User talk:Wilhelmina Will

I am a new account member. Hello everyone! In case you were wondering, I am the one who's been requesting the changes of, the repairments of, and the additions of images of the characters. I still have yet to learn how to do this. Could one of you account members with more experience please explain to me how this can be accomplished? That would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome!
Hi Wilhelmina Will and welcome to South Park Wiki!

Unfortunately the site is a bit of a ghost town with little active users. So this means that any contributions you give will be much appreciated.

By the way, if you have any queries please tell me, such as your idea about images. If you're wondering how to add images of your own, we request that you use them from only sites such as South Park Studios and Comedy Central since these images are much more accurate. When you have it saved on your computer/laptop you can then upload it. Uploading images is easy and will become a much quicker process once you get used to it. First, you click on "Upload file". This link can be found here or by looking at the key on the left hand side on the page, it's near the bottom of the key. You then click on browse and your computer files will come up (much like opening a document on wordpad). The name of your document should come up next to the browse icon. If you're not satisfied with the name, change it. Then add a short description of the picture. For example, if it is a screenshot from the episode Fantastic Easter Special you would add: Screenshot from episode 1105: Fantastic Easter Special. You may also add in what website you used to get it from, but please use an official site! I'm not 100% sure about File Destination but I'm quite sure it explains about the file links it came from on your computer/laptop.

Anyway, happy editing and good luck!

Thank you very much!!! I'll get to that ASAP!!!

Lack of potential images!
Well, I tried taking your advice, but I'm afraid there was one major problem... there were no useful images available! Of course, I only tried the South Park Studios site, and not the Comedy Central site, but you would have thought they'd have had something. In particular, you see, I was trying to find one for Sally, but I couldn't even see anything mentioned about her. I'll go and try the Comedy Central site now, and then I'll write in if I had any luck. If I say I didn't, could you please tell me how I might be able to get the desired images off of these sites? Thank you very much!

Well you don't have to worry. I finally managed to get an abundance of images. I wasn't entirely satisfied with each and every one of them, though, but I did at least get the job done. The articles for (Leopold Stotch, Craig, Jimmy Vulmer, Sally, Mr. and Mrs. McCormick, Mr. and Mrs. Tweek, Millie, and Bebe Stevens) look much better now, no?

Wilhelmina Will 1:52 a.m. June 11th, 2007.

Yes, I've had the same problem with getting pictures. Anyway, the other option I forgot to mention (huge apology on this one) is that you can take screenshots from episodes. Sorry about that! The pages look much cleaner now. Get back to me if there are any more queries, I'll be happy to help! Mr. Garrison 17:48, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:Administration
As a matter of fact, I got this through putting a complaint about a user who was a vandal/sockpuppet. The administrator then made me and User:Lemniwinks admin. You have deffinetely shown dedication and I will recommed you. The first message on my talk page is about my administration. By the way, I totally agree: always reply on the other person's talk page. I have had many problems with not realising there have been replies! Mr. Garrison 17:31, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

The plain images are from a program called South Park create-a-character. It can be found on South Park Studios. By the way I think I put a message on your userpage by accident - :/ Mr. Garrison 18:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Sadly, that's the curse of create-a-character. It's easy and quick but not accurate enough, that's why I suggest you have a root around SP studios, I'm sure they'll have an image somewhere :) By the way, thanks for the character pages they're looking good! If we had more up to scratch articles like them this Wikia could start to function better! Mr. Garrison 17:10, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I would believe they screenshotted it and altered the settings after pasting it and making it into a jpg format. Kinda confusing, that's why I don't use it. Anyway, you could always try but it's a long ol' process. Mr. Garrison 15:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, the only other way is by using good ol' fashion screenshots from episodes or have a root around on SP studios. I'll upload some screens soon! :) Mr. Garrison 18:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, do you have a DVD program that allows the viewing of DVDs on a computer such as PowerDVD? Mr. Garrison 09:38, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

