Hey, good call on that [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Ice_Cream&curid=1696&diff=476502&oldid=476438&rcid=431817 revert]. I want to point out [[Talk:Main Page#"rv; TTATOT"|this discussion]] where we thought about how best to express this. Maybe you saw it, if so I'm just being redundant.

== A Cool Person ==

Haldo there, Sam The Man. I made a [[User:Homestar-winner#Fairly Great Users|"cool people" list]] today, and I thoght I'd let you know that I put you on it. I think you are a good, helpful user to this wiki. Plus I liked when you made me your MVU. Eat a steak, {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:19, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
:Thank-you Homestar-winner. I am very happy. I'm on like 5 people's cool person list now. Thanks Again! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 12:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Can I be added to your Hall of Fame, in return for letting you use the design of my toolbox? Please pretty please with a glass of Melonade? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:22, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:Sure you can. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Hey sam, I also want to be on your hall of fame, i know i'm already on it, but can i be on it for a different reason, like somthing about my person of the week, or letting you be the homsarmy's coronel? i dunno, i'm just saying putting people on your cool list because they join your alliance is kinda weird.--{{User:Kanjiro/sig}} 00:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

== Cheese ==

If I'm anything, I'm a baseball player. But I'm also honest and I have to give credit to [[User:DeFender1031]] for making [[Cheese]]. I just cut it.

== Now that I think about it... ==

I do have a question. Or, alot of questions. 

1. How can I get an image from the regular wikipedia and make it an embedded image on my page?

2. How can I get a custom image from a toon? (Or a not so custom image.)

3. How can I get one o' thems Userboxes?

4. How did A-Rod improve so much in one season's length and do you think he's consistent enough to pass Hank Aaron?

5. Are 13 year-olds allowed to be admins? 

6. How do I get a signature? (Or sig. in abbrev.)

Also, you are my third "rockin' cool guy on the HRWiki". (Technically you're second but that's just the order.) 
[[User:SantanaHomerunner|SantanaHomerunner]] P.S. It's very bare on my page. Don't peek! I could use some ideas on how to fill it with crap.
:I will answer your questions. 
*1: On wikipedia, you click on the image that you want to upload, which we will bring to the image page. Then you right click on the image and click on "Save Image As..." and save at as the name you want your picture to be. Save it in the "Documents" section. On this wiki, click on "Upload Image" and when it says "Source Filename". Right next to it says "Browse". Click on that. Chose "Documents" (Judging if it already is in Documents) and double click on the image that you want. It will have the name of your settings + Documents setting in source filename and will have the name of the image below source filename. Write a little description (Optional) in Summery and click Upload and you have uploaded a wikipedia image! 
*2: First, see the toon or email you want at right at the screenshot you want press "Print Screen" and youi have an image waiting to be uploaded. The next step is optional with either MS Paint or Irfanview. To get Irfanview (which is what I use) [www.Google.com Google] Irfanviw. Then download it. You will now have a desktop thing saying Irfanviw looking like roadkill. (Pardon my foul words) Then click on the tab Edit on the Irfanviw desktop item then click Paste on it. Click and drag your mouse over the part of the picture you want and click on Edit again and select Crop Selection. Then click on Files then Save Image As... Do the same process you did for last part of uploading wikipedian images and you have uploaded a image!
*3: You might want to click on HRWiki:Userboxes on anybody's userbox tower and they kind of have a little totourial there.
*4: I guess A-Rod just practiced a lot.
*5: You will have to ask a sysop or admin for that answer.
*6: See [[Help:Signature]]
I hope that helped a lot for you. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:45, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

== Talk Posts ==

Hey, S to the M. Regarding [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:the_show&diff=next&oldid=479803 this edit]: we generally do not [[HRWiki:Talk page etiquette#General|edit the talk posts of other users]]. It's just a no-no. Instead, in that case you could have left a follow-up post with your link. Wiki's awesome, wiki's weird, and I'll never forget the way it was, girl. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 13:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

== Signature Help ==

Hey Sam,

I'm working on improving my userpage and my sig, and I was wondering: How do I make the picture in my sig link to my talkpage? If you're confused, I want it so someone can click on the Hot Wheels logo in my sig, and it will take them to my talkpage. Like when you click on the SB head in your sig, it links you to your talkpage. If/when you get an answer, post it on my talkpage.

