The Little Jerry image
Hey Scott, just a quick question: Were you trying to upload a new version of that image or revert it? It's hard to tell due to a weird glitch on that image. Wattamack4 19:56, March 26, 2010 (UTC)Alex

Sandbox
Hey, babe -- Why are you moving stuff back to Sandbox? I thought we were going in the other direction, so that people could make changes and have them show up in the activity feed... -- Danny (talk ) 01:04, March 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not done yet -- I was going to post in CE when I was. I'll do that now. —Scott ( talk ) 01:06, March 25, 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)


 * Hey, thanks a lot, Scott! And both histories are there. Very groovy! --Justin 02:39, March 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hooray! And great job on the page -- it looks amazing! —Scott ( talk ) 02:40, March 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I'll be adding some Fraggle Rock stuff soon.--Justin 03:16, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

The Sesame Street Mix or Match Storybook
Thanks for the pictures on that page Scott. That was just a FLOOD of memories for me, as it was one of my favorite books as a kid, and I don't know if it is still buried in a box of kids books at my parents, or if it got passed down to my nephews. Seeing your scans just made me grin ear to ear this morning. -- ''Nate (talk ) 15:30, March 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yay, I'm glad you enjoyed them! Joe Mathieu is a God. —Scott ( talk ) 15:32, March 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * If I could own a single piece of his artwork, I would be a happy man. Of course, if I had to choose it would be this one.  lol  -- ''Nate  (talk ) 16:13, March 18, 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. -- Andrew Leal (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). -- Andrew Leal (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? I'll post this on the talk page as well to see if anyone else knows as well. -- ''Nate (talk ) 19:48, March 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hm, I'll have to do some digging to remind myself. I'll get back to you! —Scott ( talk ) 19:54, March 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey Scott, Did you get my email regarding the Mike Douglas show? Drop me a line wozzay2k AT hotmail.com Wozza 23:36, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I did -- I'm still looking for it! :) —Scott ( talk ) 23:48, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Cool! Wozza 10:26, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Gave a Day and now we're done
Thanks for posting that source on Disney ending Give a Day. Get a Disney Day. I'm a little sad about it, nothing was better then constantly seeing the Muppets in the commericals on TV. I'm guessing the Disney's Honorary VoluntEars Cavalcade parade is now retired as well. -- ''Nate (talk ) 18:05, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Henson Alternative
I started Henson Alternative, but could you help me out on improving the pages. I've got a bit of a rough start. --Rankin ( talk ) 02:10, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Girls Go Gaga
The more we find out about Lady Gaga on the Wiki, the more she scares me. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 22:34, March 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Scary awesome! —Scott ( talk ) 22:34, March 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * It may be partially the realization that if things keep up, she'll eventually rank just behind Whoopi Goldberg in terms of modern celebs who keep getting involved with the Muppets. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:36, March 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ha, that could be good for the popularity of the Muppets. Balanced with their exposure via the Disney Channel kids, of course. —Scott ( talk ) 22:38, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

My Name
My name is Edward. But I use the nickname "Rankin". --Rankin ( talk ) 20:47, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

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


 * Hi Alex. I'm not worried about it at the moment. I'll take a look again if/when he comes back. Thanks! —Scott ( talk ) 15:19, February 24, 2010 (UTC)


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

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)

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)

 * 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)

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)

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)

Fuzzyface
Hi Scott: A careful reading of the edits I made would have shown that I didn't remove any info, just rearranged it so that the article flowed better, both chronologically and stylistically. In addition, I specifically mentioned Gleep (= new information), which the previous (and now current) version of the article does not. I'm sorry that you didn't take the time to read my edits more carefully before reverting them.— Tom ( talk ) 19:13, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry you're hurt about the reversion. Sometimes it happens on a project with lots of folks working together. Look again at the changes and you'll see some significant information missing. Please be more careful in the future. —Scott ( talk ) 22:34, December 31, 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, I'll try to be more careful, but upon looking at the differences again between my edits and the earlier version, the only tangible bit of info missing is the specific mention of "What Kind of Fool Am I," which I found redundant because the article also had a prior general mention of The Ed Sullivan Show. I can certainly modify my general statement with a "including "What kind of fool am I," though I don't really see the point because the article links to the show page.


 * Here is a list of stuff I cut that I considered devoid of meaning:
 * "somewhat"
 * "slightly"
 * "a bit"
 * "unofficial new persona designation"
 * "albeit models of evolution of the character" (would make some sense if it linked to an article called "evolution of the character", but otherwise wordy and a redundant point, since the whole article is about how the character changed.)


 * I also removed "gruffer," but I can certainly put that back in, if it's a sticking point. I'm gonna revert to my version and try to change it so you like it better. Please note, however, that whatever I come up with will have fewer words than the current version; for example, I've learned from mentors whose opinions I hold in high esteem to avoid adverbs and adverb phrases unless they add specific meaning to a sentence. All the examples I cited above do not, in my opinion.— Tom ( talk ) 23:51, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Updated I-beam
Hey, thanks for updating the screenshot of the infamous "I-beam" film from 1978, replacing MuppetVJ's grainy old copy with a high-quality DVD screencap. It looks MUCH better that way.

Speaking of which, did you see this video I made?

Muppet article
Hi Scott: I posed a question on Danny's talk page that might interest you. Also, the reference you removed was to an interview in which Henson admits to having started the marionettes and puppets myth, so if you don't want the reference there, then a logical place for it would be on a page titled "Muppet," which just happens to be the subject of my question to Danny (and you.) Thanks.— Tom ( talk ) 20:05, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Quality?
I noticed something odd on China, when I go through the history previews/comparisons for the article, the quality award shows up at the top, but when I view the article itself the icon is not there. Wiki problem, my computer, coding error? -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 20:59, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Huh, that's strange. I can't reproduce it with IE, Opera or Firefox. I'll look around a bit more and see if I can break it. —Scott ( talk ) 21:19, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * I figured it out, sort of. It's definitely an IE-only issue (I've had the same trouble, and I compared with Mozilla). The problem has something to do with the Wikipedia template, but only seems to have cropped up recently. Every quality article using Template:Wikipedia has that issue (China, Albert Einstein, etc.) but it only cropped up recently, likely due to some Wikia change. It happens if the template is right on top of the quality one (or even spaced). Move it so there's some other text in between, however, and it's fine. I fixed President of the United States but the others are still affected, so you can point them out to the appropriate tech person. Superman is unaffected, oddly, I'm guessing because it also uses Template:Wikia and somehow having three stacked together counteracts it (and likewise Mystery Science Theater 3000 has both templates but also has them above a list of links, then the quality tag). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:21, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Whoops!
Did I do something wrong when I made the page for the Gonzo and Rizzo's Incredible Discoveries page? I saw you fixed it so it redirects to the John Goodman episode, and wondered if I did something wrong in the first place to make the edit necessary. Let me know so I can fix it if need be.

