For being one of the kindest and most enjoyable Wikipedians to have around, I hereby award you the The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar. Take care, Sango123 (e) 00:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

No, that's fine (although a tiny bit of credit would be very nice ;-). I like your choice of colors. Regards, Sango123 (e) 23:28, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! I had to blink several times when I first saw your user page, but the bright colors definitely make it more memorable. :) Sango123 (e) 23:42, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Aww, your Welcomer's Barnstar is so cute! :D But in all seriousness, thank you for such a kind gesture. I'm a bit speechless, so here's something long overdue. :)
P.S. An image doesn't have to be an official Barnstar for you to award it. Have you considered Wikipedia:Personal user awards?
Looks good! I get the same thing from my classmates: "What's the point of fixing an article when someone is just going to vandalize it again?" Hmmm... :) Regards, Sango123 (e) 01:01, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Runes

I'm not sure. GW puts less emphasis on equipment, but it certainly has an effect. If anything, I think runes should be mentioned somewhere because of their effect on a build and their tradeoff between stronger skills and health. Maybe a short section in the Builds page? --Bakkster Man 20:40, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Draco

I just wanted to drop in to see how things are going with you and to see if you have had a chance to finish the Draco image. I'm sorry to hear that your PC is down. -- Whane 22:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Wow check out how my signature clashes with the background, ouch my eyes. :-) -- Whane 22:34, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!!!

Drink up!
Drink up!

Woohoo!!! 1,000,000 down... countless to go. Here's to the milestone! See ya in another million. --LV (Dark Mark) 03:07, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Err... I swear copper, I didn't know his age. He told me he was 23. Honestly. Ya gotta believe me. I mean, it's non-alcoholic. Yeeeeah, that's the ticket. ;-) --LV (Dark Mark) 14:29, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RFA

Hi, there! Thank you so much for your kind words and thinking of me for an RFA. I am obligated to say "no", but that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. (Maybe this will explain a little bit of my reasoning behind my answer.) You were so kind to think of me...it means a lot, coming from a Wikipedian of your stature. Thanks again!--ViolinGirl 02:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC) BTW, bud...I'm telling you! :D Just kidding...

LOL, I was just kidding about the colors. Whatever you want to do, of course. While they are rather...er, bright...it's your personal preference, and as Sango said...the colors make it more...memorable! XD Thanks again for your recommendation of me for adminship...but I'm really working on getting my education right now, and don't feel like I'd really be admin-worthy, as you put it. :) Thanks anyway...ciao!--ViolinGirl 15:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Did you click "raw links" in your sig thing? That might help, if you would do that. Let me know...(although, a reply might be a while. If you find someone else who can help you better, feel free...) Ciao!--24.58.164.194 21:32, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Opps, I forgot to sign in. oh well. :/ --24.58.164.194 21:33, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GW Equipment page

Hello! I added a bit more information to the Equipment page you made about GW. I was wondering a few things about it, and I left a comment on its talk page. I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd be able to comment whenever your pc is functional again and give some input. :) Thank you! FallenAngelEyes 07:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I'll see what else I can add tonight! Thank you so much for the custom sig, by the way, I love it! Thanks for the warm welcome, and I look forward to helping build up the GW pages :) FAE 01:06, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Pranks and sometimes about graphics...

Hello Master of Puppets. If you would like to create a graphic thing for my user page, that would be ok. I'm glad you think I'm great, reading that really made my day better :-D It's alright that you stole the new messages trick, quite a few editors already took it from me. ;) Thank you! Moe ε 20:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

Try it without using <, >, or ".

