User talk:Leujohn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, Leujohn, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Could you please cite this fact you added to the cactus article? I removed it because it didn't seem right, but I may be wrong about this. Thanks.

Again, welcome!  Dar-Ape 04:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cactus

Thank you very much! I have combined your citation with one I got from BBC to conclude that cactus roots can grow outwards to 20 meters. See my edit. I hope this is good, but if anything seems amiss please let me know, or you may simply improve it yourself. I once again appreciate your response and hope you are finding Wikipedia a great place to be so far! Cheers, Dar-Ape 21:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption and your user page

I am happy to adopt you, although I must caution you that I will be very busy the next few days and might not be able to respond immediately to questions. However, after that, I should be back to editing almost every day. As for your userpage, you should be able to start it by either clicking the red "Leujohn" at the top of your screen (to the left of "my talk") or clicking the "user page" tab to the left of the "discussion" tab at the top of this talk page, which will then open a page called "Editing User:Leujohn," which you can type into and save. If you are still having problems, let me know and I will start your userpage for you, at which point you should be able to edit it and tailor it to your preferences. Thanks for the smile! I am at your service, Dar-Ape 01:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Another thing: there is currently no link to either you userpage or your talk page in your signature. It is very helpful to do this, and I think you may have accidentally clicked the "raw signature" box under "my preferences." You can see WP:SIG for more information about signatures.

You shouldn't need MS word; you can do everything in your internet browser in that edit window-- no downloading/uploading necessary. Anyway, I have started your userpage for you, and you can edit it by following this link, or by clicking on the blue "Leujohn" at the very top of the screen, and then clicking the blue "edit" tab. You can get information on and ideas for your userpage and userboxes at Wikipedia:User page and Wikipedia:Userboxes, respectively.
As for topics, do you mean user categories? Also, anyone may join the Counter-Vandalism Unit, and I'm glad you've taken an interest in doing so! Also, regarding your signature again, try pasting this: [[User:Leujohn|Leujohn]] into your signature box under "preferences", and then make sure the "raw signature" box is checked. I hope I'm not overwhelming you, and please let me know if I'm throwing a little too much at you at one time. Happy editing, Dar-Ape 17:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Technical difficulties

Well, if neither following this link nor anything else I said before works, I must say I'm not sure what the problem is. I woulld advise asking for help at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical). As for categories, you can add yourself to a category like Category:Wikipedian recent changes patrollers by simply placing [[Category:Wikipedian recent changes patrollers]] onto the bottom of your user page and then saving. I realize you are not able to edit your userpage, but if you'd like to add yourself to any categories, just let me know and I will be happy to do it for you. I hope you're able to find a solution to your editing problem, Dar-Ape 18:03, 13 February 2007

Done. Best, Dar-Ape 17:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boxes and other matters

Hello! I've added the boxes for you, along with {{boxtop}} and {{boxbottom}} to keep things organized. Let me know if you'd like another scheme or customization for {{boxtop}}. Congratulations on winning the school spelling bee! To join the typo team, simply add your name to the list and begin fixing typos-- it's that easy. On another note, would you mind leaving my new messages under a new heading at the bottom of my page when a lot of time has gone by since the past message? This makes it easier for me to find new messages for me and organize them chronologically. Thanks, Dar-Ape 02:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

[edit] I would...

I would, but User:Statusbot/Template does not exist, nor does User:Statusbot, and I didn't see either in the deletion log. Perhaps you have confused this with something else? Best, Dar-Ape 22:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
