[edit] WelcomeWelcome! Hello Master of Puppets/Talk/Archive/Archive1, 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:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! --TheParanoidOne 22:00, 27 November 2005 (UTC) [edit] Thank you!I appreciate the compliment. :) Barnstar has information on how to give the most common award we have. No, I'm not asking for one but you brought it up. :) Yeah, there is actually something called RC Patrol on here. There's several ways to do it. Some simply watch the Recent Changes page. I myself use a IRC chat room which identifies unusual activity, like pages being blanked, etc. Anyway, thanks again. We try. :) --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 02:59, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Page blankingI would like to ask you not to blank articles, not even if they meet the speedy deletion criteria. You are only adding work to other users, including administrators, who have to check if the article used to have meaningful content and has been vandalized, or if it was useless. If you encounter an obviously useless article, mark it for deletion using the templates {{delete}} or {{deletebecause|reason for deletion}} (the short versions are {{d}} and {{db|reason}}). Thank you. Regards, Mike Rosoft 20:30, 29 November 2005 (UTC) Yeah, I fixed up my little mistake after I realized that I should just mark it and move on, so no worries now. --Pastor of Muppets 22:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC) [edit] "OS Hideout" and nonsense articlesIf a completely nonsensical article gets created repeatedly by a single user, we can protect it as an empty article, with a message saying "this article should not be created". I don't usually bother to do that until the page has been recreated several times, though - deleting articles is not hard (for administrators, anyway). Thanks for your help flagging the article. CDC (talk) 00:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC) No problem, but I am a user of Wikipedia, and I don't want it to turn into Spamworld for prepubnescent 12-year-olds who mostly sit in their basement and do nothing else. I'll try to help in the future too. --Pastor of Muppets 01:46, 30 November 2005 (UTC) [edit] My sigHey, you're using my sig! :) --Pastor of Muppets 02:04, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Thaks for the greeting!And right back atcha! If I read this right, you're relatively new here, too. Welcome to us both! --CKA3KA (Skazka) 01:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] RFA for TheParanoidOneHello Master of Puppets. Thanks for the vote of confidence in my RFA. I have now officially received the badge, so I shall try my best to be a good administrator. Thanks again. --TheParanoidOne 21:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC) [edit] Thank you for my welcome!Hello Master Master of Puppets! In answer to your question, yes it is freezing cold in the UK at the moment. The rain has come now so it is a tad warmer: BBC 5-day Weather. I actually live in a large city in the East Midlands and having recently moved from the warmer South West I am noticing it more than usual! We have even had some snow (quite unusual this side of the New Year) but alas it did not settle; ironically it did in my old home where snow is much rarer than up here in then Midlands. Maybe you can help me with something? I have seen there are many ways to list yourself as a Wikipedian...I have added myself to the Wikipedia:New user log and subsequently to listing in order of arrival. However I understand that this is now depreciated and that the use of categories should be encouraged. Could you help me out with adding myself to some of these many lists? More exploring to do for now though, bye for now. - Feenix 17:17, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
You star, thanks for the helping hand on the userboxes. I just tidied up your code as some of it wasn't showing; hope you don't mmind? As you can see I have made some progress so will sort the rest out tomorrow hopefully! P.s. don't forget to sign your talk entries :-P - Feenix(talk • email) 00:21, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Userbox offerI noticed that you adopted one of my userboxes; mainly, the Vandalism one. Would you know how to create and contribute a template to the userbox area? I'm rubbish with code, I only know how to fix vandalism and the like. Thanks, mate :) --Master of Puppets(MASTER!MASTER!) 05:22, 14 December 2005 (UTC) Sure. That would be great. Show me how. (But for now I got to turn in -- Have a good evening!) --Tiger Marc 05:30, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
