Welcome, Sidecar

This is serious. READ IT.

Before making your first article look over ED:101. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being banned by ED Sysops.

We realize a lot of you are busy or may be new to ED, so here's just the most important info:

  • Read ED:101. Seriously. The information contained within is invaluable. Further tutorials of use can be found here.
  • To answer a message, reply on the user's talk page (Tab at the top that says 'discussion').
  • Sign your comments by using four tildes (like this ~~~~)
  • These are the sysops. If you have a problem, talk to them. They're here to help; we promise.
  • The TJC is the community portal. It's linked to from every page; just look at the top left of the page. Check it daily.
  • Use Special:Upload to upload pictures. Be sure to give them meaningful names. Also, do not upload any CP or Bestiality pr0n or you will be b&.
  • Feeling social? Enjoy forums? Join here.
  • See ED:HELP and ED:POLICY for everything else.

RE:Captcha crapola

No, I don't mind you asking questions. Eventually CAPTCHA will go away after you edit the wiki enough. If you refresh your browser, that should allow you to try the CAPTCHA again without losing your edits. Or simply click the back button. reply 17:57, 7 February 2014 (EST)

Using one of my numerous socks to test. Weaselbot 18:01, 7 February 2014 (EST)
OK. I was able to enter the CAPTCHA without any issues. What browser and operating system are you using? reply 18:02, 7 February 2014 (EST)

You've been set to autoconfirmed users so you shouldn't have anymore issues with CAPTCHA. reply 20:50, 7 February 2014 (EST)

Thank you v much Sidecar 22:58, 7 February 2014 (EST)

THUMBS UP


You make a lot of edits, allowing we fat & lazy sysops to remain fat & lazy. Keep it up.   VX BREATHE DEEP   09:30, 10 February 2014 (EST)

HEY THERE!
Hey, Sidecar! I saw what you did with the Jimmy Savile article.
I just wanted to say keep up the good work.


Just wanted to give you a heads up and let you know what sterling work you've done on the Jimmy Savile article. Makes for very interesting reading. Thank you. - Cleveland Bay II - Return Of Cleveland Bay 11:25, 10 February 2014 (EST)

^ what he said... also, fyi, you don't need to add the tildes to your edit summary, just use them on talk/project pages. • Mr.Jonzz 22:35, 13 February 2014 (EST)

Sorry, didn't realise I was causing a problem. Anyway, I have now edited the Operation Newbridge timeline into a single section called "Peter and Pals" -- I think it's still far too long, but I can't see how to cut it without losing the 'gist' of the situation. Ruthless editz (or suggestions for edits) are therefore welcomed.Sidecar 13:58, 15 February 2014 (EST)

I actually sat down and read absolutely bloody everything that you've written about dear old Uncle Jim and his pedo-pals, last night. The whole article, all the subpages and links, everything. All I can say is fantastic. Absolutely sterling work. - Cleveland Bay II - Return Of Cleveland Bay 13:14, 2 March 2014 (EST)

New article note

You've been doing a fine job at editing, but one thing to keep in mind: when you make new articles such as William Hague‎, you should always start them in your user space to prevent ED from being filled with unfinished articles. Then when its finished, just ask an editor to move it for you 

Hi 

  00:41, 25 February 2014 (EST)

Oh I beg yr pardon -- I had actually read that rule, but completely forgot it. I shall abide by it in future. Sidecar 00:43, 25 February 2014 (EST)

RE:New pages (uncategorised)

As for William Hague, there isn't rule that articles must be created in the userspace, the bureaucrats have stated that numerous times. In fact, almost every article on ED is created in the mainspace. If you still want me to move it to your userspace that's fine but you're more than welcome to work in the mainspace. Regards, reply 07:45, 25 February 2014 (EST)

OK, thanks. Question: If I continue to create/edit in mainspace, how do I make sure that new pages get categorised? Do I have to raise it with a sysop, or is there some automatic "new page" alert system of which I know nothing? Sidecar 09:15, 25 February 2014 (EST)
[[Category:2014]]
{{FoxNews}}
{{Gaming}}
You're welcome to add pages to add categories, series/portal templates to articles. Above are examples for Category:2014, Template:FoxNews (series template) and Template:Gaming (portal template). reply 10:16, 25 February 2014 (EST)

Thanks again. I'll give that a go, but am such a klutz that I am bound to fuck it up repeatedly, so pls forgive me in advance.Sidecar 11:16, 25 February 2014 (EST)

The Downing Street Affair

It better be something good when I restore it. ••General Niggerson Page me. 21:37, 27 February 2014 (EST)

Eurgh, God, really? Boris and SamCam going at it like Tory weasels! How disgusting! I think that this is potentially a really good story if it's true and I would have no reservations about it being on ED. Page needs moar content, though, I think. You need to take it as far as it will go. Well done, you're a whistleblower, son. - Cleveland Bay II - Return Of Cleveland Bay 18:32, 1 March 2014 (EST)

Nominate yourself?

