==Favorite Weather Links==
I am interested in a career in [[Wikipedia:Meteorology|Meteorology]]. Here are some links to my favorite weather-related sites:

*For hurricane season, the [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ National Hurricane Center]
*[http://spc.noaa.gov/ Storm Prediction Center]

== another weather freak?!?! ==

So you like weather, do ya? Awesome! It's nice to see another weather person on here. As for me, in August, I'm going to begin working on my Master's in Atmospheric Science at The University of Alabama at Huntsville. Weather is most certainly my life.

-Ty "StrongRad" Martin

:Hey sweet, your Masters. Congratulations. I don't know where I am going to go to college yet, but Central Michigan University is my first choice. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 13:01, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Joe, thought you would enjoy reading this, it's got some really funny stuff in it. [http://www.ems.psu.edu/~fraser/Bad/BadFAQ/index.html Bad Meteorology FAQ] from Penn State. Or, for awexsome weather photography, and some funny weather rants, check out SPC forecaster Roger Edwards' page, [http://stormeyes.org/ Storm Eyes].-[[User:strongrad|StrongRad]]

:::Oooo, thanks! —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 12:18, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Great job! ==

I'm really starting to notice how much work you've been doing here. I feel that you're a big reason why this wiki stays clean of trolls, as well as keeping Recent Changes looking nice and patrolled. You get a big pat on the back for all the work you give into the wiki. Great jorb! {{User:FireBird/sig}} 22:51, 3 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Thank you, FireBird! -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 23:12, 3 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Just letting you know ==

I noticed you changed my signature on the Cheat Commandos O's STUFF page, but I changed my signature so that it's supposed to be three tildes. A little insider joke, I guess. Also, I second FireBird's comment above, you really are doing good stuff for all of us here. [[User:Some HSR themed username|[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]]]] (Some HSR themed username) 02:56, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Where'd it go? ==

According to your user page, you created the DVD commentary transcript for [[the bet]], but it doesn't appear to be present. Did you forget to type it up? Might want to fix that before someone takes the lack of a transcript's presence for the lack of a transcript and robs you of your glory!

Keep on tranglin',
Larry Pat-no, [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 14:48, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Suicune64: I read "Writing DVD commentary transcript for [[the bet]]." Present tense. Also note the "Currently working on" at the top of that list.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:50, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I did see the present tense, but I can say one of my accomplishments was "writing something," so that's not what I missed. The part I '''did''' miss was the "Currently working on". D'oh. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 15:43, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Yes, actually, I have yet to start writing the commentary transcript for the bet, because my DVD player is acting up with disc 3. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 14:53, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==STUFFing==

Don't beat yourself up. It was good work for a first time. Good prize! I saw your mistake and was tempted to fix it, but I decided to let you figure it out. It's the only way we truly learn. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:37, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I got it working, finally! I've been putting it off, but I knew sooner or later, I would have to teach myself how to STUFF. Ah, I am so proud of myself. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 22:38, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I'm always interested in feedback to help make the process smoother... Was there anything that should be tweaked? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:::Really, I have no clue if I failed to do something just right. No, don't bother yourself with tweaking. It worked for me. You get a pizza. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 22:42, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Trolled==

Dude, sorry about being trolled. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

:Well, I certainly didn't think my little [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Cutesy_Buttons&curid=1859&diff=0&oldid=111236 wish] would have been taken as an invitation. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 22:36, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== User page ==

Also, I'd like to know if adding this discussion topic to the pages I have, and also I would like to know if I can add you to my favorite user list? [[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 03:05, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)Thechamp

:I didn't understand the first part, but, yes, you can add me if you want. It's your user page. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:10, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::JOE! Are YOU awake yet? It's dot com isn't, and I want the discussion on my page to start. If possible, can you notify other people about the discussion? Thanks. [[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 12:39, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::No. Your talk page is not meant to be a place to hang out and talk about nothing in particular. There are chat programs and [http://forum.hrwiki.org/ forums] for that. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 12:49, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::Yaeh I know, but I need a limited select few people to voice thier opinion on the topic I chose, you see, I happen to trust your opinion, it's not evan that big a deal, it's just an idea I had once in 2004 about a cartoon, I was never emailed back by the chapmans and wanted to know if my idea is good. if you wish to hear my idea, please go talk about it on my page, if you could care less, than have it your way. Thank you. -[[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 13:30, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== pi ==

what do you mean, incorrect numbers?

:Strong Bad's record was 13.4 seconds, not 31.4 seconds. So it can't be a reference to pi. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 17:43, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

oops sorry [[User:Smileyface11945|Smileyface11945]] 17:44, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:That's all right. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 17:45, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Am I reading this right? Pi is 13.4 isn't it? Since when is pi 31.4?--[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 07:31, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Pi is 3.14. Well actually, it's 3.1415926535897932384626... etc., but generally rounded to 3.14. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:36, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Oh I mixed 13.4, with 31.4, silly me.--[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 07:51, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Actually, what you've done is mixed 13.4 with 31.4, and then 31.4 with 3.14. Pi = three point one four. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:58, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Redirects and double-redirects ==

Here to say thank you. This is twice in as many days that I've redirected a page to a better title, yet I knew I wouldn't be able to fix the double-redirects right away. Thanks for taking care of that for me. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:52, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:No probalo. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 18:54, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Sad smile ==

Um, is there any particular reason you keep deleting my addition to "The Secrets That I Keep"? I mean, I don't think I've ever seen SS smile anywhere else; isn't that significant enough to be included?

:Aside from him smiling in [[radio]], there is also a photo of him smiling in [[record book]]. Similar fun facts about "This is the only time we see Strong Sad smiling except for this, that, and the other time" have been rejected in the past. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:48, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Huh! Son of a gun, I didn't even notice that photo until you mentioned it! Sorry bout that. :-)

::: Not just those—while Strong Sad is still no shining example of contentness, he's been smiling a lot more lately than he used to. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:27, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Roll of duct tape vs. (American) football ==

Hi, BazookaJoe. I noticed you [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Sample_of_Style_Too&diff=119251&oldid=119231 reverted my edit] for one of the bonus videos on the new Disc 4 release of Strong Bad Emails. I would just like to point out that I confirmed this fact about the duct tape before I changed it on the wiki because I recently purchased the DVD and noticed this discrepancy. If you simply did this in error, I understand. To futher justify me reverting your edit, I took this screen shot: http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1237/ducttape6pr.jpg
 
I never knew footballs had holes in them http://forum.hrwiki.org/images/smiles/emotongue.gif {{User:The Paper/sig}} 02:37, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, I always assumed it was a football. It wasn't until you reverted me that I double checked and found I was wrong! Buh! Duh! Fuh! Interestingly enough, [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005]] transcribed the exact same footage and noted that the object was a "ball." I bet Tom had a hard time telling the difference as well. "When you assume..." —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:50, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Wasn't me. [[User:The Paper|The Paper]] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=NYU_Talk_-_1_Mar_2005&diff=55655&oldid=55651 transcribed that]. Heh.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 02:54, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::What an ironic twist to this story. Anyway, I think such an anomaly as a flying roll of duct tape still constitutes a reference to Sample of Style, even though it is not a football. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:58, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::::Very much so, BazookaJoe. Anyway, I restored the fun fact you added, and I only slightly changed the wording because I also feel it is a reference to the first Sample of Style: "''An object is also tossed to Mike in "Sample of Style," except in that instance, he catches it (a football).''" Can we agree on this? Maybe there's a better way to say this? Thanks. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 03:07, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:::::Of course I agree. Done and done. I might change word choice in the fun fact when I feel inspired. Or maybe someone else will. I stayed up too late last night waiting for the wiki to come back up. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:11, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Question ==

At the risk of sounding like a hipocrit, why are you just letting people write on YOUR user page, oh and thanks for welcoming me, one question, though, were is the list of users?[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 05:37, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:This is my talk page, where people can talk to me about the goings-on at the wiki. Everyone has a talk page and a main user page. Your talk page is the one I welcomed you on. My userpage is here: [[User:BazookaJoe]]. A complete list of users can be found at [[Special:Listusers]]. I hope that answers your questions. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 05:54, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Oh I didn't know this was your talk page, I thought this was your main user page, thanks for answering my question--[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 06:22, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== do over revert ==

Why?

:Strong Bad ''does'' say "fat little body" and not "fine." If it is not obvious, it can be deduced from the context: Strong Bad tries to serenade Ali and Ali's sister, but fails terribly by instead singing about his characteristic flaws. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:19, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::This is kind of changing the subject, since it's definitely ''not'' "fine", but what if it's "phat"? Just a thought. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:27, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::What if it's phat? Then we have a big argument and place a stupid footnote on the page. O.o —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:32, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::Then I won't tell if you won't. I don't want to wake the beast. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:42, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::::Laugh Out Loud. I'll change the heading title, too. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:46, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::::::Well, it ''is'' "fine" but I'm not gonna bother changing it yet.

==Thanx==
Thank you for adding that troll to the list for me. That was my first troll. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}
:No probalo. On my first troll, I added it to the list the same way you did. You'll get the hang of it. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:30, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Bazooka man, what exactly are trolls and what do they do and what can I do about them? Leav a section in my talk page if you want to help me. [[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 14:20, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Okay, this is annoying me now.==
How about instead of just reverting it with the ubiquitous "rv", you try editing whatever the person has added so it fits your rigorous standards, or at least provding a reason once in a while. You know, just swatting away other people's thoughts and ideas without even providing them with the luxury of a reason is a good way to piss people off.
:Okay, I'll do that a little more. By the way, that fact had an extra word, little punctuation, and wasn't a glitch in the first place. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 22:51, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Trolled (again)==
Rogue Leader, I'm not sure what you mean when you say he's patrolling his own edits. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:51, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Quick answer: He's not; it's me; anonnys can't patrol. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:51, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::Joe, it's too bad one or both of us can't block this troll and others like him. (Well, that's sexist. I guess it could be a her. But I always imagine the trolls are guys. It's like the male/female ratio in prison ''way'' favors the men, doesn't it?) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:55, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
I thought that he was going to the recent changes page, hitting the diff button, and patroll his edits. Now I know that Annonys can't vote. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

Man, why do people always troll your user page. Its been trolled 5 times! {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}
:He gets the brunt of it because he's the one doing most of the reverting of the damage. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:56, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::I never sleep. They can't do any lasting damage. That's why they hate me. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:58, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Shark-Tooth Bubs==

Hi, BazookaJoe. Thanks again for [[User_talk:The_Paper#DVD_images|the complement]] you gave me the other day. Anyway, I was going to ask if you still think we should merge the new [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] article with the [[Bubs|the big Bubs page]]. The reason I ask is that recently a lot more information has been added to the article and the most significant argument for its separation is the fact that is was a factory error/mistake.

I also want to thank you for giving me the "inspiration" to make the article since I saw the [[Talk:Bubs#Shark-Tooth_Bubs|comment you made]] about adding a new section. I left a reply for you as well if you haven't seen it yet. One more thing, what do you think about creating [[Talk:Shark-Tooth_Bubs|one huge puppet article]]? {{User:The Paper/sig}} 21:56, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Um, isn't there a discussion about this on [[Talk:Shark-Tooth Bubs]]? But never mind. Shark-Tooth certainly deserves a page more than the other puppets. He is not the same as regular Bubs (Shark-Tooth has a different look and voice actor). On the other hand, the other puppets are just "real" versions of the cartoons. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:00, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:The opinions of the many outweigh the opinions of the few. I'm fine with that part. As for an all-puppets page, I'm neutral at this point. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 22:23, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Vacation ==

What?! You can't! Who will I fight the trolls with? Who will monitor the Recent changes? Just kidding. We've got 'cha covered. Have a good time. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:36, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Please allow me to reciprocate the [[User talk:Some HSR themed username#Vacation|request]] you gave me when I left for vacation. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 02:40, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Ahhh, everything's better on a laserdisc, ya'll. Have a great time troll hunting. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:44, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::I am adding your page to my watchlist with this edit (why wasn't it already there?) just in case any of your old "friends" come around. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:47, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:What the—? How the—? Guh. I blame this on 1) logging in and jumping into the reverting while the trolling was ongoing, and 2) not expecting to have to go back 5 edits to find the last good revision. I saw the page was blank, so I reverted it to the last. That poor page. It takes so much abuse. (Or maybe this is part of my plan to destroy Wikipedia ''{inside joke}''.

Hey, Joe. Our paths have intersected in the past few weeks (I see we even fought some trolling together), but it's been like ships passing in the night. How's school? How's the job? How's Joe? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:33, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, if it isn't my internet twin Dot com! You're so cool for asking. School and everything related to it keeps me busy. Busy, busy, busy. Work is great. Like it a lot. Myself, I'm doing fine for the most part. Always find time for a little H*R now and then. [[Sick Day|Appropriately]], today I've started to develop a productive cough, so I am feeling a little ill in that area. My mother has had a nasty cold thingy for weeks, as well as everybody in West Michigan. Don't know if this cold outbreak extends all the way down to Texas, or Atlanta for that matter. But, yeah. I visited Central Michigan University two Saturdays ago. Loved checking out the meteorology department's room and hallway. There's about 50 undergrads in that program and 3 professors, which is good for me. Going to visit Grand Valley State University this Saturday to see if they can accommodate me for one year before transferring. I haven't ''officially'' decided on going to CMU, but at this point, I really can't see me going anywhere else. Well, I told you about me, now how about you? —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:53, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::I'm doing well. We don't seem to have the cold bug down here, mainly 'cause it's still pretty hot. I'm busy, but the first part of each month isn't as bad workload-wise as the last half, so that's a plus. Yesterday I drove to Arlington and back (total driving time 10 hours) to watch the Rangers conclude the 2005 season. It was bittersweet. As for the postseason, I have my second-favorite Yankees to fall back on as well as the other Texas team, the Astros. If the two should meet in the World Series, I will be really torn as to whom to root for. I can't even give a good guess.

:::Well, the season is past its peak, but its not officially over until Nov. 30. Four more named storms are what is needed to get to Alpha, and I think it's unlikely there will be that many.

::::Howdy BzJ. Regarding your recent sickness, I know how you feel. We've been having this real tough Canadian cold going around here for a few weeks now, and it just started on me. Plus to add to that it dipped below freezing for the first time this winter, so I had to scrape the frost off my winshield this morning at 6:00 am, while wrestling with a cold. Not fun. Hopefully it'll get bad enough by tomorrow or Thursday though that I'll be able to call in to work sick. In other news, Canucks's first regular season hockey game is tomorrow.

== Redirects ==

Tom: I'm seeing some deletion of redirect pages on the deletion log. It looks like most of those pages will not be missed, but it does help to have some "common" misspelling articles redirect to the proper article. This is not for sloppy linking , as no pages SHOULD link to a redirect page. This is for people who come to the site, punch in a name into the search box and are taken to the correct page.

There is always some debate over what constitutes a common misspelling. I created a redirect from Whats her face to What's her face. This seems useful to me. Let me know what you think about this. [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 15:42, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)

:I agree. The ones I've been trying to catch are old links that were not fixed correctly during the move. Things like "MainPage 10" that were used instead of "[[Main Page 10]]" becuase of CamelCase on 'Tavi. The person who created that redirect then went ahead and created one for "MainPage 11", even though nothing linked there. I don't see the need for 21 pages to be created like this. Another example is "sbemail1" and its companions. There isn't a need for that.

:Of course, you also have to remember that we turned on case-sensitivity. That means that "[[What's Her Face]]" and "What's her Face" are also two completely different pages. I'd rather that a link show up in red and someone pick up on their mistake right away then have them continue to make links to redirect pages. But I suppose it would be very hard to keep a lid on things like this once we get going. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:55, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)

::Oh, Contraire! I have often wanted to be able to quickly type "sbemailxx" into the search box to find something quickly.

== Sebastian Coe ==

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Coe 
''He first ran against Ovett in Prague in 1978 in an 800 meter race that neither won. The next year in Oslo, Norway, '''Coe set his first world records''' (in the 800-meter and '''mile races'''). One of the most famous races between Ovett and Coe was in the 1980 Olympic Games in the 1500-meters. Coe won in Olympic Record time.''

=== Further References ===
From http://www.geocities.com/hotsprings/3257/coe.html 
''He beat Ovett's mile record, running it in 3 min 48.53 sec on August 19; only a week later '''Ovett set another mile record, which was then shattered by Coe''' with a 3 min 47.33 sec run on August 28.''

Here are some of his times in the mile: 
''mile <nowiki>3'48''95</nowiki> 1979 Wr (Oslo)'' 
''mile <nowiki>3'48''53</nowiki> 1981 Wr (Zurich)'' 
''mile <nowiki>3'47''33</nowiki> 1981 Wr (Bruxelles)'' 
Note: Wr stands for World Record.

One final reference: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/World%20record%20progression%20for%20the%20mile%20run 

And a quote from you; 
:''"Hmm. [Coe] didn't really run the mile. And he never had the world record."'' 
Could you please cite your references?? As far as I can tell, he not only ran the mile, he also held the world record on ''three'' seperate occasions.[[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]

== Idea ==

How about desktop background downloads for the wiki? Anyone who wanted to create one could, then e-mail one of the admins the image. Then the admin, if approved, could upload it into the wiki images. It's just an idea, but I like the sound of it. I'd love to have an HRwiki background. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

:Hmm. I don't think so. The problem is this, the Wiki is just for information. If you want to make something on your own and then have it somewhere that you could link to from your userpage, that would be better. See, we kind of tread on this uneasy ground with copyrights and the like. Not only that, but there's also the content issue. I know a background that you would make would most likely be good and wholesome for the Wiki and for Homestar Runner, but I wouldn't want to encourage other not-as-good backgrounds to be made. You are always free to make your own backgrounds, keep them to yourself, use them on your computer, and do what ever you want with them.
:As of right now, I'll say this: I don't think you will ever have an official Homestar Runner Wiki background. But I'll ask around and see what I can do. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:43, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

::That's fine with me. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

== Floppy Disks ==

Since you apparently look after the floppy disk section mostly, I figured you would be the best person to ask. How do you feel about a picture of the floppy disk container and it's label beside every listing of it in the inside jokes section? I would be happy to complete that undertaking if you approve. Also, is there anywhere else I could add some pictures? I'm finished the rejects section.

-Thunderbird_L17

:[http://old.hrwiki.org/index.php?page=Floppy+Disk+Container%2FStrongBadEmailDiskLabels Floppy Disk Container/StrongBadEmailDiskLabels]. Check it out. The problem is this: the Wiki is text-based, and information provided through text makes things much easier to search and quicker to load. I'm not really sure that having a screenshot of every different one is needed. Why would it need to be seen by the viewer? Could they simply watch the toon or email instead? One thing that really needs to be done regarding The Container is having the links to the page standardized. Every Fun Facts section on every email and toon that has The Container in it should link to the Floppy Disk Container page in a uniform way. You could get started on that, if you want. And then there's what the disks actually reference. There's a subpage of the Old Wiki page on that needs to be copied over and gone through with a fine-tooth comb.
:Regarding the images, you kind of need to convince me why they are actually needed. Thanks for asking though, this has really gotten me thinking. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:31, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

Well since you already have the list of where the disk case occurs, it should be easy to find the toons to put the link in. I'll get on it later. As far as the floppy images go, I don't think they're NEEDED per-say, but I think it would be kinda cool. It lets people really VISUALIZE the floppys. They would be really small pics too, not full screen. But if you don't want them I won't put them there. As for other pics though, I have been kind of going through the sites putting pictures on everything, if you don't like any of them, feel free to take them off. I just think that any character, object, or place does need a picture to really visualize what the afforementioned thing is. Most of the pages I did only have one or two pics, with the exceptions of The [[King of Town's Castle]] place page, and the [[Tandy_400]] computer page. I kinda may have gone overboard on those ones. Look 'em over and decide. The [[Monkey_D]]'s page also have a few. If you don't like them you can fix them how you see fit. But the widescreen pic in [[Strong_Bad's_Basement]], I'm really proud of that pic. It took me awhile. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 22:24, 22 Sep 2004 (PST)

:Those four pages that you linked to are good. And that basement image is especially good. In some places, it borders on the line of being to much, but I think you played it well. They also could use some small tweaks, but that will all come in good time. As for The Floppies, I think you can make a seperate section on the page for the images and organize them in a table. I actually have all the images, and I can upload them later if you want to use them. (I use them for [http://members.lycos.co.uk/tfpreuss/avatar/avatar.php my avatar] on the forum.) What do you think of that? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:11, 23 Sep 2004 (MST)

Okay, it's up and running..ish. Access it from the regular floppy list. If you have the images, feel free to upload them. Any that you don't have, or don't feel like uploading, I can them. Just upload what you want, and I'll do the rest. Oh, and how do you feel about the naming of images in the Floppy_*name_of_e-mail*.PNG uniformity? You can name then however you want, but I think there should be some form of uniformity in naming the image files. Just tell me if this is okay, and if you're done uploading the images you want. Also, they should all be fullscreen screenshots, right?

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 11:10, 27 Sep 2004 (PST)

Alrightie. Update on the floppy disk container. I've been slowly working away at the Floppy disk container with screenshots page, no help needed there, but as I do so I realized another thing missing from the floppy disk container section, and an actual USEFUL thing, is a breif description and history of the games listed on the floppy disk containers. So that being said, I'm also plugging away at that in my little corner of the floppy disk page. If you would like the commentaries on the main floppy disk page too, which I think would be useful, please let me know so that I can add them to both pages as I go along. No rush though, it'll probably be a few weeks before I'm finished researching them and all. Let me know if you think this would be an improvement to the floppy disk page though. Generally I don't ask permission for editing things, but since you're the senior and keeper of the floppy disk container, I thought it was only fair to ask you. So what are your thoughts?

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 9:45, 6 Oct 2004 (PST)

:I do like the information on what the labels mean, and I wouldn't really call them commentaries. They are all pretty clear cut. Let's see how big they get and then play it from there. Keep them on that screenshot page for now, I don't want to violate [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:44, 7 Oct 2004 (MST)

Hiho. I've run into a roadblock doing the pics. In the e-mail 'lackey', how did you read, let alone get a picture, of the CD case? It's off the screen! Please let me know, or if you have the pic, simply save it as Floppy_lackey.PNG . Please let me know either way whenever. Thanks.

