How do I create a user status page? SteelersFan-94 07:21, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- You have two basic options. There's WP:QUI, or you can use a standalone script someone else has written. I use Misza's; if you go here, you can see the code in my monobook. //roux 07:32, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- You also need to create subpages... look at my subpages for pages starting with 'status'. You need to create the same pages in your userspace, and populate them in the same way. If you have more questions, ask here; I have your talk on my watchlist. //roux 07:53, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Those are the pages you need. Again, please respond here so that the conversation makes more sense. //roux 08:04, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

If you can do it so it looks half way decent, be my guest.
Vjmlhds 20:17, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
I was messing around with it after you wrote me to see how I could finangle it, through trial and error, I got something halfway decent.
And while it's good you're a Cavs fan, the fact you're a Steelers fan automatically makes you my mortal enemy.
Just kidding, I'm actually envious.
(mumbles)I still hate you anyway !

Vjmlhds 23:29, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Well, it looks like this character is just looking for trouble, so whatever it takes for him too wake up and smell the coffee needs to be done.

[edit]Dread did the right thing. Looking at the link he provided, you'll see that a 72 hour block is appropriate. The socks cannot return, as they are indef blocked, but Jay can still return to edit constructively when the block expires. Thanks, iMatthew 12:53, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Coaching
[edit]Hey Steelerfan. I noticed your comment on Balloonman's talk page. I'm not an administrator, I'm currently undergoing a review and then I'll apply again soon, but I wanted to place a comment here anyway. You refer to administrative coaching as 'lessons', which I'm not sure is the best idea to have. No one gets through RfA by taking 'lessons' (at least, they shouldn't) but instead coaching is supposed to be a review of your edits and perhaps a test of your policy knowledge. If an administrator feels happy with you, they may eventually nominate you or encourage you to nominate yourself. In contrast, a lesson would suggest they are teaching you how to jump through hoops in order to pass; that is not the case.
Anyway, best of luck with your ambition to become an administrator. Hope you don't mind my comments.

- I disagree. I don't believe "lesson" implies teaching anything about jumping through hoops, it only implies someone teaching someone else something. It could be anything. Useight (talk) 06:04, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Re: Smile
[edit]Thanks for the smile. But, what are you talking about? What ordeal? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:28, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm gonna be honest with you: I never knew about it, hope you learned your lesson, and let's move on. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:38, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Thanks for your careful consideration at my successful RfA. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for me. (For once, I'm not watchlisting when I post, since I've got 92 thank-you notes to get out.) - Dan Dank55 (send/receive) 16:48, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Hey
[edit]What's up? Like you said, long time no see! :-) And, as far as citing goes, I know where to look, but I usually bring up what I find on the article's talk page. I just don't know where to put it. And, I know Eddie went to Jefferson because I live in El Paso and when he died, he was ALL OVER the news and they continuously mentioned that he graduated from Jefferson High School. I just have to find a reliable link. Not to mention that the El Paso Independent School District article states that he graduated from Jefferson. I know my facts, I just don't know where to put the citations. Most of my atatements come from the Jefferson website. 06:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- His wiki article simply states that he's from El Paso and that he was in UNM. The EPISD article is the only article I know of that states that he did go to Jeff. And, how do I create a reflist for my article? 06:26, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- IDK if I did it right, but I added the reflist template like how it is in other articles. So, what do I do now? 06:37, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- I did the referencing and it worked. I referenced one website twice because It mentioned practically all the information in the article. And, IDK if I could do this, but I referenced a WP page on there, too. Now, what? 06:55, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- I cited that Eddie went to Jeff from here. 07:02, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- So, would the sandbox be good to be an article now, or does it still need some modifying? 07:07, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, later! COWBOYS RULE (except for Tony HOMO)!!! XP :-) 07:16, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

A small review of your recent edits
[edit]Ohai Steelerfan, I've noticed some problems with some of your recent edits, and I'm not trying to call you out on them, but I'd like you to understand the problems I've noticed. I'm doing this because I saw your request on Balloonman's talk page and I just wanted to offer a quick review of your edits. This is a review of your December edits thus far.
- [1] I'm sure you know Wikipedia is not a forum, so just try to remember that.
- [2] Although this seems wrong and unsourced information, it doesn't appear to be vandalism and rollback should not have been use. Other mis-uses of rollback include: [3], [4], [5] -- you used rollback here and were wrong with the information you reverted as it was already linked earlier in the article and therefore not needed linked again, [6]
- [7] Completely un-related to Wikipedia, try to send e-mails to other users instead of posting things like that on their talk page.
- [8] Don't insult newbies. Even if they are one, calling them one is going to make them mad. They are all Wikipedians, so insulting them is not good.
- [9] The user is obviously a disruptive vandal. But we have a policy against insulting the vandals, so don't do that. Saying "your wrong" twice in one sentence is insulting and can be uncivil.
So just make sure you watch your edits, and remember -- rollback is for vandalism only! You have to use your judgment to determine what is and what is not vandalism, but it is given to you with the trust that you have the abilities to do so. So good luck with your future editing! ayematthew ✡ 13:05, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much Matt, I'll try to work on it
R.E.

