Page problems

Yeah, this page conflicts with Rejects. And it just generally isn't done well. Some of these things were just made up and aren't linked to from any toons. I justed deleted a page that was created for "Canteloupe" (spelled incorrectly), even though we already have a page for Doreauxgard. Any ideas? -- Tom 16:54, 12 Nov 2004 (MST)

See my comments on Rejects. I think something either IS or IS NOT. Meaning we get rid of rejects entirely, and categorize things by what they are, independent of how many times they appear. - [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] 14:08, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)

Computers

Does anyone else see a problem with adding Slightly Shotgunned Compy and Old Tandy? They're not seperate computers, just later ones. Why not just list Slightly Shotgunned Compy as what it is, a toon. Then just put a pic of it and a bit of history on the Compy 386 page, where it belongs. You may as well list Puppet Stuff computers as seperate computers as well under that criteria. Okay I'm done. Anyone second the motion? Thunderbird 11:37, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

Items Standards

Anyone feel that this page needs some kinda standard? Perhaps like further items will only be allowed when used multiple times, such as the BMW Lighter, ect, or unless it's part of a definite set, such as the radios? Thunderbird 12:30, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

I like the "multiple times" standard, as well as perhaps a standard that it must interact with the characters in some notable way at least once (so no stuff like Strong Bad's stool or the smoke detector). Aurora the Homestar Coder 20:09, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
I've noticed some stuff has been deleted which I don't think should have been deleted necessarily (like Staple Sauce and Coach Z Ale). At the very least, it's inconsistent. Here's the list of items which do not fit the three times rule: Block, Box Computer, Strong Sad's Tape Player, Strong Sad's iPod, Ray-Jo, Old-Timey Radio, ATM, Home Movie Camera, Homestar's Clock, Grabbo Arm, Marzipan's Ukelele, Bubs' keytar, Gross Old Wig, Captain's Hat, Homestar's Slippers, Homestar's Daisy Dukes, Tragic Clown Dog Costume, The Blue Ones, Fluffy Puff Air Puffed Sugar Delights, Fluffy Puff Malloweens, Fluffy Puff Bite-Size Nibblers, Schenectady Crispies, Cheat Commandos O's Cereal, Piemonade, Homestar Jr., Decemberween Food, Bubs' Old Pizza, Ice Cream, Strong Bad's EGGS, Teddy Grahams, Suge Brown, Super Mud, Limozeen: but they're in space, Whaddya Know Haddi-Man, Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum, Caleb Rentpayer, all of the magazines, Edgarware, The Virus, Edga Jr., Strong Bad's Drill, Grout Clean'r, Space Machine, Wood-davers, Yella Paint.
I'm in no way suggesting that we delete all of these things, but we're in desparate need of a standard. It's seriously arbitrary to delete Staple Sauce and not, say, Suge Brown and Super Mud. Homestar Coderhomestar-coder-sig.gif 01:34, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)
Since the images weren't gone, I just put 'em in the list. What can it hurt? If the Space Machine can be there, so can those. — It's dot com 01:51, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)
Exactly! What can it hurt? Therefore I propose that Staple Sauce and Coach Z Ale be brought back. Also, Space Machine was on my list. Homestar Coderhomestar-coder-sig.gif 04:42, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Clean-up

For clean-up on this page, I was thinking to do the same thing we did for the Characters page. Like the galleries and stuff. Is that okay?--minibaseball.png Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 00:05, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I like that idea. It's like if you were shopping: would you want to buy any of this stuff without seeing it first? Th' gallery is also good if you know how the item looks but can't remember specifically what it's called. --DorianGray
I already did it to the computers part. How does it look?--minibaseball.png Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 00:16, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
I like it. I think it'll come out fine. Good luck witchyaself. --DorianGray

When I'm back from school, I'll start standardizing the images just like in the characters page. I like doing that :) Elcool (talk)(contribs) 03:58, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Is there anything else that needs to be done here?--minibaseball.png Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 01:46, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Do we know that the grabbo arm is electronic? How and why?

It has lights on it that light up when you squeeze the trigger. It has at least some electronics in it, I think. --DorianGray
