do not know a lot about the simalarities of the two can learn from this! KEEP IT!

You're my least favorite admin ever.
:Well, <s>''Bubsty''</s> (I was close. See below), one of the things you learn as an admin is that you can't please everybody all the time. I am, however, open to constructive criticism, so I'm a little disappointed that you didn't give me any more to go on than that one line. Or that you didn't at least sign your name. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
::What? Did Bubsty write that? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 20:37, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Indeed. ''EDIT: Actually, his sister said that it was she who wrote the comment.'' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::::Or perhaps somebody from his computer or something. He did [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Da_Basement&diff=prev&oldid=241561 refer to Bubsty in the third person]... {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::How did this person edit da Basement? Didn't you block him for 3 days, TBird? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:35, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::Yes, he did, but I unblocked the IP, since the edit wasn't trolling or vandalism. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::I see. And in response to Thunderbird's comment: I don't know that third person is really evidence it wasn't he; he could have been covering his tracks. What ''does'' baffle me, however, is that that IP wrote false information about Bubsty's guestbook being gone, when in fact Bubsty himself removed the deletion tag from his guestbook, something one would think Bubsty would know. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:14, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Haha, I just mentioned that point a minute ago. But on IRC- I didn't bother updating my theory here. Thanks for pointing that out. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::That was me! Not Erik! And he told me he left the wiki, so I thought he had deleted his guestbook too. [[User:Thekillerdynamo|Thekillerdynamo]] 04:03, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::<nowiki>*</nowiki>Sigh*. So much for me leaving. Seems I have some explaining to do. Some things to clear this whole thing up:
::::::::::First off, I '''''DID NOT''''' write that comment above. I recently showed Sarah the comment you left on my user talk page a while ago telling me to stop using the list of users list to welcome people. Although I really didn't care that much about what you had written, she seemed to think of it as rude and insulting. I assume that comment was her "blowing off steam".
::::::::::It seems Dot Com thinks Thekillerdynamo is me. If you still have any questions about this whole thing, ''please'' tell me. I'll try to explain it.
::::::::::Finally, I'm really sorry (not to mentioned embarrased), that this whole thing happened. I'll '''try''' to have something like this ''never'' happen again. (Depends if a certain family member agrees).
::::::::::Sincerely,
::::::::::{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 04:22, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::Well, as you can see below, all I knew for sure was that the edits were coming from your house. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:21, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
You do a lot on this wiki, but you're mean to the young people here. 10, 11, 12, and 13 year olds shouldn't have to act like a 28-year-old!
Can't you just be a ''bit'' nicer? I think more people would like you then.
Please; I'm not trolling - although I did blank your talk page. But that was so you would see this easier.
If you revert it (which I'm sure you will) can you at least think about being ''nicer''?
Once again, sorry for messing up your talk page. Just please read. Thanks! [[User:24.18.208.18|24.18.208.18]] 04:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
:PS: I think you're still a good admin. Just show some commen sense. (Of course, I should talk; Look who's about to get themselves blocked!)
:PPS: Oh, and about my first edit on this page; I admit that was me. But that was back when I didn't know what a wiki was and didn't know who you were. You ''aren't'' my least favorite admin ever. In fact, you're one of my favs! If you want to block me for that, go ahead; I deserve it.
::Why don't you log in so we can discuss this. Talking through an IP address isn't the kind of conversation we should be having. I'm not going to block you. If I wanted to block you, I would have blocked your IP a long time ago. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Ok, I made a user. [[User:That One User|That One User]] 06:29, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
::::I don't mean make a sockpuppet, I mean log in as yourself. You have obviously been around for a bit for you to hold the opinion you do, and, looking closely, you are either Bubsty or, at the very least, someone inside his house. So, c'mon now, Erik, Sarah, whoever... log in for real if you actually want to talk. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::How did you know? [[User:Thekillerdynamo|Thekillerdynamo]] 00:49, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::Hang on now, let me make sure I have this right... You're telling me that someone who has [[Special:Contributions/Thekillerdynamo|18 total contributions]] (as of this writing, none of which are in the article namespace) and to whom the only thing [[User talk:It's dot com/These Peoples Try to Fade Me#Hi_from_Thekillerdynamo|I've ever said]] is "Welcome to the wiki, Sarah! Ask your brother to show you how to sign your name," would suddenly and for no apparent reason get so annoyed with me as to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:It%27s_dot_com&diff=240812&oldid=240757 put this] on my page? I'm sorry, but that just doesn't add up. Perhaps you could explain yourself a little... or come clean. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Seems odd right? Actully, I've just seen what you've said to other people (like the thing) and what you said to Bubsty that one time. That was why I said "you're my least favorite admin ever". When you said that thing about user welcoming... something like that. But I'm not mad anymore. [[User:Thekillerdynamo|Thekillerdynamo]] 04:01, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::: Oh, okay then. Please allow me to speak to your points: Occasionally messages must be posted that are stern because it's urgent that the message be understood. (In the case of the message I sent your brother, it was because of the fact that edit summaries can't be changed, and so we have to be careful what we put in them.) I do try, however, never to be insulting, and as I said way back when, I do apologize if he took it that way. Also, I have nothing against young users, and I will happily give assistance to anyone who needs it (just have a look around this talk page). It should be noted that several of our exceptional users, including a sysop, are quite young, relatively speaking. Even though actual age doesn't matter, I don't see anything wrong with expecting a certain level of maturity from our users, once they've had a chance to get the hang of things. The wiki, after all, is not a toy. I think BazookaJoe put it quite well in his message to The thing when he talked about what [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:The_thing&oldid=242251 the purpose] of this wiki is.

