User talk:XndrK/Archive 1

Welcome

 * Where did you get this?

Userboxes
Hey, thanks for organizing my userboxes. How do you make a box like that?
 * I didn't make that. It's a template.  There are a lot out there like that, when you look at other user pages you'll see them.  But you might also want to look at "Category:Userboxes" and "Category:User namespace templates". You'll see a lot of things under those categories.  If you are unsure how to find those categories, just Copy (without the quote marks) and paste into your Search box.  Those should come up.  Good luck. — Maile  (talk) 21:43, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks.

Crack pic
Hi, I know about the phenomenon you are trying to illustrate, so no problem there. However, your diagnosis about how the crack originated, although probably correct, nonetheless strikes me as original research, something that is not allowed. That said, I have myself seen many articles talking about infrastructure problems (roads, pipes, foundations) messed up by this same process. These articles usually come with photos. I bet you can find one that meets all of our reliable source standards. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:22, 25 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay. Where would I look? Is this a good one? XndrK (talk) 17:15, 27 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Please allow me to wax socratic by asking whether you think that reference meets or does not meet the rather simple criteria in our reliable sources guideline?  NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 03:49, 27 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, yeah, I think that works. Thx. However, I embarrassingly lost the article where I put the picture momentarily. Just for example, does the file on Commons have a list of pages it's used on? I'm too lazy to look. :) XndrK (talk) 17:15, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Being too lazy to look is not a good way to inspire experienced eds to help you learn your skills.  That said there is such a link.   NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 17:32, 27 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Btw, why is the reference broken? When I click on it, it doesn't do anything. Did I mess something up?


 * (A) I don't know; (B) you could try adding a tag at the end of your talk page, or (C) Add "nowiki" tags to the phrase, which is what I usually do though your mileage may vary.   I'm going to take the liberty of doing that to your comment (usually this is frowned on see WP:TALK) but I'm doing it for demonstration purposes, and trust you won't cry foul.  If you want to later remove the "nowiki" tags, its your comment so go for it.  Or ask me and I will. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 17:32, 27 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay. It's ugly, but whatever. I'll try to figure it out. Thanks. How about I try it again?
 * I got it! I figured out the problem! I cited using the news template instead of the Web template. Just to make certain, I'm going to do it again, except I'm going to use the Web template.
 * WHAT ON EARTH??? --XndrK (talk) 17:43, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I haven't played much with this on user pages either. So this is a test NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 18:19, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hope that was helpful. Per WP:OWNTALK you can purge any of my comments as you please and even if it were not for WP:OWNTALK you have my permission.NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 18:23, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, so now it does work. XndrK (talk) 00:06, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm actually going to keep this, in case a similar problem pops up with anyone else. Just letting you know. XndrK (talk) 00:07, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I assume you have discovered the Help:Page history and how to display a WP:DIFF, so you can track exactly what was done different each time.... but in case not, now you know. cheers NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 09:39, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Teahouse invitation
Howdy there, Tex. Thought you also might find the Teahouse an interesting place. — Maile (talk) 20:14, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Funny. I thought I was already part of the Teahouse. Haven't used it tho. Thanks for reminding me. --XndrK (talk) 21:44, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * That's OK. I just stuck the invitation on here in case you've never seen it before.  By the way, I straightened out the alignment of your userboxes on your main page.  Your ceiling picture was so low on the page that it was knocking off the alignment of the userboxes.  I also left a navbox at the bottom of your main page that will let you browse through a lot of other available userboxes out there.  Have fun editing! — Maile  (talk) 01:19, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Hooray! You created your Teahouse profile!
'''Congratulations! You have earned the'''

Thank you for introducing yourself and contributing to Wikipedia! If you would like to learn how to make a userbox, go to WP:Userboxes or, if your would like learn even more, maybe you should consider puting yourself up for adoption. Happy Editing! ~ Anastasia (talk) 19:14, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

