No problem! To change your signature, go to "my preferences" at the top right of any page. There, you'll see an option that says "signature." Enter how you want it to appear, using wikimarkup, and then check the box that says "Raw signature." For example, that box for me looks like this: '''[[User:Fbv65edel|Fbv]]'''[[User:Fbv65edel|65]]''[[User:Fbv65edel/Esperanza|<span style="color:green;">e</span>]][[User:Fbv65edel|del]]'' / [[User talk:Fbv65edel|☑t]] / [[Special:Contributions/Fbv65edel|☛c]] ||
, and it automatically adds the time stamp when I sign with four tildes (~~~~). Hope that helps! Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 16:28, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, you're already in Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user, so hopefully within a few days a Wikipedian who's seeking to adopt will come find you, but if you don't want to wait for somebody to come to you, you can check out Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's Area/Adopters, and just go straight up to an adopter and ask them. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 12:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
To wikfiy is to make something look like very specific to Wikipedia; that is, to include links, infoboxes (if relevant/necessary), categories, images (if appropriate), sections (if appropriate), etc. So beauty salon, as you can see, has absolutely no links, is a big chunk of text, is a WP:STUB, and is in only two categories besides the maintenance ones (however, two categories may be plenty). It is also unassessed by any WikiProject, as you can see on the talk page. So, add appropriate links, split it not necessarily into sections (since the article is kind of short), but into separate paragraphs (unless you greatly increase the length, and add something like a history section, notable salons, etc.), and find a free use image or make one (that is, you take a photo of a beauty salon yourself). Have fun! --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 19:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
It's my pleasure! If you ever have any more questions (though I see you've now been adopted), don't hesitate to ask me. I'll see you around, and good luck! --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 04:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I'd be happy to adopt you! Just post me any questions or comments on my Talk Page and I'll do my best to help you or point you in the right direction -- Tellyaddict 19:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey Real, I see you had a question on Tellyaddict's talk page about sending mass messages out to people in a certain WikiProject. You can use WP:BOTREQ to request a bot, or, if you have Windows, you can do it yourself using WP:AWB, which is also good for doing repetitive tasks that would manually take a lot of work (typo fixing, general formatting issues, etc.). However, unless you're sending out what will become a regular newsletter to members of the WikiProject, just write the message on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums, and the users who check that page the most (which are the ones you'll want) will respond. :) --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 00:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

You're being watched by MrDarcy, CCson, and Robotam. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AMrDarcy&diff=103650235&oldid=103461715 One of them will answer all of your questions. Until you make a "mistake". From there you'll be labeled a sockpuppet. [1]. Maybe you'll pass the check user [2] ; but most likely you'll be gone... Maybe you can give an opinion on the deleted Charles C. Poindexter undelete request [3] . All the best. 172.194.78.174 00:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
click on the first link and you'll see "Please keep an eye on Real96 who appeared mid January and immediately immersed in editing the black fraternities and of course Sigma Pi Phi. User also seems quite familiar with wiki policies, creating templates and categories, etc. a great feat for a new user.--Ccson 18:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)" . The 3 previously listed individuals will if they think you're going against what they believe in, will try to have you taken down and blocked. 172.194.78.174 00:26, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I don't know what article you're referring to. Can you tell me which one? Sounds like I may have nipped your edit while dealing with something else. | Mr. Darcy talk 03:10, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
This edit (visible only to admins, as I deleted it entirely) would seem to indicate a connection here. | Mr. Darcy talk 01:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
(reduce indent) Please see this:
Why did you revert my edits if the user is clearly making a NPA attack and violating "no original research"? For the second time, I am not MyKungFu! Real96 03:06, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
You reverted my edits because you thought 1.) I was MyKungFu and 2.) I gave an inappropriate warning to an IP address. I am not trying to act uncivl, but am trying to help out. I will be back next week. Please click on the links for clarification. Real96 03:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
This edit (visible only to admins, as I deleted it entirely) would seem to indicate a connection here. | Mr. Darcy talk 01:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
(reduce indent) It doesn't matter anymore, because I have already warned the user and the user hasn't done an edit since I warned him. Real96 01:38, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, you asked why a checkuser was being run on you, if it came back negative then you have nothing to worry about because you wont' be blocked. I'd suggest leaving a direct comment here on the user who requested your checkuser. The ckeckuser doesn't seem to show any IP address though. They seemed to do this as you and another blocked user spelt the word definitaly the same way (it's actually spelled definitely) and that they think you know the policies and stuff well etc. Anyway I wouldn't worry because if you have done nothing wrong then you wont get blocked from editing wikipedia. Any more problems feel free to contact me on my talk page!!! Tellyaddict 10:19, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Instead of having that text though you may wish to add this | after the archives 1 bit and then write a date there so it makes it easier for users browsing. For more info see Here. Hopes this solves your problems! Tellyaddict 11:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
well, despite all of the above ... welcome aboard! I'm afraid that my priorities are elsewhere than translating, but it sure would be great if you're good at it and interested! The bigger problem is that, it looks like, a lot of Latin America/Spain pages did get translated in a hurry at an earlier part of Wikipedia's life, and they really need cleaning up to better English; this clean-up will go better if it's done by someone who can check the Spanish Wikipedia while they're doing the clean-up. You interested? Again, welcome aboard!
PS: you can learn how to "archive" the above material so that it's off your main talk page, and you don't have to stare at it every time you go to get a message. EspanaViva 23:07, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I'll help out when you need me, but striving to create "featured articles" on Wikipedia has lost its luster to me. So this is pretty much going to be your ship to steer, and I'll be battening down the hatches. You might be interested in picking up a few books on Motown from the library or the bookstore - you'd be appalled how much of Dreamgirls isn't all that fictional.--FuriousFreddy 23:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
You could try nominating it for WP:GA at the good article candidates page. Cbrown1023 talk 00:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Semi-protected - thanks for the heads-up! | Mr. Darcy talk 16:23, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey Real, thanks for your message. I wouldn't mind you using my dog's picture, but he's not actually a golden retriever. :) Many people think he's a golden retriever and sometimes when people see him in the car they ask if he's a lab pup, but he's actually a 13-year-old corgi cross!

An editor has nominated Momma Said Knock You Out, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Do You Have Love For New York? and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Hahahaha...! Finally I shall give up and declare myself to be officially Wikipediholic despite my attempt to go on a proper WikiBreak. Give me a weekend, I'll work on something new over the weekend for my talkpage. XD - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 13:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Miranda/A for your Support! |
Sorry about that bit of stupidity. I'll try not to make up excuses, and I realize now I should've went to Jtervin's page. I was just a bit annoyed with how many episodes there were and wasn't thinking straight. (: Babylon pride 22:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Is there any way to get an admin's immediate attention to block the IP? I've been reverting for probably 10-15 minutes now at Hollaback Girl, No Doubt, and Nicole Scherzinger. ShadowHalo 09:02, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
