Hello! I have already read the Talk pages guidelines/information, but I am still unsure as to how to you post a comment in the talk pages (I do not see any "post comment" button on the page). I would greatly appreciate any help you could provide, I am a (very) new member to wikipedia, and I lack much knowledge about how to utilise it! Thank you in advance!

Hello! Reguarding your question, to comment on talk pages, click on the plus mark next to the words "Edit this page" on the top of the screen. When loaded, you will be shown a text box. On the top text box, you can add your subject. When you want to add a line like this:

LINE EXAMPLE

you type ==LINE EXAMPLE==. When you are finished, leave your signature by signing with the 4 tilde keys (ex ~~~~ for me comes out as L337p4wn 06:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)). Then press the "Save Page" button on the bottom of the larger text box. That's it! Glad I could help! L337p4wn 06:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

P.S., If you need any other text help, editing commands, etc. go to the Cheat Sheet page. :) L337p4wn 06:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Help

Well, (if I'm getting you question right) just go to "edit this page", find the section where the person left the comment, type your comment under theirs, sig. it, and save page. Forgive me If I'm wrong, but it's 1:37 A.M in U.S. Central Time Zone. xD

L337p4wn 06:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I'm sorry to bother you, but if someone could assist me in editing a userspace (how to format it, where to place userboxes, etc.), would they kindly give me some much needed info? I'm at such a loss for knowledge about codes to create boxes, where to paste userboxes, and such!!! Thanks!

Also, I was recently trying out new skins under "preferences," and I didn't really like the skin I chose (the one I'm using now), but when I attempted to click on "skin" under preferences, it acts as if there's no link, and it won't let me click it to change my skin! I've tried everything to make the link work, from refreshing the page, to restarting my computer, but no matter what, I can't change the skin. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Hello Mizu onna sango15! There is actually a whole area for userpage design! You can find it at The Transhumanist's tutorial page. As for your skins issue, are you saying that you're unable to change tabs in "my preferences"? You should be able to switch between all tabs, test that and let me know if you are able to switch to other tabs, but just not skins, or if none of the tabs work. Just reply here (no need to add the {{helpme}} tag, I'll see it) and let me know if that worked. Ariel♥Gold 21:52, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, so much ArielGold! I'll check out the tutorial page soon.

About the skins, do you know how when you try to click on something that isn't a link, it'll just click, it won't open? That's what's going on with the "Skin" link. Nothing happens. Also, when you hover over a link, a hand icon will usually appear, whereas now it just shows the usual arrow icon. A few of the other links aren't opening either, such as the "Math" tab and some others.

So you're saying that you're unable to click those tabs, nothing at all happens? It sounds like something with your browser. The preferences screen works via script I believe, (I could be wrong though) so be sure your security settings in your browser are allowing it to run scripts. If you keep having trouble with this, please head over to the Village Pump Technical page to speak with someone there. I'm not that familiar with the intricacies of scripting to know what could be the problem, but I'd be willing to bet that someone over there can help you. Just drop a note there and someone will probably answer within a few minutes, that's one of the busier help pages. Ariel♥Gold 14:58, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Ariel! I greatly appreciate it.

{{helpme}} I was recently reading WP:RS, and it was very helpful, but I still don't know which websites are considered reliable, and which aren't. What I mean is, one can properly cite the source of information in an article, yes, but how can one really be sure the information in the souce cited (the content in the website) is reliable?

Answer: It's difficult, but generally common sense prevails. A good technique is using Google to see if your source is linked from many pages, which establishes popularity. If you're having serious doubts about the source you want to use, chances are it isn't appropriate. A good way to learn is by example, so if you're having further problems, let me know the exact circumstances on my talk page and we could evaluate it together. Cheers, --Pumpmeup 05:56, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Mizu onna sango15 06:07, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey!

What's up? To answer your first question, I truthfully have no idea how to do the boxes thing...(I copied the text from Jimmy Whale's page and edited it a little!) And for the second question, to add a photo find the photo's name.

For instance, I'll use the photo "Example.png". When I want to make a box for it, I'll copy the name, (Example.png), then type [[Image:Example.png]] This creates .

Glad I could help!, L337p4wn

Thanks so much! Mizu onna sango15 02:51, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Chat

Hi Mizu:

"I am of English, Irish, Puerto rican and African-American decent."

And speak Japanese, and a Buddhist and from Alaska.

And with a ton of user boxes.

---

I'm very impressed.

By the way, I wandered over here because of a weird edit you put on Spontaneous Human Combustion. When clicked, it goes to Spontaneous Human Combustion. I'm wondering if this has a special purpose that I don't know about, or if it was a mistake, or you are playing a trick on people like me.

Oh yes, I think you meant "descent" not "decent" in the sentence I quoted above.

Best wishes, Wanderer57 05:07, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! ^^

Mizu onna sango15 05:16, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. It seems you put a link in the article that takes you to the article. Like going around in a circle.  ??? Take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spontaneous_human_combustion&diff=prev&oldid=170463066

It's not doing any harm but I was curious about it.

