Feel free to post questions or proposals here, although I'll probably read and respond faster if they're posted on the forum. Please note: I clear this page frequently.

Movie screenshot license
Hi Jake - I was wondering if you could add Template:Movie screenshot to the list of license options available when a user uploads an image? Thanks. ~Super Hamster  Talk 02:30, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
 * No problem. :) -- Ja ke  10:57, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

Birthday Schedule
I put together the templates for the October birthdays, but I can't edit pages in the scehdule namespace. Is there somewhere I could put those (sandbox or user subpage, maybe?) for someone else to make pages out of? -Sky (talk)    14:15, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
 * I've changed the protection settings to allow any autoconfirmed user editing access to that namespace. You should be able to edit them now. Thanks for all of the work you've been doing! :) -- Ja ke  17:16, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

Honored Member...until 1969
Hey Jake. I recently got honored member status, but there's a little problem...the notice that appeared at the top of the page once I became an honored member read "You are an honored member. As a reward for helping Nookipedia grow and prosper, we are pleased to offer you an ad-free experience until December 31, 1969. Keep up the good work! Click here to dismiss this notice." Special:HonoredMembers still says that honored member status will last until November 21, 2011 for me though, so it's just an issue with the notice by the looks of it. ~Super Hamster  Talk 13:33, 22 October 2011 (EDT)
 * That's pretty odd, and I just tested this and it's not happening to me. I know all dates in Unix are made relative to 12/31/1969, but there's no reason for the site to display that to you instead of the real date. I've just un-dismissed your notice, so could you please tell me if it's still happening? Thanks! :) -- Ja ke  15:02, 22 October 2011 (EDT)
 * The notice turned out correctly this time...odd. Thanks! ~Super Hamster  Talk 17:33, 22 October 2011 (EDT)
 * Must have been a one-time rendering glitch. Glad it's working now! :) -- Ja ke  20:43, 22 October 2011 (EDT)
 * I just got the weird date in the Honored Member notice, and I recall getting it the first time, too. It only happened the first time the notice appeared; when I went to another page the date corrected itself. -Sky (talk)    20:20, 9 November 2011 (EST)
 * Interesting. My best guess would be that the server is trying to cache the notice without realizing that the date is dynamic. I'll look into possible fixes, but it's not a very big issue. Thanks for your report! -- Ja ke  20:37, 9 November 2011 (EST)

Hi-ho, this is Gooptek!
Thanks for helping me, I'm not very good at images... Also, it's good to know that there are Earthbound fans here... Hey, how did you managed to place that Pierce photo onto the "Favorite Villager" Userbox¿
 * No problem! Welcome to Nookipedia! To put an image into the villager info box, you just add this argument:

image=
 * And yeah, I love Eartbound too! I'm playing Mother 3 right now. See you around the wiki! :) -- Ja ke  12:59, 30 October 2011 (EDT)

Uh, sorry to bother you again, but it isn't working... I don't know if I'm doing it right or wrong...--Gooptek 15:42, 2 November 2011 (EDT)
 * No problem! You mean on your user page? It seems fine to me. I see a Mr. Saturn inside the box. :) -- Ja ke  15:49, 2 November 2011 (EDT)
 * I think he's talking about the favorite villager userbox on his page, and the Pierce fan userbox on your page. I added a field to the template to allow users to add an image of their favorite villager, so he should be able to put an image in now. -Sky (talk)    15:54, 2 November 2011 (EDT)

Uh, Jake, this precisely has nothing to do with the Wiki, but... In wich Chapter are you in Mother 3¿ It's because I need help with the game...--Gooptek 10:42, 6 November 2011 (EST)
 * I'm near the end of Chapter 4. :) -- Ja ke  11:14, 6 November 2011 (EST)

Well, I'm on the Chapter Boss (of Chapter 4, too). It's very hard, I can't seem to defeat it... Not even Wikibound could help me...--Gooptek 11:50, 9 November 2011 (EST)
 * Actually, I just checked my game and I'm on chapter 5. Not sure how I beat the boss of chapter 4 though. :P Good luck, and let me know how it goes! -- Ja ke  14:53, 9 November 2011 (EST)

