Talk pages

It seems a little pointless making talk pages for user sandboxes. :/ | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 18:17, November 15, 2013 (EST)

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 08:18, May 1, 2014 (EDT)

m1

Dear Fred, where the information about m1 came from? I'm pretty sure channel m1 never aired Simpson episodes. -- (Gabor) 2F13 (talk) 14:14, August 18, 2014 (EDT)

Honestly, I can't tell you. I perhaps got it mixed up with another channel. Sorry. :P --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 07:19, August 19, 2014 (EDT)

Thanks. :) In this case I'm brave enough to delete. -- (Gabor) 2F13 (talk) 13:23, August 19, 2014 (EDT)

Urm...

I made a new section on the notability policy for crossovers. I decided that characters not in the template shouldn't get articles as they were 1) non-speaking and 2) not focused on by the camera. The reason being is that if these were Simpsons characters instead, they would be against the notability policy as 1) their name isn't mentioned in the episode 2) they were non-speaking and 3) they were background characters. I'm not sure whether we should keep them or not at the moment, we may need to open a discussion... The Solar Dragon 03:39, October 2, 2014 (EDT)

Sigh, I was not informed. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 03:42, October 2, 2014 (EDT)

Oh, and are you on IRC? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 03:48, October 2, 2014 (EDT)

No, my Uni's Internet doesn't hold up well with IRC running. I constantly lose connection. The Solar Dragon 03:57, October 2, 2014 (EDT)

Not even by http://webchat.freenode.net/ ? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 04:07, October 2, 2014 (EDT)

"Let's Go Fly a Coot/Appearances"

Hi Fred. How do you know that Grampa is going to be in the Let's Go Fly a Coot episode? I think that as of today, we only know the title and the production code from that episode. Thanks. / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 11:46, October 16, 2014 (EDT)

"Coot" as in an old man—Homer's Paternity Coot is an example. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 01:07, October 17, 2014 (EDT)

But there are several old men in The Simpsons. But Grampa is the most probable to be who "Coot" refers to. / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 09:41, October 17, 2014 (EDT)

You Were Right! / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 11:03, October 17, 2014 (EDT)

Thanks, I probably shouldn't of made an assumption anyway. :P --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 18:10, October 17, 2014 (EDT)

Gang leader

Tapped Out has his name as "Moog". He should be referred to that on the wiki as there's no other official name. The Solar Dragon 05:06, October 21, 2014 (EDT)

Thanks, Solar. I'm on it. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 05:08, October 21, 2014 (EDT)

Oh, we also have official artwork from Tapped Out too. The Solar Dragon 05:10, October 21, 2014 (EDT)

I see. Thank you, again. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 05:11, October 21, 2014 (EDT)

Kang and Kodos

Could you make the changes to their articles please? I just moved them, nothing more. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 04:29, November 12, 2014 (EST)

Will do. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 04:30, November 12, 2014 (EST)

I have added a little bit more information now. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 04:43, November 12, 2014 (EST)

Facebook updates

Hey Frederick, thanks for keeping Facebook updated. Just one thing, could you perhaps wait later to post the updates, or stick them on timer? Timing it for when people in the Americas are awake? They are usually our biggest target after all. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 12:31, November 12, 2014 (EST)

Thanks, I will do my best. I try to update the page daily. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 16:44, November 12, 2014 (EST)

Admin Request

Hi, I want to nominate you as an administrator. You have been here a while, you are not semi-active, you are editing the Facebook page. Do you accept my nomination?/AleWi (talk) 07:56, November 14, 2014 (EST)

Thanks a lot, AleWi. I do accept the nomination. Thanks, again. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 08:37, November 14, 2014 (EST)

Congratulations, admin

Your RfA passed and you're now an admin. :) The Solar Dragon 10:18, November 28, 2014 (EST)

Thank you everyone who voted for me! :) --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 15:52, November 28, 2014 (EST)

Spam deletions

Quick note about deleting spam articles: Please blank the contents of the "Other/additional reason" window before you do the actual deletion. For two reasons ...

1. There's no need to have the beginning of the contents of the article display in the Recent Changes page. You passed your Admin nomination; one of the things that means is that we trust your judgement in identifying spam articles, so there's no need to leave a "paper trail".
2. Blanking the contents of the window ensures that the spammer's crap doesn't remain on the wiki for even one instant longer than necessary, not even in the form of a "ghost" on the Recent Changes page.

