-	== Hey there Heimstern Läufer ==
-	how have you been, me i've being doing great, can i ask you something, do you know a wikipedian by the name of bubsty?	+	== Fourth Wall Breaks? ==
-	Ps: Which country are you from?	+	Hey Heimstern, I was just looking around the [[:Category:Articles_needing_cleanup|list of articles that need cleaning-up]] and I noticed that [[Fourth Wall Breaks]] is on there. When you look at its [[Talk:Fourth_Wall_Breaks|talk page]], it says that it's a featured article. Just curious, but why is it a featured article if it's marked for cleanup? -[[User:The Vector Kid|TVK]] 06:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
		+	:Well, the problems that need cleanup may have developed after the article was featured, or it may simply be that we noticed problems that we didn't notice at the time of the feature. Note that we aren't quite as strict about the quality of our featured articles as Wikipedia is, also. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:39, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
		+	::Gotcha. I'm just used to 'kipedia I guess, but thanks for the update!
-	[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 06:36, 2 December 2005 (UTC)	+	== Sandbox thing ==
-	:I've been doing well, Nikolce, except that I have a lot of work to do for school. I do know Bubsty; we've talked a few times. As for my country, I'm from the USA (I live in California, as stated on my [[User:Heimstern Läufer|user page]]), even though my user name is German (I enjoy speaking German, so I gave myself a German username. If you want to know how I came up with it, that's on my user page too.) Glad to hear things are going well for you. Talk atcha later! [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 06:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)	+	How do I at least get the CODE for my sandbox thing back after that guy got rid of it? Can you please help me? {{User:Acam30/sig}} 04:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
		+	:You can find in [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&oldid=581704 this] revision. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
		+	::Yes, thank you. I figured it out. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 04:48, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
		+	:::Incidentally, Heimstern's post there points out a useful feature. Namely, you don't have to keep reverting the sandbox to any particular revision (and getting worked up in the process) in order for GreenHelmet to see it. Just use the permanent link. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:52, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
-	== Cool name, two ==	+	== I should have known... ==
-	You have a cool name as well! Also, I have a music degree, too - a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music Theory and Composition from Marshall University! --[[User:DeadGuyPerez|DeadGuyPerez]] 17:48, 5 December 2005 (UTC)	+	H*Bad was banned here, too. *wry smile* -- Alex H.
		+	:Yes, that's true. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:01, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
-	:I've been meaning to respond for a while and have been too busy. Anyway, thanks for responding to my message. Part of the reason I think your name is cool is that I can get my whole family to crack up by doing an impression of Homestar prank calling Marzipan using that moniker. I still think it's one of the funniest messages she's ever gotten on her answering machine. Also, it's cool that we have more people with music degrees on the Wiki; I count four of us thus far (you, [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]], [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] and me). Talk atcha later! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:08, 10 December 2005 (UTC)	+	== German ==
-	== Translation and question ==	+	Marshie is saying "You can't destroy me!". I believe it's from the sbmail candy bar. {{User:Ivoj Nob/sig}} 18:49, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
		+	:Yes. Though that quote had already been translated previously. Still, good work. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
		+	I speak German. What's that little German contest you got on your userpage? With the language I'm not the best at it, but I could probably live fine in Germany. Es war eine gute Idee sein, daß Homestar Runner in Deutsch als Ihren Benutzernamen. Danke! {{User:Mas12806/sig}} 03:46, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
		+	:I haven't done the German contest in a while. It was basically something where people guess what lines from toons I've written in German. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:37, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
		+	:Oh I see. Thanks. Also Sie nicht tun ein jederzeit schnell wieder? {{User:Mas12806/sig}} 22:55, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
-	Hey there, how have you been, can i ask you something, what does this mean Ich bin traurig, daß ich fliege.	+	== Complaint from Homsarstrongbad150 ==
-	and in your name when you finish a message what is that symble next to it, and how do you decorate your user name thing, you use and the end of a message?	+	i already told you peoples why i edited my page is because i thought i never got a reply that mike sent and he was clearly online because i saw him edit a page.  most people check their e-mail daily.  technically, you're not it's dot com, so you weren't asked to not block me, but i had a good reason this time.  on top of that, it ''is'' my page, so why should i not be able to edit it.  someone get Q over here.  he'll agree that thinking the email was missing somewhere in the internet is a good enough reason to post there.  and it is MY page.  i should be able to use it.  get Q over here.  he'll agree.  we're buds.  he's on my [[User:Homsarstrongbad150#cool users list|cool users list]].  y'know what?  i'm going to get Q, and i'm going to see what joeyday thinks of you.  yeah, that's right.  i'm going to the top, asking the big man.  this was one edit, do you get it?  i think i never got the reply to my email, so i asked, and now i can't use my own talk page for 2 days.  so i did try not to post there.  i had a legit reason to this time.  that was a good question.
-	[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 08:37, 6 December 2005 (UTC)	+	"thanks a lot", says {{User:Homsarstrongbad150/sig}} 03:11, 19 October 2008 (UTC) sarcastically and angrily
		+	:I know perfectly well that you've told us why you edited your talk page. Your reason was not acceptable. The fact that you are having email problems or that Michael did not reply as quickly as you thought he should have does not mean we have to let you use HRWiki as a messaging service. As for your assertion that it's '''your''' talk page, you are entirely mistaken. Your talk page does '''not''' belong to you, it belongs to the entire wiki, and therefore it's subject to all the wiki's guidelines and policies. Your use of your talkpage is a privilege, and, since you abused that privilege, it was revoked. Call for Qermaq, JoeyDay, Tom, whoever to look over my edits and admin actions as much as you want; I believe they stand on their own and that most users will completely understand. You, by contrast, have taken actions that have gotten you blocked for a week. And did you notice that '''no one''' is defending you? That should cause you to think that just maybe '''you''' might be in the wrong, and not me, Phlip, Dot com and others who've warned and taken administrative action against you. Please realize also that if you return to this behaviour after your block is over, you can expect to be blocked again for longer (possibly indefinitely). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:24, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
		+	::Hate to break it to you, Homsarstrongbad150, but Heimi is 100% in the good here. You were not requested to avoid chat on your user talk if it was convenient - you were told absolutely that a consequence was awaiting further misuse of the talk, and when that happened you got that consequence. There's really no wiggle room here. Specific behavior was expected of you, and you didn't demonstrate it. Hopefully in the next days you can cool off a little and come back prepared to follow the standards, policies and guidelines we all share here in order to make it pleasant for all the users. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:34, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
-	:Yeah, the German phrase means, "I'm sad that I'm flying", which, as you may recall, is a quote from Strong Sad from [[Main Page 15]]. Every couple of weeks or so, I put up a different H*R quote translated into German and see who can figure out what it says first.	+	== Just wondering... ==
-	:The symbol is the sign that is used on the [[Wikipedia:U.S. Highway 101|101]], the freeway (or motorway; I'm not sure with which word you're more familiar) that runs through my town. The white shield is the symbol for a [[Wikipedia:United States Numbered Highways|US federal highway]]; the one that goes through Santa Barbara, where I live, is numbered 101. I include it in my signature because it's something that relates to where I live. I need to go to bed now (it's past midnight here in California); I'll answer your question about how to soup up your signature tomorrow. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:51, 6 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	::But I can do it today! [[Help:Signature|Here]] are some basic steps for signature making. After you've done making a yourself one and still don't understand how to add an image, just ask around! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 10:28, 6 December 2005 (UTC) (P.S.: Look at the other help pages for other information on how to edit the wiki better.)	+
-	== Sig ==	+	Is referring to someone "n00b" considered flaming? I've been careful to restrain myself, but I was just curious. Something tells me it's not a good idea. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 04:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
		+	:I was just going down my user talk page recently and discovered that I left this question unanswered. Sorry about that, I forgot; didn't mean to ignore you or anything. Anyway, I'm not sure "n00b" is always flaming, but it's pretty much never a nice word, so I would advise against using it. "Newbie" can be a nice alternative sometimes, incidentally. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:13, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
