[edit] Your call for help

Hi. What sort of help do you need? Cheers -- JackofOz 22:06, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


Almost everythhing can you do a make over to my page

Your page is there for you to put in whatever you please. It's for whatever you want to tell the rest of Wikipedia, and the rest of the world for that matter, about yourself or why you're here - be that nothing, a complete CV, a list of things you're interested in, or whatever. If you need help with formatting etc, there's plenty of help available on call. -- JackofOz 22:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Recommend you to my friends? Sorry, but with respect I won't be doing that. This is an encyclopedia. A great start would be to think of a topic you're interested in, find an article about it, read it, and if you can, improve it. Look in the History tab to see who's been editing the article recently, and you'll find people with common interests to you. Look at their individual edits and see what they've changed and why. You also need an official Welcome to Wikipedia, which is a toolkit of various guidelines and principles that are important for all editors to abide by. I'll see if I can locate the template and send one to you. Cheers -- JackofOz 22:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Belatedly, here it is:

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 22:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Short Pump Elementary School

A tag has been placed on Short Pump Elementary School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Rocksanddirt (talk) 20:02, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Do you Realize?

do you realize that you have made your talk page a regular wikipedia article? It is likely to get deleted/moved back. I recommend you do it first. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 20:05, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Do not move your talk page to the encyclopedia

I have moved your talk page back to the User talk namespace, after you moved it to the encyclopedia mainspace. If you are not familiar with the namespaces and how they affect things, do not move pages around. Thanks. Leebo ^T/C 20:11, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Short Pump Elementary School

I have removed the {{hangon}} tag, since the article is no longer listed for speedy deletion: as an administrator reviewing requests for speedy deletion, I decided that it would be inappropriate to delete the page summarily, but I have proposed deletion of the article if concerns are not addressed within five days. The article will need to show that the school is notable, using independent sources (i.e. not just the school's own website). Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 22:06, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, I don't know anything about the school so there's a limit to what I can do. Your best bet is to read guidance such as notability, the need for reliable sources and what Wikipedia is not and address points made there. Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 22:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image page summaries

The summary section of an Image description page is a place for you to say exactly what an image depicts, where you got it, and any other info you might need to share in order for other users to make sure that the image can by used by Wikipedia legally. It's not a place to place random text like alihebfwqerlihubglwfkjgn, because that tells us nothing. If you upload an image and you are not the copyright holder, you need to be very specific about its copyright status and your fair use rationale. Leebo ^T/C 22:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Talk Page for Everyone

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Please don't create pages like the above. Wikipedia isn't a forum and people have Wikipedia:Sandbox if they want to test. — TKD::Talk 17:30, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Signatures

See Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing your signature for some help and guidelines. — TKD::Talk 17:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to question

No, there isn't a 'talk page' per se. You won't find any form of chat area on wikipedia. But if you have a specific question, try the Wikipedia village pump. This page also contains links to other areas that may be helpful.

As for altering your signature, this can be done through your preferences, under the 'User profile' tab. You will need to know a little html, but you can also use the wiki format as well. A simple example of this would be;

[[User:Roxmysoxo|'''Rox'''<sup><font color="#323A87">my</font></sup><font color="#A61313">soxo</font>]]

This will produce;
Rox^mysoxo

Always remember to wrap your signature with the userlink "[[User:Roxmysoxo|]]". This way it will link back to your page.

One last thing. Please remember to sign your posts by using four tildes (~~~~) A^RendedWinter 17:41, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:SchoolFront.gif

Hi,

You tagged Image:SchoolFront.gif as a screenshot of a web page, but it's actually a photograph of a school. Pictures that you find on the Internet aren't necessarily pictures of web pages. :) There were two other problems with the image: (1) You need to specify who owns the copyright to that image. (2) Because Wikipedia strives to be freely distributable and modifiable, images that are not free for reuse and modification can be used only in very limited circumstances. One of the requirements for this is that images that could be replaced by freely usable and modifiable alternatives cannot be used. In this case, the image was a picture of a school building; in theory, you could take your own picture of the school and upload it under a license that is more compatible with Wikipedia's goals. — TKD::Talk 17:53, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Short Pump Elementary School

Short Pump Elementary School, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Short Pump Elementary School satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Short Pump Elementary School and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Short Pump Elementary School during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. — TKD::Talk 18:06, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

Please don't experiment with the DEFCON template (or any other template) without understanding the effect it may have - DEFCON 1 is in any case reserved for unusual circumstances. Acroterion _(talk) 22:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent contributions

Hey, please keep in mind that we are here first and foremost to build an encyclopedia. The overwhelming majority of your edits are to your own user space; I'm worried that you are forgetting that Wikipedia is not Myspace or any kind of social networking site. Thanks. GlassCobra 22:22, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, adding {{administrator}} to your userpage is a seriously bad idea. I've removed it. Other administrators might have blocked you for impersonation. The fake "new messages" bar is also not a positive contribution. Please think again. Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 22:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, next time you add that template, I'll block you myself. Bencherlite^Talk 22:32, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Responce to : Hey Good idea

I'm not sure what you mean by 'computer buds'. I can however help with any questions you may have regarding wikipedia, so feel free to ask. As for the request about your website, the answer will have to be a no, both on and off the wiki sites. Wikipedia has policies in place in regards to advertising, and I personally wouldn't advertise anything I don't know. A^RendedWinter 10:58, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter, December 2007

The Roller Coaster WikiProject Newsletter
The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter Issue I - December 2007 Got any suggestions? - Add them here
Welcome! Welcome to the new WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! Until now, in spite of a decent number of members signed up to the WikiProject, we have had no regular progress updates or information as to how much of a difference our contributions are making. This monthly newsletter aims to provide an overview of all the work that is being done behind the scenes and to celebrate the successes that would otherwise pass by unseen. Any suggestions for future additions and general help with the newsletter will be greatly appreciated.
Articles and Assessment As can be seen on the assessment page, we are so close to finishing off assessment. If all current members of the WikiProject assessed just 2 articles, the backlog of unassessed-quality articles would be eliminated. The vast majority of articles are currently assessed as stubs, which is probably to be expected as many contain an infobox and nothing else. Getting these up to start-class is incredibly easy, many simply need references and tidying up. Even if you have very little knowledge on the article subject, this task should be fairly straightforward and is the first step in raising overall article quality. The following articles reached B-class quality during November: Speed Monster
Amusement Park Portal The Amusement Park Portal is now automatically linked to from the roller coaster infoboxes. It's important to remember that we need to integrate our articles with those covered by the Amusement Park WikiProject. When working on a roller coaster article, it's always a good idea to ensure that there is a wikilink from the relevant amusement park article, otherwise no-one will even know the article exists!
Membership News During November the WikiProject was joined by 3 new members, bringing the total number up to 49. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments.
B-class Drive Just to get the idea out there, I'd like to propose a monthly article drive. With the poor state of most of the articles, it's unreasonable to suggest even a GA-drive, so a B-class drive would be more realistic. Any suggestions for January's article can be brought up on the WikiProject Talk Page. Suggested articles should be presently at start or stub class and have sufficient reliable sources available to work from.
...and finally... Thanks for reading, any feedback would be hugely appreciated! Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
