This page was last updated on (UTC). Note that various parts may be out of date or lacking complete information, and that I have many more things that could/should go here but are in my personal notes document (I mean to transfer them, but I just write so much it's ridiculous).

Random notes
Please do not edit this list; I will update it myself. This list is always in flux, but is usually accurate to the moment, now that I have moved this over from my personal notes document. Note that it does not typically mention subsets of larger projects already listed above or within itself. Also, I include completion dates for potentially recurring projects when possible (haven't done so for parts of projects in the above table unless they're also mentioned below, though); could probably otherwise find them in histories or my contribs if necessary. Some notes could be out of date if things change after I note them. As of December, I'm basically working from my notes and trying to make a dent in the flood of things that I keep putting in. I'm really insane.

General

 * Ideas for general improvements
 * Category: images should link to the appropriate Gallery page for convenience (there are a bunch of other things like this, perhaps there could be some kind of navigation template[s]).
 * I have a halfhearted belief that there should be a category for cropped images, since it's important to distinguish those from unaltered images, and anything more than cropping gets a FANMADE tag.
 * General fun project for myself: create a compilation of every literary action in the show (reading, writing, etc.). I want to see whether there's a significant case for writing in Equestria being right-to-left, because characters often read or write that way (of course, the real reason is that the animators are just silly, but this could be fun).
 * Also, I should find all the stuff I've put on talk and forum pages that hasn't been dealt with/discussed :P.
 * Semi-large personal project: put all possible information on the comics. I mainly want to make sure all the people who work on it are included, all the covers and as much information as possible about them, etc. I can get all this from the comics, when I have them.

Galleries

 * Galleries to improve (disregarding prevalence of jpgs and badly-named files, as those are included in other projects) (in episode order)
 * missing some notable scenes, captions, looks like it needs some ordering at least at the part where the elements are getting activated
 * definitely missing a bunch. I especially noticed in the "Doing favors for Twilight" section.
 * probably some out of order, I noticed in the Dashapult section while I was replacing a ton of jpgs. Also missing some, like when Applejack's mouth was stuck to the ground, Rainbow's whole diagram thing (which was cool), and some other stuff. Not a frame from Twilight's whole thing about "you need help!" to be found. Ooh and a facehoof too in the next one. Yeah this needs expansion.
 * pretty short, one thing I noticed was no image of Gilda grabbing the wings of Pinkie's "crazy contraption" and Pinkie spinning. Oh look, another one out of order, at least in the party section. Pinkie's gallery for it seems to be lacking also, and Gilda's is the same situation as Philomena's, would be easy to find all the ones it's missing. RD's is probably missing some too.
 * pretty short. Pretty easy to find missing good stuff (though I'm pretty sure I saw Spike's zipped mouth be uploaded directly for the faces gallery). Looks like it might be a bit out of order too. Yeah, it's missing a whole lot.
 * I like Fluttershy's "that's what I've been trying to..." and it's missing a lot anyway.
 * many watermarked images, many out of order
 * needs expansion, missing some scenes
 * needs more images (Pinkie's section only has two, sheesh).
 * might be missing some (such as this one)
 * on the smaller side, and my notes say it needs more images after the reprise. Seems to be missing other stuff too, and is unsynchronized with Opal's gallery (someone also noted that it's missing her reactions to the new dresses).
 * pretty small, could certainly have many more images.
 * another pretty short one. The part where stuff is flying around after Sweetie Belle touches something would be good, for one thing.
 * extremely lacking. Could be my first major gallery addition project with all new images :P. Notably, it's missing the part with Sweetie Belle sweeping the tree and humming the CMC song.
 * somewhat lacking and could have better sectioning, and has a high concentration of malformed file names.
 * the greatest concentration of terrible names. They're mostly that "GIYC" prefixed stuff (the rest are/were low quality), and it doesn't have the greatest coverage of the episode.
 * besides having an "unsorted" section, several other sections are too short, etc.
 * many of Ocredan's images have pretty washed-out colors, not sure what's up with that. But it's kind of bad enough that they should be replaced, not sure if his contribs need a more thorough search. Also, this gallery in general is missing a bunch of fun images.
 * for some reason a bunch of ones here (all uploaded by Tulip?) have weird small black bars at the tops. Many are large size though so not sure if worth replacing. Also, Pinkie's section seems to have a variety of spellings of "balloon." And I noted that it needs image(s) of Pinkie leaving talking about a giant swizzle straw :P.
 * same as previous, a bunch of images here by Mr Brony have black bars/borders and stuff. Bunch of misnamed ones too it seems but those go in another project.
