Renaming Images

Quick question: How do I go about renaming an image? I committed a coupel of typos on the file name for the picture of the Springfield Pool-Mobile, and I'd like to fix them if possible. Rollbacks are supposed to be able to rename images files, IIRC, yet I don't see the option showing up anyplace. Thanks! -- Mythigator 16:49, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

It should be in the same place as the page move option.--Cook879 16:55, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Try it again now. :) --Ja ke 17:08, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Sitenotice

Hey Solar. Could you comment on this and put it in the sitenotice? Thanks. --Will K ^{(Talk ~ Contribs)} 08:01, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

And come back on IRC! --Will K ^{(Talk ~ Contribs)} 08:03, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

I recently saw that you nominated me for the Golden Homer award. Thanks, means a lot. Knife! - Fan of Queen 18:53, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome. Keep up the good work. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 18:57, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Page Problem

Hi, I recently noticed that on the List of writers page the 'Timeline of producers and show runners' section is really messed up. It looks like a problem with the code or something. I wouldn't know how to fix it, so I figured I'd let you know. Nick97 21:59, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

I've removed it as it is unneeded. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 04:26, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

?

Uh, whats with the affiliate thing changing? Escyos 04:37, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

I've just been speaking to Supergeeky. Can you guess what it was about? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 04:48, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

That I accused him of being the vandal on my wiki? Escyos 04:51, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

Apparently, you've been using his name to post horrible comments on ShoutWiki's blog. Now, I like Supergeeky and I like ShoutWiki. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and you threw it back in my face. I feel like an idiot. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 04:53, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

I haven't been on anything shoutwiki in months. I only vandalise wikia. Escyos 04:54, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

I didn't believe you last time. I just tried to ignore what you had done. I can't ignore this any more. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 04:57, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

But i never did anything, it was the vandal. Escyos 05:02, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

I'm sorry but I don't buy that. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 05:04, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

People complain about some easily revertible vandalism that I didn't do and yet they weren't the ones who's email was hacked and flooded with hundreds of spam a day, Facebook was hacked and sent offensive messages to people i know and family members and my wiki was shoved full of gay porn. And this idiot seems to keep trying to bring me down everywhere online, no matter how much I try to stop them. Escyos 05:08, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

I'm sorry but I really don't buy that. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 05:08, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

Then we're done, i guess. Escyos 05:10, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

IRC

Hey, Solar. I see you keep joining the IRC channel. Sorry I don't keep responding - I'm watching the Harry Potter movies (I'm on to the first half of the last movie now!). So if you come on now, and ping me, I'll be sure to respond. --Will K ^{(Talk ~ Contribs)} 05:11, 23 July 2011 (EDT)

Question and comment

Remember me? I have a quick question: what happened to the poll on the main page? And a quick comment: The blue text on the left sidebar set on the blue background makes it difficult to read things. -- Brian McClure 08:48, 26 July 2011 (EDT)

Polls broke. See User talk:Jake. I've been meaning to change the text on the sidebar but not sure on what colour to go for. And welcome back, I marked you as inactive since you were away for so long. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 08:51, 26 July 2011 (EDT)

I'm not back for long. I'm going away for a few weeks, so I'll probably inactive for the rest of the summer. -- Brian McClure 23:24, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance

Sorry about the delay, but I have finally worked out the problem with my webhost (finally found a tech support operator that knew what the crap I was talking about) and aswanetwork.net is ready to start the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance. My alias will be online on the irc channel, but as usual, my nick will depict if i'm actually at my computer or not, so tell me through there what you exactly want on the website and i should see it eventually. Ketchup

Cool. In case I don;t see you on IRC, can you give me full powers on the forum and wiki then? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 04:32, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

DHS

Thanks very much! And yeah, I could have mentioned Brooks, but I had to limit myself to a few examples otherwise it would have been too long. Gran2 08:53, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

Delete

This could be deleted: Mypod FatHomer^Talk 10:15, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

Why? Seems OK to me. Doh5678 (talk) 10:40, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

We already have MyPod. This should also be deleted Snuggle's Cove, we already have this: Snuggler's Cove FatHomer^Talk 12:17, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

Done. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:30, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

This too The Gammels FatHomer^Talk 16:49, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

Done. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:50, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

This too: Mt. Splashmore song we have this: I Want to Go to Mt. Splashmore. FatHomer^Talk 04:10, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

Do we need this: List of references to the Tracey Ullman Shorts in episodes? FatHomer^Talk 13:47, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

No. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 13:49, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

Can you deltete the redirect http://simpsonswiki.net/w/index.php?title=Lou_Collier&redirect=no and why haven't you delteted the splashmore song? FatHomer^Talk 07:15, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

OK. And I redirected it so I didn't need to delete. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 07:16, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

9000!

