Blog Typo
On the "Fiction, Reality, and You" article, there is a typo. The next line under the all caps, "Of course, only a small minority of people (mostly newcomers) on the wiki (and the Internet) truly believe what they read here. And for most people, they will not attempt replicate atrocities..." there needs to be a "to" between "attempt" and "replicate". A few notes, your article was quoted on the CBS evening news, and your article sounds hostiley and aggresively defensive toward those asking for the shut down of the site. Doesn't look very good to me. Kind of insulting to those parties concerned. The Gold Guild Knight 23:13, June 3, 2014 (UTC)

I came to this site after the news article of the 2 girls in Waukesha came out. I read the home page and thought - "it sounds like a literary website with authors of creepy stories" - and I find no harm in that at all - I even read a few. As I have been following the news story on the girls, I heard that there was a post addressing the connection of their violent behavior to your website - and I read your response. I don't think the stories posted here "made them do it" - but, as a parent of 2 kids who does closely monitor their website use - I think that your site is not a site geared towards kids. You mentioned in your post that when people blur the line between reality and fiction - that's when problems happen - I agree. I think the fact that children's brains are still developing - and the fact that they have access to things that are too "grown up" for them to understand (I could understand that the stories were all fiction - and many well written). I don't think that the people are concerned are necessarily looking to place blame with the set up of this wiki - but I think it's very clear that your audience should be adults - even based on what you listed as your occupation - kids shouldn't be exposed to that as they can't always differentiate between reality and fiction (or when someone is likely being - let's say "silly" about their occupation). So, I see that you are an administrator of this site - I hope that you consider adding more notices of "adult content" or taking an active approach to better secure your site for "adults only" - aside from just asking a birth date - as, obviously most kids put in an adult date. The writings you have here are good - they just aren't geared towards kids - that's where you can take some responsibility to making the internet better - by pushing for better regulations on how "adult" sites are protected from kids getting in.

Thanks!Momofkids (talk) 21:36, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

Our news just reported that your website will be trying to raise $10,000 to help the victim in the Waukesha crime - I didn't see anything on your website about that (but also didn't look too hard) - but an idea would be to update your homepage to CLEARLY indicate that this site is geared towards fiction for adults. I suggest that since most news sources are listing you in their articles - you obviously are getting more traffic from it - and my guess is that kids will be looking too. While it is true that you have to be over 13 to post/interact with this wiki - there isn't an age qualifier just to read it. This is where you can get even more media attention - by taking action now - in the heat of the publicity of your website - to make it better - clearly indicate with graphics/text that this site contains writings for Mature Audiences (like the MA rating on TV shows) - maybe make that be all that you have on the page except for your note about the Waukesha incident - then people have to click on something BEFORE they can start reading anything. No it doesn't stop them - until internet laws can ever get changed (and I don't know how they actually would anyway) - but in the mean time - you could come out looking like a "great example" of what to do on a site with adult content - knowing that since this incident happened you are not only getting "concerned parents" looking at your site - but you are getting TONS of "curious kids & pre-teens" looking at it too. I have parental controls on my kids computers - because as a former web-designer - I know what's out there and I know how you can easily stumble on something you weren't even trying to. But all parents aren't protecting their kids - so why not be the example for other sites - be a site who can make a difference. Don't just be defensive in your comments about "over concerned" parents - but take action and make a change to your site - that should make the internet better. Any "over concerned" parents should be monitoring their kids anyway.

Donating to help the victim
I heard about the incident and that there is a site for us to donate money to help the victim. Can you please let us know the link? -FaLLeN Nsanit 01:45, June 6, 2014‎ (UTC)


 * I was able to find it by accident because I happened to come back to the Stories Pertaining to the News Event on 6-2-14 forum today after reading it a few days ago and saw that it had been updated with the fundraiser information. But as people have pointed out, it needs to be made more prominent.

 &nbsp ;  (Leave out the space before the semi-colon. I had to add it to make the non-breaking space code show up.)
 * What you have at the top of the main page is a start, but can be expanded. First, if you add the following line in between it and the "Welcome to Creepypasta" section, it will help separate the two and make the top stand out better.


 * Second, add a link to the "Stories Pertaining" forum to say "this is how we're handling the situation" and that it has an official fundraiser with an alternate method of showing support by sending in the purple hearts made of paper, felt or felted wool. The fundraiser was on the main page a few days ago, but it was in one of those bit.ly URL shorteners so it initially looked like a scam to LOLSKELETONS. Sannse added the notice back in without the fundraiser link, so you might want to check with her first. If she says you can't have that on the main page even after it's been confirmed as a legitimate effort, then maybe just keep it as a short "here's how we're handling the situation" link.


