Number of edits
It seems that both my number of edits on this wiki and the fanon wiki are going down? Is their a reason for this! ---Zacbio (Talk)


 * So far, the log shows you've only lost 5 edits here, and that was because they were on pages that had to be deleted. (Well, one was a comment you made that I deleted because I wanted to steer the fan art request blog back to getting approvals/rejections from artists to feature their work.)


 * I'm not an admin on the Fanon wiki, but I do see that quite a few people lost edits when Phin68 deleted one particular blog. Beyond that, it is normal maintenance of the wiki earlier in the year that I see in the log.


 * I will try to watch your edit count to see what's happening. At the moment, your edit counts are 140 and 272. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 17:15, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

A Question & A Comment
First Of All, The TSG looks wonderful. (and my article looks pretty nice too, eh?)

Second Of All, As you can tell by the little edit at the end of my article, I'm doing a P&F quiz. I was wondering how I could make a hidden page where I can store all the submissions? - PlantyThePottedPlant 21:53, January 1, 2010


 * Go up to the address bar in your web browser and add /archive (or whatever you want to call the hidden page). Next, click on "Click here to start new page". Add the submissions there. As long as you do not create a link to this page, people will have to manually update the address to get to it. (It will still how up in the Recent Changes, though.)


 * Regarding your article, we've had a few people express an interest in writing for the newsletter, but some of them never follow through with it. So, it's good to see that you did. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 21:58, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Now What?
How do I take that page off of the "Latest Activity" List & my contribution list - PlantyThePottedPlant


 * It will happen automatically as more edits are made. "Latest Activity" is fed from the Recent Changes, and looks like it shows about the last 60 edits. The other is from what you edit. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 22:27, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

2 More Things

 * 1: Is it alright if I change my icon to the version of it you made for the newsletter?


 * 2: I just went and copied the format for the article submission pages, and applied that to the page for answers. Is that O. K. with you?

Thanks

--"Ah Perry The Platypus, How unexpected, And by unexpected, I mean.... unexpected"- Dr. D, Get That Bigfoot Outta My Face 22:38, January 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Both are fine. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 23:01, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi I am new to this wiki.I just wanted to meet you. I hope we can be good friends. Also you have a very high edit count!--Entei and Perry FTW 19:58, January 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * response left on user's talk page

opinion
hi! remember me? I started that whole "Bring back jeremycreek" thing. sorry I got carried away with that, by the way. anyway, now I'm a user and i've decided to stay! I wrote this article and would like you to please put a message on my talk telling me what you think! (i know, it's short, there isn't a whole lotta stuff to say about it.) ~Bowser101 09:16, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have been looking at some of the shorter/stub pages and trying to see if we can combine them with others. Normally, a jingle like this might fall under this review, but as I think about it more, it does qualify to be a separate page. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 02:17, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Remarks section on "Phineas and Ferb X-mas special"
What does this section mean. I deleted it. Is that okay? -- Zacbio 00:20, January 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * You didn't mention what page that was on, but since we know the proper name of the Christmas special, I think it will be okay. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 02:17, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I just thought you knew I ment that it was the Phineas and Ferb's Christmas Vacation!. Zacbio

King Of Queens Wiki
Hey RRabbit42, If you enjoy the show "The King Of Queens", Could you please help me get my King Of Queens Wiki started up? (I already created it, I would just like for it to look as good as the P&F Wiki does.)


 * I don't watch very many sitcoms, and "The King of Queens" is not among them. So, while I couldn't help with info about the show or characters, I can give you info about what you will need to make adjustments in, such as where to upload your wiki's logo. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 02:17, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Featured User, Article,and Image
Hey, me again I was wondering if we could have those. If not then may I suggest making them?--Entei and Perry FTW 00:16, January 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * We already have a Featured Article and Featured Picture section. Check the Sitenotice at the top of the page to find the links. We talked a long time ago about having a Featured User page, but decided at that time it would only be kind of a self-promotion for a few users. We've grown since then, so we may come back to this idea in the future. There will be something like it in the next newsletter.


