JaSam pics?
Hi. Can you please be more specific about what problem(s) there is/are with the pictures on the couple page(s) (you mentioned the Jason and Sam page specifically). I looked at the JaSam page and didn't see anything wrong. Is it possibly just the device you're viewing on? For instance, I've noticed if I happen to have my zoom on in the web browser, sometimes it does weird things; it also looks different on tablets and phones. I usually check all edits, and will when I get a chance; but I haven't gotten a chance the last couple weeks. Thanks!--Ylnani (talk) 22:51, April 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * I see what you are talking about now. I don't know why it's doing that, or how to fix it. Everything looks fine with the code. Maybe it's something Wikia has messed with, they change formats and layouts globally sometimes and it does weird things. It could possibly be because those pictures are a different size/shape than what the dimensions of the gallery box is, so it's squishing it to fit in the box. I'm not sure. I don't have the answer, I'm sorry. --Ylnani (talk) 00:30, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

That's fine…I just wanted to let you know. Thank you for looking Lantefan2012 (talk) 02:11, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Family tree code
Hi, i need help editing the family tree section of the Cassadine Family page. I want to add Nathan to it. I was able to add his name to the list, but the source code for the tree itself is incredibly confussing. i was hoping you could help. MountainDew17 (talk) 02:12, May 6, 2014 (UTC) MountainDew17


 * Hi. Yes, the code for the family tree is incredibly confusing! It took me a long time to figure it out. Nathan actually should not be in the Cassadine family tree (yet). It has not been confirmed that he is Victor's son, it was just speculated by viewers/implied on screen.--Ylnani (talk) 14:17, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

Image Uploads
Hi, I'm just wondering what the purpose is of re-uploading some of the images that have already been uploaded and added to the Wiki. Is there something wrong with the image quality? Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 00:20, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, no offense but the quality sucks and believe me if it didn't I wouldn't be re-doing them. Lantefan2012 (talk) 01:02, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

Hey I'm sorry if I came off as harsh that was not my intention. Lantefan2012 (talk) 01:17, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

I was just curious because some of them do look improved but most look exactly the same as the ones they are replacing. With some of them I can't see how they suck when the new ones are looking the same. IMO I'm not seeing much of a dfference with the new caps and I compared them side by side to check them out. Most of the images I uploaded came from high quality HD clips, esp the ones on the TJ/Molly page and Danny page and looked pretty good to me. I use HD clips for caps whenever they are available. It took a lot of time and effort on my part to make those caps so I didn't get why they were being replaced. Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 01:42, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

Ok yeah well I've had a little too much time on my hands so I got a little out of control soo sue me... I'm sorry that ruined all your hard work. I'm gonna stop wiith the pictures for awhile. What does IMO stand for? Lantefan2012 (talk) 02:51, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

IMO means "in my opinion" and look you don't have to apologize. I don't feel like it was ruined, I just wanted to know why the caps were being replaced because I'm not going to waste my time making caps just to have them replaced. Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 03:28, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

http://general-hospital.wikia.com/wiki/File:Jossreturns2.png
 * Hey! Could you point out the differences in the image links posted below, cause besides one being paler than the other, I honestly cannot see it and I feel like I'm missing something. Thanks! :) Btw this is unrelated to the conversation above, this is solely about my own improvement, I'd like to know what makes the images inferior and also what you use to make your screencaps. Is there a program that you use? I don't know if you noticed but I actually uploaded two sets of four images because I noticed the poorer quality on the first set and worked to improve it, so any help you can provide for achieving higher quality images would be appreciated since I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 03:29, June 18, 2014 (UTC) http://general-hospital.wikia.com/wiki/File:Josslyndisapproves.png

Ok the image is smaller and the quality is better. When I make screen caps its on a smaller screen thats all i do differently. Yes i did notice that you uploaded again. Im sorry for making you feel bad Lantefan2012 (talk) 18:40, June 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Please don't misunderstand, I don't feel bad, I was just asking for advice on how to make better screencaps. Does a smaller screen size make much of a difference? The image I uploaded is 635 × 346 pixels and yours is 633 × 347 pixels, so in terms of quality I thought they were pretty close. I don't think image size has much affect on the quality when you can adjust the size when you add them to a page. Anyways where do you get your videos from, Hulu, ABC.com, YouTube or do you download them yourself? Also, on each image page there's a 'File History' tab that lets you upload a newer version of the same image. So instead of having 3 sets of the same four images crowding the board, if you ever feel the need to re-upload something, all you have to do is go to the page where the image already is and re-upload under file history. Then re-post the image wherever it is going. Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 21:20, June 18, 2014 (UTC)

