== Language ==

Hi. You're free to clear your Talk page, but the use of inappropriate language on a Talk page isn't permitted. See [[HRW:TALK]] for more info on talk pages. Thanks! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

== Tags on your userpage ==

Hi, i noticed that you have a lot of tags such as {{tl|stub}} and {{tl|cleanup}} on your userpage. It's usually fine to have things that LOOK like those templates, but the problem is that now your page is appearing in many of the important categories that the community monitors. Please remove the tags, or if you still want them there but are unsure of how to make it look like they're there without including the category, feel free to ask me for help. Talk atcha later! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:38, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
:Okay, man. I have no idea how to change these templet things. I didn't think they were killing anyone. Thanks 4 the info ;)
::Yup, DeFender's right &mdash; I went ahead and removed them to take your page out of the mainspace categories. As he said, you're welcome to put boxes that look like these templates on your user page as long as they don't include the categories. Best, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Okay, i put them there without the categories for you. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Thanks, man. I have no idea on how to do dat stuff. Plus I never wrote these down =S
:::::No problem, also, we generally tend to keep discussions in one place, like i did here, and if you put 4 tildas after a talk post (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) you'll put your name and a link to your page with a timestamp. It helps keep track of who said what when. Like this right here: {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::Actually, they're called tildes.  Just wanted to clarify.  =]  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
:I {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:MichaelXX2&diff=563354&oldid=563345 removed}} some more templates from your user page that were putting your page into categories. Remember, if you're going to put these on your page, make sure to copy and paste the code minus the categories rather than including the templates directly. Best, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

== Insults ==
Hey, just to let you know, the wiki standards don't permit [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:The_Li%27l_Brudder_Show&oldid=561842#Where.27d_this_come_from this]. Please don't throw out insults at other users, even if they don't know what something is, and you do. That's what the wiki is for. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


== Using Show Preview ==
[[Image:Show preview.png|539px|thumb|That one]]
Hello MichaelXX2, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded. Thanks, {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:38, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
:Okay, I'll use it, but I thought it was lame at first.
:Ha Ha
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching. 
::Really, please use Show Preview.  All of your edits are just flooding [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]], which doesn't help anyone.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 16:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
:::I added the image, for your convenience. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:26, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

== Observations ==

Hey man. A couple things I've got to bring up to you. First, I wanted to say that, looking at your [[Special:Contributions/MichaelXX2|contributions]], that you've made some good edits. For example, I think that {{t|commentary}} is a good idea, and it's great when you clean up errors around the wiki (e.g., {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Onomatopoeia&diff=prev&oldid=562353}}).

That said, there are a few things you need to be aware of.
#Personal attacks such as {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=563576}} are completely unacceptable.
#Random testing in articles (e.g. {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=senior_prom&curid=23493&diff=561466&oldid=561465}}) and moving articles to random titles ({{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Making_of_Email_100&diff=prev&oldid=560176}}) is considered vandalism.
#You seriously need to stop including templates with categories on your user page. Right now, for example, your user page is listed among the mainspace pages people see when they want to read [[:Category:Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|articles about SBCG4AP]]. If you didn't understand my instructions about [[User talk:Trey56#Put them back please|how to include them on your page without the categories]], then you should take them off altogether.

I'm going through the trouble of mentioning these things because I see that you've made some good edits and I'd like to see you contribute positively to the wiki. If you choose to ignore these things, however, please understand that your account may be blocked. Thanks for understanding, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

:Hello. I've blocked your account for 1 day to cut short the flooding of recent changes. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

==Flooding==
Please stop flooding [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]].  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 01:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
:Michael, what you did was disruptive. You repeatedly added and removed the letter P from your user talk page. Such edits can't possibly improve your talk page, and they flood recent changes, something you've been warned in the past not to do. Then, after OptimisticFool rightly warned you, you just kept doing it. That's why Trey56 was right to block you. 
:If you wish to contribute to our knowledge base, I suggest you follow the advice people give you on your talk page. If you are disruptive again, you can expect to be blocked again for longer. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:07, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