 * In the meantime, you can always look in the "Featured users" section of the "Community" menu to see which people have edited the most here. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 02:17, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Isabella's page
could you tell me what's missing from Isabella's article? I might be able to help. ~Bowser101 00:55, January 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, that's an open-ended question. I think it's amongst the pages that needs to be revised to make sure it fits our Point of View policy. We had to split off the "Isabella's relationship with Phineas" section into its own page. But other than that, I can't give you anything specific that needs to be done to the page. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 02:17, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Blarg!
someone keeps adding back to Isabella's page that she's a counterpart to amy! can you please find out who and stop them? ~Bowser101 14:18, January 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * You have part of the answer already. I will have more later. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 20:19, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I found out that it was NNewt that was writing that, could you stop him please? ~Bowser101 20:36, January 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Though it may be a nuisance, what he is adding does not qualify for a block.


 * Others besides you and I have also looked at this "connection" and have deleted it each time. If one person says "yes" and another says "no", then either one could be valid. But if one person says "yes" and 5 people say "no, this is opinion", then it's pretty clear that this is personal opinion by the person saying "yes". This is called a community review.


 * We try to keep personal opinion out of our main pages. Just continue to do what you have been doing: if you Undo an edit, put in the Summary line why you are removing it. This helps everyone to see what is being done and can help in situations like this to show that it's more than just two people having a difference in opinion on a subject.


 * If this continues to be an issue, we may be forced to lock the page to prevent editing for a time.


 * Also, if you change your signature to  ~Bowser101 , then people will be able to click on your signature to go to your Talk page and leave you messages. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 02:17, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

He just doesn't stop! he won't stop being jerkish about the amy thing. now he's gone and yelled at Zacbio too! he has to stop!

~Bowser101 13:29, January 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * See below. RRabbit42 ( talk )

yaa about questions...
It's ok if you don't know this but what's the next new episode of phineas and ferb? -Perry13


 * "I Was A Middle-Aged Robot" and "Suddenly Suzy" will be the next ones, but we don't have an airdate yet. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 02:17, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Question!
Why does Super Flash just through most featured article nominees into the archive when he sees them without giving other people to write comments? I think its very mean when he does it. Do you? 98.185.48.50 19:09, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not being "mean," I am conforming with our FAN policies. The nominations you've been creating are far to premature; stubs cannot become featured articles, and any "comments" would be useless as the nomination itself is invalid. As both an administrator and the coordinator of the FA nominations, I'm simply doing my job by "throwing most featured article nominees into the archive." In fact, actually, that's quite invalid in its own. I actually either oppose or support nominations, and it's very rare that I immediately archive them—those article's were special cases as they were premature and disregarded our policies. I'm not trying to be mean at all, I'm just here to help people out and help manage our individual policies. Thank you, The Flash  {talk} 20:26, January 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * From what I have seen, a lot of the nominations are "I like this page", rather than ones that are filled out enough to qualify. As a rough figure, any candidates should have at least as much information as in the "Episode Summary" section of "Rollercoaster". Much more is preferable. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 04:29, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

NNewt's note on my talk page
A couple days ago, I wrote a little comment in NNewt's user page about why it matters to him so much about the amyrose/Isabella allusin. This was his respose "Hey, who said you could butt in just like that? Also, I have 148 friends on Facebook! And you know what I think of this Wiki? It's for total snobs like you and RRabbit42! Good day to you, sir! NNewt84 05:05, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

''Make that 149! Ha! NNewt84 11:24, January 13, 2010 (UTC)". ''Could you please 1) talk to him or 20 block him? And he called us snobs! ---Zacbio


 * This is being handled by another admin. But here's an observation: number of friends is irrelevant to the matter and is a spurious way of trying to support a point of view. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 04:29, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

NNewt, GRRRRRRRRRR!
NNewt is being a total shortfuse and yelling at everyone! please stop him. ~Bowser101 23:29, January 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * See above. RRabbit42 ( talk )

the new editing thing
the new editing thingamajig is really glitchy. it moves things when you copy and pastes them, replaces templates with weird symbols, doesn't let you right-click to spell check, it makes the entire thing IMPOSSIBLE to work well with!

~Bowser101 04:01, January 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Go into Special:Preferences into the "Editing" tab and uncheck "Enable Rich Text Editing". This will switch you back to the standard editor. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 04:29, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Is this allowed?
i saw that bobtherandomguy used this sentance on his talk page:

''My favorite episodes are Dude, We're Gettin' the Band Back Together! because it's the first one I saw, Put That Putter Away because quite frankly I like Stacy, and finally One Good Scare Ought to Do It! & That Sinking Feeling because hell even I'm a victim to a cute shipping episode.''

