July 7th, 2013 ~ Pictures/Talk Pages

The last few days I've been improving image quality and increasing size on many of the CGI images (mostly from Chipwrecked). I haven't went through the 80s since I don't have any quality video or know where most of the images come from in order to replace them, sorry.

I've been patrolling around and I've deleted talk pages from deleted fan fiction and other articles and files. Nothing too interesting this time.

June 6 - 7th, 2013 ~ Pictures/Episodes/VHSs

UPDATES BELOW!

Today I formally ended my picture categorization project and started another: creating pages for The Alvin Show episodes. Five have been created so far: Good Neighbor; Ostrich; Squares; Sam Valiant, Private Nose; and Overworked Alvin. Some future pages might look more like templates due to conflicting information but will nevertheless help contributors add to this generation. For those interesting in reading and/or editing these pages, the formatting is as follows:

  • Plot: This section gives the overall story-line dealing with the section of the episode dealing only with the title.
  • Characters: This section is for characters in all segments.
  • Musical Segments: This section contains two segments. Below the name of the song is the plot of that segment.
  • Clyde Crashcup: This section should contain the plot of the segment.
  • Trivia: Any interesting fact dealing with any segment of the episode.

I hope these edits puts interest into this generation. I know that I'm already excited to go through the rest of the episodes. I'm hoping that with more knowledge available to everyone, fans can put more pressure on Bagdasarian Productions to release the episodes. We'll see.

I also just finished my VHS creation project with the addition of seven new pages.

June 14th, 2013 UPDATE

All episode pages for The Alvin Show have be created and progress on filling them with information is steadily moving forward. I'd like to send a special thanks to Rugratskid for allowing me to use his personal collection of segments and for his video uploads. Creation of these pages would have been much more difficult without his help. All episodes can be found of the List of Alvin and the Chipmunks episodes.

Munkapedia strives for equal representation of each generation but, in order to do so, must rely on people with proper knowledge of the generation. No editors for the generation = inadequate information.

Creation of new articles will not stop at just the episodes. In the future there are plans to add new character and song pages. Those character pages created can be viewed on the Characters page.

May 17th, 2013 ~ VHSs/Books

Today I added eight VHS pages and have been organizing the list of VHSs. Though these pages are starting to get more difficult to create, I'm hoping to finish soon.

Today I also helped break the ice into an area of the franchise that wasn't represented well on Munkapedia (or even a project planned by me at this time): books. Ten new articles covering some of the Alvin and the Chipmunks books were created and a list of books page was created to easily navigate to them. Eventually, when more articles are added, navigation between the books themselves will be put into place. At this time it would not be a good idea to create this navigation since at least half of the franchise's books are not represented here yet.

May 7th, 2013 ~ Actors/Voice Actors/VHSs

Today I have finished my project started about a month ago reformatting and creating uniformity on the actor and voice actor pages. I have added the creation of VHS pages to my projects list and I am on the road to completion with five new pages. One of the franchise's most important songs, Call Me, was also created and finished a couple days ago. More on the way, see ya.

Apr. 27 - 28th, 2013 ~ Songs

Updates and formatting of existing song pages is finished. All existing song pages should include album, episode, or film information, lyrics, a video, and whether the song is an original or cover. Work on the List of The Chipmunks and The Chipettes songs has stalled but will continue after I finish a couple other projects I'm currently working on.

I have completed the creation of nine new song pages (all originals): Captain Chipmunk, Pump, Pump, Pump, The Alvin Twist, Wonderful Day, Come Get It, Ain't No Party, Brothers & Old Boots, Japanese Banana, and Rock the House. Enjoy!

Mar. 13 - 14th, 2013 ~ Site Formatting/Pictures/Episodes

UPDATES BELOW!

I'll start with some site formatting. About a week ago the main page received a makeover along with some site improvements. Those improvements include:

  • User titles next to user names can now easily be changed (only by Admins of course).
  • The "Contribute" and "Edit" drop-down list no longer have to be clicked, just hover above them with your mouse and they all become visible.
  • As you scroll down a page, a "Back to Top" button will appear in the bottom right on your Wiki menu bar. Save some scrolling and click to be rushed to the top of any page on the Wiki.
  • Notice the clock at the top right. It doesn't match the clock on your computer. This clock has importance because every time you sign with your signature, the time-stamp is in (UTC). The new clock will help you determine how long ago someone posted a comment.
  • Talking about signatures, I have also created an automated message that will alert you if you have not signed your post when you try to publish a comment. If you chose not to add your signature, you must acknowledge that you are violating Wikia policy. This only applies to Talk pages. If this message appears when editing a blog, you can ignore it.