Thanks,<br>
{{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}} 14:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
== Thanks ==

Hey man. Thanks for the awesome answers and the info. Here's my sig. {{User:SantanaHomerunner/sig}} It's simple, I know but that's how I roll. Also I made some new articles but I'm still just a bit confused with getting an image out of a toon. I  paused it and brought up the print menu but from there I'm having trouble. I got IrfanView by the way. So don't waste your time telling me what to do just yet because I'm pretty good at figuring stuff out. P.S. Everything is fine except getting the paused image to become a saved image. I'll try printing it to a file and I think it'll work.
:Alright I need help now. I tried it. It...did...not...work. {{User:SantanaHomerunner/sig}}
:I'm glad everything is going good for you. Oh, I forgot one thing. When you want the part of the toon in which you want the image, you hold down ''shift'' and at the same time print screen. Try that before you ask me another question. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 12:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

== Recent vandalism ==

Explain [[Special:Contributions/Samey the Maney|this]], please. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
:Sorray for the late rely. What do you mean explain this? I had nothing to do with that. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 18:27, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
::I have evidence showing you vandalizing as an anonymous user yesterday and immediately reverting what you'd done using your username. Then you thanked Trey56 when the IP you were using&mdash;the same IP you used to write the reply above&mdash;finally got blocked. This morning you created a vandal account. In the logs, I can see you switching from your real account to the one you just created. ''Right now'' is your chance to admit what you were doing. If you lie to me, it will only make this worse for you. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Your right! It was me! I just wanted to be noticed. After all, every popular wiki user has thier page vandalized once. I used the computer from my Mom's work for the IP Address and vandalized my page and ( I was being really stupid) your page to make it look like I was just vandalizing my page. Then next morning I was stupid enough to create a sockpuppet so I could vandalise my page and Has Matt kept reverting it so I made realilistic nd trolled his page again. I am sorry to you Dot Com, and sorry to you Has Matt, and everyone that looked up to me. I as only trying to experiment, I ment no harm. But what I did was wrong. Punish me, I deserve it. From the wiki user formally known as Sam the Man.
::::Well, I appreciate that you owned up to what you did. Because you admitted it, we are only going to block you for one week instead of longer. I know the desire to fit in is a strong motivator, but we obviously can't have people going around vandalizing, no matter the reason. Even if you hadn't gotten caught, would that box on your user page really have been satisfying, anyway? In the back of your mind, you'd always know it's fake. I hope the lesson you learn from all this is that the wiki is not a toy. If you want to be recognized for your contributions, then you must do so in a constructive and positive manner. See ya after the [[flashback]]! &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::In regards to all this... I would have one thing to say to you, Sam, (you know, this basically happened to me once long ago[ish]) and that is to NEVAH MESS WIT' DA BIG DOGS!  You will never get away with it.  So now, just suck it up, and breathe anew..... --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 15:32, 26 July 2007 (UTC) BTW, if you want more apologies, I forgive you.  P.S.S. Dot Com is a genius.

== Moving ==

You moved [[X Had the Ball at the Top of the Key]] to [[Top Of The Key]] claiming that it had been "decided on the talk page". 2 comments is hardly a consensus. Please wait for a bit more before you take such a large action. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:49, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

{{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 00:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
:I don't really get any of the names? Plus, if we join forces that means there will be no more homsarmy, strong bad alliegence, or cheat commandoes, we would just be one big super group.--{{User:Kanjiro/sig}} 01:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Good point.How a bout we Just call ourselves the On point Kings?I like that lots!

