[edit] Adoption
Hi Froglet42! I notice you are looking for an Adopter. (I also notice that no one seems to have welcomed you yet, so welcome to Wikipedia!.) I'm not listed as an adopter, but I've been a Wikipedian for nearly a year now, and would be more than willing to "show you the ropes", so to speak. Just reply on my talk page if you're interested, and be sure (just in general ;)) to sign your messages on talk pages with --~~~~. That'll automatically produce your username and a time-date stamp. Happy editing! --Fsotrain09 18:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adoption 2
Hey, I saw your proposal on my talk page; I do accept! However, I see someone else wants to adopt you. Take your choice, hatever it may be! I, however, would be joyful to adopt you. Here is my welcome to you:
|
Again, welcome to Wikipedia, and I would be honored if you want to be adopted by me. Whatever you want, it's your choice. Have a nice day! --Tohru HondaSign here! 23:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I am proud to be your adopter!
Well, I guess it's official! I am now your adopter, you are my adoptee. Now, I'm pretty new to this myself, so I guess I'll start off with the usual: Any and all questions you may have should be directed to my talk page, and I'll answer here. Or, however you like it. I'd like you to be more comfortable. However, due to school, I will be here less than I was on vacation. Do not fret, for during the time I'm here, I hope to do a lot for you. Well, do not hesitate to ask me anything, I will be there! Good night! :) --Tohru HondaSign here! 03:45, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Solution to your Question.
Did you add an exclamation mark when you looked for it? Because it's spelled, "Eden:It's an Endless World", without the "!". And even if you mispelled it, you should've been redirected to the search. That's how I found it. And if you're still wondering on finding a deleted article, you would check its deletion log. You see, when you come across a deleted article, it will say somewhere there "If a page was recently created here, it may not yet be visible because of a delay in updating the database; wait a few minutes and try the purge function. If a page previously existed at this exact title, check the deletion log and see Why was my page deleted?." Click on the link for the words "Deletion Log" and it should have something like that of the history of the page, only, the edit summary should read, "deleted for (reason here)" by an administrator. For more information on deleting pages, see Wikipedia:Deletion policy. That's an official policy on deleting pages and processes for deleting them. You could take part in Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion, where you can help decide whether an article should be deleted or not. Read their rules on doing that first, though, to do it right. Also, sorry for the late reply. School and homework> :P I hope this has helped! --Tohru HondaSign here! 23:48, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, let me correct it: Eden: It's an Endless World. That's how you spell it. A space between the colon and it's. Sorry! I must ask you, to get to know you better, what are you interested in? I may have tips for you. Cheers! --Tohru Honda13Sign me! 02:06, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm....I suggest you join in some Wikiprojects. Check out the page Wikipedia:Wikiproject. There's a directory of topics there. Click one, and it'll give you a list of different kinds of projects related to that topic. Once you join one, (or as many as you want) you should participate in what's happening there on the talk page of that project. It could be fun, helping out in tasks and deciding stuff! Well, I think it's fun. You should give it a try! ^_^ Oh, so you did find Eden: It's an Endless World right? Cheers! --Tohru Honda13Sign me! 19:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] League
Hi Froglet. Welcome to the League of Copyeditors. If you know more creatures versed in copyediting from the pond, please invite them to enlist. The backlog of articles requiring copyediting is full of crocodiles. Rintrah 09:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What's up?
