Welcome!

Hello, Nick97, and welcome to Wikisimpsons!

Thank you for taking an interest in our wiki. If you have any troubles, feel free to ask questions on any experienced editors' talk page. Also, you could look at a help page.

Here are a few pages to help out new editors such as yourself:

• Help pages, your first stop if you need any help
• Editing help, in case you have questions on how to properly edit articles
• Policy pages - Failure to abide by these will result in consequences.

Please sign your name on talk pages by using four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Signing your comments is important, as it lets other editors know who has posted which comments.

Again, welcome! The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 07:26, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hi, just giving you a proper welcome, the above is a template we just add to new users. Thanks for your recent contribs, keep up the good work. Nice to see new users around here Doh5678 (talk) 22:34, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

☆The Golden Homer Award☆

The Golden Homer Award Congratulations! For your outstanding service to articles you have been awarded the Golden Homer Award for July 2011!

Would you like to be interviewed?

Would you like to be interviewed for the newsletter? It will go on the Main Page. --Doh5678 (talk) 16:19, 11 August 2011 (EDT)

Sure! Nick97 20:01, 11 August 2011 (EDT)

Everything should be ready now. Go here. Doh5678 (talk) 16:24, 12 August 2011 (EDT)

Moving a page

For future reference, to move a page hover over the arrow next to "view history". It should be the first on the list.--Cook879 06:29, 16 August 2011 (EDT)

Ok, Thanks! --Nick97 09:37, 16 August 2011 (EDT)

RE:Question

For now, make them as they are spelt in the episode, then add a note about it on the page. Then redirect the correct spellings to the typo one (so create "Angus Podgorny's Caper Toss" then create a page called "Angus Podgorny's Caber Toss" with the content "#REDIRECT [[Angus Podgorny's Caper Toss]]".) --Cook879 09:31, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

Talk pages

Hey Nick, great work on the talk pages. Did you notice the boxes at the top when you create the page? The second row is for talk pages and there you will find buttons for Character, Episode, Location, Comic, Crew, Guest Star and Game pages as well as the standard talk page. By clicking on the appropriate button you will add the appropriate project template. Just thought I'd let you know for future reference.--Cook879 09:31, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

Ah, I didn't know those created the project templates. -- Cook879 09:31, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

Editor meeting

If you haven't already seen it in the site notice, there is an editor meeting at 7PM Wikisimpsons time which is 1pm your time. Hope you can make it. --Doh5678 (talk) 11:59, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

Hi, editor meeting is in 5 minutes. Just wondering if you want to join in. Go to here and type #wikisimpsons in the channel, your nick in the nick section and the captcha words and press connect. You don't have to join in but we would like to see you there. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:55, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

Sure, I can be there! -- Nick97 15:01, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

Images

Hi, I see you don't really upload images. A little hint to you, there is a website called IWTSO. It allows you to watch episodes online. What you can do is print screen (Prt Sc button) and paste it into Paint and crop it down and upload. You don't have to do this of course but it would be nice if you could. Thanks, ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 11:04, 13 September 2011 (EDT)

Ok. I didn't actually know how to get the images in the first place. Thanks for the tip! Nick97 18:09, 13 September 2011 (EDT)

Recent edits

Hey Nick97! I've seen your recent edits, and I really like them! Keep it up! Also, to add a bit of sparkle, would you like me to make you a sweet, smart, simple signature? (strange, I didn't even mean to alliterate!) --Will k (Talk ~ Contributions) 02:48, 14 September 2011 (EDT)

Thanks! And sure! Nick97 09:33, 14 September 2011 (EDT)

Here it is!

--Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)}

To use it, place the code on User:Nick97/Signature (or the subpage of your choice; I'll post the code below), then go to your preferences. In the current section (which should be "User profile"), go down to "Signature", and in the given box, type --Nick97 (talk ~ contribs) (or whatever you chose the page as). Save the page, and voila! Next time you type ~~~~, it'll come out with the signature plus a timestamp! Good luck!

