Regarding the ANNAFox Edit[edit]

Hi, I'm not trying to answer for Alphachimp, but this ANNAFox had posted this exact message on over 100 random talk pages.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 23:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Illyria05...you took the words straight out of my figurative mouth. I reverted an edit posted on over 100 talk pages. We consider that spam and revert it on sight. Let me know if you have any further questions. alphachimp 00:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Alphachimp: No problem :P , but next time, I'll let the person who was asked to answer the question, sorry :P Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 16:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Wikiman's message on my talk page: Yes, she I would presume just copy-pasted and posted this on over 100 different talk pages, including trying to force someone in one instance to sign. ( I can't find that link right now, if I do, I'll let you know)... I hope this helps .. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 16:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are still listed on the Admin coaching request page[edit]

Your name is still listed at Requests for an admin coach. If you are no longer looking for a coach, or you currently have one, please remove yourself from that list.

The instructions for getting or receiving a coach have changed. It's now a self-help process: just look for a coach from the list of coaches, and contact one. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching. Good luck.

Thank you. The Transhumanist 01:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

someone please remove my name. I can't find it. WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Review Me! | Can I have your autograph? 23:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I removed you from the list at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests. Let me know if this was not what you meant or if you have further questions. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 23:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} Where can I find the discription page? WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Review Me! | Can I have your autograph? 15:50, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's just Image:Andrea close up.jpg, which is editable by clicking the "Edit this Page" tab, as for normal pages. --h2g2bob 16:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} This is a pic of my sister and I don't want anybody else using it. Did I put the right copyright? WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Review Me! | Can I have your autograph? 14:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When you upload a photo with that license, you're saying that anyone can use it at any time in any way. That's the way Wikipedia works. Is there any purpose for that photo, by the way? Do you plan on using it somewhere on Wikipedia? Metros232 14:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anna's edit[edit]

how did she make an automated message of this everywhere? WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Review Me! | Can I have your autograph? 23:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You could ask her :) It's probable that she used a lot of tabs (for example, with Firefox or Opera), or a regex. Gracenotes ^T § 00:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's also possible she just simply cut and pasted it. However, it is a very bad idea to spam like that and got her in a bunch of trouble for doing that. So do not spam other people's pages about signing your autograph book. Metros232 14:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: I wasn't planning on it. Also. I am using andreas pic on my user page. Please respond on MY talk. WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Review Me! | Can I have your autograph? 14:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's not currently being used, so don't be surprised if someone comes along to nominate it for deletion as being orphaned (not being used) and unencyclopedic. Also, please consider shortening your signature. It is huge right now and takes up a lot of unnecessary space. Metros232 14:41, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's me[edit]

About the way I automatically posted "sign my page" on 100 user talk pages, what I did was I simply copied the message and then pasted it on quite a few user talk pages, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS! I JUST WANTED TO COLLECT THE SIGNATURES OF EVERY SINGLE WIKIPEDIAN, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS PROBABLY NOT POSSIBLE. DO NOT DO THIS! IT GOT ME IN A LOT OF TROUBLE!!! Why did I do this? Because Cremepuff222 made his lifelong goal to get more signatures than me, and I wanted to show him that he is a bragging jerk. Anyway, that's why and how I did it; but DO NOT DO THIS Thanks.

Hi[edit]

I want a signiture code, that is very colorful has a link to my sig page has a link to my userpage/talk/edit count somewhere in it. Can someone give me a code? WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Can I have your autograph? 02:25, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know, you shouldn't link to edit count, as external links aren't allowed in signatures. Also, if it's really colorful (say a different color every letter), it's going to be very long, which isn't good, and you will probably be asked to change it, as it fills up pages. --TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@ 02:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, your signature is already ridiculously long as it is. Please find a way to reduce it. Metros232 03:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can find help with signatures on this page, under "Customizing Signatures." Cheers! Real96 03:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GOTCHA!![edit]

You have been indefinitely blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for repeated abuse of editing privileges. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

This is a joke, please pay no attention to it (delete it if you wish). P.S. you can borrow the code for my sig (no hard feelings ;-) ~Step trip 19:37, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi[edit]

While looking around, I noticed people who got in trouble for saying "Wikipedia" in the username should I change mine? WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Can I have your autograph? 21:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No. First, the policy only applies to accounts created after the rule was put into place. Second, your name doesn't have Wikipedia in it. A wiki is a website anyone can edit. It's doesn't always mean Wikipedia. --TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@ 21:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Templates[edit]

Hi there, I understand you were interested in templates. Existing templates are listed at Wikipedia:Template messages. If you cannot find the template you need, you can request it on Wikipedia:Requested templates. For help on creating templates yourself, see Help:Template, or contact a user who has identified themselves as an adept template coder. Hope that helps. --Jon186 21:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

?[edit]

At the bottom of this page it says I'm listed in  [[Category:Temporary Wikipedia Userpages|Temporary Wikipedian Userpages]].  Who put that there, what does it mean and why? WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Can I have your autograph? 21:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was added when someone added a fake indefinite block notice. It's temporary because after the notice has been around for a while, they delete the user page. --TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@ 21:54, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to lose my userpage :( ... WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Can I have your autograph? 21:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You won't, because you really haven't been blocked. Just take the fake one off with the explanation that it's fake. --TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@ 22:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Start of Pages[edit]

how do you put a message on a page that only shows up when you press edit? Ex. on the Sandbox it says do not erase above this line. Please sign my autograph book WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Can I have your autograph? 23:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The  are the marks to use. Anything in between these, such as the "test" in:  will not appear in the displayed page. These are called comments in HTML. —Centrx→talk • 00:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
