Consider whisperback instead of talkback. Some editors prefer it.

If you paste this to someone's talk page, it will appear like the one I just posted above:

Indenting

QUICK TIP Indent your posts with colons. Like this: I like bunnies. :Me too. ::So we both like bunnies? :::Yep. Looks that way. ::::Pretty stupid conversaton. :::::Yep. Did I tell you I'm retarded? ::::::No kidding? Me too. :) I like kittens. :Me too. ::So we both like kittens? etc. etc.

Categories

Hi Miss Bono. If you are using {{userbox}} as the base template, you can add to it:

| usercategory = name of category (without "category:")

You can add others using:

| usercategory2 =

and

| usercategory3 =

If you have made the templates from scratch—basically a table of your own divising, you can just add to the template's code (I suggest at the bottom)

<includeonly>
[[Category:Name of category]]
</includeonly>

Research for Articles

Greetings! I just want to mention that I would be more than happy to help with research on your projects. I have a fairly flexible schedule because I work at home in our home office. If you can have your questions to me early in the day, or send them to me at the end of your day, I can arrange my schedule (between dealing with customers) to help you. It might be a good idea, to set up a new page called "Research" and everything can be seen in one place. What do you think? I have more time during the day than Cullen328 for research, so feel free to let me know what you need.Best, ChesPal (talk)

I just saw the new Research page. Excellent! Thank you for setting it up. I think it will be very helpful to us, so you can focus more easily by having a dedicated space where I can work and assist you. What can I help you with in the way of research? Put your requests in there and I will respond accordingly.ChesPal (talk)

Today

Hi Miss Bono, I too had a busy weekend with a trip to San Francisco on Saturday to visit my older son and his girlfriend on Saturday, and lots of chores on Sunday. Last night we watched "Hugo" when I had been planning some research. Talk to you later. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 15:30, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Can you help me?

Hi-- You know I have little experience outside the Wikipedia or email online. Moxy gave me a Barnstar, but since I didn't design my userpage, so is there some way you can help me? If so, notice the little barnstars at the top right of my page. Can you copy that well enough to add his recent barnstar up top next to the others? I get so little attention for what I do that what I once agreed were pointless shiny things finally show some achievement.??? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 14:11, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Leah... I will be glad to help ypu. What you need is to add the new barnstar? Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 14:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Whoops! HOW embarrassing! The bot that archives my talk page must have just put it in the most recent archive. Bless you for this kindness!--Leahtwosaints (talk) 14:35, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Done, Leah... What do you think? Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 14:42, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Darnit, I was afraid of this, since originally there were little shiny start up top, and it's so hard to guess the size of them at the other place where you tried to help. It's not your fault for trying, I thought this might happen since it's a special technique he developed-- User:Catfish Jim and the soapdish. I wish I could figure it out, but it's probably quicker to get him to do it. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 17:18, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

But, Leah, I see the little start at the top of your page with the same size as the other ones. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 18:00, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

NOT your fault! If I can't get the attention of the now-Admin who created the userpage, eventually I suppose a new userpage should be created.. when I can't fix my own page, then something should be done, I suppose. But I will give him a long time. Honestly I have a whole lot of other things to worry about than some flashy trinkets, bells and whistles. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 12:57, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Help WIth my User/SubPage Dilema

Yes, I wasn't sure how to respond back to your comment from earlier regarding Matmon Internet, but could you instruct me on the proper way to move it from a subpage to it's own article. Also, how do I go about adding images. I want to include the images for the trademarks as well as show brand conversions throughout the time line. Elliottgbrown (talk) 19:04, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Elliottgbrown, I left a response for you at the Teahouse :) Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:08, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Miss Bono I appreciate your help, but the content for Matmon Internet article I was working on seems to be missing now? Could you help me restore that content or move it back to the subpage? Elliottgbrown (talk) 19:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

The content is there. Check this out User:Elliottgbrown/Matmon_Internet I didn't erase anything, I just created your user page, the other one is a subpage. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:25, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Miss Bono Could you check my page and let me know if it is acceptable to push away from the subpage and onto it's own page for Matmon Internet? I have added several citations and sources. Elliottgbrown (talk) 21:21, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

talkback

I got your talkback but didn't know what it was in regard to. I am not a fan of talkbacks. If the issue is at ref desk I usually check noon and after dinner NYC time, best to comment directly there. μηδείς (talk) 19:11, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh, so sorry μηδείς. I didn't want to be annoying. My time and yours are the same. Here is 15:13. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:12, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Pero de que tema tenia que veer tu talkback? μηδείς (talk) 19:18, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Del lío de los aviones. μηδείς clickea aquí:Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Miscellaneous#Hours_and_hours.3F.3F Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:23, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Todavia me estas confundiendo. Estabas preguntandondme algo? o quieres que vea que me has agradecido? No hay de explicar mas si no hay algo que importe.

