Re:Sikes

For information on the project, try the links at WP:PW. As far as finding the time, I do so when I have a free moment. Some days I don't get on Wiki at all, others I may be here for hours. You just need to figure out how to balance your time effectively and still get your schoolwork done. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 19:27, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:Wiki friends

I just added it myself. Would you like me to add it to your page? If yes, please write back with the users that you would like to be in the section as your friends. iMatthew 2008 22:30, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

You can most definitely add me. Also, when referring to a user, you must put *[[User:Gavyn Sykes|Gavyn Sykes]]*. Other wise, *Gavin Sykes* takes you to an article. One more thing, please do not start another section on my talk page. Once you start a section, you can leave all of your comments under that section. iMatthew 2008 01:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Go ahead and add me too. I don't mind. :) Gavyn Sykes (talk) 23:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I have to update the userbox myself actually. It is not done manually. If you would like it, feel free to take the code. Also, are you interested in adoption? I know somebody who can really help you, and always answer any questions that you have. iMatthew 2008 21:57, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Let me talk to him first, then I'll get back to you. iMatthew 2008 22:05, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I am TrUCo9311, I am the friend Matt was talking about. Would you like me to adopt you?TrUCo9311 22:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Well I just need to add a userbox to my usepage, and you need to add this user box on your page {{adoptee|Truco9311}}TrUCo9311 22:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Also, would you like a custom made signature? I can make one for you, just let me know. iMatthew 2008 22:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem! What color(s) would you like the text to be? Do you want a background for the text? Bold? iMatthew 2008 22:45, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I will do that. Any questions for me?TrUCo9311 23:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Wait where is your guestbook?TrUCo9311 23:02, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
How about I create you a guestbook? Also, to upload images it is kinda complicated here on Wikipedia. First of all is it a picture you took?TrUCo9311 23:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Ok, your guestbook will be found at User:Steelerfan-94/Guestbook. Uploading images from google will probably be deleted because they need to meet Wikipedia's guidelines for images. Read WP:UPIMAGE for more info on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truco9311 (talk • contribs) 23:20, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Alright Y Done. TrUCo9311 00:19, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Here is your signature. iMatthew 2008 01:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC) Steelerfan-94

I'm glad you like it, and yes Matt is my name. iMatthew 2008 21:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, lets see if you did it correctly.

1)Go to "My preferences" at the top of the page. 2)Go to where it says Raw signature (with the blank space) 3)Type (copy) this into it {{SUBST:User:Steelerfan-94/Signature}} 4)Save it. 5)Then it should work. TrUCo9311 21:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Userboxes

Sure thing. It's really quite easy. Add {{boxtop}}, then all your userboxes and then add {{boxbottom}} at the bottom of your userboxes. It'll come out in one long column down the side of the page. Hope this helps! ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 23:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

No worries. It looks good! ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 16:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Sure thing. I'll create a list of wikifriends too. Congratulations! You're my first and only cofirmed wikifriend! *applause* ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 17:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Y Done ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 17:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Wiki friends

Yeah,sure I guess.It's always fun to get a new friend.--WillC (talk) 03:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Where am I at on your page?--WillC (talk) 01:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
No problem,I was just wondering.What were your exact thoughts on my Youtube page?--WillC (talk) 01:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
It might look like I do but I don't.I usually just watch Wrestling vids and talk to friends when their on.--WillC (talk) 04:11, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

RE:Be WARE of

Well I would list them, but if I listed them then I would just start conflict and be blamed for attacks on other users, so asking this kind of question is not to good.--TrUCo9311 19:14, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Just go around Wikipedia and get to know more users and then add them to that list.--TrUCo9311 19:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

RE: Wikifriends

I don't really like them all that much, I just like their abreviation, LAX. --LAX 19:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it is. I live in Hyattsville, Maryland.--TrUCo9311 23:45, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Yeah that would be good because it is your own work. The licensing is your own work, so just search 4 one where you are the creator and are releasing it to the public domain.--TrUCo9311 21:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Well, discussion pages are not meant to discuss thing outside of editing articles, but if you want to know you should go to [1]. Sorry...more info read WP:TALK and WP:FORUM.--TrUCo9311 17:58, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Well just make sure not to write week by week results, mayby just sourcing his info will help.--TrUCo9311 16:16, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Its easy, lets say you want to source this.."John Cena lost the Championship to Edge"<ref name="WWE">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com|accessdate=2008-02-16|last=Zimmerman|first=Robin|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment|date=2008-02-16}}</ref>
1)URL is well the url of where your information is at.
2)Accessdate is the date that you retrieved your information. Notice: That we use a different date :format, i.e. 2008-02-16, it will not look like that in your references, it will spell the date out, :but that is just for the code.
3)Last is the last name of the writer of the article. Now not all the times will the writers name :be available, so you may have to leave that blank.
4)First, same goes for first, which is the writers first name.
5)publisher is the publisher of the work, so basically its the websites name. Since you found that :reference at WWE.com, you put next to publisher, World Wrestling Entertainment.
6)date is the date the article was written on.
7) If you notice, if you want to use the same source/reference twice, you use a <ref :name=> template. Then you just put a simple short name for that reference and when you :want to use it again, you simply put <ref name=/>
8)Is the title of the article, you cannot make up one, you have to use the one the article uses. In :cases where there is no title, use a general one.

