Signature
Sure, I'd be happy to. I assume you mean my current signature (Cielomobile talk / contribs) and not my old one (Cielomobile minor7b5). Either way, you just have to change the text a little bit. Here's the code:

You'll want to copy and paste that into your signature in "My preferences" and check the "Raw Signature" box. I'm a member of Esperanza, so the bit in the middle with the green is produced by that code. What you'll probably want is something like this:

That would produce this: -- Saoshyant talk / contribs

So just copy and past that last bit of code into your signature and check the raw signature box, and you're good to go. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask me. -- Ci e lomobile talk / contribs 16:32, 9 October 2006 (UTC)


 * You're very welcome. As for the use of the "font" tag, that's the way Esperanza recommended to do it on their page (somewhere at Esperanza, so unless there's a good reason not to use it, I'll just leave it as is. Thanks though! -- Ci e lomobile talk / contribs 00:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Signature
Olá. Obrigado por contactares. Espero que não te importes que eu use português, mas já criei hábito em usar essa língua para comunicar com outros utilizadores portugueses. Se preferires, claro, posso mudar para inglês. Relativamente às sugestões em relação à minha assinatura, não compreendi especificamente o que de errado há com ela. Quando a criei baseei-me nas assinaturas de outros utilizadores, aplicando código bastante comum. Também não consigo detectar broken html. Utilizo três browsers (Netscape, Firefox e IE) e também não verifico nenhum problema na visualização da assinatura. Desconheço porém se occorerão eventualmente problemas com browsers para Mac. De qualquer forma desde que estabeleci a assinatura não fiz intenções de alterar o seu aspecto posteriormente. Estou aberto a alterações ao seu código, desde que produzam exactamente a mesma assinatura. Obrigado pela atenção. :-) Cumprimentos.-- Hús  ö  nd  16:23, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Compreendo. Seria possível criares-me uma réplica da minha assinatura com o código válido? Se a visualização da assinatura ficar igual, naturalmente não terei qualquer problema em mudar a sintaxe. A propósito, comandos como o font são comuns não apenas em assinaturas. Vou ver se encontro um sítio adequado para comunicar a mais utilizadores este problema. Obrigado. Cumprimentos.-- Hús  ö  nd  17:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Obrigado por forneceres o código. No entanto, a assinatura que ele produz revela-se muito diferente (cores diferentes, e aparece sublinhada). :-/ A ideia do template não parece má. Sugiro também que exponhas a situação em Wikipedia talk:Sign your posts on talk pages, onde poderá ser directamente discutida com outros utilizadores e eventualmente incluída nas alíneas do guia de assinatura. Cumprimentos.-- Hús  ö  nd  21:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Já suspeitava que visualizássemos a assinatura que criaste de maneiras diferentes. Fiz upload de um screenshot (aqui) para que possas verificar como a visualizo. É raríssimo eu usar o Internet Explorer, pelas mesmas razões que tu não o usas. Uso quase sempre o Firefox ou o Netscape, e em ambos a assinatura que criaste aparece assim. Mais estranho, vejo que modificaste a assinatura do utilizador Asterion mas a dele aparentemente fica igualzinha. Não sei portanto que raio se passa com a minha. :-( De qualquer forma vou tentar modificar o código que providenciaste para ver se acerto com ela. Obrigado. -- Hús  ö  nd  16:12, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Regarding my user page.
Thanks for your welcome and your comments about my userpage. I have completely reformatted it - I was wondering if it was better for you now? S e rgeantBolt (t,c) 21:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

My signature
Can you think of any possible technical problems caused by my signature? Thanks, Asterion talk 00:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The font and small tags are invalid in XHTML, which is what Wikipedia uses. Don't make Wikipedia an invalid whore :) --Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves/ Saoshyant  talk / contribs 20:43, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, testing new one now. Please check it up. -- Asterion talk 20:54, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Pretty good. Thanks a lot for making the change.--Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves/ Saoshyant  talk / contribs 09:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

You guessed it - Signature
Firstly, thanks for your note on my talk regarding the use of, and the problems it creates. I acted upon your suggestion, however I'm posting to double-check the slight modification to the code you suggested hasn't made this whole action defunct.

