re: Message

Do you mean in this way? Midorihana 10:11, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay; to be blunt, don't vandalise and especially don't be uncivil. Thanks. :)

What articles would you like to work on? Maybe I'll be able to help. Happy editing, Midorihana 10:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Put {{subst:User:-Midorihana-/Image template}} on whatever page you would like it to be on. If you want your whole signature to be green, put the following in your preferences: <font color="#009900">]</font> <font color="#009900">(])</font> which will display as Wannabe Wiki (talk). As for trying to find an article, what subjects are you interested in? Midorihana 11:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot to tell you - you need to click the "raw signature" box in your preferences. Then it should work. Sorry! :(

Yes, I am an atheist. Nothing bad about it, right?

We'll find an article, I'm sure. :) Before then, you can read up on Misplaced Pages's five pillars and the Manual of Style. Midorihana 11:32, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

As a note, you don't have to create a new section every time you respond. :) Midorihana 11:36, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

My username is Japanese, but I don't know any German whatsoever. :) I'm from the US. Midorihana 20:44, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

(←)

LOL. Happy (secular) Easter to you too. :)

Midorihana 04:41, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Asimov is cool too. :) I like science, which means, yes, I am a nerd. (but in a good way!) Check Misplaced Pages:Userboxes for userboxes. There are whole truckloads of them.

By the way, do you have any questions at all about Misplaced Pages policy and guidelines? Midorihana 05:49, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Battle of Callinicum (296)

You should probably redirect that to the existing Battle of Callinicum article and improve that article instead, methinks. Happy editing, Midorihana 07:35, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the editor review. :) Midorihana 04:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

• Don't worry about it. When I first started out, I had an article I wanted to edit, but when I wasn't editing articles I would revert vandalism. I suggest that's what you do. :) Some pages to check are Misplaced Pages:Vandalism, Misplaced Pages:Counter-Vandalism Unit, and Misplaced Pages:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace. When you revert vandalism, click the undo link next to the vandalism edit in the page history, make sure what you're reverting is vandalism, and save. Don't worry if you get an "edit conflict", that just means someone corrected the vandalism faster. :) When you revert vandalism, you also want to warn the user who made the edit. That's what the warning templates are for. Go to the talk page of the editor who made the edit and warn them using the appropriate template. If you want some examples of how to revert vandalism, see my contributions; there are several examples in there. (You can tell when I reverted vandalism by the edit summaries; if I reverted vandalism the summary says "Reverted edits by ___ to last version by ___". If I warned a user the summary usually says "Your recent edits"). After you feel comfortable with vandalism reversion manually, you may choose to use some scripts to help you (I use Lupin's anti-vandal tool because it's relatively easy to use).
• Don't worry about the article; someone already redirected it. I suggest that you don't copy and paste things from other pages, as then that violates Misplaced Pages:Copyright violations.

Happy editing, Midorihana 05:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you think so, baking cookies is a hobby. :) Midorihana 05:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:

I think the problem with the script is that you need navigation popups for it to work. Put the following into your js file:

importScript('User:Lupin/popups.js');

That should work. Did you remember to purge the cache of the page?

If you want you can start manually (if that's so, you'll have to remove the scripts from your monobook.js page); that's how I started out. Midorihana 02:39, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

To purge the cache, see Misplaced Pages:Bypass your cache for the browser you're using. Cheers, Midorihana 02:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: What An Interesting Name?

Hows it going, Wannabe Wiki? Basically, you never really know if you're dreaming. You might wake up right now. So my name implys that idea. I just threw the word "eh?" on the end because... that's what I do.

Oh by the way, how'd you get that unicorn on the bottom right? It looks awesome!

Youre dreaming eh? (talk) has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Cheers, and Happy editing!

Thanks for the barnstar! :) Midorihana 07:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Tool

I don't think you should have a problem... I used the tool in IE, what version do you have? Midorihana 07:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, the tool is Lupin's Anti-vandal tool. If you want an example of how to input the code, look here: User:-Midorihana-/monobook.js. All you need are these lines:

// Lupin's AVT:
 // Adds the following links to the toolbox: 
 // Filter recent changes
 // All recent changes
 // Recent IP edits
 // Monitor my watchlist
 // Live spellcheck
 importScript("User:Lupin/recent2.js");
 // ] Navigation popups, needed to make the above script work
 importScript('User:Lupin/popups.js');

You put this code in at User:Wannabe Wiki/monobook.js. Hope that helps, Midorihana 19:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I checked your monobook.js page, I think you just need the navigation popups too. After you do that, it should work. Midorihana 19:23, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the smile. :) You probably should stick to just what the template says, instead of adding such a long comment at the end, methinks. (Although you are allowed to do so) Regards, Midorihana 05:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Yup. Good luck. :) Midorihana 06:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

When you're on vandalism patrol, try check what you reverted; you might have accidentally reverted someone's correction to the vandalism (in regards to the VoA bot message). Hopefully that helps. :) Midorihana 07:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem. :) Regards, Midorihana 07:41, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Yup, thanks. :) Harold Keables is someone I've heard about through some articles I've read; he was named Life Magazine's teacher of the year once. Midorihana 01:02, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and no, I'm not an administrator. Cheers, Midorihana 06:06, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I should wait until I gain more experience, do more article work, etc. Thanks for the offer though. :) Midorihana 07:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure, thanks. :) Midorihana 07:49, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

