User talk:Meteorman7228

Welcome

Hi, Meteorman7228. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck! Chzz ► 21:11, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Meteorman7228/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Hi!

Hi, you left me a note on my talk page. I'm a newbie, as stated before, and I'm looking for jobs cleaning up articles, fixing grammar, that kind of thing. Have you been adopted yet? Stormcloud22 (talk) 14:06, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Typo Team

All you have to do is look for typos and fix them. They have a page of pledges [[1]]. You can make a pledge and add the tag to your user page. I also have a question for you. When you're making a link, how do you type that vertical line separating the link from what is displayed? I just copy-pasted it from a previous link, but is that a key on the keyboard or some special symbol? Thanks a bunch!Stormcloud22 (talk) 21:23, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage

Are you asking me to help you, or do it for you?Drew Smith W hat I've done 03:50, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well most of the stuff I learned I got from dissecting other peoples userpages. For basic stuff, you can use the tags <big>,,, and . Just remember to close them off with a </big>, , , or tag or the rest of the page will follow that format. For more advanced stuff, send me a link to something you like and I'll see if I can explain how it's done. I'll send you a sample signature that you can throw into your signature box and make it look fancy. Drew Smith W hat I've done 23:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the sig as promised. Just type {{User:Meteorman7228/sig}} into the signature field on your preferences. It will look like this MeteorMan7228. You can change it here User:Meteorman7228/sig. The part where it says span color, a bunch of symbols and some numbers and letters, controls the color of the preceding bit of text. Example, #009 would be dark blue and #00f is very light blue. The first digit controls the amount of red, the second green, and the third blue. Now all you have o do is type the four ~'a and your signature will appear like mine does.Drew Smith W hat I've done 04:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"This user"

Do you mean userboxes, like the

CIN

This user is a fan of the
Cincinnati Bengals

that appears at the bottom of my page? If so, go to Wikipedia:Userboxes, which discusses them. Toward the bottom of that page are a number of links to lists of userboxes. Ask me again if this isn't what you meant, or if you have more questions. Nyttend (talk) 22:16, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Find a few that you'd like to place on your userpage. When you're ready, edit your userpage by placing the template code on your page. A userbox is a type of template, and like all other templates, you place the template on your page by typing the name of the template in braces. Normally it's not a good idea to edit someone else's userpage, but I'm going to do it to show you what I mean about "template code" — look at your userpage now. I've added a userbox named "User Louisiana", which says "This user lives in or is from Louisiana.", by placing the text {{User Louisiana}} on your page. Please feel free to add more userboxes if you find some that you like; there's no minimum or maximum number of userboxes. Nyttend (talk) 02:07, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you've placed several more userboxes. Would you like them in a column like I have them? If so, you should ask at the Help Desk, because I don't know how to put them in a column — they were put that way by someone fulfilling a request I made at the Help Desk. I'll guess that it won't work to copy/paste my table and insert your userboxes in place on mine: I don't know why, but it seems that making even small changes to this kind of coding gets it all confused. Be thankful that there are some people on here who actually understand it, that I'm not the only person who will try to help you :-) Nyttend (talk) 04:29, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All you have to do is use the template {{boxboxtop|INSERT DESCRIPTIVE TEXT HERE|right, left, or center}}, paste userbox templates afterward, and use {{boxboxbottom}} to cloe it off. Altrnatively you can use a layout like mine by using the pagebreak tags, like these . It usually takes three of them to clear the box next to it. Use only one, and it will still be next to the box, just slightly lower.Drew Smith W hat I've done 23:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption?

Good day, mate! The name's Laurinavicius. I noticed that you've been looking to be adopted by an experienced user, and so, I'm just letting you know that I'm willing to mentor you, to take you on as my WikiPadawan learner, through the form of Adoption. I've been editing Wikipedia for more than a year now and have nearly 2,000 edits compiled, so I do have some experience. If you're interested, please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks, and happy editing! --Laurinavicius (talk) 01:47, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

Hello,

My name is Gaia. I am an experienced editor of over 6000 edits and have been editing wikipedia for over 1 year and 8 months. I have adopted numerous new wikipedians, and would like to extend to you an offer of adoption. I can help you get on your feet, and teach you the basics of editing and wiki-conduct. If you would like to accept my offer, please leave me a message on my talk page. Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk | _Sign

Adopted!Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk | _Sign 10:33, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Add your program page to your watch list by click on the watch tab at the top of its page. This where we will conduct your adoption from now on. Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk | _Sign 10:47, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

White Knight

I saw your white knight article draft. It looks like you could use some more sources. I found a few and posted them on the talk page of your sandbox.Drew Smith W hat I've done 11:47, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Finally responding...

Sorry for not replying to you sooner; my college graduation was this past weekend, so this is the first time that I've been online in several days.

As far as splitting out the section: there wouldn't be anything wrong with splitting, but it would be best to wait either until some people added their opinions or until several more days have passed without any opinions. This kind of thing will often take some weeks to get any input.

