New article to get your Crown

[edit]

Feel free to message my talk page if you want some help in getting a new article to WP:DYK. I'd love to help you out. Had any articles in mind that you were thinking of creating? Cirt (talk) 03:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I was wondering if you could take a look at the page. I've been pecking away at it for a week and I think it's in good form (although the reception and merchandise sections are easily the weakest parts). If there are no serious objections, I'm going to give an FAC a try in a few days. So please take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks, Scorpion0422 02:02, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Newsletter

[edit]

Yep. Thanks. WesleyDodds 00:23, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know why whenever we sent out the newsletter it appears right next to the subject line, thus messing up the formatting on talk pages and making them difficult to edit? For a demonstration of what I am talking about, compare this edit to the previous version to see how I fixed the problem on your talk page. Apparently it's always been like that, so it's nothing new. WesleyDodds 12:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is when it's posted there's a space between the section title and the newsletter script, when there should be a hard return. The space instead of the return makes the script show up on the same line as the section title, and makes it so if you try to edit any sections below the newsletter, you actually end up opening the edit page for the next section.

DYK

[edit]
Updated DYK query On 7 December, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'oh! of Homer, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Simpsons WikiProject Triple Crown

[edit]
I, Durova, am pleased to award this special edition triple crown to WikiProject The Simpsons and its hardworking volunteers. DurovaCharge! 00:15, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all your hard work, and may you wear the crowns (and donut) well. DurovaCharge! 00:15, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, you can use this one too (kinda redundant though since you've got the cooler special edition kind). Cheers, DurovaCharge! 00:46, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! Hybrid Theory is up for FAC, so please look through the article and scrutinize (or fix) anything that catches your eye. Finally, vote for the article. I hope you will help me get the article to FA. Thanks! (SUDUSER)85 05:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dumbbell Indemnity

[edit]

Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you to not let what happened on DI get you down. There are some editors who, even when well-intentioned, come off as jackasses because of the way in which they do things, or comment on things. The written word is harsh that way. You've made quite a few solid contributions to wikipedia, don't let a GA rejection (no matter how unfair it may seem) keep you from writing here. There will be other days, and other articles. Take care! Snowfire51 (talk) 23:37, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mallow.PNG)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Mallow.PNG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alt-rock newsletter

[edit]

The newsletter should be ready to go. However, I want to solve the problem with the newsletter appearing on the same line as the section title, which throws off the formatting of people's talk pages and makes it hard to edit talk sections below the newsletter. Post it only on my talk page first so we can try and correct it. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, open the section on my talk page titled "Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/R.E.M. (band)". Notice how the newsletter is there too? And if you click on the Newsletter section, the browser will say "No such section exists". The problem is that there needs to be a return instead of a space between "==WikiProject Alternative music December 2007 Newsletter==" and "{{Wikipedia:WikiProject_Alternative_music/Newsletter/December 2007}}". Try to fix the problem in your edit window (I don't know what it looks like when you'e delivering the newsletters). Replace the newsletter on my talk page with the edited one and we'll see if it works. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, it's working fine now. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:52, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"I remember I was taking a piss at a party once in this multi-urinal stall bathroom, and this guy was pissing next to me and he looks over at me pissing and starts singing 'Under the Bridge' in some twisted key and I though 'Okay.

Your question

[edit]

I'm too confused too, but Scorpion0422 (talk · contribs) is more knowledgeable about that stuff. Cirt (talk) 01:49, 7 January 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Are you talking about the album Dookie? Actually, the page requested for that day is for an episode of Lost that first airs on January 31. But oh well. My suggestion is to mention in the section that you wanted to nominate the page for that day. But if it is Dookie, there have been a few albums on the main page recently, so it might be rejected for the sake of variety. -- Scorpion0422 01:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's worth a try, you just have to wait until there are only five requests left. -- Scorpion0422 02:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll ask the video game guys and see if I can get some specific instructions. Can you give me the template for the latest version so I can show them what the problem is? --Simpsons fan 66 22:45, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You've been loved by Cirt

[edit]
Hey there! Cirt has loved you by placing a heart icon in the top-right corner of your userpage. Don't worry, it's not vandalism, but simply a small way to spread the WikiLove. If you don't really like it, feel free to revert it and make it go away, and no hard feelings; after all, it's just a small token of appreciation. If you like it, just add your name here, but again, there's no need to feel upset if you don't. Love and best wishes, Cirt (talk) 04:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CTC Vandal

We have made a list of vandals that continually vandalizes Kill Gil: Vols. 1 & 2 by changing "Christmas" to "Crime", the list can be found here.

[edit]

Hi! I just entered the Simpsons IRC channel this evening. As far as things to actually ask Oakley, I thought we could request him to critique some of our FAs (especially the episodes he was involved with), and maybe get him to recommend some good sources for criticism/analysis.

Dookie

I was pleasantly surprised to see Dookie on the main page today (I remember when in high school I made a point of memorizing the album's original release date). Do you need any help? WesleyDodds (talk) 01:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quote marks

[edit]

I don't know what Tony is referring to, but I don't believe those periods should be on the outside of the quote marks. In all three of those cases the punctuation was going with the statement itself. Unless those quotes were part of a longer sentence, they appear to be single statements quotes. If you look at the examples given at WP:PUNC, that's what they look like.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 06:33, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I would add them back because they all appear (at least to me) to be part of the quoted text and not within the WP sentence. If Tony disagrees let him explain why, because I don't think any of them were incorrect.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 06:40, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of writers

[edit]

I've thought of working on it before, but the first thing you have to do is find out if there are any reliable sources online. I think the episodes themselves are useable as sources, but a online list from a non-SNPP source would be helpful. As for the list itself, I think you should sort it alphabetically (since it is a list of writers, not a list of writers by season) and perhaps split up the table into alphabetical sections. -- Scorpion0422 22:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats! Cirt (talk) 04:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately the DVD of this episode that I own does not have any commentary on it so I can't anymore info from it into the article. I'd love to hear any other suggestions.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cloudssmrpg.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The following images also have this problem:

Thank you today for Dookie, introduced (in 2007): "Just a few days ago, about four, I saw this article of perhaps my favorite album, in horrible shape. I had many sources, so I decided to make it better. That day, I completely re wrote the article, and sent it in for a GA the next day. It passed, and since then, I have been asking a couple of different users to help me with it. After much editing of grammar, sources, pictures, and many other stuff, I believe it is ready for you guys, here at the FAC."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:09, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
