Hello, thou human beings of the twenty-first century!

Okay. Will someone please delete that, I sound like such a nerd. Quote of the/da/teh week (update if you want)-- “BORE, n. A person who talks when you wish him to listen. ” -"The Devils Dictionary"

(I hope this does not pertain to any of you.)

Userboxes
Hi -- the boxes on my user page are called userboxes, and you can get a full list of them and see how to use them by going here: WP:UBX Hope that helps. Happy editing, and feel free to ask me if you have questions about editing. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again.--Da.Tomato.Dude

Hi -- was this more like how you wanted it? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 16:15, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you're a genius. I shall now hang my head in shame.--Da.Tomato.Dude
 * Haha, no big deal. One good way to organize userboxes so you don't get them jumbled up is to keep spaces between them, and you might even want to keep the and  tags unsubst ed so it's clear where the userboxes begin and end. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 16:22, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah. That's now on my *THINGS TO NEVER EVER EVER FORGET* list. *bursts into song* AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! --Da.Tomato.Dude


 * SHOOT!!!! SOMEONE DELETED EVERYTHING! :OAIGEHRJQA:EIQRJSOIGHEOWIRA:WETIG QEO~!!!!!!!! AAAAARGGGGGGGGGH!!!! *sniffles in corner* --Da.Tomato.Dude


 * YEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!! IT'S BACK!!!!! *does little jigs around the room* THANK YOU MR. INVISIBLE DUDE!!! *hugs computer* I AM HAPPY!!! I have no clue what has just happened, but all I know is that it is back!!! YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAA!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! TRALALALALALALALALA....--Da.Tomato.Dude

This guy edited both your user page and my talk page. User:Rsm99833 took care of your problem. Looks to me like someone was just testing the site, no biggie. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 08:53, 10 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you administrator what-not people!! I am very happy that my site was restored completely.--Da.Tomato.Dude

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Da.Tomato.Dude - I like your name too :)

How do you create links to other pages, easy! Just put two square brackets on each side like this User talk:Glen S - that comes out User talk:Glen S! These are called wikilinks. If it is a link outside Wikipedia use one square bracket on each side and list the whole URL like which comes out ! (Note even tho I linked to the same page here, you can put any website in between the brackets :) Note, if that a wikilink is red like User talk:Glen S/Red link --> it means it hasnt been created yet. To do that, just press the red link, and hit edit at the top! Simple!

Okay! Basically, to help get you settled in, I've added a few links that you might find useful. Here are some policy pages all about how things work here (yes they are a bit boring but they'll really help you!)


 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Community Portal
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How to edit a page
 * How to revert to a previous version of a page
 * Tutorial
 * Copyrights
 * Shortcuts

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

Here's a couple of more fun places for new users to start:


 * Esperanza - an awesome group of really friendly editors (like me!) :)
 * The Welcoming committee - good chance to meet new users like yourself
 * Department of Fun - name says it all!

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information! If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself here and whatever you do, being shy is not allowed here, so edit away and BE BOLD!

Also take a look at some of the stuff in the welcome message below - pop me a message anytime and most of all have fun! :) Thanks! Gl e n 01:39, 12 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Fixed your smiley :) Just make the 200px bit any size you want. I'll reply to your other queries soon, but to add a page, type it into the search box, hit go, then when it cant be found hit the link to create it :) Back soon buddy Gl e n 02:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks a bunch and bunch and bunch and bunch and bunch. *reads on* Ahhhhh...I get it! (And I ususally dont say that often). I'll go do that and THEN find my floor. Where is this dang thing.. -Da.Tomato.Dude

