Welcome

Hello, EddieSegoura, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! (By the way, I've moved your email msg to your user page. You may want to add a spamblock to prevent unwanted email, or simply link like this)

Now, My Wikipedia career really begins

To My fellow Wikipedians:
I'm happy to say today is a new day for Me and My fellow Users of this site. I know My first two weeks of editing were tumultuous and rough, but I hope those incidents are water under the bridge and I'm willing to put those misadventures behind and start building a good reputation so that many months from now, I can try again for an RfA promotion with improved results. Earning Admin privileges is in some way like earning a gold colored star on [EBay]. It takes time. Fortunately I've built one so far on EBay over the past five years (Check it out). Even if My next RfA fails, I'd be happy if it would have some support. I certainly would feel good in volunteering My time to welcome and help new folks get acquainted with joining this site, as well as help keep bad pages off.
I'd like to thank all those who made this new beginning possible -- Eddie Segoura 5:35 PM, December 3, 2005 (EST)

FYI, "my" isn't capitalized unless it's at the beginning of a sentence. Allynfolksjr 06:45, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again

Honestly, I don't know what to say. It looks like you're doing fine, better at least, but I don't have time for an exhaustive look at your edits. If you have any specific questions about something, or ever feel the need for help, my talk page is there for you. If no one's complaining, don't fret. One question I do have, though, is why do you always capitalize your pronouns? :-) Dmcdevit·t 01:37, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a habit I picked up when I read a certain book where pronouns were capitalized. It's hard to explain but most people don't seem annoyed by it, oh well  :) --Eddie 01:42, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Bible? :) Dmcdevit·t 01:44, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, but it was a book with stories about it.-- Eddie 09:19, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where did you get the image Image:DCMap.jpg? You didn't take the picture yourself, obviously, so you can't release it as GFDL. Remember all our discussion about how you should ask someone before you upload an image you didn't make yourself? Anyway, where exactly is the image from? —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 16:14, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I used Google Earth in conjunction with a screen capture program to get the map. I removed the GFDL, put an IFD tag and left it up to other editors to decide whether should stay since I have no idea what the license tag should be. -- Eddie 21:51, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've deleted it; it's a clear copyright violation. Eddie, that's the sort of thing that can get Wikipedia into hot water. Screenshots and DVD captures are ok as "fair use" in an article about the program or DVD being captured from, but grabbing satellite photos from Google Earth (or almost anywhere else) is wrong. And never, ever, ever put the "GFDL" tag on an image you didn't make youself, unless if the people who made it say it is GFDL. You are going to have to learn how these copyright issues work if you are ever going to be an admin. Or if you are going to continue to upload pictures at all. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 22:07, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
D'oh! Okay, I didn't mean it. I'll stick to TV Screenshots for now. -- Eddie 22:57, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your AFD votes

Your AFD votes to move into user subpages many advertisement articles will definitely attract opposes to any future RFA as it shows you don't understand policy here. I suggest you STOP encouraging people to archive advertisement articles into perwsonal subpages. NSLE (T+C) 01:14, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, only if You stop complaning about it, I'll just vote to get rid of them. Archiving is up the the page creator. -- Eddie 02:55, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, because it'd probably get MFD'd. WP:NOT, Eddie, you still have a profound inability to understand this policy. NSLE (T+C) 03:02, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, then I won't mention archiving from now on, WP:NOT said it's not a personal webpage thing, is that what You're concerned about? -- Eddie 03:11, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, Eddie, Wikipedia is not a soapbox for advertising. Thta is the point Im making. NSLE (T+C) 03:12, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Then I'll just vote delete on ad articles, would that make You happy? -- Eddie 03:14, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That would be the best course of action. NSLE (T+C) 03:17, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, agreed. Let's move on now. I need feedback for articles I added (and am working on): Deal Casino & Myrtle Avenue. I also feel good about My edits to Nick Arcade, turning a simple synopsis into a full detailed article with images. -- Eddie 03:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

redirects

Please don't create redirects from articles to "Wikipedia:" pages, like the one you created from Deletion review to Wikipedia:Deletion review. FreplySpang (talk) 03:06, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why not? -- Eddie 03:09, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Because "deletion review" isn't a subject for an encyclopedia article, and our particular deletion review process is not relevant to most of our readers. There are many, many more readers than editors. Also, it makes things more difficult for people who redistribute our content. In general, it's not good to create redirects from articles to other kinds of pages (like "User:" pages, "Wikipedia:" pages, and so forth). FreplySpang (talk) 03:12, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, Freply. I won't recreate it. -- Eddie 03:13, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Exicornt

