Adoption
Hey, what's up Peter? How was your day? Well, I saw your userpage and I notice that you are seeking adoption from experienced users. If that's the case, then I'd be overjoyed to adopt you! That's if you want me to of course. Think it over first, to see if I'm an okay user to you. Let me know on my talk page when you decide, and sign your post with ~. That automatically produces your name and timestamp. See the above welcome for links and stuff. Oh, and thanks for fixing that mispelling on my user page. :) Much appreciated, good night, and cheers! -- Tohru Honda13 Talk•Sign here 01:59, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So you want me to adopt you? Yeah! Okay, then that's that. I'll start changing userboxes then. ;) Well, to tell you the basics, please, if you have any questions, tell me on my talk page. Be aware that I won't respond immediately, I've got school. It could also depend on time zones (like if we live on opposite ends of the planet). But still, expect a reply from me. Well, that's it from me. Oh, and did you find your answer on signatures? Yes, it's in my preferences (no one can edit your preferences). First you make the code, then copy and paste to your preferences. Read Sign your posts on talk pages. Read the entire page as well :). Cheers! -- Tohru Honda13 Talk•Sign here 02:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Reply to your question
The +92 (or whatever number it was) means how much bytes of information was added. Likewise, -92 means how much bytes of information was deleted.  -92,000 , notice the color. The deeper red means that a lot of bytes were deleted (usually seen as a blanking by vandals, archiving talk pages, reverting a huge amount of vandalism, etc.). Sorry for the late reply. -- Tohru Honda13 Talk•Sign here 22:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks :) --Pete Iriarte 22:13, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

A possible solution.
Policies, eh? Well, take the Three Revert Rule. Or any policy! If you see the top of the page, there will say something like "This page in a nutshell" (with an image of a nutshell:) and it will tell you, of course, a summary of the entire thing in a sentence or two. If you still find it hard to understand, I'm afraid you'll have to keep reading it. Yeas, I know it can be rather dull at times, I thought like that too. Now, I'm reading more policies thoroughly, because it's worth it. You'll understand it in time. Don't you worry. Was this what you were referring to? 'Cause you mentioned policies and I thought, yeah, policies... But nonetheless, if you still find it difficult...tell me what policy you're having trouble with, I'll break it down for you. Don't you worry, I'll stay up all night to make you understand, gradually, what it means. I hope this has helped you! You know, I think I'll find more ways for you to understand. Hmm... -- ♥ Tohru Honda13  ♥ Talk 03:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, you're looking for something that doesn't require too much reading? Hm...that's tricky. I would say the easiest is Copyediting. It's just fixing grammar and what not. But still, there are few things that don't require reading. It's the only way to learn, I'm afraid. But I'll still look into it. -- ♥ Tohru Honda13  ♥ Talk 04:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Copyediting it shall be then, I suppose. :) I do that already. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pete Iriarte (talk • contribs)
 * Well, that was only a suggestion...but if that's what suits you, then so be it. But I still advise you to read policies and stuff like that sometime. Have fun! Could you help here sometime? It still needs copyediting. I do need help, and it's great practice for you! -- ♥ Tohru Honda13  ♥ Talk 04:32, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure :) --Pete Iriarte 04:35, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Superb work at copyediting. I've copyedited those little parts before you did, and you corrected my mistakes. Excellent! Well, just wanted to stop by to comment this to you. Keep up the great work! Cheers! -- ♥ Tohru Honda13  ♥ Talk 06:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, Pete :). Yeah, I had found that page earlier today, but I decided to read it later on. But thanks either way! Heh, i don't feel ike reading it right now.... :) -- ♥ Tohru Honda13  ♥ 00:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

You alright?
It's just I haven't heard from you in a while. Just checking up on you. Remember I'm one click away. Cheers, &mdash; ♥ Tohru Honda13  ♥ 05:24, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * yes, I am doing fine. exploring some of the things I found on wikipedia, and working. not much time for editing lately. Thanks for asking :) Pete Iriarte 20:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm back
It's me, Tohru! I see you've removed your adoptee userbox! Boy, do I feel sad... or was it because you didn't need to be adopted anymore (or just because I left for a day?) Well, If you're still interested in being adopted, put that adopted box back on! :) I created a new account, The Hippie. I haven't heard from you for a while. How's it goin'?

 * cool. thought that you had retired. i'll put the box back :) Pete Iriarte 02:18, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Motto of the day
Hello, I notice you're using one of the motd templates, run by Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hers fold  (t/a/c) 01:46, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Stoob
All right... I'll keep it off until I get a further citation. :P Aw well, not all of us have heard of the lesser known MMORPG terms... but next time, if without a very good reason (no cite, which I noted, in this case) discuss it on the talk page first. That's all.

Removing dead links
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Wyatt Riot (talk) 18:23, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Motto of the Day Help Request April 2014
Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.

Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)


 * This message has been sent by p joe f on behalf of Motto of the Day to all editors of the English Wikipedia who are showing MOTD's templates on their pages, and to all the participants to MOTD: (page, template, and category).
