Welcome to Sharkface217's Command Center. Here I keep all the neat little tools and gadgets I need to edit and maintain Wikipedia.

To Do List edit


Tags to Remember edit

{{USN-stub}} is for US Navy stubs

{{mil-ship-stub}} is for individual military ship stubs.

Stuff to remember in AFDs edit

Generic comments edit

Comment I think everyone involved here needs to step back and take a deep breath. Oh, and remember that one should do onto others as they would have done onto themselves. --Sharkface217 04:34, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

'''Comment''' I think everyone involved here needs to step back and take a deep breath. Oh, and remember [[WP:CIVIL|that one should do onto others as they would have done onto themselves]]. --~~~~

Emoticons edit

Also called smileys, these emoticons are useful for adding emotional expression to text messages. Definitely not for use in articles, but suitable for enhancing messages on talk pages, especially user talk pages. They can also be used as menu icons and user page art.





You can help improve the articles listed below! This list updates frequently, so check back here for more tasks to try. (See Wikipedia:Maintenance or the Task Center for further information.)

Help counter systemic bias by creating new articles on important women.

Help improve popular pages, especially those of low quality.