 * a bunch of ones from BluesirTheFox have weird colors. But no watermarks or anything, so probably not worth replacing.
 * some captions need fixing. If you're going to quote the song through images, at least do it with good grammar (or just copypasta the lyrics). Also, the last one links to a pointless YouTube video.
 * I noticed it was missing images of Rarity's weird wobbly smile when making excuses to Twilight after they arrive at the tower, and thought that would be a fun thing to include. Should probably check Rarity's gallery to see if someone put them there.
 * especially the latter half is missing a lot of good stuff, has not-so-great names, and isn't always used on all applicable galleries. This would be a fun one to add to, I'm just always too lazy to do this kind of thing :P. Also, I think the sections could use better splitting. Other sections might be missing good images too. Definitely the Aftermath section.
 * lots of jpgs and bad names and stuff, I assume there's probably some good images missing. Also, sections should have better names/get rid of random capitalization. And a lot of images (mainly by MetalSparkle it seems) seem to need checking for being used on all applicable galleries. One thing I noticed missing was some stuff from Pinkie's part before leaving for the search, I added the split-screen bit. Definitely missing a bunch from the beginning of the play too, including when it showed Wind Whistler pulling a thing in the background. Oh this is so bad. Character galleries seem to be lacking as well (especially RD's - it is the Rainbow Dash show, after all. Rarity's is really bad too.). And badly synchronized going the other direction as well (Pinkie's gallery, at least). And out of order (some on the episode gallery too). Ahhh "there's just so much to do!" (no wonder Winter Wrap Up is one of my favorites). Wow, it's completely missing a lot of the transitions between in and out of character and such. They're some of the most interesting non-story parts, sheesh. And also the splitscreen parts at a bunch of places (ones in the cave are still missing), I like those. Bunch of jpgs and junk at the end too.
 * the first image in "Granny Smith's story" actually comes after the story (the one that goes there would be her bouncing the chair away), and there seems to be some mixing around the end of that section and the beginning of the next. Also, I'm very surprised that there isn't an image of the map there, since I'm pretty sure it's all there was before the poster came out; maybe it's in some other gallery? :S The first part of Cheerilee's checklist was missing too, I got that. Bunch of other good stuff missing as well, argh. And this episode seems to be prone to misordering. Another fun one that's missing is the close-up of Sweetie Belle putting her hoof over Apple Bloom's mouth. Missing some from trying to harvest the zap apples (that was fun) (and also some from when they're in the clubhouse right before that), and probably some from the great Cheerilee scene. And the sepia section (lol) could probably use more captions. Maybe more images, I haven't rewatched that part.
 * despite the length, it's missing some good/important scenes. Notably, at ~10:00 with adult ponies doing stuff (some images might be in character galleries, but many are just missing).
 * Other: Rainbow Dash (duplicates/some jpgs), my notes say Look Before You Sleep character gallery sections (notably Applejack) are missing a bunch (though that fits in with other projects to expand character galleries), (missing Pinkie's antics, which are present in her character gallery; neither has a part I like where Pinkie bounces and the others follow her with their eyes, and I'm sure there's other stuff missing), Ponyville/Gallery seems like it's missing a lot of potential images,  looks like it could use expansion/fixing
 * Can go through galleries to look for bad file names once everything else is done
 * Character galleries: many sections are severely lacking. Examples I noted:, (making noise in the kitchen in the beginning, giving the nicknames, etc.), , , Derpy/Gallery/Characters making faces/Season 1 is apparently lacking many (for example, RD when Little Strongheart jumps over her), ,  needs major improvement,  seems lacking (pretty sure her category has more images than the page does and even then it's not a lot, and I don't expect the category to have all of them),  (only in one episode so far, shouldn't be hard to find stuff to expand this by a lot),  seems like it should be longer,  is missing many (for example, this one),  seems to be very lacking (and I know in particular that there are more that could be added for Luna Eclipsed, need to go through and find those; not sure about other episodes),  seems lacking (then again, so is the episode gallery.), Luna Eclipsed seems to be a prime target for being missing on background ponies galleries - I have noted Sea Swirl and Wind Whistler in particular, but I'm sure there are others (such as Noi and Piña Colada).
 * Derpy/Gallery/Characters making faces tends to have a very high rate of duplicate images. Sometimes a slightly different fame though, and that's harder to reconcile.
 * Things to add to it: there are more faces in Party of One I think, though it kind of needs a standard for the level of derp required for inclusion, otherwise I'll just keep adding all the funny faces until it's too long :P. It's missing a bunch of cider faces from TSSCS6k and Apple Bloom makes a face when she pulls the lever (at least once).

