<br />
'''Slurm''', the number-one soft drink of the future, is refreshingly addictive. It is produced in a factory on the planet [[Wormulon]] by a race known only as the [[Slurm Worms]]. Their corporate mascot is [[Slurms MacKenzie]], "The Original Party Worm". However, the {{Planet Express|crew}} discovered it actually comes from a [[Slurm Queen|giant worm]]'s behind.<br />
<br />
[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is a huge Slurm fan, and rarely goes more than 12 minutes without one. <br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
[[file:2851.jpg|thumb|left|225px|Slurm seen on a billboard in a photo from [[2851]].]]<br />
Slurm has been around at least since the [[2850s]], when it was advertised as ''Slurm Medicinal Tonic''. For many years [[Slurms MacKenzie]] was Slurm's spokesperson, until his tragic death {{et|1ACV13}}. He has since been shown advertising Slurm on a TV screen in the [[V-GINY]] {{et|6ACV02}}, but that could also have been an old video, or MacKenzie could have been replaced by a "new" MacKenzie or a clone, or possibly even a robotic MacKenzie.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
Slurm has a {{w|secret recipe}} to avoid the disgusting truth - that it is the excrement of a giant [[Slurm Worms|Slurm Worm]] known as the [[Slurm Queen]]. The Slurm Queen can also produce [[Royal Slurm]], which, if eaten, turns a larval worm into a queen. This secret was discovered by the Planet Express crew in [[3000]], and the disgusting revelation lead [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] to attempt to get Slurm banned, but Fry was so addicted that he foiled the attempt {{et|1ACV13}}.<br />
<br />
=== Types of Slurm ===<br />
[[File:Slurmee.jpg|right|thumb|225px|Slurmee, one of the many types of the beverage.]]<br />
*'''Slurm:''' The soft drink which is the most common type of Slurm.<br />
*'''Slurmee:''' A frozen version of Slurm similar to the Icee, Slushee and Slurpee ice drinks in reality, as well as the {{s|Squishee}} in ''[[The Simpsons]]''.<br />
*'''Royal Slurm:''' A purple liquid which turns people into a Slurm Queen.<br />
*'''Super Slurm:''' So delicious that people cannot resist it and will drink it until they explode.<br />
*'''New Slurm:''' A hypothetical beverage that would've been produced by Leela, had she been successfully transformed into a Slurm Queen by the royal slurm. Because she wasn't true worm royalty, her Slurm would have tasted awful, allowing the company to make millions by re-releasing the old flavour as 'Slurm Classic'. This concept mocks {{w|New Coke}} and the alleged conspiracy that some people believe was behind its creation.<br />
*'''Diet Slurm:''' A version of Slurm that presumably has less sugar and calories. When mixed with Mentos it creates a geyser-like phenomenon, much like {{w|Diet Coke and Mentos eruption|this}}.<br />
*'''Enslurm:''' The Professor drinks this in a flashback in "[[Overclockwise]]". It comes in a small, light-blue can.<br />
*'''[[Slurm Loco]]:''' Seen on [[Bev]]'s drink buttons. Those who drink it glow green.<br />
*'''Slurm Medicinal Tonic:''' Slurm in the [[2850s]] was sold as a medicine (much like {{w|Coca-Cola}} and {{w|Pepsi}} in the late [[1800s]]).<br />
*'''Slurm Slim:''' Seen in the Planet Express fridge in "[[Murder on the Planet Express]]".<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The word "Slurm" seems to be a combination of the words "{{cat|slug}}" and "worm". It is a [http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=77405657 registered trademark] of [[20th Century Fox]].<br />
*The font used for the Slurm logos is "{{w|Cooper Black}}" &mdash; the same font used for the opening credits of the show "Cheers".<br />
*Slurm was made into an actual novelty energy drink. The can's tagline is "It's highly addictive".<br />
*Slurm trucks are seen regularly in ''[[Futurama]]'', most notably in the [[opening sequence]]. The trucks have also been seen as early as [[2849]].<br />
*The Slurm logo makes an appearance in the Oscar-winning short ''{{w|Logorama}}''.<br />
**The {{S|Slurm}} logo also makes an appearance ''[[The Simpsons]]'' parody of ''Logorama'', "Logomania" which aired after "{{S|A Tree Grows in Springfield}}".<br />
*It is an example of coprophagia, the consumption of faecal matter.<br />
<br />
=== Appearances ===<br />
Technically, Slurm appears in every episode and film of ''Futurama'', as it is in the opening sequence. This list includes appearances outside of the opening sequence only.<br />
*{{e|1ACV13}}<br />
*{{e|4ACV07}} - on a poster in [[Apartment 00100100]]<br />
*{{e|4ACV14}} - can<br />

*{{e|6ACV02}} - inside the [[V-GINY]]<br />
*{{e|6ACV21}}<br />
*{{e|7ACV01}} - on a poster in Apartment 00100100, and on Bev's drink button panel<br />
*{{e|7ACV24}}<br />

<div>==[[Globetrotters]]==<br />
<br />
I'm sorry. Though I still believe that the Globetrotters are not humans, I accept the only evidence that exists, which is the mention you brought up. I apologize again for my baseless insistence. [[User:ProfessorBlank|ProfessorBlank]] 20:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Don't worry. But I do write summaries to my edits for a reason. But I remember listening to the commentary and they did define them as humans, who had at one point in time simply gone off to their own planet for some reason.<br />
:Infosphere considers the commentaries [[canon]] unless they are actually wrong (e.g. calling the whale seen in "[[Leela's Homeworld]]" [[Mushu]], which cannot be possible as Mushu is an episode that occurs later than the events of "Leela's Homeworld").<br />
:Oh and, thanks for your contributions. :) --[[User:Svip|Svip]]<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
One more thing: those anonymous edits were me forgetting to sign in. [[User:ProfessorBlank|ProfessorBlank]] 20:51, 8 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Perhaps our warning on that note should be bigger and more eye catchy! --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 21:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Vandalism and css ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on your first edit as a registered user. Also, the screenshot of your CSS is looking awesome. I've been wanting to update the look around here, so keep up the good work and we just might use it! &rarr; {{User:Buddy13/sig}} 11:00, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
:Oh, and do you know how to upgrade the wiki? Have you ever worked with Dreamhost-based wikis? I can do the actual upgrade, but the script-running part eludes me. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 11:05, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
:: Yes yes, I have all my wikis on Dreamhost systems. And yes, I have been modifying them. I'd gladly help. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 11:38, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
::: Also, I added you to MSN, so we might talk. :o --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 11:40, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
::::I don't have internet at home, so I almost never sign on to MSN anymore. But one of these days when I have a day off (maybe saturday or sunday), I'll do that and we can go over it and finally upgrade the Infosphere. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 11:44, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
:Certainly a good start. Not sure that the page title should be blue highlighted though. Near Death Star probably shouldn't really be the logo. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 22:14, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
::Yes the logo should be changed to the Infosphere but I like it - [[User:Humorbot 0.4|Humorbot 0.4]] 00:10, 9 March 2007 (PST)<br />
:::In that case, it would be nice if someone could send me a picture of it cut out, with the background being transparent (e.g. png) and not white. It took me long enough cutting the Near Death Star out, though I thought the references to Wookiepedia was funny. :< --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 04:31, 9 March 2007 (PST)<br />
<br />
Yeah, that's a great skin you got there. Hopefully the new Futurama-wiki skin sometime in a near future...ama! But I have to ask... what is the program you are using on the example for your Futurama-wiki skin? --IsakBQ 06:59, 9 March 2007 (PST)<br />
:I am using Firefox with the Web developer toolbar, which allows you to edit any site's HTML, CSS, everything. The screenshot was taken with the Linux command ''import''. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 07:10, 9 March 2007 (PST)<br />

== In response to "Good greif! What version of MediaWiki is this?" ==<br />
<br />
[[Special:Version]] - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 17:53, 23 March 2007 (PDT)<br />
: Then why can't I split up templates with new lines? I can do that on my own wikis and on Wikipedia. And a lot of other wikis.<br />
: See the ''[[Template:Character infobox]] (usage)'' I made for what I mean it was suppose to look, but if you check the source of my user page, I must do it on one line. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 18:08, 23 March 2007 (PDT)<br />
::Hmm, that IS odd; if we do start using infobox templates on most articles we should really figure out what's causing the difference, like you I've never seen a MediaWiki setup that DIDN'T allow the much more readable multi-line format for templates. Must be something Buddy has specifically configured, I think, since MediaWiki supports this out-of-the-box, with a default configuration... [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 09:44, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
:::Don't look at me. I think it's just the older, un-updated version we've got going here. I think I might be able to upgrade eventually, though. Sorry for the suckage. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 10:45, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
::::It's all good man, not everybody's a code monkey :) You really might want to concider giving server access to one of the active contributors who's more knowledgable about web programming, php/java etc, though, then you could just direct our requests and comments to them and go back to work :) [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 10:49, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
:::::The saddest part about all this is that&mdash;depending on your definition&mdash;, I <em>am</em> a codemonkey of sorts. I am fluent in the latest XHTML, CSS, and SVG, yet scripting has always escaped me. I'm finally learning JS, but it's a very slow process. I'll probably never learn PHP or anything that advanced. And as for server access... They'd have to earn a pretty high level of trust before I'd be handing out access to the files that run this place. It's a scary thought, the things people could do with that access. P.S., how's <em>your</em> knowledge of such things?</em> --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 10:56, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
<br />
::::Good enough; I was a programmer first so I'm better at js/php than I am at css, and command lines don't phase me in the slightest. [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 11:06, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Congratulations, you now have access to the database. Info to follow. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 11:39, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
::::::I might add my skills for programming, I have been coding XHTML, CSS for years, too have I created PHP and MySQL systems for years as well. Recently I have started coding in C++, Java and other languages. I have good understanding of the MediaWiki system, mainly because I run a couple of Wiki's myself. And as for command lines, I am using the terminal on daily basis at home. I know that it has large advantages over usually GUI's. Here is some of the PHP work I have done: [http://demo.klinobluriean.org/forums/] And lately I have been working on a 2D engine for some game projects using SDL. Just so we understand one another... --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 15:06, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />

<br />
== Template:Wikipedia ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for fixing it, I just typed it from memory and hadn't gotten around to testing it yet, as I was editing two other articles at the same time. [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 15:54, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
: I'd also like to apologies if I sounded a bit rude in the summary... --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 15:55, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
::It's all good, no hard feelings; I have a very high tolerance for such things. When I started ot make the Wikpiedia template I was planning to paste one I wrote on another wiki, which is far more flexible, then I remembered it needs many features not present in this version, and just spit that out as a placeholder. <br />
::Since I haven't said so yet, I love the proposed css changes you've posted; I'm pretty sure Buddy agrees, so as soon as the upgrade is finished we'll get your changes made. Planning on doing the upgrade sometime this weekend, so hopefully we drop in the css changes within the week. [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 16:16, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
== Spelling==<br />
Thanks for correcting the spelling as you can guess I'm not the greatest typer always missing out letters in words - [[User:Humorbot 0.4|Humorbot 0.4]] 13:01, 25 April 2007 (PDT)<br />

<br />
Svip, I wanted to thank you for cleaning up some of my entries! I am really enjoying being apart of this wiki and want to help expand the available knowledge that available to the community as best as I can!<br />
<br />
When I create a new entry, I generally search for a related entry and copy it's formating. I've noticed that you've been standardizing my entries (thanks again) - Are there templates out there that I should be referring to, or is this all in your head?<br />
:Sadly, there are no templates as of right now, but I have been considering writing [[Infosphere:Standard formatting]] which would explain how to write any type of article. But... I guess I have been too lazy. But maybe it is about time I did something about that. "Protesting never works." "You're right... I'll give it a shot!"