"Popping up"
Hi again -- when you say, "how do I get a new page to pop up", do you mean in a new window? Because I'm really not sure how to do that on here, if it's even possible. In regular HTML, you would use a target tag like so:""Sorry I can't be of more help on this. Maybe you could poke around either Help:Editing or http://meta.wikimedia.org/ ? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 02:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and thanks for my barnstar! I didn't even notice it until now. That's awfully sweet of you, and I appreciate it. (Not sure if I qualify as kind by any stretch of the imagination, but many thanks.) -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 02:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Its just that usually when I ask for help I get pie all over my face.--*SMILYS FOR ALL!* 02:54, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay, for user subpages, you just append it to your user space with a slash, like so: User:Omicronpersei8/Archives Does that answer it? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 02:54, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. Aaa...subpages. Usually I call them thing-a-ma-doo-dads. Useful peice of advice. --*SMILYS FOR ALL!* Da.Tomato.Dude 02:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Heeeey

Emmy
Hi DTD- this is Emily. Sorry if this is the wrong place to edit info and put stuff, but I couldn't find a better place so here I am. My mom is still "thinking" abotu Saturday, so I don't know about that yet... I made a webpage so we could talk back and forth since our emails don't connect. Look at  www.emilyreindeer.i8.com (I think that's the right URL). Comment on the ChatterBox! Send me an email when you get this, please, because I can see your emails even though you can't see mine.

Adoption
Hello, ! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. I accept your request, being an experienced editor myself. Whether you want to learn about wiki markup, find something to do, or just talk to somebody, I'm the one you can talk to - just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck with Wikipedia! --Daniel Olsen 03:11, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Little Thingy
For the very basic one. Here is the code: Online

Note Don't copy the "NoWiki" part.

And then copy and paste that code to the top of your user page. It should appear at the top of the page. Hope that helps.-- S kully Collins Edits 07:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Emazing
DTD! I made an account. It is: emazing. Can you like "make friends" on here as in can we message back and forth? I loved your story, it was fabulous. I don't know how to send it back to you though... hope you're having a good weekend! Arrg! WHy won't this show up?

Hey E! Okay, so here's what you do...... =     E•M•A•Z•I•N•G! Isn't it? . (this is you, click on it-->) E•M•A•Z•I•N•G! Isn't it? Post a reply if you *still* don't get it.

Eep - Sadly, I still do not get it. I love the signature thoguh - it's even pink! It is truly emazing. haha I like the HGWells quote the best for your email signature, but I can think of some others to... Perhaps something about banning louses and *those whose stories should not be mentioned* (haha - feel free to delete that.) I still don't get where to put the signature. I love ot though. See you tomorrow!

Haha, well..... Okay, when you post replies/answers to things, you have to put in a signature. Yours is above, but you may want to change the font size to 5, to avoid ending up with cream pies all over your face (pixalized, of course). All you do is copy and paste! See ya, DTD

I think I kind of get it. I'm haveing one of those days. I'm in a real funk. Let me warn you ahead that I will not be myself tomorrow at school. This is a long term funk. I miss you tonight. Yes I know I sound weird. E•M•A•Z•I•N•G! Isn't it?

E•M•A•Z•I•N•G! Isn't it? is your code. :) I'll write to you later. Hope your funk is better

uhhh- gues who had a fun afternoon with all their bobbleheads. (ya know what i mean..) they're better than the real people, though, because i have dominion of the bobbleheads. and therefore they do my bidding: namely, shut up and go away. that's why you were not part of my bobbleheads. the bobbleheads are also the bubbleheads. you are not a bubblehead and therefore are not in my collection. i need to come up with a different way to draw the people i like. anyway, care to have partial dominion over my bobbleheads with me? oh look - that last one (who if you remembers name rhymed with "buffy" and "stuffy") just went away.. for good. i iwish...

uhh - i keep thinking today is friday.

E•M•A•Z•I•N•G! Isn't it?