:Depends on several things. Why do you ask? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::I wanna be one. {{User:The thing/sig}} 16:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Really? How come? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::::I want to be a sysop. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 16:31, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::Right. You just said that. I'm asking why you want to be a sysop. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::Because I want to be able to: Block, Delete, Edit special pages... all the stuff sysops can do. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 16:48, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Why do you want to be able to do all those things? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::I can't really explain it but I know stuff that should be done that no one has done. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 16:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::Well, ''try'' to explain. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::I know stuff that should be done that no one has done. Like people that should of been blocked pages that needed deletion plus I want to help the wiki as much as I can. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 17:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::Who needs to be blocked? Which pages need deletion? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::Well there gone now but there used to be some. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 17:15, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::::What's gone? The people, or the pages? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:17, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::::If there is a person abusing the Wiki, or a page that doesn't have any need, there are ways of alerting sysops even if you're not one (add abusers to [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]] and add the "tobedeleted" template to bad pages.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:19, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::Both are gone but the main reason I want to be a sysop is so I can help the wiki as much a possible. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 17:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::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. Until then, keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:45, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::::::::::Darn --{{User:The thing/sig}} 19:15, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

To The Thing: Personally, I'd love to be able to do all those things as well, but being given a position of power doesn't come free - [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig|You just gotta ''earn'' it!]] And to It's dot com: I found this whole conversation quite amusing. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps there should be a page devoting to answering the question "How do I become a sysop?" I see it asked a LOT. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 01:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
:Perhaps part of the FAQ? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:57, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

::I really liked your idea, KieferSkunk, and decided to '''be bold''' and add it myself. It's composed mainly from the large paragraph above, but also from the talk section it links to, and my personal knowledge. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 02:34, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

:::'''It's dot com:''' Yada yada yada sysop yada yada trust yada seniority yada yada yada edits yada yada yada long speech yada yada... 
:::'''The thing:''' Darn 
{{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 01:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC) P.S. No offense to either of you. I just found that funny.
::::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. It means a butteload of ''work'', and a commitment to a certain amount of involvement and responsibilities. It's like the Spiderman thing (you know, "With great power...). (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. In other words, you ''already'' have the power for the single biggest part of wiki-helping that goes on. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::Nevermind I'm a sysop on [http://weirdal.wikicities.com/ My own wiki] now. But it would still be cool to be one. {{User:The thing/sig}} 21:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

== i'm back ==
hey, it's dot com. i just got unblocked this morning. i want to say you did the right thing, and that now i will probably be spending less time on the wiki, so when i get blocked the next time it won't suck so bad. ah well. anyway, like i said, you did the completely right thing, and i hope you become an admin for what you did. thanks.
p.s. if i get blocked another time, please make it indefinite. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 14:02, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

:um....[[User: Yeltensic]] just made a rude remark on the guestbook discussion page, and you should check it out. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 14:55, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

::I am aware of it and have posted comments. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

:::good. that was just plain crude. if he pulls some stunt like that again just because [[User: Darth Katana X|Darth Katana X]] told him to, i suggest you block him. look on yeltensic's talk page if you don't know what i am talking about. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 15:06, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Well I found out about the discussion from Darth, but I didn't "pull some stunt like that" because Darth told me to, he didn't tell me to do that. So leave Darth out of it, he didn't do anything (well maybe he did, but if so it was unrelated). [[User:Yeltensic|Yeltensic]] [[User talk:Yeltensic|Save the guestbooks]] 21:21, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::I apoligize. I now understand. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 23:01, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

