User talk:Will

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 15:14, 2 January 2006

Welcome!

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 (00:53, 8 November 2005 (UTC))

recent changes

Hi there seriously. Thanks for joinin the recent changes patrol. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I made a link to your user page (which does not exist... yet), and a datestamp, so that people can identify you a bit better. A suggestion: If you type four of these: ~~~~ it automaticly creates a link to your user page and a datestamp. Try it out! — _talk Bubsty _edits 04:11, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Sig Help

Hey Seriously, just thought I'd drop you a quick line to give you some help on signing. :) To sign your name in a STUFF vote, a Talk page or a Guestbook, type three tildes as follows: ~~~ - this signs your name and creates a link to your User page.

You can also type four tildes (~~~~) to sign your name and leave the current date - this is appropriate for Talk pages and Guestbooks, but not for STUFF.

Just thought I'd help. :) —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 17:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

i rock.

hi again

Hi again Seriously. Just to tell you, that template you were trying to put on Jerome is {{tobedeleted}}. However, unless you have a good reason to delete it, I think it's ok the way it is. — _talk Bubsty _edits 23:26, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey Seriously, Your Hair is Messed Up is an actual feature; it's just from the Everything Else DVD, which a lot of people don't have yet. That's probably why it hasn't been transcribed yet. We can't delete a legit feature like that, so I'm going to remove the template. Keep on tranglin'. Heimstern Läufer 23:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

woah, sorry. i didn't know that. i will edit right now. Seriously 23:58, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Don't worry; no harm done. I've already fixed it. In the future, you may want to read the talk page of an article if you think an article needs deleting; people may already have discussed this. That was the case for the article in question in this case. Oh, and you should sign your comments. You can do that by typing ~~~~ after your comments. Talk atcha later! Heimstern Läufer 23:55, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

thanks a lot. you are very nice for helping me learn how to do editing properly. i guess i should put my trigger-happy edit sign away for a while. Seriously 23:58, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

I was like that too when I was new... just ask It's dot com. — _talk Bubsty _edits 00:44, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

I am bored

will someone put more on my talk page? how can i have fun on such an awesome website if i don't get messages n' stuff? Seriously 01:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

If you're bored you can always work on your userpage. You can also look around on other User's pages, and find Guestbooks, Quizzes, easter eggs, and other fun things. You can browse the Secret Pages, you never know what you'll find there. Then there's opening a random wiki page, and fixing it up. You can patroll the recent changes, and revert vandals, welcome new users, and help people who post questions on talk pages. Then there's the chat channel, the forum, other user's talk pages, and of course, the official site. There's all sorts of things to do, if you use your imagination! ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:52, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

well, i did, actually. you can read my userpage if you want. however, one question about vandals: if what they say is bad, then how do you fix it? and i have posted messages on a lot of STUFF and talk pages and noone has answered them. wah!

anyway, thanks. i like it when awesome people who know about this website (unlike me) set the standards for influencing new users. Seriously 01:58, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't quite understand your question about vandals. You mean what do you do if somebody changes a page for the worst? Well you can always edit it yourself after, to fix what they did. If it's just badly worded or something, just editing it is fine. If they add something obviously wrong, but innocent, then you can revert it, and if it's obviously blatantly vandalism, add it to the list of offenders or let a sysop know. They'll block them. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

sweet, thanks. i just tried it out. whoever the heck johnny is, your deletion of a goof in fall float parade is destroyed!!!!!

yeah, i get excited when i find this stuff on the wiki. Seriously 02:07, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Well just make sure your edit is productive. If you looked in the comment of Jonny's edit, he had created that sentance, and then deleted it a minute later because it was already meantioned in remarks. Your re-adding has already been reverted by another user. Most edits are productive, so always check the comment before just assuming it's vandalism or counterproductive. Glad to see you taking an interest in recent changes though. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:22, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

things go a mile a minute around here! i just don't get it! it's like when mulder from the x-files is fighting to retrieve evidence from a broken train car in a navajo reservation, but fails spectacularly!

if you know what episode that's from, you get a gold star. Seriously 02:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

well, i'm signing off now. seeya later, thunderbird! Seriously 02:29, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I've never seen the X-Files before. Seya later. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
