How do I get rid of the little cross at the top of my page?--Darkest Hour $$$$ 21:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah how doi rid my self of it? Just a question.
- You can't remove it but there are ways you can hide it. Why do you want to do so, it really is quite useful? Also, you had the magic word __NOEDITSECTION__ on this page, which was making it really hard to respond to you here, so I removed it. If you wish go ahead and re add it, but I do not recommend using it on a talk page. Prodego talk 21:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I just want to try it out. Because I am always wanting to learn something new. could you please let me know?--Darkest Hour $$$$ 21:20, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well to hide it you need to do evil things like css hacks, which will not look right in some skins and browsers. It is also very advanced editing, that I would not recommend you try yet, but if you want to see how you would do that, take a look at the administrator globe in the top right corner of my userpage. The code for it can be adapted to cover the plus sign. Prodego talk 21:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes but HOW? --Darkest Hour $$$$ 21:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- It would take a while to code it. However it would look something like this, and would break your page for about 30% of users.
<div style="position:absolute; z-index:<insert>px; right:<insert>px; top: <insert>px; background:#F8FCFF; height:<insert>px; width:<insert>px;">
And you would need to insert numbers (found through a lot of experimentation) where the <insert>s are. Even then it would not work for many people. Therefore I would not recommend you try to do that, since it would mostly be a waste of time. Prodego talk 22:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hey DH
How's your editing coming along? I'm sort of getting myself organized to start writing some things. I notice you've learned a lot about Wiki - much more than I have, or at least in a different way. I have a proposal. Would you like to mess around with my user page and make it pretty? You can just go off on it - but try not to get to extra-fancy with hidden stuff or anything like that. If there is anything useful you might like to add, that would be great too. How does that sound?
Let me know, NinaEliza 21:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I just reorganized your talk page archives. The procedure is at WP:ARCHIVE. Cheers, -- THLR 22:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks!
That was very helpful and useful. You would be really good answering questions at the help desk.
Well, my user page (like just about everything) is work in progress. It's been through a lot of changes, and it's certainly going to go through more in my time here.
Though I want my user page to be pretty and useful, I've only got so much time and very little natural ability in the area. Spending an evening (or seven) working on my user page would kind of depress me, because there are other things I want to be doing.
Really, it's a standing offer for whenever you get bored. Experiment, try out new things, do whatever you feel I would enjoy. If it doesn't work out, it can always be changed back. I doubt you'll go wrong.
Again, thank you for the useful suggestions. It seems to me that you're doing great and having fun learning new things.NinaEliza 22:52, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Happy Death Day
Between two and three in the morning, December 13, 1799, George Washington woke his wife, complaining of severe pains. Martha Washington called for an overseer, who inserted a lancet in the former president's arm and drew blood. Over the course of that day and the next, doctors arrived and attempted to ease General Washington's pain by applying blisters, administering purges, and additional bloodletting, altogether removing perhaps four pints of Washington's blood. Medical historians generally agree that Washington needed a tracheotomy (a surgical operation into the air passages), but this was too new a technique to be risked on the former president, who died on December 14.