Yesterday I spent a good deal of time on pictures. A couple dozen duplicates, recolored images, and very obvious fanfiction images were deleted. I've also began the long process of categorizing all the images on the site gallery. Those categories created can be found in the Images category.

I was also creating a new template to remove extra coding and space on episode pages while improving their look. Part of this transformation included the removal of the "contents" list. The pages are small enough that there is no need for the space these lists created. I'm also reviewing mechanics and adding links and slideshows where needed. I'm only two seasons in so far for this update.

Questions, concerns, or want to help, feel free to let me know. See ya.

Mar. 16th, 2013 UPDATE

All the above work on the episode pages is now completed. Many new categories for images have been created and pictures will be added to them over the next couple weeks.

May 11th, 2013 UPDATE

I've added a couple little features to make life a little easier. The first is a page that automatically searches for duplicate images and displays them on one page as a substitute for the special page. And the second more helpful addition applies to the Search tool. This tool has been improved to make your searches more accurate by including the article's title in the search and also easier by including search options right below the search bar.

New Search Results

July 28th, 2013 UPDATE

I have some new formatting here:

  • The UserRightTitles feature I added back in March was replaced (in addition to the InactiveUsers feature) with the newer UserTags. This newer version reduces conflict and has more customization abilities.
  • An auto refresh feature has been added to the Special:WikiActivity, Special:RecentChanges, Special:Watchlist, Special:Log, and Special:Contributions pages, refreshing the pages every 30 seconds. This feature can be turned off individually by unchecking the box next to the Auto-Refresh text.
  • Lastly, a new Ratings feature has been added to the Episode Guide template to place a five-star voting option on all episode pages.

July 31st, 2013 UPDATE

I have a great addition I wish I found earlier for you guys:

  • The Message Wall Greeting. In the past, you had to know that this feature existed and exactly how to create the page to use it. As a result, I was the only person on the wiki that possessed a greeting to editors. That has all changed. I have added an editing button to everyone's message wall that will allow you to easily edit your greeting, in addition to displaying the greeting's history page and something I didn't know existed: the message wall history page. I find this a cool page since it tells you every comment made (including those removed, with the reason for doing so) and the page lists everyone who has commented on your wall.
  • I also have a new set of personal tools to very quickly revert bad edits and delete pages. Vandals and spammers beware: you create an account with this purpose in mind, you and your edits will be history with a single click.

Feb. 18 - 19th, 2013 ~ DVDs

UPDATE BELOW!

The last couple days edits were flying as I added 19 new DVD pages, created and improved navigation between them, revised and created related infoboxes, and reformatted the DVD section of the List of VHS and DVD releases.

Mar. 2nd, 2013 UPDATE

All episodes that have been released on DVD can now be found easily on the List of Alvin and the Chipmunks episodes page by looking at the furthest column on the right. You can also look in the Trivia section of the episode page to see which releases that episode is on since they are now all updated. I'll try to tackle the VHS's in the coming month.

Jan. 18th, 2013 ~ Categories

Today I finished my previous work correcting categories and organizing them. As a result, the proper content category tree for the Wiki was created. This project included extensive outlining on paper and edits on the computer. Those categories that were duplicates, irrelevant, or not needed were removed or marked for deletion. All categories are now part of the tree. Please do not create additional categories if they are not needed.

Dec. 4 - 6th, 2012 ~ Songs/Albums

UPDATES BELOW!

I started a blog post on Tuesday with the goal to rid the Wiki of Title only pages. Work is nearly completed. As a result, new song pages were created. A list can be found on the bottom of the blog just mentioned. I have modified nearly all existing song pages to be similar in format and to include correct lyrics and a video. I'll be working on correct categories at a later date. Two new albums, The Chipmunk Adventure: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and Chipmunks Christmas, were also created.

I have created two new list pages: List of The Chipmunks and The Chipettes songs and List of VHS and DVD releases. The first is under construction and will be for a good deal of time. I ask with all respect that no one edits this page until I finish it. I wish to be sure no formatting errors occur and no information overlaps. Thanks for the understanding.

The second list page was to assist in shrinking the Alvin and the Chipmunks page. The main focus of the page is the singing group, so there was no need for VHS/DVD releases to be on the page. I also removed the other characters that were on the page for they have their own pages to describe the characters. They can now be found through a single link on the page to the Characters page. I'll be adding the imitations that there on the page to the In Other Media page, which can also be linked to by the Alvin and the Chipmunks page.