That's a good start, thank you. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:13, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good Job

Nice job on the Image:KingsHighway.jpg licensing and description. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You  :) --Eddie 11:07, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You forgot to tag Image:CanarsieCrossover.jpg. NSLE (T+C) 04:53, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'll do it. --Eddie 04:54, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks from rogerd

File:Baseball (ball) closeup.jpg
Hi EddieSegoura- Thanks for your support on my RfA. I appreciate the kind words that you used in your comments. If I can be of any service please leave me a message --rogerd 01:24, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome, Rogerd, I hope you return the favor when I run for RfA later this year. -- Eddie 04:43, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the link isn't broken, but wikipedia is having problems with its image server right now, and a lot of images are not rendering. --rogerd 04:48, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I found that out when I uploaded an image image and that too failed to load. -- Eddie 04:50, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay now the images work. I restored the "Broken" image. -- Eddie 05:42, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand how you feel about "returning the favor" on RfA votes. I saw the conversation below. I don't think you offended anyone, but I agree that that isn't what this should be about. There was a user who opposed (later switching his vote to neutral) on my RfA. My first thought was: "That bum! I supported his RfA!". Upon further reflection, I realized that one thing had nothing to do with the other. He voted on my RfA based on what he thought was appropriate. A lot of users don't like blatant "campaigning" for RfA's. I personally don't like to use the term "promote", because it implies that admins are "better" than non-admins (they aren't). I like you (we share the same favorite baseball team) and I wish you well both in wikipedia and in the "real world". What you are doing now - editing articles and becoming a better member of this community, is far more important that becoming an admin. When you come up for nomination as an admin, I will consider your nomination with an open mind and vote accordingly. I am more inclined to vote to support someone with whom I have had positive interactions, and my interactions with you have been positive. The most important thing for me on RfA votes is that the user understands how this community works how we go about building a good encyclopedia. I hope that I can support you some day, and also hope that we can be friends regardless of how that transpires. Good luck and thanks again for your support. Please contact me if there is anything I can do to help. Go Yanks! --rogerd 03:29, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will contact you if I need you, and yes, Let's go yankees (can't wait till opening day) -- Eddie 08:31, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Esperanza Admin coaching

Hi! I've assigned Kirill Lokshin and User:Voice of All as your admin coaches for the Esperanza Admin Coaching program! You'll be working with them as you go along. Just tell me if there's any problems, ok? Go and introduce yourself to your coaches! :) Titoxd(?!? - help us) 05:56, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Eddie! Welcome to Esparanza's Admin Coaching Program!
Since we've just started this, we don't really have any set plans yet; maybe Voice of All has some ideas on what we can do. Is there anything in particular you'd prefer for us to do, or any specific areas you'd like advice in?
He needs to learn about WP:NPOV, WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:NPA, how to cite (Harvard and footnotes), Fair use, what to do with copyvios, how templates work (what a metatemplate is, what a susbt does) how to talk to (or ignore) vandals, what to do with trolls, when articles should be deleted, how to range block, how to look out for sockpuppets, when to protect articles, what consitutes vandalism (reverting it does not violate 3RR), what constitues "gaming 3RR", this is a huge mouthful aready, and I am leaving things out...so lets have fun!:)
I am currently converting an article to footnotes, and it is LONG and tedious, but that what admins do sometimes.Voice of AllT|@|ESP 01:29, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you have any questions, just let me know, and I'll do my best to answer them! Kirill Lokshin 13:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I need to learn what it takes to get an RfA promotion, and it probably include spotting vandals. -- Eddie 13:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see if I know these already:
  • WP:NPOV = Neutral point of view. Basically it means that everyone should be able to agree on stuff posted and edited in Wikipedia's mainspace.
  • WP:V = Vandalism. The act of editing pages or putting nonsense or pages. Their are many types of this vandalism, from blanking pages to adding profanity to pages to adding stuff that is patently false.
  • WP:NOR = No original research -- stuff posted on wikipedia needs to be verified.
  • WP:NPA = No personal attacks -- don't attack other users.
  • To create a template You need to start the page with Template:mytemplate. To use the tamplate You'd put it in {{ }}

