Jaws References Page

Courtesy note: I'm adding a comic reference (with its own table) to the page. I'll also be changing the outline style a little. -- Mythigator (talk) 21:04, September 15, 2014 (EDT)

Affiliates

How did you manage to delete Wikisimpsons:Affiliates in among all the other files you deleted? The Solar Dragon 17:42, September 18, 2014 (EDT)

Ha! I now have justification for all my bot screw-ups! (Nah JK.) | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 17:43, September 18, 2014 (EDT)

Your bot mistakes weren't just simple mistakes though. I'm just curious as to how the page ended up in a list of files that was deleted. The Solar Dragon 17:46, September 18, 2014 (EDT)

I really don't know how. I deleted the files on the Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. I'm really astonished. When I was Deleting the Files (with AWB) I didn't see any page on the list of pages with the prefix Wikisimpsons:, they were all files. But Now I've seen in the page logs section of the Control Panel (on AWB) that I did delete it. But I seriously don't remember that. I think I'm not gonna use AWB for page deleting (again). By the way, Solar could you actually use your Bot for deleting the Orphaned Talk Pages? / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 10:52, September 19, 2014 (EDT)

Yes, I will do. I would also suggest using your bot to delete files too. I can give it admin privileges. The Solar Dragon 12:12, September 19, 2014 (EDT)

That would be great. And it will also be great if you could tell me how to do mass deletions with AWB. (I haven't used that program before. I started using it about two weeks ago.) Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loco87 (talk • contribs) 16:18, September 19, 2014

Actually, you can't do that with AWB... I use Pywikipediabot for mass deletions. It's a completely different software that uses Command Prompt. It's more complicated to use as a result. The Solar Dragon 17:01, September 19, 2014 (EDT)

Well, doesn't matter; I'll make the deletions one-by-one as fast as I can. And they won't flood recent changes. Thanks! / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 17:08, September 19, 2014 (EDT)

Tapped Out costumes image

Hey, are you able to update File:Costumes.png with all the new costumes please? Thanks, The Solar Dragon 09:27, September 21, 2014 (EDT)

Yes, I am. But it will take me some time! / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 13:04, September 21, 2014 (EDT)

Answers

Hello, I've been really busy recently. Any chance you can answer the 6 questions that need to be answered please? Thanks, The Solar Dragon 09:20, September 29, 2014 (EDT)

HD Images without watermarks

I'm not particularly interested in the HD episodes (only up to 1997 & 1998-2000 episodes are mediocre), but I'm curious on do how you capture the HD episode images without their watermarks, in spite of them not having an official release outside of TV? By the way, the sitenotice is out of date (Season 26 started yesterday). Gazlene the Pork Girl (talk) 13:44, September 29, 2014 (EDT)

I downloaded the episode about four minutes after it had ended on Fox(I also watched it by streaming). I downloaded it using a program called "Torrent"(but there are some episodes that I download by Direct Download) and then I use a video player called "VLC Video Player" which allows you to make screenshots of the video you are watching. And I think that even they haven't had a DVD or Blu-Ray release, there are some other ways in which the episodes are officially released like Hulu.com, iTunes, ... Hope that satisfied your curiosity / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 14:01, September 29, 2014 (EDT)

Don't you hate it when people on YouTube say: "All rights go to FOX" when they upload a scarce commercial or such, but then it gets deleted? YouTube sucks (which I why I archive these things). Anyway, I use VLC media player too. You did satisfy my mind, thanks. I hope I'm a help to this wiki. (and I also stream, and I always buy the legit thing in the end.)Gazlene the Pork Girl (talk) 14:15, September 29, 2014 (EDT)

Licenses from crossovers

Hey Loco, I just contributed images from The Simpsons Guy. However, on the licensing is there a way to put that it is from a crossover instead of an episode or the movie or not? Or should it just be the normal episode or movie screenshot license? Let me know, thank you EMarin121 (talk) 24:19, October 20, 2014 (EDT)

As we treat "The Simpsons Guy" like a "Special Episode" (because it is a Family Guy episode) you just have to put this:

== Licensing ==
{{Image Fox|The Simpsons Guy|special=yes}}

Hope that helped. / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 13:01, October 20, 2014 (EDT)

Undoing changes by 50.77.13.212

During October, 50.77.13.212 did some changes to the List of Deleted Scenes. I can see that you reverted some of them but not all. The person also added this and this. Are you convinced that these changes are valid? Normann (talk) 17:26, November 2, 2014 (EST)

I haven't seen the deleted scenes he/she/it has edited, so I can't be sure what it has added is true. I would have to do a little research of deleted scenes to know whether what it has added it's true or not. / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 18:13, November 2, 2014 (EST)

Missing deleted scenes?

