Muppet Babies DVDs Question
Scott,

I've been attempting to build up my Muppet Babies collection and was trying to track down the DVDs that came out with those plush toys a few years ago. As I'm sure you know they're very hard to find, but I noticed that you had posted some DVD quality pictures on each of the 4 episode pages of those episodes (Daily Muppet,Piggy's Hyperactivity Book, Gonzo's video Show, 8-1 = Panic). So I wondered if that means you had access to those copies and whether it would be able to get copies myself? Thanks for your time.

How would I be able to implement the  on my wiki? I've tried, but it doesn't work. I also can't find where the fbox id comes from. SSgtGriffin 02:37, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Possible Jake cameo
I was watching the Dance Myself to Sleep (Michael Jeter's version) on Sesamestreet.org, and I noticed a stuffed polar bear that appeared to be Jake the Polar Bear. He had the same bow-tie and glasses. If it is Jake, should this go in Inside Jokes? --Edward Rankin ( talk ) 01:06, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

The New Muppet Movie's working title
Hey Scarecroe, I just found out that it was rumored that the new muppet movie would be called "The Muppets" but actually it's a working title. Click here: boxofficemojo.com Shouldn't we put this on the Muppet movie news page!? Please Respond! ---TheElectricMayhem 11:32, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Totally awesome 80s
Normally I wouldn't suggest stuff for the Today on Facebook thing, but it just cracks me up that we have such awesome 80s throwback informercial/commercial references on the wiki now like Hair Club, Epilator, and Girls Gone Wild (which is more 90s, but still sweet). -- Nate (talk ) 17:23, August 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Haha, nice! I'll put em in the queue and maybe do em in bulk or something. —Scott ( talk ) 17:27, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Antagonists
I created the category of antagonists because I believe there should be a category of the villains of the Muppets and more. User:Mbvnmrlpnle (talk )

Funky Phantoms
You beat me to blocking "Leaker." I took a glance at that weird little Wiki he started, and he has odd patterns, blocking anyone who steps foot in his space, and cutting and pasting comments from our own block list, some dating back to 2008! I guess the Wiki application process is a lot simpler than it used to be (still, if he keeps his crazy there and leaves us alone, fine with me). -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 01:38, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the wiki creation process is instant now. My favorite is w:c:elmosaysboohalloween, to which I say, let em have their crazy ;) —Scott ( talk ) 02:20, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the move and taking the stuff for my user page. You saved me some work. :) You ROCK!!! -- Nate (talk ) 21:04, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's not work, it's fun! —Scott ( talk ) 21:28, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Except I've got too much fun I wanna do on here and not enough time lately. lol. I've got an idea for Muppet Magazine I'm gonna run by you real soon too. I'm kinda excited about it. -- Nate (talk ) 22:08, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yay! 'Too much to do and not enough time to do it in' has been my motto since we started the wiki ;) —Scott ( talk ) 22:10, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

OK Go as The Electric Mayhem's Road Manager
Hey I was wondering, I don't know if you've seen it but that video with OK Go, Animal, and Floyd. The one called Danimal vs Animal. It's the one with the drummer having a staring contest with Animal while Floyd is just watching them. So they make a bet that if Animal wins the drummer becomes their new road manager for the next year. Should we put this in the Manager section of the The Electric Mayhem's page? ---TheElectricMayhem 08:47, August 1, 2010 (UTC)TheElectricMayhem

New Henson bio
Hey babe: I saw an announcement for a new (grown-up) Henson biography written by Brian Jay Jones, to be published by Ballantine. Currently untitled, written with the blessing of the Henson family. Here's a link to Jones' official site. I'm telling you about it because I know you like these things. :)

So -- probably needs an In Development page. We already have Untitled Jim Henson biography for Ron Powers' 1993 book... Any ideas for what to call the new page? -- Danny (talk ) 11:59, July 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, very cool! I'll look it over and do something with it. —Scott ( talk ) 16:44, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Today on Muppet Facebook
My suggestion for the Facebook feature: Mike Ruiz. I don't think this was ever discussed anywhere, was it? At first I thought it was fake, but apparently she did follow Janice's advice and took her clothes off for the arts! — Julian (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:06, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * We talked about that photo on the forum a while ago and I forgot about it. I'm glad it's on the wiki! —Scott ( talk ) 01:25, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for featuring! I have another fun suggestion for you... priceless Japanese Elmo t-shirts, proudly proclaiming "I ♥ BS". (It's actually part of an entire "Beach Sound" line, but don't tell anyone just yet!) ;) — <font color="Blue">Julian (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 14:09, July 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think people were afraid to click on the link, because no one Liked the feature that day! First time that's happened :·O —Scott ( talk ) 16:07, July 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh wow! Though I can understand it in a way... this Piggy poser looks either strangely awkward, or awkwardly weird. — <font color="Blue">Julian (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:43, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Illustrated Cameo
Hey Scott. You are good at stuff like this. I started a talk page for it, but can you spot anyone else in the crowd scene? I'm not sure if Frank is next to Jim, and if that might be Kermit Love or Jon Stone in there as well. There is a close up shot of Jim on Jim Henson Cameos. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 18:03, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Kissing Muppets
Hi, there!

Would you mind deleting this page for me: User:Gribbaziggy /Kissing Muppets Thank you. Also, love how Kissing Muppets looks now. How did you adjust it so that the Tim Curry pic lined up right?

