Welcome!

Wiki.png

Hello, Cook879, and welcome to Wikisimpsons!

Thank you for taking an interest in our wiki. If you have any troubles, feel free to ask questions on my talk page or any other any experienced editors' talk page. Also, you could look at a help page.

Here are a few pages to help out new editors such as yourself:

Please sign your name on talk pages by using four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Signing your comments is important, as it lets other editors know who has posted which comments.

Again, welcome! ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:18, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Come to our IRC channel then. Wikisimpsons:IRC. we have a different channel now on ShoutWiki's IRC server. Glad to see you here. I ca get your edit count transferred to this account too. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:18, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

RE: Project Crew

Cast does count. The template is here. Can you also do this template as well. Doh5678 (Any Notices) • (My Edits) • (Wikipedia Page)


I Doh Bot

Sorry about that. Just testing to see whether the bot works. Doh5678 17:23, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Itchy & Scratchy episodes

Generally in the past we haven't been putting Appearances sections on Itchy & Scratchy episodes. I've always had the impression that for I&S episodes, the infobox was considered sufficient, and they seem to have a style all their own apart from the rest of the wiki. That said, though, if you think it's a good idea to tweak that style a bit and start putting Appearances sections on them, I'm OK with it. Just please let me know, and we can both get it on it and get all of the I&S episodes done so that they're consistent with each other. If you think, for instance, that the I&S episodes should have Appearances sections so that their style is more consistent with the rest of the wiki, that's fine by me, but I think that if we're going to start, we should go ahead and get them all done in fairly short order. Maybe we should put that task on the to-do list? Thanks and please let me know what you think. -- Mythigator 16:28, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Coolness! Thanks for your reply. I really need to get on IRC so I don't keep missing "staff meetings". :-) Once "I&S episode appearances" shows up on the task list, I'll be happy to pitch in. -- Mythigator 16:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Hope I didn't put you out too badly by raising the task list, but I think it's a good idea as it will get everyone on the same wavelength. I present myself as a case in point. Also, a list of tasks (especially done ones) 1) shows that we're making continual progress in improving the wiki and 2) sends a really powerful message to w***a that they can stick it because we can make a damn good wiki without their involvement. Matter of fact, if you do a Google search for recent topics on The Simpsons (say, Thicker than Waters), we're starting to show up three or even FOUR times in the first few search results, while w***a is either further down the list or nowhere to be found. -- Mythigator 17:03, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

The Simpsons Super Spectacular

Hi! I think it is the same because when i look at the information at snpp: Simpsons Super Spectacular #10 (Jan 2010)

The Brave and the Bald Pages: 10 Script: Ian Boothby Pencils: John Costanza Inks: Phyllis Novin Colors: Robert Stanley Letters: Karen Bates Editor: Bill Morrison Radioactive Man vs. Retroactive Man! Pages: 12 Script: Batton Lash Pencils: Tone Rodriguez Inks: Dan Davis Colors: Rick Reese Letters: Karen Bates Editor: Bill Morrison Introducing The Unleashed Legion!

Ultradog!  Conjure Cat!  Monkey Business!  Poindexter Parrot!

Pages: 7 Script: Mike W. Barr Pencils & Inks: Mile Kazaleh Colors: Alan Hellard Letters: Karen Bates Editor: Bill Morrison

they have the same Stories anyway because my UK edition of the comics has: The Brave and the Bald Introducing The Unleashed Legion! Ultradog! Conjure Cat! Monkey Business! Poindexter Parrot! Radioactive Man vs. Retroactive Man!