== Request ==<br />
<br />
Hello, Svip. I am LAAFan on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LAAFan the English Wikipedia] I just had a failed request for adminship there, and am looking for more experience. I was wondering if I could be a sysop on the Infosphere. Here are my stats from the English Wikipedia:<br />
<br />
*I have rollback rights<br />
*I have a triple crown (Featured article, good article, and did you know)<br />
*I am currently being Admin Coached.<br />
<br />
If granted, I would help out here, ultimately for the goal of adding it to my resume for an RFA at Wikipedia. If you want proof I'm LAAFan, just ask. I hope this request can be granted.--[[User:LAAFan|LAAFan]] 20:21, 13 September 2008 (BST)<br />
:I do not doubt who you are. However, you may be in consideration for sysop if we ever were to obtain another. Though, I am not seeing the need, as of right now, and personally, we'd prefer if you actually prove yourself worthy to be a sysop. It took me the good deal of 8 months to get to the status. So, let us see what you can do, and let me discuss with the other sysops. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 20:25, 13 September 2008 (BST)<br />
::Will do. I'll start editing here when I get a chance.--[[User:LAAFan|LAAFan]] 22:20, 13 September 2008 (BST)<br />
:::I'd say we're okay at the moment too, not to mention that you just got here. Also, I flipped through the last couple of pages of contributions on 'kipedia and saw nothing related to Futurama knowledge, which is obviously a requirement of sysops here. (Futurama knowledge is required, editing it into other wikis is not.) - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 04:11, 14 September 2008 (BST)<br />
::::Whatever. It appears I'm not wanted here. Have fun.--[[User:LAAFan|LAAFan]] 22:33, 14 September 2008 (BST)<br />
:::::Well, being an active member is a requirement. And it seems you just showed up to ask to be an admin, and when denied, you took your ball and went home. Not really signs of a good admin candidate. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 00:07, 15 September 2008 (BST)<br />
::::::It seems to me, that he is more the type of "administrating" rather than applying content. That could make sense on a big wiki like Wikipedia, but ours is simply too small to have members only administrating. And if we need that, Quolnok and I are more than able and capable as it is right now. I suggest he look for a larger wiki than ours. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 00:20, 15 September 2008 (BST)<br />

I may have recalled it wrong, but if you watch the animatic for BBS, I think Farnsworth says it has been 2 years and not 4, meaning it was expected to be released in 2005 and not 2007. That's what I recall anyway.[[User:Anarchy Balsac|Anarchy Balsac]] 23:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
:I admit, that did quirk me originally. But given how work began in 2006, it would have been impossible without time travel for them to release it in 2005. In addition to that, 3007 does appear as a year in the first film, 3009 also appears in the last film. They clearly knew when they were expecting them. The 2 years ago from Farnsworth could be that the company continued to function 2 years after it was cancelled as a show, and the two years off from Fry could just be another indicator that he doesn't really remember correctly. It is odd, but I find it more likely to be purposefully rather than not. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 10:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)<br />

Sorry for using yor talk page but I tell this to you because you're one of the administrators. Help! I'm [[User:TheFry|TheFry]]! I don't know why but [[The Infosphere (website)|The Infosphere]] does not recognize my account. It does when I enter to my user page but in the rest of the pages it marks me as not logged in. Did I do something? I edited some pages some hours ago and now, I'm an "IP user". Please tell me what I have to do.<br />
:Oh, I fixed it... Oh, God... Thanks... That was odd. But now it's fixed. {{User:TheFry/sig}}<br />
<br />
== Your hostility towards a new user ==<br />
<br />
I don't know what your issue is, but just because I speak, spell and favor American English doesn't make me "some sort of jerk" as you asked while undoing an edit on a talk page that you weren't even involved in. [http://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=User_talk:75.82.24.159&action=history] [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] failed to provide a reference showing that there is an official Infosphere rule that that "does not permit the changing of correct English text", and his claim that "a large portion of our visitors prefer the other [British English] style" is biased and unfounded.<br />
<br />
Facts that can't be disputed are that ''Futurama'' is an American show; written by American writers and performed by American voice actors. It is not a British, Canadian or Australian show. Therefore it is only logical that American English be used in context to the series. Second, most of the world speaks/writes American English [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language#Geographical_distribution] with numbers of over 215 million (in the US only, this number doesn't include the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam or the US Virgin Islands) people speaking American English as a first language by far outnumbering the sum of the UK (58 mil), Canada (18 mil) and Australia (16 mil) combined. These data are empirical: they can't be disputed. Quolnok's statement is subjective, and can be disputed. Please try to realize that this doesn't make me a jerk.<br />
<br />
I have personally been to England, and am well aware of the spelling and syntax differences that exist between the dialects of American and British English. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 08:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:We have nothing against the usage of American English, however, we consider edits which only purpose is to change the English variant useless and will only result in disputes (see [http://theinfosphere.org/Infosphere:Frequently_Asked_Questions#faq-english FAQ], [[Infosphere:Manual of Style#Any English goes|Manual of Style]] and [[Infosphere:Rules#General editing rules|Rules]]).<br />
:Your argument that ''Futurama'' is an American show is perhaps... useless. It's up to the editors who contribute to the wiki to choose which English they write it and are comfortable with. And on this wiki in particular, British and Australian English are the majority. Your argument that the amount of American English speaking people should be any point to make as well is also questionable, I find it unlikely that any of these are potential audience.<br />
:So while Quolnok probably should have provided you with links (as I have), he is a Sysop, and basically what he says should be regarded as the rules of the land. So on your time this happened, we just friendly told you that such edits were discouraged and we assumed that would be the end of it, but since you continued to make the same type of edits, I assumed it was some sort of 'rebel sentiment' against rules you did not like. That is more a type of acting like a jerk than actually contribution to a decision you do not like. Good day. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 09:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
::Indeed, I did fail to point to the rule, which I probably should have. [[I:MOS#Any_English_goes|Here it is]]. It is also true that Svip might have violated [[I:R#Talk_rules]] in his response as well. But there's also an unwritten rule about not changing other peoples comments on talk pages except to remove vulgarities and such things. While it can only be seen by administrators, the Google Analytics data shows us that approximately 50% of people who visit the site are in the USA. This rule may seem odd, and it is a little. At the time it was introduced the active users discussed it, there was a slightly higher number of EN-UK preferring people, including the three active members of the administrative team (a [[User:Buddy13|US American]], an [[User:Quolnok|Australian]] and a [[User:Svip|Dane]]). This way everyone is equally unhappy. By all means, use your favoured spelling, just don't remove the others' (the only exception being the EN-AU spelling of "gaol" for "jail", only we use that and it's falling out of favour anyway). - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 09:56, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::Svip, please realize that your behavior is inappropriate and uncalled for. Due to the rude and unfriendly nature of my almost immediate experiences here, I have no wish to create an account and frequent this site as I am now left with the impression that quick assumptions and name-calling are regular occurrences here, especially in light of you being in a position of authority. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 10:51, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
::::I understand I may have been a bit over the top. But instead of just changing a Sysop's comment to an English you favour, you should have responded to his comment, even if your measure was to challenge the rule or demand pages describing the rule. Since you did not do that (and you did catch me on a particular bad day to begin with (but that is no excuse)), I felt you were treating my fellow Sysop with disrespect and that actually frustrated me.<br />
::::But you are free not to join our site if you wish. No one is forcing you in, just don't be disrespectful against a Sysop who was actually being friendly. Then you will just get someone like me who doesn't really tolerate that sort of thing. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 10:56, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::::I'm sorry to hear you had a bad day, but how does that justify name-calling? Being in a position of authority here, you should be well aware that name-calling only leads to flame wars and useless banter (such as this). <br />
<br />
:::::There are a few problems I've had with the attitudes and ideals shown to me in my short time here that I find quite disturbing. Some of the edits I made before I received Quolnok's initial message were from finding pages that included both American and British English. [[Scruffy]]'s page for example, uses both the American "color" and the British "colour". When I edited that page I was merely standardizing. After doing such on Scruffy's page and few others I received a message from Quolnok which told me that I couldn't change the spelling, only to subsequently find that Quolnok reverted the edits, effectively doing the very thing that he told me ''I'' couldn't do. The double standard was quite disturbing, especially in light of it being almost immediate. On top of that, he gave me no reference, and being a new user, how was I supposed to know that he's in a position of authority (Sysop), and not simply an Anglophile who dislikes American spellings? [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 11:21, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::::A few points;<br />
::::::# I already apologised for the name calling. And I said my bad day was no excuse as well. I was just providing a reason, not an excuse.<br />
::::::# If your edit to the Scruffy article is so, then you should have written that in the edit summary below your edits box, to describe that you were 'merely standardising' the article. In fact, you should have said so when Quolnok addressed you.<br />
::::::# There is no double standard; undoing an edit is a feature of how this wiki system works, it's to avoid things getting out of hands, as the links I provided you with would also testify, we specifically warn that such edits would indeed be reverted if not provided with a reasoning to do so. Reverting your edits was not doing what you couldn't do, but changing the article back to an earlier state.<br />
::::::# In addition, Quolnok is listed in the [[Infosphere:About]] page, which provides you with a list of the three main active Sysops.<br />
::::::Now while I don't expect new users to know all the rules, I might expect them to check out whoever they are talking to (clicking on Quolnok's user page link would also have told you he is a Sysop). But when a Sysop tells you did something wrong, don't just ignore it, respond, even if you are right in your actions; respond. Sysops are humans too, we make mistakes too. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:30, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::::::I'm not saying that I was "right" and that Quolnok was "wrong". I didn't state anything in the edits box as I was merely (from an American English standpoint) correcting spelling errors. Sure, I could of stated that I standardizing, but felt no need to do so. I naturally had no idea that this was as big of deal here as it apparently is. So seeing Quolnok undo my edits ''appeared'' to be a double-standard, which rubbed me the wrong way so I lost any initiative to look further in this site. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 11:40, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::::::Which is why your edits had no initial consequence and Quolnok wrote to you in a friendly manner. We don't expect people to know all the rules when they are new users, but when they do accidentally break them, we inform you on that. But if we didn't revert the edits, what point are the rules then? I understand not writing in the edit summary, but I fail to understand not responding to Quolnok's comment and explaining what you were doing. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:45, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />

<br />
::::::::::Then there is nothing we can do, because Quolnok was doing what he was supposed to do based on what he knew. I apologise for your initial impression, but you could have explained that further on your talk page. I assume this discussion is done, yes? --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:59, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::My point is simply that there should have been a standardized message left giving some insight toward Quolnok's authority and the history explaining the use of spelling variations (including links to the rules) that should have been originally left on my talk page. I honestly feel that would have prevented this whole misunderstanding. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 12:10, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
In closing, I'd like to say that there are nothing much we can do, as the damage is done. But I would prefer this was a lesson we could learn from, and be better at addressing new users who break this rule in the future.

== Good call ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
I am just saying, good call for not joining Wikia. If you have a look on Community Central, there is chaos due to Wikia announcing their new horrible skin. Good call for not merging with Futurama wiki. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.194.78|92.7.194.78]] 23:09, 29 September 2010 (CEST)<br />
:Well, I often speak to people who have engaged with Wikia in the past, and the universal sentiment I get is: 'Don't make the mistake we did; Don't join them'. I decided to ask on issues I was concerned about; ads, skin, control and such. And they could not say they could promise anything. In fact, almost the opposite.<br />
:Part of Wikia's problem is its philosophy. And I am not just talking about being ''for''-profit. Wikia feel that its most important user is its editors. And while I agree that editors are very important on wikis, they are not what the wikis are actually designed for; the readers. You see, Wikia is pretty good looking if you are an editor (no ads, easy buttons for editing and so on), but it looks horrendous if you are just there for reading articles, which -- they have to admit -- is sort of the point.<br />
:I understand the advantages with a merge, but in contrast they are insignificant or not important. This server is running pretty good, I should say. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 00:27, 30 September 2010 (CEST)<br />

You may remember me from the Wikia Futurama wiki but, I am happy to tell you, I have left Wikia and have been perma blocked there anyway.

Thanks you fixing my mistakes. About the grammar, I am still unsure about the correct usage. Wikipedia and the internet tend to give conflicting information.