As far as "My first article" and "I found an old image" — are you trying to ask a question? If so, I'm sorry, but I'm confused about your meaning. If I can understand what you mean, I'll do my best to reply. Nyttend (talk) 02:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

Are you sure you want this adoption? As far as I can tell you haven't even looked at your program page. This is where I will help you become a better editor so please look at this page and follow the instructions on it. Thanks, Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk | _Sign 21:27, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have you added your program page to your watchlist? Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk | _Sign 10:00, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do your tasks, or this adoption won't work. Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk | _Sign 19:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

!AHEM! ?tasks? Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk | _Sign 15:10, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk | _Sign 17:15, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok then. Please do the task. Or I keep nagging you ;) And don't forget if you have any questions place them on the talk page of you project page so we can keep conversations together. 18:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Reporting someone

I'm confused: you say that someone reverted your edits, and judging by your contributions, you mean Gilmore Girls, but you've never edited that page. You'll have to be more specific. Nyttend (talk) 19:42, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Gilmore Girls

Hi. Yes, I reverted you. That is because there is no eighth season of Gilmore Girls. These are just rumors. Please review Wikipedia policy on WP:V, which states:

The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, or the material may be REMOVED.

Please review Wikipedia guidelines and policies further when editing articles in the future. If you have any questions about editing on Wikipedia, feel free to ask me or refer to Wikipedia:Questions. Thanks and happy editing! --Jtalledo (talk) 22:16, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I look forward to your contributions, including any input you have on the Gilmore Girls article. Remember, be BOLD! --Jtalledo (talk) 10:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hum.. Adoption?!

I can see from your edits that you are still active do PLEASE do your tasks. If you continue to refuse to cooperate I will have to de-adopt you and give the opportunity to another new user who needs my help. Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk |_Sign 18:15, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay then I will organise an easier task for you when I have the time. For now you can read through the pages listed here to help you with your editing. And don't forget that you can ask me anything. Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk |_Sign 22:15, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: New article

Congrats on creating a new article. Again, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! --Jtalledo (talk) 10:31, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Vandalism

Hi there. To revert vandalism, you can click the "history" tab in the article. You should see a list of previous revisions of the article. Click on a time and date to see a past version of the article. If you want to roll back to that past version, you can then click "Edit this page" and click the "Save this page" button to save the previous version of the page. Just remember to include an edit summary. I hope this helps. --Jtalledo (talk) 11:10, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article help

If you go to this page you should find links to pages that should help you with your editing, though some of the help pages are incomplete. If you need more help and can take you through step by step. Hope this helps, Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk |_Sign 12:19, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Signature

Can you please reduce the size of your signature text for the words "Meteorman"? The guideline at Wikipedia:Signatures states for the appearance and color of signatures:

Avoid markup such as <big> tags and  markup (which produce big text), or line breaks (  tags), since they disrupt the way that surrounding text displays. The limited use of non-breaking spaces to ensure that the signature displays on one line is allowed.

Your large text caused line breaks on the administrator's incident noticeboard. Thanks, — ℳℴℯ ε 04:46, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the CVU...

...Nope, it is not only for admins. There is no part of Wikipedia which is "only" for admins. Admins merely have access to a few additional tools that regular editors don't, but otherwise we're all considered equal... --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 02:41, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ALso, on an unrelated note, I did notice that you are reporting IP addresses for vandalism which aren't really actionable. Consider you recent report to WP:ANI where the IP had last edited in late June or the one here: [2] where the IP address had a single edit two months ago. We really only act on IPs who vandalize as its happening; vandalism that is weeks or months old, with no intervening action in between, isn't really actionable. We should, of course, clean up the mess in the articles, but if the IP is not currently vandalizing, then there is no real action to be taken against the IP address. Considering that many IP addresses change users very frequently, there is no point in taking action on an IP, like blocking it, if we have no evidence that the person who used it weeks ago will ever use it again. You may also want to read Wikipedia:Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism. --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 03:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)== WGBH ident ==[reply]

I noticed that SmackBot edited the WGBH idents. There are lots of variants on the announcer and the logos. should i put them in the WGBH idents article itself or a seperate article. Meteorman7228 (talk) 19:09, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest the logos might go in a gallery in the article. Not sure what you mean by variants in the announcer. Rich Farmbrough, 06:22, 16 July 2009 (UTC).[reply]

RE:Article update

I don't think adding information about Silver Point Capital's newly purchased stations is appropriate. It is an article about White Knight Broadcasting, rather than Silver Point Capital. If you want you could produce a new article for Silver Point Capital. Then you could add that information to that article. But don't for get, when you add information, use inline references. Good luck, Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk |_Sign 11:01, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help

If you go to your adoption page, I have placed links to help pages and tasks for Tables and Infoboxes. If you need more help with these things just place your questions on your program talk page. I hope these help and that the tasks aren't too complicated. Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk |_Sign 15:01, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted at LSU

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian in Louisiana. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Louisiana State University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Baton Rouge and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:14, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:05, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of White Knight Broadcasting

The article White Knight Broadcasting has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Subject does not meet the WP:NCORP.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