EDIT: Ah, I see. You changed the picture. :-P --Justin 01:44, July 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, all set. —Scott ( talk ) 01:55, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Milo counting
Hi. I Edited the milo counting page. It seems very clear to me that the Milo counting Skeches was animated by jane aaron animater of the ornate numbers sketches. Mainly because of some locations used in Milo counting appear in ornate numbers sketches Like the diner when He counts to seven.the diner appears in The "P" sketch.as well as the "8" Skech.Also I have searched the internet of who Plays Milo but to no avail.It will remain a mystery of who portrayed Milo

Talk:Scooter
Hey, Scott, when you get a chance, could you weigh in? It's the old bugaboo of "Can we put [insert recast here] in the main box," but the change on Robin the Frog in April (which you didn't make but okayed, so Jesse did it; I missed it when it happened) made the user wonder. We've had an unofficial "major performer policy" (covering all other performers either in a "Casting History" subheading or just a note in the text, especially if it's only one or two appearances recently) but this crops up often enough that this might be a good time to agree as admins on standards to add to the Policies and Guidelines page (as an opposite situation, for example, we have the Swedish Chef; Max was asking on the talkpage who plays him now, when it's been Bill Barretta for over a decade and with increasing frequency these days, and only a handful of substitutions in that time). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:56, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Jim Henson's Muppet Stories
Hey Scott. I saw that you tweeked it a little before I could ask you about it, but how do you think Stories to Share looks? I got the idea for doing a table for the series of books, as well as The Sesame Street Treasury and The Sesame Street Library. Kermit's All-Time Favorites is how we originally had the pages, with a gallery for each story (with one picture scan). Stories to Share has the table that I got the idea for using, and Stories to Grow On is another option that I thought of, using the pictures on the left hand side of the page. I'm fond of Stories to Share myself, especially if we use it for the other series of books (which is one of my long term project that I want to start working on). I'll throw this out to others to see what they think looks best too. Let me know what you think. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 21:57, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it works! The balance on the page is a bit better now that there's not so much white space before the table starts. —Scott ( talk ) 00:39, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Skeep
Hey I was wondering, I was on Muppets.com today and right when I went to the home page a small video started playing where the Muppet News Flash segments are shown. It was of Kermit at FAO Schwarz introducing Fozzie Bear and his new discovery/partner Skeep. He's a green Muppet Whatnot from the store. So you know it's like any other muppet video, dancing, telling jokes, and then Kermit asks Skeep if he wants to join the Muppets and he says sure.

Ok, so the reason I wrote this was because I want to know if I can make a page for Skeep. I want to ask you so then if I do it and then I get banned or something. So, can I? ---PixarFan 06:01, July 1, 2010 (UTC)PixarFan

New Star Wars stuff
Didn't know if you knew, but a new set of Muppet Star Wars pins are coming out, and I figured you would love them. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 19:21, June 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I just saw you upload that :) I spent a few minutes trying to find them in higher res, but they must be new as I could track them down. —Scott ( talk ) 19:32, June 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, they came out last month, and it has taken me this long to upload them. lol. I searched online for individual pictures of the pins, and can't find any good shots of them either. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 20:22, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Jim Henson's Fantastic World
Hey Scott. I'm guessing you've hit up the exhibit and I've got a random question for you about it. Was there any merchandise created for sale in the gift shops on the tour? We're heading up to Chicago when it opens there, but I'm curious (especially after seeing a Lego exhibit here in town and picking up the coolest magnet made for the show). I'm kinda hoping that maybe they did a booklet or magnet or something. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 22:48, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Heya. Both times I went, I was there until closing hours and they had already closed up the gift shop. The museum hosting the exhibit made up some postcards that I got for free on the way in though. Sometimes they'll make a magnet or something out of that to purchase, but I didn't get to it in time. Which didn't matter much to me as I was just trying to get as much info down into my notebook as possible :) —Scott ( talk ) 23:04, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Glad to know I won't be the only one there doing what you did. LOL. I've been told that me and another of my Muppet loving friends will be left at the exhibit, and they will come back and get us at closing time. lol. I cannot wait to go!!!! -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 23:10, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Muppets Halloween
Great work on The Muppet Halloween Show Scott! I love that we still seem to be finding things like this! Where did you come across this? At the exhibition? Wozza 17:27, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the primary source is the exhibit. Isn't that wild? —Scott ( talk ) 20:09, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Alec's a Closer
Hey, where did this pop-culture video come from? I'd like to use it as a source for an unaired sketch with Alec Baldwin (a clip is shown of it is shown at 3:23). - Oscarfan 03:08, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's been floating around and it sort of fell in my lap. —Scott ( talk ) 04:12, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Even More Scans
Hey Scott. I know your "to do" list is huge as well, but do you already have scans of Muppet Babies' Classic Nursery Rhymes? I know you had incredible scans from Muppet Babies' Classic Children's Tales, so I wondered if you maybe had the Nursery Rhymes as well. I'm on a big kick to get the nursery rhyme pages spiffed up, and now that I started the Wee Willie Winkie page, I am lacking a picture to go with it, and would love the one from the book. All this of course if you even have the book. lol. Plus I know you still want to get all the calendars scanned and everything else. sigh. If we only were multiple people. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk )


 * Yeah, I can scan from that. Eventually. Are there any others from that book that we need? —Scott ( talk ) 19:17, June 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * When you get to it yeah there are. I'd love to have Ring Around the Rosie, Georgie Porgie, This Little Piggy, Rain, Rain, Go Away, Little Boy Blue, Simple Simon, Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater, Jack Be Nimble, and Hickory Dickory Dock. Which only leaves She Sells Seashells, only because I don't know what I'd use it for, unless I did an article on tongue twisters (which might just inspire me to do such a thing). I really just need to pick up the book if I could find it, but your scans are always twenty times better then mine. So thanks in advance my friend. And do them at your own pace. :) -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 19:32, June 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * So, basically every page from the book ;P I'll get to it eventually, although I'd like to finish the calendars first. —Scott ( talk ) 19:42, June 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Pretty much. lol. And take your time. I'm equally excited to see the calendars. Especially the older Sesame Street ones which I'm anxious to mine for fun stuff! -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 19:56, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

New Background
Wow, I love it! - Oscarfan 01:49, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I second that! Awesome choice! Jesse ( talk ) 01:51, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, fellas -- I'm glad you like it! —Scott ( talk ) 02:01, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it looks good too. I wish it were a little bit narrower though -- if I'm not on full screen it cuts off the left side quite awkwardly. File:Newskincutsoff.png. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:06, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's odd. For me, it changed so that the center is extremely narrow. More like a blog. I kinda like it (I think), and I LOVE the new background skin. --Justin 02:29, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * The fixed width is becoming a web standard. Sites are being designed now to fit 1024 screens, shown as a column for higher resolutions. Because there's more background space, a lot of designers are getting clever with putting up wallpaper to fill that space even though there's no useful information. Wendy, I may be able to rig up a workaround if you prefer. —Scott ( talk ) 02:47, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks Scott; I'm ok clicking out to full screen. I was more disturbed that it doesn't size well -- getting cut off on the left rather than just scrolling either way.... I know it's the standard thing. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:48, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Scott, let me chime in and praise the new background idea as well! I really like it. Also, it's so good to be back to an adjusted page width; it makes editing so much easier when working on a widescreen monitor, knowing that most of us still get the same results now (especially when facing picture/gallery placement issues). About the background idea, I like that the body is scrolling along, as the collar stays put. What I don't like as much is the choice of 70s soap green tones and the paper texture of the background.

May I propose to the community a slight tweak of the background? I took actual photos of Kermit and adjusted them to your original shape, resulting in a Kermit green collar "made from" his very own felt, and a Kermit green body out of his actual fleece. I even tried to make the Wikia logo stand out a little better on the background. If you guys approve, I'd be happy to replace the png-files in the image chamber to give it a test run.

I really hope that I don't come off as being smart-alecky or even offensive with this proposal; I only mean to help make things a little more cool than they already are. Please give the image a click (hide/minimize the Contents list on the right if you don't see it yet) and let me know what you think! — <font color="Blue">Julian (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:30, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the kind words, Julian :) Your suggestion has me intrigued. Can you email me the PSD files so I can create a mock-up skin? —Scott ( talk ) 20:45, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you're intrigued. The files are on their way! :) — <font color="Blue">Julian (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:41, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yay, it's so cool to see this happening. Scott and I have been banging our heads against the background for years; it's taken a long time to figure out something good! I have a question about the body texture moving when you scroll -- is that intentional? It feels weird to me. I've seen a couple people in the office going to a Muppet Wiki page and then spending time scrolling and trying to figure out what's happening with the background texture, instead of paying attention to the page. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:45, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I should be able to adjust the texture so it doesn't do that. Julian just sent me some PSD files, so I'm'a gonna play around and see if I can come up with something for folks to look at. —Scott ( talk ) 23:17, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wowee! As much as I love your background, Scott, I adore Julian's "tweeking" of it! Brilliant! I hadn't noticed that the texture moves before you pointed it out, Danny. Now that's all I'm gonna think about when I come on here. :-P --Justin 23:58, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Awesome, sounds great. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with Julian's version; it looks cool. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:30, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

So, what's the status on giving the photo version a try? — <font color="Blue">Julian (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:19, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I just need to test it out on a test wiki so we can have everyone compare the two. I'll post in Current Events as soon as possible. Possibly later tonight. —Scott ( talk ) 19:51, June 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey Scott, any idea yet as to when we can compare? If you need any help, let me know! — <font color="Blue">Julian (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 09:45, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ack, I should have done this yesterday, but I completely forgot. I have a post-it note on my laptop, so hopefully today. —Scott ( talk ) 16:55, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's just another post-it note. ;) — <font color="Blue">Julian (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:11, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Question from JimmyJohnJoe
Hey I was wondering, you've been changing my edit's to the main page to the version before that but I don't know if you noticed what else I edited, which was at the bottom before you changed it back. When it's talking about how the muppet show spinned off into a popular series of movies it only listed the first four. So I added the two other theatrical muppet movies that weren't listed but then you changed it back to the version before that. If you did notice I did that, that's fine but I'd really appreciate if you let me list those two movies that aren't there again. -- JimmyJohnJoe ( talk ) 21:04, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Category stump
Hey kid, any suggestions as to what category National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration could go in? -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 20:45, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Gosh, that's a tough one. We might want to open it up for discussion on the talk page. Thanks for starting the article! I've been seeing these for years on the internet and never thought of starting an article here. You found way more information than I knew about. —Scott ( talk ) 20:54, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks Scott. I've seen them too, but decided to finally look into it and see what I could find out. I'm wondering though if the Muppets Studio will allow an authorized logo on the plane. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 20:59, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Adventure in the Arts
Hey babe -- I think I remember that you had copies of further "Adventure in the Arts" specials -- that The Muppets on Puppets was just one of several. I don't think we have the other ones on the wiki... Am I misremembering, or are we missing that?

