Userpages

I've seen amazingly awesome User Pages. They use buttons like "click this to leave a message". Can you help me to do this? Or maybe show me a tutorial? Thanks! --Cremepuff 01:43, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I reformatted your talk page according to Wikipedia customs. If you don't like it, please let me know. You can click "Edit" when you see a userpage you like, and copy the code for your own use. Remember, everything on Wikipedia, includes the userpages, are licensed under GDFL, so no one will fault you from imitating them. Indeed they'll probably be flattered. Xiner (talk, email) 01:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Sure I will adopt you, but please note that I'm a fairly hands-off kind of teacher. I will most likely give you an assignment every couple of weeks or longer, and of course am always available for questions, but I won't pay much attention to your edits or introduce a Wikipedia topic every other day. So if you are fine with that, place {{Adoptee|Xiner}} on your userpage and I will put you on mine. If you're looking for something else, feel free to seek another adopter -- there are many excellent teachers here. Xiner (talk, email) 02:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Welcome

Here's your first assignment, and remember, you can end the adoption at any time. No hard feelings. Anyhow, please read my user page, particularly the section on user warnings, and place a warning on the sandbox as if you were warning a vandal for the first time. Xiner (talk, email) 02:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Btw, I understand that you may not want the number to appear, but people remember you by your signature and they won't be able to look you up easily. Also, it's nice to put a link to your talk page in your signature. Just something to consider. Xiner (talk, email) 03:12, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


When did you join Wikipedia?

I joined Wikipedia in the beginning of 2006, so ask me about something that you have a problem with or just to say "HI! at my page at User:Trampton , oh yeah!When you need help on a file put "help me" or contact me and I'll help you.(Trampton 10:37, 13 February 2007 (UTC)).

Look at the new boxes i have on my userpage!!

Your userpage boxes are GREAT!!--Gotnos 01:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

User boxes

Frostbite musicion band green pie

Hmm, I don't see any gaps in your user page. I use Firefox at 800x600. What're your configs? Btw, please leave messages at the user talk pages, not user pages. Xiner (talk, email) 23:28, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem. This is weird - I see your problem in IE 7. I also see that the Babel/language userboxes on my page are way off to the right in IE, too. I'll have to ask for technical help at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) and IRC. You could ask at the help desk. Xiner (talk, email) 23:50, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

If you're on my nerve, I asked for it, so don't worry about it. The signature thing is easy. Wiki code works in signatures, so just click Edit on any page where someone left a nice signature, copy the code and change their info to yours, go into your preferences, paste the code in the appropriate box, and check the "Raw signatures" box. Xiner (talk, email) 01:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Very nice. And thanks for making it easier for everyone else! Xiner (talk, email) 01:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Barnstars

Sorry no one's interested in the userbox question yet. WP:Barnstars are randomly awarded to people. Some give them to their friends, which devalues the award, but it's still nice to get one. Don't get discouraged, though. I've made nearly 8000 edits and have only ever gotten one, so it's really the luck of the draw if you ever get any. I know I've given quite a few out -- may you can do the same and hope one day the karma comes back for you! Xiner (talk, email) 02:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

On the talk page of the person you're giving it to, yes. For example, the other day I was bitten by some over-anxious editors on a page. I didn't feel like fighting with them -- heck, if they don't want their page improved, that's their problem -- but I was hurt b/c I really wanted to help. The next day, I had a disagreement on another page with someone else, but that editor accepted my suggestion just like that after I explained my reasoning. It made me feel really good again, even though he was just doing what he's supposed to do, and so I gave him a barnstar. Xiner (talk, email) 02:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Does this work?

Hi Nick! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Computernurd22 (talk * contribs) 22:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC).