This of course is just a start, but feel free to correct Me if I'm wrong. -- Eddie 22:50, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seems good to me. BTW, try to use your talk page for now, I'll watchlist it.Voice of AllT|@|ESP 23:13, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Very nice! One thing to note with WP:NPOV is that it does not require everyone to agree; views that are only held by a few people don't generally need to be included. Earth, for example, states that the planet is round, even though some people may claim that it is flat ;-) —Kirill Lokshin 23:25, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, NPOV seems simple, but you will see that is get complicated sometimes. Representation of POVs should be proportional to the amount of people and their credibility(position, notability). If some professor you heard of is the only supporter of something, and no one else is, then his view will not get mentioned, even if you belief him or think that "it just hastn't gotten out yet".Voice of AllT|@|ESP 23:28, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Pardon the third-party butting in, but you should be aware: Some people will be uneasy about promoting someone who seems particularly eager for it. Especially with comments like below that come off sounding like "I voted for you; you should vote for me." IMO the best way to establish yourself as a good candidate for adminship is to simply start editing like one. I don't mean you should pretend to be a sysop of course. Just do the right thing and if people feel you'd benefit from the admin tools, someone will nominate you sometime. Friday (talk) 23:28, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, my friend Friday(God I love Fridays) is right, but only in the sense that you will get promoted. I don't want you to get promoted and then not know what to to end get into conflicts. God knows I still get into issue myself, sometimes it gets hard to avoid until you learn by experience. But many newbie admin mistakes were do to "promote now...yay I'm an admin....wait, how do you delete images?". I want you to be a good admin, not just an admin.Voice of AllT|@|ESP 01:06, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I didn't know that asking for a vote in return for my own would offend anyone. I will not do it again. -- Eddie 03:01, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I would be a good sysop, I just need to learn the ins and outs of doing what I'm supposed to do as a sysop. -- Eddie 03:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

I don't have a fancy layout like other new admins, but I just want to thank you for your support at my RfA. It passed 47/3/1, so I have officially been promoted. I hope I won't let you down. If I'm not doing something properly, please tell me. Aecis Mr. Mojo risin' 21:27, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dsmdgold's RfA

Thank you for your support in my RfA. Dsmdgold 20:10, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome -- Eddie 20:16, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Me

Nope, I'm still around, just terribly busy ;-)

Since you asked about it, I'll try to write up some advice on vandal-fighting a bit later this week; if there's anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask. —Kirill Lokshin 14:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it. -- Eddie 23:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Finding vandalism

I'm assuming here that you already know how to revert a page to remove any vandalism you find, and so will focus primarily on finding it in the first place; feel free to ask if you need any help with reverting.

