October 2015

Hello, I'm Skyllfully. I wanted to let you know that your signature ("sig") design might cause problems for some readers. This is because it violates WP:SIGIMAGE. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines and policy on customising signatures. Thank you. —Skyllfully ^(talk | _contribs) 20:58, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I noticed that and changed it. Here is the new signature that is similar to the one I use at Wikia: ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 21:00, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, by the way, you don't need to sign everything you do on a talk page, especially when placing templates, for more info see WP:SIGNHERE.

P.S. This message doesn't need to stay here, it's totally fine if you remove it! —Skyllfully ^(talk | _contribs) 21:03, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you. I just a have a wuick question. I made a profile at the Teahouse yesterday, but don't see it now. Did it get removed? ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 21:07, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. You can find you profile at the bottom of the list here, or more specifically here, but after awhile, your profile will get kicked out of the list because of the amount of guests we have all the time. —Skyllfully ^(talk | _contribs) 21:12, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my. I don't know how I missed that. ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 21:15, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Patrolling and welcoming

A note that if you see something on a new page that you're unsure about, it's best to leave it unpatrolled and get a second or third opinion. If you're really unsure, you can direct an admin to it and see what they think. On welcoming new users, always be sure to actually look at their contribs, because some people are just out to vandalize. I've caught probably 10 to 15 vandals that way, and reverted their edits. White Arabian mare (Neigh) 01:04, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, ok. I will look at their contribs from now on. Thanks for the tip :) ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 01:05, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

I'm very happy that you have asked me to adopt you as a user, I remember when I first started out on Wikipedia I wasn't adopted but I knew at many points I really could use some help from another user who'd been around a little longer. I'd love to start off by asking you what are some of your interests, topic wise, some stuff you find interesting, it's a good starting place. - SantiLak (talk) 01:27, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well...my username kinda gives it away. I'm crazy about Hot Wheels, lol. But, I really don't have too many interests...I would like to be adopted because I am not extremely familiar with Wikipedia yet - just the basics and maybe a little further. Thanks for adopting me. ;) ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 02:29, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SantiLak:

@SantiLak: Are you still interested in adopting me? Thehøtwheelsguy99 | ^Talk?_Sign!! 21:08, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not wanting to poach or cause any issues, but should SantiLak no longer wish to/is not able to adopt you, I would be more than happy to step up

samtar ^{t} 19:31, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Samtar: Hmm...SantiLak has made 9 edits already today. I think SantiLak is busy and that might be the reason...I guess you can adopt me if you would like to then Samtar. Thanks, Thehøtwheelsguy99 | ^Talk?_Sign!! 19:40, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ya I don't think I will be able to, i'm really sorry I don't think I can balance everything else in my life plus regular WP stuff I do and 2 adoptees, but it's great that Samtar is willing to do that. Sorry again and if you just need some advice or something, feel free to ask anytime. Best of luck!! - SantiLak (talk) 20:08, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. By the way, I removed from your userpage that you are seeking to adopt users.

Thehøtwheelsguy99 | ^Talk?_Sign!! 20:10, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Thehotwheelsguy99: if you could pop over to the adoption page I set up for you, there's a couple of questions I'd like to ask if that's okay, just to get to know you

samtar ^{t} 07:48, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done I answered the question for you. Thehøtwheelsguy99 | ^Talk?_Sign!! 15:32, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Warning other editors

Hi Thehotwheelsguy99, thank you for all the great work you've been doing :)! Just a note, this warning, while completely okay and functional, may be better served using Twinkle's warning templates. Keep up the great work! samtar ^{t} 14:59, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I since have designed a new template that can be found at User:Thehotwheelsguy99/Warning. It is similar to the other ones people have been using. Do you think it looks good? ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 15:01, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No worries - as for your warning template I would recommend sticking to the more common, pre-existing templates such as the ones found at Wikipedia:Warnings. samtar ^{t} 15:10, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, thanks! I didn't even know that was there! ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 15:12, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure :) if you ever need any help, or are ever unsure of something, there are a lot of editors who are more than willing to guide you. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your time here. samtar ^{t} 15:21, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!! ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 16:31, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks,

