[edit] Would you be willing to help? (Userboxes)

Hi, I remember that you put forth your name as a friendly admin at WP:TGS, and I was wondering if you could help me out. I created a number of userboxes in my userspace without thinking, and I'd like to get them deleted so I can actually move the templates there in order to preserve the history. The thing is, I'd like to do it in batches so I can fix things up without falling too far behind. If I just posted a few links here a day, could you drop by and delete the pages? Thanks. —Mira 07:38, 9 June 2006 (UTC)(copied from GTBacchus' talk page 02:54, 11 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Yes

I can do that.Just leave me links, and let me know what you need done. -GTBacchus(talk) 13:29, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batch 1

Hello again, I'm dropping by with the first bunch. If you'd rather I put the links somewhere else in the future, just let me know where. Thanks for doing this.

1 2 3 4 5 6

P.S. Please delete the talk pages too. And thanks again. —Mira 03:01, 11 June 2006 (UTC)(copied from GTBacchus' talk page 09:39, 11 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Done

[edit] Hello again

Hi, it's me again. I just wanted to mention that I posted the next batch of subpages I'd like deleted back up under the old heading where we were talking a few days ago. I hope I don't seem impatient, because I'm not; feel free to delete at your convenience. I'm just a little worried that you didn't get my message, as I didn't post it on the bottom of your page. Thank you. —Mira 03:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 02:11, 22 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Done

Sorry for the delay.My talk page has been active lately, and I missed your post until you posted a reminder.Please feel free to do what it takes to get my attention; I'll try to be more alert. -GTBacchus(talk) 05:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batch 3

Hey, I know it's been a while again, but here's some more userboxes you can delete.14 15 16 —Mira 20:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 02:11, 22 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] All three talk pages, too?

User talk:MiraLuka/Userboxes/User bisexual has quite a bit of content - do you want it gone, too? -GTBacchus(talk) 20:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I actually copy/pasted that over from Template talk:User bisexual. (bad me) All of the history is over there. So yes, the talk pages too. —Mira 23:34, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Done. -GTBacchus(talk) 23:37, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you. —Mira 00:25, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batch 4

Thanks, those went really fast - not many links. Here's batch four: 17 18 19 —Mira 02:02, 22 June 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 02:11, 22 June 2006 (UTC))

Batch four was particularly easy - no talk pages. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batch 5

Those were fast for me as well. Here's batch five: 20 21 22 —Mira 02:48, 22 June 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 03:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC))

Six new redlinks for ya. -GTBacchus(talk) 08:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batch 6

And here's batch six: 23 24 25 —Mira 03:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Done - that one took a bit longer because I'm suddenly between homes, but I'm checking in when I can. -GTBacchus(talk) 16:04, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batch 7

Don't worry about how long it takes you, I'm not moving all that fast myself. Anyway, here's batch seven: 26 27 28 29 —Mira 05:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 05:45, 28 June 2006 (UTC))

Done :) -GTBacchus(talk) 19:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batch 8

And here's batch eight: 30 31 32 33 —Mira 06:20, 29 June 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 06:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC))

Done, and done. -GTBacchus(talk) 22:31, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batch 9

Finally finished that bunch, here's the next batch. :) 34 35 36 37 38 39 —Mira 03:47, 7 July 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 03:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC))

Those are taken care of now. :) -GTBacchus(talk) 04:12, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Could you zap this one away again? Another editor got to it before I did, and it messed things up. Thanks. —Mira 08:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 17:55, 7 July 2006 (UTC))
Yeah, got it. -GTBacchus(talk) 17:55, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batch 10

Here's batch ten: 40 41 42 43 44 45 —Mira 09:02, 8 July 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 10:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC))

Done. -GTBacchus(talk) 17:39, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batch 11

And number eleven: 46 47 48 49 50 —Mira 13:54, 9 July 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 10:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC))

I've been online very little in the past few days.These are done now. -GTBacchus(talk) 20:37, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batch 12

Again, no need to worry about getting these done urgently, but here's batch twelve: 51 52 —Mira 07:25, 19 July 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 07:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC))

Got 'em. -GTBacchus(talk) 21:03, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Done

Hey, I was just looking through all of the userboxes I've moved, and I think we've taken care of all the ones I did improperly. Thank you so much for all of your help. —Mira 04:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC) (copied from GTBacchus' talk page 04:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC))

Glad I was able to help. :) -GTBacchus(talk) 20:36, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of logo

