Spam Blog Comments

Hi, I have noticed that you have posted some unneeded spam comments that are totally useless purely to get the badge. Please refrain from doing this in future. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:28, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Poll

Just to note, you spelt Groundskeeper Willie wrong. I can't change it myself due to being your user page. Just thought you should know. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:52, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked

You have been blocked for one month for adding fake season 22 episodes to the wikia. Once your block is complete, you are welcome to continue editing at the site. -- Brian McClure 23:27, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, on further inspection, although you created the pages Kung Fu Simpson, The Marge Strikes Back: Part 1 and The Marge Strikes Back: Part 2, they were first added to the season 22 page by an IP. [1]

So I have unblocked you. But, consider this a strong warning, do not create pages unless you know for sure they exist. Especially with "new" episodes. The IP added a "source", so all you had to do was check it to confirm that it was nonsense. -- Brian McClure 23:36, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Signature

Come on IRC and tell me your password when I ask for it and then I will have a look to see why your signature is not working. Only if you want to of course. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 20:11, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Response

In response to this comment: "IPs have IRCed saying they are scared. Even MY IP was blocked by this guy. Admins can be strict, but not this strict."

You were not blocked for no reason. You were blocked because you created three pages for fake episodes. I was a bit hasty in blocking you, I admit that, and I later discovered that an IP had originally added the titles. However, you should have known better. You should have double checked first (The IP even left a source, which could have easily been checked). Was I wrong in blocking you? Yes. Did I randomly block you for no reason? No. -- Brian McClure 17:29, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Spaces in credit pages

Hello. I just wanted to tell you that you don't have to leave such big spaces in credit pages. You just have to write a <br> after the bold sentences ("written by", "directed by", etc.) — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 16:28, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Caterer

Mmmm... if you edited a cast and crew page then it should have worked. Try doing it again. :) — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 16:36, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

I discovered it! Dan Castellaneta is categorized as "Cast members", not "cast and crew". I added the category now. Edit the page and you'll get the badge. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 16:41, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, as it turns out, the badges don't include subcategories. There isn't a master "cast and crew" category that lists everything (unlike episodes, characters and locations), but there probably should be. -- Brian McClure 16:47, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Spamming articles

Making edits like this is completely unacceptable. If you see something you think is odd, then you remove it. You don't add "This is odd" after it. Please do not make edits like that just so you can get a badge. -- Brian McClure 17:41, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Anyreason for creating the Talk:Marge vs. the Monorail/Credits page with just "????????" Kingcjc 19:39, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

You seem to have missed the point of the badges. They are meant to encourage users to work in places they might not otherwise. Instead, you've essentially spammed a bunch of articles, just so you can get some silly badges which have no real meaning.

Examples (and this is just from the last hour):

• [2] Switching the link to Bart's page to "Bartholomew JoJo Simpson", seemingly for no reason.
• [3] Inserting an ampersand in a proper sentence, once again, seemingly for no reason.
• [4] Then reverting it.
• [5] Inserting a bunch of broken links, ie. "Two Lips

These may seem minor, but I've seen a lot of edits like this from you. And, because of mistake filled edits like this, the rest of us have to clean up after you (or, even worse, nobody will notice and they'll remain in). Please try to clean up your editing habits, because we edit so we can improve the site, and stuff like that does not improve it. -- Brian McClure 21:02, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Featured Article nominations

Hi, the rules state you can only nominate one article a month. Please do not nominate any more this month. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 09:36, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Rollback

I couldn't help but notice that you haven't edited since your rollback request. I was a bit harsh in my comnments, and I hope you don't leave. Yes, you've made some questionable edits, and at times it seems like you're main concern is earning badges, but you have made lots of good ones as well. I really hope you use this as motivation to improve your editing skills, so that the next time you request rollback, I can be happy to support. If you need any help or advice, feel free to ask myself or Solar or Smiley or Kingcjc. -- Brian McClure 23:34, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Simpsonington Post

What's "TreehouseOfBiscuit solo for now"? I'm intrigued. Can I use the order thing to get it?TreehouseOfBiscuit 17:42, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Did you notice the post on my talk page?TreehouseOfBiscuit 15:20, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Points

Hi, I think there may be something wrong with the points at the moment. I counted up how many you should have and I worked it out as 1770, excluding the second lucky edit badge. I'm not sure if my maths is right on this, I used excel. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 09:02, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

It is 1770 or 1760. Most likley 1760. I only have 1040, so I am missing 720 points.TheSimpsons ^Talk 09:05, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I did the maths again and i think I am right. I have contacted Wikia about it. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 09:07, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
