== Deletion request ==
 
 
Hi Jake - I accidentally created [[User:SuperHamster/vector.js/&action=edit&newstatus=]] while messing with the page URL. Could you please delete it? Sorry about that. Thanks, <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 17:39, 14 December 2010 (EST)

::A belated thanks, Vulpes. Now I've got another request :P While running my script, I accidentally created [[:File:BrawlGame]] while tagging [[:File:BrawlGame&Watch.jpg]], due to the darned ampersand in "Game&Watch".

==File Uploader==
 
Are there problems with the file uploader? I uploaded a new file of the United Kingdom flag and it doesn't seem to want to overwrite :/ It appears in the file history, but won't revert to it either. Very strange :P - [[User:MerrytonRyan|MerrytonRyan]] 15:22, 17 December 2010 (EST)
 
:I cannot upload large files on Safari, so I have to use Firefox. Try a different browser.

There aren't any problems that I know of. Are you sure the image you are uploading is the same file format? --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 15:30, 17 December 2010 (EST)
 
:Yep. I even deleted the file page and uploaded it in place of the name, but for some reason it keeps showing the old image :/ I'm using Firefox at the moment. I might delete my cache and see if that solves it. - [[User:MerrytonRyan|MerrytonRyan]]
 
::Let me know if that works for you. :) --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 17:31, 17 December 2010 (EST)
 
 
:Seems to of uploaded when viewing in Internet Explorer 8, just for some reason Firefox won't change the page. Odd. The cache has been cleared so I'm guessing it's just being miserable :P Does [[File:Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.png|50px]] appear the right way for other people? It should be two red crosses - one at the front, and one shaped as an X following the path of the white cross, rather than the one which was the old image :) - [[User:MerrytonRyan|MerrytonRyan]] 18:12, 17 December 2010 (EST)
 
::Seems to be working! :) --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 18:32, 17 December 2010 (EST)
 
::Ah good, all I see with Firefox is the blue background, white X and red cross flag, which hasn't been used since the 1800s :P - [[User:MerrytonRyan|MerrytonRyan]] 18:55, 17 December 2010 (EST)
 
:::Uh, that's what I see. When you click on it, the right flag comes up, but the one here is wrong.-[[User:Vulpes|Vulpes]] 18:56, 17 December 2010 (EST)

:::::There we go.-[[User:Vulpes|Vulpes]] 18:59, 17 December 2010 (EST)
 
::::Didn't work for me :/ It seems to be correct anyway, just a fault on my side. All this because I stumbled on the Userboxes page and found the GB flag was incorrect :P I was hoping to do it quietly :( - [[User:MerrytonRyan|MerrytonRyan]] 19:00, 17 December 2010 (EST)
 
 
== Checkuser ==
 
 
Hey, could you checkuser me? I don't know if I already have an account on this site and I want to know if I'm accidentally sockpuppeting >_> -[[User:Animalcrossingguy1|ACG1]] [[User talk:Animalcrossingguy1|(Talk)]]
 
:You're fine. No other accounts matched your IP. :) --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 13:46, 23 December 2010 (EST)
 
 
== e-Reader cards ==
 
 
Hey Jake - I've got a question for you at [[Nookipedia talk:Current events]]. At first I didn't realize that you created the to-do list, otherwise I would have originally directed the question directly to you on your talk page. Thanks, <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 01:21, 26 December 2010 (EST)
 
:I actually didn't create the entire to-do list. I'm not sure what ''e-reader cards'' refers to either. Perhaps you should contact SuperAlpaca or Dragonfree97. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 11:09, 26 December 2010 (EST)
 
::Well, yes. Uploading all the cards would be a good start. We need to decide how to present them, though...

