Rename plan of action
So... what should we do? Move everything here and make retirement, retirement A and retirement B redirects? With appropriate mentions in Trivia, of course? --phlip TC 07:35, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- That would make sense to me. I wasn't sure what to do when I started the page, so I left it out there to see what would happen. - Jason
- I'm for keeping the old ones, myself. Especially if the Flash files are still there (the html files aren't, but I haven't checked the Flash yet.) --Jay (Gobble) 08:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ooookay, so they're not there any more. Still, I'm for keeping the old ones, but if consensus is to remove them, then fine. I won't be happy about it, but it won't be the first time. --Jay (Gobble) 08:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- There are quite a few changes between the old ones and the new ones, keeping the old pages wouldn't be a bad idea. Esspecially if the old flash files are archived somewhere. - Jason
- I guess that makes sense. I'm still for making retirement a redirect rather than a disambig, and then put {{about}} and {{for}} at the top of the page. --phlip TC 08:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- As long as the changes between the originals and the new combined one are well documented I'll be happy either way. But I'd be slightly happier w/ keeping the old pages. Atw4299 09:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm guessing the (combined) will disappear in a week or so. Because it won't make sense to future new viewers as is. But anyway, we definitely shouldn't have a duplicate transcript like this.I think we shoud all merge them here, and put something in trivia and maybe post the mirrors in the external links. - Joshua 13:32, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'll bet you one million lbs of candy that ultimately the name on the Denny's menu will just be retirement, which is where this article should probably be. And I don't think we should maintain separate pages of nearly-identical information, as it violates the once-and-only-once rule. The other pages should be redirects, with the differences from previous versions explained somewhere. Oh, and I totally called this. — It's dot com 14:01, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- My counterargument comes in the form of five words: Teen Girl Squad Issue 1. That is all. --Jay (Gobble) 16:31, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- My argument comes in two words: crazy cartoon. The flash files for A and B are not even on the site anymore which is why I think they should be deleted. -Jeppo (TLC) 16:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- As Denny's lists this as "retirement (combined)", and the two halves no longer exist, my vote is to 1) drop our grapes, 2) check to be sure no info has been forgotten on the A and B pages, 3) delete retirments A and B and possibly the retirment disambig page, and 4) unmask that Cheat. The links to the mirrored half-emails can be linked from here. - Qermaq - (T/C)

Process has begun. We need to go through the incoming links to the A and B page to be sure everything's fixed right. This'll take a little time or a few people working together. Oh, and we need to leave the subtitle transcripts alone, so the mirrors can use them. - Qermaq - (T/C)

- I question the need to physically delete retirement A and B. They don't hurt anything as redirects, and the history can always be viewed to see how the toons originally existed seperately. Just like we don't delete older revisions of any page, retirement A and B are older revisions of this page, which was mostly copied and pasted. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 21:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Can I Get A Reference?
Am I right in thinking that when Strong Bad says "Can I get a witness?", it's a reference to Some Kind of Wonderful by Grand Funk Railroad? I know TBC probably don't listen to that kind of stuff, but the quote jumped out at me as that song lyric. What do you guys think? -Brightstar Shiner 20:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Or "Can I Get A Witness" by Marvin Gaye, or "Can I Get A Witness?" by Run-DMC, or... See also this page... it's a common phrase. This was also already discussed. --phlip TC 21:16, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
