Editing

If you're asking how to start a new paragraph, that just requires hitting the enter key twice. You can also create a horizonal line by typing 4 dashes like so:

Requests for adminship/DuctoMan16
Please don't make frivilous requests for adminship. android 79  19:35, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Why? I Will If I Want To. DuctoMan 19:39, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Because your request has no chance of succeeding. You have one article edit to your credit, and it's vandalism . See Requests for adminship/Standards. android  79  19:40, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure I didn't edit that. Oh Well. DuctoMan 19:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Even if you didn't, it doesn't matter. We expect that candidates for adminship for the project to have actually participated in the project. I can give you some reading material if you're interested in editing articles, but if you're only here to mess around, please find something else to do with your time. android  79  19:47, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Wait a minute! I've done plenty of good edits, where did they all go? DuctoMan 19:45, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If you made edits while not logged in, they won't show up in that list. Also, if you made edits to deleted pages, they won't show up either. android  79  19:47, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I know I log in when I edit stuff, and I'm not here to play around.DuctoMan 19:51, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay. Here's some stuff to read, along with the standard welcome message:

Vandalism
No one helped me in time. I'm leaving
 * Wow, you waited a whole ten minutes. What's the problem? android  79  20:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I forgot. DuctoMan 13:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, yeah. I wanted to help stop vandilism on wikipeida, because there is not much i can do in the way of articles, and I want to be a good wikipedian, so I was wondering what I can do to help. I saw the thing on the Counter Vandilism Unit, but I wanted to ask about it before I just started doing stuff. DuctoMan 13:47, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm leaving, I'll be back around 2:15. DuctoMan 14:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey, you guys can respond to vandalism in a matter of seconds, but you can't help me in time? Why?


 * Sorry you think we're too slow, like everyone we are volunteers, be patient and someone will get here in the end. Now how can I help? --pgk( talk ) 19:36, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thats ok, I wanted to help stop vandilism on wikipeida, because there is not much i can do in the way of articles, and I want to be a good wikipedian, so I was wondering what I can do to help. I saw the thing on the Counter Vandilism Unit, but I wanted to ask about it before I just started doing stuff. DuctoMan 19:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * OK I saw that above, what inparticular did you want to ask about? The page cleaning up vandalism is a good starting point. --pgk( talk ) 19:40, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but I wanted to know if i had to sign up for the Counter vandalism unit, or just put that thing on my page.DuctoMan 19:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, my IP address keeps getting blocked because of vandals, my IP address is a public high school's, so I wanted to know if I could be exempt from autoblock.
 * There is no signing up required, everyone is a volunteer and any work they do removing vandalism is down to them personally, there are no special priveleges or anything like that. If you want to put the userbox on your page you can, but again you don't have to it has no special significance. Regarding blocks at the moment there is no way to exempt anyone from the block of an IP address, so no you can't be exempted in anyway. (There are changes being proposed to allow established editors to not be caught by such blocks but it is unknown if/when those changes will happen) --pgk( talk ) 19:50, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * All Right. Where is that proposal? I'd like to support it. I'm sick of being autoblocked because of ElRyoGuy and "SockPuppetSoldiers."DuctoMan 19:56, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Blocked Again
I was blocked again because of someone named "SockPuppet" or something like that. I'm sick of this.


 * Well if you let me know who the blocking admin is (and your IP and all details in the block message) I can contact them for you.--Commander Keane 19:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Here is what I have;

You were blocked by Wayward Reason given: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "SockPuppet001". The reason given for SockPuppet001's block is: " Your username has been blocked indefinitely because it is either inappropriate or too similar to an existing username (see our blocking policy for more information). You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under a more appropriate username, and in a constructive manner. See Wikipedia:Username for guidance on selecting an appropriate username. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia under an inappropriate username. If you would like to discuss the block, you may edit your talk page or email the administrator who blocked you.

Due to Wikipedia's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism, we will remove that block as soon as possible—if this doesn't happen within an hour or so, please email an administrator and explain the situation (see the list of administrators).


