You can talk to me here if you want. I don't care. Right now I'm deep in thought about what to get my friend for her birthday. It's in 5 days, so I gotta think fast. Hmm... -Brightstar Shiner 19:03, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't suppose she'd appreciate a half-digested gazelle carcas? —AbdiViklas 20:25, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Probably not. I just got her a nice game yesterday, actually. I can only imagine what she'd think of me if I gave her that gazelle carcas, though. Eww. -Brightstar Shiner 20:55, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

The Welcome AbdiViklas Gave Me

Welcome to the Homestar Runner Wiki! I wanted to extend a personal welcome, since I believe strongly that a Wiki should be a democratic and non-threatening place where everyone feels like they can contribute. Unfortunately it can be very frustrating at first if you make changes that are ignored or changed back by other users, but if so I encourage you to hang in there; as you get a feel for the way things are done around here you'll feel more at home. That was my experience, anyway!

If you need any help, feel free to ask anyone on the welcoming committee (like me!). You can also post questions on the FAQ talk page.

Here are some tips to get you started:

• If you need general information, editing tips, or answers to frequently asked questions, check out the help page.
• Before you do any significant editing, be sure to familiarize yourself with our wiki standards.
• Read up on the rules and guidelines for your user page. What you're reading right now, by the way, is the "Talk:" page that goes with your user page. It's a good way to communicate directly with specific users. The best way to respond, though, is on the same user page where the conversation was started. E.g. if you have a question, go to my user talk page and edit it, then watch my page (via Recent changes) for a response.
• If you're not sure what you can do to help out, head over to The Stick.
• If you're looking for more community interaction, you can also register over at our forum and get More Community Interaction Than You Or Your Grandmother Can Handle!
• Above all, be bold and have fun!

Feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it. (In general, it's frowned on to delete other people's input on talk pages, but this entry is just here to be helpful. When it's done being helpful, I guarantee you won't hurt my feelings by ditching it!)

Sincerely,
AbdiViklas and the rest of the welcoming committee (00:57, 18 October 2005 (UTC))

Also, some additional fun formatting tips can be found at Help:Contents#Specific Help. —AbdiViklas 01:11, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, those links are all on the main help page. — It's dot com

Ah... um, so they are. —AbdiViklas 01:48, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Hello from Wiki grrl

ML: I, PEP (you know who I am.....ur friend who LOVES Homestar) I created a username on here. It is Wiki_grrl or Wiki grrl. C ya! PEP --Wiki grrl

Userboxes

Hey, make sure you start your tower with {{userboxtop}} and end it with |}. Then be sure you copied ALL the code for the boxes. Then it should work! HTH, - Qermaq - (^T/C)  23:18, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

This user is asking for the help of wiki users who can figure this crap out! This isn't right. Almost perfect but not quite. -Brightstar Shiner 23:50, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Looks good now. Anything else? - Qermaq - (^T/C)  07:08, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Nope! Looks awesome. Thanks for all the help, Qermaq and others. -Brightstar Shiner 17:03, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Check. This. Out.

Hey all you Wikipedia lovers (like me)! If you have access to Time Magazine, which most of you do, look at the first page of the 100 Best New Thinkers and Scientists (or something like that, I can't remember and I don't have it with me). It made me proud. -Brightstar Shiner 22:22, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello From Unme93

Hey, I am no longer Wiki grrl. I have a new one cuz something happened to wiki grrl, like the password was forgotten and the email the account was on was cancelled. Wiki grrl is now Unme93.

That Quote Thing

Anybody who can figure out the non-Homestar quotes on my userpage (the ones that I used > to seperate them with) gets cupcakes! -Brightstar 21:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Your Signature

It looks like you've put <span style="color: #800080;">[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]]</span> in the "nickname" box in your preferences, but didn't turn on the "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" checkbox - you have to turn that option on to get fancy sigs to work. Incidentally, the <span> will have to go inside the link to work correctly: [[User:Brightstar Shiner|<span style="color: #800080;">Brightstar Shiner</span>]]. If you want more info, look at Help:Signature and HRWiki:Signature. --phlip ^T_C 21:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Couple questions though. Can I still put 4 tildes for the sig or do I have to write all that out every time? And how do the sig subpages help? -Brightstar Shiner 21:15, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, you can still use the four tildes if you put it in that box in the preferences and turn "raw sigs" on. The sig subpages help by letting you make more complex sigs without cluttering up the talk page source with your signature's code... which isn't a problem with something as simple as changing the colour, but for more complex sigs it's good to get it out of the way. --phlip ^T_C 21:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