== sig length ==

{{sigbox|User:MichaelXX2/sig}} Your sig is too long again. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:54, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:In addition, there's no reason to have a separate subpage for your halloween sig. please save its data and mark it for deletion. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:58, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
::Sorry. I'm really going all over the place and I need to finish the sig... I'll put the {tbd} template on stat! {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}
I hope you realize that your pending [[HRWiki:Changing_username#MichaelXX2|username change]] (assuming it gets approved) will really limit you on what you can add to your sig next to your name.  Just the name itself {{sigbox raw|Homestar VS. Yoshi}} fits okay, but your "Talk to me" ain't gonna fit .. especially with your image, if you decide to keep it.  Something to keep in mind.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Like DeFender1031, I just plan to have it like this:

[[Image:HomestarPotion-ma-jig.png|12px|Aww-wiiiight!]] '''[[User:MichaelXX2|<span style="color:#FF8000;">H</span><span style="color:#000000;">o</span><span style="color:#FF8000;">m</span><span style="color:#000000;">e</span><span style="color:#FF8000;">s</span><span style="color:#000000;">t</span><span  style="color:#FF8000;">a</span><span style="color:#000000;">r</span> <span style="color:#FF8000;">VS.</span> <span style="color:#000000;">Y</span><span style="color:#FF8000;">o</span><span style="color:#000000;">s</span><span style="color:#FF8000;">h</span><span style="color:#000000;">i</span>]]'''''&mdash;'''''[[User  talk:MichaelXX2|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span><span style="color:#0066FF;">a</span><span style="color:#FF0000;">l</span><span style="color:#0066FF;">k</span>]]'''''

It goes out a bit, but do you think it'll work?

I don't think I'm going to be Homestar VS. Yoshi any time soon :.(..

== Going back to an old version of a page ==

Easier than undoing all the way back, just hit History, select the version you want to go back to, and then Edit-save that version. Less impact on Recent Changes and easier for you. Just a little tip. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:I tried, but it just said that it couldn't, because of conflicting intermediate edits or something... {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}
::That's where you have to note the intermediate conflicts and resolve them. Routine. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:42, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Oh. Thanks! {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}

== Take It Easy ==

Take it easy, guy.  No one is abursing you, there are just some things that aren't done.  We're just trying to keep the wiki clean by having appropriate subpages and sig lengths.  I really do hope there are no hard feelings..  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 03:45, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks... I was just felling a little depressed last night. Like I did a few months ago with [[Template:Commentary|this]]. But I'm over it, i just really wish I knew a place where I could get the codes for colors, like #000000 or something. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}
:[http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html Try this] - or search for hex color. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:45, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
::Bless all you people. Thank you! {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}

== Talk page edit ==

Hey there, MichaelXX2. I noticed you recently left a message on [[User talk:98.227.0.180]] that was rather inappropriate. Articles that are up for deletion will be dealt with on a per-article basis, and problems with MediaWiki syntax can be directed to [[Help:Content]]. Also, while creating an account gives users an identity, it is by no means required or necessary. Do consider these points in the future. &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:16, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== Requesting Name changes ==

Hi MichaelXX2,

Please understand that [[HRWiki:Changing username]] was created as a courtesy by the admins for us wiki users.  They are under no obligation to fulfill our requests under any time frame, if at all. Bothering the administrators with constant messages will not speed up the process and will only serve to disrupt the wiki.  You should keep this in mind whenever making edits.  Whenever your request is looked at, you will get a response. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:07, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:In addition, my suggestion to bug more people was sarcastic, and i apologize if you misunderstood and thought that it was the correct way to go about it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:23, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
::Oho, no prob, man. I just ''really'' want my user name to be Homestar VS. Yoshi, and no one that can change a user name has been in the page for months... Should I just make new account? No, I can't. It's too close to someone's other username blee blah bloo blick bleck... {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 20:26, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:::No, creating a new account would be creating what we call a sockpuppet. It's not allowed on this wiki. Also, I believe that it's unlikely that your username will actually be changed, as you are a prolific editor and you are relatively well known as MichaelXX2. Changing your name would probably confuse other editors. But it's not my decision to make, it's just a heads-up.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:03, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:::The first thing you should do is learn how to be patient. As was previously stated, pestering other users is unlikely to help your case. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:25, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== Haiku Central ==

