IRC[edit]

FYI; Me, Solar and AleWi are on IRC.--Cook879 17:35, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

I'll be there! --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 17:36, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

You gonna go there? We might actually have something to talk about, for once. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 21:24, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Yes, sir. Mr. President, sir! --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 21:26, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

I'm a president? | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 09:25, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Little Britain quote. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 09:27, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

I'm sorry if this conflicts you, but can you go on, please? I'll be there. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 09:27, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Products[edit]

Hey, nice job with all those product/food articles. :D If I may say something, though, you shouldn't use the "company" template on product articles, because they are two different things. Like how Oreo cookies are the product, but Mr. Christie is the company. Since we don't have a fictional product template, a thumbnail does just fine. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 19:37, 24 March 2012 (EDT)

Or, we could make a product template.--Cook879 19:38, 24 March 2012 (EDT)

Oh, okay. Thank you. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 19:41, 24 March 2012 (EDT)

Also, I know the difference. I just added company for some reason. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 07:23, 4 April 2012 (EDT)

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![edit]

Why are you removing the summary? It's useful as the title is a bit un-descriptive. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 03:10, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

Hardy ever have summaries. Even if, users (me and Cook) take it away. You're the boss though. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 03:12, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

Now there's going to be a bit of a problem. :| | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 03:14, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

I'm thinking of a way to add the source into the image file, maybe through the license template. I plan to try adding this at some point.--Cook879 14:22, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

What's that supposed to mean? | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 14:23, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

You know we were (somewhere) discussing adding the source of the image, i.e. the episode name, onto images. I plan to add that in, most likely in the template. Haven't got time to try anything now.--Cook879 17:00, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

That is a good idea though, Cook. Sorry for this Randomno. Also, Cook, I didn't plan on getting you involved. Again, sorry. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 01:07, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

Category:Images - Objects[edit]

Hey - Nice work on the images. However I question your use of Category:Images - Objects. Personally I think it should be used for objects we're making articles for, like the food products. Otherwise it would apply for nearly all images. Also, I think media should be restricted to its respective category, and not overlap with objects. Don't worry about going back and editing them all, I'll cover that with adding sources to images.--Cook879 14:43, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

True. Thank you for this, Cook. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 00:49, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

User:Will k/workbench[edit]

Hi, as you're the only other active person right now, and I'm a bit tired out myself, do you think you could add any part of http://www.simpsoncrazy.com/ukcuts to Will k's workbench? Thanks, | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 21:07, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Umm... Okay? --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 21:09, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

What do you mean? --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 21:11, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Don't worry. I think I know. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 21:12, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

You've conflicted me twice now... Anyway, this is what I just put:

Just, if you can, add any bad language stated on their. So, for example, you could do "The Heartbroke Kid", using the quote, "What are ya staring at, ya bastards?".

Thanks, | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 21:14, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Sorry about the conflicting, Randomno. At first I didn't know what I was doing. It was showing stuff about 9/11. Then I realised. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 04:05, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

☆The Silver Homer Award☆[edit]

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

☆The Non-main Namspace Award☆[edit]

The Non-main Namespace Award Congratulations! For your crazy amount of edits not in the main namespace, you have been rewarded with this special award! Happy editing. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 12:02, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

This is just a joke award, but you do have the lowest percentage of main namespace editors out of all the regular editors. Happy non-main namespace editing! | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 12:02, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

Thank you, Randomno.... --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 18:10, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

Not my favourite award. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 06:52, 7 April 2012 (EDT)

My user sub-pages talk pages[edit]

I don't think you've done them all yet. I do have about 50 - 60, though. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 09:25, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Okay. I'll be more then happy to do if wanted. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 09:26, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Don't waste your time, I'll bot it Frederick.--Cook879 11:04, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Thanks, Cook. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 11:05, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Wikipedialink[edit]

Just to let you know, {{Wikipedialink}} doesn't need the name if it's the same as the article, as it uses {{PAGENAME}}.

Okay. Does this mean I can do it on guest star pages? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 11:28, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

As long as their page has the same name, then yeah, you can. If you want, I'll see if I can use my bot, to help, though I know it can't be automated will be quicker than you doing it by hand.--Cook879 11:31, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Really? That would be great! Thanks, Cook. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 11:33, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Hmm...[edit]

I don't know how, but you have about 6,000 more edits than me, and you only joined two months before me. I worked out that on average, every day, you do 101.2 (with a load of other decimals) edits a day. :| | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 11:35, 12 April 2012 (EDT)

Okay? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 19:44, 12 April 2012 (EDT)

Is this a good thing? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 08:55, 13 April 2012 (EDT)

No, it's a bad thing. Get out the house more. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 07:30, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Meh. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 00:44, 16 April 2012 (EDT)

Channel 5[edit]

OK, Frederick, I have NEVER seen Channel 5 broadcast The Simpsons. Channel 4 fought Channel 5 to get the show, and Channel 4 won. I don't know how you've got the idea that Channel 5 broadcasts The Simpsons. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 04:16, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Sorry, Phinbart. It was a misunderstanding. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 04:18, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Mark Twain[edit]

http://simpsonswiki.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&search=Mark+Twain&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&redirs=1&profile=advanced Happy editing! | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 06:25, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on! --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 06:28, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

:P | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 06:49, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

What is that supposed to imply? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 06:50, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Okay, more XD. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 06:53, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

You can add the references. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 06:53, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Oh, yeah, that is the only times Mark Twain have appeared. The others are just references, Randomno. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 06:58, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

I know, I worked that out. I need to finish my other WIPs and stuff, though, before I start another one. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 07:00, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

