Fellow Oregonian
Hello, I noticed that you are using the template. Just wondering where you found it, and if there are any improvements that you can think of. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one using it! --Dschor 00:21, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Protecting your userboxes
Because of the current campaign against userboxes, it's pretty likely that many of your boxes are going to get deleted from their template space soon (especially your Flying Spaghetti Monsterism box and your political boxes, but in general, any boxes that could be considered to express a point of view someone might disagree with). These templates could very possibly be deleted in the next week or two. The best (and really, only) way to protect those userboxes is to perform a "substitute" command on each one of them, which will put the code directly into your page, instead of calling on the template every time your page is loaded. That way, when the template is deleted, it has no effect on the code resident on your page.

In order to do this, go into your user page, and wherever you have a template, insert "subst" inside the brackets. So,

becomes

and your userboxes will all take up residence on your page. Sometimes this makes the formatting funky, and will require some tweaking in the code to restore the layout of your boxes as they were before. If you have any questions about this, please drop me a line. Regards, JDoorj a m    Talk 23:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Old page on your website
Hi, a long long time ago on your website you had a humour page about Sailor Moon 200+ episodes. I was wondering if you still have it somewhere, maybe on your harddrive. I seem to remember thinking it was pretty funny. You should put it back up. Hazelorb 00:25, 20 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks!! That page is too funny to be offline. XD Hazelorb 19:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Pusher (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Swedish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
