Hi, HOMER SIMPSON is Spam. It's been marked with the delete template. Thanks! 16:48, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Wikisimpsons time
Hi, I was wondering what time area does Wikisimpsons follow? It says on various pages - "votes end June 1st 2010 Wikisimpsons time" - is it GMT or some other? I'd like to know, just to see the changes made when all the votes are counted in. Because I'm weird like that! :) 22:31, May 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * It is official Wikia time. On your preferences, it says something like +/- 0 hours. That is Wikia time. 07:27, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK. And I was meaning to ask you - what day will the rollback nominations end? Thanks! 09:35, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * A week after it started for rollback. Two weeks for Admin and Bureaucrat. 09:38, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks! 09:39, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * That should be the 3rd then. Two days left. 09:40, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK. And thanks for nominating me for the homer award again this month - it means a lot to me! :) 16:09, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah well, I will probably be nominating just about everyone who edits thus month really. 16:47, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why's that? Not many people editing, or something? 16:49, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not at all. More people to vote for. As long as they edit for more than a day, I will probably add them for a wider range of people to vote for. It installs confidence as well. 16:53, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, OK. I get it. So, have we switched to this new voting method for good now? Or are we going to revert to our old voting ways? 17:00, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * If it works, then we will use it. if not, we will revert to our old way. 17:04, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

TYou destroyed my edit

Thanks for the advice. Will keep that in mind. --J36miles 18:26, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Great to have a new member here. 18:28, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

How do you make friends on this wiki.


 * Firstly, please add " ~ " after each post on a talk page. Second of all, this isn't Youtube or Facebook, this is an online encyclopedia, so we don't have a "friends" function. We're all a part of a community anyway.

 * Ldude said it for me. 05:59, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Episodes
Hi, I was just wondering if the first paragraph on an episode (with info on writers, airdate, director etc) is really needed, seeing as all that information is present in the infobox? Also, the Manual of Style does not mention these paragraphs (to my knowledge anyway!) but simply asks for a brief summary of the plot. Thanks for that! :) 21:38, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would say a brief introduction to the episode, Episode X of season X would be wanted. However, nothing else is necessary. A brief summary of the plot, also any major changes should be mentioned, new recurring character, death, etc. Should be mentioned. 21:40, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks for getting back to me! 21:46, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Warning?
Hi, I was a little shocked to see that I have a warning?! I don't understand exactly what've I done wrong and I've in no way vandalised the wiki in such way. If you could tell me what I have done wrong, I'd be very grateful. But I think the warning was unnecessary. Thanks! 10:05, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * According to Smiley12, it had something to do with me editing Homer's age? Even so, if the age or information was incorrect, it shouldn'tof resulted in a warning. I'm still confused over the whole thing though... 10:32, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Rod
Mine was not exactly a duplicate, I converted it, cleaned it, made it transparent, and removed the water mark. And about the skin on the Ben 10 wiki, I need permission with the other admins to change it. -- Renzo 493 14:35, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * If that is the case, you should have uploaded it under the same file name as it was basically the same picture. Feel free to replace the existing image with it. 14:32, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * But mine is .png and I don't think jpgs can have transparent background so I'm gonna upload it Flanders_rod.png? -- Renzo 493 15:05, June 5, 2010
 * Upload it over the old version. It works. 14:49, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Sideshow Bob Template
Hi, do we prehaps a template that contains all the Sideshow Bob episodes, such as the one we have for Krusty. If we don't, could I create one? There is a more than decent one which can be viewed on Wikipedia. Thanks! 12:04, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sure. Go ahead. 12:06, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Right. Finished. Here's the template. Hope your OK with it! :) 12:20, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool. We should make one for each character actually. 12:35, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah. That was what I was thinking. I'll try and get around to making a few later. 12:38, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, see Forum:New Episode Categories and leave your input please if you don't mind. 12:40, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Colour Signature?
Hi - I'm really sorry, but how do you put the colours on the name? I can't find a hint of how to do it...