I didn't know if that was allowed or not... ~Bowser101 23:13, January 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * I know I am not RRabbit42, but as either he or some other guy said, "If you wouldn't hear it on the show, you shouldn't hear (see) it here." So, No that is not allowed..... I hope that answers your question. Perry vs. Doofenshmirtz, Pinky vs. Poofenplotz, Planty vs. Doofenshmirtz (for 10 minutes) 00:40, January 16, 2010 (UTC)Curse_you,_Inspector_Perry_by_JaviDLuffy.jpg

I'm Quizzin', Quizzin', And I'm starting Quiz #2
If possible, Please publish the following in tomorrow's TSG:

Hey P&F Fanatics, I came to the conclusion that the first quiz I made was a bit too easy. So, I'm replacing it with this more difficult test! As always, Post your answers on my Talk Page by March 1st 2010. Enjoy!

(quiz was featured in a recent newsletter, so questions and choices have been deleted from here)

About the Fanon Wiki
Hi. I like the Fanon for phineas and ferb wiki but there aren't many articles for season 28 because the guy who makes season 28 only has 2 episodes that are real out of the who knows how many episodes for season 28. Could you do something about it maybe? 98.185.48.50 19:49, January 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * I take it that by "real" episodes, you mean ones that have been filled out? I do not have any control over the fan fiction stories that are added to the Fanon site. I recommend that if you haven't already done so, you should leave a message on that person's Talk page and let them know that you'd like to see more of the articles finished. Maybe with some encouragement they can get them done. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 21:40, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Ferb?
Can you add ferb to the avatars?


 * There will be a lot more added to all the characters in the coming weeks. You already selected one of the new ones, but check back frequently. You may see a new one you like. — RRabbit42 ( talk ) 20:25, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Userbox categories?
how can you make a userbox automatically categorize users who use it? also, how can you add categories to the Userboxes page? &nbsp ~Bowser101 23:53, January 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Let me get back to you on that. I still have it marked down as a project to go through the existing categories to make sure they're all correct and streamlined. I'd like to avoid adding a lot of new ones in the meantime.


 * Never mind. Before you even wrote that I figured it out. ~Bowser101  03:51, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Gazette
Is the new issue of the Gazette ready to go out? —Topher ( talk ) 06:08, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Avatars
Ferbot has fixed categories for all the avatars that were featured on the subpages of Phineas and Ferb Wiki:Avatars except for a few of the minor ones and has created the category pages for the category links you created. JeremyCreek has added the Shipping section back in and those are in both Group and Shipping categories. Also, we may want to consider combining some of the categories together. It makes no sense to me to have a category with less than 10 images in it. We could add some umbrella categories such as OWCA avatars for Planty, Pinky, and other agents, just as an example. I also don't see us having many Perry the Platypus avatars where he's not in Agent mode, so we could lump them all under Category:Perry the Platypus avatars. —Topher ( talk ) 09:45, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Streamlined and reorganized. Once a character appears in 3 episodes, then they can be moved into their own category. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 21:22, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Subscribe
What happens when you subscribe to the Tri-State Gazette? I want to, but I'm not sure what it means. Zacbio (I have a crush on Isabella!)' 20:31, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I have some questions...
Hi! Could somene pleas tell me how to change my avatar, I want to personalize it. I have editied P&F wiki before, but as a unregistered user and now that I'm a member, I want to have a little fun with my avatar. Also, I've made a picture that I want to post, where do I post it? Thank u! - ILovePhineasAndFerb, 23:28, January 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Check out the Phineas and Ferb Wiki:Avatars page. You already have the picture you want, so you can start with Step 3. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 02:33, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Um... Houston, We Have A Problem
I was looking at all the P&F Wikis on the web, and a Wiki that is totally unrelated to ours is using our logo.


