I did the Wikipedia adventure and now I have two pages User:Mstrojny/TWA/Earth and User:Mstrojny/TWA/Earth/2 that display the same content. Can you please delete the first one and move the second one to the title of the first one? Thank you.

Done. Cheers--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 16:07, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

@Fuhghettaboutit: Thank you. --Mstrojny (talk) 16:34, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Hey Mstrojny. Anytime. By the way, I didn't receive your ping because of the way you tried to fix it. I created the temlpate I'm placing below a while back to explain this issue and have never had a chance to use it, so, since it's appicable here...

Hello Mstrojny. I noticed your attempt to fix your ping in this edit. That method does not work. The notifications system only informs a user when you link their username in the same saved edit as you successfully sign your post. A ping cannot be fixed in a later edit by adding a signature you forgot, by fixing your botched signature, or by fixing the user name link. Instead, you have to link the user name and successfully sign in a manner that the software parses as a new line of text. Help:Fixing failed pings has more information about the issues involved and provides suggested methods to successfully perform the fix. --Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 05:49, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@Fuhghettaboutit: Okay, sorry about that. Mstrojny (talk) 10:56, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Untitled section

Re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_English Why did you undo my correction of the Glottocode for New Zealand English? How was it "unconstructive" when it's entirely factual and up to date? I see you've been in trouble with Administrators before - I wonder why. But fine: have it your way; keep your little fiefdom; I couldn't care less. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.97.9.76 (talk) 01:32, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

@88.97.9.16: Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I am sorry if I undid a constructive edit. I have reverted your edit to New Zealand English. Hope that helps. Mstrojny (talk) 03:17, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Mstrojny. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{help me}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Nick Moyes (talk) 07:57, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Userboxes

I would like to add userboxes to my user page. Can you give me some ideas on which userboxes I should add first? Mstrojny (talk) 22:08, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Courtesy ping: Abelmoschus Esculentus -- he can probably help. :D ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:28, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Well I only design userboxes

You may add {{User Wikipedian for}} or userboxes that shows where are you from/what you like. See WP:USERBOX. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 23:26, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

User page

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I need help customizing my user page. WP:UP seems confusing to me. You can look at what I have so far, but I was wondering if you could help me add a few more things to my user page and help me with the formatting of my user page? I would appreciate that.

Mstrojny (talk) 19:57, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, please specify what you would like to add where. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:45, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: There isn't any particular thing I would like to have in my user page. I would like to have a more detailed user page like yours. Can you help me add more things to my user page? Mstrojny (talk) 20:50, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Mstrojny, I can't magically make up useful information; feel free to add any information to your userpage as normal text. For example, which country you are from, what you enjoy doing at Wikipedia, and which languages you speak how fluently. Only when that is already done, we can consider improving formatting and adding userboxes.

~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:55, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: I put a little more information about myself. Can you help me format my user page? Mstrojny (talk) 22:38, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Check again, and feel free to build upon this. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:08, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

TimedText:Eagles - Hotel California.ogg.en.srt

Check the edit before you make reverts. The revert right is not an excuse for not using it properly. I have sysop experience by the way. And stop spamming my userpage with nonesence, thanks.--Snaevar (talk) 00:06, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

@Snaevar: I'm sorry, I realize my mistakes. I will not do it again. Mstrojny (talk) 00:09, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
