Dear User, I recently received a message from simpsonspedia saying, "please say your guys, that they shouldn't steal grabpics from simpsonspedia.net!". Now besides from the bad grammar and sentence structure, I guess this simpsonspedia is a German knock off of Wikisimpsons. I really don’t care where you get the pictures, but if you ever uploaded them from there just try to stay away from this website from now on. Basel17 20:56, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello

Hi, my name is Brian and I'm a new bureaucrat here. I am a regular at the normal English Wikipedia and I had noticed that this site needed another active administrator and offered my services. To my surprise, not only did the Wikia people agree but they also made me a bureaucrat. So, I figured I'd introduce myself and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. -- Brian McClure 06:09, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Writers

Hi, if you're going to create pages for the writers, could you please use the real episode names rather than the production codes? -- Brian McClure 18:55, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Could you also try to avoid intentionally linking to redirects? Generally you should always try to link directly to the article. -- Brian McClure 21:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

oh thats from wikipedia Kingcjc 16:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Copying things from Wikipedia

I would prefer that people not copy things word for word from Wikipedia but for now we need to build the wiki as much as possible, and using things from Wikipedia as a building block is a good start. In the long run, I would like to see this wiki have a lot more original content, because we don't want to just look like Wikipedia. As such, I ask that in the future you try the following:

1. Try and write an original lead. Wikipedia is done from an out of universe perspective, whereas this in-universe. So, Wikipedia's article about Flanders starts out "Ned Flanders is a fictional character in the American animated series The Simpsons". These articles do not need such introductions, so "Ned Flanders is the Simpsons religious next door neighbor is fine" is how it would start here. In other words, things like "The American animated series The Simpsons" and the like should not be in the leads.
2. Please try and copy merged/redirected/old things as much as possible. A lot of episode pages here aren't even stubs, but a good way to expand them quickly is to use old versions from pre-March 2007, like this because they contain trivia and cultural references sections, which are of more use here than production sections. As well, it doesn't look like it was copied.
3. If you copy things, remove all redlinks that will never have pages. Again, having a lot of redlinks screams "word for word Wikipedia copy" but if remove them, the articles look that much better.

So in the future, please try to remember those items. Thanks, Brian McClure 00:06, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Episode Appearances

Hey i don't mean to be a jerk bu could you please not edit the episode appearances sections? I'm doing a very thorough sweep of all the episodes and I don't want to get confused, thanks Uncle Tyrone 19:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Its a free wiki Kingcjc 20:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I know but there is so much other stuff that needs to be done in it Uncle Tyrone 20:02, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

but surely i can edit whatever i want, also im editing GAME AND COMIC APPEARANCES Kingcjc 21:01, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Adminship

I've noticed that you have been one of the most active users here as of late, so I was wondering if you were interested in being given administrator powers. I will be going away for 2 weeks starting on June 28, so somebody will have to check in on a daily basis and make sure the IPs aren't destroying the place. -- Brian McClure 20:38, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure that would be great. Also have fun on them two weeks Kingcjc 20:43, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. Use your powers wisely. -- Brian McClure 00:43, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

That's fine! I was just checking! By the way, can you fix up the redirects and page name of Pappa's Got a Brand New Badge? The correct title is definitly Papa's Got a Brand New Badge. I tried to move it but because the correct title is a redirect it won't work. Thanks. Gran2 20:02, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Response

this page explains everything. For covers, use {{image fairuse cover}}, for everything else from comic books, use {{image fairuse interior art}}. -- Brian McClure 22:04, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

thanks

Main Page Transition

Hi King!

I originally left this message for Brian McLure, but have yet to hear back from him. Seeing as you're a pretty active admin on here at the moment, the message goes on to you. :)

My name is Nathan and I'm a wikia helper with the entertainment team. We're going around helping wikis transition to the new style of main page that will be necessary to support the upcoming ads. I've created a draft of an idea for your main page in order to show the basic layout. Optimally, we'd like to get all main pages rolled over to the format as soon as possible, so feel free to use mine, or improve upon it. If you have any questions you can reach me via my talk page.

Thanks!

