== Question... ==

Excuse, me I have just started an official account. How can I get clearance to edit a semi-protected article? Do I have to wait a few days, I've already done 10 edits.--[[User:Spare-tire|Spare-tire]] ([[User talk:Spare-tire|talk]]) 21:55, December 1, 2013 (EST)
:You have to wait a set number of days after making a certain number of edits.

== Spam users ==

You know the users that keep registering and put really strange/in-depth personal information on their user pages? I have reasons to believe they are spammers. Surely no-one would reveal such personal info on a wiki, one user page I came across posted an in-depth address. What do you think? ~ [[User:Phinbart|'''Phinbart''']] ([[User talk:Phinbart|'''talk''']] • [[Special:Contributions/Phinbart|'''contribs''']]) ''' 11:48, December 7, 2013 (EST)
:They're spammers, all right. We've been blocking them and deleting the pages if they post anything with an off-the-wall link in it. If you come across one posting PII such as a street address, go ahead and slap a Speedy Delete tag on it and it'll get the same treatment. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 12:08, December 7, 2013 (EST)
::Yep. Spammers. Unfortunately, there's no way to permanently stop these unless they release their regex accidentally. <big><big>[[User:Solar Dragon|The Solar Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar Dragon|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]])</big></big> 14:10, December 7, 2013 (EST)
:I just had a thought related to our spammer asshole. It looks the user count under the wiki stats includes EVERYTHING. Is there any of fine-tuning that count so that we don't have the spam-hole inflating the numbers? If that count could be tweaked to exclude blocked accounts and those that have never made a contribution, that should eliminate all of the spam accounts, and hopefully give the spam-hole one less incentive for continuing with his crap. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 14:50, December 15, 2013 (EST)
::Tried to limit it to autoconfirmed but the code doesn't work for some reason so I emailed Jake.

== Old Money ==

Again, hello, how are you? Watch that episode and Grampa is at [[Nighthawk Diner]]. [[Special:Contributions/24.141.5.202|24.141.5.202]] 12:39, December 8, 2013 (EST)
:Nope. Grampa was at a parody of the painting ''{{W|Nighthawks}}''. It's a different parody of the same painting. <big><big>[[User:Solar Dragon|The Solar Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar Dragon|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]])</big></big> 12:41, December 8, 2013 (EST)
::What does "a parody" mean? Are you saying Rex Banner is at different diner that also a reference to ''Nighthawks'' or because Grampa is just a short visual gag as opposed to the entire scene with Rex, Eddie, Lou and then Barney makes it different? Again, how is it a different diner in "[[Old Money]]" then having the exact same diner be shown again in "[[Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment]]"? In ''The Simpsons'' universe there's a diner that we've at least twice which is a reference to Nighthawks painting, that those references are for the "Behind the Laughter" section, but the article is suppose to written a real place to ''The Simpsons'' and Grampa and Rex Banner are at the same place and Springfield has two diners that look the same even down the building across the street? [[Special:Contributions/24.141.5.202|24.141.5.202]] 12:47, December 8, 2013 (EST)
:::1) Please do not change talk page comments after posting them. It makes conversations confusing. 2) After finally loading up the episode and finding the scene, which took a lot longer than it should have, I played "spot the difference" with the two. The main difference is that there are seats by the windows in the later episode and not "Old Money". However, I have added it to the article. [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 13:13, December 8, 2013 (EST)
::::Well, the Simpsons house changes all the time (mostly for the need of a gag which is also what happened since Rex Banner has to be at the window to sham it and grab Barney), but it doesn't make it a different house. To be fair, you didn't add it, I did. You toke it away comrade ;) I get you had to take the time to look at the episode, but couldn't you have just done that first before removing it and arguing against it. Anyhow, thanks for double checking. [[Special:Contributions/24.141.5.202|24.141.5.202]] 13:29, December 8, 2013 (EST)
:::::Yeah, as I've said before, and other users have too, IPs are generally treated worse than logged in users. They usually have their edits rollbacked first, questions asked later.

== Spam accounts ==

I have reasons to believe all the red-link accounts registered this past half-day are spam accounts: one, they probably would have made edits by now. Two, I recognize some of the names (well, one, to be honest) I believe something needs to be put in place (a few Simpsons questions, for example), when someone registers an account. ~ [[User:Phinbart|'''Phinbart''']] ([[User talk:Phinbart|'''talk''']] • [[Special:Contributions/Phinbart|'''contribs''']]) ''' 08:12, December 28, 2013 (EST)

::::I know this sounds VERY cruel, but what about automatically blocking/deleting accounts that had not made an edit in the past 12-24 hours since its registration. Some spam accounts don't edit for a few days after their registration, some maybe a few minutes after. This could wipe out and prevent a lot of spam.