Pa que sepas, una vez aqui cometi el error de 'confesar' que habia trabajado como 'mesera'. Inmediatamente unos editores comenzaron a decirme cosas como "Como mujer, tu tienes que saber que..." Con esto respondi que no me tutearan ni me trataran como si me conocieran. Hace dos años, pero duran rencores. μηδείς (talk) 20:26, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Creo que me habias dicho que te tuteara en nuestra conversacion en tu talk page. Sorry if I misundertood you :(. I don't know what you mean with that story but it is hard. Olvida lo del link que te di, fue un lapsus mental. Pense haber preguntado algo, creo que lo que queria saber era la mejor opcion entre aviones para escoger ese en la historia. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 20:34, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Jaja, intentaba explicarte por que todavia hay la controversia sobre mi genero; no queria implicar que no me tutearas! Hace unos años habia gran coflagracion aqui en WP sobre este tema, y desde entonces hay unos usuarios que hacen un gran cosa al respecto. No importa, soy nadie. Sobre aviones, depende del viento. Dura 8 horas entre New York y Frankfurt en promedio. Pero cuando fui a Frankfurt hace 25 cinco años cruzamos en 6 horas porque teniamos el jet stream empujandonos de atras. Eso fue solamente de NY hasta West Germany sin parar. Tendrias que cruzar los EEUU y quizas cambiar aviones en Newfoundland o NY o Boston dependiente. μηδείς (talk) 20:55, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, you add : to indent. And make sure you always sign your comments :P Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 13:53, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

What chart do you mean. And... you add this [[User:The Mirror Ball Man|The Mirror Ball Man]] or this {{U|The Mirror Ball Man}}... That's not a real user, is a Bono thing of mine to show you how to ping a user :P... It will look like this Justaguy120 Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 14:00, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Good morning,

Hopefully, I will have my computer back from repair either today or tomorrow, and will be able to help you more on some of your projects. I will let you know. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 14:42, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Those are great news!! :) Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 14:43, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Hey, J^im. i think Justaguy had to go for a while. Regarding the friends issue. I don't know what to think. I try to be friendly with everybody, even with that user that change Bono's picture in the infobox every time I find a good one... I like I Jethrobot a lot, he is nice, cute, and always when I need a helping hand. You are my mentor, and I consider you my friend. Have you heard that line in Beautiful Day?: You thought you'd found a friend/To take you out of this place/Someone you could lend a hand/In return for grace, it is one of my favourite lines there. I think I have found what I was looking for, plenty of friends who help me and I help when I have the answer, but now... I am confused, shouldn't I make friends here? Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 15:22, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Ya, I don't really get the whole friend mess either. I thought it was over. Cullen328 said it was.Justaguy120 (talk) 16:10, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

yeas, it was, I was just asking. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 16:15, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

What's BBR?? Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 16:30, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Oops... I meant BRB. "That's be right back". I can't research for that right now, but I'd be happy to later. Anything else?Justaguy120 (talk) 16:34, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Improving this, and there are so many things to work on that... you should check my user page out and see Articles I have started. All of those need expantion and improvement. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 16:43, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Friendship

