User talk:Kkrouni

I just Archived this page. There is nothing wrong. Also that archive box is for special events only (like me being found innocent of being a sockpuppet). For all other generic archives, see werdnabot's archives of this page. I may archive my page by myself if it gets too long too fast, and there's at least a month before a Werdnabot archive.

NOTE: I many things to do, both here and in the real world. I will try to keep up and I probably will, but responses may be delayed for hours to a day or two. (PS. I turn in for the night at ~0:10 UTC sometimes later).

Welcome, to Wikipedia! Greetings, and welcome! I'm known here as Cascadia, and I personally extend a welcome to you to our project. I personally hope you decide to stay and help out. Whether you create new articles, watch for vandalism, improve existing articles, or just offer your help any way you can, there is lots to be done. By now you've figured out a lot of things: how to setup a username, and perhaps how to edit an article. There's lots of cool things to learn how to do within Wikipedia. This template I made by hand! You can make your own items too to help further our goal. I've provided a list of helpful things to get you started. They are just the beginning of things you'll need to know. Should you need more help, all you have to do is ask. Getting Started Sometimes getting started is all the help you need. Here are a few places to learn how to do just that: General Help•The Tutorial•Formatting Cheatsheet Some additional links of interest: The Sandbox, a place to test out Wikipedia's features. What Wikipedia is. What Wikipedia isn't. How to edit a page. Tips on how to write a great article. The Manual of Style. These links will get you going as far as starting with Wikipedia. Get Personal Don't become another Wikipedia robot! Get personal! While that doesn't mean take everything personally, but let you show through in your commenting. Setup your Userpage, let us know who you are, where you from... in general, what makes you tick! No need to give out droves of personal information, just "Hi! I'm Bob (or Jane)! I'm from (someplace) I'm interested in (subjects)" will suffice. Show that you are a Real person on the other side of this network! To begin editing, click on your username at the top of the window. Talk! Discussion is a major factor of Wikipedia. Don't be afraid to talk! Just remember to sign your posts with ~~~~, or four (4) tildes. It will translate into your username followed by a timestamp. Rules, Regs, and all that mumbo-jumbo Now, as part of an online community, there are some rules and such that everyone needs to be aware of. A full list of those are availble here. However, there are a few I want to share with you: Be BOLD! Wikipedia can't expand unless we hitch up our boots and do what needs to be done. Occationally, that means coming under some fire, but be bold none the less! If it needs to be changed, change it! If someone argues with you, explain your actions. Perfection is NOT required So, you want to write an article about something that interests you. GREAT! Don't be afraid about your edits if you're not that good at writing. Thats why it's a Wiki, someone will surely come along and help you improve your article. The best advice is to write your article using Word, or another word processor that checks for grammar and spelling. Copy and paste this into a Notepad to clean it of any extra formatting. Copy and Paste it again into Wikipedia, add any formatting, pictures, etc., and save. Done! If it's not perfect, DON'T WORRY! Verifiability, not Truth Okay, so you got the HOT SCOOP on something. You know how how so-and-so died. You know how much corruption was behind some project. Can we verify it? Has someone published this information in a Newspaper, or a valid book? If you can't verify it, it can't go in. Sure... common knowledge is common knowledge. You may not be able to without a shadow of a doubt verify that at exit 123 on some road there is a narrow bridge, or something of importance, but it is there. Attribute sources as much as possible. If you can't, it may be deleted or challenged. If it is a common sense thing, then it may be left. Keep it NEUTRAL Don't let your opinions show through in your edits, as much as possible anyways. Everyone here is human, and humans are opinionated beings... it happens. Just, try to keep from being POV'd. Assume Good Faith Blatant vandalism is vandalism, but if it's something that is not as obvious as adding an obscenity in the middle of an article about puppies, assume it was a good-faith mistake. Correct it, but don't get mad at the editor. No Personal Attacks Things can get heated sometimes. Just remember to keep it cool. It's not always possible, and people frequently find themselves saying something they didn't mean. But if you watch out for it, you can avoid it! I hope you've found these links helpful. These are by no means the end of the information available, but it is a start. Should you need help, remember I am here for your assistance. Ask a question if you need, but above all remember... Be Bold! Sincerely yours, Cascadia TALK| HISTORY

