Welcome[edit]

Hello, Teh tennisman/Archive1, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. Check out the Simplified Ruleset. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — if you have any questions, or just want to say hello, feel free to contact me on my Talk Page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

Always use wikiquette
Write from a neutral point of view
If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
Always use edit summaries when editing pages.
You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
If your first language isn't English, try Contributing to articles outside your native language
Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.

Happy editing!

Inheritance trilogy[edit]

I've been noticing your edits to Inheritance trilogy related articles. Have you considered joining the WikiProject Inheritance Trilogy?--May the Force be with you! Shr e shth91 ($ |-| ŗ 3 $ |-| ţ |-|) 18:00, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have decided to join. Thank you for joining the WPIT! The project seems to have become much more successful than I predicted. Hope to see you around. íslenska hurikein #12_(samtal) 11:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your Question at the Help Desk[edit]

Did you figure out your question? I was thinking maybe you were looking for information on userboxes or on Wikipedia:Babel. Let me know if you have any other questions. --Hetar 23:33, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA[edit]

I think you should withdraw this. You can do so at anytime.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should continue to edit and just see how things go.. Showing a declaration of intent to become an admin is often seen poorly by others. you can study the past RfAs of course.Blnguyen | rant-line 02:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflicted) Your request for adminship is very unlikely to succeed due to your low number of edits, which suggest that you may not know Wikipedia policies very well. Hence, I'd advise you to withdraw your request by removing it from the WP:RFA page, and/or indicating your withdrawal on your nomination page. Regards, Kimchi.sg 01:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... for now, my advice is, just continue to edit. You may take a look at the successful RfAs to see what the candidates have done. Kimchi.sg 02:30, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changing username[edit]

Hi. I would like to comment that using {{ucr}} is not for users who are not blocked, because simply listing yourself on Wikipedia:Changing username is sufficient. Happy editing! -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Prodego ^talk 15:45, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, happy editing! Prodego ^talk 15:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

help[edit]

I have now been autoblocked by User:Naconkantari twice in a week. What have I done and how can i be rid of it?

Well you personally haven't been autoblocked by anyone, your IP has. Details on the autoblocker can be found here, unless you can stop the people sharing your IP address from vandalising (or whatever they've been doing) then autoblocks will happen. --pgk^(talk) 12:57, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since I'm on AOL,whoever signs on with AOL right after me gets to use my IP? Teh tennisman 13:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

oh well doesnt matter now-autoblock ran out or somethingTeh tennisman 13:13, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Star Wars newsletter[edit]

Project updates
Greetings, Star Wars editors! Deckiller here. It's the first edition of the WikiProject Star Wars newsletter, and yes, it's a semi-ripoff of the Esperenza newsletter. I think it's important to begin with some good news: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Jabba the Hutt have reached featured article status! Kudos to the editors who helped obtain these achievements! WikiProject Star Wars is also on a mission to improve Star Wars articles using the following ideas: An out of universe perspective versus an in universe perspective (see Wikipedia:Writing about fiction and the future ammendments to our manual of style) Evolving lists into regular articles Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections) Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members More to come These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles.
Things to do
There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving!
Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives
Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.

Article evolution

As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort.

For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article.

Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future!

Helpme[edit]

Hi, what's the problem? --JD[^{don't talk}|_email] 13:04, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well now it's nothing...someone got to my question at the Help Desk before you got here, as I asked at both. Sorry to waste your time.Teh tennisman 13:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's no problem at all. --JD[^{don't talk}|_email] 13:06, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, now that I say that, I have a question: Why don't the edit counters work for me? They just say "user either does not exist or has no edits". Teh tennisman 13:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which one are you using; and are you sure you're typing your username properly? --JD[^{don't talk}|_email] 13:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kate's and the like that are online, and I doubt I would type my own username incorrectly. When it brings up the list of users starting with Teh..., I am not on it. Teh tennisman 13:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I finally found one that works. Thanks for the help. Teh tennisman 13:22, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, no worries. And sorry about the lack of response before; my computer kinda locked up on me. --JD[^{don't talk}|_email] 13:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem with the response lag. Teh tennisman 13:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boxboxing userboxes[edit]

I put your userboxes injto a box. They weren't dis[;aying correctly in Firefox, screen resolution 1280x768. Check page history in FF to see the problem; I don't know if you have it with the AOL browser. Regards, ~ crazytales56297 -talk- 04:18, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage[edit]

Hi; what you entered clearly belongs in a user page, not in an areticle.--Anthony.bradbury 23:24, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was going to be a link; i've seen people do links as separate pages, how would i do that? Teh tennisman 23:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I made a link to your userpage; where else should it go?--Anthony.bradbury 23:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles[edit]