Well, I've managed to defeat the Beaten Drum and the Gently Sweeping Guitar with a few PSI LOVE α, but the Jealous Bass keeps rockin' me with his Music Jam attack and his insane offense boost! I've read that I have to use Pencil Rockets with Boney, but they're very pricy, and they're sold at a shop wich lies at the entrance to the attic, a hard-to-reach place once you've explored it deep!--Gooptek 21:20, 11 November 2011 (EST)
 * Yeah, I think I remember using a few Pencil Rockets on him. I just found this YouTube video which may provide some tips on how to beat him. Hope that helps! :) -- Ja ke  21:30, 11 November 2011 (EST)

Hello! Sorry for taking too long to post the result. He defeated me so fast, I could barely use a Sprinting Bomb... Well, I think that's because I'm level 12 with both Lucas and Boney, so that means that I only need to get to level 19 or so to defeat it. But it's so hard even to level up there at the attic, with all of the strong enemies... Also, what is that (EST) that you place at the end of every "comment"¿ (Oh, and thanks for the video! I've seen that, after the battle, the person that was playing leveled up to level 20. Now I know at wich level I need to be!)--Gooptek 12:29, 17 November 2011 (EST)
 * No problem! And yeah, it always helps to spend some time grinding some levels. I always like to be at a slightly higher level than normal for boss fights. And the (EST) following most time stamps refers to the Eastern Time Zone, which is the time zone our website follows. -- Ja ke  15:03, 17 November 2011 (EST)

Hey! Sorry for taking too long to answer. There's no good news... they're INCREDIBLE news! Now, I've rocked him with a few PK Rockin' α (also known as PK LOVE α) and some pencil rockets! And nobody in my party got defeated! Thank you for helping me find the level that I've needed to be to beat him!--Gooptek 21:26, 26 November 2011 (EST)
 * No problem! And that's great! I really should start playing Mother 3 again soon, or at least start editing at Wikibound. -- Ja ke  22:08, 26 November 2011 (EST)
 * I like the sound of that. ;) Tacopill 23:08, 26 November 2011 (EST).

request from SEIWA
Hey Jake, I am here representing the Square-Enix Independent Wiki Alliance. They are requesting an affilation with Nookipedia. Do you think you guys would be interested? Tacopill 21:50, 26 November 2011 (EST).
 * Hey Taco! I'll bring it up with the rest of the staff and get back to you soon! :) -- Ja ke  22:04, 26 November 2011 (EST)
 * Sounds good! And Thank you. Tacopill 23:08, 26 November 2011 (EST).

Templates
Hey Jake, I was wondering if I could update some of the outdated templates. I've already done one (Template:Monkey) but I wanted permission before I do another. Thanks! Sean 00:56, 27 November 2011 (EST)
 * Sure, and thanks for your help with the Monkey template! :) -- Ja ke  01:06, 27 November 2011 (EST)

Concept Art Sections for the Games
Hi again! I was wondering if it would be a good idea to add a gallery section to the game pages for that games concept art. I think it'd be really helpful for viewers of this wiki! Sean 21:50, 3 December 2011 (EST)
 * Hey Sean. I think that's a great idea! If you have concept art for the games, feel free to upload it. :) -- Ja ke  21:53, 3 December 2011 (EST)
 * Thanks! Sean 21:57, 3 December 2011 (EST)

Let's be friend's!
This will probably stick out on a page of complaints and glitches, but... do you play AC: CF? Becuase I do, and none of my friends do, and you're the only other on on the wiki right now, and.... I'M SOOOOO LLLLLOOOONNNLYYYYYY!!!!! WAAAH! =*(
 * Sadly, I don't play Animal Crossing much any more. Otherwise, I would've loved to play. :) -- Ja ke  09:20, 25 December 2011 (EST)

