J. P. Patches

J. P. Patches was one of the real-life inspirations for Krusty, which explains the in-joke behind the name being included on the list of birthday buddies in "Radio Bart". Not notable enough? -- Mythigator 10:09, 6 February 2013 (EST)

I don't think so. A mention on Krusty's page in the Behind the Laughter is enough for him. Maybe even a redirect to that section. I don't think he should get an article though. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 12:12, 6 February 2013 (EST)

Just checking, since it was the bot that did the actual deletion. I just wanted to make sure that there was some actual thought process behind it. :-) In addition to a BtL mention on Krusty's page, J.P. should also get a mention in the References tab for "Radio Bart". I'll attend to both of those, thanks much. -- Mythigator 14:05, 6 February 2013 (EST)

Offline

How come Wikisimpsons goes offline for brief spells? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 15:41, 12 February 2013 (EST)

Don't know, ask Jake. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:57, 12 February 2013 (EST)

File:Maggie Simpson Oscars 1.jpg

Where'd you get the image from? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 17:52, 19 February 2013 (EST)

Here. The Simpsons Facebook page shared the link so they are definitely official. The Solar Dragon 17:53, 19 February 2013 (EST)

I looked on FoxFlash, but all I could find were new promo images for "Black-Eyed, Please". ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 17:54, 19 February 2013 (EST)

Oh, thanks for telling me. I'll get those uploaded ASAP. The Solar Dragon 17:55, 19 February 2013 (EST)

Crystal Award

Could you update the sitenotice to say "Voting for the Crystal Homer Awards for 2012 has started"? Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 05:20, 23 February 2013 (EST)

Done.--Cook 8 7 9 13:43, 25 February 2013 (EST)

Tumblr

It's you who writes the Tumblr posts isn't it? If I'm right, then I have uploaded a bigger version of the Angry Dad: The Movie promo you featured in the last post. Better than that pixelated one before. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 15:24, 25 February 2013 (EST)

AleWi actually created it and looks after it most. I do however have access to it so I will update the picture. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 15:25, 25 February 2013 (EST)

No wonder a couple of the posts don't make sense then. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 15:28, 25 February 2013 (EST)

I'll try and proof read all future posts and change them. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:30, 25 February 2013 (EST)

Could you post something about Season 24 premiering in the UK with "Moonshine River" on March 24? Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:03, 12 March 2013 (EDT)

Platinum and Crystal awards

Hi, I have two things to ask you:

Have you contacted Smiley12 yet about the Platinum Award trophy?
Can you change the sitenotice to read "Two days of voting left in the 2012 Crystal Homer Awards!".

Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 05:22, 2 March 2013 (EST)

Solar? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 05:20, 3 March 2013 (EST)

Instead of "Two days" could you put "one day"? Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 11:54, 6 March 2013 (EST)

Daily Mail article

Someone on the Tapped Out forums found this: a Daily Mail article about a 8-year-old running up a bill of £1000 buying donuts on Tapped Out. Where could I put this on the Tapped Out article? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:39, 13 March 2013 (EDT)

No where. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 13:09, 13 March 2013 (EDT)

I thought it would be notable. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 13:13, 13 March 2013 (EDT)

Not really to do with the game. It shouldn't be noted that some parent was stupid enough to let their kid buy £1000 worth of donuts. It's not to do with the game at all. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 13:15, 13 March 2013 (EDT)

"High to Be Loathed" Screencaps

By any chance, were you able to get a screencap of Burns casting the Terminators' shadows as he sings the song? I tried getting one from the episode video link at IMDB, but the replay was so choppy that they don't show up at all. As seen on TV, each Terminator's shadow appears as Burns sings "1", "2" and "3" so it finishes with Burns casting all three shadows at the same time. It would be a cool pic for the Terminator references article. -- Mythigator 14:05, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

I'll get the screenshot when I can. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:08, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

April Fools Day

Got anything planned for Monday? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:37, 30 March 2013 (EDT)

Not this year. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 12:39, 30 March 2013 (EDT)

I know -- do what I've done for Fish Hooks Wiki. Ask Twitter and/or Facebook users to send in/tweet what they think Bart could do for April Fools Day? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 15:29, 31 March 2013 (EDT)

Top Trumps

Would you be able to help out on The Simpsons Sports Day Top Trumps by helping to fill in the table?~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 10:26, 5 April 2013 (EDT)

Sorry, no can do. My Top Trumps are now all boxed up and sealed away. You can find the pack slideshows on Ultimate Top Trumps for other Simpsons Top Trumps but not Sports Day as they aren't there yet.

ShoutWiki

Do you know what's up with ShoutWiki? I get an error message when I try to access it. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 15:05, 7 April 2013 (EDT)

The wiki's back online now. Any idea what went wrong? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 15:30, 7 April 2013 (EDT)

The error message is back. Do you know what's up? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 04:16, 8 April 2013 (EDT)

Cutscenes

Should the cutscenes in Tapped Out each have their own article now they've been officially named, and the fact that they are Simpsons shorts? I think either that, or a page listing all of them. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 07:40, 12 April 2013 (EDT)

Hutz

Sorry about the poor quality image i only really put it on here as proof that Lionel Hutz was in the movie, i also have pictures that prove that Troy McClure and Dr. Marvin Monroe appeared. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LewisGravenellnew (talk • contribs) 14:19, 16 April 2013‎

Hi, firstly, I'm not even sure if we should count these as proper appearances for these characters. I'm guessing that the animators just reused character templates and changed them a bit. Since this Hutz has different hair, I don't think it is him. It's just a reuse of his template to bulk up the crowd scenes. How many characters are in these scenes? Imagine if the animators had to create every single one from scratch. Secondly, we used to have loads of terrible quality images taken with cameras on Wikisimpsons. I replaced them all over a long period of time. We just don't want any more as a result. All you need to do is get it on the computer and hit print screen instead as that is a lot easier for taking images. :P Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 14:23, 16 April 2013 (EDT)

Thanks

Thanks for the Autopatrolled promotion :). Gazlene the Pork Girl 11:06, 20 April 2013 (EDT)

It's no big deal. It just means that I, and other admins, don't have to mark all your edits as patrolled any more as there isn't any need to patrol every one of your edits. :P The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 11:08, 20 April 2013 (EDT)

By the way, I noticed that Wikia is higher ranked in Google than ShoutWiki. How do you make ShoutWiki higher ranked? The wikis aren't really that popular and Wikia's more popular editor-wise and ranking-wise. Gazlene the Pork Girl 11:30, 20 April 2013 (EDT)

There are various ways to raise your Google rank. Number of pages on a website is one of them, which is why Wikia is usually higher ranked. There is also number of websites linking in to the website which raises the ranking. The more pages and links into the wiki, the higher the Google ranking. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 11:32, 20 April 2013 (EDT)

ShoutWiki Wiki Creation Limit

I understand only five can be made per account for Google Rankings reasons, but will that be changed someday? I want to really help create wikis there to make it a match against Wikia. Gazlene the Pork Girl 18:29, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

Hi. Firstly, messages relating to ShoutWiki should be left on my ShoutWiki talk page(s). Secondly, the limit is there to stop users from creating hundreds of wikis which are empty and useless. It is hard to work on more than five wikis at the same time. The Solar Dragon 03:16, 26 April 2013 (EDT)

I do understand. Wikia allows millions to be created and it turns out that ninety-seven percent of their wikis are inactive. Gazlene the Pork Girl 11:00, 26 April 2013 (EDT)
