[edit] Emma Watson Reverts

Hi! Just letting you know, I had to revert your changes to Emma Watson. Per Wikipedia's verifiability standards, a fan forum does not constitute a reliable source. Feel free to restore the data with reliable reports. :) RadioKirk talk to me 18:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello! Apologies, but I've had to make further reversions to Emma Watson. Two links for one piece of data is almost never needed; IMDb is fan-edited, and is not reliable; and her height is fancruft and would never go in the lead line anyway. Write me with any questions. :) RadioKirk talk to me 20:32, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: How did you become a Wikipedian/Administrator?

Wikipedian: I started editing and learned from there, like you're doing. Administrator: Someone nominated me, and my peers felt I was ready. :) RadioKirk talk to me 21:08, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

It's not a quick process; it usually takes several months and thouands of edits. The best way is, make good edits, make yourself familiar with Wikipedia policies, read and take part in administrative functions, like the administrators' noticeboard and vandal-reporting, and you may be there someday. Thanks for writing! RadioKirk talk to me 21:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Hello, Jhfireboy, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you will enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! You can sign your name on talk and voting pages using four tildes, (~~~~), which produces your username, the time, and the date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- getcrunkjuicecontribs 21:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Internal links

What page are you working on, and what are you trying to link? RadioKirk talk to me 18:17, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Go into My Preferences, click the User profile tab, and include your changes in the Nickname field. If you use any tags, like internal links and <span>, for example, you'll have to check the box that says Raw signature. RadioKirk talk to me 18:26, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage header

Fixed (it was "UserPage", not "Userpage"), but now you'll have to format it to fit :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 18:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: RC patrollers

Well, technically, anyone can patrol Special:Recentchanges, a lot of people use it to catch more vandalism more quickly. If you don't have popups, however, it can be very tedious. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 20:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Table on List of characters in the Harry Potter books

Hi Jhfireboy. I noticed you started to make a table of all the characters listed on the page. I think that, instead of slowly making the table in the main namespace, you finish it elsewhere and then bring it to the article. However, I am first and foremost concerned if we even need the table at all. It's a very colorful addition, I admit, bringing photos of the characters and writing brief notes about them, but it's just not necessary. This is a list – not a table of contents. It's simply an index of every character in the series, with a link (if existant) to more info about them. So, I'm going to revert your edits. We may very well end up creating the table, but I'd like to discuss this first before bringing it up. As I said, though, if we do decide to create it, why don't you make it on a user subpage, such as User:Jhfireboy/HP Characters Table or a subpage of the article talk, like Talk:List of characters in the Harry Potter books/Draft? I hope you understand: this is a major renovation that needs to be talked about first. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 03:07, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd also like to point out that most of the images you have in User:Jhfireboy/HP Characters Table are fair use. Looking at policy rule 9, fair use images can only be used in articles, and if it would be best on the individuals' pages, not on a combined page like that. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
