[edit] RC patrol
Hi, Ellie041505,
Thanks for filling me in on my impostor. It's actually not the first time, either (I guess I should feel flattered).
We'd love to have you on RC patrol, and if you ever need help with vandal control, feel free to message me. Probably the best explanation for RC patrol can be found at Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol. That page also has a list of tools you can use to make patrolling less difficult. Tools like VandalProof have some requirements (mainly an edit count of around 250 or more), so if you haven't met that quota, there's always things like the Javascript popups addon, which I myself used for quite a while before switching to out-of-browser tools.
I hope that link will be useful for you -- I figured it would be better to direct you to that than attempt a full explanation myself. Again, if you need any more help, feel free to let me know. Thanks for the interest. (Sorry if this message sounded like an advertisement, by the way -- I'm not actually affiliated with any "official" counter-vandalism program, nor am I aware of such a thing.) -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 19:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Edit count
Hi, Ellie041505. At the moment you have 104 edits. You can avoid counting them individually by setting the number of edits displayed on the page. Then, count how many pages of edits you go through. You could set it to 25 and go through 4 pages full of edits and then one page with 4 edits (your current edit count makes using 100 a good choice, too). If you set the number too high (like 80, which can be done by typing it in the url), you'll have to count more remainder edits. You could also try to set the number of edits shown on the page as close as possible to the number of edits you have (by estimating it going through 50 or 100 at a time) so that the remainder would be smaller. To get the url, press 20 and then remove "20" from the url and replace it with the number of edits you want shown. I count the number of pages that I go through and then copy and paste the remainder into Microsoft Word. Then I replace all of the asterisks (they show up when you paste it) with nothing and Word tells me how many asterisks it replaced. Word cannot handle some characters, so you cannot always copy and paste the edits all at once. There used to be a tool for counting edits, but it has not worked in a long time. The person who created it did not like the focus on how many edits people have. Talk to you later, Kjkolb 16:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Or you could just look at your edit count. — Frecklefoot | Talk 17:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

- Damn, no one told me they had a new tool. Thanks, Frecklefoot. -- Kjkolb 19:11, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikistress indicator
Good day. If you'd like your own wikistress indicator, try adding {{wstress3d|#}} to your userpage, but replace the "#" with a number between one and five to indicate your stress level. --Takeel 22:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your comment in the Village Pump
I only can answer to one question: if I understood it well, you want to know how to make this:
Do you know some HTML and CSS? If you know, it will help a lot. the code is:
<div style='background:#ffffff; border:solid 1px #a0a0a0; width:100%; height:2em'>any text</div>
Green text can be replaced. If you don't know CSS or HTML:
- Text inside, between > and <. For example:
<div style='background:#ffffff; border:solid 1px #a0a0a0; width:100%; height:2em'>heeo</div>
- will give:
- #ffffff, #a0a0a0... are color codes, with a # symbol, and three numbers in hexadecimal representing intensity of red, green and blue (maximum ff → 255; minimum 00 → 0). Sometimes you can also write the color name without # (red, blue, nothing more)
- Measurements can be written in pixels (Xpx), "letter height" (Xem), or percentage of page measurements. In this case, 100% in width simbolizes this space:
- codes in
style=can be left out and added. See http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp. - " can be used instead of '
Sorry for boring. You can also pick any sandbox template, edit it, copy-paste and do experiments. :)

[edit] Regarding village pump
Hi there.. I was partly responsible for all those edit conflicts.. Sorry about the wikistress:(. Your name change request should be taken care of soon though -- Lost(talk) 13:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Username change
As you requested, your username has now been changed from Ellie041505 to Eilicea. If you haven't done it already, please remember to move your user page and your talk page using the "move" tab on the upper right-hand side of your screen. Redux 14:31, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- Congratulations. Hope this has a positive effect on the wikistress -- Lost(talk) 15:08, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

- You are welcome :). Enjoy your new username! Cheers, Redux 16:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More boxes
{{Userbox // Don't write this comments!
|border-width=2 // Always in px
|border-color=#555555 // obvious
|id=test // content of header (square)
|id-c=green // color of header
|id-fc=white // color of header content
|info=what do you think? // small text
|info-size=7 // size of small text: better don't specify
|info-fc=red // text color
|info-c=blue // userbox color
}}
| test | what do you think? |
That?
—Nethac DIU, always would speak here—

If not, you could try to make a template in your user pagespace. In User:Eilicea/Box, for example, you could write:
<div style='background:#ffffff; border:solid 1px #a0a0a0; width:100%'>{{{1}}}</div> (do not add height parameter. I did that when writing this comment. My error)
And writing {{User:Eilicea/Box|text to inbox}} you would get the text in a box.
[edit] Your edit to the village pump
I removed it as it was a bit mean. Many people on the denders of publicgirkuk side of the debate are feeling hard done by. I cannot see how being cruel could possibly help cool things. If you readd it I will not remove it again but I urge you to think carefully. Being nice is always the best way to behave. (I know I'm not always as nice as I should be, I hope when I'm too nasty people pick me up on it in the way I'm doing to you right now) Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 15:09, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Image:Now that's a great pair of tits.jpg click on this link and don't be so bloody rude. I am perfectly entitled to have a joke with my fellow wikipedians without having to suffer personal attacks from people like you. Feel stupid? Down worry, you're just a kid. But please, lay off the personal attacks. They make you look bad. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 16:04, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, Eilicea, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
- Yes, very much welcome! —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-¢|ε|Ŀ|T|♪-) 15:52, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I'm still waiting
I'm still pretty peeved about your uncalled for comments and personal attack on my talk page here. I don't see how me asking you not to be nasty to other people justifies you being completely rude to me, and I am hoping that you will do the mature thing and apologise. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 16:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Coke
Well, as the editor who's done the most work on that page, I guess I shall have to shelve whatever I was planning to do (not much at the moment, actually) and work on the prose yet again.
That criticism has been voiced before, at least since I took it upon myself to improve that page in the middle of last summer. It's been through a lot since then, most recently]].
While keeping in mind that you can't spell history without story, I'll assume the usual good faith and ask you for some specifics on where and how it (I assume you're talking about the history section, which I did a lot of research for earlier this year which led to the references section being what it is now) can be improved. I can see a few places where some dramatic flourishes could be toned down, but I'd like to see your input as well.
And as much as I wish I didn't have to do it, I will because when Bwithh made the original GA nom, I told him when I thanked him that I see FA potential here (if I can get some more research done and some more images that I think it could use, especially now that the Goizueta one got pulled for not being fair use), and it would help whenever that case gets made for it to be a GA.

[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 12:02, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Dropping by to say hallo. :) --Stercus.caput 03:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikibreak
I hope you have a nice Wikibreak, Eliciea, and that you manage to find some time to come back! It doesn't matter if you haven't been here all that long, your contributions are surely appreciated, and we'll be glad when you get the chance to come back. -- Natalya 15:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Glad to see that you're back! You can read the rather massive MfD debate if you'd like all the details - although technically one person put up the nomination, there were many people thinking along the same lines, so it wasn't really an individual effort or anything. -- Natalya 19:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