Okay and good :) I mean know it doesn't I don't know why it matters. I get my images (screencaps) from the youtube channels, TipsyAngel and GHStarKidz at either 720p HD or 1080p HD and okay thanks for telling me... I didn't know that Lantefan2012 (talk) 01:37, June 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh okay good, I use GHStarKidz too for the kids only and abc.com/Hulu high definition for other character clips. For the YouTube clips, I usually use 720p HD because I found that sometimes 1080p can come off looking kind of grainy. I guess since the screencaps come from the same place (source), they should be the same quality, as long as they are saved as png and not jpg. I found that jpg or jpeg images look good when blown up, but lose resolution when you upload them and don't look as good when you make them smaller for slideshows or to break up text. I've found that png images seem to hold up better. Anyways thanks for the info. Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 03:11, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

Ok yeah and thanks for info as well. Have a nice night Lantefan2012 (talk) 03:17, June 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * You have a great night too! Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 04:12, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

Background edit
Hi again, was there a reason for undoing my edit? Normally when one undoes an edit, they give a reason. For anonymous posters it doesn't matter as much, but for registered ones trying to contribute that's kind of rude. I was the one who wrote the background on the Danny Morgan page and I made that edit for a reason. I won't change it back until I know what was wrong with the edit Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 00:37, June 5, 2014 (UTC)

Hey sorry I forgot to put one...umm what you wrote didn't make complete sense to me so I thought I would try to make it better Lantefan2012 (talk) 00:51, June 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * How did it not make sense? Seriously asking because I don't understand how it didn't make sense. I think the sentence was simple and to the point. Now that I look at it, the only additions I see are Hawaii and October. I should explain the edit. I rephrased the first paragraph to say, "After marrying on September 22, 2011, Sam and Jason conceive a child during their honeymoon," because the honeymoon lasted onscreen from September to November, so I realized I shouldn't have named October as the month of conception because there's no definite way to tell. But I do see that counting back 9 months from June, puts you in October, so that's probably as accurate of a guess one could make. Also the honeymoon took place in two locations; a cabin in Port Charles and in Hawaii, so I took out the location of conception as well just to make things more accurate. I was looking at the Josslyn Jacks page, which said "On March 19, 2009, after renewing their vows, Carly and Jax conceive a child during their honeymoon," so I kind of patterned the sentence change based on that. But it's fine how it is now, the sentence just went from present to past tense. I'll leave it as it is, although I didn't see the problem with it before. I just wanted to understand why it was changed. Thanks for the response. Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 01:01, June 5, 2014 (UTC)

No, no it's fine if you wanna change it back I really don't care i just changed it because it didn't make sense to me but if it makes sense to you then change it back. Your welcome for the response. Lantefan2012 (talk) 01:22, June 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * No really it's okay. I thought what I wrote made sense, but your change also makes sense, so in terms of the page, there's no reason to change it back. It's fine how it is. Plus I don't mind the edit now that I understand your position. As you can probably tell, I just like to understand things. You may want to check out the Josslyn page. I'm not sure who wrote that one though. There was an old CarJax fan editor/admin who used to be on here way back in 2009-10 when I joined and started editing. I think it was probably them. Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 01:26, June 5, 2014 (UTC)

Okay sounds good. And yeah its okay I like to understand things as well. Okay i'll check it out later. Thanks for telling me Lantefan2012 (talk) 01:44, June 5, 2014 (UTC)

Britt page
Are you clicking on a link or searching for her page? I searched for it and the page looks perfectly fine. If you're clicking on a link, please let me know where the link is and I'll see if it's any different.--Ylnani (talk) 07:57, June 6, 2014 (UTC)

Fluke
I personally would not have created one for him; but since someone already did, that's fine. When we find out who he is (which is most likely someone we already know and probably already have a page for), we can move the info over to the other person's page and delete the Fluke page. --Ylnani (talk) 05:29, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Ok yeah that's what I thought you were going to say (that's my opinion as well) and that's what I told the person who created the page. I'll leave the page for you to deal with when the time comes...if thats ok?? Thanks for the response! Lantefan2012 (talk) 19:34, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

