[edit] Template:Welkitia
Nice welcome! However, I don't think personal belongings such as a welcome template belong in the main Template space. Would you mind moving it to User:Kitia/Welcome?
Also, the {{PAGENAME}} variable, which you are using, can produce unwanted results:
- The welcomed user will see the {{PAGENAME}} code if he clicks "edit this page"
- If the welcome is archived, the {{PAGENAME}} variable won't make sense, since it will change to reflect the name of the archived page.
For these reasons, you should consider substituting the {{PAGENAME}}, by using {{<includeonly>SUBST:</includeonly>PAGENAME}} instead of {{PAGENAME}}. If you do this, the following series of events will occur when you substitute the template onto someone's talk page:
- {{PAGENAME}} finds the name of the user (e.g., "Jimbo Wales"). See m:Help:Magic words for more info. However, it does not make a permanent copy of this finding - it stays as a variable. If you look at the source code of the page at this point, you would see {{PAGENAME}}, not Jimbo Wales.
- To fix this, SUBST: takes the found username, and converts it from a variable into normal text. See Wikipedia:Template substitution for how this works. Now, the source code shows Jimbo Wales.
- However, the problem is that SUBST: doesn't know that you only want it to run when you put it on a talk page. In fact, it would run as soon as you made the change to the template, and result in something like Template:Welcome on the template itself. Then the {{PAGENAME}} variable would be gone, and the template wouldn't work right. To fix this, put <includeonly> and </includeonly> around the SUBST:. Now, the SUBST: runs only when you use it on a different page - the user's talk page. Caution: this only works for substituted templates! For more info about <includeonly>, see Wikipedia:Variable#Substitution.
If you want to make this change to your templates but are confused by this complicated explanation I'd be happy to do it; just contact me at my talk page. Also, you can take a look at {{subst:User:Audacity/Welcome}} or {{subst:User:GeorgeMoney/welcome}} for examples.
Thanks, Λυδαcιτγ 05:37, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- The PAGENAME thing is just a suggestion, which you can take or leave. But personal templates, used only by one person, really should not be in the template space. How about copying Template:Welkitia to User:Kitia/Welcome, and then placing {{db-author}} on it? Or, you could tell an administrator the situation, and they would be able to take care of it for you.

