Sticking my finger in the DYK
Hello friendly adopter! =)

I've put my toe in the crazy waters of DYK to comment on some of the nominations there. Would you mind having a looksee at my comments at T:TDYK and send me any feedback you might have? Many thanks!-- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;  06:36, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * They look good to me. All of your comments address the issues or !issues and in the style that seems to be common there, so that's great. Good job getting involved in a new department! PrincessofLlyr  royal court 13:31, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much m'lady!! =)-- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;  15:07, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, good luck with DYK. I know nothing at all about it as I don't really get involved with the main page much so I can't really comment on your edits there.  I answered you about that other matter on my talkpage, BTW  --Jubilee♫ clipman  01:22, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Shouting Business
Anyhoo, thank you. :)  Hi 8 7 8   (Come yell at me!) 01:32, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * There we go. :)  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 01:33, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you enjoyed it! I like making other people happy - it makes me smile. I like the new sig. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 01:34, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * : )  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 01:53, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Welcome back
Hope you had a nice relaxing break --Jubilee♫ clipman  23:58, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Funny how I just mentioned the fact that you'd disappeared. Add Oh, and on User:Brambleclawx/newuserpage, I tried to use those navbox things you use don your userpage, but I couldn't get all the userboxes to fit... any idea how to keep the ubx's and CTable inside? Bramble  claw  x   23:58, 26 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Nope. But I messed with it a little and did manage to get it spaced so that they aren't overlapping. Not quite as aesthetically pleasing, but readable. I can show you if you want. I'm terrible with tables and such. Oh, and Jubilee, thanks for the welcome back! I did have a very refreshing but slightly exhausting break. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 16:32, 28 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Owzat? ;)  Set Sail   For The   Seven Seas   265° 14' 30" NET   17:40, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You are brilliant! PrincessofLlyr  royal court 18:13, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow! Thanks!  Bramble  claw  x   22:40, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * All it is really is adding tables and most importantly, cellpadding. Generally, the userboxes are all different sizes so they won't align up nicely. Cell padding gives each cell extra space so that they can align up properly. Where there's a will, there's a way! :)  Set Sail   For The   Seven Seas   348° 42' 0" NET   23:14, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep. I need to start learning a bit more coding, especially if I hope to create the ref template I one day hope to write.  Bramble  claw  x   23:18, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Ref template? Is that or something similar?   Set Sail   For The   Seven Seas   351° 29' 45" NET   23:25, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

My goal is to one day write a template that would do something like this: Sample text, blah, blah, blah. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