Also, we have a page for Volume See, with a similar type show. On the talk page, it's suggested that "Adventure in the Arts" is a segment on Volume See, which doesn't seem right. Do you know anything that would clear that up? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 15:53, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I have those. One of the many things I haven't gotten to adding here yet. I think Volume See is just that channel's way of packaging the programs, a la Adventure in the Arts. I'll dig back into those and figure it out. —Scott ( talk ) 16:18, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's what I think too re: Volume See. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:21, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

I havent watched them for a while but here are some memories. The other two are in colour and are called 'Muppet Puppet Plays' and 'Muppets Make Puppets' (I think). They are both 30 minutes. Jim, Frank and Don all feature along with Kermit, Harry the Hipster, the blonde little girl puppet from the Ed Sullivan sketch and Rowlf. They seem to be originally made by WIPTV and all come under the 'Adventures In The Arts' banner. I'll try and make a more detailed list with screengrabs soon Wozza 12:14, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Awesome -- thanks, Warrick! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:54, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Muppets Tonight
Through the postings on Youtube, I've found quite a few goofs on Muppets Tonight. So far, I've found about 5, but only due to a limited amount of episodes available. Is it worth making a "Muppets Tonight Goofs" page? --Edward Rankin ( talk ) 02:36, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, that would fit with the others in Category:Goofs. —Scott ( talk ) 03:13, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * When did the page comes?? Answer me when the page is finish at my talk page

IP Check
When you get a chance, could you run an IP check on this user? I'm pretty sure it's a returnee but even if so it might not show, having been awhile. So far the Animal Show obsession and style (including a certainly misspelled name like Monicia the Musk Ox) is Dean-esque, but it could be someone similarly minded. I wish I knew how to run IP checks. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:08, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * That user is logging under two IPs -- 76.226.189.211 and 99.131.42.214 -- neither of which match any other usernames in the staff checkuser tool. I'm beginning to think we don't keep those logs for very long, possibly no more than even 30 days (or it may just be malfunctioning). So we may have to just rely on the quality of edits being made under the information that's available to us and block as needed. —Scott ( talk ) 02:07, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

'Fred, get me a 20!'
Hi, Scott! Just wondering, did you (or another Muppet Wiki administrator) recently remove my article on 'Fred, get me a 20!' starring Joe Raposo? I remember posting a page about an episode which contained it, then you said that you removed it because of lack of evidence that the particular episode existed. However, I remember you or someone mentioning that the 'Fred' clip would be a good one in itself to document, so that's what I did - create an article about the clip in itself (like I did with the gymnast). Just curious - why was it removed? Thanks, Jon. <font color="Blue">Jon (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:08, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Jon, it looks like someone else deleted it. We don't keep pages for stand-alone live-action sketches on Sesame Street, and especially not with fan-made titles. —Scott ( talk ) 04:55, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, Scott, thanks for responding. Then I take it that the page I wrote about the gymnast is OK because that is a multi-part series, right? Just curious. Thanks in advance. <font color="Blue">Jon (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 5:20, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Andrea Bocelli & David Foster: My Christmas
Hi, Scott! I was curious why you deleted the DVD cover of the Andrea Bocelli Christmas special. Can we put it on the bottom of the page in a gallery? Then I can move the video information under it, like we have for other specials. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:05, May 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * I didn't see how it was very relevant to the article. But if you really like it, a gallery would work. —Scott ( talk ) 19:35, May 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I just like noting video availability of specials that the Muppets appear in, because sometimes people don't know about it. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:11, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Dolittle Video
Hey Scott. I actually found a video press clip (although not the greatest quality) of the stage version of Doctor Dolittle. I'm hopeless at trying to figure out how to convert it so we could perhaps add it to the page here. Anyway I could twist your arm into helping? -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 23:46, May 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's actually pretty easy to put a video on a page. Click edit on the article, and choose the video button from the edit menu (if you have it disabled, you can turn it back on again in your preferences). From there, it's pretty self explanatory. —Scott ( talk ) 00:09, May 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I hope I don't sound too much like Grover when I say this, but THAT IS SO AMAZING! I had no idea it was that easy! THANK YOU SCOTT! -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 00:17, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Henson regular
Remember the discussion of giving Henson Post-2004 content only 1 page? It gave me the idea to create a regular Henson Company Wiki. Could you help out with it? . --Rankin ( talk ) 21:39, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

New version of File:E&b-pigeonparty.jpg
SesameStreet's YouTube Channel has just uploaded this sketch. I captured a much clearer mostly identical screenshot to the one you uploaded a few years back. Is it alright to upload a new version of it, or is what we have just fine? Jesse ( talk ) 21:14, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * The official version from SW is better quality, so we could certainly use the upgrade. —Scott ( talk ) 21:30, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Done. Jesse ( talk ) 21:33, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Awesome! —Scott ( talk ) 22:02, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Horny Aliens
I recently recreated an article on the Horny Aliens from Puppet Up. I noticed that Tough Pigs deleted this article. Is there any special reason why. Also I do not own a pic of the aliens, is there a way I could take the pic from the page on Aiens and reproduce it on this new page? -- User:Wiseman777 07:24, May 16, 2010

Help!
Hey, Scarecroe! Sorry I haven't been editing lately, but Toughpigs has blocked me.

