This user wants to be your friend.

December 2014

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. I noticed that your username, "PM ME URANUS", may not meet Misplaced Pages's username policy because it could be seen as potentially offensive or disruptive. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Pishcal (talk) 20:02, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree, and unlike Pishcal I am an administrator. PM ME URANUS could very easily be construed as "private message me your anus", so unless you want your inbox filled with bottoms, I'd strongly recommend a username change. In fact, even if you do want to collect pictures of people's posteriors, you still need to get a new username; this one fits the bill as disruptive. User:Space erth, which appears to be the setting for your signature, is not taken, so you could very easily use that. Simply add a request at WP:CHUS (instructions are on the page there; it's very straightforward) and your account can be renamed to match your signature. Yunshui _水 10:38, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Your name is innapropriate for a project such as this. Could I kindly ask you to change it.Mbcap (talk) 22:04, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes, sure. I've posted a request in the changing username page. Sorry for taking this long, I completely forgot I had to change it. PM ME URANUS (talk) 12:07, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

PM ME URANUS, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Hi PM ME URANUS! Thanks for contributing to Misplaced Pages. Come join other new editors at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a space where new editors can get help from other new editors. These editors have also just begun editing Misplaced Pages; they may have had similar experiences as you. Come share your experiences, ask questions, and get advice from your peers. I hope to see you there! Technical 13 (I'm a Teahouse host)

Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

Hello, Tetra quark. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!
Please note that all old questions are archived after 2-3 days of inactivity. Message added by Ariconte (talk) 22:07, 12 December 2014 (UTC). (You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{teahouse talkback}} template.

Template:Z12

Your account has been blocked from editing Misplaced Pages with this username. This is because your username, PM ME URANUS, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Misplaced Pages:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. I, JethroBT 22:09, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

As a note, I'm in agreement with the editors who have expressed concerns above. You've been working constructively, and I did see your discussion with Pishcal here, and I'm convinced you did not intend any particular harm or disruption. I understand usernames like this one are common on places like reddit, but Misplaced Pages really just isn't the place for it because it's disruptive. You can make an unblock request here with a new username that fits with our username policy. I, JethroBT 22:22, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Oh, correct. Sorry, I totally forgot to ask for a name change after Yunshui asked me to. Is that how I do it? Well, sorry for the inconvenience. :)PM ME URANUS (talk) 22:44, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Misplaced Pages:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. Huon (talk) 22:52, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Done that. I guess now it's up to you to change my name. PM ME URANUS (talk) 12:07, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Uh, you posted your request to the archives, where it's not going to be seen. I hope this was not deliberate. Please post it at the bottom of this page. I, JethroBT 17:33, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

No, it was not deliberate. I'm a new user and Misplaced Pages is rather confusing to use, you gotta admit. Anyway, I just posted it there now. I hope my name gets changed soon so I won't get blocked again PM ME URANUS (talk) 17:43, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

It's definitely true that navigating some of the systems here can be confusing. Thanks for your cooperation— I appreciate it. :) I, JethroBT 21:24, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Please no hard feelings at the WikiProject Astronomy. After all, it's Christmas. SkyFlubbler (talk) 02:20, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Haha thanks. Those templates are cool, by the way Tetra quark (talk) 02:31, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Cosmology background

Hey there - in reply to this, this is what the page looks like on wider resolutions. If you want to use an image for the background, it would have to be one that can be tiled. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 04:46, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

What kind of absurd monitor is that? It is way huger than most.

Anyway, it took me a long time to figure out how to add a background (very few other pages have it) and now it is gonna stay. See, the whole point of wikipedia is that it is improved brick by brick. Everyone contributes a little and the result in the end is good. So, if you don't like the background, fix it. Double the image to make it fit. Don't undo what others have built. Thanks Tetra quark (talk) 04:55, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

It's a normal 15 inch laptop monitor. Most modern monitors are wider.

I appreciate the time you spent on it, but the point is that the layout is still broken. A solid color background is indeed an improvement. Insisting on a broken layout because you spent a lot of time on it isn't constructive. In the meantime, I am trying to figure out how to render the image correctly - but until then, the layout is broken and the image should go. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 05:03, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Relax. Sooner or later someone will fix it. It is not like it hurts to see an image that doesn't fit the box. Going solid black is trivializing.

Anyway, I think I know how to fix that issue. I just can't paste the code here. I've made a revision of the portal. Go see if anything changed for you in your huge monitor Tetra quark (talk) 05:10, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

I wish I had a huge monitor. It's a standard 15 inch monitor with a 1920x1080 resolution, I promise ;)

I've expanded the width so that it will be fine up to 2000px, though the image still extends from the bottom too far. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 05:18, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Considering that the portal still doesn't get much traffic anyway, let's leave it this way for a while. I'll summon @Technical 13: here so maybe he can fix that. Hello, Technical 13. The problem is that the image doesn't fill the box in wider monitors. I tried to paste more images in the background to the right by using "div" position:"right" but it didn't work. I hope you can give us a hand Tetra quark (talk) 05:40, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