With all that, it will generate this..

"John Cena lost the Championship to Edge"[1]

Now lets say you want to use it again..

"Edge later won the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble"<ref name="WWE"/>

Notice you have to use the exact ref name you placed before including the quotation marks.

Which will generate this..


"Edge later won the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble"[1]

So you wont get mixed up with above

Do you see on your browser up top something like this http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php

You copy that and add it to the URL part of the cite web template. If you still need help read this and this.--TrUCo9311 16:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I have never heard of it, and I found not that many google hits on google. Not worthy of an article. No we are expanding them. --TrUCo9311 20:15, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: RKO, King, WOOOO!!

You serious? Man, that is awesome!!! What are they like? Is King as funny is real life? ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 20:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

You're so lucky, I live in Ireland, so there is no way I'd get to do that. Gotta say, I am a Randy fan, and not a fan of Cena, so it's nice to know he's a nice guy. I'd be annoyed if he was as much of an asshole as he seems on tv. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 20:25, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
No, there on at the same time as the states (which means around 1/2 in the morning). Unforunately, they're on channels I don't have, so I have to rely on people uploading them to Youtube to watch. ;( sucks really... but that's life! No, I've never been to the states, I'd love to though. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ —Preceding comment was added at 01:36, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Arkansas, yea - I think that's a state right? Dude, we're not mutants, we eat the same food as you would in America!! No, nobody says "top of the morning", unless we're impersonating a leprechaun or just messing around. That's just one of those old myths. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 01:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
About 10 to 2 in the morning. I'll be going to bed soon. Only reason I'm still up is 'cause I'm on holidays. And it's the week-end of course! ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 01:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Yep, How about you - what time is it in Arkansas? ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 17:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Only a six hour time difference then, LOL. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 17:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

RE: Likes and Dislikes

I don't see why not. It be best if you would copy the code from my userpage and ask LAX if he can fix for you. Currently, I am looking for a new design for my userpage, but I can probably help you with some of the formatting, if that's what your asking. Zenlax T C S 14:50, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I was just to reply, when I saw Zenlax already did! ;) I'm fairly bad at formatting, so i am definetly the wrong person to ask about this, so, if I were you, I'd take Zenlax up on his offer! ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 21:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

RE: Good Wikipedian?

You're still new here, you're doing fine for the amount of time you have been here. Just try to avoid getting into edit wars, and avoid breaking the 3RR rule and Try not to add unsourced information. But good job so far..--TrUCo9311 00:10, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

That's correct. You can not revert edits on the same page more than 3 times in 24 hours.--TrUCo9311 01:38, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Just create him a new one and then you log out and then make him log in, and no your info and his wont be shared.TrUCo9311 22:33, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, I don't know, your a Steeler's fan and I'm a Patriots fan. Just kidding. Sure, I don't mind. I'll add you to my page. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:02, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Also Steeler, in discussions you need to indent. You do this by placing a colon ":" Each time you put a colon in it is one indention if you place it three times it is three indentions. Do you understand? =)TrUCo9311 01:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Do you see how my comment begins with an indention? When typing your comment, you put a colon to indent to respond to someone else's comment. Sure (what honor) where will you be sitting?--TrUCo9311 20:50, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Not to put you down Truco, put it would be super cool if you help up a sign saying "Hey Truco and Matthew." lol. Sexy iMatthew 2008 00:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Cool! What color will the sign be? (It will be easier if I'm looking for a certain color) lol. iMatthew 2008 21:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
That's awesome. what color will the sign be?--TrUCo9311 22:15, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
No its just a nickname, Kevin is ok. Nope never, I would like to go someday.--TrUCo9311 20:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
No, I haven't been either, but like Truco, I would like to some day. I might go to The Great American Bash this year though. Ok, so I'll look for a green sign that says "Hey Matt and Kevin". Cool! iMatthew 2008 21:54, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
So did you go to WalMart yesterday? iMatthew 2008 14:18, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Holy Shit dude! Your so lucky! Have a great time! I'm so jealous of you right now. lol. Can you take pictures, especially of superstars, during the event. If they turn out good enough, they might be able to go into some articles! But thats really cool. So the sign will be green? Like a light or dark green? iMatthew 2008 14:29, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Ok, and yeah that was me. I like the Hardyboyz a lot, but my favorites have to be Hornswoggle and Finlay. I met Horny as an autograph section. It was so much fun. I also like Mr. Kennedy, MVP, Shannon Moore, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels. iMatthew 2008 14:43, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
