Your recent contributions

The coveted Iron cup
Pure Genius! Cold-hot-fresh!

Hey Dr. Clash, just wanted to say that I've noticed you make a lot of good contributions recently (examples: the work on moving Eh! Steve to Eh! Steve! along with its links, and archiving the Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook entries from 2006). As a result, I hereby award you The Iron cup of Brunswick stew. From HRWiki:Barnstars,

This award, the first on HRWiki, is given to recognize good contributions and to let people know that their hard work is seen and appreciated. It was given to The Cheat by Strong Bad for his good work on New Boots.

Thanks for your hard work! Trey56 04:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I second this! You are off to a way better start than I did. Plus, I would like to comment that your image uploads for The Decemberween Tree and Strong Badathlon (contest) are top notch! Great ideas! (Did you know I started both of those articles, too?) So, keep up the great work, and here's a nice cold glass of Suudsu. --TheYellowDart(t/c) 03:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Reverting

Hi, Dr. Clash. Good work around the wiki. One pointer: when reverting edits, please explain why you've reverted. In this case, for example, 0rion needs to know why you reverted his/her edit. Thanks. Heimstern Läufer 21:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Edit Summary

Hi there, Doc. Great work on fixing all those toon names and all the redirects that fallow. You have a good eye for that think, I noticed. Another thing I noticed was that you not always use an edit summary. The summary is an important tool that help other RC patrolers know what you've done without actually clicking the diff. Edit summaries are especially important on mass-edits, like redirect removing. If you make a summary like "removing redirect", "no redirect" or "fix link" people who patrol almost automatically skip those pages with their eyes and see the other edits so they don't have to click each one. If you have a hard time remembering to add an edit summary, there's an option in your preferences, under Editing, called "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". You are a good contributor and I hope you'll continue to be. Have fun, Elcool (talk)(contribs) 10:05, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I use that profile reminder myself, it is handy. By the way, edit summaries are also really useful when viewing the history of a page's edits. If I'm looking for when a particular change was made, for example, the edit summaries really help to narrow it down. Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 16:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Coffee

Hey Dr. Clash — nice work on Coffee! Trey56 02:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it was kinda bothering me that there was no page about coffee, so I just made it.Took a while, too :P Dr. Clash 02:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Yup, that kind of research—looking up appearances and finding reference links—is time-consuming. Trey56 02:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Ooh, and lots of redirects from misspellings! I could never remember just how many "f"'s and how many "e"'s it is, though my choice of username pretty taught it to me fairly quickly. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 03:46, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Image Copyright Tags

Heylo, Dr. Clash. Please make sure that you tag images with the right copyright tag when you upload them. You can choose a copyright notice from the "licensing" drop-down list during the upload process. For homestarrunner.com screenshots, "web-screenshot" is the appropriate one. If you forgot to tag images while uploading them, you can do it afterwards by editing the description and adding the {{web-screenshot}} template. Keep on trangling! Loafing 23:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I was thinking about that when I say DorianGray tagging all my images. Now, edit summaries and image tagging, that's 2 things I need to remember :P Dr. Clash 23:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes :-) Loafing 23:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Committees

I'm already in recent changes patrol, but I'll probably join the welcoming comittee eventually, once I dispel my laziness and make a welcoming template. Dr. Clash 23:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
