Hi.

Because of your renaming, I lost the "this user was Wikipedian of the day" template (it's a red link now) on my userpage. How do I get it back? - Zhang He (talk) 01:53, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry! I requested all my old redirects to be deleted, and I didn't think of that. I'll re-redirect them. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 01:58, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
All right, let me know when you're done re-organizing everything by either replying here or posting a new message on my talk page. - Zhang He (talk) 01:59, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm all done. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 02:01, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Awesome, thanks! It's showing up again! - Zhang He (talk) 02:01, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

My welcoming template

Ahoy, I recently created a custom version of an already existing welcome template, and I was wondering if you could do me a quick favour and send it to me as if welcoming me as a new user, to see if everything works properly for any other user(s) that might wish to use it. {{User:Jeffrey Mall/Welcome}} Ta, Jeffrey Mall (talkcontribs) - 19:29, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done :) It looks like it works correctly. If it's not and you need help fixing it, I'll probably be able to help you. Cheers! --Meaghan guess who :) 20:11, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Thank you, ^_^ almost got it but it still says "Hello, Jeffrey Mall, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm Jeffrey Mall" even though you were the user leaving the message. Would it be possible to have it so that it automatically adds the name of the person who left the welcome and not mine? Jeffrey Mall (talkcontribs) - 21:12, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Btw, I like your new logo. Jeffrey Mall (talkcontribs) - 21:13, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, if you ever want me to make one for you, I can. About the template. You can replace Jeffrey Mall with <includeonly>~~</includeonly>~, but this would put the signature in, and not just the plain username.
You could also replace Jeffrey Mall with {{{1}}} or {{{1|Jeffrey Mall}}}. If you used the first one, users using it, including you, would have to type {{subst:User:Jeffrey Mall/Welcome|USERNAME}}. If you used the second one, you wouldn't have to type your username, but other users using it will have to type theirs.
Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 22:01, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Wahey! Sorted! Thanks Meaghan. Jeffrey Mall (talkcontribs) - 22:14, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem! --Meaghan guess who :) 22:15, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Re: Red Star

Thank you for the Red Star. It's an honor to receive one. I better put my sunglasses on. 8) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:46, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Lol :) Not a problem! You deserve it. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 22:15, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
I just noticed, the backgroud to your Red Star award is the same color as my normal non holiday influenced signature: Crimson. I feel so special :)--Coldplay Expert 22:37, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, it is too :) --Meaghan guess who :) 22:40, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I have a serious problem with my userpage. Im trying to put a list of links to semipages at the top of it (like yours), right below my name but I cant do it. can you help me?--Coldplay Expert 23:04, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Here you go:

WOW thanks! can I come to you if I ever have any userpage/talk page issues in the future?--Coldplay Expert 23:11, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Of course! :) --Meaghan guess who :) 23:12, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Now what should my talk page look like? any suggestions?--Coldplay Expert 23:28, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

You could do something similar to your user page. If you want, I can make you a new design for your talk page in my userspace. If you want any particular colours or anything, let me know. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 23:47, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
That would be great! and ill let you choose the colors. thanks--Coldplay Expert 00:07, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I'll get onto it. Cheers! --Meaghan guess who :) 01:41, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Twinkle, twinkle, little...

Red star! Aww thank you for that, so sweet :). Jeffrey Mall (talkcontribs) - 00:37, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem! You deserve it. :) Cheers and big hugs, --Meaghan guess who :) 01:39, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Thnaks for all the help, you really deserve some sort of barnstar or something for all of this :)--Coldplay Expert 02:00, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
It's finished! See User:Meaghan/Coldplay. Hope you like it. (you don't need to give me a barnstar ;) Cheers! --Meaghan guess who :) 02:06, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
WOW, its amazing! how did you do it?--Coldplay Expert 02:12, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks :) That design is actually used on a few other user pages. I copied it, and changed the colours and put your stuff in it. Just fyi, if you ever want to change the colours, there's a limited amount of colours you can use (those fancy tabs are actually images. You may want to check out this before changing colours. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 02:18, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Cool, well once again, thanks for all the help. goodnight.--Coldplay Expert 02:22, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my talk page again :)--Coldplay Expert 17:01, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Re: Orange Star

Thank you again! I put aside my sunglasses and have this handy mask that I can use... B) It makes me look a little goofy, but I can see. Sort of... P.S., you need to make some new userboxes for people to use like the nifty ones you made for your WOTD. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:26, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem! You deserve both. :) I'll make some userboxes now. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 14:12, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
The userboxes are great. B) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 01:11, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Agreed. Jeffrey Mall (talkcontribs) - 02:01, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Shining Stars?