== Produciton ==<br />
<br />
Hi, Svip. As you probably know, the year articles have this recurring typo, ''Produciton''. I was wondering if you could have your bot take care of it, 'cause, you know, I don't think anyone here feels like changing those [http://www.theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=0&search=Produciton&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&ns102=1&ns103=1&ns104=1&ns105=1&ns106=1&ns107=1&ns110=1&ns111=1 75] pages. (I've been counting them...) [[User:San Saber|San Saber]] 14:44, 19 December 2010 (CET)<br />
<br />
:Consider its usage on insignificant articles, I am going to give it a pass. Since it is largely accredited to one contributor for all those years articles, I am going to assume he too misspelt it. As such, I will probably let it slide. Besides, it is not my intend for the bot to fix spelling. That always ends in a huge mess. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 14:50, 19 December 2010 (CET)<br />

I understand that it was made on a template but it seems stupid to apply it for all these dates. I sincerely doubt that Futurama will be around in 2030 and having a section for in universe info when the show is based in the 31st century makes a lot of these pages useless.

== Formatting rules ==<br />
<br />
About a month ago I was editing [[A Leela of Her Own]] when I noticed a rule that said "The acts begin and end at commercial breaks, and they also correspond to the chapters of the DVDs." I started a discussion on the talk page because three of the acts were only two sentences long. After the discussion, the article was changed from 5 to 3 acts. Ignoring cold openings, I remember seeing a page that also had this problem. My question is, can this rule be removed, giving editors a carte-blanche to edit the page? Or does this rule still need to be upheld? [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 15:45, 4 April 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Protection ==<br />

Now that I finished the season six transcripts, I have decided to move make updates to the existing transcripts. The only real thing that these transcripts need is an minor fixes and links to newer pages. Yesterday, while I was updating the [[Transcript:Space Pilot 3000|transcript]] for Space Pilot 3000, I noticed that you protected the transcript from unregistered users but not the other transcripts. Wouldn't it make sense to protect all of them or none of them. I had a brief discussion with Sanfazer about this yesterday on his talk page if you want to hear my arguments. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 17:18, 5 April 2011 (CEST)<br />
:The reason was that an IP user edited the transcript, so I decided to protect it. Then I realised it would be too much work protecting all transcript articles.

::::No, it means the CAPTCHA is not very good. According to what I have read, the best CAPTCHA is the ones where you just ask simple questions and require the user to enter them into a box.

::::::::::: And I am of the reverse opinion, don't over-engineer this. Redirects are fine.

::::::::::::: I think it is confusing to sometimes to use a template to link and other times not use a template to link. That's confusing.

:::::::::::::::: Do you have the same problem with [[Template:Date|this template]]? Templates are supposed to make things easier. Linking shouldn't be an exception.<br />

::::::::::::::::: So you are just being pedantic? That's really not very useful in this regard. If a new user comes to our wiki, edits/creates a page where he/she links to [[Bender]]'s article, he will not know the template. So you come about, see his/her 'error', and corrects it.

:::::::::::::::::::: I disagree that it doesn't solve anything, and there's nothing to maintain. We would only be <u>reducing</u> the amount of redirects.

== A couple of things ==<br />
Hi, would you be able to change the Interwiki link for simpsonswiki from simpsonswiki.net to simpsonswiki.com please? Also, I've noticed you have a problem with account creations, most likely of spammers. We had this problem on Wikisimpsons last month. We still haven't put a full stop to it but we lessened it a lot by installing a better CAPTCHA to the account creation screen. Some spambots still get through, somehow, but we are not getting the huge amount of spam we were getting any more. (Also, any chance in me not needing to do the CAPTCHA every time I edit or is that an edit count kind of thing?) Thanks, [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar the Dragon|talk]]) 19:54, 27 November 2013 (CET)</div>Solar the Dragonhttp://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=The_Simpsons&diff=136337The Simpsons2013-11-27T18:43:44Z<p>Solar the Dragon: /* {{s|Season 25}} */</p>

'''''The Simpsons''''' is an animated television comedy created by [[Matt Groening]] and developed with {{s|James L. Brooks}} and {{s|Sam Simon}}. Originating as one-minute shorts on ''{{s|The Tracey Ullman Show}}'', it debuted as a stand-alone series on 17 December, [[1989]] and has gone on to become the longest-running American prime-time entertainment series ever. Because ''[[Futurama]]'' was also created by Groening and developed jointly with then-''Simpsons'' writer [[David X. Cohen]], it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show, and vice versa. Not to mention that owning the copyright means not having to license material. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />

| {{e|4ACV16}}||This episode is similar to ''The Simpsons'' episode {{s|22 Short Films About Springfield|"22 Short Films About Springfield" (3F18)}}, which David X Cohen co-wrote.

This is similar to when Mr. Burns exclaims "We're slightly richer", when he and the "rich side of town" discover some gold in {{s|A Tale of Two Springfields|"A Tale of Two Springfields" (BABF20)}}.|| '''''(N/A)'''''<br />

<br />
'''Slurm''', the number-one soft drink of the future, is refreshingly addictive. It is produced in a factory on the planet [[Wormulon]] by a race known only as the [[Slurm Worms]]. Their corporate mascot is [[Slurms MacKenzie]], "The Original Party Worm". However, the [[Planet Express]] crew discovered it actually comes from a [[Slurm Queen|giant worm]]'s behind.<br />
<br />
[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is a huge Slurm fan, and rarely goes more than 12 minutes without one. <br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
[[file:2851.jpg|thumb|left|225px|''Slurm'' seen on a billboard in a photo from [[2851]].]]<br />
''Slurm'' has been around at least since the [[2850s]], when it was advertised as ''Slurm Medicinal Tonic''. For many years [[Slurms MacKenzie]] was Slurm's spokesperson, until his tragic death {{et|1ACV13}}. He has since been shown advertising Slurm on a TV screen in the [[V-GINY]] {{et|6ACV02}}, but that could also have been an old video, or MacKenzie could have been replaced by a "new" MacKenzie or a clone, or possibly even a robotic MacKenzie.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
''Slurm'' has a {{w|secret recipe}} to avoid the disgusting truth - that it is the excrement of a giant [[Slurm Worms|Slurm Worm]] known as the [[Slurm Queen]]. The Slurm Queen can also produce [[Royal Slurm]], which, if eaten, turns a larval worm into a queen. This secret was discovered by the [[Planet Express]] crew in [[3000]], and the disgusting revelation lead [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] to attempt to get Slurm banned, but Fry was so addicted that he foiled the attempt {{et|1ACV13}}.<br />
<br />
=== Types of Slurm ===<br />
[[File:Slurmee.jpg|right|thumb|225px|Slurmee, one of the many types of the beverage.]]<br />
*'''Slurm:''' The soft drink which is the most common type of Slurm <br />
*'''Slurmee:''' A frozen version of Slurm similar to the Icee, Slushee and Slurpee ice drinks on [[Earth]], as well as the Squishee in [[The Simpsons]].<br />
*'''Royal Slurm:''' A purple liquid which turns people into a Slurm Queen<br />
*'''Super Slurm:''' So delicious that people cannot resist it and will drink it until they explode<br />
*'''New Slurm:''' A hypothetical beverage that would've been produced by Leela, had she been successfully transformed into a Slurm Queen by the royal slurm. Because she wasn't true worm royalty, her Slurm would have tasted awful, allowing the company to make millions by re-releasing the old flavour as 'Slurm Classic'. This concept mocks {{w|New Coke}} and the alleged conspiracy that some people believe was behind its creation.<br />
*'''Diet Slurm:''' A version of Slurm that presumably has less sugar and calrories. When mixed with Mentos it creates a geyser-like phenomenon, much like {{w|Diet Coke and Mentos eruption|this}}.<br />
*'''[[Slurm Loco]]:''' Seen on [[Bev]]'s drink buttons. Those who drink it glow green.<br />
*'''Slurm Medicinal Tonic:''' Slurm in the [[2850s]] was sold as a medicine (much like {{w|Coca-Cola}} and {{w|Pepsi}} in the late [[1800s]]).<br />

'''''The Simpsons''''' is an animated television comedy created by [[Matt Groening]] and developed with {{s|James L. Brooks}} and {{s|Sam Simon}}. Originating as one-minute shorts on ''{{s|The Tracey Ullman Show}}'', it debuted as a stand-alone series on 17 December, [[1989]] and has gone on to become the longest-running American prime-time entertainment series ever. Because ''[[Futurama]]'' was also created by Groening and developed jointly with then-''Simpsons'' writer [[David X. Cohen]], it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show, and vice versa. Not to mention that owning the copyright means not having to license material. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />

<br />
== Additional information ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*This is the first episode (in production order) of season 7 to be aired out of order, as the broadcast order of both this episode and "[[Viva Mars Vegas]]" were swapped.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*The episode's title is a reference to [[20th Century Fox]], the company that owns Futurama.<br />
*The uniforms tried on by the crew contain many references:<br />
**The first uniforms are stillsuits from the film of {{w|Dune (film)|Dune}} by {{w|Frank Herbert}}.<br />
**The red thong with suspenders is a reference to Sean Connery in the film ''{{w|Zardoz}}''.<br />
**[[Amy]] wears a Pan Am uniform from [[2001: A Space Odyssey]].<br />
**[[Fry]] wears an operations uniform from [[Star Trek]].<br />
**[[Zoidberg]] wears Storm Trooper armor from [[Star Wars]].<br />
*[[Squidward Scissorhands]] is a reference to {{w|Edward Scissorhands}}.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*The trench that the Hunts Master knocks Leela in, isn't there before or after (later on the second hunt) he knocks her in.<br />
*Leela states she's okay with a robot fox dying, but later goes to Benders antiviolence to robot animals meeting.<br />
**She could have changed her mind.<br />
*Bender says he's starving, but as a robot, its been stated he doesn't get hungry.<br />
**He's a drama queen.<br />
*Bender cuts his finger off with a knife, but he's made of metal.<br />
**He didn't necessarily cut off his finger, he could have just dislodged it from his hand, such as how his arm can disconnect from his torso.<br />
*Bender is unable to break a metal cage, but is strong enough to bend an unbendable bar?<br />
*Bender runs farther than the distance shown when the hunt catches up with him the first time.<br />
*When the horse falls on Bender the first time, it flattens him, but the second time he just keeps running, with it on his back.<br />
*It's stated the fox urinated on the floor, but its made clear by Bender in several stories that robots don't go to the bathroom.<br />
**The fox could have simply done something likened to urination.<br />
*Fry says Bender got rid of all robot animal cruelty in fifty yards of the building, but there is no farm or pier in fifty yards of planet express, as shown in overshots.<br />
**That means Bender didn't really do anything noteworthy and they were really just trying to get him to bring everything to a close.<br />

<br />
'''''The Simpsons''''' is an animated television comedy created by [[Matt Groening]] and developed with {{s|James L. Brooks}} and {{s|Sam Simon}}. Originating as one-minute shorts on ''{{w|The Tracey Ullman Show}}'', it debuted as a stand-alone series on 17 December, [[1989]] and has gone on to become the longest-running American prime-time entertainment series ever. Because ''[[Futurama]]'' was also created by Groening and developed jointly with then-''Simpsons'' writer [[David X. Cohen]], it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show, and vice versa. Not to mention that owning the copyright means not having to license material. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />
<br />

'''''The Simpsons''''' is an animated television comedy created by [[Matt Groening]] and developed with {{s|James L. Brooks}} and {{s|Sam Simon}}. Originating as one-minute shorts on ''{{w|The Tracey Ullman Show}}'', it debuted as a stand-alone series on 17 December, [[1989]] and has gone on to become the longest-running American prime-time entertainment series ever. Because ''[[Futurama]]'' was also created by Groening and developed jointly with then-''Simpsons'' writer [[David X. Cohen]], it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show, and vice versa. Not to mention that owning the copyright means not having to license material. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />

'''''The Simpsons''''' is an animated television comedy created by [[Matt Groening]] and developed with {{s|James L. Brooks}} and {{s|Sam Simon}}. Originating as one-minute shorts on ''{{w|The Tracey Ullman Show}}'', it debuted as a stand-alone series on 17 December, [[1989]] and has gone on to become the longest-running American prime-time entertainment series ever. Because ''[[Futurama]]'' was also created by Groening and developed jointly with then-''Simpsons'' writer [[David X. Cohen]], it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show, and vice versa. Not to mention that owning the copyright means not having to license material. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />

'''''The Simpsons''''' is an animated television comedy created by [[Matt Groening]] and developed with {{s|James L. Brooks}} and {{s|Sam Simon}}. Originating as one-minute shorts on ''{{w|The Tracey Ullman Show}}'', it debuted as a stand-alone series on 17 December, [[1989]] and has gone on to become the longest-running American prime-time entertainment series ever. Because ''[[Futurama]]'' was also created by Groening and developed jointly with then-''Simpsons'' writer [[David X. Cohen]], it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show, and vice versa. Not to mention that owning the copyright means not having to license material. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />

| {{e|4ACV14}}||The scene where Bender sees the cymbal banging monkey after waking up is the same one from {{s|The Computer Wore Menace Shoes|"The Computer Wore Menace Shoes" (CABF02)}} where Homer, after waking up from the drugs sees the monkey. Also, [[Cartridge Unit]] says WHAT?! and then sticks in the same tape and says WHAT?!

|{{f|1}}||When in Egypt, Bender says "Scarab forearm bird bird bird!", which, when translated to heiroglyphs, means "kheper d", then a, w, o, or m three times. In short, nothing. But, this is also the same version of the Egyptian used by Pharaoh Skinner in {{s|Simpsons Bible Stories|"Simpsons Bible Stories" (AABF14)}}.

