Locomotives Wiki
Hey! You and some other members should have a look on my recent wiki! Me and SirHandelFalcon have been wanting to ask some Thomas Wiki members to join! (You guys don't have to join if you don't want to; it's no big deal.) HenryDuckFan 03:09, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

Oh! Oops! Here: http://locomotive.wikia.com/wiki/Locomotive_Wiki

New magazine page
I made the page, and it would be helpful if you could check over it and fix any bits I got wrong. I'm not use to this whole making pages thing. Nostalgiaglasses 03:15, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah sorry if that was a little too personal. I didn't mean to invade your privacy :P Toby7 Ding!Ding! 03:16, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

Magazine pictures
It's me again. Is there anyway you or some of the other people running this place could get more pictures up for the magazines? I know people have to have the magazines, and it would make it look a lot better to have pictures while reading the summaries. But I'm pretty sure the people may not have scanners for it, which is why nobody is putting up pictures.Nostalgiaglasses 17:04, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

Links on quotes?
I've already unlinked some, but before a do a gazillion more, Are quotes supposed to have links? thanks :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 22:24, April 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * For now should I "unlink" the name if the character that's making the quote? Because if it's a quote for an episode, book, magazine story, etc, a link should already be on the page. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 03:26, April 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, you know how most episodes, books, magazine stories, etc have quotes? well the thingy(I don't have the best vocabulary you see :P) under the actual quote(ex: -Thomas insulting Terence) shouldn't be linked. It should look like this: -Thomas Insulting Terence, instead of this: -Thomas insulting Terence. Hope this makes a bit more sense. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 03:49, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Neil
Excuse be, but is neil narrow gauge?184.144.52.28 13:39, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

How to change your account name?
Hi Thomasfan, is there a way you can change your own account name? Because I don't want this name anymore. I don't even like Season 5 that much anymore. I'm more into Season 4 now. :) A Season 5 Fan 22:53, April 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I am going to try something. It might work, it might not. If it is against the rules, just tell me and i'll undo it if it does work. A Season 5 Fan 22:45, April 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Never mind, it didn't work. :( I guess i'll just have to wait for Victory93 to reply. A Season 5 Fan 22:48, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Characters
Hello. On the epsisode pages for the earlier seasons (possibly using the "Paint Pots and Queens" page as an example), it seemed like the characters were listed in order by their numbers. It doesn't look like we do that any more for seasons 14 and 15? Could I be of some help by re-arranging the characters' orders on these pages, or would you like them to be kept the way they are? GreatWesternRailway 19:30, April 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Most, but not "Up, Up, and Away" or "Tree Trouble" to name a few. GreatWesternRailway 19:49, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Story Idea?
I was just wondering if you had any story ideas or any constructive criticism (disregarding the absence of other characters such as Donald and Douglas) for my series at my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/FreeSmudger?feature=mhum User:FreeSmudger, He now runs freely on the Skarloey and Rheneas Railway... 21:33, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Thomas and Friends: A Day At The Races
Hi Thomasfan I forgot to mention that there is A Thomas & Friends game called Thomas & Friends: A Day at the Races for the PS2 & should we create a page for it?? (It seems like it was only released in the UK since the rating is from the UK) SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  13:33, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

something's going on at the STS wiki
for some reason website icon changed from white paper to something else then a Diesel 10 page was made can you see what's up man? http://shiningtimestation.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity


 * thanks man

TTTEWikia's creation date
Remember in that announcement you made way back then when you said you discovered that this wikia was created in '06? Well I was looking back and a lot of key pages (Thomas, television series) weren't created until late 07. You left a link in that announcement for Default, which you said was the proof, however that page is an admins only page, making it unable to be viewed. Could you maybe unlock it or something? I believe you but I just want to see for myself. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 21:06, April 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's fine :) Anyway, for the main page slider, do you think it would be a good idea to replace the MIR picture with a thing for season 15. It's just a suggestion though. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 01:12, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Insignia
How do you change size and color of your signature? Also does "Mao-Wep!" sound like Smudger's whistle (say it to yourself and give me feedback)? User:FreeSmudger, He now runs freely on the Skarloey and Rheneas Railway... 23:15, April 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I want it to be Smudger's whistle but I can't think of the correct onomatopoeia for it. Any suggestions? User:FreeSmudger, He now runs freely on the Skarloey and Rheneas Railway... 00:46, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Template Idea
I have a great idea for a template: Mr.Conductor 00:55, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Cussing originally allowed on this wikia?
Was cussing originally allowed/used on this wikia? Because I was looking back through the blocked list and cussing is in the thing where it says why users were blocked. How come? A Season 5 Fan 20:47, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Why?
How come some people's user pages (from like 2007 or 2008) were deleted a long time ago? A Season 5 Fan 20:56, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Blog Post updating??
Hi Thomasfan I am going to make a blog post & the rule is to only let the commenting up for 2 days. Well this blog is going to get updated every month (Which the next update is in early May 2011) So when it gets updated can I let the commenting go for another 2 days?? <font color="sky-blue">SirHandelFalcon  Toot!

