MfD nomination of User:Basketball110

User:Basketball110, a page you created, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Basketball110 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:Basketball110 during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Esskater11 01:32, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

You don't need to worry about the above message. A deletion discussion was started for your blanked userpage, but was removed since it was simply some minor confusion. So basically.. nothing is happening related to deletion or pages you've made. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. -- Ned Scott 03:35, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Basketball110 (talk) 04:08, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Basketball110,

I went ahead and reverted your post-close comments on Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Basketball110, as the discussion is now closed and should be left alone as a record. However, if you want to delete your userpage (once again, there is no compelling reason to do this) or any future user-subpage, you can simply add {{db-userreq}} to the top of the page. This notifies administrators that you wish to have it deleted--in my experience, it's usually gone in a matter of minutes.

Once again, though, there is absolutely no need to do this. Even if you do decide to ask for a userpage deletion, you are encouraged to create another one in the future. --jonny-mt 06:53, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

(Speaking of encouragement, I've gone ahead and added a welcoming template below that you might find useful. Enjoy!) --jonny-mt 06:53, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Basketball110 (talk) 00:00, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Adoption

Hi there! Of course I'd be happy to adopt you. So, for starters, anything I can help with? Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 01:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

For images, you have to make sure that they are licensed in a manner that allows usage on Wikipedia; see this section for more details. In a nutshell, you can't use a copyrighted image unless you have hard proof (email, written letter) that the copyright owner has granted Wikipedia the use of the image. If the image you find specifically states it isn't copyrighted, or is copyrighted under a license that grants free reproduction/distribution, then you may use it on Wikipedia. Just be sure to state this on the Image page (again, see the above link).

For your userpage, what do you mean by organizing? Something like putting all your userboxes in a box and such? Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 18:45, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I whipped up a quick table for your userboxes. I'll add comments to show you how to use it, too. And I also did some cleanup work on the Tracy McGrady page; I'll post some things I think could be improved on the talk page, ok? Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 19:18, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Your userpage may still look the same; however, if you edit it, you'll notice some comments. They are rendered invisible by the <!-- prefix and --> suffix. You can use this system on any page; for example, to leave a note to future editors telling them to check the talk page of an article before they change a disputed section. Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 19:26, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

There are various types of citations; for the general article on them, see WP:CITE. Creating a citation is easy; however, finding references to cite can be hard. Remember that MySpace, Facebook and all other social networking sites are not reliable sources, and may not be used to prove a subject's notability. Likewise, blogs are not reliable. When trying to cite something, go for a newspaper, online news, or any reputable source (i.e. CNN, Time magazine). If you have more specific questions I'd be happy to answer them. Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 02:37, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

[[User:Basketball110|Basketball]][[User talk:Basketball110|110]]

That should do the trick. Of course, you can insert a space to make it easier to tell that the links are different, change the color of certain parts, change the font... I'd suggest going for something that isn't too attention-grabbing, though its your choice to make. To make your new sig, just go to your Preferences (Special:Preferences) and follow the instructions there. Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 22:30, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, my internet cut out yesterday and I was dead tired from work so I went to sleep before I could answer all of my talk page questions.

Now, references; I assume you've read up on what notable references are (eg. don't use Myspace or Facebook, etc.). Now, you have to find a template for citations; for example, {{citeweb}} (see all templates at Wikipedia:Citation templates). Then, just fill out the template according to the guide on it's page, place it on the end of a sentence, and you're good to go. To get the reference to show up, make a Reference header at the bottom of the article and put under it {{reflist}}.

Oh, and also there is a proper way to cite; generally, do it at the end of punctuation, with no spaces between the citation and the punctation, like this.[cite]

Hope that helps! Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 20:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, if you ever think you may have done something wrong feel free to ask me and I'll check for you. I've got faith in you, though, don't worry. :) Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 21:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Malformed FAC noms