Friend, let us not be silly about this. You have been in Wiki for some time, and must know as well as I di that articles about non-notable persons, which in encyclopedic terms I am afraid you are, do not survive in the encyclopedia. If I do not pick up on them, someone else will. Let's not fight.--Anthony.bradbury 23:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, i just wanted that page to link to mine. I didnt know how to create a new page to link to my user page. If you can tell me how, thatd be nice.I never meant any offense in any way. Teh tennisman 23:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help[edit]

Hello, you used the {{helpme}} tag. How may I help you? When you've asked your question, please put the tag back so we know to check back. Alternatively, you can join the Wikipedia Bootcamp IRC channel to get real-time help. (Use the web-based client to get instant access.) GeorgeMoney (talk) 23:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, i was wondering how i create a page to link to my user page as I have seen other users do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Teh tennisman 23:46, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You want to make an article link to a userpage? That is highly discouraged. Userpage stuff should stay out of the articles. GeorgeMoney (talk) 23:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, what I want to do is create a page that extends my userpage. see Crazytales56297's userpage to see what I mean. Teh tennisman 23:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re: help me[edit]

i wondering if there is a template for future dates and times? If so, what would be the wiki-code for it/them? RockerballAustralia 01:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

what do you mean by future dates and times? as in, when something is coming out? I foget the template, go to a page for an upcoming item to see what I think you mean, such as something coming in 2007 that we already know about. Teh tennisman 01:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Essjay[edit]

He's been inactive lately.... and to be honest users aren't exactly great at determining if someone would pass rfa... a roll of the dice would be a better indicator :o -- Tawker 00:49, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your request for adminship[edit]

Hi there, Tennisman!

I noticed your RFA while on new pages patrol.

I think your intention and expressed sentiment are both noble and admirable. However, I feel I should probably tell you that there is little chance that your RFA will pass, but not for precisely the reasons you anticipate.

First of all, of your roughly 400 edits, none of them are admin-like tasks, like reverting vandalism - about 100 of them are editing your user page. As far as I can tell, you've never tagged something for deletion. Therefore, I'm puzzled as to why you want the admin tools. Perhaps reading WP:ADMIN will help you understand what adminship entails.

Your opposition is going to come from the fact that you display little or no knowledge of Wikipedia policy.

If you would like to be an admin, I strongly suggest you take part regularly in XfDs (WP:AFD, WP:TFD, WP:MFD, etc), help mediate (see WP:3O), and revert vandalism (watch Special:Recentchanges and join RC Patrol). That way, people will begin to trust you and will discover your (hopefully rather extensive) knowledge of Wiki policies.

As of right now, there's simply nothing to judge your knowledge of policy on. RfA !voters need to see you in action, doing admin-like tasks, before they feel safe supporting you.

If you need anything, please let me know. I hope to see you around soon! :) Srose (talk) 17:06, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply on helpme[edit]

Guess it's here I should answer. Where can I ask admin for help on Durrus and District History‎? --Kristod 19:52, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

well, actually, you could go to the helpdesk or talk to User:Srose or one of her admin comrades. Go to WP:RFA and check the List of Administrators there actually. --Teh tennisman 19:54, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, just go to WP:RFA. --[[User:Teh tennisman|Teh tennisman 19:56, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Admin[edit]

Hey Aaron! Let me start of by telling you that I wasn't the youngest admin. Ilyanep became an admin when they were 13 and ~~crowned~~...errr... made a bureaucrat when they were 14. Sango123 and 1ne also became admins at an earlier age than mine. Secondly, I would recommend you reduce your sig length. It really takes up space in the edit window. And thirdly, best of luck in your endeavour, though I would advise you not to covet adminship. --May the Force be with you! Shr e shth91 04:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

November Esperanza Newsletter[edit]

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log)
The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Thank you for your support...
Thank you ever so much, Teh tennisman, for your kind words and understanding in my time of need. I deeply appreciate your support, and I hope to be there for you, should you ever need help.

-Hello Teh tennisman, and thank you for your kind words and also for the rose. You're lucky to catch me while I'm online, because a lot of my daily schedule is now being taken with therapy sessions, and that will probably continue for some time. Because of that, I will be only partially active on Wikipedia for at least the near future. Thanks again.

— Kyok o

Thanks for the barnstar its really appreciated. I'm going to check on them tomorrow (I'm really busy at the moment and, though I wish I could, I don't have the time, no matter what I do.) Oh, how bad it grieves me! Say hi to Kyoko and E@L for me! Thanks! Randfan 22:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support![edit]

A week ago I nominated myself, hoping to be able to help Wikipedia as an administrator as much as a WikiGnome. I am very glad many others shared my thoughts, including you. Thank you for your trust! Be sure I will use these tools to protect and prevent and not to harass or punish. Should you feel I am overreacting, pat me so that I can correct myself. Thanks again, I will try not to disappoint you! ReyBrujo 21:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
