Barnstars

Hello,

I noticed that you left a message on at the help desk regarding Barnstars. If you would like to give one to somebody, I am willing to volunteer. If you are able to learn to give a Barnstar, I would be so impressed that I would give you one. (N.B. I have been told off for offering to give people Barnstars in exchange for Barnstars, so I cannot specifically offer to do this, but I’m sure you can read between the lines.) Also, if you want two Barnstars, I know that a guy called Spongefrog would also be very impressed if you could demonstrated your skills on him, and I’m sure he would also feel compelled to give you a Barnstar. Finally, as extra incentive, should you test your skills on us, you will be put on the Non-Shame list (otherwise consider yourself on the Shame List, which we aren’t allowed to make). Hope to here from you soon,

Barnstars

Hey there – glad to here from you.

I’ll try and explain this step by step (it’s not to hard, so if you can’t do it, it’ll be my bad explaining, not anything to do with you).

1) Click on this link WP:BARN
2) Scroll down a little until you see a table of Barnstars.
3) There are three columns – from left to right they have a picture, some programming text and an explanation of what the Barnstar is. Read the explanations (or if you prefer look at the pictures) until you find one you want to give.
4) Copy the programming text (from the middle column)
5) Go to the talk page of person who you want to give it to (i.e. me)
6) Paste the copied text.
7) Delete the word “message” from the text you’ve just pasted and replace it with why you’re giving the Barnstar
8) (optional) Write anything else you wish to say in the post as you normally would (anything before the random programming text will appear above it, and anything after will appear after it).

Hope that helps.

--ScribbleStick (talk) 05:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the Barnstar. Here’s one for you.

		The Barnstar Barnstar
		I hereby award you this Barnstar for learning to give Barnstars ScribbleStick (talk) 05:44, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

If you want to put this on your main page, go to “edit this page”, copy the {{subst:Barnstar Barnstar| I hereby award you this Barnstar for learning to give Barnstars ~~~~}} above (or this one, but take off the </nowiki> signs )

Also, as I mentioned previously, if you talk to Spongefrog I’m sure you can find something to impress him enough that he too will give you a Barnstar (assuming you give him one as well).

Thanks once again,

		The "At Least I'm Not Actively Destroying Wikipedia" Barnstar
		For being a new user who doesn't do that

The best I could do for you. I think you deserve it, because there are so few new users who are not Sockpuppets or vandals. I made it especially for you (although that title is a quote from ScribbleStick).--Spongefrog (talk) 19:24, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi there

Hi again – it’s been a few days since your message, so I don’t know if you still need help, but I’ll give it to you anyway:

1) Click on this link WP:UBX
2) If you want to create your own (new and unique) userbox, read it and od what it says (Note: I haven’t done this before, so probably can’t help you if you get stuck). Otherwise scroll down the very bottom of the page until you see one of those blue box things (if you don’t know what I’m talking about use this link Category:Userboxes
3) Click on one of the options you want to see barnstars for (e.g. humor, math, science etc.)
4) At this point is quite similar to using barnstars, there are three columns – one with a bit of computer programming, one with a picture of what the barnstar will look like and one which, if you click on it will give you a list of people who are using that barnstar.
5) Copy the bit of programming next to the usebox you want to use
6) Finally paste it one your userpage…
7) You might want to fiddle around with it to get the right formatting, but I’m useless at this, so will only confuse you.
8) Give me a barnstar (if you still want to)

Hope that helps,

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Inserting a picture in an article

The syntax used for displaying an image is:

   [[Image:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{caption}]]

Only [[Image:{name}]] is required. The other details are optional and can be placed in any order. They are:

Type

   'thumb' / 'thumbnail' or 'frame'. This causes image to be displayed with specific formatting. "thumb" is normally preferred.

Location

   'right', 'left', 'center' or 'none'. Determines placement of the image on the page. "Left" or "right" is the norm, but large panoramas or timelines can be displayed in the center.

Size

   {width}px or {width}x{height}px (e.g. 50x40px, would limit width to 50 and height to 40). Normally only one variable is used. Use common sense when determining the sizes; you can use the "Show preview" button if you need to.

Caption

   Any element which cannot be identified as one of the above is automatically treated as caption text. It is traditional to put this last. The caption should identify what the image is, and ideally be a complete sentence that adds to the article by pointing out something a casual reader wouldn't have noticed otherwise, or add information the pertains to the image.

If you have a picture that isn't already in Wikipedia's image collection that you want to include in an article, you will need to upload it first.

The answer to your question is...

Its and it's

Hi There...

Autoblocked

{{helpme}}I am not able to edit. It says this is an Open proxy, whatever that means. Well, this is my personal computer, and I don't know what to do. Somebody please help me. !!Rkr1991 (talk) 13:03, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

You'll have to follow the instructions given at the screen where it tells you you're blocked. --Closedmouth (talk) 13:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Clearing an autoblock

Due to the nature of the block applied we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details there is nothing further we can do to review or lift your block. Please follow these instructions:

If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in.
Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are.
If it isn't, try bypassing your web browser's cache.
Try to edit the Sandbox.
If you are still blocked, copy the {{unblock-ip|...}} code generated for you under the "IP blocked?" section. This is usually hidden within the "What do I do now?" section. If so, just click the "[show]" link to the right hand side to show this text.
Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.