Formatting
I have a question for your wisdom. On Hee Haw, I tried to do a double column of the acts that have appeared on the show, which worked fine. Then I thought I would add another picture, but it pushed the colums down lower. I've had this happen before, but just took the picture off (or rearranged stuff) to make it work, but I'm wondering if there is a way to make the columns of names smaller so that they will co-exist with the picture without a big fat white space gap. I left the page alone for now in case you can't figure out what I mean. -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 17:57, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Sex and Violence postcard
Hi Scott. So, you don't think we need to source the info about the postcard being sent to press and friends, etc.? The postcard only has a picture and words, no background. That came from Muppet Central.— Tom ( talk ) 21:43, December 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, I don't own this postcard, and I've never seen it except on Muppet Central. Furthermore, the text in the image is illegible; I quoted what was written on Muppet Central. If any of this turns out to be wrong, don't you think there should be a record of where it came from? For all we know, it could be a hoax. :)— Tom ( talk ) 23:18, December 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry Tom, I was out of town. You're right, there's good information that comes not just from the card, so we should source it. —Scott ( talk ) 02:14, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

 * As a long term project, do you think you could write out what number your Sony Wonder CD's are, and whether they have big songbooks or little CD booklets? I have 2 numbers for every Sony CD, and I'm trying to figure out whether they were sold in 2 different sizes (each having a different number) simultaneously because of different kinds of store racks, or if they were sold in one size, and then reissued later in another size, with a different number.  The ones I have seem to have been sold with the big songbooks in the beginning, and then later ones just have CD booklets, but I can't figure out why they have 2 numbers, too.  I know that Songs From the Street has 2 numbers because it was also sold in a square box, in addition to the rectangular box.  If you need me to explain in more detail, feel free to e-mail me.

Gallery Row
Hi! It's great that you've been expanding the gallery widths, but is it okay to keep some of them at default, or at least until they're filled with no placemarks? Both of the Sesame/Muppeteer in other roles pages have "Image Not Availables" which look pretty terrible when blown up like that (plus making it a longer scroll to digest the info on all of frank Oz's acting roles at once, say). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:12, December 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * I was just thinking that. What do you think about putting the pictureless entries in a bulleted list as we've/you've done on Muppeteers in Non-Henson Acting Roles? (The worst offender there is Fran Brill) —Scott ( talk ) 19:15, December 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's probably the best compromise (and really the formatting is inconsistent there anyway). I still kind of preferred seeing all of Frank Oz's roles on the screen at once, though. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:21, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Charlie McCarthy reference
Here is the message I left on Andrew's talk page about putting the reference back in: Hi Andrew: I'm putting the citation back because when I did it originally, I was following Danny's lead for the Spike Jones page. Also, the reference appears in the text and in the figure caption; this is by design, in case more references to McCarthy are found and added. Many images have no captions, let alone citations, and discerning their origin often requires a careful reading of the article.— Tom ( talk ) 19:37, November 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, we don't need it. —Scott ( talk ) 20:19, November 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Andrew, for your message on my talk page, although my name is Tom, not Tim. If you remove the referencing in longer pages like Star Trek, then you just obscure the origin of the information and images. Also, if an image has a citation that matches the citation in the text, then readers can easily match the two. Otherwise, additional a priori knowledge is required, or else a careful reading of the text. I know we're not Wikipedia; I had hoped we were better. :) I would prefer a reference tag that has a link to the Book Collections subsection of the "The Muppets (comic strip)" page, because at least that could be referenced in image captions as well. If what you're saying is that I don't need to repeat the "Gilchrist, Brad..." bit, then I can accept that, but I'd prefer the citations have reference tags and show up in the "Sources" section, especially for longer articles. Would this be an appropriate compromise?— Tom ( talk ) 20:50, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Star Trek Edits
Hi Scott: Why didn't you like my changing the "References" heading to "References to Star Trek in Muppet and Sesame Street Media" and similar change to "Muppet Mentions"? In many pages, the "References" heading precedes a list of bibliographic references (i.e. sources cited), so I thought the use of "References" was ambiguous on the Star Trek page. Perhaps we can find a compromise that eliminates ambiguity but is less wordy than my edit.— Tom ( talk ) 16:18, November 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Tom. We have hundreds of examples on the wiki where we title those sections "Mentions" and "References". They might not be the most descriptive, but given their contents, I think it's pretty clear what they are. —Scott ( talk ) 16:19, November 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Scott: Of course, I defer to your judgement, but I would leave you with the following question: Just because someone started a trend of using undescriptive headings, must we forever slavishly follow this example? Of course, routing out all the bad writing on the Wiki would be a momentous task, so I try to clean up writing as I come across it. With many editors, the quality of the writing is bound to vary.— Tom ( talk ) 16:31, November 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree it may not be the best practice, but it's become the unwritten manual of style. Changing it to be consistent would be an investment of time I think most folks would rather spend on something else. You're welcome to post about it on Current Events if you'd like to discuss it with the community further. —Scott ( talk ) 16:45, November 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * For the record, here (a standard established in discussions long ago, though I can't find the link right now), "References" should always be used for something spoofed or referenced by the Muppets (and thus placed in the appropriate subcat of Category:References), and "Sources" for citations. Any cases where the former is used for the latter are mistakes, usually based on Wikipedia habit, and should be corrected (the vast majority use "Sources," and "Muppet Mentions" is a standard we established in keeping with the category of the same name). We established it a long time ago, and it makes for simpler and convenient headings and standard organization, though as Scott said, feel free to bring it up on current events (as you can tell there, we often revisit issues or reconsider old standards, but it takes community consensus when it's a major change, not because someone started "a trend" but based on previously agreed upon practice). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:07, November 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Andrew. I think that without carefully looking at the list, in the Star Trek page, for example, the heading "References" does not immediately make clear if we're talking about references in Star Trek Media to Muppets or vice versa. Same goes for "Muppet Mentions." After looking at the list for a little, we can discern that the latter refers to mentions of Muppets in Star Trek media, not the other way around. I would agree with leaving the bibliography labeled as "Sources," but I think that the References and Muppet Mentions headings could be clearer. For consistency, changing the category of the same name to "Mentions of Muppets in other media" would be a simple matter. I understand that from your message that the practice to which I object is not a "trend" as I first suggested, but I will bring it up on current events, because I believe that clarity is important, especially as the Wiki becomes increasingly cited as an definitive source of information.— Tom ( talk ) 16:05, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