		+	::I actually prefer avoiding calling attention to it altogether - just say "I know this is new for you" or "It's clear you are like me when I first edited a wiki" or something. Particularly with a 'newbie', one should avoid language that might exclude and might telegraph their possible inferiority. They probably feel like an outsider, and the goal is to make them feel like they are welcome to edit as much as any insider. The language we use should reflect that. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 13:09, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
		+	:::Just for clarification, I have never referred to anyone as "n00b" on the wiki. I'm a good boy. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 15:33, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
-	Hmm... something seems wrong with your signature. It's putting the entire source code in every time you sign. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:57, 6 December 2005 (UTC)	+	== Heimy vs. Heimi? ==
-	:Strange, everything appears normal on my computer. Is it showing up that way on my talk page when you view it, too? Because it looks just like a signature on my computer. I admit that I don't really understand how to make signatures work too well. So, I don't really know what's wrong, especially since I can't actually see the problem on my computer. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:49, 6 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	::Well, it's correct in this thread. Did you recently switch from entering the whole code to a signature template? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:12, 6 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	:::OK, now that you put it that way, I understand what you mean. Yeah, there was a brief time in which I had copied the source code instead of just <nowiki>{{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}}</nowiki> or what ever it is. So it was putting in the whole source for a while. I just suck at understanding instructions on the Wiki for some reason, so it took me a while to figure out what I was doing. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	::::All right, then everything is fine. Nothing is ruined. Just wanted to make sure. :) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:20, 6 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	:::::Yay! {{User:The thing/sig}} 00:45, 20 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	:::::I know that was kind of weird. {{User:The thing/sig}} 00:45, 20 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	::::::Hey, weirdness is OK. Talk atcha later. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	== Nuances ==	+	I never knew it was "Heimi" instead of "Heimy"? Weird. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 22:24, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
		+	:YES IT IS HEIMI. NO IT IS NOT HEIMY. THANK YOU. xD I prefer to call him Heimi. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 04:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
		+	::Umm, yay shouting? And the reason it's "Heimi" is that it's a German name, and therefore follows the German practice of having "i" instead of "y" (which is largely a foreign character in that language). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
		+	:::Mkay. That's all I wanted to hear. Thank you. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 22:06, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
-	That fact isn't worth it. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:55, 7 December 2005 (UTC)	+	== Signature Phase ==
-	:Umm, I kind of already did. Do as you will with it; I've been erring on the side of STUFFing rather than deleting because some people have objected to my deletions lately. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)	+	*Me again, Heimstern! And since I'm at your talk page, I was kind of wondering about replacing my old user shortcut with a signature just to make it look cöoler. Sorry about the "ö" in cooler. So until then, keep up the good work. -[[User:Umlaut76|Umläut76]] 14:01, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
		+	::You could check [[Help:Signature]]; that would probably have more info than I could give you. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:40, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
		+	:::Ökäy. - [[User:Umlaut76|Umläut76]]
-	::When somebody adds things that are a real stretch out of the blue (by "out of the blue," I mean that the page has been dormant for a while), you don't have to STUFF it and decline it; it's okay to just delete it. If it's important enough, the original person will try to add it again or STUFF it him- or herself. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:00, 7 December 2005 (UTC)	+	== User Subpages ==
-	:::We'll see if the original user does feel like trying to put it back. Just out of curiosity, is there somewhere on the Wiki where that gives some basic guidelines about when to STUFF and when to delete? I was never able to find anything like that, and I could have really used one of those in my early days. If we don't, it might be helpful for other users. I realize some of it is just subjective, such as the question of when something counts as a big stretch (for example, I don't think I saw that last one as being ''quite'' as big a stretch as you did, which is probably why I STUFFed rather than deleting), and that can't be helped. Anyway, keep on tranglin'. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:08, 7 December 2005 (UTC)	+	We should at least be able to make user subpages like fake tv shows or fake tracks, and stuff. Opinion? {{User:Sylar/sig}} 03:13, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
		+	:No thanks; just wait for the Fanstuff to be back. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:34, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
-	::::Have you ever made spaghetti? To tell if it's done, you throw it against the wall, and if it sticks, it's ready. Well, the process to determine which should be STUFF'd and which can be deleted outright is a lot like that. Seriously though, there's no set policy, because it's hard to write one that would adequately cover the subtleties. But I'll mention something that applies to this particular case: In a page as old as that, all the inside references have probably been thought of by ''somebody'' by now. It's just not that likely that we've ''all'' overlooked it for so long (not that it ''never'' happens, but it's quite rare). If it were legit, ''several'' people would have tried to add it when the page was new. So anyone trying to add a new inside reference ''now'' is probably going to have to stretch it to make it apply. And in cases like these, it's usually more expeditious to put the burden of adding the unlikely fact on the person ''in favor'' of it, rather than on those of us (yourself included) who would decline it. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:21, 7 December 2005 (UTC)	+	== Monobook ==
-	:::::Not to worry, though. There is a system of check and balances. For example, that particualar page is on nearly a dozen users' watchlists. They should each routinely review the history and make sure nothing slips through the cracks, including this so-called fact. If one of them feels strongly enough about it to accept it, then he or she should STUFF it at that point. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)	+	I am having trouble changing the logo on my monobook. {{User:Sylar/sig}} 07:36, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
		+	:I'm afraid I don't really know much about that. There's something about it [[HRWiki_talk:FAQ/9#Personal_Logo_Change|here]], if that helps. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:54, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
-	::::::I hope I didn't give the impression I'm concerned about the system; I stand by what I said a few days ago on the STUFF talk page that I think it's a good system. My interest was just in trying to make it more user-friendly, especially for newbies. I just remember often being unsure if I should delete or STUFF and wishing there were something that would give me some basic guidelines (not a hard-and-fast policy, mind you, but just guidelines, exactly like the kind you've just been giving me) to help me out. It was just a thought. Anyway, I know that the system is pretty solid (having participated in it myself a few times!) and have confidence in it. Thanks for your advice; it is much appreciated. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:41, 7 December 2005 (UTC)	+	==German Contest==
-	:::::::Another good tip-off that an edit is not worth the time it would take to mess with it is if it's from an anonymous contributor. Unfortunately, those are in short supply right now (we are very close to a solution on that, by the way), and the next best thing to an anonny is a red-link editor, which that guy was. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:59, 7 December 2005 (UTC)	+	Are you going to be doing another German Contest, I can speak quite a bit of German, for example:
-	::::::::True dat. Oh, and thanks for the update about ending the lockdown. I've been wondering about that for quite some time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:02, 7 December 2005 (UTC)	+	Hallo! Ich heisse Alex! Ich habe am 24 Februar Geburtstag. Ich komme aus Newcastle Upon Tyne. Ich spiele fussball, weil es prima findet, aber ich spiele Schlagzeug, das ist fantastich! Ich habe keine Haustiere, aber ich hatte gern einen hund.
-	I don't want to barge in, but we do have ''some'' guidelines for STUFFing in the [[HRWiki:STUFF/About|about page]]. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}}	+	I couldn't get umlauts and please forgive me if my spelling sucks.
-	:Glad you did barge in, Coolio. (Oh, and you forgot to sign.) Yes, I've seen those. What I was thinking about was having guidelines for when you see a Fun Fact you don't think is good: should you directly delete or STUFF? Basically the sort of things Dot com just wrote on my talk page. Also, I didn't mean to have it for me, since I think I understand pretty well now. I was just thinking for  someone who's at the spot I was at a month and a half ago. But if no one else has suggested this idea yet, maybe it isn't that important. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 16:30, 7 December 2005 (UTC)	+	({{User:ALJ123456/sig}} 17:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC))

