[edit] prods

Glad you';re helping us check articles; a good way to start is by reading WP: Deletion policy. We do not put prod tags on articles to get people to improve them, only when we think they ought to be deleted. , and we do not delete even very short articles as long as they indicate what the subject is,and appear to be about notable subjects. the other tags you put on it were fine.

[edit] adminship

the first step is to become an active contributor to articles, as you have started doing ; the second is to join in discussion on article talk pages to lean how we talk about things here, and then to engage in some of the WP:MAINT activities; After that you should start learning policy and discussing at WP:AFD and policy talk pages. Avoid trouble, and don't do anything peculiar. Then ask me in three or four months to take a look at how you've been doing. DGG (talk) 19:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

meanwhile, you can withdraw the present request by asking at [1] or on the page you started. DGG (talk) 19:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxdesigns 'R' Us

There's a couple of ways: {{Userbox |border-c=blue |id-c=red |id-s=8 |id-fc=red |info-c=white |info-s=8 |info-fc=blue |id=insert [[image:image]] here |info=Insert text here. }}

{{userbox|white|yellow|insert [[image:image]] here]]|Insert text here.}}

{{userbox2|white|yellow|insert [[image:image]] here]]|Insert text here.}}

The third is much the same as the second, but double images. Just to demo:

This user would loose Zeus and Apollo on people who think Higgins was Robin Masters.

You'll need to play with the px sizes to get images to fit how you want the box to look, & the colors & font sizes to get the effect you want. You can try using "FFFF"-type color codes, if you can find them, & figure out how they work (I never could...); I find "sepia" & "grey" for "info-c" give the BG page color, as if there's no "pasteover" of the box.