Users

 * People whose contributions I want to go through for improvement (alphabetical order)
 * File namespace only (note that while specific problems are noted, I might have missed seeing some. Lack of total categorization is one I often overlook.)
 * - names, quality, categories, maybe more
 * - just as a note, I don't think I've seen any actual problems, but his 1280x720 images are about half the size of mine. Could be lower quality? Also some seem to be meh color-corrected versions.
 * - some inconsistent problems, meh
 * - a handful of images with minor problems like watermarks, borders, etc. Looks like bad gallery use and categorization too, but meh, everyone has that.
 * - not sure and his contribs are hard to look through, but at least File:Applejack bucking a tree S2E13.png looks too bright to me
 * - various issues, including being out of order in galleries (Twilight Keen.jpg is what got it in my notes)
 * - image quality, descriptive names
 * - quality, potential gallery order disruptions (Twilight Sparkle to grab a book S1E8.png got it noted)
 * - quality, size, categories/use in galleries
 * - has uploaded a few lowish quality show images
 * - possibly somewhat low quality despite size (top border, etc.); I deleted/moved a bunch that were on User:Drkdragonz66/sandbox for whatever reason (many of them had incorrect tags because they were from the "Previously on..." part of S02E02).
 * - various ones with various issues, not really major
 * - low quality, names, etc. Highly doubt they're categorized properly.
 * - assorted low-quality and/or uncategorized images in there
 * - image quality (notably black bars); and there were a bunch of duplicates (resizes of extant images) that I deleted, might be more.
 * - low-quality, colors are off, etc.
 * - quality, names
 * - earlier uploads have some logos and stuff. Sorry Food :P
 * - only before a certain point, many are misnamed (with the W stuff that doesn't list the season number, as listed below), small/watermarked/some with off colors, some not (fully) categorized, and some misspellings. Even his current uploads have very fragmented quotes/phrases for file names, and that kind of bothers me, but it's not really an issue, and they are formatted properly now, so that's good. And the full quotes seem to be included in the galleries so yeah.
 * - categorization, at least
 * - low quality, "PNG", uncategorized. Also I saw he put the Hurricane Fluttershy ones in the wrong place. (A bunch of ones at the beginnings of the "Trying to convince Fluttershy" and "Training" sections need to be moved around.)
 * - quality (some still have YouTube interface elements, noooooobs), names
 * - unnecessarily verbose file names at the beginning
 * - some quality and name issues, noticed in MTBPW gallery
 * - low quality and probably a bunch of duplicates, uncategorized of course
 * - inconsistent quality (uploaded bad quality over good ones in several cases, I reverted them), bad names
 * - low quality etc. etc. Except the toothpaste one, being a photo and all.
 * - appears to have naming and categorization issues.
 * - names, quality
 * - confusing.
 * - image quality (mostly just small), capitalization of "PNG" (not a major issue), some have bad names, categorization, not used on character galleries - currently continuing uploads (one per day, what do you know)
 * - quality (some are distorted), some need better names, some are badly categorized. Looking through this is really painful. OH GOD HORROR EVERYWHERE
 * - only has one image, which I reuploaded; it was low quality despite being 1280x720 png. Might as well note in case he comes back.
 * - quality, names, categorization (seems inconsistent)
 * - names, quality, categorization
 * - seems to be another one-per-day questionable-quality uncategorized only-on-one-page uploader, at least recently (many older ones also have issues, though). This is when it borders on vandalism, uploading a ton of basically the same image from from each successive frame, and one per day. People like that don't care at all about the wiki, only about their personal gain of badges. How un-harmony.
 * - lowish quality (at least the dimensions are nice at exactly half), uncategorized (so probably not used on all galleries either)
 * - variable quality and name descriptiveness. Only a handful of uploads though.
 * - quality (size, watermarks, colors are too gray)
 * - many images are overly bright, and many renames capitalize the p in png, which annoys me (example of both at once: ). Also, some of his 1080p images have borders and stuff
 * - quality, black borders and stuff; might have category trouble too
 * - I see quality, names (tags), unnecessary cropping
 * - 1280x720 low-quality stuff, don't know what else
 * - names, possible duplication (otherwise need to be added to galleries), seem to be pixelated
 * - see user's talk page - I did my best to explain but the uploading continued anyway. Apparently turning to uploading probably duplicates now. Sigh...I give up for now.
 * - some images with odd dimensions and watermarks and such, and hyphenated names
 * - bad quality (despite the size), black bars, names (some missing tags), looks like they were all categorized by bots also.
 * - terrible everything, at least until May (and then I had to categorize by bot)
 * - uh, yeah, see his talk page for why there's problems. Low priority though because they look pretty good despite the *twitch*odd resolutions and editing*twitch*. Plus there's a hayload of them.
 * - quality, names, categories, duplication?
 * - names(!), categories that bots missed; quality is good.
 * - quality, names/tags, limited gallery use (and therefore, as usual, incomplete categorization. This is why using a bot alone is not the best way to do it.)
 * - image quality, spelling
 * - names (missing S&E tags), some are missing categories, watermarks (but they're almost all huge images that might not be worth replacing)
 * - potential duplicates, names, categories
 * - everything
 * - anything that's manually color-adjusted or whatever should be re-uploaded. Or maybe not, apparently that doesn't make it fanmade. Whatever, not a priority in any case.
 * - quality (all are ".jpeg"), some need better names
 * - quality (size), many are totally uncategorized (and not in all applicable galleries, as usual)
 * - many have quality and name issues
 * - quality is great, but the names are pretty non-descriptive and there are a lot. Seems to have the typical syndrome of uploading images specifically for one or two characters and so I often don't find them until I have already uploaded a new one and put it in a couple galleries, and there could be other duplicates. And the categories were done by bots so they're missing any of the poor neglected ponies in the image. Actually, some have lowish quality with watermarks and some kind of black border. Seems to vary. But in general, seems to be slightly lower quality than mine.
 * - quality, names
 * - early uploads have some quality issues and are missing tags
 * - somewhat low-quality (size, watermarks), but not a big issue.
 * - putting images in totally inappropriate places (and also in bad places in terms of article formatting)
 * - self-proclaimed "Derpy/Gallery/Characters making faces Overseer," as I recall many of his images are used there and nowhere else, and are uncategorized. Should be solved by going through the images in that gallery but might as well note it here. Seems to have good quality though, hooray.
 * - three low-quality images put into a gallery out of order with an edit each, no other edits so far
 * - caption spelling/grammar

Renaming

 * Images that need renaming
 * Lists: Forum:List of misnamed files, see below, List of ponies has a lot that need to be renamed to current names (if that matters much)
 * Generally bad prefixes (alphabetized): (ones with number junk and stuff at the beginning),  (lacks of spaces, "Apple bloom"/"Applebloom", "AppleJack", etc.),  (some with dashes instead of spaces, etc.),  (personality quiz results - people don't usually make the names at all descriptive. I'm considering proposing a subcategory for them, and perhaps a standardized naming scheme as well, though it's not really large enough a scale to justify that. Also, there are more personality quiz images than just these.),  (misspelling),  (Fleur),  ("GrannySmith, "Granny Smtih", "Grannysmith", but no "Granny smith" currently [yay]), , ,  (spelling - terrible names anyway, should be changed), ,  (various issues),  (some messy ones at the end), , ,  (several pages of ones with S&E tags at the beginning of the name, more of a bot task to rename them),  (badly named screenshot stuff),  (several badly named Winter Wrap Up images), etc.
 * Random images I find in my adventures and don't rename immediately (sorted by episode - this is getting way long and my main obstacle to doing it is wanting to be efficient. Could go by episode, look at all of them, and edit character galleries by section - I suppose that would be efficient enough. It's what I'm doing for jpgs, too. And yeah that would kind of make this section totally useless 'cause they're all already there. Whatevs, I'll figure something out >_>) (also, obviously, there are plenty more all over the place. There are a lot I found through UncategorizedImages that I didn't add because maybe I'll get to them later whenever I categorize them, if I do that. Who knows.):

