[edit] Please don't feed the trolls

Thanks for joining in the fight against vandalism, but this kind of thing is what is called "feeding the trolls". Warn vandals curtly, but clearly where needed, clear up the damage they do, but say as little as possible that they'll later be able to gloat over or show to their chums.

Saying less, or more simply, factual and boring statements has the effect of reducing the vandal's urge to return. The vandal is looking for excitement, so making personalised statements gives the idea that the efforts are getting to us. There is a hidden, even stronger sense of fun and pride in not giving the vandals the satisfaction of getting a rise out of you.

Perhaps, if you want to get more involved in vandal fighting, you want to add a {{User wikipedia/RC Patrol}} user tag to your user page. It displays like this:

This user is a recent changes patroller.

Thanks, I will try to be much more considerate the next time round.

[edit] List of songs featured in the simpsons

Thanks for your efforts you made on that article, I happened to be the "caretaker" of that article, and I actually thought of this idea a long time ago to have sorted tables, but I do not know how to do it in Wiki format, and finally someone came over to make it worthwhile. :-) Thanks alot!

You're welcome. It was my pleasure helping out. Lately, I've been surfing aroung Wikipedia looking for lists that need some help. I've noticed a lot of people aren't very good with the Wiki formatting and after a while things just start to get hairy. I'll try to finish up the parodies table tonight or tomorrow.

[edit] MS Paint skyscrapers

Hey man, sorry. I was going to answer but I got distracted, busy and end up forgetting.

Well, my problem with those images is that I saw a lot of gradients and strong anti-aliasing, which is extremely unnatural for MS Paint drawings, especially of that magnitude. The fact the images were poorly-compressed JPEGs didn't help much on this aspect either. (you should consider providing full resolution images on a lossless format such as PNG or GIF)

You're saying now that you've used additional programs for special effects, and some of these can be explained by that. Still, it seems that the largest resolutions available were not the full resolutions of those images, so it just doesn't look pixel artish enough for something detailed and of this scale made in MS Paint. It looked a lot more like some mix between vector and pixel art to me, and that's why I found it hard to believe.

But well, I don't know what to do, really. All Wikipedia has is your word on it, and that's not really verifiable. What I know is that if the link is to be included, it should also mention any of the other tools used. Also, be sure to give a good reason on the talk page of why that website deserves to be on the external links section.

Good luck, and again, sorry for not answering sooner. — Kieff | Talk 02:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maniac

Thanks for creating the page about the song Maniac. This is a useful addition to the article about Flashdance.--Ianmacm 19:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
