Time line
I'm slightly perplexed, In season 13, what year is it suposed to be; is it the same year as the year it's made: (2009 -2010) Or is it back in the late 1900s?--The Navigator talk 03:08, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Rare cover

Please lok at what i found. Mays Peep! Peep!   15:31, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Books
It was on the UK Amazon page. There's also a new Misty Island book to be released in 2011 by Golden Books. I didn't create a page for it because I thought it might be a mistake. I'll be uploading better shots from All You Need in a minute :) SteamTeam 17:57, August 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Go to the Amazon.co.uk and search Thomas & Friends in the Book category and then click "sort by Publish date" and it's the top one. I'll reply to you PM on ZEM's forum later, by the way because I'm a bit busy with All You Need right now :) SteamTeam 18:39, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

NEW MIR TRAILER
I just found another MIR trailer!!!!!

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/video/video.php?v=1532265582194&ref=mf

It looks awesome!!!!! SteamTeam 19:28, August 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Cool and - Oh, yes. I don't know why really. It's just the way the older pictures were I just copied them. SteamTeam 19:36, August 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I've finished :) I could but the trailer is rather small and it's got the DVD pasted all over it, so it would be difficult. SteamTeam 20:30, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well, what do you think I should do? Also, I only noticed it when I was uploading them, but did you notice the picture of Emily with football shirts hanging from her? SteamTeam 20:39, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just want your opinion - I won't think you're telling me what to do. I missed it first time around (because of the poor quality ;) ) SteamTeam 20:47, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * All done. Are you going to post them on your news blog? :) SteamTeam 21:12, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think it is SteamTeam 21:26, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

I think it's a different shot all together (I might be wrong of course) SteamTeam 21:35, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Re: Time Line
Thanks, I'll try your suggestions, I want to know partly for goofs...--The Navigator talk 20:09, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

New Facebook page Called "SODOR STEAM FILMS"
Me and my friend, Jordan Schepis (Known as JJschepis on Youtube) started a New Facebook page called "Sodor Steam Films". We are going to put thomas pictures, Songs and episodes on the facebook so people who are thomas fans can watch the videos on Facebook. So we are trying to make the facebook great, and hoping to get lots of viewers too. We are both happy to start this special facebook for Thomas fans. :) Thank you.

Season 13?
I though of something, about season 13. When i'm reading the charcters, I wondering why Trevor and Harold are not on the season 13 charcter list, I know they are shown on the Island of sodor CGI intro, but I think they should be on there since they appeared, but they don't talk. I was thinking about that the other day. :) Thank you. :) Percyplunge 15:00, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Trackmaster Smelter's Yard Cars
If I were to change the smelter car to slag car, would you change it back? Slag car is a much more appropriate term instead of the smelter car.


 * The term for the smelter car is actually slag car. The contents are just liquid metal remains that cannot be reused or recycled.


 * There is no name for that car, but there is a flatbed with broken metal, and a flatbed with new rails. I just called them @ 4:45.

Spoiler Policy
Hello Thomasfan, I would like to discuss our current spoiler policy with you and SteamTeam. As you know, currently we have made it a rule that "no one adds spoilers to pages concerning Misty Island Rescue and its spoiler character." I suggest that we change the rule to “spoilers can only be added to an article if a spoiler-warning template is added to the top of the article or the top of the section in which the spoilers are contained.” I could create a template for that purpose. The reason for this is: I have seen other wikis do it, and I think, even though we may not particularly care for spoilers ourselves, the wiki should be kept as up-to-date as possible. I manage to spoil things for myself most of the time, so I can try and moderate spoiler edits to make sure that they are true. Please tell me what you think. :)  ZEM  talk to me!   05:20, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Cameo
I don't know what a cameo is.


 * Thanks!

Bertram not on the rails?
I took a closer look at one of the profile views of him on the Toby's Discovery page. He IS on rails, they're just very hard to see! :p Oh, and I was just gonna upload the promo shot you just added to that page. Weird eh?