I am currently doing some organization of albums. There is one category now for albums, Alvin and the Chipmunks albums. The rest of the organization is only on paper at this stage and will be a topic for later discussion.

I have also added a projects section onto my user page so everyone can now see what I am working on, what I plan to work on in the future, and the goals of my mass editing.

Once the first project mentioned is complete, I plan to only work on the list of songs.

Right now I need a break. See ya!

Jan. 2nd, 2013 UPDATE

The Music Overhaul project is nearing completion. I am just waiting for SJ4evr to look over questionable pages and delete fakes.

In other music news, I have created three new albums (more to come): Christmas with The Chipmunks (2010), Greatest Hits: Still Squeaky After All These Years (2007), and Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks Soundtrack. I have also created some new song pages (still more to come): Thank You, Acceptance, Ho Ho Ho, In the Family, and Chipmunk Fun. The full list of ones I have created is here at the bottom of the page.

I have started song category work: Original songs and Cover songs have been created to ease the confusion of which songs actually belong to The Chipmunks and The Chipettes. I've also been added songs to the Songs category and separating them into the following categories: Chipmunk songs, Chipette songs, or Chipmunk and chipette songs. Every new song page should have three categories: Songs, (Chipmunk songs, Chipette songs, or Chipmunk and chipette songs), and (Original songs or Cover songs). Only add the last if you are certain that the category is correct for the page.

Now to the meat of the music projects. Progress on the List of The Chipmunks and The Chipettes songs is slow but moving forward. I have many songs on the page as of now. I plan to include information such as singles, reissues, and originals in addition to what is defaulted on the formatting. I plan to conclude this project by Summer.

Some miscellaneous edits include updating information, such as History and Awards, of the Alvin and the Chipmunks page while furthering the shortening process, move the imitations to the In Other Media page, and working to make operation a couple countdown clocks for some big events coming up for the franchise.

There is still MUCH work to be done and if you would like to know how to help, let me know. I'm out!

Jan. 8th, 2013 UPDATE

The Music Overhaul project is now complete.

In other music news, I have created five new albums (more to come): Merry Christmas from The Chipmunks, The Chipmunks Greatest Christmas Hits, Club Chipmunk: The Dance Mixes, When You Wish Upon a Chipmunk, and Here's Looking at Me!. I have also created some new song pages (still more to come): Bring It On, It's Ok, How We Roll, Get You Goin', and Kiss the Girl. The full list of ones I have created is here at the bottom of the page.

Editing of the List of The Chipmunks and The Chipettes songs is still moving forward.

The volume of edits will decrease dramatically as classes have started back up, though I will still be here everyday.

Jan. 18th, 2013 UPDATE

I have created five new albums and editing others (more to come): The Chipmunks Sing Alongs, The Chipmunks 35th Birthday Party, Chipmunks in Low Places, The Chipmunks Rock the House, and Rockin' Through the Decades (album). I'm nearly done creating new albums. I have also created a few new song pages (still more to come): Coast 2 Coast, Mess Around, Get Munk'd, and Country Pride. (By the way: The Chipmunks singing country songs is very entertaining. Just sayin'.)

I'm expecting there to be drastic changes to the List of The Chipmunks and The Chipettes songs in the future. It's getting too large, complex, and time consuming, so changes are a must.

Jan. 27th, 2013 UPDATE

I have created five new albums, finishing the list of albums: Solid Gold Chipmunks, A Chipmunk Christmas (Soundtrack), Urban Chipmunk (album), The Chipmunks See Doctor Dolittle, and The Chipmunks Sing With Children. I haven't created any new song pages.

All albums now have a CD infobox, intro, original track listing, reception, and reference sections. Billboard 200 completely changed their site making many of the links in the Reception section dead-end. I'll change these later.

The List of The Chipmunks and The Chipettes songs was drastically changed and is nearly complete, surprisingly.

Nov. 10th, 2012 ~ Episodes/Navigation

Today's edits weren't major but the number of them was: approximately 175. These edits had to do mainly with the tops of the episode pages. A link for the list of episodes was added to every page while fixing the links to the TV series pages. Minor mechanics were also fixed.

