Talk:Herobrine

Deletion of Page
I was browsing the wiki, and decided to go to the [minecraft.gamepedia.com/Entity_303 Entity 303] page. I noticed it was deleted, because it violated Rule #19 (now Rule #4): no hoaxes/legends. This definitely falls under that category, and thus I believe it should be deleted. TySkyo (Talk•Contribs) 17:11, 10 July 2016 (UTC)


 * . Did you clearly see the top of the talk page? -BDJP (t 17:46, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Brocraft Stream Footage found?
Curious, I decided to try and search for the original Brocraft stream, and I found a video on YouTube which shows what seems to be exactly this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LXE-FKSv8c Is this legitimate footage? The sound was taken out and replaced with just creepy ambience, and the footage was only of the Herobrine sighting and nothing else, but I do believe this was the original footage. It even included a part at the end which wasn't documented anywhere: The streamer running out of the room, and straight into a lava pool, where he turns around right before dying to see Herobrine again, watching him. Someone might wanna add this into the page somewhere. ISmile02 (talk) 06:27, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Sadly, this is a fake. --Kizzycocoa 01:13, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

1.11
The Changelogs section needs updating for 1.11. As far as I know, the removal of Herobrine was only mentioned in the tumblr feed, viewed via the launcher (same as 1.7.2 etc.). – DelboyDylan (talk 19:25, 1 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Added to editcopy. – DelboyDylan (talk 08:52, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Found two poor copies of the stream
I found two poor copies of the stream on Youtube, however they are of poor quality and without sound. An original copy is yet to be found, still.

Here are the links:

JA links
Please add a link to Japanese version.-- Beans1512 Talk/Contribs 11:41, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * For an admin to add an interwiki, they must know the name of the page. Since most of them probably do not speak Japanese, you will need to provide a link on this talk page that they can copy and paste. The BlobsPaper.png 23:58, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Herobrine in Japanese name is "Herobrine" as it is.-- Beans1512 Talk/Contribs 07:43, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Quote being overlapped
The quote "It has been reported that some victims of torture, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not..." is overlapped by the image File:HerobrineBrocastCreepyPage.gif. -Xbony2 (talk) 11:19, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

No longer a legacy account
I decided to look it over again. The statement which I previously added is no longer the case: the API no longer returns. Plenty of speculation can be made from this, which I won't engage in here. In any case, you can see the old archive from 15 Feb 2015 10:38:23 UTC and a fresh archive from just now; some time in the past two and a half years the account was migrated (and that strongly implies active use). The statement in the article should probably be updated (though, it'd be great to have a more precise date). --Pokechu22 (talk) 06:53, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

No capital “a” in “after removing all non-alphabet characters”
In the section “Origins and popularity”, just before the quote there is no capital “a” in “Below the face, there are a jumble of characters and letters. after removing all non-alphabet characters, the following message is revealed:” --Cherryblossom000 (talk) 07:17, 25 July 2017‎ (UTC)

Czech interwiki
Please add an interwiki link to cs:Herobrine. Thanks! | violine1101(Talk) 16:47, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Bump. | violine1101(Talk) 14:42, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * This has been added to the article. --Kizzycocoa 22:33, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Entity 303
Should I start a sandbox about [//minecraftcreepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Entity_303 Entity 303]? – Dentedharp90041tce 14:08, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Is it recognized by Mojang in any way? If not, I personally don't think it deserves a page on this wiki. --Pepijn (talk) 14:32, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Mojang somewhat recognizes Entity 303 because Notch tweeted something related to it (can't cite sources due to gphelp:Gamepedia AWS Migration). – Dentedharp90041tce 23:43, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd say no. Doesn't deserve any mention.  I'm the maintainer of wiki.vg's Entities article.  No entity 303. --Pokechu22 (talk) 23:51, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you please state your reason of disagreeing? – Dentedharp90041tce 00:37, 17 October 2017 (UTC)


 * We only have this page because Herobrine has been repeatedly referenced by Mojang. As a rule, the wiki does not document community fanfiction/creepypasta/hoaxes/whatnot. I'm not sure why the migration would prevent linking to Twitter, but a single tweet isn't likely to be enough justification for another exception to our policy. -- Orthotopetalk 03:22, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Photoshopped image
On the article, there is the image file:screenshotttt.png, captioned "The image Copeland photoshopped, which led to him starting the hoax stream"; I think the image should be annotated (either in the caption or drawn on the image) to mark where Herobrine is. It took me a couple minutes to find him.Slscool (talk) 20:57, 11 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I think images from other people must not be edited unless they will give us permission to do so. Therefore, it should not be annotated. – Dentedharp90041tce 10:29, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Archival of the talk page requested
I would like to request the archival of this talk page. I have been away from moderation for some time, and do not know how to do so myself.

I have combed through each issue, and have applied fixes as I saw reasonable. I have also merged the editcopy with the main page, and will refresh the editcopy immediately after posting this comment. I'd like to try to get this page to a new, refreshed point. archive the talk page that has gone on for 2 years, and bring in a clean slate page. Could an admin sort this out for me? --Kizzycocoa 22:33, 7 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I archived anything older than 6 months, not sure I want to archive anything after July since they are still recent topics. – KnightMiner  t/c 00:23, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, though the topics of Deletion of Page through to Quote being overlapped are also older than 6 months. should they too be archived? --Kizzycocoa 00:28, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Misplaced category "Users humor"
At the bottom of this article, there is a Category:Users humor, which seems to be a category for userpages instead of articles. - Sonicwave ( talk &#124; edits )  00:14, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Incorrect Respell
According to the respelling key, it should be ʜᴀʀʀ-oh-ʙʀʏɴ instead of ʜᴀʀʀ-oh-ʙʀᴇʏᴇɴ. --Mocha2007 (talk) 19:49, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
