Sorry, fella. It seems too complicated.

You must have the Raw signature checkbox checked in your preferences for your signature to work. Cheers, Mystytopia 23:00, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Flameviper/Massive

Hello, I see you tagged User:Flameviper/Massive as for speedy deletion as CSD G5. However the page did not meet CSD G5, since the page was created before the user was banned, not while he was banned. Cheers, Mystytopia 22:58, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I've moved your request to User talk:Mystytopia/Signature shop. Your signature is complete. :) Cheers, Mystytopia 23:15, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I see you tested it in the sandbox and it didn't work. To make it work, please check the Raw signature checkbox in your preferences under the signature box. Cheers, Mystytopia 23:26, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Try this:

•MAJ5• (t – c)

Cheers, Mystytopia 23:35, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

The code for that signature was '''[[User:MAJ5|•MAJ5•]]''' ([[User_talk:MAJ5|t]] – [[Special:Contributions/MAJ5|c]]). However it looks like that didn't work, so here's a simpler sig that should work:

Re:Hi!

How did you sign up to be a volunteer at Wikipedia:Abuse reports? Please respond on my talkpage. MAJ5 16:41, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, how are you?

Really, all you have to do is just sign your name and jump in, there's no criteria. Cheers- CattleGirl ^talk 03:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm really not kidding

Per my username violation removal, my last boss's first name was Sushil and his last name started with Bh... After that it was different but Sushil is definitely a person's name in Asia. See here —Wknight94 (talk) 16:21, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Re Username Reporting

Whenever I'm on someone's talk page on contribution page, I get an ARV button, and then I just select username vio from the dropdown list. It may be your browser though, Twinkle only works for me in firefox, it won't do anything in Opera or Safari. Rackabello 16:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

That's really weird, I've never had any problems with Twinkle in Firefox. Do you have a Netscape browser you can try it in? Rackabello 16:46, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

- Twinkle is currently being reprogramed per WP:TW, so maybe it has something to do with that Rackabello 16:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Please do not insert (or restore) unsourced, unencyclopedic material, such as informal accounts of family names and activities, into Wikipedia articles. This is an encyclopedia, and everything in Wikipedia must be verifiable and cited to a reliable published source. Thank you. --MCB 19:03, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

MfD

Because it is standard policy to note when new users with little or no edits start voting on things that involve policies, especially without a reasoning that involves policy to alert the closing admins (who don't search contribs), that the user's vote may need to be considered in a qualified sense. The fact that you read it as a personal issue tells me you're not familiar enough with how WP works to be doing what you're doing.

Another fact is that policy clearly states that Wikipedia is not Myspace, which also means therein that excessive userboxes are not permitted, as they are more personal than encylopedia-related. You're also incorrect in saying that a user page is a subpage - it isn't. Any user page is a main page in user space, just like any article is a main page in article space. Just because it's under en.wikipedia.org doesn't make it a subpage, which belies a fundamental misunderstanding of how things work (which is another good reason to point out new users to closing admins).

From my perspective, you're a week-old user with 1 article edit at the time you voted on a few MfDs and sent in a bunch of vandalism reports and username reports. People don't just find those sorts of things. Yet you expect that that behavior isn't suspicious to anyone? MSJapan 16:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Welcome, again

Hi Michael, I hope you are enjoying being an editor. Sometimes the discussions get a bit heated, oh well. There are lots of ways to help the project, let me know if you need some ideas. Regards, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 17:02, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem mate. Ta for the smiley, quite a history behind that symbol. Say hi again one day, always happy to help another new editor. Try not to get too distracted from improving articles and ~~learn~~ steal from others. That is a flash signature, by the way. Regards, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 17:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Tip 1. Don't be fixing peoples user pages. Especiallly if:

You haven't asked.
You are currently having a disagreement with them.

Mind how you go, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 18:00, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Adoption Request declined

I'd like a more experienced editor, and you only have a few edits, mostly reportings and that MFD you put on the talk page pissed me off, while i seek a more older editor (you're in 8th grade!) and i'm way older than you... Sorry

WP:ACC

Seeing that you have only been editing for over 5 days..I don't think it is allowed to have a new person in to help create accounts for other user and since we prefer "Experienced Editors" I hope you can wait for sometime before helping us with that..I hope you understand..Thanks..--Comet styles 14:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
