Reply notes

If you leave me a message, I will put the reply here. I do not like having to go back and forth between different Talk pages to follow a conversation. That's a bit like if someone leaves you a note in the living room, so you go to the garage to leave them a message, then they go back to the living room to leave you another message, you go back to the garage for the next note, and so on.

You usually don't do that in real life. You and the other person are in the same room when you talk, or you're on the same phone call, or another similar method. Likewise, it's simpler and cleaner to reply to all messages here.

Anthony Solano
This user is stealing many things from Wikisimpsons, content and images. He took the plot that I had started for The Spy Who Learned Me, and has taken many images for episode from us, especially Ned 'N Edna's Blend, which was uploaded by me originally. I do not care about images especially, but content is illegal, isn't it? I have left a message on the user's talk page, but I would like to further action if necessary. Thanks, Randomno 16:45, May 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, it's Solar. You should check out all this user's edits. Randomno has removed a lot of the content from the Lady Gaga article here as it was the same as ours. I have blocked his IP from viewing Wikisimpsons so this shouldn't happen again. But can you please watch over this user for any suspicious activity. Thanks, Solar Dragon 17:14, May 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Those quotes can be found on several news websites, so they will be added back in once they are properly referenced. I will review Anthony's edits after I get a couple of things taken care of.


 * I think it is time to make it an official policy regarding material from Wikisimpsons. We both have better things to do. On that note, since you have been very diligent about making sure material from your wiki is not copied here, I trust you have been equally diligent that nothing from here after the time of your departure has been added to your wiki. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 01:11, May 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't check Simpsons Wikia often but if a new user makes a large edit, I will check both Wikipedia and here if I notice it. I haven't noticed anyone stealing content from here yet. If I did, or if you or any other user from here notices anyone copying content from here, feel free to bring it up on my talk page on Wikisimpsons, or via email (wikisimpsons@talktalk.net) and I'll look into it. Solar Dragon 22:12, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, also, you may notice that most, if not all, images he's uploaded were originally uploaded by us first although I'm not sure if the licenses cover images. Solar Dragon 22:37, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Gags
Do you know how to removes the "Gags" section on the template in episode articles?

As in Treehouse of Horror XX, it's between References and Apperances.TheShadowCrow (talk) 18:41, August 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * I can do that, but I put that in in preparation for covering a lot of gags that happen in episodes. For example, in the new opening sequence, there's about 14 major sections that can change from episode to episode. If we add in other gags that occur during the main portion of the episode, it could take up a big chunk of the References/Trivia page. I thought it might work better on a separate page.


 * I also added the Gallery page because we needed to work on how to handle images from the episodes. Some of the main episode pages have pictures on them, some do not. Some of the Appearances pages have pictures of each character, some just have a list of names.


 * I will try to come up with a couple of sandbox pages to demonstrate what each one could be before we decide one way or the other about using them. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 19:11, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Weekly Chat
To promote activity on the chat room on sunday nights, I would recommend putting a simple call-to-action in the "Chat" section on your main page. You could also have a weekly episode countdown with the call-to-action for the chat, like I put on the HIMYM main page. —Porterfield 20:09, October 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have added the template (Template:Countdown) and what I think is the correct Javascript code to both MediaWiki:Wikia.js and MediaWiki:Common.js, but I am currently getting an error for the display date on my sandbox. I tested it with Firefox and Chrome after updating the MediaWiki pages so it should not be a cache issue. What did I miss? —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:28, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Customizing achievements
Hi, I'm Dwellersims and I'm the founder of the Fallout Series Wiki. I'll just get straight to the point. The achievements, i have them activated on my wiki and i was wondering how you made it into the Arcade points and instead of points it's coins. Also how did when you get new messages, it say you have springfield Mail. Cheers! Retro Radiation King (talk) 08:06, November 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Another admin made those changes. I think they're in the MediaWiki pages. I will check on them. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:29, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

Wikisimpsons and Plagiarism
Hi,

Today I noticed that a user User:PatTag2659 had taken pretty much the entire references page for Adventures in Baby-Getting/References from Wikisimpsons. I have removed everything that had been copied and pasted directly from my wiki and told the user about our policies and the fact he was actually breaking the law. However, could you make the policy official by writing it into the Simpsons Wiki:Plagiarism page, similar to the section we have on Wikisimpsons (http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Wikisimpsons:Plagiarism). Thanks, Solar Dragon 23:03, November 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's a bit disappointing that this is still necessary, but at least there is now a similar statement on your wiki. Prior to Friday, having it only on this wiki could have been considered a double standard or simply one-sided. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 03:52, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