CONFLICT!!!!!!!!! | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 07:00, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Randomno, conflicting is something that you need to live with. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 07:02, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

I never said I was annoyed or angry. I just wrote "CONFLICT!!!!!!!!!". | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 07:04, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Oh, whatever, Randomno. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 07:05, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Guest star images[edit]

Hi, when having images of guest stars, we would prefer to have more up to date images rather than images of them when they were younger and in black and white. That is why I reverted the new image of Dick Clark you uploaded. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 04:39, 19 April 2012 (EDT)

I understand, but that image was pretty poor, you know? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 05:57, 19 April 2012 (EDT)

It's still good enough for us and not black and white though, which I prefer. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 06:05, 19 April 2012 (EDT)

Yeah, I guess so. Sorry 'bout that, mate. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 06:08, 19 April 2012 (EDT)

Full names[edit]

Why do you link characters with their full names? | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 03:28, 29 April 2012 (EDT)

Hmmm. Redirecting looks... "tacky". --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 03:53, 29 April 2012 (EDT)

Hang on. What do you mean? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 05:57, 30 April 2012 (EDT)

I believe that Randomno is referring to making a first-name link to, say, Homer's article by using [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] rather than using the redirect [[Homer]]. (Randomno, please feel free to correct me if I'm misstating what you're talking about.) However tacky the redirects may look, it is preferred to use them instead of the "full name-vertical bar-first name" pattern. According to Solar Dragon, the pages load faster when you use the redirects. And from the perspective of typing them up, I can say that it's a lot easier to use the redirects where possible. So, since the redirects work better and they're easier to type, why not save yourself a little work and go ahead and use them? -- Mythigator 09:03, 30 April 2012 (EDT)

I think he's also refering to Frederick's tendency to add the characters last name to a link that previously only had their first name. Like when he was adding "Nahasapeemapetilon" at the end of all the links for Apu, on those Midnight Rx pages I was making. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:17, 30 April 2012 (EDT)

I meant Frederick would type something like, "When Homer Simpson ate some bacon", when most users would write, "When Homer ate some bacon". | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:45, 30 April 2012 (EDT)

I used to not like redirects either but this wiki over-uses them, so I didn't think it was worth it. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:46, 30 April 2012 (EDT)

Gotchca, Randomno. Also a good point. -- Mythigator 11:08, 30 April 2012 (EDT)

I may get used to them. But on the main page I think it is important to not use redirects. Nuff' Said! --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 00:56, 1 May 2012 (EDT)

License[edit]

Whoops, gotcha. What should I do for those baseball logos? WebkinzMania 16:58, 1 May 2012 (EDT)

If you want to, I think they're Wikimedia images. So create the file page like this:

== Summary == File originally uploaded [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chicago_Cubs_Logo.svg here]. == Licensing == {{From Wikimedia}} [[Category:Images - Logos]] --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 17:04, 1 May 2012 (EDT)

Also, for the Boston Red Sox just change the URL to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RedSoxPrimary_HangingSocks.svg. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 17:08, 1 May 2012 (EDT)

>>:([edit]

Frederick, I am going to kill you. You ruined my chance of making articles. Prepare to be violently sacrificed to Wikisimpsons. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:33, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Randomno, anyone can make articles... The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:40, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Should've put the WIP template, I suppose. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:42, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

That, my friend, is the risk of going to school. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 00:50, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Also, thank you, Solar, for having my back on this! --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 00:51, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

I did get really annoyed when I found out you created those. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 01:04, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Is there a template for Patty's bookshelf? If so, I would create it! --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 01:05, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Oh, yeah, template. What happens if I say, "I'll do it."? | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 01:07, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Hang on, there already is. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 01:08, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Ha! Bad luck, Randomno. I'll try and find something for you to do. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 01:10, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

If you do, make sure there are no parodies. I don't know if I told you this, but the reason I took a break in making those articles is because I put a question on Yahoo! Answers about the parodies. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 01:17, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

So you 'ain't very good with references? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 01:19, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Not that good. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 01:21, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

I made the template as you guys were too slow.--Cook879 07:07, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Create the Empire State Building article, which appeared in the couch gag of the episode. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 01:35, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

... | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 01:56, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Anyway, I need to find a long list of things. I'll try a random episode. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 01:57, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Weren't there more books than just the ones on Patty's shelf? There were a bunch seen at Bookaccino's, like in this image: File:Bookaccino's interior.png. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:39, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Randomno, I have a bunch of pages for you to create. Ask me whenever. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 06:21, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

Smithsonian couch gag[edit]

Hey, I thought "Bart Stops to Smell the Roosevelts" had the John K. couch gag. Just because you put the images from the gag under "Bart Stops to Smell the Roosevelts", e.g. File:Dorothy's ruby slippers.png.--Cook879 16:22, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

The Smithsonian Museum couch gag wasn't in "Bart Stops to Smell the Roosevelts". | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 16:30, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Oh, no! Blame Project Free TV for muddling up the list of episodes! Sorry 'bout that, I'll change it to "Replaceable You". --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 22:44, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

The Spy Who Learned Me/Appearances[edit]

Does that page give you any ads? | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 02:57, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

Nope. Actually that's odd... --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 02:58, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

Scroll down. You should see the "advertisment" header, but then the rest is cut off. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 03:02, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

I know. There is absolutely no advisement on that article. Also, do you mind, if you're not too busy, uploading those American football teams' logos, because I have to go? Thank you. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 03:07, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

Sorry, I can't. I've got to stick with my two most important things for now. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 03:12, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

• P.S. CONFLICT! | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 03:12, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

Yeah, yeah. I get to go on for five more minutes. Will you maybe upload them if you get the time? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 03:23, 4 May 2012 (EDT)
