User talk:Micro101/Archive 1

Welcome to Wikipedia

Welcome!

Hello, Micro101, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome! Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 01:56, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Lower Elements

I undid your 'merge'. Please read Help:Merging to see how to correctly merge a page. It involves taking the wikiformatted material and copying it into the target page, then editing the material so that it fits well into the target without swamping it, and then redirecting the source page to the target page. This must be noted in the edit summary to comply with Wikipedia's content licensing. Fences&Windows 01:31, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Who's I?

I'll try to redo my merge by using your link, but who's I?

"I" is the speaker or writer, referred to as the grammatical subject of a sentence. Fences&Windows 17:28, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey! Could you tell me what I did wrong during my merge?

Userbox

Hello, Micro101, I noticed you removed a userbox from my userpage. Could you please explain why? Thanks, Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 23:24, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Talkback

Hello, Micro101. You have new messages at Ks0stm's talk page.
Message added 23:36, 13 December 2009 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 23:36, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Userbox

You asked a question about userboxes on Ks0stm's talk page, what box did you need? Please provide:

• border color
• picture/left side font size
• left side background
• left side text (or above picture)
• left side text color
• right side text color
• right side text size
• right side background color
• right size text

Thanks,  fetchcomms☛ 00:00, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Here:

This user eats bagels.

For example? Which of his userboxes are you referring to?

For the signature, go to your user preferences and you can insert the Wiki-code (up to 255 characters max.)

Also, please try to add new messages at the bottom of my talk page, not the top. Thanks,  fetchcomms☛ 00:14, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Look at the code when you edit this page :) ☛ is a character supported by most fonts. Don't forget to sign your messages!  fetchcomms☛ 00:24, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Again, look at the code when you click the edit button for this page. If you look at the userbox's code, there is an image under the |id section. Also, please don't forget to sign your messages!  fetchcomms☛ 01:31, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Privacy

Do you want to be revealing your real name? See Wikipedia:Anonymity and Wikipedia:Wikipedia is anonymous. Fences&Windows 22:06, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Userbox tables

Here's the markup: {{Userboxtop|Userboxes}}
<!--Begin of first userboxes group-->
<table class="collapsible" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%;background:transparent;color:inherit;;">
<tr><th class="navbox-title">Title1</th></tr>
<tr><td>
{{Userbox here}}
</td></tr>
</table>
<!--Begin of second userboxes group-->
<table class="collapsible autocollapse" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%;background:transparent;color:inherit;;"><nowiki>
<tr><th class="navbox-title">Title2</th></tr>
<tr><td>
{{Userbox here}}
</td></tr>
</table>
{{Userboxbottom}}

This is what it looks like -->

Userboxes

Title1
{{Userbox here}}

Title2
{{Userbox here}}

Easier collapsed boxes are like this:

Help?

If you think that you can help the user, you can just go ahead and do it yourself :) However, no offense, but you are still rather new and there are a few things you did wrong:

• Your own signature should be something like your username, Micro101. METALMAN isn't really clear on who you actually are.
• Just typing the 4 tildes doesn't help (it just makes your signature without showing how!). Use the tag: :<nowiki>~~~~ (look at the code).

Also, you might just want to direct that user to the Wikipedia:User page design center page. Thanks for helping though,  fetchcomms☛ 22:09, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Name Change

I just wanted to change it. If you would like to have your name as Mr. Moose, go right ahead. P Carn (talk) 22:29, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Did you remember to put the size parameter? It was in that link.  fetchcomms☛ 21:32, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Concerned

I am a little concerned. "Hey, Micro 101 here, if you want to start contributing to Wikipedia, start by making your User Page. Making and managing your user page will give you a feel for editing and making new articles. So, don't jump in right away. Talk to User: Fetchcomms for advice for your user page." Could you please refrain from doing that? Firstly, you may want to see WP:NOTMYSPACE. Secondly, you shouldn't offer me up to help others with their userpages—I'm often busy with other items too. "So don't jump in right away" makes it sound like they aren't wanted here. I understand your spirit, but please, try to be a little more careful. You might want to familiarize yourself with actual content editing before working on your userpage much.  fetchcomms☛ 23:23, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