<font color="orange"><big>M</big></font><span style="cursor:help"><font color="red"><small><sup>o</small></span></sup><font color="orange"><big>P</big></font>

Regards, Sango123 (e) 21:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Wait! Try re-nesting the tags:

Sango123 (e) 21:55, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm... How about copying the code into User:Master of Puppets/Sig and typing {{subst:User:Master of Puppets/Sig}} ~~~~~ into the signature box in your prefs? Thanks, Sango123 (e) 22:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey, no problem! Glad I could help a bit. And you won't have to worry about "cluttering up Wikipedia" because it's subst'ed. :) (Aw, darn. I was supposed to be on wikibreak!) See you soon, Sango123 (e) 22:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
No, that's perfectly fine. :) I just have the terrible habit of refreshing my watchlist too often. Regards, Sango123 (e) 22:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:RE:Graphics

Wow, that sounds great! I never have been that good at animation myself. ;-D Moe ε 22:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for letting me know my user page was stacking wierd. I removed the nested boxes, so it should render better now. Let me know if it doesn't. Thanks. --Bakkster Man 05:04, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Awards Page

I hope you don't mind that I borrowed your idea (and format) of making an awards page. - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 01:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cookie

You may have a cookie for helping me out with my pages right back. - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 01:37, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Esperanza

Welcome, Master of Puppets/Talk/Archive/Archive2, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee , KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, Titoxd and FireFox. The elections have ended.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via email or talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

Thanks! - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 01:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opinion

Can I ask your opinion on page layout? Of course I can! Do you prefer this (before I started messing with the layout & categories) or this? Am I just going nuts and over-categorizing everything or does it really look acceptable? Thanks. - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 02:41, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moe Graphic

That's awesome looking, is that the final draft or is that a test image? Moe ε 03:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll try it on my user page and if I don't like something, I'm sure I will complain. :) Just kidding, I think that image is great and I appriciate you doing this for me. Thank you! Moe ε 04:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I already looked through your gallery before you made my new image, I like a lot of your work. :-D Moe ε 04:20, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Your welcome, if you ever need anything, you know where to find me. :p Moe ε 04:28, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! For some reason I feel like I should give you something, but I'm not sure what. I'll figure something out. :p Moe ε 04:52, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
I told you I would find something. :-D

Image:GDBarnstar1.png

I award you the graphic designer's barnstar! Moe ε 05:02, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Very nice! - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 05:11, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiduction

Oh yeah! I used to know this. I guess I'm suffering from dementia, and probably I've stopped looking at article titles, and am reverting purely on the basis of "keywords" :) deeptrivia (talk) 04:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Sorry about that... I was chasing a vandal and got overzealous. Cheers! --Scaife (Talk) Don't forget Hanlon's Razor 06:35, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hiya!

Thanks for the welcome, I'm excited someone noticed me. I'm also SUPER EXCITED that someone else thinks George Bush is a sock puppet. YES HE IS. Mmmmhhmm.

I might swipe some of your userboxes. Maybe.

You=cool.

Laurenkendall 06:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, he is most definately a sock puppet, as is Stephen Harper (now [us] Canadians have the next four years to realize just how crap things really are). The two are cut from the same mold. And MoP is definately cool. - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 06:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


Thanks for the signature stuff! I feel special. Woot! What is wrong with today's politicians? They;re talking about impeachment now...I'm all for getting rid of Bush, but not if it means Cheney is president. Spawn of Stupid vs. Spawn of Satan? Kind of a lame deal either way. grrr. Anyhow.... I'll come back and comment more, and try my darnedest to bug the crap out of you. Lauren Kendall 07:01, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Back from break

Hi, Master of Puppets! Thank you for your kind words regarding my wikibreak; they meant a lot to me. :) Staying away from this place proved impossible, so I'm back. There are simply too many friendly people around here. ;) Happy belated 1,000,000th article milestone! All the best, Sango123 (e) 20:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

P.S. You've been quite busy! A belated welcome to Esperanza, by the way.

Yeah, so much for that wikibreak. Even on the days I didn't contribute, I obsessively viewed my watchlist every hour or so. :/ Well, thanks for the welcome back, and it's nice to finally see you in Esperanza! I like the addition of the green E! in your signature, but you don't seem like a very MoPE-y person. ;) Feel free to ignore that last sentence. Cheers, Sango123 (e) 22:00, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
You seem to have a distinct liking for bright colors. *puts on sunglasses* :D There are some nice shades of red and orange here, too. Sango123 (e) 22:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello master

I am User:Slipknot222, friend of Moe epsilon. If you see on his talk and user page, he has his name up there and all his stuff outlined, and i tried to get it like that. If you can help, please reply, he refered me to you, and you look like you are an expert a t this stuff, i really don't want it just like his but ya know, Slipknot222 in green, and like if you can, one half on the square blue and the other one orange, gators colors if ya know what i mean. If you cant help right now, its ok, i can wait, but thats what im trying to accomplish. Thanks.--Slipknot222 23:04, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LOL!!!!

