Templates
Any page with the template. Edit this page. At the bottom, underneath the edit box is a list of templates used. Click on River Medway. Edit this page- and the code appears. I have taken out the duplicate River Beult- but left a mistake for you to practise on. (River Len, River Loose-- in wrong order)! To create a new banner. Copy the text from here. On a page edit- type {{ New banner name}} . Show preview. Click on the redlink. A blank edit page appears. Paste in text, and customise. The Medway template was cloned from the River Stour template, which I found when adding infoboxes to all Kent rivers that were missing them. I am unsure about the background colour used as it is not consistent with {{navbox }} used in some Tonbridge and Malling articles. I may try to clean that up soon!.
Current events
I noticed that you edited Portal:Current events/United Kingdom and I was wondering as I am the starter and at the moment really the only contributor whether you would consider keeping up to date for next week as I am going to be away from a computer and I would like it to be kept up to date, I will quite understand if you do not want to, but just once or twice adding a few things from mon-fri would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Harland1 (t/c) 12:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks alot!LB22 (talk) 20:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Population without double counting
Hi. Yes - that's a good idea. I seem to remember some discussion about this from some months ago, though. I'll check on that before going any further. Dickie (talk) 15:56, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout
The Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout is not spam. It is just a firearm related article detailing a newly announced sniper rifle. There are many other articles like it. As it is newly announced, there is very little information about it, thus I have to quote the manufacturer's website. Thank you for your time, Hayden120 (talk) 13:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- By the way, can you please explain to me what separates my article (why you thought it should have been speedily deleted) to say, an article such as Remington 700? First-party manufacturer references are obviously the most accurate for the statistics anyway. Hayden120 (talk) 13:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
EnviroCar
Hello and good day.
I was curious about which portion of the EnviroCar article would be considered advertising? I have reread it and all the information is verifiable and from an objective P.O.V. In addition, all the information has been cited from the actual news-sources that the information appeared in. --ReggieGorilla (talk) 21:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC) Thank you for your time.
Thank you for all your help in fixing the topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ReggieGorilla (talk • contribs) 21:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Updated service badge comments
FYI. I just updated your service badge comments from Yeoman Editor (Star with 2 dots) to Established & Experienced Editor (Star with 3 dots). Just helping you out on this. Chris (talk) 01:54, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
DYK update
I'll do it in a tick. Can you do the local image upload beforehand, though - my head is not functioning properly. Daniel (talk) 10:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Userbox
Hi, I fixed your Barnstaraward box problem by adding a parameter. This is the {{{1}}} part. Now, if we insert {{User:Mjroots/Userboxes/Barnstaraward|[[humor]]}}, we get:
 |
This user was awarded a Barnstar for humor. |
You can add as many parameters as you like by going down the numbers. bibliomaniac15 I see no changes 01:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Userbox (2)
Thank you again, Michael. Much appreciated. It's expanded my user page a bit: I really must do more with that page than say "Hi"! Best wishes. --Jim Hardie (talk) 19:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Re your message
No problem, though I think the user in question may get blocked before long if they keep this up. -- Roleplayer (talk) 11:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- OK that's good to know. -- Roleplayer (talk) 11:40, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Your User Page
Yes, I like the things you have done to your User Page and have redesigned my User Page modeled on yours. I want to learn your techniques you are using and take advantage of them. I recently did a ten-fold improvement on Cone Mills Corporation and submitted for a possible DYK. If you have time look it over for tweaks and any of your improvements. Thanks.--Doug talk 14:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC) P.S. My wife is from Groningen, Netherlands (50 years ago).--Doug talk 15:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
DYK & lists
I saw the comment from User:House of Scandal that he didn't like lists on the DYK talk page. I have self-nom'd a list article. I did check the rules, and saw nothing there that disbarred lists from appearing on DYK. Are lists not eligible, or was it for some other problem with the article that it failed? - List of Tree Cities in Ohio Mjroots (talk) 07:09, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Lists are eligible but only the general prose section is considered to be part of the length criteria. So something like australian Olympic medalists in swimming pass because the prose section is long enough. Teh tabulated section isn't counted. Blnguyen (vote in the photo straw poll) 07:12, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Oh it's there all right. It might be a bit hard to spot. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Service award
Thank you for the award, Michael. It's amazing how quickly the number of edits accumulates! All the best. --Jim Hardie (talk) 18:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