{{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 01:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

:That still makes no sense. And also when you punctuate a sentence like this. place a space after the period or whatever, not like this here.You see? --{{User:Kanjiro/sig}} 01:09, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
::Sorry. Force of habit. Fine We'll make a new name. If we can think of any. How about the Big super group? It's just like you said. That's what we are. {{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 01:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Also when you reply on a talk page you put a colon at the beginning of your sentence to indent, and if some body indents before you, you put two colons, so on and so forth. --{{User:Kanjiro/sig}} 01:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC) ps- I fixed you sentence up a little.
::::Fine. Is this good? Now,  about the name. What do you think about it? {{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 01:36, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Well, no, you want to put your sig right after your sentence and not below your sentence.--{{User:Kanjiro/sig}} 01:41, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

:::::::::Oh, that, what I'm trying to say is that i didn't want our groups to fuse when i said join forces, i just wanted our groups to be friends and like, fight evil or something together.--{{User:Kanjiro/sig}} 01:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

== Filmography pages ==

Hey there, Sam. I noticed you're hard at work making filmography pages for many of the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes characters from [[mini-golf]]. But the necessity of those filmographies is currently [[Talk:Main Page#Filmography Pages|pending discussion]], so you may need to stop. Don't undo your work because we may end up accepting the new pages, but just as a precaution, you should wait for the discussion to come to consensus first. Talk atcha later, &mdash; {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 12:22, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
:I've only made one Filmography page for Sweet Cuppin' Cakes. It's The Wheelchair. I craeted it before you had that discussion on the Main Page. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 12:24, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

== [[User:DeFender1031/Character Relationships]] ==

I just noticed you fixed one of the links for me. Thanks! Feel free to do so in the future. Just so you know, every link on there would need 2 fixes, because each link appears twice. Trangle it onward! <small>(or something)</small> {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:35, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

== Substituting templates ==

Hey Sam. It's good that you finally substituted your welcome template, but now you need to remove "Note: This not in use anymore. Please understand not to delete." from all of those pages and put two &lt;/div>s at the end of your welcome to close the formatting.

Hi, Sam, thanks for making those FA writeups. If you do more, don't forget that you need to include a link to the article at the bottom with the text '''(more...)''' like I've done [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Featured_article_for_2007%2C_week_41%2C_day_2&curid=37998&diff=503305&oldid=503081 here].

::Don't forget in the future to always give a reason for your revert; just "no" doesn't really explain it sufficiently. Have a good day. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:25, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

== Message ==

Hi, Sam: the message you have on your userpage in big letters taunting vandals isn't helpful to the wiki. Such messages are likely only to egg vandals on, not stop them. The best way to handle vandals is to revert them and, beyond that, to ignore them. I'd ask you to consider removing that message. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:29, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

===Da Iron Cup Award!===
[[Image:Iron cup of Brunswick Stew.jpg|thumb]]
Hey, Sam. I saw you've been making tons of good edits, like creating [[Europa-pean Lobster]], [[Trog-Cave]], and all those other pages you created. So, I wanted to award you (drumroll...) '''THE IRON CUP OF BRUNSWICK STEW'''.
<blockquote>This award, the first on HRWiki, is given to recognize good contributions and to let people know that their hard work is seen and appreciated. It was given to [[The Cheat]] by [[Strong Bad]] for his good work on [[New Boots]].</blockquote>
Keep up the awesome work, Sam! {{User:Dr._Clash/sig}} 23:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

== Uploading new versions of old files ==

What up, Sam? I just want to point out that there is a link on every Image page that says, "Upload a new version of this file." You can use that to upload an improved version of the same image without changing the name of the image (and creating duplicate images). Also, make sure you check the [[Special:Log/upload|upload log]] before uploading an image of a new shirt, toon, etc. Thanks man. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 17:48, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

