Welcome!

Hello, 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 most likely 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! Cook879 13:31, 21 October 2012 (EDT)

Plots from Wikipedia

Hi, please read Wikisimpsons:Plaigarism. It states that content should not be copied from Wikipedia, or any other source. If you want to write a plot, feel free to write your own. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 05:42, 21 December 2012 (EST)

Scratch that last message, I made a mistake, sorry. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 06:47, 21 December 2012 (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 2012!

Feel free to put {{User Golden Homer|December 2012}} on your user page.--Cook879 15:05, 1 January 2013 (EST)

Character statuses

Hi, Please read Wikisimpsons:Character statuses. It has a section explaining real life people and what happens when they die. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 03:50, 12 July 2013 (EDT)

Invisible Bart

Hi, how did you do that to Bart? We have a few location images with characters obstructing the outside and I was wondering whether you could remove them from those? Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 17:46, November 28, 2013 (EST)

Characters introduced in season X

Hi, the Characters introduced in season X categories are only intended for recurring characters, those that have made more than one appearance. Can you stop adding them to one-time character pages please? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 18:45, January 7, 2014 (EST)

Images with play buttons (or any other button like that)

Please, please, please, please, please do not upload any images with play buttons on. It took us ages to get rid of all images with play buttons, mouse cursors, YouTube bars etc. We do not want to have to do so again. We would rather have no image at all than one with a play button in the way. The reason for this is if there is no image at all, someone would be more likely to realize this and upload one. If they see there's an image, they may leave it and not look at it properly. You can quickly print screen when you get to the image you want. It usually takes a few tries but it's not too hard. Thank you, The Solar Dragon 18:46, January 11, 2014 (EST)

Preview button

Hi, please use the "Show preview" button rather than making multiple edits to a page. It clogs up recent changes and looks bad. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:57, January 19, 2014 (EST)

Wikia Dump

Hello, when making big changes like that template system, please ask the admins about it first. Then, we will decide whether it is a good idea and maybe implement it. In the case of Wikia Dump, it isn't very good. Since we moved from Wikia, a large portion of our articles will be similar to theirs, around 6,000 of them. If you notice any of our articles created after the move using content very similar to Wikia's content, tell me and I'll remove it and warn the offending user. Thank you, The Solar Dragon 03:01, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Images

Hello, when constantly asking Loco87 to upload higher quality images of images you claim are poor quality, can you please look at Category:Low quality images. We have many images that are of worse quality than those you claim are bad quality and these should take priority. If there are any you feel are bad quality, put them in that category and someone will get round to it eventually. AleWi is in the process of uploading all episodes to Google Drive accounts and when that's finished, we'll have DVD quality episodes for those that are released on DVD to get images from. It's a slow process though so it will take time for that to be complete. Until then, Loco is only one person so can you stop with the constant requests and try and focus on other areas please? Thanks, The Solar Dragon 16:38, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Editing policy pages

Hello, please do not add new things into policy pages. The only people who can do so without a community discussion are admins. Everyone else has to bring it up on the policy talk page and discuss adding it. Otherwise, we would have all sorts of random bits of policy added. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 03:48, February 26, 2014 (EST)

Email

Check your emails, the one you used to register on Wikisimpsons. I sent you something you might want to read. The Solar Dragon 15:52, February 27, 2014 (EST)

Articles on future episodes

Hello, the only articles about future episodes should be the episode tabs themselves. All other articles should be created in your userspace first then moved once the episode airs. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 14:26, March 12, 2014 (EDT)

Promo images

Hello, promo images stay in the format they were originally in, mainly .jpg. Please do not replace them with lesser quality .png images. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 17:28, March 23, 2014 (EDT)

Those re-uploads, is for the article, List of couch gags. PNG have more quality than JPG. --BTony70099 (talk) 17:30, March 23, 2014 (EDT)

Unless you take the .jpg and expand it. It lessens the quality largely. Keep the original images at the original quality. They are big enough to be shrunken down to 250px. I download these promos direct from FoxFlash and there is no need for them to be replaced. The Solar Dragon 17:32, March 23, 2014 (EDT)

In fact, all images, please do not just expand them and reupload them. You have the knowledge that .png are higher quality than .jpg, so you should really have the knowledge that making an image bigger by simply resizing it lessens the quality as it pixelates. If you upload new versions of images, please make sure they are higher quality. The Solar Dragon 17:51, March 23, 2014 (EDT)

No image and reference page

Hello, the "No image" image should only be used when an image is required, otherwise it should be left blank. This is because an image for a reference in dialogue only does not explain the reference at all and is therefore useless and is a waste. Images should only be used if there is a visual reference to The Simpsons. Thank you, The Solar Dragon 19:39, March 27, 2014 (EDT)

Bart Simpson

Hi, there wasn't a problem with the MultiNavbox, it was due to the huge amount of code on the page and transcluded to the page via templates that there was a problem. I've moved Bart's Tapped Out stuff to a subpage and linked it under the header and that's sorted out the issue. If you notice the problem on any other pages, please bring them to my attention or just copy what I've done on Homer Simpson/Tapped Out and Bart Simpson/Tapped Out if needed. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 19:01, April 1, 2014 (EDT)

References and reference pages

Hello, when adding references, please make sure that they are obvious references to the show and not just coincidences. Such as writing lines on a chalkboard. That's a common school punishment and is not a reference to the show. Sound effects used can sometimes be shared by shows so are not references. References need to be obvious to actually be references.

As for starting new reference pages, such as Phineas and Ferb, please start them in your userspace, under titles like User:Barthony70099/Page title and then move them to the mainspace afterwards. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 16:05, April 14, 2014 (EDT)

Featured content

Hello. Month after month I've been struggling to update the main page with new featured content as there's been a lack of decent content to add. Therefore, I'm asking everyone to nominate any decent articles, episodes, images and quotes that fit the criteria. Most importantly is the featured article and episode. However, we're also lacking comprehensive article nominations too. The worst thing is that there is usually very little voting on these, with there only being one or two votes maximum. I'm sorry to send out a mass message like this but the sitenotice seems to go unnoticed. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 08:17, May 1, 2014 (EDT)

Spam

When adding the spam template to pages, don't forget to also delete the page content. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 00:12, May 2, 2014 (EDT)

Removing backgrounds

Hello, please do not remove backgrounds of images unless you are sure you can do it perfectly. If another user wants to remove the background of an image, they can do so with the image already on the page. You don't need to do an attempt and then wait for them to do so. The chances are, they'd have to start from scratch with the original any way as it's easier than fixing someone else's botched attempt. Thank you, The Solar Dragon 16:38, May 2, 2014 (EDT)

Block

"Thank you, come again!" ―Apu Nahasapeemapetilon You have been blocked for a period of 1 week due to disruptive editing. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding your reasons below, and your appeal will be reviewed by the blocking admin. The Solar Dragon 04:36, May 3, 2014 (EDT)

I told you to stop reuploading these images. You can carry on editing in a week but please obey our policies and when an admin tells you to stop doing something, stop doing it. The Solar Dragon 04:36, May 3, 2014 (EDT)

Preview button

Please use the preview button rather than editing a page multiple times, like you did my talk page. It's rather annoying to get so many emails through about messages left on my talk page. Preview your post, make sure it is fine, then submit. The Solar Dragon 17:17, May 11, 2014 (EDT)

Templates

Please do not create anew new templates/make major changes to any templates without first discussing it. We do not want users making random changes to templates as it can get confusing. Also, just because you think a template is needed doesn't mean it is. If you want to make a new template, ask me first. Thank you, The Solar Dragon 04:31, May 12, 2014 (EDT)
