User talk:Jake

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.

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, ~SuperHamster Talk 17:39, 14 December 2010 (EST)

I've done it.-Vulpes 17:44, 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". Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk 02:47, 27 December 2010 (EST)

Deleted as requested. :) --Jake 10:26, 27 December 2010 (EST)

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 - MerrytonRyan 15:22, 17 December 2010 (EST)

I cannot upload large files on Safari, so I have to use Firefox. Try a different browser. Super ^(duh...)Alpaca 15:29, 17 December 2010 (EST)

There aren't any problems that I know of. Are you sure the image you are uploading is the same file format? --Jake 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. - MerrytonRyan

Let me know if that works for you. :) --Jake 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 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 :) - MerrytonRyan 18:12, 17 December 2010 (EST)

Seems to be working! :) --Jake 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 - 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.-Vulpes 18:56, 17 December 2010 (EST)

Purge the page? --Jake 18:57, 17 December 2010 (EST)

There we go.-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 :( - 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 >_> -ACG1 (Talk)

You're fine. No other accounts matched your IP. :) --Jake 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, ~SuperHamster Talk 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. --Jake 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... Super ^(duh...)Alpaca 12:36, 26 December 2010 (EST)

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? -Acguy1

Have you verified your account's email address? That is most likely the problem. :) --Jake 19:01, 1 January 2011 (EST)

Perfect!--Animalcrossingguy1 19:30, 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. Ratfael 13:52, 8 February 2011 (EST)

Not a problem. I searched for "K.K. Chorele" in Google, ignoring its spelling suggestion. The results returned all seem to come from 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. --Jake 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 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 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, ~SuperHamster Talk 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. --Jake 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. Super ^(duh...)Alpaca 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. :) --Jake 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. Super ^(duh...)Alpaca 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. :( --Jake 13:43, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

You could try "jobs". 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 :/ - MerrytonRyan 15:20, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

I did not add that word to the page; it was already there. Super ^(duh...)Alpaca 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. --Jake 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. Super ^(duh...)Alpaca 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. :) --Jake 18:11, 2 April 2011 (EDT)

Good. Sorry about that... Super ^(duh...)Alpaca 18:46, 2 April 2011 (EDT)
