Katie Hnida

My edits to Katie Hnida's page were completley accurate and truthful. If you want I could back them up with sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ANDREV303 (talk • contribs) 16:24, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Sources would be great. But by the looks of it, the quote has been there for a while, so I doubt that whoever inserted it made a mistake in copy/pasting the quote from a reliable source. Also the page was protected yesterday because a lot of people where making similar edits to yours. But go ahead and find me about three good sources backing up the quote change. Thanks AngelOfSadness talk 16:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Maria Rivas

While I guess technically it is an edit war, it is the editor's insistence of using copyrighted material pasting from http://www.ejn.it/mus/rivas.htm, and my attempts to keep the article free of violations. Check article's talk page, this has been an ongoing problem, unfortunately, and the editor refuses to take the information into the talk page to allow others to properly re-write and cite it. Also, obviously a WP:COI issue, as the person stated to me she was the subject of the article. The editor also only made the name after being warned for copyvio issues 3 times on the IP. Sad, I wish she'd just take it to the talk page as I've requested, and let editors add the information that's appropriate. 16:48, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

At least we were edit warring over something that could actually damage wikipedia and not something very little and trivial. I wish this person would stop ignoring wikipedia policies because it's getting very tiring. Anyway they got blocked for 24 hours for edit warring and the like. I'm going to keep the article on my watchlist and keep an eye on it in case she returns as an IP or a different account. Any point on getting the page protected? It might help getting it protected for about a week and maybe she'll go away when she can't edit it and hopefully will forget about it for now. AngelOfSadness talk 16:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Questiont

Hi. How exacly do I cite references? I tried out a few in the sandbox but I can't get them to work. Thanks :D MasseyMasseyMassey 19:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

WP:CITE and Misplaced Pages:Citation templates should help. 19:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

P.S. the reason they would not work in sandbox is that it doesn't have a reference section. There must be a section that looks like this:

==References==
{{reflist}}

That tells Misplaced Pages to render the references as footnotes properly. Hope that helps! 19:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

What ArielGold said is the easiest/best way to do references. I made a references section on the Christopher Purdy article. Now all you have to do is add the webpages that you wish to reference e.g <ref>www.example.com</ref>. AngelOfSadness talk 20:02, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I'd encourage you to use the style of:

<ref>{{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = | work = | publisher = | date = | url = | format = | doi = | accessdate = }}</ref>

as it not only offers a better format, but it gives relevant information to the reader without having to actually click on the link. While it is not required, it really is much more helpful to use the proper template when making citations, as the URL with ref tags around it doesn't provide much information to the reader. (Sorry to butt in here, Angel lol) 20:07, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

No problem Ariel, go right ahead. :D AngelOfSadness talk 20:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks both of you for that :D MasseyMasseyMassey 20:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

New box

I got super sick of that ugly brown "User since..." box I had, so I made my own pretty pink one!

This user has been a Proud Wikipedian since July 24, 2005.

{{User:UBX/Wikipedian}}
code:
{{User:UBX/Wikipedian|], ]|Proud=True}}
("Proud" if left blank, leaves it out so it just says "has been a user".)

What do you think? 01:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Ohh I love it. The brown one wasn't to my taste either. Now all I have to to is look up my logs to find out when I've joined and add this box proudly to my userbox page. Yay. AngelOfSadness talk 14:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Connell Stewart

connell stewart is a very important person, with poweful contacts. one of the few people from groomsprt primary to pass his tranfer test. There is a little known sport that could not exist without Connell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rorytin (talk • contribs) 16:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Please read WP:NOTE. What you said now and what you put in the article did not assert the subjects notability(Is he notable/famous enough to have an article?). AngelOfSadness talk 16:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Protoss

I actually was attempting to improve the Protoss page by making mass deletions. One of the problems wih the page was an overly-long plot summer and excessive backstory, both of which could be found by following the reference links. All the information on the Protoss page had been copy/pasted from the StarCraft War Manual and was completely unneeded. To save the page from deletion and leave the basic material available for people seeking it through Misplaced Pages (as obviously I was), I thought shortening the section would help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ascian7 (talk • contribs) 16:52, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

