User talk:Mjr162006

Hi Matt, I can put up a request for adminship if you want, and users can decide (as it's a community everyone has their right to say). I do recommend you make a few more edits first though - just to increase chances. I'm sure you'll make a good admin, and hope that you accept this proposal. Thanks, Mr. Garrison 17:58, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * More edits? That is what I plan to do regardless. So that all sounds great. Thanks!--Matt 18:15, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I more than doubled my edit count. And I only fixed two things. I fixed all the redirects from an earlier move. Then I moved a page an fixed all the resulting redirects. There is plenty of stuff left to do. I'll make a great admin. Go ahead and put up the request for adminship. I'll keep up those edits.Matt01:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

That does sound like an idea, so yes, go ahead! But please, feel free to do things without my permission, this wiki is about everyone. There's a discussion about revamping the characters list page, and I wondered if you'd like to help me in fixing up my Portal:Characters (which I've started here) as I'm moving it to mainspace soon. Mr. Garrison 21:16, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

That would be of great use, i've tried it with the Randy image already, but first I think better quality pictures are needed as some are a bit too small. Mr. Garrison 22:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Randy image
Nice work on the Randy pic! Mr. Garrison 23:07, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Still, it is an improvement. I'm not sure about the admin logo, if people want to track an admin it might confuse them (new users, inexperienced users etc.), but you're right about the Kenny favicon, that would be good to have! Mr. Garrison 18:17, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I thought you might know how to do that :( Mr. Garrison 16:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what to do with it, isn't someone from wikia going to sort it? Mr. Garrison 17:56, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

thank you
Thanks, i'll do anything to be a help! --Kennydude 17:25, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Characters
It's up, and I've nominated List of Characters for deletion. Mr. Garrison 14:59, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I caught that.—Matt (talk) 15:05, November 14, 2008 (UTC)

Red link copies
To be totally honest, I 100% disprove of copying from wikipedia, just because it makes this site look like a cheap rip off with a bit more in-depth look, rather than the fully original encyclopedia it should aim to be. I've mentioned banning it or decreasing it at least, but not enough took notice and people seem to be doing it still as it saves time. Mr. Garrison 17:11, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to have to open a discussion on it, as protection of popular pages such as an episdoe does require some back up, or otherwise I could get a lot of bother about it a later point. Mr. Garrison 16:26, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, in light of the lack of good quality images, I've created a hub for projects that the site could carry out, with image improvement being the first listed. Sign up if you're intereated, which I'm guessing you are following your improvement to Randy's pic. Mr. Garrison 18:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Consider it done. Mr. Garrison 22:57, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! It works! It's a new template for broadcast dates to save them being randomly spread across the page, plus it includes ratings (you've probably gathered all this already). I'm thinking of proposing a redesign of episode pages to make them a bit more uniform and neater. Mr. Garrison 12:23, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I don't see why not. I'll contact Merrystar and ask her to get someone from wikia central on it. Merry Christmas by the way! Mr. Garrison 13:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Re: Patrolling
Yes, the easiest and fastest way is to shoot off a message with Special:Contact and just ask for them to set up patrolling on southpark.wikia.com.-- Eulalia Talk 06:10, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, how about we use something that stands out (like orange) and next to it we have a letter in brackets (if it's possible), A=admin, B=b'crat, S=staff from Wikia. JUst my initial idea but we can work on it. Mr. Garrison 09:58, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * @Mr. Garrison: It's possible to change the colors and add text beside certain usernames in the recent changes using MediaWiki:Common.css, if you'd like that, just ask.

@Mjr162006: I've noticed that problem too; the easiest way I've found to bypass that is to copy the url of the redirect and add  to the end of the url; works like a charm :)-- Eulalia  Talk 22:05, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

adoption
congrats on the adoption, glad to see someone active around here that can answer questions about the show. --Uberfuzzy 18:09, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I see you caught that spot of vandalism. I had to leave at the worst time I guess. I cleaned up the edits that bad summaries. They were very offensive even by South Park standards.—Matt (talk) 20:13, December 24, 2008 (UTC)

Welcome Buttons
Hi Mjr162006, I was wondering if you'd like to have the welcome buttons installed on your wiki? As you may know, welcoming new users and IPs is crucial to the success of a wiki, as it encourages new people to stick around and help out, and these templates make the process of welcoming new users so easy, it only takes two clicks :) You can see it in action on the Twilight and Dragonball wikis; simply go to a random, uncreated user talk page, and look for the buttons. Anyway, let me know :)-- Eulalia Talk 21:27, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * New toys? Sure! Why not? It seems like it will be useful.—Matt (talk) 23:02, January 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * All done, enjoy :)-- Eulalia Talk 01:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

About the Forum
I wanted to say this to an administrator. Since Mr. Garrison would be inactive in this wiki after 2009 began. I had to come to you for the news. I created four new threads in the Forum and several users may have registered in this wiki recently. If they have nothing to do, they can just come to the forum and discuss anything related to South Park. If the South Park Archives is going to have a forum, we need several members registered in this wiki to make the discussion happen. Jim856796 07:04, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: Some Things
Since there is a pretty active community here, you should start a forum on the subject, and see what the community thinks about having a new 'crat on the wiki. If the majority of the community is in favor of giving you bureaucratic rights, then you can just send the Community Team a message explaining that you would like to be given bureaucratic rights, and that the community supports you, and including a link to the forum.-- Eulalia Talk 19:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Woo hoo!
Thanks, Matt!

My name is Nathan, by the way. I'm playing with a skin you guys might like here. What would you think of this:

 * Looks good to me. Go for it.—Matt (talk) 00:10, 8 January 2009 (UTC) PS: I like to keep conversations in one place.