Also, I didn't know Brain O'Connor still publicly goes out in his Schemer guise! Lol, oh how I wish to randomly meet him on the street! :p 14:52, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Just one more thing: where did all those new Thomas and the Stinky Cheese CGI test pics come from?! I thought only two of them had surfaced! :O Jim 14:58, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Re: When you see...
Sorry. I was only trying to be useful. No harm done though right? - SkarloeyRailway ...you will find two little engines called Skarloey and Rhaneas... 15:50, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I do. Ok. I'll be careful. - SkarloeyRailway ...you will find two little engines called Skarloey and Rhaneas... 16:08, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Misty Island Song Performer
Guys, Id like to edit the MIR song page because I went to the theater screenings twice and know the name of the performer of the song. If an ADMIN would like to edit it in for me, its Stefan Ashton Frank. The Magic Engine 03:06, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

More Misty Island Rescue Pictures!
2 more pictures of MIR is added on the US amazon page, one with thomas getting loaded on a raft, and one of diesel on the edge of the cliff. Check them out! :)

Percyplunge 14:47, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Latest MIR pics
Where'd you find those? They look awesome! :)  ZEM  talk to me!   16:36, August 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, cool. I can't wait to see the movie! :D  ZEM  talk to me!   05:03, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Beta Wikia
Have you heard about how Wikia is working on changing its design?  ZEM  talk to me!   05:10, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

What was Wrong?
Where there too large?, Or where their names incorrect?


 * I just checked the page, you corrected an ERROR that was incorrect, and it took me quite some time to rip tose CAE DVD Menus. Now i'll have to start all over again ;( TEngine 08:57, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Undelete
Just letting you know, you dont have to undelete something to look at it. When you click on the (view/restore) link, like you will see the old version at the bottom. If you click on the datetime, it will show you THAT version of the page, just like clicking in the History view. --Uberfuzzy 20:40, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Spoilers
Sorry I didn't write back to you guys the other day about the spoiler thing. Anyway, I am glad you agree, and as you have already seen, I created the spoiler templates! :) (I didn't respond the other day because Mom asked me to get off the computer while I was in the middle of editing some things on here...) :)  ZEM  talk to me!   02:40, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Beta Wikia
I doubt they're owned by the same people, but I know what you mean... YouTube and eBay have been changed alot in the last three years as well. :(  ZEM  talk to me!   02:45, August 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am anxious to see how this change will turn out... I'll tell you more about what I think in a PM later.  ZEM  talk to me!   03:38, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

If its ok
I'm gonna put the Best of Thomas pictures back, The Best of James has its title card and other pics too, so its only fair i added those to the best of Thomas page. TEngine 14:41, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Callum
Why did you block Callum (TEngine)?  ZEM  talk to me!   17:50, August 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Are you sure that he understood your warnings though, because he told me that: "I am sorry but i didn't know you HAVE to call a DVDMenu Image SaltysSecretandOtherThomasAdventures.Png." So are you sure you were clear?  ZEM  talk to me!   20:36, August 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, do you think we could cut him a little more slack and remove the ban? I'm certain he is not the type to intentionally break rules.  ZEM  talk to me!   23:47, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Diesel 10
Just a question,how come I got banned for posting Diesel 10 on MIR page but now its okay? The Magic Engine 04:24, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Rules
Oh right, sorry. I'll keep that in mind when I carry on with Season 8. Sorry, and thanks, Oliverandtoad13 07:58, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Oh no, it's nothing. It's not hard to understand! :) Thanks for the reminder! Oliverandtoad13 08:50, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Pictures
I'm unable to upload any pics, yet i'm unblocked. TEngine 13:24, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Re:Diesel 10
No hard feelings,just wanted to know why :) The Magic Engine 20:36, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Hello, I'm new to the site and i will promise to follow the rule but i have one question, on the editing rules do you mean don't edit the Goofs/triva and story plot.

The Star of Knapford Picture
Hi Thomasfan, I've made a crop of The Star of Knapford from the Merry Winter Wish DVD cover. Should I upload it onto the Star of Knapford page? Oliverandtoad13 16:17, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * I see. Thanks anyway! Oliverandtoad13 16:32, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Re:MIR
I haven't ordered it yet... :[ But anyway, I am planning on writing Wikia about the countdown soon. Don't worry about the randomness, I like getting Wikia messages from you too. And don't worry, I remember the PM I've not answered yet. ;)  ZEM  talk to me!   03:11, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've been spending most of my computer time on Wikia. :)  ZEM  talk to me!   03:21, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, the "good ole days." ;)  ZEM  talk to me!   03:29, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've been told that I have a good memory, but when I try to remember back through every memory like that... whew, that is some serious overload! :P <font face="Arial"> ZEM  talk to me!   03:37, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Images
I am sorry about the images. I uploading again I hope they will be good this time. --SteamworksCentral 06:19, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Smoke Stack
Dear Thomasfan,

Please can you tell me why you banned me, It would really help me for the future so I don't make the same mistake again.