Hey there, MichaelXX2, your page [[User:MichaelXX2/The Haiku Central]] does not meet the [[HRWiki:User space|user space]] guidelines. Please have a look at the guidelines what is OK and what is not. And please add the {{t|delete}} template to the page so a sysop can delete it. Thanks,{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:53, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== MP3s ==

MichaelXX2, please stop advertising making mp3s from homestarrunner toons. This does not sound like fair use and is probably not legal. You are also spamming talk pages advertising your services, which is not cool. Post like [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Happy_Dethemberween&curid=39802&diff=596699&oldid=596697&rcid=554998 this one] are also not OK. Thanks for understanding.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 17:26, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
:I'm sorry. I won't advertise any more, but I will continue my service if I'm asked for an mp3. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 17:40, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
::Please don't do that on the wiki.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 17:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
:::MichaelXX2, when I asked you to not [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:MichaelXX2&diff=prev&oldid=596726 do this] on the wiki, I really meant it. Seriously, it's not what the wiki is about, and it might actually get us into trouble. TBC are very lenient with the wiki regarding copyright. We try hard to not only respect their work but also their copyright. A part of this commitment is that we don't extract songs from their toons and make them available online. Again, this wiki aims at ''documenting'' the work of TBC. Please remove the links from your user page and support us in our cause. Thank you very much.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:32, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Thanks heaps, dude.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:38, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

== Awesome People ==

Not trying to sound like snob, but how did I fall off of the table? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 21:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
:I don't think I kicked you off the table... {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:14, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
::Whoops, I'm sorry! You're back on it. I might have just lost your sig somewhere along the line of adding the table. The only person I've kicked off so far is [[User:It's Dot Com|Dot Com]]. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:17, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

== you forgot something in my sig ==

check out [[user talk:Homsarstrongbad150#you_forgot_something_in_my_sig]] to find out what (and continue the conversation there)

{{User:Homsarstrongbad150/sig}} 02:09, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

hey, why don't you watch my talk page so i don't have to keep coming back here every time i want to comment on my cool new sig.  good idea?  i'm also watching yours so you can change here if you're feelikg lazy (although, if it has to do with me, i want it on my page)

THanks {{User:Homsarstrongbad150/sig}} 02:25, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
::I am watching it. I'm a Recent Changes Patrol Officer. I see everything. And by the way, leave a space in between your post and your sig. It really messed up that time... {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 02:32, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
::::i saw it and i fixed it.  why come it did that?

{{User:Homsarstrongbad150/sig}} 02:33, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

== Personal images ==

Hello, Michael. Please note that our [[HRW:PI|personal image policy]] allows users only two large images plus one sig image, and you currently have four large images: [[:Image:HomestarVS.Yoshiwelcome.png]], [[:Image:Homestar_Vs._Yoshi.png]], [[:Image:Homestarfish.png]] and [[:Image:MichaelXX2welcome.png]]. Therefore, I'll need you to mark two of them for deletion, please. Thanks for your cooperation. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:41, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
:Thank you for complying so quickly. Carry on, sir. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:56, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
::No problem. I'm an agreeable kind of guy. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 02:59, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

== User Pages ==

Hey there, MichaelXX2, as you [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Saddy_Dumpington&diff=prev&oldid=596761 know], it's not allowed to edit someone else's user page. So please don't do it again without the user asking you to do it. Thank you.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:12, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

== Welcoming ==

Once again, welcoming a user with a [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Reptrode&curid=44750&diff=596694&oldid=596651&rcid=554993 generic message] especially one with [[Special:Contributions/Reptrode|no contributions]] to base any personal greeting upon is not helpful. Please refrain from doing this in the future. Wait until someone has a few edits and has developed a personality, and then welcome with something warm, friendly, and specific to them. Thanks. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
:You're [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Marsmellow&diff=597087&oldid=573570&rcid=555394 still doing it]. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:37, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah...that's why we introduced the set message itself that automatically appears when a new user shows up to the wiki. Welcomes from other users usually help them out with something they seem to be having trouble with, telling them they're making very good contributions to the wiki, stuff like that. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 01:39, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Whoops. Sorry. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 01:40, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