Roflmfao! Thats funny, "is that all" sounds like you do this in your sleep or something, i got a kick outta that! To be specfic then, i want slipknot part in dark green and the 222 in the flame wall read, because red and black reps slipknot. Royal blue and some dark orange. lol thanks, your awsome masta.--Slipknot222 23:13, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Its not arrogent!

Its cool, it sounds like it defines you and thats what really gave me a good start about you, a VERY good first impression, i hope soon, i will make a good one, thats what i hope to get with all.--Slipknot222 23:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Navigation popups

You might be interested in this, then again you might not.

It's really an interesting tool, even though it slows down my browsing by a few seconds.

To add: Copy this to that and hard-refresh your browser (the page will tell you how).

Let me know if you think this is something useful :) - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 23:35, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comments re your brand spanking new updated userpage.

My ex-girlfriend (and family) was from Winnepeg (I promise I won't hold that against you).

Hmm we're the same height, but I'm fatter *growls at self*. Hmm, I want a "me stuff" box too but there's no room for it on my page (that I can see). Can't think of anything else at the moment. - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 02:11, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I was 5'0 at 12, 5'4 at 13, then the huge growth spurt. I don't have that much weight because as I said, I grew very quickly. I also have a high metabolism, so I barely gain fat. And don't hold it against me, I didn't choose to be tall and skinny :P --M o P 02:17, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
I forget when my big growth spurt was. I used to be 160# until I took medication that had the side-effect of lowering my metabolism (grrr). I'll take tall any skinny and day of the week instead of 20ish pounds overweight. Oh and I put a link to my own 'about me' page (on my website) on the page headers (I started creating one on Wikipedia and decided against unnecessary duplication). - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 02:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
That's why I'm against medications; I haven't been sick for 8 years, so I don't really need them. --M o P 03:19, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Box

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with templates like {{boxboxtop}}. Were you thinking of anything specific for your user page? Thanks, Sango123 (e) 03:36, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

My humble opinion: (1) Get rid of the table of contents, as it's taking up some space your userboxes could occupy. (2) Don't contain your "Me stuff" in a box template (which comes with fixed width attributes). I need to get offline now, but would you mind if I experimented with your user page design in my sandbox later? :) Thanks! Sango123 (e) 04:03, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

I noticed the orange, could you just make it regular orange, it looks great, Thanks!:)--Slipknot222 21:36, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Versoin of what?

Like the new colors?--Slipknot222 23:23, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ok ill test it here

And.....--<font color="red">Slipknot</font><span style="cursor:help"><font color="red">222</span> 23:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

hmmm... something went wrong...I copied and pasted....hmmm?--<font color="red">Slipknot</font><span style="cursor:help"><font color="red">222</span> 23:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Do you know what is wrong?

[edit] User page

Hey, I don't mind at all! But are you sure it's a good idea to thank someone who stalks your page through their watchlist? :D Cheers, Sango123 (e) 03:30, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Wait a minute, I do that too. Uhm...erm.. *runs fast* - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 04:06, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey MoP i gotta question.

I have asked Moe this and i am asking you, and its not a bad question, its about RuneScape. Do you play it? If you do, let me know. Thanks:)--Slipknot222 01:34, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Aww, I liked my version of your signature better. *runs off* - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 01:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signature II

Hey, MOP, sorry I wasn't able help you better. I guess I'm more true to my wikibreak than Sango is...LOL! Hope everything's going well, your userpage looks GREAT now! I don't even mind the colors, now. :D It looks a lot less cluttery. :) Nice job!--ViolinGirl 16:17, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Ah, yes, that might make it easier to navigate. I'm thinking of changing my userpage, but I'm not sure what I would do different. I don't want to have a bunch of subpages, just because I don't think I could keep track of them all. Alas, the troubles of Wikipedians, eh? :) Ciao!--ViolinGirl 16:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Maybe I will, because of the new tool Sango just told me about. ;) Very helpful. But, thanks for your compliment. You know, one is never happy with one's userpage...(or, very rarely). Kind of like me with my bedroom...ALWAYS changing it around...practically. Cheers!--ViolinGirl 16:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:RuneScape