I guess they changed the software again and that doesn't work now. I'll go ahead and restore it. —Scott ( talk ) 16:04, October 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * I thought it was odd too. I actually thought the whole page got deleted.  lol.  -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 16:29, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

The Telly Monster
Wow. We've finally got a picture of him, and he's now officially replaced the original Snuffy as the scariest Muppet Sesame Street's ever made. No wonder they kept him under wraps for so long! -- MuppetDude 13:21, October 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * I know, he's freakishly scary! —Scott ( talk ) 16:02, October 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I can understand the spiral eyes, but the antennae?!


 * I am so glad this book is out. I bet there's a ton of great stuff in it for the wiki. -- MuppetDude 16:11, October 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, check out his extension cord. He's literally "wired!" XD -- Jon 16:14, October 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * I dunno. I still think Snuffy's scarier. I actually kinda like this Telly. --Justin 18:09, October 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * I gotta get the new book! This image has finally showed us something we've been wanting to know for a LONG time! Jesse ( talk ) 21:17, October 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Like the rest of you, that almost scared the crap out of me when I first saw it. It definitely beats the original Snuffy on Episode 0276! I wonder if the video player site will show a clip from his television-obsessed debut. I'd definitely like to see that too. I wonder how Bob Payne voiced him?Jonnytbird4789 20:50, October 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * By the way -- if any of you still haven't gotten this book yet -- you must. I'm looking specifically at you, young Tony Whitaker. It is just exactly what we've wanted, a huge exciting book full of tons of facts and pictures and fun tidbits. Plus it mentions the wiki in four different places. It's perfect. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:26, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Image Issues
Hey, when you get a chance, take a look at File talk:Groverbuffy.jpg. I know we've had this or similar issues before, more than once, but I don't know where Wikia is at on it and can't remember what their report was the last time, which was awhile back: if it's a bug that can be cured or just something that happens from time to time after downtime or something. <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:22, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * I've been waiting until that showed up again to report it. Let's not fix it if it shows up again, so I have something to report to tech. —Scott ( talk ) 18:38, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * I screengrabbed it. If you want, I can try unfixing it! Just reverted, and whatever it is seems to be gone, though. I'll leave it for you next time, but I saw you were on and hadn't responded to the question and I know we don't like to leave broken images around too long. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:50, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Frackles: name vs. phrase
Hi Scott. I noticed you undid my edit of the Frackles page in which I switched the word phrase to name. Technically, a phrase must contain more that one word, so it is not correct in this context. If you're irked by the appearance of the word "name" twice in the sentence, then we could always use a synonym, like appellation or moniker.— Tom ( talk ) 17:09, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey Tom, I was trying to restore the anchored links on the page and it looks like I rolled back a little too far. Feel free to make the appropriate change. —Scott ( talk ) 17:12, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Done.— Tom ( talk ) 17:15, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!
Scott -- Thanks for the tip on leaving a signature. I find the Muppet Wiki constantly astonishing in the depth and breadth of its Muppet lore, and I definitely need to bone up on how best to properly contribute. I've got a couple of odd pieces of merchandise I want to write up, for one thing. Thanks also for your input on the Flapshoe/Oz ID "controversy". I think it's unquestionably him -- in the "dads" shot, you can even see the impression on the bridge of his nose where his glasses were before he removed them for the shot! But I agree with Andrew that it needs proper documentation, if a general consensus can't be reached.

Okay, here goes: Galenfott 17:08, October 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * Scott -- Thanks for continuing the Flapsole/Oz fight! I don't think Danny's going to budge, but I'm convinced the truth will eventually win out. One thought though: In the B&W image you posted, how would you feel about mirror-flipping back the right-hand image of Oz and replacing the jpeg? To my mind, it confuses one of the more irrefutable points of ID, the freckle/blemish on his left cheek. Galenfott 03:36, October 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * It's okay; I conceded. :) It's all good. Thanks for taking part in our usual protracted discussion process. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:53, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Sneegle Transcripts / Early Henson promo film (?)
Hi Scott,

As you've probably just seen, I've added the specific tape at the Museum of Television and Radio where the Sneegle PSA's can be viewed. The title of the tape is The First Part of this Film is Silent"/"The Second Part is with Sound on Film, which looks to be something of a demo reel by the Muppets from the 1960's. The silent part (in color) introduces each Muppet to date, Kermit, Yorick, Sam, Moldy Hay, etc., while the second part shows short segments (color/BW) of what the Muppets had been doing, some familiar (from Sam & Friends) and unfamiliar (said Sneegle PSAs).

While this seems to be a demo reel the Henson people must have been pitching, do you think this is something that Karen Falk of Henson Legacy would be able to answer about in more detail? Does this promo seem familiar to you? --Dave Splurge 20:56, October 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Dave, sorry I'm just seeing this now. This doesn't sound familiar to me. If there's information missing from the tape description at Paley, I might be able to get some answers if I know what you're looking for. —Scott ( talk ) 17:18, October 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Scott. As it happens, this one has no written description. This is one of those tapes that the MT&R categorized as in the "Archives" when no description is given, but people can view it anyway. I've already seen it, and taken notes on the content. Perhaps I could write up a sandbox page describing this reel based on what I saw, but can only make educated guesses on what it was for. I can verify that the odd title in the catalog, "The Muppets: The First Part is Silent; The Second Part is With Sound on Film", is accurate, as the film has that title written on a blackboard (probably Henson's handwriting) as Yorick is chewing on a piece of chalk. I just wish I could say what the intention of the reel was, to make for a useful page.
 * It's well worth a view next time you're in NYC, and may be the only way thusfar to actually see the Sneegle PSAs in action. My transcripts don't do it justice. :) -- Dave Splurge 04:37, October 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * A sandbox page would be great. The more information we have to go on, the better. —Scott ( talk ) 04:41, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

 * There's actually two better direct references, which I'll get to when I can revisit the clips (which I have nearby but not at hand immediately). Fozzie gives a shout-out to them in The Muppets Go Hollywood!