Please check the edit history for the changes I made. Xiner (talk, email) 00:10, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd prefer if you post it on WP:SAND first. That way, if you make a mistake, there's no harm done. If you think you know what you're doing, however, feel free to show me a diff of what you did. Xiner (talk, email) 00:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Please show a diff like this one, insert an argument in the warning for the page the user vandalised (eg "|Articlepage", and remember to sign your message. Thanks. Xiner (talk, email) 00:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Have you tried adapting a template with an image? I'm sorry I don't have the technical know-how to help you much with this one. Xiner (talk, email) 02:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Voice Lesson

It went well. Can you help me with my userpage --Computernurd22

Died

Yes I did die. My funeral is on Saturday. Just joking. I wasn't on the computer and that is why I did not respond. Sorry. I like your page also. Hey even though you're not my adopter will you pass on any useful knowledge. Thanks. --Jazzy Trumpeteer 02:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Superior Job

Good job on your solo Mr. 1-. To bad I didn't get to hear it. Oh did you catch the title. 1 for superior. Seven cheers for Cemepuff. Anyways, I am now going to congradulate Reed, and ask Landon what he got. HIP HIP! --Jazzy Trumpeteer 02:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but i have no idea how to change that. --Computernurd22 22:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I did sign my post. ;) --Computernurd22 22:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

How might I do that? --Computernurd22 22:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much Cremepuff222 --Computernurd22 (talk) 22:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

As the userbox states I am a beginner. I'm not very good. I learned it from the Vex Software, and thank you. --Computernurd22 (talk) 23:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Is it the one that says, "Hi." --Computernurd22 (talk) 23:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Sweet!!!!! --Computernurd22 (talk) 23:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Can you please explain to me the whole adoption situation. --Computernurd22 (talk) 23:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

By the way, why are my boxes spread out and how do I fix it. --Computernurd22 (talk) 23:44, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

How did you get adopted? --Computernurd22 (talk) 00:23, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! --Computernurd22 (talk) 01:45, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Links

How do I make a link in my user page link to my talk page, or any other page for that matter? --Computernurd22 (talk) 01:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! --Computernurd22 (talk) 02:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


Would you care to instruct me on how to create userboxes. --Computernurd22 (talk) 02:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Image in a Box

Hey, I found out how to put an image inside a userbox. The only problem is that it is really long and I want to make it available to other users. How do I make it look like yours: {{User Cremepuff}} --Computernurd22 (talk) 17:45, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

This is what my Userbox looks like:

This user is a part of Wikipedia:Wikiproject Wikify.

I would be happy to adopt you

I received your message. I would be happy to adopt you. I'm probably not as experienced in some matters of Wikipedia editing and policy as Xiner is (I normally stay away from templates, and I largely keep to quiet, non-controversial articles), but I'll help in any way I can. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 12:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Userboxes

Hi. I just noticed the userboxes on your page, and while I once expressed myself freely on my userpage, too, I've since realized that too much is clutter, and people here like to see relevant info only. So my humble opinion is that you may want to see how many userboxes you can get rid of. :) Xiner (talk, email) 17:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Wow, nice page! You should take a look at WP:UPHTS and possibly list your name there. I've removed a sentence from the top of this page because it's not necessary (if anyone attacks you, post them a warning - have you turned in that assignment yet?). Xiner (talk, email) 02:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

The assignment

Have you read WP:DIFF? Basically, click "history" on the page, and you should be able to find your version, and do a diff like this. Show that to me. ({{uw-upv1}} is a good template for cases like this, too.) And could you please remove the warning from my talk page? I see I made a mistake in asking people to do that. :) Thanks. Xiner (talk, email) 03:21, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

WP:SAND. Xiner (talk, email) 22:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Close. Please note that you always subst: a warning, and highly encouraged to include the name of the page being messed with, so you should type, without the quotes, "{{subst:uw-upv1|User talk:Cremepuff222}}". Try again. Xiner (talk, email) 23:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
You must be tired of my nitpicks, but I just can't help it! Please see how I'm attaching this link in my message. Now your turn. (Oh, and you forgot to sign your warning at the sandbox. Xiner (talk, email) 01:06, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Give yourself a pat on the back! Xiner (talk, email) 01:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Some people (not I) really hate colors and graphics in signatures. I'd say that stuff that doesn't contribute to encyclopedia-building is best minimized, as some people will judge you by that, just as in real-life. Xiner (talk, email) 01:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I loved the way your user page looked a few hours ago. The number of animal faces was just right, a few too many now. Just my opinion. Xiner (talk, email) 01:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll release it on the 25th. Xiner (talk, email) 01:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I don't think anyone will complain now. Xiner (talk, email) 02:06, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Custom signatures

