POTD
Hi and thanks for creating the two Picture of the day templates. However, there are some slight issues. First, for March 28, 2007, this image is not ready to be scheduled yet. The POTD is selected from the Featured Pictures (and this is indeed a Featured Picture), but they are done in order of their promotion. You can see the order at Featured pictures thumbs 07 (reverse order). March 27 was a rerun, but March 26's image comes 47 places before the one scheduled, so this image isn't ready to go for a while. For March 29, the image you selected is a Featured Picture on Wikimedia Commons, not here on the English Wikipedia. Please let me know if you have any questions. Regards,  howcheng  {chat} 17:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

POTD scheduling
Due to a general increase in interest in writing the POTD by a number of different Wikipedians, I've created the POTD scheduling guidelines. Please have a look and feel free to schedule more PsOTD. Thanks!  howcheng  {chat} 01:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Uploading Images
How do I upload images on Wikipedia.

 * So, you can see the image that you're wondering about at this page. At the bottom, it states, Copyright © Canada-Maps.org. All rights reserved.. So the copyright belongs to Canada-Maps.org, and they haven't released the image under a free licence. Thanks for being careful about copyrights.

Spelling error on your userboxes page
I know everyone likes seeing that little orange banner at the top of their page showing a new message, so I thought I'd let you know that the correct spelling is "Grammar" not "Grammer", as you have it on your userbox page. You may or may not want to fix it. Useight 02:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Template help?
That Template at the the top of my talk page, called, I was wandering if it is possible to replace the white background with the message that says "Send me a new message", with this image? - Nocturnal Wanderer  Sign here!  00:45, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Never mind, figured it out. :-)

Template formatting
Hi! I noticed you've formatted a few userboxes from wikicode to HTML, and I was just wondering why. Seeing as this is, after all, wiki, what's wrong with the code it has? Everything I've seen suggests that using wikicode here is much preferred over HTML, as well, but perhaps there's a reason I'm missing? -Bbik ★ 08:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Really? Wouldn't have expected that, but ok.  Please do revert those edits though, if only for the simplicity/size of the coding. -Bbik ★ 17:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have reverted them. (I like it better too). - Nocturnal Wanderer  Sign here!  17:57, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see the confusion. I meant the actual templates (User da-0, User ga-0, and User wiki lang were the ones I noticed, don't know if there were more), while you understood me to be referring to your user page.  I don't much care how you format your user page, that's your space.  I'll go fix those three templates, but if there were more, can you deal with them? -Bbik ★ 18:14, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Since you've found them, you might as well -- HTML works, but having everything standardized makes it all far easier. As for the wikicode ones not working when subst-ed, I don't know what the matter would've been with that, maybe there's some sort of catch, but I can't imagine what it'd be.  Bad luck? -Bbik ★ 20:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Congrats!
Congrats on finding my first secret page! It was supposed to be realllly easy, as it's the first a series of increasingly harder to find secret pages. =) Have you looked for the second? hmwith  talk  20:49, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