== Forums ==
 
 
I'd just like to point out, on the forums, new users can't do anything. I've tried doing so many things, going on chat, editing every topic on the forum, creating new topics and even editing my profile - none of it works. The only thing I can do is add comments to other people's profiles. I think that should be changed :) Or will it fix with time? -[[User:Animalcrossingguy1|Acguy1]]
 
:Have you verified your account's email address? That is most likely the problem. :) --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 19:01, 1 January 2011 (EST)

== K.K. Chorele ==
 
 
I've only seen one other respons to this tirade, so thanks. Google "Animal Crossing Wiki", find the one at accf.wikispaces (its called Animal Crossing: Lets Go to the Wiki) which is a wiki on City Folk. From there, search "Hacker Set". Spmewhere in that list is K.K. Chorele. Its on that page because the only way to get it is by hacking. My tirade is also on the discussion of "Hacker Set". Thanks for saying something, man. For more sites that mention it, google "K.K. Chorele".
 
 
Thanks. [[User:Ratfael|Ratfael]] 13:52, 8 February 2011 (EST)
 
 
:Not a problem. I searched for "K.K. Chorele" in Google, ignoring its spelling suggestion. The [http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=K.K.+Chorele#hl=en&sa=X&ei=Y6hRTfOYHIP78AbenNDrCQ&ved=0CGEQvgUoAA&q=K.K.+Chorele&nfpr=1&fp=509d93197c8251b0 results returned] all seem to come from [[Animal_Crossing:_Let%27s_Go_To_The_Wiki|that wiki]], followed by a few other random results. Seeing as there aren't any references provided on the wiki page, the song's existence is somewhat questionable. I think it was most likely just a fake edit made by an editor to either fill up space or throw people off. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 15:38, 8 February 2011 (EST)
 
 
== Recent text replacement ==
 
 
Hey Jake. The recent text replacing that you did for the infobox image sizes is great, except for one thing: on pages where the the image sizes were already specified, image sizes were combined, like [http://nookipedia.com/w/index.php?title=Twirp&curid=3196&diff=17745&oldid=13747 this]. Most of these errors look visually fine when the article is viewed (such as the one I just linked to). There were exceptions, however, such as [http://nookipedia.com/w/index.php?title=Yuka&curid=3046&diff=17763&oldid=13359 this], in which the images were really blown up. I have gone through all the edits and fixed the ones that caused major visual errors, but many articles still have the coding mixup. Any way to easily fix this without having to do it manually? Thanks, <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 00:38, 10 February 2011 (EST)
 
:It doesn't seem like we're allowed to use regular expressions in text replacements, and I can't find any strings that would match correctly. Sadly, I think we're going to need to correct these manually. I'm really sorry for causing this. I never saw this coming based on the confirmation screen. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 16:03, 10 February 2011 (EST)
 
 
== Countdown ==
 
 
It ain't working. If I am doing something wrong in my sandbox, please fix it. But it showed up when I checked history. I am confuzzled. '''''[[User:SuperAlpaca|<font color="OliveDrab">Super</font>]]''''' <sup><small>''([[User Talk:SuperAlpaca|<font color="DarkSlateBlue">duh...</font>]])''</small></sup>'''''[[Special:Editcount/SuperAlpaca|<font color="SteelBlue">Alpaca</font>]]'''''[[File:Doggie Mask.gif|link=Special:Contributions/SuperAlpaca]] 21:06, 12 March 2011 (EST)
 
:I've run some tests, and it appears that the Countdown extension is broken. I'm looking into possible fixes. :) --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 21:45, 12 March 2011 (EST)
 
 
== Issues editing ==
 
 
Well, I cannot edit the Zipper T. Bunny page because there is a word on it that is on a list, and I tried posting here yesterday, but I had the word in it. So, can you fix the issue? The word was J-O-B-S. '''''[[User:SuperAlpaca|<font color="OliveDrab">Super</font>]]''''' <sup><small>''([[User Talk:SuperAlpaca|<font color="DarkSlateBlue">duh...</font>]])''</small></sup>'''''[[Special:Editcount/SuperAlpaca|<font color="SteelBlue">Alpaca</font>]]'''''[[File:Doggie Mask.gif|link=Special:Contributions/SuperAlpaca]] 13:40, 27 March 2011 (EDT)
 
