[edit] Speedy deletion of Santangelo family

A tag has been placed on Santangelo family requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Connorflanagan (talk) 11:06, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: My Leaving

It's not your fault. Don't worry about it. Just disillusioned atm as my userpage will show you. Porterjoh (talk) 12:14, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I disagree woth hat you said about the admins being "drunk with power". Usually I find admins on the Net to be pretty good, or they're out of a job soon. Katana Geldar 12:32, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption

If you'd like, I can adopt you. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 04:26, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Great, I noticed you liked Mash and 'Are you being Served?. Where do we start? Katana Geldar 05:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

:D Well, first off, do you have any questions? Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 05:21, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
For starters, how do I create templates? I'm working on a series of articles on the novels of Jackie Collins (she's a hack I know, but there's nothing about them on here so I can do it) and I'd like one of those templates to put at the bottom of the page (once I'm done with the project). Katana Geldar 05:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
You could use an existing template, if there is one, or use codes to create something. Most of the times, other templates are used in templates. Do you mean a succesion box (like on Rick Carlisle)? I should be offline very soon, so if you don't hear from me today, that is there reason. Cheers, Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 05:40, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
That's what I meant, like that Rick Carlise article, whoever he is. ;) So it's kinda linke infor bozes and userboxes then, you find one that suits then "borrow" it? I'm only seriously starting to wiki recently, though I have used the Wookiee which has the same software (just not as fun) Katana Geldar 05:43, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I've seen an example that I can "borrow", the question now will be getting it it's own page. How's that done? Do I just type in "Template:WhatIwanttocallit" in search?Katana Geldar 06:01, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
You copy the code from the other one (template, or just code on the page), paste it onto "Template:Whatyouwanttocallit" and change what information is different (e.g. name of person, people involved). Before making it a template, I suggest creating it at User:Katana Geldar/Sandbox. When you are done, I'd like to see it, if that could be "arranged". If you need any help, just call... I should be over yonder. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 16:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: It me etc.

Well, I'll have a look at those articles. If they meet the criteria for speedy deletion, just mark it with {{db|reason}}, and an admin will come along and delete it. About the sig: the color can be changed by adding the following code into the space in "My Preferences:"

<font color="#Color here">TEXT HERE</font>

Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 21:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright, how about this... you tell me what colors or whatever you want, and I'll put the code together and test it. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 00:35, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
How is that? If it's okay, just copy that code into the area on "My Preferences." Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 03:03, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Is the box in "My Preferences" checked right under the place to put the sig? If not, you need to check it. About the articles. I think they are notable. If you disagree, I would suggest an AFD where users reach consensus on whether or not the articles should be deleted. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 13:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, i've came across this by snooping through other peoples messages... sorry, bad start to this message... Anyway, your sig, may I make a suggestion? Normally in a signature there is also a link to your talk page. Makes it easier, strange but it is annoying... probably my problem really, anyway, what i am suggesting, is that because your user name is double-barrelled, maybe you could use the first part for your user page, second part for your talk page? For example:
 [[User:Katana Geldar|<font color="#008080">Katana</font>]] [[User_talk:Katana_Geldar|<font color="#008080">Geldar</font>]]

Gives: Katana Geldar

Note that the Geldar part links to your talk page (which is why it doesn't work right now.), so it splits it up, and gives a link to both your user and talk page. Just a suggestion. Regards, Grant ← κεηηε∂γ (talk) 08:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip about my signiture, I edited as you said/ i'm still fairly new to wiki, as you can see. Katana Geldar 09:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Aye no bother, to be honest its not neccesary, you can have your signature any way you want. Just a suggestion. Also, welcome! Im pretty new too. Been registered for a while, but only really getting involved lately. Anything you need help with, message me and I will do my best to help. See ya around ← κεηηε∂γ (talk) 10:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

<undent>Also, there are other things you can do with your sig, for example, sub and sup (sub and super im sure that means). Here is some sup text and here is some sub text. Maybe some bold text? or italics? or bold and italic or strike through. Maybe an arrow ↑ ↓ ↔ or ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ or † ‡ ¿ ¡ etc... Some people have borders round their sig, though i've never done it... test with a sandbox and go nuts! :D ← κεηηε∂γ (talk) 10:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
