I am trying to get my user name taken off of the actual page when published and learn how to design a proper page with info boxes, pics, and such. Can you help me with that? I don't even know if this is how to properly write on this page to talk to you.16:46, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I probably can. First, make sure you sign your posts using four tildes (~~~~). As for your request, can you clarify what exactly you would like to do and what problems you are having? I am not sure I understand what you mean when you say "I am trying to get my user name taken off of the actual page when published." Eusebeus (talk) 21:50, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
What I would like to do I guess, and maybe I'm not even looking at the right page, but when I look at what I assume is the actual page, it has User: holmes1172 listed at the top, which is me. Normal pages are clean of something like that at the top. All I want to do, is do an entry with the standard info box on the right with a picture and bullet points below it, an index box on teh left with a listing of each section, a quick bio, and professional entry. Basically the normal stuff. I read through what we have on Wikipedia but can't seem to understand how this is done.Holmes1172 (talk) 20:22, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, I think I understand. You want to create a new article? If you can confirm this, I can certainly help you. Eusebeus (talk) 22:25, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Yes, that is what I would like to do. Can you help with that?Holmes1172 (talk) 15:26, 13 March 2010 (UTC) Could you help me construct my article? Holmes1172 (talk) 23:37, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
