Some things I'd like to know are: How should my User page look? What color should my signature be? Colors are on my user page. What kind of WikiProjects do you think are best?

Re: Thanks!

No problem, however don't get too distracted with the signatures and userpage. Wikipedia is not MySpace, it's a project to write a free content ensyclopedia. If you spend most of your time pimping up your userpage, flashing a colorful signature and talking about your signature you may find that others will not take you very seriously. The best way to get some "respect" around here is to actualy help improve the encyclopedia, even if it's just fixing typos and punctuation. Maybe consider joining a WikiProject in an area you are interested in or helping out removing vandalism. --Sherool (talk) 00:48, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Userpage Design

Your sig looks fine, however, if you want to change the font: Open Microsoft Word (or any equivlalent program) and choose a font that you like from the drop-down menu. To change the color, just pick a color that you like from here. As for the userpage design, it's a bit complicated to tell you on your talk page. (If you want, you can copy the source code for the page from here.) ~Step trip 21:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An Automated Message from HagermanBot

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 22:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion is that all sigs should be dull, boring blue links. But I guess the pink is better. John Reaves (talk)

RE:

In order:

You need to have either Adobe Photoshop or Digital Image Pro to create the name (that is, if you want all the glamor and glitz that I have).
I added the wikiball because I saw the image somewhere, I liked it, and I linked it to here (yes, that was the best reason that I could think of).

Cheers, ~Step trip 22:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:thanks

For what, informing you on how to make a user logo? (I really don't know, I'm not intending to be sarcastic.) ~Step trip 23:59, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Autograph Book

To create a book, you'll have to create a subpage. You can do this by adding a backslash and the page's name at the end of your userpage's URL address. So, your autograph book would be at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Smartie960/Autograph Book. For more information on subpages, check out Wikipedia:Subpages. Hope that helps! Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 22:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Just a tip, you probably shouldn't use a picture as your signature, as this can be confusing and the message-receiver won't be able to tell who it's from. Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 22:32, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you talking about that bouncing thing on Steptrip's talk page? Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 23:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You'll have to ask Steptrip, though I don't think that he is on right now... Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 23:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Me

Did you know that I have a sister that is User:ChocolateLover96? You can visit her. ♥Smartie960♥Smartie-Pants 23:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bouncywikilogo.gif

To add the bouncing wikiball, you can either:

Copy and paste the code from here or
Add <div style="position:fixed; left: 4px; top: 450px>{{click|image=Bouncywikilogo.gif|link=INSERTYOURLINKHERE|width=150px|height=150px}}</div>

You will most likely have to adjust the "left" and "top" components (if you have no idea of how to do the second one, just use #1 ;-D). Cheers and good day, ~Step trip 01:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please contribute to this encyclopedia

Smartie, you have yet to contribute any more than 3 edits to the encyclopedia, yet you've been spamming talk pages to contribute to your signature book. Consider this a kind warning to start contributing to mainspace. It's important to note that Wikipedia is not Myspace. If you'd like some suggestions on articles to edit, I'd be happy to give you some guidance. alphachimp 23:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your talk page messages have been reverted. I understand that this is probably quite frustrating, and you are welcome to contact me with any comments or concerns. alphachimp 00:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, consider this 24 hour block for spamming a stern warning. --Cyde Weys 00:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Man! °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 00:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey be careful with spaming and that stuff, you could get blocked. However I'll sign your book, and if you want sth to do on this encyclopedia, improve SouthAmerican articles, they're such a mess so anybody could help. Cheers --– Emperor Walter Humala · ^{( shout! · sign? )} 00:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Signature

How does my new signature look? Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 01:44, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just used different shades of green. I decided that it was too long, though, so I changed it to my old one. (Just edit this section, you can't miss it! :) ) --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 22:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Universal Autographs

Hi! I added your name to universal autographs because you told me to. I thought I just had better let you know. Captain panda In vino veritas 00:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tips on userboxes

What do you want to know about userboxes? Captain panda In vino veritas 00:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to try this link. In vino veritas is a Latin phrase translating to mean "in wine, truth." Captain panda In vino veritas 00:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely because you are not contributing to the encyclopedia. – Steel 22:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse Me?

Are you watching me, User talk:Steel359 while I am on Wikipedia? °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 22:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How long am I blocked? °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 22:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Forever, or until you show willingness to contribute to articles as opposed to playing about with signature books and userboxes. – Steel 22:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How do I know where to contribute? Please stop blocking me! If I cannot edit anything, then what else am I supposed to do? °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 22:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WHY did you delete my user page? WHY? JUst because I am not 'contributing' to this encyclopedia as much as I am 'supposed to' dosen't mean you have to block me FOREVER! °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 22:51, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

HELLO? Say something! °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 23:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I will try to contribute when I have the time. Right now I cannot, because I have tons of homework to do. Good day, °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 22:52, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing to say. Read the page linked in the block summary. Wikipedia is not MySpace. – Steel 23:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UNBLOCK ME! °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 22:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

I think that just because I do not contribute much does not mean User: Steel has to block me. I am not trying to make Wikipedia a social networking site. Are there any other administrators out there? If so, read this:

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Smartie960 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I think that just because I do not contribute much does not mean User: Steel has to block me. I am not trying to make Wikipedia a social networking site

Decline reason:

But you seem to contribute a lot, virtually 100% of it consisting of attempts at chatting/socializing. There are better sites for this out there. See What Wikipedia is not. Mango juice^talk 03:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

OK, I will try to contribute to the enclyclopedia articles more than the talk pages. I am willing to try again and do better. Please give me one more chance! °o°Smartie960°o°Smartie-Pants-So Smart 23:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One last chance then. – Steel 17:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any contributions that you made to the encyclopedia in your contributions list. A•N•N•A hi! 22:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

When will the block expire? --Yummie 17:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, the block is infinite... ♠TomasBat (@)(Contribs)(Sign!) 17:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
