Why a red user name font?
I am somewhat new to Wikipedia and wonder why my user name is red in the history menu, when other names are blue. Can you help?Goldenwinds (talk) 00:13, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Wasn't sure on the language. Wasn't trying to be a vandal. It is referenced that she is crazy, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IKanHazMonkeyz (talk • contribs) 20:59, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Could you possibly find something for DYK in this new article? -- Nascar 1996   03:26, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I've nominated it at T:TDYK. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  20:20, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, one day I plan to post my own nominations; I've been trying to fingure one out. The red looks nice in your new signature. Also, because of it, I see you are ready for the holidays. :)  Nascar 1996   20:25, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is my holiday signature. :) It will return to normal in January. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  20:38, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to change my signature. I like it how it is. The red will turn into pink one month later. Also, what do you think I should add to the background section of 2011 Daytona 500 when the time comes? (Maybe quotes from media day, some preseason testing results, etc)  Nascar 1996   20:42, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Quotes from the media could be a good thing to add. I'm not sure what else to include. I'm sure we'll find something when the day of the race gets closer. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  20:48, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * We should be able to find others. I'm Happy that I have a break from expanding race articles until Daytona. However, there are some that I would like to complete.  Nascar 1996   20:53, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

New script
I'm just suggesting a new script that can make different kinds of tables. Thanks!  Perseus ( t •  c)    15:53, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you referring to a tool that can add tables to articles? If that's what you were suggesting, then the edit toobar can do that. Click on the insert table button ([[File:Vector toolbar insert table button.png]]) and the table wizard will appear. You can specify the number of rows, number of columns, add a header row, add borders, and even make the new table sortable. An example:


 * The contents of the table will need to be manually added in. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  20:50, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Please help. Lack of hidden comment tool drives me crazy. Also, am computer stupid, so please hold my hand if you point me off to download something.TCO (talk) 00:12, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Advice on how & where to open a can of worms
I have a proposal that I would like to make public in the next day or so. I am unsure of where I could place this notice, and to what degree you might expect a large enough group of people to review it. See this page: User:Uruiamme/Main Page proposal

Your opinion may be helpful, however, my main goal is to let a large group consider it or laugh at it or whatever they feel like doing. The Main Page is getting rather blah these days.

Thanks, I like to saw logs! (talk) 22:23, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Sig title
hello,

on your main page your title is a sig. Is it ? If yes, why it doesn't go in my page? If not, please explain me how you did that. Thank you.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 13:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * DISPLAYTITLE can only display your username. You can customize the appearance of the tile with colors, fonts, etc. with DISPLAYTITLE. You can't alter the text. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  14:14, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't go! Please do it for me! Thank you.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 14:33, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅. It wouldn't work before because you placed a timestamp and a talk page link in the DISPLAYTITLE. It can only display your username. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  14:39, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 13:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

User:Previously banned user
What is the big deal with removing that stupid tag from that user page? That user contributed some valuable content to Wikipedia. 109.155.96.148 (talk) 14:29, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That account is a sock puppet of a banned user. Oh, and according to this edit summary, you appear to be that banned user. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  14:32, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * What about when a banned user makes useful contributions? I just don't like the way you tag these pages as though I were some kind of leper. Won't you be reasonable?  YOu know, ignore all rules or whatever.  Which would you rather do, help bring the sum of all human knowledge to everyone in the world, or insult the people who try to do this.  That 'banned user' wrote this article and many others.  I don't see why your job description is to insult him. 109.155.96.148 (talk) 14:37, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter if they made useful contributions. A banned user is banned. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  14:38, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not talking about being banned. I'm talking about putting these insulting messages on such users' pages.  Don't you follow that?  Do you have any human feelings?   I'm a banned user, but I'm a person too.  What rule actually requires you to put these nasty tags on useful contributors' pages?  109.155.96.148 (talk) 14:40, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

possible vandalism (village pump)
I probably shouldn't have written it - getting a bit bitey with the annoying editor (User talk:Sunflowergal34), I'll take a quick break to cool down a bit anyway, so I don't say anything more that wont help. You gave me a useful prompt. Thanks.83.100.225.242 (talk) 17:49, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Use some common sense in Twinkle next time then tagging stuff for speedy deletion, especially on blatant talk page vandalism creations to the tone of "Talk:Admins...". –MuZemike 07:03, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I was using common sense. Could you please explain? ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  14:40, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