 * That sounds really interesting. It definitely got my interest. It's nice to have a challenge like that. The only problem is I might beat you to it now. :)  Set Sail   For The   Seven Seas   348° 4' 30" NET   23:12, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * How was your wikibreak slightly exhausting? I thought wikibreaks were to let you rest! AirplanePro RadioChecklist 00:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe she climbed the Munros? Brambleclawx: your template looks fantastic!  I assume it would only add the ref section if it didn't already exist...?  The idea of joining quote and ref is great though and I am surprised no one else has created such a template.  BTW, to whom it may concern: it is all kicking off again at WP:PED (and on Jimbo's talkpage).  It looks like the camps are starting to polarise...  Oh dear  --Jubilee♫ clipman  00:49, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The template does sound like a good idea. I feel like I climbed a few mountains on wikibreak (actually, come to think of it, I did)! It was exhausting because I was on vacation and those are never relaxing. I very seldom take wikibreaks to relax, just catch up on crazy real life stuff. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 01:26, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh. I think one of these days I'll create a template without looking at the guide just to prove to myself I can. AirplanePro RadioChecklist 01:39, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Creating templates is one of the hardest things you can do on WP. There is so much code that goes into them that they can end up almost impossible to understand from the edit window.  Have a look at the coding for Template:Infobox Musical artist sometime!  (It is fully protected but if you press "source" you will see the coding...)  Editors often add too much coding to templates, actually, in the same way as programmers can end up writing too much code for the applications they are developing.  OTOH, the simpler templates are not hard to create: my own User:Jubileeclipman/User carer was based on other templates an uses minimal coding.  I'd start with something like that.  BTW, WP:PED now Policy and the page fully protected; Slimvirgin has proposed a few tweaks to the wording but the page is now essentially binding.  The Policy it describes has always been binding, of course  --Jubilee♫ clipman  08:28, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * What I mean for my template to do, is for both of those refs to generate [1], and link down to the, and in the ref list, the page numbers would link to the appropriate reference, ie., 21 would link to sentence one, 55-60 would link to sentence two. It would come in especially handy on pages where we mainly cite one source, such as novel series character lists.   Bramble  claw  x   14:49, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I made one here (it's for using on userpages) but I probably wrote the code wrong. You're welcome to check it out anyway and tell me what I did wrong so I can fix it. AirplanePro RadioChecklist 22:37, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I think I got everything right now. Where is BCx's template? I'd like to see it. AirplanePro RadioChecklist 00:12, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Just below the outdent line above (like the one I just created). He hasn't actually created it, just described what he would like it to do --Jubilee♫ clipman  00:59, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, that userbanner is quite good! I did have to explicitly add my username to the syntax, though, for it to link to my user page etc from my sandbox.  Also, I don't have a guestbook or a special page for my barnstars etc, so those links are red.  Any way to remove links you don't need?  --Jubilee♫ clipman  01:11, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! You could edit it to remove the guestbook or barnstar pages, but I don't know how to do that. Or you could create them. I based it off a table from my userpage I copied from somebody else's userpage. (Wikicode stealing!) AirplanePro RadioChecklist 16:07, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Owzat? - It will now check whether which links are red, which ones are blue and only display the ones with blue links. Also, the original code was quite unbalanced and a little scattered! It should be tidier now.  Set Sail   For The   Seven Seas   268° 16' 15" NET   17:53, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Again, you're brilliant! I think it'll work now. Thanks! Oh, what happened to your userpage, JubileeClipman? I can't find the banner. AirplanePro RadioChecklist 20:12, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