The only difference with the coics is the advertising i think + the UK edition has toy (Cool Maze Game) FatHomer 13:35, 20 February 2011 (UTC)FatHomer

Thanks

Thanks for being proud about the edit on Sven Simpson thanks 156.34.177.35

Project Comics

Hi! Can't we move this: User:Cook879/Comics to Wikisimpsons:Project_Comics/canonicity or something? FatHomerTalk 18:46, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Deltet templates

Hi, could you delete these templates? Template:Persondata Template:Persondata/doc Template:Documentation subpage and why do we need pages like these? User:Pete815? FatHomerTalk 20:15, 5 August 2011 (EDT)

A small task

Can you put Forum:Doh5678's wiki ideas into the site notice as a community thing. Can you comment on it also. Thanks, Doh5678 (talk) 16:43, 8 August 2011 (EDT)

Where did it go?

Why have many of the pages dissapeared? Wikisimpsons:Comic_Canonicity FatHomerTalk 12:44, 12 August 2011 (EDT)

Question...

Two of the videogames from "Marge Be Not Proud" have typos in their names. Should I make the pages using the typo'd name, or using the name they're supposed to have? eg:

One of the games is called "Celebrity Tutopsy" but that's an obvious typo and the title should be "Celebrity Autopsy." So, which one should I name the page?

The other game is "Angus Podgorny's Caper Toss" but it should say "Caber Toss." --Nick97 11:49, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

Project Re-Watch active.

Hi, can you say that project re-watch is active again. I'll still have colonel homer as episode because it needs more. FatHomerTalk 09:47, 21 August 2011 (EDT)

In sitenotice. FatHomerTalk 09:48, 21 August 2011 (EDT)
Done--Cook879 11:59, 21 August 2011 (EDT)

Can you tell people to help on project re-watch?

Hi, could you add that to the sitenotice? I'll start changing episodes on mondays. FatHomerTalk 13:34, 4 September 2011 (EDT)

I'll do it when you changed the episode :)--Cook879 15:01, 4 September 2011 (EDT)

The Doh Award

User:Doh5678/D'oh award

For your idiotic mistake here Doh5678 (talk) 16:15, 5 September 2011 (EDT)

Merchandise Award and other awards

Do you think you could add the Merchandise Award and the Golden Homer Awards to the sitenotice please. Thanks, Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 08:45, 6 September 2011 (EDT).

Done--Cook879 12:15, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

How minor is minor?

I think we have to decide wich characters we should create pages for. Are we only creating character pages with speaking characters?

See Wikisimpsons: Notability. However i think speaking characters could be added to that list as well, as the later episode guides list all speaking roles. This would be a matter for discussion though.--Cook879 09:55, 7 September 2011 (EDT)

Small task

Could you add the this and this Saturday's editor meeting to the sitenotice, please. Thanks, Doh5678 (talk) 07:19, 8 September 2011 (EDT)

Done--Cook879 13:01, 8 September 2011 (EDT)

You're in charge

Hey, would you mind being in charge of the wiki until I feel up to returning fully? Thanks, Solar Dragon (Talk Contribs.) 10:26, 8 September 2011 (EDT)

If you want, though i won't have as much time online, with anything before 5pm pretty much ruled out.--Cook879 13:02, 8 September 2011 (EDT)

Merchandise Award

You have been awarded:

Bart surrounded by Krusty merchandise.png You have been awarded
The Merchandise Award
for adding the most merchandise info to the wiki on the week beginning September 5, 2011.

This week's award was a trial run, and that's why it's ended pretty early, but next week we just focus on merchandise info, and no other template category business. Feel free to add it to your user page! Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 06:35, 11 September 2011 (EDT)

A couple of things

Firstly, I've nominated you to become a beuracrat. You can find the nom here as I'm guessing you need to accept. Secondly, can you put that in the sitenotice. --Doh5678 (talk) 13:52, 16 September 2011 (EDT)

Thanks :) and done.--Cook879 14:47, 16 September 2011 (EDT)

Merchandise Wiki

Should comics collections get moved? There are many links that need to be changed then. /AleWi 13:37, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

Wales

Good luck in Wales! You're so lucky you get to go there :P but I suppose you're way closer than me! --Will (talk) 03:01, 12 December 2011 (EST)

Hahahahahhaaha lucky - cold, rain, hail, wind - so lucky.--Cook879 12:07, 15 December 2011 (EST)