== Welcome page ==

There are a few problems with your [[User:Sam the Man/welcome|welcome page]]. First off, you have one too many }'s at the end of it making the end say<br>
<code>{{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)}</code><br>
Second of all, you need a </div> at the end of your template. Not having one causes a few problems. See ya round,<br>
{{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 21:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
:Thirdly, we don't use canned welcomes anymore, that's why we have the autolinks thing. We do more personalized welcomes these days. In short, please don't use it anymore. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
::You actually need two &lt;/div>s. I also think that this canned template needs to go. "Play your cards right and maybe you'll become a sysop too"? That's nonsense. And the fact that you leave <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> visibile in the wikicode seems very impersonal to me. If you want to give a welcome, then take a minute each time and actually ''write'' one. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:53, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[[User_talk:DIZZYZAP478|Good job]], Samstray. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:47, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey Sam, good job with the new welcoming scheme, it's improved a lot. I'd like to say that you could make it even better by making them more personal. I've seen the same welcome message from you on several users' pages, and I think it would be more appropriate if you were to type a new message for each, based on the person. Like... for example, you could welcome [[User:TheGirl]] with something like "hey, now Marzipan's not the only girl!" or something cute like that. Something personal will make people feel a lot more encouraged than they would from just a generic message (after all, we could just have the bot put up a generic message). I've seen your creativity at work many times, so why don't you go ahead and use it for welcoming people as well? Wouldn't you feel more welcomed with a message saying "Everybody says you're the man, I want to be the man too!" than you would with just "welcome to the wiki, I'm your guide, here's my talk page"? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:12, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

::Yo, you're doing a great job with the welcoming, one final piece of advice, i think you took me a bit too litterally. It doesn't always have to be about their name... you could wait a bit and see what kind of edits they make, comment on that, or look at their user page, you know change it up a bit, do a bit more than just one line about the name and "here's my talk page" you know? you don't have to just follow the same pattern every time, you can really be creative. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Sam, please stop posting on Rinop's talk page. His response to you may not have been the most polite, but pestering him isn't going to help. If I were you, I'd just move on and not worry about it. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:24, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
:Sam, when a sysop tells you to stop, that means stop. It doesn't mean keep posting on the other user's page. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:25, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
::Okay Trey56 and It's dot com. I'll stop. If vandalizes my page, block him. He's personally attacking me after I'm try to help him/her. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 22:26, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Sam, if someone doesn't respond well to a welcome, then you need to back off&mdash;immediately. I know you wanted to explain yourself to that new user, but it wasn't helping. You're coming across as too pushy. People who are interested in having a custom signature will ask about it in their own time, at their own pace. You don't need to force it on them. We need you to be less of the in-your-face car salesman and more like the nice person at the reference desk at the library. You know, the one who politely answers your questions if you have any but otherwise stays completely out of your way. I know you're trying to help, and I appreciate that, but before you do more welcoming I think you need to think about how you can be more tactful. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:45, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
::::So that's what I'll work on. Thanks It's dot com! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 22:48, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

:Sam, in this case, it's very important that you not post on Rinop's talk page, under any circumstances.

===Warning===
Let me make this perfectly clear: Your interaction with Rinop has become disruptive. Do not edit his talk page (or any of his user space) unless a sysop gives you permission. Do not ask for permission. In fact, you are advised to ignore Rinop altogether. Failure to heed this warning will result in a block. Thanks for understanding.

Hi, sam the man. You posted recently on my talk page, something like editing with a wiki account... I didn't quite understand.

== "Last warning" ==

Hey there! I noticed that comment you left on the annony's talk page. I just wanted to point out that the user's edits, while inappropriate for the wiki, were not vandalism as such. When somebody leaves comments on talk pages like those, it is better to direct them to the forum, since it appears he has misunderstood the purpose of the Wiki. Also, you really ought not to say things like "last warning" and "you will be blocked", since you have no blocking power yourself. Sysops are there to make the call on when a user is blocked.