Talk:Dinah!
Hi, Scott! I know you're busy as all get out, but when you get a chance, there's a conundrum brewing over Dinah!, specifically the "other guests" sentence (added by Warrick in the earliest incarnation and not found anywhere else). You added a lot of details, but I wasn't sure if you'd seen it or received a summary from Karen Falk or someone. If the former, depending on how much they showed, maybe you can say whether anybody appeared outside of the guests in the picture. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:06, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

"Scrap-Fi-Ap"
I was just trying to change "Sclrap Flyapp" to "Scrap-Fi-Ap," which is what the skit is called on the Muppets Magic DVD, but I wasn't able to change the title of the article. How can I do that?

From Ian
Thank you very much, Scarecroe! I promise to always answer every message I get. And I'll do whatever you want me to do (unless I have my hands too full) Please leave a message! Thanks, again! - :) Ianmhaiki

P.S. I have a question. I know that Season 10 has the credit crawl with the train tracks and the canyon and Season 12 introduced the Barkley credits. What credit crawl does Season 11 feature? Please leave a message, so I can post it on the "Sesame Street Theme" page.

Sincere Apologies
I'm very sorry that I am not doing the right things for Muppet Wikia. I don't wish to be blocked. I cross my heart that I will do better. - Ianmhaiki

Tank Girl
Hello. I noticed that the mentions that I found in the Tank Girl comics have been taken off the wiki. And a few of my additions to the wiki have been taken off. I wasn't sure if there was a problem. I'm kind of new so I'm not sure how to ready type on the wiki much. -- User:Hensonfan 12:22, April 4, 2010

Revert to Doozers
Out of curiosity, why is the "active development" status not relevant to the average reader. If Decode's at least pretending to be still working on it, isn't that better than the old info, as it reveals production hasn't been reached. -- Zanimum 17:36, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Gigantic Rubber Duckie
Hey, Scott. I was going through the wiki looking for Ernie episodes when I recalled an episode I saw when I was younger; I can't remember all the details, but I think it had the Amazing Mumford accidently enlarging Ernie's rubber duckie. And when he got it smaller, it shrunk another duck. Do you know which episode this was? --Rankin ( talk ) 19:47, March 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that. —Scott ( talk ) 19:47, March 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * By the way, you know how I keep on saying John Tartaglia performed Oscar at least once, except I had no source? I have a source; John Tartaglia's page on this wiki. --Rankin ( talk ) 19:58, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Miss Piggy Life Cover
Hey Scott, you told me that the Life magazine cover of Miss Piggy was a real cover. I never said that wasn't true. It's a mock cover because even though it's a real cover, Miss Piggy was NOT really running for president. So saying it's a mock cover IS correct. -- User:DartNMao 20:04, March 28, 2010


 * "Mock cover" implies that the cover is a joke, and there's no way to call it a mock cover without that claim. Miss Piggy's *campaign* was mock (it occurred in the Gilchrist comics too), as is common with comic strip or other fictional characters (or Pat Paulsen) running for president. So that's why Scott keeps reverting you, since to change the caption implies it's a fake (especially given that a number of calendars and other projects *have* involved mock magazine covers or movie posters, so a clear distinction needs to be kept). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:44, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Naked Muppets
Hello! If possible, could you further explain how "Muppets" in this case is a proper noun? To me, proper nouns are used like in instances when someone refers to "The Muppets". However, I think this page isn't a proper noun because it's "muppets" that are naked. I am not sure if there are proper times to use "muppet" as a common noun; maybe there are guidelines that you could point me to. Thanks, Matt H.  ( talk ) 23:29, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, Matt. Muppet is a copyrighted property that is always capitalized. —Scott ( talk ) 23:31, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, but even if it was copyrighted, would there be any instances where "muppets", as a common noun, can be uncapitalized? Matt H.  ( talk ) 23:33, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nope, it's always capitalized. —Scott ( talk ) 23:39, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ugh, sandbox loss
Hey, Scott! Let me know if you can figure out what happened to Sandbox:International Bert. I know the sandbox was reworked but that was to test a format change (which Danny first pushed for and then never did feel like really weighing in on to finalize, so it was stuck there), but it had unique images and information *not* on International Bert (which I figured out by googling is how they got unmoored. There's no undelete option for that sandbox, so I'm going through the deletions history to try to figure out how to get anything back, but if you find it (or if you see any other masses of unused images uploaded years ago), let me know (or maybe move the images to the image chamber until things can be fixed). I noticed all the sandbox jiggerypokery but most of us hadn't really twigged as to some of the actual relevant stuff which was dumped or lost. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:13, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, I found out what happened. Deleting the sandbox namespace basically made it all permanently unretrievable. Bah humbug. Now I'll have to hunt up details from appropriate dub pages. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:18, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, I think you're right about the namespace. Let me muck around in WikiFactory and see if I can figure out a way to restore it. Also, I just did a sweep in Special:UnusedFiles and may have nuked some unused photos of international voice people, so you might want to look at the logs for anything you might want to restore. —Scott ( talk ) 01:24, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's how I twigged to it (when I saw a few nuked as "unused" and I thought "Wait a minute, I know those had homes...") I did find a Google cache of that page fortunately, so if you can't figure anything out, it's taken care of (except now I'm too tired to actually do so, but I *will* get to it in the next day or so). On the whole, most of the nuked sandbox pages were cruft, tests that weren't deleted, or in some cases really actually argument tools (some of Brad's pages), but a few were useful info parking. Maybe next time if anything like this happens, it can go to current events just so everyone is more fully aware of what's going on and why (rather than just by the activity), but it's also my fault for not taking the time (outside of relabeling all obviously ready pages) to shift through every page during that period (I thought I'd caught any with actual information already, plus we've had relatives visiting and other stuff, so I just wasn't paying enough close attention, except to notice the confusing back and forthing for awhile). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:34, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I thought I was pretty careful not to delete anything useful. Like you said, most of it was test pages, old stuff that had been moved, etc. I did look at the International Bert page and saw that we already had one. I guess I just didn't look close enough to see that it had more info than the one in the regular namespace. —Scott ( talk ) 02:01, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, here it is: User:Sandbox/International Bert —Scott ( talk ) 04:24, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hooray! Thanks, now I can just cut and paste rather than having to copy from the cache manually. I think that's the only one, but if I come across any others, I'll let you know. And yeah, considering how much work was involved in clearing that whole area up, it says a lot if there were one or maybe two exceptions at the most. So kudos! -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:57, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Alternate Puppetry Techniques
Hi! I was wondering if you would mind helping me with something. I would like to move the page User:Gribbaziggy/Alternate Puppetry Techniques to Alternate Puppetry Techniques, keeping the history of both pages intact. I think it looks better with the list made into a gallery, and I'll continue adding the old list to the galleries. Would you mind helping me move that? Thanks! --Justin 02:28, March 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hm, I'm not sure the histories of both can be saved. But I might have an idea on how to do it... —Scott ( talk ) 02:34, March 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I think that worked. —Scott ( talk ) 02:37, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Voices in My Head
Hi! I left a long ramble about it on Danny's talk page, but the gist is, inspired by recent issues to finally do something to address a long-time source of confusion and arguments, I started Muppet Wiki:Name That Voice‎. It's a work in progress, but the major additions will be a link to online voice demos by various Muppeteers or Sesame cast members and so on (only public links of course) and a list of puppeteers webpages (with bios, blogs, or resumes that can be used to source who they played). Take a gander and feel free to add something to the resource list I started, if you know of any. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:04, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