I'm no time traveller!!!
I signed in to the Wiki yesterday to find that it said Jingle was delivering presents!!! It is supposed to be today, not YESTERDAY!!! Otherwise, I would have missed out! My Wii (my gate to the internet) was on the correct date, what happened??? Spongeabc5 22:29, 24 December 2011 (EST) (The "Let's be friends!" kid)
 * So you're saying that the Jingle noticed appeared on both the 23rd and 24th? -- Ja ke  09:20, 25 December 2011 (EST)

Yes, on the 23rd, it said "Hey, everybody! Jingle comes to town tonight!" and on the 24th it said, "Happy Holidays, Everyone!" P.S. I'm not sure if this helps or not, but when I was bored, I started to look around at in-game events, and the table under the picture for Toy day said that it occurs on the 23rd. ????? Just in case it helps, I edited it to say "December 23rd (24th in City Folk)" Spongeabc5 17:15, 27 December 2011 (EST)
 * Actually, I just looked it up and Toy Day does occur on the 23rd in every game except City Folk. So I guess that's why the notice is displayed on both days. I've edited the notice for the 23rd to make it more apparent that it's only for AC:GC. :) -- Ja ke  10:21, 28 December 2011 (EST)

Any Pages that need editing?
Hi Jake, I'm wondering if there are any pages that need some cleaning up??? Cause I'm hoping that I can be a great help to this Wiki. SO... if there are could you put them on my talk page please??? AnimalCrosser4 09:20, 25 December 2011 (EST)

I'm not Jake, but I could help you out with of that. You can go to the Under Construction or Cleanup sections and search for anything that needs to be edited. There is also the Stubs section as well. I hope this helps!!!! :) mlnintendo97 edited this! 00:43, 28 September 2012 (EDT)

Chat?
Should there be some sort of chat on the wiki? And maybe even a bulletin system? I mean, so people can exchange friend codes and make bulletins of where things are buried in their town, maybe? Just an idea.
 * Yeah, we'd definitely like to add something like that to the wiki at some point. We've got a ton of new features planned for this year. For now though, the forums are probably the best place to exchange friend codes. -- Ja ke  12:24, 14 January 2012 (EST)
 * Alright, thanks for your consideration. -- MarioStrikerz Talk 12:27, 14 January 2012 (EST)

Editor Categories
Along with the userboxes saying what rank/kind of editor you are, should we have a category embedded in the userboxes? -- MarioStrikerz <font COLOR="#330099">Talk 16:46, 14 January 2012 (EST)


 * I'm not Jake, but in my opinion they aren't necessary. There are twenty edit count userboxes, which means twenty added categories, and many of them will have very few or no users in them. Of course, that's not as bad as all the "fan of ___" categories, but these types of categories seem like they could be more divisive between members than people grouping based on where they're from or what they like. <span style="font-family:Candara; font-size:120%; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px rgba(70,130,180,.8)"><font color="#4682B4">-Sky  <font color="#4682B4">(talk)    17:09, 14 January 2012 (EST)
 * Yeah, I have to agree. Categories that just keep track of user lists aren't very helpful at all. I actually think we should start removing them, as most aren't even used. -- Ja ke  10:17, 15 January 2012 (EST)
 * I agree with Jake. I would actually propose a revamp of userboxes with the style being Template:UBPierce Fans or Template:UBAdministrator so the userbox templates do not get mixed up with the real templates.

Talk
Hi, I am Starphoria of Starfy Wiki. I was wondering if I could talk to you sometime soon? Would it be best on the NWA forums? Or do you have a Skype account? --Starphoria 17:11, 18 March 2012 (EDT)
 * Hello! The best way to contact me is probably via email. You can reach me at jake@nookipedia.com. :) -- Ja ke  20:44, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

We need Icaruspedia and the Dragon Quest Wiki on the table please. Thanks,  Leem  0 1 02:44, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Rename
Hello,

Nice to meet you! I'm, Sdgsgfs an user in this wiki. Well, I'm not really new to editing nor the Animal Crossing City (was shocked about the moving thing, but was a good idea actually). I want to rename myself, since the name is kinda not professional, so can you please, rename me to "Wolfgang"?