The Kermit pillow on FlashForward is so great! That's the new Disney Store design, too -- that pillow isn't even out yet!

Upcoming
I tried to add the Upcoming template to the Community Corner on My Home, but it's too wide. I can think of a few ways to fix that, but none of them are ideal. Do you have any thoughts? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 14:42, September 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Not without changing the output on the front page. I don't think we need that in MyHome anyway. That's a reader thing rather than a contributor thing. —Scott ( talk ) 16:36, September 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * I know, but I like having it, cause I don't really look at the main page, and if I don't see that, then I miss stuff. Maybe I'll try creating a second, thinner template that mirrors the real one. It'll mean that I have to update the second one when the first one is updated -- not ideal but possible. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:59, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Link box
Hey, just a heads-up -- I tweaked MediaWiki:Monaco.css slightly. You moved the New page & Add image row down 8px, and I noticed that at 8 pixels it cut the bottom off the pencil and picture frame. The pencil looked kinda weird with no point on it... I played around with different numbers, and found that 6px is the most we can go without cutting off the pencil. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:35, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, it looks weird having two links for the same thing in one spot. But then it looks weird to separate Upload and MultiUpload. Do folks prefer it that way? —Scott ( talk ) 14:21, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I think the Add image with the picture is probably better... It stands out more, and it balances the New page link. I'd rather take Upload image out of the toolbox. Then it would just say Multiple upload in the toolbox, which is fine. We could also take the Help link out of the toolbox, b/c those pages are crap. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 14:25, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I did, and it's very cool! Do we have different MW pages for the front page and rest of site now? I'm still seeing the standard random link on the front page. —Scott ( talk ) 14:34, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Not as far as I know... I see random character on the front page. Maybe it's cached for you? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 14:59, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Border Color Change
How did you alter the original wiki border colors from blue to green? I just created a new wikia page and want to change the border colors. Please respond.

Hi Mark! Which wiki are you working on? I can show you how to edit the pages you're looking for. —Scott (talk) 03:45, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

My wiki is Ruby Gloom Archives. I need to know exactly how to provide the monaco with different colors besides blue. I was hoping to use the colors black, white, gray, and red. -Mark 10:47, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Now that I altered the monaco colors, I need to know how to reverse the white sheet with summaries of black words. To black sheet with white printed words. Just to make my Ruby Gloom Archives dark.

Postcards
Hey Scott -- thanks for deleting Postcards Version 2. (And so quickly, too!) I used to think formatting them that way was a great idea, and you guys didn't.  I came around to your side. :) However there was a lot of information that was only on that version of the page, and as you can probably see, I just transferred it all to the real page, Postcards from Traveling Matt.  I also added the postcards that are on the YouTube channel.  Anyway, thanks. --GrantHarding 15:30, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem! I just left a message on the talk page, too. —Scott ( talk ) 15:31, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Scott!
Would you mind giving your thoughts on Sesame Streem over on Current Events, so I can understand what you're looking for? Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:20, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not looking for anything. —Scott ( talk ) 03:30, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, Danny, Jay, Wendy and I were discussing how to handle a fansite that features Muppet music, and Danny said to make the pages so that, "Each Sesame album page has a See also link to the Muppet Wiki page about Sesame Streem. Then you can go from that wiki page through an external link to the Sesame Streem site, which has great navigation that can help people find what they're looking for." So I was doing that, and then I saw you removing them.  That's why I asked if you wanted to talk about it on Current Events. -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:38, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

SEO
I saw you mention something called an "SEO" at Talk:Count von Count. What's an SEO? --Minor muppetz 03:07, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Not authorized
Hey Scott. When you mean that the Sesame Street Count It Higher VCD is not authorized, would that mean that the vcd would be considered "illegal" to post on this site? I'm just wondering, because if so, I could try somehow emailing the website whom produces those VCDs. Wattamack4 18:56, 16 July 2009 (UTC)Alex


 * Hi Alex, check out my 2nd comment in that discussion. They're VCDs that are produced without the permission of Sesame Workshop. We don't cover bootlegged items on the wiki. —Scott ( talk ) 19:06, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, I get it now. Should the image be deleted then? Wattamack4 19:13, 16 July 2009 (UTC)Alex


 * Also, I think I now know why there were songs directly, and even stated they from it on realplay, uploaded from the Count It Higher vhs. Since the site I was referring to, Skreemr, is a music-uploading site, I think a registered user may have had a cassette tape of the Count It Higher vhs, and uploaded the mp3s of the songs onto the site, although I'm not sure if Count It Higher ever had a cassette tape, since I never even knew about the vhs, until about summer of 06.

Untitled Biography
Hey babe -- It strikes me that Untitled Jim Henson Biography (Powers, Ron) is a weird title for us now; it's not disambiguated from anything in particular. How would you feel if it moved to "Untitled Jim Henson biography"? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I started the page as Untitled Jim Henson Biography (Ron Powers) because I liked having his name in there for Google. I moved it for reasons I can't remember, but what do you think about moving it back? —Scott ( talk ) 00:32, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I dunno, it sounds weird to me. "Ron Powers" is at the top of the article, and there can't be a lot of other information on the web about it. I don't think we're necessarily competing with anyone for that search term. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:27, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Untitled Jim Henson Biography works. What should we call it if we find another Untitled Jim Henson Biography? —Scott ( talk ) 01:29, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, obviously at that point we can add the disambig again. Now, if it turns out that another guy named Ron Powers writes an untitled Jim Henson biography... then we're screwed. We might have to go to middle names. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:45, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Hey, Scott! I wasn't sure which page to answer, but I think the 2 Wet Paint songs that were performed by David is simply a case of 2 slightly different versions of the same song, kind of like the way that Sing, Green, and People in Your Neighborhood have been performed with different lyrics over the years. -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:40, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Resource for research
Hey Scott, I stumbled on this book today online and wondered if any of us had used it for research on the wiki yet. Wild Things: Children's Culture and Ecocritism It has a detail of all the Henson's company's Environmental projects, including unproduced storyboards for the National Park Service, An American Portrait with Jim and Kermit honoring Roger Tory Peterson on CBS, a rain forest PSA that aired at a Greatful Dead concert (with Kermit and Animal). I'm basically putting this on your page as a reference point as well, if we are unware of this book. -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 18:22, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Ha, thanks :) I found that on Google Books some months ago, but I don't think I'd noticed the storyboards or An American Portrait. There were a few pages missing from the Jim Henson coverage, so I mant to pick up the book myself, but never got around to it. —Scott ( talk ) 19:00, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Bloopers
Hey, Scott! Thanks for making Muppet Bloopers. I'm intrigued by the clip on the ATV special where Kermit's in the 1st season logo, and mentions "The Best of the Muppets". It doesn't look like it was something that was redubbed. Was that something that wasn't broadcast in the US? -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * All I know is what's in the clip. I wish I knew more! —Scott ( talk ) 04:33, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Kermit introducing "The Best of The Muppets" was for real. All I know it's an one special from 1977.

