Adoption

edit

I noticed you were looking for someone to adopt you. If you'd like, I'd be happy to adopt you. Even if not, feel free to ask me any time you have a question about anything on Wikipedia. You may reply here or on my talk page. Happy Holidays, Dar-Ape 23:19, 24 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Templates

Holiday cookies for you!

All of the templates can be found by starting at Wikipedia:Template messages (WP:TEMP). For article templates like NPOV, see Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup (WP:TC), and see Wikipedia:Template messages/Deletion (WP:TDEL) for speedy deletion tags. Hope these links help!

Jurgen Schnake - notability

edit

Hi Mr Bouncy,

You have walked into a pre-existing discussion about the desirability of having a Jurgen Schnake page. As the author of that page I cannot remove it, only remove what I wrote. One editor has suggested that he doesn't meet the notability standard and I agree. In addition I have agreed with Mr Schnake to remove anything which I have writtena about him, and so I would ask that you do not reinstate that text again. I, the author, am withdrawing it.

Thanks mahābāla 09:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Userboxes

edit

Anytime you want to right justify something, just type in <div style="float:right"> before it, and then </div> after it. So you user page would look like this:

<div style="float:right">

USERBOXESGOHERE ::

</div>

For more ideas on formatting userboxes, take a look at Wikipedia:Userboxes#Grouping userboxes. Let me know if you have any other questions! Best, Dar-Ape 22:31, 28 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Help!

edit

Is there a way to have an image link to a page other than the image's page itself? Thanks!

It sounds to me like you're looking for {{click}}. You can see modified versions at work on User:Luna Santin or User:Essjay. Using such a template on anything other than a userpage or the occassional project page is pretty widely discouraged, though, just to be sure you're aware. If thaaat wasn't what you were looking for, then prefacing your link with a colon, as here: Image:Example.jpg will link to an image without displaying it (this is also useful for categories). Hopefully one of those two answers your question. Cheers! Luna Santin 11:23, 29 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Activity

Mr. Bouncy, I noticed that you haven't contributed in a while, nor have you had any questions for me for a while before that. My door is always open, but unless you feel you still need me on a regular basis for help, I am going to un-adopt you so that I may focus on other users needing adoption and regular assistance. Thanks, Dar-Ape 19:50, 18 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations!

Hello Mr. Bouncy and thank you for you comment on my entry (ie. MarketingScoop.com). I would like to provide a listing regarding the website that is non-promotional. The site offers free resources for marketing professionals. I've noticed a number of other websites listed in Wikipedia as well so I'm wondering how I can document this site which launched in 2004.

thanks, Michael michael.fleischner@petersons.com

Hello!

edit

Hello again, Mr. Bouncy! How have you been? I was browsing by your userpage when I noticed it said "This user is proud to have been an Adopter of Dar-Ape." I'm flattered by the thought, but I would change the wording on this a bit-- right now it seems to say that you adopted me, not the other way around. I will leave the matter in your capable hands. All the best, Dar-Ape 02:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