Cheers, Wanderer57 06:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me! I think I would've gotten into a bit of trouble if someone else'd seen that! It's fixed. Thanks, again, Wanderer.

Questions and help

{{helpme}} I just finished reviewing the suspected sock puppets page, and I saw that some IP adresses were on the suspected list! How could this be possible? How do they know that it's the same person? Couldn't it just be someone else in the area? Also, does this mean that if more than one person lives at a residence (most specifically, dormatories), only one person living there can have a wikipedia account (since they would have the same IP adress, provided they use the same computer, and could thus be identified as a puppetmaster)?

Sometimes IPs are puppetmasters. Like, for example, this IP who gets repeatedly blocked and resets his modem. That's sockpuppetry and something I like to call "The IP Recycling Program". -Goodshoped 02:23, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see... Thank you for the assistance!

Mizu onna sango15 02:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome! -Goodshoped 02:47, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

{{helpme}} How can I prevent the constant and tedious edit conflicts that I get when I'm giving out vandalism warnings to IP adresses? I just don't think it would be appropriate of me to use an {{inuse}}or {{underconstruction}} template on a user talk page, especially since it's not mine, but I'm always getting caught in edit conflicts with other CVU members/recent changes patrollers and it's a bit frustrating. Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving. Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 22:57, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I would suggest using using some ANTI-VANDAL tools, such as Vandal-proof and Twinkle. You could also use User:VoA/monobook.js if you cant use the other ones (TW doesn't work on IE and VP needs regestration), but it is a little out-of-date. I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask me on my talkpage.--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions)} 02:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 02:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Cool! ~_~

Heh Heh, just looked at your userboxes and noticed that you play the violin! How good are you at it? I just started my 3rd year playing it. This year at my school we began learning a lot more about the E string, and a lot of 4 finger stuff. We also had our first concert! Unfortuantly, our teacher is a ...well...a mean "witch" if you know what I mean. ;)

-L337p4wn 06:34, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, L337p4wn!

Yep, I play the Violin! Actually, I'm not that advanced, I'm on my 4th or 5th year playing. And, yes... I've had my share of mean teachers as well, this year I have a male teacher who has no experience playing the violin at all! O__O Mizu onna sango15 06:42, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Heh Heh. L337p4wn 18:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh and also, I noticed you also might want to speak German in the future. I speak it!, so if you ever have any "German language" related questions...just ask! :) L337p4wn 18:34, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Really? Thanks! ^^ By the way, what's with all those odd umlauts and letters used in German? What do they mean? Mizu onna sango15 21:26, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, umlauts are just like letters. The only real reason for them is to pronunciate different sounds. For example, ü is an umlaut that is pronounced "ooo". An example of a Umlaut word would be überstzen which means "translate", and is pronounced ooo-buh-zet-sen!

L337p4wn 02:50, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Ah, cool! So, what does "ß" mean? Is it pronounced like it looks, like a letter B? Mizu onna sango15 02:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

ß is called eszett, which means is two s. So if I sad Tschüß, (Goodbye), It would turn out the be Tschü*ßss* (ß). L337p4wn 03:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see! :) I like the German language! ^^ I think I've found a third language to learn! Thanks! ^^ Do you know any places where I can learn german?

Yes actually! I HIGHLY suggest Skype!!! It's a VoIP, where you can chat to people who want to make friends internationally, learn languages, and other things! It's free to call users, but they also offer VERY VERY VERY low rates for callnig landline phones across the globe. I personally use it to talk to friends from Japan, Germany, and England. My name is nick_gallegos if you ever want to chat!

L337p4wn 04:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Cool! I'll have to check that out! So, you can actually call people around the world and have conversations with them via phone? :D Awesome! What exactly is a VoIP, if I may ask? Mizu onna sango15 05:08, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, you can call people around the word for like a 0.0432 cent charge per minute which is EXTREMELY LOW. And you have to have a headset to voice chat to another person obviously...but you can chat to people with text, just like a normal chat window. So, you caan still talk to people around the world...but just by instant messege...or pay a small fee (about $3 per month) to call people around the world to call.

And I have no idea what a VoIP is...I like big words. :)

-L337p4wn 15:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Wow. That is awesome. :D You know, I didn't think there would be anyone my age editing on Wikipedia, but that is so cool. ^^ Mizu onna sango15 05:08, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Wait, do you mean that in a younger sense, or an older sense? L337p4wn 15:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I just meant that, as long as I've been editing Wiki, I've never met another teen who likes editing Wiki, that's all! Most of my friends are too busy with dating and laying on the couch at home listening to their iPods (I can't blame them) to edit Wikipedia. I'm wonder if they've even heard of it? ^^ Mizu onna sango15 03:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Heh Heh, I hear ya'! I only got ONE person to join, and they haven't logged on in two months. xD Yeah, most of the people at my school are:

.- Idiots .- Obviously can't comprehend common English .- Don't really care.

I swear, nobody has an intrest in teaching the world knowledge...

L337p4wn 04:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC) (Heck, I like to edit Wiki!)