General tips
  • Once you find a user (or, more likely, an IP address) that is vandalizing, be sure to check their other recent contributions; they're quite likely to be vandalism as well.
  • Know a few warning templates (like {{test}}, {{bv}}, and so forth) and add them to the talk pages of anyone whose vandalism you revert. See the template talk pages for more detailed information about the sequence in which to use them.
Variation 1 - User-page vandalism
  • The easiest vandalism to catch is to user pages. Select the User: namespace from Special:Recentchanges and look for anyone (particularly IPs) editing another user's user page. 99% of the time, this is either vandalism or someone reverting vandalism.
Variation 2 - Low-profile vandalism
  • This is somewhat more productive than Variation 1, but also more time-consuming. From Special:Recentchanges, select 500 edits as the page size, then go do something else for a few minutes. When you come back, check through all the edits on the page without refreshing it; you'll likely find some vandalism that the RC patrollers have missed.
Variation 3 - Template and category vandalism
  • Edits by IPs to pages the Template: and Category: namespaces are often vandalism.
Variation 4 - High-profile vandalism
  • From here on in, you'll need access to CryptoDerk's Vandal Fighter, a small program that greatly improves your ability to spot vandalism. Once you've figured out how to use it (ask me if you need any help), you'll notice that CDVF will display, next to each new edit, the amount of text added or removed; it can also be set to flag anything over a particular threshhold with a special color. In general, large removals of text tend to be page-blanking vandalism.
Variation 5 - RC patrol
  • As an extension of Variation 4, you can use CDVF to check some (or even all, if you're fast enough) edits as they come in. Particular things to look for: edits to another user's user page (this can be set to a separate color), large removals of text (as in Variation 4 above), edits to high-profile or popular pages (knowing these is something of an art, but some pages, like George W. Bush, tend to see more vandalism than legitimate edits).

This obviously isn't meant to be everything you'll ever want to know about vandalism, but it should be enough to get you started. If anything I've written here is unclear, or if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. —Kirill Lokshin 14:31, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let me add a few points. If you revert anything that isn't vandalism, please revert yourself and don't wait for someone else to clean up after you, this will hurt you. If you aren't clear if something is vandalism or not, talk to the user on his/her talk page (however, generally speaking, most bad IP edits that are borderline will be vandalism). Don't misuse warning templates, or you could find yourself on the wrong end of an incivility complaint. NSLE (T+C) 00:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll try My best . -- Eddie 01:05, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you, EddieSegoura
Thank you! for voting in my RFA. It failed with a result of 31/11/2. Although you didn't have to vote twice! Thanks. If you have any comments, please say so here. Thank you!

Hi Eddie, have you ever thought of joining the Welcoming committee? NSLE (T+C) 07:17, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:HenryBigg.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 18:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You and Rudy

You and the former Mayor are Brooklynites and Yankee fans. 'Tis strange ... 'this passing strange. -- Cecropia 02:26, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I see Him at the game, too. It's not everyday You get a message from a user that can bless You with a promotion. :) -- Eddie 05:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
LOL Very strange indeed Yankees76 04:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I received a request from User:Eddiesegoura to unblock him. I blocked this some months ago as an impostor of you. Can you confirm that it's really you and you want that account unblocked? -- Curps 01:36, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That was Me, also unlock User:Eddie segoura. I understand your actions, though -- Eddie 03:32, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, they're unblocked. -- Curps 05:41, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Whats up?

I've been watching your page and there has been little activity. Here is a task if you are interested: when new WP:RfPP request come up...tell me what you would do for each of them.Voice-of-AllT|@|ESP 02:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try that. Thanks. -- Eddie 03:32, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, you're not supposed to reply to WP:RFPP - only admins who can protect pages reply to requests. I'm assuming you're supposed to reply to Voice of All. NSLE (T+C) at 10:41 UTC (2006-02-23)
That is why I said to me...because you are not yet an admin.Voice-of-AllT|@|ESP 16:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I neve did reply. Anyway, I'd temporarily protect Serbophobia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Sections are getting deleted and reverted, according to the page's history. -- Eddie 23:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes...though an admin already decided to do so. Looking only at the last day...there is not enough to protect. However, if an edit war has been going on for a few days...and is still going on...then it should protect, as it is was. If it was vandalism instead, you would block the vandal, or if he used AOL you would semi-protect. Note that whether an IP is involved or not...any disputed article will not be semi-protected. SPro is only for vandals.Voice-of-AllT|@|ESP 03:58, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
According to what You said, I'd leave NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) alone and temporarily block the vandal IPs. -- Eddie UTC 17:22, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. That would be the best course of action, allowing for other people to edit the article.Voice-of-AllT|@|ESP 01:11, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your Comment

