Hello
I'm new here and I would like to edit some pages to improve the TTTE Wikia, but whenever I go to edit a page, it says that the page has been locked. Can you please explain this to me and why I can't edit any pages? Thanks! Tidmouth Forums 01:59, June 17, 2011 (UTC)Tidmouth Forums

Re: Thomas and the Traffic Jam (continued)
Thanks! BTW I watched my first Doctor Who episode with the Ninth Doctor this afternoon. The episode was "Rose" I think. It was ok, but it wasn't the best. I like the tenth doctor (I've watched alot of clips of him) and the eleventh, but I think the ninth seems a bit boring. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 02:05, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Poll
Thank you for making that poll for me. It looks really great. All I need now is for people to vote! BTW, I started a new section because you achived your talk page. :)  Smoke Stack  Toot! Toot!   18:26, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Question
So how does it feel to be the best on the wiki? Quamalamalam 19:05, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I meant that you've made the most edits and, according to your acheivement points you are "ranked #1 on this wiki".

DOTD Bouns features & DVD covers
i found on the Walmart website DVD covers & Bouns features OF DOTD DVD/bluray: The Steamies and the Diesels face off in this action-packed movie adventure! When a fire breaks out on the Island of Sodor, two new firefighting engines - Flynn and Belle - join Thomas and Percy to save the day! When Thomas starts spending all his time with Sodor's newest heroes, Percy is left feeling alone. Diesel sees this and invites Percy to the Dieselworks, where Percy is made to feel special by none other than the master of mischief Diesel 10! But Percy doesn't know that he is part of Diesel 10's master plan to take over the Sodor Steamworks. Can Percy lead the Steam Team to reclaim the Steamworks or will the Diesels make it their new home? It's full steam ahead to sure-fire excitement in this all-new movie from "Thomas & Friends(TM)". Languages: English, French and Spanish, Subtitles: English (Closed Captioned). "Fiery Flynn To the Rescue" Game, "Day of the Diesels" Karaoke Song, "Hear the Engines Coming" Karaoke Song, "Steamies vs. Diesels" Video. Percyplunge 00:58, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

About this WWII film
Kinda interesting that they're creating this new Thomas film set during WWII. What do you think of it? I guess it's alright since the movie will be targeting an audience bigger than the originally intended for the TV Series. TTTE fan11 20:21, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Episodes to television series
Hi. I put added "of the television series" to each episode because there is no direct link to the tv series page. I'll tell you my reasoning: When I'm on other wikis, and I go on episodes, I usually don't see a link to the series that episode is of. That makes me frustrated, as I then have to follow link by link to get to the tv series page. That doesn't bother me here, as I can easily get to the page I need to go to, but this may not be the case for a new visitor or user. Also, technically there are three tv series (The BBC attempt, Jackonary, and the current one). I don't think it has to be the same phrasing as I did, but each episode should have a direct link to the tv series it's apart of. Could you please explain why you think they don't belong there, or propose alternate ideas? Thanks for your time, Toby7 Ding!Ding! 19:40, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand. The last part is a good point. :) Thanks for explaining. I hate when people do stuff and don't give me a reason when I ask. You have been able to explain all the things you do when you ask. I don't think I've thanked you before, so thanks for being a great admin! :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 23:45, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, would you mind archiving my talk page? Thanks :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 23:49, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for archiving it. I thanked you because I feel that there are only a few people in the world that are like you and other guys on the Thomas 'net community. :) It's is nice to see that there are people who live up to what God (or what ever you think has the highest power) wants us to be. :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 01:27, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Assistance
Do you know how this wiki's logo is the Railway Series, S11 and CGI Thomas with the TTTE logo? How did you get that logo? I am asking you this because I am an admin on another wiki and I want to change its' logo. Mcqueen9000 20:48, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * How to change it. Thanks. Mcqueen9000 03:21, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * It helps, but I'm having trouble finding this tool bar that follows me up and down the pages. Mcqueen9000 03:01, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think it's the "New Look" skin. Mcqueen9000 03:05, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh wait, Never mind. I found it. I'm so sorry to disturb you. Mcqueen9000 16:33, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