== That image ==

Just so you know, the reason I restored that image for "[[It's like it was meant to be]]" is just because Homestar Coder and Abdi both expressed their support for it and I felt that the person who removed it was acting rather unilaterally. I don't mind its removal as much if there's actually someone else who agrees about removing it, though. Anyway, keep on tranglin'. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:17, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, and Thunderbird has added a different image. Maybe this one will work well? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
::I don't have a super-strong opinion that page, but the first image just didn't seem to fit, in my opinion. I did have an idea, though (the Wagon Fulla Pancakes). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:18, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I'd say the same about not having a super-strong opinion; I just wanted to see things done fairly. (I try not to be too committed to my own ideas around the wiki. I find it only leads to disappointment when your edit gets reverted or your Fun Fact gets crushingly declined in STUFF. Not to mention you get along in the community better if you just go with the flow and be ready to get REVERT'd a few times, eh?) And yeah, I saw your new idea, and I think it's hilarious. "Rondelman, you crack me up! Crack! Me! Up! That's why you're my doge!" Anydangway, talk atcha later! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:30, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

== CAPTCHA ==

I wanted to know what you did to get CAPTCHA up and running on 1.5.6. I stopped by the IRC channel & was told to ask you about it. :) On freenode, I am earthsound (registered user). Also, you can reach me at gmail.com (same user name).
Thanks!
:(He and I spoke via the chat channel, and the gist of the discussion was that I was not the author of the software, just an assistant implementor, and I directed him to the software author. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:41, 25 January 2006 (UTC))

== The ongoing saga ==
um, someone left a message on my talk page stating that it was weird that trendy totebag did not sign on while i was blocked. i know i may be wrong, but i suspect the anonymous user was, well, you know enough to figure it out. the writing, the splling....it's all the same. you probably can't match the ip addresses, but i would like it if you did. or he just didn't leave a sig, and you can check the contribs. thank you. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 21:57, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
:Um, there's really no mystery, since he was logged in when he made that edit. I have taken care of it. *sigh* — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, you must be tired of our bickering. It seems i am stupid enough to not stop until i get blocked, so i guess i deserved to be. '''ah well.''' {{User:Seriously/sig}} 00:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
:::I don't mean to rub it in, but EIGHT MINUTES?! Nice, real nice. Eight min. is all it takes to get blocked. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 01:03, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

== Has Matt? ON WHEELS! ==

Thanks for clearing up all those page moves on my user space. I seriously was actually ''laughing'' the whole time it was happening. I think my userpage had at least 12 "ON WHEELS!" in the page title. My first time being WoW'd. Ever. Well, anyway, thanks a lot! {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 04:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
:No probalo. :) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
::Wow! someone must really like you! Ooo! ooo! Here's an idea (stemming from our basement discussion that should really go there but i'm sure the discussion has been archived): use the Captcha (ok maybe it's not such as hot of an idea now that i see the page move history) for making moves for all users (since we move pages seldom). But i guess these moves ''were'' done manually! Interesting. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:21, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Actually, I believe the CAPTCHA image is used in move processes for all users. I had to use it. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

== .swf decompiler ==

Where did you find a .swf decompiler? Stuntman021

:I use [http://www.eltima.com/products/flashdecompiler/ Flash Decompiler] by Eltima. 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)
:That's okay. Just remember to wait a couple of minutes between postings if you think that might be happening. :) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:35, 1 February 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.

== 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)

== 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.

== 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)

::::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)

== 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.

: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)

:::::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)

:::::::::::::::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.

== 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.

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)

:::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)

::::::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. (That is the idea of a wiki, you know.) {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 00:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

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

:That was not Tbird. Look [here]. The editor's IP starts with a 6. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
::Thunderbird is not at home, so the IP address would be different. It could still be him, but I would like him to log in if possible. If he can't log in at the convention, he'll figure something out or log in when he gets home later tonight. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:::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)
::::We didn't block the IP. There are several reasons why he might not have been able to log in (if the computer he was using didn't accept cookies, for example). I think the edits by the IP match TBird's style, but I'm being cautious for now. I'm patient; if I have to I can wait for him to get home to confirm. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:01, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll get a writeup started tomorrow night. For now, I've gotta be up in five and a half hours for work, so I'm going to bed. '''EDIT:''' Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention on IRC.

: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.

== 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)

:::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)

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)

{
var href = document.location.href;
{
var historyHref = document.getElementById( "ca-history" ).firstChild.href;
var div = document.getElementById( "p-cactions" );

var newLi = document.createElement( "li" );
var newA = document.createElement( "a" );
newA.setAttribute( "href" , historyHref.replace( "=history" , "=purge" ) );
var text = document.createTextNode( "Purge" );
newA.appendChild( text );
newLi.appendChild( newA );
ul.appendChild( newLi );
}
}
if ( window.addEventListener ) window.addEventListener( "load" , addPurgeButton , false );

== 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)
::I went ahead and STUFF'd it for you. You can have the next one. :) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey there Dot com, I just have a question about my [[User:DBK/userbox|userboxes]]. When I try to make it align to the left side, it only goes to the right. Then, when I put it in my about me section, it goes above my text so it looks weird. Do you know what to do? {{User:DBK/sig}} 04:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
:I tweaked it a bit, removing divs in certain spots and putting in some in other places. It was mostly trial and error, though. Maybe that will get you started. (I can't really say that all the scroll boxes make your page especially easy to read, but that's just my opinion.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah I realized that, I was pretty much experimenting with that stuff before. I got rid of some and just kept scroll buttons on the lists in my page, like my favorite music and cool users.