Friendly interaction among editors is wonderful thing, and you and I have an especially close relationship, Miss Bono. You can count on me. There is no "mess" but rather a wish on the part of many experienced editors to keep the social interactions centered around writing and expanding encyclopedia articles, and improving the functioning of the encyclopedia. That is, after all, the shared goal that brings us all together. I know that you are working on new articles all the time, Miss Bono. You are a productive editor. But occasionally, someone new comes along, often young and immature, all eager to make new friends, but rarely improving the encyclopedia. Sometimes these users become disruptive and a big time sink for others. Some even start sockpuppeting and vandalizing. So, a certain degree of caution is always appropriate. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 16:49, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, after OMS' incident I don't like to trust anyone new to Wikipedia. When I ask for some help I first dig into the contribs, awards and profiles of the user I will ask for help. That's what I did when I first ask you for mentorship. I am not an expert editor, but I am not a probie either, I try to help the new ones whenever I have the answer (I must confess that sometimes I get lost in chit chats, but that's part of my personality) I cannot be sitting for hours editing Wikipedia without having a conversation that takes the stress out of me. Also, I think I have a big COI-itis, because I am always working on article related to U2... and that worries me. I know I will never have a long list of articles I've started like Anna does, but I try to be helpful :'( Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 17:04, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Having articles just for U2 is OK. There are no rules about what articles to write. The only articles I work on are usually about stuff I'm interested in.Justaguy120 (talk) 17:38, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

Enjoy your holiday time, Miss Bono. As you know, I spent two months in Cuba, and I know about the 26th of July. I used to read Granma very slowly each day, since my Spanish is much worse than your English, and know how that newspaper got its name. I look forward to hearing from you next Monday. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 18:29, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

I am not leaving yet, Cullen³²⁸ . Maybe I'll be here tomorrow cuz I have to be on duty... xP My boss just told me now. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 18:34, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks much for the revision. How long is your break gonna be?Justaguy120 (talk) 19:20, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Until Monday. Oh, Jim, I won't have access to Wikipedia tomorrow, the duty is out of the office. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:22, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Well, that stinks. I'll miss you.Justaguy120 (talk) 19:25, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

I alwys miss everyone when I am off. I wonder how will I survive when I get into college :'( Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:28, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

When is that?Justaguy120 (talk) 19:32, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

They gave me a career this year but I will do the exams next year. If I get Sociology or Journalism, maybe I'll leave (not completely) in September 2014, I think there is wifi at University of Havana, so maybe I will contribute with my smartphone. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:35, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

You should definitely do that.Justaguy120 (talk) 19:46, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Adam Clayton

Miss Bono, I need to get back to work for a few hours but will look into this tonight. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 21:08, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks! :) Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 21:13, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

I forgot to ask a Q for you, Bono. What time to you get off work? I'm assuming you're off now, so Im looking for a resonse in the morning.Justaguy120 (talk) 22:37, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

I found one source in an Irish celebrity magazine called RSVP. I don't know how reliable it is. The story is called U2′s Adam Clayton to Marry During the Summer. It is dated May 23, 2013, identifies the woman as Brazilian model Mariana Teixeira, and says they have a four year old son together. In my opinion, it is pretty gossipy, and I would hesitate to add it to the article until a wedding is confirmed. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 15:15, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Justaguy120, I get off at 4:30pm my time. And Cullen³²⁸, I will ask at the Teahouse to se how reliable is the source, thanks! Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 11:57, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the son. Adam had his first son (that everybody knows as a first son, in 2010... but with a French Woman) Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 11:59, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Miss Bono, I think the Reliable sources noticeboard is a better place to ask. Welcome back, and I am glad you enjoyed your time off. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 15:00, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

It seems you have plenty of editors helping and it will be a very good article (All yours are) ツ Once it becomes an article, I promise to watch over it like I do all the U2 articles.

We're halfway through this year's penultimate round, and the competition is moving along well.

Both leaders are WikiCup veterans, and both have already scored over 600 points this month. If the round were to end today, Miyagawa (submissions), with 274 points, would be the lowest-scoring participant to make it through. This indicates that participants will need a score comparable to last year's (573, the highest ever) to qualify for the final. The high scores this year are a testament both to the quality of participants and to the increased focus on significant content (eligible for bonus points) in this year's competition. So far this round, both Sasata and Cwmhiraeth (submissions) have made up over half of their score through bonus points, with, for example, high importance FA koala earning Sasata a total of 440 points (from a multiplier of 4.4) and high-importance GA sea earning Cwmhiraeth a total of 216 points (from a multiplier of 7.2). Other articles on important topics submitted this round include a featured article on the Norman conquest of England by Ealdgyth (submissions), and good articles on Nobel laureate in literature Henryk Sienkiewicz, Nobel laureate in physics Hans Bethe, and the noted Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū. These articles are by Piotrus (submissions), Hawkeye7 (submissions) and Sturmvogel_66 respectively.

