Answer

If an answer is what you seek, at my Babel Boxes you should take a peek.  ~Steptrip 00:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Are you referring to my real name? (And I do support gender-neutral language, if I do not know the gender of whom I am talking about.)  ~Steptrip 00:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Did you look at these Babel boxes.  ~Steptrip 00:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Now I have heard of some odd coincidences, but this is just outright extremely unlikely and equally abnormal. Do you like any of Edgar Allan Poe's poems?  ~Steptrip 01:03, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I've never read that poem, but I go on Wikisource every now and again, so I will read it soon.  ~Steptrip 01:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree, as I finished reading it approx. 5 min. ago :D by the way, you misspelled "tildes" at the top of your talk page, and does Smartie960 want to know where I got my Bouncing wiki logo?  ~Steptrip 01:27, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree about my headings being cliche, I'll have to try to make headers more relevant to the message (or at least not use "A Medley of Comments" or "A Medley of responses" and I just updated my sig, tell me if you like it as I'm close to taking a poll on how many people like my sigs :-D ).  ~Steptrip 01:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I see that you clicked my "Do not click here" button, but no, you are not in any kind of trouble (by the way I just noticed that my sigs were acting up, and I am happy to say that I fixed the porblem:D.  ~Steptrip 02:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Sign, Please!

Please sign my book. ♥Smartie960♥Smartie-Pants-So Smart 21:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Autograph Book

It looks okay. Check it out yourself, if you are talking about my autograph book. °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 22:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch! I will give you credit for that! °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 22:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Nice Colors! I added that site to my favs. There is like a bunch of those colors! °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 22:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Userboxes

Go to Wikipedia:Userboxes. It teaches you to make a userbox on there. I apologize that I haven't been online recently -- I've been sick. I've only logged on for a second to check my messages ;) --Theunicyclegirl 23:26, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Anna Foxlover

I can't believe that she (or he) got blocked because of asking too many users to sign her autograph book (myself being one of them), and I really can't believe that Alphachimp would delete her autographs. I believe that everyone should take a look at the quote on this page (unless you have the same quote on your Autograph page).

P.S. Can you sign my autograph book (it's the tilde in my sig)?  ~Steptrip 01:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Where do you see that your page was nominated for deletion? And I agree about the multi-page edits being spam. Hopefully there will be  ~Steptrip 01:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Strike that last comment, I see it. You can discuss this on the nominator's talk page, the actual deletion nomination itself, or, obviously, omit the parts of the page that do not confirm with WP:MYSPACE (although I do not see how your userpage could be nominated on those grounds, as you include some of your Wikipedia-related activities, and the whole thing was based on the autograph book fiasco and an edit count). I hope this consolation helps. Hopefully there will be some -Steptrip 01:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Userpages nominated for deletion

I have nominated many of your user pages for deletion as they seem to run afoul of WP:NOT#MYSPACE. You may comment on the matter at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Cremepuff222. —dgies^t_c 01:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I wish I'd brought this up with you earlier, Cremepuff222. I too have noticed that you have used the account mainly for user talk page activities. Also, please note that I cannot participate in the MfD you told me about, due to WP:CANVASS. Please be prepared that most of the pages may end up being deleted. If you promise to start contributing to the project (building an encyclopedia), maybe you can save your user page. Xiner (talk, email) 01:54, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Under the special circumstances here, Xiner, I think your participation would be in order and would in fact be quite helpful. You can certainly comment on the situation, even if you don't cast a !vote. Newyorkbrad 01:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

• Why did you just nominate my user page for deletion? I'm pretty sure that I haven't included too much personal information about myself, and it's surely quite unlike myspace. The only thing that I think could be considered social networking is the "About Me" section, but otherwise nothing is overly social. The "Expertise" section is merely to find users who need help with that specific subject, and I can only think of a few people that don't have a "Userbox" or "Awards" section. The user page service is merely to help other users that don't have Wiki-markup skills. Could you please tell me your reasoning? Thank you. -Cremepuff222 01:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

These are all similar to things we generally allow in userspace, but the creation and improvement of them seems to be the only reason you are a member of the project. For a significant contributer to the project, I would not have made the nom, but it seems all you're here for is free web hosting. —dgies^t_c 02:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

If I start contributing to the encylcopedia, will I be alright? I recently started a page for my school, and have begun to edit it quite extensively. -Cremepuff222 02:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