HTML/CSS/other stuff help
Hey, XndrK, I saw your comments on the IRC help channel. I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do (only caught the tail end of it), but if you need any help, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. Thanks, and happy editing! Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 23:57, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Userboxes
I've turned your userboxes into three columns. For more general help on userboxes, see Userboxes. The section on grouping is the one about arranging them in patterns. Huon (talk) 00:51, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --XndrK‽ 17:39, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Teahouse!
You have got a new reply at Teahouse/Questions --Tito Dutta (contact) 18:14, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Violet
The last sentence in the History section of Violet, Texas doesn't mean anything. Did you omit something? "Louis Petrus and Charles Hoelscher to Reverend Verdauger"  Rojomoke (talk) 14:42, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I fixed it. Glad to see someone else is reading it. I feel like I'm alone with that page. (In case you were wondering, they donated land for a school.) I saw that when I came back to it, but thanks for the warning anyway. I'm still grateful. --XndrK‽ 14:46, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Teahouse talkback
Hi, I answered your question at the Teahouse. Your question is at the bottom, so scroll down. Next time, add a new question to the top, OK?  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  21:54, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Oops. :P -- 00:05, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi see my response to your query at User talk:AresLiam. AresLiam (talk) 06:56, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Talkback
Trying talkback. This time, I'm not bothering anyone. I want to see what it looks like to recieve one, anyway. Ignore this. 20:17, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Twinkle Talkback message.
Hi, I saw the "test", and because you're my student and I don't want you to get shot at on Wikipedia, I'm just telling you that some users prefer it if you used Template:Whisperback instead as they find it less "intruding". Just to tell you, I'm not one of those people. I got shot in the leg for this! jcc (tea and biscuits) 16:45, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I deleted it. I meant to put it on my talk page, but I wasn't thinking. I deleted it. -- 16:46, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * That's cool. Maybe try WP:Sandbox for as minimal disruption as you can get.jcc (tea and biscuits) 19:43, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

New Userpage
Hey I saw your User page and it looked a bit basic, so I decided to make it better. I hope you like it. You can change the colors around to suit your taste. If you need help just message me on my talk page. Btw, heard you were looking for newbie friends? Well look no further! A barnstar or something of the sort would be much appreciated. BUT if you don't like it, you can always revert back to the old version via the "View History" link and restore the old version. Charlotte Tame (talk) 17:10, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I like simple. Can you just put an automatic header on the top? (Works better with VisualEditor, too.) P.S. I wanna barnstar! :( -- 23:26, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Help cleaning up page
Could somebody help me clean up my user and talk pages? I can't even read the source code. Makes my eyes hurt.

Thanks. -- 21:31, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Your signature
Hello! Per Wikipedia:Signatures, the use of templates in signatures is not permitted. The following markup provides the same output without the use of a template:

-- XndrK (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/pcount/index.php?name=XndrK&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia count])

Note that the inclusion of external links is prohibited as well. In my view, the rule probably isn't intended to include other Wikimedia Foundation websites (such wmflabs.org), but it would be prudent to discuss the matter at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Or, if you'd like to simply remove that link, you can use this markup:

Hank the Cowdog
Saw your message from 2013 on Talk:Hank the Cowdog. If you ever set up an HC task force, count me in--I've created 2 articles about different books in the series, but had them swiped and reverted. I know a good bit about the series and have been reading it for over 10 years. White Arabian mare (Neigh) 15:13, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that would be great, but first I'd have to set up an HC task force. Honestly, I've really slowed down on WP editing (I haven't edited in three months from today, for example), but that would be a great project to get me restarted. --XndrK (talk &#124; contribs) 22:48, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, if you get it going, I will try to be a top contributor. These books deserve better articles than they have. One thing I'd like to see included in every article is a section about the songs in each book, because they add so much to them. White Arabian mare (Neigh) 14:59, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Use of non-free images
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to a page, specifically List of political parties in Germany, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:59, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Tagging
Please read the source before tagging next time. The sentence is attributed to the source provided with a caption stating the leaders' disdain (I believe "antipathy" was the word BBC used) for another. Because of 1RR, I would appreciate if you could self-revert. Thanks.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 00:09, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