The use of a logo is considered fair when it is used to illustrate an organization. If students are part of a university ("the organization"), wouldn't it then be fair to use the logo in the userbox, as with {{User Bocconi}}? Gilbertogm 17:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia policy states that "Fair use images should be used only in the article namespace." See WP:FAIR#Policy (#9). —Mira 17:41, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] what

Please explain what you did on my user page. I see you did something but what I do not understand. --Qho 17:30, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

This was accidentally posted to the Userbox allies discussion...but it was for you alone it looks like.
—Lady Aleena talk/contribs 17:44, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks LA. Qho, just as I stated in my edit summary, your page was in a category that is designed for userboxes. User pages are not supposed to be in that category. Therefore, I removed that category from your page. —Mira 17:52, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I cannot get

to the Userbox allies talk page there is not even a user box discussin page for me to look at so how am I supposed to Know?How also am I supposed to get there in the future? Taylor aka. Qho

Come again? How are you supposed to know what? —Mira 02:05, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Wikipedia GUS userboxes

Bad speelers of the world, UNTIE! — xaosflux Talk 05:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Seriously though, I've got a bot, Fluxbot that I've got working on several WP:GUS replacements (replacing the Gus to template with the new GUS'd one). If you have any LARGE replacements needed, let me know. — xaosflux Talk 05:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Ooooh, really? I'd love it if you could do Template:User male to {{User:UBX/male}}. There were over 2500 links last time I checked. Do I need to change the redirect into a GUS box first? —Mira 05:55, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I've got this running though these now, got about 1000 left to go.There are also ~180 boxes listed in Category:Wikipedia GUS userboxes that need to have replacements done as well.If you some across any other boxes that need replacement, add them to that cat, and hopefully someone besides me will start working it! :) — xaosflux Talk 02:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much for that. I've been meaning to start working on cleaning the GUS templates, I've just been finishing up some other stuff first. —Mira 04:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Whew, Fluxbot is tired now! 2000+ replacements done, there are still about 100 out there (odd subtranscluions/certain babel-x listings).I've changed user male to a GUS redirect. — xaosflux Talk 05:32, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Well, better Fluxbot than me.

—Mira 22:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion

I noticed that you tagged the page Template:User world citizen for speedy deletion with the reason "WP:GUS, moved to user space". However, "WP:GUS, moved to user space" is not currently one of our criteria for speedy deletion, and WP:GUS is not even policy, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can useWP:TFD if you still want the template to be deleted. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 20:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Would G6 be a valid CSD in this case? An unused redirect pointing to a (soon-to-be) unused template would seem to fall into that category to me. —Mira 21:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Can you fix my userpage please?

You fiddled with my maleness as a part of GUS and I don't know how to fix it myself. Thanks! --Kinst 03:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

You can fix it yourself by updating the old link to the new one, which is displayed in the box. —Mira 03:25, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I finally figured out now that I had to put in ":MiraLuka" instead of "User:MiraLuka". :-( --Kinst 17:54, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Participant over member

Dear Mira,

I would not say this in the open discussion of the massive rename that I put forward here, but the reason I chose the word participant over the word member is the third definition of member on Wiktionary. You defended that word for the Catholicism project, but do you really want member associated with Catholicism, especially with that definition floating about? Believe me, it makes me snicker a bit whenever I see the word member and Catholic in the same sentence, and I am Catholic. I just wanted you to know my reasoning.
—Lady Aleena talk/contribs 12:02, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Hahahaha, I never even thought of that. I see your reasoning now, although I still think the projects should be able to choose between the two. If you ever wanted to try a smaller renaming, of a form such as "WikiProject _____ (members/participants)", you would have my full support.

—Mira 19:35, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] German userbox solution

Hi. You recently tagged a number of template for speedy deleting, citing WP:GUS. I have removed the tags for now, as I am not clear that a speedy deletion is valid. I have also requested a review of the situation. Cheers TigerShark 13:19, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Erm, I didn't cite WP:GUS, I cited CSD G6... —Mira 19:22, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:GUS on WP:AN/I

Please see, and contribute if you would like, to the discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#German userbox solution. — xaosflux Talk 13:56, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I didn't really have much to say, you beat me to it all.

