It's adorable!

It just bugs me that Bloo is so... blurry.

I'm a girly-girl, so I think it's pretty-ful...

Great job!!! I actually think the blury Bloo looks great for the overall effect of the logo.

It's great. I have no problem with it, but if you feel like making another option for us go ahead.

I repeat: I LOVE IT. ONLY MAKE ANOTHER IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT.

Hm, really? I thought he was more sharp than the rest of the image and sort of contrasted well. If more people agree with you then I'll change it, for now I'll just leave it. :P

It's not a *huge* issue; don't worry about it. ;)

Darn, that's good ruki. A *little* blurry, but good.

Ok cool, I'm glad there's no major issues. XD Thanks.

If you still need workers, I'd be happy to help

I think we still need some more writers...?

I'll help with that from time to time.

Yeah I think everyone could pitch in and make a page here or there, but we could still probably use like, a few head writers who take care of the majority of things.

You are right... And I hate to say this again, but...

Any volunteers?

(*ducks for fear of getting hit by rotten tomatoes or a brick*)

-Marty 8-)

I can beta read very well, if that's a help...

I can do a LOT for the Wikia. :D ;D

Come on, we still need a head writer. :P You up for it?

Um, uh, I could maybe do it. MAYBE. What would I need to write about if I was to accept teh role? D:

I'm already the episode coordinator person. Kip, can I call you Kip, you'd need to write about the characters, get some random trivia about anyone in the show, and yeah. You wouldn't need to get *too* detailed, just enough to give people an idea. And of course, other people would be able to edit your stuff. ;)

Oh duh, you're already the Episode-type-person. My bad!

I think Ch3353 has summed it up the best: Pretty much anything that can be written about. If you were to take the job, then you'd start out by making character profile pages and episode overviews. Simple things like that, then more people could expand on what you've made.

However you would have to go much more in detail with the characters. A good example of this would be looking up a pokemon Growlithe on Wikipedia compared to looking up the same one on Bulbapedia. Although it doesn't look like too big of a difference, the Bulbapedia gets down to the real nitty-gritty of the monster in the games. I suppose the equivalent for what we're going to do would be that instead of giving each character a paragraph or a few lines to sum them up, we'd give them a whole page. We'd go over their personality, relationships with other characters, how they've changed over time, that sort of thing. I'm confident that you could pull off such a thing, Kip.

Yeah, I think you could do it. And we'll help. We just need a Head Writer and the rest of us can help.

By the way, Kip, you have avery violent siggy... It cracks me up everytime I see it...

Speaking of siggies, ruki, your new one (which I saw on DeviantArt yesterday) looks very nice, and I think we got the best person for the job when we made you GC.

-Marty 8-)

Ahh thank you :D I won't let you guys down.

After looking around some other Wikis, I think I already know what to do for the layout. But once that's done, then that's it, there won't be much more for me to do other than memorising a bunch of jpegs. XD

Well, I think that we should get a PhotoBucket account for the Wiki, so we can have all of the pictures at one place.

I would also like to have a page for every episode (that's going to take FOREVER, but I think I can work on it) complete with airdate, trivia, summary, title card, and screencaps (Sparky, if you're reading this, I will not hotlink... that's what the PhotoBucket account will be for).

Any suggestions?

-Marty 8-)

For the screencaps I'll try my best to not steal from Sparky's website, since I already have the majority of the episodes on my computer already. If we do, then we should credit her website.. duh.. yeah.

The photobucket is a good idea, why didn't anyone think of it before? I'm on it.

Edit: Done.

http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n111/fwfif/

PM me for the password if you think you have something good to add, right now it's empty.

Thank you!!!

I have nothing to go on there yet, but I'll PM you for it when I do.

And with this Wiki-wide PhotoBucket account, there are some rules:

1. No deleting images unless you are positive that it is no where on the Wiki.
2. Don't share the password with anyone else (except ruki, who is keeper of the password and will give it to you if you need it). This one's a given; we don't need any image spammers.
3. Only images for the Wiki go up here- put your own stuff on your own account (another given).

Anything you would like to add, ruki?

-Marty 8-)

I think you pretty much covered everything.

I also think that people should be the judge of whether or not a picture is useful or not. Before you upload, think, can this picture really be used in the Wiki? Is it important enough to be used in the Wiki? Pictures that might have a character making a weird face or whatever, yeah those are cool to look at... but we need things that'll be useful.

Also if you plan on uploading things to the screencap section, please put what episode it is in the file name, followed by the number it is. For example, it'd be better to put up something like "berry_scary07.jpg" instead of "berry.jpg" Unless it's the most amazing and rare picture in the world, it will be deleated. K? :D

And oh the character section of the photobucket thing, that's for things like clip-art like Sparky's site hosts, cast images, and that sort of thing.

Exactly. That was PERFECT, ruki.

And for those who are wondering, a picture appropriate for the Wiki is one that shows the character at its most (for a character page), shows the setting, or an important part of the episode (on the episode pages).

