No, this site is not designed to do things like that. You would need to create a web site of your own if you want to post homework assignments. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 02:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

The message on my talk page edit

Huh? :) Xiner (talk, email) 01:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I didn't remember your wish. You're right! Xiner (talk, email) 01:44, 29 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
I'm not even a Wikipedia:Administrator. :) As long as you keep your posts constructive then there's no problem with multiple accounts. Btw, have you noticed that your signature doesn't link to your user page? Not very convenient for me. :) Xiner (talk, email) 02:05, 29 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

to get on the page edit

this is just to get me to the Helpme page

This tag is only to be used when you actually need help. I believe what you are looking for is the link: Help:Contents or possibly the help desk. Please only add the tag when you need help :) Sorry for being terse. GofG ||| Contribs 01:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Main Page edit

How do u get a request on a main page for an artical? (ie,Guitar Hero II)

[[Wrestling Maniac]] 03:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

If you're trying to request an image, see Wikipedia:Requested images. Otherwise, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. --ais523 12:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I don't quite get what you mean either. Can you please rephrase your question? Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 13:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
Oh, right. Pages on the Main Page are selected among featured articles. Since Guitar Hero II is not currently a featured article, you'll have to work on it to make into a featured article; see the page above for some hints and directions.

Giotto edit

No. Vasari who wrote about Giotto said that he had a wicked sense of humour and was always making jokes.

The problem there is that it wasn't his picture that he painted the fly on. When he was just a kid, he was put in charge of minding the sheep. One day the most famous painter in the city of Florence came by and saw him scratching a picture of one of his sheep onto a rock. The artist, Cimabue, was so impressed that he asked the boy's father if he could teach him. The family moved to Florence and Giotto started to learn all about painting. One day when Cimabue was out of the studio, Giotto painted a fly on the nose of the figure that Cimabue was painting. When he came back, he tried to shoo it away. Then he painted over it.

The painting probably doesn't exist anymore. In fact there are only a tiny number of Cimabue's paintings in existence, may six or seven.

{{helpme}} wat is it and am i @ risk

You can read about it in a closeby online encyclopedia. And no, only users not logged in can be traced under normal circumstances. If a user is suspected of foul play though, a check user can be done by specially trusted admins. henriktalk 12:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