 * It should be fixed now. Is it?--Commander Keane 19:43, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes it is, thanks. DuctoMan 20:00, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Just so you know, what you suffered was an autoblock. The admin did not block you, the MediaWiki software blocked your IP becasue a vadal used that IP recently (just coincidence). We are working on ways to stop "collateral damage" like what you suffered.--Commander Keane 09:18, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Uhhh
Why are people so damn mean to people starting out on the wiki like you and I? --DragonWR12LB 08:52, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * People aren't mean, they just don't understand that my IP address is a public one. DuctoMan 13:21, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes

 * Hey, would anyone know where to find a list of all the userboxes like "this user is a native speaker of english", etc.? DuctoMan 13:25, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, I found it. DuctoMan 13:27, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Do you need some help, I noticed the helpme?--Commander Keane 16:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Is there a way to create your own userboxes? As you can see, I've become very fond of userboxes. DuctoMan 19:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Never mind, I found it. DuctoMan 23:16, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

DuctoMan16 is now creating userboxes. DuctoMan 19:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi this is your aquaintance, Joey Smith, How goes Life? No not really, im just saying hi.

HI JOEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW ARE YOU!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! DUCTOMAN!!!

Taunting
Don't taunt other users. android 79  19:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Aww... But it's funnier that way. DuctoMan 19:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I won't. DuctoMan 19:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

How about, instead of taunting them, I throw virtual fruit at them, or I put the standard vandalism message on their page. Where are those anyways? DuctoMan 19:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No,
 * no need to warn someone who's already been blocked, and
 * test, test2, etc. Don't use these unless it's clear-cut vandalism, and use subst:. android  79  19:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Virtual Fruit!
<div style="float:; border:px solid ; margin:1px;">

All right, how do you put the picture in there? DuctoMan 19:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't. Why don't you find some actual articles to contribute to? That's what this project is for, you know, not just futzing around on your userpage with silly boxes. android  79  19:54, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I dont have much to do in the way of articles, as I mentioned somewhere earlier, so I'm trying to stop vandalism (but you guys are so fast, I have no chance to), and creating userboxes. I just wanted to know the code to put a picture on a page. DuctoMan 19:57, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

You can't use external or local images; they must be uploaded. Image uploading instructions are at Uploading images. Please read Image use policy before uploading anything. android 79  20:03, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Ok, settle down. Email pgk (calmly) and tell him what is going on. If I see him I will tell him also. Is there a way to stop the vandalism from your school? That would solve the problem and the IP could be unblocked. Be patient, pgk will swing by.--Commander Keane 19:13, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

YEA! I'M UNBLOCKED!
NOW I CAN HELP WIKIPEDIA AND STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS! Someone has been horrible on my IP talk page. Ha, Ha for them, they got blocked! Now that my block expired, I am semi happy again. I must see that My IP Address is not blocked again. Hmmmmmmm... DuctoMan 18:20, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I will go and see my IP talk page for a minute.DuctoMan 18:22, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah.
I like being pretty random. and giving out awards for that is even more random. RANDOM!!!!!!!!!

DuctoMan 18:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, being funny and random is pretty funny to me too. In fact, really, my favorite thing to do is be funny and make people laugh.

DuctoMan 18:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

QVRS
I see that you joined the QVRS to help fight vandalism. While this is wonderful, I would suggest that you join the COunter Vandalism Unit. The CVU has been around longer and the QRVS has been rejected, But you are a trruly wonderful contributor to want to join a noble cause. American Patriot 1776 21:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I already joined the CVU. I have the userbox and everything.

Bizarre comments
Please do not leave spammish comments on talk pages such as "AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", it is considered vandalism. H ig hway Rainbow Sneakers 19:12, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

No, that was not meant to be Vandalism, that was an expression of extreme disgust. Not vandalism. No. DUCTOMAN!!!!!! 14:12, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

If you are talking about the SSB:Brawl Page, I was just very upset that someone would make a video game with 50 cent, much less include him in SSB:Brawl. Yep.