Thank you, Sdgsgfs 19:46, 10 August 2012 (EDT)

Jake isn't really active much anymore, so SuperHamster is kinda in charge now. you can always contact jake at jake@nookipedia.com to get ahold of him if you really need to contact him! - mlnintendo97 ( talk )

fwd: FlashMP3 extension
Heyo Jake, I was thinking we could use the FlashMP3 extension and was told to bring it up with you. I think it'd be a good addition for the song pages. — imjon (talk) 15:02, 18 July 2013 (EDT)

Hey, Jake, sorry to bother you, but I'd like you to upload in the .png format. The server won't allow this big, transparent image at that size. Thanks! <font color="Red">Mario <font color="Blue">Talk to-a me! 23:46, September 19, 2013 (EDT)

What can i Edit?
Hello Jake i was wondering what can i edit on Nookipedia? --N64dude (talk) 12:57, August 26, 2014 (EDT)
 * You are welcome to edit any pages that you feel you could improve in some way. We've also got a list of Things to Do that may give you some ideas on where to start. I would also take a moment to review our Editing Policy, to ensure that none of your contributions are in violation of our wiki's policies. Feel free to reach out to the staff if you have any specific questions. -- Ja ke  11:31, August 27, 2014 (EDT)

Hey
Have you ever listened to Happy Synthesizer by Tako Luka? It's the kawaiiest(is that a word?) song ever! It's even better than ACNL music(although I still like ACNL music)

--50.136.149.237 15:48, January 9, 2015 (EST)


 * No, I've never heard of it before. -- Ja ke  11:19, January 10, 2015 (EST)

Are you gonna listen to it? It's so adorable!

--50.136.149.237 13:45, January 10, 2015 (EST)

I've listened to it.

Age limit
Is there an age limit for the bulletin board forums? --Pachisu123 (talk) 19:46, October 22, 2015 (EDT)
 * Hi! Unfortunately due to U.S. law, we do have to make the age requirement 13 years old. Sorry about that! -- Ja ke  08:46, October 23, 2015 (EDT)

But why does the wiki have no age limit? I don't understand!

--Pachisu123 (talk) 17:55, October 24, 2015 (EDT)
 * The wiki doesn't have an age requirement because we don't directly ask for any personal information from minors, whereas the nature of a forum encourages the sharing of personal information and requires an email address to sign up. The wiki signup page terms of agreement (included below) state that those under 13 cannot provide a real name or email address for their account, which allows us to remain complaint with US Law while still allowing minors to create accounts.

-- Ja ke  16:23, October 25, 2015 (EDT)

Why does the forum require email but not wiki?

--Pachisu123 (talk) 19:30, October 25, 2015 (EDT)
 * Posting on the forum is a more social environment, and as such, involves a certain level of accountability. Collecting an email address allows us to increase the barrier of registration to prevent spam accounts and allow us to keep the site family friendly. The wiki is more of a collaborative environment than a social one, is a lot easier to monitor, and has more staff members. A while back it was decided that we would not require emails on the wiki even though it could lead to an increase in spam, in order to allow younger users like yourself to register under the above terms. If you truly want to create an account on the forums, I can provide you with a form which your parents would need to fill out and fax in to us. However, this is probably more trouble than it's worth since the forums really aren't very active thse days anyway. -- Ja ke  20:33, October 25, 2015 (EDT)

Sockpuppets
What do you do when you find out that someone created a sock puppet account used to pretend to be someone else?

--Pachisu123 (talk) 18:24, October 26, 2015 (EDT)
 * We generally block the sockpuppet account and post an informal reminder or an official warning on sockpuppeting depending on the severity of it. The "sockpuppet" can technically be a sibling, however, so we give benefit of the doubt before acting upon the sockpuppet and the original accounts. 20:50, October 26, 2015 (EDT)