 * You also have a third way of showing support, the Creepypasta Wiki:Waukesha Support Signature Project, so that could go in there as well.


 * And finally, I know the color scheme of this wiki is deliberately dark, but in this case, a little color might help. If you chose muted colors like light salmon, dark olive green or the light sky blue I used in the code above, it would help attract the eye to the notices at the top of the page without contrasting too much against the existing white and gray colors. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 16:42, June 8, 2014 (UTC)

I recently wrote a story named "Visiting Grandma", a story based on the tale of Red Riding Hood, and it was taken down. I reposted it, but am still not sure as to why it was removed. It did not spin off any of the "forbidden pastas" such as Jeff or Slenderman, nor did it violate any of the User Conduct rules. Do you have any idea why it was taken down?

Story Taken Down
I recently wrote a story named "Visiting Grandma", a story based on the tale of Red Riding Hood, and it was taken down. I reposted it, but am still not sure as to why it was removed. It did not spin off any of the "forbidden pastas" such as Jeff or Slenderman, nor did it violate any of the User Conduct rules. Do you have any idea why it was taken down?

How Bad Did I Screw This Up?
"Do not forget to add any story you create/upload to the Article Listing . If, after 30 minutes from adding a page, you neglect to put that page on the Article Listing, you will receive a 1 day block as stated inthe rules. This is not  the same as adding it to the User Submissions page."

Sorry for what is probably a dumb question but it was pretty late when I submitted my story Videohead and I just wanted to make sure that I completed all of the required submission steps. This was my first contribution, so there's a good chance I screwed something up.

It's an original story, so I added "OC" to the catogories listing. The other catogory it's listed under is "Beings" and when I checked the listing, the story was right where it should've been in alphebetical order. So, is that it? Can my story now be found and read by others?

Thanks,

DrVenkman

I Know This is a Long-shot, But...
Hi. I know this is a long-shot, but a few months ago I posted a pasta called "Who Dares Win" ''. ''It was deleted. I recently got a new computer, and I forgot to transfer the file. Would there be any way at all to recover that pasta from this site? I understand if you can't, but a few times when pastas of mine were deleted, I was given a version on pastebin to save to my computer. Would that be in any way possible? I am also asking a few other admins on their talk, so if you see an answer to this on my talk alredy, you dont have to reply. Thanks, Jett Cyber (talk) 01:05, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

A Request
Hey there Sloshed

So right around lets say october I think of last year, i was promoted to rollback along with Flacky and Fatal Disease, well it seems my luck isn't very good, and my computer broke (logic board fried and a hand full other stuff) which then caused me to go inactive and lose my position. But I was wondering if it was possible to have my position back.

If not I completely understand that I need to earn it back, but i'm back and i've already beend active for a week or so now. I'd be very apprciative if I could so that I could continue to help the wiki to my fullest potential.

Thanks in advance, Peppers246 (talk) 01:42, September 9, 2014 (UTC)

le dinks
Hey Sloshed. I was on the List of Rollbackers and saw that you kept Dinkleberg as a rollback, when he's a VCROC member. You do know that rollback right is already equipped in the VCROC right, right? Because in this, it already says that VCROC's have the ability to rename pages and revert bad edits (as a rollback already does). So... yeah... can you remove the rollback right from Dinkleberg, since he already has the ability in his VCROC rights? <span style="padding: 0px 5px 0px 5px; border: Solid 2px ; background: ; -moz-border-radius: 0em 0em 0em 0em; -webkit-border-radius: 0em 0em 0em 0em; border-radius: 0em 0em 0em 0em;"><strong style="color: blue; font: Comic-Sans;">Do you hear that? <strong style="color: green; font: Comic-Sans;">That's the grape roaring   00:12, September 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sure Sloshed is aware, but does it really matter, Fatal? Dink's name doesn't show up on the the rollback template, so it really doesn't matter if he comes up as both since VCROC people have the rollback ability anyway. Just my thought; I think it's negligible, but meh.

Intersting Projects
Hey, I was recently talking to DubiousDugong and he had an interesting idea for a Halloween project/contest. He proposed an idea in which users dressed up as their characters/monsters/OC/movie/literary monsters/characters, and a number of admins/respected users decided on a top three/five who would be featured in the Nightmare fuel section. (If they post a story to accompany, maybe we could find a way to promote it as well.)

He set some rules as well, like no unoriginal characters like Slenderman, Jeff, or any of the other memes, to prevent bias and unoriginality. Tell me what you think? (Personally, I think it's an interesting idea that could promote creativity and hard work.) The details still need to be hammered out, but I think this could turn out to be an interesting/creative contest. This could really promote an artistic quality we really don't get the chance to see. (How often have you seen well thought-out pictures or depictions that weren't copy/pasted... I thought so.)