Another good reference is that Leela has to wear a shock collar. {{s|Nelson Muntz}} was forced to wear one in the Simpsons episode {{s|Brother's Little Helper|"Brother's Little Helper" (AABF22)}} and the collar also triggers when Nelson thinks about violence or sexual pleasure, like Leela's collar.|| '''''(N/A)'''''<br />

'''''The Simpsons''''' is an animated television comedy created by [[Matt Groening]] and developed with {{s|James L. Brooks}} and {{s|Sam Simon}}. Originating as one-minute shorts on ''{{w|The Tracey Ullman Show}}'', it debuted as a stand-alone series on 17 December, [[1989]] and has gone on to become the longest-running American prime-time entertainment series ever. Because ''[[Futurama]]'' was also created by Groening and developed jointly with then-''Simpsons'' writer [[David X. Cohen]], it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show, and vice versa. Not to mention that owning the copyright means not having to license material. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />

<div>==[[Globetrotters]]==<br />
<br />
I'm sorry. Though I still believe that the Globetrotters are not humans, I accept the only evidence that exists, which is the mention you brought up. I apologize again for my baseless insistence. [[User:ProfessorBlank|ProfessorBlank]] 20:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Don't worry. But I do write summaries to my edits for a reason. But I remember listening to the commentary and they did define them as humans, who had at one point in time simply gone off to their own planet for some reason.<br />
:Infosphere considers the commentaries [[canon]] unless they are actually wrong (e.g. calling the whale seen in "[[Leela's Homeworld]]" [[Mushu]], which cannot be possible as Mushu is an episode that occurs later than the events of "Leela's Homeworld").<br />
:Oh and, thanks for your contributions. :) --[[User:Svip|Svip]]<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
One more thing: those anonymous edits were me forgetting to sign in. [[User:ProfessorBlank|ProfessorBlank]] 20:51, 8 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Perhaps our warning on that note should be bigger and more eye catchy! --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 21:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Vandalism and css ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on your first edit as a registered user. Also, the screenshot of your CSS is looking awesome. I've been wanting to update the look around here, so keep up the good work and we just might use it! &rarr; {{User:Buddy13/sig}} 11:00, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
:Oh, and do you know how to upgrade the wiki? Have you ever worked with Dreamhost-based wikis? I can do the actual upgrade, but the script-running part eludes me. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 11:05, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
:: Yes yes, I have all my wikis on Dreamhost systems. And yes, I have been modifying them. I'd gladly help. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 11:38, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
::: Also, I added you to MSN, so we might talk. :o --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 11:40, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
::::I don't have internet at home, so I almost never sign on to MSN anymore. But one of these days when I have a day off (maybe saturday or sunday), I'll do that and we can go over it and finally upgrade the Infosphere. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 11:44, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
:Certainly a good start. Not sure that the page title should be blue highlighted though. Near Death Star probably shouldn't really be the logo. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 22:14, 8 March 2007 (PST)<br />
::Yes the logo should be changed to the Infosphere but I like it - [[User:Humorbot 0.4|Humorbot 0.4]] 00:10, 9 March 2007 (PST)<br />
:::In that case, it would be nice if someone could send me a picture of it cut out, with the background being transparent (e.g. png) and not white. It took me long enough cutting the Near Death Star out, though I thought the references to Wookiepedia was funny. :< --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 04:31, 9 March 2007 (PST)<br />
<br />
Yeah, that's a great skin you got there. Hopefully the new Futurama-wiki skin sometime in a near future...ama! But I have to ask... what is the program you are using on the example for your Futurama-wiki skin? --IsakBQ 06:59, 9 March 2007 (PST)<br />
:I am using Firefox with the Web developer toolbar, which allows you to edit any site's HTML, CSS, everything. The screenshot was taken with the Linux command ''import''. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 07:10, 9 March 2007 (PST)<br />
<br />
== In response to "Good greif! What version of MediaWiki is this?" ==<br />
<br />
[[Special:Version]] - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 17:53, 23 March 2007 (PDT)<br />
: Then why can't I split up templates with new lines? I can do that on my own wikis and on Wikipedia. And a lot of other wikis.<br />
: See the ''[[Template:Character infobox]] (usage)'' I made for what I mean it was suppose to look, but if you check the source of my user page, I must do it on one line. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 18:08, 23 March 2007 (PDT)<br />
::Hmm, that IS odd; if we do start using infobox templates on most articles we should really figure out what's causing the difference, like you I've never seen a MediaWiki setup that DIDN'T allow the much more readable multi-line format for templates. Must be something Buddy has specifically configured, I think, since MediaWiki supports this out-of-the-box, with a default configuration... [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 09:44, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
:::Don't look at me. I think it's just the older, un-updated version we've got going here. I think I might be able to upgrade eventually, though. Sorry for the suckage. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 10:45, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
::::It's all good man, not everybody's a code monkey :) You really might want to concider giving server access to one of the active contributors who's more knowledgable about web programming, php/java etc, though, then you could just direct our requests and comments to them and go back to work :) [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 10:49, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
:::::The saddest part about all this is that&mdash;depending on your definition&mdash;, I <em>am</em> a codemonkey of sorts. I am fluent in the latest XHTML, CSS, and SVG, yet scripting has always escaped me. I'm finally learning JS, but it's a very slow process. I'll probably never learn PHP or anything that advanced. And as for server access... They'd have to earn a pretty high level of trust before I'd be handing out access to the files that run this place. It's a scary thought, the things people could do with that access. P.S., how's <em>your</em> knowledge of such things?</em> --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 10:56, 19 April 2007 (PDT)<br />

Hello, Svip. I am LAAFan on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LAAFan the English Wikipedia] I just had a failed request for adminship there, and am looking for more experience. I was wondering if I could be a sysop on the Infosphere. Here are my stats from the English Wikipedia:<br />
<br />
*I have rollback rights<br />
*I have a triple crown (Featured article, good article, and did you know)<br />
*I am currently being Admin Coached.<br />

:I do not doubt who you are. However, you may be in consideration for sysop if we ever were to obtain another. Though, I am not seeing the need, as of right now, and personally, we'd prefer if you actually prove yourself worthy to be a sysop. It took me the good deal of 8 months to get to the status.

I may have recalled it wrong, but if you watch the animatic for BBS, I think Farnsworth says it has been 2 years and not 4, meaning it was expected to be released in 2005 and not 2007. That's what I recall anyway.[[User:Anarchy Balsac|Anarchy Balsac]] 23:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
:I admit, that did quirk me originally. But given how work began in 2006, it would have been impossible without time travel for them to release it in 2005. In addition to that, 3007 does appear as a year in the first film, 3009 also appears in the last film. They clearly knew when they were expecting them. The 2 years ago from Farnsworth could be that the company continued to function 2 years after it was cancelled as a show, and the two years off from Fry could just be another indicator that he doesn't really remember correctly. It is odd, but I find it more likely to be purposefully rather than not. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 10:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Your hostility towards a new user ==<br />
<br />
I don't know what your issue is, but just because I speak, spell and favor American English doesn't make me "some sort of jerk" as you asked while undoing an edit on a talk page that you weren't even involved in. [http://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=User_talk:75.82.24.159&action=history] [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] failed to provide a reference showing that there is an official Infosphere rule that that "does not permit the changing of correct English text", and his claim that "a large portion of our visitors prefer the other [British English] style" is biased and unfounded.<br />
<br />
Facts that can't be disputed are that ''Futurama'' is an American show; written by American writers and performed by American voice actors. It is not a British, Canadian or Australian show. Therefore it is only logical that American English be used in context to the series. Second, most of the world speaks/writes American English [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language#Geographical_distribution] with numbers of over 215 million (in the US only, this number doesn't include the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam or the US Virgin Islands) people speaking American English as a first language by far outnumbering the sum of the UK (58 mil), Canada (18 mil) and Australia (16 mil) combined. These data are empirical: they can't be disputed. Quolnok's statement is subjective, and can be disputed. Please try to realize that this doesn't make me a jerk.<br />
<br />
I have personally been to England, and am well aware of the spelling and syntax differences that exist between the dialects of American and British English. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 08:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:We have nothing against the usage of American English, however, we consider edits which only purpose is to change the English variant useless and will only result in disputes (see [http://theinfosphere.org/Infosphere:Frequently_Asked_Questions#faq-english FAQ], [[Infosphere:Manual of Style#Any English goes|Manual of Style]] and [[Infosphere:Rules#General editing rules|Rules]]).<br />
:Your argument that ''Futurama'' is an American show is perhaps... useless. It's up to the editors who contribute to the wiki to choose which English they write it and are comfortable with. And on this wiki in particular, British and Australian English are the majority. Your argument that the amount of American English speaking people should be any point to make as well is also questionable, I find it unlikely that any of these are potential audience.<br />
:So while Quolnok probably should have provided you with links (as I have), he is a Sysop, and basically what he says should be regarded as the rules of the land. So on your time this happened, we just friendly told you that such edits were discouraged and we assumed that would be the end of it, but since you continued to make the same type of edits, I assumed it was some sort of 'rebel sentiment' against rules you did not like. That is more a type of acting like a jerk than actually contribution to a decision you do not like. Good day. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 09:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
::Indeed, I did fail to point to the rule, which I probably should have. [[I:MOS#Any_English_goes|Here it is]]. It is also true that Svip might have violated [[I:R#Talk_rules]] in his response as well. But there's also an unwritten rule about not changing other peoples comments on talk pages except to remove vulgarities and such things. While it can only be seen by administrators, the Google Analytics data shows us that approximately 50% of people who visit the site are in the USA. This rule may seem odd, and it is a little. At the time it was introduced the active users discussed it, there was a slightly higher number of EN-UK preferring people, including the three active members of the administrative team (a [[User:Buddy13|US American]], an [[User:Quolnok|Australian]] and a [[User:Svip|Dane]]). This way everyone is equally unhappy. By all means, use your favoured spelling, just don't remove the others' (the only exception being the EN-AU spelling of "gaol" for "jail", only we use that and it's falling out of favour anyway). - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 09:56, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::Svip, please realize that your behavior is inappropriate and uncalled for. Due to the rude and unfriendly nature of my almost immediate experiences here, I have no wish to create an account and frequent this site as I am now left with the impression that quick assumptions and name-calling are regular occurrences here, especially in light of you being in a position of authority. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 10:51, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
::::I understand I may have been a bit over the top. But instead of just changing a Sysop's comment to an English you favour, you should have responded to his comment, even if your measure was to challenge the rule or demand pages describing the rule. Since you did not do that (and you did catch me on a particular bad day to begin with (but that is no excuse)), I felt you were treating my fellow Sysop with disrespect and that actually frustrated me.<br />
::::But you are free not to join our site if you wish. No one is forcing you in, just don't be disrespectful against a Sysop who was actually being friendly.

