[edit] Recent changes
when you click on the recent changes link on the navigation bar thing, you see the list of edits with a number next to it, like (+55) (-334) (+25500). I was wondering what that signified. TommyMoullet 19:52, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- These numbers tell you the number of bytes changed in each edit. Some find it helpful for tracking vandalism. Personally, I hide them. Xiner (talk, email) 19:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] how to get rid of vandalism...
how do you revert a page that has been vandalized to a previous unvandalized version of the page?
the page in question is the page you get when you type 'Tommy' into the search box. TommyMoullet 18:12, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Go to the history, click on the date of the last nonvandalised version, click 'edit this page', and save it. You can also click on 'diff' for a vandalising edit, then on 'undo'. See Help:Reverting for fuller instructions. --ais523 18:14, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] creating Infoboxes
{{helpme}}
What is the best way to create an infobox of which no template exists? It there a way to make one without using a template? Thanks for your help, TommyMoullet 16:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's recommended that you use a template when putting an infobox in an article to make it easier for editors to understand (see a list here: Special:Prefixindex/Template:Infobox). If you can't find an appropriate one, you can make one by modifying an existing infobox template and making a new template. Also see Help:Infobox. Hope that helps! --ais523 16:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Watchlist problems...
When I click "watch" on an article, it isn't being added to my watchlist. This is a problem that has only happend recently on a single page, as I have sucessfully added pages to my watchlist in the past. Any help would be great. TommyMoullet 22:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] helpme how to label a bad article as such
while I was looking around wikipedia I found this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoboard. Most of the links are broken, it isn't written as an encyclopedia article, a few spelling errors, was created and writted entirely by unregistered accounts, and it seems almost like an advertisement. I was wondering how to label an article like this one as "needs to be re-done" or "AfD".
Thanks for your help. TommyMoullet 18:11, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Most often, edit it! make it fit the norms for that article. You could also add a {{cleanup}} tag. If it does not appear to be a salvagable article, nominate it for deletion, or tag it for speedy deletion. Thanks for the question. -Mask? 18:23, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tom Peterson says it time for Oregon COTW
Wake up! Wake up to a happy day! Says Tom Peterson. Greetings to the gang at WP:ORE, its time for another round of Collaboration of the Week. Last week was a very successful endeavor with great improvement to Oregon Swallowtail and Deuce Biglow Canyon Wind Farm. OK, so there’s no “e” but it makes me laugh. The Biglow production was so successful we got our first DYK out of it. So, let’s try for a second with the tallest building in the state, the Wells Fargo Center. Then by request we have the former governor (among other things) Neil Goldschmidt. Again, to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts, visit here.

[edit] Clown COTW
Greetings once again to members of the best encyclopedia online about Oregon (aka WP:ORE)! Last week we improved Neil Goldschmidt to close to GA level, and moved the Wells Fargo Center from Stub to Start for the Collaboration of the Week. This week we’re clowning around with some bozo from Oregon, Pinto Colvig, and then in an attempt to garner another DYK, the rather stubby Cooper Spur. As always, any contribution is appreciated, and to opt out of these messages visit here.
As we have quite a few new members over the last six months, I’ll make another pitch for our various subprojects. Listed here, you will find a variety of groups focused on specific areas of Oregon from transportation to culture. Not only can you sign up and coordinate work there, but each often has useful sources and templates related to that topic. No pressure, just an introduction to those new to the project. Adios.