Drive by kitty

For you! Just saying hello :) I know you won't be at Wikimania this year, but next year you should submit a talk about WikiProject U2 (or running a music project, or something). It would be so cool to meet you :)

So I'll be thinking of you at the WikiWomen's Luncheon and when I listen to U2 on my iPod on the plane :)

Vertigo Tour

Good morning, Miss Bono,,

I was very busy with other activities yesterday, so had little time available for Wikipedia. I did read the article about the tour and have some opinions about improvements. I will try to do some work this evening. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 14:48, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

kids

re http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Miscellaneous&diff=prev&oldid=566720952

The birth mother is right if the kids are under the age of puberty.

I would arrange a scene of conflict between the husband and ex without the new girl where they agree not to meet. Then have the old wife meet the girlfriend by accident and become friends and have the girlfriend be at the ex wife's house when the husband brings the kids back from visitation not expecting the girlfriend to be at the ex-wifes. μηδείς (talk) 17:00, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

μηδείς, your idea is great, but forgot to mention something. The ex, is the ex of a rockstar, so the new girl knows the ex from TV, picts and all that stuff Also, the ex lives in another country, the rockstar visits the kids where they live. Is there any way to adapt your idea -which I think it is AWESOME- with the information I gave you. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 17:11, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Well, the agreeing not to meet part still works, you just have to think of some other arrangement (car accident) that brings them together, or make the new girlfriend a real good lawyer whom the ex has to hire to win a case. You can do this yourself. Think about it today and again just before you go to bed and you wil have an idea in the morning. You should also see if you can get a copy of the book "The Fountainhead". It has lots of good plot twists like this. μηδείς (talk) 18:33, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

I found stranger in a strange land and I started to read it in Spanish. I thought about a car accident (I asked a question about that at the reference desk- the one about a Dublin Hospital) when the rockstar and the ex were having an argument about meeting the kids... the new girl (who is pregnant by that time -another question I made at the ref) flies to where they had the accident. The guy has more damages than the ex. And there I have to make both women knowing each other in person. What do you think? Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 18:48, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

The problem is, I don't know all the back-story about these women, and you do. I would still have there be some other necessity to the women meeting. Perhaps the man doesn't even tell the new girlfriend there is an accident, but the ex looks for the best neck surgeon there is, and hires her to fly in from the US, and it turns out to be the new girlfriend. I recommend you finish Stranger before considering Fountainhead. The author of Fountainhead was not published in Russia until 1991, so you may find her books hard to obtain. The Spanish name is El Manantial. μηδείς (talk) 19:01, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

PS This is wrong: "And there I have to make both women knowing each other in person." In english you have to say "And there I have to make both women meet each other in person." Only after they "meet" do they "know" each other. (You can also say "get to know" instead of "meet" for conocer.) μηδείς (talk) 19:03, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Oh! my bad again... debí haber recordado que meet se utiliza para cuando las personas no se han conocido personalmente todavía. Tengo una biblioteca virtual en casa, tal vez encuentre El Manantial.

Regarding the back-story and the details (If I am boring you just tell me :)) The girl is a Sociology student at Stanford University. And she finds out about the accident when she turns the TV on and they are passing the news. So, she calls her bfriend's band mates and ask them for help to travel to Europe. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:12, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Me dices que encontraste El Manatial? Cuando si, hay que saber que el autor tuvo que sacar muchas paginas de la historia porquese publico durante la segunda guerra mudial, y las primeras 70 son aburriendos por eso. (El heroe tenia primera novia quien se saco de la novela enteramente.) Per de pagina 70 hasta 700 es muy entretenido. Por la misma mujer hay una otra novela que se llama la rebelion de atlas que es mucho mas entretenido que El Manantial, pero pensaba que no fuera disponible a ti donde vives. Cuando leas la primera capitula sin reir de voz alta te mando un cerdito vivo por avion. μηδείς (talk) 19:29, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

No encontré el Manantial, encontre Stranger In a Strange Land... dije que iba a buscar en la biblioteca digital a ver si lo encontraba, pero viendo lo que me cuentas, será muy difícil encontrarlo. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:25, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Como pensaba...es posible mandarte algo por correo que no se investigue?

I'm not sure, don't send anything just in case. The email address was lent by a friend and I don't want to cause a problem, unlessyou are going to send a cerdito. So, if it is something compromising, you better not send it :) Es demasiado cómico que no voy a poder dejar de reírme con el primer capítulo? Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:33, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
