TIME
Hi, Max! The TIME magazine pages are great. Where did you find them? Google Books? (The TIME site had the article in question but only the cover image). It actually has more of a LIFE spread look to it. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 22:15, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

I got them from here and here. -- Max (talk ) 22:24, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Watermarks
Hi, Max! We discussed this before but I think you forgot. Please stop uploading images clearly watermarked from another website, as you're currently doing with all of those coloring book covers from TK's Toy Stand. I appreciate your effort and research, but we're better off with a placeholder than something which obviously screams "We stole this from another site," and even if that weren't a consideration, it obscures much of the cover anyway. Thanks! -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 03:57, July 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, Andrew Leal! Your wish is my command! -- Max (talk ) 03:58, July 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Heh, and I accidentally reverted you until I realized you'd uploaded a non-marked image. Good work! -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 03:59, July 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Why, thank you, Andrew Leal! I most certainly made one save for myself with a non-watermarked image, didn't I? -- talk ) 04:02, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Images
Hello, this seems to be an issue with you when uploading images from YouTube. You seem to save the thumbnail image and upload it here, which is no good (they're way too small). So, if you're going to upload an image that comes from a YouTube video, hit the "PrtSc" button on your keyboard and paste the image into Paint or something anc crop out what ever's not the video. User:Skullzproductions' videos may be useful for making a page, but his videos aren't the kid of quality we want images from. I'll clean up the episode pages for you, but just keep the image thing in mind next time you find something on the Web. - Oscarfan 14:27, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, you got it, Oscarfan! -- Max (talk ) 14:29, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

International dubs
Please check your facts first before claiming that a certain title are a dub, for instance the Muppet Treasure Island have never been dubbed in the Nordic countries. Henrik ( talk ) 06:49, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, you got it, Henrik! -- Max ( talk ) 13:00, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

Wholesale uploading and logos again
Max, this time you've uploaded a ton of images from Mobygames.com, clearly labeled as such. A link to the page suffices. You've been doing a lot of good work, but you also keep doing stuff like this. I think you're having a little trouble discerning both how much illustration a given subject needs and that, while as a Wiki we do borrow from other sites, images with clear labels identifying that they belong to another site should never be here (unless of course said site actually gave it to us with the labels as a proviso). We don't want to have to block you, but this is starting to become an issue. Please be careful, and perhaps this is the best policy: if you find a whole bunch of images on a site you want to use, include a link (that's always appropriate) and if you really think they need to be uploaded directly, start a discussion on the appropriate talk page and see what other people think. That may be the best solution all around, since I know you want to help, but you seem to have a particular problem in this area. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 04:13, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm...amazingly, you sure do have a good point going on around here, Andrew Leal! -- Max (talk ) 04:16, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Redbook Borrowing
Max, could you hold off on uploading anything else from the Henson Redbook site? Most of what I'm seeing really isn't that helpful on the Wiki (a scan of a memo which is already on another site isn't helpful, it's the *information* in the memo which is, and in several cases they don't really provide anything new anyway). Take a look at the Muppet Wiki:Current events discussion (and of course, please weigh in there!) -- Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 08:32, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

You got it, Andrew Leal! -- <font color="Blue">Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 15:12, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

image source
What is this from? — scarecroe 18:06, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