==Re:A couple of things==
I doubt that I'll be around for long. I'm just starting a page that has been on my mind for a while. As for tables, I won't lie, I'm not going to use that template. The version I'm using now is slightly more complex, and templates usually don't work out with that kind of thing. Isn't it possible to simply re-jig the default settings for wikitables, then you can do away with the templates? -- [[User:Brian McClure|Brian McClure]] ([[User talk:Brian McClure|talk]]) 14:44, January 8, 2014 (EST)

Other administrators should not go about unblocking users blocked by others unless the admin has turned rogue, which they have not.

== Leopold's name ==

In Whacking day Chalmers mentions giving the Assistant Superintendent position to someone called Holloway, this was only a short while before Leopold was introduced and also Skinner's description of Holloway sounds like Leopold, so I think Holloway is his surname, what do you think? [[User:Bleedinggumsmurphy1|Bleedinggumsmurphy1]] ([[User talk:Bleedinggumsmurphy1|talk]]) 16:54, March 16, 2014 (EDT)
:We can't make assumptions like that. He wasn't seen on screen and it wasn't specifically stated to be him. For all we know, there could be more than one assistant superintendent or there could have been another one before Leopold.

== Hey, It's Been a While! ==

Sorry for my inactivity. I just had different interests. I've recently regained an interest in The Simpsons, albeit only for Season 1, the Ullman shorts, and the Treehouse of Horror specials. Just my opinion, though. How are you doing? [[User:Gazlene the Pork Girl|Gazlene the Pork Girl]] ([[User talk:Gazlene the Pork Girl|talk]]) 13:35, March 20, 2014 (EDT)

::So what I was doing in my spare time during my inactivity was archiving Nintendo's official sites, specifically GameCube, DS, and Game Boy Advance ones (Nintendo of Europe is where most are). I also archived some sites on Angelfire, Geocities' hosts, etc. and artificially revived some web pages that lacked images on archive.org. I also worked on downloading webpages from the Wayback Machine and making all of those web pages of a specific site link to one another. I'm also glad to talk to you again. I've become a big archivist, in simple terms.

Hi Solar! Please, add plot of the couch gag of [[Season 24]] episode, "[[A Tree Grows in Springfield]]" on the article, [[List of couch gags]].

== I sometimes get a "Server is taking too long to respond" message ==

When I try to access the wiki, specifically at nighttime, the wiki will not allow me to. It tells me that the server is not responsive. Do you have any idea as to why this is?

Oh, and check out this 2011 ShoutWiki backup: https://archive.org/details/shoutwiki.com. That should help you regain a lot of lost wikis on ShoutWiki. :) [[User:Gazlene the Pork Girl|Gazlene the Pork Girl]] ([[User talk:Gazlene the Pork Girl|talk]]) 18:14, March 26, 2014 (EDT)

== Some Editing Tips (You Might Know It) ==

My editing tip is to get Simpsons-related facts directly from official sites, merchandise, episodes, etc. The Internet may not always be that reliable. You could also try using an image to source something relevant to it. I would think this technique is useful for revising articles. Once in the "[[Football]]" article a dog was referred to as "[[Santa's Little Helper]]". Maybe to reduce the risk of getting your facts wrong, try watching the episode while you edit rather than relying on your memory. This will make an article more concise.

And, of course, there's the Internet Archive to crawl FOX's old Simpsons sites (and Simpsons Archive). You also could avoid opinionated words like "unfortunately" (use "much to ____'s dismay"), and when you source something about a "maybe" statement, try writing it in a formal way (e.g. start off with "based on common belief", "There has been a debate whether ____ or ___ is correct", etc.) Wikipedia does not allow contractions or colloquial language in their articles, as they both are informal. Maybe Simpsons Wiki should follow this example.

Some stuff might be a little unclear, but hopefully you should understand what I am saying. :) [[User:Gazlene the Pork Girl|Gazlene the Pork Girl]] ([[User talk:Gazlene the Pork Girl|talk]]) 20:33, March 27, 2014 (EDT)
:The only articles I create are those of episodes I have just watched recently and still have on my screen, or I watched only a few minutes ago so it's still fresh in my mind so I don't make those mistakes. As for the other stuff, it's fine. You can feel free to makes those changes but I don't feel that they're important enough to just stop everything else.

== Thank you. ==

For some reason I can´t comment your answer to my question :"In which chapter a character hallucinates with a backround music that says like oooone or waaand?", so I write you to thank you. I found the episode! It is called "D'oh-in in the wind". And the song is White Rabbit from Jefferson Airplane. Anyway, thank you very much for trying to help me.