@BCx Shouldn't the cite template you're going to make be subst:ed? AirplanePro RadioChecklist 04:59, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think so... The other cite templates aren't substed either. Look, I really have no plans to start working on the template until I understand templates a lot more. It'll probably be next year before I start work on it. (sorry for creating so much hype about something I don't plan to start for a long time)  Bramble  claw  x   17:42, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Your page title
You know, You could just change it to say "Royal Court". And change your userpage to "Throne Room", for good measure. :) It would be funnier that way, in my opinion. :)  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 02:56, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I've decided to start stalking you now, in case you hadn't noticed. :) Check that: I've decided to start actively stalking you. I actually have been for quite a while, I jsut haven't commented. I'm stalking lots of people; I just don't usually comment. :) Anyhoo... Hi 8 7 8  (Come shout at me!) 03:07, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * No prob - the more stalkers the better! Um, I tried changing this to PrincessofLlyr's Royal Court, but I couldn't make it work. If you know how, have at it! I think I'll leave the userpage alone; I want it to be as unconfusing as possible. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 03:19, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, but confusing is so fun... I'll try and make it work. :)  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 03:22, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Remember that the "show preview" button is your friend... PrincessofLlyr  royal court 03:25, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Yep. :) I'm going to figure out one for me right now, so... I'll worry about your later. :)  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 03:27, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, I'm not going to bother with that either. :)  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 03:31, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Same here. I'm a TPS that will challenge anybody while you're away that dares venture into your Royal Court! AirplanePro RadioChecklist 04:52, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * The documentation for these magic words can be found here. It also states that, "The value must be equivalent to the default title", so you won't be able to add bits to or completely change the title. However, you can omit parts by hiding parts of the title. Hope this helps.  Set Sail   For The   Seven Seas   249° 33' 0" NET   16:38, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Funny, I was just talking to Sonia about that. :| TelCo  NaSp   Ve :|   16:42, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * yeah, I figured that was the case, which is why I decided to leave it alone. It's okay this way. Thanks anyway! PrincessofLlyr  royal court 17:04, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Wildscamp edits
The "vandalism" tag was accidental. I tend to revert COI editors like that as a matter of course, and in this case with especial vigor because they had turned the "article" into an advertisement. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  00:03, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I have to respectfully disagree. Please look over their edits. For the most part they are minor: adjusting synonyms, swapping words for numerals, etc. This is the only questionable edit: and it is borderline at best. While not all necessary, I do not see anything turning the article into an advertisement within their edits. Did you take the time to look through each of their edits before reverting?  PrincessofLlyr  royal court 00:35, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * You're right; the spamminess preceded their presence in the article. Good call! -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  00:42, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey, stalkers! I could use some feedback
If any stalkers are out there waiting for my adopter to return, could you take a quick look at User:OnePt618/Here's the Deal (Book) before I publish it? Any commentary is welcome! Thanks!!-- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;  07:23, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * My stalkers will probably give you plenty of comments. I think it looks like a great start. Some reception info would be good, but it could be published as a stub/start class article right now. The refs could do with some reformatting - I did one as an example. The retrieved date I left blank as I don't know that. This gives a better example. Great start!  PrincessofLlyr  royal court 13:22, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, using the template will be way easier. A good tool is REFLINKS, which you can quickly use to fill in bare links. To manually do it, look at your toolbar. See the cite button? Click it, and you'll see the "templates" drop down menu. Choose the appropriate one, fill out as many fields as possible (title required), and insert. I'll take a look at your page and see what I can do.  Airplaneman   ✈  16:31, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * And what is the title of the book? It's unclear right now. Is it "Don't Touch Me" or "Here's the Deal"? I would think it is the former and not the latter because that is what is in big bold letters on the book cover. Airplaneman   ✈  16:35, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, the way I read, it's both: Here's the Deal: Don't Touch Me. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 18:18, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, OK. I'll fix it accordingly on the draft. OnePt, don't forget to move it to the correct titile when moving it to the mainspace! Airplaneman   ✈  18:53, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Many thanks to everyone... I finally got around to publishing this. Here's the Deal: Don't Touch Me (Book)-- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;   05:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Great news, I got this article in the queue for DYK on Tuesday morning. Thanks to everyone who helped me get my first successful DYK submission :D-- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;   04:30, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Awesome! Great job! I'll keep an eye out for it. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 13:24, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

