Hey. how it going. if you would just post some random comment that would be cool. Okay. Programmer13^Talk_{What I do} 17:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So...did you make this yourself?

If this is transcluded, how do you make it alert you as a new message? decltype (talk) 17:22, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, I got it from Template:Shoutbox. I don't really get a message when someone posts something, but I'm working on it! Programmer13^Talk_{What I do} 17:59, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you are rasist agaist robots and hate me, Please state below. If you hate me for no god damn reason, Please state below. If you hate me for saying (god) and (damn)... you know what to do. Thank you. Robot13 (talk) 19:31, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I just need to know why I do not have a edit toolbar that gives me a way to redirect, link, external and internal, images, ect. Its over the text box if you still don't know what I mean. Also Its always telling me I'm adding external links like right now... Oh, how can I fix it? Thanks! Robot13 (talk) 01:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proof I'm not messing with you...

Your edit includes new external links. These may be much welcomed links to references. Please note that the nofollow HTML attribute is applied to external links in Wikipedia, instructing search engines to ignore these links when computing page ranks. For information on our standards for adding links, please see our External links Guideline.

Adoption

I I'm looking for adoption. I am basically a noob. I need someone to guid me through wikipedia and answer my questions. (like the one above) Please, I only made one contribute, and It was deleted. I would like to know what people and administrators want. I'm a geek, yes. I won't be all defensive. but hey, I'm proud of it!

look on my user page for more on me. Thanks. Robot13 (talk) 01:45, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help request

OK, geek. Click this or this, and say hi. If neither work on your PC, reply below. Chzz ► 03:12, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

sorry, i've got some major parental control problems... I can't acess those sites! Robot13 (talk) 03:22, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It therefore very difficult for us to help you. You really need a means of connecting to IRC somehow. Chzz ► 03:47, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Parental Control Problem Solved

Solved! Robot13 (talk) 17:29, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

Usually adoption is accepted by changing the adoptoffer template to adopted. Also a note at the adopters page is usually appreciated. I'm assuming since you asked the question that you want me to adopt you, yes? I have a fairly strict adoption program in which, in order to graduate, you will eventually have to create an article and get it promoted to at least B-class. This program will start with the very basics, more as a way for me to gauge your level of "wiki-literacy", than pose any real challenge. The tasks will be given at User:Drew R. Smith/Adoption/Programmer13. You should probably watchlist this so you know when I have updated it with the next challenge.

As your adopter, I will be watching your contributions closely. If you get in a tight spot, I will help you if you are right. If you are wrong, I will merely deflect some of the criticism (a little criticism is always a good thing), and point out your errors. I will never be a shield, and you must never attempt to use me as a sheild.

If this is what you want, reply either here, or at my talkpage, and I will set up your first task at the above mentioned page.Drew Smith What I've done 13:06, 19 May 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Acceptable? Well I'm glad you approve! Lol. Ok, your first task is up. This one is simple, but they will get harder, so you need to remember, there is no time limit. Take your time if I give you a task that is particularly trying.Drew Smith What I've done 13:20, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about that revert, someone was vandal hunting and thought you were vandalising my page. Thats the problem with some vandal hunters, they don't actually read stuff before they revert.Drew Smith What I've done 13:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, to make a new heading use the == Heading == <br /> (thats a pagebreak) format. Subheadings are === Subheading === <br />. Due to the wikitags sometimes not taking properly you may need to add pagebreaks before the subheadings as well.Drew Smith What I've done 13:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know

I am logging off for the night. I will be on every day.Drew Smith What I've done 14:20, 19 May 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Is it Night For You?

For us its 10:24! Where do you live? Programmer13 (talk) 14:22, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, its 4:23 am. I live in Ewa Beach Hawaii. I should be up around noonish local time, so something should be posted by then.Drew Smith What I've done 14:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From your Wikisibling!

Hi!Stormcloud22 (talk) 18:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's alright, I know what you meant! It's weird though, every time I comment or do anything on the internet, people always assume I'm a guy. But I understand the sentiment behind your comment. Thanks for commenting, by the way, not many people do other than Drew. So what do you like to do here on wikipedia?Stormcloud22 (talk) 21:41, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who's your brother?Stormcloud22 (talk) 21:45, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Networking

Wikipedia is not a social networking site. I am technically obligated to point this out to you as you are my adoptee. That being said, this merely means don't get caught by someone who actually cares. I enjoy making friends with other wikipedians as you can see from my league of friends userbox. I think this is defenitly the best application of WP:IAR. You defenitly want to read this link, it's pretty good.Drew Smith What I've done 22:46, 19 May 2009 (UTC) [reply]

I found something!

