[edit] RE: Hi

Nice name! Oh, you also might want to read this: WP:SIG. ffm ^yes? 19:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I often forget to do that. Now that I have an account, I'll try to remember to sign any talk page edits. SeriousCat 19:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An Automated Message from HagermanBot

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 03:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hrm.. I'm causing trouble already.. Maybe I should go back to contributing anonymously. SeriousCat 04:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

If you’re referring to the multitudinous userboxes on my user page, then thank you! Many of them were found in the categories on Wikipedia’s Userbox project page, which can be found here: Wikipedia:Userboxes. I got the others from random users’ own user pages. So my advice to you is, just check out as many userpages as you can, and then “borrow” their userboxes. Thanks again! —BrOnXbOmBr21 04:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

No need to apologize. By the way, in the future, when you’re appending a post on a talk page, set it off with an indent by putting a colon in front of the text (check the code of this page to see what I mean). —BrOnXbOmBr21 04:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jellybeans

You have been awarded these Jelly Beans from User:-The Doctor- I hope you enjoy these Jelly Beans.

Here are some Jelly Beans for you.. I love Jellybeans as they have sugar in them and most people love sugar.. But on the other hand just recieving somthing from somone else just makes you happy and also just giving this to you makes me happy.. I hope to spread the Jellybeans all over Wikipedia so here you can have this lot.. I hope you enjoy these Jelly Beans.. (I Like the Lime ones)

Editors need a bit of a Sugar Hype too..

An Apple a day keeps -The Doctor- Away.. Or does it! ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:3RR on Alex Jones (radio)

Please do not undo other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Alex Jones (radio), or you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the 3RR. Thank you. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand. This article was being repeatedly vandalized and people are adding their own point of view by removing the word "documentary". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SeriousCat (talk • contribs).

"Vandalism" is a technical term here on Wikipedia, indicating edits that are intentionally harmful to the encyclopedia. I see a difference of opinion as to whether his films are documentaries or pseudo-documentaries, so it is incorrect to call the edits "vandalism". (I've been censured a few times for calling edits "vandalism" when I believed their purpose was to harm the encyclopedia, but where the intent was not entirely clear from the edits or edit summary.) Please discuss this issue on the talk page. If the only issue is the word "documentary" (you've been making other changes in the lead, so I can't be certain), and we can't reach a resolution on the talk page, then an article RfC might be in order. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption

Hello SeriousCat. Do you still want to be adopted? IF you're wondering, I picked you because I like the picture - he does look fucking serious. Plus you seem to know much of what you're doing, so I wouldn't have to do too much. Let me know via my talk page. Neil (not Proto ►) 13:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, wait: {{Adoptoffer}}

There we go. Neil (not Proto ►) 13:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Awesome. Let me know if you have any questions or issues, etc etc. And here's the stock message:

Hello, Serious Cat! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. I accept your request, being an experienced editor myself. Whether you want to learn about wiki markup, find something to do, or just talk to somebody, I'm the one you can talk to - just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck with Wikipedia! Neil (not Proto ►) 13:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name change

What will happen is that when you change your name, the links to your userpage will redirect to your user page - there would be a redirect from User:SeriousCat to User:Serious Cat. Like when I changed my user name - it used to be User:Proto, but since I changed my user name, it redirects to User:Neil, as you can see if you click on User:Proto. So the links to your page wouldn't be broken. Neil (not Proto ►) 15:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Likewise, my old pages at User:Benedict the Moor are now redirects to my current pages at User:Ben. -- Ben 00:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Air boat template

Someone has put that template on it because they think the article is only about air boats in one part of the world. If you disagree, you could remove the {{worldview}} template from the top of the page by editing it. If you agree, then you could try and find information about the use of air boats in places other than the USA and add it to the article.

Quick note, you can link to Wikipedia pages just by putting the article name in double square brackets - like this [[Air boat]], no need to put in the whole internet address. Neil (not Proto ►) 15:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