If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing. --Closedmouth (talk) 13:12, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Adoption offer

Hello, I saw your comment on my adoptee's talk page. Would you like me to take you in as an adoptee? → Dylan 620 (Toolbox Alpha, Beta) 21:12, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Just a quick note, you're my adoptee, not the other way around (you wrote it the other way around on my talk page). ;) I'll be a bit busy on-wiki with other matters ATM, but we'll get started this evening. See you then! → Dylan 620 (Toolbox Alpha, Beta) 17:04, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, first, replace the adoptme template on your userpage with {{adoptee|Dylan620}}. Then, please answer the following questions. Place {{tick}} next to the letter A to say "yes" to the question, and place {{cross}} next to the letter A to say "no."

Q1: Which of the following courses would you like to take?

Fighting vandalism Y
HTML Y
Communicating with other users Y
Building content Y
WikiGnome Y
Administrative tasks Y

A:

All of the above !

Q2: Would you like to be an administrator someday?

A:

Maybe, If I've got the time.

Cheers, → Dylan 620 (Toolbox Alpha, Beta) 23:07, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, my adopter (I hope I'm right this time). I think we should get to know each other a little better. My name is Rajagopal. I'm male, 18 years old, from Chennai, India. I am a student of Electrical Engineering from IITM (you may have heard of it). I've been on Wikipedia for the last couple of months, and have made around 300 edits, mostly on the Reference Desks (mostly on Science). As you can see, I will have to take wikibreaks time and again due to exams, trips, etc. In fact, I'm taking one this Tuesday for a week. But while I'm here, I'm moderately active, and wish to be better equipped to contribute more effectively. I look forward to you for guidance, advice, and mentoring, and I'm sure we will be very good friends. I see you've adopted several new users. I'm very possessive, and demand that you spend a lot of attention to me (You think I'm kidding ? Maybe). Hope to hear from you soon, Rkr1991 (talk) 03:43, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

My guess is you probably got a better adopter here than you would have with me anyway. Good luck in any event, and glad to have you aboard. John Carter (talk) 14:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

THANKYOU!!

Hi!

Hey Rkr (I'm too lazy to write the 1991),

I ws just on here abusing Spongefrog, and I thought I would drop in and say hi to my other WikiFriend...then I thought I'd say hi to you as well (no, just kidding).

Anyhoo, consider yourself being said hi to.

Hope all is well, and that you're getting on fine without my step-by-step intructions.

--ScribbleStick (talk) 03:41, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi... and maybe you are trying too hard to be funny... Are those spelling mistakes intended ? Rkr1991 (talk) 12:42, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

What spelling mistakes? What about your spacing mistake!! "Are those spelling mistakes intended[here] ?" Hahaha!! Wait, why do I care, this is Scribbles we're talking about. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 15:46, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Whoops, I had forgotten to indent my post. But there were several mistakes... "ws", "Anyhoo", "Intructions".. That's what I was talking about. Rkr1991 (talk) 16:35, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I never saw the "Intructions", thats why I bolded the "s" in "mistakes". "Anyhoo" probably isn't a mistake, Americans say it a lot (although Scribbles is a New Zealander). But everybody seems to often talk like an American on Wikipedia. My excuse (because I have been mistaken for an American) is that if I typed how I talked naibdi cid unnerstan' mi. Try to decipher that (I'm Scottish). Not that there's anything wrong with typing like an American. This post is much longer than it should be, I got distracted again. Anyway, you're still right. I was hoping there would be only one mistake and I could go "Hahaha! There was only one mistake. I am a genius!!"Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 17:15, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Mistake or not, "Anyhoo" ain't in the dictionary, bro. And my Firefox caught it red feeted (literally). (My firefox also caught "feeted", but technically, it should exist, as "handed" is perfectly listed in the dictionary). Rkr1991 (talk) 05:16, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

And I understood every word of that Scottish accent. We Indians are very flexible. :-)Rkr1991 (talk) 05:16, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Agh, you win. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 10:56, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Flexible, eh? What about this.Hahahah!! Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 12:19, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

More of a challenge, but I could still get over 80% of the words and 100% of the meaning... But the Wikipedian of the day is always right, at least on his day... Rkr1991 (talk) 15:42, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Even I could only get 95% of the words and 85%% of the meaning. So you did pretty well. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 16:34, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey there;)

I don't think we've been formally introduced. How are you. Do you have any challenges for me. P.S. Where are you from?Schnitzel MannGreek. 15:15, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I've been trying to get the word you gave Spongefrog as a challenge,so far, I only got the language. You know I'm the one that said it was Tamil, not him right?Schnitzel MannGreek. 12:44, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I know. Rkr1991 ^{(Wanna chat?)} 13:51, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I have given up. I found a Tamil translator, but I didn't want to download it, so SMG has no competition now. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 09:11, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

You still would get something for your efforts though. But what about that award thing; don't forget me... Rkr1991 ^{(Wanna chat?)} 10:56, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

You will probably get that award thing eventually. Be patient, remember, its only every 2 1/2 days. That didn't much sound like me, what I just said there, did it? Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 18:42, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

(outdent)I took some time thinking about this. It was very confusing. I consulted many sources including a couple of wikipedia users. This is my conclusion:I find that overall, it sounds as gibberish. It can translate to"you are a thala". Thala could refer to the actor Ajith Kumar.Schnitzel MannGreek. 02:11, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

You got almost everything. It does translate to "You are a Thala", and "Thala" does refer to Ajith Kumar. Everything but the meaning of "Thala". I think I should give it to you now. It means "Head" or "Leader". Literally, it means you're the boss. Nice job - Definitely a very good effort... :-) Rkr1991 ^{(Wanna chat?)} 03:33, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
