Tri-State Gazette Issue 13

Hello and Help!!
Hi Topher,

I just joined the Wikia a few minutes ago even though I've been lurking around for months and I was wondering if you could help me out as I am a bit lost with how things work. I was first wondering if you could help me get into the #phineas and ferb chat? (Is anyone in there right now btw?) And I am also a bit lost as to how to post things in the forum? I am really hoping you can help a very lost sort-of-newbie out. Thank you very much for your time and help. Beckyflynn 07:29, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Unaired episode page concerns
Hi Topher:

I am writing to express a concern that I have with regards to the articles/pages of unaired episodes (unaired in the United States). It seems like peopel have been adding information that has not been confirmed, such as Episode summary, Cast, Allusions, Continuity, etc... In looking for the source of the information, I cannot find much if any that can confirm the added information to the pages for unaired episodes, save for those same episode airing in the UK and Latin America from which some information can be added, if it is accurate. Other users have also expressed this conern, and have undone edits by anonymous users, as well as inexperienced users on this matter. The reason for my conern is that I don't want the wrong information about an unaired/upcoming episode to be posted from either sources that are questionable, or from someone's wishful thinking about that episode. This includes fanfiction and opinions of the episode or the characters, which myself and other members have noticed quite a bit.

I wonder, therefore, if we can semi-protect the unaired episode pages such that people will not add information, unless the information is credible, including anonymous users. I know previously, RRabbitt semi-protected pages for unaired episodes before, and then unlocked it once the episode has aired on Disney XD so that relevant information can be included by those who have watched the episode. I know people get information about an episode by watching ahead of time on YouTube (if it has aired in the UK or in Spanish), and I have no problem with that whatsoever, so as the information is relevant and accurate. I am more concerned with people adding information when there is NO YouTube video, and is therefore based on speculation or unconfirmed information on such items as the summary of the episode, cast information, continuity, memorable quotes, etc... This measure to semi-protect the pages of unaired episodes should ensure that the information added with regards to unaired episodes is accurate, moreso AFTER the episode has aired on Disney XD. Please let me know your thoughts on whether you think this is feasible or not. Thanks.

The Beak
Just FYI, I reverted this episode page because it is actually listed on zap2it.com, which I now linked to on the episode page. However, the other four episodes created by that same user are not at the moment. --  Ryan Stoppable  ( call me, beep me  ) 14:22, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Concerned with recent blog activity
Hi Topher:

I checked the Recent Activities when I went to my home page, and, other than the ususal contributions to the pages and articles such as undoing edits and fixing the pages, I see a lot of activity in the blog by Bowser101, some of which is quite tense. I understand that people like to make blog posts and make comments and have discussions, but those are not actual good contributions to our Wikia. Editing the various pages and articles such as character pages, song pages and episode pages, etc... are more of the level of an actual contributions to our Wikia. Right now, 90% of the recent activities is infighting on a blog between the different members, and not actual edits and other such contributions, and does not add any value to our Wikia.

The blog comments of a particular blog that I have been watching for the last couple of hours is starting to get out of hand, and if you could intervene and get the members to focus more on putting in actual contributions to our Wikia, rather than engaging in petty bickering between the members over which character pairing is better, that would be good. It seems that most of the edits/contributions are blogs and thier comments more than actual work, per say. I don't want it to lead to an all-out war, which not be good for our Wikia. As I said before, blogs and the discussions inb the blogs are fine, but a majority of the edits/contributions of a member should NOT be blog posts and/or blog comments. I want to see "actual" work being done to help our Wikia, rather than seeing that a vast majority of the recent activity being blog and forum discussions, as it would better help our Wikia be a more useful source of information for ourselves and for anyone else who wants to know more about the various aspects of the show, "Phineas and Ferb", which our Wikia is about. Any help in this matter would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

 * The all-out-war began many months ago and only recently began to cool down. I'm sorry, but blogs exist, that's just a fact of a wiki, and we can't stop having blogs just to ease recent changes patrols. ~Bowserstar  Talk to the new leader of ThunderClan 01:43, February 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Neerav as I tried telling you before, I'm involved in that blog, as I've made sure conversation hasn't escalated, beyond simple debate. Bowser's blog is generally harmless(at the moment) and it actually has helped me come up with several ideas of my own. On the other-hand Bowser, you've got quite a few users who are at your beck and call, tell them not to focus all their time on the blog, and actually edit things.

Yeah, I'm sorry.
I was just trying to help by giving other users a shortcut to seeing an episode via a link on the article about that episode. But I see what you're saying; I won't create any more links.

But wait! Could I at least continue adding those links; only disguised as links to something completely different? How about if I use a code that others can only decode if I email it to them? If any of that isn't allowed, I'll just leave it for good. NNewt84 09:24, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Topher!

hey, Topher
i was wondering if you would un-sysop the creation of "Phinbella" because i wanted to redirect it to "Isabella and Phineas's Relationship" that way people who type it into the searchbar get something. ~Bowserstar Talk to the new leader of ThunderClan 10:14, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

favor?
i'm gonna ask you and a few others. can you try to type anything you can think of that means Phinabella and tell me if any of them don't automatically redirect to Isabella and Phineas's Relationship? ~Bowserstar Talk to the new leader of ThunderClan 20:13, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

KCA Award mention for the Tri-State Gazette
Hi Topher:

With regards to the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards, I wonder if you can make mention of it in the next edition of the Tri-State Gazette. If you want, I can do some sort of write up, or you can do it, whichever is easier for you. We need to get as many people to vote come February 25th so our show can have a chance to win or at least give stiff competition, even though I have a sneaky suspicon that SpongeBob might win. Let me know your thoughts on this. I also messaged Flash about this. Thanks!

Dutch Phineas and Ferb Wiki
Hello, I've already contact RRabbit42 about a Dutch Phineas and Ferb Wiki.

I'm really excited about it and I thought: How is the Dutch Phineas and Ferb Wiki now?

I've checked RRabbit42's talk page a lot, but still there's no answer. Is it because I didn't have any article yet?

I want to begin translating after the "skin" is done. But since I don't have the code of this style, I can't do that.

Please help me, because I've talked to other Dutch Phineas and Ferb fans about this and the wiki is still empty. Zer0Z14 21:01, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