Hello Meaghan (you're Midnight Comet right?), does your shining stars program work on nomination, with other users nominating people for an award, and you check them out, or is it nomination and all the users vote? Or is it simply you decide who gets what?--Jakkinx Happy Mogloween! 17:38, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I was Midnight Comet. Normally, I simply decide who get's what. However, I'm open to suggestions. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 19:38, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
ah, thanks for clarifying that for me. I see Coldplay Expert's managing your old WOTD program, neither that or Shining Stars are "official" right? I mean, they're like barnstars with special qualifications, correct?--Jakkinx Happy Mogloween! 00:46, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I guess you could say that. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 13:22, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations, Meaghan! For your kindness to others, your hard work around the wiki, and for being a great user, you have been awarded the "Wikipedian of the Day" award for today, 1, November 2009! Keep up the great work!--Coldplay Expert 00:07, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Note: You could also recieve the "Wikipedian of the Week award for this week!


this isnt for the talk page, although I really liked it :) you diserve it because of your tireless efforts to promote wikilove through your spinning stars program as well as helping new users. Good job!--Coldplay Expert 00:11, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

~blushes~ Thank you so much, Coldplay! :) It's an honour to be your first WOTD. Cheers and big hugs, --Meaghan guess who :) 13:20, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Dont mention it, you have always helped new users and you continue to spread wikilove through your award program. Keep up the good work :)--Coldplay Expert 13:55, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Midnight Comet

If you wanted to, you could redirect that here. Just saying.Abce2|This isnot a test 21:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

I know; it normally would've been redirected, but I just requested the redirects from my old name to be deleted. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 00:00, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Slight Problem

Hi! I sort of have a minor problem. As you probably already know I am trying to get World War II to GA and soon FA status. However I also have about 8 more articles that I have the same goal for. THe only problem is that I dont know where to start. out of my to do list (on my userpage) which articles do you think I should put the most improtance on geting to GA status? I cant choose. Should it be ones that need a lot of work or just the opposite? Thanks in advance :)--Coldplay Expert 00:05, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

I would start with the ones that need a lot of work, to get those ones up with the ones that don't need much work. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 00:08, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks that means that Battle of France and Norwegian Campaign are first. Oh and I think D212012F just commented on his page :)--Coldplay Expert 00:12, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Twinkle, twinkle, little

Red Star! Thank you very much! December21st2012Freak Lord of the Vulcans 00:12, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem! You deserve it. :) Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 00:13, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Careful

Thanks for at least removing your accidental warning to me. I beat you to the punch on reverting vandalism on the history of spaceflight. ;) FELYZA TALK CONTRIBS 12:54, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, keep up the good work ;) Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 12:57, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Question

Hi, I have a Question, could you please tell me how to nomanate a artical for fetared artical? regards--Orangesodakid 19:06, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

See WP:Featured article candidates. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 21:42, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Hey sorry that im just bombarding you with questions about FA's and GA's but can you take a look at Battle of the Netherlands for me please. Me and another user called User:MWAK are trying to bring it up to GA status. The only thing that is missing are 3-4 citations about the Dutch Air Force. And critisism would be greatly appreciated :)--Coldplay Expert 21:50, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
I think that once you add those missing citations to the Dutch Air Force section, it would pass. Other than the citations, I personally think it's ready for a GA nomination. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 22:39, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Ill go ahead and tell MWAK that. Once agian, sorry for so many questions. I just like to get a second opinion on things.--Coldplay Expert 22:46, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
It's okay :) --Meaghan guess who :) 23:17, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Well I nominated it. Now I have two articles up for GA status. I hope they pass :)--Coldplay Expert 23:29, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you!

