User talk:The Nice Hollaback Girl/Archive 1

Well, hello there. I sign on and here you are. Tell you what: If you're sincere, you'll have a lot of support. Don't blow this. Good luck. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 06:15, 14 November 2008 (UTC) thanks i guessThe Nice Hollaback Girl (talk) 06:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I was pretty hard on you, but like I said, if you;re sincere, you'll find yourself welcomed. This is really a rewarding pastime if you want it to be. I left word with the administrators to let them know what was up.

So, with no further ado:

Welcome!

Hello, The Nice Hollaback Girl, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Again, welcome! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 06:20, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice catch on that attack page. Actually, the entire page was vandalism and I tagged it as such. Pretty bad attack, too. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 06:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, the admins are aware of the situation. Under policy, you should be blocked either as a returning vandal or a copycat using the "Hollaback Girl" name. Just be aware of the fact that if you vandalize anything, all bets are off. You'll likely be banned from the site, which means there is almost no way of reestablishing your rights. I, a total stranger, have gone out on a limb for you. Please don't let me down. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 06:44, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks thats a nice thing to do The Nice Hollaback Girl (talk) 06:47, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome once more. I should let you know that I'm getting some gentle ribbing over this. :) Since I do a lot of patrolling for vandalism, my talk page is locked out to new accounts. It was getting hammered by vandals. So, please leave word here if you have any questions. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 06:52, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

um i don't know how to explain this properly but i am using a recent changes filter and sometimes there are more than 1 vandalisms and when i try and undo the second one it says there has been an edit conflict or something.The Nice Hollaback Girl (talk) 06:55, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You'll sometimes get an edit conflict if you hit the "save page" button twice. You're conflicting with your own edit when that happens. When you're starting out, I'd suggest staying away from patrolling for vandals. Instead, find an article on a subject which interests you and dig in. Clean up grammar, add some facts and citations, fix the overall layout, etc. Or, maybe take a look at the requested articles list here and write a new article. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 06:59, 14 November 2008 (UTC) OK thanksThe Nice Hollaback Girl (talk) 07:01, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck!

Hey, good luck making a turn around!

If you would like help, just let me know.

After I graduate from my adoption, I might consider adopting you (if you would like that).

Best of luck to you, and thanks for choosing Wikipedia Airlines! Jock Boy (t/c) Sign 05:00, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since you wanted help with signatures, I guess ill try. Every sig has a source. Clows sig is ♣Princess Clown♥ ". If you edit this page, youll see her source. To make youres, just change the colors, and replace her name with yours. So it would look like this.

♣><font color="lime" face="mika" size="2"Hollaback Girl!♥.

And you can chnage the colors too...

♣Hollaback Girl!♥

and the size..

♣Hollaback Girl!♥

Or the font, etc.

♣Hollaback Girl!♥

Youre welcome! ^^ G ! B B i 3 ^{I4m 733t0rz} 23:26, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello...

Hello 'The Nice Hollaback Girl', how are you? I'm writing you this in regards to the recent edits I made on the gwen stefani song articles. The edits made yesterday were in fact not physically by me, but by my sister who got onto my wikipedia account after I failed to log off yesterday. I (the REAL Percxyz) did not make those edits, nor would I have requested speedy deletion on all 4 articles at once (I would have discussed the issue first hand with you first before doing so, which is common sense after all, lol!) I'm just letting you know this so that you don't think that I (the REAL Percxyz) did that (and to let you know that I'm totally not out to get you!!!) and I don't want you to feel like I am. :-( Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you, and I'll make sure my sister gets her own account instead of using mine, lol! :-) (By the way, ironically enough I'm also a big gwen stefani fan myself!)

~~== Reply ==~~

Sure id be happy to adopt you, just one thing, theres a chance of me leaving wikipedia very soon or going on a long wikibreak, or maybe not. Idk atm. And no, i never blocked you. Im just a 13 year old boy who fights vandals and stuff. Editing wiki is kinda a habit for me. So yeah. Im not an administrator though. So since you want to be adopted here, you go.

Just put that on ur userpage I guess. Also, im pretty sure we never met. So yeah. And one more thing, just remember to always put the 4 ~, every time you post something. Thanks. And ill make a page for us, so we wont get lost. G ! B B i 3 ^{I4m 733t0rz} 22:43, 18 November 2008 (UTC) [reply]

~~Wait wait lol. Would you like to design youre userpage, talk page, etc. Or want a nav bar? G ! B B i 3 ^{I4m 733t0rz} 22:47, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]~~
~~And about your sig, just follow the instructions below to make sure you wont forget.~~
Just click this. Once you do that, try that on ur browser. Then see this. Try that on ur browser too. Then replace the source in the signature with the source of: ♣Hollaback Girl!♥ . Which can be found by editing this page. Then copy that source, and paste it to the "signature" line. And scrol ldown and save. And youre done. Just make sure to press the 4 "~" when posting.