Your suggestion: Daniel.Bryant , which produces Daniel.Bryant

My amendment: Daniel.Bryant , which produces Daniel.Bryant

As you can see, there is a considerable difference - the second creates an exact copy of my original signature (Sans Serif, the font I use on my personal templates/pages etc.), however the first is the font Tahoma.

The main reason for posting was to double-check that the modification I made to the code you suggested hasn't made my changes pointless. Please respond on my talk page. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 09:03, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

RE: Hey, I'm wondering if...
Hi, sorry about the late reply - I've been very busy in real life.

I'm afraid that I can't spare any time at the moment. I'm right in the middle of GCSEs and revising like mad! I only have time to make some contributions, which for the time being will only be going to Wikipedia. Again, I'm sorry - but good luck with your project!

Deletion of Template:Uncyclopedia
Hello there. I deleted the page a long time ago, back in July 2005. It was voted for deletion on templates for deletion. The template was recreated, and voted for deletion again in January 2006 (see: Templates for deletion/Log/2006 January 11).

Since recreation of deleted pages is a criteria for speedy deletion (see WP:CSD), if you have a good reason for creating a new template under that name, you'll have to refer to Undeletion policy. Hope that helps! If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to leave a note on my talk page. -Frazzydee|&#9997; 15:12, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Template:Uncyclopedia
Hi,

I didn't delete the template, but the talk page. The talk page recently came up for Deletion Review, and its deletion/protection was endorsed unanimously. When the Wikipedia community decides to delete/protect a talk page, it is obvious that the main artice/page is thoroughly rejected. In Uncyclopedia's case, the reason for this is simple: While Wikipedia supports "inter-wikiness", it also cares very much about its professional reputation. Links/references to Uncyclopedia, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and its like are seen by many in the community as damaging to Wikipedia's academic respectability. I have no personal opinion on this matter, but it is clear this is what consensus has declared at the AfDs/DRV of Unc. and En. Dramatica, as well as the ArbCom case involving ED.

If you were to bring the template to deletion review now, the case would probably be summarily closed, because we just finished with the talk page two days ago. You could wait a month and bring the case back for a new DRV, but I strongly suspect that the consensus on this matter wouldn't change. The community doesn't seem to want this template, for the reason aforementioned. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * You're absolutely right that admins shouldn't make consensus alone; we don't. Both XfD and Deletion Review are open to all Wikipedians.  Once decisions are made, we janitors carry them out.  Although consensus can always change, if experiences teaches me that it is very unlikely to change, I'll let folks know my opinion.  As I say, you are welcome to list the matter at DRV, where any Wikipedian may comment, but I wouldn't expect success, because a widespread consensus (among admins and non-admins) seems to disfavor it.  We janitors do sometimes mention Uncyclopedia in our vandalism notices, though, for precisely the reason you suggest. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I deleted it in line with the debate at Templates for deletion/Log/2006 January 11. It was also previously discussed in Templates_for_deletion/Log/Deleted/July_2005. Basically, it was felt to be unnecessary and inappropriate. After all, there's no reason why Wikipedia articles should finish off with a self-deprecating joke. If someone is looking for humour, they can just head directly to Uncyclopedia. If the project here is to be taken seriously, then it can't have parody all over itself! Uncyclopedia is also not a Wikimedia project, so it's essentially free advertising for a small 3rd party website. Therefore your recent creation got deleted in line with those previous debates. -Splash - tk 18:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I speedy deleted this template as a recreation of previously deleted material at Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_January_11 and Templates_for_deletion/Log/Deleted/July_2005. As it had been repeatedly recreated, I also SALTed it. Interwiki links are maintained at meta, and can be useful, there are tons of them, but their presence does not mean that this template is endorsed by the foundation. I've removed protection and redeleted this template; but you may want to build a case for it's recreation at its talk page and/or WP:VPM. Thanks, — xaosflux  Talk  04:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

MIPS Assembly
I've added the "prod" template to the article MIPS Assembly, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:MIPS Assembly. If you remove the dated prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. – Mipadi 13:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Oh, hi :) I noticed your edits to the Vorbis article and I thought your username was familiar, but I didn't realize we had met at Hydrogenaudio. After I received your message, however, I remembered your avatar right away. Nice meeting you here. :) --Kjoonlee 10:07, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
