Pimp My Page

edit

Okay, but first I need to know a couple things. What are your interests, hobbies, favorite color, favorite food, and anything else that you like? :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 19:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Long list...get ready for tons of reading...

Interests - American History Golf Billiards Science-fiction/horror novels Film Music

Hobbies - Golf Billiards Writing Wikipedia, of course

Favorite color - Black

Favorite food - Pizza, including anything that won't kill me ten seconds after digestion

I would also like to become an Administrator one day, but I've have to help out a lot here. I have school during the day, but I usually finish that by noon. Just so you know, I'm going to Tucson, Arizona tomorrow afternoon and won't be back until Friday night. MichaelGriffin 19:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Okay, Cool...I have school to, but I'm Home-Schooled. So I'll probably have your Userpage done by Friday! So when you get back you can check it, Oh yeah and what time zone are you in? :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 19:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

But you can also check it throughout today and tomorrow, because I'll probably be working on it. :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 19:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have to re-write this since there was an edit conflict. No matter, though! I don't know what time zone we are in now (I really don't care), but I live in Arizona. We don't do DST. Also, I thought we could finish most of it by tonight if we work hard. It is only 12:17 at the moment.MichaelGriffin 19:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

You're an hour ahead of me, but Uhhhh...yeah I guess if we really tried we could do it! :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 19:21, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fantastic! I noticed the "About Me" section on your User Page, which is what I want. I want to keep it as simple as possible while not being too dull. MichaelGriffin 19:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I'm working on it now! :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 19:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much! I'll be on for the next couple of hours, so if you have any other questions about what I want, I'll be around. MichaelGriffin 19:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I have already added some stuff and I will work on it! :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 19:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Man, I have to go...I'll be back on in about two hours! :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 20:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I was looking around the site and found a list of Userboxes to choose from. If you have any ideas on how I can improve my User Page, please tell me. MichaelGriffin 21:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

If you look at this UserPage, you can see my work...If you want some thing like this just tell me! :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 21:58, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

As I said before, I don't want my User Page to be too "busy," if you know what I mean. Maybe I'll add some of my all-time favorite articles in a few minutes. I'm going to look through some other User Pages for inspiration. Thanks for your help so far, SupaSoldier. MichaelGriffin

I just changed my User Page a little bit. Thankfully, all of the links work. I forgot I had to put down the (#) sign in order to number them correctly. MichaelGriffin 22:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Nice...lol...Hey, I added some color, if you want a different one just tell me, if you need anything on your Userpage just tell me!

Two Questions: Favorite Band: Favorite Color: (other than black) :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 22:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Favorite Band: Queen

Favorite Color: Blue

MichaelGriffin 22:41, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I don't want to make your User page too "Busy", but If you need anything taken out or put in just ask! :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 22:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Queen picture

edit

I think it is best that you put the photo on the very top of my page, because it really does not look right in any other area. MichaelGriffin 22:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

If you don't want it just say so, If not I'll put it up there. :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 22:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I do want it, please. I cannot stress this enough, though: you have been a great help, and I thank you for all the work you've done. If you could put the picture at the top of my page, that will do it. I think I can handle all future edits. MichaelGriffin 22:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your Welcome

edit

Well, I'll add that last thumb of Queen back and be on my way. If you ever need help with anything at all, Please Ask! :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 23:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Userpage

edit

Hmmmm....I have an idea! Hang on a sec. :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 00:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I gave your Userpage a slight restoration (without color and long links)...I'm going to add the color, but that's all...If it still messes with your computer, tell me and I will take the color out. :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 00:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thannk you, SupaSoldier. I took out the Userboxes, which may have caused my computer to bug-out. I'm going to make a few more changes in the next hour. I apologize for all of the trouble. MichaelGriffin 00:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

No trouble at all! If we put the Userboxes in the right format, I bet it won't make your computer speed slow. The Color template that filled your entire Userpage up was probably the problem. :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 00:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Welcome Templates

edit

The welcome messages are always placed on the user talk page and substed. The most common templates are:

  • {{welcomeg}}
  • {{welcome}}
  • {{welcome2}}
  • {{welcome3}}

Do you know how substing works? If not lemme know and i'll give you a brief explaination. Goodnightmush 00:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

If you are not busy, please explain how substing works. M.G. In Da Hizzhouse 00:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hey sorry. Had to go right after I asked. Check out WP:SUBST for an explaination, it covers it as well as I can, its sort of a confusing concept. Also, I left out a crucial message, {{anon}} for anonymous editors (IP addresses) Goodnightmush 22:41, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much! It looks like I have a lot of reading to do! :D M.G. In Da Hizzhouse 22:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
