Cross-space redirects

Can I convince you to put {{db|Created by mistake}} on the wiki-voter shortcut? If I nominate this on RfD it will explode. A cross-namespace redirect to something in userspace is madness. - brenneman ^{L} 00:23, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just copied a the vandalproof thing like WP:VPRF, so that has to be deleted too if WP:WKV is. I think WP: namespace can be redirected anywhere, because you could just redirect it to Wikipedia:Wikivoter and redirect that to userspace which would cause double redirects just for the purpose of not redirecting WP: to userspace. GeorgeMoney (talk) 00:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, first let us disabuse ourselves of the notion that "since Foo exists we canot delete bar." That's simply not true. Secondly, the idea that a double redirect would somehow make it "ok" appears to misunderstand both the problems with double redirects and cross namespace redirects. I take this to mean that you're not going to ask for it to be deleted, then? - brenneman ^{L} 00:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And it's a bit disingenuous to say that you "just copied" the other shortcut when you made that one as well. - brenneman ^{L} 00:33, 22 August 2006

Well, I might have created WP:VPRF but I copied WP:VandalProof. I Really don't think it should be deleted so if you really wanted it deleted you could take it to rfd and see what many people think. GeorgeMoney (talk) 00:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ook. Sorry to have sunk the boot in there, than, my mistake about the creation. I may have taken double my dosage of cranky this morning by accident, and there was no reason to give you a serve over this. I have nominated all three for deletion, though, and if I'm nasty again just give me a slap. - brenneman ^{L} 00:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox Alignment

Hi!

Where refered this question to you and thought that you would more knowledgeable at this.

I was just wondering (because you're the first person I thought of that would know this), Is it possible to align a userbox at the top of the page in the centre? I can do it Left and Right, but not Centre. Thanx!

Tyson Moore 22:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again.

Yes, that worked, and, is it also possible to make them all lign up. On my redesign (attempt) there are big :blank spaces to the left and right of the table you made. Or, should I use something like Nvu and make 3 tables and just type all the :{{subst: userboxname}} into the tables as text, then make that my page on wikipedia? I think that might be easier...

Thanks Tyson Moore 23:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

css

Hi George! I am asking you this question because I have been referred to you by Kylu. You have a very big and impressive css page that can do a lot of cool stuff. I just want to know, how do I make it all work? Do I have to make my own css page? Thank you for your time.--Chili14 23:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Update

I have created my own css page. The problem is, I can't get it to actually do what it says, i.e. I put the "remove logout button" stuff and it is still there. I know how to put it all there, it's just not working.--Chili14 00:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

help

Thanks for the offer to help a confused newbie. I recently uploaded an image and realized it's going to be an orphan. I want to remove it, but wasn't able to figure out how, other than putting it on the "to be deleted list". Is there a way to delete it myself since I (stupidly) put it up? Thanks in advance Aa168 23:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)aa168[reply]

(Thanks)

Thanks for the helpdesk help w/ the text-aligning stuff. Bill Oaf 01:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for your help on bolded links. :) Exteray ^T ^.C 01:21, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate it

I appreciate your quick answer to my question. If I want to make a request to see if a user is a proxy for one who has previously been banned from certain pages, how would I do that? regards DPeterson^talk 02:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boy you are quick!!! Thanks so much. regards. DPeterson^talk 02:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, it's not working with hexadecimals for some reason. Centurion 5 02:06, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, i'll try that. I'm trying to change the text colors in the template i'm incubating on my user page. Each team per each color in the state box below it. Also, how do you change the signatures? That looks interesting. Centurion 5 02:15, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Still not working. Mind taking a look see or have any other links I could follow? Thanks for helping, this is frustrating. Centurion 5 02:23, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I got it! It was the CSS class up there at the top. I'm not very good at CSS, but at least I can see them I guess. Do you know how to make new CSSes on Wikipedia? Centurion 5 02:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Admins? How are they selected? That sounds interesting. Can I be one, or, can you help me be one? Centurion 5 02:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and what do you think of my color scheme? Centurion 5 03:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Admins

Cool, I guess i'll come back in three months and ask you if i'm ready then :-) Centurion 5 03:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiThanks

File:AviXyrael.gif

I'd like to thank you GeorgeMoney for either supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship (I've broken the one thousand sysop barrier!); I'm thanking you for getting involved, and for this I am very grateful. I hope to be able to serve Wikipedia more effectively with my new tools and that we can continue to build our free encyclopedia, for knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty. Please do feel free to get in touch if you feel you can improve me in any way; I will be glad to listen to all comments. Again, thanks 8) —Xyra e l / 11:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings

