Welcome
Hi, welcome to Total Drama Island Fanfiction wikia! Thanks for your edit to the Total Drama Holidays page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Kenzen11 (Talk) 03:33, July 28, 2010

To link to an article on this wiki, you don't need to copy the whole URL. All you need to do is enclose the article name in double brackets, e.g. Total Drama Holidays. (The reason you don't see a link here is that I disabled the wiki markup so I could show you the code.) Gideoncrawle  I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

I'm willing to help make the table thing on Total Drama Space... Or anything other formatting. Just let me know.--Pinball1106 02:30, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

That's the reason I didn't message you back at first. XD Didn't know who you were. XD Anyway, simply scroll your mouse over onto the "community" button. Don't click it. A list should pop up. Once you do, look at the bottom and you should see the "Chatango" button. Goldenshane 22:52, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

When you mark a page as a candidate for deletion, just put the deletion tag at the top of the page. You don't need to remove the existing content, and you shouldn't if you're marking someone else's page. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  01:04, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

You know what Jax? That's not a bad idea. And they'd be able to see it, if they read all the way to the end. I like it! However, to be fair, I have to take it up with the committee. Jake R -Professional Troll. 01:58, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Ok. The committee liked your idea. However, it's going to be like:

"By *name of user*. Also writes/wrote *insert story or story names here*.

But the idea was loved. Nice job, Jax! Jake R -Professional Troll. 05:10, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

You're so welcome! XDDD Dun stop! If you have found this, you are a stealth ninja. Where'd my signature go? 00:44, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I was just leaving. XD Sorreh. :P If you have found this, you are a stealth ninja. Where'd my signature go? 00:52, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Well hey there, Jax! Yeah... about the writing, I haven't started it yet. The thing is, I'm really busy. That, and I'm lazy. I really want to do it, but I know that I'll just stay there all day, and this isn't my computer as I'm using my mom's and she really needs it a lot and my brother also has to use it as well, so you can see where I'm going with this. I'm getting a computer very soon, though, so I'll start then. Don't worry, I've thought of some awesome ideas that still go along with the plan. If you're going to lie to an all-knowing admin,  you should at least put some effort in it.  03:21, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate your vote on the Featured Quote page--not just because you voted for my quote (although that was nice) but also because the FQ page as a whole has been starving for attention this time around. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  06:36, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Featured Character also uses themes. In any case, I don't think that's the problem, because the two votes in January had a very broad theme (i.e. finished stories) and no theme at all, respectively, and neither attracted more than a handful of nominations.

I love your Jax's Jolly followers title. I'm going to join right after this message, but I'm wondering if more folks might see your post if it's at the bottom of the list. Anyhow, I'm glad you're there! :) JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Lady Gideon  05:39, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

When you mark a page for deletion, please don't replace the existing content; just add the deletion tag at the top of the page. That way, it's easier for the admins to determine whether there are any character pages or other support pages that also need to be deleted. Thanks. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  23:59, March 19, 2012 (UTC)

Jax, you are assuming facts that are not in evidence. I did not ban Ryan for his opinion, but for the way he chose to express it. I made that VERY clear, and the difference is critical. And just because you don't agree with my decision is not in itself evidence that my actions were in any way improper. You defend his right to his opinion but are apparently unwilling to give that same consideration to Michael, for no apparent reason than because you agree with one and not the other. And I didn't think for an instant that Ryan "stood alone". Indeed, Michael's shameful social media lynching suggests that Ryan's attitude is all too prevalent, but I can't make disciplinary decisions based on who might agree with the offender. In any case, disciplinary actions are supposed to be private matters between the admins and the person being disciplined. This is not your business. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!

