Re:School

[edit]

Yeah, I guess being smart is a pain sometimes. I'm not lucky enough to have experienced that, since I don't put as much effort for schoolwork as I do for Wikipedia. But er... what do you mean by "an outer-space background"? Chamal talk work 03:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Spittlespat. You have new messages at La Pianista's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

And please respond on my talk page. Would you rather I template you every time I respond like this? —La Pianista (TCS) 16:32, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Fissle (adjective)

[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Fissle (adjective), 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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.

Sorry to keep sending you these, Spittle, but I keep running into some of your articles that have already been tagged, and yet you have not received a template.
Perhaps you would like to see WP:WANTED for the most-wanted articles? —La Pianista (TCS) 00:19, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Yes I love manga and anime. I have read of those, and the Series of Unfourtunate Events. ♥Tory~AmuletHeart♥ 00:04, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I have checked it out. It's always good to have a little fun. Take a look at User:Useight/Fun and User:Useight/Quotes. Useight (talk) 03:22, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


Re: TV Wikipedia

[edit]

As I am two months away from achieving this, I've been really busy as of late. October has especially been a nightmare. I am also currently working two part-time jobs (although I'll be down to one after next week). So, I don't have a whole lot of time on Wikipedia at the moment. I do check my talk page multiple times daily and make my rounds at my usual pages, but I don't have a whole lot of time for intense work on Wikipedia until my schedule slows down, which will hopefully happen soon, I don't want my hair to turn gray. Useight (talk) 21:44, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Hopefully in a week or two I'll be able to spend more time on Wikipedia. Good luck in your classwork, too. Useight (talk) 21:55, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Award

[edit]

Hi, Spittlespat! Your contributions show that you haven't been editing much in the mainspace lately. Most of your recent edits are to talk pages. How about you make some more good edits to articles, so I can find out how good your editing is? As I said, I should have a reason to give you an award. BTW, I'm very mean when it comes to awards :) You have to work extra hard to get an award out of me. Chamal talk work 10:55, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

The Resilient Barnstar
You seem to take everything in good faith, I havn't seen any outbursts from you so far. Chamal is correct in that you should focus a bit more on article building, but for the time being, have this :). Blooded Edge (TCA) 17:05, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Organising your awards section

[edit]

Easy, just follow the provided steps.

1. Open a new window tab, and goto your current awards page, wipe everything there, but do not save yet.

2. Now, add the following code:

{|align="left" width="160px" style="background-color: transparent;"
|-
|<div>
{{boxboxtop| }}
<div class="NavFrame collapsed" style="padding: 0; border-style: none;">
<div class="NavFrame collapsed" style="border-style: none; padding: 0;">
<div class="NavHead" style="background: #edf1f1; text-align: left; text-style: normal;">
NAME OF DROP-DOWN BOX GOES HERE</div><div class="NavContent">
first template starts here
and should end here
second starts here
and should end here
and etc, etc.
</div></div></div>
{{boxboxbottom}}
</div>
|}
Replicate same code here to add another drop down-box, and follow the same instructions as above.

3. Add as many of these boxes as you want, for all your required catergories. Then add the templates where shown, and you're done! You may notice on my userbox page, I've got two rows of boxes. How did I get them?

4. Well, I advise you to keep at the max, 4 drop-down boxes on the same row. To start another row:

Coding for the last of the four boxes ends here.
1
2
3
4
5
6
Leave six spaces, then add another four drop-down boxes for an all-new row.

