Rename

I've changed your name, as you asked. I hope you enjoy your new name! ☺ Coppertwig 23:31, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Now to make a new sig..... StaticRic _{Review ME!} My mess.^{My colorful Main Pages} 23:32, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

StaticChristian? Is that your name, or are you a Christian? I like the rename, by the way. God bless, American Eagle (talk) 23:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm a Christian. StaticRic _{Review ME!} My mess.^{My colorful Main Pages} 23:36, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh cool, we have something in common, then. God bless, American Eagle (talk) 23:55, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

yep. ✞Static Christian✞ 00:06, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

New messages bar

Please change it to at least say something else. It is very confusing to have a new message bar on the top of the page when it is fake. – RyanCross (talk) 00:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes please. It was funny at first, but as an inactive member of the project who hasn't got much time to spare, it's quite irritating to find no messages at all! Maybe change the colour or something? Best, PeterSymonds 01:00, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

FYI. – RyanCross (talk) 00:58, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Also, your signature is extremely long. Please shorten it by a lot. – RyanCross (talk) 01:03, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Shapiros10 01:06, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Replies: New messages: there is no reason to, no policy, and the links are to his special pages. I don't see the problem, you don't have to go to his user page. FYI (removal of comments): he removed his own vote, and the only reason the other messages were there was because of his vote. But yes, you shouldn't be removing others comments, just your own. Signature: yes, it is too long. I like it, but it is too long (like 500+ characters, that's too much). God bless, American Eagle (talk) 01:10, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

it puts a strain on the servers, according to PeterSymonds. Shapiros10 01:15, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

That, and also the MediaWiki interface is generally not to be used on userpages except for testing. See the user page guideline on enwiki, and also this discussion. I completely understand that cross-wiki guidelines differ, but there are a number of reasons why simulating MediaWiki is not a good idea. Best, PeterSymonds 01:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I didn't know it was a big problem. ✞Static Christian✞ 07:36, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Please shorten your signature

I've already said to you above, but you didn't listen, so I'll say it again. Your signature is extremely long. Please shorten it. You should have it as much Special:Preferences allows (maximum), even if you are using a template. Thanks, – RyanCross (talk) 23:57, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

You could use User:StaticChristian/sig2, if you want. God bless, American Eagle (talk) 00:10, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations! You have been given a barnstar!

☺

Congratulations: You have been given a Barnsmiley!.. For making my signature change colour and size all by itself! It was smart of you to do that in what has been called a "write-only" computer language, and it was nice of you to do it for me. Thanks! ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 13:21, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

THANKS! ✞Static Christian✞ 13:23, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

But... but... but... *sulks as he notices that it was stolen from Gwib who stole it from him* Microchip08 13:31, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Gwib got it from Tholly not you. ✞Static Christian✞ 13:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

compare this. Microchip08 13:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, you'll have to ask an SEWP admin, 'cos I deleted it -.- Microchip08 13:38, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

SwirlBoy?

Sorry, I do not wish to answer at this time. SwirlBoy39 16:01, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Because I don't :) SwirlBoy39 16:02, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Closed RfA

I closed your RfA as "not promoting". Good luck next time. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 16:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Eh, I think I might do better next time. ✞Static Christian✞ 16:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Link to RfB

You said this was "not really needed". [1]. Please tell me how I can quickly and easily find the page history of the RfB every time I need to. Thanks. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 16:50, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I've fixed it so it looks nicer, Coppertwig. Microchip08 16:51, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

He did. ✞Static Christian✞ 16:51, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Static, could you sort out your sig? It's massive in the edit window, and makes it harder for me to reread you comments in the EW. Microchip08 16:52, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Will do. ☺ ✞Static Christian✞ 16:53, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Maybe I'm an idiot (don't say it, though!) but all I see is a link from the RfB to the RfB, and a link from a page to itself does nothing (looks black). I still don't see how I'm supposed to easily find the RfB (i.e. page history of RfB etc.) Microchip08, maybe you clicked "change" on the Wikiquote:Requests for adminship page, but some of those "change" buttons change other pages instead. (I don't completely understand how that works.) ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 16:58, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

/me thinks Coppertwig is an idiot. ✞StaticChristian✞ 17:01, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I heard that! ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 17:02, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Without the smiley. ✞StaticChristian✞ 16:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Microchip08 16:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

No prob. ✞StaticChristian✞ 16:57, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

User pages

Please understand that some users want to delete some of your user pages. For now at least, please don't create more pages like that. Maybe we need a discussion first. Usually, pages should be for helping Wikiquote, not just for fun. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 21:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Really? But why? ✞StaticChristian✞ 21:34, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Fixed link! Microchip08 21:47, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry but my mom says I can't go on IRC or I'll be grounded. ✞StaticChristian✞ 21:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

MSN, Googlechat, Yahoo? Bittlebee? Anything like that? Microchip08 21:50, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I have a msn e-mail but no chatting or I'll be grounded. ✞StaticChristian✞ 21:52, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh, OK then. Sorry for pushing it onto you. Would you like to rethink the proposal I sent you by email? Microchip08 21:53, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Which one? ✞StaticChristian✞ 21:54, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

The reason for having these projects is to write pages like the quote pages on this project, and article pages on Wikipedia. We hope it's fun and makes us feel good to help. But if a whole user page is just for fun, not for helping to make quote pages, it takes time from other users. It takes up space on New changes. People have to look to make sure it isn't vandalism or saying bad things about other users. That takes time. So it takes time away from writing quotes. That's why people don't want pages like that. There are other websites that are just for fun. If you want to just do fun things, you can go to those other websites. If you want to help write quote pages and do things that help (like fixing templates, or telling us what to write in the Mediawiki pages), then it's good to be here. I think that if people are helping the project a lot, then it's OK to have a small number of messages that are just for fun, too. Thanks again for the idea you had and the work you did for my signature. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 21:58, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

OK. I am trying my best for Simple English Wikiquote! ✞StaticChristian✞ 21:59, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the shameless advertising, but if you like I could set up a wiki for you to have as your own to make games like that on. Microchip08 22:01, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Ok then. ✞StaticChristian✞ 22:02, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Great! Just create an account at this site and I'll set everything up for you. Microchip08 22:04, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Will do. ✞StaticChristian✞ 22:05, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Done I am Static there. ✞StaticChristian✞ 22:06, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

OK, login to static.yourwiki.net and sign in. Do what you like with the wiki, it's all yours now! 86.140.65.239 22:14, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Well done!

Thanks for translating!!! Well, when I saw this, for a second I thought you were vandalising: "{{simple|At last, a encyclopedia made by idiots!}}" ☺Coppertwig(talk) 22:13, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

That was the best translation I could think of. ✞StaticChristian✞ 22:14, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

It's a good translation! It's just that when I saw it, I hadn't read the quote you were translating, so I thought you were just writing that for fun or something. Just for a second I thought that. But then I remembered that you would never do something like that. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 22:19, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

HaHaHa. Join my wiki. ✞StaticChristian✞ 22:20, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