While I'm here, I thought I might ask you another question: I've added all deleted scenes from the Season 13 BD set to List of Deleted Scenes. Two of the scenes that were previously listed from season 13 are not found among the deleted scenes on the discs in the set. Should I just keep them or delete them? They were added by an anonymous user that made a lot of changes to the page but no summary was entered so we can't see from where that person had the information. The list he made for Season 13 was never complete. Normann (talk) 17:26, November 2, 2014 (EST)

If there are not on the discs they probably are not actual Season 13 deleted scenes. I will look over those scenes tomorrow. / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 18:09, November 2, 2014 (EST)

A couple of things

Hello, you've probably noticed I'm not as active lately. I've been going through some personal things. I've changed my status to semi-active and I won't be around as much for the foreseeable future, although I'll still visit daily.

I just have a couple of favors to ask you. 1) Could you keep the main page updated. We need a new featured poll, and I didn't archive the discussions and add the new featured stuff to the lists for this month. Could you do this? And maybe update the main page for next month too, which will need Christmas themed stuff. and 2) Wikisimpsons Answers has a bit of a backlog of questions that need accepting and answering. Can you work through those please?

Thanks, and sorry I haven't been too active. Keep up the good work, The Solar Dragon 18:16, November 7, 2014 (EST)

I will try to do the most of these things you say, but I'm going to be a little bit busy next week. But after next week I'll be more active, so no problem with the featured stuff for next month. And Tomorrow I'll try to get through all the other things because I'm too much exhausted now. Hope you can become active soon / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 19:51, November 7, 2014 (EST)

I'm sorry to hear that, Solar. Also, when available will it be possible to have a chat here, channel name #wikisimpsons, Loco? Thanks. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 23:26, November 7, 2014 (EST)

I've kept the main page updated(well, I've basically updated the Featured Poll and added the past month's Featured stuff to the lists and discussion's archive pages) and I've nominated Christmas-themed stuff for next month. I've also checked Wikisimpsons Answers and I've accepted and rejected most of the questions that needed it. I've also answered several of those questions. There are still two questions that need to be accepted or rejected 'cause I'm not so sure about if they should be accepted or not. Don't hesitate to tell me (or any other active admin or highly-trusted rollback/user) if there's anything else like this to be done. / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 11:40, November 8, 2014 (EST)

Futurama character images

Hi Loco, could you replace the Futurama main character images with their official artwork, and the secondary character images with episode images from "Simpsorama" please? Thanks, The Solar Dragon 12:38, November 10, 2014 (EST)

Re:Pork chops

You didn't have to protect it like that, I was just making a correction. I happen to know that they didn't appear in "Lisa the Vegetarian", those were lamb-chops, but Marge preparing some in the beginning in "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge", I was correct and the edit shouldn't have been reverted. --Spare-tire (talk) 21:40, November 20, 2014 (EST)

I've checked both episodes, because that's the reason I protected the page: to make sure it wasn't edited while I was checking the episodes. And the truth is that both of us were half-right because pork chops do appear in "I & S & Marge" (as you said) but also are mentioned in "Lisa the Vegetarian". I will correct the article but I will leave it protected allowing auto-confirmed users to edit it. / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 11:01, November 21, 2014 (EST)

Another thing, I don't want to be deprived of access to the comics templates. I just cut some things out because I thought it too soon for them to be listed.--Spare-tire (talk) 20:38, November 29, 2014 (EST)

Have you read AleWi's edit summary after undoing your edits? He said that if the comics are confirmed, they should be on the list/template just like we do with episodes. That's why they should be listed even if it's too soon. / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 20:55, November 29, 2014 (EST)

New image and new re-uploads please?

Hi Loco87! Please, upload a new image, which is this:

File:Brother's Little Helper - Bart.png

A scene from this episode, Bart appears in underwear, running on treadmill, so, please, upload a image from that scene. The image is for the article List of nudity and semi-nudity.