:I used a program called [http://www.flash-decompiler.com/ Flash Decompiler]. It's a free download, so you might want to give it a try. Though I wasn't able to export the actual image, I was able to read the text. But you might have better luck than I did.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:41, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)

Sorry, I don't like treating you like an FAQ, I just have ONE last question. (Probably)...
I have the program, but how do you get the file onto it? It seems like you can only decompile files on your harddrive. Is this so? If it is, how do you get a flash file (SB E-mail Lackey) onto your hard drive? If it isn't, how do you get it from the interent? Last question, probably. I promise. Likely.

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 7:33, 13 Oct 2004 (PST)

:Down the bottom of each toon's or email's page, there's a link for the flash file. Just right click and choose "Save Link As..." or your browser's equivalent.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:57, 14 Oct 2004 (MST)

Thanks, I got it. What do you think of my floppy for Lackey? It's the best I could do... Anyways, I wanted to ask you about the once and only once policy. Though I agree that it's a good policy, I think that the 'see above' thing destroys the look of the summaries, especially once they are all finished. Plus, 'Manhunter New York' appeared in an e-mail at the top, then a toon way at the bottom. So it would be kind of hard to just say 'see above'. Plus since the picture is repeated, why not the explanation? You are the moderater, and whatever you decide I'll abide by, but in this case, since it's only for about 4 floppies, a number that's not likely to be increased, could I just repeat the explanations?

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 6:28, 15 Oct 2004 (PST)

:You know, I do like the idea of having the information on both. Let's try using a tempate instead. Do you think that will work?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:33, 15 Oct 2004 (MST)

Template? I don't know much about website formating or whatnot. Basically everything I do on the Wiki I learn by looking at how somebody else wrote a code, and then copying that pattern. But if you think the template or whatever will work, go ahead. You were right about floating the pictures to the left, making it into tables, all that kind of thing. Just do what you want, and if I disagree I can always revert. But overall I'm happy with what you do. Does this mean that I can put the repeat explanations on the few pictures though, instead of 'see above'?

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 23:49, 15 Oct 2004 (PST)

:Okay, here's what I did. I created [[Template:tongue of the fatman]], [[Template:lode runner]], and [[Template:manhunter new york]]. Check out the page to see if you like it. Now, there's only one place you need to go in order to change the content that will show up for both floppies.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:41, 16 Oct 2004 (MST)

Okay, that works. I don't really plan on editing them much anyways anymore, once the summary is there. But it looks exactly the same, so it's fine. Btw, I fixed the out of place 3.5 inch disk summary, I found a place for it where it fits nicely. Now nothing has two explanations, and the 5.25 inch disks don't have the same summary twice. (See Second 5.25 Inch Disk Summmary)

Hey Tom, I thought JPG format was to be used for videos and pictures, and PNG for all flash material. Plus I think the JPG looked clearer and brighter. If you really don't want it there, then I'll try another way, but I thought I read somewhere that JPG was preferable for pictures, just not for flash. Is the one JPG really that bad? Please clarify. Thanks.

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 06:30, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

:Ah ha. There's a little catch here though. We are talking about a screenshot of a movie or image, and not the actual image itself. Screenshots should always be PNGs. The only kinds of JPGs we should have are photos like [[:Image:TheBrothersChapsBandW.jpg]] or [[:Image:mattchapman.jpg]]. Perhaps an screenshot like [[:Image:puppetdween.png]] better illustrates what I'm trying to say.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 08:35, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

Okay, I getcha. Then I guess I'll just put it back on the old PNG one for now. Thanks. I guess if anything, it adds diversity...

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 19:08, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

Alright, I think it's finally done. I have one more little task though that I can't complete on my own. The three templates, Template:manhunter_new_york , Template:lode_runner , and Template:tongue_of_the_fatman are now unneeded, and as such should be deleted, right? I can't figure out how to.

Sorry, I was just going to get breakfast when I finished my summary, and when I finished it I realized there was a stored version that wasn't there when I started. I didn't have time to merge them so I just uploaded mine, and I was going to merge them when I got the chance, which is now. I did notice the picture though, and already put it up. Sorry about that, I don't want to offend anyone. I'm going to merge them right now. I just figured if I put mine in quickly yours is still stored as a past edit, so that way they're both there if needed. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 12:21, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)

Actually, I never thought about NPOV. While I was doing all this, I used reviews as sources, it's easier to just take the opinions of the writers and condence them. But I think that meathod has given the summaries a multi purpose, to now give you a bit of background about the game for curiosity's sake, but also as a type of mini review, for those who are deciding whether or not to find and play them. It gives the summaries a critical and reviewish type feel. Now to go back and do them all NPOV'D would take some doing, and in my opinion I don't think would be as enjoyable to read. What do you think?
'''Side Note:''' Since they replaced the 5.25's along with the Tandy, do you think they might replace the 2.5's with CD's along with the comp? '''UPDATE EDIT: No they didn't, but on [[Main Page 22]] it reveals [[The Cheat]]'s computer has them.''' I dunno, just a curious little observation.

Basically the reason is that I need the pics of the Floppy Disk Containers from the DVD Main Menus for the Floppy Disk Container page.

== SB Email categories ==

I moved the [[:Category: Strong Bad Email]] as a sub-category of [[:Category: Strong Bad Filmography]]. All the emails were in both categories when technically all SB Emails are part of his filmography by default. It cleans up the Strong Bad filmography nicely and keeps the all the emails grouped together. There is only one email that SB is not in, but due to this arrangement will still be included in his filmography, but taking the IMDB as a guide, if someone guest hosts the "Late Show with David Letterman" it is called "Late Show Backstage", but it still shows up on Dave’s filmography. - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 09:01, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

:Personally I don't think this really makes sense. An email that Strong Bad is not in should not be in his Filmography, despite what IMDb does. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]]

::I agree. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

:::I also found it a bit confusing. Strong Bad, Homestar, and Marzipan are in all of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]s, but I don't think that should be a sub-category of any one of their filmographies. I think it would not be confusing to have every email be directly in Strong Bad's Filmography, except [[anything]], just how it was. It would also be less confusing for someone just looking at any email and thinking to themselves, "Oh, this one isn't listed in Strong Bad's Filmography", since it does not show up directly on the page as it is now with the subcategory. That's really what it comes down to, that [[:Category: Strong Bad Filmography]] does not show up on the emails. Oh, and the "anything" thing too.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:56, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

:::Funny, the IMDB is a suitable guide to determine the precedent for a voice over. To me the Filmography categories are proving to be more trouble then they are worth and a misapplication of the original intent of the category structure. I understand wanting an automatically generated list for the 12 main characters that show up in everything, but it seems from all the other character pages that the Wiki users are more than capable of manually tracking the appearances of even the most obscure psudo-characters.

The stucture:
<pre>Character->Filmography->Strong Bad Filmography->Strong Bad Email</pre>

:::makes a lot of sence to me. SB is in all but one email, which can be explained by a note. If having 100+ emails cluttering the SB filmography and being unnessicarily duplicated in the email list and in the email category doesnt bother you, then it wont bother me.

== Who's In Charge Of The Main Page Anyways? ==

Hiho. I'm not getting much of a response on the [[Talk:Main Page|Main Talk Page]], so I figured I'd go straight to the source, assuming that the source(s) are moderators. Anyways, here's my question. Who's in charge of the Main Page, not so much the look of it, I don't really care about that, but moreso the organization of the links to pages. Now I'm no moderator, but I was curious as to why the links are organized the way they are. Why are Inside Jokes part of Wiki Stuff, Yet Songs part of Knowledge Base? I've been thinking about the layout, and I belive I've figued out a good way of sortage, and am hoping for either a yes or a no. Either one, as long as I can maybe get some kind of explanation as to why they're sorted the way they are, should the answer be a no. Anyhoo, without further ado, I give you my sorting idea...

Basically it consists of the Knowledge Base containing ONLY the things listed on the H*R main page(s), and putting everything left over into Wiki Stuff. It would look something like this, and would have the added bonus of evening the two sections out, leaving External Links on the bottom...

(The Knowledge Base Stuff)

* [[Toons]]
** [[Strong Bad Email]]
** [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]
** [[Teen Girl Squad]]
** [[Powered By The Cheat]]
** [[Puppet Stuff]]
** [[Holiday Toons]]
* [[Games]]
* [[Characters]]
* [[Downloads]]
* [[Store]]
* [[Email]]
* [[Legal]]
* [[Main Pages]]
** [[Weekly Fanstuff]]
** [[Quote of the Week]]
** [[Sketchbook]]
* [[Museum]]
* [[Secret Pages]]

Then this to the right of it: (Perhaps the first part even in an additional section?)

* [[Places]]
* [[Items]]
* [[Songs]]
* Quotes
* [[Glossary]]
* [[Inside Jokes]]
* "Rejects"
(Perhaps another section here?)
* [[Special:Listusers|List of registered wiki users]]
* [[Links]]
* [[Sightings]]
* [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]]
* [[HRWiki:Ledger|Ledger]]
* [[HRWiki:Projects|Projects]]
* [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]
* [[WikiTroll]]
* [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|Welcoming committee]]

Then the external links in another catergory. Is there any problem with this layout? The idea behind it is that the first section are your main ingrediants, and the second one is things that you can make out of them. I just belive that things such as Rejects and Inside Jokes should be in the same catergory as things such as songs and items. Any answer to this would be much appreciated, and then I'll shut up about it. Thanks alot Tom. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 02:33, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I'm not really sure. Your line of thinking makes sense, however I'm thinking it is our system of classification that really seems to be the issue. Inside Jokes? Rejects? What the heck are those really? Things need to be clearly defined and a system needs to be implimentated to classify things.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:57, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

Hmmm... Thats a good point. Okay, well at least keep my organizational idea in mind as you go about implementing the changes.

== STUFF and Fun Facts ==

As you may have read I have an issue with the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page. I am very glad someone has spearheaded an attempt to control the "fun fact" problem, but I still think that the voting and discussion for disputed Fun Facts should be made on the article's talk page and not on the STUFF page.

If a controversial article like [[Wikipedia:History of Israel]] can exist on the Wikipedia by using the Talk page and without resorting to a common page voting system, I think the Homestar Wiki article [[virus]] can too.

Now that we have people's attention with the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page I suggest that we move content discussion back to the Talk pages where they belong.

I have created a preliminary template:disputed

It reads as follows:{{disputed}}

This could be used to let contributors know that there is a dispute, and to direct them to the talk page. The Disputed Fun Facts link should go to a page with the info that [[User:furrykef |furrykef]] wrote on what is and is-not a good fun fact.

People were not using the talk pages effectively in the past, which is a failure of us the users, not of the talk pages.

-[[User:Drhaggis|[[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]]] 16:35, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I completely agree that talk pages are not effectively used by our users. I did read your comment on the talk page and did like some parts of it.

:You mentioned there that the popularity of the "Stuff" page is typical of a sloppy discussion forum and not an article based reference guide. I indeed was amazed at all the users who were very interested in voting. It appears that a quick vote and comment is much easier than proposing fixes and improvements.

:You also presented the idea that this problem inherent mostly because the Homestar Runner Universe is finite. I completely agree. I also believe this is why some users, instead of improving on articles that already exist, create very small articles for very fringe elements of said universe. While I don't think that the Stool article may be one of these, I'm not entirely interested in proposing other examples at this time.

:While this may not be the time or place to discuss your other comment on that talk page about proper classification, I believe it would be important to address that issue with whichever system is accepted for the dealing with fun facts.

:As [[User:furrykef|Kef]] noted in his reply to your comment, the STUFF process was loosely based on Wikipedia's Votes for Deletion process. I do like Wikipedia's VfD process and have participated in it in the past, but as you may notice we don't have a system like this for dealing with the deletion of pages because we are so small. It works for Wikipedia but would simply would not work for us.

:Throughout my travels around Wikipedia, I have seen several pages with notices like the one on the [[Wikipedia:History of Israel]] page. While I don't believe the scale of discussions here will every reach such a level as that, I am willing to investigate the possibility of using such a system.

:If we were to adopt your proposal, I would want some sort of centrally located instruction page. As you mention, this could contain some of Kef's rules from the STUFF page. I'd also want it to list all the pages that are currently going through the process.

:Of course, your proposal is in direct conflict with the current STUFF system, which the users seems to have latched on to. I like your proposal, but I'm interested in hearing how you would implement it given the current circumstances.

:Thank you for being bold enough to propose an alternative.

Yeah, hi. You asked how I made those pictures? Well, I have a screenshot program that only makes Jpegs (which I later save as PNG's), so you can see why the quality would be poor.

:I think the "Rejects" page should be deleted. If we as a community have deemed a character or item "article worthy" we simply create the article and categorize it accordingly.

== Rejected Halloween Costumes Task ==

Hi Tom! Thunderbird here again, with a special task for a few of my fellow users. On the [[Sketchbook]] page, in the [[Sketchbook#In The Museum|Museum]] section of that page, the last picture is a bunch of rejected halloween costume ideas. The caption gives the challenge '10 bucks to anyone who can identify them all'. So what I propose is to identify them all. I've already set up a basic 'top left to bottom right' type list under the 'Description' section, with the two most obvious costumes in it. But can we get the other costumes, and win ourselves $10? Any costumes you know would be a help. Thanks. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 02:14, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Update: The good Doctor Haggis was far faster with that task than I could have ever expected. All the costumes are done with the exception of one: The full body [[Marzipan]].

Any better ideas as to who this mystery Marzipans could be, or even just your opinion as to weather or not she's Belle?

== Rock Opera Context Note ==

Tom,

Hello. I hope your day is well.

I disagree with your moving the work left to do on the rock opera context page to the discussion page, for the simple reason that NOBODY will see it there. If it can't be on the main page, then it should be deleted altogether, as it is serving no purpose.

The point of putting up the note was to aid people in knowing which words were still missing and at the same time encourage those die-hard troupers out there to help complete the page (kind of like a game). You know who I'm talking about: that special someone who is gonna figure out exactly which "I" was used from "lackey".

Therefore, I believe the note should be reinstated at the head of the main page. Besides, it's only temporary... just till we get this thing done.

Kind regards, 
[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:58, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

:I understand and appreciate your concern. However, articles are designed to be read as articles and nothing else. There should never be notes or instructions left for future editors. This is mentioned explicitly in the [[HRWiki:Standards#Don't use conversational style|don't use conversational style]] section of the [[HRWiki:Standards|wiki standards]]. Wiki users, especially the die-hard troupers you mention, know to look at Talk pages. That's what they are for.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:05, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

I see your point. I still don't completely like it, but at least I agree with you now. This particular page is close to my heart because I'm the one who set it up and got the ball rolling on filling in the words (although, I'll admit that ''someone'' would have done it eventually). It also happens to be the very first page I've created for the Wiki. I'm so pleased that the community has deemed the page useful and that they're helping to finish it with such vigor. I watch excitedly as each new entry is filled in. (I would do more research myself, but I've got this stupid ''job'' thing where I have to be if I want money. You probably know how that goes.)

Cheers, 
[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 11:49, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

So how do I view them ahead of time? Thanks Tom. ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 03:24, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:When you view edits via the RecentChanges page by clicking on the "diff" link, you now have the option to "[Mark as patrolled]". This removes the red exclamation point on the RecentChanges list, alerting other sysops that you've checked out that edit so they don't have to.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:49, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::Sweet, That's useful. I was wondering what those red marks were for. Okay, thanks. ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 04:06, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::Actually, you can mark a change as patrolled if you are or aren't a sysop. At least, I could. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

::::Hey, you're right. The requirement is simply that you are a logged in user.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:25, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::::Oh. Well then... Coun't a troll mark his own change as 'patrolled'? Or are trolls generally just accepted to not be that smart, or have that long of an attention span?

::::::Generally, trolls != smart. But yes, any logged in user could mark any edit as patrolled.

== Format Help ==

(copying what's on my Talk page) Hi there -erson. I've deleted your "formathelp" Template and Category. If something is formatted incorrectly, just fix it. Notes for future editors like that should not appear in articles, as per the [[HRWiki:Standards|Wiki standards]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:53, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:I realise that, however it is I that do not know advanced formating, d would like to keep this notes inthe pages I am planning to make. And shouldnt that *this page requires clanup and revision* template be deleted too as it would be a note to future editors?-- <tt>Posted by: [[User:-erson|-erson]] [[User talk:-erson|Talk]]</tt> 18:43, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::[[Help:Editing]] contains all the advanced formatting you should need to make a page. You can also use the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]] for practice and ask questions and request help from other users (I'd be happy to assist). The Cleanup template isn't really a note to future editors so much as a notice that a page needs work done on it. So there's really no need for the "formathelp" template. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 23:13, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[[User:FireBird|We]] have a problem with Trogga. He's been making alot of edits that boarder on Trolling. Just look at his [[User talk:Trogga|talk page]] and you'll [[Special:Contributions/Trogga|see what we mean]]. Make no mistake about it, he does make good edits too, but a large chunk of them are mass deletions of text. So what should we do? Is another big deletion grounds for blocking? Or should we continue to follow him around undoing his... overzealousness?

:I know Joey has threatened to block him before. I know he makes some good edits, so just be careful we don't lose a good editor.

:::When quoting an email, you should use <code>blockquote</code> instead of <code>pre</code>. We should set up a style so that blockquoted text has a distinct look.

[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]], a user who's only been around a few months, and whom I've never even HEARD OF, has seemed to claim ownership of it as well, which really isn't a Wiki thing to do. I mean, not even Joeyday does much without a joint decision. I don't want to delete it or anything in case it is sanctioned, but I really think this needs a total overhaul at least, if not total deletion. Can't this thing just be covered under the [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts|STUFF]] page, or it's talk page?

There are only two active sysops there as of right now, and they get overwhelmed occassionally. For example, someone made a page that insulted a user and had profanity in the page title alone. Although several users find about it quickly and marked if for deletion, it stayed around for about two weeks before one of the sysops found it. It took even longer for the creator of the page to be banned. So... yeah, many users think more sysops are needed. Thanks for considering this, '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''.

:Okay. Consider it done.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:15, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm a sysop! Hooray! Um, am I going to be the only new sysop, or am I supposed to set up a nominations page? -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 22:59, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:You're it. Good luck.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:02, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No nominations? Okay. -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 12:08, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Sig ==
What does <code><nowiki>[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]</nowiki></code> do in your signature? I've wondered for a while. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:57, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I've had that there since the very beginning, when we starting using MediaWiki back in 1.3 beta. When I leave a comment, it allows me to put my four tildes right after the period. I could figure out how to do it differently with the new features in 1.4, but I'm kind of used to it.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:57, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Deleters==
How do you become someone who deletes useless articles? And what's a "Sysop"?

: You sorta answered your own question - sysops are the people who delete articles, as well as block abusive users. JoeyDay and Tom select the sysops, but the last time they did, all but one of the new sysops were nominated on a special page by regular users. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:06, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm not asking you, Jay. And even though you responded, you didn't answer the question! I was talking to Tom!

:Umm, yes he did answer both of your questions. The first one is answered by ''"JoeyDay and Tom select the sysops"'', and the second question with ''"sysops are the people who delete articles, as well as block abusive users"''. '''Anyone''' can answer a question set on a talk page, even if they were not the intended reciever of that comment. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 22:29, 10 June 2005 (BST)

:: It's a Wiki -- anyone can respond on any talk page. And Jay's answer is correct. To continue the answer, however, the way you get nominated / chosen for a sysop is by making significant, useful edits (like undertaking large formatting projects) and showing good judgement in both your own edits and in dealing with other wiki-users. Reverting from trolls is also a good thing to do. It only happens when the existing admins are looking for new ones, which I'm guessing won't be for quite some time. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 21:33, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Tom, what is wrong with me making a Message Board like the ones on AOL, where other members can feel free to post friendly messages with other members?

And Jay, how long did it take you to realize that it was I, Sanjuro/Balmung, whom was posting these messages?

:::Sanjuro, my comment earlier was in no way an attempt to be offensive!

::::::As long as we're all here, Tom, what did you mean yesterday when you said to hold off on the STUFF stuff? And I'm still curious about my question in the section right above this one. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

Sanjuro is obviously upset that his work, although not useful, was unceremoniously trashed. He is expressing his anger in the wrong way, in my opinion, but it's at least understandable. I think he put <code><nowiki>{{tobedeleted}}</nowiki></code> on his user page in haste. Did it have to be deleted right away? If not, is there an undelete feature? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:54, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Oh, sure, it's easy to undelete. The entire old history has been saved. I wouldn't have done it if that were not the case (mostly because I have a feeling he thinks that those comments are gone forever). <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:57, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Yes, that's right. If necessary, a sysop can restore any version of any deleted page at any time. Only image deletion is permanent. However, the user in question's work on the aforementioned page was not unceremoniously trashed. It did not belong anywhere in the context of this project and was dealt with accordingly.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:59, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::I know it was dealt with accordingly, but ''to him'' his hard work was suddenly gone.

This website is SO AWESOME! But I think that you guys shouldtake it easy on Sanjuro. By the sound of things (from which I read) all of your comments just made him more frustrated. Watch what you type to this member, cause it just might make him even MORE frustrated.
And Aurora, Captain Planet says "The power is yours", not "The choice is yours". No offense though.

:Tim, after reviewing the database, I can clearly see that you currently you have three accounts:

:#[[User:Balmung of Azure Sky]] (user_id 2001)
:The use of [[Wikipedia:Internet sock puppet|sock puppet]] accounts is highly discouraged. However, I will not delete any of these accounts, since an accurate article edit history record must be maintained. As I'm sure you can see, the user page for the first two accounts has already been deleted per your previous request. If you would like to put any other pages up for deletion, use the <nowiki>{{tobedeleted}}</nowiki> template tag.

Afternoon, Tom. I've been busy all morning closing out old STUFF discussions. I have a little ways to go, though. Also, I wonder if we could speak more about how the page should be redesigned before anything major is done to it. Put a note on my [[User_talk:It's dot com|talk page]] and I'll meet you in the IRC.

