Thanks for the general idea of the siggy. I didn't like the colors too much, so I tried about 250 combinations until I got this one (let me know what you think): — Preceding unsigned comment added by Razorflame (talkcontribs)

Nice! But why is the "redsilver" turning out pink and the "silverblack" cyan? Lights (talk) § 01:28, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I got it! Could I have a prismatic siggy (lots of colors). Like maybe a rainbow? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Razorflame (talkcontribs)

That's not a problem since I know the colours of the rainbow by heart.

This is my final question: Can you make me a signature that looks like a gradient from red to orange? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Razorflame (talkcontribs)

Of course!

Lights (talk) § 02:10, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now that is freaking sweet! Awesome job on it! You deserve something for your patience:

The Special Barnstar
For outstanding work on Razorflame's Signature, and for making many test signatures for me. I hereby away you this special barnstar! Razorflame 02:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yay, thanks! Lights (talk) § 02:18, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Did you want me to semi-protect your sig again? Lights (talk) § 03:04, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. Razorflame 16:59, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Done;-))) Lights (talk) § 17:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IP Block list[change source]

I told someone about this a while back and nobody listened to me. Thanks for listening now :) Razorflame 16:59, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem ;-))) If you are going to ask an admin to fix another error, you might want to link them the MediaWiki: page. You can find the MediaWiki: page using Special:Allmessages. Cheers, Lights (talk) § 17:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is that the link to the system messages page? If it is, I would rather not link them to that because that page is a beast to load (like 480kb) Razorflame 17:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, sorry. But, I meant for you to link the MediaWiki: page (such as MediaWiki:Blocklistline) not the system messages page. You don't have to use the system messages page to find a MediaWiki: page, I once found a MediaWiki: page by guessing it's name. Cheers, Lights (talk) § 17:18, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thanks ^_^[change source]

why is it like that? i don't remember having to do that on the other ones Oo Ben(Talk).(Changes) 16:20, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

in the templates that I use which have my signature in them? Ben(Talk).(Changes) 16:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can You Help me?[change source]

Hey It's me, We spoke yesterday about Ben's userpage, it's all been cleared up now. But You're admin, and Razorflame(my Mentor) isn't logging on, so I thought I would ask you, because you seem knowlegable and nice. I have creted my own Music Project for Simple wikipedia, It's Called SimpleWikiProject Music, feel free to take a look at it. When I build up a few more dedicated members and get the project underway, I would Like Barnstars which I would be able to award to Project members & for experienced users to award to project members who they think are doing a good job.

I have designed Two barnstars which I would like to use, they are saved on my computer. Can you please help me turn them into templates just like normol Barnstars. Thank-you IuseRosary 17:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. You're going to have to upload your images at the commons since images are not aloud to be uploaded here. When you upload images at the commons, you can use them here.

Copy the barnstar below and paste it on to a template like Template:The Music Barnstar. If you are not going to call the barnstar image Music Barnstar.png, replace Music Barnstar.png with whatever your image will be called.

The Music Barnstar
{{{1}}}

Lights (talk) § 17:37, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank-You ver so much. You've just made me even more excited about the project1 Yay. Than-you so much!

IuseRosary 17:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks ao Much, the Barnstars look great, but they are like long codes, is there a way that you can turn These two Codes:


{| style="border: 1px solid {{{border|gray}}}; background-color: {{{color|#fdffe7}}};" |rowspan="2" valign="middle" | [[Image:MusicisSexymale.png|100px]] |rowspan="2" | |style="font-size: x-large; padding: 0; vertical-align: middle; height: 1.1em;" | '''The ''Music is Sexy'' Barnstar            ''' |- |style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 1px solid gray;" |Possible Barnstar no.1 |}

&

{| style="border: 1px solid {{{border|gray}}}; background-color: {{{color|#fdffe7}}};" |rowspan="2" valign="middle" | [[Image:Music is sexyfemle.png|100px]] |rowspan="2" | |style="font-size: x-large; padding: 0; vertical-align: middle; height: 1.1em;" | '''The ''Music is Sexy'' Barnstar            ''' |- |style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 1px solid gray;" |Possible Barnstar no.2 |}


...into to templates, like the normol barnstar templates. Thank-You IuseRosary 18:15, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Actually, Yeah, I do Need the help, Can the templates be:

-

  • {{subst:The Music is Sexy Male Barnstar|message~~~~
  • {{subst:The Music is Sexy Femaile Barnstar|message~~~~