It certainly can't hurt to join a WikiProject, but it is something you have to be committed to.  fetchcomms☛ 23:42, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Er, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but you might want to familiarize yourself with some editing before offering advice to other new users such as this, this, and this. I'm not trying to say you shouldn't help others, but your advice isn't very... correct in many places. Also it seems like you are following users I have interacted with. That's not incorrect, but I would ask that you please refrain from doing so. I feel bad saying this, but I think you should read our guidelines, start editing some articles, and get used to the community first. Thanks,  fetchcomms☛ 23:29, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

I second what Fetchcomms is saying...read the links in the welcome template I put on your page, and find some articles to edit. Your edit count has a horrible proportion, when it should look more like this or this, or preferably, this. And please stop giving me advice about things such as giving out my name. Thanks, Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 03:00, 23 December 2009 (UTC) P.S., see WP:ADOPT. Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 03:02, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

December 2009

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to the page User:Vesiv. Blank pages are malicious to Wikipedia as they often confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate revision. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please use the deletion process for how to proceed. Minimac94 (talk) 20:31, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 13:34, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

If you need help

Hey there, Micro 101. I just noticed you did a small edit change to my talk page, and because your a new user on Wikipedia, you might want some help. You might want to take a look at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page for some help and advice about editing. Vrabu (talk) 20:12, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Re Chuck Norris

I just think that people throw around words like "homophobe" without considering what they really mean. A phobia is an overpowering fear of something. I don't believe he has a fear of homosexuals. I just feel he doesn't agree with the premise of same sex marriage. I can disagree with something without being afraid of it and should be able to express that disagreement without having someone label me with some ridiculous, improperly used term. As for the firearms question....both are fine weapons, but neither would be my first choice for most things. I don't have a favorite per se. I believe different firearms serve different purposes. Niteshift36 (talk) 00:05, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Explain what you were doing here. I've now reverted you. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 14:15, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Give a diff saying that he didn't want the box there. If he didn't, he could easily have done it himself. As for birds, golden eagle. Where do you think I got the image on my user page from? However, I much prefer jade falcons. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 16:04, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

I never said I didn't want it.... I like it there.  fetchcomms☛ 18:27, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! But for future reference, it is generally considered vandalism when you remove things you did not write on others' talk pages. As Thejadfalcon said, if I didn't want it, I would have removed it myself (instead of just writing it there and not doing anything...)  fetchcomms☛ 18:50, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Instead of trial and error, why not just read the guidelines and policies? It only gets ugly because people are frustrated that you sometimes don't seem to have read them. Also, he just forgot to update his counter, and such things are trivial and don't matter. My advice is, go edit articles for a while (like a month).  fetchcomms☛ 19:04, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

You really couldn't find any? Are you sure? Policies and guidelines.  fetchcomms☛ 19:13, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Archiving

A good place to try is the search bar. Also, a lot of Wikipedia things will be linked like WP:ARCHIVE. The real page is Help:Archiving a talk page.  fetchcomms☛ 18:17, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

MiszaBot

I've set the bot to remove any thread older than seven days. I've also moved all the old threads back to prevent the different archive types (this type of coding puts everything into one big lump) from explodinating. MiszaBot will take until tomorrow to get around to you. Let me know if you want me to alter the amount of days or if you want me to have MiszaBot put threads into a month-by-month archive. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 20:49, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

(facepalm) Damn, sorry. I failed with the coding (altered the wrong part of a link) and confused MiszaBot. It'll appear tomorrow. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 15:34, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

hello defender of cyberspace, thanks for the message thing. Cheers, Malke :D Malke2010 15:24, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Micro101, since you seem so tech savvy, would you be kind enough to help me fix my status button on my talk page? I'd appreciate it.Malke2010 16:59, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Status button working fine.Malke2010 19:01, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

XD. Our Ninja man is waiting for the invasion from aliens that will wreck genocide upon us humans. I think they're headed his way, actually. Maybe it was something I said.Malke2010 18:58, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm on it. I'm out getting a new light saber, as we speak. Ninja man is planning on using this stuff: [1]. I'm thinking he should go higher tech than the XM107, and maybe add a nice black velvet cape to his ensemble.Malke2010 22:59, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Guestbook

Let's make a deal: I'll tell you when you get to 100 article edits. Check here.  fetchcomms☛ 16:20, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to be a little blunt here, but see this? You need to change it so the red part is where the purple is right now. I see that you've been chatting on talk pages more than you have editing, and I just want to remind you that Wikipedia is not Myspace. Please, please, try and write some articles.  fetchcomms☛ 20:13, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