RE:Sentece on userpage

No, it used to say Please ask Patricknoddy if you want to copy from this page., but people got mad at it. So I struck the ask thing, and replaced it with feel free and added Thanks.. - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)|HISTORY} 19:45, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Help

Where's the image and page at that you need help with? CASCADIA^Howl/_Trail 21:23, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

On my userpage [Image:2006-01-28 Drop-impact.jpg] [/subpage2|here]--Kkrouni 21:28, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I Reduced size of the image to make it easier to load, if you need it any bigger, adjust the px size. Is this the image you were referring to? CASCADIA^Howl/_Trail 21:31, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, thank you, but (don't trouble yourself doing it) could you tell me how to make that link to the subpage, if that's possible--Kkrouni 21:32, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Done. Although it may be better as a menubar. CASCADIA^Howl/_Trail 21:38, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

New password?

I know that I'm editing with my ip, which has again been renewed (I think, hopefuly not so that you can use check user), but could you give me my password? I forgot it, and it was long, 26 digits long, and it should be close to the alphabet, but I typed something wrong, ironicly twice, in the confirm password, and password boxes. 22:27, 4 May 2007 (UTC) WAHOOO MY IP IS STILL THE SAME!!! Checkuser will work for sure!

PS I won't be back till 9:30 Eastern time

Did you provide an e-mail address when you created your account? If so, you can click on the "e-mail new password" button. If you didn't provide an e-mail, you can always create another account. Hope that helps, and sorry if it didn't. Feel free to ask me any more questions! *Cremepuff222* 23:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Well I put down an email for Kkrouni usurped, but not Kkrouni. Can admin's see or retreive passwords, is that possible? Then could he/she send me Kkrouni's password? 01:37, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

No, administrators cannot retrieve passwords of accounts. If you haven't provided an e-mail with this account, then you can't retrieve your password. Real96 01:43, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Never mind turns out I never pressed save! Thank God.--Kkrouni 01:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Personal Welcome

I added a personal welcome further up, to prevent it from being removed by the archive bot right away. It contains a lot of good links. I completed your editor review, you do need a lot of work to be honest. Hard work usually pays off though. CASCADIA^Howl/_Trail 00:48, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: About archiving

The archivers only take items that are 1)Timestamped and 2)Below a heading ==Like this==, by placing my welcome message higher up, it doesn't get picked up by the bot ;-) CASCADIA^Howl/_Trail 01:01, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Ironic you suggest I make it a template... it is one! It's held at User:Cascadia/Userboxes. As far as Lilkunta, thanks for the offer, but at this point the only one who can assist me is an admin. I've requested an admin at one of the notice boards... no response yet. CASCADIA^Howl/_Trail 01:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Remember to subst:

Don't forget to add subst: to templates that you add to pages to reduce server load. I've added them to a couple of welcome templates on user talk pages (where I was adding speedy deletion notices...  :-/ ) Thanks. --Finngall ^talk 22:23, 7 May 2007 (UTC) Oh sorry...--Kkrouni 22:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

For instance, replace {{User:Utcursch/wel}} with {{subst:User:Utcursch/wel}}. For a more in-depth article on the subject, please see WP:SUBST. Thanks again. --Finngall ^talk 22:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

re User talk:Evolamborghini

That's a nice welcome template, what's it called? Herostratus 22:57, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Help?