SS books
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there a couple pages of SS books that have a gallery of all the pages? Wattamack4 03:18, March 13, 2010 (UTC)Alex


 * There are. I assume you're asking about the Dictionary edit. Please see the edit summary. —Scott ( talk ) 03:19, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I did. But I just don't know if it's mostly just cause the single image I uploaded looks like crap or if the page just simply doesn't need a gallery (which confuses me if there's other pages that have the same deal). That's what I'm concerned about. Wattamack4 03:25, March 13, 2010 (UTC)Alex


 * The image is of poor quality and has unnecessary text added to it. —Scott ( talk ) 03:31, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, even now that we've added more galleries, we try to avoid what's known as "image farming" (i.e. sticking a ton of images just because we can, while instead we do so because they illustrate something and serve a specific purpose; with out of print books, it can be a little different). The Robin/frogs image is there because it marks his only known appearance in a Sesame book, so it's notable and amusing. If we just wanted to add a bunch of images, I have at least half of the entries myself (from when it was later split up as Big Bird's Sesame Street Dictionary, ala the Treasury). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:33, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I get the idea of the image (which just for the record, I didn't think the text on there wasn't actually part of the book, considering I don't have a copy of it). But as for the image farming thing, I'm guessing galleries of images from SS books is old news? Wattamack4 03:40, March 13, 2010 (UTC)Alex

The Mike Douglas Show
I've got a question for you dating back to 2007! You added to the page that "The Mills Brothers sing to a sketch with Rowlf and Billy and Sue." Did they perform the song live, or was it a recording?

Sandbox as a content namespace
Hey, babe -- I think we talked before about making Sandbox a content namespace. I found out today how to do it, and I tried it out. There are a couple problems associated with it, though, so I wanted to figure out the best thing to do.

If we make Sandbox a content namespace, then that means the following things happen:


 * Sandbox edits show up in My Home, which is helpful for people like me who only use My Home.
 * Sandbox articles get counted in our article count. Not a huge deal, but kind of whatever.
 * Sandbox articles show up in Random page. Also not a huge deal, because our Random page link is just for Muppet characters anyway.
 * Sandbox edits will show up in the Latest activity widget. This is more of a big deal for me -- items in that widget get clicked a lot by anon readers, and it's kind of yucky to have Sandbox experiments showing up there. It's not really putting our best face forward, y'know?

So there are a couple things we can do...


 * Go ahead and make Sandbox a content namespace, clean up the old junk from Category:Sandbox, and live with the Latest activity widget spam.


 * Encourage people to make User subpages instead of Sandbox pages, like User:Toughpigs/Sesame Street toy company history. User subpages show up in My Home, so everyone will see sandbox-type activity, but they won't show up in the article count, random page or the activity widget. (Another way to do this is to use the Muppet Wiki: namespace, that would have the same effect.)

