{{helpme}}

Believe it or not I've read over m:Help:ParserFunctions a few times. Sorry for causing you trouble. Question though, the red text that's there now looks a bit...gaudy/tacky (can't find right word). Is there a way to make it so that doesn't appear. In it's current state it looks like it has an error, even though it doesn't. Also please note This from last year. Sorry again. §hep¡Talk to me! 07:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I know the warning is a little tacky, I will refine it today. As for it being already there, I asked like 3 administrators on #wikipedia-en IRC channel, and they didn't have any complaints. It simply caused too much confusion on the help channel, as the bot reports any page in the category. And, obviously, the message built into the template hasn't done too much to help the situation. --FastLizard4 (TalkIndexSign) 20:31, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. §hep¡Talk to me! 21:17, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Accountcreator

Hi there, I have noticed that you do account creation work, I was wondering if you would be interested in have the new user-rights: "Accountcreator". For more specific info, you can look here: [1]. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 02:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

It looks like it's already in place. If it isn't, let me know and I will comment. If it is in fact in place, I can haz plz? :D --FastLizard4 (TalkIndexSign) 02:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
[2]. You now have accountcreator! All it allows you to do is create more than 6 accounts during a certain time period, it is just there to stop trolls (which you are not). Cheers, Tiptoety talk 02:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Revert Bot

I just went over this with another user, why did you revert the delete to the talk page for List of songs with city names in the title? It was irrelevant to the article. See my talk page for the last guy who tried it. GeoffEighinger (talk) 00:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Your edit was a violation of applicable Wikipedia policies for the following reasons:
  1. You cannot delete pages, you are not an administrator. You simply blanked the page.
  2. Talk pages - unless obvious disruption - are never deleted without a very good reason.
  3. Contradictory to your claim here, the post does in fact pertain to its article; you list a reason why it should be kept.
Please review applicable Wikipedia policies, especially the onces listed in the welcome template below. Thanks, --FastLizard4 (TalkIndexSign) 00:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:ACC

Hi,
I was approved for Account Creation privledges yesterday, and I just got an email saying that there is one that someone wants made. However, I cannot log into the tool. It says my username or password is incorrect. Can you help me?
L'Aquatique[talk] 00:04, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

According to my readout, your account is active with the username L'Aquatique. If you don't remember your password, try clicking here to see the forgotten password interface. If there is a problem with your username, let me know and I can suspend your current one and approve a "new" one. --FastLizard4 (TalkIndexSign) 01:34, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, I tried to reset my password, but when I click the link in the e-mail I get the message "ERROR Invalid request." L'Aquatique[talk] 03:01, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
I believe this may be because of the ' in your username. I will attempt to contact the developer. In the meantime, you will not be able to use ACC. I will alert you to any developments. --FastLizard4 (TalkIndexSign) 03:13, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Should I just create a new account using LAquatique that you then approve and then you can unapprove the old one? L'Aquatique[talk] 03:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Developer here... Yeah, due to the way usernames/passwords are stored, usernames with special characters. I'll make it so those are rejected, sorry about that, while I'd taken it into consideration with account creation, I had not with local users. You'll want to register "LAquatique" and use that instead (I've already deleted your other account, sorry! :( ) SQLQuery me! 04:01, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I created the new account under LAquatique. Thanks for your time... L'Aquatique[talk] 04:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Status Bot?

Hey FastLizard, no hurry, but what's with that "status bot says your offline" thing? Gnorthup (talk) 08:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

What about it? --FastLizard4 (TalkIndexSign) 01:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, really,

  1. How can I get one of those, and
  2. Why do you need it?

Gnorthup (talk) 04:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

For instructions on how to get it, you could either click the link in the box, or go to User:Chris G Bot 3. Why would someone need it? It's good to see if someone is online or not, and allows people to see if you are available for collaboration (you will know why this is good when you visit the description page). --FastLizard4 (TalkIndexSign) 07:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

You might want to update Image:ACC Interface.PNG to reflect the new interface (I'll upload a screenshot myself instead if I get the chance). Cheers, paranomiahappy harry's high club 15:15, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I need graphics editing help

I noticed you are listed to help people in designing their user pages.

Well, I need help with a similar type of thing - graphics editing.

I'm preparing to coordinate this:

and for it I'm developing some awards. Each award will include an image, and that's where I need help...

I've got to have all the awards done by July 15th, and I don't even have the first one finished yet.

I'm looking for someone who knows how (or is interested in jumping in and learning how) to work on images in xcf format using GIMP, or Inkscape, etc. (Because I and others will need to be able to edit each image's layers after you are done with it).

If this sounds like something you are interested in helping with, please drop me a note.

By the way, both GIMP and Inkscape are free, making it easy to get started from scratch.

I look forward to your reply.

The Transhumanist 12:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, graphics design (in terms of images) is not very good, and I can scrape by doing very simply things. I probably will not be of too much assistance. Thanks for you offer, though. --FastLizard4 (TalkIndexSign) 02:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome Template addition

May I suggest adding User:WilliamH's welcome message to the accountcreator tool? The message can be found here User:WilliamH/Welcome transclusion template. {{subst:User:WilliamH/Welcome|YourUserName}} ~~~~. Mentioned at here . I liked it and wanted to ask it be added.