:*[[HRWiki:stuff test1|A mock-up article]]
:*[[Template:STUFF/stuff test1|The resulting STUFF subpage]]
:*[[HRWiki:Select_The_Usable_Fun_Facts/stuff_test3|The index (which will become the STUFF main page)]]
:*Plus all the templates so far

:Yet to do:
:*Organize/polish the instructions
:*Create the templates for closed facts
:*Have other users test the ease of use
:*Convert current items to new format

:The hardest part isn't figuring out how this will work. The hardest part isn't even figuring out how to streamline the process to minimize keystrokes and errors. No, the hardest part is figuring out how to explain it so that novices can understand.

I'm sure we're not looking for any new sysops after this thing in April, but I think [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] would be a great sysop.

::I always forget that he ''isn't'' an admin, because he uses the same "reverted from (whoever) to last version from (whoever)" message. I guess he types it in manually... {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 00:29, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::True, but he has only been around for a little over two months. There are some users that have been around significantly longer that I think are also deserving of sysopness. I do like the guy, and would be happy if he became a sysop, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Admins leave it a few months yet before opening another Nomination Window. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:46, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

How's our bandwidth lookin'? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:04, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I'm working on the transcripts as fast as I can... what, do you think I eat, sleep, and breathe Homestar Runner... don't answer that. ;) Seriously, we're working on them. But having Mike mention that he read something on our wiki has got to be the ultimate prize for us. It's like, poring over all the crazy details that we do has, in a small but significant way, paid off. I think we should permit ourselves in this case to announce it in big, bold letters.

== Goofs vs. Typos ==

"Goofs" are mistakes TBC make; for the purposes of our discussion, ''Strong Sad'' made these mistakes. We don't note mistakes Strong Bad makes in his emails as Goofs; rather, we note them in the Remarks. Since there were enough of Strong Sad's mistakes for a whole section, I changed it to "Typos". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:07, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I'm not really the guy who would know the difference. I only made that change for two reasons:
:#"Typos" isn't one of the ways we categorize Fun Facts. [[HRWiki:Standards#Fun Facts|Goofs is]].
:#The Francis Scott Key fact is a Goof. I knew it wasn't a typo, so I changed the header to Goofs for lack of a better choice for that particular grouping.
:That being said, the Key fact is probably the only one of the four that are currently under that header that really is a Goof. The typos by Strong Sad should probably be moved to another section. Maybe Remarks?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:35, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Goofs may be our standard category, but we are flexible enough to accomodate a special category on a toon-by-toon basis. For example, [[50_emails#Homestar.27s_attempts_at_DELETED|Homestar's attempts at Deleted]]. I think these should be grouped together since there are several of them.

== You are appreciated ==

I was looking over your talk page, and it's been way too long since someone wrote to tell you thanks for all the work and maintenance you put into the site. Thank you! I was propted to tell you this today when I saw that, simply by my uploading an image, you created a new template to replace the makeshift GFDL blurb I had on the image; created a new category for other existing, similar images; and then sought out those five other images that should be in the category and added the template there as well—all within the blink of an eye! I would hope that we all make the wiki experience a little better for those around us, and I must say you certainly do that. And then some. Sincerely, [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

== Patrolled Fanstuff ==
Hey, can you edit ''LocalSettings.php'' section of the fanstuff to get rid of those red "patrolled" explanation points in the recent changes there? We really don't need or want them. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

:Before I do anything, I'd like to see the discussion that took place when deciding this. Where is it?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:20, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Oh, well that's a problem. It was on a poll on the second Fanstuff Forum, which is offline for an indefinite amount of time. (it seems that its host quit) I'll create a new poll if you want me to, but I don't think that's nessecary. But if you go there and look at the recent changes, you'll see red exclamation points as far as the eye can see. We don't use them. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

== It was a joke, not a defacing ==

dude?

:Thechamp, I'm assuming you are referring to my recent deletion of a discussion page (Talk:No Loafing Sign) you started that simply contained "You heard um, No loafing!". Your edit was defacement. Discussion pages exist to discuss articles and their content, not for you to attempt to make jokes or be funny. As such, taking into consideration your previous behavior on the Wiki, especially your edits in the past day and your failure to heed my three direct warnings, you have been blocked from editing for ten days.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:13, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Invitations ==
So, what's up with these invitations-to-anonny's-to-create-accounts dealies? I love the idea; is the concept to extend indiscriminately to all except trolls, or to use in those "Whoa—that was a beneficial edit! Why is this guy an IP?" situations? I ask because [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=24.30.124.162 24.30.124.162] seems to be rather articulate and wikiliterate. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

== WTC?! ==

Mister, Thunderbird, sir, I was just now looking at your comment [http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%97%D7%94:%D7%94%D7%95%D7%9E%D7%A1%D7%98%D7%90%D7%A8_%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%A0%D7%A8 here] and I can say that I have no idea what you're talking about. What did you try to write? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:37, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Haha, I can't remember the exact words I tried to translate. Can you make out any individual words? I belive it was something to the effect of 'Greetings. Talk Empty. Can You Understand?', or something like that. If you can at least read some of the words, (They weren't in any means grammatical), I could probably remember the rest of it and translate for you. The main theme though, was that the discussion page was empty, so I figured I'd fill it up. But I wasn't sure if it was understandable or not. Just out of curiosity, what exactly was I replying to on that page? All I could make out was 'peasants'. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:10, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Ha.. To translate it literally: "Talk look in thin. So; That is... Therefore greeting forgive (To forgive)... Punctuation." (Whatever ''that'' means..) Anyway, you were replying to a my question how to translate ''peasents'' corrctly. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:20, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Well there you go then. What I MEANT to say was:

'''Talk Page Looks Small. So... Hello. Please Forgive My Grammer.'''

:::I knew I had no chance translating the grammar even close, so I just tried simple words. I think it was at least somewhat understandable to get the theme of what I was saying. Oh well, gotta brush up on my Hebrew then I guess... :) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:26, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::In that case, it should be: דף השיחה נראה קטן. אז... שלום. בבקשה סלח לי על הדקדוק שלי. (If you like to read it, it goes like this: Daf hasikha nir'a katan. Az... Shalom. Bevakasha slakh ly al hadikduk shely). The fact that you realy tried to expres yourself in an unfamiliar language is realy overwhelming. Just.. Wow. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:38, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Weird Dream Fun Fact ==

Hey, thanks for asking. I actually heard them say it when they did an appearence at the University of Central Florida in Spring 2004. Someone in the audience asked if they were inspired by things in real life, and that was one of the answers. Since at the time, I didn't know of a resource like this wiki, I never wrote down their answers so I could offer a more specific statement from them, but it's one of a few nifty tidbits that I've tried to include on the wiki so they don't fall into obscurity.

== Story? ==

Hey, Thunderbird, do you still want that story we made about Tom going insane? If not, do you know someone who would keep it somewhere? Because if not, I'm going to delete it. (I'll need assistance on that last part.) — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 14:13, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

::Sent. No problem, Thunderbird. By the way, where's it headed? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 01:14, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

:::Oh I don't know. I might edit it a bit and make a good quality short story out of it. The idea is always the hardest part, and the one we came up with there is first rate. Unfortunitly, I don't have really any animating skills, so it likely won't go any farther than that. If I ever do get around to writing a professionalish type version though, you'll be the first to know. Thanks a bunch. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:39, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

== Personal CSS ==

By the way, nobody could have edited your CSS page even without it being protected (except sysops, but they can edit it even now that it is protected). As a test, find a regular user's monobook.css page, and then log out. It won't let you edit it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:26, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

:Oh thanks. I just finally got around to trying out my monobook to see what the main page would look like. Unfortunitly, it just came up as a blue background, without Strong Bad anywhere. Oh well. Just out of curiosity, are there many other 'change your selections' type pages, specific to each user? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

::Yes. Monobook.js will let you customize your JavaScript. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:02, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

:::Okay, you can keep protecting those, but I'm trying to tell you that they're already protected. Log out and then go to [[User:It's dot com/monobook.css|mine]].

::::Sorry, I was hoping you wouldn't notice. I already had the one protected, I figured it should be both or neither. Guess I'll just go with neither then. Sorry about that. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:03, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:::::Hoping I wouldn't notice? I've got eyes in the back of my, er, keyboard. ;) And there's nothing to apologize for... it didn't hurt anything for them to be formally protected, but it technically didn't help either, and that's what I was pointing out. Besides, you don't have to do anything just because I say so. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:11, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

== How do I join the welcoming committee ==

I want to help out on this site, and I saw you on the list for the committee, so I wanted to ask you how I can join. I put my name on the list by using the edit button, does that mean that I'm on the commitee?--[[User:Thecheat1234|Thecheat1234]] 23:16, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Yes! If you see somebody new, feel free to welcome them in the same manner [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] welcomed you. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 23:27, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

*I find out where all the new users are on Recent Changes, right?--[[User:Thecheat1234|Thecheat1234]] 00:30, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:That is correct, TC1234. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 01:54, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Signature ==

How do I create an online signiture? Besides this:[[User: Ampi|Ampi]]? -Ampi
:Hi there, Ampi. I typed out some instructions your [[User talk:Ampi|talk page]]. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 01:54, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Ever time i do my sig it comes out as:[[User:djm1791|{{User:djm1791/sig}}]] 05:09, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC) can you help?
:[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] has already answered your question on [[User_talk:djm1791|your talk page]]. Simply check "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" under preferences. Happy "signaturing"! {{User:The Paper/sig}} 05:40, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== DVD images ==

Thank you, The Paper. Nothing quite spruces up a DVD page like your images. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:19, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Hey thanks. That is quite a complement, coming from you. You do a great job with the weekly fanstuff and sketchbook. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 16:29, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Store Images ==

Sorry about the images I uploaded earlier. I got about halfway through when I realized the quality was terrible. I just finished editing them and was about to upload the new versions when I got your message. I sort of stumbled upon [[User:Homestar Coder/Store|Homestar Coder's Store mockup]] and thought I'd finish it up. I've got it all finished, but I wanted to upload the pictures before I put the new store version up. -- [[user:mibluvr13|mibluvr13]][[User talk:mibluvr13|dígame]] 17:26, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Homestar's Shades==
I saw that you made a bigger version of the picture on [[Homestar's Shades]]. The picture of Homestar on Main Page 3 did not have his glasses on. I already fixed it. -[[User:Lotionman|Lotionman]] 05:45, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)Lotionman
:Thank you for fixing it! It is really funny, really. I got so caught up in making sure the image was PNG optimized that I forgot that Homestar wasn't even wearing his sunglasses in the bottom right corner. However, when you replaced it, the image seemed to be slightly blurred and the file size doubled. I have uploaded a replacement which is nearly identical to yours, except it is clearer and takes up 50% less space. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 14:55, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Item vs. Character==
To the Paper-
Hi! I'm new so, can I have some help. You are part of the welcoming commitee, so I went to you. Also, [[The Paper]] is my favorite character. Why is he listed as an item instead of a character? - [[User:Tompkins]]
:Hi Tompkins. I'll give you an official welcome message on your talk page shortly. In the mean time, I will address your question: The main reason why The Paper is listed as an item instead of a character is because it has no speaking lines other than its sound effect "preeeeow" and the "Email Strong Bad" message. Also, The Paper does not interact with any characters other than Strong Bad. The Brothers Chaps said the following at the end of the [[animal#Commentary_Transcript|animal DVD commentary]]:

<div style="background:black; color:white; padding:8px; width: 550px; text-align:left">'''MATT:''' ...Over the years, The Paper definitely has become more and more of a— '''MIKE:''' A character. '''MATT:''' It should have been on that big characters poster we made, I think. '''MIKE:''' Yeah. It definitely has a personality.</div>

Nevertheless, most users on the wiki would still agree that The Paper is not a character. But personally I am still open to the idea. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 22:39, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Nice Jorb ==

Hey, nice job on your user page. You made it well. Keep up the good work! --[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 04:47, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Thanks, Martin! I appreciate the complement. I also look foward to working with you on the wiki. See you around. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 04:59, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== I Noticed ==
:Hi there The Paper. I noticed.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:51, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::Trust you to notice. http://forum.hrwiki.org/images/smiles/icon_mrgreen.gif Thanks! {{User:The Paper/sig}} 21:35, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== The Paper Sighting ==

Just read what [http://www.theaterhopper.com/index.php?strip_id=490 Tom] is reading there. Thought of you the second I laid my eyes on it. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:38, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Good find. It's funny when common things are labeled like that. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 15:57, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Tick ==

The reason I had <nowiki>[[Image:wiki_tick]] instead of {{tick}}</nowiki> was because that was before the template was made. Otherwise I wouldv'e made it a template. :-) {{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 23:04, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:But of course. And as I understand it, JoeyDay changed the checkmark/tick icon from Green to Red. Guess it's just a matter of color preference. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 23:11, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I like the red one. {{tick}} {{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 23:18, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Flash cartoon redirect ==

Noice work, Clanky. We took care of them all. Good prize. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:58, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Um, I don't think you got them [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Homestar_Runner_%28flash_cartoon%29 all]. I'm going to have [[User:GrapeNuts|GrapeNuts]] take care of the rest of these. Is this project listed anywhere, or did you two talk about this in chat or something? I was trying to find another place to note that I was helping, but I can't find this mentioned anywhere else. Thanks. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:34, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::No, I didn't want to touch any redirects that users made on talk pages. I'm okay with letting them stay as redirects. It was just a little unspoken project that I started, and The Paper followed through on, just on certain namespaces. But, it's okay to use GrapeNuts. I just had a quick change of mind. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:38, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::The redirect links aren't just in talk namespaces (e.g. they are in the HRWiki namespace). I'll start with just those, and if there's really enough consensus here I don't see why we shouldn't change user and talk pages as well. '''EDIT:''' Heh, in fact, there was a very relevant bad link [[HRWiki:Projects#Links_to_be_fixed|on the Projects page]]. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:49, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Nice. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:55, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::::Okay, the ones in the HRWiki namespace are done, and I also did [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Television_Sightings&diff=0&oldid=146181 one] in the main namespace. Should I start on the User, User talk, and Talk namespaces? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 20:01, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== [[:Image:sbemail136.PNG]] ==

Hi The Paper! The image for [[geddup noise]] has an unwanted black border around it. I tried to upload a better version, cropping off the black border, but I realised the image was protected. Seeing as your online, can you please re-upload the image without the black border, or temporarily unprotect it so I can upload the better version? Thanks, {{User:Rainer/sig}} 12:41, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:I've been meaning to upload a new one. I was sidetracked on another wiki project. Thanks for keeping me aware of this issue. There should a cropped version uploaded now. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 12:49, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Different Cursors ==

What kinds of different cursors are there? Besides the Arrow, Finger, and Crosshair? {{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig}}

What the? Why did I post that on your user page? :S {{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig}}

:There are several. You can find a complete listing in the [http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ui.html#cursor-props W3C spec].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:23, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Troll==
:Hi paper. Just thougt you ought to know that someone messed with the sandbox template. I fixed it, but it said that people who mess with it get blocked, and I figure you can. Their user was 68.101.68.101. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:28, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Featured Article ==

Yep, I noticed that. I'm very impressed with how much it's evolved since I last saw things. Thanks for your help with keeping it going! -[[User:DMurphy|DMurphy]] 04:14, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
:You're quite welcome. I look forward to updating it with you in the future. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 04:18, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

== SBEmail +protect? ==

Hey The Paper. I was just wondering why you protected Strong Bad Emails. I thought it was our policy not to protect anything but the most critical things (i.e. widely used templates and the main page). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:42, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
:If you check the [[Special:Log/protect|log]], you will notice that I unprotected it first, so it was already protected. It seems there is some sort of bug that allows previously-protected pages to be edited. I would suspect it was due to the recent upgrade to MediaWiki 1.5.0. Feel free to unprotect it again. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 02:35, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
::There's a simpler solution. Tom protected it from page moves only. You must not have checked the box when you re-protected it. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:09, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

:::I've unprotected and reprotected from just page moves. Hmm, we might want to submit a bug report for that (that is, that there's no distinction between the two types of protection in the log), or at least make it a feature request.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I have taken up the glorious task of representing [[The Paper]]. You know, that personified sheet of paper that comes down at the end of nearly every [[Strong Bad Email]]. As for my duties, I am currently a forum administrator over at [http://www.strongfans.com StrongFans Forum] but I still try to be faithful here as well. I actively contributed on [http://old.hrwiki.org Ye Olde Wiki] a few months after I discovered the world of Homestar Runner when [[the process]] was the newest Strong Bad Email, circa July [http://web.archive.org/web/20031203005304/http://hrwiki.joeyday.com/ 2003].

*"Lappy's not going to bite you or tear at your perforated edges!"
*"Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny!"

==Future after Strong Bad Email #173?==
[[Image:montage thepaper.PNG]]
===Is obsolescence in the distant future?===
In [[montage]], we learn that Strong Bad will be replacing The Paper with an inkjet version come Strong Bad Email #173. Hopefully [[The Brothers Chaps]] will have forgotten about this by then. However, if they '''do''' remember, we can estimate how much longer The Paper has to live. Let's say there are three new Strong Bad Emails added each month. This will likely not be the case, since there are toons and other updates on many Mondays. Provided TBC do not discontinue updating, that works out to little over a year of emails with The Paper in them. However, some people will tell you that TBC were obviously joking when they wrote about The Paper in montage, as the caption uses words in the past tense, including "stuck" and "upgraded".

==What The Paper means to others==
*[[User:InterruptorJones|Interruptor Jones]] — "The Paper is [[Wikipedia:deus ex machina|deus ex machina]], simple as that. Just a really boring version of deus ex machina."
*[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] — "The Paper is a character in itself, who is stuck to the top of the screen at all times, waiting for its time to shine. That's the only explanation."
*[[User:Da Chort|Da Chort]] — "I think The Paper is some sort of printer stuck to the ceiling. What if The Paper is Strong Bad's magic minion? That's why he has control over it."

===Where is the printer in the [[Computer Room]]?===
*[[User:Phlip|Phlip]] — "Obviously, the printer is just stuck on top of the camera with duct tape or something..."
*[http://forum.hrwiki.org/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=583 Ramrod] — "The printer is just the printer. There's nothing you can really describe it by. It's its own little thing."
*[http://forum.hrwiki.org/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=820 Speckeldorf] — "It probably hangs upside down somehow in the compy room."

Welcome to the [[HRWiki:User page|user page]] of '''Joey Day'''. Many people ask me if JoeyDay is some kind of codename or if it means something clever. Sometimes I wish I could say yes, but it's actually my boring old real name, short for Joseph Nathan Day. Because I'm really into web-design and internet-related technology, some of my friends call me "Joey Day dot com".

I'm also not from Australia, as some have mistakenly inferred from my [http://www.joeyday.com/images/joeydaycom.png kangaroo-crossing logo]. The kangaroo actually comes from my first name, as joey is also the proper term for [[Wikipedia:Joey (marsupial)|baby marsupial]].

[[Image:Wikistress3D 1 v3.jpg|thumb|right|150px|My current stress level: Just fine]]
== About me ==
I am the proprietor of the Homestar Runner Wiki. I started the Wiki on October 7, 2003 and still technically own it, though I prefer to think of it as community property. I am not [[The Brothers Chaps]], nor am I related to them in any way (yes, people have asked me this).

I don't mind answering questions about the Wiki, but I get a little swamped sometimes. It's best to direct support questions to the entire administrator team at [mailto:support@hrwiki.org support@hrwiki.org] or post them at [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|the FAQ talk page]].

=== My Homestar Runner experience ===
I was introduced to Homestar Runner shortly after [[Strong Bad Email]] 51, ''[[website]]'', was released (circa Nov. 18, 2002). Web-design has been one of my hobbies for a while and a friend of mine knew that toon would resonate with me. It's still one of my favorite emails. Other favorites include ''[[superhero name]]'', ''[[guitar]]'', ''[[techno]]'', ''[[japanese cartoon]]'', ''[[english paper]]'', ''[[caffeine]]'', ''[[different town]]'', ''[[flashback]]'', ''[[virus]]'', ''[[do over]]'', and ''[[lady...ing]]''.

I own the complete set of four [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVDs]], the [[Strong Bad Sings CD]], a [[Store#Polo_Shirts|Trogdor polo]], and a [[Store#T-Shirts|Stinkoman blue ringer tee]]. I'd really like a [[Store#Kick_The_Cheat|Kick the Cheat]], but those suckers are expensive. The Toons DVD is also on my wishlist.

== Wiki stuff==

=== Things I'm proud of ===
* Unbeknownst to me, I created the [[Fonts|thousandth article]] on the wiki.
* My wedding video [http://downloads.joeyday.com/bloopers.wmv blooper reel] is a music video for [[Circles]] from the [[Strong Bad Sings CD]].

=== Projects I'm working on ===
* '''TriviaTime''' — [[/TriviaTime|TriviaTime]] is an IRC bot capable of hosting a trivia game in the [[HRWiki:IRC channel|#hrwiki IRC channel]]. He doesn't know a whole lot of trivia, yet. You can help me come up with [[/TriviaTime|more questions]].
* '''GrapeNuts''' — [[User:GrapeNuts|GrapeNuts]] is a [[MetaWikiPedia:Using_the_python_wikipediabot|python wikipedia bot]] capable of performing many automated tasks on the Homestar Runner Wiki. If you need help completing a task you think could be automated (like find and replace), let me know and I'll be glad to lend his services.