The second one is my preference. We don't even have to clean up old sandbox stuff, just ask people who create new ones to move them to a user subpage instead. What do you think? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:34, February 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not crazy about using User name space. It's hard to go and look at all the pages on the wiki that are in progress. Before we created Sandbox as a namespace, we were using Muppet Wiki: which was okay, except that we had sandbox stuff mixed in with policy pages. Can't we just make Sandbox: behave the same way as Muppet Wiki: so that it shows up in MyHome? Take whatever settings are applied to Muppet Wiki: that make it work the way it does, and do the same thing for Sandbox: —Scott ( talk ) 02:06, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, guys! I noticed that Scott cleaned up the sandbox tonight, and left some pages as Sandbox, while moving others to User names. So if I make any future sandbox pages, which name should I use? -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 07:09, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

New Tech Problem?
I left this on Danny's page, but I thought I should leave it on yours as well. I had a weird thing happen today. I went to add a category to a page by clicking the "add a category" button at the bottom on the page, and when I went to save an error message came up that said, "The modification you tried to make was aborted by an extension hook." Issue with my computer, or something wacky with the wiki? -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 18:17, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Take a look at Rapunzel too, the performer box is causing a shift in the text to start after the pictures. At least for me. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 18:30, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * The performer box is the same IE issue we've talked about. It should be of note that YouTube is no longer supporting IE as a browser, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing support drop for it elsewhere.
 * The first issue sounds like it might have been a database fluke. If you see it again, can you take a screenshot? —Scott ( talk ) 19:27, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know about the performer box, since I'm using IE right now and I'm seeing nothing. Take a screenshot of that one too if you can, Nate. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:37, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * What browser are you using Scott? I had Mozilla on the old computer, but never really felt comfortable with it. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 19:43, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * I use Opera primarily, and I love it because it's customizable. Most people are using Firefox these days though as it appears to be the standard. —Scott ( talk ) 19:53, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, just to clarify -- the dropped-support is only for IE6, not for IE7 or IE8. 6 is now nine years old, and uses a really outdated set of tools. 7 and 8 are much more in line with modern web browsers. So a lot of big websites are dropping support for IE6, because it requires a lot of extra support just to make it work like a real browser, and people should have upgraded to IE7 by now. (IE7 came out in 2006.)


 * So YouTube announced they're dropping support for IE6; I think Facebook may be doing that too by now. Wikia has either already done it or will be doing it soon.


 * As far as I know, Nate and Andrew are using IE8, so it's not a pressing issue for them. That being said, Wikia does look better and work better in both Firefox and Opera, so if this is the website that you visit most often -- and I have to imagine that it is -- then, yeah, an upgrade to one of those browsers could be helpful. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:20, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Star Wars Insider article
Hello, there!

A while ago (as in two or three years ago) you'd asked me about a Star Wars Insider article I have focused on The Muppet Show. I've finally scanned it in to my computer, and here it is:

--Justin 18:14, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wow, thanks for scanning that -- it looks amazing! I can't wait to read through it! —Scott ( talk ) 18:17, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem! I really love that article, especially the part about "Shooting Gonzo into the Canon." I also have an interview with Frank Oz that I could scan in sometime this week. --Justin 19:51, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * As you know, anything Frank Oz is gold ;) —Scott ( talk ) 19:54, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Other images
Hey Scott, I like the idea of protecting the "ripped-lines" remake image on the Frazzle song page so that weird Brandonorf guy (whom I'm also getting a feeling isn't even old enough to be on this site), but it looks as though you may also need to protect the current image on the article for Little Chrissy and the one for the Lavender Frazzletone (which can be seen on the Lavender page), as found and, since because while he can no longer revert the image for Frazzle, by the time he keeps coming back with more and more accounts every time he gets blocked, he may just start moving on to reverting those 2 images just because his favorite "ripped-lines" are in there. What do you think? Wattamack4 14:45, February 24, 2010 (UTC)Alex


 * Oops, I forgot the image for Maurice, as found here. Wattamack4 14:58, February 24, 2010 (UTC)Alex