Hi, Basetball110. In reviewing categories, I came across your two malformed submissions of articles to WP:FAC. You didn't follow the instructions for submitting an article to FAC, and the articles were never submitted correctly, although templates were left on the article talk pages at Talk:BMI and Talk:Dallas Mavericks‎. Also, more than one submission at a time is discouraged. I have put all the pieces in the right places, but I did not submit them to WP:FAC because neither of the two articles are close to featured status, and they wouldn't stand much of a chance. I suggest you consider peer review or good article instead. I will follow your talk page so you can answer here; I can help you remove the templates from those pages if you agree. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Basketball110 (talk) 19:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Hi there, with regard to your WPGM message how may I help? Parrot of Doom (talk) 01:25, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Done - look at the page again, you'll see a line of text at the bottom of the table that instructs you to place the copied code above that line. Simple mistake, easily done! Wiki can be complicated, it does my head in sometimes. Parrot of Doom (talk) 02:33, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Me'arah Sanaa O'Neal

A tag has been placed on Me'arah Sanaa O'Neal, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Kannie | talk 02:34, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Me'arah Sanaa O'Neal

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Me'arah Sanaa O'Neal, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Me'arah Sanaa O'Neal. slakr^\ talk / 02:46, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, in its current state there is nothing to make the article notable. Remember, notability isn't inherited; also, there are no citations or references, and there is next to no information in the article. All it says is that she is his daughter, and then presents a statement that is interesting, but is mainly WP:TRIVIA and doesn't add to the article.

So anyway, sorry, but I think the article should be speedied. If his daughter does something notable in the future it may be recreated. Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 02:49, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Happy holidays!

Whatever you celebrate, may it be filled with holiday joy. Cheers! Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 02:59, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think I'll make it that long. I may have to chain myself to the ground. Though I do plan on renting some movies to watch with friends, so I think I'll succeed. Cheers! Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 03:05, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I assume you want them to stay at the top right? Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 04:11, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to the project!

Hello, Basketball110/Archive 1, and welcome to Wikiproject Greater Manchester! Thank you for your generous offer to help contribute. I'm sure your input will be much appreciated. I hope you enjoy contributing here and being a Greater Manchester Project Wikipedian! As a project we aim to have all our articles compliant with the various editing policies and guidelines. If you are contributing an article, it is good practice to ensure that it’s properly referenced with reliable sources, otherwise any contentious content may be removed by another editor. A good starting point for articles about settlements in Greater Manchester is the WP:UKCITIES guideline. If you have any questions, feel free to discuss anything on the project talk page, or to leave a message on my own talk page. Please remember to sign all your comments, and be bold with your ideas. Again, welcome, and happy editing!

Adoption mk. II

So did you figure out why your computer didn't want to let you in? Usually I solve any problems with a cache reset, so that might help in the future. Now, as for that source; as the only source for that article it isn't very good. It also doesn't contain much information about the album, or it's reception. I did a Google search and couldn't find anything on the internet. As it stands, it'll probably get deleted due to lack of sources. Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 22:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Strange about your computer acting up... anyway, here's the Wikipediholic userbox; {{User Wikipediholic}}. Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 01:53, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I removed the trivia section from that article per WP:TRIVIA, as trivia sections are discouraged. However, in the future, if you'd like one reference to be the same as another, just type <ref name="Name">before a {{citeweb}} reference. For example; if <ref name="Basketball">{{citeweb|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Master_of_Puppets&diff=cur|title=Master of Puppets' talk page}}</ref> is a reference, and I want to use that later in an article, I'd just have to write <ref name="Basketball">.</ref>. They'll show up as [1] in the text, and one will be 'a', the other 'b', in the reflist. Hope that helps, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 19:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

What are you interested in protecting? I'd suggest reading over the protection policy and seeing if any protection plan (I feel like I'm in the cellphone business or something) fits the article you're thinking about. If it does, go to requests for page protection and follow the directions on that page to get an admin to help. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 07:07, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah. Well, if those requests pop up in the future, I'd say take the route of explaining the process to them; most people who haven't edited Wikipedia extensively have no experience with page protection and ask it for minor vandalism/problems; looking at the history of that page I can't see anything aside from the disputed images being added, but those were discussed on the talk page, so it seems to be good. And thanks, this is the signature type I've used a lot in the past. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 15:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Archiving your talk page can be done in several methods, all covered here. You could use the one I use (subpage archiving) or if you think another method would be better you could use that one. Hope that helps, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 20:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I fixed it. What you needed was a {{reflist}} template to collect the references and display them. Also, that article needs some expansion, or at least reliable sources to prove notability. In this form it isn't very stable. That's just my advice, however. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 19:53, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... orange would be hexadecimal value FFA500. For your sig, that would be [[User:Basketball110|<font color="#FFA500">Basketball110</font>]] or so. For a full list of colours go to Web colors#X11 color names. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 06:45, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