 * 0223: ,
 * 0225:
 * Other: all the images on here need FANMADE I think,
 * Potential near-duplicate images: ,
 * Dilemmas: for there's a nearby frame with no credits, but it's different enough that I dunno if it would be worth replacing what's there; credits aren't really a huge deal. The images down the right of User:Applejack the pony should be renamed/categorized either Fanmade (I think so because of using show images in them) or Non-MLP images.
 * Images to be replaced and deleted:

Other stuff

 * Other stuff to do
 * Clean up videos - I don't see the point of videos anyway since they seem to be merely conduits for YouTube, which can be embedded directly with the youtube tag, and so duplication is also a high risk. Oh well, not a big issue. (Also, apparently they show up on UncategorizedFiles now.)
 * A totally new crazy idea: update all interwiki links (i.e. for every page, check every other-language version for that page, so that the list on every page here is correct). This should be added to the table near the top of this page so that people know they're updated and to what date. That is, if I ever do this project. A list of pages without any interwiki links is at Special:WithoutInterwiki, so that could be a place to start if I don't feel like doing the total update thing. Compiled from this page (and its archives), here is a list of (probably?) all other languages for this wiki: ar, de, es, it, ja, no, pl, ru, sv (as of December 4, 2012). (ar was added but the interlanguage links on its main page don't seem to be working.)
 * According to my notes, an image here is (or was) out of order. That's rather vague. Putting images in proper order is one of the more time-consuming tasks.
 * Go through all Transcripts thoroughly for any mistakes and such. This would be pretty time-consuming. Some still have actions in them or have incorrect notation and stuff, and there are other errors.
 * User pages have the most concentrations of badly-named images, for some reason. Here's an example: User:RainbowDa$h.
 * Continue going through the Maintenance section of Special:SpecialPages regularly.
 * User:Bobogoobo/Images - finish making my own format, still need to do it for awards. Etc.
 * Smaller project: go through Transcripts and put in names for any characters that don't have their actual (current) names in. For example, patients and nurses in Transcripts/Read It and Weep.
 * Work on Category:Pages that need improvement; eventually I want to go through the entirety of every page, shouldn't take too long.
 * Random thing to note: Twilight's mouth is uncolored very often. Sometimes it spreads to others, but with Twilight it's often visible even just casually.
 * I also want to fix the order and stuff in all the galleries (see Category:Galleries that need organization), but that's probably the most time-consuming task of all.
 * Also go through all main content pages and look for images that are duplicates, jpgs, etc.
 * As noted above, I want to improve Featherweight's gallery. Shouldn't be too hard, as he's specifically in a few episodes. Philomena would be easy as well, could mostly just go through the episode gallery and get the ones that were missed.
 * See if there's sufficient evidence to state that Twinkleshine and Minuette are often together (like Lyra and Bon Bon), because that's my initial impression. (Shenanigans project)
 * "Quotes" sections on pages need to be synchronized with the proper text/formatting from the transcripts (had a programming idea for this today, but not high priority).
 * Images on Forum:Speculation/Animation can tend to be duplicates and/or low-quality jpgs. Additionally, it could be a large project to go through all the Speculation fora for unsigned messages...plus people have changed others' messages all over the place so bleh.
 * Also, I will also need to check Pinkie Pie/Gallery/Pinkie Pie being cartoonish for everything, just make sure that's included when I go through galleries for stuff. Same for Derpy's gallery I believe.
 * Could have a very large project to make sure images are used on all applicable galleries (except for location ones -- still need to finish that cleanup project). But yeah there are a lot of ones that are used selectively.
 * Perhaps go through Category:Profile images (and anything that should be there but isn't categorized properly) to see if any could be higher resolution. Many of them are small and need to fill larger spaces, so they look bleh. Hard to tell by looking if someone was using a reduced size or whatever though.
 * Keep an eye on Special:ListRedirects (it's sorted by namespace) for any new unnecessary ones popping up.


 * Stuff to make sure isn't messed with:
 * User:Bobogoobo/Images - add/update as necessary
 * In general, make sure "duplicate image" crusades don't remove images that are noticeably different and are useful to have - one example is the scene from A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1 that includes Twinkleshine, Minuette, and Lyra Heartstrings.


 * Bot tasks: see Forum:Bot to-do list.
 * Replacing "PNG" with "png", "JPG with "jpg", etc. Not a big issue but I don't like seeing it in all caps, and lowercase is easier to use, etc. Replacing "jpeg" with "jpg" could also be done. As of this writing there are 1139 results for "PNG", 73 for "JPG", and 41 for case-insensitive "jpeg".


 * Good for a laugh or at least lighthearted bemusement: [ lolbots] (I'm not sure what setting those people use because mine doesn't even grab that one), (at least he isn't as bad as some of others; protip: the best way to get the badges is actually to give a flying feather about the community rather than just yourself [wasn't that a lesson in one of the episodes?]), "all we ever want is indecision" (so you know I'm not a hypocrite, here's mine. Yep. See also my blog),, whut (Food: "Next time you look at RecentChanges, don't." "Special:WikiActivity died... he was a good soldier :|")
 * I dunno where to put this, but it was fun. My removed 7,115 bytes of bad, inefficient, and inconsistent coding. That was a pretty fun project/conquest.
 * From what I looked at, this is a fine example of how not to be a new user: User:Whimgenuity.

