User page help[edit]
Hey, can you help me set up my home page because I have been having problems trying to set it up? Keri Marie Davis (talk) 12:17, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sure! When you are on your talk page, on the top tabs, the left-most tab should say "user" and be red. Click on that tab and it will bring you to the page to edit your user page. You can start with as little or as much as you want. You can go to this page to get more detailed info on what you can include on your page. You might want to start by putting in some userboxes. Good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions. shirulashem (talk) 18:47, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi[edit]
Hello! I hope you enjoy creating your userpage! Kausill (talk) 11:50, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- Try not to follow my userpages footsteps, though. I've only edited it recently to fit in with userpage guidelines. Kausill (talk) 12:55, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- Well, cool. Try to talk about encyclopedic things and ways to improve the wiki. Or like I did, show an article about what you wish to talk about. Try to help newcomers and stuff. Talk about things that improve Wikipedia. As stated in a policy; this is not a social networking site. Kausill (talk) 13:15, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- It'd be best to get the information from official sources though, because it will give the most accurate descriptions. It fits in with Wikipedia guidelines if you do that. Kausill (talk) 01:51, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know. Any amount... there is already a huge article on Levithians anyway... Kausill (talk) 12:57, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not saying you can't add more to Levithian if you want to. Look up anything you like and just edit the page; reverting vandalism, editing the information, adding related pages or even redirections. There are so many ways you can edit Levithian or any other article you like despite it's already giant size. Be Bold in Editing! Kausill (talk) 13:04, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yep... okay. Good luck! Any other advice you need? Kausill (talk) 13:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe you should make the article a bit more encyclopedic, written from a neutral point of view and should not include any original research. I don't think it's really necessary in an enclyclopedia. The article love already includes most of this information anyway... Kausill (talk) 14:10, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Positve and Negative Relationships[edit]
Some people can be in a good relationship, while others can be in a really bad relationship. It all depends on who your
friends are, who you date, and just people that you hang around. They can either build you up, or they can just tear you down.
Being in a positive relationship with someone is a whole lot better than being in a negative relationship with someone,
because if you are in a really bad relationship that you probably shouldn't be in, then well, chances are that your life is
going to take a turn for the worst. Trust me, I should know, I've done it plenty of times myself, and well, my life went in
the wrong direction. I had taken a path that I din't want to and that I knew was an extremely stupid decision to make. I'll
tell you about my experiences and how to get out of a negative relationship and into a positive relationship. Also I'll try
and tell you what exactly to look for in relationships. Like in friendships, dating, people to hang around, things like that.
I've done it many times myself, so I'm hoping that this article will help you out some, if not then I don't know. Plus, I'll
also give you some other references besides my own experiences. I'll give you some references from a book called Discover Your
Destiny by Cary Schmidt. He is an associate pastor at Lancaster Baptist Church and he is also an instructor at West Coast
Baptist College. He leads a music ministry, student ministries, and the media and publications ministries of the church. He
has also written other books calle Life Quest; Hook, Line and Sinker; Music Matters; and Done.
I used to make the right decisions. I had used to hang around the right kind of people. The kind of people that I should
be hanging around. But when 8th grade hit, I started rebelling and hanging around the kind of people that are a negative
influence. I had used to stand up for what I believed in, but when I had started hanging around with the wrong kind of
people, I no longer stood up for what I believed in. I started believing in other things, but not that much, because
I wasn't too interested in them, and I was only rebelling. At least though, that was just an excuse. Thats all it was,
just a stupid excuse. Normally I would never ever want to be around, let alone hang around with them.
The thing was that I was just tired of being an outcast, and being so different than everybody else was. Everyone else
treated me like I was a nobody, like I didn't even belong there at all. my attitude started changing. I started acting
like everyone else. I was trying to be something that I wasn't at all.
When you act like someone your not, you start getting more and more depressed. You are never happy with yourself at all.
You start doing things that before when you acted like yourself, you would never ever think of doing at all. Depression
and peer pressure are teenagers major problems. It's so hard to fit in with others, so they'll do anything to try to
fit in and get people to like them or at least to notice them. They start acting like someone they're not, then they'll
get all depressed and they are very rarely ever going to be ever truly happy with themselves when they do that.