== About IDC ==
Michael, this has gotten a little out of hand. Your constant remarks about It's Dot Com are getting old. You've been whining for a few days now about wanting your username changed, trying to make him or another sysop feel bad for you, and that's just plain ridiculous. He stated clearly that he wasn't going to change your username for a while, and he stands by that. If you really want him to trust you and change your username, you should start making more contributive edits to the wiki, instead of bashing him. On a side note, when you make a post on another article's talk page about something you suggest, its not un-normal for someone to not respond for a day or two. Don't keep editing the page in hopes that someone will catch your edits on the Recent Changes page and respond. Be patient. Thanks, {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:30, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
:I'm sorry. I'll start by finishing a transcript of something or something. (That's confusing.) {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:32, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

== [[HRWiki:Youth protection]] ==

Hey, as per the above linked page, please remove your email address from your user page. Thanks. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:14, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
:On second thought, i removed it myself. I still advise you read the above linked page to understand why. thanks. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:19, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

== On the contrary ==

I was not "making fun" of you on IRC. I think you did great work starting off the transcript. I just thought it was a bit funny that when you weren't sure of something, you typed what it sounded like instead of something like ''{unintelligible}'' or something. You can't deny that it IS sort of funny, can you? I meant no offense to you, none at all. Please forgive me. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:15, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

== Civility ==

Hey there, MichaelXX2, please don't call other editors names on your user page or anywhere else on this wiki. Thank you,{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
:Michael, seriously. I don't want to sound mean, but your acting a bit like a drama queen. You first don't seem to want to respond to any of these people that said they were joking, then you take them off your coolest people list even though you thought they were some of the best users on the wiki before today, what's next? Again, I don't want to sound rude, but please learn to take a joke, or as DorianGray put it "ribbing". {{User:DevonM/sig}} 00:40, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
::I&mdash; don't&mdash; care. Leave me alone. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 00:42, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

== Invisible comments ==

Hi there. The reason [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:MichaelXX2&diff=next&oldid=599272 this edit] broke your page is because you're typing "<nowiki><!-- comment --> {{clear}}</nowiki>" for invisible comments, when all you need is "<nowiki><!-- comment --></nowiki>". The "<nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki>" template does something else entirely, namely, it makes the page text continue only after all images (and userboxes) have been cleared, which is why it sent everything to the bottom of your userboxes. So:
:Clear:
:[[Image:Hug.PNG|thumb|A picture]]
:Blah blah blah blah blah...
:{{clear}}
:More blahs after the <nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki>.
:Invisible comment:
:<!-- Oh look, it's the SECRET text. -->
Hope that helps. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 05:03, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

== Personal Images ==

Hi there, MichaelXX2. As you know, you can only have two personal images plus one ''small'' signature image. You have three large images. Please tag one for deletion. Thanks.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:43, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

== cropped CZ picture? ==

Hey there, MichaelXX2. Why did you crop the picture of the [[:Image:New Coach Z Styles.PNG|new Coach Z design]]? The other design pictures of Coach Z don't have his feet cut off at the edges. Was it because Marzipan's dress was in the way? And, also, this makes it look pretty big/tall in the [[Coach Z Evolution]] table. {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 20:26, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

:no idea what your talking about holy crop, but mike is blocked still, i think, so he couldn't've done it.  <!--unless he used his ip again.  but he won't do that just to wreck a picture--> and i saw the pictures and have no idea what you're talking about.  marzy's dress?  no feet?  i saw neither in that link.  so he couldn't have cut that pic for no reason just to annoy you guys.  he's not a troll anymore.

.....if i continue this mike'll probably get mad...so..bye.  it's too early, so don't hold me responsible for any of this, mikey.  i'm stayed up late yesterday.

