User talk:Nzzl/your mom
Hi everybody welcome to my talk pzz-nzz. I think this box at the top makes me seem pretty dang cool. I stole it from a guy who gave me the biggest welcome i'v ever seen. All Zzzlz have contribs of various magnitudes and people used to classify primates thusly:
now they use this set-up:
What do creationists use?
leave messgaes halfway down, please, not at the bottom. thanks.
The "predominant stylistic convention" is to use where the article is, not to make the styles of the names equal. Use the name they are most known as. F'shizzle. --Golbez 03:57, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
- Right, but the actual article IS at Dick Cheney. --Golbez 04:35, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
Hello[edit]
Hi Nzzl: Oh, thanks. Punctuation mistakes really get on my nerves. Per your question, Willy on Wheels is a vandal who attacks Wikipedia frequently. His personal type of vandalism is page moves, which means he moves random pages from (Name) to (Name on wheels!), or something of that accord. I see that you're new here at Wikipedia, so here's a message for you:
Welcome, Nzzl/your mom, to Wikipedia, the greatest encyclopedia on Earth! You seem to be off to a good start. Hopefully you will soon join the vast army of Wikipediholics!

Kzzl's subpages[edit]
Hi there. I noticed you wrote something in another user's subpage space. Is this something you wish to be removed? --HappyCamper 04:52, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm...could you please add the delete tag in the other account please? Message me once you're done. I'd just feel more comfortable deleted its content if you did that :-D Thanks a lot. Also, it's somewhat unorthodox to have 3 separate accounts. You might want to consider putting a notification somewhere so that other Wikipedians can tell you apart! Happy editing! --HappyCamper 04:56, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
Felons[edit]
The best thing to do is to bring up the issue on Talk:United States. --Golbez 03:51, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks :)[edit]
Yes, that was me. I was 128.194.54.244, but I figured out how to get a user name! I'm working on a way to make that page seem accurate to me, but acceptable to whoever's been working on it. I just know too many people who have gone to Iraq, and a couple friends who had family members who didn't come home. BQAggie2004 04:08, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- Again - to say it has universal suffrage (except for an exception) would somewhat contradict universal suffrage. Do any other countries with that exception say so? I think it's just generally assumed that felons can't vote. --Golbez 06:25, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
Cowbell[edit]
Have fun! By all means help yourself to it. I stumbled on it on someone else's user page and I just had to have it. We all need more cowbell! Just hit the edit button on my user page and it'll have the info there. Cut and paste and enjoy. - Lucky 6.9 19:13, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
I thought you guys could use some cheering up. cookies and punch probly woulda did it, huh? have an nice oprah instead. rep-rezizzl, y'all. Ished-out amounts of Vonn-ness 05:47, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
Inclusionism[edit]
I was able to imitate the look of a category with this HTML code:
<P align="right"><small><font color="blue"><u>Your text here</u></font></small></P>
Putting it at the top of your userpage should work; it looks perfect in the Classic skin, which I use.
As for the deletion debate, I'm not somebody who votes Keep on every article for deletion. I just have lower-than-average standards of inclusion than some people. I'm not very active in AfD these days, but I'd say my votes there are about 25% keep, 75% delete. The problem is that many things that are listed AfD ought to be speedily deleted, without consideration. It really surprises me that people don't have more sense when it comes to nominating articles for deletion. Anyway, you can learn more about inclusionism on the Meta-Wikimedia: m:Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians. I'll see you around! --Merovingian (t) (c) 14:20, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, I had a re-read of feedback. My point in doing the rv was that audio feedback already has an entry on the Feedback (disambiguation) page, and I also thought that the definition of audio feedback was slightly different to general feedback. I suppose my understanding of feedback is/was the intentional relaying of output to control input, but I realise now that most dictionaries only mention that this is implied rather than being part of the definition. So. If you like, you can put another reference back in the main article ... :-) -- postglock 14:05, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
- Brilliant, love your work, 5 stars!!! Works like a ... I'm to tired to think of an apt simile, but yeah, it's great... thanks -- postglock 15:42, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
Superscripts and sigs[edit]
So, I experimented a bit, and found that you had to put the first <sup> tag right before the item that you wanted to be bumped up a notch. So if you paste the following into your preferences, I think all will be cool.
<font color=#560007>[[user:nzzl|dzzno]]</font><font color=#1D3403><sup>[[Wikipedia:I don't exist|logic2]]</font></sup>
Hope this helps! Cheers, Bratschetalk | Esperanza 21:01, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
Re: Cleanupism[edit]
I labelled antiterrorism, because I happened to stumble across it. At that time I didn't have the time to go into the subject, although I'm surprised the topic has attracted so little attention, I mean with all the stuff going on lately. Anyways, cleanups can last as long as their needed, I mean like months, even years if no one comes along to fix it up. Karol 06:59, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
Your user page needs less Image:Cowbell2.gif[edit]
You have the image Image:Cowbell2.gif on your user page; this image is copyrighted and used in the Will Ferrell article under Wikipedia:Fair use. The use on your user page of that image is unlikely to be covered by use however, and as such is probably a Copyright violation. Could you remove the image from your user page? Thanks. --fvw* 23:40, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Neutral votes[edit]
Well, I can only speak for myself but I vote neutral because, although I wouldn't be distraught if he were to be made an admin, I do not feel confident enough about them as an editor to support. This is mostly when I have not worked with the editor before: I rarely vote neutral on an editor I know. Is that thew sort of answer you were looking for? --Celestianpower hablamé 22:31, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Stylistic error[edit]
Yeah, but I changed the redir now because Wikipedia is supposed to avoid self-references.
When you ask, "what's a stylistic error," what's the specific page you are referring to? —Lowellian (reply) 01:15, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the kudos, but I don't really deserve them for creating the redirect. I just removed a speedy deletion tag when I saw it wasn't really a recreation of an AFDed article as claimed. That's all. - Mgm|(talk) 21:43, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