Series 8 DVD Release Date
The DVD's actual release date is 28th July 2008. (Just to correct the page)

Quick question
Um, why did you make the you may template link for Douglas unbold? I thought all linked words in youmay templates were supposed to be bold :P Toby7 Ding!Ding! 05:14, April 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I see. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 14:11, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

a page for Thomas References on other shows
hi i'm thinking of maybe making a page for shows & references that mentioned or starred Thomas do you think we can try that?


 * ok then

Another question...
Sorry to bother you again, but I have another question. I posted this blog this afternoon, and FreeSmudger thought it may be against the rules. I doublechecked the blog rules and there was nothing contained in my blog that broke the rules. I'm going to disable comments tonight or tommorow morning, but I just wanted to ask so I wouldn't get in any trouble. Could you check out my blog to see if it broke any rules if you get a chance? thanks, Toby7 Ding!Ding! 22:35, April 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks :) FYI, I'm heading to Mexico for the week, and if the wi-fi's awful, I probaly won't be online much :P Toby7 Ding!Ding! 01:36, April 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Toby7 Ding!Ding! 12:00, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Mink Home Video?!?!
Hey Thomasfan A user posted some Thomas videos clearlty thinking they were from "Mink Home Video" - No such company, i deleted his oversized over brightness images for you. I'm a little confused of these "Time Life" Releases, so far, i only know James and the Express was one title releasing. I've asked Zem if i could maybe join up and be a staff member, your going to need a good Thomas Brain to help run this wikia, Alot of mistakes and silly errors have been put right by me. TEngine 15:30, April 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry to barge in like this TEngine, but I thought this would be a related comment to what you're saying for Thomasfan. The user who's been doing stuff with Mink Home Video is User:Yarmor37@aol.com. It looks like he's also been doing some pretty weird stuff that doesn't seem very helpful with other things with some US VHS/DVD pages and adding images. I also think TEngine would be a great Thomas Brain to help you guys. He's been doung a good job getting rid of some of the ridiculous-ness. GreatWesternRailway 15:42, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

2004 Thomas Gets Tricked
I don't think there was a 2004 VHS release of Thomas Gets Tricked, otherwise it would be on Amazon and Ebay, i've checked all over the site, google images and more, and i don't think there ever was a 2004 release of that title, its only DVD release was in 2007. But if there was, do you know anything about it? TEngine 17:06, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

New Wikia Help
I have started a new wikia (http://thomasdiecast.wikia.com/wiki/Thomas_Die_Cast_Wiki) and was wondering, could you please join the wikia and help me out with it? I could really need you as an admin! If you say no thats fine but I just need some help to make it look more like this wikia ;) (btw can I use pictures from this wikia for my wikia?)

Re: Locomotive Wiki
Well, I know it's been awhile since of been on Wiki, but have you been able to edit or create any articles on Locomotive Wiki? (I can easily tell you've probably been busy lately.) =P HenryDuckFan 02:23, April 18, 2011 (UTC) P.S Sorry for deleting messages on talk pages.

Characters
Should really call The Chinese Dragon a character? It's more of an object than actual rolling stock, has no face mask, and therefore does not talk. And it scares me (sorry I felt like sharing). User:FreeSmudger, He now runs freely on the Skarloey and Rheneas Railway... 03:25, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

Edit
Hi Thomasfan i made an edit to the goofs on toby and the flood earlier today and i recieved and email later on that said the page had been edited again and my edit had gone do you know what happend to it?

