Pages and Images for Deletion

I have been at hard work this afternoon, and I was wondering if you could please delete these pages and images, most of which I tagged for deletion. The list is here. Gazlene the Pork Girl (talk) 22:35, March 22, 2014 (EDT)

There's been no discussion as of yet about deleting those articles, and I'm not going to zap them unilaterally. If you concur with the deletions, then go to Wikisimpsons:Pages_for_deletion and state your agreement with the nominations. The deletions will happen after there's been a bit more discussion. -- Mythigator (talk) 22:46, March 22, 2014 (EDT)

Featured content

Hello. Month after month I've been struggling to update the main page with new featured content as there's been a lack of decent content to add. Therefore, I'm asking everyone to nominate any decent articles, episodes, images and quotes that fit the criteria. Most importantly is the featured article and episode. However, we're also lacking comprehensive article nominations too. The worst thing is that there is usually very little voting on these, with there only being one or two votes maximum. I'm sorry to send out a mass message like this but the sitenotice seems to go unnoticed. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 08:17, May 1, 2014 (EDT)

Affiliates

Hey, since you're the affiliate guy, can you remove Fish Hooks Wiki and Simpsons Comics News Blog from the list of affiliates? I've completely abandoned them both for over a year now but haven't got round to asking. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 11:30, August 14, 2014 (EDT)

I'd be happy to take care of it. Just one thing, though: I'm trying to figure out how to access the menu on the left side of the page? I can take those two off of the affiliates page, no problem, but so far the menu has stumped me. And I'd rather not do anything until I can take care of both tasks on the same go. So, how do I get to that menu? -- Mythigator (talk) 08:25, August 15, 2014 (EDT)

Question withdrawn. Found it, took care of it. -- Mythigator (talk) 08:34, August 15, 2014 (EDT)

References or references?

It seems you put "Cultural References" on the /references pages, when I put "Cultural references"... Not sure if there is a correct one, but wanted to know what you think on it so there's not pulling back and forth with it. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 11:53, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

It should be a lowercase "r" in references. The Solar Dragon 12:37, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

Hmm, well that stopped any awkward discussion... |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 12:38, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

Randomno is right; it should be a lower-case "r". If you caught me getting it wrong, please go ahead and fix it. Thanks in advance for having my back. :-) -- Mythigator (talk) 14:06, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

Nah Solar's right, I just asked about it. |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 14:08, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

True, Solar gave the answer. But I'm pretty sure I did get one wrong recently, so you can take some credit for asking the question. -- Mythigator (talk) 14:10, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

Simpsons Wikia

Hey Mythigator, so, you may have heard about the Wikia stealing our articles thing again. I've tried to sort it out, but, as you can see here, things are starting to get out of hand. Since you are our representative, I was hoping you could possibly go in and try and diffuse the situation. I can't carry on because things will just become worse and worse. Read my talk page for any other information. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 11:11, November 12, 2014 (EST)

Oh, also, it may be best if you handle any of the stealing/copyright issues in future. I always seem to end up getting confrontational, which is not the best cause of action. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 11:17, November 12, 2014 (EST)

I've been following the goings-on a little bit, so I'll do what I can to defuse things. I think it'll help that I've been able to stay on pretty civil terms with the Simpsons Wikia people. -- Mythigator (talk) 11:22, November 12, 2014 (EST)

Mythbusters Simpsons

Hi, just wondering if you've heard about this yet? Mythbusters is tackling a couple of Simpsons things. I know you watch the show, so thought I'd make sure you knew about this. It should probably be added to References in other media once it airs too. The Solar Dragon 09:23, December 18, 2014 (EST)

I hadn't heard about that, but it sounds immensely cool! Looking forward to it! -- Mythigator (talk) 10:26, December 18, 2014 (EST)

I've created a MythBusters article. I was wondering if you could fill in some more details. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 11:12, January 10, 2015 (EST)

I'll dive into it after I've seen the Simpsons special episode. My DVR is set!! -- Mythigator (talk) 13:01, January 10, 2015 (EST)

I'll try and find somewhere online to watch it after it airs too. Just thought you'd know more about the setup of the show than I do so you'd probably be able to write about it better. I also thought the fact it has a whole episode dedicated to The Simpsons is enough notability to have its own article here. The Solar Dragon 14:02, January 10, 2015 (EST)

All done and it was fun. It took me longer than I thought to get around to watching the Simpsons special episode. -- Mythigator (talk) 22:17, January 25, 2015 (EST)

unregistered user messing around pages

hey man, please ban this ****t 71.229.221.215 LetsPlayNintendoITA 22:05, September 28, 2015 (EDT)

In this instance, I have no objection to a few swears, as the cause was more than sufficient. Still, I appreciate your restraint. :-) I gave the IP a three-month ban. Thanks for taking care of the cleanup. -- Mythigator (talk) 00:35, September 29, 2015 (EDT)

Blocking?