It's from this site: The Muppet Mindset: Weekly Muppet Wednesdays: Grover -- Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:33, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Silly Storytime Bonus Features
I saw that you added that the upcoming DVD Silly Storytime will include four Sesame Street News Flash segments as bonus features. While it's obvious that the segments will be on the DVD, what's your source for the fact that they will be bonus features (as opposed to part of the main program)? I assumed it was amazon's page but I checked and I didn't see a listing of bonus features there. Considering the way Kermit the Frog appears on the cover (in the background along with Elmo and Zoe, as opposed to a small image like the covers for Elmo's Rainbow and Other Springtime Stories and P Is for Princess do regarding cover representation of bonus clips) and the fact that Louis Henry Mitchell thought it was important to include Kermit on the cover. --Minor muppetz 00:55, December 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hate to break this to ya, Mike, but I believe you already asked that question on that upcoming DVD's talk page. -- Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:32, December 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * No need for sarcasm, Max. He asked you first, and when you didn't respond (three hours later, per time stamps), made it open on the talk page. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:24, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, I'm sorry, Andrew Leal. I won't be late when someone asked me a question on my talk page again. I promise! -- Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:20, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Little People
Hi. Just wanted to let you know I reverted your edit to Fisher Price Little People because we don't cover fan art. Thanks. — scarecroe 02:14, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Well, that's okay there, Scarecroe. -- Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:26, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Turkey Discs!
Hey, Max! Nice new stuff from Turkey. Just a reminder, though: Don't put the country in the gray box. That's only for the format, and then the country and year goes under it, then the company, then the catalog number. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:26, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, you got it, Ken! -- Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:27, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Sony Wonder Preview Disc
Hi, Max! I saw your picture of the Sony Wonder Preview disc at the top of the gallery. Do you know what's on it? If we know more, we can make a page for it, since samplers can get their own pages. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 06:49, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, Ken. We can make a page for the Sony Wonder Preview disc, maybe as long as I can find the listings for the Sony Wonder preview disc. -- Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:39, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Deceased Characters
Hi Max -- I'm confused by your Deceased Characters category. Why are Gonzo, Bunsen, Beaker and the Swedish Chef in that category? I don't see any connection between them and death. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:13, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Check out the page Characters who have died and you'll see what I mean, Danny! -- Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:16, October 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, okay. That's a fun list, but I don't think it makes sense as a category. I think people will be confused by it the same way that I was -- the Swedish Chef "dying" in the murder mystery episode is pretty obscure. It's also a little uncomfortable seeing Mr. Hooper in the same category as characters who pretended to die in a show... -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:25, October 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I mean Hornean coined "Deceased Characters" simply to match the page Characters who have died, so that will be very confusing to have both a category and page for dead characters. I guess maybe we should consider the Deceased Characters category to be deleted to avoid a conflict with the Characters who have died page. -- Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:31, October 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why you mention Hornean unless you're referring to some conversation outside the Wiki. The history shows you're the one who created the category and added the tags. We don't duplicate lists as categories, nor do category groupings of characters ever belong in Category:Character Lists (since a category isn't a list). So yeah, I'm going to fix that. Also, Max, what was up with your edits to Ron Nessen? We've been fixing that, but did you just assume the puppet in the pic with Nessen was meant to be him (when actually it looks more like Anthony Perkins, and in any event it's not from an actual aired sketch, just either something that was dropped or a publicity still) and guess who may have performed him from that image, or what? If so, please try to avoid it in the future. Frankly Max, you've been returning to a lot of the odd behavior which got you blocked here before. So please be careful. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:50, November 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, never mind, I see now that he did add the tag to one or two pages before you created the category based on that. Avoid that next time though. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:59, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, you can count on me, Andrew! -- Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:15, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Odd edit summaries
Hi, Max. I've noticed you have an odd habit in your edits of actually cutting and pasting from edits made by others (usually admins) and applying them in situations where they don't always fit. Or contradicting yourself. Your edit to TV Land copies an old edit summary of mine: "we don't need a gallery of every TV network logo, not relevant to the Muppets." Your actual edit? Adding two network logos that aren't really needed. Why are you doing this? Is it to save time, or are you trying to hide your edits? Regardless, please stop, and if you read a specific policy statement by an admin in an edit summary, take it seriously, but don't cut and paste it or try to apply it yourself in a completely different circumstance (i.e. taking redlinks out of a Sesame Street season page and then copying that summary when taking one out of a Sesamstrasse page which a specific user is at that time building guides for). Thank you. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:08, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'm sorry, Andrew Leal! I won't do it again! I promise! -- Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:10, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Records and CD's
Hi, Max! Sorry to keep bugging you, but you still amaze me! Where in the world did you find the picture of The Whole Burbank Catalog? I found out about it a while ago, along with the number, but I could never find a picture. And then I saw that Danny found the picture of the Rarest of the Rare CD you found out about! I never even knew about that one at all until you made the page! You're doing as well with records and CD's as you are with videos! Keep it up! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:42, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Of course I will keep up with records and CD's, Ken! *Scouts Honor* BTW, I found the picture of The Whole Burbank Catalog from here: -- Max (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:32, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