Could someone please give me the templates for speedy deletion, and the warning to new users that says something like you're test worked on so and so page, and it's been reverted? I just joined the welcoming committee. Thanks.--Kkrouni 23:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kkrouni. Have a look at WP:UTM for template messages for vandalism. Also have a look here for CSD stuff. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions. Tim.bounceback^{(talk | contribs | ubxen)} 23:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

I hope this headline works. Anyway, thanks for welcoming me to Wikipedia, Kkrouni! Oh, and by the way, on your user page, "view" is spelled wrong. :) Kukuri and Nike 02:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

The contest does not begin until next week

I notice that you have registered for the contest when registration was closed. That is okay, but you will not be judged until the 19th. Please register when registration is open next time. Thank you. GreaterWikiholic 00:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

User bar

{{helpme}} Could someone instruct me on creating a User bar? Help would be appreciated thank you.

Go here. Real96 23:34, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Big text markup

Could someone tell me how the <Big> </Big> text markups effect pages and their surrounding text? Thank you--Kkrouni 00:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC) {{helpme}}

<big> and </big> make the text within the delimiters (<big></big>) text bigger without affecting the surrounding text. Hope that helps, ~ Magnus animuM ≈ √∞ 00:53, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I think that it mainly only make the surrounding text look smaller and thus disrupts the surrounding text. ~ Magnus animuM ≈ √∞ 01:01, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Re:Cowboy Rocco

Apologies for the lateness of the response, I hadn't even noticed the message on my talk page.

Anyway, I have absolutely no desire to get involved with the Cowboy Rocco affair. Additionally, I'm not going to mess with a checkuserblock. They know more about what's going on than I do. Happy editing to you. Teke^talk 02:14, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Checkuser request

I have filed a formal checkuser request against Cowboy Rocco's account, with this account being a suspected sockpuppet. Please do not post allegations or defenses on my talk page or the checkuser request page. Let them do their job, and abide by the results. Teke^talk 04:47, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I just want to say

DAMN YOU ROCCO I don't even know why I tried to help you. I just don't know why! I hate you Raul I'm just so tired of this. This is like some retard mery go round. Oh and to all you out there yeah Wrestling Dougie = Cowboy Rocco in case you were accually that dumb! Yes I had puppets too, not that many, yes so did Rocco. We are close friends but I give up! There's no friggin' way to prove anything to you admins with logic. Try to help -> Smile you've got banned! Hi friend - admins thought process> I am a sockpuppet of "friend" I might be back in July but I just hate you all right now (except Funpika and Cascadia both of which I have no control over...) And if you have this much time to edit, YOU ADMINS NEED THESE THINGS THAT NORMAL PEOPLE CALL LIVES --Kkrouni 20:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. you never said you don't want to get involved, which is the JOB of an admin, and we're both too lazy to change our colours in our signatures. I suppose you'll block my friend from school Micahv1 because I know him too huh? And then block all the Ip's... Well Kkrouni's not blocked I don't think?. Mabey it is so I might make edits in the computer lab... You all just hate everyone you wierd emo fat wierdos!!!!!!!!!--Kkrouni 20:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh and will you block all of those users who use my templates that I made? Will you delete those four and ban all welcomers who use that one template that I use alot? I know that I'm too critical, but come on! You make too big a deal about nothing yourselves also... Why why must I constantly beg and argue? The only good thing that comes out of it is better typing skills and winning most of my arguments at school... Well I think this will help me with punctuation, language, and grammar. (Ha Ha cerial comma for all you who have that as a pet peeve). Oh I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I got into NJHS along with (wrestling) Dougie. Ha ha Raul I've always wanted to tell you how fat you are, and ouch writers cramp... Oh supper with my NICE KIND UNDERSTANDING family that any of you wouldn't ever appreciate because it's not super nerdy and online. Whatever I'm out of here BYE!!!!--Kkrouni 20:45, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh yeah, don't forget to enforce you're cabal while abusing you're power with complete disregard for those less important that you, and most importantly forget to learn from you're mistakes even though you never forget to do so!!!!--Kkrouni 20:54, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Wow I just wrote all of that?????--Kkrouni 20:54, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

WTF, Mate? Don't forget to breathe. But seriously, personal attacks aren't good. CASCADIA^Howl/_Trail 13:06, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