== Advise for a new wiki! ==

Hey there! Me and a couple of my friends started a wiki for our club. I'm the new admin there and would like to ask you if you have any advise to give about starting to make a wiki. What to post on the main page, who should I appoint to dmin with me? Are there any "insiders tips" for running a wiki more smothly? (i.e.: reducing file size ect.) We run on MediaWiki, on Hebrew language, but all the coding is the same. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:21, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:E.L., sure, I'd love to help you with a new wiki. Can you contact me over instant messenger sometime? My contact information is available from my [http://forum.hrwiki.org/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2 forum profile]. Thanks. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:53, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Add'D! (dead..) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:04, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== GrapeNuts project ==

I have a new GrapeNuts project. The punctuation should be bold in the following text:
<pre>'''Debut''': → '''Debut:'''</pre>
Another question: Should we post new projects here, or on [[User_talk:GrapeNuts]], or where? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:50, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Actually, I can't think of ''any'' context in which the colon should be outside the triple single quotes (or are you just picking an example?) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:03, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::There was a gnome who came through and replaced "[[Toons|whatever toon]] (debut)" with "'''Debut''': [[Toons|whatever toon]]". Unfortunately, as shown there, he put the colon ''outside'' the bold. I fixed the first one I saw, but then I found another... and another. I did a search, and realized that there are a whole bunch. As for whether we should ''never'' have the colon unbolded, I think it looks okay on [[Glossary]], especially because some of the entries have punctuation as part of the word (see [[Glossary#F|FLOOR TOMMED!]]), but in general you're right; they should be bold. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:03, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Sorry this has taken me so long to respond to. I'm usually not online much during the weekend. I'll sic GrapeNuts on this right away. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:53, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Hm, GrapeNuts seems unable to process that request. The problem is I have no good way of telling him the subset of pages he should work on. If I try to tell him to work on the whole wiki he gives me the following error: "AttributeError: MediaWikiXmlHandler instance has no attribute 'id'." Whatever that means. Apparently in version 1.5 I'll be able to pull an XML file of the database that should improve GrapeNuts' ability to handle tasks like this, but for now we may have to do this by hand. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:05, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

When GrapeNuts is up and running again, so to speak, could you have it fix my sig? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}}

== Signature ==

Hi JoeyDay. Is it alright if I could put your signature on my userpage to link to yours? {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 23:58, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, that's fine with me, Homestramy20, but could you remove the part about me being God? I feel the same way about you calling me "God" as you do about Bobo the King using the "D" word. Thanks. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:53, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Okay, complete apology. I didn't know you felt that way. Anyways, thanks. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 22:04, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Shipping Time ==

Hey, Joey. I just ordered some stuff from the Homestar site. I just wanted to know how fast your stuff took to come. I am ''very'' exited about getting Strongbad_email.exe, but I don't want it to take 6-8 weeks. I mean, is Canada ''really'' that far away? But i'm rambling. Thanks, {{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig}}

:I don't remember, but I know it wasn't 6–8 weeks. I'd guess about a week. Congratulations on your purchase. I've been drooling over the DVDs for a while now. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 15:53, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Alright, thanks. Are you from Canada? {{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig}}

:::Nope, I'm from Salt Lake City, Utah. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:53, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::Oh, I ''am'' from Canada. So I guess it'll take longer than yours did. Oh well. {{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig}}

== I found a troll! ==
66.82.9.39 is the IP address. It was a troll in the fanstuff wiki. Battle of Homestar High. [[User:Seek Bar|DonZabu]]

== Bannination ==
I really need to be unbanned from #hrwiki. I don't even know what I did to get banned...did I annoy Tom? --[[User:Homsar999|Homsar]]

== GrapeNuts source code ==

Hi Joey, would you be interested in releasing the GrapeNuts source code? I've been coding in Java far too much lately, I might be interested in a Python-type-diversion. :) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:20, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Homestar Coder: As is already noted on GrapeNuts' user page, GrapeNuts is an instance of the [[MetaWikiPedia:Using_the_python_wikipediabot|Python Wikipediabot Framework]]. I haven't made any modifications, and there are instructions on that page for downloading and using your own instance of the framework. Have fun! — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:23, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Okay, I thought maybe you had attempted modifications. It sounds like the code itself might need some tweaking to work on HRWiki, so I could look into it... {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 20:29, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Me too! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:14, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC) (I have an instance of HRWiki running in my computer, and I am interested in it. If I can help solve the problems you guys are encountering, that would be awesome! Is there a page that specifically delineates the problems you are having?)

::::The biggest problem we're having is the Pywikipedia bot can't read any of our pages that start with lower case letters. We're kindof a special wiki in that we have the [[MetaWikiPedia:LocalSettings.php#Force_Capital_Links|$wgCapitalLinks]] variable set to 'false' in our [[MetaWikiPedia:LocalSettings.php|LocalSettings.php]] file. Other than that, it also seems to be having trouble getting lists of pages by category or by namespace. MediaWiki 1.5 has xml dumps, which should give Pywikipediabot much more useful information about our wiki and help it find pages better. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:29, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Unbanned please ==

Can I please be unbanned from the Chat Channle? {{User:H*R 700/sig}}

:What's your IRC username, please? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:25, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

H. {{User:H*R 700/sig}}

:Just the letter "H"? What did you do to get banned from the channel? Are you sure you're banned, or are you just getting errors when you try to connect? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 23:08, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

It says "Blocked by Zone Labs Security". I don't know what I did. I just left, and I was blocked! {{User:H*R 700/sig}}

:We didn't block you; Zone Labs is simply your firewall, my friend. You should be able to find a little Z down in the bottom right corner of your screen, right-click it, and choose "Disable". You probably shouldn't leave it disabled all the time. Maybe there's a setting in there where you can add us to some kind of allow list. Have your mom or dad look at it for you; they might be able to figure it out. Or contact me over instant messenger (my contact info is on my [http://forum.hrwiki.org/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2 forum profile]). I work in tech support and might be able to help you fix it. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 23:18, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Aw, man. I didn't realize my fire wall was ZL. I see it. Thank, for the info. {{User:H*R 700/sig}}

:No problem. Let me know if you still can't get in after disabling Zone Alarm. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 00:01, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)
==Wiki Day!==

Happy Happy wiki day!! Wow, your wiki is two years old. Awsome! {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:32, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== IRC Topic ==

Joey, how do you make ChanServ change the topic of a chat without having to OP to do it? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:27, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:You'd want to use the <tt>/msg ChanServ SET <channel> TOPICLOCK OFF</tt> command, which would then allow non-ops to change to topic. For more help with ChanServ, try <tt>/msg ChanServ HELP</tt>.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

::Actually, I talked with Lapper in the chat room today. His problem had more to do with his channel being <code>+t</code>. He wanted to keep TOPICLOCK on, but didn't want to op himself every time he needed to change the topic. <code>+t</code> keeps non-ops from changing the topic, TOPICLOCK keeps those without a certain access level from changing the topic, regardless of whether they are opped or not. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

== Wikipedia article about HRWiki ==

Me and a few other users are setting up a [[Wikipedia:User:Kookykman/HRWiki article in progress|Wikipedia article]] about the HRWiki. ([[Wikipedia:User talk:Kookykman/HRWiki article in progress|Here's]] the talk page for it.) Just thought I'd let you know. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

User talk:Jay/Archive3

HomestarCoder — Sun, 23 Oct 2005 22:59:00 GMT

HomestarCoder: User talk:Jay moved to User talk:Jay ON WHEELS!

''See [[User talk:Jay/Archive]] for old discussions.''

== Sysop duties 8/27/05 ==

Thanks, Jay. Thank you, thank you. How do you like that <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> template It's dot com and I collaborated on? Kind of makes it easier to delete because you don't have to enter in a reason manually, huh? Speaking of blocking that David Brown spammer, here is another IP that has been used the past few days: [[Special:Contributions/82.67.192.173|82.67.192.173]]. Thanks again for cleaning up. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:36, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)
: True dat. I'd seen that guy in the past but for some reason thought he'd already been blocked. I'm gonna run a check on his IP address before deciding to block the range or just the single address. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:39, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)
: Oh, and my computer's not running this site at full speed; last night, it even 509'd me (heck, I'm surprised I can use it now!) I think it may go down again by the end of the month... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:40, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:: Don't worry, it's not your computer running slow; it's the server. Everybody was 509'd for a short while last night. I was sleeping. Glad it came back up. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:43, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::: I know why it's running slow; I guess I just wasn't clear (this computer's only a couple of months old, so it probably wouldn't be running slowly under normal conditions.) I almost wish it ''had'' stayed 509'd for real, as then Willy on Wheels (the moron I suspect is responsible for the page move vandalism) wouldn't have been able to do anything. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:47, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==[[Halloween Costumes]] - Three Extra?==

Hey Jay, I know this is kinda looking a ways back, but I just realized now that you added three [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Halloween_Costumes&diff=97721&oldid=97719 alternate costumes] to the Costumes page, from a 'secret page'. I was just wondering where you found that, hopefully to add a link or something. Thanks! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:33, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)
: [http://www.homestarrunner.com/halloween01.swf This page], which is already linked on [[Secret Pages]]. Also see [[Talk:Marzipan]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:41, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Thanks Jay.I did check secret pages, but I just did Ctr+F, and searched for halloween. The link is much appreciated. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:58, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::: I think I'd done that once before. Yeah, "Halloween" definitely should have been somewhere in the description. Ah well. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:03, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== RACIST!!!!!!!! ==

You blocked somebody just because they have a Japanese screenname unblock 'em or I'll tell Jimbo Wales on the big wikpedia

:That user happened to be a troll. Jay was correct to block them. And we don't have anything to do with Jimbo or Wikipedia. We just use the same software.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:19, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

What was his name? I wanna translate it, see if it means anything mean. --{{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig}}

:Look on the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=Jay&page= block log] at 17:00, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC) (the time shows up as your local time). You can't miss it. Oh, and if you know Greek, you can do the one two lines up, as well. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:47, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)

The Japanesse one roughly translates into "King woman of shining of rainbow", I am working on the Greek one now. --{{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig}}

The Greek one roughly translates into "utmost cows" --{{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig}}

== RACIST AGIAN!!!! ==

You blocked -Erson just because he's gay (which he openly admits on the [[brianrietta]] discussion right. please clarify if you didn't. but until then you are guilty until proven innocent

:User:-Erson was a page move troll. If you bother Jay again, I'm going to have to block you for personally attacking him.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:21, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:To clarify, there was a page-move troll who impersonated actual members. You're therefore thinking of someone else. (Also, racism wouldn't apply here, BTW.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:23, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:: Yes, both blocked members were trolls. I found the user name for the first one unreadable (my computer does not display Japanese fonts; for all I know he could have been swearing in Japanese and I'd have had no clue) but the ''real'' reason for blocking him was his trolling. The latter was a troll commonly known as Willy on Wheels who impersonated [[User:-erson|-erson]] (note the ''lowercase'' e) and about fifty other people (notice that I also blocked one "J ay", but clearly I'm not going to block ''myself''). -erson is ''not'' blocked and has done nothing worth blocking him over as far as I've seen (I'm not homophobic and don't care about his sexual orientation in the least.) '''''YOU''''', on the other hand... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:32, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Undelete ==

Jay, could you please undelete [[User talk:Be's careful]]? A WoW sockpuppet with that username created that, and I would like to keep it as evidence of who he is. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:10, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
: I'm personally against it, as the name has been blocked indefinitely and WoW couldn't use it again if he wanted to. But I did it anyway. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:21, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:: IMO, registered trolls' user pages should not be deleted, unless they contain obscene content. I also didn't want JoeyDay to delete all of the impersonation accounts (but it's too late now), just in case I decide to make a WoW template. I was also going to tell you that his accounts here are logged on Wikipedia, but I can see you've already noticed that. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:32, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::: Not ''all'' of his accounts - the impersonations are absent. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:35, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::The impersonation accounts no longer exist here, so I, thinking like a computer, decided it didn't matter. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:37, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::: Anyway, since most of WoW's edits are page moves, they don't show up on our Contributions pages, so even if the user names were never deleted, there wouldn't be any evidence that he ''did'' do any wrongdoing except in our own memories. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:37, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Insult to Insult ==

Jay, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Template:STUFF/The_Luau&action=history your comment] about me sounds '''very insulting.''' [[Meet Marshie|"Dont'cha like me?"]] {{User:Trogga/sig}}
: It wasn't meant to be ''very'' insulting, but you have been known to delete facts or information from pages with no consensus, and after you've already made the very changes and had them reverted. I have a tendency to be blunt, I admit, but I calls 'em as I sees 'em. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:16, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Blue Jay==
Hey, Jay! Just so you know, your racist friend has just made fun of you in a sad, sad, way. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 03:04, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:To elaborate, he made [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Homsar_Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=139287 this edit] and moved '''Homsar's Main Page''' to '''Homsar Main Page on theon wheeles'''. It's all in the past now. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:15, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:: Homsar... main... page... on... ''WHAT?!'' Tell me it's not... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:08, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== 68.200.46.214 ==

Jay, 68.200.46.214 is a garden variety troll, and has made a few edits, including a vulgar one to strongbadman's [[User:strongbadman| user page]] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:strongbadman&diff=prev&oldid=157160]. Should he be added to [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]]? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:21, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
: No need, I'll look into it and take care of him. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:21, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Okay, just wondering. The edits were minor anyway. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:24, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Trolll from HRFWiki! ==

The troll Marshie Man trolled me, as an I.P address. How do I know it was him? His user page said marshie man lives. And he, was from the HRFWiki. Thanks for taking care of that. [[User:H*R 700|H*R 700]]
: I actually haven't been on the site lately that much, and there are other sysops around. I also have no jurisdiction over the Fanstuff Wiki. But if someone else hasn't, I'll check it out. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:45, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:: Oh dear! Someone has deleted the entire Fanstuff Wiki database! Oh wait, that's just Tom, upgrading. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:47, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::: Uh... okay? This guy was a real troll, and left unblocked, so I did the 24 hour thing since it was pointed out to me. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:48, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::Oh, I thought he was reporting trolling ''on'' the fanstuff. I went there to see, and there was no data there. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
:::::No, no. I think he was just informing me that he was a user on the fanstuff Wiki, probably in hopes that I'd block him there too or something. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:54, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::::No, nothing like that. I jsut wanted to point out that he was on the Fanstuff wiki, before. I know you don't have a user, there. {{User:H*R 700/sig}}

== Why ==

Why'd you delete the Teen Girl Squad characters page? I was about to make an edit! And what happened to my account!? --[[User:daunrealist|daunrealist]]
:Never mind, my account disappeared for a second. But why the deletion?
: I stupidly hit the "delete" button instead of "Edit," and didn't pay attention (I was reverting.) Oops! Fixed it now. Sorry about that. :[ --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
::Oh, ok.
:::With great power, comes great responsibility... Sorry, I just had to rub that mistake in. :) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:53, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
:::: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you're Mr. Perfect. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:30, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

:::::But it's true you know, just like being a [http://www.sudo.ws/cgi-bin/cvsweb/sudo/check.c.diff?r1=1.217&r2=1.218&f=h super user].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 01:41, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

== 207.27.152.6 ==
Actually, I thought he was on to something there—"I too miss video games?" Surely something better than that can be found. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:16, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
: Perhaps, but simply making it "The Olda Boys" isn't really any better. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:23, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

== Howdy there, Jay... ==

I was just wondering why you or any of the other mods aren't making a big stink about the Sebastian Coe fun fact currently on the STUFF page. It's a big coincidence, even moreso than the infamous Change Of Pace fun fact that you and I fought over, and yet no one is saying anything. Just wanted to know what the deal was. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 22:44, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
:It isn't really the job of us "mods" to make a stink about content. Sysops perform maintenance and help keep people in line, but in questions of content our vote counts the same as everybody else. (That's the theory anyway. We all know that it's not completely true. But it's something to strive for.) I can't (and wouldn't) speak for Jay, but I'm not completely convinced this item is wrong. ''(I'm not convinced it's right, either, which is why I haven't voted. In fact, looking at the page, I see that a lot of people with good heads on their shoulders are still on the fence.)'' And what does the item really say? "'Seb' may be a reference..." Well, okay, it may be a reference. Everyone who is voting to accept it (and I stress again that I don't necessarily agree with them) knows that it's not ''certainly'' a reference, just that it ''may'' be. Ordinarily, we nip "may be" facts in the bud, and for good reason. Most of them are total rubbish. But we have to be flexible enough to allow such a fact to make it through the process if enough people agree with it (and, at last count, it's lopsided by a 4-to-1 margin). And doing so doesn't mean that the process is broken, or that everyone has suddenly gone mad. I'm not trying to argue the merits for or against this particular fact. All I'm saying is that how this particular vote goes is not a good indicator of whether nor not the world is ending. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
::I understand, Dot com, but the thing is such a stink was made about the other fact, which I believe had more of a factual basis than this one, and it was not put up for whatever reason. It would just seem awfully hypocritical to let one that is an actual coincidence stand and b**ch and moan about another one that wasn't as clear cut. (I know you didn't do it, Dot com, but Jay did, and that's why I put this here.) --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 01:23, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
:::I think you're going to find that even reasonable people will disagree from time to time on what is clear cut. For example, some people with whom I have chatted find this current item quite plausible, or at least are undecided like I am. And even a certain person with a reputation for declining good facts (I'll let you figure out who) even voted ''for'' it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
::::This is one that I have literally no opinion on. Notice that I never even voted for it. Dot Com hit the nail on the head: what's plausible or clear-cut to one person may not be to someone else. The Family Guy thing is one I simply cannot wrap my brain around; the timing made it near-impossible as far as I can see, and, if TBC really did get the idea from Family Guy, it was less a reference and more a stolen joke. This one is plausible, in theory; I don't like the fact but I don't dislike it enough to say that it's definitely not true. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:11, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
::::Oh, and despite the comment to the contrary on STUFF, the Change of Pace fact ''was'' added to the [[do over]] page and has not been removed, despite my protests. Thus, I can either assume that you were a) mistaken or b) trying to garner sympathy for your opinion. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:16, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
::::I never saw the fact put back on the page, but I still don't think it was fair what you did. And I will contest this fact if it is accepted, because there is absolutely no factual basis behind it. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 13:46, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::Dude, it's a guy nicknamed "seb" who runs a mile. It could be a coincidence, but the odds of something like this are so rare that you can't just dismiss it as obviously and definitely untrue. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 14:04, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
::::::Also, ISlayedTheKerrek, you have to have grounds for contesting a verdict. That is, you have to show that something was wrong with the way the vote itself was handled. Looking at this vote, I see that it is being conducted properly and fairly. The item is worded carefully so as to be factual while taking into account the speculation (yes, speculation; on rare occasions we allow ourselves to do that). Each voter, as far as I should be able to tell, is aware of this wording and the speculation, and those who choose to accept are all comfortable with it. Because of this vote's sensitive nature, it will not be closed even one minute before the standard 14-day period is complete. Everything is on the up-and-up, and if the vote holds it ''will'' be placed on the page.

:::::::P.S. I dislike the fact that not only are you attacking Jay, but you're using his own talk page to do it under false pretenses. You suggested it would be hypocritical for him ''not'' to make a fuss about this fact, but later you said that you "don't think it was fair what [he] did" in the Change of Pace fact. You can't have it both ways. It seems the only reason you posted here was to try and goad him into taking a stand because you hoped it would support your position. Then, when he ''didn't'' back you up, you threatened to do the very thing you claimed was unfair for him to do. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::::::::Whoa, whoa, whoa! You're taking what I said out of context, Dot Com. First of all, what false pretenses am I doing this under? I'm noting that there is another controversial fun fact out there, and bringing up what happened the last time that that had happened. But whatever. Secondly, I wasn't trying to goad him into doing anything. I just wanted to know why no one said anything. That's all. Maybe you didn't like my choice of words, and maybe I shouldn't have said anything to begin with. Did I expect Jay to back me up? Quite frankly, no. If he wanted to, that was his business. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHY NO ONE SAID ANYTHING. THAT'S ALL. And why did you say I attacked Jay? I never said anything that can be considered an attack! That hurts me- I've done nothing wrong on this wiki. I've tried hard to be a good Wiki member, but apparently no one sees that. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything, but I just was curious. If being curious is bad, then I'm sorry. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 19:03, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::Perhaps "attack" was too strong a word. If that was not your intent, then I apologize. I certainly was not trying to be hurtful. But I did feel that there were apparent contradictions in what you were saying, and that's what I was trying to point out. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:10, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::I accept your apology, and I understand what you were trying to do (although you sure have a heck of a way of showing it ;)). Let me explain what I meant- although I didn't like what went down there, I thought that if it was gonna be done on one and not another that was along those same lines, it would be sort of hypocritical. (And besides, I know better than to attack someone on their talk page- it doesn't make sense to do it, as we've seen from someone else who doesn't know what the meaning of the word "racism" is). --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 01:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

==Technical help==
===How to add images===
Here's a quick rundown of how to add images:
#If you haven't already, read the [[HRWiki:Image_use_policy|image use policy]]. Note that the PNG format is preferred.
#Over in the toolbox on the left, click [[Special:Upload|Upload file]].
#(A) Browse to the file on your computer. (B) Write a brief description in the summary area. (C) Click the copyright checkbox. (D) Click "Upload file".
#Place code on your page in the following format, usually at the very top of the page (although you can place it in other places): <code><nowiki>[[Image:IMAGE NAME|thumb and/or POSITION|SIZE|CAPTION]]</nowiki></code>

To make an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Gallery|image gallery]], use the wollowing format:
:<code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki>
:Image:image1.png|caption 1
:Image:image2.png|caption 2
:Image:image3.png|caption 3
:<nowiki></gallery></nowiki></code>
Start each picture on a new line. You can use links and full wiki markup in the captions.

