Username

I have to admit that I'm a tiny bit envious of your username — I wish I'd thought of it when I was picking usernames! english paper was the first sbemail I watched and will always hold a special place in my heart :) Trey56 17:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Editing Signatures

You posted on a talk page asking how to change your signature, right? Here are some detailed instructions. —Shwoo 07:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Just make sure they follow the guidelines. --DorianGray
Thanks a lot. --TheYellowDart 20:59, 9 December 2006

Logo discussion

Hey there. I notice you have a lot of strong opinions about the logo. That fine, but please don't edit the discussion just to add chatter. Thanks! — It's dot com 04:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Aww, Mom!! --TheYellowDart—(t/c)


Um... why are all my posts DELETED!? I'm a good kid. Why? --TheYellowDart—(t/c)

They weren't deleted just moved up a couple of subjects, look earlier in the page for them and a reply. - Ilko Skevüld's Teh C 21:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Whoops! Sorry, sir. --TheYellowDart—(t/c)

OWN'D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

The person who made it was E.L. Cool

  • Whoever posted that, thanks, and uh... I'm adding him to my Cool People List. --TheYellowDart—(t/c)

Editing others' user pages

Hey Theyellowdart, I know that you and Snickjames55 are friends and don't mind it when you edit each other's pages. Nevertheless, the reason the rule is in place about not editing others' user pages is that it makes it much easier to spot vandalism. Sorry for reverting your edit against your wishes, but that really is an important rule. Trey56 02:25, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. I'll just tell him at school tomorrow to change it. PEACE, --TheYellowDart—(t/c)
That's fine — or you could just leave a note on his talk page... Trey56 02:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I would just like to apologize to both of you because all I was trying to do was get my sig up. It's just that I'm new and still learning how to do things. Alright. Thanks again. Snickjames55
No problem — and nice sig, by the way :) Trey56 02:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey Trey... how do get little pictures on your sig?? Like that nice fluffy The Cheat you have? EDIT: Do want to be on my list of Cool Peeps? --TheYellowDart—(t/c)
So, you find an image you want to use, and then put the link (for example, [[Image:The-cheat-small.png|16px]]) into the appropriate spot in User:Theyellowdart/sig. Trey56 03:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
And YES I want to be on your list of Cool Peeps; how could I turn down an offer like that‽ :) Trey56 03:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
No problem (I'm not a sysop, btw). High fives all the times, Trey56 03:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Wassup Theyellowdart!

I've noticed you have a lot of information in your userpage, why don't you channel it into userboxes? Hoping to be your friend and not your enemy, --Mario2.PNG Super Martyo boing! 03:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Merry Christmas to you to. You are cool. I'm adding you to-my-list-a. TheYellowDart—(t/c)

More about the logo discussion

Hi Theyellowdart: I'm glad you're excited about participating in the logo discussions, but your recent posts seem to be just reiterating the same ideas over and over again. That's not really helpful; in fact, it's rather disruptive. You've made your opinion clear; there's no need to assert it any further. We are working to try to build consensus; pestering us about votes isn't going to help. That's not what this discussion is about. Please try to find other ways to contribute to the wiki. Oh, and if you do need to make amendments to your comments about the logo design, please put them with your existing comments instead of adding them to the bottom of the page.

P.S.: Good work with that new article you started. Heimstern Läufer 04:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

H*R HTML logo

Hi there, Yellowdart. I'm glad you liked the logo at the bottom of my user page, but I must give credit when credit's due. It was Rob (AKA Rainer) who made it and I copied it from him. Thanks for adding me to the cool people list anyways! I'm looking at your contribs and you made some very fine edits. Keep it up! :) — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 08:15, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks thanks thanks thanks. Still, I'll give you credit for the logo! :P --TheYellowDart—(t/c)

That's okay!

  • Hi TheYellowDart! Just wanted to say "that's okay!" about the "inconsistencies" page. I hope I didn't come off as a total jerk about my reasoning! See ya around the Wiki! kai lyn 02:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oh COOOOL!!! Thanks! I'd love to be on your "Cool People" list! Wow! You just made me really happy, (this coming from a girl who just took her first final of the semester not even half an hour ago)! Merry Christmas and a happy Decemberween to you too! See you 'round the Wiki! kai lyn 15:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk Pages

Hey Yellowdart, just a short heads-up: when you start a new topic on somebody's talk page, please add it at the bottom. The easiest way to do that is to click on the + tab next to the edit tab. This will also help you with the heading.  Loafing 21:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Wanting to be something

I have noticed that you said that your goal in this wiki is to be a sysop is some edit summaries and in your userbox. While editing with a goal is good, wanting to be a sysop this bad is not. I'm directing you to the wiki's FAQ, where there is the question "How do I become an admin or sysop?". After you read this, you'll notice that staying true to these pointers do not automatically make you a sysop. What it does make you is being a better user. Being a good user takes time and doesn't come easily. So if you want to have a goal, then please make be being a good user. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 06:53, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I know, I know about that. Calm down. Can I just wallow in my dreams? Wait, not to be mean, but is writing that on one of my userboxes bad? I just want to know. I'm sorry if it is... TheYellowDart—(t/c) P.S. A weird thing just happened: I was reading your entire user page for the first time when you gave me that message.... .....creepy...
Well, about the userbox. Saying that you want to be a sysop like that on a colorful box at the top of your user page is kinda against point 9: "Don't call us. We'll call you." and like the FAQ say, it does rise suspicion and resentment from regular users. And I am calm, never been angry :) — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 07:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, you called me. Um... do you want me to put the colorful box on the bottom of my page? :P (light hearted sarcasm) --TheYellowDart—(t/c) HAPPY FREAKIN MOTHER'S DAY
Elcool was just giving you some helpful hints on how most users will perceive that userbox. There's no need for sarcasm when someone tries to help you. And it's your decision whether it stays. Loafing 07:12, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, guys, it's late at night and I sometimes get delirious at 1:00 AM... no harm, no foul? I don't want to treat you guys like I did to ramrod. Anyway, I altered my userbox. But seriously, thanks for the advice. You guys are cool. TheYellowDart—(t/c) EDIT: I know being a sysop is a dirty job, but, guys, relax a little bit. ;)
