My own userboxes
I created my own userboxes, you can check them out on my user page :) Giggity Giggity GOO! 16:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Question
How do i make a table to the right so i can put my own userboxes in it? Giggity Giggity GOO! 15:19, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Like this:

Questions
Hi Mschel.Thanks for welcoming me! How do I get a user page like yours/ What is a user box? Is there a page with tags that I can use to tag articles? Thanks! Cooliocheck1 00:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey! Thanks for asking! I have answered your questions below.
 * Getting a cool userpage is hard, mine took a long time and it is not even very good. If you like I could help you make your userpage and model it after mine.
 * A userbox is a little box that goes on your userpage that should tell something about you.
 * I do not think there is a list of all article tags, as that would be a HUGE list. What kind of tags are you looking for? You can find lists of certain types of tags.

Thanks!
Thank you for reverting Casey19's vandalism on my user page. Here's an award for doing that:
 * Your welcome! Thanks for the award! -- M s  c  h  e  l  02:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You're very welcome! Once again, thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page!  JONJONBT  talk • homemade userboxes  03:01, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I have a question... what are your three favorite colors? (it's so I can give you a code to redo your userpage...) Thanks and bye!  JONJONBT  talk • homemade userboxes  14:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Black, blue, and green. --Mschel 15:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * OK! The code's on your userpage!  JONJONBT  talk • homemade userboxes  01:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks man! I modified a few things to make them conform with my personal taste, and added it to the other pages in my userspace. --Mschel 13:31, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Yaiy!
Thanks for the welcome back. :D The situation's still pretty much the same, but I realised that I was spending time on WP anyways. I even started a new account on the Tamil language Wikipedia... Can you imagine?! Anyways, doing some NP patrolling... RC is boring these days cos vandalism is down. :( a JC freak y A k  13:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I wanted to ask you - why'd u change your sign? I liked the colourful thingy. Anyways, a quick question. I wanted to infect you with the love cabal but the heart icon clashes with the Viginia Tech ribbon that you've got. Any idea on a workaround for this? a JC freak y A k  15:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I changed my sig because I have NO artistic eye, and there seemed to be general consensus that it was dorky, so I took their word for it. I figured out a way to have them both there, but then decided that you can just remove it anyway. :) --Mschel 15:36, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

How do you...
How do you use Trace Bitmap in Inkscape???  J o nj on b t  22:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * In your menu go to "Path" --> "Trace Bitmap...". In the window that opens, select "Colors", make sure "Smooth" is not checked. Set the number of scans to the number of colors you want to have in the image. Click "OK" to make it trace the bitmap. It will probably take a few tries to get what you want. In the "Trace Bitmap" dialog you can optimize the trace by changing things in the options tab. --Mschel 23:21, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

A question about Inkscape...
How do you crop? I'm working on converting the Macy's logo into SVG. help please!!! Thanks! <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Jonathan  (formerly Jonjonbt)  22:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * This is a little cryptic, so I will not be offended if you do not understand: Go to File --> Document Properties, and find the part that says "Custom Size". Adjust the height and width till you get what you want (you will probably need to move the objects around on the document to get it right). Alternatively if you just want to eliminate blank space around the edges, you can select all objects you wish to be in the picture and click "Fit page to selection". Was this what you wanted? --Mschel 22:55, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I just uploaded this image as an SVG and it's still has the "Show Picture" thing when you try to look at it...help!!!!! <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Jonathan  (formerly Jonjonbt)  03:14, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * O no. That problem is the bane of my vector existence, to be honest, I don't know how to fix it. But as for that image, I noticed that the vector version is much larger then the PNG is is a version of which defeats the whole purpose of vectorization. With an image that complicated it is not possible to make a good vector version. Sorry.:( --Mschel 12:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

StatusBot
About a week ago, I added the StatusBot category to a few userpages of members of the CVU taskforce, for the purpose of adding the ustatus template to the list on the member page. Some users have disagreed with this, so I am going through the user talk pages of people I added the category to. Would you mind keeping the category, or would you prefer it to be removed? If you want it removed, you may delete your subpage of User:StatusBot/Status, in this case, User:StatusBot/Status/Mschel, and remove the category from your userpage. This will hide the ustatus template and stop it being re-activated. Thanks! Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 01:30, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think I understand the question. Sorry. --Mschel 02:15, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Reminder to Mentor
Hola Mentors!

Im sending you this reminder because you volunteered to mentor my students in English Advanced B as they become contributing members of the Wikipedia community. We start working with Wikipedia in earnest next week. I ask you to take a look at your entry in the Mentor Table at School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Mentors

Please update the information, esp. with what your technical and informational expertise is or, if you have decided that you no longer want to participate, please remove your information from the table. Please watch the pages associated with the project. Students will contact you via your user page and as soon as my students have user pages, I will put them on the navigation bar associated with the project.

I don’t need to remind you that your job is NOT to write their assignments for them, of course. I certainly will tell my students that… and the fact that you are volunteers that don’t have to help them… so they need to be nice. If any students misbehave (tho I don’t expect it) don’t hesistate to contact me and I will take care of it. The goal of this project is to integrate successfully into the Wikipedia community. Anyway… what I really need your help with is helping students get oriented to Wikipedia, make appropriate changes and write about appropriate topics (see School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Syllabus for assignments). I also need your technical expertise… I am only an English teacher after all! I appreciate what technology does for us but I am no technical expert!

Again, thank you for volunteering and you will hear from us again soon! Thelmadatter 19:34, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Thelmadatter

 * Can you filter out white to make it transparent? <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Jonathan  Remember 9/11/01.   21:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Re:Search engine
I do not have an opinion on Wikia, but I'm unhappy, when someone is trying to "contribute" on article before knowing a single thing on the subject, but starting push dubious POV and then using Google search to support it.--Lokyz 18:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Evidence

 * Excuse me?! And now you think I'm his sock? Wow. --Mschel 22:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Did you not notice the OBVIOUS paedophilic nature of the image in the link I provided you with? Given such evidence no-one can possibly refute my allegations. I can therefore only (reasonably) assume that any accounts still complying with the JPS are his sockpuppets. Timessome 22:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism
Me placing suspected sockpuppet tag on that person's talk page is not vandalism, you removing the tag is vandalism. It's not my job to prove anything to anyone here, it's you believe it or you don't believe it.

RE: User:EpicFlame
Hey there, I responded to the recent concerns on this user's talkpage. Like I said there, I do apologize if it seemed a bit hasty, and the block can reduced to a definite limit, but I stand by my judgment that the user was doing more harm than good. GlassCobra 01:33, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Negation
Miranda's comment "Orangemike != Orangemarlin" meant Orangemike is not Orangemarlin; the exclamation point signifies "not". See also negation. Hope that alleviates your confusion. Picaroon (t) 02:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

 * look for a sunken war ship aroud the area then click on it and follow the link.
 * then click the link "view in google earth" save it.


 * then go to file open on your main toolbar at the top of google earth and open the file.


 * if the overlay isn't up go to the red sid bar and put a check in the box next to appropriate file. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ANOMALY-117 (talk • contribs) 22:41, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