:::::I'm sorry to hear you had a bad day, but how does that justify name-calling? Being in a position of authority here, you should be well aware that name-calling only leads to flame wars and useless banter (such as this). <br />
<br />
:::::There are a few problems I've had with the attitudes and ideals shown to me in my short time here that I find quite disturbing. Some of the edits I made before I received Quolnok's initial message were from finding pages that included both American and British English. [[Scruffy]]'s page for example, uses both the American "color" and the British "colour". When I edited that page I was merely standardizing. After doing such on Scruffy's page and few others I received a message from Quolnok which told me that I couldn't change the spelling, only to subsequently find that Quolnok reverted the edits, effectively doing the very thing that he told me ''I'' couldn't do. The double standard was quite disturbing, especially in light of it being almost immediate. On top of that, he gave me no reference, and being a new user, how was I supposed to know that he's in a position of authority (Sysop), and not simply an Anglophile who dislikes American spellings? [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 11:21, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::::A few points;<br />
::::::# I already apologised for the name calling. And I said my bad day was no excuse as well. I was just providing a reason, not an excuse.<br />
::::::# If your edit to the Scruffy article is so, then you should have written that in the edit summary below your edits box, to describe that you were 'merely standardising' the article. In fact, you should have said so when Quolnok addressed you.<br />
::::::# There is no double standard; undoing an edit is a feature of how this wiki system works, it's to avoid things getting out of hands, as the links I provided you with would also testify, we specifically warn that such edits would indeed be reverted if not provided with a reasoning to do so. Reverting your edits was not doing what you couldn't do, but changing the article back to an earlier state.<br />
::::::# In addition, Quolnok is listed in the [[Infosphere:About]] page, which provides you with a list of the three main active Sysops.<br />
::::::Now while I don't expect new users to know all the rules, I might expect them to check out whoever they are talking to (clicking on Quolnok's user page link would also have told you he is a Sysop). But when a Sysop tells you did something wrong, don't just ignore it, respond, even if you are right in your actions; respond. Sysops are humans too, we make mistakes too. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:30, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::::::I'm not saying that I was "right" and that Quolnok was "wrong". I didn't state anything in the edits box as I was merely (from an American English standpoint) correcting spelling errors. Sure, I could of stated that I standardizing, but felt no need to do so. I naturally had no idea that this was as big of deal here as it apparently is. So seeing Quolnok undo my edits ''appeared'' to be a double-standard, which rubbed me the wrong way so I lost any initiative to look further in this site. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 11:40, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::::::Which is why your edits had no initial consequence and Quolnok wrote to you in a friendly manner. We don't expect people to know all the rules when they are new users, but when they do accidentally break them, we inform you on that. But if we didn't revert the edits, what point are the rules then? I understand not writing in the edit summary, but I fail to understand not responding to Quolnok's comment and explaining what you were doing. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:45, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />

<br />
::::::::::Then there is nothing we can do, because Quolnok was doing what he was supposed to do based on what he knew.

:::::::::::My point is simply that there should have been a standardized message left giving some insight toward Quolnok's authority and the history explaining the use of spelling variations (including links to the rules) that should have been originally left on my talk page.

== Good call ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
I am just saying, good call for not joining Wikia. If you have a look on Community Central, there is chaos due to Wikia announcing their new horrible skin. Good call for not merging with Futurama wiki. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.194.78|92.7.194.78]] 23:09, 29 September 2010 (CEST)<br />
:Well, I often speak to people who have engaged with Wikia in the past, and the universal sentiment I get is: 'Don't make the mistake we did; Don't join them'. I decided to ask on issues I was concerned about; ads, skin, control and such. And they could not say they could promise anything. In fact, almost the opposite.<br />
:Part of Wikia's problem is its philosophy. And I am not just talking about being ''for''-profit. Wikia feel that its most important user is its editors. And while I agree that editors are very important on wikis, they are not what the wikis are actually designed for; the readers. You see, Wikia is pretty good looking if you are an editor (no ads, easy buttons for editing and so on), but it looks horrendous if you are just there for reading articles, which -- they have to admit -- is sort of the point.<br />
:I understand the advantages with a merge, but in contrast they are insignificant or not important. This server is running pretty good, I should say. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 00:27, 30 September 2010 (CEST)<br />

Hi,<br />
You may remember me from the Wikia Futurama wiki but, I am happy to tell you, I have left Wikia and have been perma blocked there anyway. We are currently in the process of moving the Wikisimpsons from Wikia to ShoutWiki (in which the staff at ShoutWiki will be doing all for us). You may be wondering why I am telling you this. We have many links to the Wikia Futurama wiki due to the shows being closely related. I was just wondering whether if we were to link here instead of Wikia, would you do the same for us?<br />
<br />
If we could even become closer than that and become an affiliate of you, we would be grateful. At the moment, we are in the queue to be moved to ShoutWiki but, if you reply, I will tell you when the content has been moved over. <br />
<br />

Thanks you fixing my mistakes. About the grammar, I am still unsure about the correct usage. Wikipedia and the internet tend to give conflicting information. The manual of style didn't have anything on the issue either. But if that's what the wiki is going with. Just looking for some continuity.<br />
:Generally speaking, you avoid an additional s if the word already ends on an s. For instance, how do you pluralise 'class', you don't just add an extra s, because it is a special case.<br />

== Produciton ==<br />
<br />
Hi, Svip. As you probably know, the year articles have this recurring typo, ''Produciton''. I was wondering if you could have your bot take care of it, 'cause, you know, I don't think anyone here feels like changing those [http://www.theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=0&search=Produciton&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&ns102=1&ns103=1&ns104=1&ns105=1&ns106=1&ns107=1&ns110=1&ns111=1 75] pages. (I've been counting them...) [[User:San Saber|San Saber]] 14:44, 19 December 2010 (CET)<br />
<br />
:Consider its usage on insignificant articles, I am going to give it a pass. Since it is largely accredited to one contributor for all those years articles, I am going to assume he too misspelt it. As such, I will probably let it slide. Besides, it is not my intend for the bot to fix spelling. That always ends in a huge mess. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 14:50, 19 December 2010 (CET)<br />

I understand that it was made on a template but it seems stupid to apply it for all these dates. I sincerely doubt that Futurama will be around in 2030 and having a section for in universe info when the show is based in the 31st century makes a lot of these pages useless.

== Formatting rules ==<br />
<br />
About a month ago I was editing [[A Leela of Her Own]] when I noticed a rule that said "The acts begin and end at commercial breaks, and they also correspond to the chapters of the DVDs." I started a discussion on the talk page because three of the acts were only two sentences long. After the discussion, the article was changed from 5 to 3 acts. Ignoring cold openings, I remember seeing a page that also had this problem. My question is, can this rule be removed, giving editors a carte-blanche to edit the page? Or does this rule still need to be upheld? [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 15:45, 4 April 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Usually the story can be longer rather than just a few sentences per act. But sometimes you'll have to accept the short acts, I guess. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 16:44, 4 April 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Protection ==<br />
<br />
Now that I finished the season six transcripts, I have decided to move make updates to the existing transcripts. The only real thing that these transcripts need is an minor fixes and links to newer pages. Yesterday, while I was updating the [[Transcript:Space Pilot 3000|transcript]] for Space Pilot 3000, I noticed that you protected the transcript from unregistered users but not the other transcripts. Wouldn't it make sense to protect all of them or none of them. I had a brief discussion with Sanfazer about this yesterday on his talk page if you want to hear my arguments. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 17:18, 5 April 2011 (CEST)<br />
:The reason was that an IP user edited the transcript, so I decided to protect it. Then I realised it would be too much work protecting all transcript articles. Fortunately, MediaWiki allows you to protect a namespace which is defined by the 'edittranscripts' user right. See [[Special:ListGroupRights]] under 'autoconfirmed'. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 17:23, 5 April 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Spam ==<br />
<br />
Maybe it's my paranoia, but we seem to be having a spam issue developing. Worse, they are creating user pages for their spam, so the bot ignores them. Any ideas about how to handle this? [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 12:23, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Yes, but I am at work right now. So I can first look into it later. Unfortunately. Other SysOps should be handling it manually... for now. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 12:25, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::What about creating a CAPTCHA requirement for registering? [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:34, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::I'm actually surprised that there isn't one. Seems logical considering why the first CAPTCHA was put in. It's just that I'm not sure how much that will do. Don't user pages already have to go through a CAPTCHA before creation? That means that these spammers are human. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 12:38, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Hm, I didn't know that. In such case, there is not much to be done except spending more time on deleting spam and banning spammers... or starting to pay us admins so we have more time to spend on the Infosphere. :D [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:58, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::No, it means the CAPTCHA is not very good. According to what I have read, the best CAPTCHA is the ones where you just ask simple questions and require the user to enter them into a box. This requires spammers to either write specific bots for this website and/or parse human language. The former seems a waste of their time and the latter have yet to be accomplished.

== Discussion ==<br />
<br />
The administrator of WikiSimpsons have [[User talk:Svip#Wikisimpsons and the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance|asked]] whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] but for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms Animated Sitcoms]. There are a lot we need to work out though.<br />
<br />
*Will it only be for independent wikis?<br />
*What will be the requirements for joining?<br />
*We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?<br />
<br />
A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.205.39|92.7.205.39]] 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Speaking in the position as a user, not an administrator: As I understand the offer, nothing will change except that we will officially be a part of a larger group, and be linked to from this ''Animated Sitcoms'' website, but The Infosphere in itself will not have to change style, commercial attitude or anything like that?<br />
:I can say right now that I will not be able to take great part in this overall project, nor will I be able to start contributing to some other wiki (I focus on Wikipedia and the Infosphere atm), but if I understand the project properly, I don't mind it. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:51, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Sounds to me as if no harm will come from this, unless the alliance goes rogue or something. I barely wiki things these days, so I'm unlikely to venture into the other wikis in the group. But so long as none of them are Futurama centric, I can see this being beneficial. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:39, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::While I don't think it would harm us, it may draw in new users. I'm unsure about joining until we learn more about this alliance. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 13:47, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
To answer your questions, there will be no other Futurama wikis in the alliance. All other Futurama wikis that want to join will have to ask for a merger with you guys and from there, it'll be down to you guys. Part of this discussion is to find out more about what people want. It'll be set out something like NIWA, with representatives from each wiki being admins on the central forum we will have. Links to other wikis will be on the hub page, as well as on the member wikis, links to the other wikis on articles where needed. Basically, it will be becoming part of a larger (hopefully) group of wikis. The representatives of the wikis can decide on whether a new member should join or not etc. So far, there are only two wikis I have an eye on (Wikisimpsons and The Infosphere) so if any one knows of any other non-Wikia wikis that fit under the Animated Sitcom description, please list them here so I can pass this idea on to them. [[Special:Contributions/92.24.142.236|92.24.142.236]] 23:15, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Drawing in new users is a good thing. (Drawing in [[User talk:Svip#Spam|spammers]] is a completely different matter, however...)<br />
:Can't think of any, sorry.<br />
:Why ''should'' it only be for independent wikis? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 00:46, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::That is how NIWA operates. I also would prefer no Wikia wikis, we can persuade them to move away instead. [[Special:Contributions/92.29.186.76|92.29.186.76]] 07:27, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::I understand. But what if a wiki on ShoutWiki wants to join? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 16:32, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Well, I think that wikis on any wiki host other than Wikia (I just really hate Wikia) then they should join. If a ShoutWiki wiki wants to join then they'll be free to join (I am quite biased towards ShoutWiki though, even though Wikisimpsons is moving from ShoutWiki, I am an admin on the hub and a trusted member and the staff like me :P) and I am even working on a Bob's Burgers Wiki while another user of Wikisimpsons is working on an American Dad wiki. Just no Wikia I think. If any one else would like to have Wikia wikis, we'd need a vote. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.182.244|92.7.182.244]] 17:00, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::So we're the [[UN]]. Sounds good to me. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 17:30, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm with pretty much everyone else. This sounds like a great idea. More traffic, cross-linking, and basically an exclusivity contract. And no Wikia! (because the word itself still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth after our early dealings with them (hint: stolen content!)) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 08:32, 28 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:When I took over Futurama Wiki, I made a point not to steal content from here. However, I now 100% hate Wikia and I want to destroy them. If others also seem to dislike the idea of Wikia wikis joining, then no Wikia wikis will join.<br />
:If everyone seems to like the idea, we would need someone to host a hub site similar to NIWA. Alternatively, we could make a wiki hub and get editing limited to admins who would the the hub staff and a forum on it too (ShoutWiki has got a new WikiForum extension). This would be the alternative if no one can host and design a site. [[Special:Contributions/92.20.137.92|92.20.137.92]] 20:49, 29 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

Hey, I'm Will k! And, if anything, I'm Solar the Dragon's business associate on the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance (we're both heading it). I'm also the same person he was talking about working on Bob's Burgers and American Dad!, although the latter I'm not particularly doing much. Although I'm sure we'd all love for it to be an independent alliance, there's always the issue with money, so it may just be a normal wiki alliance, and as for the concern of more than one wiki on the same topic, agreed with Solar, there will only ever be one on a topic, and it '''WILL NOT''' be replaced, I do not think, unless under extreme circumstances.