I really need to work on the project I started. Bleh.

List of non-pony characters
I want to make one so I can easily calculate the total number of characters in the show. Shouldn't be overly difficult when I have time. I wrote a simple program that gets the number of pony characters from list of ponies, which currently is 737 (including the duplicates and such, not all of which have yet been added). Also, see Forum:List of non-pony characters (exact title I was about to create one with :P) for why this list won't be mainspace.

To do: finish table (add more teenage dragons from Dragon Quest, I need to watch to see which are characterized; Animals page; look at categories; and anything else there might be). Get individual profile images for Pinkie Pie's imaginary friends and Dragon Quest teenage dragons, and better ones for Bloomberg (if possible), Angel, Hydra, Manticore (crop it), unnamed dragons, and Crackle (crop).

Only includes characters that are specifically defined and identifiable, i.e. not species such as Changelings, parasprites, dragons, generic animals, etc. Name formatting follows the same guidelines as list of ponies does. Attributes are species - gender - age range (when known for certain). First letter is always capitalized because I said so.

Character color schemes
Just in case anyone actually looks at this - feel free to let me know if you want to see any other characters, or anything!

On favorites and other show ramblings
As stated on my user page, I do not have a favorite out of the main six characters (see below for reasons). My favorite background pony is Lyra Heartstrings - I like the potential mystique arising from her following Twilight to Ponyville from Canterlot (granted, others did as well), and from her being the same age in Twilight's flashback to the raising of the sun while Twilight was a filly (note to self: need to remember which episode this is from). Sure, a lot of background-related stuff is just caused by lack of time for the animators or whatever, but it's fun to create in-universe explanations for errors. Plus, she's always so excited. I just hope she gets future speaking roles with the same great voice, rather than a "do not want" voice like others sometimes get or some random one (having multiple totally different voices is kind of weird, for one thing). Other favorites include Piña Colada and others, mostly when I like their color schemes. I also like Sweetie Belle; she has a great singing voice, among other things, though her character in Friendship is Witchcraft also adds to my liking. I'll try to add more here as I think of it.

Why I don't have a favorite of the main six: they're all great and I love them as part of the show. They're listed here in order of introduction in the first episode, because that's the best thing I can think of other than alphabetical order. Twilight Sparkle: I think I identify most with her in terms of personality - examples are her job in Winter Wrap Up being organization, how in MMMystery she cleaned off the pipe after taking it from Pinkie, how she often prefers solitary activities like reading to socializing, her sarcastic streak, etc. Pinkie Pie: I love her randomness and great one-liners, plus the Party Cannon and such; being a crazy party-er can be fun too. Applejack: to be honest, I can't think of much that I have in common with her or that particularly stands out to me about her personality, but that doesn't mean she's at all a bad character; and she has great scenes just like anypony else, plus blonde is my favorite hair color (at least on humans). Rainbow Dash: she can be really cute sometimes, and while I don't have all that much in common with her (I'm certainly not an athlete), she has an interesting character. Rarity: I love all the faces she makes, and while again I don't have very much in common with her, I love her character like all the others (I suppose it's partly all the little fun moments [as I collect on my user page], but meh, it's hard to describe this stuff). Fluttershy: I have a lot in common with her in terms of personality, as with Twilight - I'm usually pretty quiet and prefer to avoid overly social scenarios, but can be more confident when necessary - and of course she's really cute and has a very nice color scheme, as well as, again, interesting character details. So yeah, there's a kind of basic explanation, it's hard to describe all this (or even why I like the show in general, even though I like it so very much).

I also don't have a favorite species. Earth ponies are at a disadvantage since they don't have any special powers (that are easily visible), and Pegasus unicorns are pretty much (demi)gods, but I don't have any particular preference for one species. I'm pretty interested in the science behind a lot of things in the show - telekinesis is certainly an interesting topic (see caption on my user page about when Rarity takes over control of an object from Fleur), I'm curious how flight works for a pony, etc. - but there are so many unexplained things (many of which can't really be explained while keeping any sense) and this is a kids' show after all. On that note, I like to think I would be a unicorn if I were a pony, for various reasons. I also believe all the races are equal and there is a reason that unicorns aren't "dominant." Again, hard to say since it's not a real universe and such.

Why I like the show in general: it's hard to say. As I say on my user page, I love the characters, humor, music, the innocence and carefree attitude, and various other things. Having such an active and creative community helps a lot as well, especially when its members attempt to follow the teachings of the show (e.g. the "love and tolerate" mantra). That said, I should note that I haven't taken an interest to very many fan-created works so far. As a side note, I originally did not want to use the term "brony" to describe myself, partly because I don't think the term "bro" applies to me, but I have become accustomed to its use. I have yet to come up with a better alternative, anyway. My focus on the show has not subsided after about two months as of this writing, so I hope it remains a permanent part of my life. I'm active here because wikis are in principle a prime example of what humanity can do, they combine my interests smoothly, it's one way I can easily contribute to the fandom, etc. I have a slight interest in perhaps writing fanfiction (probably something that expands upon what already exists as canon while changing as little as possible), but I don't know if I can, because my creative efforts don't tend to succeed. Same with creating a game, once I can do that (plus I'd need someone to do the art), though writing would certainly be easier. Maybe I'll try it sometime, if I actually give myself enough time, if I can think of ideas and work out decent dialogue. *ramble ramble*

