Questions

Hi Mschel.Thanks for welcoming me! How do I get a user page like yours/ What is a user box? Is there a page with tags that I can use to tag articles? Thanks! Cooliocheck1 00:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey! Thanks for asking! I have answered your questions below.

• Getting a cool userpage is hard, mine took a long time and it is not even very good. If you like I could help you make your userpage and model it after mine.
• A userbox is a little box that goes on your userpage that should tell something about you.
• I do not think there is a list of all article tags, as that would be a HUGE list. What kind of tags are you looking for? You can find lists of certain types of tags.

Thanks!

Thank you for reverting Casey19's vandalism on my user page. Here's an award for doing that:

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		I award you this Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar because you were really nice and reverted user page. Thank you so much! JONJONBT talk•homemade userboxes 02:19, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Your welcome! Thanks for the award! --Mschel 02:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

You're very welcome! Once again, thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page! JONJONBT talk•homemade userboxes 03:01, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I have a question... what are your three favorite colors? (it's so I can give you a code to redo your userpage...) Thanks and bye! JONJONBT talk•homemade userboxes 14:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Black, blue, and green. --Mschel 15:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

OK! The code's on your userpage! JONJONBT talk•homemade userboxes 01:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks man! I modified a few things to make them conform with my personal taste, and added it to the other pages in my userspace. --Mschel 13:31, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome! JONJONBT talk•homemade userboxes 23:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Yaiy!

Thanks for the welcome back. :D The situation's still pretty much the same, but I realised that I was spending time on WP anyways. I even started a new account on the Tamil language Misplaced Pages... Can you imagine?! Anyways, doing some NP patrolling... RC is boring these days cos vandalism is down. :( aJCfreak yAk 13:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I wanted to ask you - why'd u change your sign? I liked the colourful thingy. Anyways, a quick question. I wanted to infect you with the love cabal but the heart icon clashes with the Viginia Tech ribbon that you've got. Any idea on a workaround for this? aJCfreak yAk 15:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I changed my sig because I have NO artistic eye, and there seemed to be general consensus that it was dorky, so I took their word for it. I figured out a way to have them both there, but then decided that you can just remove it anyway. :) --Mschel 15:36, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the heart! jonjonbt (talk•editor review) 17:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks from me too! :) ♠TomasBat 17:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Boink!

I've emailed ya... :) aJCfreak yAk 13:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

How do you...

How do you use Trace Bitmap in Inkscape???  Jonjonbt   22:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

In your menu go to "Path" --> "Trace Bitmap...". In the window that opens, select "Colors", make sure "Smooth" is not checked. Set the number of scans to the number of colors you want to have in the image. Click "OK" to make it trace the bitmap. It will probably take a few tries to get what you want. In the "Trace Bitmap" dialog you can optimize the trace by changing things in the options tab. --Mschel 23:21, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

User:H

Double crisis! H has left Misplaced Pages and his talk page is protected. I'll go to an admin to unprotect it. --Defender 911 (Leave a message!) 16:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't bother, it is too late. I am also very disappointed, but it is not wiki-stress making him leave, it is death threats. --Mschel 17:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

HELP!

HELP! THE CRISIS CENTER WILL BE DELETED! --Defender 911 (Leave a message!) 19:46, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

I've faced massive opposition distrust here on Misplaced Pages. My intentions are misjudged and ignored. My efforets are unrewarded. I have little if any choice but to leave. --Defender 911 (Leave a message!) 19:56, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Question

Are you a middle school student?

Thanks! I have seen you around for a long time, but I never really got ot say hi. So, Hi! I am assuming you noticed me at the CVU Task Force? --Mschel 23:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

A question about Inkscape...

How do you crop? I'm working on converting the Macy's logo into SVG. help please!!! Thanks! Jonathan (formerly Jonjonbt) 22:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

This is a little cryptic, so I will not be offended if you do not understand: Go to File --> Document Properties, and find the part that says "Custom Size". Adjust the height and width till you get what you want (you will probably need to move the objects around on the document to get it right). Alternatively if you just want to eliminate blank space around the edges, you can select all objects you wish to be in the picture and click "Fit page to selection". Was this what you wanted? --Mschel 22:55, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, I just uploaded this image as an SVG and it's still has the "Show Picture" thing when you try to look at it...help!!!!! Jonathan (formerly Jonjonbt) 03:14, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

O no. That problem is the bane of my vector existence, to be honest, I don't know how to fix it. But as for that image, I noticed that the vector version is much larger then the PNG is is a version of which defeats the whole purpose of vectorization. With an image that complicated it is not possible to make a good vector version. Sorry.:( --Mschel 12:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

StatusBot

About a week ago, I added the StatusBot category to a few userpages of members of the CVU taskforce, for the purpose of adding the {{ustatus}} template to the list on the member page. Some users have disagreed with this, so I am going through the user talk pages of people I added the category to. Would you mind keeping the category, or would you prefer it to be removed? If you want it removed, you may delete your subpage of User:StatusBot/Status, in this case, User:StatusBot/Status/Mschel, and remove the category from your userpage. This will hide the ustatus template and stop it being re-activated. Thanks! Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 01:30, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't think I understand the question. Sorry. --Mschel 02:15, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Reminder to Mentor

Hola Mentors!

