WikiProject Xbox

I was wondering if you would consider making a moving advertising box for us, like you did for playstation. I was on The Playstation Project and I saw the design you made for them; a very nice design too; and that would be perfect for our page. Please let me know.

Reference generator

Miranda, thank you so much for the tip about the reference generator that you left at my RfA. I have just redone all the citations on Cannons (house) - what an improvement! Thanks again, kind regards, nancy (talk) 08:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I am glad that you liked tool. miranda 08:46, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Did you know...

...that your name is an anagram of "in drama"? :D – Gurch 16:01, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Obsolete point. So...what's new? Did you create any articles today? :-P miranda 21:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Can I nominate you for admin. I saw your last nomination and you weren't like that to me when I made a mistake.--Baitt (talk) 18:15, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Alpha Kappa Alpha featured article

Miranda, thanks for your note and congrats on having this be a featured article! You did so much work on it. Glad to contribute.--Parkwells (talk) 14:19, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Yep. Banner ad.

Hi. Can you please make an ad for my WikiProject? It should say: Interested in Aquatic Invertebrates? After that, it says: Join Wikiproject Aquatic Inverts! Please use pictures from the project itself. User:Jourdy288/Wikiproject_Aquatic_Inverts

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jourdy288 (talkcontribs) 00:16, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Can you make the link for my Wikiproject on the ad? I already made the GIF, so all you have to do is link it to the project page.

No. Too big. Plus I have already made the ad. miranda 02:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:FOLCharmcast.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:FOLCharmcast.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Note: The claimed fair use was for an article it wasn't used on. I changed the article specified in the rationale and removed the tag. Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 22:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay. Thanks. miranda 00:50, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Bit of help please

Hi Miranda,

I saw ur Tips on making Ads. Very helpful. I think it would be nice if you could expand it and make it like a tutorial sort of thing, since this is probably the only resource/help for new admakers.

I was wondering if its possible to create an ad from gif images without using GIMP, which i'm not familiar with. Is it possible to create images on Paint or Photoshop and then put them together? Thanks. T/@Sniperz11editssign 13:43, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

You can try with Paint, but it would look crappy. Probably so in Photoshop. Don't have time to make a tutorial. You may want to contact GIMP developers. Cheers. miranda 14:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Xbox

I was wondering if you could make me a Wikiproject Xbox ad like the Playstation one you made. Thanks.--Blackwatch21 (talk) 19:30, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

  Not done I uninstalled GIMP, and Xbox is copyrighted. miranda 20:20, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Ok, but you dont have to act tough by putting   Not done.--Blackwatch21 (talk) 21:01, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Hmmm...and that seals the deal. miranda 21:05, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Fucking horrifying

Since the expletive here is just an intensifier, is it really indispensible? I think omitting just the one word doesn't diminish the word horrifying. / edg 04:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I reinserted the word. miranda 05:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I was kinda suggesting leaving it out. While like many bio subjects MacFarlane may use profanity in casual conversation, I think the memorable phrase collossal dick move should represent just fine. / edg 05:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Might want to ask on the talk page to generate a consensus. miranda 06:06, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I figured if you and I agreed on this, that would be enough. Not that big a deal either way. / edg 16:56, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Hullo

Noticed you tried to reach me on IRC, caught me while I was at work. Anything I can help you with? Q T C 06:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
