User talk:Mr. Garrison

Hiho
Hello Mr. Garrison, while reverting the latest vandalism on this wiki, I've noted that the founder and currently only admin is inactive since 2005. And I also noted that you are active in a good way and for a longer time now :-)

So, are you interested in "adopting" this wiki? This would mean, that you'll get sysop rights here and therefore will be able to adapt the wiki's interface in many ways (including the logo, CSS and JS). You will also be able to delete needless redirects or nonsense pages, or to block vandal accounts by yourself then.

If you are interested please read the Administrators' how-to guide carefully and leave me a note afterwards. Of course, I – and also the other members of Wikia's Community Support Team – can always help you personally later if you have any questions.

By the way, I've asked Lemniwinks the same question. If you both are interested, there'll be two admins then, and it would be best if you could "work together" in some way :-)

I already gave you rollback rights some minutes ago :-)

Greetings --rieke 18:26, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

PS: I removed the obvious troll message at the top of your talk page (he left the same pointless sentence on more than 100 pages all around on different wikis). I hope this is ok with you.


 * You're sysop here now. I'll leave an additional note about the adoption on this wiki' description page on Central Wikia. Enjoy :-) --rieke 20:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

The same goes to you. Congrats on becoming an Admin. As for ideas, what I am thinking about right now is a change of logo. Some thing more artistic, but nothing has come to mind yet. --User:Lemniwinks
 * Yap, a better logo would be cool. I have also no idea yet, though ;-) --rieke 21:14, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

The South Park sign would be a great idea for it, I think. Better then Ike, and when we come across the best logo ever, we can replace it.
 * P.S. It depends on the content of the character. People Like Jimbo and Mr. Mackey should get their own page, but people only appearing one or more times like Halfie or Nurse Gollum should all be put together. --User:Lemniwinks

Just doing as you said - Contacting you for help!
Hello "Mr. Garrison", I just wanted to know how exactly you can become an administrator. In my position, (1. I've placed nearly every character article on my watchlist so I can monitor them for vandalisms. 2. I've been spending time creating new articles for characters who didn't have their articles here yet. 3. I've been repairing many of their images thanks to your kindness, and those articles which I've fixed the images on look way better now.) I was thinking maybe I ought to at least consider becoming an administrator myself, if it's not a lot of trouble.

Another thing. I know you work for Wikipedia as well, so you may have seen me post this up in the discussion thread for the Students section, as well as in Bertha's article right here in South Park Wiki. But nobody seems to be answering, and while they may answer sooner or later, I would like to know as soon as possible. Did Bertha really work with Craig on that egg science project? I could have sworn - from the copy of the script which I have read - that Craig worked with Millie. I even remember part of Mrs. Garrison's dialogue in the first scene being "Millie, your husband is Craig". Was that a naming error? Do you know what was actually said? (I never actually watched that episode on the TV.)

When you answer my questions, please answer them on my talkpage instead of here. That would be much appreciated. Please answer them ASAP!!! Thanks!

The Community Portal needs to be updated.
I must point out that all of the articles in the "List of Stub Articles" have indeed been extended already. I think we should remove them from that list, and put in a list of articles which are still stubs, if there are any. But I can't figure out how to do this. Can you give any suggestions? Wilhelmina Will June 29th, 2007.

You might also find this question in Wikipedia.
Where do those images of the characters standing alone on a blue or a white background come from? I've collected as many as I can from Wikipedia, but I'd like to know where the other editors of that encyclopedia got them from, so I can get the rest of them. Thank you. Wilhelmina Will July 1st, 2007.

Thank you once again for that tip. I'll get around to there and get some plain images of the other characters as well. And as for leaving the comment on my userpage, don't worry about it. Just so long as it's somewhere where I can be notified about it, I'm okay with it. Wilhelmina Will July 2nd, 2007.

We have a problem here. I wanted to get an image of Heidi Turner, but I couldn't find her hair style anywhere. Do you know how this can be attained? Wilhelmina Will July 2nd, 2007.

I forgot to mention... there was another problem. While for characters like Heidi Turner, I couldn't find certain body parts, for characters like Kelly or Bebe Stevens, I was able to put them all together. The only thing was, the program wouldn't let me save the pictures on my hard drive! But if this can't be done, how did the other editors manage to get those images uploaded to Wikipedia??? Wilhelmina Will July 3rd, 2007.

Thank you, but I'm afraid my computer doesn't have a jpg. format. Do you think you could maybe get another user to do that, please? Wilhelmina Will July 4th, 2007.

Another question I forgot to ask was: How did they manage to create images of adult characters like Sharon Marsh? As far as I know, create-a-character only works for creating images of children. Wilhelmina Will July 4th, 2007.

Wilhelmina Will July 7th, 2007.
 * Hello again. I was reading your reply to my comment about not being able to save the images on my hard drive. You said something about how the people who created those images screenshotted them, and then they did some other stuff, and then converted it to a jpg. format. But how do you screen shot an image, anyway?


 * Yes, I do have PowerDVD. What comes next, though??? Wilhelmina Will July 8th, 2007.

I read over what you said several times, and, when I finally decided I understood how it works, I went to try it for myself. The only remaining problem is that I couldn't figure out how to use the camera icon! Wilhelmina Will July 17th, 2007.