		+	-Stark Traurig
		+	:I don't think there would be, no. It seems like it's basically just a proper name that wouldn't be translatable (like Bubs). Incidentally, instead of typing out your username, you can write four tildes (like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) and it'll add your name and a link to your userpage. Hope that helps! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:29, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

-	== guten tag Heimstern Läufer ( is that how germans say hello?) ==	+	Why did you revert [[:Image:Hremail.PNG|this image?]] I liked the newer version a lot better. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 01:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
		+	:I reverted it because you shouldn't have overwritten an existing image with a completely different image, since some people may still want to use the old image. If you want to use the new image, upload it under a completely separate filename. Notice also that Bad Bad Guy is currently using that image on his userpage. By re-uploading that image, you effectively changed his userpage, which I don't think I need to tell you isn't acceptable. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:28, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
-	Hello, there Heimstern Läufer, how have you been, i've been doing great, can i ask you some questions:	+	== Accel=sockkie ==

-	2.have you ever had a bulling problem in school?	+	== double post ==
-	3.do you know a user by the name of elvis?	+	Sorry about that, not sure how it happened. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 05:38, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
		+	:Usually when that happens, it means you hit save a couple times and thus the system registered your post twice. It's especially common if the page takes a long time to load after hitting save: you're like "what's taking so long?" and you hit save again, but actually it already got it the first time, and hitting save again causes a double post. I dunno if that's what happened here. In any case, it's no big deal, as it was easy to revert to one post. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

