Hi. You seem to know a lot about Wikipedia already! I use a custom template here: User:Hdt83/Welcome. You can use it if you want. Happy editing! -- Hdt83 Chat 01:18, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
No problem, glad to help. Let me know if you ever have any other problems. :-) Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 02:36, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
As I mentioned in the help desk, using the <big> tag in your signature is not nice. See Wikipedia:Signatures, which states "Markup such as <big> tags (which produce big text), or line breaks (<br /> tags) are to be avoided, since they disrupt the way that surrounding text displays. The limited use of non-breaking spaces to ensure that the signature displays on one line is allowed." -- Kainaw (what?) 13:17, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. We could use your input on a problem we're having with an editor, who's constantly inserting an item into the lead when we've all decided by consensus that it doesn't belong. Please see the Reagan talk page for my suggestion, and please comment appropriately. Thanks. Info999 01:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
I've come to the conclusion that he's not going to give up, the admins aren't going to block him, and I have to say he makes a good point when he says being against communism was only half of it. So, we've compromised. Check out the talk page now, and if you hate it please say so, but I don't think we're going to get any better. Happyme22 03:09, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
I appreciate how rational you're being. I want you to know that it makes a difference to me. I. Pankonin ( t/ c) 05:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Iraq War, and indicate whether you agree or disagree to mediation. If you are unfamiliar with mediation on Wikipedia, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. Please note there is a seven-day time limit on all parties responding to the request with their agreement or disagreement to mediation. Thanks, Daniel 10:47, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
I think that for now I will go with the two spokespeople; however, that does not prevent you from participating in the discussion. The idea behind having spokespeople is simply to keep the page from being cluttered by lots of people editing it, but if you have separate ideas, feel free to participate in your own right. The spokespeople idea is not intended to prevent people who aren't spokespeople from participating, it's really only to channel all of the ideas through a few people. Essentially, what I'm trying to say in my long and slightly incoherent rambling is that you may participate in the discussion on Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/Iraq War. -- דניאל - Danth eman531 02:39, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the links, now I have to figure out how to use that stuff. I expected the responses I have gotten in my request to becoming an admin. I figured I would give it a try though. michfan2123 01:07, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
I am trying to use twinkle, not quite getting it. michfan2123 01:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
I now understand twinkle but I am having difficulty launching WP:MWT. michfan2123 01:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Tried that, it opens for a second, I am trying to read what it says, I think it says that I am not on the log in list or something. michfan2123 01:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
It is weird, thanks for your efforts. michfan2123 02:03, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
It looks like I will need to try again some other time, is there anyway to shut it down right now? No point of letting it go on, I have gotten enough feedback to see what I have to do. michfan2123 02:16, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for all the help. michfan2123 03:07, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Unfortunately, that's not how I see it. Happy editing! -- Agüeybaná 11:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
You've accused me of vanadlism, but I haven't done anything wrong. I haven't even visited the article on "Ronald Reagan" lately, much less vandalized it, and while I DID go to the page on "Piracy," I didn't vandalize that either. The only edits I've made have been constructive ones fixing poor grammar, spelling, and obvious POV problems on articles I've visited. I don't know what you're talking about and I don't appreciate being falsely accused. 216.153.43.38 03:41, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I just checked the history on those articles and while that IS my IP address next to some of those edits that are clearly vandalism, ("Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum"...how juvenile), I swear I didn't do them. No one else has been on my computer so I don't know how that's possible. The only thing I can think of is that someone is hacking into my wireless network, which is hard to understand since I've got a password on it. At any rate, it's not me. Please don't block me or anything.-- 216.153.43.38 03:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, unfortunately that article gets way too much vandalism, and I was just trying to hold it off for a short while (plus, someone requested it at WP:RPP). Either way, I changed it back down to [edit=autoconfirmed: move=sysop]. jj137 ♠ 00:50, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
At least let me leave my picture there for now. This all started because of an english project at Purdue University. When I have more time I'll work on a better addition for the U.S. Soldiers (without them sites like this probably wouldn't exist). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmouser ( talk • contribs) 02:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if you are interested, but I could use any of your comments here. Thanks, Happyme22 ( talk) 20:18, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Rise, I'm sorry to bug you if you are still on vacation, but as a fellow dedicated editor I am asking you to watchlist and help me out with some of the discussions going on at Talk:Ronald Reagan. There's an issue of Reagan's nicknames - "The Great Communicator" and "the teflon president" - being mentioned but more specifically the style/tone/prose. That one was over, but has since been re-ignited because there was a blog source and what I feel is some POV writing "in disguise". You can see it in the second paragraph at Ronald Reagan#Popularity. Then there's the Cold War issue, which has gotten pretty rough. Any help is apprecited. Thanks, Happyme22 ( talk) 05:58, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Ron Paul has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured quality. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. -- Andrew Kelly ( talk) 05:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