We've done it! 9000 articles! only another 1,000 to go to 10,000. Doh5678 (talk) 11:01, 16 August 2011 (EDT)

Sweet! ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 11:43, 16 August 2011 (EDT)

Do you think we can have this?

Brush With Greatness/Appearances, scroll down to songs. FatHomer^Talk 14:51, 16 August 2011 (EDT)

I feel we should do have songs in the appearances if they were sung by cast members. Background sons, no. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:00, 16 August 2011 (EDT)

What should we do with the orpan pages songs then? FatHomer^Talk 15:19, 16 August 2011 (EDT)

I was going to throw together a music page for some episodes which Chris Ledesma posted info about on his blog, like this: http://simpsonsmusic500.wordpress.com/2011/08/03/music-editing-101-music-spotting-notes/ .--Cook879 15:23, 16 August 2011 (EDT)

Ok, good. FatHomer^Talk 15:26, 16 August 2011 (EDT)

And Solar i'll finish your songs before i start :P--Cook879 15:29, 16 August 2011 (EDT)

IRC

Now. --Will k ^{(Talk ~ Contribs)} 05:35, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

Status

Um...you do realise that because someone isn't active as admin, you don't remove their powers. I think you'll find people go through periods of high and low activity. -- cjc 16:24, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

I've just noticed you three admins haven't been very active much lately for a while now and you haven't used your powers in ages. It's just that I feel there are other potential admins I am turning down because of too many admins, even though they aren't that active. I won't remove your powers, just mark you as inactive or semi-active. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 16:32, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

Voice of mario and luigi?

Hi on Mario's page it says he is is voiced by hank azaria (spelling)? but on Donald Arthur it says he does the voice for mario. Does he also make the voice of Luigi (video game character)? FatHomer^Talk 11:39, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

Donald Arthur does the German voice of Mario. I'm not sure about Luigi but I thought he was non-speaking. Am I wrong? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 11:41, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

Luigi speaks in Marge Be Not Proud. I'm not sure who does his voice, but they sound nearly alike in that episode so it might also be Hank. --Nick97 11:46, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

I guessed at Hank too then. Wasn't sure about DK but I guess Hank again for him. He sounds a bit like Hank. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 11:48, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

I would think that it would be in the "who does what voice" section for the ultimate seasons 1-20 episode guide. Unless they didn't add in any of the characters that they left out in the original 1-6 seasons guide. Either that, or it might be mentioned on the episode commentary. --Nick97 11:54, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

I have several sources I check for voice actors. The book first, then SNPP then IMDb. If either of those doesn't have it (as in this case) I usually make an educated guess which is generally quite spot on. I go off which character the character sounds similar to. In the case of Mario and Luigi, the Italian accent makes them sound a bit like Luigi Risotto who is voiced by Hank Azaria so I would go for him. Donkey Kong has a bit of Cletus to his voice I think so again, I would go for Hank. Correct me if I'm wrong though, I dislike guessing. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 11:58, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

Project locations

Hi, do you think we should create a category for one time locations? Also, i've changed my mind, maybe it's good with a leader of wikisimpsons if you don't do anything bad. FatHomer^Talk 16:28, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

Hello

Hello there. UxieLover1994 10:46, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Hi. Nice to see that you have found us again. "The Solar Dragon 10:48, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, I've been watching some episodes lately. I'm trying to open myself to help other wikis. I've recently joined Spyropedia (which is currently in a downtime), and I am hopeing on writing Spyro Walkthroughs on StraegyWiki. Currently, I'm just taking a small break; with ShoutWiki down again, Spyropedia having some problems, and I'm too shy to join Bulbapedia, I've only got here and the KH Wiki. UxieLover1994 10:55, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Well, Bulbapedia is currently locked down too but you don't need to be shy about joining. The admins are nice. We're always looking for more editors so feel free to help out. I really hope ShoutWiki recovers soon. "The Solar Dragon 10:59, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, you are right. The reason why I'm shy is because I fear of making a mistake and being blamed badly. Also, I know I'll be here now and then. Yeah, SW's been inactive for over two months. Already are people becoming inpatient, y'know. Not me, though. UxieLover1994 11:05, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Don't worry. There are users who have made really stupid mistakes in the past from what I have seen. It's even worse now that ShoutWiki's blog is down. Supergeeky has disappeared and he was supposed to be hosting the blog now. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 11:11, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, I heard. There are plenty of idiots in the world, and they will do anything stuped. I've almost joined the Pokemon Wiki back at Wikia once, until I have heard rummors that they will judge people harshly over even a minor mistake, and was really frightend when I saw over 15 revenge sites for the series, ALL IN ENGLISH.