		+	Hey thanks for blocking that Ren Guy. Me and MichealXX2 kept reverting his vandalism till a sysop like you came! Thanks again!-{{User:Record307/sig}} 01:47, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
		+	:No problem. This sort of thing happens sometime (like that one time in '06 when Lapper and I kept reverting an annoying vandal all night after all the sysops went to bed). Keep it up. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:02, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

-	[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 11:15, 9 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	:Hey, Nikolce. Things are going a lot better now. "Guten Tag" is one way to say hello in German, although "Hallo" is actually more common ("Guten Tag" is a bit more formal). The normal way to say goodbye in German is "Tschüs", unless you really want to be formal, in which case you say "Auf Wiedersehen". As for your questions: 1. As I guess you saw on my user page, I've been doing a ''lot'' of schoolwork. That's mostly over now. 2. No, I haven't. 3. I've seen Elvis's name around, but I've never really met him. Anyway, I need to go to bed pretty soon. I hope things are still going well for you. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:03, 10 December 2005 (UTC)	+	Today I saw some kid wearing a sweatshirt that said "HEMI". Like the car or whuteva.

		+	:Not sure what this is I'm reading, but to provide a brief analysis: Of course, the ending line and stage direction, being written in English, are not legitimate German. I suspect (would hope!) you already knew this. The opening line, SB's line and The Cheat's line are legitimate German, except the word "basebell", which is neither a legitmate German nor English word, so far as I'm aware. I find Homestar's line very curious. In and of itself, it doesn't make a grammatical or logical sentence, but leave out that "Hallo" at the beginning and throw in a couple umlauts and some better capitalization, and you've got the title of a duet from Mozart's [[Wikipedia:The Magic Flute|The Magic Flute]], "Bei Männern welche Liebe fühlen". How that fits the context of the rest of this work is beyond me. So, there you go. I guess the answer to your original question is "kind of". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:12, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

		+	:::::From what I've seen, your definition of "fun" seems to be "posting hostile comments". In other words, trolling. Under that definition, I'll gladly suck the fun out of anything. Though before you continue to accuse me or try to get me "eliminated", I remind you that it was not I who banned you from the forum; indeed, it was done before I even saw the topic you made about me. In fact, the admin who banned you was ready to do so when you sent me that hostile PM on 31 July, about a week before your actual banning. He only didn't do so because I asked him not ban you. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:48, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
		+	::::::Yes, I know that you didn't ban me. It's just that since I do not know who banned me. (Nor do I want to know). But the point is, my definition of "fun" is Pokemon and Mario and Kirby and random animated gifs and torturing Sims in The Sims 2 and 3. Does that make me a bad person? Plus, I only "trolled", quotes due to the fact that I believe calling someone a moron isn't trolling someone as they've said it in Homestar cartons, why not here? Like three times. {{User:Ugozima/sig}} 10:09, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
		+	:::::::Is there a reason we're having this conversation? You haven't asked me to do anything, nor have you brought any substantial discussion of my actions (only a vague reference to my "sucking the fun out of" things). If there's something you want to ask me to do or an action of mine you want to intelligently discuss, please do so. If not, I can't see that there's anything more for us to talk about. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 10:44, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
		+	::::::::Yes, there is. From what you said, the admin who banned me wanted to do so due to the hostile PM I sent you. If I recall, the only hostile part of the PM was "Freaking Nazis". Now, that may seem hostile, but as any intelligent person may say (not saying you aren't) when someone is angry, they do things they regret. Like hitting a woman or starting a fight or saying n____. Also, I have received several PMs since I was banned, and since I'm banned I can't read them. {{User:Ugozima/sig}} 10:28, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

		+	::::::::::I just want to be unbanned to read the PMs. {{User:Ugozima/sig}} 11:06, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
		+	::::::::::: From what I understand, you called him, or at least someone, a Naiz. If that was because he speaks German, that's actually just as, if not more offensive as the other N word. You are basically putting him down in a way that is frowned upon in most civilized conversation. Nazis were not good people, to say the very very very {goes on for ten minutes} least. To call someone that, even as a joke, is unnaceptable in my opinion. Just wanted to clear that up. This isn't up to me, but I just wanted to say what you did was wrong. I'll leave this to the people who have the happy power to ban people. L%C3%A4ufer, this is up to you. Do your worst. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 12:57, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
		+	::::::::::::I was calling him a Nazi because he was trying to make the forums a serious place of discussion where you aren't allowed to really do anything fun on the forums. Just have serious discussion. Which, works for some forums. Forums for a web cartoon it doesn't. {{User:Ugozima/sig}} 13:06, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
		+	:::::::::::At this point, we're not willing to unban you, sorry. I understand that people do in fact do things in anger that they later regret, such as your sending me that hostile PM, but that doesn't change the fact that people have to live with the consequences of those actions. Furthermore, it was not one offence but several that got you banned: your calling another user a moron and your hostile reply when I told you not to, the "Freaking Nazis" message and your "Go Funk yourself" thread (which, may I point out, you continued to post in after Homestone Wrecker pointed out that it was going to get you into trouble). Lose your temper once, that might be a minor thing; lose it repeatedly, that's different. The fact that you've continued to be hostile in this very thread on my talk hasn't helped your case either. In short, no, we're not unbanning you at this time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 13:43, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
		+	::::::::::::That may be, but as you yourself may be presently aware of, I screwed up my grammar in the last sentence. But, as you may know, if my memory serves me right, I made the Nazi comment in the same PM. Now, most, if not all forums, would do it in this order. Calling someone a moron. Warning in a post. Insulting someone in a PM, simply asking what was wrong and why I did it. Telling someone to go Funk Themselves, a warning, and depending on the severity, a temporary banning of up to a month or so. All aside, I just want to read the freaking PMs. {{User:Ugozima/sig}} 13:55, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
		+	:::::::::::::What other forums would do is immaterial. We are bound by no forum's convention save our own, and if we're a bit less tolerant of misbehaviour than some others, that is no one's business but our own. As for the PMs, you should have thought of that before you behaved in such a way as to get banned. If you know who sent them to you, have them resend them using another mode of communication. If not, sorry, you're out of luck. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:00, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