P.S. Here's the code: --[[User:Nick97|'''<font color=green>Nick97</font>''']] <sup>([[User talk:Nick97|<font color=blue>'''talk'''</font>]] ~ [[Special:Contributions/Nick97|<font color=red>'''contribs'''</font>]])

--Will k (Talk ~ Contributions) 02:42, 15 September 2011 (EDT)

Sweet, thanks!

(Is it just me, or did all this text get really tiny?) --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 10:05, 15 September 2011 (EDT)

☆The Silver Homer Award☆

The Silver Homer Award Congratulations! For your outstanding service to articles you have been awarded the Silver Homer Award for September 2011!

Feel free to put {{User Silver Homer|Month and Year}} on your user page.--The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 06:38, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

Competition prize

Hi, sorry for the delay but I've ordered your prize now so you should get it at some point in the next few weeks. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 06:38, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

Cool, thanks! I'll look forward to it! --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 21:21, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

IRC

If you happen to still be online, come on IRC! We'll have a jolly good chat ;) --Will k (Talk ~ Contributions) 21:24, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Props to you

Nice work fixing the IP vandal edits. -- Mythigator 01:18, 7 November 2011 (EST)

Lowercasing

As much as you've been making constructive edits, lowercasing the E in Ep is unecessary, and I'm unsure why you're even doing it. --Will (Talk) 01:01, 14 November 2011 (EST)

Ok, I thought they were supposed to be that way. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:37, 14 November 2011 (EST)

TBH, it really doesn't matter, and so in response, I don't know why you're putting them back as Ep :P.--Cook879 12:53, 14 November 2011 (EST)

Well, I prefer lowercase for some reason so that is what I usually go for. Changing them for the sake of changing them (i.e. making an edit to a page just to change them) is stupid. However, if you're editing a page already, feel free to change the case. But yeah, it doesn't matter too much. ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 13:16, 14 November 2011 (EST)

 :P I always saw Solar Dragon always made them lower case when he added appearances, so I figured they were supposed to be that way. Whatever though, no harm done. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:07, 14 November 2011 (EST)

I apologize if my comment came across as rude :P but yeah, no harm done! --Will (Talk) 00:53, 15 November 2011 (EST)

☆The Golden Homer Award☆

The Golden Homer Award Congratulations! For your outstanding service to articles you have been awarded the Golden Homer Award for November 2011!

Location categories

Hi, if a location has only been mentioned in the series, it should only fall under the category Mentioned locations, not One time locations. The One time and Recurring location categories are only for those locations that have made physical appearances in the show. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 05:31, 22 December 2011 (EST)

State

Feel free to use the state field on the town template, and any other appropriate fields (only if mentioned in episode, e.g. population).--Cook879 15:39, 23 December 2011 (EST)

Oh, cool! I didn't know that would work. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 15:46, 23 December 2011 (EST)

12,000!

You got the 12,000th! Congratulations!--Cook879 18:22, 26 December 2011 (EST)

Thanks! Heh heh, there was no way I was letting Phinbart steal another milestone from me. :P --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:34, 26 December 2011 (EST)

☆The Golden Homer Award☆

The Golden Homer Award Congratulations! For your outstanding service to articles you have been awarded the Golden Homer Award for December 2011!

Hey Nick. Starting this month, all recipients of the Golden Homer award will have advertisements blocked on their account for 30 days. As a result, the server will block ads for your account starting today and lasting until February 6th. Congratulations, and thank you! :D --Jake 23:50, 7 January 2012 (EST)

Sweet! :D That's a nice incentive! --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 00:38, 9 January 2012 (EST)

☆The Crystal Homer Award☆

The Crystal Homer Award Congratulations! For your outstanding service to articles over the whole year, you have been awarded the Crystal Homer Award for 2011!

I will beat you in battle!

Hi, you're my next "victim" for beating your edit count. I have roughly 4,000, you have roughly 4,800. I hope to crush you on an edit field! | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 22:36, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

I have 4,800 edits? :P Where'd you get that number? :-\ You probably will, since I won't be on much after next thursday, if at all, for 10 days. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 23:52, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Special:Editcount/Nick97. Happy holidays! | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 23:54, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Oh, cool! How'd I miss that? :P Happy holidays indeed! I get double Easter! Although that's not the reason I won't be around. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 00:05, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Only 400 or so edits to go... | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:40, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Done. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 11:39, 12 April 2012 (EDT)

Question?