—Mira 19:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:User HNIC

Hi, I'm curious about this edit you made. What was unclear? —Mira 19:43, 29 July 2006 (UTC) (copied from Mangojuice's talk page 23:02, 29 July 2006 (UTC))

Yeah, the one I untagged, it was because G6 is supposed to be for uncontroversial maintenance that requires deletion.It wasn't clear from the tag what the uncontroversial maintenance was supposed to be, and I couldn't figure it out, so I just removed the tag. Mangojuicetalk 21:14, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Ah, the maintenance was removing an unused (soft) redirect to user space from template space. —Mira 23:02, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Project Catholicism

This template has been deleted, as requested.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  22:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. —Mira 23:39, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template (soft redirect, really) up for deletion

Just so you know, the original location of {{User Single Female}} is up for deletion, as it's just a soft redirect and has been for almost two months. Since you're the one who applied the German solution to it and hosted it at its new location, I figured you should know (in case you return in time).-- nae'blis 15:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. As I said at TFD, old pages like this are no longer necessary and I've been tagging them for speedying as I find them. I've just lost track of most of them. —Mira 18:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
No problem, thanks for making that painless. ;) -- nae'blis 15:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lutheran Infobox

Thanks for droping by my user page. Could you explain briefly why the Lutheran info box was deleted from my page. It's not a big deal, but it is important for folks to know who I am so they know why I edit what I do. Thanks! --CTSWyneken(talk) 09:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I think there's some confusion here. I didn't remove your box, just Category:Religion user templates. This category is for userboxes only, the category must have been on your page by mistake. —Mira 03:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hell Userbox

I just noticed that my userbox: "This user is probably going to hell" has been deleted.Since you have a copy of it within your userpage I was wondering if you knew when this happened, and if there was a discussion and a vote for it, and if there is any possible recourse on the subject.ThanksCerealkiller13 20:30, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I just read about the German solution, which I was previously unaware of.I have substituted the new userbox adress into my userpage, and the box is up and running.Sorry for mucking up your discussion page.Cerealkiller13 20:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't know when the template space one was deleted, I created my own version quite a while ago. Of course, you are more than welcome to use it.

—Mira 03:02, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, if you want the original version, it appears to be here. —Mira 03:06, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thought I'd give you this

The Original Barnstar
For all your frequent work on the Charmed articles. :) ~ZytheTalk to me! 00:21, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Wow, my very own barnstar. Thank you very much.

—Mira 03:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Userbox Solution

This is a form letter, please don't reply directly. Do, however, feel free to discuss this solution I've come up with.

I've made an unofficial place for all User Boxes (hopefully) safe from overzealous Admins. Feel free to add any you like, edit any there, or just list your already made userboxes there. Also feel free to edit the main page (the user page) in any way that you think might help. Please note, however, that this is a user page and not an official Wikipedia page, so almost any User Box will be tolerated as long as it's within reason. UserBox 03:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

PS. Have fun on vacation! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by UserBox (talk • contribs) 22:18, August 5, 2006(UTC)

[edit] Vaults

You edited out my entries for the IGN Vault Network because you thought they were spam. Im editorial manager for the Vault Network and I was merely adding relevant links to wikipedia for the readship. Please revert back or contact me at tpierson[at]ign.com. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eviltrance (talk • contribs) 01:03, August 7, 2006(UTC)

Please review WP:SPAM. You added a link to a page which already has 11 external links. Your link was redundant and unnecessary. —Mira 07:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changing redirects

You made a minor edit to my userbox page in order to fix a link to a redirect. I don't mind your edit to my page, but I am not sure it is necessary to fix these links. Are you fixing double redirects or otherwise "broken" redirects? If not, you might want to read this section of the article on redirects. I used to be a zealous redirect-fixer myself until I read that section. --Ginkgo100 talk · contribs · e@ 03:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I fixed the redirect because the original page will soon be deleted. Thanks for the concern, though.

—Mira 04:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citing Dates

Citing dates is not necessary under any writing system, as dates are considered common knowledge. Statistics, on the other hand, must be cited. Ameise -- chat 21:38, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Umm...yes, you need to give sources that prove that SWGEmu was started or released on a certain date, otherwise it is unverifiable original research. —Mira 21:43, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, there is a link to the SWGEmu forum, what do you want me to link to a specific thread now? Also, where in that article does it state "Dates are a form of original research"? By this point, we should go thru all of Wikipedia, including articles specifically about dates, and add a citation for it! The German Empire formed in 1871? Where is your citation! Original Research, delete! Ameise -- chat 21:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
That article is a little thin on citations (as are most articles on Wikipedia) but it also has a nice references section, and I bet that if I picked up one of those books, it would tell me that the German Empire did indeed form in 1871. All of that is quite irrelevant to what we were discussing, though.
You must provide citations for the dates you added, otherwise you are just asking readers to take you at your word that what you say is true. (I am not saying you are untrustworthy, but that this is not good encyclopedia policy.) As for the sources used to cite the dates, be sure that they are reliable. —Mira 22:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Would the respective threads on the official forums be reliable enough? Ameise -- chat 22:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
From my reading of the guideline on reliable sources, I think that using information from a web forum, even the official forum, is borderline at best. However, there are already quite a few links to forums and such in the article, so I'm inclined to let them be. If you are aware of third party sources, those would probably be better. Also, in the first link you give, is there any way to point it directly at the right post, and not the thread in general? —Mira 05:34, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Not as of now, no. Not as far as I know. Though I would rather there be an actual site there... Ameise -- chat 16:08, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:Rfrisbie/Userboxes/Personality

