[edit] Re:Adoption

Yes, I would be willing to adopt you. Note that I don't really have any sort of "lesson plan" or any other kind of plan for that matter. Basically, if you have any questions about editing or Wikipedia, I have experience in just about everything. If I don't know the answer, I will know somewhere that I can direct you to find people that do have the answer. I am also an administrator so I can answer any questions about that as well.

[edit] Signs at the top of pages?

{{helpme}} What are those signs at the top of some pages? ones about a nutshell.

If you're talking about policy pages, such as this one, the nutshell box attempts to summarize the policy in a few sentences. henrik•talk 21:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

(ec)Hi Dillio411, wasn't your question satisfactorily answered? Please rephrase your question because I don't quite understand what else you want to know. - TwoOars (Rev) 21:39, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contributing

I notice that you seem to be making lots of edits, which is good. However, Wikipedia is above all else an encyclopedia. You have only 1 edit to an encyclopedia article (besides 2 edits to a deleted one). If you are looking for a way to contribute to articles, you may want to look into WikiProjects or cleanup work. Also, I see you asked some questions above - feel free to ask me questions on my talk page as well. Mr.Z-man 00:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

the bar code ---> <div class="NavFrame"><div class="NavHead">Hidden Barnstars</div><div class="NavContent" style="display:none;"> --Dillio411 00:12, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

<div class="NavFrame" style="width: DESIRED WIDTH %;"><div class="NavHead">Hidden Barnstars</div><div class="NavContent" style="display:none;">

Hi! Do you mean like this? You can use the following code for that:

<span style="color: green; font-family:courier"> Do you mean like this? </span>

I think you should be able to figure it out from that :-) Stwalkerster talk 15:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hidden Barnstar Page to hard or to easy

Can you find my Hidden Barnstar Page??--Dillio411 17:56, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] impolite...

It's often considered impolite to remove someone's comments without responding to them. In any case you can do whatever you want. Have a nice day, ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 18:41, 7 October 2007 (UTC) sorry i didnt mean to put {{helpme}} so i deleted it... sorry--Dillio411 19:01, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Whatlinkshere

{{helpme}} how do you use Whatlinkshere?? --Dillio411 23:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

What links here returns a list of pages which link back to the given page (e.g., Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Helpme would return a list of user talk pages which contain {{helpme}} or Template:Helpme somewhere in the source). —[[Animum | talk]] 00:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Encyclopedia

Hi. Please remember that this is an encyclopedia, not a social networking site. So try and spend some time helping the encyclopedia and less time with userpages, hidden barnstar games, etc. -- John Reaves 03:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:123456789.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:123456789.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:36, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Renovate

Sure, I can help you with your page. The first thing I need to know are the sort of changes would you like to make. Please reply with your ideas and I'll get started as soon as I can. Thanks. STORMTRACKER 94 19:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I revamped your page as you said. If there's anything else you want, just leave me a message. Thanks. STORMTRACKER 94 20:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Category:Dillio411's secret

A tag has been placed on Category:Dillio411's secret, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per speedy deletion criterion G1.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. — Dorftrottel⁠ 23:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Just a friendly note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia project. Besides, there are no "secret" pages on Wikipedia. Try e.g. {{special:prefixindex/user:Dillio411}}, which results in:

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:JRBop.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:JRBop.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