The administrator of WikiSimpsons have [[User talk:Svip#Wikisimpsons and the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance|asked]] whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] but for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms Animated Sitcoms]. There are a lot we need to work out though.<br />
<br />
*Will it only be for independent wikis?<br />
*What will be the requirements for joining?<br />
*We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?<br />
<br />
A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.205.39|92.7.205.39]] 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Speaking in the position as a user, not an administrator: As I understand the offer, nothing will change except that we will officially be a part of a larger group, and be linked to from this ''Animated Sitcoms'' website, but The Infosphere in itself will not have to change style, commercial attitude or anything like that?<br />
:I can say right now that I will not be able to take great part in this overall project, nor will I be able to start contributing to some other wiki (I focus on Wikipedia and the Infosphere atm), but if I understand the project properly, I don't mind it. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:51, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Sounds to me as if no harm will come from this, unless the alliance goes rogue or something. I barely wiki things these days, so I'm unlikely to venture into the other wikis in the group. But so long as none of them are Futurama centric, I can see this being beneficial. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:39, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::While I don't think it would harm us, it may draw in new users. I'm unsure about joining until we learn more about this alliance. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 13:47, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
To answer your questions, there will be no other Futurama wikis in the alliance. All other Futurama wikis that want to join will have to ask for a merger with you guys and from there, it'll be down to you guys. Part of this discussion is to find out more about what people want. It'll be set out something like NIWA, with representatives from each wiki being admins on the central forum we will have. Links to other wikis will be on the hub page, as well as on the member wikis, links to the other wikis on articles where needed. Basically, it will be becoming part of a larger (hopefully) group of wikis. The representatives of the wikis can decide on whether a new member should join or not etc. So far, there are only two wikis I have an eye on (Wikisimpsons and The Infosphere) so if any one knows of any other non-Wikia wikis that fit under the Animated Sitcom description, please list them here so I can pass this idea on to them. [[Special:Contributions/92.24.142.236|92.24.142.236]] 23:15, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Drawing in new users is a good thing. (Drawing in [[User talk:Svip#Spam|spammers]] is a completely different matter, however...)<br />
:Can't think of any, sorry.<br />
:Why ''should'' it only be for independent wikis? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 00:46, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::That is how NIWA operates. I also would prefer no Wikia wikis, we can persuade them to move away instead. [[Special:Contributions/92.29.186.76|92.29.186.76]] 07:27, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::I understand. But what if a wiki on ShoutWiki wants to join? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 16:32, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Well, I think that wikis on any wiki host other than Wikia (I just really hate Wikia) then they should join. If a ShoutWiki wiki wants to join then they'll be free to join (I am quite biased towards ShoutWiki though, even though Wikisimpsons is moving from ShoutWiki, I am an admin on the hub and a trusted member and the staff like me :P) and I am even working on a Bob's Burgers Wiki while another user of Wikisimpsons is working on an American Dad wiki. Just no Wikia I think. If any one else would like to have Wikia wikis, we'd need a vote. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.182.244|92.7.182.244]] 17:00, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::So we're the [[UN]]. Sounds good to me. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 17:30, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm with pretty much everyone else. This sounds like a great idea. More traffic, cross-linking, and basically an exclusivity contract. And no Wikia! (because the word itself still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth after our early dealings with them (hint: stolen content!)) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 08:32, 28 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:When I took over Futurama Wiki, I made a point not to steal content from here. However, I now 100% hate Wikia and I want to destroy them. If others also seem to dislike the idea of Wikia wikis joining, then no Wikia wikis will join.<br />
:If everyone seems to like the idea, we would need someone to host a hub site similar to NIWA. Alternatively, we could make a wiki hub and get editing limited to admins who would the the hub staff and a forum on it too (ShoutWiki has got a new WikiForum extension). This would be the alternative if no one can host and design a site. [[Special:Contributions/92.20.137.92|92.20.137.92]] 20:49, 29 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

Hey, I'm Will k! And, if anything, I'm Solar the Dragon's business associate on the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance (we're both heading it). I'm also the same person he was talking about working on Bob's Burgers and American Dad!, although the latter I'm not particularly doing much. Although I'm sure we'd all love for it to be an independent alliance, there's always the issue with money, so it may just be a normal wiki alliance, and as for the concern of more than one wiki on the same topic, agreed with Solar, there will only ever be one on a topic, and it '''WILL NOT''' be replaced, I do not think, unless under extreme circumstances.

I think all Infosphericans agree that nothing bad can come from this, only good publicity, and so we agree that we're on it. At least that's my impression.

<br />
The administrator of WikiSimpsons have [[User talk:Svip#Wikisimpsons and the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance|asked]] whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] but for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms Animated Sitcoms]. There are a lot we need to work out though.<br />
<br />
*Will it only be for independent wikis?<br />
*What will be the requirements for joining?<br />
*We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?<br />
<br />
A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.205.39|92.7.205.39]] 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Speaking in the position as a user, not an administrator: As I understand the offer, nothing will change except that we will officially be a part of a larger group, and be linked to from this ''Animated Sitcoms'' website, but The Infosphere in itself will not have to change style, commercial attitude or anything like that?<br />
:I can say right now that I will not be able to take great part in this overall project, nor will I be able to start contributing to some other wiki (I focus on Wikipedia and the Infosphere atm), but if I understand the project properly, I don't mind it. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:51, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Sounds to me as if no harm will come from this, unless the alliance goes rogue or something. I barely wiki things these days, so I'm unlikely to venture into the other wikis in the group. But so long as none of them are Futurama centric, I can see this being beneficial. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:39, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::While I don't think it would harm us, it may draw in new users. I'm unsure about joining until we learn more about this alliance. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 13:47, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
To answer your questions, there will be no other Futurama wikis in the alliance. All other Futurama wikis that want to join will have to ask for a merger with you guys and from there, it'll be down to you guys. Part of this discussion is to find out more about what people want. It'll be set out something like NIWA, with representatives from each wiki being admins on the central forum we will have. Links to other wikis will be on the hub page, as well as on the member wikis, links to the other wikis on articles where needed. Basically, it will be becoming part of a larger (hopefully) group of wikis. The representatives of the wikis can decide on whether a new member should join or not etc. So far, there are only two wikis I have an eye on (Wikisimpsons and The Infosphere) so if any one knows of any other non-Wikia wikis that fit under the Animated Sitcom description, please list them here so I can pass this idea on to them. [[Special:Contributions/92.24.142.236|92.24.142.236]] 23:15, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Drawing in new users is a good thing. (Drawing in [[User talk:Svip#Spam|spammers]] is a completely different matter, however...)<br />
:Can't think of any, sorry.<br />
:Why ''should'' it only be for independent wikis? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 00:46, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::That is how NIWA operates. I also would prefer no Wikia wikis, we can persuade them to move away instead. [[Special:Contributions/92.29.186.76|92.29.186.76]] 07:27, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::I understand. But what if a wiki on ShoutWiki wants to join? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 16:32, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Well, I think that wikis on any wiki host other than Wikia (I just really hate Wikia) then they should join. If a ShoutWiki wiki wants to join then they'll be free to join (I am quite biased towards ShoutWiki though, even though Wikisimpsons is moving from ShoutWiki, I am an admin on the hub and a trusted member and the staff like me :P) and I am even working on a Bob's Burgers Wiki while another user of Wikisimpsons is working on an American Dad wiki. Just no Wikia I think. If any one else would like to have Wikia wikis, we'd need a vote. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.182.244|92.7.182.244]] 17:00, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::So we're the [[UN]]. Sounds good to me. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 17:30, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm with pretty much everyone else. This sounds like a great idea. More traffic, cross-linking, and basically an exclusivity contract. And no Wikia! (because the word itself still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth after our early dealings with them (hint: stolen content!)) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 08:32, 28 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:When I took over Futurama Wiki, I made a point not to steal content from here. However, I now 100% hate Wikia and I want to destroy them. If others also seem to dislike the idea of Wikia wikis joining, then no Wikia wikis will join.<br />
:If everyone seems to like the idea, we would need someone to host a hub site similar to NIWA. Alternatively, we could make a wiki hub and get editing limited to admins who would the the hub staff and a forum on it too (ShoutWiki has got a new WikiForum extension). This would be the alternative if no one can host and design a site. [[Special:Contributions/92.20.137.92|92.20.137.92]] 20:49, 29 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

Hey, I'm Will k! And, if anything, I'm Solar the Dragon's business associate on the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance (we're both heading it). I'm also the same person he was talking about working on Bob's Burgers and American Dad!, although the latter I'm not particularly doing much. Although I'm sure we'd all love for it to be an independent alliance, there's always the issue with money, so it may just be a normal wiki alliance, and as for the concern of more than one wiki on the same topic, agreed with Solar, there will only ever be one on a topic, and it '''WILL NOT''' be replaced, I do not think, unless under extreme circumstances.

I think all Infosphericans agree that nothing bad can come from this, only good publicity, and so we agree that we're on it. At least that's my impression.

I think that the only members should be INDEPENDENT wikis of the Animation Domination sitcoms. This means no Shoutwiki or Wikia tied ones. The shows that I think should also be part of the alliance the Adult Swim ones (I know VGod, the Devil and Bob was acquired, but still) and the Comedy Central ones. I don't feel that Cartoon Network ones like Johnny Bravo and 6teen would really be comfortable. Those are more kids-geared, while the ones I want to include are late teen and adult-geared--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 23:27, 17 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

This may not directly concern you guys but thought it may be worth a mention. The Futurama Wikia is going to be shown to Fox apparently, according to a new staff member who foolishly left me a message (and his email address). If it is shown to Fox, I have no idea what will happen except it might become Fox's official Futurama wiki or something.<br />
<br />
This is the message:<br />
<br />
Hello Solar Dragon,<br />
<br />
<br />
My name is Adam Blumenfeld and I am Wikia's Entertainment Category Manager. I wanted to reach out and introduce myself, and formally congratulate you on the incredible work you've done on the Futurama wiki! In fact, this page is so great, I am designating it as one of our company's focus wikis for 2011. I'll explain a bit more about what that entails:<br />
<br />
Wikia has been hard at work creating exciting new features for our site--interactive quizzes, live chat and, most recently, video feeds. We've partnered with Hulu to bring clips/full episodes of certain shows to Wikia...and with your permission we'd like to enable this feature on the Futurama wiki! Essentially, we'll be adding a video drop-down menu at the top of your page that links to a Futurama video sheet within the wiki. The interface is clean and beautifully designed. Like all of our add-ons, the goal here to create unique forms of content on certain wikis without overwhelming the user.<br />
<br />
In addition, I'll be showcasing this wiki to the folks at Fox, so they can see how great this landing space is. You and your fellow admins should be incredibly proud of the work you've all done on here; this wiki truly stands out on the site. Please let me know your thoughts on the video feature, when you get a chance. We are only enabling it on five wikis total, so it is my hope you'll allow us to move forward with the project. I can be reached easiest at blumenfeld@wikia-inc.com or you can drop me a line on my Talk page. Thanks for taking the time to read this, Solar Dragon. Have a greath 4th of July weekend; I hope to hear from you soon!<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
Adam Blumenfeld<br />
<br />
Entertainment Category Manager, Wikia Inc.<br />

<br />
To answer your questions, there will be no other Futurama wikis in the alliance. All other Futurama wikis that want to join will have to ask for a merger with you guys and from there, it'll be down to you guys. Part of this discussion is to find out more about what people want. It'll be set out something like NIWA, with representatives from each wiki being admins on the central forum we will have. Links to other wikis will be on the hub page, as well as on the member wikis, links to the other wikis on articles where needed. Basically, it will be becoming part of a larger (hopefully) group of wikis. The representatives of the wikis can decide on whether a new member should join or not etc. So far, there are only two wikis I have an eye on (Wikisimpsons and The Infosphere) so if any one knows of any other non-Wikia wikis that fit under the Animated Sitcom description, please list them here so I can pass this idea on to them.

