Resist much, obey little!
Welcome!
editStandard policy on Wikipedia dictates that the first message on you usertalk page be a welcome message, so WELCOME! I'm hoping you decide to stay. They have some links on how to create articles and stuff, which I can send you from my talk page. Now to answer your question.
USERBOX CREATION
There is a special page here, Wikipedia: Userboxes. This is the repository page for every category of userbox. There are categories for leading to boxes of subjects you are interested in, such as television programs, subjects in school, favorite books, movies, etc. Simply click on the internal link (blue lettering) to the page of the category you are interested in. It is two-column in format. You will see what the userbox looks like on the right-hand column. On the left-hand side is some text code in {{ }} brackets, each code correlating to the userbox at the left. Simply highlight that with your cursor, press ctrl-c to copy it, go to your userpage and press ctrl-v to paste it.
You will probably want to organize your boxes, so you'll have to type in a special code. Type in "Userboxtop" in between double {{ }} brackets. Under that, type "Userboxbottom" in identical {{ }} brackets. Simply sandwich all the userboxes you want in between those two lines of code. So it looks like "Userboxtop" - (Userboxes) - "Userboxbottom".
There is also a special category of userbox called Babel which denotes any foreign languages you speak, plus your native language. The programming for a Babel box requires syntax programming. I can upload one to your page if you want to display your knowledge of languages.
That should cover userboxes. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with! Again, welcome! --Jeremie@theLab 01:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- Excellent userbox selection! I was just about to give you a huge sampling of every category, but I see you're fine now. Happy editing! --Jeremie@theLab 02:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

All The King's Men
editDid you hear about that new Sean Penn movie about the Louisiana governor, All the King's Men? I think it looks really interesting. I'm going to try and see it. How about you? Jeremie@theLab
- Yeah that movie looks good. Sean Penn is a great actor, especially in Mystic River. I wanna see it but i kind of want to read the book by Robert Penn Warren first. I'm not sure. I really want to see the Departed, the new Scorsese flick coming out Oct. 6. -- Resist much, obey little! 14:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi from Lyoko
editI don't have much more time, so I'd better hurry with this; Are you planning on sticking around on Wikipedia, making comments and the like? I'd enjoy making new friends! Good conversation starters with me are Code Lyoko, my fanfic (I guess I can call it that, it has a lot in common with CL) and anime in general. See ya! -- Aelita@Lyoko 22:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Woof!
editHi, Resist Much! I'm glad you're on! I, too, am a fan of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings; I've seen all the movies, read all the books, and I'm sold for it! -- K-9 LVR 02:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