Heh...well, if it makes you feel better, today is F..R..I..D..A..Y!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoooooooooooo........................Celebrate! Tracchachachalalalala, goopie doopie lahw, lah, chee chee caha....:) Have a good, uherm, Friday.   DTD

you were on a roll today! not only did my purse seem distateful by pointing out it's possible preppy-ness, you said my username was like something a certain someone who should not be mentioned might use. ewwwwwwwwwww - that was too much for me! i changed my username and burned my purse. (actually, i didn't burn the purse, but as you can see i did make a new username) hopefull alot less like like something a certain someone who should not be mentioned might use. man i typed "like something a certain someone who should not be mentioned might use." alot of times.. oh well. you get the point.

i hope you have a good weekend! also, thanks for the note in my sign in binder! :-)

mmm - i need to talk to you. i have nothing to say, i just need to talk to you. it's been ona those days... except it's been going on for weeks. i hope your weekend is good, i know you've been having a sort of crumby week of your own. see you monday ((hopefully - my mom may make me stay home; she's been theatening...))

Ah. One of "those days", huh. *grunt* *does weird dance* Actually, I'm supposed to be doing my homework right now, but I'll take a break to check my e/wikimail. *yawn* I am so super bored...

Howdy-do
Did you just go editing everything you've ever edited on a talk page with your new signature thing? If so, that's rather fantastic. In fact...it is still pretty fantastic either way. I commend you on it XD Take care, Vignettelante 01:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

 * You fixed errors on someones talk page. It is not vandalism. I just was not careful enough. Just to let you know some people really do not like others editing there user space, even if it is not vandalism. So try not to do that. Sorry. Have a nice week and god bless :) --James, La gloria è a dio 21:58, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

 * What kind of work do you do here? Anti-vandalism stuff? Article writting? Both? It makes me mad people destroy articles also but we can revert it with almost no effort and all they are doing is hurting themselves. Peace:)) --James, La gloria è a dio 22:08, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Would you like a few tools that will help you with fighting vandalism? I'll be happy to give you some. Peace:) --James, La gloria è a dio 22:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Your signature
Hi - could you please tone down your signature a few nothches? At the moment, it is far too long and garish, and in mulitple violations of WP:SIG. Please will you sort this out - it's an annoying waste of space for many users, when you can be just as contactable (infact, more contactable) using a simple sig. Mart inp23 23:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. Please change it. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 23:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I feel that it's still too large (pysically), and will readily annoy and sitract on discussion pages. Something like this may be better:  D T D  (or size="4") Mart inp23 17:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Your signature should not blink, or otherwise inconvenience or be annoying to other editors.
 * If you are to lazzy to look through the article, here is where I feel the violation is.


 * Markup such as tags (which produce big text), or line breaks (  tags) are to be avoided, since they disrupt the way that surrounding text displays
 * Be sparing with superscript or subscript. In some cases, this type of script can also affect the way that surrounding text is displayed
 * Avoid making your signature so small that it is difficult to read
 * In consideration of users with vision problems, be sparing with color. If you must use different colors in your signature, please ensure that the result will be readable by people with color blindness.


 * Peace:) --James, La gloria è a dio 22:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


 * 1) You signed my autograph page (thanks!), but your signature was way too big I suggest going to Sean gorter's signature shop to get a cool signature. He's given out GREAT signatures.

Poem page
Hi. Sorry, but your page User:Da.Tomato.Dude/Spiffy Poems That Need To Be Edited violates our user page policy. Wikipedia is not a place for collaborative editing of your poems. Please place a db-userreq tag on it so it can be properly deleted. Thanks. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 15:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Your signature
Your signature, as it appears here, violates WP:SIG: it does not provide your username, an approximation of it, or any other way for a user reading messages to be able to identify who it is from (ie, it is confusing). Please change it accordingly. thank you. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It just occurred to me that perhaps you customized your sig simply for that user's autograph page. If that's the case, fine. But please make sure than any signature you use in actual talk pages adhere to WP:SIG. Thanks. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Moving your talkpage
I've undone your move of your talk page. Apart from it being a totally ridiculous idea, you violated GFDL by performing a copy-paste move, violating everyone's copyright ownership of their talk posts. I suggest you don't do silly things like that, even though you somewhat prove my point by doing it. --Deskana (talk)  17:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