-	I'm having trouble with the pronunciation of your name. Here's what I've got so far: start with the English word ''stair'', make the first part sound like ''sh-'' and add an ''-n'' to the end &rarr; ''shtairn''. Combine that with ''Hime'' and the last name &rarr; ''Himeshtairn Loyfah''. Is this close? I still don't know exactly how to pronounce the ''-r-'' "as a vowel." &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:32, 28 December 2005 (UTC)	+	== My subpages ==
-	:You're definitely getting there. It's really hard to describe pronunciation, so I did what I could, but I imagine it's still hard to tell. To pronounce "r" as a vowel, imagine a stereotypical Brooklynite saying, "whaddaya doin' heeuh?" with that very brief "uh" sound replacing the "r" in "here". That's how the "r" in my name should be pronounced. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:48, 28 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	::So, if I'm doing it right, the windpipe is more open than in an English /r/ sound, and the sound is centered more toward the back of the throat versus the front of the mouth? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:01, 28 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	:::For being as interested in languages as I am, it's remarkable how little I think about the physiological element of making sounds. But yes, I think that's right. Oh, and "r" in German is not always pronounced that way: if it comes before a vowel or if it's doubled, you have to roll it. Some, especially in [[Wikipedia:Bavaria|Bayern]], trill it with the tongue, like in Spanish. But most Germans roll it in the back of the mouth, as in French (or at least I'm told it's similar). Confusing enough for you? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:13, 28 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	::::No, that helps. In addition to being a music major, I was also a Spanish major, and as part of that I took a couple of years of French as well, so I had to get good at pronouncing ''r''<!---->'s in all kinds of different ways. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:29, 28 December 2005 (UTC)	+
-	:::::Yeah, I knew about your experience in Spanish and French. Oh, the difficulties students have learning to pronounce German correctly! The "r" is difficult, "ch" is difficult, the umlaut vowels are difficult, and just learning how not to drawl like most Americans do is difficult. Of course, a lot of people just don't really try that hard, and it shows when they don't. Evidently, I've learnt to do it quite well, since I have been told that I could pass myself off as a native speaker. I can sort of pronounce Italian, too, just because of listening to operas etc. in Italian. And since I'm from California, I know a little Spanish (although my pronunciation is often a bit like Italian, with "ch" sounds for "c" and "il" substituted for "el" occasionally). It's French that drives me crazy with pronunciation; it seems almost as bad as English for lack of phonetics. Like Spanish and Italian, German is very faithful to its phonetics, which makes pronunciation very easy once you've learnt the sounds well.	+
-	:::::Oh, and pronunciation ''isn't'' the hardest element in German, either! It's the ''word order'' that gives English (and, from what I'm told, Romance language) speakers the biggest headaches. Since we still have cases (nominative, acccusative etc.) in German, the meaning of the sentence doesn't dictate what the syntax must be. But there are still a jillion rules to learn to get it right, like always placing the verb second in an independent clause and last in a dependent clause. And then there's the ''Verbklammer'', which seperates an auxiliary verb from its infinitive. Here's a fun one: "You can't edit the Wiki because It's dot com has blocked you for vandalism" would be ordered like this in German: "You can the Wiki not edit, because It's dot com you for vandalism blocked has". Interesting, no? OK, that's long enough for now. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:19, 28 December 2005 (UTC)	+

-	:::::::Ah, yes, exactly: I cleverly chose a sentence that would express the German love of discipline.

Fourth Wall Breaks?

Hey Heimstern, I was just looking around the list of articles that need cleaning-up and I noticed that Fourth Wall Breaks is on there. When you look at its talk page, it says that it's a featured article. Just curious, but why is it a featured article if it's marked for cleanup? -TVK 06:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, the problems that need cleanup may have developed after the article was featured, or it may simply be that we noticed problems that we didn't notice at the time of the feature. Note that we aren't quite as strict about the quality of our featured articles as Wikipedia is, also. Heimstern Läufer 18:39, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Gotcha. I'm just used to 'kipedia I guess, but thanks for the update!

Sandbox thing

How do I at least get the CODE for my sandbox thing back after that guy got rid of it? Can you please help me? — Acam30 04:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, thank you. I figured it out. — Acam30 04:48, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Incidentally, Heimstern's post there points out a useful feature. Namely, you don't have to keep reverting the sandbox to any particular revision (and getting worked up in the process) in order for GreenHelmet to see it. Just use the permanent link. — It's dot com 04:52, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Complaint from Homsarstrongbad150

i already told you peoples why i edited my page is because i thought i never got a reply that mike sent and he was clearly online because i saw him edit a page. most people check their e-mail daily. technically, you're not it's dot com, so you weren't asked to not block me, but i had a good reason this time. on top of that, it is my page, so why should i not be able to edit it. someone get Q over here. he'll agree that thinking the email was missing somewhere in the internet is a good enough reason to post there. and it is MY page. i should be able to use it. get Q over here. he'll agree. we're buds. he's on my cool users list. y'know what? i'm going to get Q, and i'm going to see what joeyday thinks of you. yeah, that's right. i'm going to the top, asking the big man. this was one edit, do you get it? i think i never got the reply to my email, so i asked, and now i can't use my own talk page for 2 days. so i did try not to post there. i had a legit reason to this time. that was a good question.