Click on these links here for a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial|tutorial]] and more [[MetaWikipedia:Help:Images and other uploaded files|technical info]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax|syntax info]]. HRWiki policy allows [[HRWiki:User_page#What can_I_have_on_my_user_page?|one uploaded image]] per user with no questions asked. For an example, I placed the following code at the top of your page: <code><nowiki>[[Image:cheatgold.PNG|thumb|300px|I've got a gold tooth. Wanna see it? Tough!]]</nowiki></code> That's all. Have fun! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:33, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
:Thanx a bunch for telling me how to add images and adding an image and all that crap. Love your page. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]
::Anytime, my friend. It's my pleasure. And thanks for your comments about my page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:56, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

===How to revert a page===
*YO! I do like what you did to my gallery, but I'd like to revert it for the time being. I do want to change it to your suggestion in the future, though. But, um, how do you revert? [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 02:56, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:It was more complicated than normal to revert your page since you had already made changes to it. Here are some basic instructions on how to revert:

<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5">
:'''To completely revert a page to a previous version:'''
#View the history of the page in question.
#Click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.
#Type a comment in the summary, usually something like "reverted edit of so-and-so; changed to last version by what's her face".
#Click "Save page".</div>

<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5">
:'''To revert a page and keep some changes at the same time:'''
#View the history of the page in question.
#Determine what changes have been made since the version to which you want to revert.
#Copy the affected section to the clipboard. If there is more than one section, it may be necessary to do a normal revert (see above) and then make the changes again one at a time in later edits.
#In the page history, click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.
#From the clipboard, paste in the new changes over the appropriate old section.
#Type a comment in the summary.
#Click "Show preview" to ensure that you pasted the new changes in correctly.
#Click "Save page".</div>

:In the section way above, I've included the syntax for the image gallery for whenever you want to go back to that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

=== Where to link characters ===
I had a question. On the page for [[monster truck]], should "The Sad kids" and "The King of town" in the transcript be changed to include links to thier respective pages? FYI, the sentence that would be changed is "{The Sad Kids and the King of Town appear on screen respectively crossed out}". —[[User:Smileyface11945|Smileyface11945]]

:No. Characters are never linked in the transcript. Instead, they are listed at the top of the page in the order in which they appear. Also, whenever you post something on a talk page, type four tildes after it, like this: "<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>". That will automatically sign your name and put a timestamp after it. It looks like this: — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:06, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

=== How to make the vertical line to appear ===
How do you make this vertical line appear? | It's used in a lot of links in the wiki, [[Strong Bad Email|like this]], but if I want to use the line, I always have to copy it from somewhere else. Can you press certain keys to make it appear? [[User:The Chort|The Chort]] 14:11, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:It should be on your keyboard. Mine's above the enter key. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 14:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Hmm...let's see: | Hey, it worked! Thank you! You're my new best friend at this wiki! [[User:The Chort|The Chort]] 14:33, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:No probalo... {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 14:34, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::I'm glad I could bring you two closer together. I have nothing useful to say here, but since this is my talk page, I feel compelled to comment. The character The Chort is speaking of is called the [[Wikipedia:vertical bar|vertical bar]], or pipe. It is used in wiki markup to create [[Wikipedia:Piped_link|piped links]], [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table tables], and other things. As Amanda (H*C) said, the key is usually located at the extreme right of the keyboard, just above the Enter (return) key, grouped with the [[Wikipedia:backslash|backslash]]. On some keyboard configurations, the key is on the top row, just to the left of the Backspace (in this case the Enter key is about double its customary size and the Backspace is about half its normal size). To type a vertical bar, you must hold the Shift key. Well, I hope you enjoyed my short essay. I now return you to the wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:46, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Here's the note you requested. [[HRWiki:IRC_channel]]?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I for the instructions, I have this:

:''{Tom's code moved here: [[User:It's dot com/instructions code]]}''

You need to fix up Section II, since I have no idea what's going on there. (And quite possibily sections I and III as well.) You also might want to check out some of the bulleted points in the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion#Things_to_consider|things to consider]] section for when you write up the instructions.

=== STUFF help ===

I would be glad to help you out Dot Com. I'm bored and I'm really digging what you are doing here. Keep up the good work. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]

:On an aside note, when the time comes will you need help turning all of the current STUFF'd facts to your format? If so lemmie know and I can help you out. When do you think the big change might occur? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]

::I'm shooting for the middle of this week. Maybe there won't be a new toon this week. That would help. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Looks like you're about ready to make this happen. I would also be willing to help you and Tony with the big change, if you so desire. You know, taking what's currently in STUFF and putting it on the new page. There's a lot of them there. Just let me know. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 03:12, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I welcome any help I can get. I don't know the best way to go about it. I figure we'll have to temporarily close the STUFF page so that people aren't trying to edit it while we're converting it. Also, I want to open the format up for others to test. I'm trying to get that done tonight. I think the format is really easy to use, but I ''made'' it, so there could be problems I'm not seeing. I'll leave you a note on your talk page when I have more to report, which shouldn't be too long from now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: In case you didn't notice, I've discovered what is causing the problem in STUFF. Not external links in and of themselves (notice that "The Legend of Credits" has an external link.) It's the fact that there was an equal sign in one of the links. Try plugging a random equal sign into any fact (link or no) and see what happens. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:59, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If you're looking for a response as to the new STUFF's simplicity, I would say it is pretty easy if you follow the directions. I do have a suggestion, though. For the how to revise page you have the entire template out for cutting and pasting, but the initial template setup has the optional things on parts of it. It might make it easier to take the optional notes and the false user votes off of that template so it's easy to cut and paste the entire thing. That's what I think anyway. Other than that, I think the new system is great. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 19:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I went ahead an implemented everything, including Protecting all the templates and DELETING!! all the test pages I could think of. If there are others I missed, feel free to TBD them. I ended up erasing a lot of old Verdicted facts on the old STUFF page - dig through the history if you really feel you need them. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:42, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===New STUFF Verdicts===

The new STUFF looks prooty good! One little quibble: it appears that the original posting dates were not included when the open STUFFs were ported. My real question is: how should a VERDICT'D STUFF look? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:12, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

: The date thing was my fault. Anyway, I guess that a VERDICT should be another template or two, and should be put in place of the arguments and votes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:02, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: I fixed the dates. For verdicts, we can either move the items to the talk pages (like we do now), or they could be moved to a different subpage, like '''HRWIKI:STUFF Archive/pagename''', for example. If we use an archive subpage, we should put a reference link on the talk page with the fact in question and the verdict.<div style="text-indent:2em">As items close, they should definitely be ''moved'' somewhere. Otherwise, if down the line someone STUFFs something new from a page, all the old, closed facts will still be there. Once a template subpage is empty (all the facts have closed), the template subpage should be deleted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:13, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)</div>

::: Ha ha, it feels like that sometimes. The way I look at it, since I stirred up the waters by coming up with the format, I have an obligation to keep it as well-oiled as possible, and so I do a lot of maintenance on items, even if I don't actually participate in every vote. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:52, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)

=== STUFF query ===
Hey It's dot com, I just noticed that one of bottom 10's [[Template:STUFF/bottom_10|STUFF entries]] is not ever going to succeed due to the author's mistake. (The Knott's Berry Farm one) It is not true, and will not get a single acceptance vote. I just thought it might be best to close that one now and save everybody time. On that note, I have also noticed that you are the only one who ever closes STUFFed facts, and was wondering if you wanted a hand with that. I am willing to help you out if you want me to. Forever Young, {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 20:17, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:To tell the truth, I don't mind doing it at all; it's fun. But others are of course welcome to do it (this is a wiki, after all); and certainly you should at least know ''how''. (It's not difficult, but it ''is'' involved. The instructions are [[HRWiki:STUFF/Verdict|here]].) I dunno, like I've said to BazookaJoe, since I made up the format, I feel responsible for making sure all the gears mesh and turn like they're supposed to. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:49, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:P.S. I took care of that item like you suggested.

=== Anonymous STUFFing ===

Okay, it's one thing to say that Anonnies can't VOTE in STUFF facts. It's another entirely to say that they can't CREATE facts; I'd taken it for granted that they could. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:18, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:The rules state: "You may only edit arguments while logged in." I would think that extends to creating items. If a user cares enough about an item, he can log in to create it. If an item truly is important, a logged-in user has probably already made it anyway. As for this particular item, it was such a stretch that it would have been deleted outright from the page. If you truly feel, however, that it needs to go through the process, resubmit it anew (but I've got a thousand dollars I would bet as to how the verdict will end up). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:26, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: Well, I don't disagree that it was a waste of space. I was more thinking about future reference—if someone actually adds a fact worth STUFFing. I suppose the only safeguards we had specified for unlogged users were votes and editing pre-existing arguments (it doesn't specifically say that unlogged users can't add facts or arguments) so I wanted clarification. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:44, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::I'll admit, I threw it out on a technicality. A technicality I would probably overlook if it had ''any'' merit at all. The last couple of days it seems like people are abusing the STUFF page, STUFFing the most trivial bits of nothing. I was trying to make an example of something that clearly deserved to get the ax, to try and nip this in the bud. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:52, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::: Fair enough. For example, I completely deleted a false "Fact" yesterday (regarding The Cheat's bendable arms never appearing before outside of Cheat Commandos, in spite of the fact that they'd been seen in [[caper]] and [[virus]]), so imagine my surprise today to find that it had been re-added (albeit prematurely Verdicted). Was it the same guy? How could multiple people make that mistake? And, as a result of your previous comments, I modified the "Add a toon/Add an item/Revise an item" instructions; now, all three say that you must be logged in. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:56, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::::: "Early," not "premature." When several users find multiple instances that directly contradict an item, it is patently false and therefore not worth our time. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:59, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::::: Er, maybe my wording was a bit confusing, but I already knew that. I tend to refer to facts as "prematurely closed" when they're closed early no matter what the reason—even if I was the one who did it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:03, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Um hi, [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]], I would like to point you to the [[Store]] page where if you check out the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Store&action=history history] you will see that the user [[User:Hydro|Hydro]] has been trolling the page constantly. I have not yet seen his name on the [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|Troll Page]]. Also, I like [[virus|linking]], and [[long_pants|shiny]] things! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 14:08, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Hi Stux. If someone ever needs to be added to the troll list, then by all means do it. Don't even worry if you mess up the format... if you should encounter problems somebody will be along to fix it. I'll take a look at Hydro now. Thanks for bringing it to someone's (in this case, my) attention. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:12, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

My apologies for bugging you again. I think i'm trying to upgrade my status from being Mr. Fix minor things to being Mr. Pain-in-the-behind Wannabe. What am I talking about? Basically, fact checking. To what extent should we do fact checking. I was checking [[Matt Chapman]]'s page [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Matt_Chapman&action=history history] and noticed that the last [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Matt_Chapman&diff=0&oldid=154227 change] added the misc fact: ''"*Can be seen as an audience member in one episode of '''[[IMDb:tt0163507|Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'''"'' This is very general and my fingers are itching to revert it and leave a 'please provide evidence' note. But I haven't. Perhaps out of pity. Suggestions? (Do you have a fact-checking or fact adding set of guidelines even for admins?) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:31, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Well, I hate to interrupt somebody else's conversation, but I checked this myself. If you look at Matt's IMBD page, it lists him as an uncredited audience member near the bottom. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I don't know about [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] cuz it's his message bored but I personally appreciate the interruption. Not to mention quick response! Wow, amazing, I didn't think they'd credit such minor things, but they did! Thanks [[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]!

==it's "Dot com"==
Hello. Thanks for letting me know about the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:Strong_Bad_Email#Redirects discussion] regarding deleted redirects of the first two Strong Bad Emails. I was previously unaware of the accusations by Jay against me. By the way, may I call you IDC? It's an acronym of your username if you wouldn't mind me referring you by it. Thanks again. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 18:45, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I don't think he was accusing you, just perhaps mistaken. I alerted you to the discussion because I figured it pertained to you and therefore you could tell us why you thought it was better not to have the redirects. But if it wasn't you, then, obviously, you can't. Ah, well. I think the redirects are going to go forward (if E.L. Cool or others are still up to it). As for a short form of my user name, when people ask what it is, I say: it's [[User:It's dot com|Dot com]]. 19:26, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== The single deuce...not really ==

About Autobiography and the whole single deuce thing, you were right. I froze the frame and the way SB's holding his hand corresponds to his chin. Good call! —[[User:Smileyface11945|Smileyface11945]]

==Baseball fan!==

Hey Dot com! Are you a baseball fan?--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

:I should probably add this to my user page sooner or later, but I'm a ''huge'' fan of baseball, and Major League Baseball in particular, and more specifically the Texas Rangers Baseball Club. I've got my trusty Rangers ballcap on right now, as always. I've been to several games this year and plan on more. I don't live in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, otherwise I would have season tickets at Ameriquest Field. I make up for it by keeping track of the team on TV, radio, and at mlb.com using Gameday, Gameday Audio, and MLB.TV. I mainly follow the AL (my second-favorite club is the Yankees), but I do like some NL teams: the Nationals, the Astros, the Mets, and (sorry) the Cubs, to name a few. Tonight, as it turns out, the Rangers topped the Orioles, 4–2, in Baltimore. Yay! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:32, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Cool! You're only the second user I've heard of that is a baseball fan (other than me, there are two I've heard of). If you're not a ''huge'' cub fan then you won't bother me--and if you're not drunk, I'll be fine.--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

:Not a huge Cub fan, but I do pull for them as the perennial underdogs, especially now that the Red Sox have won it all. Even being a Yankee fan, when Boston was able to overcome a 3–0 deficit, when in Game 4 all Rivera had to do was put out the side in the ninth... well, at that point I was pleased to see the BoSox finally rid themselves of that blasted curse! (I can't remember, who was it they beat in the World Series? ;) ) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:24, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Yeah. I know, the Cardinals lost. I went to game four of the World Series, I was sad *sniffle*. I remember there were lots of Red Sox fans around us. One guy was talking to his wife on the phone the whole time. When the Sox won, my dad asked this red sox fan next to us, "What will you do now? This is your whole Idenity." And the red sox fan said back, " What year is it 86 years from now?"
But the cubs haven't won the series since 1908!--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

== Fanstuff ==

Do you have an account on the HRFWiki to? -- [[User:Strong Lad|Strong]] [[User talk:Strong Lad|Lad]]

:Yes, I do, but I don't much use it. I reserved the same username as here on the knowledge base so that I'd have it if I ever wanted to comment on anything there, and also so no one could impersonate me (not like anybody ''would'', but you never know). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

== DVD ==

Hey, how's your stuff for the DVD coming? Are you still working on [[Puppets on the Road]]? Oh, and are you doing [[Sample of Style Too]]? Because if not, I think I am going to take a stab at rewriting its transcript today. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 13:35, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:I see that the Sample of Style Too main part and outtakes are both just about done. I didn't read the transcript closely... you say you're going to ''rewrite'' it? I was working on Puppets on the Road, but I was wiped out last night and didn't finish it. I'd still like to complete POTR, but if somebody beats me to it, I won't be upset. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:38, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::I wrote Sample of Style Too's transcript using snippets of [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005#Characer Animation Video|NYU Talk]]'s transcript. There were many differences between the two videos (see [[Talk:Sample of Style Too]]). I would love it if you could get Puppets on the Road up. It's funny and popular with fans and I'm sure they would love to read it. I don't mean to rush you, though. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:30, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:::Nah, I just kinda got slammed with going out of town and then I actually had to go in to my job and do real work. Sometimes, I can goof off here, but not today. And tonight, I was in a softball game. And we won the game. And so we went and got real fruit smoothies. (Really.) I figured at some point someone would just go ahead and take POTR from me if I didn't get a chance to finish it. I'm not even at my home computer (where my DVD is and where I've done all the DVD stuff), or I'd do it now. So to sum up, if somebody else does it instead because I dragged my feet, that's cool; but otherwise, I can do it by later tomorrow. If ''you'' should do it, just drop me a note here so I won't worry. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:45, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Really? When an item is phrased using words like "could be" and "whether she actually did is debatable," it sure sounds like speculation to me. And you're not considering the fact that Marzipan breaks up with Homestar 50% of the time on her [[Marzipan#Character_Video_Transcript|character video]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:59, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Gah. I hate this wiki. Well, maybe not wiki, more like you and BazookaJoe seemingly cutting every edit I make. In fact, I'm going to stop editing this thing and just watch the cartoons in peace. --[[User:195.92.67.69|195.92.67.69]] 17:02, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Pertmywert, to answer the question you asked earlier, I think you're a fine user. You've made several good contributions recently, including some necessary reverts. Also, in all seriousness, I appreciate your willingness to welcome new users. I think your ♥ is in the right place there. (Side note: there's a link in your welcome template that says "me" but actually points to JoeyDay. Perhaps change "me" to "JoeyDay".)<div style="text-indent:1.5em">Remember that not everybody stays at their computer every minute of every day, so sometimes patience is required when waiting for a response. And it's an unfortunate fact that many of the users go unnoticed who do a lot of little but important things. It's like an umpire in baseball, who nobody pays any attention to when everything is going fine, but people rant and shout when a call is blown.</div><div style="text-indent:1.5em">A couple of pointers: whenever you're describing your edits, try to avoid emotionally charged words like "useless", etc. It's sufficient just to say "reverted such-and-such to version by so-and-so". Even better, try to find the good parts of an edit see if you can reword them so they fit into the article. (See [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=lunch_special&curid=1117&diff=108570&oldid=108569&rcid=55453 this edit] for an example.)</div><div style="text-indent:1.5em">To sum up, keep up the good work learning, gaining experience, and making quality contributions.</div><div>Sincerely, [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:20, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)</div>

==The Process==
Hey, '''Dot com''', it's [[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]]. As you seem both knowledgeable and up front about how things get done, I thought I'd come to you. Recently, I've been doing the whole recent change patrolling bit, and have come up with the following questions:
*Do all edits done by anonymous users need to be reverted? I've encountered a few that are correct or beneficial.
*Conversely, if a registered user makes a questionable edit (say, for example, adding a goof or remark that is open to debate), what would I do? I've reverted a couple, and I need to make sure this is within the rules.

Thanks for any input you might have.

:Well, Smoking Monkey, anonymous users are more than welcome to contribute. I daresay ''everyone'' (with the exception of the handful of people who actually set up the wiki) started out as an anonymous user. They often have insight or experience that are invaluable to getting to the bottom of an article. The reason we keep such a close eye on people who aren't members is that it just happens that most of the edits that are redundant, obvious, or otherwise non-beneficial come from anonymous users. The vast majority of trolls are anonymous as well. So, to make a long story short, '''do not ''automatically'' revert anonymous edits.''' (Note: if we wanted, we could prevent anonymous editing with a simple setting; obviously, we have not chosen to do this.)

:If a logged in user makes a bad edit, it can be reverted just like an anonymous edit. '''Logged-in users get a little special treatment, however.''' First of all, it's polite to list a reason in the edit summary instead of simply rolling back the page. Second, if an edit is borderline, strongly consider starting a discussion on the relevant talk page instead of simply removing another user's work.

:I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:02, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Understood. I don't want to be overzealous in reverting things - the last thing I want to do is step on toes and hurt feelings. But my "common sense" might not be so "common" to everyone. Trying to be careful as I go. -TSM

:::I just happened upon this discussion and figured I drop a word or two. My general rule of thumb is this: revert bad edits, keep good ones. Rewrite bad wording (there's *A LOT* of it). Have fun, be polite, but be bold! It's pretty simple, really! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:06, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::Thanks for the input! -- {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 17:13, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::That's an excellent way to put it, Tom (I've always assumed your name is Tom... your user page has never said anything other than "Hello world!"). I'll probably steal your rule of thumb and not give you credit, just so you know. ;) To it I would add one thing: if you ever have legitimate doubt about whether an anonymous edit is good or bad, '''take the action that leads to ''more'' content.''' That is, if someone adds something but you're not sure, then just leave it. But if an anonny deletes something (especially something big) that you think has merit, put it back.

==[[:Template:sightingslist|New Template]]==

Thanks Dot Com, that color looks good. I'm just wondering about the centering. On the Email template (the one I modeled this one after), it's much larger, and fills the whole screen from side to side. This one doesn't, so on larger displays, such as mine, it's shifted to the left. Any idea how to center it? (And for the sizing, it's small on the Strong Bad Emails to save space. I don't think it'd be too bad to have medium font on this template, for easier reading and clicking). {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:53, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC) 
'''EDIT:''' I think the centering thing could be something to do with 'width="100%"' {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:55, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Er, I guess you haven't looked at the template again yet, because I already fixed the centering. All the other nav templates (SB email, answering machines, CD, DVD, etc.) use <nowiki></nowiki>, so I figured this one should, too. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:04, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Free Country USA==

'''It's dot com''', it's your friendly neighborhood '''Smoking Monkey''' again. I just wanted to comment on the [[Free Country, USA]] thing earlier today, because I've made you my unofficial HRWiki mentor and seek your advice from time to time on Wiki matters.

In any case, what caught my attention was an anonymous user dumped, say, 50% more info on the Free Country article. I've noticed over the weeks that 90% of anonymous edits tend to be speculation, stating the obvious, or just plain wrong. Let's say the other 9% are helpful typo, spelling and grammar corrections. It's that 1% that leads to doubt. This guy/gal radically expanded a decent article, but I couldn't tel whether the expansion was worthy or not. I know I was previously advised to err on the side of expanded content, but I've seen even registered users get slammed for adding little bits of info to articles. This guy/gal added a lot, and when I first saw it, I balked. It seemed like speculation, so I reverted.

Then '''Mr. Bojangles''' re-reverted. I looked at it a second time - this time I saw disconnected thoughts that added only confusion - so I reverted ''again''.

Then '''you''' reverted my change, and I looked at it a third time. This time, I saw neither speculation nor confused thinking - only prose that needed refining.

I admit I've been in a bad mood recently, and have been, er, draconian in my enforcement of what I perceive is appropriate for the Wiki. I admit I was wrong reverting this article across the board.

Hopefully I made it up by actually adding to and trying to improve on the additions of the anonymous (and British) user - I got a little too caught up in making sure others play by the rules...

Faithfully patrolling the Wiki, {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 00:26, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Your characterization of anonymous edits is probably dead-on accurate (except when pages are first being created, which isn't that often, relatively speaking). If someone has something important to add, they usually take the step of registering first. Most of my edits were relatively minor until I registered. In fact, it was when I was trying to add something more substantial that I was encouraged to join.

:I appreciate that you consider me something of a mentor, and I take seriously my responsibility to you and others I help. I carefully consider any advice I give, and it is always my hope that each user's experience here is improved by my input. This can't always be the case when someone disagrees with me, but in cases like that I try to be as diplomatic as possible. As far as anonymous users go, I try to incorporate any part of their contributions that I can—anything—so that they will feel important and be comfortable enough to finally become full contributing members.

:In ''this'' specific case, you may notice that I didn't do a straight revert, but rather cleaned it up a bit before adding it back.

:If there's anything else I can help you with, you know I will. Besides, we 28-year-olds have to stick together. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:42, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hey It's dot com! I was wondering what you did with the 2005 updates page? Was it a ploy to annoy the troll? {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 02:08, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Hey Rogue. That troll is not a person; rather, it is some kind of bot that searches for the different sections on the page and adds links under each one. My reasoning was that if I removed all the sections, it would have nothing to do, and would quit. In the meantime, I put up a notice so that any regular user who was looking at the page would be aware of what was going on. I don't know whether my actions actually did anything, or whether it was just coincidence that the attack stopped (almost) at that point. Only further research will tell. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:14, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Pronounced with an "RWiki" ==

This is a bit trivial, but an interesting fact. As you know, I'm all hung up on England, and even spent three weeks there. In response to your question 'wouldn't it be pronounced aitch-are-wiki?', the answer is 'no'. Not in England. Just the same way they pronounce the letter Z as 'zed', they also put an H sound in front of H, making it 'haitch' or something thereof. I'm not sure if this is of significance, but it's an interesting fun-fact nonetheless. I think so, anyway. But since the Wiki (and H*R itself) are American-based, your 'an HRWiki namespace' would technically be correct. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Blockquote ==

How do you make that "blockquote" (i'm not sure what it is called but thats what it said in editing) where it shows what Strong Bad wrote on his computer on the transcripts?

