Yes, I would be willing to adopt you, just leave a message. --Hdt83 ^Chat 06:40, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

TO hide your IP address from showing up, simply log on and edit under your log-in. Now instead of your IP address showing up as the person who made the edits, your account name will be used instead. --Hdt83 ^Chat 22:09, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Adoption

Yes, I would be willing to adopt you. Note that I don't really have any sort of "lesson plan" or any other kind of plan for that matter. Basically, if you have any questions about editing or Wikipedia, I have experience in just about everything. If I don't know the answer, I will know somewhere that I can direct you to find people that do have the answer. I am also an administrator so I can answer any questions about that as well.

[edit] Creating a page

Sure, I can help you create a new article. You may want to see this page for a quick overview. Mr.Z-man 14:50, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smile bank

If it meets the notability guideline for companies, an article might be appropriate. You might want to try using the article wizard, still under development, but it should help you with writing an article about a company. I designed much of it, so if you have any questions, just ask me. Mr.Z-man 05:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HI

I have to say, having an account automatically hides your IP address from everyone except the people called checkuser-privileged people. Oh, and one more thing: welcome to Wikipedia! ~user:orngjce223 how am I typing? 03:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

If her name is Kéllé Bryan, that should be the title. If it is Bryan Kéllé, that should be the title. Mr.Z-man 23:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you please clarify? And you can respond here, I am watching this page. Mr.Z-man 00:50, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:name

Her name is Kelle Bryan but I wanted to know apart from the heading ie the artice should she be called Bryan Kelle (as it is now or Kelle Bryan?).

[edit] Hey!

Happy new years to you too. To answer your question, when you "watch" a page, it will show up on your watchlist. The most recent changes will be at the top. On the watchlist there are several links (from left to right: diff, hist, title of page, +/- number of words, most recent person who changed the page). The diff link shows you what the person changed and the difference from the previous version. The hist link shows the complete page history of everyone who edited the page. The plus / minus shows the number of words added or removed followed by the person who changed the page. If you need more info on the watchlist, see Help:Watching_pages, Help:Diff, and Help:Page_history. If you still have questions don't hesitate to ask :) --Hdt83 ^Chat 02:05, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Question 2

To link to a section under the main article, type [[Ps3#Software|PS3 software section]] which will gove you this PS3 software section. As for the date, the date is linked so that it goes to the December 17 page but you can easily change it. Ive already edited it for you. Hope that helps. --Hdt83 ^Chat 05:50, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

First off, sorry if my editing the page seemed like it was taking credit, I was simply trying to help. Now I hope I don't misinterpret your questions but I'm assuming you mean how to change the dates on the link December 17, 2007? If you're talking about the date, click the edit button to go to edit mode, you will see the double box brackets around the date. The double box brackets denote that the text within them is linked to the corresponding page on Wikipedia. Changing the date is a simple matter of switching out the 7 for an 8 so the page now reads December 18, 2007. If you still need help then leave a message. :) --Hdt83 ^Chat 04:44, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Also, if I'm not on and you need answers right away you can also ask your question at the help desk. --Hdt83 ^Chat 05:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Adoption

I'd be happy to adopt you. Are there any areas of Wikipedia you are specifically interested in getting help with? Shell ^babelfish 15:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. One thing that might help -- you don't have to start a new section to leave a new message. If you click the edit link by a heading, you can add more messages to the same section. Putting a colon in front of your message will indent it, then the next person leaving a message in the same place will use two colons to indent theirs further an so on. After about five or six colons, people usually remove all of them and start over looks kind like this:

---

Hi

Hi

How are you?

Fine, how about you?

Great -- hey, look at this indenting!

Yeah, its pretty cool, huh?

Gets a bit silly after a while though.

Whew. That was a lot of colons.

Anyways :) I'm also on instant messengers most of the day if you happen to have a quick question -- you can find all of my contact information here.Shell ^babelfish 15:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Boy image

Hi, I noticed that you added an image to the article Boy. It looks like a good picture that might be beneficial to the article. However, I think it's better to discuss it on the article's talk page Talk:Boy (you can also reach any article's talk page by clicking the "discussion" tab at the top of the article) to see if other editors for the article agree. Lots of people try to add pictures of themselves, family members, pets, friends, etc. to various articles, and they can easily become overwhelmed with more photos than are necessary. I personally think that it's a good photo, and might be worth including in the article, but for now I've removed it because of the sorts of problems there have been in the past with people adding their own photos. If you would like to include it in the article, please propose the idea on the talk page and we'll see if there's a consensus for or against including it. Thanks. (Oh, and by the way, you can link to a photo without actually showing it by adding a colon like this – [[:Image:Human.jpg]] – useful for discussions) --Icarus ^(Hi!) 00:59, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