"thanks a lot", says Homsarstrongbad150 03:11, 19 October 2008 (UTC) sarcastically and angrily

I know perfectly well that you've told us why you edited your talk page. Your reason was not acceptable. The fact that you are having email problems or that Michael did not reply as quickly as you thought he should have does not mean we have to let you use HRWiki as a messaging service. As for your assertion that it's your talk page, you are entirely mistaken. Your talk page does not belong to you, it belongs to the entire wiki, and therefore it's subject to all the wiki's guidelines and policies. Your use of your talkpage is a privilege, and, since you abused that privilege, it was revoked. Call for Qermaq, JoeyDay, Tom, whoever to look over my edits and admin actions as much as you want; I believe they stand on their own and that most users will completely understand. You, by contrast, have taken actions that have gotten you blocked for a week. And did you notice that no one is defending you? That should cause you to think that just maybe you might be in the wrong, and not me, Phlip, Dot com and others who've warned and taken administrative action against you. Please realize also that if you return to this behaviour after your block is over, you can expect to be blocked again for longer (possibly indefinitely). Heimstern Läufer 06:24, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Hate to break it to you, Homsarstrongbad150, but Heimi is 100% in the good here. You were not requested to avoid chat on your user talk if it was convenient - you were told absolutely that a consequence was awaiting further misuse of the talk, and when that happened you got that consequence. There's really no wiggle room here. Specific behavior was expected of you, and you didn't demonstrate it. Hopefully in the next days you can cool off a little and come back prepared to follow the standards, policies and guidelines we all share here in order to make it pleasant for all the users. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  07:34, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Just wondering...

Is referring to someone "n00b" considered flaming? I've been careful to restrain myself, but I was just curious. Something tells me it's not a good idea. ~That Guy Over There () 04:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I was just going down my user talk page recently and discovered that I left this question unanswered. Sorry about that, I forgot; didn't mean to ignore you or anything. Anyway, I'm not sure "n00b" is always flaming, but it's pretty much never a nice word, so I would advise against using it. "Newbie" can be a nice alternative sometimes, incidentally. Heimstern Läufer 11:13, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I actually prefer avoiding calling attention to it altogether - just say "I know this is new for you" or "It's clear you are like me when I first edited a wiki" or something. Particularly with a 'newbie', one should avoid language that might exclude and might telegraph their possible inferiority. They probably feel like an outsider, and the goal is to make them feel like they are welcome to edit as much as any insider. The language we use should reflect that. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  13:09, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Just for clarification, I have never referred to anyone as "n00b" on the wiki. I'm a good boy. ~That Guy Over There () 15:33, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Heimy vs. Heimi?

I never knew it was "Heimi" instead of "Heimy"? Weird. Sam the Man 22:24, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

YES IT IS HEIMI. NO IT IS NOT HEIMY. THANK YOU. xD I prefer to call him Heimi. — Acam30 04:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Umm, yay shouting? And the reason it's "Heimi" is that it's a German name, and therefore follows the German practice of having "i" instead of "y" (which is largely a foreign character in that language). Heimstern Läufer 04:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Mkay. That's all I wanted to hear. Thank you. Sam the Man 22:06, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Signature Phase

• Me again, Heimstern! And since I'm at your talk page, I was kind of wondering about replacing my old user shortcut with a signature just to make it look cöoler. Sorry about the "ö" in cooler. So until then, keep up the good work. -Umläut76 14:01, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

German Contest

Are you going to be doing another German Contest, I can speak quite a bit of German, for example:

Hallo! Ich heisse Alex! Ich habe am 24 Februar Geburtstag. Ich komme aus Newcastle Upon Tyne. Ich spiele fussball, weil es prima findet, aber ich spiele Schlagzeug, das ist fantastich! Ich habe keine Haustiere, aber ich hatte gern einen hund.

I couldn't get umlauts and please forgive me if my spelling sucks.

Hallo!

HI! Thanks for being so welcoming! I showed the translation of the names to my friend who is also taking german, and likes HR, and she wants to know if there is a transaltion for Sterrance? Thanks! -Stark Traurig

I don't think there would be, no. It seems like it's basically just a proper name that wouldn't be translatable (like Bubs). Incidentally, instead of typing out your username, you can write four tildes (like this: ~~~~) and it'll add your name and a link to your userpage. Hope that helps!

What the...

Why did you revert this image? I liked the newer version a lot better. — MichaelXX2 01:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I reverted it because you shouldn't have overwritten an existing image with a completely different image, since some people may still want to use the old image. If you want to use the new image, upload it under a completely separate filename. Notice also that Bad Bad Guy is currently using that image on his userpage. By re-uploading that image, you effectively changed his userpage, which I don't think I need to tell you isn't acceptable. Heimstern Läufer 01:28, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

double post

Sorry about that, not sure how it happened. —Guard Duck ^talk 05:38, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Usually when that happens, it means you hit save a couple times and thus the system registered your post twice. It's especially common if the page takes a long time to load after hitting save: you're like "what's taking so long?" and you hit save again, but actually it already got it the first time, and hitting save again causes a double post. I dunno if that's what happened here. In any case, it's no big deal, as it was easy to revert to one post. Heimstern Läufer 05:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hey thanks for blocking that Ren Guy. Me and MichealXX2 kept reverting his vandalism till a sysop like you came! Thanks again!-Record307 ^Talk/_Contribs 01:47, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

An extremely important issue

Is this legitimate German?