Also, please, re-upload a new version of these images that contains the category low quality images added:

• File:My Fair Laddy - The Invisible Man.png
• File:Treehouse of Horror XVII - Invisible Carl Carlson.png
• File:The Invisible Nerd! - Invisible Professor Frink.png

Greetings! --201.248.226.128 22:19, November 20, 2014 (EST)

I will try to re-upload them as soon as I'm able to do so. And please try no to do this again Barthony. I told you to just add the low quality images category to the images you think that could be re-uploaded in a higher quality 'cause I check Recent Changes and the Low Quality Images category page daily. Well, I tend to check more Recent Changes than Low Quality Images, but if you add the category to the files using HotCat, I'll see it on Recent Changes. But the point is that if you don't want to be blocked permanently (by Solar, by me or by any other admin) or to get your IPs blocked too you should not ask me (in my talk page) to re-upload better quality versions of some pictures, just "ask" me without "asking" me, in other words, do what I've said (to just add the category). / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 10:23, November 21, 2014 (EST)

How many times have I told you to stop asking Loco to upload images? Add the low quality images category then don't say anything more. Someone will get around to it eventually! Stop being so bloody obvious, or I will block you permanently. I will also block any IP I suspect of being you too. The Solar Dragon 10:57, November 21, 2014 (EST)

The image was originally to be uploaded by me, but it turns out I'm locked and I can't upload new images. Why Solar? Why you punish me so? On Christmas' eve. Would have reduced the locking time. I swear, I will never violate the Wikisimpsons policies anymore. 6 months is a long time.!!! =(

And I'm sorry for evade the blockade. --201.248.226.22 13:36, November 21, 2014 (EST)

That right there... yeah, the comment you just left, THAT violated the policies! I'm keeping an eye on your IP. ONE more edit from that IP, or similar ones, will result in your account being infinitely blocked, and your IP being range blocked. The Solar Dragon 13:43, November 21, 2014 (EST)

Springfield Shopper ads

Hi Loco, could you try and get clear images of the Springfield Shopper ads from Covercraft? There seems to be some gags there, and references (I noticed B Sharps and Sadgasm mentioned) and it'd be easier to see if it's fully clear. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 08:52, November 24, 2014 (EST)

I've uploaded the images in Imgur 'cause I thought they might be useless if they were uploaded here. / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 21:42, November 29, 2014 (EST)

That first one at least could go on the Springfield Shopper page. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 00:43, November 30, 2014 (EST)

Image request

Hello Loco, could you please upload the image where Homer purchases all of those products in Guitar Central from "Covercraft"? It would help me out a lot. Thanks! --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 02:52, November 28, 2014 (EST)

Do you mean this one? / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 10:21, November 28, 2014 (EST)

Yes, thanks a lot! --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 15:52, November 28, 2014 (EST)

Change of air dates

Hello, I have updated the air dates on "Bart's New Friend" and "The Musk Who Fell to Earth". However, I'm busy for the next couple of days and can't make the other changes to articles. Could you do these please? Thanks, The Solar Dragon 08:57, December 17, 2014 (EST)

Don't worry, I'm doing it now. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 09:49, December 17, 2014 (EST)

Simpsons Comics Presents Bart & Co.

Hello Loco! As the current Bart & Co. page is protected by you, I thought I'd ask your permission on this first. Could we change the name 'Bart & Co.' to it's full name 'Simpsons Comics Presents Bart & Co.', to match the other Simpsons Comics Presents pages?

Let me know if you agree or not. Thanks, JThomas (talk) 10:25, December 20, 2014 (EST)JThomas

Yes, we should rename the page. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 14:16, December 20, 2014 (EST)

I personally believe we should axe the "Simpsons Comics Presents" bit and just make the full title redirect to the shorter ones. The Solar Dragon 14:18, December 20, 2014 (EST)

That's a good way of having more visitors 'cause that would make more results when web searching Simpsons Comics series. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 14:21, December 20, 2014 (EST)

I agree with Solar. I also think that it looks nicer with our the "Simpsons Comics Presents" bit. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 20:43, December 20, 2014 (EST)

I agree too. Looks nicer, and we should also redirect the titles with the "Simpsons Comics Presents" bit to the short ones (as Solar previously said). / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 05:30, December 21, 2014 (EST)

Bart Simpson in US was also called Simpsons Comics presenters Bart Simpson in the earl years. /AleWi (talk) 05:47, December 21, 2014 (EST)

It's not really the name of the comic. We don't call Itchy and Scratchy episodes "Itchy and Scratchy in: Episode name", do we? We just call it by the episode name. Therefore, we should do the same for these. The Solar Dragon 05:51, December 21, 2014 (EST)

The same for "Bart Simpson in: Comic name", we only use the "comic name"./AleWi (talk) 05:56, December 21, 2014 (EST)

Userbox

The reason I did not leave it like that is because it does not look good. I rather it be side by side images, which seems impossible (I spent a while trying to get it to work...) unless you know a way. I am just a bit OCD about the two boxes being the same height (which is what they were). Mcdude man (talk) 14:25, December 23, 2014 (EST)