I don't think you're the person to go to about this. Anyway, when you go on the main page is it Family Guy themed and stuff? Thank you. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 19:03, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

It's April Fool's day tomorrow. :) *Edit: Or today, depending on where you live. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 19:04, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

 ;) SolarBot 19:07, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Yeah, I know. So that is why! When I click on recent changes it give a random page. Thank you, Nick. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 19:08, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Also, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 19:08, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Ha ha. Very funny Solar, changing all the links in the sidebar. :P --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 19:10, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

What's even worse is that I keep clicking on recent changes too XD ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 19:12, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Every sidebar link now leads to a random page. Except for the Random page link, which now leads to... Ralph Wiggum. XD It should lead to Randomno's user page. Are you changing the logo up top? Nevermind. :P --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 19:17, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Ned's List of Laudable Lefties

Who am I missing Nick? Template:Ned's List of Laudable Lefties --Cook879 18:22, 20 April 2012 (EDT)

Wow. Without even looking at the template, about 126 people give or take, because I haven't made all their pages yet. :P (It's a looong list.) Aside from those people, you're missing Bart Simpson (yes he's listed) and (I quote) "Pretty much any ballplayer named 'Lefty'". Also 50 Cent. I'll give a more in depth look later. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:36, 20 April 2012 (EDT)

Okay, cheers--Cook879 18:56, 20 April 2012 (EDT)

Why'd you make a link for "Pretty much any ballplayer named Lefty"? --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 19:22, 20 April 2012 (EDT)

I presumed you'd end up making a page for him/them.--Cook879 19:35, 20 April 2012 (EDT)

I wasn't going to, because I figured there were probably a large number of players named Lefty. But I can if you're ok with me making all those articles. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 19:58, 20 April 2012 (EDT)

Here's what I got from Wikipedia: Lefty Atkinson, Lefty Bertrand, Steve "Lefty" Carlton, Lefty Clarke, Lefty Chambers, Lefty Davis, Lefty George, Lefty Gervais, Lefty Gomez, Lefty Grove, Lefty Guise, Lefty Hoerst, Lefty Herring, Lefty Hayden, Lefty Houtz, Lefty Hopper, Lefty Johnson, Lefty Jamerson, Lefty Jenkins, Lefty James, Lefty Leifield, Lefty Lorenzen, Lefty Lefebvre, Lefty Marr, Lefty Mills, Lefty O'Doul, Lefty Philips, Lefty Russell, Lefty Stewart, Lefty Sloat, Lefty Sullivan, Lefty Smoll, Lefty Scott, Lefty Schegg, Lefty Tyler, Lefty Taber, Lefty Thomas, Lefty Williams, Lefty Weinert, Lefty Wilke, Lefty Willis, Lefty Wallace, Lefty West, Lefty Webb, Lefty Worlf, Lefty York.

That's 50 right there. Have any more to add? ;) --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 00:42, 21 April 2012 (EDT)

I didn't mean pages for everyone, just the phrase in the book :P--Cook879 07:02, 21 April 2012 (EDT)

Well, you said "him/them"... :P I dunno, it seems sort of pointless. Maybe if we already had a couple of pages for people named "Lefty". --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:59, 21 April 2012 (EDT)

Question

Hi, why is your username "Nick97" when you are born in 1995? FatHomer^Talk 16:30, 28 April 2012 (EDT)

Heh, the 97 really doesn't have any meaning. In grades 8 and 9 every student at my school got their own password and username to be able to log onto the school computers. My username just happened to have 97 on the end of it, so it just kinda stuck with me. I use the same username on every site I visit. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 00:23, 29 April 2012 (EDT)

Ah :) FatHomer^Talk 10:35, 1 May 2012 (EDT)

☆The Golden Homer Award☆

The Golden Homer Award Congratulations! For your outstanding service to articles you have been awarded the Golden Homer Award for October 2024!

