Userbox request

Hi Timdwilliamson, I was wondering if you could make a userbox with the text "This user is a Populist", similar to the one below But maybe just slightly taller, os a more standard height. I like the green color scheme (feel free to tinker with the color if it looks cooler) but could you add this image on the left: File:HueyPLongGesture.jpg. Could you use the version I uploaded with square dimensions.

POPThis user is a populist.

Thanks, I appreciate it.HAL333 22:47, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Attribution please

Hello, I have noticed that you and a group of other users have copied my "blue button link" idea. This is fine, but can you please credit me?

@CrazyMinecart88: Sure. What blue button are you referring to? - TimDWilliamson ^speak 20:01, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

"viet-am" Userbox

Your page tells me to check with you and not to edit it directly; I'm leaving this comment as you seem to have made a mistake in /ubx/viet-am (don't worry, this is just a fork of the ubx with the mistake highlighted). If you want, here's a copy with red:

Timdwilliamson is is proud to be Vietnamese-American!.^*

Userbox request MV

Hi,

I have a simple usebox and an image to go in it, but do not know how to combine the two. See User:MountVic127. Please help. :-) ----MountVic127 (talk) 05:03, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

So, you want the left-handed mouse gif and text that says “This user is left-moused but right-handed.” Right? - TimDWilliamson ^speak 18:16, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Correct. :-) ----MountVic127 (talk) 23:49, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

@MountVic127: How about this? - TimDWilliamson ^speak

Code	Result
{{User:Timdwilliamson/ubx/leftmouse}}	This user is left-moused but right-handed.*	Usage

Looks great. I wonder how many other right-handed wikipedians will use this unusual userbox? As I have written before, "for a right-hander NOT to use a mouse left-handed is a waste of a good hand." ----MountVic127 (talk) 20:31, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

I’ll upload it to the userbox gallery, and to the list of new userboxes. - TimDWilliamson ^speak

Where is userbox gallery, and the list of new userboxes? -——MountVic127 (talk) 19:46, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

BTW, the "Left-moused" userbox is a bit cluttered; please clean its debris. :-) :-)

Would you be able to help me with a GIF animation, Tim?

Hello Tim,

I am thinking of preparing about 6–10 fairly simple maps showing the railway lines in South Australia as time has gone on: starting with a few lines, increasing to a maximum, then declining in number. They would ideally be presented as a .gif animation. The maps would be identical except for the added/deleted railway lines and accompanying text.

I am used to preparing maps -- this one is an example of my simpler types -- but I don't have any experience of .gif animations.

Would such an animation be of interest to you? There is no urgency -- in fact I have only prepared the first map so far, but wanted to liaise with an animator to make sure I wasn't inadvertently committing myself to a less-than-useful course of action. Whether or not you are interested, I would appreciate advice on the best file size, and whether it's best to save my jpegs as gifs.

I live in Australia, where everyone takes an interest in US presidential elections (especially because of foreign policy implications for this increasingly dangerous part of the world) -- so I imagine you might be chewing your fingernails down right now! Please feel free to get back at your convenience.

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism

Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [1] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:34, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