:Sorry for the delay in responding. I might suggest that you would get a faster reply by posting questions to the [[HRWiki_talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]]. Anyway, it's possible to recreate the blockquote style outside the wiki, but you need to know some CSS and where to find it. First of all, the HTML (<nowiki><blockquote> ...blah blah ... </blockquote></nowiki>) is the same as the code you get when you press "edit", so you could just copy one of those to practice. What you need then is the various definitions for "email" found in [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] (and possibly other CSS files... check the source code of a wiki page to see what they are). Also, you would need the image of Strong Bad's face copied and saved to your server. It sounds kinda coplicated, but I hope this helps. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:55, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== WOW ==
Hey, '''Ben.''' I know you probably noticed, but we had a WOW-style vandal before (Homestar walker). But he...apologized? He seems a tad confused. — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 18:01, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Hey, '''Dave.''' I did notice. In fact, I deleted all the bogus redirects I could find. I think I got them all. As for blocking him, I wasn't sure whether to do it. If blocking would lead to more vandalism but ''not'' blocking wouldn't, then I'm willing to leave well enough alone. I was actually seeking advice from Joey and/or Tom, but neither of them seems to be online right at the moment. Obviously, if Willy or whoever this gets so much as a toe out of line again, he'll get the indefinite block. What do you think? I haven't been able to get in touch with any of the other sysops, either, so he could yet be blocked by one of them and this discussion would be moot. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:12, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::Hmmm...since it was my first WOW-battling incident, I was bit hot afterwards, ''especially'' when he came out and said "sorry" and then "if you try to block me, I'll just do it again." It all seemed typically sophmoric to me - clearly he was having fun moving the same four pages over and over and over again, but then he lost interest and indicated he wanted to contribute. Essentially, he was malicious, but only so long as it saved him from being bored.

:::Your point is well-taken, though: if we can't actually block him because of the AOL loop-hole, then I guess it shouldn't be a problem if he continues behaving like a normal user. I'm not big on holding grudges, and if '''Venusy''' and '''bkmlb''' (the other two users caught up in the battle against him) don't have a problem with him staying on, then I don't have a problem.

:::''Here is the relevant text from that page:''<blockquote>Becoming an admin, as they're also called, is a good goal to have, but it doesn't happen overnight. Basically, you start out at the bottom of the totem pole, and work your way up. Over time, people will begin to notice your edits; you'll want to make good ones. If you do, gradually a sense of trust will develop between you and the wiki community. In the meantime, fight [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|trolls]], add good [[stuff|fun facts]], [[Special:Recentchanges|monitor]] pages for bad edits, help out with the maintenance of the site, learn the ins and outs of the software. Undertake a worthwhile project (but ... it's best to get approval before doing so). Then, sometime in the future, the current admins will open the floor for nominations for new sysops, at which time another user can throw your name in the ring. Then, we'll all vote on you. They probably won't nominate new admins for a while, and when they do, maybe you'll be nominated, maybe not. Either way, keep on keepin' on making good edits and building up that trust. It's just that simple!</blockquote>

::I'm glad you posted that, It's dot com, because it's a good explanation! Definately monitor for edits, learn to recognize good and poor edits, and always be diplomatic in discussions. Undertaking worthwhile projects (with wiki-approval first) is a great way to contribute and be noticed. To all of this, I would add that you should think about why you want to become an administrator. If you want to be an administrator to have more power, that's the wrong reason. It's about responsibility, not power, and it sometimes involves doing unpleasant things. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:46, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Uh... I think i just found a troll. What do i do? --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 21:17, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:First things first... what did you find? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

::Oh wait, dorian gray deleted it, i think. It was on the user page [[User:Aussie Evil]]. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 21:20, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Oh good, thanks for blockin them. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 21:25, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Below are some general suggestions for anyone who might be faced with this issue in the future. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:40, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

'''If you find a troll, especially one in progress:'''
*Revert each affected page to the last good version (the instructions for reverting are at the top of [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]]).
*''Use the edit comment "reverting trolling".'' This will help the sysops notice something is wrong.
*Make an entry on [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]] for the troll. If no sysops are around at the time of the vandalism, they can check the list and make appropriate blocks later.
'''Some things to remember, especially in the face of a serious attack:'''
*Remain calm.
*Remain professional.
'''Some things ''not'' to do:'''
*Do not feed the trolls.
*That is, do not put anything in edit summaries that would encourage them to continue their attacks.
*Likewise, do not try to reason with them or taunt them on their talk pages.
Hope that helps! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:It does, thanks!!!! --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 22:14, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==Edit comments==
How does one make editing comments? -[[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 21:43, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Click "edit" at the right over there → . Then look just below the editing window. See where it says "Summary"? Type something in that box. That's how you leave an edit comment. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:47, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==Alphabetizing Categories and Catchin' Trolls==
This seems like a good place to put stuff... I don't wanna clutter your talk by making new categories, that's why I keep piggybacking my messages. Ever thought of Archiving!? (gasp!) Hehe. Anyway on to ''buisness'':
*Ooooohhh! Right! So that's what it does. I thought it changed how the entry looked in the category list, and seeing no change, thought it did nothing. I had to remove it cuz it was autolinking to PseudoCharacters edit page, and I am sure I had created the link after I made the page. And I think I tried to purge... the hard way... Maybe? Anyway thanks for the fix!
*BTW check out my first troll person report!
--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:10, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:    If a comment really is a continuation of an earlier thread, then go ahead and piggyback, but if it's a new thought, then it's perfectly fine to (and I prefer that you would) start a new thread. :) I reorganize my talk page from time to time and it helps me keep everything straight. As for archiving, I'm probably gonna put it off for at least a little bit longer. Only recently has this page exploded to the point that archiving would be necessary. If you want to see a page really in need of being split, look at [[User talk:Tom|Tom's talk page]].
:    As for the user who deleted things, well, he's not a troll. You may disagree with the things he deleted, but each example was something that is borderline. I even agree with a couple of them. Also, there's no reason to think that he saw the message left him in the edit summaries. Most anonymous users probably never look there. If you need to leave him a note, you should do so on his talk page.
:    Sorry for removing him from the troll list, because I can tell you're proud of it and that your heart is in the right place. Don't worry... there'll be plenty others. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:36, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah.... I was proud of it. You're quite observant! :). Bye troll edit :'( ... ;) To me they looked like random edits removing credible information. He was just over that side of the line (except for his first edit). Oh well. Next time! Catch ya later! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:36, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==IP block issues==
Yo, Mr. Dot Com, might I ask why you keep blocking my IP address every time, and also mark me as a "repeat offender?" I asked nicely for you and the other sysops to fix the rpoblem of this, because it's getting extremely frustrating for me when I want to edit something and I can't because somebody with a similar IP addy is trolling the site. This is now the fifth time that something like this has happened, and the second consecutive time that it's been you who has blocked me. I know you're just trying to do your job, but it isn't fair to people who follow all the wiki rules to be blocked just because of idiotic trolls who like to delete pages and add cuss words to them. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 01:57, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:I apologize for any inconvenience, ISlayedTheKerrek. I will be happy to investigate your situation further, but I need some more information. What was the IP address that was blocked? When did you notice the problem? How do you connect to the Internet? I have reviewed the block log, and any blocks I have imposed for any real length are for what I consider serious infractions. There have been only three occasions when I have used the comment "repeat offender," only one of which was recent. In addition, the IPs fitting this description have had zero legitimate edits. Unfortunately, since this seems to be a recurring problem, it may not have a simple solution. There are some real jerks out there whose mission in life seems to be to spoil the fun for everybody else. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we try to sort this out. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:23, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::My IP address, although I don't know EXACTLY which one it is offhand, is in the 205 range. Note this as well...I am not editing from my computer at this exact moment, as you again have blocked me because of the reason I stated before. I hope you can find a way to fix it soon, because this is now time number 5. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 18:28, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:::KerekSlayerDude: You can check your IP by going to [http://www.ipchicken.com IP Chicken]. Let us know the exact IP that is blocked and we'll see if we can get the block removed. Thanks. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:54, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::Well, my current IP address according to IP Chicken is 152.163.101.7, which has changed in the last couple of days from the 205.whatever it was before. Right now, I'm able to edit from my computer, so all is good for now. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 14:51, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:::::Thanks, Kerrek. If you have this problem in the future please let us know. Again, we're sorry about the inconvenience. We appreciate having you around and hate to see good productive members getting blocked an behalf of nasty trollers. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 16:18, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::::Actually, he ''slayed'' the Kerrek. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
:::::::ISlayedTheKerrek, if you ever find yourself blocked from editing again, please simply email a sysop or [mailto:admin@hrwiki.org the Admins] a short note explaining the situation. Make sure you include the IP address that appears on the blocked notice. It is easy for a sysop to unblock you, you just need to supply us with the proper information and remain calm. Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:34, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== ATTENTION: this is a joke, don't take it seriously ==

I thought you of all people would know that it's against the rules to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Sick_Day&curid=12730&diff=0&oldid=157606 tamper with other people's comments]. I'll let it slide this time, but try to be more careful in the future. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 15:46, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Well, at least I justified it by doing it for no good reason whatsoever. ;) ...Seriously (and I know you said don't take it seriously), you ''can'' fix others' formatting to a point, so long as you don't change the ''content'' of their comments. And, for purely aesthetic value, those color words really needed to be colorized. I would have gone with green for "greediest" (which of course is not a color word, just different from "greatest"), but it was already taken by "greenest." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:35, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah, I know... Just a little too bored this morning. I usually don't let it get the best of me, but what can I say. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 18:04, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:::Likewise, I only replied (partly) seriously because I don't like comments to go unanswered, especially on my own talk page, and I couldn't think of what else to say.

== Hi from H*L! ==
Hallo! I was ''so'' glad that my new page was noticed by a Wiki legend like yourself... Anydangway, it's cool to be welcomed into the Wiki community. I seem to be gaining popularity among current and former music students. Keep on tranglin'. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 04:33, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Sorry for the late reply. I must have missed your comments. A ''legend''? Heh, I don't know about ''that'', but it's kind of you to say. And tranglin' is my middle name. Well, actually "dot" is, but if I ever changed my name, it might be to that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's tranglin' com]] 23:33, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

== Help creating welcome template? ==
I'm kinda embarrassing, since this is the sort of thing that seems like it ought to be easy to find an answer to—but it hasn't been. I want to start welcoming folks formally, and thought it would be nice to make an adapted welcome message of my own. I know doing this would involve creating a subpage in my userspace—but I have no idea how to go about that. Thanks! —[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 05:32, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Oooo! May I? (answer this one?) Making templates and new pages is really easy. So I hope I can explain well. First things first, new pages. All you need to do to create a page is to go to it and start editing it. Make sure you save the page, so it actually writes something down to create the page! Suppose you wanted to create a page called "strombalos" under your user space, then you'd go to [[User:notstrongorbad/strombalos]] (notice how it's in red now -- if you click on it now it'll take you straight to the edit page), and start adding information. It's that simple! You can even (from your user page) type the new URL yourself and start it that way. As for templates: all you need to do for the basic form is to put regular wiki code. There is more on templates that you can learn [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template here], cuz they have neat stuff like variables and the like. There is more general help [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Section here]. Now for your specific case, you want to make a welcome page for our guests. I won't go into detail here, but you must use the template format in a special way. Suppose you had a template [[User:notstrongorbad/welcome_template]] in that page. Then you inject the code: <code><nowiki>{{subst:User:notstrongorbad/welcome_template}}</nowiki></code> into the victims', er, guests page and hit submit. It will inject the code and replace the contents of the template in his page. To practice, you can always use the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]. Good luck! I hope this helps. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:57, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Block ==

Dot com, you blocked me then unblocked me.-24.24.226.13

:Yes. You keep messing with [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]], and it's hard to tell whether you're doing so maliciously. I suggest not doing that. The time that I blocked you, I thought you were blanking the page; then I realized those had recently been moved to an archive. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:10, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== Hyphen?! ==
(in regards to Freshley's) I know it's an apostrophe; I have no idea what I was thinking when I made the edit. Just so you know that I'm not completely stupid. :-) The reason I reverted the edit, though, was even though it's correct, the display of the link is really funky, and for readability, it probably needs to be without the apostrophe, correct or not. [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 20:19, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
:I'm not sure what you mean by really funky. I just looked at it again, and it looks normal to me. Either way, it's correct with the apostrophe, so it probably needs to be with it, funky or not. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:22, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
::At least for me, the external link box doesn't show up, unlike next to Mrs. Freshley's and the like, so there's several spaces between the word Shaw's and the text that follows it (such as Shaw's____and then text). But yeah, it does need it. That's why I had added it in the first place, but then I figured that it wasn't in the word because the link looked weird, so I took it back out. So it turns out that an edit of mine that I reverted was reverted back. Or something. My head hurts. — [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 05:07, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

== Sandbox Talk ==

Since talking through Sandbox edits can get old, I figure I'd at least close the conversation here! :) Anyway thanks for the help making the edit easier, even if I was done by that time. At least I have a better idea of how play around with this more efficiently! :D --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:35, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
:Heh. Yeah, I was gonna follow along with what you were doing, but all that extra stuff kept getting in the way. Oh, well. Glad I could ''almost'' help. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

==Regarding the Article of the Day==

Thanks for the image revert. I probably should have discussed the choice of image earlier, but hindsight is 50/50. I didn't exactly have my heart set on any one image, since the one I came up with originally was a different one altogether. I could see an edit war happening with this feature, what with like 50 images to choose from. I just wanted something easy to make out and understandable, that embodied the early Fanstuff, particularly drawings (since they don't usually feature those anymore). But the Matrix parody is a fun, clever, simple pic, and one that TBC also meantioned in the FAQ. Thanks for keeping watch. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:15, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
:I've protected images on the main page before. Are we also supposed to protect featured ''articles'' as well? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:31, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
::If it's changed again, we could just protect the article. I don't think usually, since alot of users link stuff, fix wording, ect. Perhaps something similar in the future might warrent a featured article overview protect. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:47, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

User:It's dot com

HomestarCoder — Sun, 23 Oct 2005 22:58:59 GMT

HomestarCoder: User:It's dot com moved to User:It's dot com ON WHEELS!

__NOTOC__<div style="background-color:#fff; border-width:2px; border-style:solid; border-color:#27160E; margin:0px;">
<div style="background-color:#BE0023; font-size:150%; color:#fff; margin:10px; border:none; text-align:center;">
It's dot com
</div>
<div style="background-color:#fff; margin:20px;">

Hey there every peoples. My name's Ben, better known around here as It's dot com (you can also call me Dot com if you want). I'm a 28-year-old graphic designer/computer-systems manager from Texas, USA.

<div style="float:right;padding-left:50px">[[Image:dot-com.png|300px|It's dot com!]]</div>
==About my user name==
My first experience with homestarrunner.com was, appropriately, the [[First Time Here?]] page. About fifteen seconds into the intro, Homestar utters his classic line: '''"Oh, right... homestarrunner.net: ''It's dot com!"'''''

From that instant, I was hooked. I knew this site was the place for me.

(You may notice on the First Time page that the text appearing on the screen is misspelled "Its dot com" (without the apostrophe). I got it right for my user name and in the image on the right, because everybody knows that if you want it to be possessive, it's just "ITS," but if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's "I-T-apostrophe-S." Scalawag.) 

==What I like to do==
I am one of the '''[[HRWiki:Administrators|sysops]]''' here. [[Special:Contributions/It's dot com|My contributions]] come in lots of shapes and sizes, but in general I:
*Patrol the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]]
*Keep an eye on [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] and perform routine maintenance there
*Fight [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|trolls]]
*Perform [[HRWiki:WikiGnome|gnome]] work
*Begin new pages and encourage their development, including transcribing toons whenever I get the opportunity
*Participate in discussions important to the wiki
*Beautify formatting
*Assist those in need, especially welcoming and mentoring new members
If I can help you or if you have a comment or question, '''leave a note on my [[User_talk:It's dot com|talk page]].''' I'd love to hear from you.

==Favorite quotes==
I frequently work the following quotes (often including the inflection) into everyday conversations.

*"That's just nonsense. Are you trying to make [[interview|some sense]]?"
*"Hey, Strong Bad, I'm inside your house." "Oh, [[english paper|that sucks]]."
*"[[Senor Mortgage|No probalo]]."
*"Oh, I doubt it. [[The Interview|I drove]]."

==Pages and things I'm proud of==
*'''Transcribed''' (or helped transcribe) the following:
**[[lady...ing]]
**DVD commentaries for emails 126–130
**[[Puppets on the Road]]

*'''STUFF reform''' After a ''lot'' of planning, [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] went live on June 17, 2005. It's been over two months now, and things are still going smoothly. Thanks to all who supported my design during the test stages, especially [[User:Jay|Jay]] and [[User:Tom|Tom]], who helped steer me in the right direction code-wise and with some of the implementation. See also the [[User:It's dot com/STUFF reform|original proposal]].
*'''My first page''' [[Rock Opera Context]] was the very first page I created for the Wiki. Don't think for a moment that I did the whole thing myself — it was a HUGE group effort. But I was the one who set up the page, created the link to the email [[rock opera]], established the general format, and got the ball rolling on filling in the words. As the page was shaping up, I helped fix things here and there whenever necessary. One of my favorite things about the page is that as you read each line, you can remember and enjoy the essence of all the emails in the space of only a minute.
*'''110 sbemail redirects''' We decided create [[Strong Bad Email]] redirects like this: [[sbemail1]] → [[some kinda robot]]; [[sbemail2]] → [[homsar]]; and so on. ''I personally set up 110 in thirty minutes!'' (There were 133 emails at the time, if you wonder. And for you math majors out there, I did an average of one every 16.4 seconds. Man, I was ''flying''.)
*'''New email styles''' I didn't [[Talk:Strong_Bad_Email#New_email_format...|come up with the idea]] or make the graphic, but I had some good input once the idea was rolling. When it came time go go live with the styles, I personally converted the most emails to the new format (Jay and I each did almost exactly half, but by my count I barely edged him out). I made sure to do at least one from all three computer eras, and I think I did ''all'' the Tandys. I also did the special cases in [[the bird]], [[weird dream]], [[anything]], and [[other days]].

==Interests outside H*R==
*[[Wikipedia:Major League Baseball|Major League Baseball]], especially the [http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp?c_id=tex Texas Rangers Baseball Club]
*Graphic design
*Favorite TV shows:
**''[[IMDb:tt0367279|Arrested Development]]''
**''[[IMDb:tt0098904|Seinfeld]]''
**''[[IMDb:tt0285403|Scrubs]]''
**''[[IMDb:tt0182576|Family Guy]]''
**''[[IMDb:tt0096697|The Simpsons]]'' (not the later seasons)
**''[[IMDb:tt0285331|24]]''
**''[[IMDb:tt0108757|ER]]''

==Reminders to myself==
*"It never hurts to double-check" — Lucille Bluth from ''Arrested Development''
*Check the contribs
*Check the edit summaries
*How's the [[Homestar Peeking]] discussion coming?
*Go over [[Puppets on the Road]] again
*Finish the DVD commentaries

Please leave your comments and messages for me below:

==Doreauxgard???==
Where on Earth did you come up with this spelling of the canteloupe's name? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 13:07, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Heh. I was waiting for someone to notice. Glad you asked. Take a look at [http://www.homestarrunner.com/weeklies/weeklies.xml weeklies.xml]. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 13:09, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

::Uh... how do you get it to work?? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 13:11, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::Oh, I'm guessing your browser puked like mine does 'cause of Jonathan's sloppy XML. When you visit the page, go to View > Source. That ought to work. Scroll down toward the bottom and you'll see the official spelling (between "ehsteve" and "oldstrongbad"). [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 13:14, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
:::: No, that doesn't work either. But I'll take your word for it. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 13:17, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
::::Never mind. Got it to work in a different browser. Interesting. It also lists "1up" (presumably, 20x6 Homestar) and "oldcoachz", who has only been seen in a short cameo. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 13:21, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
:Yeah, I saw the 1up thing, too. According to hearsay, TBC have referred to 20X6 as 1-Up Xtraman (or ExtraMan or Extra Man or something). It would be nice if we could get word from the horse's mouth about his real name. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 13:23, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

::"Chapos: here are the character shortcuts"

::Hee hee. Chapos. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

== Fancy New Signatures ==
Hey Jordan. Is there a nifty little shortcut code to make your name show up all small like that? Kinda like the for tildes or whatever? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 14:27, 8 Oct 2004 (MST)

:Good question. Yes, and it's a feature that Tom came across last week. He's so smart. So, if you go to the Preferences page (at the top next to your username and "my talk") you'll see a "Your nickname (for signatures)" box. Leave it blank and <nowiki>~~~</nowiki> will just show your username as you're accustomed to. But you can fill it in with whatever you want.

:But there's a bit of a trick to getting it to look like mine. What I have in my box is this:
<pre><nowiki></nowiki>]]&mdash; [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki></pre>
:Yes, it's ugly. All that extra stuff is basically there to work around the formatting/linking that the Wiki does automatically. I hope I've been helpful. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]]

== T.R.O.L.L.? ==
Howdy, there, Interruptor jones! I'm Mega-Cheat 2.0, remember me? I was wonderin' if ya'll could help me with my T.R.O.L.L project. It was from the original wiki, but it got baleeted.
See ya lorter!

:What sort of help are you looking for? [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 10:01, 21 Dec 2004 (MST)

::T.R.O.L.L is pointless. It serves no use at all, except a large list of people who like to hunt down trolls. It really doesn't need to happen. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

Just like building it. Every time I try to put in on the wiki, my computer freezes up. IT WON'T SAVE!

