TwinkleThanks for testing! — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 03:06, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Help. I'm not sure where to go from here. Two users have been going back and forth adding and removing the Canadian Flag Icon from Elisha Cuthbert's infobox. [1]. I've asked them to discuss it on the talk page [2] [3](twice, in the latter case!) and although one has started talks he still reverted the edit on the article. I feel like I could bang their heads together! Any suggestions? — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 03:33, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Your userpagePlease explain why you claim credit for the design on your userpage when you clearly copied it off User:Antandrus. Claiming credit for the work of others is not right. Aeon Flux 10:30, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Re;SignpostHey, thanks! It's my first one, so I am quite proud. How are you these days? Love always, Neranei (talk) 21:24, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, language is something I've always loved. I guess that's why I have thought that Wikipedia is one of the better meritocracies out there, as you aren't judged on age or disability, but on how well you contribute. That's one of the things I really love about this place. I do speak fluent chatspeak, but hardly ever use it. I was very surprised when the Signpost accepted my article, that's for sure! Neranei (talk) 00:47, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
P.S. You might want to fix his "live in" link to Bel Air, Maryland, as it is red link right now, and Bel Air is two words (and a disamb page). Ariel ♥ Gold 01:05, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
revisions to " KCBS-TV"You are quite correct about this article's length and lack of sourcing; I was going to add citations as I edited but instead decided to rewrite the article then fill in the blanks. I have decided to revert the article to its previous state (before I began my edit) so as not to leave in my wake an unsourced (and perhaps overly long) version. I believe the material is scrupulously factual, but I'll let others who know it as well or better add sourcing I may not have.

IP 84.178.206.65 blanked this person's userpage, which I then reverted [4]. They then dropped me a note on my talk page about Self Promotion [5]. On the one hand, it's an anonymous IP and all they've done is blank that page. On the other, they do seem to have a good point, and also Pearljr hasn't been active in quite some time. As I'm not the only one to have reverted their blanking, which now may be Good Faith rather than Vandalism, I thought I'd ask your opinion. — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 05:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Bangs....head....on....wallDearest Ariel!! Since you have weighed in at UAA and RFCN, you must understand my predicament. I have now been admonished by both UAA and RFCN admins for incorrect reports. I have no idea what to do anymore. I'm trying to ensure that inappropriate usernames get reported appropriately (ha, ha), trying to ensure Rspeer's concerns are heard, and all I can do is throw up my hands. :( Advice, thoughts, happy unrelated thoughts to share? ~ Eliz 81 (C) 21:51, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

And for the last time, I gave up trying to create it, because it kept being declined! You have to create it for me, Ariel. If I continue to create it, they'll just keep refusing to accept it, and now it's getting too hard for me, and I can't do it anymore! :( (begins to cry) I can't do it without it getting declined. If you don't, it will never be available on wikipedia, ever! You're my only hope of creating it, Ariel! You may be the only one who can create it, so you and Leebo can work together to create it for me, okay? 24.14.216.60 00:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

FungusSo, you, who I just realised is not an admin (and why not?), I know you are knowledgeable. Fungusdude, Fungusfreak, Fungusperson, Funguscheese and Funguslube are all the same person (see the latter's userpage - he's proud of it all), all have been blocked as vandal only accounts.

Adding Israeli artists Bios
I have been living in Israel during the last year and was quite throughly impressed with the burgeoning and exciting art scene both in TA and Jeru. Upon looking up the Israeli artists/painters bios in Wiki I found it quite lacking and decided on a whim to add the bios of several artists I had been exposed too here(though the favor was not so well appreciated as they have little faith in new media I have their email promises to upload and keep at least the commons section due to copyright issues). I have been studying wiki's editing language and have written one article as of now to see how it goes. I take it that u are on some sort of editorial level in Wiki and so I would like to put forth some questions: 1. What sort of referencing or links are required to make an article more sound and acceptable as bias free.
2. If you are an Israeli, is there an accepted policy on cross language articles (HEB and ENG) and could you be so kind as to direct me to it as I have failed in locating it.
3. What is the best way (copyright wise) to upload media onto Wiki.
4. The list of articles that reference international artists seems to be quite jumbled, is there a list or does one have to go through the list of links?
Will appreciate a speedy reply as I still have many Bios I intend to write - JSJ - User:John Sturges Jr 06:57 September 10, 2007

PicturesHey sorry for the problem with the pictures but i just had one question. Could you possibly give me a step by step way to put images into the space shuttle mission sections. That is the only thing that I look at and try to keep updated. I only use the images from the nasa websites. I am going to try and start keeping these missions updated becasue before I came here they seemed to not be up to date with the latest.