Stub template
Hi Thomasfan. Just a suggestion regarding the stub template - we should add a category to the template so that all stub articles can be found in something like Category:Stubs. This could be linked to from the main page/community portal, so that users could find articles that need improving; it could also encourage new contributors to edit and gives them a useful resource for pages that need attention. Thanks, Acather96 21:12, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

HIT FAVORITES Wrong Date
You put down the wrong date fottThe New HIT Favorites DVD "Preschool Fun". The DVD is released on July 5, 2011. Plus i do know the episodes for the HIT Favorites: Snow Days. I can put in the episode titles in for you, if you like? I do collect the HIT favorites DVDs. Percyplunge 23:15, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Thomas Gets Tricked "2004 VHS"
Thomasfan Before you clean up the TGT and other Stories page please allow me to clearly say that there has never been a 2004 VHS tape of "Thomas Gets Tricked and Other Stories" released on Home Video by Anchor Bay Entertainment. If this is what you ment to me the other day, i can say its a photoshopped picture, the old Thomas logo wouldn't go with the current one. Note also the edited cover of this Percy Ghostly Trick VHS. Its the same cover as this one: I hope this has cleared up this issue.

I look on the picture of the blue box case of the Special video collector's set. It listed "Thomas Gets Bumped & Other Stories" on it which is not feature in the set. I think it suppose to mean "Trust Thomas & Other Stories". Percyplunge 01:42, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Time life Covers
These are too small, but are these some of the Time-Life VHS Covers? If so, we do need to find bigger versions of these. BTW, That 1990 TGT Cover i've uploaded, its the best i can offer, there are no other pictures of it, the quailty of it is the same as the back cover i uploaded, there is however the TimeLife cover left to find.

Thanks
thankyou for them I've finished them now JRCS 21:46, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Thomas Gets Tricked DVD: Wrong Information
On the Thomas Gets Tricked DVD page, the descripsions are in the wrong places. The video descripsion is in the DVD section, while the DVD descripsion is in the video section. Also, change VHS to DVD for the Percy and Toby goof. I own a VHS release of Thomas Gets Tricked.Fanofthomas 01:23, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Troublesome user on the answers
Today, I went on the Thomas answers site and a user named 72.66.120.113 answered a question that was called why didn't BoCo appear in the series 12, 13, 14, and 15. Anyway, the user 72.66.120.113 answered the question with something like "BoCo is dead get over it he won't come back." or something like that. I found this more annoying than offensive. Another user on there said he answered a question that was like that one too. A Season 5 Fan 18:31, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

hello I just uploaded a trackmaster hector picture and i just want to know if i called it the right thing according to the rules JRCS 22:33, April 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * ah i can see you have renamed it thanks JRCS 22:42, April 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Happy Easter JRCS 22:44, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Idea...
Happy Easter, Thomasfan! Anyway, I thought of a new idea for the wikia. I think for DVD's, VHS's, books and other separate pieces of merchandise should have a new section. I'm don't really know what to call it, but it would have a link or two to a site that sold that merchandise. For example, for the Team Up with Thomas DVD, under the header would be a link to amazon or possibly the online store on the lionsgate website. I came up with this idea because I was think of which DVD to had to my collection, so I looked through the DVDs on the wikia and when I picked one out, I wanted to go on Amazon to get  an idea of the price. So I think this would make a bit more easier. of course, we would have to slowly phase it in, as we have quite alot if pages for all that DVD and book stuff. Any thoughts? Toby7 Ding!Ding! 02:37, April 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's a good point. I don't know if it would make it much better, but what if we added a bit of a disclaimer not under the link saying some items may be out of stock. And we could also only link to amazon, so if it does go down, it will make decent deal in the news so we could go through them all and remove the section. Again, the only reason I say this is because it may make it easier for a lot of buyers. The more I think about, it's like communism: good in theory, not good in practice. So I think maybe we should put to side 'til we find a better solution, but definitely keep it in mind.

PS: Sunder Resurrection Day sounds better then Easter in my book. (Don't ask me why, I have know idea!) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 03:16, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

Confusion...
Hey thomasfan I confused. As you can see, the Animal sanctuary coach appeared in the story An Old Friend, but it wasn't that coach. So which magazine story did the Animal Sanctuary Coach appear? --PNR 03:01, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