How does this look? Basketball110 Code for that; [[User:Basketball110|Basketball]][[User talk:Basketball110|<font color="#FFA500">11</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Basketball110|<font color="#FFA500">0</font>]]

It works when I preview it. Hope that helps, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 00:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh wow, I'm stupid. Really sorry; guess I didn't read your comment fully. [[Special:Contributions/Basketball110]] will provide a link to your contributions whereever you put it. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 01:51, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. :) Anyway, if there's anything more I can help with I'll be hanging around for a bit. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 01:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey,

I noticed that you're interested in Romania-related topics. WikiProject European History is currently collaborating on Transylvania. If you have anything to add or would like to discuss, we'd love to have your input.

Rudget!

Dear Basketball110, my sincere thanks for your support in my second request for adminship, which ended with 113 supports, 11 opposes, and 4 neutral. I would especially like to thank my admin coach and nominator, Rlevse and Ryan Postlethwaite who in addition to Ioeth all inspired me to run for a second candidacy. I would also like to make a special mention to Phoenix-wiki, Dihyrdogen Monoxide and OhanaUnited who all offered to do co-nominations, but I unfortunately had to decline. I had all these funny ideas that it would fail again, and I was prepared for the worst, but at least it showed that the community really does have something other places don't. Who would have though Gmail would have been so effective? 32 emails in one week! (Even if it does classify some as junk :P) I'm glad that I've been appointed after a nail biting and some might call, decision changing RFA, but if you ever need anything, just get in touch. The very best of luck for 2008 and beyond, Rudget. 15:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject European history

Great to have you on board and glad to see someone else is interested in Transylvania. I'm glad Bugbear brought you in. There is also a Portal:Transylvania that I saved from MfD last fall but haven't had the time or knowledge to maintain properly. Please take a look and see what we might be able to do with it too.

The blue is automatic because Wikipedia interlinks are preset to be blue; it is bold because it directs to your userpage, which you're already on. I'm not sure of the exact hex color: you could try '''<font color=blue>''' and see if that works. Maybe dark blue... Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 02:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... I'll see what I can do. I'll try to trim down that userbox so that you can modify it, too. It might take a while to find some sort of template that aligns properly, though; I apologize in advance for the wait. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 02:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

No, not at all! ☺ Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 22:28, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I simplified the userbox; it should be relatively self-explanatory now. I'll get to work on the filefolders in a bit. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 23:54, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I also put in a starter filefolder for you; play around with it a bit and see how you like it (it's at the beginning of your userpage). Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 00:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

There you go, it looks okay to me. Also, as a random note, if you like the icons I've been using on your page check out User:Master of Puppets/Icons. I didn't make those, but they're free use and quite handy most of the time. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 04:03, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem, happy to help! Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 23:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

You can create a WP:SUBPAGE (for example, User:Basketball110/Sigs) and sign your name there every time you change your signature. Then, just link to that page. I haven't forgotten about your templates by the way; still working on that. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 03:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I really like the blue/orange combo, and the sig is good; provides useful links and all. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 03:48, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

The userpage will look great if I manage to figure out how to fix this stupid table problem... sorry, the code, it frustrates me, haha. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 03:59, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, so I massacred your userpage. How does it look? Feel free to unleash scathing criticism. >_< Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 04:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Looks awesome! Just one note; the images for the filefolders are still Image:Example. If you want a few good, shiny images try User:Master of Puppets/Icons for some. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 05:15, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Stuffed kitten back in cage. I left some comments in the page itself, because you tried to replace the wrong image :P Don't worry though, no harm done. Also, I removed the edit links and added in something to fill the space, as it looks weird when empty. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 00:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah, sorry about that. Done! Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 00:48, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar! :) Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 01:06, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Caged cat; the problem was the text being a bit too big, so I made the tab bigger. Hope that helps, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 05:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Also, I see that Earthbendingmaster gave you the colour codes. To use them, just put the Hex value (the six digits or letters) after a # sign. For example, #32da32. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 06:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem, and what do you mean about my talk page? It looks ok to me... Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 21:25, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I think that's just a browser problem, as I'm using Firefox and it looks good. Have you tried clearing your cache? That might help. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 23:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:AIV is good; follow the format there, and for 'reason' I'd say "creating vandalism pages even though warned repeatedly" or something. However, wait to see if he does it again until reporting, as he may have stopped. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 00:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