Boo! At you.It seems we both might have a problem with clarity :D As a side note, when you do your smiles, do you just remember the image link, or do you do something else? Because it gets annoying having to come back to your talk page every time I need one. i said 04:03, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
so why aren't you an admin?You avoided it last time I hinted at it, so I'm asking outright. :) — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 04:10, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes I was just pasting {{test as I got it from the box on my userpage for ease. Phgao 08:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Oh yes, that's the same in IE as well, but it's damned annoying. Oh yes backspace works as well and is quicker (I like speed...), and it works in FF too. Its alright if someone else beats me to the edit, but the point is it is a waste of time, and as you've demonstrated, mine is not an isolated case. I'm asking now on the RefDesk whether adblock or some program is available to block the link. Oh and i've bookmarked your essay and added it to my links for future reference and I'll await the finished product. Phgao 09:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Was I out of place?User talk:The1darknight - And were the policies that I asked him to read the right ones? Any guidance on how to deal with situations like these in future would be much appreciated! I understand that I did seem a little gruff in my response. Thank you and my apologies if I have screwed up in some manner. Pat. Scarian Talk 09:06, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I have been studying wiki's editing language and have written one article as of now to see how it goes. I take it that u are on some sort of editorial level in Wiki and so I would like to put forth some questions: 1. What sort of referencing or links are required to make an article more sound and acceptable as bias free.
2. If you are an Israeli, is there an accepted policy on cross language articles (HEB and ENG) and could you be so kind as to direct me to it as I have failed in locating it.
3. What is the best way (copyright wise) to upload media onto Wiki.
4. The list of articles that reference international artists seems to be quite jumbled, is there a list or does one have to go through the list of links?
Will appreciate a speedy reply as I still have many Bios I intend to write - JSJ - User:John Sturges Jr 06:57 September 10, 2007

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. Happy editing! RE:Name?Hello, dear Ariel. Sorry about the name :-) It's based on Agüeybaná, the most powerful cacique of my island. Don't worry, though; User:Agueybana (my name without the characters) redirects to my userpage :-) Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie is now Ag ü eybaná 20:53, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
I've been having fun todayKept me busy, anyway. — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 21:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
what would you do?User:Brownships. At first glance, there's some odd vandalism. At second glance, the user seems happy with it, given his last change of the page. [7]. But then that's the only page he's edited. [8]. Would you consider that to be a Speedy candidate? — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 01:38, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
PicturesHey sorry for the problem with the pictures but i just had one question. Could you possibly give me a step by step way to put images into the space shuttle mission sections. That is the only thing that I look at and try to keep updated. I only use the images from the nasa websites. I am going to try and start keeping these missions updated becasue before I came here they seemed to not be up to date with the latest.

Boo! At you.It seems we both might have a problem with clarity :D As a side note, when you do your smiles, do you just remember the image link, or do you do something else? Because it gets annoying having to come back to your talk page every time I need one. i said 04:03, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
so why aren't you an admin?You avoided it last time I hinted at it, so I'm asking outright. :) — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 04:10, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

sleep deprivation kicks inboingy boingy boingy!! Too cute picture of the little kitten! I'm working on sleep deprivation myself, woo hoo! Insomnia is great, isn't it? Ariel ♥ Gold 08:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC) AhhhhhhThanks for the tip (I didnt know that) ! So do I put {{subst:uw-test1|Article on the vandal's page? And change the number after test, correct? Yes I was just pasting {{test as I got it from the box on my userpage for ease. Phgao 08:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Oh yes, that's the same in IE as well, but it's damned annoying. Oh yes backspace works as well and is quicker (I like speed...), and it works in FF too. Its alright if someone else beats me to the edit, but the point is it is a waste of time, and as you've demonstrated, mine is not an isolated case. I'm asking now on the RefDesk whether adblock or some program is available to block the link. Oh and i've bookmarked your essay and added it to my links for future reference and I'll await the finished product. Phgao 09:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Was I out of place?User talk:The1darknight - And were the policies that I asked him to read the right ones? Any guidance on how to deal with situations like these in future would be much appreciated! I understand that I did seem a little gruff in my response. Thank you and my apologies if I have screwed up in some manner. Pat. Scarian Talk 09:06, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