- Please... Thank-you ever so much... so just to recall, can you please turn those big long codes above, into these small templates, please. - The first long code should go to the first Template and the second long code to the second template. - Thank -you, again IuseRosary 18:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're going to have to copypaste to male code to Template:The Music is Sexy Male Barnstar and the female code to the Template:The Music is Sexy Female Barnstar. If you like, you can also create the barnstars in your userpspace at User:IuseRosary/WikiProject/Male Barnstar and User:IuseRosary/WikiProject/Female Barnstar. I wouldn't recommend calling it "Music is Sexy" though. Lights (talk) § 18:47, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Thank-You So Much for helping me with my Barnstar, If you see{WP:BARN]] it's up there, So I thank you, Barliner helped me alot, but You deserve a special Tjhanks aswell for your efforts. IuseRosary 19:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Lights! I sent you an email a while back and I haven't received a response yet. If you haven't checked it, please remember to check your email regularly as many users send unblock requests via email. Thanks, Archer7 - talk 22:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did see your email, I wasn't interested in what it was about, and you said to email you if I was interested, so I didn't think it needed a response. Cheers, Lights (talk) § 23:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, that's fine. Sorry for the confusion! Thanks, Archer7 - talk 23:03, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I also sent you an email a while back, and you haven't replied either. Razorflame 23:03, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I did reply a few days ago, maybe there was an error? I've seen a case at en where a user sent someone an email, and that user said they had no email. Lights (talk) § 23:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To my email? How many days ago? If it was later than 4 days ago, I've already deleted it. Razorflame 23:06, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think it was on the 2nd, which was 4 days ago. Lights (talk) § 23:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I got it on my other email account. Thanks for the message :) Razorflame 23:22, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem ;-))) Just letting you know that I saw your email you just sent me, and I don't think it needs a reply, so don't worry about not getting a reply. Cheers, Lights (talk) § 23:36, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't send emails to that account anymore. Please send all emails to the account that is set into my profile. Thanks. Razorflame 23:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An Aplogy[change source]

Hello, I am sending this to all of the main users who I have been involved with or that may have been involed in my outbirst yesterday. I would like to apologise if you were involved in my outbirst yesterday. So if it does not involve you, do with this message what you will.

I'm sorry for wasted time and effort. I cannot justify my use of foul language, but neither can I say that it was not provocked. I feel I have let both you and simple wikipedia down. I hope you accept my apology.

Thank-You

IuseR 20:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't involved in the outbirst, but I accept your apology. Cheers, Lights (talk) § 20:49, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Editing[change source]

Hey there Lights. I would recommend that you make one big edit to each of your asteroid pages instead of making 8-10 smaller edits. That's what the preview button is for. I'm not trying to sound rude, but you really should consider this. Razorflame 21:08, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have thought of doing that before, but I think that it's a lot easier to do things separately, rather than doing things all at once. But that's just my opinion. If you really really want me to do it all in 1 edit, I will though. Cheers, Lights (talk) § 21:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Were the changes you are making wide sweeping, I can see the point, but looking at the changes individually and collectively I do have to wonder. In an article with a template, seven lines of code (two of which are categories) and iw links, it took 9 edits to finish. For example in the last couple articles, sentence 1, Change "large" to "big". Save. Sentence 3, change "discovered" to "found". Save. Change the stub. Save. Delete a template. Save. Looking at the last few articles, it took six edits to change the name of the template, two lines of the template, two words, the stub, one red template and the category. Add in initial creation and moving it and that is a lot of space on the new changes list. All of that could have been done with a relatively simple single edit in the main space with little impact on new changes. I made a couple changes to make it even easier. {{Minor Planet}} now redirects to {{Infobox Planet}} so that does not need to be changed. Template:Infobox Planet was also tweaked so it now accepts either discovered (ours) or discovery_date (en:wp's) as valid entries for the date so this also doesn't need to be changed.
Were this a 10K article with multiple sections and a host of simplification, I could see it, but many of these are 1 1/2K articles with three sentence where the template and IW are much bigger than the actual text. -- Creol(talk) 06:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll just create the articles in mainspace making 1 edit without moving them unless they're longer for now on. I might also use my userspace in the future for expanding, since I noticed one asteroid article somewhere in the 700's that only has "<#> <Name> is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.", with an infobox, etc. Cheers, Lights (talk) § 23:50, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hi there[change source]

User:Iamandrewrice/LGBT SimpleWikiProject

on that page, at the bottom, for some reason I can't get the Barnstar to come up at the bottom Oo... why is this? IamARice 22:21, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

but the barnstar already exists... its on WP:Barn... IamARice 22:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thank you :)

also... how could i advertise... well not advertise... but tell people about my project so I can get more members to join?

IamARice 13:37, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for butting in Lights, but I'll take this answer. You can easily tell other people about it by posting a topic in the Simple talk page. If that doesn't work, you can also send them an email asking for support. You'll get the members you need in time; all you have to do is be patient Razorflame 14:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks... I hope you're right, but there's only me at the moment lol, so there doesnt seem like theres that much hope IamARe 16:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar Congratulations: You have been given a Barnstar!

For the past few months, you've been the top 1 editor in our Wikipedia (proof) to the extent that our mostly edited articles in December 2007 are from the subject area of your interest (moons). I thought I should stop by and say "Keep up the good work". Congratulations! - Huji reply 11:44, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Galaxy/Milky Way[change source]

I was just looking through the Galaxy and Milky Way articles and I think there is too much galaxy information in the Milky Way article, so I've added it to the Galaxy article instead. Due to your hard work on astronomy articles, I thought I would ask for you thoughts. Thanks MindTheGap (talk) 15:59, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you made the right choice, since that information was mainly about other galaxies, so there's no need to have it in the Milky Way article. Cheers, Lights (talk) § 20:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asteroids[change source]

You do know that you can add the en link to the page before saving it, right? Razorflame 21:11, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Right now I'm just taking small steps into not using my userspace, since I'm not used to it very much and when I first started it I forgot the interwiki and other stuff sometimes. I'll probably just do it in one change sometime in the future. I hope you don't mind this. Lights (talk) § 22:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. I'm just letting you know that it is possible to do that for future reference. Razorflame 17:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you now how to remove the category from this template if it has the |blocked parameter added? Oysterguitarist 03:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