== Question ==

If I wanted to program a WikiBot, would it be HAVE to be in PHP, Python, or MySQL? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 22:27, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I'm pretty sure the answer there is yes in most cases, it's moot if you want to use one here. Only developers can run Wikibots. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::While that's true, Kookykman, he might asking in general. Sorry, Bluebry. I'm not the one to ask about bots. You might try Joey, Tom, Phlip, or even others. I'm much more content to hack the software from the inside rather than use a bot from the outside. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:42, 11 April 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]]. Again, thanks for your note, and welcome to the wiki! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:07, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

== Broken link ==

Just letting you know, the link near the bottom of your page that is supposed to lead to the discussion concerning the email blockquote styles is broken. That discussion was archived, so it should link to [[Talk:Strong Bad Email/Archive#New email format...]] instead. See ya! {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey there, It's dot com.
Homsarroks here. I just wanted to drop by and say hey and that you're cool.

{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 13:32, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Just out of curiosity, why did you revert my edits on the HR Wiki article on wikipedia? I tried to include the most important users on the wiki there (e.g. you, Tom, BazookaJoe, Some H*R Themed Username, etc.) and put accurate descriptions on what you did there. I'm not mad or anything, just a bit confused. Get back to me when you can. 

P.P.S. I left this message on your account on Wikipedia first, but I decided to put it on both your accounts so that you might get it sooner.

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)

Okay, I can understand that. THanks for the reply.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 22:07, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

:::Personally, I'd recommend putting the notice, or something like it, on the Main Page.

[[Image:homestar.PNG|thumb|Homestar Runner]]
<homsarquote>[[Image:homsarcharacter.PNG|thumb|left|]]</homsarquote>

'''[[Homestar]] and [[Homsar]]''' are very alike, but also different. This article compares and contrasts Homestar and Homsar.

Homestar and Homsar have a similar head shape, the same feet style, and shape of shirts. They both wear hats as well. They have the same style of eyes, and the color blue on their hat or shirt. Their face and legs are white, and they have no arms. In addition to not having any arms, it appears they have invisible arms. An example of this theory, are the items. Homestar carries a wooden spoon when he is on duty for his [[Homestarmy]]. Homsar's hat has been slid down, and slid back up by these "invisible" arms. Homestar and Homsar don't always make sense and have speech problems. They also get confused easily. Many more differences could be added to this list.

Homestar and Homsar have their differences as well. Homsar is shorter than Homestar. He only comes up to the bottom of Homestar's shirt. Homestar has his feet together when standing in place, but Homsar almost always had his feet apart. THe size of their heads are also different. Homsar wears his name on his shirt, but Homestar wears a shirt with a star on it. Homsar wears a bowler hat, as homestar wears a beanie. Homsar's hat is navy blue and red, but Homsar owns an orange hat. Homsar was created through a [[Strong Bad Email]], as Homestar was created by Matt and Mike. Homsar has been known to start sentences with "AaAaAaAaAa," but Homestar starts sentences as normally as he can. Therefore, Homsar is sometimes hard to understand. Homestar's feet face outward, but Homsar's feet face inward.

In conclusion, Homstar and Homsar appear very alike, but if you look closely, they are very different.

Their face and legs are white, and they have no arms. In addition to not having any arms, it appears they have invisible arms. An example of this theory, are the items. Homestar carries a wooden spoon when he is on duty for his [[Homestarmy]]. Homsar's hat has been slid down, and slid back up by these "invisible" arms. Homestar and Homsar don't always make sense and have speech problems. They also get confused easily. Many more differences could be added to this list.

Homestar and Homsar have their differences as well. Homsar is shorter than Homestar. He only comes up to the bottom of Homestar's shirt. Homestar has his feet together when standing in place, but Homsar almost always had his feet apart. THe size of their heads are also different. Homsar wears his name on his shirt, but Homestar wears a shirt with a star on it. Homsar wears a bowler hat, as homestar wears a beanie. Homsar's hat is navy blue and red, but Homsar owns an orange hat. Homsar was created through a [[Strong Bad Email]], as Homestar was created by Matt and Mike. Homsar has been known to start sentences with "AaAaAaAaAa," but Homestar starts sentences as normally as he can. Therefore, Homsar is sometimes hard to understand. Homestar's feet face outward, but Homsar's feet face inward.

In conclusion, Homstar and Homsar appear very alike, but if you look closely, they are very different.