You can select the entire contents of the "Other/additional reason" window by triple-clicking anywhere inside the window. There is also a script that selects the contents of the window as soon as you arrive on the Delete screen. If you want to use the script, drop Solar a line and he can tell you how to set it up. Thanks and happy Admining ... -- Mythigator (talk) 08:11, November 29, 2014 (EST)

You can also copy the code on User:Solar Dragon/common.js into your own common.js. This will automatically blank it. The Solar Dragon 08:20, November 29, 2014 (EST)

Also, when blocking Spam IPs don't make it infinite. (Wow, this makes me remember when I received these messages on my talk page when I became an admin a few months ago). And, Congratulations on becoming an Admin! / Loco87 ^{( / Contribs)} 10:28, November 29, 2014 (EST)

Thank you. I'll do my best. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 17:35, November 29, 2014 (EST)

Episode Scripts

Hey Fred. I've just uploaded to Wikisimpsons' Google Drive some episode scripts I've found through the net. They are mainly the scripts from all the season 25 episodes (except from SABF18-The Yellow Badge of Cowardge) and a couple more scripts from other seasons I've found. There might be useful information in those scripts. You may want to look them. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 09:59, December 14, 2014 (EST)

Thanks, Loco. I'll take a look at that soon. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 20:40, December 14, 2014 (EST)

Orphans

Hello, since you've been working through a lot of orphaned pages, I thought I'd tell you something that might help, especially as we're getting to merchandise on the list. If you can make a navbox out of similar stuff, do it. I just made one for Toiletries for example. Although some things might be hard to link to. Hopefully, between us, we could work stuff out. The Solar Dragon 14:08, December 16, 2014 (EST)

Yeah, I'll work things out, Solar. Thanks. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 20:54, December 16, 2014 (EST)

Oh, Solar. Do you think we should have a "Miscellaneous merchandise" template? Because a lot of those orphan merchandise pages will never have a link to another page. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 08:22, December 17, 2014 (EST)

That is something I had considered, yeah. So, might as well go for it. The Solar Dragon 08:27, December 17, 2014 (EST)

Would you possibly be able to do it as I have to go to sleep? If not, I'll just do it in the morning. Thanks. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 08:32, December 17, 2014 (EST)

Sorry, not right now. Coursework, stress, packing, cleaning, trying not to overload and shut down. Just a couple more days then relaxation! The Solar Dragon 08:33, December 17, 2014 (EST)

Okay, I'll have to do it later today as I have a busy day ahead. Also, I can't believe how many likes, shares, and views we got on that post on Facebook! :O --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 20:16, December 17, 2014 (EST)

South Park Wiki

Hey Frederick,

Remember how you offered to edit South Park Wiki? Well you are welcome to help out. I don't like to advertise, but I just remembered how you said you would edit there if I would like.

Feel free to, but I'm warning you that the templates are pretty ugly. DX

Merry X-mas! Gazlene the Pork Girl (talk) 11:43, December 25, 2014 (EST)

Thanks, I'll try and help out. Have a great Christmas. :) --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 22:24, December 25, 2014 (EST)

Merry (late) Christmas & happy Boxing Day! :D Gazlene the Pork Girl (talk) 11:05, December 26, 2014 (EST)

Wikisimpsons:The Simpsons Movie Appearances

can you please finish the auditions. We've been waiting 8 days> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.107.203 (talk)

Krusty Doll

Hi Fred,
I have been working hard on the Krusty Doll article and would like to know if I can remove the 'stub' notice. And if you would like, I would appreciate any feedback on how it is coming along (remember there is still a lot left). Thanks and have a great day! --Mcdude man (talk) 08:20, December 30, 2014 (EST)

Hello Mcdude man, the article is coming along great. A lot more needs to be added and I would say leave the stub template there until you add a "history" section to the page. Oh, and, by the way, you don't need to ask admins if you need to perform edits like this in the future. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 10:22, December 30, 2014 (EST)

References in TMWCTBD

Hi, I have an exam today then I'm heading to my dad's for the week. I'll be unable to do much about the latest episode. There were numerous sci-fi references in the episode so would you be able to add them to the articles? Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, Alien... there were quite a few. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 06:05, January 5, 2015 (EST)

