[edit] UBX template

That's a nice idea, I just moved so many of them. :| There are bots that change the templates, but I have no idea when they will be running. I may have to do that to get all the complaints (just look at my talk page) off my chest. Scepia 02:34, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Gorean "Dina" abstract flower symbol

I don't really care all that much what is done with Image:Dina-gor.svg, and its being licensed as GFDL means that you don't have to ask my permission anyway (as long as the GFDL license terms are complied with, which is pretty much automatic within the aegis of Wikipedia). However, you should be aware that this symbol actually has a highly-specific meaning within certain circles... AnonMoos 04:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

P.S. If you want an abstract flower symbol which doesn't have a highly-specific symbolic meaning, then you might try Image:Fiore_01.svg (though that may have been somewhat patterned after an old version of the ICQ status icon...). AnonMoos 05:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mandolarian

Shouldn't it be "Mandalorian"? AnonMoos 17:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your reversion on WP:RD/H

I just want you to note what you did with your recent reversion. You removed two substantive comments by me in order to replace a bogus template and a question about said bogus template which were purposely removed as being poor form and unnecessary. It is common practice on the reference desk to re-format other people's posts as one goes along and to remove posts which lose their meaning in the process in order to keep such posts from de-railing the greater purpose of the reference desk, which is to answer questions. I am sure you meant well but I want you to realize that in the end you restored something worthless at the expense of something substantive. --24.147.86.187 02:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the user boxes

Thank you so much for making the user boxes for me!! One minor thing though, could you possibly add a period at the end of this user likes kiwis? Teak the Kiwi 03:17, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind about the period, maybe I didn't see it, or else someone fixed it. Teak the Kiwi 16:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the nice Vatican City State userboxes. They look pretty darn good, and you did it really quickly. poopsix 08:48, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comics

If I were you, I would just use a "steriotypical" symbol of the character, i. e. a hammer for Thor, X for X-Men, USA flag for Cap, maybe lll for wolvy.- Merlin

[edit] falungong out side china

i certainly balance that article, there rejection case outside china there rejection what ever it involved china party or by glodok comunity there rejection about falungong activity in glodok comunity and true are there area not china part, we reject them but cause they stuborn activity to make our comunity to kick them from glodok. and i certainly put netral oponion with the ref adrres about the incident(news)^[1]. so well both side argument have balance oponnion as you see. Before this ancident falun gong are ussualy have painting exhibit in glodok area such chandra building and they are not rejected(in the past they have several painting exhibit in glodok area and they are not rejected, but the last time they push the limit and rejected by glodok people) but this ancident prove how the falung gong did legaly dirty way to push the limit.Daimond 06:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

if they angry and push this ref adress ^[2]as source i said the adress only cover by falungong side as did epoch time did as they prespectif to told there nothing wrong with they way, this was they told but truth are diffrent than that as you see, how they terorizing and distrub our comunity in many month?? certainly they activity are not month in our place there few year activity in our comunity before that and now they push the limit and distrub. i think i am right to cover both argument(in indonesia matter) not one side story like epoch time or clear harmony way isn't it for balance the articel. if they anger with both argument you could imagene how angry i am read this ancident story by epoch time who only give one side storyDaimond 07:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC) and the foto taken in desember as you see the date of the foto taken.

[edit] Re: List of character classes

I figured it was either a momentary lapse of reason from an experienced user or something else reasonable. Most of the copyvios picked up by wherebot have no other contribs. I'll see about the larger article. Thanks! -- Butseriouslyfolks 03:31, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

On second thought, the article you moved it from had quite a history. When I was looking at Character classes from the Dragon Quest series on its own as a new article, I assumed it was copied from the external website. Considering the fact that it was part of an article going back several months, and it wasn't picked up as a copyvio previously, I'm now thinking the external site copied from WP. It's already been deleted, but I'm going to do my best to restore your work and make a note on the talk page. -- Butseriouslyfolks 03:37, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh man, I missed the fine print at the very bottom of http://en.allexperts.com/e/l/li/list_of_character_classes.htm. "This is the "GNU Free Documentation License" reference article from the English Wikipedia." D'oh! Do me a favor and see if I missed anything re-creating the page. Sorry!!!!! -- Butseriouslyfolks 03:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