<!--Put them here.-->

== IPs and Editing ==

Hey Michael. I was just looking at the Recent Changes page, and noticed that you made a rather rude remark regarding (havin' fun with alliteration) an IP's edits to [[The Exact Same]]: "It's not a toon, so leave it alone and just set up an account already". I just want to say that although we usually encourage IPs who edit a lot to join the wiki as a user, its not disallowed for an IP to make very small to very large edits. Plus, if he saw your comment, that probably wouldn't make him feel very welcome here on the wiki. Please don't make comments like these in the future. Thanks, {{User:DevonM/sig}} 07:31, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
:You've been making rude remarks all day, actually. Calling perfectly good edits vandalism and reverting them, and similar. Aside from the fact that the majority of your reversions were of sound edits and hence needed to then be de-reverted by someone else, vandalism is deliberate messing up of page text. Things like removing information, or adding nonsense or swears. Thus a edit made with good intentions, even if it's not deemed neccesary for the page, is '''not''' vandalism. On the flip side, most of your reversions '''are''' vandalism in and of themselves. Your reversion of the addition of the word "nude" to the Dangeresque 3 Smoky Office Responses page is the perfect example - Coach Z does say the word "nude" in the game, and its omission from the page was in error. Take care to assess edits for good faith and sound content before reverting, and don't call things vandalism if they're not. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 10:39, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

== Sig editing ==
Sorry I'm posting on here a lot, but I just saw that you deleted part of Ninja Pom Pom's sig because "It was too long and he won't comply, so I guess I have to do everything for him", and when I look at what you posted on his talk page...you gave him '''16 minutes''' to change it. It would probably have been better for you to let ''him'' edit his sig. Thanks, {{User:DevonM/sig}} 22:29, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

== Personal Images ==

Hello MichaelXX2, I've noticed that you have three personal images ([[:Image:MichaelXX2sig.jpg]], [[:Image:MichaelXX2welcome.png]], and [[:Image:Homestarfish.png]]). Please mark one of them for deletion. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:58, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

== Hold the horses ==

Hey Michael, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Ninja_pom_pom&curid=45591&diff=614530&oldid=614502&rcid=573094 this edit] is taking it too far. Yes, he is not using show preview enough, but 8 or so edits are not flooding recent changes. There is no need to be this aggressive in your language, and there is no need to call him a liar. Maybe he would have had 38 edits if he hadn't used recent changes. So please take a step back and take a deep breath before even considering posting on someone's talk page. In general, you should tone down your voice a little and change your attitude. I see you have been [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:It%27s_dot_com&diff=prev&oldid=614138 told off] by It's dot com for trying to police the wiki before. I also see that you have been blocked from editing three times. You should work on yourself before trying to tell other editors how to behave. Please think about it and concentrate on contributing to the wiki rather than trying to police it. Thank you.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:25, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

== Vandals and templates ==

Thanks for putting up warning on vandals.  However, you might want to start using the [[:Template:test]]  and [[:Template:blockwarning]] instead of writing your own.  That way, it's standardized and gives a little more info. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:09, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

== Other users' userspace ==

Thank you for your concern in keeping [[User:Homsarstrongbad150|Homsarstrongbad150]]'s talk page organized. However, such edits as these (<span class="plainlinks">[http://hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Homsarstrongbad150&diff=prev&oldid=618647], [http://hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Homsarstrongbad150/Archivenav&diff=prev&oldid=618648], [http://hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Homsarstrongbad150&diff=prev&oldid=618650]</span>) are not yours to make.  &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 18:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

== Pipes and redirects ==

When i said that pipes are ugly and redirects are preferred, it meant in cases where said redirect already exists and makes sense. Not cases where you're going to create a redirect just for the sake of removing a pipe. In cases where the text is totally different from the link, pipes are best. What you just did, creating a redirect for girlfriend to strong bad's ladies to remove the pipe from that page, doesn't work. If someone is searching the wiki for "girlfriend" they're not necessarily gonna want [[Strong Bad's Ladies]]. Further, there could be a different page somewhere where "girlfriend" actually links to POM POM'S girls. So, let's recap. In a case where there's no redirect and it doesn't make sense to create one, pipes are best. Else, linking to a redirect is fine. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Once again, you are [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Tandy_400_Dreams&diff=619854&oldid=619595&rcid=578514 still policing the wiki], despite having been asked by It's Dot Com to stop. So I'm saying it again, '''please stop policing'''. Thank you. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:11, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
:Leave me alone. I can simply ''tell'' the person not to do it! {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 02:21, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
::No, i think you missed the definition of policing. It means enforcing policy. You are exceptional at fixing photos and making constructive edits to the knowledge base, but are slightly lacking in the area of diplomacy. Would it be all that terrible for you to leave the policing to those who are experienced in diplomacy, and focus more on just your editing and photo fixing? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:28, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
:See, we're all good at different stuff. And we're all not good at different stuff. And the one thing we're focusing on that you're not good at is policing the wiki. Mind you, you're good at a lot of stuff, and for that we're real glad. But this, not so much. All we ask is that you lay back in those areas where you aren't so skilled and go on ahead where your skills are what's best for the wiki. There's a reason I don't do any graphics work here, and partly it's that DeFender (or others) would tell me (rightly) that I suck. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:36, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
::Aw, thanks. I get the picture now. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 03:27, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Michael, please never do anything like [http://hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAccel&diff=620327&oldid=615424 this] again. If you think a user is a sockpuppet, you need to present evidence. Furthermore, definitely '''do not''' make the comment on the suspected sock's talk page; inform a sysop instead. If it turns out you're wrong, that user has that in their talk history. This is exactly why we're asking you not to police the wiki. Your communication with others leaves a great deal to be desired at this point. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:59, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
::::Michael, we have warned you repeatedly not to police the wiki, and this is why. You simply don't have the knack for it yet. You are more than welcome to improve articles in the main namespace, but if you continue to try and enforce policy then I'm going to block you. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:13, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