Well, thats all there is to it, you can save the page! If you need more help, don't hesitate to ask :). Blooded Edge (TCA) 17:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Are they ever making a second movie of series of unfortunate events? and also does anyone think my userpage is cool? But my main question is... HOW DO YOU BECOME A WIKIOTTER OR HAVE ONE?????--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 18:36, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Exactly jac, but how do you become one?--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 18:41, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
By saying you are one. There's no Central Bureau of Wikipedia Editor Classifications. It's entirely self-directed. roux ] [x] 18:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Dude, no offense, but none of the above really requires a helpme. Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events#Sequel suggests yes. Your userpage looks fine, though on my display the "ads" banner forces it to have a big bunch of dead space on the right next to the "which side are you on" thing. And Wikipedia:WikiOtter, which isn't a policy, an official position or anything, just a type of editor that some editors have declared themselves, says that they help new editors along. (And to answer your question to me the other day about awards, if you deserve an award, someone will give it to you. Please don't be here just to try and earn awards - this is all about building the encyclopedia.) Tony Fox (arf!) 18:42, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Figured I should step in. Just paint yourself brown, get a thick tail and big webbed flippers. Seriously, add {{User wikipedia/isOtter}} if you want and you can start calling yourself a WikiOtter. You can't take my WikiOtters though, but User:Barkjon might have an extra one.

ONE more question what exactly do you do when you're a wikiotter??--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 18:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Just keep doing what you were doing before. If you're a WikiOtter to begin with, you'll stay a Wiki-Otter!

I've prepared three logos for you, Spittle, to choose from.

Re: "hey um..."

[edit]

Since you asked, your user page seems nice enough. As for Barnstars for MotD, anyone can award you a barnstar. I award barnstars for Motto of the Day not primarily for suggesting good mottos, though that helps, but also for consistent participation and making good, thought provoking, cogent comments about the mottos of others, including suggestions about how to make them better, or reasons why you like or dislike them. If you want to know how others judge their criteria for awarding Barnstars for MotD (or anything else, for that matter), you'd have to ask them. Hope that that answers your question.

Spittle this is not an appropriate use of the helpme template. Ask the user a question on their talk page, and if you don't get a response, you'll know the answer. I should also point out that your signature is well over the 255 character limit.

Blocking IP's

[edit]

I've noticed you've tried leaving block warnings on vandals' talk pages without actually getting them blocked. Instead, post at WP:AIV after vandals receive the "last warning." Be sure to list the vandal using Template:IPVandal, like this: {{IPvandal|IP numbers go here}} and briefly state why the vandal must be blocked. Only use this for persistent vandals and those who have made personal attacks.

You can request block registered users who have vandalized after receiving final warnings by using {{Vandal|vandal's username goes here, '''without''' "User:" in the beginning}}

Cheers, —La Pianista (TCS) 20:59, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Remember that this should be only if they vandalize after receiving the final warning (or an only warning, in extreme cases). If you're using Twinkle, you can do the reporting easily from the vandal's talk page itself, by clicking on the "arv" tab. Chamal talk 03:09, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

OK, never mind, I started the Briolette of India article, since it'll be easier to do. You can do the history section. Here are the references:
Just read them, and add the necessary information. Good luck! Chamal talk 03:02, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
BTW, you'd better hurry. Someone else has nominated the page for DYK, and currently it has only my name. Do your part quick so that you can be added too. Chamal talk 12:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Just Wondering

[edit]

Do you use any vandal-fighting scripts? e.g. Huggle, Twinkle, Lupin etc? I use Lupin. TopGearFreak Talk 18:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Apologies accepted and no hard feelings. No I'm not a rollbacker - I do all my edits the old-fashioned way. ;-) Str1977 (talk) 18:59, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Of course you can, now that our dispute is settled. Str1977 (talk) 21:55, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Sure I reverted vandalism when I came across it. And usually I give them a warning (starting with the test3 template) in parallel to reverting them (but not in cases of mass vandalism as I considere these hopeless cases). But these are cases when it seems clear that it is vandalism. If it might be a content edit (however misguided) one shouldn't say the V word. Str1977 (talk) 22:01, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
What is this getting at? Yes, I am. Str1977 (talk) 22:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
No, I am not. Str1977 (talk) 22:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Spittle, I'll ask you again; do you use anything to help you fight vandalism? TopGearFreak Talk 19:34, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Article progress

[edit]