That's very generous of you! First the New York Islanders win their fourth game in a row, then I come home to this wonderful surprise! :) Thanks, iMatthew talk at 03:12, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem! You deserve it. :) Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 12:37, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk page

Hi there! I'd like to thank you for being a "biter". I think that people should be allowed to edit their own pages as they see fit. It is not for you to decide what I post on my own site. Thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gn dawson (talkcontribs) 21:48, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

A lot of things are acceptable on user pages and user talk pages. However personal attacks are not acceptable. Calling other users "douchebags" is a personal attack and is completely unacceptable. See WP:USERPAGE for more information on what is and isn't allowed in your user space. --Meaghan guess who :) 21:52, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Question about talk pages

Hey, whenever I edit your talk page I see the 2 boxes that talk about speeding deletions. How did you do that?--Coldplay Expert 22:02, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

It's an editnotice. You can create one for your talk page by going to User talk:Coldplay Expert/Editnotice and posting what you want it to say. You can also make one for your user page at User:Coldplay Expert/Editnotice. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 22:04, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Oh thanks! (My ignorance to things I should have known about a long time ago never cease to amuse me)--Coldplay Expert 22:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Well I put an editnotice on my talk page but it mess up everything else. Can you fix it please?--Coldplay Expert 22:32, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
I'll see if I can figure it out. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 22:37, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
I fixed it for you. You accidentally made a typo, you closed it off with |), and that caused your talk page edit form to be all wonky. I fixed it by changing it to |}. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 22:43, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!--Coldplay Expert 23:07, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you

I didn't quite make WOTW but I got OS! I am honored Meaghan, thank you. Jeffrey Mall (talkcontribs) - 01:55, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem! You deserve it, so give yourself a nice pat on the back ;) Cheers! --Meaghan guess who :) 02:47, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Random

If 1/3 is .33333.... then isn't 3/3 .9999999.... so 1=.9999999 This is some how you, the random user I founds fault. Good Job. Old Al (talk) 03:34, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that's correct. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 12:23, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

re: Your Message

Hi Meaghan, I've left you a reply on my talk page -- Marek.69 talk 00:08, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Twinkle Twinkle Little Red Star!

Wow Thanks Meaghan! I was not expecting that at all (That reminds me, I have to give my next WOTD award out!) :)--Coldplay Expert 02:10, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem! :) You've been working hard to fight vandals, be kind, and get those articles to GA status. You deserve it. Cheers! --Meaghan guess who :) 02:59, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! and when will we get to see who wins the first Yellow star! I can't wait to see what it looks like!--Coldplay Expert 03:00, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Sometime later today (UTC) or early tommorow. Unless you want it to be a surprise, I can show you the Yellow Star template. :) --Meaghan guess who :) 03:02, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
I want it to be a surprise! And Im jumping the gun here you still have to give out the next orange star before anything else. Well I guess when I wake up (its 10:00PM here) Ill check your contribs and find out what it looks like. Anyway once again thanks and good night!--Coldplay Expert 03:04, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I'll make it a surprise (if you want another surprise to wait for, the Blue Star template is very pretty). Just fyi, the next Orange Star will probably be awarded between 13:00 and 19:00 UTC. The first Yellow Star will probably be awarded between 22:00 and 23:59 UTC. Good night, --Meaghan guess who :) 03:09, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Meaghan, thanks for your kindness. It's always nice to have something bright and sunny on your talkpage, and I think daisies do the job very well! So these are for you :) ~ Riana 15:16, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

That's so sweet! You deserve the awards. :) Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 18:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
A distraction to temporarily stop you from vandal fighting and to stop you beating me to the rollback button. Stupid bot! Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 18:57, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, I just can't help it :) Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 19:01, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Aaargh! Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 19:37, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
That was actually ClueBot that reverted the vandalism, but I accidentally reverted ClueBot, and then I self-reverted. If that's what you meant. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 19:42, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Really?! That's something I've neve done. Wait. Have I? Oh, crap, I bet I have without noticing. One more thing to worry about, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 19:46, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm sure you would have noticed if you had done it. :) Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 19:48, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations, Meaghan! For your kindness to others, your hard work around the wiki, and for being a great user, you have been awarded the "Wikipedian of the Week" award for this week! Keep up the great work!--Coldplay Expert 18:09, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
Note: You could also recieve the top award, "Wikipedian of the Month" for this month!


OMG, thank you so much, Coldplay! I really wasn't expecting Wikipedian of the Week to be me. Big hugs, --Meaghan guess who :) 12:59, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Hey Meaghan, would you mind enabling email? I'd like to have a private discussion. It has nothing to do with yesterday. =) ceranthor 18:35, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Re: Yellow Star

Egads! That yellow star is too bright even for my new goggles! B) Thank you. It's an honor being the first yellow star. B) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:59, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

You deserve the honour :) Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 12:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Can I be the second? :) Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 22:12, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
NO I should get it even though I was in the running last week. (not really)--Coldplay Expert 22:31, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
