[edit] Gray code edit

There is a simple template to accomplish what you intended by the entry of additional blanks (keeping the right margin sidebar within the text selection). Insert the {{clear}} template at the bottom of the text. This will always work independent of the user's browser text size selection and is especially appropriate when attempting to contain an image and the associated text within the same section.

[edit] May 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for reverting your recent experiment with the page Chess. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. In the future, please do not experiment on article pages; instead, use the sandbox. Thank you. faithless (^speak) 20:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Status Bot?

What about it? --FastLizard4 (Talk•Index•Sign) 01:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

For instructions on how to get it, you could either click the link in the box, or go to User:Chris G Bot 3. Why would someone need it? It's good to see if someone is online or not, and allows people to see if you are available for collaboration (you will know why this is good when you visit the description page). --FastLizard4 (Talk•Index•Sign) 07:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