User on Duke page
I looked at that user's contributions, and they only had a couple contributions that looked like spamming. They were both on the Duke page, and they were both done with the Visual Editor. I know that Wikia has been working on the site, and the Visual Editor in particular. Since this user has been on the wiki for a while and has never before done any spamming, I'm hoping that the two that did appear to be spam were actually just problems with the editor. I'm not sure of this, but I'm going to wait and see. If the user continues to spam, I will block them. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I have not been able to be as active on here this year because of health issues, work and a lot of other stuff going on; so, please write on my wall if you notice anything else because it emails me when I get a message. Thanks! --Ylnani (talk) 00:38, June 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay sounds good. Your welcome and i hope that everything is okay with you. I will definitely do that if i see any other problems.Lantefan2012 (talk) 18:38, June 23, 2014 (UTC)

Block user
I blocked that user :) --Ylnani (talk) 07:34, July 6, 2014 (UTC)

AJ and Courtney's divorce
From the episode transcript:

Courtney: You know, you are going to just rot in prison at the very least. If there is any justice at all, you will get the death sentence that you deserve. And you know what? In the meantime, A.J., I am going to marry the love of my life.

A.J.: Really?

Courtney: Yeah, really. Jax and I just got back from the Dominican Republic. You and I are divorced for real this time. So it's just like I said, A.J. -- you are the loser. I'm free, Michael is back where he belongs, and you -- you are stuck here in this bed with a broken back with nothing to look forward to except the rest of your life behind bars.

http://tvmegasite.net/transcripts/gh/older/2005/gh-trans-04-25-05.shtml


 * Ok Thank you for the proof. Lantefan2012 (talk) 21:36, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

Naxie
I say go for it! I don't usually patrol which pages people make, and people make couple pages for some other couples I don't think need pages. So, go ahead! :) --Ylnani (talk) 01:51, August 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Cool thanks i just wanted to make sure Lantefan2012 (talk) 01:56, August 13, 2014 (UTC)

Picture crop
I like the crop job you did on the picture for the Kring twins portrayal of Danny! What size did you crop it down to? I think it looks much nicer and slimmer in that size and it doesn't make the infobox look so bulky. Do you think you could crop the Gage and Gavin picture down to the same size too? Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 06:29, August 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks and sure I can try. Umm regarding the Naxie page I got an ok from Ylnani Lantefan2012 (talk) 06:36, August 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Great. I didn't say anything about the page existence. Just the supercouple title. It has to have a source for that because not every couple is a supercouple. I discussed that with Ylnani awhile back, probably last year I think when we were going over details for the part of the site. If you notice, most of the pages that have supercouple in the intro are also listed on the master list of supercouples and have sources through that. All the other couples are just listed as popular couples. That's why there's two sections in the template for supercouples and other couples. Nathan and Maxie don't have enough notoriety yet, to put the title on there that's all. The pages listed here on the supercouple page are the only ones listed as supercouples. Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 06:53, August 13, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! The crop looks great and I hope you got what I was saying about the Naxie page. I like Naxie too. It's just a little premature to call them a supercouple when they haven't been an official couple yet, but the page is looking great so far! Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 07:07, August 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah np. I'm glad you like it. Yeah I completely understand what you are saying about the Naxie page :) and I know love them too and can't wait until they are official. Thanks for saying that. Feel free to work on the story lines but I would really like to continue on the pictures myself because I have some really great pictures in mind and some already taken. Don't take that the wrong way please it has nothing to do with you. Lantefan2012 (talk) 07:12, August 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Don't worry I didn't take it the wrong way. I wasn't planning on working much on that page anyways. It can be your own little baby to create. Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 07:15, August 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you!!!!!! Yeah I've been wanting to create that page for awhile now soo I'm really excited to work on it. Naxie has become my new favorite couple and they aren't even a couple yet. But like I said feel free to help me out with the story lines!

