Main Page

Was looking at our main page, compared to Redwall's...and you seem not to have some glaring white space where I do. Was wondering if you had any ideas. -- LordTBT ^Talk! 06:16, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

I see what you're saying...I've been wanting to do a main page overhaul, the two columns looks cleaner but I'm not sure the best way to do it...as in an ideal scenario I'd like to focus on the news aspect of the site without all of the content getting lost. -- LordTBT ^Talk! 06:51, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

One more for you list

I give you Raymond Burr for your GD list. -- Nate (talk) 00:28, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! I didn't know he was gay. Always learning something new on this wiki... -- Danny

Hi!

Wow, you're busy on books! I wanted to ask you what your reasoning was on combining the Sesame Street Start-to-Read Video tapes into one page. I know they're part of a series, but all the Random House stuff is part of different series, and I figured each video title would get its own page anyway. -- Ken (talk) 04:22, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a book day today. :) I put the Start-to-Read Video titles together because we had four pages that were essentially identical -- same text, with a cover pic and the three book titles. It's more interesting as a single page than as four separate pages, and you don't lose any information. It's the same thing that we've done with the Dinosaurs Videography and Bear in the Big Blue House Videography. -- Danny

Okay, thanks! I forgot that I still need to find the other 3 catalog numbers! -- Ken (talk) 04:54, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

thumbnails

Looks like thumbnails are still botched: A Birthday Surprise. Was that fix supposed to go live this past Wednesday, or this coming Wednesday? —Scott (talk) 00:16, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Those thumbnails look okay to me. I've been getting some slow image loads today, though... The image server must be backed up. If it gets worse, I'll ping the Ops folks. -- Danny

Here's a better look at what the wiki software is doing to compress the image. See also Go-Bots and David Petersen and the bottom-right-most image on Superman: Secret Origin. —Scott (talk) 00:27, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, you're right -- it's still going on. I'll have to find out about it on Monday. -- Danny

(talk) 00:29, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Just wanted to bring it up before I forgot. And I wasn't sure if the fix had rolled out yet. —Scott (talk) 00:35, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured it would've been by now. -- Danny

(talk) 00:36, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! And I love that we have covers for the StoryBook magic titles now. I had that Big Bird when I was a kid, so those are fond memories. —Scott (talk) 00:42, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Are Ernie and Bert gay?

Hi Danny: Thanks for tidying up my recent edits to this page. Unfortunately, in the process we lost the full reference to Kurt Andersen's book, so I put the reference back in.— Tom (talk) 19:16, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, good -- thank you! I was glad that you added real reference tags on that page, and I wanted to also make sure that people could just read down the page and see who said the quotes. I think it looks great now! -- Danny

Question

Looking at Tangeled Web Weaver's page, I noticed he mentioned a Wizard of Oz wiki. I went there, and it looks totally empty. Wouldn't Wikia have directed him to the Oz wiki that's already there? -- Ken (talk) 07:05, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Well, people are able to make any wiki that they want. If the name that they're creating matches another existing wiki, then the form recommends that they check it out, but they can still create the wiki if they want to. -- Danny

(talk) 07:07, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, okay. I was just curious, because I thought they had erased everything we were working on! But then I realized that there are two of them. -- Ken (talk) 07:09, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

archives question

I think this is a question for you. —Scott (talk) 04:11, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! I missed that one. -- Danny

The Cuckoos Are Full of Woods

Heh, I just wound up responding on the talk page to that blocked user. Oh well, it never really hurts to restate our policy on sources even if only to link to next time. I'll have to create a rumor page for all those crazy Swedish Chef claims one of these days. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 00:28, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Ha, I was planning to take that information off the Wikipedia page... I just checked and you beat me to it. -- Danny
