Well my exams are (near enough) over now, so I'll have plenty of time to edit here, as I have really been neglecting it. Anything that needs major attention? Gran2 10:59, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- I think we need an image copyright tag (even if it's just a copy of the Lostpedia or whatever), I remember that Lostpedia got in trouble for not having one on their images. Also, I've begun reworking the movie's page, using the Lostpedia episode structure. This is how I think all of the episode pages should be designed. Thoughts? Gran2 21:38, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
Image Tag
What image tag would be for images from comics?? would it be fox? Kingcjc 19:39, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Main Page Transition
Hi Brian!
My name is Nathan and I'm a wikia helper with the entertainment team. We're going around helping wikis transition to the new style of main page that will be necessary to support the upcoming ads. I've created a draft of an idea for your main page in order to show the basic layout. Optimally, we'd like to get all main pages rolled over to the format as soon as possible, so feel free to use mine, or improve upon it. If you have any questions you can reach me via my talk page.
Thanks!

Vandalism?
I don't know if it was a Day of the Innocents joke, but HeavyWeaponsGuy vandalized the Homer Simpson article. I reverted what he did.--Gonzalo84 16:52, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Update
Hey Brian McClure, I've been editing here lately and have noticed the small community here. To combat that, I thought it may help stimulate this wiki if I changed up a few things, and to do them I would need administrator privileges. I talked to the active admins here, and they seem on board, so I thought I shall go through with it. You may now not be active here, but you are the last active bureaucrat so I assumed you would be able to get this. You can check my my talk page for what the active admins had to say. Thanks.

Promotion
Hi Brian! I've been working with Wikia's marketing manager on a cool promotional idea, and I'd love to talk to the other admins here to get some feedback. Can you drop me a line so we can talk about it? Thanks! —Scott (talk) 20:49, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Adminship
Hi, I am Dcasawang1. I want to request the adminship. The reasons I have are: - I want to help this wikia to improve it. - I want to fix it too. - I want to participate of the community and get better the wikia. - I have experience on wikis, especially in Avatar Wiki, where I have Rollback Rights. - Of course I know a lot of The Simpsons.
Thanks. Dcasawang1 - Talk 20:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Simpsons Timeline
Why did you delete my timeline? I know that it is contreversial on when the episodes are set due to the fact the characters don't age, but it is possible to cram all the episodes over 2 years.
Be warned!
Block this IP: 121.215.170.54 as it is a known vandal. It vandalizes ANYTHING. --TDM : Always here to help 16:54, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
I've regged now
yeah, thanks for that msg. i should have added another quote to that page -- the quote being my favourite Simpsons line (Snake: "Yoink-dot-adios-backslash-loser"), but that's just me. -Wack0- 19:32, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Simpsons Fanon
I was wondering if you would advertise the w:c:Simpsons Fanon we are closly related and I want us to be more closely related. --Anniemoose98, Wanna say Hi? 22:54, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
Adminship nomination
Just so you know, as your burecrat, their is someone nominated for admin. Kingcjc 16:44, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
- BUMP!. Admin and Bureaucrat request for you to look at.--Sgtcook (My Talk Page) 21:31, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
Hey
Hi. A few things have changed since you were last on. Sgtcook has became a bureaucrat, I am now an admin. We are also trying to get a Spotlight so we need lower protection on pages unless there is a strong history of vandalism on that page. See here for more details. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 06:22, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
- Ok then. After checking the history I see your point. I have also noticed that someone had reverted an edit since the protection was lowered. I will tell them that when we go for the spotlight. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 16:07, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
Bot
No. We don't have a bot here. I may look into making one after my exams are finished though as one may come in useful though but I am not too sure on how to make one. The Solar Dragon 05:05, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
- Anyway, are you becoming active now or is this just a one off? The Solar Dragon 05:06, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
Got my bot working and will be doing other tasks with it that you asked for. The Solar Dragon 14:49, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
Brian Pollack & Mert Rich
They are two different people so should have an article each, no matter how similar they are. The Solar Dragon 17:35, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
- The disambigs are fine. They lead to the two different things, such as Who Shot Mr. Burns?. There are two different episode. Please leave them alone. The Solar Dragon 17:38, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
- sorry to have to block you but it is the only way I could get you to stop. I have asked the community to discuss you as well in a forum thread. The Solar Dragon 17:52, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
- So how about unblocking me so I can at least defend myself? I promise I'll stop trying to improve the site. -- Brian McClure 18:02, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

So I try to help this site and instead I get blocked. Lovely. I'm sorry for upsetting people, but all I'm trying to do is help this place. When I first started here two years ago, it was a completely awful website, and I put in a lot of hard work to try to improve it, but it was simply too much for one person. I came back every now and then, and it slowly improved. However, this site has a LONG way to go before it could be considered a good wiki along the lines of Lostpedia or Memory Alpha. Users here seem FAR more concerned with quantity rather than quality. A lot of the articles are poorly written, but are users concerned with that? Nope, all they want to do is beef the site's page count. I've noticed that there are quite a few pointless disambiguations here (pages that haven't been touched in years), the only purpose of which is to bolster the site's page count. So I try to do something about it, and Solar Dragon, rather than engaging in a discussion with me (which is what he's encouraged to do) decides to block me, because I had the audacity to challenge his authority. And, rather than improve pages, he would rather engage in this silly activity. I admit, I have a bit of an abrupt way of doing things, but all I've tried to do is help this site, and for me to be blocked because of it would be ludicrous. Of course, why should I bother with a place that doesn't appreciate my help? -- Brian McClure 17:58, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, I tried to talk to you about it. You just ignored me and went about it anyway. You have upset users since your return as I had an email from one of them and I don't know if you got the email I sent to you as you never replied. So, you can either leave or wait until the community decides. The Solar Dragon 18:02, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
- Well, you did engage in an edit war with me. Like my user page says, I never check my e-mail, so you need to notify me first. -- Brian McClure 18:04, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