"Newbies"
[edit]I don't think it's an attack.
Newbie means someone who's new and doesn't know the routine.
It's not like you called him stupid (like Oreius called me).
Did someone go after you for "attacking" the newbie?
Because if so, I don't think it's warranted.
Newbie = rookie. It's not meant to be an insult.

User page redesigned
[edit]Hello, I've redesigned your user page upon your request. It took me about an hour-or-so, but I managed to make it how I thought you would like it. If you don't like it, feel free to revert! If you want any improvements, just drop me a line. Please remember that I've redesigned your user page in return of your contributions to the encylopedia—minor or major. Every edit counts. I don't redesign myspacer's user pages. Consider this a small token because of your edits to articles for Wikipedia. Our main goal here is to create a free encyclopedia anyway. Thank you. – RyanCross (talk) 08:59, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- O.K, thanks Ryan, you put that in a way I've never though of before. Cheers SteelersFan-94 19:18, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I know
[edit]I knowWillC 04:08, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- I don't need any links. Lets just talk about this over e-mail. I don't even care to be honest.WillC 04:17, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- Alright. I don't need a check up for you to know, I get a window pop up that says when I get an e-mail.04:32, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- If I wanted to I could write it, source it, and take it to GAN in a day if I felt like it. Follow the example of my version of the The Main Event Mafia when finishing it. I'll try to help you out. Plus to show you with experience everything gets easier, notice what I did in a day with no sleep and not paying attention: here and here; original versions of them are here and here.WillC 05:16, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Impact results from reliable sources. You read Impact reports from reliable sources such as PWTorch like I told you for Victory Road 04. Start around July where the storyline began because you need a background report to tell why they formed and then a formation section to tell the exact day they official joined together. Only notable informatioon is needed, like first battles, titles won and lost, new members join and some leave. Most things people think are notable are not really notable. You use the reference button at the top of the edit section to make a reference and follow Template:Cite web to finish the reference.WillC 05:27, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Just make it sound fine. I'm going to take The Main Event Mafia and The Frontline to GAN after storyline is over anyway. I'll resource the article and rewrite part of it when I do that. So none of it will probably be long lasting.WillC 05:58, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- If you are talking about our IM discussion, No. I have no reason, I tend to keep to myself so I don't create drama.WillC 06:11, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
Re: RFA
[edit]Of couse I remember you! It's good to hear from you again. :) Yes, I have thought about RFA, and I thank you for thinking og me, but I have decided that I don't want to be an admin. Especially not this year, since I have some pretty stressful exams coming up, and I don't expect to be editing much after Christmas. Thanks you again for the thought though. :) ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 04:53, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- I could, but I don't wanna. Too much effort to go through an RfA now. Maybe in the summer. I'll let ya know, I swear. :) Yea, I'm an agnostic, but I still celebrate Christmas, kinda. I still receive/give presents, but I don't but into the "birth of Jesus thing". I treat it more like a holiday for family and friends, and family values. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 05:02, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, it took me so long to reply, but I fell asleep! Yea, it was kinda late! ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 00:18, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
What's up?
[edit]Hey do you think you could make me a new sig, kind of like yours with the "Black" in black and the "ngold29" in the same kind of gold I have now, same font I have now; with no background? If you have the time that'd be awesome, though I bet I could figure it out somehow. Defense is playing well, HUGE game this weekend. I'm gonna be pumped. Thanks! Blackngold29 05:41, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- That's cool, no rush I probably won't be on much until the weekend. Yeah, the D really pulled it out for us. I think they realized the offense wasn't gonna be able to win it, so they just did it themselves. And then all the media talks about is how poorly Dallas did, boo hoo, it's always the other teams doing bad, never the Steelers doing good. Oh well, the win is all that counts. I gotta go to sleep now, talk to ya soon. Blackngold29 05:53, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- Good call, a darker color does look better; I got it. Thanks a lot, I can usually handle colors, but it would've taken me forever to figure out that whole thing. Awesome. blackngold29 20:39, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- How's that for an awesome game! Man, I'm so pumped! blackngold29 02:50, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Advice please
[edit]Hey master! I was wondering d'you know how to make a cool way to do my user and talk page. Other than that, I was wondering could you make my name -The Master Of All Wolves (talk)- cool and styled? The Master Of All Wolves (talk) 21:58, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
Hey thanks! I don't really know... how about a red background and gold hand writing, if it's possible the bottom half of the background white. Thanks. And the user page isn't necesary, it was just for me to look less noobish, you know. Thanks Master. The Master Of All Wolves (talk) 22:07, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Correct, I've had an admin block his main account for being uncivil and vandalism -- which allows the other accounts to be blocked. ayematthew ✡ 11:44, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- As well, since he was open about having the accounts they may have been alternate accounts of his. ayematthew ✡ 11:46, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I took him to AN/i last night at about 1:00AM. and A admin I know and trust told me to say something. Thanks for the update, both of you. SteelersFan-94 20:21, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