Hi, I was wondering if you could do the same thing with Wikipedia talk:Userboxes/Personality, moving to User talk:Rfrisbie/Userboxes/Personality. Thanks. —Mira 05:57, 12 August 2006 (UTC) (copied from xaosflux's talk page 20:34, 12 August 2006 (UTC))

Done. — xaosflux Talk 06:23, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you.

—Mira 08:02, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Userboxes

(crossposted on several talk pages) I found that list, but since it was so old, I decided to make a new one... manually... (I should have mentioned this to someone before, so that they could talk me out of it : )

Sooo, several hours of typing/pasting/etc later...

They aren't a "huge" mess... but some observations:

  • 1.) We should have a better or clearer naming convention, or something.
    • There is no standard to capitalising the first word after "User " (it's about 50% lower/upper case). This also means that there are many hundreds of userboxes that are listed twice, once with an uppercase second word, and once with the lower case second word (though more than a few are redirects).
    • several userboxes have a dash (-) or NO space between "User" and the first word.
    • greek, russian, etc. letters in the name.
    • the use of punctuation, such as "/" "," "..." etc.
  • 2.) Several appear to be attempts to make userified templates. I'll work on moving those to each user's userspace.
  • 3.) Many (very many) religion/politics ones are "back" in template space, it would appear that they just apparently "accidentally" haven't been added to the Userboxes sub-pages.
  • 4.) there are more userbox redirects than the number of userboxes on a single subpage : )
  • 5.) Oh, quantity of userboxes = 10027 (though that includes redirects, and 118 templates that have "user" as the initial word (though some of those have "userbox" as the first word). So it's roughly 10 thousand userboxes in template space. ouch.

Can I run away screaming now? : )

- Jc37 13:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you can definitely start running and screaming.

As for any other comments, it looks like there's a nice discussion going at Rfrisbie's talk page, I'll chip in there if I think of anything to say. —Mira 20:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{User Drug-free}}

Template:User Drug-free has over 700 incoming links. Any chance you could use your bot to migrate them to User:Xoloz/UBX/Template User Drug-free? —Mira 08:04, 12 August 2006 (UTC) (copied from xaosflux's talk page 20:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC))

I've got Fluxbot working this now, will take a bit :) — xaosflux Talk 16:08, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much.

—Mira 18:58, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Bot run is done, there are still 36 transclusions that will need manual cleanup, babel-x, subtranslcusions, etc. — xaosflux Talk 19:14, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I'll take care of those sometime today. —Mira 19:17, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GUS UBXs

Don't worry, you can remove them from the talk page. My previous sentiment wasn't very well thought out. Regards, alphaChimp laudare 21:27, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I shall do so in the future, then. —Mira 01:00, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template: User Calgary Highlander

While you are at it, can you get the image to centre? Thanks. ;-) Michael Dorosh 21:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

How's that? —Mira 21:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Vielen Dank! Michael Dorosh 21:30, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ISO 15924

Saw you added user writing system to the overview page. IMO it would be good to use ISO 639-3 (or the old ISO 639-1) for languages and ISO 15924 for scripts. Using ISO 15924 saves us from future naming conflicts. Maybe see Template talk:User cyr, Category talk:User cyr-- Tobias Conradi (Talk) 20:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, that's all gibberish to me. I just added the page to WP:UBX because it was added to Template:WP:UBS. Good luck, though. —Mira 20:51, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] bypassing redirect(s)

what the heck is "bypassing redirect(s)"? WereWolf 23:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Please read through User:Shayl/Changing user pages, and also check the history of your user page. A link you were using on your page was a redirect to a different page. I corrected this link to point directly at the page. —Mira 23:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding ==Categories==

[edit] Article 12

Thanks for your comments re article 12. Edit paste was from my original work...I am the author of the original text. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lynnetammi (talk • contribs) 15:44, August 24, 2006(UTC)

You will still need to rewrite the articles in order to make them conform with Wikipedia guidelines.
Also, please remember to start a new section header and sign your comments using ~~~~ in the future. I almost missed your message because you didn't do that. —Mira 20:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the Answer.I have also made a catelog of the boxes in my userspace should anybody want one of the boxes. Æon Insane Ward 19:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I'd suggest that you also add those boxes to Rfrisbie's directory, the navigation template, and the listing of archives, if you haven't done those already. A lot of things, I know, but they'll help those boxes get noticed.

