Non-free image in user space
Hi RyRy5,
I just changed your user page to prevent a non-free image from being displayed there. Fair use images can't be used in user space. Please see WP:FAIR for more info. --Onorem♠Dil 03:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- I kinda decided not to add pictures to my userpage anymore. I was going to remove it anyway. Thanks.--RyRy5 (talk) 04:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Ok !
Thanks for the userbox can you add more over time thanks. --Casey906262 (talk) 21:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC) Ok i'll try. --Casey906262 (talk) 23:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Ha Ha!
See I did find your user page that was kinda fun! --Casey906262 (talk) 00:26, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
RFA
I've reverted your addition. You are supposed to create your RFA and transclude it at the top. I would dissuade you from going for an RFA at this moment because you probably need more experience. Read the Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list for things that you should read up on and be experienced with to see what an administrator should be familiar with. bibliomaniac15 I see no changes 23:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome to the Red Sox WikiProject! We are a group of (mainly) Red Sox fans who help to improve coverage related to the Boston Red Sox on Wikipedia.
Looking for somewhere to start? Here are a few suggestions.
- You can check out topics on the main page.
- You can add {{WikiProject Boston Red Sox}} to talk pages of Boston Red Sox-related articles, and assess them as well.
- Check out the to do list for the WikiProject, and opt to try and complete some of those tasks.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or would like to talk about the project in general, feel free to leave a message on the talk page.

- That sounds fine to do. :) jj137 (talk) 20:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Status
What I did was create a user subpage with the following coding:
<div style="position:absolute; z-index:100; right:150px; top:10px;" class="metadata" id="Status"> {{#switch: {{{1}}} | online = [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|17px|I am currently online.]] <font color="green">'''Online'''</font> | offline = [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|17px|I am currently offline.]] <font color="red">'''Offline'''</font> | busy = [[Image:Symbol question.png|17px|I am currently busy. I may or may not receive your messages soon.]] <font color="teal">'''Busy'''</font> }}</div>
I then created another user subpage where I indicate my status. That page is transcluded onto my userpage and user talk page; I added some JS coding as well to make updating it easier. That probably sounds confusing, so if you need help setting it up, just tell me. jj137 (talk) 20:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure when the next newsletter delivery will be. Anyway, I set up the status thing, so if you want it, put {{User:RyRy5/Status}} at the top of the page. You can modify that page as well. jj137 (talk) 01:45, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, that was a little confusing. It actually is the brackets (not the parentheses); wherever you want your status to appear, put
{{User:RyRy5/Status}}
somewhere on that page. Go to User:RyRy5/Status and change your status from "undefined" (that's just what I defaulted it to - you won't ever need to change it back to that) to "online", "offline", or "busy". jj137 (talk) 21:58, 5 March 2008 (UTC)- The
[[ ]]
symbols (I can't remember the names of them) provide a link to another page. When you want to transclude a page, use brackets{{ }}
. I fixed it for you on your userpage. :) jj137 (talk) 21:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar
The BoSox Barnstar | ||
For your work in creating and writing four biographies on Boston Red Sox players, I award you the BoSox Barnstar. jj137 (talk) 01:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC) |
- No, thank you. It isn't easy creating and writing articles. jj137 (talk) 01:29, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Secret page
Here's what you can do to create a secret page:
- Create a user subpage with some sort of odd name. (for example, User:RyRy5/Secret page, but you should probably make it a little more creative) On the page, everyone who found it could list their name, and a barnstar they can "give themselves" for finding it. If you need help creating one, just ask.
- Add some sort of very hidden link on your user page to it. Optionally, you could have a fake secret page(s) to trick people looking for it and make it harder to find the real one.
- You're done. jj137 (talk) 13:03, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, got your message on my talk page. Was a pleasure to help out. I love the Sox and like to work on articles for the lesser known past/present or up and coming players. Hardnfast (talk) 11:43, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Red Sox
Thanks for the invite. I don't really follow the Red Sox closely enough to be a regular contributor. I'm more of a historian, adding occasional info about old stuff. Hence my user page icon, "building a bridge to the 19th century". :) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 19:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I will help when I can, just not as a formal member of a project team. I have certain topics that I focus on, but I am not actually a member of any project team. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 19:36, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:New writer
Let's see.
- The main page is at WP:BOSOX/NEWS.
- The newsroom is at WP:BOSOX/NEWSROOM.
- It seems we are just delivering it whenever there is enough content in it. (I have a bot that delivers it when we're ready.)
- You can add new articles you have created to the latest issue.
- We usually have 2 or 3 "articles" in each edition as well as 3 featured articles for the week.
- When writing an article, you can put
{{WP:BOSOX/NEWS/HEAD}}
on top of the subpage followed by the title, "by RyRy5", and the story. If you look at old issues, you will see how we set it up.
I think that's it. jj137 (talk) 03:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it's a good idea to have the whole scouting thing on that page. I'm not trying to be mean, but it also probably isn't a good idea to have the "official head scout" thing as well. I suggest removing the section. jj137 (talk) 03:11, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm... well, do we really even need that section? I think an invite has been given to just about every Sox fan at some point on here, and I don't think scouting is a major deal. jj137 (talk) 03:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- That is perfectly fine. As an answer to your question, well, they may have, but adminship "requirements" (not set in stone, but what people want) have risen over time. Right now, it looks like at the minimum around 4 months of active editing and at least somewhere from 3000-4000 edits. jj137 (talk) 03:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- You can keep scouting as much as you want, I just don't know if the thing on the main page is a good idea. jj137 (talk) 03:51, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Aah, OK then. :-) jj137 (talk) 03:59, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I have an idea about that but I am not particually bothered in getting involved in the program.

