 * Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you [ watchlist it].
 * The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
 * We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
 * We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
 * The project has a stress hotline available for your use.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill 10:44, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok if you really want to save that article. You need to get to work on it pretty quickly. I think it can be turned into a decent article but at present it is only a cut and paste job. We don't do it like that on Wikipedia. You need to research the topic and write it with a bit of style. See what you can do, but don't leave it like it is as it will get deleted. Oh, and please don't message me on my user page. Use my talk page instead.  Sting_au   Talk  07:29, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Help
Hi, Im having some problems structuring my work (on my user page), it jumps around the page. I think I need help on how to justify, center align (horizontally and vertically). If you can help can you also tellme how to add backrounds, please! Also different fonts if possible. Thanks, Fattyjwoods (talk) 07:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

This here is a prime example, this help templates jumping beside the stripe award and it's annoying, can you solve it and tell me how so I can do it myself in the future, Thanks, Fattyjwoods (talk) 07:40, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Easiest way to deal with pictures is to put them in a gallery.


 * Easiest way to deal with awards is to put them in a two-column table, thus:


 * {| style="background: transparent; width: 100%; font-size: 85%;"


 * width="50%" |
 * width="50%" |
 * - valign="top"
 * }
 * I checked the wikicode for the Wikistripe you got and it was all correct, except it was right-aligned, and as images are programmed to do in Wikipedia it behaves by having the remaining text on the page cut around it - which is what got you that horrible result. The workaround is to change it from left-align to center-align. Now if you don't want it in the center and particularly want it left or right, you can try putting it in a table - and then left or right aligning the table - but I haven't tested this Rfwoolf (talk) 12:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

But my question is can you tell me how to left align, right, vertical, horizontally align. Is there some kind of code. Sorry if I'm a pain. Fattyjwoods (talk) 03:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)



Help I need someone to tell me how to left, right, centre, vertically, horizontally, etc, etc align. If you can’t could you possibly fix up User:Fattyjwoods/Other Stuff, including any awards so that it isn’t bunched up together. Thanks! Fattyjwoods (talk) 03:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I can't tell what you want it to look like - I've edited the page, is this what you want it to look like? —Random832 03:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Could you put it side by side? Great though, how did you do that? Fattyjwoods (talk) 04:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, what do you mean "bunched up together"? I'm confused how that is different from "side by side". 04:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Random832 (talk • contribs)

Don't worry about it then can you just tell me how to left align, right, vertical, horizontally align. Then I can do the rest. Thanks for your help!! Fattyjwoods (talk) 04:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello, Fattyjwoods. You can horizontally align things by adding align="left" or align="center" or align="right" to the appropriate HTML tag.  Note the American spelling of center.  Using centre won't work.  For example,

Your text here
 * Vertical alignment is done with valign instead of align, with the values [top, middle, bottom].
 * Alternatively, you can specify alignment in the style attribute:

Your text here
 * I'd suggest finding an online tutorial on HTML and/or CSS, which will help you learn more about this stuff.

Help (Again)
helpme Sorry, I need a little bit of help (again..) but I would just like to know why there is a white borderlike thing around the game ad and the status bot thing. If it was all even it would be great but it isnt. A bit is wider then the wider. Thanks!!! Fattyjwoods (talk) 06:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * That's because there you created tables. These tables are objects with a background of their own. The pictures within the tables do not cover the whole table, therefore the rest of it is shown in the original color. All you had to do, was to tell the program, which color you want. To show you, how to do, I have done it. Please see Help:Table for more information on tables. Happy editing. --Thw1309 (talk) 07:46, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Help (Third time, *sigh*)
Hi guys, I need a little bit of help. Is it possible to make a signature, that's like fat in the middle and thin around the outside – like a roughly shaped oval ball? That’ll be so cool cause by username’s Fattyjwoods. I know that you can’t have giant signatures but if it’s possible my signature won’t have to be giant! Also, if it’s possible could the helpful person add the count page or the contribution page or whatever you would like to call it. (http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=Fattyjwoods&site=en.wikipedia.org) so that it’s included in my signature? And finally could you link the Special:Contributions page to the signature as well? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Fattyjwoods

So a example would be (without the fat “Fattyjwoods”bit) Fattyjwoods Talk Count Contribution

Thank you very much! Fattyjwoods (talk) 05:26, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry. Best I could do for now. It's already 3-4 lines long, so I don't want to make it even bigger by changing every letter, I don't know how to remove the arrow, if I can. Might want to try asking for help at the help desk from here on. People at WT:SIG might be able to help you refine the signature too (I believe there's a Wikiproject for that somewhere).

Your Report at AIV
I noticed that you said that Thirdman was posting short articles about English villages. That actually isn't against the rules (although that can be argued), even though it has no context. However, you could mark the article with an SD template, because of this "little or no context clause". I believe that he's just introducing the article, not trying to spam us here at Wikipedia. Elenseel (talk) 06:10, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, Ill do that soon, thanks! Fattyjwoods (talk) 06:33, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Wait a sec, SD template - do you mean Speedily deletion template, I've already done that, but a admin took it down and said that the articles were "far from being empty" and said it would be fine. Should I put it up again? Thanks! Fattyjwoods (talk) 03:58, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Byeboerdery and CSD A2
Hi, I'd just like to remind you that CSD A2 applies only to articles that are verbatim copies of an existing article on a foreign-language Wikipedia. (A Google search can be useful for verifying this, or you can just check the appropriate Wikipedia directly if you recognize the language.) Foreign-language articles such as Byeboerdery which do not (yet) exist on another Wikipedia should be tagged with  instead. Thanks, and have a nice day. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 11:02, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * sorry, my bad - but just wondering, why was it deleted then from the English Wikipedia if it could be translated? Thanks Fattyjwoods (talk) 01:30, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
