Userboxes
Hi Kenelm. You asked me how to 'do' userboxes. Well, here we go. I'll try to make this as simple as possible, but it can be a bit confusing explaining it. Here's some basic code:

If you take that code and reproduce it, then it'll produce a very small box string, with one box identifying yourself as male, aligned to the right. (I presume that you want the box string aligned to the right as it is on my page - if not, then it gets a bit difficult.)

If you want to add other userboxes, then just view the Userbox template:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:WP:UBS

Pretty self-explanatory. The code you need to use for each box will usually be on the left of each page. Supposing you wanted to add a box identifying yourself as apolitical, then you would add to the above code the following:

{| align=right
 * 

'''
 * }
 * }

I presume you can take it from here. Take note that every user box 'line' has to have a |- before it, and one after it. Nor should you delete the |) code just above Userboxbottom, as this will also muck up the code.

Any probs, then get back to me and I'll answer to the best of my ability. :)

P.S, yes, nice to meet another gay teessider! Want to chat at some point?

Unwarranted entry?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Freir

I'm challenging whether the above ex-presenter on 2 internet radio stations is really of sufficient note to have his own entry on here.

Opinions please?

 * If you're unsure of a biographical article's notability, you can try tagging it with Biographies or putting it up for proposed deletion. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 20:17, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Disambiguation
How can you set it up so the entry of a name in the search box takes you straight to a disambiguation page? At the moment both Jim Lee and John Travers take you to a specific entry which is no more significant than the others so being able to go straight to the d/a page would seem fairer.

 * Move the pages currently there to a format, then make the pages they currently occupy into disambiguation pages. You could also simply make them redirect to the disambiguation pages. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 08:00, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Good work on the article. It's a good start and you may want to expand it a bit over time. You can go to the category storytellers and read other articles about storytellers to see what other editors have done. Happy editing. A Softer Answer (talk) 20:10, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Will do, thanks. I'm trying to ascertain his date and place of birth and will expand as and when I get more. Thanks again for your support. KenelmJames (talk) 20:57, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, the bits of info that I added the the reference links were just to give the reader a little bit more information about the links; one useful bit is the date on which it was accessed for use in the article.

There is no 'strict' way of showing links or reference data, but having just the URL can sometimes look ambiguous to the reader; there is actually a bot on Wikipedia that goes around generating titles for refs which are just URLs or have no title (and it sometimes makes some silly titles).

In the simplest form you could just give the URL a title, but many users prefer to give more info, such as where the data comes from, when it was created, ect. You can put this as plain text in the the ref, but some users prefer to use a consistent style, such as the ones that citation templates (such as cite web for web sources) provide.

If you want to read some of Wikipedia's guidelines, see Citing sources and Citation templates.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello KenelmJames! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