It would have served you right if I had changed Character classes from the Dragon Quest series to a deleted, protected page: use edit summaries to explain what you are doing. -- RHaworth 13:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Right. --The Dark Side 21:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Simpsons WikiProject

Hi, there has recently been some contention over the isse of whether Simpsons character pages need "episodes featuring" lists and it's been decided that the issue will be put to a vote. As a member of the WikiProject, your opinion on the matter would be appreciated. Join the discussion here. Thanks, Scorpion 05:03, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 007 userbox

Hello TDS,

I took the liberty of updating the sourced P99 JPG image in your custom userbox to a PNG with a transparent background. Now you should be able to make whatever color is behind show through. Hopefully it adds to the effect. Cheers --Sirimiri 01:37, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UCFD

I have nominated a category you created, Category:TDS Original userbox, for deletion. You can contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia:User categories for discussion. Thanks, VegaDark 01:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

As for Category:Wikipedians who need to update their userboxes, that actually looks as if it may be helpful...why do you want it deleted? As you are the creator of the category you can tag it as {{db-self}} if you want it to be deleted. VegaDark 03:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Simpsons WikiProject

Hello, The Simpsons WikiProect is currently trying to decide on five episode articles to classify as being high importance and as a member of the WikiProject, your input would be appreciated. You can vote here. Thanks for the time, Scorpion 07:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox

Thanks for the heads-up DarkSide. Not checking the usage policy on the picture was a pretty foolish oversight on my part. I'm getting the userbox removed until I can find something more suitable and I'll certainly be more sensible in my experiments in the future. Suriel1981 07:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: User:Averross/Penny Arcade

Well, I didn't think it would be a big deal since the picture was on this site and could be used in userboxes and such. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Averross (talk • contribs) 13:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the fix. So was the problem largely just the fact that i was trying to make more than three boxes, or that they were layed out incorrectly or what? WookMuff 01:48, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

The problem wasn't with the number, I think it was because it was very hard to read the markup so you might have missed a bracket or two. Either that or it was those positioning commands you left (left, centre, right).

Cool, thanks :) WookMuff 02:02, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright

I've got a copyright item on my talk page from you. Just checking, but has anything actually changed on the template? If you have the time, please respond, if not, don't bother. May teh force be wiv ya TDN 23:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I took out Image:Merchts.gif from the right side. --The Dark Side 23:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox

Thanks for making the Userbox! It looks really good!

Thanks again,

Skunkmaster 01:31, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I just noticed something about the userbox. Could you add "task force" to the end of it? And I noticed that the category link at the bottom of the page is broken. How do you fix that?

Thanks,

Skunkmaster 01:42, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! And with the category link, were talking about moving the list of participants to that page?

Skunkmaster 01:51, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. Thank you!

Skunkmaster 01:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to bug you but I was looking at their talk page and they had chosen a picture for their icon, so could you change the userbox image? Here is the link to the image.

[edit] How do you put a pic on a userbox?

When making a userbox, how do you place an image in it? The picture I want is already on Wikipedia, which makes it legal to use, right?

Please reply on my talk page.

Thanks,

Skunkmaster 19:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect of Simpson family vacations

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Simpson family vacations, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Simpson family vacations is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Simpson family vacations, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Permission to copy one of your Userboxes

It has recently come to my attention that I should ask permission before copying a Userbox from a Userpage to use on my own Userpage. In checking my Userboxes, I found one that I must have copied from you at some time called User:The Dark Side/Original userboxes/Big. I apologize, but may I continue to use it? Thanks.
