Hey there; feel free to ask any questions you might have below.
(How do I make a line break here?)
So I think the 'Developments' section under Chinatown Wars should be edited/removed. It's written very poorly, there's no sources and it just reads very bad. First of all, I'm not 100% sure if I'm even right about all that. And I have no idea how to properly word my justification Wikipedia-style for such an edit. What do you think? Also, how exactly would I make a link directly to the Developments section?
Thanks.
== Section Title Here ==
. To link directly to the Developments section, simply use the internal link
Chinatown Wars#Developments. If you feel the section is written poorly and there's no sources, feel free to remove it. Be sure to include an informative edit summary, so your removal is not taken as vandalism. . -

Which of your 9,000+ edits to a Wikipedia article are you most proud of? TravisAF ( talk) 11:06, 27 February 2009 (UTC) reply
I've seen that you've added Lupin's Anti-vandal tool to your monobook.js and enabled Huggle! Keep it up! - down load | sign! 00:21, 3 March 2009 (UTC) reply
In my watchlist page, a typical entry looks like this....
(diff) (hist) . . User:Download/Adopt/TravisAF; 13:04 . . (-14) . . Download ( talk | contribs) ( →Vandalism Reverts)
What does the (-14) mean? It always seems to be a different number/color.
Edit: Now it says (+255)
So I searched for a certain article. The resutls came to a disambiguation page. I found the link I was looking for, but it directed me to an article with the same title but not right page at all. How would I go about fixing this?
So I went to an elementary school named after Clara Barton. I saw on the actual person's page that that school was not listed under 'locations named after Clara Barton.' I added my school in, but I was wondering if I did it properly. Should I have some kind of source? Because I only added it to her article based on my own experience/research. Sorry if this is a confusing question. TravisAF ( talk) 03:13, 9 March 2009 (UTC) reply
So I tried to add a photo of mine to an article. I got so lost and confused I'm still cleaning up the remains of my exploded skull. Isn't there some kind of FAQ or Help Guide to Wikipedia? It seems like Wikipedia is such a massive and complicated website, there MUST be some thorough kind of help-guide to help the noobers. Somethin' simple like a step-by-step full walkthrough of how to do something as simple as adding a personal photo to an article. Anything?
Also, how can I tell if I have rollback? An admin told me he'd get around it, but I have no idea how I can be sure if he did it or not. TravisAF ( talk) 03:22, 13 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Hey there! You've been doing very well recently. Regarding this vandalism reversion: [2]... you're doing very well with your rollback priviliges. However, remember to give the user a warning, such as {{ uw-vand1}} or {{ uw-test1}}. (Remember to substitute these templates!) This really helps put an end to vandalism. - down load | sign! 04:10, 15 March 2009 (UTC) reply
So I had a good run of rollbacked stuff using Lupin's. I tried warning someone, I just want to make sure I did the whole thing correctly. Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:59.92.37.214 TravisAF ( talk) 02:46, 18 March 2009 (UTC) reply
So at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=The_Last_Remnant&action=history this dude has been screwing with the page everytime I try to fix. What would you do? TravisAF ( talk) 03:23, 18 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Go check out the history of my user page. All that happened about 5 minutes into my using Huggle. Does it usually get that crazy? TravisAF ( talk) 04:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC) reply
So I just got done spending some time with Huggle. Do you think you could let me know how I'm doing? If they're responsible edits or if I'm trying to do too much? I'd appreciate it. TravisAF ( talk) 05:17, 20 March 2009 (UTC) reply
If someone leaves me a message on my talk page, how exactly do I respond? If I simply add in my response to the page, will they know? Or should I go post my response on their talk page? TravisAF ( talk) 05:24, 20 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Nice to see you using Huggle! If you aren't using the keyboard shortcuts yet, they are a great help to me. "Q" is to revert and warn, "R" is to only revert, and the space bar is to skip the page. - down load | sign! 18:02, 22 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Sorry about it! When you use the {{ talkback}} template, don't substitute it as you did on my talk page. I've read the documentation and it should be transcluded, so simply add it to the talkpage without a subst:. - down load | sign! 03:14, 26 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Transcluding and substituting are basically the two ways of including a template message on another page. Transcluding, {{
cleanup}}, would leave the code as {{cleanup}}
after saving the page. However, if you substituted the template, the {{subst:cleanup}}
you added to the page would be replaced by whatever the template had in it.
For example, this is subsitituted:
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Please improve this article if you can. |
...and this is transcluded:
This user page may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. No cleanup reason has been specified. Please help improve this user page if you can; the talk page may contain suggestions. |
Different templates should be transcluded and substituted. For example, the {{ cleanup}} template should be transcluded when used in articles, and the {{ uw-vand1}} template should be substituted.
You can see the difference by clicking edit. - down load | sign! 22:37, 26 March 2009 (UTC) reply
I stole a bunch of those userboxes from your user page. I dunno if that's unethical, but just in case, I thought I'd let you know. TravisAF ( talk) 04:22, 26 March 2009 (UTC) reply
I just saw the userbox stating "This user is an atheist" on your userpage. Although I am one as well, I would recommend that you put such things minimally on your userpage. It could cause other Wikipedians to be biased against you; for example, some users will oppose an RfA just because they are against atheists.

Is it possible to completely delete/remove pictures that I uploaded to Wikipedia intending to post in an article, but then changed my mind? There's a few pics just chilling somewhere in the nether regions of Wikipedia. TravisAF ( talk) 03:58, 27 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Wikipedia has such oddball methods for some actions. Why not just a 'delete' button on the pic's page? TravisAF ( talk) 04:12, 27 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Why does it seem like it's such a big deal to use AWB? I see it's recommended to have at least 500+ edits. What is so special about it? I figure Huggle is a pretty serious program to use, but I was able to get it as an utter neophyte. TravisAF ( talk) 04:58, 27 March 2009 (UTC) reply
I was wondering, how much time would you guess you spend per day on Wikipedia reverting vandalism? I can't quite wrap my head around 15,000+ edits. TravisAF ( talk) 06:44, 27 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Got my first barn star. I'm pumped. TravisAF ( talk) 01:53, 3 April 2009 (UTC) reply
So I'm trying to allow editcontributions for my s/n. I'm talking about on my contributions page, when you click "Edit Count" it'll bring up a whole 'nother page. I try seeing the graphs section, but it says I gotta create an editcounter sub page and add "yes" to some criteria. I did exactly (I think) everything it asked, but it still ain't working. Any ideas?

Alright, it's been over 1 month in our adoption. I've looked over your contribs, and I think you're sufficiently learned about Wikipedia. Therefore, if you don't have any more questions, you're free to graduate! Of course, if you still have questions in the future, feel free to ask me on my talk page.