I can finally say that all the extra information that was on the old version of the List of Alvin and the Chipmunk episodes page is now on the individual pages. It's a great deal of time going through all the episodes. I have also edited the plots of some of the episodes. Some plots were long enough to be mistaken for two hour movies. A couple others I lengthened. The perfect length for a regular episode plot is four to six correctly written sentences. Most of the pages could use editing of the plots.

Lastly, me and SJ4evr have fixed the Simon Alternate Identities page. If their are ones I've missed, please add them. I've also edited the other pages to make them all uniform.

I now plan to take a break (let's see how long that lasts).

Nov. 8th, 2012 ~ UserBoxes

These edits had to do mainly with UserBoxes. I have fixed the mechanics of most of them, but more importantly, I have created some new ones for you guys. I am still creating a couple more, but I have now finished Fav The Chipmunk Adventure and Fav Chipwrecked for Favorite Films. I have also created Simone IS Simon for those who have read the article and agree that they are indeed one. I am open to suggestions for making these UserBoxes look even better and suggestions for new ones of your favorite film. Hope everyone enjoys using these new ones!

Nov. 5th, 2012 ~ Redirects

These edits apply to redirects. I have added many unnecessary redirects as candidates for deletion. Those needed were fixed (including a critical Simon redirect), in addition to a handful of double redirects. I'm in the process of working with SJ4evr to fix a double redirect preventing the creation of the Simon Alternative Identities page. Once this is fixed, I will being editing the page.

Note: If a redirect is not necessary, do not create one! Three redirects that are all misspelled are not needed. Please be sure spelling is correct when you create a page.

Nov. 3rd, 2012 ~ Galleries/Categories

Today's edits had to do with the main characters. New gallery pages were created for Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor. Alvin and Simon already had seperate gallery pages. "Also see" sections of the articles were updated to include links to the galleries, couples, and alternative idenitites. I am currently in the process of organizing catagories and removing those that are not needed. I have fixed some episode pages and I hope to get back to fixing them sometime in the next week. Have a great day editors!

Oct. 14th, 2012 ~ Organization/Deletions

Today's edits made had to do mostly with smaller pages. These edits included adding two new categories, adding some pages as candidates for deletion, organizing, adding internal links, removing some unnecessary external links, and fixing minor errors.

The two new catagories are as follows: Lists and Title only pages. (Yesterday I created a new page called List of The Chipmunk Specials and Movies to shorten the very long List of Alvin and the Chipmunks episodes page.) (The pages with just a title and no information were added to this new catagory. I didn't add them as article stubs since I was not sure if these pages are needed and wanted to make finding them easier.)

The pages added as candidates for deletion are in the catagory for them. Reasons were attached to all candidates. Most common reasons were duplicate or irrelevant pages.

Most organization had to do with the Alternative Identities pages. The episodes were ordered and internal episode links added. (Simon is the only character without a page for some reason.)

Minor edits included adding talk topics for whether a character page was relevant (no info related to Wiki in articles), removing broken videos, eliminating unnecessary information, fixing mechanics and spacing.

Thanks.

Oct. 12 - 13th, 2012 ~ Episodes/New Pages/Navigation

I have made a very large number of edits in the last 24 hours. All these edits had to do with the 80's episodes. These edits included improving navigation between episodes, adding episode identification, creating pages for episodes that did not previously have one, deleting broken videos/links, and fixing minor errors.

These new pages include (in order of appearance) -

SEASON 6: Alvin in Analysis, Once Upon a Crime, The Phantom*, Mad About Alvin*, Uncle Adventure*, Luck O' The Chipmunks, Theodore and Juliet, The Amazing Chipmunks*, Theodore's Life as a Dog, Queen of the High School Ballroom, A Special Kind of Champion, and Alvin's Not So Super Hero*. The episodes marked with a "*" were classified as stubs though all episodes could use some more information (even those not listed).

SEASON 7: Home Sweet Home, All Worked Up, Bye, George, A Day in the Life, Like Father, Like Son*, Too Hip to Be Dave*, Hearts and Flowers, Maltese Chipmunk, Unfair Science, Shaking the Family Tree,Inner Dave, Three Chipmunks and a Puppy, Phantom Of The Rock Opera*, The Return Of Uncle Adventure*, and The Princess and the Pig*. Again, the episodes marked with a "*" were classified as stubs though all episodes could still use more information (even those not listed).

Links were added to the List of Alvin and the Chipmunks episodes page. I still hope to condense the page for it is too long.

There are still more than two dozen pages that only have a title. I hope to find out what they are for and if they are needed.

I hope these edits help everyone find episodes easier, thanks.
