  • Hey, Percephene / Ceridwyn, glad to see you around the forums again recently! Thought I'd point out that it is possible, after all, to change your forum screenname painlessly (Account - Personal Information), though it might throw some people off. Welcome to JoCopedia; glad we'll be able to call upon your wiki expertise! --Bry 03:17, 23 April 2008 (EDT)
Thanks for the welcome Bry! Are you officially welcoming people? I'm about to propose a welcoming committee on the main discussion and don't want to suggest reinventing the wheel! And yes I thought of that except it might be confusing and/or people just wouldn't know who I was. Although I post so little its probably not an issue ;P ~ Percephene 03:20, 23 April 2008 (EDT)
I suppose I may as well start welcoming people (while it's manageable). If it gets to be too many new people, I'll have to make Scarface an offer... But definitely suggest a welcoming committee -- it's more fun that way. :) (By the way, I see you've figured it out, but I guess MediaWiki likes "%20" instead of spaces in outside URLs.) --Bry 03:25, 23 April 2008 (EDT)
Done and yeah, I was sloppy :P I tend to use underscores, especially for cross wiki posts. Now to set up my customary squee-pink signature! --Percephene 03:31, 23 April 2008 (EDT)
Done! ~ Percephene ~ talk contribs 07:42, 23 April 2008

More hellos

Welcome Percephene! I remember Uncyclopedia; I did the original entry there for The Rhyming Act of 1854 or whatever it was, all that stuff about Eminem rhyming orange with syringe, and Alice Cooper rhyming pizza with "eat ya". And the Red Sox Nation article. :p Thanks for helping out in here, people with Wiki experience will help greatly. --MitchO 08:51, 23 April 2008 (EDT)

Hi MitchO! :) Thanks for the welcome! Hmm I don't know that one off the top of my head, I'll have to dig it out and have a looksee! :D ~ Percephene ~ talk contribs 11:45, 23 April 2008

Lyrics

Hey, Percephene, thanks for the lyrics work! I'm just noticing, though, that for WikiProject:Lyrics, we also need you to turn the "smart-quotes" into normal quotes. (The "smart-quote" is different from ', and the former doesn't work well with some browsers and gets turned into funny characters sometimes. They're only there because the lyrics, by and large, are copied straight from the jonathancoulton.com song details pages, which use the wrong kind of apostrophe.) As you go through, would you do me the favor of fixing the quotes? (It's faster sometimes to copy and paste into Notepad or something and use its search-and-replace.) If you don't have the chance, you can always leave a note on the WikiProject page -- something like "words verified, quotes unverified" or something. Thanks bunches! --Bry 21:37, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

Eep sorry, I did read that bit but didn't understand what it meant. I figured I'd see it displaying oddly or see some crazy quotes floating around and didn't so promptly forgot! I'm doing the lyric verification from work so I can't really commit the time to the quotes thing atm so I will go through and put that note in on the ones I've done and try and fix the quotes up when I get home. Sorry for that! ~ Percephene ~ talk contribs 02:35, 28 April 2008
