They will be back on Wikipedia when college is over.
Me in a nutshell, because userboxes are more fun to get info from than long, pointless text.
I'm a relatively new user, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about how to make Wikipedia the best it can be. If I do something wrong or you have something you think I should know, just post on my talk page. I will get back to you relatively quickly.
The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."-George Carlin
When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me.-- Emo Philips
When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.-- Jack Handey
My mom was a ventriloquist and she always was throwing her voice. For ten years I thought the dog was telling me to kill my father.-- Wendy Leibman
I sold my house this week. I got a pretty good price for it, but it made my landlord mad as hell.-- Garry Shandling
We used to play spin the bottle when I was a kid. A girl would spin the bottle and if it pointed to you when it stopped, the girl could either kiss you or give you a dime. By the time I was 14, I owned my own home.-- Gene Perret
There is only one sure way to win at Roulette... steal the chips from the table.--Einstein
Murphy's Law for Cartoon Gravity:Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation. Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland. He loiters in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to look down. At this point, the familiar principle of 32 feet per second per second takes over.
If you have an issue with one of my edits/reverts, go immediatley to my talk page and/or the disscussion board for that article and post your concerns. Without doing so, I will probably ignore you.
A redirect is a page that has the sole purpose to automatically redirect readers to a differently named page; to take the reader where they really wanted to go. Redirects allow a topic to have more than one title. Redirects are used for synonyms, abbreviations (initialisms), acronyms, accented terms (diacritics), misspellings, typos, nicknames (pseudonyms), scientific names, etc.
To create a redirect for the term "Oof":
Type Oof in the search box, press ↵ Enter
Click on the redlink for Oof that it presents
In the edit window that appears, type #REDIRECT [[Foo]] on the first line to make it lead to the article Foo
Redirects should be organized in to categories too. Each redirect can have up to seven redirect categories. Categories go on the third line of the redirect. (Note: Plant has a subcategory within the category of scientific name; enter plant after a pipe).
Here are two examples of a redirect category using a category template:
{{R from birth name}}
{{R from scientific name|plant}}
Preview your new redirect before saving it. Make sure:
There is a big right-facing arrow to the left of the bolded name of your target page name.
That your target page is bolded in blue (if it is red, go back and double check your target name in the edit window).
That your redirect category has rendered properly and that the boilerplate it presents makes sense.
