Ce-nav
Hey babe: I changed Ce-nav a little bit. Is that okay? -- Danny (talk ) 10:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I liked that the Name That Puppet section was more contained. I kinda takes over the bar otherwise. Also, it leaves space for other things in the future. But, I'm not married to it. -- Scott Hanson (talk ) 13:53, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, there's only two things on the bar -- Name That Puppet and Images Wanted -- and I think NTP is the more interesting and often-used one. I just found it hard to hit the small target of the little (Solved), and I think anybody who isn't already familiar with the NTP/Solved structure would find that baffling. -- Danny (talk ) 15:05, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'm fine with it. Like I said, I'm not married to it. -- Scott Hanson (talk ) 15:06, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Image Reaping
Hey Scott, just as a general query, since you've been so gung ho on the unused images lately, how long is a pic allowed to stay before it's deleted? I sometimes upload several images at once, but it may take me a day or two to create a page for it. And of course, deleted images can't be recovered unless one re-uploads them. Andrew Leal (talk ) 04:12, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hm, I didn't really have a policy in mind. Earlier inthe week I went through and removed 250 images that haven't been used as far back as December. When I got up to images that have been here for a month, I was on such a roll that I figured, "if they're not being used, they're not being used." I figure if it's beena week and no one has done anything with it, it's subject for removal. Unless someone puts a note onthe image page askign to leaving it for some reason. I left some of yours up as I saw you and Danny had been discussing the Jack Davis pics. So I figured I'd let you guys figure that stuff out. But a note should suffice I would think. -- Scott Hanson (talk ) 04:21, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * That makes sense, though it does mean a few actually useful images get lost (some of User:Pawnshopsign's stuff from Hey Cinderella, like the band image; it's been years since I've seen the special and as you know I'm anti-stub, so I couldn't create the page myself). In a few cases, images get lost because of rollbacks or edits (two images from Shrinkel and Stretchel, which I still need to find time to go back and recode). And of course, you removed your "Ozzie" credit before I've had time to make an Ossie Davis page (since as far as I can tell, he never appeared in person on Sesame Street, though he did guest on Between the Lions). I mean, a lot of the images are like Gunge, where a better one was uploaded with a different label, but I just think, depending on the image and the user, a little more time on a few might help.

 * Oh, and the knowledge that Rizzo the Rat played Charles Thomson in I Love Liberty amuses me inordinately. Now if only he had sang "Is Anybody There?" Andrew Leal (talk ) 04:41, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, that's good for us to remember... We've been on a clean-up roll lately, but we don't have to delete images that have only been around for a little while. By the way, Andrew, I don't consider a page with a picture to be a stub. I'm really only opposed to pages that are nothing but a category tag. And Scott, it makes me very happy to see that you jumped on I Love Liberty right away. Yay! -- <font color="Blue">Danny  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 10:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Newbie question
Should all series, books, etc. be italicized? I was looking at the Gerry Parkes page and wondering. It's a great page, but the formatting seems kinda all over the place. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Martha (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * You asked Scott, but I'll answer... Yes, books, TV shows, specials and movies should be italicized. Song titles are in quotes. There's probably something else that I'm forgetting. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:13, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * What Danny said. In addition, album titles are also in italics and episode names are in quotes (not including episodes where we only go by a number like for The Muppet Show and Muppets Tonight. We've been writing those like this: episode 512 . Fraggle Rock episodes, for example, are formatted like this: "Let the Water Run"
 * You're doing awesome -- I'm so glad you're here! -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:39, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Statue of Liberty
Hey, whenever you get around to it: There's another Statue of Liberty picture in The Sesame Street 1976 Calendar. I'd add it, but I don't have that one. Also, who plays George Washington in that calendar? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:14, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Oddly enough, Bert is Lady Liberty and General Washington. -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:28, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Sweet! I love the new pictures! I just found a new moon example, too, which I'll post later on today... -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:53, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Animal Show videos
I have the two Animal Show videos; I just added them. I'll give them to you when I see you; I don't really need them. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:01, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Maestro's orchestra
Hey babe: Is it okay if I condense the members of Mr. Maestro's orchestra into one page? There's nine pages for them, and they all say essentially the same two sentences. We could easily put all of their names and instruments onto Mr. Maestro's page. Would that be all right? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 15:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * S'fine with me. -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 15:10, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Cool, thanks! Do any of them actually speak on the album? The credits on the album page only list a performer for Mr. Maestro. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 15:13, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, they all speak, but Maestro is the only one credited. -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:26, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Canteen
The Piggy/Rowlf rehearsal in the Danny Kaye was in a rehearsal room, not the canteen. Or did you mean that the canteen set was re-used? And I think the prairie dogs were in the rehearsal room in the Crystal Gayle ep, but I'm not sure. -- ''<font color="Blue">Erik (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:09, 6 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Oops, that's my bad. I was going by memory, and I was seeing their staircase that must have been reused for the same set. I guess we could use a rehearsal room page then. -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:11, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Elmo's World
I made the Elmo's World episode list... Is it okay for me to delete the pages?

In other news, hooray for the new Statue of Liberty pic! Nicely spotted. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:48, 5 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Cool, now we'll know what pages we need and we haven't lost any information. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:49, 5 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, sorry I didn't do that first! I stupid. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Yay
The TMS locations stuff is awesome. I love the pictures on the Backstage page! You got nice shots. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:19, 5 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I had to composite a couple of them in order to make them work right. I was about to find some more backstage angles, but I'm tired and heading to bed now. -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:21, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

A new trick
Hey babe: I forget who I saw do this first, but a couple days I learned a new trick for alphabetizing stuff in a category. If you leave a space in the category tag, it alphabetizes without having a character as the first letter. I just used it in Muppet Calendars, like this:. It works! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:14, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey, neat! Now if I can only figure out how to fix our signatures. -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:19, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * What are you trying to fix about them? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:30, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * The talk links in even numbered replies are bolded and stripped of their hot link. -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I didn't notice that! How bizarre. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 14:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've been dicking with the code on the Sandbox, and I can't figure it out. I've even been looking at the page's HTML code, and I can't see what's blocking it there either. -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 14:11, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Episode template
I made an episode template for the guides. What do you think? Am I missing anything? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:25, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * How about home video availability? Dynamic, of course. -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:31, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * What if it's available on multiple videos? I think that might work better as a heading on the page. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I like the idea of having it in a consistent spot. It would be nice if we could include it in the template. I'd be for making a rule that the link has to be simple, like: DVD... which would help keep in neat in cases of multiples. If we can't make it work, I'm not married to the idea. Just that it's nice to have certain info in a familiar spot. -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:55, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I like consistency too... I think that would get messy in the template, though. There's four different video releases for Episode 101: Beginnings. I'll try the template out, and if there's other stuff that should be in it, we can change it up. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:04, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
