GuidelinesWelcome to my talkpage! I'd love to hear any suggestions, news, or anything you have to say to make you and I better Wikipedians. But before you type away, please read over the guidelines so that you can reach me in the most effective way. Thanx!
WikifunOver the course of my Wiki-life, I'm going to introduce some riddles and games users can win barnstars for if they succeed. I figured it would be a good way to make Wiki-friends, so why not try it out? This month's riddle... What is the sound of one hand clapping? |

Re: A short little questionHey Jimbo. Before I say I say anything, this is one fine website you got here. :) Okay, the question. Well, on your infobox, you have three userboxes. I thought it would be a good idea to put some userboxes in my infobox. However, when I did get around to doing it, all of my ID box content was shifted up, so it wasn't centered, and it created a thick grey line between the info and ID content. Can you tell me why? And, if it's not to much trouble, can you tell me how to fix it so the ID content is centered? Because right now, it looks less than fabulous. Check out my userpage so you can see what I'm talking about. [1] Thanx for reading, Jimbo. Scrumshus 18:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
About the outlinesJoturner, I really like your Userpage layout, so I decided to put a page outline on mine. However, when I did, it didn't outline the enitre page and has a huge blank spot in the middle of it. How do I fix it? I'm only 13 and don't understand WIkipedia's complex stuff for the most part. If you can help me, that would be great. Scrumshus 20:19, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Re:Barnstar
Show/HideHey Tariqabjotu, not to be burden, but you do know Wikipedia a whole lot better than I do. i was experiementing with those windows that you can 'Click to Show' and 'Click to Hide'. I made a successful one a User:Scrumshus/Userbox mini. However, when I tried to work it into my inofbox on the left side of my userpage, it wouldn't cooperate. I tried working it inot my alternate inofbox, but it didn't work either. If you follow my links, you'll see what I'm talking about. Can you help me fit my Show/Hide bar into my inofobx? Thanx, Scrumshus 17:06, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Re: This user is also an american idiotReally? You made that userbox? That is so damn cool. Which leads me to my question. How'd you find my profile? (Unless your userboxes track which users use 'em). And I'd also like to say you have a real cool userpage. It really looks nice. VelocityEX 05:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC) Green Day good articleI really do want to get it listed as a good article again, but I don't think it's ready yet. We still need a lot more citations, cut down on the info for each album (the album pages can be used for that), cut down on POV and fannish writing (which got it delisted in the first place), and so forth, and because of this it would probably be automatically denied if we listed it as a good article nominee. I'll work on it some more in the next few days. WesleyDodds 21:38, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Current mac project collaborationThe current WP:MAC collaboration is Apple II family. Please devote some time to improve this article to featured status. — Wackymacs 14:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC) Re: You did it again :)Scrumshus, you violated the fair use policy again by inserting Image:Apple Safari.png into User:Scrumshus/Random project [2]. I removed it from the page [3]. I know you know these issues now, let's just be a tad bit more careful, ok? :) All the best, --Durin 16:50, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
A Couple QuestionsI have seen you around and I have the American Idiot userbox you created. I was wondering how you got obtained the code {User American Idiot}. I have recently created my own userbox and would like to get a code like that but am not sure if I have to get a template page or what. Also, you have Top 10 Websites on your User page. Are we allowed to have those on there since that could be considered advertisement? I would add one too, but I am not sure if it violates the rules (my page needs a major revamp). Orfen 22:41, 25 August 2006 (UTC) Welcome to Punk Music wikiprojectcool, thanks for joining us. I'll alphabetize your username. voice your opinion about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theta Beta Potata (second nomination). Also read the main page Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music to see what needs work. Xsxex 23:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC) Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk musicWhats up? Hi, I'm trying to gather some more interest and support for the Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music. Please check out the topics and lets get our WikiProject to function better. I've taken an interest in the Wikipedia:WikiProject hip hop and I consider that WikiProject to be better developed. Hopefully we can all work together to improve articles relating to punk. Also, I am trying to gather support and opinions concerning the punk house article and specifically the Theta Beta Potata article which is currently in AfD (x2) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theta Beta Potata (second nomination). Please check it out and voice your opinion. Xsxex 06:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC) Re: About your signatureWhat I did was I put User:Orfen/Sig in the signature box in My Preferences using the template {{User:Orfen/Sig}}. I then checked the box underneath it that says Raw signature. It says no templates or whatever but when I saved it and checked in my sandbox it started to work so everytime I type the "~~~~" it will come up as my sig. Orfen User Talk 00:30, 29 September 2006 (UTC) Image:Greenday_Mud.png and Image:Aimovie.jpgHi, Scrumshus. Do you know who created theses images and theirs copyright status? The "source information" you provided was only a direct link to a jpg scan of a magazine's page, where no info on it's creator and copyright status could be found. And please not that the {{Magazinecover}} tag is not appropriate for this images, as they are not magazine covers being used in articles about the magazine issues. Thanks, --Abu Badali 17:00, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Image tagging for Image:Green-Day.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Green-Day.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well. For more information on using images, see the following pages: This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 07:37, 3 October 2006 (UTC) Hello thereHi. I don't believe we have met before, as I have just stumbled across your signature on WP:GAC, and being intrigued, clicked it. What I was brought to was a masterpiece in User Pages, and I would like to congratulate you on creating such a piece of work, and would like to inquire tw things: 1) Did you create it and 2) Where can I get one?

