Don't sell yourself short

Hi there. I'm the user that discovered the hidden alternate Strong Bad drawings in the YouTube version of That Time of Year. I don't blame you for making a mistake like that, especially if it's your first contribution. I've made tons of mistakes here on the Wiki. Some of them are exactly like that. Some have actually been much worse. Everyone here makes mistakes, even (one might say especially) the users who improve the Wiki the most. As long as the mistakes are not of bad intent and are reversible, they are... well... reversible. So I'm glad you realized your mistake, but now it's been fixed, so you can move on and make some constructive edits.

Also, it appears no one personally welcomed you to the Wiki, so consider this an unofficial welcome too! -- ■■   PURPLE  WRENCH   ■■ 22:34, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to the wiki

When you sign up for an account, a bot comes around and gives you some helpful information at the top of your talk page. You should read it; it may have answers to questions you might have about how to get in the swing of things. Thanks for your willingness to help! The Knights Who Say Ni 04:53, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Be bold, but know when not to be

Hey, thanks for your enthusiasm to help out. I just wanted to let you know that moving pages is generally not done until there is an established consensus to do so. Already, you've moved two pages without much discussion (one of those was without any discussion at all) which is generally discouraged by our standards on the topic. My main issue with moving Dangeresque 4 is that most computer keyboards don't come with a ÷ key, which would make that page less accessible. As for the Store, you started the discussion correctly, but then you went ahead and moved the page with no one other than yourself expressing any favorable interest towards that move (unless I'm misinterpreting what Purple Wrench said). Even you said that "it's one of the ... most important parts of the Homestar Runner website and system". This directly means that it's important for our wiki, and as such, we've been covering it since the days of ye olde wiki, so without a fairly large agreement, it probably should have been left alone until such time that we had such an agreement. So, keep up the good work editing. The Knights Who Say Ni 20:19, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Bah. I always come up shy and then go on power trips. Shows how much of a terrible person I am. But yeah, sorry about the moving stuff a bit too much. I can agree that I'm a bit bolder than I should be sometimes and often get myself in trouble. This is sadly not the first instance of occurring.:( - Catjaz63 20:27, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

"Explore"

When I saw that you said "I explore you", I did a double-take and had to check to make sure there was no second definition for the word "explore". It turns out there isn't.
Saying "I explore you" literally means you are looking over someone and discovering them. Which could be taken out of context in a matter of seconds.
You had the right idea, though; the correct word is "implore". That's right -- despite the subtle distinction between "explode" and "implode", the meaning in this case is totally different.

Unless... were you making a reference to Halloween Safety, implying that you were going back to creepin' and peepin' 'round Anonny's neighborhood? ...Because if you were, that's really clever. -- ■■   PURPLE  WRENCH   ■■ 12:57, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

I was typing implore! I'm not sure why I typed "I explore you". I guess being up at 7 AM gets your all up ons bad spellings. - Catjaz63 20:16, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