Re:mai page

The reason I undid your changes is because it looked really off balance. The same stuff has been there for a while, but we don't have any featured content that deserves to be featured right now, so there's no need to change it constantly. --

Simpsons Comics #149

'#' is a special character meaning 'Section', so when you put "Simpsons Comics #149" into a link, it thinks you're making a link to page Simpsons Comics, section 149. It's common for all wikis, and most places get around it by using a title like 'Simpsons Comics issue 149' or 'Simpsons Comics number 149'.

—Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 16:15, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Cool, hope you got it down now. :)

—Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 16:15, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Uploads

That's no problem, you can ask any time. The uploads are a problem at the moment, but they're being worked on and should soon be fixed. I'd try off and on today, maybe wait till tomorrow and see if it's better. If you still can't do it after 24 hours or so, message me again, and I'll see if there's an update. :)

You're no bother, that's what helpers are for. ;)

— Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 17:34, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Yea, it seems like it's getting fixed. I'm sure it won't be down long if it still is.

New Section

hey!you were suppose to welcome me retard!metroid 02:51, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Maintenance

Since you're one of the only active admins, I would like to tell you that I have gone ahead with adding [[Category:Pages in need of a category]] to all mainspace pages that lack a category. This will allow for easy navigation of pages without a category, and even keep them out of Special:UncategorizedPages. Also, I will go ahead and do a simple categorization of the uncategorized templates with [[Category:Templates]]. I will also start at removing the red linked wanted pages, and try to structure the category system. Thanks, and if you have any questions/comments/ or complaints, feel free to message me. Joey - Talk ^Contribs 01:47, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

When you are reverting vandalism, don't you block the user as well? Joey - Talk ^Contribs 03:16, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I think we should make a vandalism system where each user name and ip gets a verbal warning then a ban. If they do a really bad edit to a page an ban with no warning, what do you guys think?Sgtcook 17:32, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Sure, they way I usually follow it on Wikia wikis is that if their edit can be considered in good faith or small; in a way possible to just be a mistake, then a message would be best, but if they replace text with vandalism or do page blanking, or even just not stopping after a message, then a nice ban would work. Yet, that is just how I have lived, and I'm good with it. How about you then Kingcjc? Joey - Talk ^Contribs 00:30, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I just use whatever I think works for the situation and/or how I feel kingcjc 19:58, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh and considering that we have an extremely small community, I think it is time we make this wiki more publicly known. Ideas? And what do you think? Joey - Talk ^Contribs 06:07, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

On the same note, I talked to Sgtcook and mentioned by interest in helping out this wiki with more specific things by becoming an administrator. I know you and him are pretty much this community now, and I wanted to change that so we could expand this community. I would be able to aid in dealing with vandals by reverting, blocking, deleting, and even protecting if need be. What do you think? It's just an idea to help this wiki grow. Joey - Talk ^Contribs 12:13, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, if both of you express interest in me becoming an admin, then I could get someone to make me an admin. Just say it, and I'll get Sgtcook to do the same. Joey - Talk ^Contribs 22:19, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Please vote for my adminship on my talk page, just add it to the right section. Thank you. Joey - Talk ^Contribs 00:03, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

New Skin

Hey, a few of us went out and started designing a new skin for this wiki, and we came to a result we would be happy with as this wiki's default. I just want to get some feedback about it before implementing it, so to test it out, just go to User:Kingcjc/monaco.css and create it with this line of code:

@import "/index.php?title=User:Joeyaa/monaco.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=18000";  

Then, clear your cache (instructions are on that page) and leave me a note on what you think. Thanks. Joey - Talk ^Contribs 06:18, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Which color or background would you prefer to replace it with? It's simply based on the concept of Homer and others' mouth/jaw, but if you can find a background or choose another color I would be happy to replace it. Joey - Talk ^Contribs 06:31, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Did you find something you prefer better? Or should I search for something? I'm just eager to release this :P Joey - Talk ^Contribs 03:33, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I'll do some playing around with colours tonight.--Sgtcook 17:14, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Promotion

Hi! I've been working with Wikia's marketing manager on a cool promotional idea, and I'd love to talk to the other admins here to get some feedback. Can you drop me a line so we can talk about it? Thanks! —Scott (talk) 20:50, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Unused Images

What's our policy with unused images? Should i delete them or leave them alone? Joey - Talk ^Contribs 03:57, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
