Image edits

Heylo, MichaelXX2. Good jorb on touching up those pictures! :-) Just make sure you're not going overboard. For example, here, the "strange smudge thing" was actually his armpit, and here, the "blue speck" was actually a bit of the sky. ;-) Loafing 08:15, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I knew it was a bit of the sky here, but I thought it looked rather strange and out-of-place. — MichaelXX2 17:03, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

i agree, out of place. it doesn't really fit. Homsarstrongbad150 15:01, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Awake or asleep userbox

Hi, MichaelXX2! The userbox that you got from my user page is still set to have the sleep/wake times of 6am and 9pm Pacific Standard/Daylight Time. So, you might want to replace the in the userbox with a city from here that's the closest to Ruston. Happy New Year! — fuchsiania 17:46, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh, thanks! Probably Monroe or Shreveport will do. — MichaelXX2 19:42, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Strong Bad DVD pictures

Sorry if this makes it sound like your work was all for naught, but can you please re-upload those pictures so they show the front covers? And the articles for Discs 1-3 can finally match those of Discs 4-6? BBG 03:44, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Done. — MichaelXX2 23:01, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Policing again

You've been asked before not to police. I'm going to extend that to include reverting sysops who are themselves enforcing the rules. Please don't do it again. — Defender1031*Talk 07:35, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Dot com has reverted users who have reverted their own talk page before, Danny. — MichaelXX2 08:21, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I fail to see how this is relevant, MichaelXX2. You have been warned not to police the wiki because it is something that you get wrong too often. And here, you got it wrong again. Even reverting a perfectly good edit by a sysop. As the link to your talk page archive shows, you have even been warned that you might be blocked. I have to tell you that this is not an empty threat. Please stop policing the wiki or you will be blocked from editing. Policing the wiki includes for example telling other users that they did something wrong or even warning them, and reverting any edit by another user. Loafing 08:36, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I meant Dot com has reverted a sysop in the past who has reverted a person who vandalized/spammed their own talk page before. I was going for that edit. No offense, but I feel like I'm getting a nail driven through my head. — MichaelXX2 08:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

At least I'm not going crazy and swearing and saying I'm not doing anything wrong and stuff. I'll try to set boundaries for policing just as a dog would to an invisible electric fence. — MichaelXX2 09:00, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Not that it changes much, but I am curious to know when and where this edit of Dot com's is. Would you be able to provide a link to the diff you're referring to? — Defender1031*Talk 09:03, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm looking for it. — MichaelXX2 09:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

We don't seem to be getting through to you, so I'm going to give you a few weeks to think about it. Hopefully you can see that we're serious about your not policing the wiki. — It's dot com 16:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

if i'm hearing you correctly, and i think that i am, mike's banned again. see, mike, told you. they're too strict 'round here. Homsarstrongbad150 14:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

First of all, they didn't make up some dumb thing to ban me about. They had a good reason. I was telling other users that they did something wrong, but I wasn't putting it in correct terms. They had all the reason in the world to block me for that time and I don't have any complaints. Try to understand your uppers, Homsarstrongbad150. — MichaelXX2 21:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad you understand why you were blocked. But it appears you're still not getting it: This is also policing. Since it doesn't seem to be sinking in, I'm going to put it in bold: do not attempt to enforce policy. Ask a sysop to help if you really must. If you continue, I think it's fair to say you're going to get blocked again. Take this as a warning. Heimstern Läufer 05:42, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

OK

Okay. I'll stop. But what's wrong with them? Ahhhlehhh 03:56, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

It's not exactly necessary to have every little movement like that (given how unorganized it is) monitored. We need to have what they say, not what exactly happens. Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams, — MichaelXX2 03:58, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Michael, thanks for the help on my question. Ever since I joined the site, I have been repeatedly amazed on how quickly things are accomplished here. Thanks again, keep up the good work! - Opus the Penguin 02:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome! Well, I do my best. I'm sure others have done better. — MichaelXX2 02:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Not that i've seen. I've never posted a question and had a video tutorial on youtube about it within the hour. And about the subject, that wasn't exactly what I meant, but it was a really good idea! I think I might do it while i'm waiting around for It's Dot Com to design a blockquote class, if he does it at all. - Opus the Penguin 02:32, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Something tells me that it might be a while. Maybe in the year 3970, if we're lucky. :D — MichaelXX2 02:33, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

White backgrounds.

Hey Michael, what was the program you used to whiten the background in the Twelve Times a Day Man image? Was it just MS Paint? - Opus the Penguin 03:11, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it was Paint. Why? — MichaelXX2 11:52, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Just wondering. I've tried doing that before, but I always end up screwing up the outline. Any tips? - Opus the Penguin 02:09, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

It mostly depends on the image you're doing it on. Works with some, screws up others. — MichaelXX2 21:25, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Regarding this edit

Yes, i can. The resolution is different on different monitors and it doesn't stretch or shrink to fit anymore. — Defender1031*Talk 00:55, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Response

In response to this edit, no i did not. I purposely did not use subst. Please, please, PLEASE, stop policing the wiki. This includes modifying other users' posts when you think they should be modified. I posted the way i did for a reason, and i didn't need you to come along and "fix" it for me. — Defender1031*Talk 23:29, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Image Summaries

Hey there, i wasn't sure if you were aware, but the first time an image is uploaded, the upload summary becomes the text on the image page, so when uploading new images, you may want to write a better description than things like "An image. You'll see its use.". I personally usually write something like "description of picture with [[necessary things linked]], from [[name of toon]]". It's descriptive and looks a lot nicer. — Defender1031*Talk 21:53, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, okay. I'm very busy working on a page. I'll take your advice. — MichaelXX2 21:54, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU

Thank you for making my contrast-button comparison between some kinda robot and homsar not too big!! --Fangoriously 03:58, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Cropping is my thing. — MichaelXX2 11:54, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Sig Color Change

Hey man. I'm comin to you for a sig change this time. Well, Not really a sig change just a sig color change. Anyway, I would like my username in my sig to be valentines colored (including the talk/contribs thing) You don't have to change the record player that's fine. Can you do that? Much appreciated!-Record307 ^Talk/_Contribs 18:47, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

So, red and light red then? — MichaelXX2 21:28, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Exactly! Thanks!-Record307 ^Talk/_Contribs 22:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

You can change it back. Thanks again for the color change!-Record307 ^Talk/_Contribs 19:39, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Introduction

Re: this You said in your edit summary "rv/v," but what you edit on the introduction page isn't vandalism unless it's insulting or provocative. It's a test page, similar to the Sandbox. —Guard Duck ^talk 00:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I just figured that out as I reverted it. Weird. — MichaelXX2 00:35, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
