This Wiki's Made for Movin'
You're a fast worker, re the Nancy Sinatra show. Jolly good. --Andrew, Aleal 19:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Quickie Dick! -- Scott Scarecroe 20:04, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Looks like I'm back...
...but I'm still off Wikipedia for good. Did a new article just now: Monopoly - Muppets Edition. Saw it in a hobby store today and figured it needed an article. - Lucky 6.9 01:08, 12 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey Ralph, good to see you back! That's too bad about the trolls on Wikipedia. Are they doing anything to stop it? -- Scott Scarecroe 01:31, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Not a thing. A troll drove me off. When my blocking of this jerk was reverted by another administrator, I demanded to be de-adminned and I quit. The guy's talk page is nothing but a personal attack. Glad to be here. - Lucky 6.9 01:33, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Poky!
Thanks for uploading the better image. The lack of graphic representation for The Poky Little Puppy Comes to Sesame Street was a gaping hole in our Little Golden Books archive. --Andrew, Aleal 17:39, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem! I don't have the book to scan, so I just cleaned up the one that was there. Poky! -- Scott Scarecroe 17:47, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Now if only Golden Press would supply the much requested follow up, The Tawny Scrawny Lion Lunches with Cookie Monster. --Andrew, Aleal 17:49, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Ukelele Lady
The picture on Characters Who Have Been to the Moon makes me very happy. Tank you. -- Danny Toughpigs 04:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Grover!
Is it me, or is that the most disturbing Grover book cover known to man? If that's an actual Grover puppet or something, neat, but it still looks scary when scanned like that. -- Andrew, Aleal 00:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's completely frightening when scanned all squished up like that. I wish I had it to take a picture! -- Scott Scarecroe 01:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

The figures don't lie
I got to 10,000 edits first. I win! -- Danny Toughpigs 05:12, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice! Did you get a visit from the Wiki Fairy? -- Scott Scarecroe 14:37, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I did! It was in the form of a doctor's appointment. -- Danny Toughpigs 14:51, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Ed Sullivan
Not sure if it was appropriate, but I sent Dean a very light warning about editing the Ed Sullivan page while it was Timed Out. More of a reminder of the policy than anything else.--Pantalones 17:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I just saw. Thanks. I'm still figuring out the Time Out policy. -- Scott Scarecroe 18:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was very cool. Silly Dean. I think everybody's handling it well -- building up a series of gradually escalating questions/warnings. What's the status right now? Are the names there his, or the other ones? -- Danny Toughpigs 00:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * They're his names. I didn't know whether to put it in timeout, but I didn't want to revert again and set off more back and forthing. I was hoping it would be easier to settle than this. Sloth is still in timeout as well (witH Dean's edit as the last one), no consensus was really reached. --Andrew, Aleal 00:49, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the Time Out policy says that the parties have two days to resolve the issue. If he doesn't respond for two days, then the issue is considered resolved, and you can undo his edits. I think that's the way that Dean works. He does his thing, and reverts edits -- but if other people kick up a fuss about it, then he backs off. That's what happened with the Harvey Beaver/Charlie Muskrat thing, and categorizing Mother Goose as a Muppet Character. He doesn't come out and say, "Yeah, you're right, sorry about that," but he backs down and leaves it alone. So the Time Out policy is essentially about giving somebody the opportunity to either back up their edit, or back down.
 * Dean's edits today on the Ed S page aren't really violations of the Time Out policy. He was just trying to add a picture, not mess with the titles. The page shouldn't be edited at all, but this was sort of a technical violation, not a violation in spirit. It was good that Peter called him out on it, just to let him know that the Time Out thing is serious.
 * So, basically, everybody steps away from that page for a couple days. By Wednesday, if he hasn't responded to the talk page, then you can just switch the titles back, and everything's cool. It's already been six days on Sloth, so Andrew, you can feel free to take the Time Out box off and make whatever change you think is right. -- Danny Toughpigs 01:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I've never even seen the thing, so I don't know which performer is right. So I'm thinking of just removing the performer box entirely, until such time as better info or a more complete consensus is reached (Dean said Nelson, Tony said Oz, and Jog guessed it was someone else entirely). --Andrew, Aleal 01:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that looks like the best way to handle it! Another triumph of the Time Out policy, sort of. -- Danny Toughpigs 02:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Not really. Dean just stuck Nelson back in again! --Andrew, Aleal 02:28, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * And I posted a message about it, and he stuck in Frank Oz! I don't know if it's his way of conceding the point or what. I think I may need to take a break from the Wiki for awhile. --Andrew, Aleal 02:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Timeline
Hey babe: I was deleting some date links this morning, and it occurred to me that maybe it's time to change the policy on that. I realized that because of our strict rules on what dates get linked, there's practically nothing that links to the Timeline pages -- and therefore, most readers won't even know that it exists. We've been keeping a tight lid on the date links to make it easier to construct the timeline pages, but it looks like they're in pretty good shape at this point. What do you think about giving a green light to date links? -- Danny Toughpigs 17:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not really opposed to multiple links to the same page, so sure, I say go for it. -- Scott Scarecroe 17:32, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Marsha
We have a page on Marsha! Well, thank the freakin' lord for that. I can finally sleep at night. -- Danny Toughpigs 17:23, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I know, Praise Jesus! -- Scott Scarecroe 17:32, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You forgot to wikify. -- Danny Toughpigs 17:40, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