Have you considered nominating yourself to become an editor? reply 13:30, 2 March 2014 (EST)

While editor status gives you a some extra privileges, it isn't really a security role. Keeping an eye on recent changes is a good thing but for the most part it is business as usual. Later, if you want to feature an article, picture, video or quote, you may do so. You've received a lot of compliments on the wiki and that's why I encourage you do nominate yourself. reply 17:08, 2 March 2014 (EST)
Yeah, that's fine. reply 17:51, 2 March 2014 (EST)
hipcrime and I made a mistake, we have 2 roles, Editors and editor. The last one, I remember now, was to fix the problems you were having with CAPTCHA. You'll need to nominate yourself still when ready. reply 17:55, 2 March 2014 (EST)
You'll add yourself to the nomination page. There are also some instructions at the top of it. reply 18:05, 2 March 2014 (EST)

RE:I've arrived!!1

Heya, I'm watching a movie then going to see if I can sleep, but I'll have a look when I get up. And don't worry about it. reply 19:17, 3 March 2014 (EST)

Just letting you know I've not forgotten about you. Anyways, no shame in having an article end up on BNA, that just means we're encouraging others to look at it. Believe me, I've seen some absolutely terrible stuff, and none of your writings are the dreaded shitty attack article where you use the wiki to attack someone. You're here to write about stuff people care about. reply 21:37, 4 March 2014 (EST)

Jim'll Fix It!


Here is a navigation template I created for the articles. You're welcome to improve upon it if needed. reply 02:30, 17 March 2014 (EDT)

Thank you for your encouragement. Have been away. It's nice to know I'm writing things that people find interesting, but I don't want to stand accused of "taking it all too seriously". Please batter me into submission if you detect any sign of such a mentality developing. I'd like to re-embark by writing an article about the Conservative Party's ubertroll Enoch Powell, which has the potential to be quite inflammatory. My question though: Is he still 'current' enough (outside of far-right splinter-group ideologies) to warrant ED immortalisation?

Also, I like the template, but the way it reads left to right appears to indicate that Fairbridge came before Yewtree, when the reverse was the case. A minor point, but it irritates my sense of order. Can it be changed? Will check back in a day or two. Sidecar 16:37, 12 April 2014 (EDT)

I've added the articles you mentioned. In the future, you can type "Template:Jimmy Savile" into search to go directly to the template. Anyone is allowed to edit it. Regards, reply 18:11, 6 August 2014 (EDT)
THUMBS UP


You're doing God's work, son. Keep writing.
As to your question of whether a subject like Enoch Powell is current enough for an article, it doesn't matter. You are most welcome to write about anything and everything, provided you can make it moderately lulzy. It helps if it is Internet related, but it's not strictly required.  VX  • 18:48, 6 August 2014 (EDT)

I am trying, honest! And I know I've improved... a little bit. Anyway I'll be calming down my editing for a bit now. Apologies.Sidecar 16:11, 9 February 2015 (EST)
What's happening is you're hitting Save Page after every single pipe/sentence that you add, so we end up with a ton of "Royal Family" edits while scanning Recent Changes for anything possibly needing admin attention. It's really not that hard to use the button. Don't stop editing, just wait until you've finished adding everything you plan on adding for the day before you hit "Save." Vermin   16:23, 9 February 2015 (EST)

re: dupe jpg

so basically you want to go to the original file page of the one you uploaded, scroll down to file history and click "Upload a new version of this file" and upload over top it that way. it will take a little while for the thumbnails to all change /update when you upload a new version of a file over top tho.--Talk to me|Contribs 09:45, 12 February 2015 (EST)

Stephen Fry article

Hullo, in regards to the article, hope you don't mind if I do some trimming/lulzing up. The whole page is kind of... well it feels like it was written by Fry himself. A little over the top. Whether that was the whole point of it (and it flew over my head) or not, I'm just letting you know. Cheers! --Cloudsoda 19:56, 25 March 2015 (EDT)