The Beatles' Newsletter

It was stopped quite awhile ago. A pity, but there you go. Maybe it could be restarted? Ask kingboyk ('cos he's the man to talk to). Great to know that you are interested, BTW. :) Have a look at this and make a comment. --andreasegde (talk) 18:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello

Hello Basketballoneten. Looks like we have both been adopted by MoP. I like your user page. Though you might want to remove the edit link on each section, they are yelling out:"Click me click me". I almost could not resist.(oh well, haha). Earthbendingmaster 23:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Your welcome. Earthbendingmaster 00:10, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

There is. Would you like for me to give it a try. Though I might look better with it on. Perhaps you could compare? Earthbendingmaster 00:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Great idea. Thats sounds good. Earthbendingmaster 00:23, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I would have to try a couple times. Should be easy. That is what you want? Earthbendingmaster 00:29, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Looks like MoP already changed it. Do you want a link to your user page? Earthbendingmaster 00:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

There is no link to your user page right now. Do you want one? Earthbendingmaster 00:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes. I accidentally put user instead of talk. Sorry. Earthbendingmaster 00:42, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok. Looks like I don't have to play around a couple times then. When did you join wikipedia? Earthbendingmaster 00:47, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I joined around one year ago, but from January 2007 to November 2007 I believe I made less than 10 edits. So I do not really considered myself started until last month. Earthbendingmaster 00:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Really. Probably actually has other things to do on the internet then to edit wikipedia (haha). Earthbendingmaster 00:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much! But I only made suggestions, did not actually change it. Earthbendingmaster 01:07, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I suppose so. Thanks again! Earthbendingmaster 01:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Which codes? Do you mean these? Cheers. Earthbendingmaster 04:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank U

Thanks!.

Tiger

To do it, it would be much easier to get a book on tigers. I did this with lion and it made it much easier to reference. If you had a book, or when I find one, it will be a good time then. You thinking of going down to a library? cheers, Casliber (talk • contribs) 12:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

France

Yes they are indeed short new articles. The thing is at least five smaller wikipedias have had these articles for over three years. These have beee missing too long. It is easier to establish the pages and then build the articles upon it afterwards. Have patience and in time these will develop even fully and images infoboxes will be added etc will be available. You have no idea actually how much could be written for each of these All the best ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 16:00, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I archive my talk page at the end of every month. Only 4-5 days to go ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 16:06, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: WP:Military History

You say on my talk page you did not place the speedy deletion template on that page. Which is correct: I did. What was the warning for? --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 18:10, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay... So what's your problem? --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 18:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I created the redirect by moving the page to its proper place, and, after placing the template on the talk page of the original author, I put a speedy deletion template on my own redirect.

In situations like this, please do not place warning templates, regardless ofwhat the speedy deletion template says. The one you placed was misdirected. --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 18:25, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't know what hapenned to that template, but I believe which he was deleted in some request to delete templates; see here if this hapenned. Good work and cheers! --Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko (talk) 00:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

If you mean the image to your right (which I uploaded), there you go. If you mean the template above, it my an adaptation of the welcome template on the Main Page (and can be seen here). Feel free to use either

Cleanup?

Purely out of interest, what makes you think HMS Newark (1695) requires cleanup? Cheers. Martocticvs (talk) 17:10, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah - I see what you mean. They do actually link to where they're supposed to (I'm assuming that you hovered over 1741 proposals and saw that it said 1719 Establishment&edit) - it's because that particular link is using an anchor (1719 Establishment#1741 proposals) which doesn't show up until the article is created (something I have on my list of things to do, which is why I have been including links like that). Unless it was something else entirely hehe Martocticvs (talk) 17:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