Wikisimpsons:The Simpsons Movie Appearances

its been 8 days. can you please add more characters.finish the auditions.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Homer24 (talk • contribs)

I am not going to be able to do so in the next days as I'm not at home these days and I don't have a strong enough internet connection so I will only be able to do little or minor edits. But if in January next year(circa the second week of January) the characters are yet to be added to the page I'll do it. Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 08:36, December 28, 2014 (EST)

Picard and Kirk

Where did you get the names of the children? Also, you should probably add to the Behind the Laughter sections that they're named after the Star Trek characters. Too much of a coincidence for me that their names are those. The Solar Dragon 17:09, December 30, 2014 (EST)

I got them from the "Days of Future Future" script(the one in the wiki's Drive account) and I also asked Al Jean about them in Twitter to confirm it. Then I totally forgot to rename the articles until today. :P Also, I don't know much about Star Trek so I wouldn't have figured out the reference. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 17:30, December 30, 2014 (EST)

Never watched Star Trek myself, but I know the characters as I'm a huge Sci Fi fan and often hear references in other Sci Fi shows lol. Kirk is from the original series and Picard is from The Next Generation. The Solar Dragon 17:37, December 30, 2014 (EST)

TMWCTBD sketches

Hey, there is some sketches here that should probably go under Production for the episode. Can you upload them please? The Solar Dragon 16:50, January 3, 2015 (EST)

I'm on it right now! / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 16:59, January 3, 2015 (EST)

TMWCTBD images

Hi, I've uploaded a couple more screenshots which could do with better quality replacements. They're now in the image category. Also, could you upload all the end credit images please, to be used in the Star Trek article? Thanks, The Solar Dragon 15:51, January 6, 2015 (EST)

Sorry to be a pain, but I think the credits would be better as separate images rather than one big image. They'd be more clear that way. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 17:01, January 6, 2015 (EST)

Done! / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 17:30, January 6, 2015 (EST)

Hi Loco87, how did you get a higher quality image on this image https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/File:BartsNewFriend_-_Maggie.png ? FatHomer^Talk 12:45, January 13, 2015 (EST)

I just uploaded the screenshot I had taken of the episode in 1080p(I downloaded it with Torrent). / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 16:00, January 13, 2015 (EST)

How did you take the screenshot? I used VLC. FatHomer^Talk 16:02, January 13, 2015 (EST)

Me too. I relised you already had uploaded a high quality version once I had just uploaded mine. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 16:36, January 13, 2015 (EST)

Okay, thank you for taking your time to reply :) FatHomer^Talk 17:09, January 13, 2015 (EST)

Commonly recurring locations

Hi, if you can't find a source for an image of a commonly recurring location, I'd suggest just reuploading an image from an episode you do know and adding that as the source. Most exterior shots are the same anyway so it shouldn't matter. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 16:15, January 22, 2015 (EST)

I just added the {{NoImageSource}} template to those images that appear in a few episodes or that I knew I actually wouldn't be able to reupload versions of them from other episodes. By the way, I recently broke my Computer's Hard Disk by accident where I had lots of high-quality episodes of the show. Fortunately, there's an other computer in my house, in which I had some episodes, and the source where I downloaded the episodes from doesn't work now, and some Torrents are so slow... But there's nothing to worry about. I'm slowly getting those episodes back. I'll be reuploading lots of better quality images very soon. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 18:09, January 22, 2015 (EST)

How could you accidentally break a hard disk? lol. No worries. Just upload images when you can. I'll continue adding them to the category. There's no rush to upload them. The Solar Dragon 18:23, January 22, 2015 (EST)

Let's say that trying to fix a computer by hitting it is not a very good idea. I was tired and I completely forgot about switching it off and then on again ('cause that fixes everything for some reason("Simpsorama")). I have some episodes in my computer (the one that works) and I also have the Simpsons Classics DVDs. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 18:38, January 22, 2015 (EST)

Exit Through the Kwik-E-Mart/Gags images

Hi, I started adding the images from the couch gag from Exit Through the Kwik-E-Mart/Gags to low quality images, but then thought it'd be easier for you if I didn't, less work. If you still have access to this episode and when you get round to uploading images from it, could you remember to reupload every image from that page please? Thanks, The Solar Dragon 06:10, January 28, 2015 (EST)

Redirections

Hi, Loco! I'have noticed that we are working against each other. I spent several hours with eliminating redirections. However it seems you are loving them -- Gabor 2F13 (talk) 07:22, February 1, 2015 (EST)
