[edit] Adoption Offer

This user has been offered adoption by Xtreme racer (If you wish adoption by another user click here)

As you see I have offered to adopt you. I am a fellow Canadian and resident of Ontario. My main focuses are video game articles but I also do general editing and reversion of vandalism. If you would like to accept my offer please leave me a message on my talk page and we can get started in the adoption process. Xtreme racer 04:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Answers to Questions

To get a link to say something but take you to something else you would insert this into the page [[Name of article you wish to link to|What you want link to say]]. A sandbox is simply a place to experiment with things like formatting or how to use links. You can use the general sandbox for experimentation, there is no real need for your own sandbox. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to leave me a message, I will respond as quickly as I can. Xtreme racer 00:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categorize Articles

To categorize articles you would insert something like this at the bottom of the page [[Category:Video game expansion packs]]. Obviously there are different categories for different articles so you just have to experiment to find ones that exist that coincide with the article. Xtreme racer 12:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism Deletion

When you find vandalism revert or delete it as you did and then consider warning the vandalizer on their talk page (use the history page to find out who made the edit) with a vandalism warning and that's all you have to do. Xtreme racer 20:25, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another Response

Unfortunately userboxes are one area of Wikipedia I don't have experience in. But my best suggestion is put it on your userpage and if someone doesn't like it, just remove it. As to how to name it that's something I leave to the professional userbox makers. Sorry, I can't be much help on this topic. Xtreme racer 06:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Answer

Making a request for an article is reserved for people who want to create articles but can't because they are unregistered users, otherwise you could create a test article on your userpage and then when you're ready to add it to Wikipedia, then you can create the article on Wikipedia itself, this way you can get it up to standards before adding to Wikipedia.

[edit] Vandals

Th best thing you can do about vandals is put a [Wikipedia:Vandalism warning] on their talk page. As a standard user you don't have then power to block people, only the administrators have that power. If enough warnings are issued including a final warning then consider reporting the user to this link. Xtreme racer (talk) 21:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Answer

When you see articles like that use one of the templates on this page. But here's an example template {{db-nonsense}}. Just place a speedy deletion template, it doesn't have to be that oe on the top of the page and make sure in your edit summary to say you are putting it up for speedy deletion.

[edit] Fort Boyard

Hi! It was the original series, only dubbed. I also remember Laurent Fignon as a contestant. I remember no remake of this show broadcasted in Czechia. Miraceti (talk) 18:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
