Make sense Im just happy nobody attack my spelling and grammar on here like they do on myspace
...Did You Know?
Hi, my names
Chris Murray. I've noticed your comments a couple of times on the
pro wrestling Wikiproject talk page. Just wondering, are you aware that if you finish your comment with "--~~~~, then it will sign your comment with your username, along with a time signature? Additionally, if you are using the
edit toolbar option (which must be enabled under
Special:Preferences), you may also click the signature icon () to add the four tildes. Just a suggestion, as a number of your comments seem to be nothing more than "[[User:Supermike|supermike]]", or even sometimes, "[[supermike|supermike]]" - which links to nothing!
Saying that I have a myspace profile that Im a smallville fan stuff like that

ooh, i have another idea, have you had a look at my
Userboxes page? Userboxes are a really simple method of expression, and they can make simple statements easily. Any userbox can be added to your page by adding the simple template of "{{userbox name here}}". See the source code of my Userboxes page for info. Also, any userboxes you may want are probably already here somewhere, so put out a search for "
MySpace userbox" or "
Bebo userbox" and you will get results. Also, you can take a look at the Wikipedia
Userboxes page for more info on what you can have in userboxes, and how to make your own.
Ever heard of a talk page? It's where people talk to each other. Ever heard of vandalizing a userpage? Well, thanks for doing it to mine. Seeing how you can not do anything useful, i'm gonna try to get you blocked.

Hi Supermike, and thanks for your request. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by asking for my help in putting "trivia back into the topics..." If you're asking about "Trivia" sections, there are specific guidelines on
WP:TRIVIA that discourage such things in Wikipedia articles; most of these have been removed over the last couple of years, although you'll still find some from time to time. Trivia can still be included in an article, if it can be written into the text in an encyclopedic way, and most importantly, if it can be
sourced. Unfortunately the nature of trivia often means that it can't be properly sourced. It also sometimes runs into problems with another Wikipedia policy,
original research. This doesn't mean that nothing can be included, though - if you have something in mind, and you have a source for it, if you let me know what it is and which article you think it would fit into, I can try to help further. All the best,

My bad
Sorry, I didn't mean to put that warning I misread the warning and thought it said "Sign your post notice" but I screwed up so sorry for that well any ways sign your post by putting the four tildes (~ ~ ~ ~)(don't include spaces)and if you don't know were the tildes key is it is at the left of the 1/! key alternately you can just press the tab that looks like a signature above the edit box. Well I hope I helped you. --

Do not order me around. See my reply at the WrestleMania XXV page. Nobody said it was the 24th WrestleMania. They are saying that it is the 24th anniversary of WrestleMania, and they're right. WrestleMania 1 was the first WrestleMania. WrestleMania 2 was the first anniversary of WrestleMania. WrestleMania 3 was the second aniiversary of WrestleMania. Count on up and you'll find that WrestleMania 25 is the 24th anniversary of WrestleMania, not the 25th like WWE is claiming. Stop insulting people on talk pages and claiming that they are making things up simply because you disagree with them. Everyone will be a lot less inclined to listen to and discuss it with you, because of it. ♥

No. I never said that. I never even implied that. You're understanding the distinction between the event number and which
anniversary it is. WrestleMania was the 20th WrestleMania to be held; however, it was only the 19th anniversary of WrestleMania. I am not saying that WrestleMania 20 was WrestleMania 19, and neither is anyone else. ♥

Make sense Im just happy nobody attack my spelling and grammar on here like they do on myspace
...Did You Know?
Hi, my names
Chris Murray. I've noticed your comments a couple of times on the
pro wrestling Wikiproject talk page. Just wondering, are you aware that if you finish your comment with "--~~~~, then it will sign your comment with your username, along with a time signature? Additionally, if you are using the
edit toolbar option (which must be enabled under
Special:Preferences), you may also click the signature icon () to add the four tildes. Just a suggestion, as a number of your comments seem to be nothing more than "[[User:Supermike|supermike]]", or even sometimes, "[[supermike|supermike]]" - which links to nothing!
Saying that I have a myspace profile that Im a smallville fan stuff like that
Supermike 12:23 pm, 8 August 2007
ooh, i have another idea, have you had a look at my
Userboxes page? Userboxes are a really simple method of expression, and they can make simple statements easily. Any userbox can be added to your page by adding the simple template of "{{userbox name here}}". See the source code of my Userboxes page for info. Also, any userboxes you may want are probably already here somewhere, so put out a search for "
MySpace userbox" or "
Bebo userbox" and you will get results. Also, you can take a look at the Wikipedia
Userboxes page for more info on what you can have in userboxes, and how to make your own.
Ever heard of a talk page? It's where people talk to each other. Ever heard of vandalizing a userpage? Well, thanks for doing it to mine. Seeing how you can not do anything useful, i'm gonna try to get you blocked.

Hi Supermike, and thanks for your request. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by asking for my help in putting "trivia back into the topics..." If you're asking about "Trivia" sections, there are specific guidelines on
WP:TRIVIA that discourage such things in Wikipedia articles; most of these have been removed over the last couple of years, although you'll still find some from time to time. Trivia can still be included in an article, if it can be written into the text in an encyclopedic way, and most importantly, if it can be
sourced. Unfortunately the nature of trivia often means that it can't be properly sourced. It also sometimes runs into problems with another Wikipedia policy,
original research. This doesn't mean that nothing can be included, though - if you have something in mind, and you have a source for it, if you let me know what it is and which article you think it would fit into, I can try to help further. All the best,

My bad
Sorry, I didn't mean to put that warning I misread the warning and thought it said "Sign your post notice" but I screwed up so sorry for that well any ways sign your post by putting the four tildes (~ ~ ~ ~)(don't include spaces)and if you don't know were the tildes key is it is at the left of the 1/! key alternately you can just press the tab that looks like a signature above the edit box. Well I hope I helped you. --

Do not order me around. See my reply at the WrestleMania XXV page. Nobody said it was the 24th WrestleMania. They are saying that it is the 24th anniversary of WrestleMania, and they're right. WrestleMania 1 was the first WrestleMania. WrestleMania 2 was the first anniversary of WrestleMania. WrestleMania 3 was the second aniiversary of WrestleMania. Count on up and you'll find that WrestleMania 25 is the 24th anniversary of WrestleMania, not the 25th like WWE is claiming. Stop insulting people on talk pages and claiming that they are making things up simply because you disagree with them. Everyone will be a lot less inclined to listen to and discuss it with you, because of it. ♥

No. I never said that. I never even implied that. You're understanding the distinction between the event number and which
anniversary it is. WrestleMania was the 20th WrestleMania to be held; however, it was only the 19th anniversary of WrestleMania. I am not saying that WrestleMania 20 was WrestleMania 19, and neither is anyone else. ♥

No, we're not. You're still not getting the distinction between an event, and the
anniversary of an event. They're different, and that's where your confusion is coming from. ♥

That's what I'm saying. It's the 25th year of WrestleMania but the 24th anniversary of WrestleMania. That's what everyone is saying. And please stop starting new sections on my talk page, you can just add your comment to the bottom of the old one. ♥
