[edit] NoodleTools

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article NoodleTools, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Don't worry about it, I won't delete the article - if you feel you can establish notability as described in WP:ORG, you can delete the prod template and work on the article (if you don't remove the template, the article will be automatically deleted in a week or so). I suggest you read through Wikipedia's inclusion criteria, that will help you determine what articles would be good to create and improve upon. Good luck to you, and feel free to ask me or another editor for help whenever you need it. --Ali 19:17, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
I removed the prod notice. I think you should be able to satisfy the requirements - I did some web searching of NoodleTools and was able to come up with relevant sources. I can also help you source if you need it. --Ali 19:24, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
WP:Footnotes does a good job of describing how to create references that jump to text - have you seen it yet? --Ali 22:32, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi!

Well... I copied the toolbar off The Transhumanist's user page design help - and modified it a bit. You're free to copy the toolbar as well... I can help you have one on your page if you wish.

The Tip of the Day can be added to your user page by entering {{totd}} or {{totd b}}. The Wikipedia Signpost can be added by entering {{Signpost-subscription}}. I arranged the userboxes in a table - you can find userboxes and learn how to add them add by going here. Ali (t)(c) 20:39, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey!

No problem Spunky, ask me questions anytime! You know, I am part of the adopt-a-user program, so if you want I can adopt you as an editor. Ali (t)(c) 04:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

No, that's not true. Changes on Wikipedia show up immediately! I will put a userbox on your user page indicating that I have adopted you... you can add other userboxes if you would like. Ali (t)(c) 01:19, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
You can add userboxes by finding the ones you want here, and then putting them between the {{Userboxtop|About Me}} and {{Userboxbottom}} on your userpage. Ali (t)(c) 01:26, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't mind at all, ask away! I'm always glad to help fellow editors - and now that I have adopted you... it's kind of my obligation :P
I'm not sure which image you want to add... but you can add images by placing the image name in between two sets of brackets - like this: [[Image:Example.jpg]].
To customize the image (like resizing it, etc):
Use this syntax:[[Image:AIM Ad Hack.jpg|right|thumb|320px|AIM Ad Hack Setup Screen]]
Here, "Image:AIM Ad Hack.jpg" is the name of the image file, "right" indicates that you want your image on the right of the page, "thumb" means create a thumbnail (you generally won't change this), 320px indicates the pixel size, and "AIM Ad Hack Setup Screen" is the caption.
Typing this syntax into a page yields:
right|thumb|320px|AIM Ad Hack Setup Screen
While the original syntax - [[:Image:AIM Ad Hack]] - yields:

Image:AIM Ad Hack.jpg.

I admit, it's a bit complicated, but if you want to read up more, you can do so here. Of course, I can always place the image for you if you like. Also, I placed your userboxes in an invisible table - it keeps them more organized! If you don't like how I did it feel free to change it back. By the way, your userpage shows we have some things in common - I also have a betta fish (I called it "Oscar"), Queen and Gorillaz are two of my favorite bands, and I like to run :)
Have a good one Spunky! Ali (t)(c) 06:22, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
I did the same. I was on the cross country team for a short while, but the practices were way too long, so I quit. Now I just run for myself, and I'm hoping on taking on a race or marathon in the near future! Before I do that - I need to get back into shape, school has been making me kinda lazy :P Ali (t)(c) 02:09, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sex and the City

For sources, you put any website or media that you got information from. You should definitely mention the website that you got the casting from as a source. You can also source the actual video. WP:CITE describes when and how you should cite sources - and WP:FOOT describes how to make the footnotes on a page. You can find templates for citing souces at WP:CITET. Again, this is a bit complicated - if you have questions, you're more than welcome to ask - and if you give me information on what you used to create the article, I can cite it for you. Ali (t)(c) 07:05, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

You were close - you need to enclose the references in <ref> and </ref> tags, and then put a <references/> tag at the bottom of the page. I did that for you, so no worries. Sorry I haven't been online frequently, I've been busy with graduation stuff! Ali (t)(c) 04:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Haha you're fine - I can already tell you're learning quickly! Good luck with your last couple of days - hope your finals aren't too difficult! Ali (t)(c) 03:22, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Rocket Dog Rescue

The problem with Rocket Dog Rescue is that it needs information from other reliable sources rather than Rocket Dog Rescue itself. Information about sources can be found here. Hope that helps! Ali (t)(c) 21:47, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Horse & Pony Stories. B.