Do you plan to do anything with The Drama Project? You created the page 8 months ago and still haven't posted anything but a logo and the statement of the premise. In effect, the page has been nothing more than a placeholder, and this wiki doesn't allow placeholding titles for extended periods. If you plan to post the story, then I need to hear from you within one week, otherwise the page will be deleted. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  05:03, May 26, 2012 (UTC)

No, you would only mark it as a candidate for deletion to bring it to the admins' attention. Since I'm the one who brought the matter up, we don't need that formality. I've been deleting stuff all day anyhow, so I'll handle it. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  01:27, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Where'd my signature go? 22:39, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

My first thought is that it would belong on Camps, but I need more info. What would the participants in this tournament be doing? Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  05:31, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

My page is VERY lonely. xD I should get a job, But I'm, like, Way too lazy.  05:17, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

Song Tournament
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Your song "tournament" doesn't really sound like a camp--the number of participants isn't fixed and they wouldn't be doing anything creative, if I understand the situation correctly--so it would probably be OK for a blog post. I will say, though, that if you're using a traditional sports tournament format (with two entries going head to head and the winner advancing) then 18-22 isn't really a good range unless you want to give some of the songs a free pass (called a "bye") in the first round. If you're not giving byes, then you'd want the field to start at either 16 or 32. You could also start with 24 if you wanted three in the finals, instead of two.

As for your other question, all four elements of my signature come from the Gilbert &amp; Sullivan series of comic operettas. (The G&S operettas would be called "musicals" if written today, and indeed they greatly influenced the development of the modern musical.) My username comes from an obsolete element of their operetta, Ruddigore. (Click here for a tongue-in-cheek "Short Attention Span" plot summary that explains, among other things, where my username comes from.) Indeed, the reason I chose "Gideoncrawle" as my user name was so I could use an obsolete Ruddigore verse (which also appears at the top of my User page) as a signature of sorts for my compilation, Total Drama Island, by Gilbert and Sullivan, which is what I joined the wiki to promote. TDI-G&S, to use the standard abbreviation, won Featured Story in June 2011, although it's more a work of scholarship than a story. (If you're not familiar with it, It uses over 8000 lines of G&S verse to retell the canon TDI story arc in an inventive new way.)

The second and third elements of my signature ("I have a song to sing, O!" and "Sing me your song, O!) come from the same song in the G&S opera, The Yeomen of the Guard. (Click here for the Short Attention Span plot summary) The first two verses of this song appears in TDI-G&S as the theme song for the Cody/Gwen relationship. (Although it's neither here nor there, the convention in operas is that most of the songs don't have titles, so the first line serves as an unofficial title.)

The final element of my signature ("A wandering minstrel, I") comes from a song in the most popular G&S opera, and one of the most popular musical theater pieces of all time, The Mikado. (Click here for the Short Attention Span summary, and here for a children's book adapation of the Mikado story written by Gilbert himself.) The song is Trent's theme in both TDI-G&S and LTDI.

So there you have it: probably more than you ever wanted to know about my signature. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  07:04, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

Hello! So, chances are, you're subscribed to either Toad or I. I just wanted to remind you that the first chapter of Total Drama Arcade, "Level Up," has been posted. Be sure to read and comment on the talk page! Thanks. Keep calm... And may the odds be ever in your favor. 22:23, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

Do you have any plans to continue Total Drama Space? It hasn't had a significant update in a year and a half, so it's become a candidate for deletion. If you plan to continue this story, then I need to hear from you and/or your collab partner within one week, otherwise it will be deleted. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!

Hi Jax! For the Summer Schedule, you signed up to read three chapters a week, one from each team, though if you are reading a story that is already going you may have to read a little more chapters. You still have two chapters left. Reading closes at Saturday at Noon. If you fail to read the amount you are supposed to, two points will be deducted from your score. You have a 1 1/2 days left. :P -- If your undies are tight, it's uncomfortable.   If you're a boy and your bra is tight, I'm uncomfortable  04:35, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Jax, don't use profanity in your edit summaries--not even with asterisks. The edit summary is what shows up on the Activity Feed and the page log. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  01:11, October 30, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I misspoke. For some reason, I thought it was an edit summary for an article edit. But as you noted, blog comments have the same problem. The first 20 words, give or take, appear on the Activity Feed because the wiki software treats blog comments like new pages. That's also something to keep in mind if you're the very first to comment on a story's talk page. Depending on how you start a page-creating comment, there would be the possibility of giving away a spoiler. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

No, I hadn't seen it. I just now pulled it up from the page history and skimmed it. Yes, the portrayal of me was definitely a parody; and no, it doesn't bother me.