There should be a camera icon, this will take a screenshot. Paste the screenshot into a document and change the format to bmp (paintbrush). Then paste the picture into an image of jpg format and then you have a screenshot! Mr. Garrison 17:01, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:Episode pages
As a matter of fact, I created all the pages from Summer Sucks to The Red Badge of Gayness (apart from Rainforest Schmainforest) and the majority of season eleven. I totally agree with you and will begin with Are You There God? It's me, Jesus. Mr. Garrison 15:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for late response!
I really must apologise, I haven't been on the internet since last Thursday since I've been caught up in Harry Potter once more and am still reading book six, drat I know what will happen! By the way, that idea will work and is a darn good one. I'm still reading but am looking into tweaking some stuff on the main page/episode list etc so I might not be online much. Mr. Garrison 15:39, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I've been having a look through the DVDs, find some good ol' screenshots of characters on their own. I'm probably gonna wait for Season 10 to come out, there's some good screenshots I could get from there. I've also been working on a category about page layouts such as spoilers, TBAs etc. Well, about 350 pages left then I'm back for good. By the way, still interested in being an admin? Mr. Garrison 20:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

350 pages of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that is, not Wiki pages - 350 pages would be a whole lot of work! Mr. Garrison 20:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:Administration
Before I put your name forward, take a look-see at the Admin guide (there's a link on my talk page) just so you get the basics, then I'll put your name forward and we'll see how it goes from there. Mr. Garrison 22:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay then, I'll get straight to it tomorrow. It's nearly midnight where I am! Mr. Garrison 22:53, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay then. Wish you well during your absence and hope to see you soon. Mr. Garrison 11:57, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Great! It's good to have help, and someone else to talk to! We're the only two active users! Anyway, thanks for making the efforts to get back online and I'll do all I can to keep the Wikia "kick ass!" while you're gone. Mr. Garrison 21:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Good point, season ten came out today! At long last! Have you seen season eleven yet? Mr. Garrison 22:47, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I tend to watch them online, I can't bare to miss new South Park! Anyway, I thought we should start a little project for the Season 11B launch on October 3rd. Interested? Mr. Garrison 23:00, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Season 11B Launch Project
The idea would be we redress the front page with a countdown of days to the new season (we'd start September 3rd - 1 month before). Also we'd get all articles up to date with the latest episodes as well as make sure all this year's episodes have pages. We'd also alter the front page (perhaps change the latest episodes box into a news box), and add links to websites with information on new episodes. Mr. Garrison 11:24, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Active Users
Hi, I was wondering if you could add yourself to category:active users. This will show who actually is active. The categories are going through a MAJOR cleanup and hopefully it'll make the site easier to navigate. I've got a feeling more people will come if they see just how worthwhile the site can be! Mr. Garrison 11:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Re:Deletions
That was me, I can't find a merge button and I think we should create a list for minor characters instead of too many character articles. Check out List of South Park family members! Mr. Garrison 17:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Apologies on that one, I've restored them so I can merge them, and I would hope that you will be happy to complete a list on minor characters from season 3! If you wish to retrieve anything more from Kelly/Pearl's articles, give us a shout. Thanks for the vandal info, we shan't be seeing them for quite some time; or infinite should I say? Mr. Garrison 18:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

That's a great idea, and the news of three more seasons (after season twelve) is fantastic! Season ten on DVD just arrived now, so I'm going to watch it straight away! Hopefully there'll be some good character stories coming up. The link to the season three page is here, (as I'm sure you know because of the work you've done on it - it looks much better) and I hope you could bring up to a better status than how I left it a few days prior. Thanks! Mr. Garrison 15:44, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Re:Season pages
As a matter of fact, I have made one Season Eleven, and yes that is a good idea.

In regards to my 'old friend' Flatts, I believe he only has the capabilities to edit his user page/ talk page etc. but nothing else. If he does somehow come back, well, we all know what will happen to him, :) Mr. Garrison 12:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

TV Wikia collaberation
Hi, User:Toughpigs asked if we would add the TV Wikia signpost to the bottom of the main page to make the Wikis seem like one big one instead of individual ones. Mind you, we'd have a Family Guy Wiki link on the main page, don't let Cartman know! Mr. Garrison 12:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Featured article vote
Hi! Be sure to voice your opinion on the vote for October's featured article! (It's a new thing by the way). Mr. Garrison 18:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