== Very large pictures? ==

Excuse me, MichaelXX2, but (I might be wrong) I feel that [http://hrwiki.org/index.php/Image:sbemail81.png some] [http://hrwiki.org/index.php/Image:TeenGirlSquad12.png of] [http://hrwiki.org/index.php/Image:New_Toons_Menu.png the] [http://hrwiki.org/index.php/Image:sbemail106.PNG images] that you have recently uploaded are unnecessarily large in visual image size and in file size. I mean, most of the images will only be seen as 180-pixel sized thumbnails. So... I mean, I'm just wondering, I'm not completely sure (I'm a wishy-washy person (who likes nested parentheses)), if you could just... give me a reason for them to be large... ... that would be nice. &mdash; {{User:Fotoshop/sig}} 03:10, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
:The larger they are, mind you, the less likely they will to be stretched to a point in which they're pixellated and look all horrible. Yes, they're big, but they could be a ''lot'' bigger if I didn't post them in Paint and use Picture Manager to crop them. In other words, it's big and in higher quality, so it's never going to be stretched beyond its file size. There. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 03:14, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
::Oh, okay! Thanks, MichaelXX2! &mdash; {{User:Fotoshop/sig}} 00:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

== sorry ==

== hremails ==

MichaelXX2, hremails are not capitalized. Please change everything back. Also, please use some more civil language in move edit summaries.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 19:52, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
:But I've seen people capitalize things like that before. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 19:53, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
::There. Done.

== More like British spelling! ==

This is very minor, but in your bottom 10, where you mention that you don't like those "unnecessary U's", those are actually the British spelling of words. For example, "favourite", "lorry", "kerb", "grey", "tyre", and "encyclopaedia" are British spellings. &mdash; {{User:Fotoshop/sig}} 00:35, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

== Image edits ==

Heylo, MichaelXX2. Good jorb on touching up those pictures! :-) Just make sure you're not going overboard. For example, [[:Image:Bubs 3D variation.PNG|here]], the "strange smudge thing" was actually his armpit, and [[:Image:Coach Z as Queen Latifah.png|here]], the "blue speck" was actually a bit of the sky. ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 08:15, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

== Awake or asleep userbox ==

Hi, MichaelXX2! The userbox that you got from my user page is still set to have the sleep/wake times of 6am and 9pm '''Pacific Standard/Daylight Time'''. So, you might want to replace the <div style="font-family:monospace">America/Los_Angeles</div> in the userbox with a city from [http://us.php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php here] that's the closest to Ruston. Happy New Year! &mdash; {{User:Fotoshop/sig}} 17:46, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

You've been asked before [[User:MichaelXX2/Talkarchivetwo#Policing|not to police]].

::I fail to see how this is relevant, MichaelXX2. You have been warned not to police the wiki because it is something that you get wrong too often. And here, you got it wrong again. Even reverting a perfectly good edit by a sysop. As the link to your talk page archive shows, you have even been warned that you might be blocked. I have to tell you that this is not an empty threat. Please stop policing the wiki or you will be blocked from editing.

