User talk:Quatreryukami/Archive Apr 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome! Hello, Quatreryukami, and Welcome to Wikipedia! I saw some of your recent edits and I think you'll be a great contributor. As Wikipedia states on its Main Page, it's the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. It currently has 6,828,207 articles, though this number is self-updating and goes up each day. If you really like it here, you might want to make a donation to Wikipedia, as it is a non-profit organization. You might also consider joining one of Wikipedia's sister projects. Have a nice time, and don't let the grumpy users scare you off!

Useful Links/Policy Wikipedia has a lot of policy that you should or must follow. Wikipedia:Avoiding common mistakes is a good place to start off, and so is this. Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines gives a good overview on policy. Wikipedia:Vandalism is the policy on Wikipedia vandalism, and the blocking policy tells you what you have to do to get blocked. Wikipedia:Sockpuppets has the general guidelines on sockpuppeting. Wikipedia:Userboxes has a directory of userboxes, which some users disagree with but I personally like. Wikipedia:New contributors' help page is a good place to get help from more experienced editors, and Wikipedia:Naming conventions will help you with your first article. There is a lot more, but you can find it out on your own.

Words of farewell I hope this information hasn't overwhelmed you. As you become more experienced, maybe you'll take my shoes and welcome new users like I'm doing right now. Keep up the great editing, and maybe, someday, you'll reach up and attain the rank of administrator! If you need more information, there are a variety of kind users that can help you, and if you ever need any real help, just put {{helpme}} on your talkpage, and someone will be there in a few minutes! Don't be shy to ask a question; all of us were new at some point, and even I ask questions! If you have a question for me, don't hesitate to give me a yell!

Response to Your Question about Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I made the same response on my talk page, but I thought I'd leave the message here just in case you do not see it there.

I did remove the vandalism. However, I reverted to a version of the page that I believed to be non-vandalised, but that version was vandalised as well. This was not in the edit difference section, and I did not notice my error until another user reverted it to the correct version. I did not vandalise the page. Hope that clears it up for you, and I'm still deciding on whether or not to accept the nomination. JONJONAUG 19:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

RFA

Hi. I noticed you seem to be trying to nominate yourself over at requests for admin. Just thought I'd drop by and caution you that with less than 500 edits you are not likely to succeed. People tend to look for candidates who have been around for months and made thousands of edits in all namespaces. Why not wait a while and watch what goes on with other candidates before you try. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 20:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, good luck then! ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 20:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• I agree. Just withdraw for now and try again when you get more experience. Ganfon 20:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Hey, as long as you're contributing, have a great knowledge of everything and have a good amount of Wiki edits...I can't see not supporting you. :) Ganfon 21:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Dir En Grey

Hello, I'm afraid I have to decline your request for my name (just my policy on these things, nothing personal), but thanks a lot for your message! It's great to get some positive feedback now and then, especially since some of those edits took quite some time and effort to make. Have a nice day - Cyrus XIII 06:01, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Well, there are the links in the References section and from then on it's pretty much the band's official site and of course all the releases. - Cyrus XIII 14:11, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Reporting a vandal

When a vandal has vandalised past the level 4 warning, report him at WP:AIV (Administrator's intervention against vandalism). He will then be blocked shortly thereafter. - Gilliam 16:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Helpme request

{{helpme}}

I want to give someone a Barnstar for constant edits and rewrites. how?

There are instructions on Wikipedia:Barnstar. --ais523 17:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Help me

what is the template for warning a vandal?Quatreryukami 16:07, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Take a look here. That'll give you an idea of some templates to use, Metros232 16:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Help me! (again)

I need some help creating a user box. I need it to have the wiki logo and say This user has failed the Request for Adminship x times. thx.Quatreryukami 16:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't recommend you make a new userbox — my personal view is that we don't need more. But if you do want to, the instructiosn are at WP:UBX#Constructing_a_userbox. I hope that this helps.—msh210℠ 17:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Sure, I'll adopt. As for the questions above, feel free to begin firing away. Within reason, of course :) — Deckiller 00:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll help give your userpage a makeover, and then you can fill everything in from there. By the way, it might be best to put a link to your userpage and your talkpage into your signature. You can do this by clicking on "my preferences", and editing your signature. I'm fairly certain you have to have raw signature clicked, as well. — Deckiller 22:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, if you have AIM, we can talk over IM. My AIM/AOL is SonOfYoungwood. — Deckiller 22:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

In looking at your userpage, it's going to be quite difficult to get a similar design because of all the from scratch userboxes. If you have some ideas as to what you are willing to sacrifice and what you'd like to add to your userpage, feel free to say. — Deckiller 22:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, well, how do you exactly set up or start a user talk page?

Thanks for the AIM; I should be online later today. — Deckiller 17:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• Okay; I've gotten replies from two other users, so I guess I have my three :) If you have any more questions, let me know. — Deckiller 13:04, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Signpost

Editing for the Signpost is easy. When you see a Wikipedia issue that you think should be covered, post in the newsroom your intention to write about it (sometimes, if I see a story I think should be covered, I'll post it there, and other users can write about it). Stories are due around 17:00 UTC every Monday. Ral315 » 05:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Your comments on the RfC

I wanted to drop you this note because I saw your comment at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Doc glasgow. Please do not think that your comment is unwelcome or your voice will not be heard just because you are not an administrator. Every contributor is entitled to make their feelings known on these types of issues, and it is definitely not the case that everyone who posted an outside view on that page was an administrator. (I am now, but I wasn't until last month, and it doesn't change what I would have written before then.)

Incidentally, you make some good points, but I don't agree with everything you wrote, and I hope you read and considered what I had to say as well. Regards, Newyorkbrad 15:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Protection

Hi; sorry it took me so long to respond, becuase it's been really hectic lately. It looks like someone has protected the pages already. — Deckiller 15:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Geoff Lapaire

Honestly, there was almost no information about Geoff Lapaire on the previous Geoff Lapaire page. There's almost a dozen mentions of his name on the Pure Pwnage page. In the end there is far more information about him there than there was on the separate page. (From the Pure Pwnage page I see that he plays two characters, not one, directs the thing, that he's a musician, and that there was a mystery for a while over his connection to the thing. That's a lot more than was in the sub-stub separate article on him.) When this is the case, there's really no purpose in there being a separate page.

None of this is a judgement on whether there *should* be a separate article on him. But the article that was there was definitely inferior to the Pure Pwnage, IMHO. If you want to write up a full article on him, go for it. Especially useful would be info that has nothing to do with Pure Pwnage. Pure Pwnage mentions somewhere that he's a musician. Any more info on that? Date of birth? Place of birth? Where does he live now? Anything else he's done of note?

Does that make sense? - TexasAndroid 20:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Devil May Cry Wikiproject

I've responded to your comments on the DMC Wikiproject proposal. Feel free to respond. Cheers, Lankybugger 15:46, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding Devil May Cry's mythology...

There's not enough information to justify a seperate Weapons page. Likewise there's not enough to talk about Dante's various fighting styles or most of the other information you referenced... Wikipedia is not a game guide, afterall. Cheers, Lankybugger 17:46, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
