Your signature - a dark color against a black background - is hard to read. David notMD (talk) 17:56, 22 February 2024 (UTC)


 * my pc brightness is very high, so i thought the colour i chose was bright enough, i will lighten it, tysm for letting me know >:3 -Astral  -(he/him/his)  18:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @David notMD this *should* be good, although i dont know if the colour is too light now, but it should be easier to read. -Astral  ~(he/him/his)  18:10, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That works. Thank you. David notMD (talk) 21:08, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, —asparagusus   (interaction)  sprouts!  23:24, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Our tastes are so similar
Hey. Sorry if this message is weird, but I read your userpage after seeing you were copyediting Worlds (thank you, btw!). I never expected to find someone else who also was a fan of Porter Robinson, Radiohead, Aphex Twin, Ecco2K, 100 gecs, OneShot, and osu! (and probably other things I didn't mention). And on top of all that, a Wikipedian. I think I'll never find someone else with so many similar tastes. What can I say, your tastes are really good! (Again sorry if this comes off as weird, but I couldn't not drop a message). Skyshifter  talk  18:36, 5 March 2024 (UTC)


 * no its ok lol! i saw the request the day the drive started and i love porters work so im glad i can help, and we have such a large overlap lol >:3 -Astral  ~(he/him/his)  18:39, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Are you sure this is even related to Wikipedia?
This just seems like a place for your own personal page and doesn't even seem remotely wikipedia related. read WP:UPNOT 4.39.220.106 (talk) 17:11, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I get where you're coming from, because I more or less ramble about my special interests and things i'm interested in editing as general editing concepts. Though i've seen some more biography centered user pages in the userpage hub (and is also listed here that it's not abnormal to do) i try to make it wikipedia centered, and i've been learning html to hopefully fix up the clutter and make it more wiki centered on the main userpage, with some sub pages. it's still a wip, as it says on the page, but i'll fix it up in the next coming months >:3 astral ▪️  he/him ▪️ >:3   17:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * what do you mean with mad or evil cat face? idk what it means 4.39.220.106 (talk) 18:04, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * and I know that you can write about your interests, but this seems almost entirely about that and its very long. 4.39.220.106 (talk) 18:29, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * maybe just shorten it a bit and I think it will be fine 4.39.220.106 (talk) 18:29, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * yeah, it's still a work in progress as i learn how to format my userpage {as it says on the tin}, but once i do it'll be a lot comfier to read, dw >:3 (also this is a happy/silly cat face i guess? idk I just like it bcz silly cat and i use it alot in edit summaries for my userpage)  astral ▪️  he/him ▪️ >:3   20:09, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * i mean it doesn't look happy its like >:) or >:( like evil or mad but I guess it could be happy 4.39.220.106 (talk) 20:15, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * i've always associated it with happy/silly idk lol astral ▪️  he/him ▪️ >:3   20:16, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Enhanced search engine
Hi AstralAlley. I noticed your post at the Teahouse yesterday about the enhanced Google search engine and tried it today for an article I was working on. I found it excellent, which immediately led me to wonder if you can point me to any documentation about it? The URL you supplied seems to have some key data that leads to its utility for Wikipedia but I confess I don't understand why it works! Mike Turnbull (talk) 13:48, 6 April 2024 (UTC)


 * honest to god I have no idea. it's on the AFD pages whenever articles get nominated so there's that. but yeah i have 0 clue how it works or who made it i just know it's official and uses wikipedia approved sources. glad it could help you with your research though! it's been an amazing help for me aswell. astral ▪️  he/him ▪️ >:3   17:30, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes, I now see that it is part of the template Find sources. Thanks, that gives me enough of a clue to investigate further.... Turns out it is documented at WP:WRS. Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * omg, thank you for going down that rabbit hole. now I have the plain link for myself lol. >:3 ur awesome astral ▪️  he/him ▪️ >:3   13:41, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