Nathan
Unless I've missed something, Nathan said that he has "always used" the name Nathan West as a police officer; leaving me to believe that he just uses the name and hasn't legally changed it. They haven't said for sure. I changed it back. Thanks. --Ylnani (talk) 02:55, August 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thats what I was thinking and Ik they haven't said for sure. Ok thanks and you are very welcome. Lantefan2012 (talk) 03:06, August 17, 2014 (UTC)

Infoboxes
I'm not sure on that one. On one hand, I like the former legal parents/children in the infobox; but it could get a little cluttered, especially if there are a lot of former legal parents. Therefore, I'm leaning towards not putting former legal parents/children in infoboxes. However, it needs to be consistent across the wiki.

As far as surrogate children, I have mixed feelings about that as well. Maxie and Britt are really the first examples I can think of for this because, although Lucy was a surrogate, she adopted Serena; so Serena would be listed anyway. Since the child is not their biological or adopted or even legal child, I think that they should not be listed.

So, in summary, I think that we should NOT list former legal parents/children and surrogates in the infoboxes. Do you have an opinion on this? I kinda thought it out as I was typing this.--Ylnani (talk) 10:30, August 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that you're right and I really don't have an opinion on it I mean I'm kinda of neutral on it. Do u want to change it? or should I? Lantefan2012 (talk) 17:07, August 18, 2014 (UTC)

Silas/Nina
Can you explain why you removed the edit? They are married but not currently living as a married couple, and haven't been together in a since, in 20 years, so what happened today has to be defined somehow. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 22:51, August 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh ok if you wanna put it back go ahead. I understand what you're saying. Lantefan2012 (talk) 22:55, August 27, 2014 (UTC)

ETA: Just now saw your explanation that Nina wouldn't go under romances because they are married and vice versa, but on other pages spouses have been listed under romances as well. It's a unique situation, because they are kind of married and kind of aren't. I still think the change in relationship should be defined somehow since it has been 20 years. I'll think on it a little bit to see what the best way to do that is. Maybe it would just be better to update the text of the articles. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 22:58, August 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok cool and yeah it's a very unique situation. Yes I agree that the change in the relationship should be acknowledged, 1000%!!!!!! Lantefan2012 (talk) 23:38, August 27, 2014 (UTC)

I think I'm just going to update the text because I can't figure out a way to notate it in the infobox without it looking too redundant. The articles need updates and expansion anyways. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 23:40, August 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok sounds good and yeah they do. Could you update Sam's page too? Lantefan2012 (talk) 23:45, August 27, 2014 (UTC)

I can put it on the to-do list, but I'm not sure when I'll get to it. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 00:04, August 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * If you can't do it don't worry about it, I'll take care of it as soon as I can. Lantefan2012 (talk) 00:59, August 28, 2014 (UTC)

It didn't take as long as I thought for the Silas and Nina pages and they are already both up to date with current story. It probably won't take much longer to update Sam's page either. I should be able to do it. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 01:20, August 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok cool thanks. Lantefan2012 (talk) 01:31, August 28, 2014 (UTC)

Scribner
Done. I deleted the lesser page. Thanks for letting me know.--Ylnani (talk) 08:12, August 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yayyyy!! Thank you and your welcome! Lantefan2012 (talk) 08:15, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Carly
Hey I just wanted your opinion on something. I was editing Carly's page and I noticed there were images for Sarah's, Tamara's and Jennifer's portrayal in the section titled, "character portrayal" and it made me think that the additional images in the infobox of Sarah and Tamara aren't really needed. What do you think?--Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 04:27, August 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't know...I see what you're saying but if we want to keep the pages uniform then they would need to stay and the only reason I put them in the "character portrayal" was because of them reprising the role. Lantefan2012 (talk) 04:33, August 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh. I didn't know you were the one who put them there. It does make sense to have it there as them reprising the role, but having it there and in the infobox seems kind of redundant. I've just been working on eliminating clutter from the infoboxes so the pages look better with the tabber and I thought getting rid of the pictures from the infobox would be okay because they would still be on the page, just in another location. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 04:46, August 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh ok. Yeah I mean as long as you gonna do it for the rest of the pages. Does it being uniform matter? Yeah go for it if it works!!!! Take them out the info box!!!! Lantefan2012 (talk) 04:52, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

I changed my mind. I'll keep them and just work on getting smaller size photos, so they don't take up as much space. Thanks for the opinion. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 04:53, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