[edit] My RFA
[edit] {{Bhutan-stub}} and Cat:Bhutan Stubs
Why did you create this template and category? I had just proposed it this morning here, but you're supposed to wait a week after people have had their change to discuss it before creating anything. I have put both of them up for deletion here only to be recreated if they pass at the Proposals page. Please read the proposal procedure for more information.
Also, thanks for the barnstar! Amalas =^_^= 20:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Kitia 20:18, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RfA for ComputerJoe?
Hi, you seem to be trying to create an RfA for ComputerJoe. Is this intentional? Just adding the line to WP:RFA without first creating the actual nomination isn't the correct procedure. Thanks, Gwernol 19:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Also, he has to accept the nomination first before it can be put on the WP:RFA page. I removed it for now until (or if) he accepts. Thanks, Garion96 (talk) 19:37, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice, Garion. Kitia 20:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks, but I've decline the nomination. Thank you for nominating me and expressing your trust. Computerjoe's talk 07:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kingdom of Talossa
See User:Kitia/Kingdom of Talossa. In case you were curious, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Republic of Talossa for the discussion in which this came to be deleted; (apparently there was an older debate about Kingdom of Talossa, but I don't know where it was). Mangojuicetalk 03:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say in the bizarre rant you posted on my talk page, but can I suggest that if you want to conduct a meaningful discussion with me - or anyone else - on this subject you might want to at least learn to spell “legitimacy” correctly, and also maybe look up what it means in the dictionary. It certainly doesn’t have anything to do with Ben Madison’s micronation project, nor with anything “stated” in any newspaper. --Gene_poole 01:59, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] TfD nomination of Template:Welkitia
Template:Welkitia has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. Λυδαcιτγ 03:39, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sure, dear Kitia!
Of course, dear Kitia :) Any preferences regarding color, design or layout? If you don't have any, I'll just try my best, don't worry. Hugs, Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 16:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Acadame North
your support is greatly appreciated about my article, thanks --Acadamenorth 18:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Don't mention it! Kitia 18:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Example of vandalism
I removed your "nonsense typing" example of vandalism from Wikipedia:Vandalism - nonsense text is only one of the most simple and easily spotted types of vandalism, and the page itself goes into "Types of Vandalism" just below that point. Also, nonsense text has some good faith explanations, such as your cat jumping across your keyboard. ;) -- nae'blis 18:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Won't happen again! Kitia 18:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Languages
Hi There! Can you translate my name in what language you know please, and then post it Here. I would be very grateful if you do (if you know another language apart from English and the ones on my userpage please feel free to post it on) P.S. all th translations are in alpahbetical order so when you add one please put it in alpahbetical order according to the language. Thanks!!! Abdullah Geelah 20:04, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blocked
For wilfully vandalizing my userpage, you have been blocked for 31 hours. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 03:20, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alice Rockefeller
Do you have information about her accomplishments that I've overlooked? --Dhartung | Talk 04:50, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Yrjö Kilpinen
I note you merged the two entries, but made no notations as to how you resolved the two. How did you do it? What reference did you use? meatclerk 05:53, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- How did I do it? Easy. I used common knowledge. Kitia
[edit] AFD
Why do you want to delete the article list of micronations? This is a perfectly fine article. It is in good shape. There is no reason to delete it. Please respond on my talk page. --S-man 18:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, that's why you're here. You can edit articles, and i think you already know that. If you feel that some micronations are absent from the list, just add them but you have to provide a source. Or you can list them on the article's talk page. --S-man 18:48, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
-
- If there is a micronation you want to add to the list, add it BUT it has to be verified and it must have a link, a source. You can also talk about adding them on the article's talk page. ---S-man 19:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for Unblock
Please explain to me the purpose of this page? It is currently empty and I don't see what you are trying to achieve with it. We already have an unblock request system. Were you perhaps looking for that? Thanks, Gwernol 20:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you
[edit] Awards
Hi Kitia, I gave you another award, now I am the only person who gave two awards, Look Here if you dont believe me. that means...you need too give me an award. Abdullah Geelah 18:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
-
- Thanks Kitia for the award, I would like you to put it on my Award gallery on my userpage then sign it please...if you give me a barnastar I'll give another award, that what WikiFriends do!! Abdullah Geelah 18:38, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 3RR
If you don't stop your repetitious reverting of Wikipedia:Wikipedia holidays, I'm going to recommend you be suspended for violation of Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. Your additions are n ot in keeping with that page. -- evrik 20:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- If you want to make a change like the one you are suggesting, take it here: Wikipedia:Barnstar and award proposals --evrik 21:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I'm not a girl
Abdullah Geelah (sorry if I mispelled that) told me that you edited his userpage and put in that I was a "she". I'm a boy. --S-man 15:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- Did I? I meant to put that you were a boy. Sorry. --Kitia

[edit] Witchhunts
I removed your links to this from policy pages. In general, links to "essays" from policy pages are discouraged unless there is widespread agreement that the essay is germane. Since Wikipedia:Witchhunts describes a sentiment previously expressed on WP:SOCK and removed since it lacked community support, a link to your essay seems inappropriate.

- Hi Cesidio? Do you like my article on you? --kitia
-
- A little rudimentary, but if you add more to it, they will probably delete it... :(
-
- I've updated my article at the MicroWiki with some references, by the way: Cesidio Tallini @ WicroWiki.
-
- Hopefully the "Guy Upstairs" will provide reasons for amplifying my bio in the future. We are trying to make the Cesidian Root (it now has 40 additional TLDs compared to ICANN, not 39, with the new .PIC TLD) real competition to ICANN with a brilliant strategy, and if we succede in that our Internet, and the entire Fifth World, will be serious front page news. I know it will happen eventually, but in the meantime we don't know where we stand with a specific jurisdiction, and without a contract or some long-term commitment, we won't have a viable Fifth World industry producing the profits we need to get out of debt, and possibly grow in the future. A nation without an industry is even less than a postcard. A postcard exists because you have somewhere to go to, but the cyberstate of TTF-Bucksfan only exists in the Mind of God, which few are able to decipher. -- Rev. Dr. Cesidio Tallini
- Well I can only hope the best for you, the way you were treated here. Hopefully by the time yours hits the headlines, mine will too (which I dare not talk about because, well, see Wikipedia:Witchhunts). You are, in my mind, a prophet, and my new book The Little Empire That Could will star someone like you.
Best Regards, Kitia
PS- I'll add .PIC.
[edit] Weirdo Wikipedia
You said : did you added that sealand thing from my userpage?
- Um, no. I added it because I saw it on the Sealand article. --S-man 00:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC) P.S. Do you like Weirdo Wikipedia?
- Yes, I do like Weido Wikipedia. It is very creative. --Kitia