Tsk, I know. I never thought Wikipedia would be so addicting! I <3 Wiki! :D Mizu onna sango15 05:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Heh Heh, I do too! ^.^

L337p4wn 14:57, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

^_^ Yay! Heh. So, have you ever created a bot or owned a bot before? I'm thinking about attempting to create one, or maybe just adopting one. It might be helpful to me! ^^ I'm just worried about it screwing up on me. -_-; Mizu onna sango15 02:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, not really...I kinda tend to go towards average Wiki-dom. >,< L337p4wn 14:57, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

^_^ Heh. So, do you speak any other languages? :D I wish I spoke more than just two! Mizu onna sango15 04:24, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, I speak German, English, some Japanese...and barely a word of Spanish. :) L337p4wn 14:54, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Cool! I wish I could learn some more. ^^

Hey, how do you join the Wikipedia CVU? I was up all night reverting vandalism, and I thought it might be a good idea to join. Or do you have to be an admin? -- Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 17:03, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

All you gotta do is go to the CVU page, look for a signup page, then add your name. Congratulations, you are now a member of the CVU! ^_^

-- L337p4wn (talk) 19:28, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Awesome. ^__^ Thanks, L337-chan! Sorry I haven't been active for a few days! I've been really busy lately. :D Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 18:39, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh it's okay! I'm always busy...(Yay!, I gained the "chan" honorific). L337p4wn (talk) 14:58, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes! You are now a "chan"! ^^ *giggles childishly* Heh. It could be like a hiearchy. In that case... That would probably make Jimbo Wales a "sama". :D Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 01:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Heh Heh, From now on...It's Jimbo-sama! xD (God, I hope he isn't reading this...) L337p4wn (talk) 14:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Heh... I know. He might vandalize our userpages (with an IP adress) for this! >_< Still, it's better than Jimbo-chan or even Jimbo-kun. ^^ Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 02:49, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Heh Heh, Wonder If he can get banned, then unban himslef... L337p4wn (talk) 04:34, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually... Hmm. I think he could ban and unban himself, right? I mean, he did found Wikipedia. *rushes over to Jimbo Wales statue and bows to it* Aaaah! O great Jimmy, let your wisdom guide us to... Um... Improve Wikipedia as best we can! Heh heh. Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 19:05, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Heh Heh, BLOW UP THE STATUE! ALL HAIL Larry Sanger!! L337p4wn (talk) 23:02, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Dx Treason against The King! The death penalty you shall recieve now. Haha. That'll teach you. *Evil grin*

Happy Thanksgiving, by the way! Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 23:07, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! You too! Eat any Tofurkey? L337p4wn (talk) 01:12, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

O__O I absolutely love Tofurky! It tastes a lot like real meat (I became a vegetarian about a year ago), and it's not only vegetarian, it's healthier for you, too! Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 01:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Heh Heh! L337p4wn (talk) 05:16, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

^^

Hey, L337-chan. Do you have a Japanese Rendering support? I keep downloading one from microsoft.com to get rid of that annoying Mojibake, but I still see garbage characters! I don't know what's going on! Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 01:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, I just got the language pack from Microsoft, ad it's working fine! I hate Mojibake... L337p4wn (talk) 19:19, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I know. I wonder... Maybe I didn't download it right. Hmm. Thanks, L337! Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 19:54, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

What vandalism?

Re this reversion. What vandalism are you referring to? It appeared on my browser as if I deleted two non-printable characters in the middle of "oriented". -- JHunterJ (talk) 01:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Eh? :S I'm terribly sorry... When I looked at it, it appeared that an annonymous IP adress blanked out the entire page! Has this ever happened to you? *thinks to self* Maybe I clicked a wrong button, or something? Ah, once again, I appologise for my mistake. Heh-heh. Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 02:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Chat

Hi, do you chat on the Internet using IMs or something? -- Mentifisto 15:23, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Um... No, I don't. Why? :/ Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 01:44, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Nothing... just we have the same interests so I thought we might become friends etc. -- Mentifisto 02:47, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, I never talked with someone from Alaska. :-p -- Mentifisto 02:50, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

:O Oh, I'm so sorry- that must've sounded so rude! Oh, no... I just thought that it had to do with some technical thing. ^^ Sorry about that! So, no, I don't really, but I guess we could use my talk page. :) Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 02:53, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

didn't vandalize anything

Hi, you told me I was vandalizing. How do you know I didn't think that Cincinnati needed two charts. Just because you don't think so doesn't mean it vandalism. You should be blocked since your breaking a rule of Wikipedia. You taking ownership of a page. That is wrong.

What makes you think I'm taking ownership of a page? I don't even know that page-- I looked it up under recent changes. Look, if I have made a mistake, just let me know. Don't get hostile. Just who are you, exactly...? Sign your comments, so we know who you are next time, please. Happy Thanksgiving. Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 20:50, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

sorry

I've had a bad day —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.116.51 (talk) 21:07, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

That's understandable, but please calm down. Wouldn't want an argument to start; that really would warrant a block or ban. :) Mizu onna sango15 (talk) 21:13, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
