Conor

The tweet you linked to said that Chris Edgerly was Conor, not Daniel Radcliffe. Al Jean also confirmed this to me in a DM. Also, the book in the episode calls him "Conor", with only one n. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 16:31, April 9, 2018 (EDT)

Again, his name is Conor, not Connor, as you can see here. The Solar Dragon 16:39, April 9, 2018 (EDT)

Mrs. Glick

Hi, why exactly did you change "Alice Glick" to "Mrs. Glick" in multiple places? Her full name is Alice Glick, her page name is Alice Glick. She should be referred to as such. The Solar Dragon 07:41, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

Even at the top of the article is she is generally just referred to as Mrs. Glick and most folks any known her such. Snowball II (talk) 17:28, September 16, 2019 (EDT)

It's still her name so pages should be left like that. And the page title is "Alice Glick". Please do not make any more of these changes. The Solar Dragon 06:20, September 17, 2019 (EDT)

The body of the article is not the same thing as links from other pages i.e. we use "Marge" or "Bart" in the body in the article rather just using full title of the article "Marge Simpson" or "Bart Simpson" at every instance. Snowball II (talk) 17:35, September 17, 2019 (EDT)

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.

You were warned. Twice. Since you decided to go ahead and change it again, I have blocked you for a week. The Solar Dragon 18:07, September 17, 2019 (EDT)

I just figured stuff like Dr. Hibbert rather than Julius Hibbert or Superintendent Chalmers rather than Gary Chalmers was just a good faith style choice rather than something one gets blocked over. Thinking about it more, it can lead too much confusing and best to stick with the title of the page. It's fine, I wish you remove the block and I won't use "Mrs. Glick" any more in the article. I didn't think it would matter that much and I thought you were only referring to the changes to Reference section of episode articles, but I thought editing the body of the article was fine.

Character statuses

You recently made an incorrect edit to a character status. Please read through Wikisimpsons:Character statuses. It explains that the character is alive in the show, despite the fact that Henry Kissinger‎‎ is deceased in real life. Please do not make this change again otherwise it could result in a block.

Thank you,

Appearances gallery artwork

Hello, please stick with the character's default artwork in appearances galleries. Often, they are only wearing these costumes for a short period in an episode, and it's not representative of the character fully. Plus, it makes trying to find their appearances a lot harder. Thank you, The Solar Dragon 19:35, January 2, 2024 (EST)

I wouldn't totally agree since these appearance pages are unique to each episode and noticed locations sections for episode aren't uniform since they looked different in different episode and a top of costumes are unique to a specific episode which an user would be able to see if he/she check "used on" section of the file. If you 100% with or without me making a case, so be it. The main characters so seeing Lisa in a gymnast's outfit where gymnastics are a major plot element isn't the same as off a background one-off character. Snowball II (talk) 21:10, January 2, 2024 (EST)

Yes, I am 100% on this. A good thing about having the images be uniform across the Appearances galleries is that it allows you to find the appearances a character has made by looking at their image links. Splitting that up across multiple images will mean that some get missed. Plus, keeping uniform across the wiki is always a good thing. Characters will only get different images in Appearances galleries if their appearances are radically different throughout the episode. i.e. Episodes set nearly fully in the future, or completely different artstyles. The Solar Dragon 07:08, January 3, 2024 (EST)

I do appreciate you taking the time and efffort for a through and thought-out response. Again I don't totally agree with everyone of your points and do kind of wish you were flexible and negotiable, but I won't push it if you're 100% solid on it. Snowball II (talk) 15:02, January 3, 2024 (EST)

Stealing First Base characters

Hi, I think I've moved all the characters you marked to be moved. Could you go about fixing up their pages and changing them over to the correct characters please? I'd do so myself but I'm kind of busy. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 14:14, January 18, 2024 (EST)

Senator Payne and moving of articles

Hello, please do not move articles to different names like that, especially when the name you are moving the article to goes against the official material for the show. In future, please bring up all move requests on the article's talk page. I have access to multiple sources for character names so I can check to make sure they are official to the show. Thank you, The Solar Dragon 06:57, February 9, 2024 (EST)

Appearances

Hi, when you add appearances to an individual article, can you also add them to the episode's appearance page too? I noticed you added a lot of appearances to the Volvo article, but didn't add them to the episodes. It helps to make sure the appearances are accurate if they're listed in both places. Thank you, The Solar Dragon 07:53, February 25, 2024 (EST)

Hiya, thank you for adding Cletus' pickup to the episode pages. There were two things that gave me a slight pause. One was just decided to take a break and figured I'd get to it in a bit. The other was the image is specifically Tab Spangler's Volvo which I debated a bit would be the one to put for any and all Volvo vehicles.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

The article already mentioned other examples of Volvos, but the Image was only on the episode it appeared in File:Tab Spangler's Volvo.png and other examples already mentioned weren't mentioned on the actual episode My Sister, My Sitter/Appearances

Plus had the example of the image used on the Mercedes-Benz page in the back of my mind since it's only used in the specific episode is comes from. File:Mercedes-Benz.png Snowball II (talk) 11:32, February 25, 2024 (EST)

It'll be fine to use Tab Spangler's Volvo as it's just an example of one Volvo. So, feel free to use it on other Appearances articles for the Volvo image. Same should go for Mercedes Benz. The Solar Dragon 12:52, February 25, 2024 (EST)