One more favor... I'm not quite sure what I did wrong, but I received some vicious harassment on my talk page today. I'm not quite sure how to proceed; any advice is appreciated,... -- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;  02:09, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * FYI, I've posted this incident on Wikiquette alerts so further discussion of that issue right here is probably unwarranted.-- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;  05:21, 21 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks like it got taken care of over there. I don't really have any comments that haven't already been made. Feel free to post any more questions or comments and keep up the good work! PrincessofLlyr  royal court 23:48, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Figures that I would spark a massive controversy while my adopter is gone! =) Needless to say, if you have any comments on how I could have handled that better, I'm all ears. Welcome back!!-- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;   05:53, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Question
How do I make the image on The Hunger Games trilogy smaller? --Glimmer721 (talk) 21:10, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I made it smaller for you, but in the coding: Example.jpg]], add , which would make it 100px. You can change the number to resize the picture. I've reduced the picture you mentioned to 250px, feel free to adjust it as necessary.   Bramble  claw  x   21:25, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Copyediting!
Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. AirplanePro RadioChecklist 02:28, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm still thinking about it. I'm fairly good at copyediting for spelling, but not as great with MOS stuff. However, if I do participate, Mono gets credit because he invited me first (at least I think that's the way it works). Sorry. Thanks for the invite!  PrincessofLlyr  royal court 02:35, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh. What is MOS? (I borrowed the invite from Hereforhomework2 who put it on my user talk) AirplanePro RadioChecklist 03:07, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah...she got it from Mono's here! MOS (or MoS) is short for Manual of Style, which is Wikipedia's guide to writing and formatting articles here. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 03:21, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm in! Anything to help me sharpen the saw.-- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;   06:31, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the response at RfA
Thanks for the response here. I was a bit taken aback at the response—you nailed it.-- SPhilbrick  T  11:02, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was rather surprised at the seeming animosity myself. I think you brought up a perfectly reasonable concern and thankfully it seems as if others are taking it seriously. Upon reading the rest of the discussion, it seems more as if the strong reaction came as a byproduct of the controversy over his "RfA", not your suggestion, which makes it slightly more understandable, although not quite excusable. I'll be watching the discussion and hope something productive comes of it. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 13:03, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I suspect you are right. I find myself saying IRL that my annoyance is directed at the situation, not the messenger, so I ought to follow my own advice.-- SPhilbrick  T  14:44, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for taking forever, but
Your userpage renovation request from a month ago is at User:Fetchcomms/Userpage sandbox 3. Tell me anything that needs tweaking, and I can port it over to a talk page design as well.  — fetch ·  comms   14:19, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That looks terrific! My only comment: can we change the purple color on the drop-down sections? Probably into the green blue color scheme would work. Also, if you have any really great ideas for the section titles for those, feel free to try them out. Other than that, I really like it. Thanks! PrincessofLlyr  royal court 16:30, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * But seriously, how did you find time to do this in the middle of an RfA??!? I just now realised.... PrincessofLlyr  royal court 16:53, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll get to those changes soon. Actually, I lifted most of the code from other redesigns I did, and changed the layout and colors.  — fetch ·  comms   21:12, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I have updated both your userpage and this page. Enjoy!  — fetch ·  comms   01:06, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yay! I love it. Thank you, PrincessofLlyr  royal court 03:02, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks very flash :) (I decided I needed some new talk pages to stalk, sorry for butting in...) And well, as for RfA, it's (imo) easier to focus on non-"real work" things during one, as mucking those up won't cause any scandal :) so  nia ♫♪ 09:46, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Welcome! New tps always appreciated here. Nothing bad has come of it yet and normally I actually learn something from you all.  PrincessofLlyr  royal court 12:47, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, I come to stalk today and find this new format :D. Nice! BTW, sonia's at RFA on Simple. Airplaneman   ✈  Review? 13:00, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I know, but I haven't had the time yet to read through Simple's RfA guidelines and actually look at something she's done. I could probably vote on faith given the other voters, but I feel guilty doing that. I'll take a serious look at it sometime today. Oh, and maybe you should change the "review" note in your sig - yellow is hard to read on a white background. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 13:21, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up, Airplaneman. About that "review" button (in your sig)... :| TelCo  NaSp   Ve :|   19:07, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Nice page look!  Bramble  claw  x   19:01, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Interestingly enough, Simple actually has "criteria" where En has "recommendations"- here. Which is funny, because reading through the last four or five RfAs will show you that our standards are quite a bit more flexible. I didn't realize how nerve-wracking RfA is until the moment after I accepted. :P Also, good on you for abstaining from piling on, it's a very responsible attitude . so nia ♫♪ 19:53, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I just didn't feel comfortable piling on at Simple when I had so little experience there. And I'm still not sure how necessary more sysops are or what my position is on "users that could be admins, but if we don't need more admins", especially on Simple, where that seems more likely. Here, I read the candidate's answers, look through the supports to make sure there are plenty of trusted experienced users with good reasons to support and generally !vote based on that. I very seldom look through the candidate's contribs, although I do browse their userspace some. In that way I'm probably lazy in my RfA participation here. I just didn't feel comfortable doing that on Simple yet. And nerve-wracking, oh my! I got all the taste of that I wanted during Airplaneman's ill-fated RfA. I have no intention whatsoever of ever running myself. (Not just for that reason, although it is a factor) I'm glad everyone likes the new page - fetchcomms incorporated everything I requested perfectly. PrincessofLlyr royal court 21:58, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I think we could have too many 'crats, sure. There's not much more a crat can do than an admin. I wasn't intending to run for admin at all, actually, but five different users asked to nom me in the last two weeks. I felt there wasn't a need, but eventually I decided that it would probably be less trouble to everyone else if I could do my own imports and deletes and redirect-suppressed moves, so I accepted. I don't intend to use the more active tools (blocking, protection, giving out rights) much. In the end, we are all editors, and if the admins don't see it as a race to up their admin action count I don't see why it matters who deletes the page in the end. And as for experience, you're fine to !vote- fetchcomms, on the other hand, made me nervous when he did, because it now looks like I'm canvassing. so  nia ♫♪ 22:12, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes well, I bothered someone here when I was brand-new and !voted in an RfB (I think). I didn't even find the section where they were discussing me (on a totally unrelated talk page) until much later. Oh, and they even discussed the possibility of my being an spa. I was so new and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. It was quite the experience. But yes, I'll probably get on Simple and add my opinion at some point. I haven't given much consideration to the problem of too many admins, but should probably decide my opinion of it at some point. So far I've been of the opinion that there's plenty of work to go around, especially here. At Simple though, I could see a lot of En users showing up, editing awhile, and there being an overabundance of admins. Anyhow...those are my thoughts so far. And I'm definitely attracting a more serious class of stalkers when there are admins hanging out here! PrincessofLlyr  royal court 22:37, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks, BCx...that's the first comment I've left unsigned. I wasn't thinking, since it was a verification thing. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 23:26, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That's ok. Maybe if the trial works, you could use the bot to deliver the Wikiproject Warriors role call.  Bramble  claw  x   23:30, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Motto Shop
Hello. I finished setting up the Motto Shop (because what Belugaboy had was unacceptable :P), and there is a request sitting there that hasn't been taken, and won't be by me by request of the requester. So if you would be interested, add your name to the list of participants, and then complete the request. The motto shop is located here, and I'd love if people other than me took requests, since I've already done two. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hi878 (talk • contribs)


