Welcome to JoeyDay's Comment page

This is not the general help desk of the Wiki. If you need help, go to the FAQ page or visit the forum and use the help desk there. Don't be suprised if I'm not the first one to answer your question. There are many knowledgable people who spend more time here than I do. They are usually quick to help others, and they know what they're talking about, so you can usually trust their answers. If you absolutely need an answer from me, or if you have comments, feel free to leave them below.

I've recently created an archive for talk page threads. If you came here looking for an old conversation, be sure to check there. Thanks.

If you leave a comment/question here and it dissappears, look for it in the FAQ or the talk page for the FAQ.

Fun Fact Confirmation Committee (FFCC)

There are soo many incorrect fun facts out there that I think we need a committee divoted to removing said facts. Just by looking arround the random pages makes me want to hurl a brick through my screen. And, once these facts are removed someone just resertes them. Not only that, but people are removing fun facts that are perfectly acceptible. Its annoying! Even the Stuff page doesnt work well. Thus, I propose this committie to have power over what facts stay and what goes. They are given a protocol, and if a fact passes the protocol than committie confirms the fun fact (perhaps by typing confirmed and signing) and removing/stuffing fun fact (maybe put "rejected/stuffed by FFCC" in the comment section) so that way some one has a final word on these fun facts. What does everyone think? -- _{Posted by:} -erson ^Talk 18:16, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well, first off I think you should sign your talk page posts. Second, don't you think this question would be more appropriately asked on the STUFF talk page? If you really want this to happen, Firebird, you need to rally community support. I can't and won't make any executive decisions about things like this. That said, I don't have a problem with a fun fact committee. In fact, I like the committee scheme because it helps people feel useful and needed in our community.

I have my own ideas about fixing fun facts, though, and I'm not sure a committee's going to do it. I've been a quiet advocate of STUFFing the STUFF page and moving fun fact discussions to the talk page for the appropriate articles. On the real crazy toons and emails, perhaps we could have a boilerplate that says something like "Please check the discussion page before adding or removing any fun facts." That's my two cents, and two cents is about all it's worth around here. —JoeyDay (Talk) 17:05, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Just popping in to say that Firebird did not write this, it was -erson. Aurora the Homestar Coder 18:13, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Account Removal

Can I politely ask you to delete my H*RWiki Forum Account? (it's "BurninatorBoombox") I don't want to have two, and I really need to get more involved in the Wiki business. Thanks, MK and/or BurnBox 03:41, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

New Main Page Mockup

Wow. It's like... A mini-wikipedia! Well I sort of like it, but I do like having all the catergories right at a click, including the Wiki stuff, Inside Jokes, ect. Also Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Weekly fanstuff are kinda left out. I don't know, to tell you the truth. I do like the featured article idea, but how exactly would that work? Would we have to add the first paragraph or two by hand, or would it be automatic somehow? I like the H*R updates easily there, and a few fun facts would be kinda... well.. fun. Yea, I like it. My main concern is that we're loosing a bunch of the main page shortcuts to pages. Overall though, I think a change would be a good thing to look forward to. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:34, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm certainly not stubborn about the way the categories were done. Drhaggis has some better category schemes on his userpage. I'm certainly open to additional suggestions. —JoeyDay (Talk) 22:53, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Btw, what's with the article? Is it just jibberish, or is it a different language? And if so, why? Also, is there a future plan to replace current main page with said mockup? If so, at what time? Thanks. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 03:20, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Lorem ipsum. -- Tom 03:34, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Yes, or as I prefer to call it, Lipsum. —JoeyDay (Talk) 02:53, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

CSS3 fix

Hi there. I think a[href = "http://www.homestarrunner.com"] {color:green !important;} should fix things for you. For some reason a:visited {color: #5a3696;} takes precedence if the former doesn't have the !important. -- Tom 03:31, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Wow, I just barely thought of that before I read your post. Great minds think alike. Thanks, Tom. — Joey Day (talk) 04:00, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
