User talk:Scrumshus

Re: A short little question

Hey Jimbo. Before I say I say anything, this is one fine website you got here. :) Okay, the question. Well, on your infobox, you have three userboxes. I thought it would be a good idea to put some userboxes in my infobox. However, when I did get around to doing it, all of my ID box content was shifted up, so it wasn't centered, and it created a thick grey line between the info and ID content. Can you tell me why? And, if it's not to much trouble, can you tell me how to fix it so the ID content is centered? Because right now, it looks less than fabulous. Check out my userpage so you can see what I'm talking about. [1] Thanx for reading, Jimbo. Scrumshus 18:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Not to be discouraging, but often times Jimbo isn't able to respond to comments on his talk page (he's a busy man after all). So, if you want, I can fix it for you. -- joturner 19:31, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I figured it out, I guess I forgot to delete my comment,. thanx anyways. Scrumshus 19:33, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

About the outlines

Joturner, I really like your Userpage layout, so I decided to put a page outline on mine. However, when I did, it didn't outline the enitre page and has a huge blank spot in the middle of it. How do I fix it? I'm only 13 and don't understand WIkipedia's complex stuff for the most part. If you can help me, that would be great. Scrumshus 20:19, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I tried to fix it for you. By the way, you can link to pages on Wikipedia like [[Wikipedia]]. If you want different text to appear than the name of the place you link to (like this link: my user page), you can type [[User:Joturner|my user page]]. -- joturner 21:38, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, man. I owe you one. :) Scrumshus 22:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC

You can use {{quotation}}. Type something like {{quotation|To be or not to be}} to get the desired effect. -- joturner 22:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Will do. :) Scrumshus 22:46, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

You can do [[School of Rock|<font color="red">Dewey Finn</font>]], although I must warn you that red links - like gdkhagkjdshgjksah - tend to indicate articles that don't yet exist. -- joturner 00:52, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! Why can't more people be as helpful as you? I'm nominating you for an administrator on August 17th. Scrumshus 00:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Nice implementation of his page design man. It really doesn't look that bad. The only thing that I would be cautious about it the userboxes. Someone might come by (someday) and try to put them all on a subpage. Regards, Alphachimp ^talk 19:14, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

LOL. Sure, I guess that would work =D. Alphachimp ^talk 19:21, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I corrected the problem with the Music link. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 23:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Re:Barnstar

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		I award User:Tariqabjotu a random act of kindness barnstar for helping me out on my userpage many times. You earned it! Scrumshus 19:21, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks; it's no problem at all. I added your barnstar to my userpage. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 19:30, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Show/Hide

Hey Tariqabjotu, not to be burden, but you do know Wikipedia a whole lot better than I do. i was experiementing with those windows that you can 'Click to Show' and 'Click to Hide'. I made a successful one a User:Scrumshus/Userbox mini. However, when I tried to work it into my inofbox on the left side of my userpage, it wouldn't cooperate. I tried working it inot my alternate inofbox, but it didn't work either. If you follow my links, you'll see what I'm talking about. Can you help me fit my Show/Hide bar into my inofobx? Thanx, Scrumshus 17:06, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I may have fixed the infobox situation. However, you may need to change the sizes of surrounding elements to make your page look okay. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 23:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not too good at wikisyntax, but I made some changes and it looks like it works now. The userpage does not seem to work well at an 800x600 resolution, however; I'll try to look into this later if I find time. If you need any more help, feel free to ask me. -- Where 04:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: This user is also an american idiot

Really? You made that userbox? That is so damn cool. Which leads me to my question. How'd you find my profile? (Unless your userboxes track which users use 'em). And I'd also like to say you have a real cool userpage. It really looks nice. VelocityEX 05:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Green Day good article

I really do want to get it listed as a good article again, but I don't think it's ready yet. We still need a lot more citations, cut down on the info for each album (the album pages can be used for that), cut down on POV and fannish writing (which got it delisted in the first place), and so forth, and because of this it would probably be automatically denied if we listed it as a good article nominee. I'll work on it some more in the next few days. WesleyDodds 21:38, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

it really goes in-depth into the songs and other material about the albums that are best reserved for the album pages themselves. For comparison, look at The Smashing Pumpkins, which I've worked heavily on. WesleyDodds 22:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Basically we don't need to go in-depth about the individual songs. WesleyDodds 22:54, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Current mac project collaboration

The current WP:MAC collaboration is Apple II family. Please devote some time to improve this article to featured status. — Wackymacs 14:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: You did it again :)

Scrumshus, you violated the fair use policy again by inserting Image:Apple Safari.png into User:Scrumshus/Random project [2]. I removed it from the page [3]. I know you know these issues now, let's just be a tad bit more careful, ok? :) All the best, --Durin 16:50, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

D'oh! Sorry, on other userpages it had the Firefox logo, so I assumed that the Safari logo had an open copyright. Should've checked the 'page first. Sorry for the minor error.