Adminship
I was wondering if I could become an admin on this wiki Dannyboy1512 (talk) 20:41, November 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I thought we had an established procedure to become an admin, but I will need to find or create it. Since you have only made a few edits here and haven't visited any other wikis, I would like to see you make more edits here before you can be considered. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 02:58, November 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's been a month and you haven't made any further edits here or on any other wiki, so that tells me wanting to be an admin was more of a casual request. An admin needs to be willing to put in a lot of work on a wiki, both to improve it and to fix problems that come up. After you come back and make a more concerted effort to edit here, then we can discuss this again. For now, I will consider the request closed. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 15:03, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hello
Hi Rabbit. You've probably noticed I've been inactive for the past 20 days. In case you've assumed so, I want to make it clear I am not done editing here. What happend was I had a lot of things I was planning to do on the wiki and they were increasing faster than I could complete them and real life duties made it hard to keep up. I got stressed at the thought of this website. But now I think I'm officaly back again and I hope things can stay that way. Just letting you know. Did anything important happen while I was gone? TheShadowCrow (talk) 23:12, November 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * I figured you were busy for a bit and would come back when you could. I have also been kind of floating along for a while. About the only significant thing is what I mentioned in my blog, which is that I asked Wikia to change it so that anonymous users can edit again. That's been off for a very long time and it's kept people from editing here. We might see a little more vandalism or nuisance edits, but we clean them up and continue on with building the wiki.


 * Probably after Season 15 is released on DVD next month, I will try to do a lot of cleanup on our pictures. At that point, I will have everything except seasons 16-19, so I will be in a good position to make sure we have good versions of each picture. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 01:21, November 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually, I think I just found something I can do in the meantime. There are a LOT of low-quality pictures scattered about that are from the two family trees in the Uncensored Family Album. I bought a second copy of that book to assist with scanning the images, so I am going to work on that. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 01:57, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, great. I'm getting back to where I left off: Improving all the newly made pages. I've been unable to get far back on the Wiki Activity tab. In the past I could go several weeks back. The wiki would lose track of how many days ago the edits were after the first week, but I was still able to go back. But after a number of tries between now and yesterday, I've been unable to go back farther than a few days, where as I need to go back three weeks (growing every day). Do you know what the problem is? TheShadowCrow (talk) 01:46, November 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you go to the full Recent Changes list, you can click on how many days and how many changes to make. Once you have both of them, you can manually adjust it in the address bar of your web browser. For example, days=120 and limit=1000. That will let you see more of them. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:45, November 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Where is the Recent Changes list? TheShadowCrow (talk) 00:42, December 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Special:RecentChanges. You normally get there by going up to the "On the wiki" menu, click on "Wiki Activity" and then click on "See all activity". I have customized the toolbar at the bottom so that I can get to the Recent Changes through it (the "My Tools" link). —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 19:38, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Screenshots
Just so you know, I worked hard to get these images, by timing video pauses perfectly so I can get the exact frames I believe are excellent. Are you sure you can replace those EXACT images? If you delete the current images, what will you use as a reference? And besides, you don't have to delete the images, just overwrite them. And jpg resolution is usually very poor and jagged. Kid Sonic (talk) 02:48, November 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I haven't had any problems using frame advance on PowerDVD or iTunes to get my screenshots. Well, the old version of PowerDVD seemed stuck on always displaying the closed captioning, but version 9 seems to work better. On most of the unused pictures, there wasn't anything on the file's page that showed what episode it was from and the file names didn't help, either, so it looked like it was going to be better to clear out the low quality pictures and do them over with new screenshots.


 * If you recognize what episode an unused picture is from, go ahead and add it to the episode's gallery. That way, it won't be unused any more and we can look at uploading a new version of picture.


 * Regarding the file type, as long as you save a jpg picture with no more than 10% compression, there isn't much difference from a png picture but the file size is a lot smaller and it loads quicker. Any artifacting and picture degradation occurs when the wiki resizes the picture to display it at a smaller size. The picture itself doesn't change, just the smaller copy that's created as needed.


 * We have over 10,000 pictures on this wiki, so I could use any help you can give me on organizing the pictures and uploading better quality versions. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:19, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism by 90.197.162.230
Hello. I hate to trouble you, but we have a vandal on our hands. This user, IP address 90.197.162.230, posted hate speech in some articles. I undid vandalism by this person, but he may strike again.—Brandon Devers 17:15, November 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * It looked to be more like name-calling than hate speech, but we can do without it. I've blocked them for two weeks. If they decide to do it again, then the block will be longer next time. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:56, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Candidate for Deletion
Station Wagon

This article serves little purpose and isn't specific with when it appears. Erm, so anyway... just my opinion on that article. ToyStoryFan123 (talk) 20:40, December 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Three other pages link to it, including one for the Hit and Run game. It needs to be cleaned up instead of deleted. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:58, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I see your point, however Marge's Station Wagon, which I believe is the Station Wagon they used for that page already has a page. How about making it a disambiguation page? Mother Fudger! (talk) 18:43, December 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * This needs deleting, I made it by pure accident, I was trying to make a Quotes page for 'Lisa  the Tree Hugger (The Simpsons Game)' but I accidentally put Quotes twice D: so anyway, here it is.

http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Lisa_the_Tree_Hugger_(The_Simpsons_Game)/Quotes/Quotes Thanks

P.S I made a proper one after this so... yeah... Mother Fudger! (talk) 18:47, December 13, 2012 (UTC)