P.S You might want to try experimenting with signature code; very fun. For example; [[User:Tiger Marc|Tiger Marc]]<small><sup>[[User talk:Tiger Marc|(text)]]</sup></small> translates into Tiger Marc(text). Just a small tip ^_^ --Master of Puppets(MASTER!MASTER!) 05:43, 14 December 2005 (UTC) Ahhh! I misread your question! Sorry, I was mesmerized by the charms of wiki (and the terrible insomnia I've had lately). Thanks for the signature tip. A userbox is a type of template. You need to create it as a template. You could use this (and its Talk page) to make a template of a template. For example, see this Esperanza userbox template. More info is at:
How do you add the time stamp? [edit] Changing section titles?Now I have a question for you. What is the proper way to changes the title of a section? There might be links that go directly to that section of an article. I don't want to break those links, but I want to change the section's title. Any ideas? --Tiger Marc 12:43, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
[[text]] Into: [[text|other text]] Number 1 produces text; Number 2 produces other text; As you can see, they both link to the same page, but use a different title. Example: we can link to Hockey with, say, Captain Kirk, Star Trek. Hope that helped! --Master of Puppets(MASTER!MASTER!) 13:41, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Custom signatureI saw this note on the Help Desk. I thought it would be a great way to implement your custom signature! --Tiger MarcROAR! 06:40, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
EDIT: Here we go :) New and improved. --Master of Puppets 18:24, 19 December 2005 (UTC) [edit] Image copyright problem RE: Image:MatrixCross.jpgThanks for uploading Image:MatrixCross.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:
The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder. Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this: {{TAGHERE}}. There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:
For more information, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Please remember that untagged images are likely to be deleted. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future. If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --David Johnson [T|C] 01:17, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Oh noes!!! My megahurtz haev been stoeled!!!!!111Absolutely gorgeous. Though, I'm sorry to see you got a nastygram from the Wikipedia administrator/bureaucrat/thingperson. I reduced the image size so that the userbox didn't whore up my whole "Movies that don't suck" bit, but otherwise, it is very pretty. (I would have fixed it, but mother wanted me off the internet...) So, for your valiant efforts in reining in my userpage:
Cernen 08:56, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Oh, the extra fix on the image won't be necessary; the cheesiness of the current one gives it that...well...copyleft Cernen look. Thanks for the offer, though. 'Preciate it. Cernen 10:39, 25 December 2005 (UTC) [edit] ShineysWe like the shineys...oh, how they glitter. Very pretty. ^_^ Cernen Xanthine Katrena 08:57, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Loonie1.jpg listed for deletionAn image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Loonie1.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Introduction.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Introduction.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy). The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 21:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC) [edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Knighthawk.gifThanks for uploading Image:Knighthawk.gif.

I do not know who the uploader is. Again, hence the "don't know" tag. --MasTer of Puppets Picture Service 16:54, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] FlariansWhen I did a google search just now I found all of 8 unique pages, all of which seem to be about The Wizard's Amulet (whatever that is). I wanted to give the poster the chance to explain that. Oh well. I try not to get involved in fancruft stuff, so although I don't particularly think it's noteworthy, I don't think every Pokemon ever is either. If you want to AfD it for being fancruft I'd support, but it's not completely made up. I thought it might be at first as well. Makemi 01:45, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My ManifestoThank you my friend, if you know anybody else who might be interested in signing it, please send them over. And as for the Conservatives, I wouldn't worry too much, the average Conservative minority government lasts under a year. I'd come up there and join you, but I can only hope things get as good here in Merrimack, New Hampshire as you have them some day, and i'll keep on fighting the fight down here. Thanks again, Karmafist 06:17, 13 February 2006 (UTC) [edit] Thank You Again, My FriendHey, as long as you weren't "Sign it or i'll hurt you!" Or something like that, I would call that political activism rather than goonery :-) I think we're beginning to get them scared, keep up the good work!Karmafist 04:13, 14 February 2006 (UTC) [edit] Thank you, Master of Puppets......for