My apoligies, I was very much mistaken. You were just making bold edits and I saw them as vandalism as it was unexplained removal of content. It would be best if you left a note on the articles talkpage before making bold edits. Other editors can easily make the same mistake I did. Also if you provide an explaination in the edit summary as to why you are removing the content (e.g Please see talkpage for explaination of content removal). The difference between bold edits and vandalism is doing these two things so other editors will not be confused. Happy Editing AngelOfSadness talk 17:04, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I left a note at WP:AN/I (good faith editor, bad edits) requesting help on how to handle this situation. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:26, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me about it. I left a note there pretty much seconding your request. I just hope some of the editors will know what to do in this situation. AngelOfSadness talk 17:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks again for reverting the vandalism on my user page. Not sure where that came from. Weird. -- Gogo Dodo 17:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

No problemo. AngelOfSadness talk 17:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Another thanks. —DerHexer (Talk) 16:48, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

No problemo. Talkpage blanking vandals can be very annoying especially if they're making several edits a minute. :D AngelOfSadness talk 16:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

TEH LULZ

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on TEH LULZ, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because TEH LULZ is pure vandalism; this includes redirects created during cleanup of page move vandalism.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting TEH LULZ, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. CSDWarnBot 19:31, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok I know about that. It was the one redirect that got away when cleaning up his mess. AngelOfSadness talk 19:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

More girlie stuff!

Since an editor thought I was a guy, lol, I made the "female symbol" into a pretty, feminine version, the one that existed was plain boring black and white. Check out my userpage, up at the top right corner to see it, and tell me what you think! 20:09, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh I like it. A few editors(mostly sockpuppets and vandals) have called me dude, man and buddy. You'd think they'd see that my userpage infobox says that I'm a female. Anyway I'd love to add something similar to my userpage so they(the few editors) have no excuse for calling me such names. AngelOfSadness talk 16:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Added, feel free to fiddle with it, or copy it over to here if you like. Looks good! 16:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I love it. I think I will put it on the talkpage aswell just so other editors get the message in case they didn't see it on my userpage. And now there's no excuse for them thinking otherwise. Thank you so much. You really have a flare for graphic design. AngelOfSadness talk 16:27, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Looks great :) I moved it so it is over in the corner here, on your userpage, you had the edit count stuff, so I had to place it farther in. Looks good! 16:30, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks I was just about to fix the symbols position but you got ahead of me. You are one speedy editor. And now I have just found inspiration to make a userbox which I don't think is in existance yet(it's currently encaptured in my head). AngelOfSadness talk 16:37, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Userbox

Well, don't take any of this negatively, please, lol. I will first say that I personally dislike animated images. That's a personal opinion, though. However, I'd suggest rewording it to say: This user reverts vandalism with lightning speed. The way it is now, it uses two prepositions together (at the) and uses the singular of lightning, with the plural of speed. Or, it could be worded "This user reverts vandalism at lightning speed.", or "This user revers vandalism with the speed of lightning." but I personally like the first wording better. I like the colors, but I'd use a darker shade of pink, the light pink is nearly invisible as text. Overall I like it! 17:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry I didn't :D. The colors were driving me mad. I was thinking the same about the pink in the text but when I changed it, it wouldn't match with the image or the border colour. I'll try out your suggestion with the text. I originally had "this user reverts vandalism at the speed of light" so I'm guessing that's why I forgot to eliminate the "the". My mind works faster than my hands at typing so I could be thinking one thing while editing something else and managed to forget about the "the". Thanks for pointing it out. It might have been six months before I noticed that it was wrong. AngelOfSadness talk 18:01, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, speed of light would work too. Wonder if there is an image of a star going supernova? That would work, lol. I'd suggest using #F64A8A for both the border, and the pink text. And the more I think about it, the more I like the "speed of light", because that's a much more interesting article than Lightning lol. I can go tweak it if you want, and if you hate it you can always revert, lol. 18:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Sure go right ahead and edit it. The more I try and fix it the more frustrated I get. Strange how I can get so worked up over something so small. :D AngelOfSadness talk 18:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

This user reverts vandalism at the speed of light.