April Fools Day

You too. :) Midorihana 20:32, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi there

You said you were lonely and ive been in that boat a ton of times so hopefully everyone, well mostly everyone on[REDACTED] can cheer you up. Your username is unusual and stange but the only thing i can say is just be yourself because thats who you are and not some wannabe, even if it is wiki. I dont know what the picture on the left of your page is, some guy but anyway all the best. Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 11:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey

How are you doing? Do you need any help with anything? Cheers, Midorihana 06:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I myself am going on a trip soon too. :)

• Images: Click on the image so you see the image description page, which will resemble this page. There will be several licensing templates underneath the image; for example, Example.png has the GNU Free Documentation License and the Creative Commons license underneath it. However, if an image has a "Non-free / fair use media rationale" notice on it, then it is copyrighted. (for an example, see this)
• Vandal tool: Did you check the "Use non-admin rollback" button?

Hope that helps! Feel free to email me if you need help. Regards, Midorihana 19:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

You're very welcome. :) I had a nice trip, pretty exciting and stuff. Cheers, Midorihana 07:16, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I went to a convention-like-thing for robotics people. It was really cool. Midorihana 22:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks...

...for the message. :) Midorihana 06:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

How's your editing, by the way? Midorihana 07:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Rainbow

Hi Adrian!!!!!! Im a Wiki User now, yay! I dont believe in this purplu unicorn, because i believe the real creator to be the "Flying Spaghetti Monster". This invisible unicorn cant even hold a candle to this monster. How do you get pictures on your page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magically Clever (talk • contribs) 07:57, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

New Contribution

Adrian, i have aready edited two pages!!!!! I was going to make a whole new page on Magical Trevor, but there was already a better one. Magically Clever (talk) 23:58, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Page

Adrian, although you may have edited over one hundred pages, which i highly doubt, have you created an entire page??? I have!!! Lord FSM forever. Magically Clever (talk) 06:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Be wary of editcountitis, both of you. ;) Midorihana 07:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I hope the diagnosis isn't too serious, then. :P Midorihana みどりはな 08:07, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Song

Yes Adrian, the song is apparantly "I wanna dance with somebody" by Whitney Houston. All hail the mighty FSM, all holy intelligent designer. ALso, im pretty sure that we wear casual clothing to parent teacher interviews. Adrian, look at my page!!! Type "The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy worst poetry" into google. When a very long name comes up, copy and paste just the name part into[REDACTED] and search. That should be my page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magically Clever (talk • contribs) 07:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

No, not that page you moron!!! Heres the link to my page: Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Sussex. What do you mean you know how to hypertext? Id ont get it. FSM forever, not the IPU, which takes on a whole new meaning if you remove the first letter.+ i have altered your page much in the same way as you altered my one. Ha Ha Ha Hand Jokes Ha Magically Clever (talk) 09:08, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

STOP!!!

Adrian, if you vandalise my page again like that, i will report you, im not joking this time. I will find a way!!! I had to redo my whole thing because i dont know how to undo anything you do!!!!! + it was you who got in trouble from Midorihana, ha ha hand jokes ha. FSM Forever. Magically Clever (talk) 11:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Guys - please stop accusing each other of things, nobody is in trouble right now, by me nor anyone else. Please avoid wikidrama if possible, thank you, both of you. No need to be agitated over everything.

But beyond that, if anyone has any questions about policy, I'll be happy to answer them. :) Midorihana みどりはな 02:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry Midorihana there is no drama we are just playing around,it's just that he constantly antagionises me because he is jelous of my superoir intellect:)Wannabe Wiki (talk) 08:00, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Please don't vandalize userpages - see Misplaced Pages:Vandalism for more info. Also, can we please concentrate more on building the encyclopedia? Thanks! Midorihana みどりはな 02:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I can help you find an article to edit, if you wish. Cheers, Midorihana みどりはな 05:24, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

You recently made an edit to a talk page without signing it. Please remember to sign comments that you make on talk pages, especially if they are strongly critical. Thank you. 69.140.152.55 (talk) 07:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

re

Weird eh, it must be because of the vandalism reversions. Anyways, are there any articles you want to edit? Midorihana みどりはな 07:03, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, that's not too bad. :) Pretty good, I would say.

To put references in an article, you need to enclose your source in <ref>...</ref> brackets.

For example, if I want to back up my statement that "Plato was a philosopher", then I would use the code <ref>{{cite web |url=http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/plato/ |title=Plato |accessdate=2008-05-21 |format=HTML |work=Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy |last=Kraut |first=Richard}}</ref>. After that, you would create a new section on the page titled "Notes" and underneath that, put the code {{reflist}}.

It should resemble this:

Plato was a philosopher.

Notes

1. Kraut, Richard. "Plato" (HTML). Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Retrieved 2008-05-21.

Hopefully that helps. Can you ask your history teacher where he/she got the info from? Good job, though! :) Midorihana みどりはな 17:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

It's not that late. I don't believe that you diddnt believe me. Don't you know that I'm always right??? I just reviewed Midorihana's work and I think it will be pleasing.
