User talk:GregNorc

Editable user pages
Well, it's the same reason that any other page is editable, Greg. This is a wiki, and all pages are created equal (except protected ones). There was some discussion about protecting user pages a while ago, but there wasn't a consensus to change how things are done. Most users don't mind if others make fixes or corrections on their user pages. Andre ( talk )A| 20:41, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)


 * Well, feel free to clutter up my talk page. However, Village pump is a good place to ask questions. Andre ( talk )A| 01:16, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

MK ULTRA
I removed this article from WP:FAC because it's already a featured article. Andre ( talk )A| 02:24, Dec 1, 2004 (UTC)


 * Ah, then you want Wikipedia talk:Tomorrow's featured article. Andre ( talk )A| 15:16, Dec 1, 2004 (UTC)

Re: Keeping track of my user pages...
Firstly, user pages should show up fine on your watchlist. Secondly, if you want one of your own pages deleted, use the tag to state that you own the page and want it deleted. Andre ( talk )A| 21:59, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism
I try ;) The best way to get the community's attention would be to list the user at Vandalism in progress. Also, if the edits aren't clearly vandalism but seem suspicious in some way, you can list the user at RC patrol. Happy editing, -- Hadal 21:30, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Well, since the ViP page is so clogged I think it'd be best if you limited your reporting to those users who are particularly persistent or malicious. For example, those you've noticed returning over the course of several hours or days, or perhaps a user who decided to move a bunch of pages to inappropriate titles. You're free to use the templates: admins don't have any special authority over non-admins, they just have a few extra tools that make handling troublesome users a bit easier (like the ability to block them). -- Hadal 21:40, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Re: editing your user page
Hey, my pleasure. Your user page said not to edit it, so naturally I had to find something on it that needed fixing :P --Jeff 00:35, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Image codes
You can't use the Image: code for offsite images, you need to upload them. Andre ( talk )A| 12:45, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)

oh. GregNorc

Yea, he's right. You have to use the Wikipedia image hoster rather than Imageshack. Plus make sure you capitalize the filename extension from .png to .PNG as it won't load either unless you do that. I had this trouble but then realized what the problem was.Riffsyphon1024 00:00, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Your questions
Firstly, there's no way I know of to filter uploaded images out of recent changes.

Secondly, the problem with your sig is the extra wikilink. The Wikipedia software automatically inserts to the beginning and  to the end. If you take these elements out of your signature in your preferences, it should show up properly. And I don't mind that you borrowed my code :) Andre ( talk )A| 23:26, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)


 * No problem. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask, as always. Andre ( talk )A| 03:59, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)

America's Army
Hey Greg, as someone that currently edits the America's Army article I wanted to inform you of a current RFC on one of the user's (anon IP) that also edits the page. Take a look at Requests for comment/62.52.37.xxx. Thanks K1Bond007 01:40, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)

Request
I am asking past editors of the Karl Rove page to weigh in on a survey. If you can spare a couple of minutes, please visit this page: Talk:Karl Rove/September Survey, read the introduction, and answer the three questions that have been posed. Thank you. paul klenk 09:18, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Mostly Harmless
If I had a penny for every time someone has made that edit, I'd have enough to buy lunch at least. Please don't. Thanks.--Alf <sup style="color:green;">melmac 03:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Your sig
Hi there...I noticed that your sig was severely broken in a recent edit, so I fixed your post. I'm not sure what's going on with it, but I do know that the raw signature box on the user profile page is pretty picky about html and wikitext. — Travis talk  11:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll change it to plaintext I guess. I rarely edit wikipedia (only when I'm reading and notice something wrong) so I'm not too good with the markup they have here.
 * I'd be glad to take a stab at fixing it up for you, if you'd like. — Travis talk  05:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks a lot. I guess how sigs are handled changed, one of the admins had a similar sig and made the broken version for me, it was working fine for a long time. Thanks again, I appreciate it. - GregNorc  ( talk ) 19:30, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