The thing is, all this time you could have been helping the project, and instead you were just working on your homepage. To make a bunch of mainspace edits right away is kind of missing the point. Don't despair. It's possible people will decide to let it slide, and if they don't you can still ask an admin to retrieve a deleted version for you to put it back up on one of the many sites that provide wiki hosting. —dgies^t_c 02:21, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I think the concern that has been expressed is not so much your userpage itself, as all the subpages. See the deletion nomination that is linked to above, and the people's comments on it. This is actually all being said in the spirit of getting you more involved in the article editing other work which are what the project is all about. Newyorkbrad 02:23, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Cremepuff222, please read the advice given you assuming good faith. Also, another way to stay with the project without contributing to articles would be to become a developer. Xiner (talk, email) 02:41, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words. I went to the library for the first time in a long while this week, and took out a book on Manchukuo. That article seriously needs citations, and guess what, a good book on any topic would be a great help to the project. You can take out a book on Polar Bear, and find lots of stuff to write about. That's one idea. I'll let you think it over at leisure. Xiner (talk, email) 02:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

You may not understand, but you have about 46 discovered subpages. I know of no other editor who has that many - & they are from someone who has contributed so little to the actual article writing process of Wikipedia. To put it simply, you have not earned the right to have that many subpages. Even if you did start editing articles, the number of subpages you have would undoubtedly need to come down anyway. You can easily compress them - your autograph book can be included on your talk page - user boxes can also be included on your user page or on a single subpage. There are many options, but you simply have too many subpages... Spawn Man 03:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Userboxes

Oh! I understand now. I don't know how to make those. You'd have to ask someone who had more experience with userboxes than I. --Theunicyclegirl 18:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Favourite colour puzzle

Is it black?? ^{Rocket71048576}∞_Talk 21:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Heh, mine's black. But I think it's blue (why? Don't know). Your user page would lead us to believe it's either green or black, but that would be too obvious. Unless that's part of your strategy.... // DecaimientoPoético 21:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Templates (Re from: User talk:Xiner#Templates

Hi,

just use this sintax:

{{what do you want to include}}

Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI - 22:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't think I've understood what you meant :-( Do you want to put all the userboxes on one page and then transclude from it the single userbox? (Not possible) Well... no, probably you didn't meant even this... Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI - 22:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Unless you want to became mad, yes. If the userboxes don't take arguments, you can create a single userbox, which, with an #if statement, decide what text you want to display from the argument that you pass to it. Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI - 22:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome ;-) Happy editing, Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI - 22:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

RE:COOL!!

It really didn't take that long, (btw, could you sign my autograph book, the link is the tilde in my signature, and, could you tell me what you think of my new sig). -Steptrip 00:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

H2G2

I've read many of the writing of DNA. Now that'd be something worthy of adding to Wikipedia, if it's not there already. Why you ask? Xiner (talk, email) 00:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, glad you liked it. Yeah, discussions there can get monotonous sometimes, and it was too good an opportunity to pass up. Besides which, I wonder if the creator of the category had H2G2 in mind, too. Xiner (talk, email) 00:32, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:TW is it!

Hello, DennyColt! I saw that message you posted on that IP page about Ford. I've been looking for a good vandal warning, so do you think you could show me the one that you use? Thanks!! -Cremepuff222 00:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

hi! It's WP:TW, check out my monobook.js file's code for how I'm using it currently... the monobook has a few tools, that I cribbed and took from other's pages after I saw what they were using. TW--it's an awesome tool. I usually do that, and the tools provided by the script's amazing author, and run it vs. recent changes. The messages are just the template ones that are standard, but TW has a simple way to spread them out in the 1-2-3-4th warning formatting... - Denny 00:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

RE:Script issues

Can you please direct me to where you got the script that you deleted? (btw, you may want to check this out and check out my comment at the bottom of that page. -Steptrip 01:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Strike that last comment, all the script is is TWINKLE with some added features. I, myself have twinkle in my monobook.js file, and the sigContract script works fine. You can copy the last 3 lines of code from here and add it to your monobook.js file. -Steptrip 01:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

True, the "Cheers and good day" line is not good in heated debates, like that one. -Steptrip 01:23, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

What is ironic :-P -Steptrip 01:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, I can be so blond acting sometimes. -Steptrip 01:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Script Solution

Try copying and pasting the following code into your monobook.js precisely:

importScript('User:AzaToth/morebits.js');
importScript('User:AzaToth/twinklefluff.js');
importScript('Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Add LI menu');
importStylesheet('Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Add LI menu/css');
importScript('User:AzaToth/twinklewarn.js');
importScript('User:AzaToth/twinklearv.js');
importScript('User:AzaToth/twinklespeedy.js');
importScript('User:AzaToth/twinklediff.js');