There are some exceptions though. Take a look at mine. Most of my talk page messages come from the early days (where I needed help with practically everything) and, nowadays, vandal fighting. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 20:29, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but your count is still pretty healthy. Anyways, my point is, the chatting about ninja whatever needs to stop and the work on articles needs to start.  fetchcomms☛ 03:59, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Wikipedia is, after all, an encyclopedia.  fetchcomms☛ 21:38, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

You had a message...?  fetchcomms☛ 21:48, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Aw man, I forgot to hit the save button! Silly me. Anyway, I agree with you. This is an encyclopedia, not a chat cite. It doesn't hurt to exchange ideas once in a while, but they invented facebook and twitter for a reason.--21:52, 4 January 2010 (UTC)Microsoft 1000 Defender and Ruler of Cyberspace!

Thanks for understanding.  fetchcomms☛ 21:56, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I have known that for quite a while, and this is the sort of thing I was talking about...  fetchcomms☛ 22:41, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rictus

The article Rictus has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

It's a dictionary definition of one (specialised) meaning of rictus. I can't see that it could be made the basis of an encyclopaedia article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.   pablo_hablo. 11:24, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

United States men's national soccer team

Hi, I know that the times you posted are right, the problem is that the column {U.S. Goals (Goal #)} shows how many goals the player or players have scored with the national team and not the times when the goals were scored during that match. Regards --Bocafan76 (talk) 03:09, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the video link, I never heard of that match, but it is truly a weird match to say the least. Regards --Bocafan76 (talk) 00:02, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Japanese anemone

Hello, I have cleaned it up a bit. The last few sentences were too close to the original source and served no real purpose to the subject. Might I suggest proofreading over your article and finding more sources so as to expand the article?  fetchcomms☛ 02:47, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a ton for the help on the article. I usually click on Recent changes and look in the Articles requested and google it(yes I do it, but for the sake of Wikipedia!). Finally I want to award you this =) 8) :) :D BD B)!!!!

		The Helping Hand Barnstar
		Thank you so much in helping me out in Wikipedia! Microsoft 1000 Defender and Ruler of Cyberspace! 22:47, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

You know, for barnstars, people tend to put them on the talk page of the person recieving them. Otherwise, it looks like you're awarding it to yourself. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 00:03, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

That's correct (but thank you very much!) Also, you might find Template:Cite web to be of benefit, as it provides information about your sources. Also, try and invest in infoboxes and such. Good job and thanks!  fetchcomms☛ 00:37, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

50 is good for a start. Try for 100 :) Also, I prefer manual archiving (and ClueBot III is better, IMO).  fetchcomms☛ 22:25, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but don't forget to check up every so often. I have also expanded the article and nominated it for a DYK. Requested articles is a good challenge :)  fetchcomms☛ 22:56, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Lol. I guess that means I should respond there? ;) (I'll try to remember that for the future though.)  fetchcomms☛ 23:02, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

And again  fetchcomms☛ 23:52, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Eh, I had to remove the old templates because they messed up the formatting for some reason.  fetchcomms☛ 23:58, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Please don't follow me around or offer my help to others without asking me first, as you did to User:Pointkid. I would also suggest not offering help unless you have a good knowledge of the guidelines and policies, and as I've seen so far, I think you might want to work on that a bit.  fetchcomms☛ 23:37, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Once again, I have gloriously failed again! Anyway, the way you said it: As you did to User:Pointkid, makes it sound I insulted him.(sniffle). Oh could you help me start up Brittle asthma? Thanks!--Microsoft 1000 Defender and Ruler of Cyberspace! 01:26, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Not offended... And I think you can do well yourself. Just don't remove speedy deletion tags and do not directly copy information. I've noticed that you seem to be just copying stuff and changing a few words. That's not how you're supposed to do things, you need to completely just write it yourself.  fetchcomms☛ 13:41, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Brittle asthma

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Brittle asthma, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://fnsg.awardspace.com/brittle.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:24, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Brittle asthma‎. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. ttonyb (talk) 22:45, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't know, I don't change, others do. Also, I archive every 100 posts. Cheers, Abce2 (talk) 01:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello and welcome

File:Nudibranchia (Hamed Saber).jpg

Hello. I don't quite remember how you wound up on my watchlist, but you seem to be very enthusiastic. I see that you've edited a couple of flora/fauna articles. I also see that around 80% of your edits are to talk pages, etc. Project Gastropods could really use somebody like you. There are plenty of lovely animals that need articles, and plenty of articles that need to be expanded. Here are some examples of beautiful pictures with no articles. If you are interested, please join up. I will help you get started if you want. All the best to you. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:06, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Whoa there