It was so long ago, I can't remember, but I probably found it on some person's userpage. If I find who's it was, I'll tell you. Thanks - The RSJ 01:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC) link colorsHi, its me scrumshus again, all grown up. I was wondering (since you're the most knowledgable person i know on wikipedia) if there is a way to change all link colors in a page. not each link seperatly, but as a whole, because on my page, the blue links dont reflect on the black and gray too well. thnx for reading, Good 'Ol scrumshus Talk to me 23:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

We might be able to finally bring the article back to Good status or hopefully Featured in the near future. Please check it out if you have the chance. Thanks, and happy holidays! Orfen User Talk | Contribs 19:25, 24 December 2006 (UTC) please stop whiningplease look at Wikipedia:Userbox migration. userboxes are NOT allowed in the template space, they must be moved to the user space. if you want to fight that, don't come crying to me, cry to the creator of that (Jumbo Wales). Scepia 21:32, 24 December 2006 (UTC) Green Day imagesPlease see the talk page for the Green Day article. I have added an introduction to the Related Projects section, so please add Fair Use to the images you added. If this is done then Green Day will be a Good Article again. I would add Fair Use but I am not sure how to go about it, so can you please do it? Thanks! Orfen User Talk | Contribs 20:42, 26 December 2006 (UTC) Re:imprtant scales, etc.I have added my comment to the WikiProject talk page. I think it is a very good idea, however, it will take a lot of work. Unless we can think of an easier way this might be a bit of work. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 05:05, 29 December 2006 (UTC) Orphaned fair use image (Image:GreenDayProHead.ogg)Thanks for uploading Image:GreenDayProHead.ogg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 09:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC) Corrupted OGG'sHi there the Green Day samples (1, 2, 3, 4) you've uploaded are corrupted. Please upload a fixed version or they will be deleted.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Social DistortionHello! I just created a new project that I thought you would be intrested in joining. I'm also looking for members who would intrested to be part of the project. There are some things that need to be done on the Social Distortion article, so feel free to join. Just go here. Alex 04:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC) WP:ADOPTHi there, As a user looking to Adopt with the Adopt-a-User program, there has been some ongoing developments that we would like to bring to your attention, as well as request help with the backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user. You should know that the way the adoption process works has changed slightly. To decrease workload at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user on offering adoption please change the {{Adoptme}} template to {{Adoptoffer}} on the user's user page, and this will add the user to Category:Wikipedians having been offered adoption. Users that have already been offered adoption can always have a second or third offer, but by separating out those users that have not had an adoption offer yet, it is hoped that no one will go lacking. Once adoption is complete please use the templates found here on the Adoptee's and your user page. Also numerous Adopters have been adding their details to a list of users available for adopting, to offer a more personalised service and allow new users to browse through and pick their own Adopter. The quickest way to adopt though, is still to contact users at the Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user. Furthermore a new Adopter's Area has been created where you can find useful resources and other Adopter's experiences. Please feel free to add any resources you have and if you know of any useful resources for new users / Adoptees then you can add them here. So I hope you get adopting soon - and if you have any general questions or suggestions about the further development of Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User please bring them to our talk page. Cheers Lethaniol 15:21, 13 January 2007 (UTC) Unspecified source for Image:Gtmtsya.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Gtmtsya.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:45, 28 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:45, 28 March 2007 (UTC) Retirement

BigDT (416) 02:42, 21 April 2007 (UTC) Your SigHello Scrumshus, I recently noticed your sig is changing the text on pages. It was like this at Template talk:Green Day until I fixed it by adding </font> at the end of the sig. As you can see at this link the </font> seemed to have worked.

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.

BetacommandBot 07:35, 12 May 2007 (UTC) Fair use rationale for Image:03_Welcome_To_Paradise.oggThanks for uploading Image:03_Welcome_To_Paradise.ogg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 09:00, 12 May 2007 (UTC) Image:I_Fought_The_Law.oggI have tagged Image:I_Fought_The_Law.ogg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 14:40, 12 May 2007 (UTC) |