About your adoption, it might seem weird, but you dont have to get adopted by me. I dont mind. And im not a republican, Im a democrat, and id still go with Mc Cain if I got to vote. So yeah. I really didnt think age would matter here during adoption, i thoguht it would be experienced, but ive seen others have asked if they could adopt you... So, you dont have to get adopted by me, Up to you I guess. Cheers. M.H.^{ITrue Romace iS Dead} 22:48, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Youre adopted by him I guess, im going on semi retirement now, due to real life issues, so I doubt ill be that much active here. Ill come around i guess. Take care. And this is yours now.

Your sig

Hi! Your signature seems broken. Feel like reverting to the default until I can figure out where it is getting caught? Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :)} 07:52, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, Alrdy taken care of. M.H.^{ITrue Romace iS Dead} 22:45, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Her sig isnt broken, she didnt check the "raw signature" thing. You should check that, and test it, and it should work. M.H.^{ITrue Romace iS Dead} 22:45, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Barnstar

Gee, thanks... And if you need some help, just ask me, OK? God Bless and have a nice day, homie... Blake Gripling (talk) 11:12, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise. Thank you very much not only for the gesture but for the effort and diligence you've shown in such a short time. I can't tell you how happy I am to see the turnaround you've made and if you need any assistance in editing whatsoever, you just drop me a line. Oh, and there's a little something special on your user page. I don't give these things out as often as I should, but if anyone deserves an attaboy, you're the guy. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:17, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. No prob. All you do is copy the URL of the website page you are using (make sure to highlight and copy it, rather than type it, because you need to include the http://). After that, go to the place in the article where you want to place the footnote in the article. Paste the URL in there, then place two ref html tags around it. Here is an example: If I wanted to cite http://google.com/Special/Extraspecial.html, this is what I would do: ^[1] Here's how it would look in the article: Google has a special page[1], named Special.

One other thing...

If you want it to show up at the bottom in the references section and there is none, simply type ==References== and then include the text

^ http://google.com/Special/Extraspecial.html

below it, like this: ==References==

And there you go! Jock Boy (t/c) Sign 06:27, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Wait...

Would you like co-adoption? We could both adopt you at the same time. I've even got a program (class) and everything. Jock Boy (t/c) Sign 06:44, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

		The Best Barnstar Ever!
For youre kindness and patience. This is yours. And all the other stuff. xD M.H.^{ITrue Romace iS Dead} 23:26, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, let's get started...

Hi there Nice Hollaback Girl! (Let me know if you want me to call you something else)

I saw your note on my user page, so I figured we could get started. Also, Muslim Hybrid told me on my page that he was semi-retiring, so he isn't going to be unavailable.

First things first, in order to look "professional", (I know, it's stupid) I would encourage you to remove the DO NOT BLOCK ME I WANT TO START ANEW from the top of you talk page and user page, since you've long since shown that you have made a comeback and some people don't remember you under your old name.

Did you see Muslim Hybrid's signature suggestion? If you didn't, all you have to do is copy it again, then before you save, check the box below the signature formatting line that says "Raw Signature".

The first lesson in my adoption program is here. To answer the questions, simply go here and create a new section in that page and answer the questions under that section. The central adoption page is User:Jock Boy/Classroom, and if you need a link to your personal page, I have one for each of my adoptees there. Some of the lessons are long, but if you go through and are able to answer well, you'll do even better than you are now.

To give you good news, you are a very friendly user, and that will definitely help you out, I guarantee it. Keep up the good work!

(Make sure you let me know when you have your answers)

Good luck, and happy editing! Jock Boy (t/c) Sign 23:31, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your questions...

Hi there! Okay, I understand that you don't really know what to write about, and that's fine. Just go ahead and make up something, but try to make it sound encyclopedic. If you need an idea, write a brief article about a fictional medicine or something (make sure not to REALLY create it, just create a new section under your User adoption subpage in my classroom).

To answer you second question, if a vandal makes more than one vandalism edit... for now, just let me know and I'll do it for you if no one else does before me, because it's kind of complicated. If you really want to know, you could read this lesson, but you don't have to do the assignment yet.

And lastly, your question about pages being neat... it takes a lot of code, a lot of time, and a lot of practice, OR you can do what I did and copy the code from another user's page and then change links to link to your page and change colors to your likings and whatnot. If you would like, I would be willing to create a userspace for you, but you would have to tell me your color choice and especially what information you wanted on your main userpage, but I would encourage not giving away any personal information.

Again, about the lesson, just give it your best shot, and even if you do terrible, so what? It's not like it hurts anything or that you can't pass the course, it's just to help you. Don't get too worried or put too much time into it.

Good luck and happy editing! Jock Boy (t/c) Sign 23:55, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also bud, I think it's about time to archive your talk page. I like to archive mine every month and keep it down to about 15 threads or less. Just my opinion. To do that, simply cut this page, save it, and paste it into a page called User talk:The Nice Hollaback Girl/Archive 1. Then you can clean up this page a bit. Jock Boy (t/c) Sign 03:44, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I graded you...

I have graded your Lesson 1 article. I will try t leave you some comments on it as soon as possible, but I've been a bit busy, so it might take awhile. You can see your grade on the same page you wrote the article. Feel free to start on Lesson 2 below if you feel like it, but I haven't yet had the time to do Lesson 3, so you cant quite do that yet. Just to let you know, you did a great job. Jock Boy (t/c) Sign 20:50, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