Hello, some unregistered user just tried making changes to my personal user page, granted it was a very minor edit but it was still uncalled for and made me worry that they could do it again. I checked the policies section and feel it is vandalism but I'd like an administrators opinionBleedinggumsmurphy1 (talk) 02:41, October 21, 2015 (EDT)

I put a vandalism warning on his talk page, but I noticed that he's been blocked in the past for similar activity. And specifically, for being warned about it and yet continuing with it. Solar blocked him before, so if Solar decides another block is in order, I will be in agreement with it. Also, I put the warning on his page before I saw your message, so please take that as indicating that I agree with you that his change to your user page constitutes vandalism. Regards, M. -- Mythigator (talk) 02:48, October 21, 2015 (EDT)

This should do it. All unregistered users can't touch your page now. When you feel like change that, just write here. I dunno if you can do it yourself, there's an option on top called Protect or something. Go there and set it if you can ;) LetsPlayNintendoITA 04:14, October 21, 2015 (EDT)

Bleedinggumsmurphy1 has trusted rights, which include page protection rights. And LetsPlayNintendoITA, try not to remove talk page messages when you add yours (I expect it's accidental, but just preview the changes before saving so you see if you're removing something that shouldn't be removed). I also agree that his change is vandalism, in fact, editing another user's page without the permission of that user is vandalism. / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 07:28, October 21, 2015 (EDT)

That actually might not do it, as the current vandal is a registered user. But maybe he'll cool his jets now that he's been well and thoroughly caught out. -- Mythigator (talk) 08:13, October 21, 2015 (EDT)

yeah sorry apparently i edited the non-last version by clicking the link in the email. LetsPlayNintendoITA 10:07, October 21, 2015 (EDT)

At Home for a While

Back in mid-March, I got an infection in my left hand and needed surgery to clean it out. I was in hospital for a few days recuperating while they decided what antibiotics to put me on. I'm now back home, but need to make daily return visits for bandage changes and further antibiotics treatments. I will be off work until mid-April when the treatments should be finished. Fortunately, I have plenty of paid sick leave accumulated! While my hand is bandaged, I don't have full use of it, so I wouldn't be very effective at work, anyway. So, for now, I should be a bit more active than usual on the wiki – I suppose it could be construed as self-administered physical therapy with the goal of getting my hand back to form. :-) Best to all, M. -- Mythigator (talk) 23:28, April 3, 2016 (EDT)

Get well soon, mate! LetsPlayNintendoITA 23:49, April 3, 2016 (EDT)

Hand updates: My last antibiotics treatment was April 10. Lab tests at that point indicated that the infection was gone. My last hospital dressing change was on the 15th. At that time, the doctor examined my hand and said that a simple over-the-counter bandage would be sufficient to protect the surgical wound while it finished healing. I went back to work on Monday the 18th. I still don't have all my finger motion back in the fingers nearest to the wound, but it's good enough for typing at work and is gradually improving. -- Mythigator (talk) 08:23, April 22, 2016 (EDT)

Good to know. Get all well soon hopefully and you can go back to 100%! LetsPlayNintendoITA 08:46, April 22, 2016 (EDT)

Molto grazie for the kind thoughts! :-) -- Mythigator (talk) 08:27, April 23, 2016 (EDT)

Quick hand updates: The surgical wound was all healed up around the first of May, so I was able to quit wearing bandages. I started seeing a physical therapist a few weeks ago, and she's given me exercises for restoring both strength and range of motion in my hand and fingers. As before, improvement has been slow but steady. -- Mythigator (talk) 23:05, June 18, 2016 (EDT)

It will be soon before it'll return to normal. Do it! :D LetsPlayNintendoITA 23:30, June 18, 2016 (EDT)