I know a good idea when I see one. —Mira 22:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help

Could you please tell me what's wrong with my coding for My Userboxes page and One of my Userboxes that both of those pages apear on Category:Dadaists ? Lewiscode 02:57, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Remove the category from the userbox and the problem is solved. —Mira 05:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yybo/NEAT

I have no clue, why this page User:Yy-bo/NEAT gets connected to another user User:1ne/Userboxes/User world. I do not see a reason for it. Taking a look at your page, i assume good faith, but please explain. User:Yy-bo 21:37, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

The userbox there was moved to a new location. I corrected the link to avoid the resulting redirect, which has likely since been deleted. Please see User:MiraLuka/Changing user pages and WP:GUS for more information. —Mira 21:42, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Long-Overdue RfA Thanks from Alphachimp

 Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia.

With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you.

(Thanks go to Blnguyen for the incredible photo to the right.) alphaChimp laudare 01:32, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi MiraLuka,
Radiant!'s home page inspired me to try out a copy-cat version. Check it out. Rfrisbietalk 01:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Love the userboxes

I just wanted to drop you a line and say that I love your userboxes- they're very fun.I'm a fan of the Precious one.Thanks for making them!-Elizabennet 16:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{User:UBX/knight}}

Hi MiraLuka

I moved the userbox {{User:UBX/knight}} from your user space to my user space; the box was initially created by me and I found out only today that I hadn't put it in my user space but had created it as a template in namespace; hope, this is ok with you; thanks for looking after the box and salvaging it from deletion.

[edit] {{User:UBX/onemanonewoman}}

I have reverted a change to {{User:UBX/onemanonewoman}} which was blatantly POV --Ted-m 15:32, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for informing me, I'll add that page to my watchlist temporarily. —Mira 20:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Try READING the page I linked to before jumping to conclusions, even if I was, perhaps foolishly, trying to be playful in my edit summary, "The word discrimination comes from the Latin "discriminare", which means to "distinguish between". To discriminate socially is to make a distinction between people on the basis of class or category without regard to individual merit. Examples of social discrimination include racial, religious, sexual, sexual orientation, disability, ethnic, height-related, and age-related discrimination. Whether a given example of discrimination is positive or negative is a subjective judgement (i.e., in the eye of the beholder)." -Pro-family groups use the term, and say they are proud to discriminate, they feel it is immoral and against their beliefs not to. And, the original linked to page really does not address the question. So I tried to help, and you don't read the linked to page. So I take a min to look for something more neutral ( "inequality" I felt doesn't have the automatic negative connotation you found with "discrimination", and does apply to the issue far more than the "heterosexuality" article does,) , and again, you assume bad faith, call it "nonsense," and try to "warn" me about vandalism. You want it left this way, pointing to a page giving no further info for a person looking? Fine. But before you try to threaten another user, you might want to read WP:AGF, WP:DR, and, I dunno, THE PAGE I LINKED TO TO SEE IF IT ACTUALLY SAYS WHAT YOU ASSUME IT DOES. --John Kenneth Fisher 00:50, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
You described your own edit as "trolling". I find it hard to assume good faith in the face of that. And I did no threatening, I simply used one of the standard vandalism warnings, which you can find at WP:VAND. —Mira 03:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Userboxes/Life#Family

If you're still here, I'm planning to move all the userboxes under this seciotn to my userspace, however, there is one thing I don't know…about the thing that says "Per the German solution, <that userbox> has been moved to <this userbox>". Can you tell me which template, etc. that is? —  $PЯINGrαgђ  Always loyal! 05:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, if you're still looking, I suggest you try WP:GUS. They should have a link somewhere, and if not, I'm sure someone on the talk page there would be better able to help you than I. —Mira 04:45, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage

Hi! You did such a great job on your userpage. I'm still learning how to use wiki so mine is really bare but if you would be interested in guiding me along so I can learn how to properly use wiki I would really appreciate it.Thank you!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JunkieKittie (talk • contribs) 06:02, November 25, 2006(UTC)

Sorry, but I am no longer actively editing Wikipedia. You should look for someone more active than me. —Mira 22:24, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
