Userboxes
If anyone out there makes userboxes, I was wondering if you could make some for me or teach me how to make my own. Thanks. --David7581 04:41, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I have made a simple userbox (well, all userboxes are simple) here. If you click 'edit this page', you will see the source of the userbox, which is the base to your own userbox. Simply replace the different variables in the template, according to Userboxes. If you need more help, ask me. Posting on my talk page will be more effective - since I will receive a notification. Cheers.

 * Thanks for that. I think I got it down pretty good. I took your idea, and just played around with it and previewed a lot to see what I changed each time, so I think I'll be alright now. --David7581 21:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

hello. want to be adopted?
hello david.

I would not mind adopting you- and I think I can teach you how to make userboxes too. Check out WP:Userboxes though, if you haven't already. They have some useful tips on adding or creating userboxes.


 * Sure, that would be fine. I have done a good number of contributions, but still am pretty new. Anyway, you're welcome to adopt. --David7581 14:41, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I changed my user page to state the adoption. I've seen the page on the userboxes, but am still unsure of the basics. --David7581 20:13, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I will try my best to guide you through creating a userbox. However I would not be awfully active in the next few weeks due to my vacation.

Vandalism
I followed a vandal and undid three of their edits, but I don't know how to report them or take any other action against the user. The user was using this unregistered IP address. Can someone please tell me how to take action? Thank you. --David7581 03:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You can go to WP:AIV and list that user following the instructions there. An admin should take care of it shortly after you report them.  T Rex  | talk  16:30, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Diacritics
Here we decided to use place names with diacritics and player names without.  T Rex  | talk  16:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the help. --David7581 16:39, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * There was no 'such' agreement. There was no consensus, to 'hide' or 'unhide'. It was unresolved. GoodDay 23:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd recommend you (David7581) restore the 'diacritics' to the birthplaces. If you don't, it may start another 'heated discussion'. Let the pro-diacritics editors, have their way ('cause they usually do [have their way]) . GoodDay 23:36, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * All fixed. Not trying to cause problems, just saw someone else had done it somewhere, and was unaware of the discussion at the time. No hard feelings? --David7581 03:01, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I personally would prefer 'no diacritics'. However, after a long struggle, I've decided to 'throw in the towel' (see: Wikipedia talk: WikiProject Ice Hockey for the 'old' diacritics discussions). GoodDay 18:39, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

page needs fixing?
I can fix up your page if you like. But it depends how you want your page to like.
 * Thanks, but I guess I put it up a little prematurely. I still haven't really decided on how I want it to look yet. But I guess for starters, I don't really know what to mention there besides what I've covered with the userboxes, which you may have noticed I've really worked at. --David7581 05:22, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