I think that the only members should be INDEPENDENT wikis of the Animation Domination sitcoms. This means no Shoutwiki or Wikia tied ones. The shows that I think should also be part of the alliance the Adult Swim ones (I know VGod, the Devil and Bob was acquired, but still) and the Comedy Central ones. I don't feel that Cartoon Network ones like Johnny Bravo and 6teen would really be comfortable. Those are more kids-geared, while the ones I want to include are late teen and adult-geared--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 23:27, 17 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

<br />
The administrator of WikiSimpsons have [[User talk:Svip#Wikisimpsons and the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance|asked]] whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] but for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms Animated Sitcoms]. There are a lot we need to work out though.<br />
<br />
*Will it only be for independent wikis?<br />
*What will be the requirements for joining?<br />
*We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?<br />
<br />
A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.205.39|92.7.205.39]] 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

I think that the only members should be INDEPENDENT wikis of the Animation Domination sitcoms. This means no Shoutwiki or Wikia tied ones. The shows that I think should also be part of the alliance the Adult Swim ones (I know VGod, the Devil and Bob was acquired, but still) and the Comedy Central ones. I don't feel that Cartoon Network ones like Johnny Bravo and 6teen would really be comfortable. Those are more kids-geared, while the ones I want to include are late teen and adult-geared--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 23:27, 17 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

::If we are going for Animated Sitcoms, it should have to include all animated sitcoms.

== Discussion ==<br />
<br />
The administrator of WikiSimpsons have [[User talk:Svip#Wikisimpsons and the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance|asked]] whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] but for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms Animated Sitcoms]. There are a lot we need to work out though.<br />
<br />
*Will it only be for independent wikis?<br />
*What will be the requirements for joining?<br />
*We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?<br />
<br />
A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.205.39|92.7.205.39]] 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Speaking in the position as a user, not an administrator: As I understand the offer, nothing will change except that we will officially be a part of a larger group, and be linked to from this ''Animated Sitcoms'' website, but The Infosphere in itself will not have to change style, commercial attitude or anything like that?<br />
:I can say right now that I will not be able to take great part in this overall project, nor will I be able to start contributing to some other wiki (I focus on Wikipedia and the Infosphere atm), but if I understand the project properly, I don't mind it. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:51, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Sounds to me as if no harm will come from this, unless the alliance goes rogue or something. I barely wiki things these days, so I'm unlikely to venture into the other wikis in the group. But so long as none of them are Futurama centric, I can see this being beneficial. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:39, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::While I don't think it would harm us, it may draw in new users. I'm unsure about joining until we learn more about this alliance. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 13:47, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
To answer your questions, there will be no other Futurama wikis in the alliance. All other Futurama wikis that want to join will have to ask for a merger with you guys and from there, it'll be down to you guys. Part of this discussion is to find out more about what people want. It'll be set out something like NIWA, with representatives from each wiki being admins on the central forum we will have. Links to other wikis will be on the hub page, as well as on the member wikis, links to the other wikis on articles where needed. Basically, it will be becoming part of a larger (hopefully) group of wikis. The representatives of the wikis can decide on whether a new member should join or not etc. So far, there are only two wikis I have an eye on (Wikisimpsons and The Infosphere) so if any one knows of any other non-Wikia wikis that fit under the Animated Sitcom description, please list them here so I can pass this idea on to them. [[Special:Contributions/92.24.142.236|92.24.142.236]] 23:15, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Drawing in new users is a good thing. (Drawing in [[User talk:Svip#Spam|spammers]] is a completely different matter, however...)<br />
:Can't think of any, sorry.<br />
:Why ''should'' it only be for independent wikis? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 00:46, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

:::I understand. But what if a wiki on ShoutWiki wants to join? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 16:32, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Well, I think that wikis on any wiki host other than Wikia (I just really hate Wikia) then they should join. If a ShoutWiki wiki wants to join then they'll be free to join (I am quite biased towards ShoutWiki though, even though Wikisimpsons is moving from ShoutWiki, I am an admin on the hub and a trusted member and the staff like me :P) and I am even working on a Bob's Burgers Wiki while another user of Wikisimpsons is working on an American Dad wiki. Just no Wikia I think. If any one else would like to have Wikia wikis, we'd need a vote. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.182.244|92.7.182.244]] 17:00, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

<br />
I'm with pretty much everyone else. This sounds like a great idea. More traffic, cross-linking, and basically an exclusivity contract. And no Wikia! (because the word itself still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth after our early dealings with them (hint: stolen content!)) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 08:32, 28 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

:If everyone seems to like the idea, we would need someone to host a hub site similar to NIWA.

I'm also the same person he was talking about working on Bob's Burgers and American Dad!, although the latter I'm not particularly doing much. Although I'm sure we'd all love for it to be an independent alliance, there's always the issue with money, so it may just be a normal wiki alliance, and as for the concern of more than one wiki on the same topic, agreed with Solar, there will only ever be one on a topic, and it '''WILL NOT''' be replaced, I do not think, unless under extreme circumstances.

I may have recalled it wrong, but if you watch the animatic for BBS, I think Farnsworth says it has been 2 years and not 4, meaning it was expected to be released in 2005 and not 2007. That's what I recall anyway.[[User:Anarchy Balsac|Anarchy Balsac]] 23:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
:I admit, that did quirk me originally. But given how work began in 2006, it would have been impossible without time travel for them to release it in 2005. In addition to that, 3007 does appear as a year in the first film, 3009 also appears in the last film. They clearly knew when they were expecting them. The 2 years ago from Farnsworth could be that the company continued to function 2 years after it was cancelled as a show, and the two years off from Fry could just be another indicator that he doesn't really remember correctly. It is odd, but I find it more likely to be purposefully rather than not. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 10:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)<br />

== Your hostility towards a new user ==<br />
<br />
I don't know what your issue is, but just because I speak, spell and favor American English doesn't make me "some sort of jerk" as you asked while undoing an edit on a talk page that you weren't even involved in. [http://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=User_talk:75.82.24.159&action=history] [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] failed to provide a reference showing that there is an official Infosphere rule that that "does not permit the changing of correct English text", and his claim that "a large portion of our visitors prefer the other [British English] style" is biased and unfounded.<br />
<br />
Facts that can't be disputed are that ''Futurama'' is an American show; written by American writers and performed by American voice actors. It is not a British, Canadian or Australian show. Therefore it is only logical that American English be used in context to the series. Second, most of the world speaks/writes American English [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language#Geographical_distribution] with numbers of over 215 million (in the US only, this number doesn't include the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam or the US Virgin Islands) people speaking American English as a first language by far outnumbering the sum of the UK (58 mil), Canada (18 mil) and Australia (16 mil) combined. These data are empirical: they can't be disputed. Quolnok's statement is subjective, and can be disputed. Please try to realize that this doesn't make me a jerk.<br />
<br />
I have personally been to England, and am well aware of the spelling and syntax differences that exist between the dialects of American and British English. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 08:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:We have nothing against the usage of American English, however, we consider edits which only purpose is to change the English variant useless and will only result in disputes (see [http://theinfosphere.org/Infosphere:Frequently_Asked_Questions#faq-english FAQ], [[Infosphere:Manual of Style#Any English goes|Manual of Style]] and [[Infosphere:Rules#General editing rules|Rules]]).<br />
:Your argument that ''Futurama'' is an American show is perhaps... useless. It's up to the editors who contribute to the wiki to choose which English they write it and are comfortable with. And on this wiki in particular, British and Australian English are the majority. Your argument that the amount of American English speaking people should be any point to make as well is also questionable, I find it unlikely that any of these are potential audience.<br />
:So while Quolnok probably should have provided you with links (as I have), he is a Sysop, and basically what he says should be regarded as the rules of the land. So on your time this happened, we just friendly told you that such edits were discouraged and we assumed that would be the end of it, but since you continued to make the same type of edits, I assumed it was some sort of 'rebel sentiment' against rules you did not like. That is more a type of acting like a jerk than actually contribution to a decision you do not like. Good day. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 09:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
::Indeed, I did fail to point to the rule, which I probably should have. [[I:MOS#Any_English_goes|Here it is]]. It is also true that Svip might have violated [[I:R#Talk_rules]] in his response as well. But there's also an unwritten rule about not changing other peoples comments on talk pages except to remove vulgarities and such things. While it can only be seen by administrators, the Google Analytics data shows us that approximately 50% of people who visit the site are in the USA. This rule may seem odd, and it is a little. At the time it was introduced the active users discussed it, there was a slightly higher number of EN-UK preferring people, including the three active members of the administrative team (a [[User:Buddy13|US American]], an [[User:Quolnok|Australian]] and a [[User:Svip|Dane]]). This way everyone is equally unhappy. By all means, use your favoured spelling, just don't remove the others' (the only exception being the EN-AU spelling of "gaol" for "jail", only we use that and it's falling out of favour anyway). - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 09:56, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::Svip, please realize that your behavior is inappropriate and uncalled for. Due to the rude and unfriendly nature of my almost immediate experiences here, I have no wish to create an account and frequent this site as I am now left with the impression that quick assumptions and name-calling are regular occurrences here, especially in light of you being in a position of authority. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 10:51, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
::::I understand I may have been a bit over the top. But instead of just changing a Sysop's comment to an English you favour, you should have responded to his comment, even if your measure was to challenge the rule or demand pages describing the rule. Since you did not do that (and you did catch me on a particular bad day to begin with (but that is no excuse)), I felt you were treating my fellow Sysop with disrespect and that actually frustrated me.<br />
::::But you are free not to join our site if you wish. No one is forcing you in, just don't be disrespectful against a Sysop who was actually being friendly.

