help me!!!

hi, im MidKnighttheDarkHunter. i can't seem to get to my page, so i created a new account. has it been hacked or something? listen, toaster, I need you to back me up on this page, and also, how do you adopt me? It's really confusing. thanks!

Hey MidKnighttheDarkHunter. If you want to use your other account, I'm sure we can figure out what's going on. Misplaced Pages keeps an archive of all changes, so none of your data or edits are really lost. I'm a bit confused about the problem though: what page can you not get to? Your Talk page should be here, and your userpage should be here. About adoption: I'm going to leave a tag on your userpage that says you have been adopted. You can read it at ]. I'll put a similar tag on my userpage in a similar way. You can always remove this tags if you don't want to be adopted anymore, or just don't want it on your user page. Sound good?  :) -FlyingToaster (talk) 17:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

thanks for the save!

thanks, but you can call me MKH for short. also, anybody who talks on Toasters page is welcome here!(or anybody who isn't a mingebag, as a matter of fact) =) MidKnightHunter (talk) 21:11, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

chat?

Hey MidKnightHunter. This isn't really a good place to just chat back and forth. I'm happy to answer any questions you have here, but if you're looking for more of a chat-like style about Misplaced Pages, you may want to try the IRC channel #wikipedia on freenode. -FlyingToaster (talk) 00:44, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:47, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

as if the constant reminders on edit pages wasn't bad enough

P.S. I'm not jewish. so don't think that just because I say it I am

going off for the night. 10/10/08 EST

How to Make a New Page

To make a new page, just use the search box at the left to search for the page you want to create. If it doesn't exist already in Misplaced Pages, you will see a link to "Create the page." If you click that, you'll get a text box to write the article in. Before you get started, it may help to read this page, which describes what kinds of subjects are notable enough to write an article on. Good luck! -FlyingToaster (talk) 17:16, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Please use people's Discussion pages

Hey MidKnightHunter - please make sure that you leave notes for people on their Discussion pages, and not on their user pages. This is a discussion page - you can tell because the Discussion tab at the top is highlighted. Your comment ], however, was on the User page and should be on the Discussion page. Don't worry, it's an easy mistake to make. :) -FlyingToaster (talk) 17:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

How to connect to IRC

See this tutorial if you are not familiar with IRC. If you are, the server is irc.freenode.net and the main room is #wikipedia

Pages

I'm fine helping you out by talk pages, it's a better place for links and things you want to refer back to. -FlyingToaster (talk) 18:03, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

No Prob

I see you correctly fixed the user page/discussion thing - very awesome, looks like you've figured that one out. Also, I'm female. -FlyingToaster (talk) 18:15, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey

Hey thanks! As for garry's mod, I haven't used it personally, though I have seen it at a friend's house. I don't do much PC gaming because I have a laptop with a crappy integrated graphics card. (didn't realize it had no expansion slots when I got it :( ). still, I do enjoy my PS3 when I find the time to use it (and tbh, LittleBigPlanet looks pretty similar to garry's mod; the only reason I'm considering not getting it is because I really have to stuff other than play video games once in while. ;) and Misplaced Pages takes up a good portion of that time... ¬_¬). Thanks again. talk to you later. Thingg 18:23, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

lol. no I mean it doesn't have any way for me to upgrade it's graphics card at all. like it doesn't have a port on the motherboard for a dedicated graphics card. btw, do you have gmail? It would probably be smarter to chat in there (I don't have AIM) rather than onwiki. my address is coastermaniac gmail com if you want to add me. Thingg 18:38, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey

Hey MidKnightHunter. I haven't played Gmod or TF yet, I don't have a great gaming computer at the moment. I'm a bit busy to talk beyond on IRC right now. Good luck on your first article! -FlyingToaster (talk) 00:40, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: hey

yeah I'm on. what's up? Thingg 00:41, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

lol. sure. do you have access to your email account now? Thingg 00:47, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I see. well, talk to you later. :) Thingg 00:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

yeah. well, tbh if you want to just randomly talk to someone, I'm probably not a very good person to ask. I have never used IRC or even an IM service in my life! heh. but yeah, I can see where you're coming from. Thingg 15:01, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

new page

If you mean you want to create a new page, you don't have to request it - you can just create it. Hopefully my comment above explains this, let me know if it doesn't. -FlyingToaster (talk) 00:55, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

VG newsletter

Hi. I noticed you tried adding yourself to the readership list at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Video games/Newsletter, but soon after reverted it. If you would like to be on the list, let me know and I can add you to it. If not, thanks for checking out the page. (Guyinblack25 15:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC))

I added you name to newsletter readership. It goes out on the first Wednesday of every month. If you are interested in participating with Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Video games, I suggest you read over the main page to learn more about the purpose and structure of the project. If you have questions about policies and editing related to video games, feel free to ask at the VG project's talk page.

By "icon", I assume you're talking about the Project Userbox. If so, just add this code on your userpage {{User WPVG|newsletter=no}}. If not let me know which icon you're talking about.

One more quick suggestion. When responding on talk pages, make sure your topic title is enclosed with two equal signs on both sides instead of one ( == Headline text == ). This is the standard used when starting new discussions. Misplaced Pages has also included several assists to do this for you. (Guyinblack25 19:32, 13 October 2008 (UTC))

October 2008

Welcome to Misplaced Pages! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Jar Jar Binks are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. --EEMIV (talk) 19:49, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to User talk:EEMIV constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. — Possum (talk) 20:00, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Uh...no, I wouldn't consider at all the post on my talk page vandalism. --EEMIV (talk) 20:09, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

possum

he seriously acted like an assbag. MidKnightHunter (talk) 20:06, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I suggest, in a friendly way, that you remove that on the basis of our policies regarding being polite and not attacking people.   was prince of canada 20:09, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