As for the pictures on the pages for the small group of behind the scenes people... Use your best judgement, okay? Nothing that says "I AM THE MAIN FOCUS OF THIS SITE!!!". Just a short bio, maybe a picture or two with your fave character or ONE avatar, but that's it. And a few links.

-Marty 8-)

Yeah, thanks for expanding on the rules there. I think we've made it clear on the do's and don'ts now.

By the way, who's going to be organizing the whole thing? We know I'll be taking care of the actual look of the site, but who's going to be the person who sets up where all the links go and where this table goes and the content on the front page...

I can work with that. ;) How many screencaps per episode page? One or two of the major scenes?

I have a question: will we have a separate page for reaccuring minor characters, like have a special page for Jackie Khones, and then put some of the one-shot characters like Berry and Bendy all on one page? Or will we just have one page for ALL of those characters with separate sections for reaccuring and one-shots?

I think I can work with the links and stuff, Ruki, dear.

1. I know, sorry, I'm just wondering who's gonna be doing the overall organizing. But we'll be good!

2. For the episode screencaps, let's try to keep it around the 1-4 limit? Whatever you feel is appropriate, really. It's up to you.

3. Here's what I think: I think minor characters who had entire episodes written around them, such as Bendy, should get their own page. Until someone writes up their page, however, they should be given a paragraph or so each under a general minor character page. Tiny characters like Handy and the big baby who are seen throughout but never really got a huge role should all be mushed into one page and really shouldn't be given anything more than that, unless an excentric fan of theirs is willing to donate more.

You guys can use my screencaps and stuff, that's not "stealing", especially since its for something that will actually be useful. ;) Like I said, I *make* the caps so people can *use* them. Unless you think my caps are too small or whatever. That's the biggest I can make them.

We'd of course credit Sparky on every page.

I'd do that anyway, because she's allowing us to discuss this on *her* forum. ;)

Lol. Don't credit me on *every* page. And I'll probably link to this thing once there's enough of it up. I'm actually doing something...*kinda* similar myself for my own site, of course its not a user-editable type thing, and I'm doing something a little more specific than what it sounds like you're doing. So perhaps between your guide and mine we'll have the End All of Foster's info on the internet. ;)

Well, looks like everbody's dying to see the wiki. ^_^ I'll help out with some character pages and all.

Oh, and, should we use the Coco Card pics as well?

I think the Coco Cards should have their own special page. ;)

Maybe maybe maybe we could have a separate page for any "special items" used in the show. Like, uh... the Coco Cards, the room in Room with a Feud, Bloo's paddleball(s), the pink rubber elephant, Mac's backpack, the Foster's bus...

And the bobble-heads maybe (from the end of CFCC). ;)

That's the only reason why I think people should make their own. Other than that, they're fine, it's just... too tiny.

Bloowiki?

I think we've already decided on "Foster's Wiki for Imaginary Friends" ...?

We did.

Well, I have some good and bad news, guys (and girls).

The good news is, I got the reply to my Wiki request WAY earlier than I expected.

The bad news is, it was kind of rejected.

I got the following e-mail this morning:

Hello,

Thank you for your Wikia request.

There is already an existing wiki for all cartoons at
http://cartoons.wikia.comwhere you are welcome to add the content
you
proposed.

If the section on fosters becomes popular, it can move to its own Wikia
at a
later stage.

Alternatively, you are might want to start a trial wiki within the
Scratchpad
Wiki Labs site. Please see
http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Make_a_new_wiki for details on
how to
start an instant wiki there.

If you need any help with editing that wiki, please see the tutorial at
http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Tutorial or contact our community
support
team by email at community@wikia.com.

Regards,

Angela

I'm not exactly sure what our options are at the moment, because I haven't checked the cartoons wiki yet.

What do you guys (and girls... once again, I hate leaving people out) think we should do?

The cartoons Wiki is a possibility, I guess, but we were really hoping for our OWN Wiki.

Of course, we can start out with cartoons, find enough people to support it, and THEN move it to its own Wiki.

-Marty ::) (I'm silghtly bummed)

Well, that's a bummer. =/

We COULD completely over populate the Foster's section with lots and lots and lots of facts. ;D

I dunno. It says if it gets popular enough...

Plan A: Enlist every Foster's fan you know to bookmark the Foster's Wikia Page and visit it every day for at least five minutes for a month. Hopefully that'll give it enough hits for the Wikipedia owners to notice its popularity and e-mail you back, Marty, and we'll have the Wikia.

Plan B: E-mail them back and whine about how popular Foster's is, and how the Simpsons has its own Wikia, and don't leave them alone until they give you the Wikia. ;D

Plan C: ... still working on it.

We can always use the scratchpad. I'm doing that for a mini-wiki for Nintendo Wars and Nectaris (wargame series; the former is actually called "Famicom Wars" officially and includes the Advance Wars games, and the latter is Hudson's wargame series) because I tried to request a wiki for them and it got rejected.
