User talk:Tado

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For most of them, I've used Templates. Just go here and copy the templates you wish to use. There are, of course others, but it may take some time to find them. I usually guess when I want to add something new, and most of the time, it's already created (I.e. {{user Firefox}} obviously has something to do with Firefox). If not, you can create them, but you might want to look at the specific template coding (I.e. [[Template:user TEMPLATE NAME]] and see the source).—G.He 02:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, this is a really good place to find templates.—G.He 02:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:USER BOX!!!

Oh, well, aren't you mister fancy pants! :) Check out Wikipedia:Userboxes. They are small templates that you place on your user page. If you put {{user wikipedia}} on your user page, it will produce the box to the right.

wiki This user is a member of Wikipedia.

To find userboxes to use, check out #2 in the table of contents of the first link. To answer, "How do I do that?", check out #5. As always, feel free to ask me any questions you have about Wikipedia. One last thing, please remember to put ~~~~ at the end of all of your comments. That way other users will know who left them without having to look in the history. —WAvegetarian•CONTRIBUTIONSTALK• EMAIL• 02:56, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Band?

Im wondering if this band i know of would qualify for an article.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tado (talk • contribs) .

Which band? If the band is quite well-known, then it would probably be considered for article creation. However, if the band is very small or not well-known to the general public, then it may not be such a good idea to have an article about it beacuse it would not concern many people/audience in general.—G.He 23:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
they only have two songs Tado 23:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, in that case, I'm not really sure if that would be a great idea... Articles that are really insignificant tend to get deleted from what I've encountered in the past because they aren't really helpful to the general audience... But the final decision is up to you—if you think it deserves to be mentioned and that the article can be made a decent length, go ahead. But if you think it's too specific and would become a stub, it would be better to leave it alone for now...—G.He 23:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Can stubs but requested for deletion? And can they become articles with more information? Tado 00:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Stubs are basically short articles. Like all articles, they can be deleted. As stubs gain more information, the stub tag can be removed, and the "stub" will no longer be a "stub", but rather a normal-lengthed/info-filled article.—G.He 00:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Administrator

how do you go about becoming an administrator? - Tado 00:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I have been using wikipedia for almost a year but only been a member since February or March. How do you become one though? - Tado 01:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Sorry... Become an administrator? - Tado 01:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
You can request for adminship. First, you either must self-nominate or get nominated by someone else. Afterwards, a voting takes place. If consensus is reached, you become admin. If not, you don't, but you can request again later.—G.He 01:11, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you! - Tado 01:13, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signatures

How do you personolize signatures?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tado (talk • contribs) .

You can use Wikipedia Markup Language or HTML in Preferences under nickname. Be sure to check the raw signature box.—G.He 01:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
It is better to not include images in signatures.—G.He 01:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Band Qualification

See the comments made by other users on your talk page in the sub-section Band?. In the meantime, I have noticed that no one has given you a formal welcome to Wikipedia, so here it is:


Welcome!

[edit] Administrators

Hi there. The bar for administrators is relatively high but the intention is to give the extra powers that administrators have to editors who have the trust of the Wikipedia community. Editors are judged on their track record and would usually expect to have been editing actively for many months and have accumulated many good quality edits across Wikipedia (not just in article space, but on talk pages and in Wikipedia project space). I see you've only been editing since March - your best route if you'd like to be an administrator in future is to work positively on the encyclopedia for several more months, ensuring that your behaviour demonstrates that you are trustworthy. This means being civil to other editors at all times, and assuming good faith. You should also familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's policies (such as NPOV, verifiability, notability) and guidelines (e.g., the Manual of Style).

More information on the specific process for admin approval is at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. Cheers, and happy editing. —Whouk (talk) 07:49, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smile :)

—G.He has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk pages. Happy editing!
