RE:Are you implying that I am a sockpuppet?No, I am not. At the time I tagged your comments with {{spa}}, your only 3 edits were to that AfD. It is very unusual that a user's first edit be to an AfD, and it is certainly strange that you have such knowledge of policy being a new user. Please note that the use of {{spa}} is common practice, and in no way is meant to imply that you are a sockpuppet, at least the way I used it. I regret nothing, and I am not willing to apologize, for I did nothing wrong. I do apologize, though, if I am sounding bity, but your editing pattern is unusual, to say the least. Also, please stop saying "warn editor" on every AfD you participate, as we all are humans and make mistakes. It is not common practice to yell and warn new users like you think they should. Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 02:11, 27 July 2007 (UTC) RE:How would I customize my username like you?I don't understand. --Boricuaeddie 02:11, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

When you've picked one, be sure to copy the code (how it looks in editing mode) and paste it to your preferences. Please note that the Luftan part links to your talk page, but doesn't link anywhere here because we are in your talk page. Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 16:37, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Regarding edits to Urban Dictionary
HiHi, i noticed above that you have done the colours for someones name for them.

Have copied the code above to have a go at i hope this is ok. Thanks Delighted eyes 15:11, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Re: Userpage design requestHi Jim! A pleasant surprise. I would simply love to design your userpage, but as I keep saying - I'm only good at stealing page designs. If you like the layered page design which is so Phaedrielish, then I think I could definitely help you out. Please let me know what colour combination you'd prefer, etc. And if there's any more information that you'd like to put up on your userpage, do lemme know. aJCfreak yAk 07:21, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Nehrams2020 17:06, 7 August 2007 (UTC) RE:One quick questionI really don't know. You may want to ask an admin. You haven't been blocked from editing Wikipedia; Your block log is clear. Maybe it's a bug? --Boricuaeddie 19:51, 9 August 2007 (UTC) The article is not about the campaign of a candidate but his views on issues. This has its own category. The page should not be merged because it would clutter up the Michael Bloomberg page. The information is sourced and encyclopedic it should not be deleted or merged but have its own article. I ask you to please reconsider your vote per Savidan.--Southern Texas 19:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC) Hi, I think the consensus in this discussion is that a merge is ok, and since there was a merge, we have to keep the article history for a GFDL. Since you're the only person arguing delete, and your delete indicated acceptance of a merge, I think it can be closed, but just to be sure, if you don't disagree with closing early, please let me know. If you do agree, then you can note it on the discussion page.

Cbrown1023 talk 21:11, 22 February 2008 (UTC) Obama in Somali garbI don't think the "controversy" about Obama in the Somali garb is notable enough for it to have an article of it's own, or for it to be included in the main Barack Obama article. On the other hand, it is definitely notable enough to be included in the Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008 article. --Bobblehead (rants) 03:00, 27 February 2008 (UTC) Image:25campaign-obama250.jpg listed for deletionAn image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:25campaign-obama250.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

I am new to wiki so i hope I'm typing this in the right spot! I'm reaching out to other users for help. As I understand it, I need to track down an established wiki editor to help me rid the first article i've created ("Stone and Stone")of the ugly box that was posted on top "This article has multiple issues....". I know exactly how these complaints came about. In my ignorance on how wiki works, I gave myself the same nickname as the subject I was writing on and then a whole drama ensued, as it was assumed that I was my subject and that I was writing an autobiography! In truth, I am a huge comedy fan and biographer and was dipping my toes for the first time in wikipedia waters! Any help or solutions you could provide me when you get the chance would be greatly appreciated! This poor little article certainly doesn't deserve such an ugly heading box because of my wiki-ignorance! Thank you in advance for your time! Comedybiographer (talk) 10:54, 24 February 2011 (UTC) |