Hey, Scott!
How do you create a category? Paul had created a category for Sesamstraat Exhibits, but he misspelled it. I fixed it, but it's still showing up red. Do you know how to fix that? Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:22, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I took care of those pages -- we just have one Exhibits category right now, so we might as well just leave everything there.


 * But I saw the mistake that you were making, Ken... when you use the new category buttons to add a category, you don't have to write Category:Sesamstraat Exhibits. You can just write Sesamstraat Exhibits, and it'll fill in the Category: part for you.


 * When you're creating a new category, you then need to click on the red link and write a little text on the category page, then click save. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:31, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I don't think I've ever actually created brand new categories before.  I had just added an "h" to what Paul already had, so I was confused why it wasn't showing up. -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Hey, that's cool, it's just like the other Kermit private eye images used elsewhere. Thanks for posting it! —Scott ( talk ) 14:16, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Muppet Babies Episodes
Did the Jim Henson Company send you the Muppet Babies episode list you posted at Category talk: Muppet Babies Episodes? Also, mit appears to be incomplete. Did you forget to post the whole list, or was that all you had? --Minor muppetz 02:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The list is from the Henson archives, and you should be able to see the whole list if you scroll down. —Scott ( talk ) 02:01, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Edit Conflict
Sorry, that was weird. When I opened the page to reply, only Nick's query was there, and I didn't get any "Edit Conflict" warning. Odd (even moreso given the time stamps, unless those are off again). Looks like it was probably just a fluke, though. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:40, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem, that was weird. Probably database issues again. —Scott ( talk ) 16:45, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Minor Muppet Interviews
Hey Scott, would we have any use sticking this anywhere on the wiki? Kermit on Broadway.com Interview. -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 16:49, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure, that would be great to have linked from I Believe. —Scott ( talk ) 16:57, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Done and Done! :) -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 17:50, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Should Miss Piggy's Dressing Room be deleted?
Hi, Scott. The article pointed out in the header above is very short, and the content includes only one sentence that describes the number of appearances it had on The Muppet Show. I'm not sure if the article lacks enough significance, but should it be deleted? Why not check it out and tell me your response. Thanks! Matt H. ( talk ) 21:41, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello, Scott. I did not yet receive feedback from you on the article in the header. Did you examine that article and forget to leave a reply here? If you would please do, it would be much appreciated from me. Thanks! Matt H.  ( talk ) 19:58, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it will be left. It's not much different from many of the articles in that category.  -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 18:19, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

email
Did you receive my email? Just making sure they arent going to your junk folder! Warrick 21:40, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Just checked -- it's there! I'll get back to you soon :) —Scott ( talk ) 21:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Cheers i I'll look forward to it! Warrick 22:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Sinister Sources
Hi, Scott! I'm cleaning up some of the citations needed (taking out stuff which has been unsourced for years, or just removing tags for issues resolved on the accompanying talk page or added by an insider and so on). Anyway, we talked about the working title for The Great Santa Claus Switch back in 2007. I assume you probably haven't had time to check your sources? In which case, I'd like to go ahead and just park it on the talk page until you can get to it, or should I add a stump tag? Any clue at all as to what your source was (if not specifics)? Also, there's Pests, which I assume came from one of the MuppetZines or other sources you had for the unfinished projects, but Danny added a cite tag to it last August. That one seems like, in *theory*, it could be easier to pin down. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:56, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, let's go ahead and take the Sinister thing off the article. As for Pests, man I haven't a friggin clue. We can delete that page. —Scott ( talk ) 22:10, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the quick answer! With the reorganizations today, I realized I hadn't checked Citations Needed in ages, and a few were added without a summary in cases where they weren't needed, some are the kind of vague rumor statements we're now avoiding anyway, and so on. A few, like Hollywood Squares, will likely be more long-term, but they seem to have happened so there's a source out there, we just haven't found it yet, and the tags are a useful reminder (especially since it's almost entirely sourced now, with those exceptions). Hooray for us! -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Danny recently sent me a bunch of Appearances tapes to digitize for YouTube. I've been meaning to go through them to see if the Hollywood Squares stuff is there as I know that cite tag has been there for a little while now. —Scott ( talk ) 22:24, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Kissing Bill O'Reilly
Why the hell did I post a picture of Smile for Elmo on the Kissing Bill O'Reilly page? Bizarre. I must have been drunk or something. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * You must have just kissed Bill O'Reilly. —Scott ( talk ) 14:14, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