What was your guy, if you dont use it, can i ya know, just see how far you tried it and stuff. I am kinda in to it so, i just like wanna see it. Thanks:)--Slipknot222 16:46, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Wow! I didnt know it exsited that long. I just started 8 months ago.:)--Slipknot222 16:49, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Status Changer

If entered the code correctly and everything, you should see a new feature at the top of your user page next to the log out function. It says:

online|busy|offline

Whenever you want to change your status you click it and it will auto change it for you. As for the way it is on your user page, you make like a template such as in your case:

{{User:Master of Puppets/status}}

Whenever you change your status, it will say whatever you clicked (online, busy, or offline) like it does on my user page. If you want me to do it, I can help. Moe ε 04:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Go to your monobook and read the top part. Do as the commands at the top of the page say or it won't work. Moe ε 04:22, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunantly, we can't edit eachother's monobooks. If I could I would for you, but I can't. The most I can do Is tell you to retry it because I think you're missing step 3. What browser are you using? (Internet explorer, firefox) Moe ε 04:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I seem to be having problems with mine. Grr. That edit to my main page you did didn't help. I pasted what I needed to into monobook, refreshed (the right way) and nothing. - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 06:07, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New code

Ok try these three steps without pausing in between each step (I suggest reading this completely then doing it)

1) Blank monobook again.
2) Enter new code:

3) MOST IMPORTANT After saving, immediatly hit ctrl and F5 on your keyboard.


After doing this, tell me if it helps. Moe ε 04:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Try this code above; it's differant than the first one I gave BionicWilliam. Moe ε 04:51, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
And by calling me this, I guess it didn't work? Moe ε 04:56, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Oh, thats good. :-D BionicWilliam's got his fixed too. For a minute, I thought you called me a clueless snot-nosed punk and then gave me a barnstar. To say I was confused at that would be an understatement. But I'm glad you're monobook works, and that I'm not clueless snot-nosed punk, although thats up for debat. :-D Moe ε 05:07, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
From personal experiances with you I think it's just some people aren't very nice. I think your a wonderful person, rather than a snot-nosed punk. Who ever called you that was lying, or jealous. :-D Moe ε 05:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

(PS. I removed the above code to your monobook to make your talk page normal sized again.)

I tend to agree. It's good people that make Wikipedia a worthwhile place. - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 06:19, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. :-D Time for sleep, Later! Moe ε 05:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the help. My signature is finally something I like!

Srikeit 07:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I kinda jumped in as I thought you were offline. Sorry :( -M o P 13:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I didn't go to sleep yet. My computer is online 24/7. (Something's wrong with your signature that seems to be making everything else boldfaced). - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 00:03, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My first Single...!!!!

Hii...

[edit] User page and graphic

Hi, Master of Puppets. Thanks for the Barnstar; I'm glad you like your user page! :D It's not quite finished yet (I got a bit distracted), so there's some awkward positioning at places. Hope you don't mind if I do some further tweaking. :) Cheers, Sango123 (e) 22:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I'd be honored if you designed a title graphic for me. :)

Aww, how cute... I really like it! And if it's not too much of a bother, would you mind changing the font to Trebuchet MS? Thanks so much! Sango123 (e) 23:02, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

A plate of cookies for Master of Puppets. :D Sango123 (e) 23:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, if you insist. :) Could you get a glassy effect over the whole image? Thanks, Sango123 (e) 23:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
P.S. Trying purging if it still displays the old version.
The snowy effect is perfect; thanks again for making the graphic! And some vandal even commented on it too. :) Cheers, Sango123 (e) 23:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
I agree with the cookies! - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (TCW) 00:07, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

is there a way to change an image's format from .bmp to something else? ILovEPlankton 06:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