Piwik

Can you give me the link to our Piwik stats page please? I had to do a system restore so lost all my bookmarks etc. Thanks, SolarDragonName.png (Talk - Contribs.) 08:29, 17 December 2011 (EST)

You could probably do without most if the bits on the end: http://simpsonswiki.net/piwik/index.php?module=CoreHome&action=index&idSite=1&period=day&date=yesterday#module=Dashboard&action=embeddedIndex&idSite=1&period=day&date=yesterday --Cook879 10:26, 17 December 2011 (EST)

Non-canon title

Shouldn't the non-canon title be "Non-Canon Appearances". Homer Simpson is "Non Canon Appearance", and Bart is "Non Canon Appearances", Maggie is "Non-Canon Appearances", and Marge is "Non-canon". Pretty messed up. You might want to change them with your bot or something. Randomno 14:21, 22 January 2012 (EST)

They should all be "Non-canon".--Cook879 14:22, 22 January 2012 (EST)
Has it been discussed somewhere, or have you decided it yourself? I just think Non-canon is a bit non-descriptive. Randomno 14:27, 22 January 2012 (EST)
It's just been changed to that various times in the past. I don't know who/when, but it keeps it in-universe.--Cook879 14:29, 22 January 2012 (EST)

Merging

I wouldn't take any further action in the merge without notifying TheShdaowCrow and RRabbit42. They are the main ones you will have to convince. Any blocks will be unblocked by me and I will speak with them if they are in disagreement with you, to be able to discuss it. However, chat is a rarity for them, so you will have to message them on their talk pages. Also, just because you have Randomno does mean I will want to leave. And on some comments I saw in chat (sorry was sleeping at the time), we have our own awards system too. We recently introduced more achievements that were previously disable, and we have seen an increase in editing, with very little spam editing. Any spam editing was very easy to control also, so if you're capable of getting it, I would suggest it. But then again, that might be me helping the enemy. Also, if we overtake Simpsons Wiki, does that mean revenue would actually be high enough for admin payment (as minor as it might be}? Jhonevans 16:19, 23 January 2012 (EST)

Renaming file?

Hello, Cook. I've been wondering how to rename a file. Do I need to be granted powers to do so? Anyway talking about renamed files, would you be a sport and move File:Rangercall.JPG to File:Park ranger.jpg, that would be great! --Fred (Talk) 22:48, 31 January 2012 (EST)

Users need at use rollback rights in order to rename files. I will, however, look into a specific right to be able to rename images and possibly a couple of other features. The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 02:17, 1 February 2012 (EST)
Moved.--Cook879 12:17, 1 February 2012 (EST)
Freakin' Sweet! Thanks :D. --Fred (Talk) 21:32, 1 February 2012 (EST)

No title inserted

Can you view IPs on IRC? Homer7426 13:27, 1 February 2012 (EST)

Unless you have an IRC cloak, yes. Also, why are you editing from this username? The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 13:37, 1 February 2012 (EST)
Almost kickbanned for writing backwards, so I'm sort of keeping a low profile. Ruined that now. I tried getting on as "Jawguy", writing with "verry bad gramer", but Cook deciphered it (or recognised my IP). | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 13:42, 1 February 2012 (EST)
Not kickbanned, just kicked - you exited before I could kick you though. Anyway your IP comes up as you enter/leave the channel.--Cook879 14:31, 1 February 2012 (EST)

Hey!

Hi! Nice to see this wiki is growing up very fast every day! Just a question, why do you create the talk pages manually, without using the bot? Greetings from Argentina. --Simpsons88 15:41, 3 February 2012 (EST)

Hey Simpsons88 - long time no see. My bot can do that????--Cook879 15:43, 3 February 2012 (EST)

Of course!, AWB can convert to talk pages and ad the template at the top. --Simpsons88 15:44, 3 February 2012 (EST)

May have to give that a go in the future. Thanks.--Cook879 15:46, 3 February 2012 (EST)
