Tabs
Making the user page tabs is actually quite easy, and it only requires some links in boxes. You could have just checked how I made my page (edit it), but I'll make it easy for you. Just edit the following part with your own pages (as if you were writing links) and place it at the top of your page:
PS: Forgive the lateness of my reply. I would be more than happy to do the tabs for you if you like.

I already did the tabs for you, saving you a couple of minutes of precious time! I hope you like them, if you want anything else added to the tabs, just tell me!

References
How do I use the <ref></ref> tags?
{{helpme}}
Include the reference in between the tags (you can use templates such as {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}}, etc.) and then ensure there is a {{reflist}} at the bottom of the article. –xeno (talk) 15:58, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

You're very random. I mainly made a wikipedia page in Biology because I was bored. I think I'll go write a Knol now.

I notice some of your templates on your user page, and I would like you to consider joining the Article Rescue Squadron. Rescue Squadron members are focused on rescuing articles for deletion, that might otherwise be lost forever to Wikipedia, you may find our project matches your vision of Wikipedia.
Welcome to Article Rescue Squadron Unionhawk/Archives/2009/March, a dynamic list of articles needing to be rescued, which changes with new updates, can be found here:

My edits in the WAGA personalities article
I'm sorry, but I was helping directly pointing wikilinks since it showed "(Redirected from)". --99.158.136.26 (talk) 02:13, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Ah... You should seriously make an account...--Unionhawk (talk) 02:15, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!
Some points that may be helpful:
Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.
Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as "bitey". Encourage civility and maybe even {{welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.
The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion.
Category Articles tagged for deletion and rescue not found
Our primary work is improving articles tagged for rescue. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on our current articles page. It is highly recommended you watchlist it.
If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.
Unionhawk, welcome to Wikipedia. Since you are relatively new, you may not be aware that if you revert edits to an article, you should add an explanation in the edit summary. According to Wikipedia:Vandalism,
"The edit summary is important in that it helps other editors understand the purpose to your edit. Though use of it is not required, it is strongly recommended, even for some minor edits, and is considered proper Wikipedia etiquette."
Even better is to make an entry on the article's talk page and on the contributor's talk page. If the reason for removing a contribution is not obvious to everyone, reverting could be construed as vandalism. I await your response. Mgreason (talk) 15:29, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm... you have a very good point. I guess I should be going for quality, not quantity.--Unionhawk (talk) 15:41, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Moeller HS
Thanks for your edits to Moeller HS. Could you add a more reliable source to your addition to the laptop section on Moeller HS? As it stands now it seems like a veiled attempt to advertise a product. -- Lucas20 (talk) 20:33, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
hmm... you may be right. As it stands now, only that case study and the computer policies sheet mention it. Not very notable... Perfectly verifiable, but not really needed--Unionhawk (talk) 20:37, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Moron trivia
Hi Hawk, hope you don't mind, but I've declined your speedy on Moron trivia and instead directed it to a section. What do you think of this alternative? WereSpielChequers 19:00, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
That works.--Unionhawk (talk) 20:13, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi, and welcome to the WikiProject Ohio! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Ohio.
A few features of the project that you might find helpful:
The open task box is updated frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{Ohiotasks}} on your user page.
All important discussions take place on our project's main discussion page; you can also watch this page to keep up with discussions.
We also have a taskforce on our over 1,000 townships at which can be found at WP:OHTWP.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or any other member of the project, we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! §hepTalk 22:14, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Let the record show that this deletion request was withdrawn, and the article improved.--Unionhawk (talk) 12:20, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
DYK
Hi Unionhawk, thanks for your interest in contributing to WP:Did you know! I just wanted to let you know that this article that you rejected for being too old actually does meet our criteria; DYK accepts not only articles created within the past five days, but articles expanded more than fivefold within the past five days (the reasoning is that an article expanded this much is basically a new article). This article was expanded from a single sentence to several paragraphs within the last couple days, so it qualifies. For more information, you can look at the DYK rules or Art LaPella's unofficial guide to DYK. Best, rʨanaɢtalk/contribs 17:56, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Oh... Thanks for the clarification...--Unionhawk (talk) 18:00, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