I will fully understand whatever it is you tell me, but, please could you explain.

Many Thanks

Re:Galleries
I noticed that too! I don't have any idea... <font face="Arial"> ZEM  talk to me!   19:15, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Just wondering...
Just wondering, just for fun, do you think that 'Arry and Bert were previously Splatter and Dodge before The Fat Controller re-named them and gave them new coats of paint.

I do know that the two un-named diesels in "Stepney Gets Lost" are 'Arry and Bert, but it was said that their models were re-used from Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

PS. Later, I will be leaving you another note on why I posted several goofs on "Calling All Engines".

Toot Toot! -- dieselengine

Thomas' fault in "Calling All Engines"
This is diesel engine continuing the previous message he left:

I put down the error on "Calling All Engines" because the narrator said, "...but Thomas knew it was all his fault." So I find it a flaw that the steam engines are cross with the diesel engines when it was Thomas' fault, not theirs.

This is why I also had said the diesel engines blame the steam engines when only Thomas made them late. Although they could be also referring to Percy, he did not give Diesel the truck of bananas at all -- that was also Thomas.

Toot! Toot! --diesel engine

hey there My new nice to meet you

Misty Island Rescue (song)
Could you unlock the Misty Island Rescue (song) page? I have the lyrics, and I'd like to post them. I saw MIR yesterday a wrote down the lyrics to the song. SkarloeyRaliway ...you will find two little engines called Skarloey and Rhaneas... 15:55, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Why was he banned? All he did was replace a Better Quailty image of the missing coach image, and he gets banned for that? Why? TEngine 21:16, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Maithwaite stationmaster
I posted the U.S. version of Double Trouble on Dailymotion, and I'm asking you: do you know who voices the stationmaster there? I can't tell at all, really. Especially given the fact I'm bad at remembering names. CGI-isn't-bad Well, at least in my opinion it ain't! 21:19, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Would you be able to please delete my old account that i dont use anymore called 'Stuart Hunt'. I only use my new account 'Hintonmanor123' now. I dont know how to delete my old account. Hintonmanor123 11:55, September 8, 2010 (UTC))

Promo image
Hi, could you please delete this image please? I'm asking you that because i've sent it to TheTopHatt one or two months ago for him to upload it on his blog (Roll Along Blog). And now I've just noticed that it's here too.

I've uploaded a 700x467 version, please use that from now on.

Thanks for understanding, your friend, TheRTF 15:53, September 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, of course you can add me to your friends list. :D As about the image, I'm asking you to delete the large one (2000x...), and use (keep) the smaller one (700x... is large enough). Why did you delete the smaller one. http://rollalongthomas.blogspot.com/2010/06/exclusive-more-promos-from-eighth.html TheRTF 22:27, September 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * But I've cropped it directly from the 3070x... original image, I've saved it to 100% quality. Well, can you please crop it yourself then, please? Only because it's a bit smaller, it doesn't mean that it has a poor quality. You can crop it to 700x... and make sure it's in it's best quality. And yes, if possible, please credit me (for finding or releasing it on the web;). I've got it from HIT along with many other original promos from CAE, TGD and S8. TheRTF 22:50, September 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, he didn't find it, ... I've got it from HIT (along with other promos), and I've sent him a smaller version (the original is 3070x; the version I've sent him is only 2000x). However, it's too late to change it now, so it's ok. :D But I want to be credited for "finding" it. TheRTF 00:59, September 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, thank you very much! :P Keep up the good work! :D TheRTF 01:14, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Removing Images
Hi. Why do you keep removing the images I add to the Ladybird books article?! You make me so mad! I put a lot of effort into adding those images and you remove them every time! --User:Thomasfan93 September 9, 2010 16:15 (PST)