Congrats Nick! :) --Jake 18:40, 1 May 2012 (EDT)

16,000 article

Congratulations to written the 16,000 article, I try but was to slow so when you saved the 16,000 was I was only finnish with five credits pages but need nine. /AleWi 14:40, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

Thanks. There's always next time! :) --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:47, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

Do you know what the 16,000th article was? | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 15:07, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

If you're still wondering, it was Bartspace.com/Credits. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 17:10, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

Tab templates

Just so you know, you no longer need to put the episode/comic the page comes from in the tab template. It does it automatically. :) | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 15:04, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

Oh, really? That's cool. :) --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 15:05, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

Template:Fictional Film

I changed the template slightly so you can type the parameters lower-case-ital. (Yes, that's isn't a word but who cares?) | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 12:32, 21 May 2012 (EDT)

Meeting

Are you coming to the meeting? It's on now. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 15:01, 26 May 2012 (EDT)

Yeah, I'll be there in a sec. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 15:02, 26 May 2012 (EDT)

^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 03:36, 2 June 2012 (EDT)

Unnamed (occupation)

Hi, Nick. I was just curious as to why you keep adding "Unnamed" in front of a conjecture title, because I thought that was implied with a conjecture-titled page. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 17:53, 10 June 2012 (EDT)

I just do that when I can't really think of a better name. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:09, 10 June 2012 (EDT)

RE: Towns and cities

Yes, I started one, but being 50 categorizers it dragged on too long. With the new, collapsible navboxes I may give it another shot at some point, but it will still be quite long length wise.--Cook879 13:35, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

I was wondering why you stopped that. :P No idea on how you could lessen the length though. Some of the other templates are quite long (films/books), so it shouldn't be too much of an issue. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 13:50, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

The problem with this is there are 50 categories, and so it's long without even opening a section. Hoepfully with the new design it will look good though, and be no hassle.--Cook879 18:10, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

If it gets too unruly, perhaps it could be split up so that each state got it's own cities template. Some of them are already pretty much large enough for this, most are sort of close. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:16, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

That could work.--Cook879 18:20, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

IRC

Can you come to the IRC for a second. I need to ask you a question and nobody else is on. -- WebkinzManiaTalkContributionsEditcount 18:47, 24 June 2012 (EDT)

My hat is off to you...

68.125.51.162 12:57, 11 August 2012 (EDT) My hat is off to you, Nick97. Your edits to the "Poppin' Fresh" Cultural Reference entry in "Chief of Hearts" are a definite improvement over my original, and I'm generally considered to be a wordsmith! You're an inspiration....

Why thank you. And might I congratulate you on this very insightful comment that is in no way a waste of anyone's time. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 13:23, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

☆The Golden Homer Award☆

The Golden Homer Award Congratulations! For your outstanding service to articles you have been awarded the Golden Homer Award for October 2024}!

For future reference

Hey Nick, to save you time in the future, note that {{TabC}} no longer needs the comic name, and will work automatically without it. --Cook879 04:43, 19 September 2012 (EDT)

Ohh, I see you noticed. Ignore this :)--Cook879 05:25, 19 September 2012 (EDT)

Yeah, I had forgotten about that because I copied the template from an older page that still had the comic name in it. :P --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:21, 19 September 2012 (EDT)

Tapped Out

Do you have it? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 10:33, 29 October 2012 (EDT)

Nope, sorry. Not even a device to play it on. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:46, 29 October 2012 (EDT)

"Which episode was he an elf at Santa's Village?"

It was "Burns' Heir". Bart hit the dwarf in his new car after driving through Santa's Village. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 06:37, 18 November 2012 (EST)

Changes to the notability policy

Can you give a comment on http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Blog:Changes_to_notability_policy /AleWi 14:32, 21 November 2012 (EST)

Rollback

Hi, I noticed that you didn't have rollback yet. You now have the ability to undo edits by vandals or spammers with only one click by hitting "rollback" next to the edit in either recent changes, page history or user contributions. Just try not to accidentally click rollback in recent changes (happens to all of us at least once :P). Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 06:41, 20 February 2013 (EST)

Sweet, thanks! --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:12, 20 February 2013 (EST)
