The box you are looking for[edit]

I noticed your question on the Userbox talk page, and I believe the userbox you are looking for is {{User:Xoloz/UBX/User Christian}}. I have it displayed on my user page. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page. AuburnPilot^talk 04:13, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jesus[edit]

I recently found that the Jesus article on Wikipedia is the first item that comes up when you search for "Jesus" on the world’s most widely used search engine, Google.

Please edit the Jesus article to make it an accurate and excellent representation of Him.

The Jesus article may be a person’s first impression of Jesus. It would be nice if their first impression was from a Christian or the Bible, but for so many in these new days it probably comes from the Internet. Watch the Jesus page to keep it focused on Him. Thanks a lot.

Also, watch out to follow Wikipedia's Policies and guidelines. It is especially hard for the Three-revert rule and the Neutral point of view policy to be followed because of the nature of the article, but please follow these policies along with citing sources so that the article does not get locked from editing and can't be improved further. Thanks again. Scifiintel 18:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: user oops does not work on sub pages[edit]

Hello, and thanks for reporting the problem. If it's possible would you fix the issue, as currently I have no time to understand and fix the code, and whatever else is wrong. If you can't, don't worry as I'll get to it later this week.--Saoshyant ^{talk / contribs} (I don't like Wikipedophiles) 11:27, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: I like your talk page... can I 'borrow' some ideas?[edit]

You are very polite in asking about this, and I complement you on that, although you technically didn't need to ask. If you find any code on my pages that you may want to use, please go ahead.

I noticed you have created a nice template on the top. It looks cool. I've never tried the archive bot, though, so I can't help you there (assuming you needed help to begin with).

Oh, and you have my thanks for your work in user oops. Nice fix.--Saoshyant ^{talk / contribs} (I don't like Wikipedophiles) 12:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re: The "unsigned comment" timestamps...[edit]

I was unsure whether you were watching my talk page, so here was my reply to your question:

There is a bot named HagermanBot which attempts to sign all unsigned comments, but it is currently having some "issues" according to its talk page. You can see it sign one of your comments here. There are also templates ({{unsigned}} and {{unsigned2}}) which I add to unsigned comments based on the history of a page whenever I find them; both on my talk page and the talk pages of articles. The great thing about HagermanBot is its speed. I have forgotten to sign before and immediately returned to sign my comment, only to be beaten to the punch by the bot.

IC Wikisoc![edit]

Dear Jonaboff, my name is Vinesh Patel, a 5th Year medic at Imperial. I'm trying to start an Imperial College Wikipedia society, presenting to the union by the end of the month. Would you be interested?

I got your username from the Category: Wikipedians by alma mater: Imperial College London page.

Here is a link demonstrating my work so far: http://www2.imperial.ac.uk/blog/reporter/2011/01/21/wikipedia-society/

My team and I want to get people working in groups for edits. Non-academic and academic edits would be great to work on in groups – an IC Wikipedia soc would be cool! This has already been achieved in the States but we would be the first student society in the UK. http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_student_clubs. We are also pursuing lots of other things – research into Wikipedia use, GLAM wiki stuff with local museums, using Wikipedia in teaching.

Whether you are a current student or alumnus, I think it would be great to get a community linked together from Imperial, which can give so much to the world’s free information because of the knowledge base here – and have fun doing it!

Myself and 6 other students are holding events at South Kensington campus Wed 9th and 16th; please get in touch at my talk page or e-mail to get into the movement in whatever capacity you can – you would be most welcome.Vinnypatel (talk) 01:56, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IC wikisoc[edit]

Hi Jonaboff,

Great to hear of your interest in Wikisoc. Our membership - which is free - can be found here: http://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/wikipedia-576. We expect members to be pretty autonomous, but just to attend the odd event and co-ordinate with fellow members in their editing group either online or in person. You can get your friends involved and edit either for academic or personal benefit.

In addition, there are a couple of things happening - tomorrow Sunday April 10th we are having a meeting in SAF at 6pm and Wednesday is the London Wikipedia Academy: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/London_Wikipedia_Academy. Please come along if you can. You can also find my email (vinesh patel, year 5 medic) on the IC system if you have further queries, or indeed the club e-mail is wikipedians@ic.ac.uk.

Hope to see you soon!