Im sending you this reminder because you volunteered to mentor my students in English Advanced B as they become contributing members of the Misplaced Pages community. We start working with Misplaced Pages in earnest next week. I ask you to take a look at your entry in the Mentor Table at Misplaced Pages:School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Mentors

Please update the information, esp. with what your technical and informational expertise is or, if you have decided that you no longer want to participate, please remove your information from the table. Please watch the pages associated with the project. Students will contact you via your user page and as soon as my students have user pages, I will put them on the navigation bar associated with the project.

I don’t need to remind you that your job is NOT to write their assignments for them, of course. I certainly will tell my students that… and the fact that you are volunteers that don’t have to help them… so they need to be nice. If any students misbehave (tho I don’t expect it) don’t hesistate to contact me and I will take care of it. The goal of this project is to integrate successfully into the Misplaced Pages community. Anyway… what I really need your help with is helping students get oriented to Misplaced Pages, make appropriate changes and write about appropriate topics (see Misplaced Pages:School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Syllabus for assignments). I also need your technical expertise… I am only an English teacher after all! I appreciate what technology does for us but I am no technical expert!

Again, thank you for volunteering and you will hear from us again soon! Thelmadatter 19:34, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Thelmadatter

Another question about inkscape...

How do you remove areas by selecting them? Thanks! Jonathan Fall down go boom. Light fireworks go BANG!® 19:23, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I am not sure I understand the question. --Mschel 23:54, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Can you filter out white to make it transparent? Jonathan Remember 9/11/01. 21:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes! Just click on part of the white area, press CTRL-A, and press delete. Is that what you were looking for? --Mschel 21:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

RFA Thanks

Re:Search engine

I do not have an opinion on Wikia, but I'm unhappy, when someone is trying to "contribute" on article before knowing a single thing on the subject, but starting push dubious POV and then using Google search to support it.--Lokyz 18:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

OK, sorry. It looks like I am the confused one. :-D --Mschel 18:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Evidence

] is all the evidence you need.... --Busyclear

Excuse me?! And now you think I'm his sock? Wow. --Mschel 22:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Did you not notice the OBVIOUS paedophilic nature of the image in the link I provided you with? Given such evidence no-one can possibly refute my allegations. I can therefore only (reasonably) assume that any accounts still complying with the JPS are his sockpuppets. Timessome 22:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

That is so ridicules. --Mschel 23:21, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

RE: Email

 Done, but I would rather you email me directly here, as Misplaced Pages mail often goes into my junk filter, which I rarely look at that folder. Thanks! Jonathan 01:54, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I have sent you an email. :) --Mschel 02:06, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages has a new administrator!

Thanks, Mschel! Thank you for voicing your opinion in my RfA, which passed today with a unanimous 79/0/0 tally. It feels great to be appreciated, and I will try my best to meet everyone's expectations. If you have any advice or tips, feel free to pass them along, as I am sure that I will need them!

Vandalism

Me placing suspected sockpuppet tag on that person's talk page is not vandalism, you removing the tag is vandalism. It's not my job to prove anything to anyone here, it's you believe it or you don't believe it. I am much older than you, meaning I'm more wize, I know things that you don't.--Khan1982 19:12, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Could you show me a policy that allows adding sock-puppet tags without any evidence? --Mschel 19:20, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Reply

Twinkle automatically gives the notice. I didn't realize it didn't show. I reverted the change, and thank you for mentioning it to me! Bushcarrot _{Please Sign!} 01:53, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

NASCAR Fan24's Secret Page!

		The Secret Page Detective Award
		This user has found NASCAR Fan24's hidden page! Congratulations!

NASCAR Fan24 19:32, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

What was that?

The page was deleted so damn fast I didn't have time to work out what you meant. Do you mean I needed to add something to the user's page before reporting them?

I have a record of what I typed saved, so it's no big deal.(The Elfoid 19:02, 9 October 2007 (UTC))

You made an article in the mainspace, not the userspace. --Mark (Mschel) 19:04, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

74.12.72.145 17:29, 10 October 2007 (UTC) I am getting very fed up with this NONSENSE. The user known as Golden Wattle is now defaming me, by calling me a "deluded chappie", and deliberately misspelling my name, as "Stain".

Your real names are not used, and, consequently, defaming me by attaching pejorative remarks to mine, is a cowardly and, I believe, illegal act.

CAUTION: Advise "Golden Wattle" that, should he continue to defame me, I will, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO HIM, consult a solicitor in his Australian jurisdiction, who will have no great difficulty in determining who he is, and, subsequently, arranging for a process server. This is neither complicated, nor expensive. THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING.