 * Neat! I like the idea, but unfortunately I'm not that great at creating mottoes. I will keep an eye on it and pop in if I think of anything. Thanks for the notification! PrincessofLlyr  royal court 19:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)


 * You can still contribute, because people can request original mottos or quotes (or either). For instance, the one that I just did was a quote. And, even if you will only pop in when you think of something, you still could add your name to the list of contributors. :)  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 19:21, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

User:Hazard-SJ
Hello, pol. I see you've been a little more active over at simpleWiki. I was thinking about this particular user (he was previously named Polymath-SJ, if you can recall) and I'm a little worried about him. I think he's been having a rather rough time making his first step into the jungles of the simpleWiki, being blocked for sockpuppetry and so forth. He repeatedly created new sections on the Simple Talk page because he didn't understand the ins and outs of the wiki, such as the Changing Username policy and the thread about French stubs. He also tried to run for adminship, not knowing that he still hasn't been proficient enough or had enough trust with the community at large for them to allow him such a position; in fact, Clementina had rather politely asked him to decline for later (under the Not Now policy) and to wait patiently until his time comes. And now this user has moved to the big city of enWiki, and he's probably lost along the streets like a new tourist to NY. I feel like he needed my help, but now it seems that I don't have the time. And here's the request I want to make: would you be willing to guide him and mentor him throughout the Wikipedia here, and make sure that he doesn't get lost? Thanks for listening. :| TelCo NaSp   Ve :|   16:50, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah yes. I have been seeing him quite a lot over on Simple. It looks like he needs as much help here as there. I will certainly keep an eye on him and offer my help (perhaps an adoption?). Thanks for letting me know. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 17:07, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Barnstar for you
I think I'm OK. From time to time, I come and patrol. If I do need help, I will ask, though. thanks for the offer.

Yeah but I think that deserves credit as he designed the userpage ;) Derild  49  21  ☼  18:02, 27 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Derild is correct - Fetchcomms designed my page. Thank you anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I do not ever plan on becoming a queen, but I will remember that. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 18:53, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