Hello. You seem to be making some strange edits. You have accused an editor of sockpuppetry and have removed sourced information from an article. Until you gain more experience, I suggest that you direct your efforts to adding information to articles. And please don't post alerts on my talk page. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I wholly agree with Anna. Again, I think you need to read or reread the guidelines and policies, particularly those about creating articles (like Brittle asthma), verifiability and sockpuppetry.  fetchcomms☛ 00:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I take back the article things, but when I searched Sleeper's history, all of them were by alexsoddy. It also said the editor was concered(key word) but other than that, I'll follow your links.--Microsoft 1000 Defender and Ruler of Cyberspace! 00:26, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

... User:Alexsoddy redirects to User:Sleeper. Its probably an alternate account or rename. Not really much for a concern...  fetchcomms☛ 00:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Please delete

Since you are the one who created the page User talk:Sleeper and I dont need this page, please blank it. I dont use this talk page. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks Sasank Sleeper (talk) 23:15, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Copyright violations!

Do NOT copy material directly from other sites, no matter how much or little, as you did to Anemone hupehensis. This is not tolerated unless the source is not copyrighted, which is clearly was in this case.  fetchcomms☛ 21:30, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, but I'm confused about something. Did you say that the source is copyrighted or not. I'll learn! Oh, and I wanted the post on the talk page as a statement, not a post.--Microsoft 1000 Defender and Ruler of Cyberspace! 22:03, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

The source was quite clearly copyrighted (it had a (c) in the bottom left!). And such statements are useless... no one writes them.  fetchcomms☛ 22:10, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

When you think you have learned all there is to learn, you truly are an impossible!--me. Right now that quote applies to me.--Microsoft 1000 Defender and Ruler of Cyberspace! 22:15, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

A word of advice, you can never learn all there is here.  fetchcomms☛ 22:47, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Produce, produce, produce

Hi Micro. Well, that looks like a good start to the nudibranch article. Well done. Please continue. Ensure that the citation leads to the actual page where the info is from and not just to the home page of the site.

Again, just a reminder, please try to build articles. Last session you made 34 edits, with only 10 to articles, one of which was reverted as vandalism. [3] Give barnstars very sparingly, only when well deserved. A bit of friendly humour etc. is fine, as it makes Wikipedia a more enjoyable place to work. But this is not Facebook. The vast, vast, vast majority of what you should be doing here is "work", not designing your user page and giving out cookies.

I suggest that you stay away from catching sockpuppets, rating articles, reverting edits, etc. until you are sure of what you are doing. Watch what others do and learn before you get into that stuff. For now, produce, produce, produce. The nudibranchs await! Good luck. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:37, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Pteraeolidia ianthina

Another article in the mainspace! Good job. You are becoming a real Wikipedian. A couple of pointers: I suggest you give your stuff a good proofread. In Section titles, the first letter of the first word is capitalized, but not the others, unless it's a proper noun. If you pick a new gastropod to start, Google it and check for a common name. Then search that common name on Wiki to be sure you aren't starting an article that already exists. (actually not necessary with this stuff)

Let me know if you are enjoying making these gastropod articles. There are more you can do. Just ask if you get stuck. I will keep an eye on your sandboxes and do your taxoboxes until you get the hang of them.

Congratulations. I believe you are now entitled to display this spanking medal, by pasting this to your user page: {{SA-novice}}

I've started both in my sandboxes. All users can help too.--Microsoft 1000 Defender and Ruler of Cyberspace! 11:52, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I will help if I can, although right now I am busy most of the time with a couple of other tasks. By the way, I apologize for not leaving a note when I added some info to the previous article on your subpage, I hope that did not confuse you. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 15:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Apology accepted.--Microsoft 1000 Defender and Ruler of Cyberspace! 20:24, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Yay! Nice sea slug articles accepted too! Thanks, Invertzoo (talk) 01:37, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Constructive edits

I don't mean to stalk you. I'm just trying to help you and the project. If edits are unconstructive then somebody needs to spend time undoing them.

Maps are okay. You don't need to remove them.[4] If you make a link just to Elwood, it will go to a disambiguation page. Better is to make the link to Elwood, Indiana.[5] Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:26, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