Spittle, we don't have forever to complete our article ;) There is a time limit for DYK and if that limit is passed, we lose our chance. I see you haven't edited yesterday, but please try your best to do it today. If it's not done, I'll have to complete it myself before it's rejected. Chamal talk 13:22, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Spittle, what was the point of this edit? You used rollback...for what purpose? It was not vandalism, so you shouldn't have used rollback anyway if you didn't like her edits...but what was wrong with them? She added a category, fixed a typo and added parenthesis. ??? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 18:45, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Agreed. I was going to let that slip by, forgive and forget, but I was albeit a bit slighted. The "undo" function would have been a bit better (though I'm still perplexed as to why they had to be removed at all). Perhaps Spittle would like to read WP:AGF, first? —La Pianista (TCS) 18:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Hmm... I came here to ask the same question. Anyway Spittle, I expected you to do more than just correct minor fixes. I have nominated you as co-author but this is pretty much all you have done. Not really enough to call yourself a 'major cotributor' to the article. You're getting the credit easy this time :) Chamal talk 00:35, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Spittle, this edit you made today removed 4 references from the article. Please be more careful when editing large sections since they contain inline citations, and removing them will leave the article unreferenced. The bigger problem is, you had copied some text directly from this site. This is a violation of Wikipedia copyright policy, which does not allow including copyrighted material in Wikipedia pages (unless under exceptional circumstances, as mentioned in that page). Sorry, but I had to revert this edit. Chamal talk 11:33, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Updated DYK query On 22 November, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Briolette of India, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

BorgQueen (talk) 12:47, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

This diamond was actually cut around 1909, in Paris. It was cut by the same firm that cut the 30-carat Blue Heart Diamond which is now in the Smithsonian. Both were cut for Cartier, who probably also fabricated the briolette's history to make it seem more interesting. On that note its probably South African and not of Indian origin, since the Golconda mines haven't produced more than a few specks since the 1700s. Coincidentally, the Blue Heart was called the "Eugénie Blue" for years, because of a now-disproven legend that Empress Eugénie had owned it. --24.21.149.124 (talk) 09:51, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I have now seen Wall-E. It's quite good, actually; I like the humor and the storyline. And as for Kirby vs. Link, well, when I play Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I always play as Link or Pikachu, so I'd have to amicably disagree. Useight (talk) 18:11, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

New DYK

[edit]

Since you wanted to do another DYK here, you can help me with Battle of Luzon if you like. Just go through the refs already there, and add some details to the "Battle" section. Just add the important points, there's a lot of unnecessary information on the refs. http://www.history.army.mil/brochures/luzon/72-28.htm will be helpful. Also, there's a lot of cleanup and fact-checking that needs to be done but we can leave it for later. If you're interested, you can start working on it. Chamal talk 12:34, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, for me, it was because when I first joined, I thought that everyone else on Wikipedia was adult, so finding that there were other twelve year old users was exciting. But I only mentioned it once. TopGearFreak 20:37, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Blooooooody Murder

I know, that episode is still on my user page. The reason is, I'm going for a WP:ER and am trying to cut back on my user talk edits. So I'm waiting until I have a few things to do on that page, then I'll do them altogether in the one edit, therefore making my user edits smaller! :) I know, that's pretty drastic, but I'm a drastic girl sometimes!! :P TopGearFreak 21:44, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I've done really basic one at my space and they are the things I would like on it, with regard to colours, probably just white. Icons, probably something suitlable, like a phone for the talk page, an autograph book for the guestbook, a pen for my conributions, an evil smile for the vandalism space, a star for the awards, a picure of tools for the sandbox and anything for the userboxes. Again thanks.

PS. While you are at it, don't do this! :D :D Andy (talk) 21:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Call of Duty: World at War

[edit]

Please can use edit summaries and the preview button. I don't know what you did to the article other than move the character section from plot to to gameplaye. Would you mind explaining why? Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which is a FA, has the characters sub-section under plot. Jolly Ω Janner 22:26, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

It's not getting nominated for FA. It was nominated for GA status, although not by me. I feel that CoD 4 is a good example on how to write CoD 5, as they are very similar. Commdor has put it back now, so it doesn't matter much. Thanks for the help. Jolly Ω Janner 22:34, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
No one really gets "credit" for it. WP:GA doesn't record the people who nominated the article and/or who contributed to it. Jolly Ω Janner 22:40, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