MIR Goof
I have noticed a goof. Ferdinand glares at the logging twin who mentions the tunnel, which means he must've known about it. Also, Ferdinand must have arrived after Bash and Dash, as he is the only engine to have buffers. Hank 03:10, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Very well done. I never noticed that. There are two others. Rosie's whistle is head when the steam team whistles a congrats to the blue e2 @ Tidmouth Sheds and Thomas' whistle is heard at Brendam Docks, despite the fact he's not there!! Hank 21:04, September 11, 2010 (UTC) Hank

Named Images
Hi. Can you please help me find some images that are not misnamed? --User:Thomasfan93 September 10, 2010 16:12 (PST)

Editing pages
Thomasfan, not all pages have "edit" options. How do I edit pages that don't have "edit" options? Mcqueen9000 14:55, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Martin Sherman
I have left a picture of Martin sherman on his Wiki page hers the website if you want to double check. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1453396/

Hey Thomasfan
Since I'm not an admin, meaning I can't edit pages, I thought of an edit you can put on the "Superhero!" page.

You can start a "Goofs" column and put down, "The Diesel is missing his number throughout this story."

Thomas, Percy and the Coal
Hi, just wondering what you think about the pictures on the Thomas, Percy and the Coal page? SteamTeam 15:54, September 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know. That was what I was trying to avoid and I used a lot of editing techniques but they obviously didn't work. My favourite was this one. I think this come out well.


 * Yeah, I didn't do it straight away. I'm actually quite pleased with the way some of them came out. I found the technique worked well on some and not on others. By the way, sorry for not signing that comment. My mind must've been elsewhere SteamTeam 15:26, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Only with the granier images. :) 15:39, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Whistles & Sneezes
Heya there, Thomasfan!

I did some searching, and yeah, I haven't found a US recording of Whistles & Sneezes. But I've had a look at the US and UK recordings done by George Carlin and Ringo, and aside from a few small things, there are only two main things that are different:


 * There's one time where the Fat Controller is changed to Sir Topham Hatt.
 * The last line of the US version is changed.

Do you think it's possible that this was one of those times where Ringo just replaced a few words and gave it off as the US version? Or maybe he just didn't get around to it...

Another troublesome user
William8. He created a spam page called Work (a Season 3 ep he made up) and I just caught him adding more made up eps to the Season 3 page. Jim 10:16, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Availability Footnotes
I know we had this discussion before but I know we were recently talking about expanding the wikia and I thought that adding an Availability section to episode pageswould be a good a way as any. I actually think it looks quite neat right at the bottom of the pages. I've done it to Thomas and Gordon so check it out and let me know you're opinions and if you don't like it please feel free to remove it but personally I think it looks quite good and I know this section would benefit me and a lot of other users because I like to know where I can find certain episodes on US DVDs and so on :) SteamTeam 10:30, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what you meant when you said you enjoy looking for what's available (or something like that)? When I'm buying US DVDs I like to know where I can find certain episodes like Percy and the Signal for example. SteamTeam 08:35, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, I never knew that could be done. Thanks so much for telling me. That's going to save me a LOT of time :) I only wish I knew about it sooner. I bought a couple more US DVD, by the way. ;) SteamTeam 15:25, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * :) I bought Calling All Engines and Steamies vs. Diesels and other Thomas Adventures :) SteamTeam 15:57, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Neither of them would have been my first choice. I just got them because they were in the UK (which is unusual) and they were £2.00 each (with £1.00 P&P) so it was a great price. I'm glad I got them :D SteamTeam 16:04, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is. Especially this cheap :D I prefer getting them from the UK because they only take a couple of days to arrive - I'm very impatient :P I wonder if Steamies Vs Diesels has any special features? SteamTeam

WHY, WHY, WHY!?!?!????
You blocked super58173 under "fake user", and left no means of contact. After rudely renaming a picture I put up, with no warning. I'm back to ask why. Was it the IP Adress? Because I use a public WiFi spot. Luigimaster 00:18, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

MIR Goofs
Two goofs I've found in the movie are: Harold's unsafe landing at the Rescue Center Construction site (due to the limited space) and the lack of wind or debris being blown about as a result of his landing there. OrigamiAirEnforcer 00:38, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