And I managed to do it too! Come visit it if you'd like. It's the Endless Ocean wiki. In case you don't know, Endless Ocean is a Japanese-made video game about oceanography. There are two games. Both are very fun, but the second one is more fun. Mcqueen9000 16:57, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem. . I should warn you: it is not the most reliable source but I am working on making it. Before making any edits, I suggest you play the games first. Mcqueen9000 22:37, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes it is only available for Wii. But, there's this guy on youtube who has made videos of his Endless Ocean games (both of them). this link will take you to his channel. :) Note: He also includes commentary by him in his vids, with, ever so often, swearing. This is him speaking. There is no spoken dialogue in the actual game. Mcqueen9000 23:58, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem. Always happy to be of assistance (no pun intended). Mcqueen9000 00:29, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Maps
I was wondering, what do you think about adding the maps of the various railways (as well as other maps) into their own category? It would be called something like "Maps" or Map Images". It makes things easier to find if there is a discussion about the geography of one of the railways or something like that. It turned out to be a good idea on the One Piece wiki, and it might be here too. 20:34, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Great. Never mind then. 21:46, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Badges
Were these just added to the wiki? I've seen them on Total Drama Wiki & Adventure Time Wiki, plus my own brand-new Scratchpad wiki, North Western Railway HQ, but did you just add them? BNSF1995, Alive since 1995 00:59, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Edits
Sure I'll stop. :) As you can see, I'm kinda going through all of the DVD pages, and trying to improve that area of the wiki. But out of curiosity, what is wrong with me renaming so many pages? I assume it fills up the recent changes? If so I understand. :) By the way, I'm not going to busy all this summer(except one week of camp, a vacation(I'll be able to edit from there), and training for cross country), So if there is anything that needs to be done on the wiki, I probably be able to help out. :) Just wanted to let you know.

 * Hilton Head, South Carolina. :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 11:18, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I didn't make a full sentence because I wanted to get some edits in for the morning. Hilton Head, is an island of the coast of South Carolina. It's quite a nice place. My family loves it there, so we try to go as often as possible. :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 19:43, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

TOMY
Can I upload pictures of TOMY a Fuel Tanker, Milk Tanker, Plant Van, Mail Coach (different from the look inside Trackmaster versions), and Cattle Truck for their respective pages? Smudger, Mao-Wep! 03:16, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Dragon
As a child, the Chinese Dragon scared me for it's looks and a sound it made, I had my friend watch the episode and he described it as a mechanical clanging sound. You hear it in night train. Are you sure you didn't here it? Smudger, Mao-Wep! 14:54, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah I guess you're right. Smudger, Mao-Wep! 15:55, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Questions
Sorry to bug you, but could you rename File:MichealRodgers.jpg to MichaelRodgers.jpg please? Also, could you tell me where you learned that DotD was going to be called Charge of the Steam Brigade? Toby7 Ding!Ding! 22:33, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Neil
Could you fix Neil's template? The picture got messed up and it doesn't fit anymore. I would do it but I'm not good with image resizing stuff like this. Thanks. 03:32, June 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks again :) 04:36, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Sixteen's Friends
I know it never said they were steam engines, but the article has them down as tank engines. Wouldn't that make them steam engines? Or are small Diesels like Class 08's considered tank engines too? 19:40, June 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wow, never mind. I apparently can't read. I thought it said they were other tank engines. Forget I said anything. 19:42, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Claude update
You might want to see this. According to what I've found, the engine's real name is either Lady Hamilton or Phoenix.http://claudhamiltongroup.webs.com/ 20:29, June 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oops, sorry. Lady Hamilton was listed on the page that linked to the first one. http://railways.national-preservation.com/showthread.php/30337-New-Build-Claud-Hamilton. 01:14, June 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * It might be best to use its number like we did with 10751, 31120, and those two tender engines. So, 8783 would probably be the best name. Unless you think Phoenix or Lady Hamilton should be the name? 02:33, June 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, this doesn't have to do with anything, but if you're interested, I found an old newsreel about 8783 while looking for other stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUO8fumkqOc. 02:45, June 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was wondering about that. Is it a rebuild of the same engine, or is it from scratch and it's being given the same number as its predecessor? The way I read it, it sounds like it's the same engine, Lady Hamilton was its original name, and the rebuild is called Phoenix. 02:48, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I understand now. That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. 03:06, June 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I actually thought about the number issue too. I think it may be due to a technicality. From what I can tell, I don't think Phoenix is being built in any special locomotive works. Tornado was built at Darlington. So were the other A1 Peppercorns. I think the A1 Trust wanted to go by the original system, since they were rebuilding the engine but weren't building it to the exact specifications. It may also be a thing followed by the people at Darlington, they would just go by the next number in the Peppercorn series. These are only based on what I could gather. I could be completely wrong. 03:41, June 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is what I meant, BR vs. privately owned. It seemed that because it was BR that Tornado would follow the system. 03:15, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Permission
Can I have permission to do something such as editing pages?

