I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Ask a question.
Rename of Article 'One Ring'
editI am planning on changing the name of 'One Ring' to 'The Ring of Power
- "Ring of Power" redirects to Power ring, a disambiguation page. The title is fine. Uthanc (talk) 21:05, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
CHU
edit- We have questions about your rename. Please go to WP:CHU and answer them. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:19, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Bots
edit{{helpme}}
How can i operate a bot?
- It's not easy. First, you have to know a thing or two about programming, and you have to go to bot approval group. User:Soxred93 has a ton of bots, I'm sure he can help you. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 19:39, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
{{helpme}} I know a lot of programming, XHTML, HTML, XML, C, C+, and C++. could someone teach me how to make a bot?
- Wikipedia:Creating a bot is a good place to learn about how to develop a bot on Wikipedia. If you have any more questions, please let me know. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 17:28, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits
editHi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 18:59, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that you created an RfA for yourself. Since you have less than 100 edits, it is very unlikely that it will succeed. (Most users need at least 4500 edits before an RfA). You could still transclude it onto WP:RFA if you want, but I would suggest that you add {{db-author}} to it to get it deleted and make another request in a few months when you have more experience.

- Yes, find some stub articles that you are interested in and make improvements to them. You should also create more pages to show that you are familiar with Wikipedia policies. Another thing that users look for during RfAs is the use of edit summaries. Please try to use them more often. If you need any help, you can ask me on my talk page. Thanks. SUL 22:36, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- An edit summary is what you type in the box above the "Save page" button. You should type a summary of the changes that you have made under where it says "Edit summary (Briefly describe the changes you have made)". SUL 22:39, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, go to Category:Stub categories and find a category of stubs that you are interested in. SUL 11:42, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Programming
edit{{helpme}} Is there anything on wikipedia that requires someone to help with HTML or XHTML. Even just putting it into sites on the programming language to make it more helpful if you're trying to learn the language.
- Hiya. I'm not quite sure what you are asking... of course, you could help to improve HTML or any of the other articles. Make sure you reference the facts to reliable sources.
- If you want to help in other ways, and you're knowledgable about HTML, I expect you'd soon pick up the wiki syntax used by templates - and we always need people to help with that.
- Prob the best thing, overall, is to come and talk to me for a bit with this.
- Cheers, Chzz ► 22:54, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
HTML
editI'm planning on making a tutorial on HTML on wikipedia, does anybody have an issue with this?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Normiad (talk • contribs)
- Please read WP:NOTGUIDE. Tutorials should be made on a different wiki, such as Wikibooks. SUL 12:42, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Spotlight
editHi there. Hopefully you'll remember me, from my trying to help you; well, now it's my turn to ask for help.
I'm trying to help re-launch an idea called "Spotlight". The notion is to select an article and work on it collectively, via live discussion, for one week. If lots of people get involved, it can work really well; in the past, the project died off through lack of participants. Anyone can help out, because that's the whole point - we have many and varied skills, but between us, we can do amazing things. So - please join the channel, and add yourself to the participants in WP:SPOTLIGHT. Thanks for your time! Chzz ► 22:27, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