One Bad Apple is a good example of why this show makes me so happy and I love the writing. For one thing, I love puns, especially when they're clever enough that I don't immediately get them (in this case, "let us [lettuce] in") and then they continue with a series of them. I loved the continuing reference to past episodes (Scootaloo's CMC initiation script using a lot of synonyms after she had called each of the other CMCs a dictionary in separate episodes). Even though this episode dealt with serious themes, it didn't feel overly depressing or heavy-handed, which I like. Sweetie Belle was cute as always, and I liked that they made her be the one who kept advising to go to an adult with their bully issues. And of course, that song. So wonderfully catchy. I'll need to wait a while for the new episode smell to wear off and watch it again, but right now it's definitely a contender for one of my favorite episodes. Also, Babs did sound a lot like Rocky, right? And I'm sure there were a bunch of other things in the episode that I didn't comment on or didn't even see that first time. Anyway, yep, that's my thoughts, I suppose. I should probably have a better place for this. Still on a pony high. :D Magic Duel was great also for many reasons. Best ending ever.

Another thing that tells me I like the show is that whenever I watch an episode I haven't seen in a while or gone through much of for screenshots, I love every part of it. This happened just today with The Show Stoppers. I went to watch just the "dumb fabric" quote for fun, but I ended up watching from the beginning and it's all so great. I'm loving this episode. Unfortunately, I really need to go to sleep right now, so I can't finish it or add to the gallery, which is severely lacking many great parts right now, so hopefully I can do that soon. I have tons to do though, so many notes to go through and so much cleanup to do. If I'm going to do this kind of rambling maybe I should put it in its own section...I'm so crazy whoOoOoOeeeEe~

One thing I don't exactly like is the number of humanisms done by the characters, which has seemed to me to be increasing in season 3. Human-like sitting, body language like shrugging and some other things which are questionably anatomically possible and make their bodies seem more human than pony, and some other things. Use of tools is a big one, where you don't always notice at first but when you look at a still frame it makes no sense because things are just sticking to their hooves with no external influence. I realize it may be hard to do many things without being able to have that ability (unicorns shouldn't really have the problem, of course), but it's happening a bit too often for my comfort. I dunno, just a random thing i was thinking about; I don't know how big of an issue it is to me, and my pony feelings right now are pretty jumbled up. I think I watched Sleepless in Ponyville at a bad time in terms of my mental state, because I wasn't as impressed with it as many others seem to be. I need to redo it later.

Another thing I'm slightly concerned about is that the episodes seem too short. Keep Calm and Flutter On is a perfect example. It's a great episode, but the true turning point of the episode (and a very emotional scene) is immediately followed by the conclusion, the momentum spontaneously stopped. There's way too much missing information and exposition and without imagining those details yourself, the episode is unconvincing. Maybe I'm just greedy for more pony, but I think the episodes could easily be twice as long (or at least some of them) and would be better that way. As long as the animation doesn't suffer (on that note, I'm pretty sure I still notice uncolored mouths all the time while watching. Bleh. Also on that note, I loved all the gags with Discord. That was done quite well.). Also, the Wilhelm is a little distracting. Three times in a season, and they didn't use it in the first two. Strange decision. Etc.

On the bright side, Just for Sidekicks is pretty much the most adorable episode ever (I really want images of some parts for my user page, at least). Great episode. Also, what drunk monkey did they hire to do the credits? Sheesh. For the record, I loved Magical Mystery Cure. I thought they did an excellent job with it and I don't have anything in particular to complain about. It remains to be seen what things will be like starting next season, but as the Lyra shirt I wore for today's occasion says, I Believe.

I'll just put my customary "etc." here to cover this whole section of rambling. I can just type and type and type and not really say anything useful. Blah.

Rants on the wiki and such
As of 10/18 I need to and will stop checking all the changes; I can no longer maintain this level of activity. I will go back to working on my cleanup projects as much as I can. As long as I'm doing something to help organization and such. Edit, nope, I can't look at RC at all. It's so annoying and there's so much stupid, unconstructive, and just general messy stuff. Maybe it's just because I'm tired, but I just can't take it anymore. I've written over 340,000 characters of notes (just random notes to myself in a text document) in three months, and a lot of that is wiki stuff that needs to be fixed. There's just way too much and I need to stop torturing myself with it. There's no point. Part of my mental workings is that I hate when I'm only partly active in a place, but it looks like that's what I have to do here if I want to continue helping at all. I'll see how I feel about things and how they go. Please leave a message on my talk page if you need to get my attention, as I will not be omnipresent anymore.

Another part of this situation is that many people on the wiki are so immature, bad at editing, or just ignorant that quality just keeps declining. Even disregarding my personal preferences, there's a select group of people (with fluctuating membership) that actually improves the wiki, and if we could limit editing to them, everything would be so much better. Things could actually be improved instead of stacking bad contributions on top of everything all the time. Maybe this rant isn't accurate, maybe it's just my perfectionism, but whatever, I'm getting really tired of this wiki. But I still want to improve it, because I do love the show and everything, and wikis are the best way (and my preferred one) that I can contribute I think, so that's why I'll still be here. Because I care and I actually know how to do things, and do them well.

I apologize for seeming (or being) rude quite often. I now know that people see my edit summaries and such more often than I figured they would. Because I'm not very active on the wiki in general now, most of my messages are left when I feel strongly about something, so they may not be the nicest. I always feel bad when people get upset but I do get so into keeping things neat and such. So bleh, not sure how I could improve things.

