You nearly doubled the size of that article. (Great! Unfortunately the "Others" section is rather unwieldy and is in dire need of further organization.) Still, that didn't necessarily make it a stub. A stub is an article that is so bare bones that it can't be considered encyclopedic yet. The stub template is supposed to be a cue to the reader that the current content is basically a placeholder. Once there's some real meat to the article, it loses its stub status, even if it can still be expanded quite a bit. Likewise very short articles that ''can't'' be expanded because there's nothing else to add are not stubs. They're just short. I did a random sampling of the articles currently in the stub category and noticed that most of them are probably not stubs. Also, edit summaries of articles are in general a poor place to make editorial comments directed at specific users.

Revision as of 05:16, 22 September 2016
bit o help there?Sup Gfdgsgxgzgdrc, Im here to give you a couple pointers on a few things. 3. Show Preview: I've that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I'd like to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right, or checking to se if the above templates exist. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded.
Outdated ConversationsHey Gfdgsgxgzgdrc; just thought you should know that it is generally advised not to reply to conversations that are more than a couple months old unless you have an argument of some kind to bring up. People are on the ball around here, and things are generally taken care of pretty quickly. basically, pay more attention to the timestamps. if there isn't one, look around the talk post for others that are logically nearby. If the talk post was added in 2006, the discussion is probably dead by now. Also, if you want to put something on the talk page of a user who hasn't been here in a while, on the left side of the screen, right under the search box is a "toolbox" menu. you can click on "User contributions" in that menu and see how long ago the most recent date was. If they haven't been here in a couple years, maybe refrain from putting anything on their talk page. These are just basic guidelines to follow to keep the wiki running more smoothly.

April Fools'Regarding your recent edit to the Main talk page, it's not as bad of an idea imo as the follow-up edit would suggest. The problem with your idea this time is the fact that you suggested it in the first place. If you spend much time on the forum, it's just like proposed Halloween costumes: suggesting one practically eliminates any chance of it ever being used on the site. It removes the element of surprise. Additionally, as far as i'm aware, the bureaucrats aren't really looking for suggestions, and even if they were, they would not want the suggestions to be publicly announced for the same reason. However, if you believe that it is a great April Fools' Day prank, you are more than welcome to replace your user page with it when the time comes.

You wouldn't say "Strong Bad's Computer Exceeding It Is Technical Specifications", would you? --Jay (Talk) 02:23, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Homsar WikiHey Gfdgsgxgzgdrc, I noticed that picture you have of Homsar. It's really funny. I was bored and decided to make an improved one for you, but you don't have to use it though. Hope you like it! Tenerence Love 22:54, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
Main Page 15How was the Main Page 15 picture without the button effects better? The other main page pictures have buttons turned on. --Fangoriously 12:34, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
fish i lenzI fixed the Fish Eye Lens subtitles some time ago and found out today that it was you that broke it. The Gfdgsgxgzgdrc. is GROUNDED. - Catjaz63 22:34, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
Edit SummariesHi Gfdgsgxgzgdrc, I wanted to drop a reminder about edit summaries. I wish I had noticed this sooner but almost none of your contributions have any edit summaries. Edit Summaries help other editors know at a glance what it is that your edits are changing. So please don't neglect edit summaries and let the community know what it is that you're working on. Thanks and keep on tranglin'. --Stux 19:00, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
Main Page 26 subtitlesWhy does Main Page 26 have subtitles? the amount of frames you're listing isn't even on the page for me and none of the buttons use the Flash frames. Is it just me? - Catjaz63 13:52, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
Meat and Cheese SubsYou gonna finish those subtitles? - Catjaz63 00:05, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
I'm honored, but......is it really important enough to redirect "Purple Wrench" to Hremail 62? Are users searching for it a lot? I mean, I guess Homestar Dinoland does redirect there too... -- ■■ PURPLE WRENCH ■■00:29, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Nope. Thanks! Mml554 talk Sorry to bother you, but can you make the picture a link to my talk page?