Please tell me if this works. -Steptrip 01:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

RE:

Don't add all of my monobook.js, that is set up for my needs and will most likely displease you. Delete everything EXCEPT the AzaToth Scripts and the sigContract scripts from that file (if some of my scripts suit you, you can keep them). -Steptrip 01:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Why didn't I think of this before, copy and paste all of your monobook.js to my sandbox, which is located here, that way I can see what's wrong and hopefully fix it. -Steptrip 01:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Eureka (I hope)

Delete everything from your monobook.js file up to the TWINKLE scripts. then add the code from here immediately AFTER the TWINKLE Scripts (include one line empty of text between the TWINKLE scripts and the code I've fixed). I've also included a script that fixes the problem with lowercase letter titles in the article namespace. -Steptrip 02:03, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

It's supposed to look sloppy, have you purged your browser's cache (this will make the scripts function) ? -Steptrip 02:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Were you just worried about it's appearance? -Steptrip 02:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Glad that I could be of any assistance.  ~Steptrip 02:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

OOPS!

Sorry about that. By the way how did you get that really cool bar at the top? Computernurd22 (talk) 02:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Why yes it is! Computernurd22 (talk) 02:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, maybe not. I meant the bar at the top of your talk page and your userpage. Also, what is that message that says your userpage should be deleted. Computernurd22 (talk) 02:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

No, no, no. The thing at the top of your pages that links everything. *And what is that message that says your userpage should be deleted.* Computernurd22 (talk) 02:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, thanks. Computernurd22 (talk) 02:48, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Why? Computernurd22 (talk) 02:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm online

I will be online for much of today because I'm at home in bed. xP If you are online, post a message on my talk page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Theunicyclegirl (talk • contribs) 13:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

The MfD

Since you seem to have curbed the worst excesses of your subpages, I have withdrawn part of the MfD listing Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Cremepuff222. The only things still on the chopping clock are:

• User:Cremepuff222/Autograph Book (and related)- Has been widely spammed on talk pages
• User:Cremepuff222/Gag - Disruptive
• User:Cremepuff222/Signature - Transcluded onto talk pages, which is forbidden by WP:SIG#Transclusion_of_templates.

I hope this experience hasn't been too traumatizing for you. I think you will come out of this a better editor and I will try to be more diplomatic in the future. Anyway, to make up for it, I leave you this:

The Civility Award For keeping your cool while facing a MfD on something you invested a lot of effort in. —dgiestc 16:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I second Dgies's gracious comment. You've made big strides since the last editor conflict you were involved in, Cremepuff222, but you kept your WP:COOL. Remember that and it'll serve you well in the future. Btw, I forgot to mention that yet another way of contributing to Wikipedia is by uploading images. Free images should be uploaded to the Commons, so that any Wikipedia project, including en.wiki, can use the image. Cheers. Xiner (talk, email) 03:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Cremepuff

A lot of the stuff you've been writing is on the wrong pages. Take the Primary page for examle. Why did you write information about the Middle School on it? Oh, the ones you were talking about was me fixing "article" mis-spelled three times. Also, check out my edits to the Primary! Oh, and, by the way, there isn't a Luton, Iowa page. Even look. Its a red link. We have to fix that. Phew! Chiefsfan364 (talk) 23:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

RE:username change

I was seriously considering doing that, but I removed my request from WP:CHU and from WP:CHU/U. By the way, do you know if Chiefsfan364 is in the UTC-6 time zone (say yes if you read this message at about 6:20 – 6:25) and do you know why Chiefsfan364 hasn't been online regularly?  ~Steptrip 23:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for your support in my my recent RfA in which I withdrew because the oppose votes were almost equalling the supporters. I then decided to leave my account (Tellyaddict) and start fresh under a new username, however I quickly decided to reconsider after another user persuaded me not to leave the account - I am now glad I did reconsider because leaving that account and creating a new one was too hasty so I've decided to improve rather than starting again! I hope we can remain civil and that there were no negative feelings caused. Again, thanks for your support even though I withdrew it, your vote is much appreciated! Regards - Tellyaddict (Talk) 19:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Thanks for asking! I'm feeling a little better. And thanks for the compliment. I got the idea from your userpage actually. ;) How are things with you? --User:Theunicyclegirl 00:21, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