Hi! Making custom signatures is relatively easy. The design can be achieved through font tags and such (I'm having difficulty explaining this properly, for examples check out User:Pharaoh Hound/Sandbox#Signature test). For the necessary colour codes go to List of colors and use the hex triplet (not including the # sign). Here's an example:

[[User:Pharaoh Hound|<font color="d55b12">Pharaoh Hound</font>]] [[User talk:Pharaoh Hound|<small>(talk)</small>]]

That's the necessary coding to make my signature. Don't worry about including any time stamp into the signature as it will automatically produce it when set up. Try experimenting in the sandbox to make sure it looks right or to compare different versions. Try not to make the coding too long as it annoys other editors when a signature takes up half of a vote page. Once you've decided on a design go to your preferences, copy and paste the code from your signature into the "signature" box and check "raw signature" (if you want links to more than your userpage, such as the link to my talk page in my signature). For more info check out WP:SIG. Hope this helps! --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 12:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

On the Issue of Making a Custom Signature

Hi Nick, its Chiefsfan. I am on the computer now, and very curious as to how you managed to make such a cool talk page. Oh, and how do you customize your signature? It looks cool.

I'm terribly sorry about not starting a new converstion box. I didn't read the directions. --Chiefsfan364 22:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I needed to bring it home to work on it, so I pasted it on Wikipedia. Pretty Nifty, Huh?--Chiefsfan364

Userboxes

In every tab, the first column of userboxes all cover up most of the second column. Resolution: 800x600. Sorry my graphics drivers got screwed up and I can't test at any other res. Xiner (talk, email) 01:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, btw, you should move all your userboxes into your user space (ie User:Cremepuff222/...), or they'll be deleted sooner or later. Xiner (talk, email) 01:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Unless it starts with your name, some of the userboxes are in Template space (you have to access them by "Template:..." Xiner (talk, email) 02:08, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Changing archives

I'd say you should change it when you start having to wait for it to load. Numberwise I'd say at least 50-75, maybe closer to 75 posts. Xiner (talk, email) 20:34, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I've a thing against signature books on Wikipedia. WP:NOT Myspace and all. I'll surely drop you a note now and then though. :) Xiner (talk, email) 20:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
You know what, you're absolutely right. I've been hunting through my talk pages for such info sometimes. No wonder people have those. Thanks! Xiner (talk, email) 01:53, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

About the puzzle...

I think I know the answer: AIEF? // DecaimientoPoético 01:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Am I really the first? How cares!? I won! Sorry, though, but I'm going to have to decline the renovation to my user page. I like it just the way it is; not fancy but not too plain either :). If I can, I'd like to pass it on to one of the friends I have listed on my user page (the last couple of userboxes on my page) or even give it to one of your friends who might need it. That is to say if you don't mind doing it for one of them. // DecaimientoPoético 02:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
That's too bad. Well, not much I can do about that. Anyways, thanks again for the offer. If I ever need some redecorating, you'll be the first person I talk to! Also, thanks for signing my sig book. Happy editing! // DecaimientoPoético 03:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I thought about it, but I decided to wait a bit longer before actually running (although there's a pretty good chance that I might accept a nomination from another user). Not many people know this but I'm only 14 years old, and I'm sure that a lot of people wouldn't want an administrator as young as I am running around.

Unfortunately no, the status does not automatically change.

Several notes

Hi, Cremepuff. I'd be happy to let you know when the next round of WikiQuiz is up. A few other notes for you:

  • It's very kind of you to thank me on your user page, but I am afraid the design is not mine! It is User:ElAmericano's. You may want to thank him!
  • Nice try with the "over 1000 edits" thing! 897 of them are on user pages, and 320 are on user talk pages! 24 are template edits, and 28 are Wikipedia space edits. Only 23 are actual mainspace edits. Not that there's anything wrong with that…around a quarter of my 400 edits are userpage edits. Nevertheless, you may want to user "Show preview" a bit more frequently. =P Goyston talk, contribs, play 19:36, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