I kinda like this one, lol. 18:17, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh that's a nice one. I really like the picture. It's like a giant ball of fire or something :D. Like I said before, you really have a flair for this kind of stuff. AngelOfSadness talk 18:21, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

This user reverts vandalism with lightning speed.

Or how about this? (that's yours, transcluded here) 18:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Or both, lol. And hey, just so you know, I watch your talk page, so you don't have to double reply to anything, save your fingers, lol. 18:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

See now if these were next to each other in the userbox gallery, I would be there all day trying to decide on which one to pick. I like the image change, as I originally liked the original image but got kind of sick of it after trying to get the colour to match with it. The still images definately make the colours decision easier. AngelOfSadness talk 18:27, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Too many choices! Hee hee. Change it out every month! 18:35, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Choices are good!!!! Or change it depending on my mood. The more I look at the supernova one, the more I think it's a picture of a spaceship blowing up something fairly large(like it symbolises the revertion of vandalism). AngelOfSadness talk 18:41, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Rofl, well it is actually a supernova with a companion star, lol. Pretty gorgeous image, did you go check it out full size? I liked the colors, blue and red/orange. 18:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I did check it out. The colour formation is simply breathtaking. It actually has the power to hypnotise me as I can get really lost in it. AngelOfSadness talk 18:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that's why I just love the Hubble telescope, and hope it can get repaired to keep it working until its replacement is up. The images those things provide are simply breathtaking, and the benefit they provide is nothing short of inspirational. 19:34, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I know. If only I had that image in poster form, so I could look at it everyday. AngelOfSadness talk 19:46, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for watching Vandalism!

I recently signed up on Misplaced Pages after having to remove vandalism multiple times from the same article. I just now discovered the history function and saw a message you left to one of the vandals I was trying to stamp out. Thanks for fighting the good fight!

Re:MegX

I don't understand why you have reverted my post on MegX's talk page. She has had free reign to accuse me of all sort of things and write untrue statements on this site. I am the second editor she has tried to intimidate, and you are supporting that. I am disappointed. CyrusMilani —Preceding unsigned comment added by CyrusMilani (talk • contribs) 20:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

That message was on a subpage(looked like some sort of essay) of her userpage and it definately wasn't the talkpage. I don't know what the situation between you and MegX is and really I don't what to get involved in that. Anyway, I just reverted your edit as it wasn't on the talk page, I wasn't deleting it because I was supporting MegX's point of view or anything. Seeing as the message was on the userspace, it can be seen as vandalism so that is why I reverted it. Make sure that when you are trying to contact someone on wikipedia, that you put the message on their talkpage not their userpage or a subpage of their userpage(unless it states otherwise). All the best. AngelOfSadness talk 20:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

That's a great idea but they(vandals) will probably vandalise the outside of my fort.-shakes fist in anger- AngelOfSadness talk 22:28, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Ha! That would involve their mommies letting them cross the street! Won't happen! --Clubjuggle 22:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

That is true. But what if they're mommies are vandals too? :( AngelOfSadness talk 22:53, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Then they're probably too underfed and weak to put up a good fight! --Clubjuggle 23:16, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

We can then defeat them with our giant vandalism erasers. Yay! AngelOfSadness talk 23:18, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I'd much prefer a vandal eraser, but I'm probably not even close to qualifying for one of those! --Clubjuggle 23:33, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I know some nonsense edits are hard to revert because they make us laugh like this one on my userpage a while back. I almost was going to keep it as it was but I reverted it. Anyway this one is my favourite of the vandalism edits to my userpage seeing as the vandal at least looked at the userboxes before editing :D. AngelOfSadness talk 20:44, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