Don't worry my friend, it's not permanent, in the end though, nothing is permanent. There will probably be a re-rfa in a few days, but thank you for your support in any case, I'm glad I was able to help you out. Karmafist 13:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I supported You, but still it might take a few nominations to get You promoted again. -- Eddie, Tuesday February 28 2006 at 17:03
Well, feel free to nominate me again, my friend. Just wait until March 4th ;-) I also think that you're on the verge, i'll nominate you if we can work on a short spiel on why you should be nominated. Give me some good things you've done on here.Karmafist 19:54, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Survivor Panama and Edit Histories

Just an FYI, putting spoilers in the edit history is considered bad form, edit histories appear in many places and people who don't watch the shows live (or even those who are 5 or 10 minutes delayed on the TiVo) might inadvertantly see these and spoil the show for them :( AdamJacobMuller 01:52, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've deleted your revision that had the spoilers in the edit summary. Since future revisions still took your changes into account none of your changes were lost. NSLE (T+C) at 02:02 UTC (2006-02-24)

I'm sorry, I got used to using summaries that I went a bit too overboard. I won't do it again. BTW, how did You change the way Your date is displayed? Eddie 03:41, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Special:Preferences NSLE (T+C) at 04:14 UTC (2006-02-24)

I know how to change the signature, but not how to put the time. Eddie UTC 04:21, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Go to Special:Preferences, then click on the tab "date and time." Sarah Ewart (Talk) 04:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did that, but nothing about the signature appears. It's clear a coding trick was used in the nickname. -- Eddie UTC 17:17, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you use the trick I use you'll have to sign posts with just three ~s and not 4. I used {{subst:CURRENTTIME}} and its variables. REMEMBER to put subst: though, that's the important bit. NSLE (T+C) at 01:13 UTC (2006-02-25)

Okay, as long as I don't get complaints about it. -- Eddie, 19:33, Thursday October 31 2024 (UTC) at 00:01

Eddie. You MUST use subst: on EVERY tag, otherwise it won't show the real time you posted. NSLE (T+C) at 00:10 UTC (2006-02-26)

What do You mean? -- Eddie, Sunday February 26 2006 at 00:32

Currently your sig reads {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{CURRENTDAYNAME}} [[{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}]] [[{{CURRENTYEAR}}]] ([[UTC]]) at 00:01. You must use {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}, {{subst:CURRENTDAYNAME}} [[{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTDAY}}]] [[{{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}]] ([[UTC]]). NSLE (T+C) at 00:22 UTC (2006-02-26)

Can't I have the date before the time? -- Eddie, Sunday February 26 2006 at 00:32

That doesn't make a difference, you can, as long as you subst: every tag. Otherwise, it works as any normal template and shows the CURRENT time, and not the time you posted (subst: substitutes templates). NSLE (T+C) at 00:35 UTC (2006-02-26)

Thanks for your voting!

Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your voting on my RFA. It has finished with the result 88/14/9, and I am promoted. I am really overwhelmed with the amount of support I have got. With some of you we have edited many articles as a team, with some I had bitter arguments in the past, some of you I consider to be living legends of Wikipedia and some nicks I in my ignorance never heard before. I love you all and I am really grateful to you.

If you feel I can help you or Wikipedia as a human, as an editor or with my newly acquired cleaning tools, then just ask and I will be happy to assist. If you will feel that I do not live up to your expectation and renegade on my promises, please contact me. Maybe it was not a malice but just ignorance or a short temper. Thank you very much, once more! abakharev 07:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Second time's a charm. It goes to show that You shouldn't be discouraged by the same users opposing You again. Good luck. -- Eddie, February 24, 2006 at 17:17

RfA

Eddie -- per your "invitation" on the standards page for RfAs, I'd like to ask your input on my nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Brossow. Thanks in advance for your vote regardless of how you vote. BRossow T/C 17:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, don't forget to indicate You accept the nomination, since another user put You in the running. -- Eddie UTC 17:38, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page

Hey Edderius! I thought I would add a <strike> tag to the two completed tasks you say are completed, I feel it looks neater. You can see how I have done this on my user page here.

Cheers from the United Kingdom! --Gary Kirk (talk) 12:37, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