When teenagers start hanging around the wrong kind of people, and they start acting totally different, they start
getting into drugs, drinking, smoking, sex, suicide, rebellions, and all kinds of other things as well. "People whose hearts
are bitter and angry end up becoming friends with others who are also bitter and angry." pg. 75 "Your greatest temptation will
be to shrink away in fear- fear of the unknown, fear of responsibility, fear of failure. Your decision will impact
generatins." pg. 96 "There is a part of all of us that can actually lead us away and decieve us into danger and sin." pg. 145
"Trusting self is always a very dangerous path. It never works out. It's so easy to follow emotion or feeling. It's so easy
to rely on your own understanding, which always seems so true and real. It's natural to rely on the way you see things, but
it's also deadly." pgs. 146-147 "Feelings will always follow obedience. Emotions will always fall in line with reality
eventually. Don't run away, kill yourself, or freakout on drugs- no matter the despair that your emtions my bring." pg. 147
Well, when I got really depressed since I no longer acted like myself anyone, I no longer knew who I was or who I'd even become
for that matter. I most certaintly didn't like the person that I turned into at all. So well, I tried doing things to myself.
I tried to hurt myself, which actually, really wasn't possible at all. I couldn't even bring myself to do it at all. Besides
I really didn't want to actually hurt myself, let alone kill myself. to me, my main enemy was me. But I have actually found
out that my real enemies are fear and confusion itself. I need to get rid of my fear and confusion. Which really I don't
know how to do that at all. But I'll figure that out sooner or later. Hopefully sooner, than later. At least I'm hoping. I was
fighting myself and what I had become. All because I didn't want to be the outcast anymore, and I didn't want to stand out like
I did amongst everyone. I just wanted to fit in. Because of my bad decisions and the people I hung around in my 8th grade year,
I have to live with those memories, but after that year though, in 9th grade, I was back to my normal self again, and my faith
grew even stronger than before, and I stood out again, and I actually really, truly enjoyed it. But then 10th grade came, and
my worst mistake ever came. At least so far in my opinion anyways. But then again, I never really, truly do know, because I
might just make an even worse mistake then I did in 10th grade. My worst decisions that I ever made so far in my life, and
that I regretted and I still do regret that I made those decisions to be begin with.
In 10th grade, I started hanging around people I really knew that I shouldn't have been hanging around at all, that I should've
stayed away from completely. I knew that they would eventually bring me down, defienetly not up. For like 4-6 months in a row
I went really bad. I started doing things that they did, that I never approved of before, and well I actually still don't
approve of as a matter-of-fact. I started believing in what they believed in. I got way too interested in it. I've learned way
too much about it. I know more about this than I should know about it. I have to live with this knowledge about this stuff
forever and ever. It was Wicca that I had gotten into and learned way too much about. It was the people that were in Wicca
that I was hanging around that brought me down. Like the saying goes, or at least what I've heard about it, "Most of the time
its the bad that rubs off over the good." "Most of the time the bad influences the good." I was most defientely influenced. I
also did eventually get back out of Wicca. Again it was with me wanting to have friends so bad just like the last time in 8th
grade. Except fot this time, I got even deeper into it, and I hid it for a while, but eventually I no longer could hide the
fact that I was into Wicca. Eventually, everyone knew that I was into it.
I'll try and tell you what I remember from it, but I don't believe in it anymore. That's a fact.
I was told by someone that I was "supposedly" wind energy. (By the way, when I put supposedly in "", I mean it sarcatically.
I've changed the meaning of supposedly. To me it is now sarcastic, and it also means that I really don't believe it at all.)
I was told that whenever I stopped and listened the wind would pick up speed and came right towards me. Which it did, but I
believe that it was just a windy day and had nothing to do with me at all. I was told that I had energy which I "supposedly"
could use as a weapon to hurt someone that believed in it or at least was paying attention to it. But like I'm trying to say
I really don't believe in it at all. Seriously, though, I really do actually mean that. pg. 80 "People with impure hearts move
forward into spiritual danger, never seeing it. People with pure hearts see God's warning and see the spiritual danger before
it comes. People with pure hearts see God's hand at work in every situation and every decision." pg. 110 " Keri Marie Davis (talk) 14:38, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
New Article[edit]
Read this for further advice on the article... Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. -- Kausill (talk) 14:14, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Specifically point #3 at WP:NOT#OR. Good writing though Keri, you got some potential to be a columnist maybe. -- OlEnglish (Talk) 19:07, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Well... people don't usually go on Wikipedia to read about somebody elses personal experiences. I doubt I'd find Good/Bad Relationships in Encyclopeida Brittanica with a bunch of sad writing. You've got some skill though, but it just dosen't belong in an encyclopedia. Kausill (talk) 01:47, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Just randomly edit stuff, you can join different WikiProjects and Task Forces, my channel for example... Kausill (talk) 14:26, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Oops sorry, I meant userpage lol. I'm at a cross between using Wikipedia jargon and YouTube jargon. Kausill (talk) 12:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Beta muscae[edit]
I really shouldn't be saying this, but there is an article in need of a review. It's a stub, but it's a interesting star. Beta Muscae. Currently, there's only one sentence on the page. If you could, please edit it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clammybells (talk • contribs) 02:35, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
