Rightio then...

Just a random bit of fun I thought I'd share (here). --Will (talk) 02:59, 12 December 2011 (EST)

IMDb is sort of like a wiki, except everything has to be verified first. Occasionally, some stupid nonsense does get through, such as a false Doctor Who episode one that came around a couple of years ago. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 06:57, 12 December 2011 (EST)

Mmm, IMDb is really poor when it comes to so many aspects, like TV shows, or yet-to-be-released films. --Will (talk) 00:46, 13 December 2011 (EST)

Simpsons on iTunes

I just wanted to give you this link, where you can request more Simpsons seasons on iTunes:

http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

I've been requesting for quite some time now. I just wanted to tell you about that.

Urm... well, I don't have an iPod (yet) so doesn't really help me :P Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 13:51, 17 December 2011 (EST)

Lol, you have iTunes itself? I can help out with some episodes if they add it. I already have season 21 on iTunes and am waiting to get 22 for Christmas this year. I have a few other episodes from earlier seasons too. WebkinzMania 15:59, 18 December 2011 (EST)

No, I don't have iTunes. No need for it when I don't have an iPod :P The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:00, 18 December 2011 (EST)

There may be an editor meeting tomorrow normal time

"There may be an editor meeting tomorrow normal time." should be "There may be an editor meeting today normal time." /AleWi 05:51, 20 December 2011 (EST)

Thanks for pointing that out. The Solar Dragon 06:12, 20 December 2011 (EST)

Coldplay

What is your favourite song of theirs? Jhonevans 08:33, 21 December 2011 (EST)

Well... kind of off topic you know. There are too many good songs to choose from. I can narrow it down to about 4 songs that I think are all equal, Don't Panic, Paradise, Princess of China and Lost+ The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 08:36, 21 December 2011 (EST)

Haha, surprised Yellow or The Scientist wasn't on your list. I see you added me as a foe..? Jhonevans 08:58, 21 December 2011 (EST)

They come close. And yes, I added you as a foe. You're from Wikia, therefore you're a foe of mine. The Solar Dragon 08:59, 21 December 2011 (EST)

And yet I have been so nice to you... Jhonevans 09:04, 21 December 2011 (EST)

You're not doing anything to help the wiki though. ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 09:07, 21 December 2011 (EST)

Yeah, yeah. One more question. Would you have left wikia if they provided the Monobook option originally? (keep in mind you wouldn't have been banned etc.) Jhonevans 09:09, 21 December 2011 (EST)

Our whole quarrel with Wikia was because of the skin. However, even if they hadn't have made a new skin, we may have left at a later point seeing all their shit featured they've made now (replacing talk pages, user pages etc.) Plus, now we're independent, we are so much better than we ever were on Wikia. New skin, new extensions, a lot more pages and more freedom to do as we please. It's great. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:26, 21 December 2011 (EST)

(Oh, and sorry about the late reply. I was watching Futurama episodes) The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:27, 21 December 2011 (EST)

Scratchy's Service Station

For some strange reason, the infobox image for Scratchy's Service Station and Lunch Counter is not showing up in the article. I built and previewed the article while the database was locked, and everything looked fine then. After that, I copied the code to a text file and kept it until the database was unlocked, at which time I copied the code back onto the wiki and saved the article. Everything worked fine except the image in the infobox. Any idea what's up?(shrug) -- Mythigator 04:09, 23 December 2011 (EST)

I've seen this before but the usual method of fixing it didn't work. Plus, I don't see any reason why it should be doing this. The only time this has happened before was because the image name has a strange symbol in, which it didn't this time. I've asked Jake though so hopefully he should fix it. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 04:29, 23 December 2011 (EST)

Well, the image shows up now, and I notice that the file name now has spaces in it (the idea behind the rename being to give the database a nudge?), so whatever you and/or Jake did, it worked. Thanks. -- Mythigator 08:26, 23 December 2011 (EST)

The rename was to do just that, except it didn't work. The pathway for image thumbnails had changed since the server move so Jake just needed to change that. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 08:31, 23 December 2011 (EST)

Help

Hi could you help me with this Template:SC? I want to shorten this Template:ComicsList. FatHomer^Talk 04:25, 2 January 2012 (EST)

Try that. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 05:03, 2 January 2012 (EST)

Thanks :) FatHomer^Talk 06:27, 2 January 2012 (EST)

Help

Hi, how do i verify my email adress to my piwik account? And it would be great if you could put up a notis that when people create an article, they should also make sure there's a link to it. Because it's no use to have orphaned pages. FatHomer^Talk 15:33, 2 January 2012 (EST)

Urm... I'm not sure as not even I have done so. You'll have to ask Jake. I try to link to articles when I make them (through appearances pages or otherwise) but some people don't. It's common sense mostly. The Solar Dragon 15:35, 2 January 2012 (EST)

Shouldn't some of these be deleted, Category:Images_-_User_space ? FatHomer^Talk 08:57, 3 January 2012 (EST)

wikisimpsons.com?

Hi,

I'm just wondering why we don't have the adress "wikisimpsons.com"? It's not registered and our name is "Wikisimpsons". FatHomer^Talk 04:37, 7 January 2012 (EST)

simpsonswiki.net was chosen as more people would search for "simpsons wiki" than "wikisimpsons". That's the only reason. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 06:46, 7 January 2012 (EST)

There is also an address called http://wikisimpsons.net, but that's been taken up by a Simpsons sign in Spanish. Also, Solar, I've corrected a spelling mistake in your comment. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 07:05, 7 January 2012 (EST)

Smart. FatHomer^Talk 09:23, 7 January 2012 (EST)

Simpsons Wikia

I don't know if you have any contact with the guys that run the Simpsons Wikia, but if you do, you may want to tell them to edit their Meta Description to reflect their name change from Wikisimpsons to Simpsons Wiki. Not only is it incorrect, but it's actually hurting our search rankings as well. --Jake 08:49, 12 January 2012 (EST)

Thanks for that. I've pointed it out to one of the admins so he should hopefully change it. The Solar Dragon 10:44, 12 January 2012 (EST)