 * Which one? — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 01:22, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Topher found it last night. Technically, they can do that because of the licensing of all uploaded pictures. It would have been nice if they had asked first, though. Since it is a brand new wiki that will cover the same subject as this one, we plan on inviting them to merge with us. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:49, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? Do you mean that if they have any info or articles we don't have, we'll let them post that info/ articles on this wiki? Perry vs. Doofenshmirtz, Pinky vs. Poofenplotz, Planty vs. Doofenshmirtz (for 10 minutes) 22:20, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * What I think RR is trying to say here, is that we are inviting the current admin/s and contributors on that wiki to edit on this wiki, so that they help the community more, and possibly learn how to be in a wiki community. And if their articles contain info not on our pages, but it's correct and confirmed, we will be glad to implement it in our pages. Though I am not sure what we will do with that wiki if we manage to get them to join us, but most probably we will copy anything the users there wanna copy, inform them that it's gonna get deleted, and tell the wikia staff.I hope this answered your questions. —Ardi~(Talk)~( Correspondence ) 22:49, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Either the other wikis don't know about this one, or for some reason they have decided they still want to build their own wiki about Phineas and Ferb. In both cases, they are going to have to try building the same type of content we have (episodes, songs, galleries, etc.). That's a lot of work and hassle they can save themselves if they agree to have their wiki redirected to ours. If they choose to remain independent, they can, but they probably won't get as many visitors as this wiki.


 * Going back to the original question about the logo, everything that is typed here is governed by what is called "CC-BY-SA" licensing. This means that it can be used by other people. Logos and pictures do have different licensing, but it's along the same lines. However, common courtesy says that you should ask before you use a design that someone else came up with. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:19, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

An anonymous user...
...messed with my page overnight. he added a nonsense sentence with moderate profanity in it. the sentence may just have been a joke, because it sounded like someone from school by the sound of the sentence. but, nonetheless, it was still vandalism. the edit has been reverted, and you could let it slide this once if you wanna. I've put a message on his talk page with Template:NotOkay and warning him not to do it again.


 * They have been blocked for two weeks. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:49, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

New tool against Shipping wars
I made this. now, if you type on a page, this pops up. ~Bowser101 00:38, January 27, 2010 (UTC) Template:War

now...
...71.201.230.195 has been messing with my page too! not profanity, but not nice either. definitely not good faith edit. was messing with my Koopa! section, especially the "Featured Minion" part.

~Bowser101 22:00, January 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * okay, now the vandal's done it, like, 50 times! this has to end now!

Formal Complaint against Bowser101
RRabbit:

When looking at the Recent Changes page to see the latest activities of our Wikia, I am seeing a lot of back and forth between Bowser101 and an anonymous user. In addition, Bowser101 is spamming other people's pages, asking for help. This is, in no way, constructive to our Wikia, as our members are more interested in the latest activities by our users, rather than this back and forth fight. Please stop whatever is going on between Bowser101 and whoever is annoying him, as this is detremental to our Wikia, and annoying to everyojne. Thanks BigNeerav 00:21, January 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not "spamming" i'm begging for help! vandals, attacking my page everywhere... the horror, THE HORROR!!!! the guy is definitely from my school, but i can't stop him in person also definitely. please block the vandal, he's used profanity, slander, lies, everything that goes against the wiki's policy! please help me! ~Bowser101  00:27, January 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have placed a block on that IP address for two weeks. It may be the same person as two days before.


 * In the future, Bowser, please just leave messages on administrators' pages. Other users can Undo changes, just like you can, and a few can Undo several changes at once, but only administrators can issue blocks on problem users. Our current list of administrators are:


 * Right now, Topher and I are usually around at least once a day, so we can help you out when things like this occur. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:19, January 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * just a FYI, he can't be the same person because he talked to me at the same time that the other guy did that. ~Bowser101  11:43, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

User 68.20.21.59
68.20.21.59 needs to be blocked for spamming pages especially Isabella. He/she put a lot of things like POOP and poop. AgentP 01:06, January 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am not going to block them this time, but I have left a message on their talk page that if they continue, they will be blocked for a month, which is twice as long as I usually start out with. This may just be a kid playing around, so I will give them an opportunity to reign themselves back in before I act. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:19, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

online
i guess u and me r the only ones online


 * Lulls happen every once in a while. It's late night in the US right now, and I'm actually working on a couple of other things. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 07:35, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

about an article
http://phineasandferb.wikia.com/wiki/Tuff_Gum

I would like let you guys know that the song on the video isn't "Tuff gum" that's the spanish version saying "goma normal" which means "normal gum" because Bufford didn't want to share his Tuff Gum, Phineas asked Ferb if he coul'd have normal gum, so that jingle says "Normal Gum". (I know this because I speak Spanish. I watched the full episode also.) The tuff gum song was the one before the normal gum song.


 * Since people are entering information from the Latin American broadcast before it airs in the U.S., we realize that there will be information to be corrected. Once it shows up on Disney XD, we can start straightening things around. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 15:21, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
