I can help you unconditionally built your userpage if you want. Miskin 20:30, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey thanks buddy. I'd thought you'd hate me by now. I'd just like to use this oppertunity to say that I am quite sorry if anything I said may have been insulting. I fully appologize, I've got nothing personal against you. Sometimes I just get a little too heated in some debates and I usually regret it later. Anyway thanks again and I have left the Thermopylae article to the admin there, I guess I was a little too rude and now I'm not wanted there. Anyway, when I saw Scotties page, I noticed he had a whole buch of these cool diagrams. Like the one that shows he is from Australia. Do you know how to get some of those pictures or are those only belong to the admins? Thanks in advanced buddy.
PS: whatever happened to that beast you had on the page eating a little human. --Arsenous Commodore 22:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry, no offence taken. Getting overheated over content-disputes can happen to anybody. In reality I'm a nice person, and apparently so are you. Anyway those diagrams are called userboxes and they can be used by anybody. After all admins are nothing but wikipedia editors as well (eventhough some tend to forget that). There are hundreds of pre-made userboxes ready for you to use, just scroll down to the bottom of the WP:BOX page and choose from a category. Scottie's userboxes lie somewhere there. Next to each premade box there's a template code which you have to type into a page in order to make the userbox to appear. You can make various tweaks, such as placing it on the left or right side of your screen. You can also make your very own userbox, WP:BOX describes all that in detail. PS: The picture of the beast is still there, explore my userpage by clicking on the links listed next to the old woman. Miskin 00:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Perfect! Thanks a lot for your help Miskin, my page is actually looking quite nice now. Thanks for teaching me the tricks, I now have a better understanding of how to use these newfangled things like userboxes. I appreciate the help. And yep I certainly found that beast we were talking about. By the way how long have you been on Wikipedia as a member? A couple of years, or more recent?--Arsenous Commodore 16:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I think almost two years as a registered user. Miskin 12:43, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greco-Persian Wars

I created the articles in the warbox after seeing the (then) massively empty warbox at Second Punic War. I do have every intention of creating articles where the red links are, but I am not capable of doing so right now because I have started studying in a foreign country, away from ny text resources, and am quite busy. I am not sure if Greco-Lydian conflicts are worth more than a passing in a article in the Greco-Persian Wars, hence I have not included them here. There are also other battles not included in the box like between Macedon and Artabazus in Hennea Odoi, and perhaps the sieges of Halikidi should be merged. I you wish to create the articles go ahead, my usual tactic is to expand existing articles with references etc and I intended to this first with articles like the battles of Alexander the Great or the Messenian Wars before creating new articles. Currently though I will be able to do few things. Our conflicting wievpoints on numbers help give the articles greater authority Ikokki 11:48, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