MaisonAgrakal MaisonAgrakal (talk) 17:15, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome. :) ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 17:56, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

General note

I think the work you're doing here so far is great, but if you are not an admin you can't block people, so this is unhelpful: the user is still able to edit. Thanks anyway, --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 17:25, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok...um...What template would you like me to use? I am not really understanding. ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 17:55, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After warning them 4 times or as appropriate, report them to WP:AIV where an administrator will process the report and determine if a block is needed. ⁓ Hello 71 19:50, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Hello71: Thanks! ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 19:51, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't see your comment, otherwise I would have replied here sooner. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 21:29, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

CSD

on IPSF Members you wrote {{delete|Test page}}. this results in invalid grammar and is difficult for the administrators to manage. please use the CSD templates, e.g. Template:Db-g2. ⁓ Hello 71 19:49, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. I didn't know that template was there. ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 19:50, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

you can try again now; the creator has blanked the page, so g7 applies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hello71 (talk • contribs) 19:53, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 20:00, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Uh

are you a wiki mod or something? just wondering or if that doesn't exist what are you SafetySponge (talk) 20:11, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SafetySponge: Why do you ask? I am a normal user like you. ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 20:12, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a photo

Hi!

Thanks for your help, and for the welcome!

The page I just added is for a band. Do I need to add "(band)" after the name in the title? I noticed some bands have that and some don't!

Also, any recommendations for adding a photo?

Thank you!

SLOgirl14 (talk) 21:32, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SLOgirl14: Well, I am not familiar with bands...just reverting vandalism and welcoming new users.

I don't think You need to change the name now that you have started the article. What you can do is go to the page called Fialta (Band) and add in this: "#REDIRECT [[Fialta]]". This will automatically send people to the page Fialta when they go to Fialta (Band). Photo: I recommend adding a photo to articles. You can add it by putting [[File:EXAMPLE.jpg|TEXT YOU WANT]]. If you do this, your photo will look something like this:

. Thanks for asking me! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! ᵗʰᵉʰºᵗʷʰᵉᵉˡˢᵍᵘʸ₉₉ (ᵗᵃˡᵏ!) 22:01, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your signature

Hi Thehotwheelsguy99. I saw your new signature, and I'm afraid it runs afoul of the signature guidelines, specifically the length guideline. The guideline recommends keeping signatures short in both display and markup, and, well, yours is on 22 lines in the markup. Would you please shorten it? Howicus (Did I mess up?) 22:50, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Howicus: Thanks for the message. I was looking at my sig just a while ago actually. I put my signature into a template and put the template into my signature preference spot. It should just have the template...right? Instead it is a long line of code. I finally just got my signature how I want it and really would not like to change it at the moment...I don't know how to keep it and not have a long line of code. --Thehotwheelsguy99

I'm afraid transcluded templates aren't allowed in signatures, and substituting a template just makes all the code from the template appear on the page (and it says you shouldn't do that to avoid the other guidelines). You may not be able to do exactly what you want. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 22:59, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'm working on a new one...not sure if this will fit into the preference sig spot, but I will try. Here is the code: <code><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap" style="border: 1px solid #aaa; {{border-radius|0.2em}} {{box-shadow|0.1em|0.2em|0.2em|#ddd}} background-color: #f9f9f9; {{linear-gradient|top|#eee, #f9f9f9, #eee}} padding: 0.1em 0.3em; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.85em;">TEXT</kbd></code>, and this is what it will look like: TEXT. Do you think the 3-4 lines are too long still? --Thehotwheelsguy99

I'm not sure, though it's certainly better...if it will fit, I think it's good. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 23:32, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Great. I'll try it out. Thehøtwheelsguy99^Talk?_Sign!! 00:51, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Doesn't work. :( Thehøtwheelsguy99^Talk?_Sign!! 00:58, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Sig added. Thehøtwheelsguy99 | ^Talk?_Sign!! 17:22, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
