Do I have too much AGF? :D Maser (Talk!) 08:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC) AGF is a very good thing :) No worries! Ariel♥Gold 20:39, 9 December 2007 (UTC) Pictures! I took some pictures of the winter wonderland we have going right now. It's about 10 degrees outside, and it's that winter scene where thought it may be near 3am, I could easily read a book outside as the ambient light from all the snow is washing the town in a cold light! I'll upload them when I find my cord... :) Jmlk17 09:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC) Woo hoo pictures! /me can't wait! I have some good pictures I took during a big snowstorm there in the early 90s, I should upload those sometime... lol. Ariel♥Gold 21:18, 9 December 2007 (UTC) Landry List of questions Hey, it's me again. I'm back with landry list of questions. 1) How do you add an 5-character indent to a paragraph without it putting a wierd dotted box around the text and puts all of the paragraph on one line? (note this is just for my userpage, as I figure that indents are not used in normal articles) I was trying to indent the first line in both of the paragraphs on my main userpage. Use five colons (:) in front of what you wish to say. This sentence is indented five times. Ariel♥Gold (Rocketmaniac says DUH to himself) Yea I knew that from replies to your talk page. Just didn't think to try it on my userpage. Rocketmaniac (talk) 00:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC) 2) How do you put a border around certain cells of a table? I studied your main userpage and copied how you had done it around each of your sections. But on your page, it is a solid line. On my page (see the "Next Space Shuttle Mission" on my main page) there are spaces between some of the cells. Yeah, you've got a lot of wonky (no offense) formatting on your userpage, I've looked at it before, and at first glance, didn't really figure out what you've done, lol. I can take a look, but I recall when I checked the code a few weeks ago, I figured you would need an entirely new design to fix the errors, I'm not sure what is causing them. Ariel♥Gold LOL, wonky? That messed up? What should I do to fix it? I might try removing that section from the table, or creating a second table for that section. Rocketmaniac (talk) 00:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC) I think a completely different layout would be best, to try to work with the code you have going on might be difficult. One of the issues is you have the images in their own boxes, and that causes some issues with the text on the left, but yeah the other issue is the box with the broken border, not sure what's up with that. I'd re-do your page to make it more like the main page layout, and place each element in its own section, (or something similar to that) to make it easier, if it were me. If you want me to work something up for you I can. Ariel♥Gold 00:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Well, I put each of the items towards the bottom in their own table. And it still looks dumb. Your page doesn't have sections, or at least the kind where you put the code ==example== in it, so how do you make it look so classie? I don't neccessary want you make me a userpage, I just want ideas or examples. Table(s) don't seem to be the answer. (I've learned all of HTML skills and now wikipedia skills by copying and changing other peoples codes) I'm graphically "challenged". (LOL, Please help me out before someone flags my userpage for deletion because it violates some appearance law) Rocketmaniac (talk) 02:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Yeah I purposely don't have edit sections. And, HTML doesn't really work the same here all the time, you'll have to code the page in .css for it to really look right, from what I've seen. While some HTML works, it does have some issues. Your table code for next shuttle mission, and for the ISS stats is off, and I'd have to re-do it the way I know how, to fix it, cause I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with yours, lol. I wouldn't mind, if you wanted me to, otherwise I guess you'll just have to play around with it, but as for "fixing it" I'm not sure I can, without re-doing the table completely, lol. (I know, I know, "then what good am I?" lol) Ariel♥Gold 02:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Time permitting, do whatever you can/want to my userpage. (LOL, just please don't make it too girly) Rocketmaniac (talk) 02:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC) ~*Ariel rushes over to Rocket's page and plasters it with pink flowers and hearts*~ Muwahahaha Ariel♥Gold 02:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC) 3) The South Carolina article has an external link to a very biased website. http://www.freescrepublic.com/ I have made the comment on the TALK page that this is not an appropriate link. I want to remove it, but somehow I feel I am going to start a "revert" war. Is there an "oversight" committee or something that will back me up if I delete it and a war starts? I removed the link and posted on the article's talk page. That site was inappropriate, giving blatantly false information to readers unfamiliar with the U.S. ("South Carolina is an occupied country"), what rubbish. Also, it returns .dll fatal errors in both IE and Firefox for me, which is suspicious. Removed per WP:EL. Much better response than I would have done, thanks. Rocketmaniac (talk) 00:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC) 4) Last item isn't really a question. Remember a few weeks ago with I called you a Big-time admin? And you told me you were only an editor like myself? Well, I think I have solved this problem. Since you are not (at least at this time) an admin person, but since is it very easy to see that you are much more that a normal editor, I have created a userbox for you. Enjoy. Rocketmaniac (talk) 17:42, 9 December 2007 (UTC) LOL! Thank you dear. I love it! I still would say I'm not a "big time" anything, I'm just like you or anyone else, it is just that I've been here for over two years, that's all, hee hee. But thank you! That is wonderful, and I will find a place to put it. Ariel♥Gold This user is a Big Time Editor. Thank you Rocket :) Ariel♥Gold 21:35, 9 December 2007 (UTC) Just trying to put a smile on your face. Rocketmaniac (talk) 00:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC) That you did, yes :) Thank you again! Ariel♥Gold 00:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Help with Template:South Carolina I added another area/section the the Template:South Carolina. The area/section is Unincorporated areas. I edited the template and used the other sections as an example. But now, the last section Topics is not showing up. The code is still there, it's just not visable. I know I am going to owe you a bunch. I'm going to bed before I $^^%$$$&&&^^% more stuff up. (If you can't get to it, or can fix it, I'll revert it myself in the morning) Rocketmaniac (talk) 03:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC) It has been fixed. I posted the question on the Help Desk and found out the it had to do with a limit set by the US State template. User:Patrick helped me out and edited the template and everything is a-o-k. (And while I was waiting for an answer on the help desk, I saw another question that I actually knew the answer and "I" answered it. My head is pretty big right now, need to fix a pin to get it back to normal size) Rocketmaniac (talk) 16:46, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Doh! Sorry I completely forgot to take a look at this! I'm glad it was taken care of, and congratulations for helping at Help Desk! I'm a regular helper there as well, and it is nice when you can help others, so it is okay to feel good about it Ariel♥Gold 22:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Smile Ryan Postlethwaite has smiled at you!

Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message. And on a different matter, are you upset about the shuttle launch?? Ryan Postlethwaite 03:27, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Upset? Nah, I think that caution is a good thing, but disappointed, definitely. lol. And thank you dear, for the smile! ~*Hugs*~ Ariel♥Gold 03:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC) My, my I simply can't vandalize your page. You seem far too decent a human being. So be it. 75.100.88.57 (talk) 04:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Thank you very much for that. I do hope that you will realize what a great project this is, and that you'll help it grow, as we do always need more excellent editors! Ariel♥Gold 04:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Even would-be vandals follow WP:CIVIL with you. I'm amazed! --NeilN talk ♦ contribs 04:42, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Thank you Thank you for reverting vandalism on my talk page. It is appreciated! Printer222 (talk) has smiled at you!

Ariel♥Gold 12:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC) Fishsticks... That last edit was reverting vandalism... why did you mark me as vandalising? 124.197.15.124 (talk) 06:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC) I'm sorry, you reverted an edit that accidentally re-instated previous vandalism, as seen in the difference between your edit. I did actually go through the history, and it seemed there were multiple unhelpful edits, so I reverted to an earlier version to remove them all. I'm sorry if you got caught in the middle of that. I'll remove the note I left on your talk page, and put this note there. Cheers! Ariel♥Gold 06:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Wow! Featured Article! Ariel, the article you helped me significantly with: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami is now a Featured Article! I thought you should know. I don't know why it still does not have a brown star in the corner. Maybe a bot comes along and adds that little detail. CHEERS! NancyHeise (talk) 12:44, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Wow, oh my gosh, congratulations Nancy!!!! I'm so happy to hear that! That's the first article I've helped worked on significantly that has gotten to FA status! I see the icon in the corner! How awesome! Ariel♥Gold 22:15, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Hug Just a quick little Wikihug to say hello to my friend! Thank you for the lovely email, and I hope to be back soon! Until then, ttyl! :) Jmlk17 00:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC) Wikihug from me too. Dreadstar † 00:58, 11 December 2007 (UTC) My Lord Dreadstar!!! Ahhh, mine soul rejoiceth, as I have been bereft without your companionship! May you stay safe in your travels, and return home safely, My dear Lord. ~*Hugs*~ Ariel♥Gold 01:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC) Thine lovely words doth touch mine heart to the core, oh divine lady! Life's challenges doth keepeth me from mine duties, but I shall return 'ere long upon my mighty steed, with mine sword of justice ready, and mine ascot flowing in the wind. Dreadstar † 08:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC) Help? urgh If you can. :) I'm trying to get this IRC stuff all straightened out. I've downloaded Chatzilla for use with my beloved Firefox, and I need to set up an IRC nickname so that I can request a hostname cloak. The problem is that I can't make sense of any of this. Of course, once I master that, I have to figure out how to actually USE the thing. :P Do you have any tips? Suggestions? Would you like to point at me and laugh? Any of that would be welcome, even the pointing and laughing. I could use some humor. :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:13, 11 December 2007 (UTC) Equine Thank you for the complermaint!--4444hhhh (talk) 21:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)4444hhhh reply I replied to your helpful comments on my page because I'm not sure where the best place to respond is. :) Enigmaman (talk) 05:50, 12 December 2007 (UTC) Gary Webster DOES Have a Penis Look at the article Penis, and it says that every male has a penis. This information is highly sources. Now Gary Webster is a male, so that must mean he has a penis too. I'm a male too, and I have a penis too. You are a female, so that means you have a vagina, since every female has a vagina. That information is highly sourced too. Largesign (talk) 10:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC) Obviously, but adding such an obvious fact to an article is inappropriate. Ariel♥Gold 10:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC) It shouldn't matter. Wikipedia is not censored. [1] Largesign (talk) 10:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC) I'm well aware of that, thank you. However, we do not add every single anatomical part to every single biography, now, do we? Is it appropriate to add "He has two legs, two arms, two eyes, a mouth, a nose, ten fingers, ten toes, two knees, etc., etc., etc., " to all biographies? Of course it is not appropriate. I have no doubt that you realize the inappropriateness of your edits, and will yet again, ask you to stop. (And lol Alison) Ariel♥Gold 10:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC) How do you know he has? Have you a reliable source for that? Taken a look in his pants??? - Alison ❤ 10:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC) Nah, can't do that - it would be WP:OR :) Pedro :  Chat  10:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