:J-o-b-s was added to the censor because it's used by all of the spam bots. If we remove it, spam bots would be able to post again. You'll just need to use a different synonym for that word. Sorry. :( --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 13:43, 27 March 2011 (EDT)
 
::You could try "<font size="2">jo</font>bs". It's how I get pass word filters usually (if it's a word used in appropriate context and isn't rude :P It can be a bit messy though, so a diffferent word might have to be the way :/ - [[User:MerrytonRyan|MerrytonRyan]] 15:20, 27 March 2011 (EDT)
 
:::I did not add that word to the page; it was already there. '''''[[User:SuperAlpaca|<font color="OliveDrab">Super</font>]]''''' <sup><small>''([[User Talk:SuperAlpaca|<font color="DarkSlateBlue">duh...</font>]])''</small></sup>'''''[[Special:Editcount/SuperAlpaca|<font color="SteelBlue">Alpaca</font>]]'''''[[File:Doggie Mask.gif|link=Special:Contributions/SuperAlpaca]] 15:52, 27 March 2011 (EDT)
 
::::The word was added before the censor was put in place, and so it needs to be modified before the system will accept edits to the page. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 15:58, 27 March 2011 (EDT)
 
 
== Replace Text accident ==
 
 
I accidentally forgot to enter what it was supposed to change to.... Now, all the Category:Male Characters are nothing instead of Category:Male characters. Can you fix it or do we have to do it manually. Also, rollbacking is bad because I installed the new infobox template to them and rollback would get rid of that as well. '''''[[User:SuperAlpaca|<font color="OliveDrab">Super</font>]]''''' <sup><small>''([[User Talk:SuperAlpaca|<font color="DarkSlateBlue">duh...</font>]])''</small></sup>'''''[[Special:Editcount/SuperAlpaca|<font color="SteelBlue">Alpaca</font>]]'''''[[File:Doggie Mask.gif|link=Special:Contributions/SuperAlpaca]] 18:00, 2 April 2011 (EDT)
 
:We were lucky that because the replacement left behind a [[]], I could run another text replace on only the villagers to fix it. :) --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 18:11, 2 April 2011 (EDT)

== Images ==
 
 
 
Eh, I don't really want to make a bad article for Club Nintendo; the images I uploaded are [[:File:Club Nintendo March 2011.jpg|here]] and [[:File:Club Nintendo March 2011 back.jpg|here]]. We can also incorporate the [[Animal Crossing Playing Cards|playing cards]]. [[User:ht14|ht14]] <sub>([[User talk:ht14|talk]])</sub> 20:27, 8 May 2011 (EDT)
 
:The best part of a wiki is that there are others here to help you. Try your best to make the article, and mark it with the <pre>{{Construction}}</pre> and or <pre>{{Stub}}</pre> templates if you feel it needs more work. :) --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 22:29, 8 May 2011 (EDT)
 
 
== Regarding POV ==
 
 
 
Should the wiki be in 1st person or third person? The wiki is very inconsistent, even within articles. [[User:ht14|ht14]] <sub>([[User talk:ht14|talk]])</sub> 20:55, 8 May 2011 (EDT)
 
:Third person is always preferred. We're working on rewriting articles that are written in first person, so third person should be used in all future articles. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 22:29, 8 May 2011 (EDT)
 
 
::Alright, I'll keep that in mind. =) [[User:ht14|ht14]] <sub>([[User talk:ht14|talk]])</sub> 23:44, 8 May 2011 (EDT)
 
 
== Deletion request ==
 
 
 
The only reason I'm telling you is because putting the delete template does not register the Pending Deletion category. Can you help delete User:ht14/monobook.css? Thanks in advance. [[User:ht14|ht14]] <sub>([[User talk:ht14|talk]])</sub> 00:39, 9 May 2011 (EDT)
 
:No problem. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 15:55, 9 May 2011 (EDT)