:::::I'm sorry to hear you had a bad day, but how does that justify name-calling? Being in a position of authority here, you should be well aware that name-calling only leads to flame wars and useless banter (such as this). <br />
<br />
:::::There are a few problems I've had with the attitudes and ideals shown to me in my short time here that I find quite disturbing. Some of the edits I made before I received Quolnok's initial message were from finding pages that included both American and British English. [[Scruffy]]'s page for example, uses both the American "color" and the British "colour". When I edited that page I was merely standardizing. After doing such on Scruffy's page and few others I received a message from Quolnok which told me that I couldn't change the spelling, only to subsequently find that Quolnok reverted the edits, effectively doing the very thing that he told me ''I'' couldn't do. The double standard was quite disturbing, especially in light of it being almost immediate. On top of that, he gave me no reference, and being a new user, how was I supposed to know that he's in a position of authority (Sysop), and not simply an Anglophile who dislikes American spellings? [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 11:21, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::::A few points;<br />
::::::# I already apologised for the name calling. And I said my bad day was no excuse as well. I was just providing a reason, not an excuse.<br />
::::::# If your edit to the Scruffy article is so, then you should have written that in the edit summary below your edits box, to describe that you were 'merely standardising' the article. In fact, you should have said so when Quolnok addressed you.<br />
::::::# There is no double standard; undoing an edit is a feature of how this wiki system works, it's to avoid things getting out of hands, as the links I provided you with would also testify, we specifically warn that such edits would indeed be reverted if not provided with a reasoning to do so. Reverting your edits was not doing what you couldn't do, but changing the article back to an earlier state.<br />
::::::# In addition, Quolnok is listed in the [[Infosphere:About]] page, which provides you with a list of the three main active Sysops.<br />
::::::Now while I don't expect new users to know all the rules, I might expect them to check out whoever they are talking to (clicking on Quolnok's user page link would also have told you he is a Sysop). But when a Sysop tells you did something wrong, don't just ignore it, respond, even if you are right in your actions; respond. Sysops are humans too, we make mistakes too. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:30, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::::::I'm not saying that I was "right" and that Quolnok was "wrong". I didn't state anything in the edits box as I was merely (from an American English standpoint) correcting spelling errors. Sure, I could of stated that I standardizing, but felt no need to do so. I naturally had no idea that this was as big of deal here as it apparently is. So seeing Quolnok undo my edits ''appeared'' to be a double-standard, which rubbed me the wrong way so I lost any initiative to look further in this site. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 11:40, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::::::Which is why your edits had no initial consequence and Quolnok wrote to you in a friendly manner. We don't expect people to know all the rules when they are new users, but when they do accidentally break them, we inform you on that. But if we didn't revert the edits, what point are the rules then? I understand not writing in the edit summary, but I fail to understand not responding to Quolnok's comment and explaining what you were doing. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:45, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />

<br />
::::::::::Then there is nothing we can do, because Quolnok was doing what he was supposed to do based on what he knew.

<br />
:::::::::::My point is simply that there should have been a standardized message left giving some insight toward Quolnok's authority and the history explaining the use of spelling variations (including links to the rules) that should have been originally left on my talk page.

In closing, I'd like to say that there are nothing much we can do, as the damage is done.

== Good call ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
I am just saying, good call for not joining Wikia. If you have a look on Community Central, there is chaos due to Wikia announcing their new horrible skin. Good call for not merging with Futurama wiki. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.194.78|92.7.194.78]] 23:09, 29 September 2010 (CEST)<br />
:Well, I often speak to people who have engaged with Wikia in the past, and the universal sentiment I get is: 'Don't make the mistake we did; Don't join them'. I decided to ask on issues I was concerned about; ads, skin, control and such. And they could not say they could promise anything. In fact, almost the opposite.<br />
:Part of Wikia's problem is its philosophy. And I am not just talking about being ''for''-profit. Wikia feel that its most important user is its editors. And while I agree that editors are very important on wikis, they are not what the wikis are actually designed for; the readers. You see, Wikia is pretty good looking if you are an editor (no ads, easy buttons for editing and so on), but it looks horrendous if you are just there for reading articles, which -- they have to admit -- is sort of the point.<br />
:I understand the advantages with a merge, but in contrast they are insignificant or not important. This server is running pretty good, I should say. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 00:27, 30 September 2010 (CEST)<br />

Hi,<br />
You may remember me from the Wikia Futurama wiki but, I am happy to tell you, I have left Wikia and have been perma blocked there anyway. We are currently in the process of moving the Wikisimpsons from Wikia to ShoutWiki (in which the staff at ShoutWiki will be doing all for us). You may be wondering why I am telling you this. We have many links to the Wikia Futurama wiki due to the shows being closely related. I was just wondering whether if we were to link here instead of Wikia, would you do the same for us?<br />
<br />
If we could even become closer than that and become an affiliate of you, we would be grateful. At the moment, we are in the queue to be moved to ShoutWiki but, if you reply, I will tell you when the content has been moved over. <br />

Hi, Svip. As you probably know, the year articles have this recurring typo, ''Produciton''.

:Consider its usage on insignificant articles, I am going to give it a pass. Since it is largely accredited to one contributor for all those years articles, I am going to assume he too misspelt it.

Hello, Svip. It's me, [[User:San Saber|San Saber]]. JediRogue's just made some edits to the ''[[Number 9 Man]]'' article, so I went there to check 'em out. I thought about updating it a bit, maybe adding a few ITWGY images, but noticed it's '''protected'''. And I can't edit protected articles with the new account yet.

== Formatting rules ==<br />
<br />
About a month ago I was editing [[A Leela of Her Own]] when I noticed a rule that said "The acts begin and end at commercial breaks, and they also correspond to the chapters of the DVDs." I started a discussion on the talk page because three of the acts were only two sentences long. After the discussion, the article was changed from 5 to 3 acts. Ignoring cold openings, I remember seeing a page that also had this problem. My question is, can this rule be removed, giving editors a carte-blanche to edit the page? Or does this rule still need to be upheld? [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 15:45, 4 April 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Usually the story can be longer rather than just a few sentences per act. But sometimes you'll have to accept the short acts, I guess. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 16:44, 4 April 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Protection ==<br />
<br />
Now that I finished the season six transcripts, I have decided to move make updates to the existing transcripts. The only real thing that these transcripts need is an minor fixes and links to newer pages. Yesterday, while I was updating the [[Transcript:Space Pilot 3000|transcript]] for Space Pilot 3000, I noticed that you protected the transcript from unregistered users but not the other transcripts. Wouldn't it make sense to protect all of them or none of them. I had a brief discussion with Sanfazer about this yesterday on his talk page if you want to hear my arguments. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 17:18, 5 April 2011 (CEST)<br />
:The reason was that an IP user edited the transcript, so I decided to protect it. Then I realised it would be too much work protecting all transcript articles. Fortunately, MediaWiki allows you to protect a namespace which is defined by the 'edittranscripts' user right. See [[Special:ListGroupRights]] under 'autoconfirmed'. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 17:23, 5 April 2011 (CEST)<br />

::::No, it means the CAPTCHA is not very good. According to what I have read, the best CAPTCHA is the ones where you just ask simple questions and require the user to enter them into a box.

== Discussion ==<br />
<br />
The administrator of WikiSimpsons have [[User talk:Svip#Wikisimpsons and the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance|asked]] whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] but for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms Animated Sitcoms]. There are a lot we need to work out though.<br />
<br />
*Will it only be for independent wikis?<br />
*What will be the requirements for joining?<br />
*We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?<br />
<br />
A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.205.39|92.7.205.39]] 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Speaking in the position as a user, not an administrator: As I understand the offer, nothing will change except that we will officially be a part of a larger group, and be linked to from this ''Animated Sitcoms'' website, but The Infosphere in itself will not have to change style, commercial attitude or anything like that?<br />
:I can say right now that I will not be able to take great part in this overall project, nor will I be able to start contributing to some other wiki (I focus on Wikipedia and the Infosphere atm), but if I understand the project properly, I don't mind it. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:51, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Sounds to me as if no harm will come from this, unless the alliance goes rogue or something. I barely wiki things these days, so I'm unlikely to venture into the other wikis in the group. But so long as none of them are Futurama centric, I can see this being beneficial. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:39, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::While I don't think it would harm us, it may draw in new users. I'm unsure about joining until we learn more about this alliance. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 13:47, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
To answer your questions, there will be no other Futurama wikis in the alliance. All other Futurama wikis that want to join will have to ask for a merger with you guys and from there, it'll be down to you guys. Part of this discussion is to find out more about what people want. It'll be set out something like NIWA, with representatives from each wiki being admins on the central forum we will have. Links to other wikis will be on the hub page, as well as on the member wikis, links to the other wikis on articles where needed. Basically, it will be becoming part of a larger (hopefully) group of wikis. The representatives of the wikis can decide on whether a new member should join or not etc. So far, there are only two wikis I have an eye on (Wikisimpsons and The Infosphere) so if any one knows of any other non-Wikia wikis that fit under the Animated Sitcom description, please list them here so I can pass this idea on to them.

::::Drawing in new users is a good thing. (Drawing in [[User talk:Svip#Spam|spammers]] is a completely different matter, however...)<br />

== Discussion ==<br />
<br />
The administrator of WikiSimpsons have [[User talk:Svip#Wikisimpsons and the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance|asked]] whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] but for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms Animated Sitcoms]. There are a lot we need to work out though.<br />
<br />
*Will it only be for independent wikis?<br />
*What will be the requirements for joining?<br />
*We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?<br />
<br />
A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.205.39|92.7.205.39]] 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Speaking in the position as a user, not an administrator: As I understand the offer, nothing will change except that we will officially be a part of a larger group, and be linked to from this ''Animated Sitcoms'' website, but The Infosphere in itself will not have to change style, commercial attitude or anything like that?<br />
:I can say right now that I will not be able to take great part in this overall project, nor will I be able to start contributing to some other wiki (I focus on Wikipedia and the Infosphere atm), but if I understand the project properly, I don't mind it. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:51, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Sounds to me as if no harm will come from this, unless the alliance goes rogue or something. I barely wiki things these days, so I'm unlikely to venture into the other wikis in the group. But so long as none of them are Futurama centric, I can see this being beneficial. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:39, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::While I don't think it would harm us, it may draw in new users. I'm unsure about joining until we learn more about this alliance. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 13:47, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
To answer your questions, there will be no other Futurama wikis in the alliance. All other Futurama wikis that want to join will have to ask for a merger with you guys and from there, it'll be down to you guys. Part of this discussion is to find out more about what people want. It'll be set out something like NIWA, with representatives from each wiki being admins on the central forum we will have. Links to other wikis will be on the hub page, as well as on the member wikis, links to the other wikis on articles where needed. Basically, it will be becoming part of a larger (hopefully) group of wikis. The representatives of the wikis can decide on whether a new member should join or not etc. So far, there are only two wikis I have an eye on (Wikisimpsons and The Infosphere) so if any one knows of any other non-Wikia wikis that fit under the Animated Sitcom description, please list them here so I can pass this idea on to them.

The administrator of WikiSimpsons have [[User talk:Svip#Wikisimpsons and the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance|asked]] whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] but for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms Animated Sitcoms]. There are a lot we need to work out though.<br />
<br />
*Will it only be for independent wikis?<br />
*What will be the requirements for joining?<br />
*We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?<br />
<br />
A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.205.39|92.7.205.39]] 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Speaking in the position as a user, not an administrator: As I understand the offer, nothing will change except that we will officially be a part of a larger group, and be linked to from this ''Animated Sitcoms'' website, but The Infosphere in itself will not have to change style, commercial attitude or anything like that?<br />
:I can say right now that I will not be able to take great part in this overall project, nor will I be able to start contributing to some other wiki (I focus on Wikipedia and the Infosphere atm), but if I understand the project properly, I don't mind it. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:51, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Sounds to me as if no harm will come from this, unless the alliance goes rogue or something. I barely wiki things these days, so I'm unlikely to venture into the other wikis in the group. But so long as none of them are Futurama centric, I can see this being beneficial. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:39, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::While I don't think it would harm us, it may draw in new users. I'm unsure about joining until we learn more about this alliance. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 13:47, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
To answer your questions, there will be no other Futurama wikis in the alliance. All other Futurama wikis that want to join will have to ask for a merger with you guys and from there, it'll be down to you guys. Part of this discussion is to find out more about what people want. It'll be set out something like NIWA, with representatives from each wiki being admins on the central forum we will have. Links to other wikis will be on the hub page, as well as on the member wikis, links to the other wikis on articles where needed. Basically, it will be becoming part of a larger (hopefully) group of wikis. The representatives of the wikis can decide on whether a new member should join or not etc. So far, there are only two wikis I have an eye on (Wikisimpsons and The Infosphere) so if any one knows of any other non-Wikia wikis that fit under the Animated Sitcom description, please list them here so I can pass this idea on to them.

I'm also the same person he was talking about working on Bob's Burgers and American Dad!, although the latter I'm not particularly doing much. Although I'm sure we'd all love for it to be an independent alliance, there's always the issue with money, so it may just be a normal wiki alliance, and as for the concern of more than one wiki on the same topic, agreed with Solar, there will only ever be one on a topic, and it '''WILL NOT''' be replaced, I do not think, unless under extreme circumstances.
