Blue Moon Pictures

Thank you for reminding me. I had forgotten I asked. Do you know how to use Imageshack? Click that link and select "Browse". Once you select the image(s), you'll be allowed to click "Host It", (about two inches down and to the left of Browse, surrounded by an orange box). Go to the bottom of the next page and there should be a URL with "Direct link to image" next to it. Copy, paste the URL on my talk page and add a single bracket to each end of the URL and I should be supplied with a link to your image(s).

Thank you in advance. Quietmartialartist (talk) 19:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Personalizing my talk page

{{helpme}} How do you personalize my User page? I would like to, but I don't really know how. (While I'm at it, I would like to make friends here at Wikipedia. I'm kinda lonely here.)

Hi! The way I did it was to look at other peoples userpages, and see what code does what. I used tables and templates a lot on my userpage, feel free to take a look, or copy some of my code if you want to. :) If you need any more help, I'll be happy to provide assistance, just ask me on my talk page.

In reply to comment on my talk page:
I usually help newcomers get going with encyclopedia-related things, but I'd be willing to give it a shot. What sort of "attractiveness" are you looking for? Just a header like I've got, or something a little more fancy like what is at User_talk:WBOSITG? Hersfold (t/a/c) 11:29, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm fine with the yellow box that has to do with leaving me a message. However, I really need help with my Menu bar. As you can see, I tried coping the code from Stwalkerster's talk page, but I failed. That's what I kinda want the most right now. Chimchar monferno (talk) 06:47, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

You actually had it really close - what I did just now was a little cleanup of the code, and that was enough to make the background of the one image go back to transparent like it was supposed to be. If you'd like, I can set it up so that you can have that same menu displayed on your talk page. Hersfold (t/a/c) 04:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
If you could (or if you are already), please watch this page or topic or whatever you prefer. You don't have to; I'm just asking.

Anyhow... I would like the same menu bar, but then I'd have to make more pages and I simply don't have to time to do so. (And I think that I won't get any barn stars soon, whatever they are.)Chimchar monferno (talk) 08:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I've moved the border further down and fixed how your bulleted list was displaying with the userboxes. Just so you know, I'm out for a couple months, so you may be better off asking someone at Wikiproject User Page Help if you can't work things out for a while.

Question for all

Am I able to delete topics that are filling up my Talk page? For example, the speedy deletion is taking up lots of space and I already know that the page I've started may be deleted. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to delete the topic or if I must keep it for a reference. Please answer ASAP. Thank you! Chimchar monferno (talk) 19:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

There is some debate on this very topic. The short answer is yes you can delete anything you want on your talk page. Some people choose to archive it. For that see: WP:archive. I hope that helps. Also... if you ever need help just place {{helpme}} on your talk page followed by a question. It will get flagged and someone will answer quicker. GtstrickyTalk or C 17:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!Chimchar monferno (talk) 22:20, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I use an auto-archiving bot to do it for me - I would be flooded with messages otherwise, cos I never remember to do anything important like archive. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 22:36, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: A Long Time Ago

Speedy deletion of Bothremydidae

A tag has been placed on Bothremydidae requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --/\sSb\/TALK/\-- 23:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Status Icon

{{helpme}}

How do you make a status icon? I tried getting the code from other User pages, but it says the page doesn't exsist? Could someone make a status icon my User page and elaborate more about what's wrong?Chimchar monferno (talk) 23:53, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

You need to create a page at User:StatusBot/Status/Chimchar_monferno with either "offline" or "online Then add {{User:StatusBot/Template}} to your page. It will take a few minutes to work. LegoKontribsTalkM 23:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! I finally got it. Although, I had to read a few more instructions to get it right.Chimchar monferno (talk) 00:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Your inquiry

I noticed your message on the Portal:Current events/Canada. That portal is currently inactive and does not contain encyclopedia content. You may want to try the article Canada. Usually it's up to date... sometimes. Mkdwtalk 22:45, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I'm that fluent in the ways of Wikipedia. Thank you for warning me! Chimchar monferno (talk) 22:51, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