I have no way to tell because I am German-illiterate but you are my German go-to guy okay - Super Sam 06:46, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Not sure what this is I'm reading, but to provide a brief analysis: Of course, the ending line and stage direction, being written in English, are not legitimate German. I suspect (would hope!) you already knew this. The opening line, SB's line and The Cheat's line are legitimate German, except the word "basebell", which is neither a legitmate German nor English word, so far as I'm aware. I find Homestar's line very curious. In and of itself, it doesn't make a grammatical or logical sentence, but leave out that "Hallo" at the beginning and throw in a couple umlauts and some better capitalization, and you've got the title of a duet from Mozart's The Magic Flute, "Bei Männern welche Liebe fühlen". How that fits the context of the rest of this work is beyond me. So, there you go. I guess the answer to your original question is "kind of". Heimstern Läufer 07:12, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Sandbox deletion

When you deleted the Sandbox, you basically erased eleven thousand edits that I can't get back - I timeout before the undelete page loads. Would have been better just to edit the Sandbox to no longer be a redirect. Too late now (hopefully Dot com can fix it?), but just a heads-up for next time. --Jay (Gobble) 02:11, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

The deletion was accidental because Phlip and I attempted to revert a move at the same time: the result being that he moved it, and then I accidentally deleted it to make way for a move (an incorrect move, since it had already been made). And yes, we can't do anything about it for now, though I imagine DC should be able to. Incidentally, I've just had an idea that might be appropriate to stop this from happening again. Heimstern Läufer 02:15, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Oooohhhhh... my apologies. I didn't read far enough into Recentchanges to fully comprehend what happened. Sorry for making it sound like you did something wrong. But, yeah, turning off moving was a good plan... shame it didn't happen sooner. --Jay (Gobble)

Never seemed necessary until this evening, did it? That's always the way; no one realizes what preventative measures they need until the thing that needs preventing occurs. No problem about misreading the situation, by the way; it was rather confusing. Heimstern Läufer 02:24, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

HOW DO I DELETE A PAGE!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-Espe Pwnage

Only sysops can delete pages. Heimstern Läufer 02:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Man, I really wanted to help with that vandal!-Espe Pwnage

Well, if there are no sysops around, you can use {{delete|Vandalism}} to tag the page. But if there's already a sysop dealing with it, it's not necessary. Also, it's not a good idea to shout and yell when we have vandals around; seeing people react that way may actually make them want to troll even more. If a sysop's around, they'll get to cleaning it up whether you shout or not. Heimstern Läufer 03:02, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

On a related note, I do hope that you sysops have a way of deleting/surpressing the edits made tonight, since I really don't want to have those show up in the histories... ick. wbwolf (t | ed) 06:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I may not be the best person to ask that question, since I don't do much with images. Assuming you're using the default skin, the upload file button should be in the toolbox on the left. If you need more help than that, you can ask and I'll get someone to answer your question. Heimstern Läufer 18:20, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Question about my banning?

It is a perma ban, right?

Just wanting to clarify. Ugozima Talk to me 04:40, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Mm-hmm. Heimstern Läufer 04:44, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

That's bullcrap. Ugozima Talk to me 07:28, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Opinion noted. Heimstern Läufer 07:52, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

What is with you trying to suck the fun out of anything? I (unfortunately) requested /b/ to eliminate you. However, I don't think the post went through. Ugozima Talk to me 08:37, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

From what I've seen, your definition of "fun" seems to be "posting hostile comments". In other words, trolling. Under that definition, I'll gladly suck the fun out of anything. Though before you continue to accuse me or try to get me "eliminated", I remind you that it was not I who banned you from the forum; indeed, it was done before I even saw the topic you made about me. In fact, the admin who banned you was ready to do so when you sent me that hostile PM on 31 July, about a week before your actual banning. He only didn't do so because I asked him not ban you. Heimstern Läufer 08:48, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I know that you didn't ban me. It's just that since I do not know who banned me. (Nor do I want to know). But the point is, my definition of "fun" is Pokemon and Mario and Kirby and random animated gifs and torturing Sims in The Sims 2 and 3. Does that make me a bad person? Plus, I only "trolled", quotes due to the fact that I believe calling someone a moron isn't trolling someone as they've said it in Homestar cartons, why not here? Like three times. Ugozima Talk to me 10:09, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Is there a reason we're having this conversation? You haven't asked me to do anything, nor have you brought any substantial discussion of my actions (only a vague reference to my "sucking the fun out of" things). If there's something you want to ask me to do or an action of mine you want to intelligently discuss, please do so. If not, I can't see that there's anything more for us to talk about. Heimstern Läufer 10:44, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, there is. From what you said, the admin who banned me wanted to do so due to the hostile PM I sent you. If I recall, the only hostile part of the PM was "Freaking Nazis". Now, that may seem hostile, but as any intelligent person may say (not saying you aren't) when someone is angry, they do things they regret. Like hitting a woman or starting a fight or saying n____. Also, I have received several PMs since I was banned, and since I'm banned I can't read them. Ugozima Talk to me 10:28, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

You still haven't told me what you want me to do, if anything. Heimstern Läufer 10:40, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I just want to be unbanned to read the PMs. Ugozima Talk to me 11:06, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

From what I understand, you called him, or at least someone, a Naiz. If that was because he speaks German, that's actually just as, if not more offensive as the other N word. You are basically putting him down in a way that is frowned upon in most civilized conversation. Nazis were not good people, to say the very very very {goes on for ten minutes} least. To call someone that, even as a joke, is unnaceptable in my opinion. Just wanted to clear that up. This isn't up to me, but I just wanted to say what you did was wrong. I'll leave this to the people who have the happy power to ban people. L%C3%A4ufer, this is up to you. Do your worst. --Jellote wuz here 12:57, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I was calling him a Nazi because he was trying to make the forums a serious place of discussion where you aren't allowed to really do anything fun on the forums. Just have serious discussion. Which, works for some forums. Forums for a web cartoon it doesn't. Ugozima Talk to me 13:06, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