Oh ok. Sounds good. I hope I didn't say anything to upset you... and no problem! Lantefan2012 (talk) 06:08, August 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * No, no not at all. I just thought of another solution and it seems to be working well. Re-sizing the photos and getting smaller ones is giving me the effect I was looking for. Many of the full body length pics, while nice, aren't necessary and take up a lot of space. So I've been replacing some of those. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 06:15, August 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok good :) Yeah I think I get what you're trying do because if we want to add more tabbers in the future there won't be enough room so making the images smaller should help (if this is why you're doing it) and ok yeah understandable. I can help if you want... Lantefan2012 (talk) 06:22, August 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'd love the help and it's all about the layout of the page. I'd say the Dante page is a good example of what I'm trying to accomplish for most pages. The tabber is well underneath the infobox, so there's plenty of room to add more storyline tabs in the future. An example of it for a character with multiples actors, would probably be Lulu's page. I managed to get the infobox level with the tabber, so there's more room to add tabs without it looking squished or over-lapping. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 06:27, August 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok cool them I will for sure help!!!! Ok yeah that is a good example and yeah that's what I thought you were going for because stuff will overlap soon...Just keep in contact with me and keep me in the loop and I will for sure be helping :) Lantefan2012 (talk) 06:33, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

Rafe
It would only count as his last appearance if it was previously unseen footage. I believe it was just re-shown footage, something they had shown previously; so it doesn't count. The one exception I can think of that I made to this was Sonny's stepdad Deke. They reshowed the same footage a few years ago that they showed back in the 90s. I included that only because it was so far apart, but I did include a note that it was archive footage.--Ylnani (talk) 05:51, September 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok thank you for explaining it to me :) Lantefan2012 (talk) 05:56, September 1, 2014 (UTC)

Maxie
I wasn't really thinking clearly. Also, I'm all about consistency. If we're going to take the main nicknames that are listed at the top of the page out of the infobox, it needs to be done to all the other pages too. I'll fix Maxie's back.--Ylnani (talk) 07:04, September 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay. Yeah I didn't really like it at first but I can see where Sparrowhawk8 is right that those nicknames are the ones that they are called all the time...I'm all about consistency as well. Lantefan2012 (talk) 07:08, September 1, 2014 (UTC)

Names
Sparrowhawk8 and I kept running in to a lot of issues and questions when trying to get all the characters' pages consistent as far as their aliases. We decided to start a forum and bring the questions that arose before everyone on the wiki. Here's the thread and here's the discussion Sparrowhawk8 and I had.--Ylnani (talk) 11:05, September 1, 2014 (UTC)

New photo
The photo of Billy Miller and Kelly Monaco is just a manip and I think we should wait until there's a real photo to replace the one that was there before. The actual photo was of Billy Miller and Amelia Heinle and the one of Billy and Kelly was someone playing around with photoshop. It's not an actual picture. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 21:37, September 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay lol my bad. I changed it back. Lantefan2012 (talk) 21:54, September 2, 2014 (UTC)

Michael
I was testing something out on the Michael page. That is why the tabber was removed. Just FYI I may be removing it again. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 23:47, September 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh ok sorry I think I know what you're doing so okay! Lantefan2012 (talk) 00:07, September 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * No I'm sorry I realized I should've left 'test' in the summary to explain, but I forgot. If I remove it again, I'll be sure to put it back as it was, if the test doesn't work out. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 00:13, September 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's okay and Okay sounds good! :) Lantefan2012 (talk) 00:31, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

Spacing
Did you already fix all the articles that had spacing issues? --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 02:41, September 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah I did. I just reverted them and told the person why. Umm if you wanna go through them and see which looks better then go for it! Lantefan2012 (talk) 02:55, September 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * No that's alright. I was just wondering if you finished it or if there was anything left to do. I wasn't sure how many pages were changed. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 02:57, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Oh okay well thanks I think I got them all!! Lantefan2012 (talk) 02:58, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Peter Sr./Jr.
Today Maxie said Levi and his dad were dead, so I think it's alright to update those pages with that information, along with Stavros' page, until any information or hints (on the show) come out to suggest the contrary. --Sparrowhawk8 (talk) 19:14, September 16, 2014 (UTC)
