Adoption request

Hi there A.JH.Ou (talk · contribs)! I am Yuser31415 (talk · contribs), and I see you have requested to be adopted. Have a look around my userpage and my talk page; and if you wish to be adopted by myself, then please let me know! Cheers! Yuser31415 07:27, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Why, it is my pleasure to adopt you! That means that if you have any questions, no matter how small, please be bold and let me know! Also, if you agree, I will look at your contributions regularly to see if you're having problems. Cheers! Yuser31415 03:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Cool then! Yuser31415 04:08, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: is this vandalism?

The edit appears to be a strong form of a test, but if it continued then yes, it would definitely be considered vandalism. Thanks for reverting it! Cheers! Yuser31415 21:02, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

UN

OK, thanks! I don't think there's a need to tell me if you do obvious vandalism reverts, but be sure to warn the user/s accordingly and contact an admin if that vandalism was posted after the user received a last warning when reverting. You might also want to have a look at the counter-vandalism unit pages. +Hexagon1 22:35, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Doing well

You're doing well, keep it up :). Yuser31415 (Editor review two!) 05:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

As a reply to your comment about WikiProject Awareness, I'd say the best thing to do would be to tell as many people as possible, especially your friends, family, and relatives. Try to see if you can get them to edit a page :). Yuser31415 (Editor review two!) 22:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

You'd love Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Fact and Reference Check! and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Countering systematic bias. Cheers! Yuser31415 (Editor review two!) 03:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I replied on my talk page (I reply there because that keeps all the discussion together). Yuser31415 (Editor review two!) 04:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I relied to your fair use question there also :). Yuser31415 (Editor review two!) 19:37, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

User page template?

Hi, I'm just wondering: did you use a template for your user page (doesn't look like it though)? If so, what is it? I'd like to make my userpage somewhat less sloppy and somewhat more functional/usable. Or, did you "borrow" it from someone else xD? Thanks. --Havocrazy 04:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, my userpage is just plain wikitext. As it is markup language similar to HTML, it is possible to specify the layout of a webpage through programming. If you look at the <div style="..."> sections in the source, you can see how various "properties" can be modified to affect orientation. No, I did not completely "borrow" from anyone, but it helps to take a look at any examples illustrating interesting uses of wikitext and see if it can be expanded upon. +A.Ou 06:45, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I see. Hm, perhaps I'll try to design my own userpage like that one day; thanks for the advice. I might borrow a few pieces of your code, if that's all right with you. And by the way, I have located another Troy editor on here: User:Azntrigboi777, but I don't know who he is yet. --Havocrazy 06:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations for reporting an inappropriate username :P. Incidentally, you posted on WP:AIV just after I had :). Yuser31415 07:15, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism to your page

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I reverted some vandalism to your user page. Check your user page history and you'll see. Other than that, happy editing! --- Hdt83 | Talk/Chat 04:40, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Your AIV report on Talktechno

Thank you for making a report in respect of Talktechno (talk · contribs · block log) on Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Misplaced Pages and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thanks. Sandstein 19:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, my bad. I thought you meant to block them for their spamming (which would have required a prior warning) rather than for their website-derived username. Anyway, Sasquatch has blocked them now. Sandstein 19:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

What way do you suggest?

Hi What way do you suggest of slolving this dispute in the quiest poosible way. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Private10 (talk • contribs) 01:58, 11 March 2007 (UTC).

A.Ou: He left a legal threat in his advocates request for you. What a sweetie this user is :) Auto 02:17, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

... and the quiet resolution is: he was blocked as a troll account indefinitely. Took a little while, though. Auto 03:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Ad suggestion: Misplaced Pages 1.0

Hey, nice job on the ads!

I was wondering whether you can include an ad for the Version 1.0 Editorial Team. Thanks! +A.0u 00:00, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your suggestion. I'll see what I can do – Qxz 10:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Copyright

I'm new to WP, so I'm not sure if this is the correct page to edit. I hope I'm not defacing anything, or something like that. Anyway, the 2 pictures on Joseph_(artist) are MY photographs of HIS work. Did I license them incorrectly?

As per permission, I received verbal permission yesterday when I saw him in the subway. He was encouraging photos of himself and his work to be taken and distributed.

Thanks for the Welcome

I'm very new at this, and while I primarily use Misplaced Pages for a place to start on topics that are mentioned that I know nothing about (and there are many) I also can contribute occasionally and I like to remove vandalism whenever I can. I'll use the Edit Summary box from now on. Thanks for the support! Trevelyaninc 04:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

Special note to spamlist users: Apologies for the formatting issues in previous issues. This only recently became a problem due to a change in HTML Tidy; however, I am to blame on this issue. Sorry, and all messages from this one forward should be fine (I hope!) -Ral315

Image

When you edited the image of Phyllis Sclafly you droped the tags so the OrphanBot deleted the image. Remember to include tags next time. Thanks Wsfraser 20:31, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

RE:Encycloboxes

Um, the image page clearly says "This file is from Wikimedia Commons". You should look at it. - Patricknoddy 11:49, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

The image is used by many people on their userpage. - Patricknoddy 11:06, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, I assume your message at User:Shantigk69 was meant to be posted on the talk page, so I've moved it. Hope you don't mind =) PeaceNT 06:41, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

My mistake. Thanks for catching that. +A.0u 06:59, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I just notice. Are you a friend of Yuser? Do you know why Yuser hasn't been around recently? PeaceNT 07:07, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I'm a friend of Yuser, but I don't really know why he hasn't edited recently...sorry. +A.0u 19:56, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

User:WPholic

Actually, you did not have to tell WPholic how to sign your siganture,etc. because she has edited for over a year already! It was until now that her father allowed her to create ann account because he was afraid that she might becme too Wikipe-dish (like me).

Also, we are close friends and so I let her use my account once, therefore she knows what to do as a User.

Anyway, why is your Userpage Featured? Littleghostboo (Win an argument and leave your mark in history.) 07:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

(?) It was only a welcome message; it is customary to give them to "new" Wikipedians as a sort of cheerful greeting...and that "Featured" image on my page is merely a joke. +A.0u 21:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad to see that you joined the[REDACTED] vandalism project. I believe that with our next study we will be able to gather more information that will be very useful to the[REDACTED] community. Any help we can get on this is greatly appreciated. Remember 12:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Personal attacks and inappropriate comments

Someone keeps putting attacks and inappropriate comments on my user page. What are my options to deal with it?--Wayne Neptune 01:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Fortunately, there are Wikipedians to help you deal with personal attacks. You may want to see Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks#Recurring attacks for a few options, but I think you want Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/User conduct, especially if the user has done nothing but disrupt Misplaced Pages (which would likely resolve in a ban or block). If you need additional assistance, I'm always here to help. :) +A.0u 02:00, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

If you're going to Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/User conduct, please also be aware of minimum requirements. I'll be the second supporting user if necessary. +A.0u 02:03, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Removal of non-free images

I know that non-free images can be used in certain articles. Using a single or album cover to illustrate a living musician (which is the situation on the Jamelia article), however, is not appropriate under Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria. That a free-licensed alternative has not been located, uploaded and added to the article by a Misplaced Pages or Wikimedia Commons editor does not mean that such an alternative does not exist or could not be easily created; in the case of Jamelia, she is scheduled to make public appearances in the next few weeks. 80.0.72.76 20:14, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi you recently sent me a message on my talkpage. How do you add a reference to a Wiki-page? Is there a page on Misplaced Pages explaining this? Perspicacite 17:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