that photo
Sorry it took so long... Sex and Violence era workshop Warrick 23:30, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow, what a great picture -- thanks for posting it! —Scott ( talk ) 02:09, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Big Jeffy
Hey, Scott! I just now noticed you'd redirected that article to Little Jerry and the Monotones as well (something not brought up on the talk page). As a result, some actual information was lost, since he appeared solo or as part of Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats and basically was a character in his own right (with some appearances not noted here yet simply because we have no eka or confirmation, like a street appearance as a rival to Little Chrissy). It wasn't the longest page, but I'd like to undo the merge and just take out Wattamack4's note about fill-ins. How's that? -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:43, 13 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, sure. Sorry about that! To be honest, I didn't look at it as closely as Rockin Richard and Little Chrissy and assumed it was all apocryphal. If Big Jeffy is provably consistent, then yeah let's bring him back. —Scott ( talk ) 12:24, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk pages
Hi, Scott! I know you're inordinately busy these days, but when you get a chance, your input on Talk:X-Play would be appreciated (and wouldn't hurt on Category talk:Muppet Show Characters, though there's a tone to wade through and it's become pretty convoluted, one of those where nearly every user has a different interpretation of what belongs in the category, or now mainly the new Category:The Muppets Characters). Also, Talk:The Muppets Studio (if you do have any insider contacts, Brad wants to know if they control Bear too). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:05, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the update :) There's a lot of stuff I need to pay attention to, I just haven't had the time or energy to dig in. I'll let you know if I find anything about Bear. —Scott ( talk ) 16:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Sesame Street Puppets
Hey sorry to step in after seeing your comment on Minor muppetz, but I check Rock & Roll credits and they have the title, "Sesame Street Puppet Characters." I also check credits for Sesame Songs Home Video and it has the same credits at the end. Interesting fact about the facts from your What is a Muppet?. - Steven 05:34, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, thanks for that! I'll look at my DVDs to get screenshots. —Scott ( talk ) 15:06, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Steppin' Out Bunsen & Beaker
Hey, I can add better pictures shortly. I found this page so that I could send a link to a friend. Then I noticed the discrepencies. I took the pictures using my Camera Phone to back up my edit. I will upload better pictures taken on a nicer Digital Camera shortly. Thanks for the shout! --GeekBrat 23:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello !
Hi, Scarcroe ! I've added the "Muppet Monsters" Category on several pages dedicated to some weird Muppet Characters : Shakey Sanchez, Screaming Thing, Chopped Liver, Silver Beak, Vile Bunch Drummer and Vile Bunch Guitarist. If you think it's not relevant, please don't hesitate to remove it. Thank you. :-) Bat-Power 21:26, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Link clean up
Hey Scott, how ya doin? I want you to know that you and the other admins won't have to keep following me around anymore cause I'm no not gonna go overboard with changing the redirects anymore. Danny blocked me for all of yesterday for said reason. Just wanted to make sure that you knew about this. -- <font color="Green">T.J. (<font color="Green" size="1">talk ) 16:15, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Main page
Hey, babe -- I like the change on the main page! The stuff at the bottom looks good. I'm wondering if we could move the link to Muppet Wiki (website) down there too, as an "About Muppet Wiki" link? The position and boldness of the link has some effect, so having a link that says "Muppet Wiki" on it going to a non-important page is kind of eh.

We've totally optimized the top of the page now, which is awesome -- all the big links at the top are for the portals, Henson, Muppet Show and Sesame Street -- so I thought it would be cool to take the MW (website) link out of that space, and now you've made a nice space for it at the bottom. It's not at all a big deal -- just my usual SEOCD -- but it's a possibility. What do you think? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:14, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Up and Away
Hey, Disney finally released the full Up presskit with credits. I'll see if I can add stuff to the Pixar Wiki tomorrow or Thursday, but the special thanks section, identifying inspirations, lists Mike Oznowicz, Frank's dad! Hopefully the eventual DVD commentary may explain a little more about that, probably tied in with his work at California's Fairyland; others listed are legendary Disney storyman Joe Grant and Alice Davis (wife of Marc Davis). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:14, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Yay, that's awesome! We'll be spotlighting Pixar Wiki this week, so I hope we get a lot of new people to join. By the way, I've been meaning to pass this link along to you at behindthevoiceactors.com. You might know of it already, but it's a pretty cool collection of comparisons of voice actors doing the same character. —Scott ( talk ) 02:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Banning and blocking
Hey Scott, not trying to get on your nerves here, but what's the difference between banning a user and blocking a user? -- <font color="Green">T.J. (<font color="Green" size="1">talk ) 18:29, May 25 2009 (UTC)


 * We don't use the term banned, but when a user doesn't follow the rules after they've been communicated to them, we block their username and IP from editing the wiki. —Scott ( talk ) 18:36, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh. The only reason I asked is cause I help edit the High School Musical Wiki and they have a category of banned users. Speaking of which, I'm sorry again for not following the rules before. -- <font color="Green">T.J. (<font color="Green" size="1">talk ) 18:38, May 25 2009 (UTC)


 * You'd have to ask them what the conditions of that status is on their wiki, but I suspect it's either for those who have been blocked from editing, or individuals who have been banned from ever editing under any conditions. We don't get that detailed about it here. We just block if it's necessary.
 * As for you not following rules before, don't worry about it. You came back and haven't ignored anyone, proving that you're willing to be a productive member of the community. —Scott ( talk ) 18:42, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks Scott but I couldn't have been such a fast learner without the help of you, Danny, Nate, Andrew and everybody else. -- <font color="Green">T.J. (<font color="Green" size="1">talk )

Discography picture
Hi, Scott! I just wanted to let you know that I finally got around to writing an essay for the Muppet Discography. Danny put a placeholder picture at the top for now, but whenever you get time, could you maybe come up with a picture like the one you did for Sesame Street? I know you're busy, so no hurry; I just wanted to let you know about it. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 06:13, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'll see what I can do. —Scott ( talk ) 18:37, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Links
Hey babe -- Still obsessing over Google stuff, as you can see on Current events. I started a discussion about linking dates -- sorry for the extreme tl;dr risk, but I hope you get a chance to read it.