== Image Summaries ==

Hey there, i wasn't sure if you were aware, but the first time an image is uploaded, the upload summary becomes the text on the image page, so when uploading new images, you may want to write a better description than things like "An image. You'll see its use.". I personally usually write something like "<nowiki>description of picture with [[necessary things linked]], from [[name of toon]]</nowiki>". It's descriptive and looks a lot nicer. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:53, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

==Hrmail and Hrmails==
Hello, um, I'm the person who made the hrmail and hrmails pages. I realize that some people may accidently misspell the word HRemail, either by typing in hrmail or hremails, all lower-case, so, as to make it easier for people to go around the wiki, I wanted to make redirects, so people who searched for hrmail or hrmails would go to the HRemail page.

I hope you understand, I guess. I want to know, what does "redirect will pipe itself" mean?--[[Special:Contributions/72.208.76.124|72.208.76.124]] 22:22, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
: It means that if you search or link with all lowercase letters, it will automatically find the correct case if both pages aren't separate. I don't think hrmail would work like that, but it would be pretty unusual to make that mistake. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:13, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

:There wasn't a consensus, I just needed to rename it so it could go on the disambig page. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 20:29, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

== Using Bold in Image Summaries ==

Hey, thanks for helping us out with the ongoing Image Summary Cleanup. Listen, I need to talk to you something I was contacted about by Defender1031 [[User talk:The Chort#Good Jorb|on my talk page here]]. Apparently, there's no need whatsoever to use '''bold tags''' in the image summaries, as there are no standards nor consistancy with them. Do you suppose we should adapt your [[Template:from|from template]] by removing the bold tags there, as we might end up with weird autoformatting [[:Image:AtOff.png|like this]]? What I'm saying is if one of us is adding bold tags and the other is removing them, that kind of defeats the purpose of an image summary cleanup, so we need to come to an agreement over this issue. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 21:09, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
:I think the bold tags are needed because then you pay more attention to it. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}
::Another question. Is that from template even that useful? You still need to type in the item's/character's name, maybe a piped link and link to the toon where the image came from. Is it really so hard to type "[[The Poopsmith]] (from [[disconnected]])"? Do we really need a template to do this simple task, possibly making things a bit more complicated in the process? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 21:16, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
:::I thought it was useful to get the formatting right for templates. If we ever want to change what the edit summaries look like, it would be a matter of changing one page instead of hundreds. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:25, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
::::But now that I look at it, it really puts the edit summaries in a box. I think it's unneeded. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

== pipes ==

you know, you don't have to remove them.  Unless it's to a subsection of a page, they're fine as is. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.179|132.183.138.179]] 17:08, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
:Well, the less piped links, the more space we save. [[User:It's Dot Com|It's Dot Com]] has also made various modifications so that piping isn't needed. I used to be a little bit more case-sensitive with this wiki than I should have; I'd pipe things a lot, but I was discouraged from doing it at one point. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 17:22, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

== removing ==

Why did you remove your awesome people section? If it was still there, I will like it. Keep the current section up. You can still keep the tag on. --{{User:Fangoriously/SIGGY HERE!}} 06:01, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
:I have no idea why/how I removed it. The problem has been acknowledged and is now replaced. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 20:43, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

== Happy (late) Birthday! ==

Sorry, I ment to post this yesterday, but the first day of school (groan) erased everything from my memory except my username and password.

But seriously. You need to come on back! We've figured out the admin panel and I think I might be able to fix your avatar. (And we aren't the only ones there now. 10 people as of this post's time!)

I fixed your avatar! I used my mystical admin powers and went ahead and put it on your profile. {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 22:03, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

== Subtitles testing ==

Hey there. I wanted to point out that if you have phlip's script installed, then to test subtitles, instead of saving to the wiki multiple times, you can use the "test subtitles script" box and make your changes there, then copy them over to the wiki. Hope that helps. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:35, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

== Blue Yoshi in your sig ==

You know, the one wearing a Metool hat? Where did you find it? I was wondering, because I made it (or at least made something that looks EXACTLY like it). [[File:Yoshi.PNG|thumb]] {{User:Neox/sig}} 22:15, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
:Oh yeah, that's yours. Now I remember where I found it. Yep, that's definitely your Yoshi. Do you want I should remove it? {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 22:22, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
::No, you can keep it. I don't mind you using it. I was just surprised, is all. Have a happy Easter! {{User:Neox/sig}} 00:04, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

