TOTD lightbulb

How's this then?

Cool. Or, maybe I should say, Hot! Now all it needs is for the black outline on the bulb (the glass part) to be replaced by yellow, the pic's background made "transparent", and then saved in PNG format. Then it'll be a bonafide icon. --Go for it! 18:11, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Your new one is the best so far. The only thing I can think of to make it more realistic, not that a smiling light bulb is in any way based in reality, is to recolor the screw-in portion of the base to silver or gray (with black lines where the grooves are). Not the bottom cap though, those are usually black. Very good job. --Go for it! 10:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

In addition to being a cool emoticon for email, Larry the Lightbulb (or you could name him, if you like) is also a cool icon. Template:User tipster3. --Go for it! 11:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

And, in answer to your question...

Tip of the day... What are dummy edits good for? A dummy edit is a slight change in an article's wikitext that has no effect on the rendered page but allows you to save a useful edit summary. This is like a SMS (Short Message Service). To make a "dummy edit" just make a slight non-rendering change to the page, fill out the edit summary with your short message including this tag: [[WP:dummy edit]] (include the four square brackets), and save your change. (Note that a null edit does not modify the wikitext and does not allow you to leave an edit summary.) Uses for dummy edits: Correcting a previous edit summary Repairing insufficient attribution for copy-and-pasted Wikipedia content Addressing an accidental use of rollback Providing a note, from a user while logged-in, that notes an edit performed while logged out Sending brief messages regarding editing issues Providing proof of activity from time to time by a dormant but not dead user Prompting a bot to re-examine a page Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Help:Dummy edit   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{tip of the day}}

Anubis (cipher)

Can you provide a citation for "the designers claim that a misuser of the cipher will be cursed"? That's the oddball sort of trivia that ought to be backed up to prevent its removal as casual vandalism. Thanks! — Lomn Talk 15:51, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