Also -- I just realized that Template:Sketches adds 55 links to the bottom of our Sesame sketch pages, and Template:Muppetsketches adds 19 links to the TMS sketch pages. We put those in so that there would be a buffer when people follow links to the sketches at the bottom of the tables. We've got footer ads now, so logged-out readers are seeing a buffer at the bottom of the pages anyway... What do you think about either replacing those templates with something less link-heavy, or just taking them out and letting the footer ads be the buffer? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:11, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think the sketches are going to make much of a difference. There are 435 links on Super Grover. If we take the sketches link out, that leaves 366. We're never going to get that near 100 links. All of those pages are similarly long. Ernie and Bert Sketches: Apartment has 574, The Letter of the Day has 356 and Sesame Street News Flash has 443. We already win at all those pages, and taking the Sketches template out will just remove the handy navigational tool. —Scott ( talk ) 17:45, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

please? rc is a mess now :) -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:10, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm all done. —Scott ( talk ) 22:10, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Dates
Hey Scott! I guess I'm a little fuzzy on when to link dates anymore on the wiki, since I was away when the trend changed. I'm guessing now that we use a date only when it is in direct connection to an appearance date or birthdate of a key Muppet individual? -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 16:02, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * We link dates when its relevant to the Muppets connection to the article's subject. The discussion is linked from our policy page for examples. —Scott ( talk ) 16:08, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks Scott! -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 16:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Ubiquitous Wiki
Hey! This is kind of neat. I was clicking around IMDb, checked to see if Emilio Delgado had done any off-street stuff lately, and saw this. It's taken from this (no alteration even), which in turn is from an online video screengrab, but still, it's nifty when Muppet Wiki is used by Sesame people as a resource for their outside promotional/resume stuff. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Neat! I was thinking of starting a page somewhere that lists all the places where our stuff has been borrowed. Text is probably fairly common, but it always makes me smile when I see one of our images used elsewhere. It might be somewhat self-aggrandizing, but I have one listed on my user page right now. And then of course there's Disney's use of our logo on their website. And I strongly suspect The Colbert Report used our images for Roosevelt Franklin and Guy Smiley. —Scott ( talk ) 18:54, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I like that this makes us happy instead of angry. We're the friendliest wiki community ever. :) -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:06, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll second that. :) -- <font color="Green">T.J. (<font color="Green" size="1">talk ) 19:08, May 7 2009 (UTC)


 * It's not self-aggrandizing Scott, I got the thrill of a lifetime when I stumbled across an online ad for Sesame Street Live, and they were using my scan of the first Souvenir Program as the main advertisement picture. I did a comparision of the creases in the program, and it was indeed my scan.  It just tickled me green! -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 21:57, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I just wanted to mention that I've seen our album cover scans turn up on everything from eBay auctions to YouTube videos. We're famous! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Me neither! David Swain just sent them to me. He happened upon the book in a novelty store. —Scott ( talk ) 04:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Jack-in-the-Box
While not technically a Jack-in-the-box, I'm wondering if we shouldn't link to these on that page. It's what I think of every time I see the name on the wiki, and there is no good way to search for it thanks to all the short words, if you don't happen to know the name of the figure set. Or is that too far into left field? -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:53, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, that's a good idea! Someone might remeber the Jack in the Box restauarnt toys and not know to look for them there. Good idea! —Scott ( talk ) 03:56, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

The Hoobs Episodes
Hey Scott would you mind If I started The Hoobs episodes page as its one of the only TV series not having an episodes page, I will tag each episode and begin working on each one. -- Natonstan 19:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually It would be a better idea to just build up the episode guides to match the rest of the shows? I'm gonna try and get it going anyways. -- Natonstan

Nick Kodiak
Yes sorry I just started the page and had to do something, I plan to add to the page now. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- user:Natonstan 11:13, April 30, 2009


 * Ooh thanks for the tip, I've only worked on small wiki's before but after rediscovering Jim Henson I decided to help out here a bit, I'm still kinda new, so thanks for the help.

Natonstan 15:20, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Christmas Decorations
Okay, I finished up on Christmas Decorations, putting everything into its proper home again. I saw that you set up Christmas Merchandise as a separate category... I don't think we need it. Christmas Decorations can go into the Christmas category, along with Christmas Albums, Christmas Books, etc., and it can also go in the Merchandise category. So I don't think we need Christmas Merchandise in the Merchandise category & so on. Does that make sense? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:18, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I thought I was helping. I should have waited til you were done. —Scott ( talk ) 22:19, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You're always helping! No problem. Also -- you saw that I'd turned the Cat select on for a minute... Kyle was looking into how to change the css, to move the button. He can't figure out where that control is. He's going to try again in a little while. If he can't figure it out, we'll ask Christian. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:21, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't know if you are taking requests, but is there any chance of you adding Muppet segments from Here Come the Puppets!, any of the 1980s Playhouse Video compilations (The Kermit and Piggy Story is, or has been, uploaded there already), or even the preview for those videos? --Minor muppetz 20:56, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Yo, Scott. I wanted to know how to leave membership from Wiki. Do you know how to quit the whole account? User:TenCents 19:49, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You can logout here and then just don't log in again. —Scott ( talk ) 00:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The only problem with that is whenever someone edits a page I editted, it gets sent to my email, and it's getting annoying. User:TenCents 12:26. 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Tables Question
Hey, Scott. Not sure if you'll be able to help on this, but I'm having some trouble with tables. I copied the code I used in Episode 101: Juliet Prowse to Sandbox:Episode 102, but the width of the second and third columns is different. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Any thoughts? -- <font color="Blue">Peter (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 15:43, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * How about now? —Scott ( talk ) 15:48, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Nope. On Episode 101: Juliet Prowse (and Episode 223: John Cleese, where I copied the code from originally), the second column is super narrow.  It's still much wider on  Sandbox:Episode 102. -- <font color="Blue">Peter  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 15:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * In that case, you just need more text to fill up the right-most cell. That will extend the table without having to use WIDTH, which also stretches the second column. —Scott ( talk ) 16:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh. Well, that was easy.  I was planning on adding more text to the rightmost column but had only put placeholders in for the moment.  Thanks!  -- <font color="Blue">Peter  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:10, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Embedding Disabled
Hey, Scott! Seems Sesame Workshop has embedding disabled on all their videos. Though clicking the video to open in another window allows it to be seen, it kind of defeats the uploading purpose. Just so you know. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Aw, damn. I didn't realize. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll go back and fix em after I add some new articles. —Scott ( talk ) 01:56, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Blanking pages
If you use an edit summary, it won't ping people who are watching for vandalism. It looks as though you are mass blanking pages which is causing a lot of noise. — Charitwo (talk) 02:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You silly vandal. <font color="Green">~Joey~  <font color="Green">^Talk^  02:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * It does look a lot like vandalism. The 888th Avatar  (Talk) 02:59, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * So I realize this is some sort of maintenance but I just got over a dozen emails saying you were "removing all content" from the pages I've contributed to. I see that the pages are still intact; just curious what this is all about.  Thanks! Codename7 03:17, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