:This is a problem with your computer, and I can't help you with that. Try using a [http://www.spreadfirefox.com/ better browser]. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 09:46, 22 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Kobe ==

Yeah, Drhaggis and I can't seem to fix the [[Kobe]] page [[HRWiki:Projects#Kobe Problem|problem]]. Here's the deal: When the pages were first thought up, they were linked to from the characters page as "Kobe#1" and "Kobe#2". Someone came along to those red links and created the page. Of course, this really only created one page called "Kobe", but somehow messed up the database. Special wiki pages treat it weird too. For example, "[[Special:Uncategorizedpages]]" displays "Kobe" twice but really link to "Kobe#1" and "Kobe#2" while "[[Special:Allpages]]" seems to not have a problem. We've tried deleting and recreating the page, but to no avail. Any ideas?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:12, 5 Feb 2005 (MST)

I have no idea. Maybe ask the MediaWiki folks. That's all I got. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 23:59, 5 Feb 2005 (MST)

:Cool. Yeah, it's not really a big deal or anything, it was just bothering me. Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:02, 6 Feb 2005 (MST)

:Maybe delete the pages and rename them without "#".

== Lime Freeze Pops ==
Well, I mean, his tongue really -was- green... ;)

:I agree, but the way you incorporated it into the article wasn't very good. It may work better as a Fun Fact, for example. In all honesty, that article needs a lot of cleanup, and at this point adding items of trivia to the main body of the article is the reason it's such a mess. However, I appreciate your contribution and I think that the green tongue fact is relevant, it just needs to be added to the article's content in a more orderly fashion.

:P.S. Please sign your posts. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 22:40, 9 Feb 2005 (MST)

== Logo ==

Hey, do you think either of these is worthy of being the logo? --[[User:noclip|noclip]] 20:33, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

[[Image:hrwlogoidea-fixed.png]] [[Image:hrlogowithhr.png]]

:I think they're both brilliant and you did a fantastic job. However, the decision isn't mine to make. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 22:41, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

:P.S. Homestar in that second one is a leetle bit jaggy.

I think the first one should be the new logo[[User:pertmywert|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:pertmywert|pertmywert]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]]
I agree!! Coolness to the awexome-streme! --[[User:kerrek slaya|kerrek slaya]] 21:10, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

They should totaly chang the logo to one of those! [[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 00:39, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::The first one is definitely better than our current one. The second one is a vairiable-tranparency PNG, and you know how those are with IE users. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

== Your sig ==

I've noticed your signature usually has [[]] appended to the end of it. My guess is the MediaWiki upgrade messed it up (I know it messed my own sigs up). What you can do is go to your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]] and check "Raw signatures (without automatic link)", then change it to straight wiki code... no more of that fancy <nowiki> stuff. For example mine is just <tt><nowiki>[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])</nowiki></tt>. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 12:53, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Hey, that's brilliant. I noticed to trouble, too, but was too lazy to figure out how to fix it. Thanks. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 14:05, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Happy Birthday! ==

Happy birthday, Jordan. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 21:04, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

:Woot! Thanks. You're awesome. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 13:49, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

== I found a troll! ==
66.82.9.39 is the IP address. It was a troll in the fanstuff wiki. Battle of Homestar High. [[User:Seek Bar|DonZabu]]

== Wikipedia article about HRWiki ==
Me and a few other users are setting up a [[Wikipedia:User:Kookykman/HRWiki article in progress|Wikipedia article]] about the HRWiki. ([[Wikipedia:User talk:Kookykman/HRWiki article in progress|Here's]] the talk page for it.) Just thought I'd let you know. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

User talk:Furrykef

HomestarCoder — Sun, 23 Oct 2005 22:58:56 GMT

HomestarCoder: User talk:Furrykef moved to User talk:Furrykef ON WHEELS!

== Section linking ==
Kef, I can't seem to figure out [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Section#Section_linking section linking]. Joey and I first encountered the problem here: [[Talk:dangeresque 3]]. Any ideas? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:04, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)
:This is something that has been the source of my worst frustrations regarding the move to MediaWiki. Help in this matter would be '''immensely appreciated!''' [[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]

==Select The Usable Fun Facts==
What a clever and useful tool you have created! And your newly-developed acronym "STUFF" was a nice choice as well! I think you're doing a good thing here, as noted directly by your recent "policing" of the addition of obvious fun facts in [[virus]] - an increasing "annoyance" by new users of wiki (with the IP addresses and "no name brand" edits!) ...Heh. I think you're taking a great step toward creating a coherent list of fun facts - that are just what a veteran wiki user such as yourself would want them to be - fun AND factual.

:I can't really take credit for the acronym -- that was [[User:Tom|Tom]]'s idea, after we spent a few minutes trying to decide on a name for it. I asked if we should pick a playful name or a boring and adminstrative name. So we hit on the idea of a boring name with a playful acronym. We decided on this one when Tom noted we could go "STUFF'D!" whenever something had to be moved. :P - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 02:01, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Trolling ==

I'm sorry if I did troll. Please forgive me.

== Fun Fact Compromise ==

I have given much thought to the progress being made with STUFF. I am very glad someone has spearheaded an attempt to control the "fun fact" problem, but I still think that the voting and discussion for disputed Fun Facts should be made on the article's talk page and not on the STUFF page.

If a controversial article like [[Wikipedia:History of Israel]] can exist on the Wikipedia by using the Talk page and without resorting to a common page voting system, I think the Homestar Wiki article [[virus]] can too.

Now that we have people's attention with the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page I suggest that we move content discussion back to the Talk pages where they belong.

I have created a preliminary template:disputed

It reads the following: {{disputed}}

This could be used to let contributors know that there is a dispute, and to direct them to the talk page. The Disputed Fun Facts link should go to a page with the info that you wrote on what is and is-not a good fun fact.

People were not using the talk pages effectively in the past, which is a failure of us the users, not of the talk pages.

Please don’t take my dispute with "Stuff" as something personal. We both want the same thing, to make a fantastic Homestar reference site.

-[[User:Drhaggis|[[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]]] 16:32, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I don't take it personally, so no worries. But I think we should try out the STUFF page idea longer. I still don't really see anything wrong with it, and a single STUFF page will be easier to manage than a bunch of Talk pages. Yes, Wikipedia can afford to have everything spread thin on Talk pages, but they also have many more people watching what's going on in controversial articles. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 04:06, 27 Nov 2004 (MST)

== About LUE ==

LUE (Life, the Universe, and Everything) is a message board on GameFAQs, notorious for causing trouble throughout the Web.

The truth is much more complicated. Google it if you want to know more. I suggest not even bother; they're just a troll group. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 20:58, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)

:Yeah, thanks for getting a bunch of stuff off my page -- [[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]]

== Nicknames ==

Hey, cool idea adding nicknames to the character pages. It's nice to have them in one place like that. Do you think it would be worthwhile to expand to every character?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:27, 25 Dec 2004 (MST)

:Thanks! After doing Strong Sad and Homestar I realize just how many names Strong Bad has for everyone. Some characters will only have one or two, though. Maybe we should start an article devoted to just Strong Bad's names and take them of the individual biographies. What do you think? --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:31, 25 Dec 2004 (MST)

::You know what, I think that sounds better. It'd be crazy cool to see them all together. I remember having something like this about [[The Cheat]], about what the other characters called him. (Before it [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Cheat&diff=14389&oldid=14343 was removed] somehow...) That might help you out.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:38, 25 Dec 2004 (MST)

::::Er, I don't think Related Changes works like that. It's one of those special MediaWiki functions that displays what changes have been recently made to pages that are linked to the current page. Yeah, it's kind of a weird function. You can just work the link to the nicknames page into the article somehow.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:54, 25 Dec 2004 (MST)

:::I'm really honored that you nominated me to be an admin. It has crossed my mind a few times, like when I'm watching a trolling in progress (like the barrage of SsS* spam) and wishing that I could just block them right away instead of following them from page to page.
:::But... I've only been on this Wiki for a month, and most of that month was during my winter break, so I could spend most the day on here guarding the Wiki from trolls. Now that I'm back in school, I've stopped visiting as often. I still drop by multiple times per day, but I don't want to disappoint anyone I'm expected to be as quick at reverting pages as I was one week ago. Also, since I've been here a month, there's still a lot about Wikis in general that I don't know, and I don't want to step on anyone's toes.
:::That having been said, if I were made an admin, I would absolutely love it. I would definitely use my powers for awesome. But before I get too excited about it, I'll just wait to see what the ''real'' admins have to say about it. :-)

== About ==
Hello! I'm FireBird. I'm an average thirteen-year-old, a guitarist, a drummer, a pianist, a cartoonist and a wiki addict.

I live here at the wiki (since February 11, 2004, when it was still with WikiTikiTavi). I have made around 6000 edits to the new and old wiki. I love catching trolls, fixing (and probably making) grammar mistakes, patrolling edits and [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|welcoming]] people. ([[Special:Contributions/FireBird|See all edits and contributions]].)

I don't have one particular email as my favorite, but I enjoy [[helium]], [[montage]], [[modeling]], [[lunch special]], [[local news]], [[mascot]], [[dangeresque 3]], [[pom pom]], [[mile]] and [[bottom 10]]. My favorite character is [[1-Up]], followed closely by [[Pom Pom]].

== Just a question for Haggis.. ==

Where did you grow up? Your username reminds me of someone I went to High School with. He was a They Might Be Giants fan and loved to shout "Haggis!".. Just thought you might be him..
-strongrad

I did not gain the moniker "Dr Haggis" until well past high school. I too like to yell "haggis!" or "Lad!" or even "Latin!" if need be. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 06:06, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Inside Jokes==

Since you've done alot of the technical sorting and catagorizing, I was wondering about the page '[[Inside Jokes]]'. Couldn't we change that page to just [[:Category:Inside Jokes]]? I think it would be alot easier to keep organized and up to date, and it seems to violate the [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once]]. Just let me know what you think, thanks doc. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:37, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:While this would seem like a good solution, categories are simply not meant to contain articles.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:52, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Then is this a no? As it is right now, they seem to contain pretty much the same exact material, and it would be easier to update the category. The only change I can think of is that the links to [[Inside Jokes]] would change to [[:Category:Inside Jokes|Inside Jokes]]. Of course if you don't think it's a good idea that's okay, but it seems to make sense to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:42, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::I'm sorry, I should have remembered this earlier, but [[HRWiki talk:FAQ#Category Redirect not working?|this has come up before]]. Pretty much, yeah that was a no. I know it might make sense to do it the way you suggested, but it's not how the software is expected to work.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:27, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Dude last night wiki fanstuff was destroyed by an error I tried to type my user name [[User:Stinkobad1|Stinkobad1]] but it said that user name didn't exist so what are we going to do about it?

HomestarCoder: User talk:AgentSeethroo moved to User talk:AgentSeethroo ON WHEELS!

I know, this is just a copy of my userspace on the old wiki. Imma change it up. And nix the comments page. Altogether. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:43, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Um, yeah. Good. And the subpages too... We still have to hammer out the userspace policy too. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:51, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

::Well..let's hammer it out then. What's wrong with subpages in a userspace? It seems like the only logical area to use a subpage in Mediawiki, mainly because you can't categorize Userspace. They're just under the User: namespace. What if we made a category for each username? Like category:AgentSeethroo? Wait. No. Bad idea... -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:56, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::Yeah, my bad. I keep forgetting that you don't know about some of the things we've discussed earlier. I think this might be on Joey's list of things to do... Joey? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:40, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

::::Ah. Since I missed the Userspace discussion, what exactly are the Userspace standards? And what'll happen to old wiki userspaces? Will they be moved, or stay there? Will people have one in each, if they choose to contribute to both? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 09:52, 12 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::::I'm not really sure about the standards right now. (Joey?) I know I don't want the crap that's on 'Tavi to come over here. There are several users that only update their userspace and their fanstuff. Some don't even contribute to regular informational pages. As to moving them and so forth, that will be left up to each individual user (after we get those rules). And we can't really create pages for users that don't exist over here. Remember, the 'Tavi Wiki will still be around some where so that things can be copied over. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:01, 12 Aug 2004 (MST)

::::::Speaking of standards, should we be writing all the standards we come up with down somewhere? For a reference for ourselves, if anything else. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 11:16, 12 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::::::I know someone has started working on them already (Joey?). Joey has a Mission Statement all lined up that he has been tweaking. But I think the reason I didn't start on anything is that I really didn't want to be doing the same stuff as Joey. But yes, you're right. We should start anyway. I know there's something on [[Talk:Strong Bad Email]], but I don't think that's anything close to what we need. I kind of setup a framework on the [[Help:Contents]] page, but that might have been for Joey. But hey, it's a Wiki, right? Go for it, man. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:41, 12 Aug 2004 (MST)

HomestarCoder: User:AgentSeethroo moved to User:AgentSeethroo ON WHEELS!

AgentSeethroo V2.0

== Who? ==

Hey all, AgentSeethroo here. I got tired of having a userspace that I didn't come up with, so uhhh...here's the new one.

I'm in the US Air Force, no I'm not a pilot, and no, not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot.

I'm a Contract Administrator, which simply means I (along with other people in my career field) buy everything that comes through the gate at lovely Luke AFB in scenic Phoenix, AZ, where I'm currently stationed.

I try to help out here at the [http://www.hrwiki.org Wiki] and [http://forum.hrwiki.org Wiki Forum] whenever I can, so for the most part I split my time between this site and my website, the [http://blackboxrepublic.com Black Box Republic], where I have an actual [http://wiki.blackboxrepublic.com Halo Wiki] and [http://forum.blackboxrepublic.com Forum] dedicated to everything from movie, video game and music review, to our own Halo 2 Clan information.

Here's the interview I wrote back when my UserSpace was DVD themed.
I like it, so it's stayin' in.

== Interview with the Director ==

The uncut, complete interview.

'''REPORTER''': So...

'''AgentSeethroo''': So?

'''REPORTER''': Sorry, just straightening up my notes...

'''AgentSeethroo''': No problem...I'll wait.

'''REPORTER''': I'm a little nervous, this is my first interview..

'''AgentSeethroo''': Don't worry about it! It's easy. Look, I'll show you! Let me interview you!

'''REPORTER''': Ok?

'''AgentSeethroo''': Mr. REPORTER, are you an evil leprechaun?

'''REPORTER''': uhh...no, what kind of ques- <gets interrupted>

'''AgentSeethroo''': <interrupts> Don't dodge the question Mr. REPORTER, my sources are VERY reliable.

'''REPORTER''': This is supposed to make me more relaxed?

'''AgentSeethroo''': I'm asking the questions here.

'''REPORTER''': Oh. Sorry.

'''AgentSeethroo''': Ok, so my notes say that you're married. How's married life treatin' ya?

'''REPORTER''': um...those notes say that ''you're'' married...they're my notes...

'''AgentSeethroo''': <looking down at notes> Right. So they are...

'''REPORTER''': Ok so...it's my turn now right?

'''AgentSeethroo''': You're feeling better now?

'''REPORTER''': Sure, whatever, let's just get this over with.

'''AgentSeethroo''': That's the spirit!

'''REPORTER''': Mr. Seethroo, what was your inspiration throughout the production of this film?

'''AgentSeethroo''': Aw, crap, your time's up, I have another interview in 2 minutes!

'''REPORTER''': Of...course...you do. Thank you for your time...

'''AgentSeethroo''': No, thank you! <gets up and walks out>

'''REPORTER''': Putz.

Talk:different town

HomestarCoder — Sun, 23 Oct 2005 22:58:45 GMT

HomestarCoder: Talk:different town moved to Talk:different town ON WHEELS!

==Star==
Does anyone think that homestar ripping off his star could be a reference to Marshmallow's Last stand, where Strong Bad steals it from him?
:No. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:00, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Jacket==
Maybe it is just me, but where the transcript says "And Coach Z would wear this cool jacket." I keep hearing "And Coach Z would wear a schooljacket". Does anyone agree?

I do, and I don't think it's a matter of opinion as atleast the mp3 version of the song goes "would wear a schooljacket" - 212.94.80.106

:Would a listen of the DVD version where John Linnell sings the song help any?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:06, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

::Probably, as I'll admit the distinction is (after listening to it about 20 times or so) small. - 212.94.80.106

::I just listened to the John Linnell version and it's definitely "this cool jacket" — [[User:Exhibit A|Exhibit A]] 19:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

:::Acknowledged. - 212.94.80.106

:::: The whole thing also comes down to: Coach Z is not wearing any sort of school jacket in that scene. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:13, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

== Over-linking ==
Every instance of a character’s name does not need a link. Linking the first mention of the name or place is sufficient. [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 16:15, 14 Sep 2004 (MST)

:Yes, I agree. This needs to be clear from the start. I think there's something about it in the [[Help:Contents|Help section]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:30, 14 Sep 2004 (MST)

== Over-sensitive referencing? ==

Is the "fourteenth song" really an explicit reference to a particular performance by a particular band? Doesn't every band introduce their songs that way upon ocassion? - [[ehsteveistaken]]

"funny pronunciation", eh? Hah! Those funny Germans. They're so funny! And rubbish! God bless America. --[[User:195.92.67.75|195.92.67.75]]

== Baal ==
Given the game is on a floppy and the propensity of TBC for vintage games Baal is more likely a ref to the 1989 Dos/Amiga/Commodore 64 game. See [[Floppy Disk Container]] for details.

===Beastie Boys (Declined)===
"This next one is the fourteenth song on my forty-second album" is a paraphrase of the Beastie Boys' [http://www.beastieboys.com/] introduction to their song "Jimmy James" on their album "Check Your Head". In that song, the Beasties begin by saying, "This Next One, Is The First Song On Our New Album..."
*'''Comment''' I STUFF'd this because it seems like a big stretch to me. I'm sure the Beastie Boys aren't the only ones who have said "this next one is the first song on our new album."

''{Strong Bad presses enter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{reading email below}''

I just wondering, if you had a chance 
to make your town different, what 
would you do? 
 
Sincerley 
Steven WV</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says Wolksvagen instead of WV}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Pour hot soup in Homestar's eyes, eh, Steven? That sounds like a pretty good- ''{He stops typing.}'' wait... what'd your email say again?

''{Strong Bad presses a key, and the email appears again}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{mumbling reading sounds}'' Oh. Oh-ho! Sorry.

''{Strong Bad presses a key, and starts the reply again.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Make the town different, eh, Steven? ''{He breaks into song.}'' Weeeeeeehhhhhhhlllllll.....

''{cut to The Poopsmith shoveling poop}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' The Poopsmith, he could talk—

'''THE POOPSMITH''': ''{singing}'' Hello!

''{The screen slides to reveal the right, where Marzipan is dressed in heavy metal garb, holding a guitar decorated with a skeleton pattern, in front of a wall of amplifiers marked 'Marzipan.'}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And Marzipan would rock-

''{Marzipan wails on her guitar}''

''{Cut to the stick}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And The Stick would be this big old tree that'd try to eat everyone except The Cheat and me—

'' {The Stick turns into a big tree with a scary mouth.}''

''{A polaroid picture of the tree with Strong Bad (still singing) and The Cheat hanging out with it. Strong Mad appears from behind the left border of the photo and says...}''

'''STRONG MAD''': AND ME!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' We'll see. ''{Strong Mad looks shocked}'' And The King of Town would be underground in a box filled up with peas...

''{pan down to reveal a large crate label 'A MILLION PEAS' buried under ground. A cut-out from the crate is taken away to reveal The King Of Town inside surrounded with peas}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': I hate peas!

''{Strong Bad appears in the lower right with a miner's hard hat and says...}''

'''STRONG BAD''': I know!

''{cut to Bubs' Concession Stand surrounded by flamethrowers and a sign that says 'Please, Take SEVERAL'.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' Bubs would give away flame throwers that shoot chocolate hundred-dollar bills...

'''BUBS''': Imitation chocolate!

''{Pan right to reveal Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And my stupid baby brother would have been born with horns and a tail...

''{Strong Sad sprouts horns and a tail.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{sadly}'' I'm evil.

''{Pan right to reveal the athletic field with Coach Z standing there wearing an orange jacket.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And Coach Z would wear this cool jacket.

''{Coach Z turns to reveal the back of his jacket which says 'Totally Style' and has a picture of a big thumbs up.}''

'''COACH Z''': Check it out, yo!

''{Pan right to reveal more of the athletic field with Homestar Runner standing there.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And Homestar just couldn't hack it!

''{Homestar Runner rips the star off the front of his shirt and throws it to the ground, angrily.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I quit!

''{Homestar starts stomping his star into the ground.}''

''{What looks like a collectors card floats into the left of the screen with a picture of Pom Pom making a basket.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And Pom Pom wouldn't change at all, 'cept he'd look like an ABA basketball.

''{Total blackout, fade in close up of Strong Bad's mouth. Zoom out to reveal Strong Bad wearing an undone blue shirt, kind of like Michael Bolton.}''

'''STRONG BAD''':''{Close up on Strong Bad's foot tapping.}'' Two, three, four ''{singing}'' and this little weirdo...

''{A spotlight turns on to reveal Homsar}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' ...would be a modestly hot girl...

''{Homsar silhouettes and morphs into a silhouette of Modestly Hot Homsar.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' ...to help me through the hard times... You know, the kind that are only sorta hot so they don't mess around with other guys!

''{Modestly Hot Homsar un-silhouettes and is wearing a blue one-piece swimsuit with the word 'homsar' on it. She is wearing Homsar's yellow bowler hat and has brown hair and pink lipstick.}''

'''MODESTLY HOT HOMSAR''': DaAaAa, I'm forever your girl! ''{her hat falls off}''

''{The crowd cheers.}''

''{Cut to the Computer Room where Strong Bad is standing on his stool.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Thank you! Thank you! All right! This next one is the fourteenth song on my forty-second album. It's called—

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing to the right of the computer desk dressed in a light blue tunic wearing horns and a tail}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Hey, Strong Bad—

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{off screen}'' WHOA! Can it be true?

''{Cut to group shot with Strong Bad and Strong Sad standing to the right of the computer. Strong Bad is still standing on his stool.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Homestar Runner called it quits? The King of Town, pea-buried alive?! The Poopsmith speaketh?

'''STRONG SAD''': No... Calm down, spaz. I'm going to the Clash of the Titans Con, dressed up as Calibos, remember? I was just gonna ask if you still wanted that bust of Bubo?

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh, um. Right. Of course. ''{clears throat} {speaking quietly}'' Yeah, I still want the bust of Bubo.

'''STRONG SAD''': OK, bye, weirdo. What are you standing on that stool for anyway?