Wow, I've seen that you've joined some projects! Hey, I'm sorry I didn't recommend the League of Copyeditors - I'm in it, but I forgot to mention :P Good that you joined anyways. I would also like to apologize about answering your questions late - school gets in the way, and I've been busy on other articles. Now that that's over, do you have anymore questions for me? You know the way - my talk page. Or, you can just say hello or tell me something good that happened, or just for a chat :). Listen, I've been seeing your userpage, would you like me to format your userboxes? I could help you with you userpage, or whatever. Have a nice day, and good luck! --Tohru Honda13Talk•Sign here 21:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Userboxes
I suggest you see Wikipedia:Userboxes. It gives you info on designing them, placing them on your userpage (grouping), and a list of userboxes by topic. But I want to tell you first. Her goes: Your current boxes:
 |
This user has been adopted by Tohru Honda13. |
 |
This user is a member of the League of Copyeditors. |
 |
This user contributes using Mozilla Firefox. |
 |
This user is a member of the Final Fantasy WikiProject |
Now this are your boxes in no order. To align them to the side, (see my userpage on the side) you would use:
{{Userboxtop|Example name}}
{{ Adoptee | Tohru Honda13 }}
{{User WPLoC}}
{{User Firefox}}
{{User WikiProject Final Fantasy}}
{{Userboxbottom}}
That would produce:
|
Example name
|
You may also table them. There's a way they do it on the Wikipedia page, but I prefer this method:
{|
|{{ Adoptee | Tohru Honda13 }}
|{{User WPLoC}}
|{{User Firefox}}
|-
|{{User WikiProject Final Fantasy}}
|}
Makes:
|
|
|
||||||
|
or
|
|
|
||||||
|
Simply by adding a "|" (vertical bar) before and after the Final Fantasy box, you center the box like that. You can make many different combinations that way, just with that vertical bar. You may see an example at my userboxes subpage and observe the coding, then see the result. The "|- makes the box row end at the forst one, then coninue to the next row. Make sure you use those, or else it will end up like this:
|
|
|
|
I used example 1 for that one. Ex. 2 would look too long without the "|-." Those are usually how I group my boxes. I hope this helps you! Again, read Wikipedia:Userboxes on more help. Also look at the end of the page for a table box on a list of topics of userboxes. There are thousands of boxes there, have fun picking! Oh, and I hope you had fun at Margaret River. Looks pretty! Yeah, I have an interest in Wine, but I'm not of legal age. :) That's awesome, you're Australian! I like meeting people of different races. Again, I apologize for not responding to you quickly. I think other than my school, it's probably because we live in different timezones. Need any more help, tell me. That's why I'm here! Cheers! --Tohru Honda13Talk•Sign here 01:56, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

- Did my advice help? Those sure are some great boxes ya got there ;D I'm not demanding you, but might I advise that you try and start editing articles? It's perfectly alright personalizing your userpage, especially now, since you're new and all, don't get me wrong. What does worry me is constant and only edits to a userpage. It's as if you're building a homepage here on wikipedia, which of course is not allowed. I've come across it on Miscellany for Deletion, a user's userpage was up for deletion because of 99 edits to their userpage, and only 1 or 2 mainspace edits. Also, aside from that, it was totally obscene (images). Anyways, I'm just making an observation. You're doing fine, you're new, too. Just try not to make your edits solely on your userpage. Again, that's a really nice userpage you're making there (I used to do that myself when I was new). Might I stress again, go ahead and knock yourself out with the userpage. I'm not dictating you or anything, just a tip for you. Good night! Oh, and thanks for signing the autograph book. You're the last one eligible for a prize (number 50!). Someday I'll give ya one. :)--Tohru Honda13Talk•Sign here 05:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Editing suggestions
I suggest you look at the Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors project page. There's usually some stuff there where you can proofread and help copyedit articles there. See also Category:All articles needing copy edit and take your pick! You can help me on my current copyediting target, 7 Seeds. If you don't get what copyediting means, see Wikipedia:How to copy-edit. Nice userpage by the way. Don't worry, you add as many userboxes as you want, whenever you want. Sorry for the late reply again! Grr! :) --Tohru Honda13Talk•Sign here 22:12, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Happy Birthday!!!