User contribution templates
Hi! I'm learning a simpler way to add the "User contributions" link on a newcomer's userpage. Is it done with Template:Contribs, or do I just add USERNAME ? If it is, what do you input to display it the right way? Thanks, Matt H.  ( talk ) 23:40, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, Matt. Yes, will get you the User Contributions message. —Scott ( talk ) 23:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Comics
What ho! When you get a chance, take a look at Category talk:Comics, as far as how to label our pages. Several were recently renamed (in a uniform, singular "comic book" form) by Danny, but I'm personally not thrilled about moving again unless it's needed for accuracy purposes (which so far, seems to apply mainly to Farscape (comic book).) As is, there's a ton of double redirects (none of which I'm up to fixing at present, maybe this week) created by recent moves, so I'd just as soon not add to that if there's no compelling reason to. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 08:20, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * P. S. I know you don't like Amazon's video on demand thing since any downloads have to be watched on your PC (or other device) and burning to a separate disc is doable but can be iffy (though looking around, it seems much the same as with iTunes), but a couple months back, they re-added the future episode, which as a tantalizer, I'll tell you features a brief scene in which Mupppet dog Eliot impersonates Albert Einstein! No sign of the recycling episode alas (which I *know* would get you to use it), but I'm keeping an eye out for it. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 08:20, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Media You Don't Have
Hey.... I noticed on your userpage that you have a list of audio soundtracks that you don't have. In case you are interested, I have the cd set "Fraggle Rockin': A Collection". Let me know what you think. Feel free to send me a message.--- Znsnyder 14:40, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Theological Figures
Hiya -- I took the Great Popsicle off the Theological Figures page because (I think) that's supposed to be a list of Theological Figures who have appeared in Muppet/Henson productions. The Great Popsicle didn't appear in a production -- it's a character in a Daniel Pinkwater novel. So to me, that doesn't count... Not a big deal and I don't really care either way, but I wanted to explain where I was coming from. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:00, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

GUND
Hey Scott. Ive made a Gund page, but al the article connected to Gund are written like i do now. My page is writen like GUND. If I change the name into Gund I write over the catarogry: Gund page, because its redirected. Can you have a look at this? (Pino 21:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC))


 * Should work okay now. —Scott ( talk ) 21:40, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Ectually what I meant is every toypage that is made by Gund writes it like this Gund, But Because that word is redirecter to catagory gund you cant go with this to the company gund. If you go too Sesame Street bookmarks (Gund) You know what I mean. Is there a way to delete the redirection from Gund to category Gund. And We can rename GUND into Gund? (Pino 21:54, 10 February 2009 (UTC))


 * Thanks that did it.. Gund is working perfectly ;) (Pino 22:30, 11 February 2009 (UTC))

Duncan Kenworthy
Hi babe -- You added a trivia note to Duncan Kenworthy -- he performed Statler in The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson. Do you remember your source for that? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:52, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Got it. —Scott ( talk ) 19:22, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Random Wondering
Hey Scott. When you get a chance, can you answer or give your thoughts on my random question that's been itchin', a twitchin', a scritchin', a scratchin' me at Talk:Music Works Wonders. Just take your time and I just want to say hi to you and hope you are doing ok. — Steven ( talk ) 09:21, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'll try to remember to check my DVD when I get home later this week. —Scott ( talk ) 19:22, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Bear in the Big Blue House Edits
Hi there. I see that you made some edits to the Bear in the Big Blue House/Merchandise/Plush/Fisher Price page that I created. Unfortunately, in part because of my laptop crashing I didn't notice your edits as I continued to add more info and make more changes myself. I tried making sense of the history page but I'm new at this so I'm not sure if anything should be changed again (back to what you did). Please take a look at let me know if I'm doing anything wrong. I'm new here and was just using the Bear page to get some practice before I head into the other merchandise categories. Thanks! troy | codename7

Title cards
Hey, I have a random question -- something that I've been wondering about for a little while. I love that we have title cards for all of the shows and movies. On a lot of the captions, it says "Show name title card." -- which has always struck me as sort of self-explanatory.

I'm asking just to find out how strongly you feel about those captions. If you love them, then cool, they're fine. But if you don't really care, then my preference would be to take them out and just let the title card speak for itself. I'm not super bugged about it, though, so it depends on how you feel. What do you think? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:48, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, they're pretty redundant. It was one of the first things I ever did on the wiki. We don't need the captions. —Scott ( talk ) 21:00, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

The Muppet Experiment
Yay, I'm glad you have all those screenshots of the Muppet Experiment. I was just listening to a Disneyland fan podcast yesterday, and they were talking about how the game worked in the park, what the prizes were, etc. I'll get a little transcription going soon... Did you actually play it all the way to the end? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:57, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I played it all the way through. I took screenshots of the answers so we can document that, too. I don't know a thing about the Disneyland portion, so we still need some of that. —Scott ( talk ) 20:24, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, neat. Yeah, I'll get the DL stuff up. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:48, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

The Elusive Penguin
Hey, just so you know, I asked Caroll Spinney about the mysterious and obscure Shivers the Penguin at Barnes & Noble on Monday and added the info he gave to Shivers' page. I tried to use the same format I saw for similar reference citations, but you might want to check it to be sure. -- <font color="Blue">Ryan (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:11, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Young Girl Spearfishing
Scott, here's something with which you can (hopefully) assist me: I remember a certain film on "Sesame Street" in which a young girl in a neon-colored 1-piece bathing suit walks down the beach and gets in her small boat. She paddles out to sea, and then jumps in the ocean to go fishing with a spear. The film ends just as she's about to climb back into the boat.

Does this film have a name? In what "Sesame Street" episode did it first appear? Do you have any pictures from it, if not a copy on DVD? And what can you tell me about the girl herself?

Thanks, if you can help me!

Khaos, Junior 10:03, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

P.S. Remember that young blonde gymnast in the long-sleeved black leo, from several "Sesame Street" films in the 1970's? What was her name, and where can I buy a copy of those films on DVD? Please and thank you.


 * I'm sorry, but I don't know. —Scott ( talk ) 16:38, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey Scott, is there anything you can do so make it so I can edit as GrouchMan again since I've responded to all those comments on the GrouchMan talk page? If not no worries!! I can wait!! I apologize again for what happened!! & I apologize for not responding to those messages before!! I didn't know how to edit a talk page back then!! -- <font color="Green">T.J.