Adoption for Nothing444
I am going to need to see your edit count. There is no point of you teaching me if you have less edits than me. Nothing444 19:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hello, not to put you down but, I checked your edits using Kate's Tool. You have only 1061 edits at the time, I have more. I joined wikipedia before you. If anything, I would be adopting you. Give it a little more time with adopting. Back when I was at 500 edits, I was so eager to adopt. But then, I realised that adoptees want experienced adopters. Give it a little more time and effort, and then you can adopt someone. But for now, my only adopter is Milks Favorite Cookie. Nothing444 19:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Secret page.
You have an awful lot of subpages that are "fake" secret pages. Maybe you should only have a few, and hide them better in your text (preferably only use one page to hide the links in, too)? I'd suggest using this code, that makes links black: <font color="Black">Your text here</font> Cheers.· AndonicO Hail! 01:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

- WP:REVERT has alot on this. You can use the "UNDO" button, you can get a revert script such as, Popups or Twinkle. Popups works best on IE while Twinkle works best on Firefox. TW doesn't work on IE at all though. Best of all, WP:RFR will most likely give you admin rollback upon request. Hope this all helps! Burner0718 JibbaJabba! 03:19, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, ask for rollback. They pretty much will give it to anyone with some history (and no edit-warring history). Twinkle is helpful, too, like Burner said. I like its Rollback vandalism feature. Rolls it back and opens the talk page for you. Enigma msg! 03:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Adoption and/or Help
I am fairly new to Wikipedia. I have been on for about a month, but I haven't really learned much about Wikipedia yet. I need some tips on how to do stuff. For example, how do you make a guestbook? How do you make other userpages, how to you add a contents box, how do you use Wiki markup, how do you make and get barnstars, etc. So if you could help me, that would be appreciated. If you answer, answer on my talk page, not yours. Thanks! --Writergirlrocks (talk) 15:55, 18 March 2008 (UTC) Sure, I'd like to be adopted. Here is my first question. How do you create more than one user page? I have lots more, but I'll be patient. --Writergirlrocks (talk) 16:11, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I figured out the contents box, or whatever it is. Okay, this is a weird question. On the Webkinz article, I wanted to write down a list of games. Someone told me I would have to make a page just for games. How would I do that? --Writergirlrocks (talk) 16:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
How do you make a table? --Writergirlrocks (talk) 17:02, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Re: Speedy Deletion Templates
Hi, regarding your recent tagging of articles for speedy deletion, you should note that not being an article is not necessarily a criteria for speedy deletion. When tagging articles, you should base your tags on the criteria for speedy deletion, or, better yet, use one of the pre-formated templates, which are listed at Wikipedia:SPEEDY#Deletion templates. Thank you for your assistance in tagging articles and cheers! Redfarmer (talk) 23:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Adoption
yeah, I'll accept you adoption.

Secret Page
I can't find it. Maybe a little hint?--Chelseaj.86 (talk) 01:32, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong to make the message things messed up? --Chelseaj.86 (talk) 01:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. Again. This website is really hard to get used to.--Chelseaj.86 (talk) 01:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the invite, but I'm limiting myself to WikiProjects for my own teams. I don't think I'll have time to take on more than that. Good luck. Camanda (talk) 03:57, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello. The version you tagged for deletion was vandalism. All good now. Dlohcierekim 04:59, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

scouting business
Just curious what the intent of the scouting is? Are you asking me to invite other folks to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Boston Red Sox project? Hardnfast (talk) 12:28, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I signed on, just point me in the right direction. Hey, I like the new layout of the project page but were are we recording curret Red Sox news? Hardnfast (talk) 13:28, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Baseball
yeah. It's a kewl sport. I see you like the red sox.--Chelseaj.86 (talk) 19:00, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I joined. You may find this helpful; I originally created it for someone else who wanted to create an Angels WikiProject, and you could copy and paste the code to the main page if you want. jj137 (talk) 20:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Nice job! I've been on here for over three months, my "semi-wikibreak" has lowered my edit count though. Who's the other adoptee? Burner0718 JibbaJabba! 03:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

entomology and the law article
Hey -- thanks for the feedback. How do you propose that we change the references -- we just referenced them as specified on the wiki-edit page...do you not like the format because it is redundant?? 165.91.172.150 (talk) 17:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