Hi there.I don't really know what to say. It's hard for me and I assume it must be complicated for all the people in my situation to try a new language out. You see, I've been studying English language since 1995 but, for some reason, I still keep my doubts on the subject. I joined Wikipedia on July 26, 2006 —the Spanish version — and as for a sudden I became deeply acquainted with the English one. I cannot trust myself to do it better, but I would like to; believe me when I say that is my priority. Up to now I've written an average of 30 articles in the Spanish Wikipedia, most of which are based on English and American literature authors and movements. My best ones for so far are es:Frederick Douglass and es:William Shakespeare. On the same way I wrote one article for this wikipedia, originally a translation from Spanish into English. I also added further information to a geography stub. My intention is to help and take part of this wonderful experience, but to do that I may need a hand. Can we work together? Do you want to keep in touch with me? I'm on the web almost all the time. If I'm not here I'm there, always fooling around. Thanks for reading my terrible message. God save me, lol. --Gustavo86 20:24, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's always nice to know that. Thanks a lot in advance.--Gustavo86 21:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New messages

Hey, could you leave me a message on my talk page? I need the "new messages" bar for testing. Prodego ^talk 22:57, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I know, but in this case I actually needed the real one (I am tring to figure out how to change the wording of the box). Thanks, Prodego ^talk 23:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll try it! (One more new message please). Prodego ^talk 23:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, I put it in the css by mistake! I could use another please. Thanks, Prodego ^talk 23:18, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, that was a mistake :-P. It didn't work in the js either though. I asked the expert who made my monobook. He/she might know. Thanks for your help, Prodego ^talk 23:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Template

I'm having troubles with this Template:Infobox DCAU character I created. It's creating about 4 blank spaces between the section header and the text and the infobox. Example: Black Manta#Other media#Justice League--The Judge 22:57, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, thanks!! you're the man! hahahah. I worked with that for about 10 hours, I could totally use a break. The hystory section might help you, the infobox started doing that at some point when I was editing it. I created it using the Character template, ading some elements of the superherobox.--The Judge 01:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Template page looks great. It's nice to see it so neat now! It still works a little weird on the articles featuring it (almost at the bottom of the Green Arrow, Supergirl, Black Manta and Joker articles, for example), making space between the section header and the first paragraph and it. But it's not so bad now. How did you fixed it, anyways?--The Judge 01:22, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

		The da Vinci Barnstar
		Great work! You have no idea of how much I'd wish to know exactly how that kind of syntax works. --The Judge 01:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I'm fine, just a bit depressed.... You? Øřêōş 00:23, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion

Do you still want it doing? It's your userspace so I can just do it straight off if you want. —Xyrael / 09:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please. I just want to undelete those pages so I can merge them into my talk archives and then have them deleted again. If you can that would be great! GeorgeMoney (talk) 15:39, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Annoying guy

I've got this annoying guy that is edit warring on me without further explanations than one small comment in the edit summary that doesn't quote any wikipedia guideline (actually I made the changes to fit the guidelines). He says there can't be 2 infoboxes in an article, but the info in it is 100% different and doesn't actualli repeat anything.

He already broke the 3RR, and not wishing to risk being blocked too, I won't rv him a third time.

The name of the guy is CovenantD and he is really annoying the capital H out of me, by making the article less informative, specally since my the nature of his edits are totally irespectful and easy to do, while I had to do a lot of researching and sourcing.

This is the confict, and the article in question is Clock King.

Thanks for your time, I hate to bother you like that.--The Judge 04:59, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He rv your edit :S, but don't worry fortunatelly/unfortunatelly that qualigies that user to a report on the Admins notice board. The fact that there could be people like that really puts me down. Like, what are his motifs? I noticed he seems to be interested in comics, but he seems to be making sure those articles are as less informative ans surced as posible... Why is he bothering, why does he take the time? I mean, I'm sure he can reseach and add facts to an article he likes better instead of choping off the ones he doesn't like. To me it's really hard to understand how such mentality exists.--The Judge 01:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

helpme tag:

yes, i used the helpme tag. i would like some help with merging articles and adding infoboxes. if you can help please leave a message on YaddaYaddaBlahBlahBlah's talk page! thank you!
