Regarding your edits to Wicoff School

Hi there. I just wanted to tell you that 24-hour time formats are better for the encyclopedia since it helps reduce confusion. Also, you should leave an edit summary for removal of content, and please respond to these as a sign of confirmation that you received this message.

OK; they just looked weird to me since I don't see or use them often. Nerdygeek101 (talk) 01:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. STYROFOAM1994^Talk 01:29, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userboxes

Don't you think you should shorten your userbox column? You can do that with a scrollbox. STYROFOAM1994^talk Review me! 01:38, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That seems like a good idea, but how do you create one? Nerdygeek101 (talk) 02:22, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Template:scrollbox. This is the basic scrollbox template and there is helpful documentation on it. STYROFOAM1994^talk Review me! 02:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok; thanks. Since one scrollbox can't fit all of my userboxes, I'm going to organize them into categories and create a subpage for them...this will probably be done over Memorial Day break. Nerdygeek101 (talk) 15:28, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really sorry, but I respectfully decline the invitation as I have little experience with alternate history; my alt-hist userbox reflects only my reading of the Timeline-191 article. Nerdygeek101 (talk) 01:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 02:44, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MOTDs (This space for rent)

You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 12:16, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Republic of China article

Since you mentioned the Republic of China in your user page, I guess you are interested to share your insights at Talk:Republic of China#Requested Move (February 2012). Thanks for your attention. 61.18.170.36 (talk) 17:40, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Try the new translation tool

Hello, I see that you're a translator. A new translation tool has been implemented and is ready for usage. Could you please try it by translating any page with Internet Explorer, and then report here on bugzilla if you find something wrong? We don't have many Internet Explorer testers, so your help would be very valuable. I also think that you'll enjoy translating with this tool. Thank you very much, Nemo 09:11, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Motto of the Day Help Request April 2014

Today's motto...

If life gives you lemons, you had better go get water and sugar too or your lemonade will not taste very good.

Nominate one today!

Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.

Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This message has been sent by pjoef on behalf of Motto of the Day to all editors of the English Wikipedia who are showing MOTD's templates on their pages, and to all the participants to MOTD: (page, template, and category).