'''STRONG BAD''': For your information, I was ''{pause}'' checking on the lights, Strong Sad. We got that recessed lighting, y'know. Yup, everything looks great.

''{Cut back to the computer where Strong Bad continues his reply.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, things would be different alright. Though I'm a little disappointed in what I came up with for Homsar. Modestly hot my eye! I think my imagination's broke. ''{stops typing}'' Lemme try and think up the ''{types again}'' Best Thing Ever. Umm... Beef... stew... Yup it's busted alright. I'm gonna go... place. ''{gets up from stool}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:ehsteven.png|thumb|150px|Eh. Steven.]]
*The words "eh, Steven?" can be clicked (only the first time SB types them) to show a [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|LEM]] drawing of "Eh. Steven." ([[Eh! Steve]] in formal wear).
*Clicking on "place" at the end brings up a [[Place]] postcard featuring [[Monkey D]] and the skyline of Seattle, Washington. It reads: "Greetings from PLACE." (Clicking it again closes it.)
*Click on the right side of "back" at the end to download the song.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
* The music for "Different Town" was performed by [[They Might Be Giants]] especially for HomestarRunner.com. However, the lyrics were written by [[The Brothers Chaps]].
*Although Strong Bad's imagination is by no means part of continuity, this is the first time that the Poopsmith speaks (if you ignore the hiss in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]).
*After you bring up the postcard from Place, you can still access the "download the song" Easter egg, which appears over the top of the postcard.
*If you look closely in [[Isle of Pom]] toon, you can see an ABA basketball Pom.

===Inside References===
*The postcard from [[Place|PLACE]] in the Easter egg is a reference to Strong Bad's postcards from destinations such as OVER THERE in the email [[vacation]].

*Wolksvagen is a play on words of the German automobile manufacturer: [[Wikipedia:Volkswagen|Volkswagen]]. The funny pronunciation comes from the fact that in German, the name is pronounced "'''F'''olks'''v'''agen."

*[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s eyes will again be threatened with hot soup in [[New Boots]], this time by [[The Cheat]].

== DVD Version ==
*The Eh! Steven Easter egg is viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The download link for Different Town has also been disabled for obvious reasons.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary, as well as the ''original'' version of the Different Town song, as sung by John Linnell. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

'''MIKE:''' This is a commentary- My name is Mike Chapman. This is my younger brother Matt, he's three years younger than me.

'''MATT:''' That's all true.

'''MIKE:''' So, this commentary track- we're going to allow John Linnell from They Might Be Giants- we're gonna put on his original track. They co-wrote the song for this e-mail

'''MATT:''' did all the music for it, I just sent an email with some of the words and a couple of notes and that- that's it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, so that's what we're going to play for the, um—

'''MATT:''' ''{quickly}'' Here it comes!

''{The Different Town music track is played, with John Linnell singing Strong Bad's lines (no other character's lines are said.)}''

'''MATT:''' I think I used a Miss Georgia, or Miss California, or something picture, for a reference for the hot Homsar.

'''MIKE:''' Probably was Miss Georgia.

'''MATT:''' You think so?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. She's pretty hot

'''MATT:''' So, we liked Clash of the Titans a lot.

'''MIKE:''' True. It, uh, scared me when I was little. And I like the special effects.

'''MATT:''' And it delights you in your old age.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' It does.

'''MATT:''' Bubo was, of course, the R2-D2 of Clash of The Titans.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the robot owl.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. But it was clockwork, Mike, there were no robotics back then. The gods had a mastery of clockworks, though.

'''MIKE:''' Gears.

'''MATT:''' Gears of...shimmies. Uh, Manhunter of New York, I believe, is in the diskbox there.

'''MIKE:''' ''Great'' game.

'''MATT:''' It's a great game. Speaking of terribly awkward graphics. ''{Mike laughs}'' That's something else that scared me when I was younger and delights me in my old age, is Manhunter of New York.

'''MIKE:''' Eyeballs. Flying eyeballs.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Orbs.

'''MIKE:''' Orbs. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Poor guy.

===Goofs===
*Matt incorrectly identifies the game in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] as "Manhunter of New York." It is actually "BAAL." The game "Manhunter of New York" appeared in the Floppy Disk container in [[Arcade Game]] and [[caper]].

===Fast Forward===

*Bubo the owl was later used as an Avatar for [[Strong Sad's Lament]].

==Radio Interviews==

Hey there Aurora, I was just curious about the transcript you made for the radio interview. Are radio interviews fair game as far as transcripts go, or did you have to ask the people for permission? I'm not much of the legal fellow, so I was just wondering. Thanks, ''<tt>[[Special:Contributions/Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]]</tt>'' 16:27, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

:Beats me.... that particular sound clip didn't even come with a website attached to it. I don't have time to deal with that right now, so if someone else wants to take it down and contact the radio station, then that would be fine... <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 20:32, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

==Siggie==

Hi Aurora. I just thought I'd pass a bit of [[User:JoeyDay|Joey Day]] wisdom on to you about sigs. (I've been going through most the sysops slowly) Have you tried the template sig meathod? Basically it lets you shorten your code left behind, and lets you change ALL your sigs at the same time. You just put your sig code on a subpage of your userpage, (e.g. 'User:Homestar Coder/sig' or something). Then in your prefferances box, put <nowiki>{{User:Homestar Coder/sig}}</nowiki> as your signature. And that's all there is to it. After that, if you ever change your sig on your subpage, it'll change all of the ones you've put since you started it. It sure changed my life. spread the word! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:47, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, I was going to do that... I'm lazy... <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 06:21, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

== Cleanup template ==

From [[Experimental Film]] :Thanks for the heads up on when to use this. I'll leave it alone unless a page is in big trouble (but with all y'all around, does that ever happen?) [[User:Sgleason|S Gleason]] 14:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== the right STUFF ==

Hey Aurora (or is it Amanda?), it's Dot com. I'm wanting to move forward with the new STUFF stuff, and to help rally the wiki community around my idea, I'd like to set up a STUFF sandbox so we can practice the new format and get used to it. For that, though, I need to set up some styles on the [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css|master style sheet page]]. Something like:

''{code deleted}''

Not being an admin, I can't do it myself. Can you help me with this, or do I need to take it to Joey? Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:47, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I think I could edit that page, but I think you should ask Joey about it first. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 03:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Cool. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:::Hold off on this for a bit.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:25, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::Um, what do you mean? I've already written to Joey. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:44, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::He must mean hold off on the Stuff reform. *sigh* <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 06:42, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::::Or maybe he was going to go ahead and make the CSS changes for me (looking at the monobook page history, I see now that he is the only other person besides Joey to ever edit it). Which is it, Tom? Keep in mind, I'm not about to make any drastic changes to the wiki—I'm just getting my ducks in a row to make a practice page in order to ''propose'' changes to the wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:51, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)</s>

Aurora, I've gotten another idea, and I think it's better than this. Let me see if I can make it work, and I'll get back to you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:38, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:K. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 20:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

At last, the format is ready for [[HRWiki:stuff test index|rigorous public testing]]. Come on down and give it a spin. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 08:42, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Pretty cool! Great jorb! I was wondering why the test is using made-up Stuff'd facts rather than the real ones. Won't people be confused if they don't understand we're testing a new stuff system and see that some obvious facts got stuffed? <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 15:05, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::That's a good point, but I think that testing with live pages would be even ''more'' confusing. Casual readers of the wiki don't see the recent changes page, just the articles. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:56, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::Oh, I didn't see that they were "test japanese cartoon" etc. OK, my concern is retracted. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 16:16, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Marzipan's skeleton ==

Why did you revert my edit regarding Marzipan's skeleton on That a Ghost? —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 13:53, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Because we generally omit any fun facts that come from viewing the Flash file. If we accepted everything that came from viewing the Flash file as canon, then we'd have to say that characters frequenly lose limbs and appear out of nowhere. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 14:27, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Good point. Nevertheless, I think that this fun fact is important because it helps to further elucidate Marzipan's unusual anatomy. Is there an alternate location that I should mention this? —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 21:52, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::: One thing I rarely agree with Aurora on is the treatment of .swf files. While it is true that we should not mention objects that DON'T appear outside the frame, like, say, missing limbs, objects that DO appear outside the frame but DON'T appear inside are generally noteworthy IMHO. Anyway, lemme check this out. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:59, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::Your comment on the [[That A Ghost]] page was "you can see even more of it [Marzipan's skeleton] if you view the Flash file and make the window tall and skinny". I don't think this adds anything, because there's not even a description of what you can see. I looked at it, and all that's there is a few "bones" that make the bottom of her dress, just like the ones that make up The Strong Bad's and The Homestar Runner's shoes. I don't find that very noteworthy in this case. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:49, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::: It just bothers me when we're picking apart stuff that TBC never really intended us to see (except, perhaps, for "Homestache Runner", but this toon was made far before that). Maybe they left stuff like the rest of Marzipan's skeleton out of frame because they were dissatisfied with how it looked and wouldn't want it to be considered canon. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:39, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::: I don't think this is a question of canon. I think that when they built Marzipan's skeleton, they built the whole thing without worrying what would be in and out of frame, and then when they put the toon together, part of it just happened to be below the black. But since it's only ''barely'' cut off, I don't think the additional wording above does anything to make the article more complete. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:49, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::: Sorry, forgot to respond. Yeah, looking at it, there's not very much that's cut off in this case and the fact stands without needing to mention the .swf. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:53, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::: I guess you guys are right. Still, there are a few bones that you don't see inside the frame. However, they are not much, and they don't really add anything to the fact that "Marzipan's skirt has bones". —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 02:46, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::::: Okay, I guess this got resolved. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 03:12, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== "This stuff is really getting old." ==

You said something to that effect on the STUFF page and I would like to nominate you forGOD for making that comment.

On the other hand, if people stopped being gigantic jerks to each other on the STUFF page, where will I get my daily daily dose of rage? [[User:131.247.9.91|131.247.9.91]]

:Well, there are upcoming measures which will hopefully solve the STUFF problem. Under the new system created by [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] there will be no more "clever" votes or personal comments, just a list of arguments for and against the fact and a list of signatures for votes. Don't worry, I'm sure there's plenty of places on the Internet you can go for a daily dose of rage -- try visiting an extremely partisan political blog ;) <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 16:53, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

And thanks for the combolations, and for reminding me that I should change my thought of the day. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 01:31, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::No, I'm talking about fullmetalalchemist.com. I've never heard of fullmetal-alchemist.com. I'll have to look into it!
Oh BTW, fullmetalalchemist.com has a game (Full Metal Alchemist game of course) called: The quest of the Sorceror's Stone (I think that's the name of it!) You can use Ed Elric or Alphonse Elric.

==character evolution==
that took an hour! why did you delete it- battlefrank
:The pictures were huge and made the page look cluttery. There's no need for those pictures, they exist on the respective character evolution pages.

:previews.-battlefrank
::Do you mean that the pictures you put up were previews of the individual Character Evolution pages? It's a nice idea, but you'd probably want to make the pictures uniform sizes and put it in some sort of table. However, since Character Evolution will probably be deleted in favor of the corresponding Category (see above), it's a bit of a moot point. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 16:20, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::::I do agree that it's complicated—at least, more complicated than before. When I first thought up the design, I knew it would be. So it became my task to make the process as streamlined as possible. First of all, voting on a particular fact is just as easy as it's always been, maybe easier now that people don't have to strain themselves to come up with something unfunny. Making it easy to vote was important to me: you click "edit" next to the fact, you put in <tt><nowiki>#~~~</nowiki></tt>, you click save—no muss, no fuss (and the instructions on how to vote are front and center).<div style="text-indent:2em">As far as adding a new STUFF item goes, I guess there's a tradeoff between simplicity and attractiveness. I'd say it's worth it, considering how fed up so many users are with the current STUFF page. But I truly believe it won't seem as complicated once we get the hang of it. All you really have to remember are three templates: <tt><nowiki>{{checkstuffpage}}</nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki>{{stuffnew|...}}</nowiki></tt>, and <tt><nowiki>{{stuffmore|...}}</nowiki></tt>. Everything else is just cutting and pasting.

: I somehow doubt he's really leaving for good. Anyway, you'd be better off trying to make friends with people here than enemies - especially when the people you choose as enemies have the power to block you from editing! However, although it was really dumb, my computer had no issue with the BIG TEXT (which didn't appear all THAT big to me) that he kept adding to everything and, if I knew it was a problem for you guys, I would have gladly reverted it the old fashioned way (I guess my computer puts a limit on the maximum text size on IE... yes, I use IE for the time being.

::Well, the thing with the big text was that it blocked the edit button off for people with certain configs (like mine).

:::::::Wow. Are you part of Tetazoo, Aurora? And if so, do you fit right in? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:45, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::::::Nope. I live in the other dorm mentioned in the article, Random Hall. And I know all of the Random Hall people mentioned in the article, of course. I suppose I fit right in ;) As you can see from the article, we won Mystery Hunt this year, which is so awesome. (Check out the Property of Ones puzzle on [[School Sightings]]). That's a pretty good article, and I'm pleased that it focuses so heavily on East culture. They even touch on some pretty controversial stuff. It's also nice that it focuses on Hunt rather than hacking. All the MIT articles talk about is hacking, but I'm a hunter, not a hacker ;) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 00:21, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::My eyes seem to be broken today. They're having trouble reading words that are right in front of them. (I admit I only skimmed the article.) But "Random" Hall? That seems so... I forget the technical term. Okay, I found "hack":
::::::::::''The word hack at MIT usually refers to a clever, benign, and "ethical" prank or practical joke, which is both challenging for the perpetrators and amusing to the MIT community (and sometimes even the rest of the world!). Note that this has nothing to do with computer (or phone) hacking (which we call "cracking").''
:::::::::So you're not a hacker. Are you a cracker? (I sound like Dave Chappelle.) As for this "hunting" business, I'll say I could see how to arrive at the answer once I saw the solution spelled out, but you're telling me that somebody sat down and pieced all this together? With no hints? I'm no intellectual slouch, but I doubt I would have had the patience to figure that out. As your Jeff Barrett would put it, I "can't figure out what the f— all this s— is." (And isn't ''that'' colorful language? I don't think I would have chosen to swear right there, but that's just me. I'm also clearly rambling.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:06, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::::::I am neither a hacker nor a cracker. I have personally made fun of many hackers though ;) As for Mystery Hunt, you get used to it. The Strong Bad one was solved pretty quickly if I remember -- I was working on a different puzzle at the time. There are standard procedures you learn to get through puzzles (not that standard procedures work all of the time!). {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 02:45, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== I have a big query. ==

Hey AtHC, How do people become Administrators? I've been thinking about that... -Kinsey

:I don't want to presume to speak for Aurora, but I've written at length about this very subject on [[User_talk:Balmung of Azure Sky#Welcome|this page]], if that helps. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:42, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::''Here is the relevant text from that page:''<blockquote>Becoming an admin, as they're also called, is a good goal to have, but it doesn't happen overnight. Basically, you start out at the bottom of the totem pole, and work your way up. Over time, people will begin to notice your edits; you'll want to make good ones. If you do, gradually a sense of trust will develop between you and the wiki community. In the meantime, fight [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|trolls]], add good [[stuff|fun facts]], [[Special:Recentchanges|monitor]] pages for bad edits, help out with the maintenance of the site, learn the ins and outs of the software. Undertake a worthwhile project (but ... it's best to get approval before doing so). Then, sometime in the future, the current admins will open the floor for nominations for new sysops, at which time another user can throw your name in the ring. Then, we'll all vote on you. They probably won't nominate new admins for a while, and when they do, maybe you'll be nominated, maybe not. Either way, keep on keepin' on making good edits and building up that trust. It's just that simple!</blockquote>

::I'm glad you posted that, It's dot com, because it's a good explanation! Definately monitor for edits, learn to recognize good and poor edits, and always be diplomatic in discussions. Undertaking worthwhile projects (with wiki-approval first) is a great way to contribute and be noticed. To all of this, I would add that you should think about why you want to become an administrator. If you want to be an administrator to have more power, that's the wrong reason. It's about responsibility, not power, and it sometimes involves doing unpleasant things. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:46, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Name ==
Dear Amanda, 
I noticed [[#the right STUFF|over a month ago]] (when I checked out some of the other pages on your server) that you had a different (i.e. real) name, but you never commented on it so I didn't press it. Why the sudden switch? Just curious. (Amanda is a very lovely name. It will be hard, though, to get out of the habit of typing "reply for Aurora".) Is this why you recently started going by "Homestar Coder" in your sig? 
Sincerely, 
[[User:It's dot com|Ben]]

:Aurora Szalinski was my internet persona name for years, and I've just grown tired of it. I kept using it because it was convenient; "Aurora Szalinski" is NEVER taken as a username, and I had some pride in having a unique username that nobody else on the Internet has ever used (at least according to Google). But I prefer my real name to Aurora and I don't like that people tend to associate my Internet name with a stupid fairytale princess. I've decided to switch over from my old pseudonym, and that is indeed why I changed my sig. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:18, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Addendum: I'm not going to be all uptight about people calling me Aurora though. Aurora is still okay. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:22, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Whenever I hear the name "Amanda", I think of that classic [http://www.snpp.com/guides/moe_calls.html Simpsons line]. That's why it's one of my all-time favorite names. — [[User:It's dot com|Ben... it's ''Dot com'']]

:::Gee... thanks. ;) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:54, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::Er, no offense meant. Just a funny coincidence. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:58, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::No offense taken. I've certainly heard that before, and I'm hard to offend. I'm just amused that you like a name because of a prank call on The Simpsons. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 17:06, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::::Good. I didn't ''think'' you took it wrong, but on something as personal as a name, it doesn't hurt to be sure. As for ''The Simpsons'', suffice it to say that it was my main source of references until H*R came along. (Well, that and ''Seinfeld''.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:47, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::::I think that The Simpsons is severely overrated, personally. I love cartoons; I have a hobby of learning animation history, and you can find me over on [http://www.toonzone.net Toonzone] a lot. I prefer both Family Guy and Futurama, but Venture Brothers owns them all. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:15, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::::::I don't know if it makes any difference, but I should have said "''Simpsons'' from ten years ago." I can't stand the new stuff. I also haven't made up my mind up the new ''Family Guy'' season, but the original three seasons just ''kill'' me. I have to quote this, because I'm literally laughing right now just thinking about it:<blockquote>'''Peter:''' Hey, is the Count a vampire? '''Brian:''' What's that? '''Peter:''' Well he's got these big fangs. Have they ever shown him doin' somebody in and then feedin' on em? '''Brian:''' You're, you're asking me if they've ever done a ''Seseme Street'' in which the Count kills somebody and then sucks their blood for sustenance? '''Peter:''' Yeah. '''Brian:''' No, they've never done that.</blockquote>

:::::::::Hahaha, great stuff. I like: <blockquote>'''Peter:''' Brian, there's a message in my Alpha Bits! It says, "oooooo!" '''Brian:''' Peter, those are Cheerios.</blockquote> {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 20:46, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== talktobedeleted ==

Hi there Homestar Coder. When you made the [[Template:talktobedeleted|talktobedeleted template]], was your intention what is described on the [[:Category:To be deleted]] page?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:09, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Nope. The idea was a template that can go on the talk page of an ''article'' which is going to be deleted, so people know what the conversation is about... The intention stated on "Category: To be deleted" is also valid, but I would have reworded the template more (talktobedeleted says "This article is pending deletion...). Should I create a new one that says "This talk page is pending deletion", or what? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 03:40, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, that's what I figured. No, I don't really think we need a seperate template for the deleting of talk pages. I could see where the confusion arose though, since the two templates share the category.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:24, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::Did we ever figure out a better wording for the template? I just changed it to "The article this talk page accompanies is currently pending deletion"? It doesn't sound too good, but I wanted to clear that up, along with the instructions on the [[:Category:To be deleted]] page. What do you think?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:06, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::I think the new wording clears it up, but I think we should have another template to use to signal that we are pending deletion on the talk page and not the article. Like when an anonny creates a talk page like, "Home* Runnuw Rulez!"

:::::I think the tobedeleted template works well enough for that. I don't really worry about the link to the Talk:Talk: page.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:34, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Hey Amanda. I wanted to point out that adding <nowiki>{{mprotected}}</nowiki> to an image does not protect non-sysops from editing it. You have to protect it with an admin command.

==Willy on Wheels==

In order to properly block this troll (when he's not using a user name, he's recognizable by his IP number: his always begins "65.167.69") you have to block the whole range; he's been known to switch IP addresses on a whim should one get blocked. In order to do this, block the range as "65.167.69.0/24". Of course, I'm || this close to putting a permanent ban on the range, but I fear that such an action would block many totally legit users. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:39, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I had no idea that that was Willy on Wheels. Doesn't he usually move pages rather than creating crap pages? Thanks for the notice though. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:46, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::I thought I'd be cool and try and patrol them all, but there's just to many of them. w00t, Homestar Coder.
:::::[[User:BazookaJoe|Joe]] tought me this trick when patrolling edits: it's better to open a whole bunch with tabs in Firefox (or any other tabbed browser), and patrol from there. <s>I can get through a good 30 in three or four minutes.</s> I suggest patrolling your edits, as it makes Recent Changes easier on the eyes for all of us. :) {{User:FireBird/sig}} 23:31, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

You just asked where that 'Powered By The Cheat' screenshot is from. I think it's from [[crazy cartoon]]. Behold my skills to gather data quickly. I didn't know how to change it myself, so I dropped you a line. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:I think you're right. And changing image information is quite easy: just click on the image and then on the edit tab. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 22:01, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Well, I figured you could do it quicker and make it look all uniform with all the other ones you've been doing faster than I could. (Of course, you'd be hard-pressed to do anything fast if I keep sending you comments...) Anyways, good luck. And if you need more image sources found in a hurry, keep me in mind. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Hey they, Coder. First of all, I must admit I bit your style once before by basically copying your signature template and working out my own version (I wanted a color other than blue). Thank you kindly for your unwitting munificence. Now, to more pressing matters: this morning I saw what appears to be a little monkey-thing waving madly next to your signature. Now, I don't claim any domain over monkey-related things, but I am the smoking monkey and...well, D 'n' D Greg put it best! But seriously, cool little monkey-thing. I promise I won't serreptitiously copy that and use it for my own! ^_^ — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:56, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
