We get off tomorrow for Veteran's Day. 2: They do get too claimed fast. That's prolly because there's prolly like *estimated guess*100 peopleses trying to go for it at once.

| - | ::::::::::No, what I mean is a way for people to realise when a pageinprogress is invalidated. It can be very frustrating to have to check page history, count 15 minutes, take down the pip, then cause an edit conflict because the guy wasn't ''regularly'' saving, and he's mad because 30 minutes haven't passed. Perhaps saying "save after 20 minutes" instead of "try to save every 15-30 minutes" would help? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 02:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
| |
| - | :::::::::::The instruction to save every 15 to 30 minutes is a friendly reminder, not a strict timer. At 30 minutes plus 1 second, we're not gonna yank the template off the page and declare the transcript open for anyone else to claim. On the other hand, after an hour with no update, we just might. Or we might not. It depends on the page, the time of day, and other factors. The template is intended to prevent edit conflicts, and that's all. Other editors are requested not to edit a particular section as a courtesy. The person doing the major editing should likewise extend other editors the courtesy of letting them know work is still being done. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:37, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

| - | Okay, this is getting ''really'' annoying. When I say that "it was never listed in the contest rules", I refer to the actual, very real contest- not the ''Homestar's'' contest, I mean TBC's contest, the one that showed up on the main page, the one ''Homestar is '''supposed''' to be judging.'' I am not explaining the joke; I am trying to note that the "no paint" rule was never specified in the contest details, and Homestar acts as if it were. '''PLEASE STOP UNDOING MY STUFF WITHOUT READING IT. I WORDED IT POORLY, I ''AM TRYING TO FIX IT.''''' Okay, we clear on that? Good. Now, are there any non-"It's explaining the joke" objections? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 23:17, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | :It's still explaining the joke. Even if you phrased a remark something like "The official rules did not mention no paint daubs" it wouldn't be notable, since it is implicit in a pumpkin '''carving''' contest that it is not, in fact, a pumpkin '''painting''' contest. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:21, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | ::The equivalent would be "Strong Bad said that The Ugly One costume didn't count, but the rules didn't explicitly say that you couldn't draw a picture on a giant box and put the box over your head." I say it's non-notable. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:40, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | :::I think it *is* notable. Why? Because, not having read the official rules as I had no intention of entering, I came to the wiki page after watching this toon with the *explicit* intention of finding out whether that was actually mentioned in the rules, or whether Homestar was just being Homestar. I think it's definitely worthwhile to mention it; "No paint on your pumpkins" is something that *would* actually appear in a pumpkin carving contest's rules; conversely, "no costumes composed of a sheet of paper with a drawing of a stick figure on it" is *not* something you would expect to see in a costume contest's rules, and I doubt anyone is going to actually look to see whether it was there or not. The wiki exists as a source of information for fans, does it not? If any information is useful, should it not be included, when, as in this case, it is of interest and not inherently obvious?

| - | In [[rock opera]], SB goes into the song by saying, "let's get this train wreck a-rollin'!" Homestar similarly leads into the punkin presentation with "let's get this style train a-rollin'!" Is Homestar's line referencing SB's, or is this just a coincidence/more common phrase than I thought? --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 21:41, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
