Hey Daniel

Thanks for the info i just had a couple of questions about wikipedia.

1. How do you put a contents box in an article?
2. How do you aquire user box thing eg. your soccer box?
3. Can HTML be embedded into a user page? and
4. Why are you so cool LOL

Thanks --Abb401 08:16, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

In response:

1. It will be placed automatically if there is enough sections to warrant it. If there is less than three, it does not appear, because of logistical reasons. WP:TOC has more.

2. See WP:BOX for more details. It's very easy :D

3. Yes, apparently. Not 100% sure, but some of my colleagues are, so I'll take their word for it.

4. Thanks!

Hi. Maybe you can assist me. I typed in the biography on my father John McHale. Then I tried to type in a separate biography for Frank Cordell and lost all the Cordell copy on the Wiki edit function. Can you retrieve it from your wiki desk?

All the best, John McHale — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottex (talk • contribs)

Unfortunately, no, it can't be recovered, and even if it was, I doubt the article would have been allowed to remain. Please read WP:BIO and WP:LIVING for more details on what articles will be accepted on Misplaced Pages. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 07:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

new user

would it be possible for u to find a place in ur heart to form a user page similar to jimothy trotter's but in an orange theme

thnx — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bottombadger (talk • contribs)

Firstly, you need to have content on your page, as I can't simply make an empty page. Also, orange is already taken (see User:Dean randall), so I'd prefer it be a different colour. However, I'm also going to have to refuse until you make some contributions to articles on Misplaced Pages, as I am against the use of Misplaced Pages purely as a means of conversation, and I can't be sure that you won't do this until you have made decent contributions to Misplaced Pages.

User:Ryanlong and friends

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your recent contributions to the checkuser request for Ryanlong. This guy was an obvious sockpuppet account of User:Frys104; in fact, one of his contributions was this edit, made before he was blocked, but just a few minutes after user:Frys104 had just been blocked. The user accounts in question were reported months ago (by me), but it took a long while to get administrator attention. Frys104 was blocked indefinitely, but by the time I myself had become an administrator, the accounts had been inactive for months. At the time, I didn't think there was any use blocking them, since they were inactive, but I saw Ryanlong was active again yesterday. Thanks for your quick action on this user. User:Demi blocked the Ryanlong account yesterday, and I blocked user:Pjh1810 today, even though there is still no sign of life on that account. As Frys104 and user:Worstnightmare were blocked months back, it appears all known sock accounts are blocked. Just wanted to thank you for your dilligence concerning these accounts. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 01:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

No problems. Thanks for blocking the socks. Daniel.Bryant 06:32, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Help

Hey Dan, when I typed in Alphabet Spaghetti into Misplaced Pages and it came up with no results - I was pysically sick. Please help me make Alphabets (pasta) a great article. I need your help! Thanks, Dfrg.msc 06:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Made some edits to wikify it. I'd be happy to help. Daniel.Bryant 06:43, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou Daniel. And thankyou for the Star, I do appreciate it. I meant everthing I said, you would make a fine administrator, and I would be happy to support you. You amaze me with your kindness and your attitude to Misplaced Pages and other editors. Anytime my friend, Dfrg.msc 10:20, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

No problems, and thanks! Daniel.Bryant