Let's Get Going on this, Please.
I finally got around to creating the articles for the missing episodes of South Park. I've already done the beginning for "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics". (Check it out!) But there are a hell of a lot more to go, and I don't think that I can do them all. I'll try to get all of the articles for the missing episodes in Season five done by July 25th, but could you please work on the missing ones for Seasons three and four? I think it's high time someone did something about them. Wilhelmina Will July 15th, 2007.

HELP!!!
We have a problem, here. When I was creating the article for "The Entity", I moved the article from "The Entity (South Park)" to "The Entity". Then I tried to erase the old link, but I ended up erasing most of the connection to the new name! You can still get to the new one by checking the old name's history, but that is so inconvenient! I was so upset by this, I couldn't even bear to continue with paraphrasing the article! But I don't know how to fix this error! Help! Wilhelmina Will July 17th, 2007.

Honestly, Why Keep all of Those Useless Articles???
I was looking at the "Content (A-Z)" link in the side-department, and I realized that there are an awful lot of useless articles in this Wikia, which I never realized existed. I think all of the articles which are named in Italics (in other words, ones that have been redirected, or moved to a new name) should be deleted. It would save a lot of confusion among newer readers and users. Please explain how the articles can be completely removed from this Wikia.

By the way, I still need answers to the following problems:


 * While I'm still struggling with trying to screenshot character images from create-a-character, I would like to know in the meantime, how were the other users able to create adult images, like that of Sharon Marsh? As I mentioned before, I don't know if people are able to create adult characters with that site.


 * I still would like to create images for as many characters as possible, but as I mentioned, some of the desired body parts aren't available. Yet I heard a couple of months ago that there was an updated version of the create-a-character. I was thinking, perhaps this newer edition might have the desired body parts available? Could you please tell me where I can find this updated version, or provide me with a link to it?

(Or, if you can't answer these additional questions, could you at least direct me to a user who can?) Wilhelmina Will July 20th, 2007.

Perhaps this could also be done...
Your directions on how to get images from create-a-character got me thinking... if one can photograph the images with the camera icon from PowerDVD, and the alter the settings in that method you mentioned, could one also do the same to screenshots of the characters, which have already been done?

Okay, that was probably confusing. But what I meant was, find screenshots of episodes that have the desired characters in them. That's step one. Step two: find some way to screenshot them again, and then alter their settings, by eliminating everything in that picture, except for the character. Then copy the character, and move their image to another jpg. document on your hard drive. Now you have the image of the character you wanted, and it's on a blank background as well! (And, there's no inconvenience of not having all the right body parts, as there is with create-a-character!!!)

So, the question is, can this be done?

Please reply ASAP!!!

Wilhelmina Will July 21st, 2007.

Apology Accepted.
That's a big relief; I was beginning to think you had walked out on the Wikia like the old administrator had. (You could say he was an "administraitor"!) Anyway, I'll understand if it takes a while, but could you please, when you have the time, perform this activity on the images which are currently in Anne Polk and Heidi Turner's articles? I would have, but I'm afraid I will also be busy doing research for characters who still need their articles, as well as for creating episode pages. Will-Girl 20:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I would still be interested.
Yes, I would still like to become an administrator. Oh, and by the way, don't be confused if you read "Will-Girl" on my comments sometimes. That is merely the pet form of my username. Will-Girl 21:27, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted you to know: If you haven't already recommended me as an administrator, be sure to ask whoever it is that you have to ask to look at my userpage. Even if you have, I would still like for them to see it. (It may increase my chances of becoming one). Wilhelmina Will August 4th, 2007.

I Think Something May Be Wrong, Here.
It's strange, but even with all the articles I've now created, and with all the cleaning up I've done, there's still very few actions committed by anyone else here. May I also point out that the other administrator, Lemniwinks, also doesn't appear to be doing much (but only as far as I've seen).

It's strange, how inactive this site seems to be, even now. But if there's some way I can make this site more noticed, I'd like to know how. Any ideas??? Wilhelmina Will August 5th, 2007.

I'm afraid I won't be back for some time.
There are some issues elsewhere that I must deal with, so I am afraid I won't be able to work here for some time... perhaps even a month or two. Just so you understand why I'll be absent for a while. You might as well not bother recommending me as an administrator till then. Will-Girl 06:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, as it turns out, I managed to find time to come back here for right now. I'll do all I can in this time, and hopefully I'll have more opportunities to sneak back for the next month or so, but I can't make any garuntees! Will-Girl 21:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

What about this?
Instead of waiting for Season 10 to come out on DVD, why not just take the screenshot character images in this Wikia, and perform my suggestion on them. I would, as I always say, but I can't figure out how to use that camera icon, and besides, I have my hands full of other projects for the Wikia. Will-Girl 22:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

No, actually, I haven't. For some reason, they never seem to show it. Oh well. Will-Girl 22:58, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

It sounds interesting... but I'm not sure what could be done for episodes that haven't even aired yet. Provide a summary of details on this project??? Will-Girl 21:32, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I Would if I Could, as Usual.
Unfortunately, I tried to join the list of Active Users, but I couldn't figure out how to add my name in, even when I clicked on the edit link. I had this same problem when I tried to clean up the community portal page. Darn! Can you explain how one might add their name into the active users page? Thanks! Will-Girl 18:20, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Better Keep a Watch-out for this Guy:
I noticed that you blocked Flatts from editing. I must thank you for that; who knows when he/she would have struck again! But keep a watch-out for this one: 84.67.161.164. If you'll go to Stan Marsh's article, and look into it's history, you'll see why. Thanks! Will-Girl 20:40, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