At this point, we're not willing to unban you, sorry. I understand that people do in fact do things in anger that they later regret, such as your sending me that hostile PM, but that doesn't change the fact that people have to live with the consequences of those actions. Furthermore, it was not one offence but several that got you banned: your calling another user a moron and your hostile reply when I told you not to, the "Freaking Nazis" message and your "Go Funk yourself" thread (which, may I point out, you continued to post in after Homestone Wrecker pointed out that it was going to get you into trouble). Lose your temper once, that might be a minor thing; lose it repeatedly, that's different. The fact that you've continued to be hostile in this very thread on my talk hasn't helped your case either. In short, no, we're not unbanning you at this time. Heimstern Läufer 13:43, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

That may be, but as you yourself may be presently aware of, I screwed up my grammar in the last sentence. But, as you may know, if my memory serves me right, I made the Nazi comment in the same PM. Now, most, if not all forums, would do it in this order. Calling someone a moron. Warning in a post. Insulting someone in a PM, simply asking what was wrong and why I did it. Telling someone to go Funk Themselves, a warning, and depending on the severity, a temporary banning of up to a month or so. All aside, I just want to read the freaking PMs. Ugozima Talk to me 13:55, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

What other forums would do is immaterial. We are bound by no forum's convention save our own, and if we're a bit less tolerant of misbehaviour than some others, that is no one's business but our own. As for the PMs, you should have thought of that before you behaved in such a way as to get banned. If you know who sent them to you, have them resend them using another mode of communication. If not, sorry, you're out of luck. Heimstern Läufer 14:00, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I didn't want to do this. I have ordered /b/ to place a DoS attack on the forums. Targeted only at you. They may or may not comply with it and effect anyone. I'm sorry. Ugozima Talk to me 14:08, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Threatening a denial of service attack goes beyond a mere dispute between us. If you threaten the whole site, you are not welcome here, so I've blocked your account indefinitely. Heimstern Läufer 14:37, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Drama on IRC - I need an adult

Could you please ban the user Jicem from the #hrwiki-fanstuff channel? He's been really annoying to all of us for months now and we'd just like a bit of peace. Here's a sample:

<Jicem> Until the Industrial Revolution, it wasn't easy to pick all that cotton and those crops

<Jicem> They needed help

He is talking about slavery. He's also been constantly ranting and raving about his extremely conservative agenda, even after we've requested him to stop. I know you don't have ops on that channel, but could you put in a word for us with the higher ups? That'd be swell. -- nachobra 19:44, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Um, NachoMan, I know I didn't look good when I started out, but if you read all the logs, you know that I was giving a reasonable opinion. Plus, no one ever told me to stop, they just flamed and threatened me. JCM 00:35, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

First, for the record, I've spoken to NachoMan on IRC about this matter, and I believe that I've done everything I can on the matter. Secondly, as a general and purely advisory remark, I'd suggest we all be more sensitive about what we say and that we all do everything we can not to be easily offended. That's about all I have now.

That comment that you reverted was a big embarrassment for me. I don't want to show those people who read through talk page archives, and I don't want to look at it every time I look at that archive. --Fangoriously 01:15, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Then I suggest contacting the user who owns that talk page in private and asking him to remove it himself. And besides. How often do people read old talk page archives? — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 05:40, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

What Elcool said, pretty much. It's not something for you to remove once it's been answered and even archived; instead, it needs to be the person who "owns" the archive. I don't think it should be that big an embarrassment; we all make mistakes from time to time, and most people who read it (which, as Elcool observes, is likely very few people, anyway) will likely chalk it up as a newbie error. And we've all made those. Heimstern Läufer 06:29, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Notes from Maudi

Hi, Heimstern Läufer!

A user named Druelselstein X2000 wants to "improve" those orders of Strong Bad's and The Cheat's commentaries on Main Page 15, and I don't care if that guy's doing at this situation, like messing up with Homestar Runner Wiki. But he wants to improve the orders of Strong Bad's and The Cheat's commentaries on Main Page 15. I dare not agree with that user, and I only want Main Page 15 as it is. So... look out with Druelselstein X2000, he can sometimes mess up with Homestar Runner Wiki, but I just don't care of how those orders of Strong Bad's and The Cheat's commentaries on Main Page 15 is, but it doesn't make any sense for us, especially me.

700,000 Revision WAS Removed...

this link says so. Put in a 1 instead of the last zero and you'll see this is an actual way to see any revision, so I'm not making stuff up. ColdReactive 08:51, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Assuming that diff ever existed, it wasn't removed by any admin or editorial action, so there's nothing we can do. Besides, as I think you pointed out on your talk, the 700,000th edit is kind of a trivial matter, anyway. Heimstern Läufer 08:55, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Cold Reactive - i think Heimstern already knows about that. i don't think the edit itself was removed. It appears to take two edits to move a page, and then two more to move a talk page. so 699999 and 700000 were combined into one edit, unfortunately numbered 699999, and 700000 was no longer usable. The same thing happened between edits 700011 and 700016. w/e; i'm sure HL can give you a better answer than i can. HL, anything you'd like to add/correct to that? The Knights Who Say Ni 09:01, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, no, I've nothing more to add. Your answer may be correct; I dunno.

The New Uzi-Bazooka edited his user page three minutes later. This leads me to believe that that ip could be The New Uzi-Bazooka logged out. Though we do enforce the policy that you must log in to edit your user page. 2. for future reference, it wasn't a spam attack. 3. is there a reason you put this thread here instead of in Heimstern Läufer's current talk page?