 * Oh, ok. No prob then. Wattamack4 15:31, February 24, 2010 (UTC)Alex

Cheapest
Hey, babe -- If you have a second, I'd love some input on Talk:The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made! I feel like I'm getting nowhere with Brad. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:46, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Through the Years
What ho! If you get a chance, take a look at Talk:Prairie Dawn Through the Years. It's the old debate as to what criteria to use and what merits a page, but with more people active (and given that the new gallery width capabilities make merging more practical, especially in cases where most of the images are already on the character's main article), we may be able to form a permanent guideline this time and act on it (we've tried more than once before but they've generally been forgotten, ignored, or just stalled). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:47, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Who Was Jim Henson?
That cover terrifies me. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:51, February 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Haha! I kinda like it :) —Scott ( talk ) 05:00, February 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * As a friend of mine remarked, it's Jim Henson as MODOK, or a HODOK (Henson Organism Designed Only for Killing). I've never been a fan of the "big head" approach to celebrity caricature, but combined with the excessive detail and semi-realism, the crow's feet and those horrible, horrible teeth, it's pretty scary. No wonder the disclaimer is on the front (rather than on the back or inside), since the answer to "Who was Jim Henson?" seems to be "He was a bearded monstrosity who survived by eating small children in order to maintain the strength to support his enormous skull." -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:46, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Tech issue?
I can't figure this one out. On the page for The Scarecrow, "Other portrayals" shows up without a gap after the leading paragraphs, and bumps up nice against the the main picture. However, The Cowardly Lion looks the same when I go to edit the page, but there is a big gap afterward. Any idea why? What is it that I'm missing that is causing that to happen. Any clues oh technical guru of the wiki. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 16:13, January 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hm, I'm only seeing it in IE. It's possible that it might be adspace, and the ad isn't loading. The code layout looks identical to me, so I don't think that's it. I can check around and see if I find anything. In the meantime, send me more examples if you find em. —Scott ( talk ) 17:55, January 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's another, Smerdley. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 16:12, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's a third, Lulu's Back in Town -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 20:00, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Spotted another one, Sir Robin the Brave (song) -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 01:22, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the examples. I'm in the SF office this week, and there's someone I keep meaning to ask, but he never seems to be available when I am. —Scott ( talk ) 19:34, February 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem Scott. I've spotted a few more, but didn't leave them because I didn't want to bug you too much with them. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 20:06, February 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * So, it turns out that this is the same issue Andrew has been having with right-aligned images under text headers. Danny just talked to me about it, and I guess he's worked with one of our tech guys on a few different occasions to fix it. But apparently it's just a flaw with IE in the way it handles to css float function. The best we can do with it is to fiddle with the page until we get a better outcome. For example, check out the edit Danny just made to Smerdley. —Scott ( talk ) 20:09, February 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh that's so bizarre. I'm so going to be using Firefox or something else before long at the rate I keep seeing issues with IE while working on the wiki. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 22:24, February 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I uploaded the Smerdley page and picture. Did I do something wrong? --Rankin Fraggle ( talk ) 19:05, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Old School CD's
Hey, Scott! It looks like the anniversary CD set is back on again. Here's its Amazon page. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:21, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I hope that's real! We should reach out to E1 Entertainment and confirm that it's not just a reseller listing a pre-order product with information from the industry ad we saw. —Scott ( talk ) 06:53, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I wrote them a letter way back when they started doing the CD's (I couldn't find an e-mail address), but they never answered me. Maybe now that they've changed their name, they've got new people there. I'll see what I can find out. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 07:42, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Telly And Zoe
On Telly's page, I wrote how Zoe generally did not appear in any scenes with Telly. I don't think anyone mentioned anything about me talking about the rebuilt Zoe? --Rankin Fraggle ( talk ) 02:27, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Signature
Is there a way to change the signatures for talk pages? --TenCents 01:32, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, here's how. —Scott ( talk ) 01:56, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm only doing this to see if I got it, but the Muppet Wiki FAQ page should be updated. --Faker Fraggle 02:07, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I can't get the talk page to be highlighted. --Faker Fraggle ( talk ) 02:17, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Never mind. Thanks! --Faker Fraggle ( talk ) 02:17, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Page moves
I know you're busy, and Danny hasn't noticed either, but when you can, please look at User talk:Wattamack4. I've been trying to explain page moves with him, as far as doing so without either bringing it up for discussion or fixing links. While I did get through to him on the latter, and convinced him to start talk pages concerning First and Last and Captain Vegetable, he went ahead and moved back, impatiently I thought, because Nate gave his opinion (that he dislikes articles that end in "disambiguation.") I left a message for him, but if you could take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. It's been a bit wearisome, and if there is a consensus to move that's fine, but I don't want him to do so after just one response in cases like this, especially when he's already been cautioned as to procedure by an admin. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:06, January 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Andrew, I sent you an email about this so we could supposedly talk more about this via private emails... I am starting to understand a bit more about page movements, and I suppose we can talk more about it through my email if alright. Wattamack4 22:45, January 13, 2010 (UTC)Alex

My favorite moments
Scott, Rockevestro told me that you had clips from all the "My favorite Sesame Street moments" seggments. If that is the case, and if you have the technology, do you think you'd be able to post the one with Julianne Moore talking about The People in Your Neighborhood (song) here or on youtube or something like that? It's my favorite song from the show and I've been wanting to see that for quite a while now. Let me know ASAP. Thanks. Garrettk41 23:47, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Jack Paar Show Photos
Are the items you posted screen images or actual publicity photos? I need to have them reproduced for a historical tv project and am trying to track them down.

Hey, Scott!
Happy New Year! How many sizes of "Image not available" do we have now? I wanted to compare them. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:24, January 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just the two. The new one to use for big galleries. —Scott ( talk ) 17:45, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Discussions
Hi, Scott! Hope you and your offspring are enjoying the holidays! When you get a chance, I'd appreciate it if you could weigh in on Category talk:The Muppets Characters. Mostly, it's because User:Lenny the Lizard has been adding the tag in odd ways (and doing some odd categorization with Category:Muppet Monsters as well) but it's easier to deal with if we can clarify what we decided on things like characters who popped up in a single Ed Sullivan spot or The Great Santa Claus Switch and so on. You might also want to glance at Talk:The Walt Disney Company and Talk:Spitting Image next time you log on. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:43, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Happy Holidays! Thanks for pointing those discussions out. I'll take a look at them and chime in with my two cents. —Scott ( talk ) 22:34, December 31, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd appreciate. Philip's still adding tags, to unseen characters which obviously don't count, to things like Peasants and Swamp demons and Cosmo Scam's henchmen which seem so isolated as one-shots that even if one wants to grandfather characters from specials as somehow being part of "The Muppets" family, generic groups like that don't really fit and just clog up the category to my mind (and they're all in Category:Tales from Muppetland Characters anyway). Plus he's not responding to messages (and apparently never has, from the looks of his talk page, except once) and just ignores edit summaries explaining a change or why things are done a certain way (like the fact that we use asterisks, not hashmarks which create numbers, for lists and filmographies). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:03, January 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I just blocked him since he keeps ignoring all messages and summaries. But when you get a chance, your input would still be useful, so we can clarify for other users and so I can clean up his mess when appropriate (but if you think certain items belong, I trust your judgement more than his, which was basically digging up anything that he could find and tossing it in as part of "The Muppets," when we knew from the start defining that "family" category would have certain limitations and logical limits). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:21, January 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, sorry I didn't get a chance to look at those yet. I'll look at it today. —Scott ( talk ) 17:45, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