Yep, some idiots will try to create a revenge site upon being banned from the main site. According to a friend, the KH wiki had a female who did stuped things just to get attention. A fight broke out with another user, and she left the site. However, she returned only after a week, and started to sockpuppet. The admins banned her, and she soon created another KH wiki as pure revenge. Her site was to "focus on the series and treat everyone kindly". She soon had her account terminated by the staff, and used IPs to attack the site now and them. She soon discontined and was not known to have returned since. This is one reason why I am too scared to join major sites. I fear I'll end up creating a revenge site. UxieLover1994 11:26, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Revenge sites are good but only if they actually deserve it. i.e. Wikia. I will take my revenge against Wikia at some point. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 11:30, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, Wikia really screwed up with that controversal skin. They should know better. I think they might close down once they relise that even Wikkii is doing better. We currently have a similar controversy here in Australia at the moment, since our Prime Ministor wants to introduce a Carbon Tax, and everyone does not want it, but she is not lisioning to us. I have to go now. It's getting late. See ya tomorrow! :) UxieLover1994 11:41, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Tom

I don't have time to make one, so could you make a disambig for Tom? Thanks--Cook879 07:34, 27 August 2011 (EDT)

Project Re-Watch

Hi, i'll have the same episode til next week because it still needs help. I haven't been so active this week, but i'll work on the episode this coming week. FatHomer^Talk 01:17, 28 August 2011 (EDT)

That's fine. I'll be able to help out too. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 02:53, 28 August 2011 (EDT)

Lol. The things people do to get noticed :P ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 03:06, 28 August 2011 (EDT)

Monaco

Hi, how do you add tabs on the sidebar to the monaco skin? I copied your monaco.css. FatHomer^Talk 12:13, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

:D Thanks FatHomer^Talk 12:15, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Bad News

Junpei Takiguchi, the offical Japanese voice actor for Grampa Simpson, has just died yesterday, aged 80. I'm just telling you, since I am a fan of some Japanese material. It does not have to be reported, y'know. UxieLover1994 10:41, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Huh. We don't have articles on the Japanese voice actors yet but we should do. If you're a fan, would you like to make pages for them? ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 10:42, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Sure. Also, I'm still concerned that ShoutWiki has not returned to full editing, and we've got so much infomation for Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure that is ready to be put on the wiki. It's been nearly three months now, and people are starting to say that theif staff is doing nothing to this move. UxieLover1994 02:41, 14 September 2011 (EDT)

Language Portal

Hi, do you think this should be used User:FatHomer/Language Portal? FatHomer^Talk 03:20, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

I guess it could be used somewhere. Just not sure where exactly... ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 03:33, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

MEdiaWiki

Hi there, Solar Dragon! I used to edit at the old wikia site, and I was wondering how you installed MediaWiki here. I'm currently active at the Pokémon Wiki (2200 edits), and all of the admins want to move. I'm not an admin, but I'm willing to fork out the cash as long as someone can tell me how to install MEdiaWiki. Thanks, The LAtias Fan

If you're on a Pokemon wiki, I would suggest you don't bother and all move to Bulbapedia instead. I'm a NIWA member I'm afraid. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 12:19, 12 September 2011 (EDT)

Could you please just help with the MediaWiki stuff??? Please? LF001

Firstly, please sign your comments with four tildes ~~~~. Secondly, I am not looking to make another rival wiki for Bulbapedia bearing in mind it is already the best Pokemon wiki out there. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 14:22, 12 September 2011 (EDT)

All I'm asking for is help. The admins have said we're not moving. I want to start my own site, could you please help? Latiasfan00116:57, 12 September 2011 (EDT)

I'm sorry, I'm not the one to help you on this. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:57, 12 September 2011 (EDT)

Could you direct me to anyone in particular? Latiasfan00102:10, 13 September 2011 (EDT)