 |
Happy Be-Lated Birthday! Sorry for the mix-up.  From the Wikipedia Birthday Committee. |
Happy 16th Birthday Froggy! I just noticed when I saw through your userboxes...then I checked my watchlist for the time...and it matched! As a member of The Birthday Committee, I just had to do this! Hope your birthday is filled with happiness, and that all your wishes come true! --♥Tohru Honda13♥Talk 08:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry about that...I was thinking the same thing when I turned off the computer, maybe I got it wrong. Boy do I feel like an idiot...I'm sorry! Oh! I know something! Look at the message again! That should fix things a little. --♥Tohru Honda13♥Talk 18:19, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Redirects
If you want to make a redirect, such as... let's use Fruits Basket as an example. You'd place little brackets (that's what I call them) in front and end of the title: [[Fruits Basket]]. That produces Fruits Basket. Now, if there are articles of the same name, it will lead you to a dismabiguation page, where you'll be able to find the correct page you're looking for. Let's take Scorpions for example. Scorpions. But I'm not looking for the arachnid thingie, I'm looking for the band named Scorpions. Right under it, it should say:
For other uses, see Scorpion (disambiguation)
Sometimes, it'll just take you to a disambig. link right away, but in some cases, at the top of the article something like that will come up.
(An example of instant redirect to a disambiguation page:
It's a lot of different pages, so take your pick.)
Back to Scorpions: So, instead, I would type [[Scorpions (band)]] to produce Scorpions (band). With such common words like that, you must be specific with such titles, as they can be movies, music, bands, manga, anime, etc (or just look for it on its dismabiguation page). See Wikipedia:Disambiguation for more information on that. And if you still can't find such a title, that you know exists, make sure you spelled it correctly (or if it is, see its deletion log, I told you before I think). I hope this has helped you. Oh, and please remember to Sign your post when you leave a message on a talk page with ~~~~. Oh yes, see what I did with the sign your posts thing? There's no such page with a lone title of "Sign your post". Instead, I did a piped link (Wikipedia:Piped link). The trick is [[Text|Display text]] That pipe is a vertical bar, create it with SHIFT + BACKSLASH. It's quite simple. So, sign your post would be made with [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|Sign your post]] to make sign your post. But be careful not to do this with full dates with specific date titles; it'll be confusing. Cheers, and ask me anything elsse you don't understand! Oh, and be sure to read those Wikipedia pages for more infor on links. I did my best to summarize. And sign your posts . :) ♥Tohru Honda13♥ 23:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your question regarding redirects,
Hi I am Arjun, and I am Tohru Honda13's best friend. Sadly she is very busy, so I may be filling in to help you out every once and a while okay :). First off to create a redirect (1. Create an article that you want to make the redirect. (2 type on the article #REDIRECT [[ARTICLE NAME HERE]]. (3. once that is done, save the page and then refresh the page. And that is all that it takes to create a redirect, as you may know redirects are very common on wikipedia. However if there is a mis-correctly spelled ARTICLE you can move the page to the correct location. For example Bananna to Banana, and then the redirect from Bananna will be created. If you have any more questions please contact Tohru and if she doesn't answer I will help out. Cheers! ~ Arjun 02:14, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Also read Wikipedia:Redirect, this may be of great interest to you. ~ Arjun 02:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] League of Copyeditors participation drive!
Dear League member,
We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you can, please help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:
- Select an article to copy-edit from the backlog. After your copy-edit, list the article in the articles ready for final proofread section.
- Select a different article to proofread from the articles ready for final proofread section.
Thanks for your help! BuddingJournalist 01:43, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What's up?
Haven't heard from you in a long time. I feel bad for not checking up on you more... remember, I'm just a "click" away. Cheers, — ♥Tohru Honda13♥ 05:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Checking up on you
Hey, it's me Tohru, but I've made a new account (The Hippie). What's up? It's been 2 months, and nuthin' from ya! I'm guessing you don't need to be under adoption (or is real life treating you well? I hope it is). Reply please! I miss your comments. The Hippie 00:50, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] League of Copyeditors roll call
 |
Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there. The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors. |