your kind words and shiny new Barnstar! Please accept this flower as a token of my gratitude. :) Take care, Sango123 (talk) 04:20, 14 February 2006 (UTC) [edit] Diny Cristian's Space Lane IIYou've added it to the Photoshop article and stated that it's used with permission. Judging by your description, however, it seems that you're unsure whether it's correct. Are you absolutely certain that you've got permission from Diny Cristian to post this here? Did you e-mail him or ask him publicly? I totally love the image, but I think that you shouldn't put it there if you're not sure about whether Cristian would want you to. I moved it around, by the way, since it was blocking some of the text due to the float argument. --Michiel Sikma 21:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thank youThanks for the help you provided on my talk page. Once I have a clear idea of what I'm doing, I intend to return to have a closer look at your art work. I've recently been shopping for a photo editor and I'm torn between Photoshop with its great reviews and Paint Shop Pro that I'm slightly familiar with from when it was still a JASC product. I'm also planning to use GIMP. -- Whane 02:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC) [edit] Re: ThanksHey, thanks for the Barnstar, for the friendly tip, and for being a helpful leech. ;) Unfortunately, some of my classmates know about my account, but the school IP is currently on its ninth block, so they won't be able to edit anytime soon. :) Regards, Sango123 (talk) 22:18, 18 February 2006 (UTC) [edit] Image:The Cheat.png and Image:CA-NDP-2004-Logo.pngThese images are fair use. I'm afaraid fair use images are not allowed on userpages. Could you please remove them?Geni 00:39, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Image:Metallica--C10005060.jpg is porbably going to need to go as well.Geni 13:54, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] AdditionNope, this is fine. If I weren't so lazy, I would have added her myself. Thanks for doing my dirty work. ;-) --LV (Dark Mark) 01:43, 21 February 2006 (UTC) [edit] Drugs I NeedI've edited your article a bit and added {{animation-stub}} to it. It's a great start, but since it was tagged with {{prod}}, would it be possible to have a subsection on this animation in the JibJab article instead? Just a suggestion. :) –Sango123 (e) 03:54, 22 February 2006 (UTC) P.S. Sorry for the slight delay, but I was compelled to watch it. ;) [edit] BensuxThe wonder creation you wanted to see said: 'Born in the year of 1987, Ben was predestined to be teh sux.' I deleted it, which is why you can't see it from his contribution sheet. Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Talk!) 09:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC) [edit] I'm starting a new article and I'm stuck! Help!I'm starting a article called World Rally Championship Games. This will hopefully contain stage and country lists and driver, co driver and team lists for the Playstaion 2 games, WRC World Rally Championship, WRC Extreme II, WRC 3, WRC 4 and WRC:Rally Evolution/WRC: Rally Evolved. How do I start an article? (Headline, Box Art etc) Please Help and if you can't please tell someone else about my troubles. Thanks. Col du Turini 19:49, 22 February 2006 (UTC) [edit] Drugs I NeedDrugs I Need has been proposed for deletion. Please see the article for details. NickelShoe 20:49, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please see my article World Rally Championship Games and...Please see my article World Rally Championship Games and help me because I would like the first paragraph, then the contents, then a overview of WRC World Rally Championship, all the stages, all the teams, cars, drivers and then have a break. (Line across the page) I can't figure out any way to do it! Please Help! [edit] Re: Vandal Accounts?None of the accounts have made any contributions yet, so they're currently not doing any harm. A new user might have registered a username, decided s/he didn't like it, then re-registered with a similar one. But thanks for the notification. :) Regards, Sango123 (e) 20:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC) [edit] Re: Missing BarnstarSo, if I think I deserve a barnstar, I put the missing barnstar on my userpage. Do I get it now? Evan Robidoux 20:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC) OK. Thanks. Evan Robidoux 21:00, 24 February 2006 (UTC) [edit] SignatureTyping:

Regards, Sango123 (e) 00:02, 25 February 2006 (UTC) [edit] Family GuyI'd be happy to see it put back in given reason. Though you could just as easily call bad or simplistic animation 'style choices'. South Park pokes fun at itself for being so poorly animated, their episodes are created in a little under 3 days. But if this has been a fairly widely criticised point of the show and youve got some sources put it right back in there. Discordance 00:04, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