Needed Page
While looking through trackmaster wiki, I found this:http://tttetrackmaster.wikia.com/wiki/Southward. Do you think we should have a page for this? It's a brand of merchandise, but it's just a knock-off brand. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 01:38, June 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's what I thought. :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 14:51, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Fantasy adventure?
Would you mind looking at the descriotion of the WWII Movie poster on this HiT website? It says " '9' Director Shane Acker To Lead All-Star Creative Team On Live Action Fantasy Adventure Inspired By The Mythical Island Of Sodor." Do you think it should be noted some where on the page? I don't remeber seeing the fantasy part anywhere when the poster first emerged. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 19:50, June 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK. :) Also, should one of the main page slider images RWS 42? It could replace the regular RWS image. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 11:27, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand, but how about instead of the phrase "Where it all began" you could put "Get excited for book 42" or something of that nature. :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 18:28, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's just has good (if not better)! :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 03:12, June 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's OK. Like I said before, both phrases are awesome. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 03:18, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Thomas the Tank Engine Jakks Video Game
Hi Thomasfan so I was looking through my stuff & I found this Jakks Thomas the Tank Engine game that I used to play so I was wondering if there is a page for it or can I make that page? I still remember what characters are unlockable & which ones aren't. SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  02:08, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

All New Captain Kangaroo & Mister Moose's Fun Time Wiki
hello i've created the All New Captain Kangaroo & Mister Moose's Fun Time wiki but it needs more than just me working the page so if you can do you think you might help this wiki out? Skullzproductions 20:07, June 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * how come? Mister Moose's Fun Time has Thomas the Tank Engine on it Skullzproductions 20:36, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Editing
Thomasfan, why is it that on pages such as Day of the Diesels, I am not alowed to edit anything, but you can. Recently on your page i aked you if i could become a member of the wikia and you told me i was because i have an account, but i want to become an admin like you and zem ect. Also when you respnd on my page, could you edit day of the diesels in the trackmaster section of the merchandise section. Put that Cranky and Flynn save the day is a set. Thank you please write back. Dayofthedieselsfan1 00:16, June 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * What i meant by the trackmastr thing was on the day of the diesels page where it says merchandise, there is a trackmaster section, but no one has added the set cranky and flynn to the rescue and since im not an admin i cant add it. So i told you. And about the whole admin thing, like when can i become an admin? Dayofthedieselsfan1 02:56, June 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * And how come you removed the images of trackmaster belle dart and den that i uploaded? Dayofthedieselsfan1 03:01, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Season 15 spoiler removal
You said that you didn't think the spoiler alert was needed anymore. I don't know; Belle, Den, Dart, Flynn, Norman, and Paxton havent been properly introduced yet. (That may be just my opnion though.)

Redo?
I was wondering why you removed and then re-added the Staff category to those pages? Was it a spelling issue or an extra space was made before or after the word by accident? 02:40, June 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok. That makes sense. I've done the same thing. It's a bit demanding when there's an influx on the One Piece wiki as well. It isn't as big an influx as you have (I mostly just check edits from new users and anons), but I have hit the wrong button from time to time. The mousepad on my laptop is also pretty sensitive, so that doesn't help either. But yeah, I totally understand where you're coming from. 02:55, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Infoboxes
I saw that you put infoboxes on the season pages. They look pretty good! It makes it so much easier for people like me who are too lazy type a couple of letters! LOL. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 19:15, June 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Instead of the opening title, what if you added a screenshot from an episode of that season that is symbolic in some what(ex: each season could have a picture of Thomas pulling Annie and Clarabel, that way each page has a unique picture) :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 00:32, June 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Here's a suggestion: What if we had a poll some how for the most memorable moment from each season? I don't know how efficient it would be, as it would be tedious to have the vote, and there will always be someone who will disagree with the result, and constantly try to change it. Could you contact wikia possibly, and ask them to create indivualy colored templates? But again, both options include a lot work, with little benefit. I think the vote will be the best. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 02:44, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Poll for July
I have a suggestion for the July poll. It should be: What you're new favorite character in DOTD. The answers would be Belle, Flynn, Den, Dart, Sidney, Norman, and Paxton. HenryDashPaxton3000 01:09, June 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * What about in October?