My reaction to people not using wikilink format: :P.

Other

 * Another idea for a fun thing to go here: a sortable chart of every episode and its focal character(s), main themes (keywords?), and anything else notable. The intention is to make it easier than searching the ol' memory banks. Probably make it a subpage for easier searching.
 * Also maybe add the page counts and statistics stuff I have on my CN Wiki sandbox (see here).

Statistics
I wrote a program to count the number of entries in Special:Log, and contributions. Currently can search any particular log or all logs for any particular user or all users, on any Wikia wiki. Let me know if you want your stats, it's quite easy to run. Note that many contribs, deletions, moves, and deleted contribs may include stuff from moved comments due to software bugs. I really hate that my statistics (and the wiki's in general) are skewed because of stupid bugs. Anyway, here are my statistics, as of 11:20, February 19, 2013 (UTC):

Results for Bobogoobo on mlp.wikia.com (Total log entries: 4323):
 * Blocks: 50
 * Chat bans: 0
 * Deletions: 1949
 * Moves: 584
 * Protections: 30
 * Uploads: 1127
 * Contributions: 9,430 (683 deleted)

Results for Lyra Botstrings on mlp.wikia.com (Total log entries: 744):
 * Blocks: 0
 * Chat bans: 0
 * Deletions: 624
 * Moves: 116
 * Protections: 0
 * Uploads: 0
 * Contributions: 3,734 (188 deleted)

Fun fact, I accidentally tried to make it run for every single log entry on the wiki, and ended up with an HTTP 503 error after about 20 minutes of running. I dunno how many log entries there are, but I guess Wikia doesn't want me to see them (all at once). I even got the same error trying to count all my contributions manually. Could also be a limitation in Python's thing, I guess.

And here's some more, this one gets byte change statistics from Special:Contributions. Here are mine as of 01:32, July 6, 2013 (UTC):

Byte change statistics for Bobogoobo on mlp.wikia.com:
 * Positive changes: count 8991, total 4134206, average 459.82.
 * Null changes: count 2049.
 * Negative changes: count 2560, total -1535193, average -599.68.
 * Net change: 2599013. Average change: 191.1.

My merchandise
List of merchandise I own, for fun. Formatting to come when I decide how to do it. And links maybe (that would get long if it's not internal links, bleh). Man I love lists and collecting things. And pretty code.

Vinyl figures: Derpy, Rainbow Dash. Crystal Pony keychains: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie (no others released yet).

T-shirts: "Keep Calm and Brony On", "Dumb Fabric", "I Believe (Lyra)"

Blind bags:
 * Wave 1: Lily Blossom (#8), Fizzypop (#11)

Comics: issue 1 covers A–F box set (first printing), issue 2 covers A–C

Misc: Season 1 DVD, DJ Pon-3 tin, Rarity earbuds, Rainbow Dash necklace (it seems to be sized for kids but hey it looks cool)

Enterplay trading cards: Collector's Tin (includes Collector's Guide/poster), Fluttershy Box (another series 1 guide/poster and a Fluttershy sticker)
 * Series 1: see below for list
 * Series 2: see below for list

Pretty sure that's it so far.

Wish list: Fluttershy vinyl (not the translucent/"crystal" one); future keychains and vinyls (for characters I care about, sorry Doctor :P); more Enterplay cards (and related releases - the six-part case looks nifty for the main six S1 promo foils); more comic issues, will have to pick which covers I want and try to get them :P; the promotional appearance of the comic Issue #1 cover set if they ever release it; Lyra blindbag(s) specifically, but any blindbag would further that collection; 4DE plushie, maybe (dunno if the size works for me, even though it looks sweet; when shipping doesn't cost half of what the plushie itself does); etc.

Appearances
So that the templates aren't listed as unused:
 * }
 * }

Misnamed files
These can usually go on Forum:List of misnamed files eventually, though some I'd prefer to do myself so I can make sure they're done right/well. Many of these are taken from a larger list generated with a broad search term (case insensitive unless otherwise specified) and manually refined (when necessary), but some have specific functions for them. The prefix links above will also yield results. Note that lists may not include matches made after their creation. Subsections mostly sorted in order of addition.

Also I put the major OCD ones here because they don't really matter to fix. Except to me. :3

Dimensions
File names with dimensions in them; search term "x" (that turned up a lot of stuff). These really annoy me for whatever reason so here they are. Note: be cautious with files that begin with "xxxpx-" because they are almost always reuploads of other images (because NOOBS EVERYWHAR don't know how to get the full size or just to use the freaking original image), and if they're from this wiki it's usually very easy to find them (just remove the prefix in most cases, and if it doesn't exist then check for a deletion log). Many are likely from other wikis and it shouldn't be too hard to find the full version and upload it (not exactly worth it especially for personal images, but meh). Just a note for anyone else, be careful if you're renaming an image to one with larger dimensions and the page doesn't specify a size for the thumbnail.

lol
This is mainly for "LoL face" ones, because I think that's a silly and undescriptive file name. It's part of the talking animation cycle, so come on. Also includes anything else the search with "lol" turned up (will remove any irrelevancies later), since those are probably bad too.

"[character] and [character] [tag]"
Another request by Steph. NOTE: short of detailing the code, I'll try to explain its shortcomings. I generated a list of character names from all pages in Category:Characters plus some abbreviations I could think of easily, then had my program create a list of the possible combinations and check every image for containing one of them. Therefore, this list could potentially be very incomplete due to missing some alternative names, abbreviations, and characters without pages. It also will not match if there is something before or between the character names. This won't include ones without tags because I included the "s#" in the search to make sure it didn't catch descriptive ones - I could get the list and remove stuff manually if there's a large number of them.