I'll try my best. :) --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 06:13, January 5, 2015 (EST)

Michael D'Amico in TMWCTBD

Hi Frederick! I don't mean to sound so nit-picky >_< but was Michael really in the episode? I did notice there was a little boy with Fat Tony at the park, but he looked rather different from his original design that I didn't think it was him (but he did have the same body type and clothes). I would be sooooo happy if it really was Michael, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions heh... Mrs JohnnyTightlips (talk) 17:17, January 5, 2015 (EST)

It is not Michael. Look the image! / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 17:53, January 5, 2015 (EST)

That was what I thought initially, which is why I was surprised to see Michael added onto Appearances. Oh well, one can always dream! :( Mrs JohnnyTightlips (talk) 18:08, January 5, 2015 (EST)

I wouldn't have a clue I was thinking he may have changed. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 21:32, January 5, 2015 (EST)

Actually Frederick, would you be able to re-add Michael onto Appearances? I tweeted Al Jean and he confirmed that it was indeed Michael! :D (Also, how do you cite a Twitter tweet?) Mrs JohnnyTightlips (talk) 02:24, January 6, 2015 (EST)

Book

Could you tell me what the pink book is named? The book is before "Scoundrel Goes West" , which is aswell before "A" Is for Scoundrel".—Preceding unsigned comment added by Vilius (talk • contribs) 01:01, February 27, 2015‎ (EST)

Hmmm... I can't make out what it says, possibly "Scoundrel Radix". Sorry if that isn't of any help. —Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 02:05, February 27, 2015 (EST)

I think it says "Red" at start... possibly "redux"?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Vilius (talk • contribs) 04:16, February 27, 2015‎ (EST)

Okay it's "Scoundrel Redux" - someone have already even made a page for it. But what the pink book after "Scoundrel Goes West" is named? I'd say something like "Hicher _____ Scoundrel". I can't see clearly the middle word at all. What do you think the book is named?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Vilius (talk • contribs) 04:53, February 27, 2015‎ (EST)

Oh, lol. I'm thinking "Scoundrel vs. Hitler", haha. —Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 07:52, February 27, 2015 (EST)

That "Hicher" bit looks like "Hickory" to me... (Which would lead me to suggest the middle word is "Dickory", but that's guesswork.) Try asking Solar if the names are listed in Simpsons World. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 10:29, February 27, 2015 (EST)

Site not safe?

hey, firefox says that the site is not safe and to add an exception to access it. do you know what's going on? LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 20:39, April 11, 2015 (EDT)

Crew articles

Hi, some crew members, like Jane Becker for example, work on every episode until they leave the show. Therefore, since Jane Becker didn't work until the end of season 26, she is inactive. The Solar Dragon 08:16, August 29, 2015 (EDT)

I was actually thinking that, thanks for the heads up. —Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 08:18, August 29, 2015 (EDT)

Source for an airdate

Hi Fred, which is the source for Halloween of Horror airing on October 18? Could you add it to the article and to season 27's article? Thanks. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 07:26, September 17, 2015 (EDT)

Done. —Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 08:13, September 17, 2015 (EDT)

Oh yeah, Loco, could you also add those episodes to the "EpisodePrevNext" templates? I can't stand doing it. Cheers. —Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 08:19, September 17, 2015 (EDT)

Done. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 09:47, September 17, 2015 (EDT)

Credits

Hi, it might be best to wait for a bit before creating new crew articles. It's very likely they'll serve that job for most if not all of the next production series after all. I'd suggest waiting until the mid-season break. The Solar Dragon 06:09, December 7, 2015 (EST)

Okay, thanks for letting me know. —Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 06:17, December 7, 2015 (EST)

Profile pictures

How do you exactly add a profile picture to your account like you did Wendell Borton (talk) 19:56, January 18, 2020 (EST)

Image sources

Hi, when uploading images, can you add a link to the place you got the image from in the licensing template, i.e. {{Image fairuse|URL}} please? I'd like to make sure all images are sourced back to the original uploads. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 16:02, May 19, 2020 (EDT)

File:Lolee Aries.png

Hi, could you add the URL of the image source for this image into the Image fairuse template? I tried a search but can't find it. The Solar Dragon 06:56, April 19, 2022 (EDT)

Source added. Permission was granted for another wiki, but I'm sure it's fine here as well. —Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 07:19, April 19, 2022 (EDT)