== Block warning ==

I know it's a little pointless to warn you, since you're obviously trying to be blocked. Still, putting that you hate anyone is not appropriate for your user page. Please do not do it again. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:01, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
:Since when were you not considering blocking me? You said on IRC you were going to, which makes PERFECT sense because the two are completely related, right? {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 00:05, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
::On IRC, I warned you about what you were doing on IRC. Here I'm warning you about what you're doing on the wiki. If I wasn't considering ''not'' blocking you, you would already have been blocked. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:11, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
:::Fascinating. Funny how you said you'd block my wiki account from my behavior on IRC. And don't try to deny this, I have a log of you explicitly saying "wiki account." Now, IRC isn't related to this wiki, and making it seem so will be a perfect example of abuse of your powers. This conversation is over (unless you have something else to say, I probably won't respond to it) and you can go back to doing whatever you were doing. Good day, sir. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 00:14, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
::::{{inlinecontentwarning|content language in the following discussion|}}
::::I never denied that. In fact, I nearly posted the warning in my previous post instead of just saying "I warned you about what you were doing on IRC." The warning I gave you on IRC was "this is your warning that if you keep attempting to cause disruption on IRC, I'll block your wiki account". The disruption I was referring to was your going to seemingly random channels and telling whoever is there to join our channels and tell us "all to go to hell." Then you go on to tell them, "Either that or shove a big cock up Dot_com's ass." You say you "don't care about [our] stupid channels anymore," and yet you're inciting people to troll us. You say that "the HRWiki admins are all jackasses" and that we "have no hearts, no souls, no compassion, and my favorite, no humor at all." These same unfunny, uncompassionate admins have been extremely patient with you. Surely you see how wildly inappropriate your behavior is. There are so many times over the years when we could have blocked you indefinitely instead of giving you another chance. I don't know why you're trying to be blocked now. Maybe you want to quit but can't quite bring yourself to do it and need to turn it into a sour grapes situation. I really don't care what the reason is. If you don't want to reply, then fine, don't. If you don't want to edit this wiki ever again, then fine, don't. It's just a wiki about dumb animal characters, and it doesn't matter to me what you choose, except that we're not going to tolerate any more misbehavior from you. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:53, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

== imageschack in your sig ==

Imageshack was giving a giant image of a frozen frog and a message saying something about needing to register. I have removed the imageshack images from your signature. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 09:59, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
:Okay, since I’ve found out that this is a problem that only appears for some ([http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=68925]) I'll say so here to avoid confusion. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:17, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
::Hm? The signature is showing up fine for me. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 11:47, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
:::Imageshack changed it's hotlinking policy so that webmasters that want to hotlink to Imageshack must register their domains to Imageshack so that Imageshack will disable the anti-hotlink block for those domains.

:::[[User:Tom|Tom]] would have to register hrwiki.org on Imageshack so that we users can hotlink off Imageshack.  Imageshack is being silly, so I'd just suggest using other image hosts like imgur or Photobucket instead.  &mdash;[[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 13:35, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

What's up with your new sig, anyway? It looks like a My Little Pony turning into a Rapidash. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:27, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

== April 1 is no different than any other day ==

If you don't already know, that^ is my approach to wiki jokes on this day of the year. Anything the wiki does to celebrate, whether as a whole or individual members, is decidedly normal and not an April Fools' joke. It adds to the flavor. And any response i may make to the wiki celebration is as though nothing is different. in my recent main page talk post, i wasn't referring to your signature when i said that about burning unicorns. in the one earlier this afternoon, i probably was, but not now. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 05:34, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
:Ooookay then. I really don't understand what else you could have meant, but what do I know about making April Fools' day every day?!?!?!?! {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 05:37, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
::It means that if it's true, then there's something wrong with my mind. and the wiki had a relatively slow day today, and i guess i'm not ready for it to be over yet. and your signature was the ''reason'' i said i was seeing burning unicorns, but not necessarily the direct location that i supposedly saw them. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 05:45, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
:::I guess that makes sense. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 05:46, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