Untagged ids
It seems to be current accepted consistency/policy that ID images should be named "File:[character] id [S&E].png" (note that id is lowercase, though this list won't yet include ones whose sole offense is being uppercase). Actually, lately I prefer ID, capitalized, now. But we don't have any official policy (note Throwy's objection). So here is a list of the ones that don't have tags. It may difficult for some to figure out which episode to look in and at what times, which is part of the point of having a tag. Also, the only searches were "id " (manually filtered) and "id." so any other patterns will need additional runs (such as ones with just the character name, which would be much harder to find but can be partially completed if I do an upgrade to the function used for the section above).

Also anything in Category:Profile images should follow this format, plus stuff that's used on list of ponies, character pages, perhaps Forum:PonyComparison pages, and maybe characters (still working on ideas to improve the format of that). Some people seem to have trouble doing this. There are others that are a description of the character that should be updated to the current placeholder name, if available. If not, list them for renaming when it is.

Will definitely want to re-run this one after updating all the other files names (many listed on on the forum page).

Context importation
This is the MLPFiM wiki. We don't need to say "MLP FiM" or anything like that in file names. Same as we don't need to make a page title, for example, "Rainbow Dash (G4)" rather than just "Rainbow Dash" because this is only for the current generation; that kind of thing. In decreasing order of terribleness. Kind of.

And blegh, I'll just leave this link here, a bunch of stuff in there probably needs improvement. Especially those advent calendar ones, serial numbering at the least.

Adventures in Ponyville
Subsection for this highly neglected corner of the wiki. Just look at this, most of them need improvement: Category:Adventures in Ponyville images.

For this section, they can pretty much just have the "MLP" removed and they'll fit with the rest of the / images. Those probably all need improving at some point. Maybe.

Tagless images
Images in Category:Episode images that do not have a season or episode tag in the commonly accepted format (see below for list of possibilities checked). Category:Characters images was skipped again due to a very large number of non-episode images (my ideal plan is to have subcategories for merchandise, fanmade, etc, so I could get an accurate list (and just for better organization), but that project is a long way off.).

NOTE: this may occasionally match incorrect tags. For example, "S3E2" is in "S3E23", so it will count as valid even though there are only 13 episodes in season 3. I'd need to do something else to check the tags. It's definitely possible, and there are a few things that will need something like that, so maybe that will happen eventually.

Note to self: just let it get anything that doesn't match the uppercase next time. Will be a more complete list.

Others
Anything else, sometimes added individually. Often have other problems too. Added as I find them in other searches. Etc. Also, I have a ton of these noted in my notes document over time...could go through sometime maybe :S)

"Child": I'm pretty sure "child" is a human term. Of course, two of these are Luna quotes, and two others are adjectives, so...

 * File:Pumpkin Cake S2E13 Eating Towel.png
 * File:Pumpkin Cake S2E13 Eating Turtle.png

Everything here. Curse you Wikia staff :P

Other projects:
 * Images on list of ponies should all have "id" in them.
 * I want to work on characters, but those should probably have id too, at least the ones that aren't used in the divs.
 * There are a couple people who uploaded a ton of crappy wallpapers with stupid names. They should at least say "wallpaper". Or just delete the entire fricking thing. Here is one person's: User blog:Spottedlions/Wallpaper
 * And there's always more to do. See the bottom of here for another thing to work on, still need to work on my code more.
 * More to check: (better here than in my "notes") bonbon / bon-bon / bon bon (update list in forum), anything else for the primary name thing like Carrot Top and others, aj and Aj (and aJ) case-sensitive (it should be AJ or just Applejack), Armour (you don't even have the British spelling excuse because that isn't his name :P), "thats" ("lets" too?) for the contractions, any variations of "mlpfim" or whatever in file names (in the middles, once I clear out the above section a bit), aaand more in my notes of course!
 * Things to search again periodically: "mane 6" or any variant, ` and ´ and double apostrophes, missing apostrophes/misspellings/etc. (that's harder), "[c|w|sh]ould of", extra spaces (before or after quotes and extensions), mis-capitalization (e.g. "Pinkie pie", "Applebloom", etc; could [should] be done with DPL), things starting with "image" (just something to check on every once in a while), ...

This is a categories thing, all the episode navbox images: need their categories checked. Many of them are in the Applebuck Season category because some bot derped.

(Lol I'm getting even more rude lately because even though I like working on the wiki and I've come back to more activity because I can't help it, it's partially at the cost of pretty much abandoning college, and I really can't do that. Plus I just can't stand all the people making messes everywhere, as I've said.)

(Etc.)

Source comparison
See also User talk:ImperfectXIII

As much as I hate the headache, this is kind of important. But I think there are way too many variables. There's the rendering method, any visual effects or other settings, differences in the source files caused by whatever does that, differences in capture methods, etc. Here is another comparison: I got the season one DVD and opened it with VLC. It appears that the image is lower resolution but the source file does not have that cropped effect (most noticeable on the storybook sequence in the first episode) and the colors are less grayed out. I didn't change any VLC visual settings between these two images, so there's at least some kind of control between these two. VLC snapshots: [ digital] (resized to compare more easily) and DVD. However, who is to say that the DVD is the most official? I mean, they used Cadance artwork on one of the discs and it's only season one. But I dunno. Whatever. Just leaving this here for reference. Guess we'll want to wait for Blu-ray anyway (unless that makes it cropped?). Yeah, I don't want to think about this situation anymore.
