October 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Apple. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:35, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. The accidental blanking caused the infobox in the upper right of the article to stop working, but the entry has been reversed, so the infobox displays again. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:58, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Text

The text is supposed to appear differently if preceded by a space, yes, if that's what you mean. Everyking (talk) 23:19, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Your talk page message to KoS

Wikipedia runs on UTC time. So no matter what time zone you're in: Your edits and talk posts will be recorded as UTC. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Scarian ^{Call me Pat!} 00:17, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scarian basically answered your question. You can set Wikipedia's time to your local time, but I'm not aware of any way to set the gadget. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :)} 21:42, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help!!!

{{helpme}}

I would like to join thw Wikiproject awards, but I do not know how to make a custom barnstar. I have waited nearly 2 hours and they have not replyed. Please! ANYONE! ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!! I WILL GIVE YOU A COOKIE IF YOU DO! Back to the MacMan32 22:55, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

You don't have to design a barnstar to join that Wikiproject (and you don't need to entice people to reply to you with cookies, either :P). If you do want to create a custom barnstar, GIMP or Inkscape may help. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :)} 23:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, to create a barnstar, you first use a software to create one. If you're thinking of a simple one, Paint will do, but I'll suggest Fireworks, which I use. For example, if you are creating a Tissue Paper barnstar, you may want to photograph a toilet roll and put the original barnstar on it. Next, you bring your idea to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikipedia Awards to discuss. Once people agree that your barnstar is good, you can put the barnstar in the list of Barnstars. In the tissue paper's case, you may want to put it in the Topical Barnstars. Happy barnstar-creating! Kayau (talk) 14:18, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Userboxes

Your userbox looks nice. A few tips:

I get almost all of my icons from here. They go very nicely inside userboxes.
You can find all of the different web colors here.
If you would like to make a userbox with two ID's, use the Userbox-2 template.
If you would like to include variables such as

{{yourusbk|puppies}} = This user loves puppies.

Do:

This user loves {{{1}}}

If you would like to make more customized userboxes, you can make a userbox without using the userbox template at all. You can do this by using a div or a th html tags.
Wikitext is very easy to learn and can be just as powerful as html. I was able to make a (almost) random picture generator with wikitext. Here is a good tutorial/cheat-sheet for learning wikitext.
To make rounded corners use:

background-color:<your background color>;height:<height>px; width:<width>px;-moz-border-radius: 5em; -webkit-border-radius: 
5em: left; border:solid <border color> 1px; margin: 1px;

as your div style

Thank you and I hope I was helpful. -- CFeyecare ^Talk! 19:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox text

You can not see the text because the font color was set the same as the background color. "info-fc" is the info font color. I fixed it for you. -- CFeyecare ^Talk! 02:48, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rounded Corners

When using rounded corners it is best to build the userbox from 'source' rather than using templates.

<table>

<th valign=top style="background-color:FloralWhite;height:5px;width:50px;-moz-border-radius: 5em; -webkit-border-radius: 5em: left; 
border:solid Linen 1px; margin: 1px;">
 
[[Image:Synaptic bw.png|40px|Synaptic PKG manager]]  
 
</th>

<th valign=top style="background-color:FloralWhite;height:10px;width:185px;-moz-border-radius: 5em; -webkit-border-radius: 5em: left;
border:solid Linen 1px; margin: 1px;">

<font style="font-size: 8pt" size="1" face="Arial" position="top"> This user uses<br> [[Synaptic package manager]].</font> 

</th>
</table>

Produces:

	This user uses Synaptic package manager.

Don't click here..-- CFeyecare ^Talk! 17:17, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that, that was the only wikitext article. Your userboxes are nice. -- CFeyecare ^Talk! 17:28, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The th tag causes it to be a box however with colored rounded corners inside of the box. This way it does not get messed up inside a boxbox* template. Please sign your posts. Thanks. -- CFeyecare ^Talk! 19:30, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Water Molecule1.png

I've reverted your addition of Image:Water Molecule1.png to Water, because that image is frankly not an accurate molecular model of water. First of all, the usual convention for such models is to color oxygen atoms red and hydrogen white: your model has two red spheres and one white one. Even ignoring the color issue (which is, after all, just a matter of convention), however, your model also renders all the atoms with equal radius: for an image that appears to be a space-filling model, this is highly misleading, since the actual atomic radius of oxygen is almost two and a half times that of hydrogen. You might want to correct your image, but frankly, there's not much point: we already have several perfectly good molecular models of water, such as Image:Water molecule 3D.svg. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 14:30, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your note

I've blocked the user for 48 hours. Normally I wouldn't block after a single instance of vandalism, but in this case, the user was a repeat vandal to your userpage, and thus, a block was justified. Someone else reverted the vandalism.

However, regarding rollback rights, I'm afraid I have to decline that request for now. Currently, you only have a few edits to articles, and little to no vandal-reverting. I kindly suggest that you read up on vandalism, and practice reverting vandalism using the undo tool for some time. Come back to me or request rollback here in a week or two when you've practiced. Best wishes. Acalamari 17:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest look into a few anti-vandalism tools. There is a category that contain a few anti-vandalism tools (Wikipedia counter-vandalism tools). I recommend WikiGuard.-- CFeyecare ^Talk! 23:36, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Vandalism?

Hi, can you tell me what you're referring to when you warned me for vandalism? Maxis ftw (talk) 00:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're not alone. This user gave me a fraudulent warning also. See User talk:IRP#WARN. -- IRP ☎ 00:11, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, both of you, I am sorry. I will try not to do it again. Back to Mac32 00:27, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the apology. -- IRP ☎ 00:33, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism Warning.

Hi. I received a vandalism warning from you a little while ago. May I see that diff. If I made a rollback mistake, I'd like to know, and if not, I'd like an explanation for the warning.

Thanks, T^heDJA^tC^lubR^ock :-) ^(T/C) 01:21, 6 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Sorry. A anti-vandalism program on my computer crashed. It seems it is mal functioning. Let me turn it off.

Alright :D T^heDJA^tC^lubR^ock :-) ^(T/C) 01:28, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry

I am sorry for recommending that program to you. I did not realize that it would go haywire. It works fine for me. The first time I used WikiGuard, I got a little confused on the history. With the history, the old version is on the left and the edited one is on the right. Rather than warning the user, mark the edit as negative, for now. -- CFeyecare ^Talk! 02:06, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox Varibles/2

Hello, CFeyecare. I would like to know if you can tell me some advanced (not too technical) varibles for userboxes. For example, can you tell me how to use code to make a userbox that shows the time in UTC -7:00 exactly? Oh, nothing personal, but what time offset are you from UTC time? Thank you,

Back to Mac32 20:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I have been working on a few articles on Wikibooks. I think you want the varible {{LOCALTIME}} or {{CURRENTTIME}}. My local time is the same as New York's (eastern standard time). meta:Help:Variable#Varying_with_time. -- CFeyecare ^Talk! 04:00, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Resistor, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Inverting the sense of a scientific law by adding one character is not cool! So you get this template. Dicklyon (talk) 02:15, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