New Article

Isn't that a poinsettia? It has to be at least a distant cousin. I used to work in the garden dept. at home depot, and if someone had asked about that I would have said poinsettia.Drew Smith W hat I've done 23:34, 20 May 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Don't worry, my parents are the same way. They don't even know I go on Wikipedia. They're really paranoid about the internet in general.Stormcloud22 (talk) 00:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New Task

Apologies, my internet fizzeled and died before I could post your next task. As for the article, no you don't need to write another.Drew Smith W hat I've done 01:03, 21 May 2009 (UTC) [reply]

First we...

First on your article then on mine. Monkeyfox (talk) 20:36, 21 May 2009 (UTC) Oops I didn't read the not edit the article... also I had to go some place! Monkeyfox (talk) 20:46, 21 May 2009 (UTC) At 5:40 we switch to my article. Monkeyfox (talk) 21:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC) I am downloading something.

Checking in

Just a quick checkin to see what everyone is working on. Have you got your article up for assessment yet? I sent you the template, so all you have to do is post it on he discussion page and wait for someone to check it out. Also, if there are any unique traits about your plant (i.e. the bright red blooming year round) that you want posted on the main page, check out T:TDYK and see if you can get it up there.Drew Smith What I've done 23:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Your question

I live in the northeast, and i'm usually on from around 2-9 local time. i'm not on the whole time from 2-9, but somewhere in that time.Stormcloud22 (talk) 01:02, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:What?/Sorry!

Well, that certainly was a shitstorm of messages. Everytime I went to reply I got a new message alert! Anyway, I assumed it probably was you, but couldn't be sure. How is your article coming?Drew Smith What I've done 18:48, 22 May 2009 (UTC) [reply]

MMM. That, was a very bad mistake. I was reading over an administrators notice board post, and saw a user say that "you little shit" is ok, and no-one should be blocked over it. I went over to make a point, but clicked the wrong username. Please, don't follow my example. The imbalance of power here could likely have resulted in my being blocked for that little display, and it won't happen again.Drew Smith What I've done 19:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:I picked the worst topic

Well, I'm not entirely sure what WP:plants requirements are, but I'm sure it's pretty close, B-class isn't too hard to hit. As for the topic, if you don't like it, pick another! There is an endless number of topics needing editing on wikipedia. Plus the millions of stubs. Take my seahorse for example. There was no article whatsoever, and that shocked the hell out of me. Seriously? No article for the seahorse!? I'm sure you an find a topic that needs writing that interests you. But, if not, you can always take a more mundane job in wikipedia. Not everyone is cut out to be a dragon.Drew Smith What I've done 19:11, 22 May 2009 (UTC) [reply]

It looks good, but without a pic I can't grade it a B. Thats the only obvious omission in my opinion.Drew Smith What I've done 19:58, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Why Are You On?

I decided to alter my schedule so as to be on when more people are active. This has the added bonus of making my schedule more socially acceptable in Real Life. I'm now getting up around 7 ish, and going to sleep around 10ish.Drew Smith What I've done 22:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Welcome templates

Hi, and thank you for welcoming Tash5555 (talk · contribs). Could I remind you that when you use the {{W-screen}} template you need to remember to substitute it like this: {{subst:W-screen}}. That will put your sig inside the result, so then you don't need to add another signature. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 01:25, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Porkchop28

I know... it's just someone should tell him I'll ask Drew to explain to him. Monkeyfox (talk) 13:05, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Why?

I have read somewhere that there is a rue about those templates. I deleted it so you wouldn't get in trouble. Sorry if it caused you any annoyance, Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk | _Sign 18:45, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Picture

I honestly have no idea why it's not working. Perhaps someone has messed with the taxobox template? IDK, I've tried everything I know how to do. I'll look into it more, but in the meantime try WP:EAR and WP:HELPDESK.

Thanks a bunch for fixing that!Stormcloud22 (talk) 18:42, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In case you haven't noticed...

On your To Do list, you listed "Get a Barnstar". I figure you're just too lazy to fix it (I'm the same way), but I thought I'd let you know. Stormcloud22 (talk) 23:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Porkchop28 adoption

this is what the point of view of user boxes are. A userbox (commonly abbreviated as UBX) is a small colored box designed to appear only on a Wikipedian's user page as a communicative notice about the user, in order to directly (or even indirectly) help Wikipedians collaborate more effectively on articles. (talk)

Adoption

Dear Programmer 13: Thank you for your offer to help me.

We have developed a page with a German mentor in the German Wikipedia which has been checked and published under the keyword: last name "Sacharwow", first name "Fedor". I would like to translate this page into English language. Please let me know how I can develop the page offline before it is checked for publication. In the German wikipedia we used a toll called workshop. Kind regards--Romanoff3 (talk) 09:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed speedy deletion tag: Ico Format

Hello Programmer13, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I removed the speedy deletion tag from Ico Format- because: the page is not nonsense - there is meaningful content. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions, please let me know. decltype (talk) 14:03, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
