[edit] Rubbish Blaahdy Blah Stuff. Jake95 18:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC) (Sorry Islay, I know you're just doing your job.)

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Colchester Bus Station, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Colchester Bus Station. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] AfD Nomination: Colchester Bus Station

I've nominated the article Colchester Bus Station for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Colchester Bus Station satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colchester Bus Station. Don't forget to add four tildes (Jake95 22:57, 26 December 2006 (UTC)) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Colchester Bus Station during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. -- IslaySolomon | talk 03:47, 23 November 2006 (UTC) Oh well. Ne-e-e-ver mind. Jake95 16:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help!

On my userbox there is a blank link for a template which I HAVE MADE!! And am looking at it (another window) right now!! Why won't it show on my page or if I click the link it says it doesn't exist??????!!!!! AAAGGHHH!! Jake95 18:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

You made a typo. You named the template as "User cgrs" but put it as "User crgs" on your user page. I've corrected the typo on your user page. Metros232 19:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou! Me = thick. Jake95 19:19, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption

Hello, Jake95! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. I accept your request, being an experienced editor myself. Whether you want to learn about wiki markup, find something to do, or just talk to somebody, I'm the one you can talk to - just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck with Wikipedia!--Anthony.bradbury 23:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I have not removed the adopt-userbox from your userpage, as I dislike tampering at all with userpages; but you may wish to do so.

[edit] Userbox query

Have you tried Wikipedia talk:Userboxes/Ideas? Probably the best place. Just creating random userboxes, however much you like them, is frowned upon.--Anthony.bradbury 21:30, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

It is, of course, also true that there is more to Life, the Universe and Everything than userboxes. --Anthony.bradbury 18:46, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello!

hi jake! just wondering how you found my sandbox? i wiped the link from my page - is there a link to it from somewhere else? cool edit though, thanks! Think outside the box 09:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

there was a link to it from somewhere else ... and I don't remember what edit it was... Jake95 16:48, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Humbles?

Can you please explain why your user page redirects to User:Humbles? There is no such user. What you have done is created a user page in the article name space. If you want to change your username to Humbles, please see Wikipedia:Changing username. Metros232 19:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah. About that. I've probably done what you said. I would have had my talk as Humbles as well but once I forgot to change my signature and someone left me a message here. So ... I made a user page for it redirecting to User:Humbles, and User_talk:Humbles redirecting here. Sorry if thats a big rar rar horrid thing or anything. I can move everything to User:Jake95 if you want. Sorry. (Mousey.) Jake95 19:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

PS Humbles = My surname.

Yes, please do. What you've done is created a user page without actually having a user to back it up. You'd have to actually register the user name in order to be able to put a legitamate user page there. Metros232 19:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, agree with Metros232 - you need to copy the information back over to Jake95, or sign up an account Humbles and use that instead. Lethaniol]] 21:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I will. Sorry. Just wait, please, until I have as many userboxes as I can be bothered to find. Jake95 21:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Well you do realize that A. userboxes aren't that substantial to building an encyclopedia and B. that you could just as easily move that to Jake95 now and continue the work on User:Jake95, right? Metros232 21:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

It's gone. Happy now?? Jake95 21:32, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey its not about being happy - its about stopping any confusion. If you want the Humbles account create it. But just imagine you were a new user who joins as Humbles - imagine their confusion and the frustration to yourself when you have to move. If you want a signature that says Humbles then see Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages#Customizing your signature- hope that helps :):) Lethaniol 21:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, never mind.

[edit] Adoption

Hi Jake; you don't seem to need my help, so unless you comment in the next two or three days I will remove your adoption template. Happy wikying.--Anthony.bradbury 22:44, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Jake95 13:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Jake95/Oliver95

Can you please explain what is the significance and purpose of User:Jake95/Oliver95? Metros232 22:04, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

If you just took the courtesy of reading it, you would find out. Delete it if you want. Jake95 12:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I did read it and was curious if you would explain it better. It appears to be a subpage you created to encourage a friend of yours to join Wikipedia, yes? Metros232 14:23, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Yup. I will direct him to it when I next see him. Jake95 20:17, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

He's not interested in joining Wikipedia (!!??!!??!?). Will delete. Jake95 (talk!) 17:15, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

He's changed his mind - he's a user now, namely User:Lio.c87. Jake95(talk!) 19:14, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