A Couple Questions

I have seen you around and I have the American Idiot userbox you created. I was wondering how you got obtained the code {User American Idiot}. I have recently created my own userbox and would like to get a code like that but am not sure if I have to get a template page or what. Also, you have Top 10 Websites on your User page. Are we allowed to have those on there since that could be considered advertisement? I would add one too, but I am not sure if it violates the rules (my page needs a major revamp).

Re: About your signature

What I did was I put User:Orfen/Sig in the signature box in My Preferences using the template {{User:Orfen/Sig}}. I then checked the box underneath it that says Raw signature. It says no templates or whatever but when I saved it and checked in my sandbox it started to work so everytime I type the "~~~~" it will come up as my sig.  Orfen ^{User Talk} 00:30, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Image:Greenday_Mud.png and Image:Aimovie.jpg

Hi, Scrumshus. Do you know who created theses images and theirs copyright status? The "source information" you provided was only a direct link to a jpg scan of a magazine's page, where no info on it's creator and copyright status could be found.

And please not that the {{Magazinecover}} tag is not appropriate for this images, as they are not magazine covers being used in articles about the magazine issues. Thanks, --Abu Badali 17:00, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, is there an image tag that says something like "This image is in a magazine article" or something? Because the cover thing was the closest I could find. As for the creator, wouldn't the magazine editor be? I'll add that.  Scrumshus ^{Talk to me 18:15, 1 October 2006 (UTC)}

Being in a magazine article is not a source/copyright info in itself. But magazines usually containg the copyright info on the images it uses. You should check that in the magazine and, if the image is usable on Wikipedia, add the information (and a proper chosen tag) to the image's page.

Also, note that {{promophoto}} is intended for promotional material. If this image really belongs to "Guitar World/Legends magazine" as you told, it's not a promotional photo (as this magazine is not a source for greenday's press kits). Make sure the copyright info is correct and, if there's no suitable fair use claim applicable, the image should go. Best regards, --Abu Badali 21:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, this link says that the photographer is Adrian Callaghan. Is he the copyright holder? If so, then what tag should I attach to the image?  Scrumshus ^{Talk to me 23:45, 1 October 2006 (UTC)}

Attach the {{imagevio}} tag, as Adrian Callaghan works for Retna, a image licensing agency. --Abu Badali 23:50, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I just noticed the image at this link is not Image:Greenday_Mud.png nor Image:Aimovie.jpg. Did you mean another one? I've reverted the "no license" for now. Let me know if you need any help. --Abu Badali 11:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

The link that I gave you says "Adrian Callaghan" on the side of the photo, and means that he took all of the photos for that article.  Scrumshus ^{Talk to me 15:25, 2 October 2006 (UTC)}

I believe that reffers only to the image it's attached to. Either way, the image is in need to be deleted :( , as it either a imagevio or have an unkown copyright status. --Abu Badali 15:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello there

Hi. I don't believe we have met before, as I have just stumbled across your signature on WP:GAC, and being intrigued, clicked it. What I was brought to was a masterpiece in User Pages, and I would like to congratulate you on creating such a piece of work, and would like to inquire tw things: 1) Did you create it and 2) Where can I get one?

Re: Userbox

Well, I think I found your userbox when I was searching for some in the gallery. It was so long ago, I can't remember, but I probably found it on some person's userpage. If I find who's it was, I'll tell you. Thanks - The RSJ 01:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and I saw your sig. Thanks for the "BORДT" welcome =P The RSJ 01:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

link colors

Hi, its me scrumshus again, all grown up. I was wondering (since you're the most knowledgable person i know on wikipedia) if there is a way to change all link colors in a page. not each link seperatly, but as a whole, because on my page, the blue links dont reflect on the black and gray too well. thnx for reading, Good 'Ol  scrumshus ^{Talk to me 23:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)}

There might be a way with Cascading Style Sheets, but I think some of the functions to do it are disabled. There might be another way, but I don't know it. -- tariqabjotu 23:23, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

green day image

You said: "WHY was the green day image taken off its page? it was under promo photo and had the correct license and rationale. U2 has an image like that, yet THEIRS isn't taken off. how is this image replaceable? obviously it sint because they're havent been any"

Please read WP:FU. Did you provide any evidence that it would be impossible to create a replacement image of this band? That is, that the band has broken up? If not, it is a direct violation of WP:FU. Note that the U2 image is similarly marked for removal. Even if it were not, the fact that another image violates WP:FU is grounds to fix that image, not to violate Wikipedia policy elsewhere. --Yamla 23:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