well i could help you just tell me what color you want or solar either of us can do it. ScarletScarabX ( Talk ) 17:10, June 6, 2010 (UTC) then we can make one we need a color to make it
 * I left him a message on hit talk page. 17:10, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Treehouse of Horror Template
Hi, could I create a template (similar to the Sideshow Bob one I made the other day) that lists all the different Treehouse of Horror episodes? Thanks! 15:14, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Look. You don't have to ask me in future. Feel free to create any templates you want. 15:22, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks for telling me! 16:19, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

speculation ?
hello solar dragon. i am wondering if im allowed to use speculation on this website becuse i relly need to know before i add any theroys on characters or places. if you dont allow speculation on this site i understand completely and if you do id greatly apreciate it. thank you and please answer as soon as you can.
 * No. Speculation belongs in the Forum. Feel free to add any speculation you want there. 16:11, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Great job
I haven't visited the site in a while, but it appears to be in much better shape than it was when I left it, and you have done a great job in helping to maintain it. There appear to be more active and dedicated users, which really helps. It will be a while before this wikia is anywhere near the standard set by Lostpedia, but I must say it's starting to get on the right path. -- Brian McClure 22:20, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have tried my best to get this site working properly and fully up and running. Appreciate the compliment. 05:06, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Is there a bot at this wikia? I think some of the categories need overhauling, but it would take a long time to do manually. I've been looking through Category:Characters voiced by guest stars, which is very poorly defined and contains several guests who appeared as themselves. There is also Category:Guest Stars. I think that one needs to be renamed to "Guest stars". Then a new Category:Self-voicing guest stars needs to be created. So every guest star would go in "Guest stars". Then, for the in-universe aspect, guest stars who appeared as themselves would go in the self-voicing category. -- Brian McClure 22:18, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know, most likely not. I'll probably continue my trend of popping by every now and then. -- Brian McClure 14:19, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Quitting
I have just lost interest in the Simpsons as a whole. I will also be starting school again soon so I will not have as much time to edit.

Non-canon
Hi, can the non-canon template be placed at the top of a Treehouse of Horror episode? Or is the template only for the non-canon sections on characters pages? Thanks! 17:32, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I think we should have a separate template for non-canon episodes actually. If you would like to whip one together, that will be good. 20:08, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to! What were you thinking the template contain? 20:12, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Something like: This episode is considered non-canon and the events in it do not relate to the series, or something similar to that but better worded. 20:13, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. I'll sort that out for you now. 20:14, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Any image in mind? Or keep the same as the other noncanon template? 20:20, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Either keep the same or use a suitable THOH segment opening screen, which I doubt there is one so keep the same one. 20:22, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've found a picture of Homer with his donut head? How about that? 20:26, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess that will do fine. 20:27, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Here it is. 20:30, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep. Just seen it and it looks fine. You can add it to the articles if you want now. 20:31, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yup. Will do! 20:32, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Right, I've inserted that into all the Treehouse of Horror pages. 20:59, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. There are also some other episodes too that could use it such as Simpsons Bible Stories and others. 21:01, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'll add the template to them as soon as possible. 21:06, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Episode Title Problem
Hi, Solar. There's a problem with the title for the episode "D'oh-in' in the Wind." It's in our wiki under two different titles: In our wiki, the no-apostrophe version of the episode is the much better developed one, except for the Quotes tab. I suggest doing the following: Thanks and hope all goes well with getting it straightened out! -- Mythigator 01:14, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * "D'oh-in' in the Wind" (with an apostrophe after the first "in") - this seems to be the official title, per sources such as snpp.org, IMDB, and the Season 10 DVD.
 * "D'oh-in in the Wind" (no apostrophe) - the regular Wikipedia has it under this title, but based on the above, I say they've got it wrong.
 * 1) Delete the "with-apostrophe" version (except possibly for the Quotes tab, see #3 below).
 * 2) Re-title the "no-apostrophe" version to have the apostrophe.
 * 3) OPTIONAL: Merge the old "with-apostrophe" version of the Quotes tab into the re-titled article. I say "optional" because I've made a backup copy of the completed quotes page. I can paste it back in easily enough if the episode ends up with the bare-bones version of the Quotes tab.
 * Think I sorted it all properly. Tell me if I missed anything. 05:18, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * All looks fine, including the Quotes tab. Well done!  The Appearances and Credits tabs need to be expanded, but that was the case all along.  Also, I know there are redlinks for "Groovy Grove Natural Farms." I put them in myself as I'm planning on writing that article, so they won't be red for long.  And I'll go ahead and check on some of the episodes "peripheral" articles (such as Seth's and Munchie's) and make sure that 1) they link back to the episode OK, and 2) they've got the episode name spelled correctly.  There's no point in perpetuating the apostrophe error any further. -- Mythigator 11:50, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
