Robot Scott
Yo, I thought you were going to use Croebot to do the bot stuff, so it didn't show up in Recent changes. I'm glad you're doing that stuff; that's cool... -- Danny (talk ) 17:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm having trouble with croebot today. I didn't think it would matter considering similar work we've been doing. —Scott ( talk ) 17:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I hope you can get it fixed soon, because frankly it's a problem if one hasn't been able to check the Wiki in a few hours (I'm still on dial-up, and couldn't get on last night). So I have absolutely no idea what if any notable changes or discussions occurred last night, since the last 500 changes are all the Kermit fix. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 17:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I don't like this. Also it messes up your stats. -- Danny (talk ) 17:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * How is it any different from your recent fixes? —Scott ( talk ) 17:58, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * At the very least, in the future, is there a way to make sure the auto thingummy marks everything as minor changes, which they are? Then they can be hidden. Since otherwise there's no way to hide edits not from a bot but from a single user, who isn't one's self. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 18:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The difference is that I didn't do 2000 fixes in an hour. Even when I did a big run of fixes, you could see what else was happening on the wiki. This is more like Nick making all those useless image tags; it's clogging up Recent changes at the expense of everything else. Is there a way to turn it off now, or do we have to wait for it to go through the entire alphabet? -- Danny (talk ) 18:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I just changed my preferences so that all my edits are marked as minor. —Scott ( talk ) 18:07, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Does that mean it can't be stopped? It's also screwing up your stats, adding an extra 3000 edits that you didn't do by hand.


 * I don't want to be a dick about this -- I'm grateful that you're doing the fix, and I think you're a genius for knowing how to use bots like this. But I thought using Croebot was a good system. If somebody from Wikia came in and did something that screwed up our Recent changes and our stats, you'd be spitting tacks right now. -- Danny (talk ) 18:13, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * That means anyone can hide minor edits in RC. I'll try to get croebot working again. —Scott ( talk ) 18:16, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I know it means that, but that's not the question I'm asking. What I'm asking is: Is the current process that's running going to keep running until it goes through every page, or can you turn it off before it does any more? -- Danny (talk ) 18:20, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Standby, I'm fiddling with AWB and MWB. —Scott ( talk ) 18:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I had to reinstall some applications, but I think I have croebot working again. Please let me know if this is okay with you guys. —Scott ( talk ) 18:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, I don't see anything, so that must mean it's working. Thanks for fixing it; I appreciate it. -- Danny (talk ) 18:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey, dude: Are you running another bot right now as Scarecroe, or are you doing that stuff by hand? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The bot is still running the Kermit task. —Scott ( talk ) 21:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Damn, you're fast. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Not really. I'm just keeping 20 windows open at a time. —Scott ( talk ) 21:07, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Ernest et Bart: Reçoivent Leurs Amis
Hey, curious. Why did you rename? The page says the translation is "Ernest and Bart Meet Their Friends," which doesn't imply a colon should be there, and none appears on the cover album. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:13, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * My bad. I was adding the cedilla and unconsciously added the colon. —Scott ( talk ) 01:16, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

E&B pics
Hey, Scott! On the E&B pics noted below, did you put up some new ones, or just fix some old ones? -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Just fixes some old ones. You can see em in the recent image gallery, probably if you click through a page or two. —Scott ( talk ) 04:53, 8 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Cool. I saw the very top of the Apartment page, and I noticed the logo was gone on Appliance War, and I didn't know if that was a different picture, or if you were able to erase the logo. -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:34, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Jimmy Dean DVD
Hey babe: Where'd you hear about the new The Best of the Jimmy Dean Show DVD? Amazon doesn't have it yet. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:39, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * tvshowsondvd.com —Scott ( talk ) 23:38, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Copy that. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:35, 8 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Roger, roger. —Scott ( talk ) 01:28, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Robot
Do you think the Mike Douglas Show robot is related to Clyde and Charlie? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:42, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Looks like a predescessor. Good catch! —Scott ( talk ) 20:38, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

E&B pics
Yay, the new pics look fabulous. You're awesome. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:56, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I'm overjoyed that we can see the new versions right away. Elated, even. —Scott ( talk ) 23:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Various stuff
Hey, Scott! Did you put the templates inside the pages? Those are really handy to have there!

Also, did you notice that we're halfway to 15,000 articles?

And the Singles page just got awarded Quality status! Yay! Thanks for all your help, especially how you reworked all the coding!

I hope you have a happy 4th of July! What are you going to do? I'm going to be playing records and writing them up! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Bert & Ernie: Side By Side
Can you take a look at this? The inside looks normal to me, but the images aren't going where they're supposed to go. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Born to Add
Thanks for the CD cover! Do you happen to have the Golden tape? I have the record and CD, so I'm guessing that the SS tape will match the record, and the Sony tape will match the CD, and after finding out that the Golden and Sony versions of Sesame Road are different, I was just wondering which version of Born to Add the Golden tape is. The way things are going, it could very well be a third variation!

P.S. I finally figured out what you were telling me about Egypt! Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:16, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yay, I knew you'd get it! As for Sesame Road, I don't have that cassette, sorry. —Scott ( talk ) 04:18, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Redlinked songs
Hey, Scott, is there a way to see what albums a song is on before you create it? I was just curious where else a song appeared, because last week I created a song, and after I created it and hit "What links here", I was surprised to see where else it was mentioned, in albums and articles, too! But when I search for a song that's still red, nothing comes up. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:56, 1 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, if you type the article name into the URL field, say for example Egypt, you can click What Links Here to see what links there. —Scott ( talk ) 23:56, 1 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but could you explain that a little more? I tried it, but it went back to putting your user talk page in the URL field.  (That's the browser thing with Kermit's eye in it, right?) -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:27, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * After you type Egypt in the URL field, hit ENTER (or RETURN). You'll be at a blank page, but still have the What Links Here option in the toolbox. —Scott ( talk ) 03:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I must not be set up the way you are. I put in Egypt, and my computer tried to take me to egypt.com. -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * No, no... type Egypt where the article name would be. —Scott ( talk ) 03:32, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry if I'm not understanding. Are you telling me to go to the section where you try to create a new article?  Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, forget that method :) Try this... type Egypt into the search box and press ENTER on your keyboard. The top of the page will say There is no page titled "Egypt". You can create this page. Click the red link for "create this page" and then click What Links Here in the toolbox. —Scott ( talk ) 03:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I can be kind of dense around computers. That's why my brother's the computer guy in our family, and I'm the music guy.  I kind of did the same thing by going to the help pages and doing something kind of like that.  I wish I could generate a list of exactly what songs are still redlinked without writing them down from every album.  -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It's probably my fault. I have a hard time giving directions. As for redlinked songs, you could always browse through Special:Wantedpages. —Scott ( talk ) 03:51, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Nah, it's me. Well, I'm constantly in every page anyway.  I haven't even started standardizing composer credits.  I'm still creating song pages for the stuff I bought last month in Seattle, and this last week I've been generating a list of all known cassettes.


 * I looked at the Wanted Pages, but there's a lot of them, and I guess they're not in any particular order. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, unfortunately that list isn't filterable by category... but that would be cool! —Scott ( talk ) 04:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
